Tombstone Tuesday – J. Thomas and Nancy A. (Smith) Harrison
by Sherry Stocking Kline
January 19, 2009
The following stone is the final resting place of my great-grandmother's sister and her husband.
The Stone Reads:
J. Tom.
May 13, 1844
July 10, 1911
Nancy A.
November 9, 1846
October 13, 1927
This Stone is located in the cemetery of the Caney Fork Baptist Church, Temple Hill, Barren County, Kentucky.
Nancy A. (Smith) Harrison was the sister of my great-grandmother, my great-aunt. And until I began doing genealogy and doing research,I didn't even know she existed.
Somehow, that feels strange to me, that I have fairly close extended family all over the United States that I don't even know. That the person I hand money to in the store, even here in town, might be a cousin that I don't know exists.
My husband and I experienced a situation very much like that in 2006, and probably I should blog about that soon. It was one of those serendipitous moments that we've had at least three times, meeting people that we were related to, and never knew about. But I digress.
Nancy A (Smith) Harrison was the daughter of Charles and Virginia (Hawley) Smith, and the sister of my great-grandmother, Martha Ellen Smith Jones. Now I know where my great-aunt was buried, but to this day, so far, I haven't a clue where Martha Ellen was buried.
My great-grandmother is not buried next to her husband, and I don't believe she was alive when he lived in the area he is buried in. Nancy Harrison's other sibling, children of Charles and Virginia Hawley Smith (the ones that I know about) are: Calvin, George W., Sarah A., Mary E., Martha Ellen, Jones (my great-grandmother), William, and I believe there was one more child, but I don't have that child's name.
Nancy's brother, George, married Miss Julia Harrison, but I've not yet tried to learn if Julia and J. Tom are siblings. That would be a great addition to my Genealogical Goals for 2010! And a goal that should be fairly straightforward.

And if you are reading this, and you're my kin, please leave a note so we can say "hello, nice to meet you!"

Participants at the 2012 AAFP Scientific Assembly attend a CME session.
The AAFP will offer voluntary CME for members on extended-release/long-acting (ER/LA) opioid analgesics during the upcoming 2013 Scientific Assembly in San Diego.
Focused on the criteria set out in the FDA Blueprint for Prescriber Education for Extended-Release and Long-Acting Opioid Analgesics(www.fda.gov), which is associated with the agency's risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) covering ER/LA opioids, the two-part session will be presented on Sept. 27 at 8:15 and 9:30 a.m. and again on Sept. 28 at 9:30 and 10:45 a.m.
According to Kathy Marian, M.Ed., AAFP senior manager of CME educational design and technology, the live REMS-specific CME sessions will feature two hours of faculty-led presentations and include an AAFP CME Bulletin. Physicians also are required to take the post-assessment test to officially complete this voluntary CME program. All components of the program must be completed to fully satisfy the educational criteria outlined in the FDA blueprint associated with the agency's ER/LA REMS.
Story Highlights
- The AAFP is offering voluntary CME on extended-release/long-acting (ER/LA) opioid analgesics at the upcoming 2013 Scientific Assembly in San Diego.
- The live CME sessions will feature two hours of faculty-led presentations along with an AAFP CME Bulletin, all of which must be completed to fully satisfy the educational criteria outlined in the FDA Blueprint for Prescriber Education for Extended-Release and Long-Acting Opioid Analgesics.
- The AAFP will offer other live and online course options to address this voluntary educational component of the ER/LA opioids REMS in October and beyond.
The goal of the ER/LA REMS, Marian said, is to reduce the number of serious adverse outcomes resulting from inappropriate prescribing, misuse and abuse of these drugs, while also maintaining patient access to pain medications. Adverse outcomes of concern include addiction, unintentional overdose and death.
"This voluntary education is designed to help mitigate the national crisis on ER/LA opioid drugs," Marian told AAFP News Now.
Goals and Process
According to Marian, the FDA has established clear benchmarks for the ER/LA Opioid Analgesics REMS Program Companies (RPC), the group of 17 ER/LA opioid manufacturers responsible for providing grant support for this education.
Specifically, the FDA goal is that within two years from the time the first REMS-compliant training becomes available, 80,000 prescribers (based on 25 percent of the 320,000 active prescribers in 2011) will have been trained. At the three- and four-year marks, respectively, the FDA anticipates 160,000 (50 percent of 2011 active prescribers) and 192,000 prescribers (60 percent) will have completed the voluntary training.
Should the voluntary approach fail, Marian said, there's a possibility that the DEA could institute a specific statutory requirement for physicians to complete CME to prescribe these drugs.
The AAFP worked as an "In Cooperation With Organization" with the Collaborative for REMS Education(www.core-rems.org) (CO*RE), which spearheaded development of this CME activity through grant funding. CO*RE, in turn, received its grant support for the entire program from the RPC.
Free Chronic Pain Webinar Available
The free AAFP webinar "Chronic Pain: Management and Safe Treatment" is now available online.
According to Kathy Marian, M.Ed., AAFP senior manager of CME educational design and technology, this CME chronic pain course -- funded by an educational grant to the AAFP from Purdue Pharma L.P. -- focuses on educating family physicians about chronic, nonmalignant pain and encourages them to talk with patients about past or present risk factors.
Using outcomes data gleaned from the "Mission: Pain Management -- The Efficient First Visit" session held during the 2012 AAFP Scientific Assembly in Philadelphia, Marian said the webinar addressed gaps identified in the outcome measures and barriers identified by members who attended the session.
A patient brochure addressing several topics, including the elements of pain, how opioids work, the safe use of opioids and how to recognize signs of opioid overdose, also is offered.
"CO*RE is a collaboration that includes 11 partners and three in-cooperation-with organizations that have created a curriculum that meets the needs of all targeted learners," Marian explained. "The Academy's CME educational design staff included an AAFP physician-member expert to further coordinate our efforts, providing suggestions regarding the CME content to support and improve the education delivered to members. The Academy is actively engaged in the planning and continuous improvement of the curriculum."
Other Opportunities
Marian said the live ER/LA REMS course also will be offered on the following days during these national courses:
- Oct. 3 and 4 during the Emergency and Urgent Care live course at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa in Hilton Head, S.C.;
- March 6 and 7, 2014, during the Women's Health CME live course at the Caribe Royale All Suite Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando; and
- April 9-12, 2014 (exact dates TBD), during the Emergency and Urgent Care live course at the Westin Chicago North Shore in Wheeling, Ill.
In addition, an online version of the course is scheduled for release soon, according to Marian. The AAFP plans to include supplemental tools in the online CME activity to further reinforce the learning experience.
"The interactive online format will be released at the end of October," she said. "Learners can participate in that online CME at their own pace, and once they've completed the program and post-assessment, they'll have met the objectives outlined in the FDA REMS blueprint. Physicians will also be able to share this education with members of their team."

A lawyer well known for his work in gay rights and environmental advocacy burned himself to death in a Brooklyn park on Saturday as a protest against fossil fuels.
The remains of David Buckel, 60, were found by civilians passing through the New York park, and police say he was pronounced dead at around 6:30 a.m EST.
WATCH: Man sets himself on fire inside Vancouver restaurant
The New York Times reports that it received an emailed copy of Buckel's suicide note, in which he wrote that he hoped his death was an "honorable" one and that it "might serve others."
The note also stated that "Pollution ravages our planet, oozing inhabitability via air, soil, water and weather. Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early as a result – my death by fossil fuels reflects what we are doing to ourselves."
Buckel apparently left the note in a shopping cart in close proximity to where his remains would be found the following day. According to the Times, authorities had removed Buckel's body by 11 a.m., leaving a black, circular patch.
Buckel was the lead attorney in a lawsuit involving Brandon Teena, a transgender man who was murdered in Nebraska. Hilary Swank won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Teena in the 1999 movie Boys Don't Cry.
WATCH: IIO called in after man sets himself on fire inside McDonald's
Buckel also served as marriage project director at Lambda Legal, a national organization that fights for LGBTQ rights, where he was the strategist behind same-sex marriage cases in New Jersey and Iowa. Friends confirmed that after Buckel left Lambda Legal he got involved with environmental activism.
Susan Sommer, a former Lambda Legal attorney who is now the general counsel for the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice in New York City, told the Times that Buckel "was all about justice, but he was also all about what it means to be human."
Sommer added, "He was a very smart and methodical lawyer. He knew his craft and his trade and was strategic in how to build the blocks toward a sweeping victory."
Buckel noted in his letter that he was fortunate to have "good health to the final moment," and added that he hoped his death would lead to increased action on environmental concerns.
"Honorable purpose in life invites honorable purpose in death," he concluded.

The first offering in Valve's new line of collectibles, Team Fortress 2's the Heavy, is now up for pre-order. These lovely limited edition statues can soon be yours, provided you've got the scratch to afford it.
Gaming Heads is now taking orders for four separate versions of the Heavy. The RED Heavy and BLU Heavy will set you back $229.99 USD and are limited to 750 units. The exclusive versions of the RED Heavy and BLU Heavy, both of which come with an alternate, more pensive head and an alternate gun—giving collector's both Sascha and Natascha—will cost a cool $244.99 USD. The exclusive statues are limited to 300 each.
Cheap? No way. But for 13 inches of hand-painted high quality poly-stone sculpture, not outrageous. It's currently beyond my means—and spending justification—but for the collector of fine video game statuettes, it may be the Heavy you've been waiting for. Who's buyin'?

6月30日摔断手镯游客"失联"? 事发商城姐告玉城通过其官方微信公众号,隔空喊话:到目前为止,费女士不知所踪,电话失联,不正面出来解决事情,导致事情一拖再拖。希望费女士能出面正面协商解决问题。如果她对之前的评估报告存在质疑,可以按照正常的司法程序。同时,可以找一家双方都认可、具有说服力的第三方权威评估机构,重新作出评估。 对于费女士事发后便失联一事,姐告玉城实业责任有限公司总经理李月超回应,费女士种种做法和其前后不一的言辞,令他们摸不着头脑。 "她也没跟我们联系。然后打了几通电话,手机也都是关机。她一直含糊其辞的,一会儿这样,一会儿那样。我们也不知道她哪句话是真的。一开始问她哪天来的,她说是6月27日来的。后来又了解了一下,她又说是26日到的瑞丽。她又说她家里如何如何困难,是跟她另外一个朋友两个人出来散心的。结果,事情发生后又流出两个视频,一个是她在渡船上的,另一个是在一家根雕店门口的。我们也不知道她说的哪句话是真的,现在也不想去理会。" 看完,还真是一波三折。
7月3日,费女士录制了一段视频,表示会对事情负责。 摔断玉镯游客公开道歉 表示仍会赔偿 多家媒体报道称,事发之后费女士不见踪影。 一段网传视频中,费女士的朋友表示她不再进行赔偿。 这段视频拍摄于6月28日,视频中一名男子说费女士不进行赔偿,偷渡跑路了。随后媒体纷纷报道费女士失联,不再对此事负责。
随后,当事人费女士联系上了条形码, 表示自己并没有失联!
7月3日,费女士录制了一段视频,拍摄者同样是上一段视频的拍摄者江先生,当时一起乘船的范先生也出现在了视频里。 江先生说,费女士摔坏玉镯之后心情不好,于是邀约她外出乘船游玩。自己当时说这段话是为了逗费女士开心,仅仅是个玩笑。 江先生:"没想到这段视频引起媒体关注、转载,给社会和费女士带来了不好的影响,这是我的错,在这里我郑重地向媒体公开道歉,尤其是费女士,向你说声对不起。" Broken Bracelet female tourists said video public apology will be responsible for compensation June 27th morning Free travel in the morning, visitors to Ruili ladies travel to visit the city. Period, when trying to wear bracelets, accidentally sold Mr. Lin called 300 thousand yuan Bracelet broke. Due to excessive tension, Ms. Fei syncope on the spot, after 120 first aid, the body does not matter. June 28th By the Public Security Bureau police station commissioned Jiegao abroad, Ruili gem association gives the evaluation opinions, in June 27th the sister divisions Tamaki "jade bracelet damage" in the damaged bracelet, to assess the market value of 180 thousand, suggested by mosaic gold bracelet damage repair. Three The two sides cannot negotiate The two sides had privately negotiated, the negotiation fails after the local police under the auspices of the mediation, the owner Lin agreed a fee for 170 thousand yuan to resolve the matter, but a fee only took 10 thousand yuan, because the amount of compensation is too large, failed to reach a compensation agreement. Informed sources said, fee also want to do a judicial appraisal, she may want to solve this matter through legal channels. June 30th broke Bracelet tourists "lost contact"? The mall is the sister divisions Tamaki through its official WeChat public number, taking a loudspeaker: so far, Ms. fee missing, phone lost contact, not head out to solve things, things dragged on to. I hope Ms. Fei will come forward and negotiate the problem. If she has doubts about the previous assessment report, she can follow the normal judicial procedure. At the same time, we can find a third party authoritative evaluation institution with both sides' approval and persuasion, and make a new assessment. For Ms. Fei after the incident lost contact, sister told Yu City Industrial Limited Liability Company general manager Li Yuechao responded, Ms. Fei various practices and their different words, so that they can not find the mind. "She didn't contact us, either. And then made a few calls, the phone is also off. She kept mumbling, for a while, for a while. We don't know which of her words is true. One day she began to ask, she said came in June 27th. Then I learned about it, and she added that it was the 26 day when she arrived in ruili. She said her family how difficult, she is with another friend of two people out of the house. The results, after the event and out of two videos, one is she on the ferry, the other one is in front of a store root. We do not know what she said is true, and now do not want to pay attention to." After reading, it is striking one snag after another. Recently, the event changed again! In July 3rd, Ms. fee recorded a video that said she would be responsible for the incident. Broken Bracelet tourists apologized still for a number of media reports, after the incident, Ms. fee disappeared. In a web video, Ms. Fei's friend said she was not paying compensation. The video was taken in June 28th, and a man in the video said Ms. Fei was on the run without compensation. Subsequently, the media have reported that Ms. Fei lost contact, no longer responsible for the matter. Subsequently, the parties concerned Ms. Fei contacted the bar code, indicating that they have not lost contact! In July 3rd, Ms. fee recorded a video of the photographer who was also a video of the previous video. Mr. Fan, who was on board the boat, also appeared in the video. Mr. Jiang said, Ms. fee broke Bracelet after a bad mood, and asked her out on a cruise. I was saying it was funny to make fun of the lady, just a joke. Mr. Jiang: "I think this video has attracted media attention and reproduced, brings bad influence to the society and fee lady, this is my fault, I solemnly to the media public apology, especially for women, say sorry to you."

"We started our Small Business Initiative program to help Small Businesses get online in August 2013. When Divi was released in December 2013, it rapidly became our go-to template for all WordPress sites. During the past year, we have only had one client who wanted a different template. Divi is so easy to customize, that most clients can't even tell it's the Divi theme.
Then, the builder is so easy for my clients to use, it's a snap to turn over to them to manage all their own content. And, they rarely mess it up. (However, it has happened, but Divi is so easy to admin, we can quickly hop online and adjust/fix any mistakes they've made.
I am a huge fan. HUGE."
"After discovering Elegant Themes some 4 years ago and using pretty much all of the themes on my client sites - it is clear to say that my business is built on Elegant Themes. Around 7 months ago, I discovered Divi and used my friend and client Pat Sharp as a test on Divi.
Since then, I have transitioned around 40% of my clients to Divi and continue to beat the drum on the theme - its flexibility allows me and my developers to build a site in a few days rather than a few weeks and it offers everything a customer could need, out of the box mobile ready and if we do need to make amendments to the CSS to change the way it looks we can! Simply put, without Divi, I would not have a business and I cannot imagine using it on every site I build."

Divi is built by a team of incredibly passionate people...you can feel it in their blog posts, you can feel it in their videos...but most importantly you can feel it in their products because they keep getting better and better without me asking for anything."

AIKEN, SC - The Georgia College & State University women's basketball team (17-11) saw its season come to a close tonight (March 5) in the quarterfinal round of the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship Tournament, dropping a 62-48 loss to host USC Aiken (21-10).
Senior forward Tiauna Brantley (Woodstock, Ga.) paced GCSU with 19 points and six rebounds, while Antoinette Reames (Orlando, Fla.) added nine points and eight boards.
Senior Morgan Johnson and junior Kendra Chandler keyed a second-half run that enabled third-seeded USC Aiken to claim a 62-48 win over sixth-seeded GCSU.
USCA advances to face second-seeded Clayton State University in Saturday's second semifinal game at 4 p.m. GCSU ends its season at 17-11.
The Lady Pacers held GCSU to 36.4 percent shooting as the Bobcats couldn't find the range from deep, going just 1-of-12 from behind the three-point arc. The Bobcats entered the contest as the PBC's top three-point shooting team in terms of makes (192) and percent (35.0%).
Chandler led the Lady Pacers with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Johnson added 14 points and nine rebounds.
With USCA holding a 38-32 lead, Johnson (8) and Chandler (7) combined for 15 points in a 19-5 Lady Pacer spurt that resulted in a 20-point margin (57-37) with 5:04 left. Altogether, USCA held GCSU without a made field goal for exactly six minutes.
During the final 20 minutes, USCA shot 61.1 percent from the floor, while holding the Bobcats to 7-of-20.
The first half was a nip-and-tuck affair that saw neither team lead by more than four points. USCA led 19-15 only to see GCSU counter with a 6-0 run to go up 21-19. During one five-minute span, Brantley scored 10 straight Bobcat points.
The Lady Pacers led 26-23 at halftime thanks to a long three-pointer by Meredith Legg with 1:12 left before intermission.
The loss brings the 2008-09 season to a close, a 17-11 year that saw the Bobcats reach as high as No. 6 in the NCAA Regional Rankings. Brantley and junior point guard Shandrea Moore (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) were All-PBC Second Team selections, the first season since 2003-04 that the Bobcats landed two on the all-conference teams. The Bobcats lose the services of just three seniors, as Brantley, Emily Bixler (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and Tonishia Wimbish (Ellenwood, Ga.) laced them up for the final time.

Apparently, everything in Portland closes at 7pm, which put a serious crimp in my drive-by schedule.
I got up early to catch my flight to Oregon, only to watch it be delayed for an hour.
TOU TIP #16---Don't fly if you can avoid it. My next tour will be more driving, less flying. Then I'll have more time to visit stores, and spend less time in airports being delayed.
That said, I got to Portland within an hour of my event at Murder by the Book, and had to hustle to make it in time.
I had an hour of solo, plus another hour with two other mystery writers, the talented Ron Lovell and the remarkable Shirley Tallman. Shirley impressed me so much with her wit, candor, and experience, that I plunked down the money for her historical mystery The Russian Hill Murders even though I've never bought a period book before in my life. If, like me, you thought historicals were slow-moving and sans action, think again---this one is a race car.
The event was well attended, and the owner, Carolyn Lane, was a great host who kept things moving at a good pace.
After signing twenty books, I got a lesson on Oregon hospitality. Barbara Tom, who works at MBTB, took pity on me when I lamented my lack of a GPS unit (the rental car compnay didn't have any) and offered to drive me to a nearby Best Buy so I could purchase one.
For all she knew, I might have been a violent maniac. But still offered to give me a lift since the store was closing in twenty minutes and I didn't know the area.
Turns out, Barb was the violent maniac. A believer in karma, Barb must have been a New Yourk cabbie in a former life, because she drove like the car was on fire. We made it to the store in time, I plunked down some big bucks for a GPS, and then Barb topped her kindness by showing my where the local Powell's bookstore was, so I could do a drive-by.
Thanks again, Barb. You're good people.
I managed only four drive-bys, which meant I had time to relax and enjoy the lovely Heathman Hotel, right?
Wrong. I got back to my room and rather than unwind, I was up until the wee hours trying to figure out my new GPS toy and programming it for my car trip to Seattle the next day.
Powell's Portland Airport, signed 3 paperbacks.
Powell's on Hawthorne, signed 1 hardcover, 2 paperbacks.
Powell's on Burnside, signed 2 hardcovers, 2 paperbacks.
Borders on 3rd street--closed ten minutes before I got there.
TOUR SO FAR: I've signed 770 books at 87 bookstores. I have two days in Washington. We'll see what kind of damage I can do there.
FUN FACT ABOUT PORTLAND-- Portland has 37,000 acres of green parks, and they all close at 7PM.
COLLECTION UPDATE--With the Heathman, I've now acquired 28 little bottles of shampoo and conditioner, 12 bottles of hand cream, 32 bars of soap, two sets of ear plugs, two eye masks, seven chocolate candies, three sewing kits, and a complimetary bottle of spring water.
Plus seven hairdryers, six coffee makers, 19 towels, five robes, three clock radios, a lamp, and a framed Warhol litho.
And don't even get me started on the mini-bars. I totaled up the cost of all the goodies in the room, and they're worth over seventeen thousand dollars.
Hotels are cool.

Jennee Thompson has released her first published book. Nude Honesty is a 152 page memoir. This memoir includes her journey of moving away from Wooster and taking a huge risk, moving to Miami, Florida, without a job or a place to live. There are stories from job experiences to dating disasters but the primary focus isn't what happened during this phase of her life but how it shaped her into who she would become.
Nude Honesty was written for twenty-something females, but much to Jennee Thompson's surprise, a majority of her sales go to women (and even men) in their 50's. While distribution of local locations to sell Nude Honesty are still being sorted out, it can be purchased through Amazon for paperback and Kindle editions.
For any ordering information, contact Jennee Thompson at

Known as the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program, the plan covers all graduate tuition not already provided for by the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The Post-9/11 GI Bill offers financial support for education and housing to individuals with at least 90 days of collective service on or after Sept. 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. Those service members also must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible for the funding. As a provision of the bill, the Yellow Ribbon Program allows U.S. degree-granting institutions to enter into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. Each participating institution can contribute up to 50 percent of those expenses and the VA will match the same amount as the institution. Starting Aug. 1, 2011, qualifying veterans who are current or incoming students at one of Palmer's campuses will be able to apply to the Yellow Ribbon Program on a first-come, first-served basis. Those accepted will have their tuition costs covered for one year, beginning with the fall 2011 term. While other undergraduate and chiropractic colleges and universities participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program at varying levels, Palmer has made a commitment to participate in the program at the highest possible discount to students. The Yellow Ribbon Program is one of several ways Palmer College is supporting U.S. veterans and military personnel. At its clinics, active-duty military personnel, qualified veterans and their families are given free chiropractic care. Palmer also provides its senior-level interns an opportunity to work with a staff chiropractor located in a Department of Defense or Veterans Affairs hospital. Current or prospective Palmer students interested in applying to the Yellow Ribbon Program should contact: Registrar's Office, Davenport Campus, (563) 884-5654, firstname.lastname@example.com Financial Planning, West Campus, (408) 944-6023, firstname.lastname@example.com Student Administrative Services, Florida Campus, (386) 763-2667, firstname.lastname@example.com

Brussels, 6 February 2007
Mobile operators agree on how to safeguard children using mobile phones
Leading European mobile operators today signed in Brussels an agreement on how to protect minors using mobile phones. This agreement, brokered by the European Commission, responds to the findings of the Commission's public consultation on child safety and mobile phones published today. In the agreement, mobile operators undertake to develop self-regulatory codes by February 2008.
"This agreement is an important step forward for child safety," said Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner responsible for Telecommunications and Media. "I congratulate the mobile phone industry for moving towards protecting minors. It shows that responsible self-regulation can work at European level. The Commission will monitor very closely the effective implementation of today's agreement, for which the deadline is February 2008."
Following Mrs Reding's initiative, leading mobile operators will safeguard children by joining a European Framework on Safer Mobile Use by Younger Teenagers and Children. In this new text, operators agree to support:
• awareness-raising campaigns for parents and children;
• the classification of commercial content according to national standards of decency and appropriateness;
• the fight against illegal content on mobiles.
The signatories of the European Framework on Safer Mobile Use by Younger Teenagers and Children are Bouygues Telecom, Cosmote, Debitel AG, Deutsche Telekom Group, Go Mobile, Hutchison 3G Europe, Jamba! GmbH, Mobile Entertainment Forum, Orange Group, Royal KPN N.V., SFR, Telecom Italia S.p.A, Telefonica Moviles, S.A., Telenor, TeliaSonera and Vodafone Limited.
To implement the European Framework, signatory operators and content providers will develop national self-regulatory codes by February 2008. The Commission will monitor and assess its efficiency after 12 months.
The industry agreement of today is a result of discussions held in a High-Level Group set up by Commissioner Reding in September 2006. This group, representing mobile operators, content providers, child protection and consumer organisations, and regulators, is a good example of industry self-regulation, an approach favoured by the Commission if it is efficiently implemented.
The industry agreement of today responds to many of the concerns expressed in replies to the Commission's public consultation on safer mobile use which took place from 25 July to 16 October 2006 (see IP/06/1059). In this consultation, along with the benefits of mobile phones, particular risks for young people were identified such as: bullying, sexual grooming for abuse, access to illegal/harmful pornographic and violent content privacy risks, in particular due to the inappropriate use of camera phones and location services. The consultation also made clear that responsibility for safe use of mobile phones should be shared between parents and carers, mobile operators and service providers, as well as public authorities.
Self-regulation is seen at present as a potentially appropriate way to ensure child protection on mobile phones. However, it still needs to be launched or implemented across all EU Member States. Public authorities at national and at EU level will have to monitor developments carefully and assess at regular occasions the efficiency of self-regulation to judge whether public intervention may become required.
Today's signing of the European Framework on Safer Mobile Use by Younger Teenagers and Children in Brussels is a key event, amongst the many others taking place worldwide today, to mark the fourth "Safer Internet Day".

He was arrested and sent to one of the labor camps spread throughout the country. His captors believed that once they controlled everyone, they would have reached "Communist Heaven," but Nyugen wouldn't bend and found a way to escape, risking his life again to flee his country and find freedom.
Dunivan grew up in the Midwest and earned a degree in journalism from the University of Missouri. He met Nyugen in London.

bully bosses, cynthia de lorenzi, devil wears prada, Maggie thatcher, mean girl, meryl streep, Oscars, Success in the City, the iron lady, women leadership
Between Maggie Thatcher in The Iron Lady and Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep has played some pretty tough bosses in her movies. So when I got the umpteenth request from professional women – readers, clients and friends – to explain the phenomenon of lady bully bosses (i.e., biologically grown up mean girls), I thought I'd turn to her movies for enlightenment. You see, I've never worked for a mean girl boss, I don't have sisters or daughters and it's been way too long since I was in high school where I have faint memories of studying them in their breeding grounds.
The movies were only slightly more insightful than my long-lost memory. Streep is so good at giving characters depth (the reason she keeps winning Oscars!) that even her lady bitches have potentially admirable motives. And that's the catch. Based on my interviews of real professional women who have worked for mean girl bosses, the big difference between Streep's characters and real bully bosses is that, as seen through the eyes of their direct reports, queen bee jerks have no motive other than to win a competition that is usually only played by other jerks (of both genders).
How Can She Be So Mean?
Everyone wants to know how women can be so mean to other women, so I set about to see if I could discover answers. Many people had theories – like the cave girl needs to compete for the attention of men to father good-gened babies – but there really seemed only three credible core motivations that came through in every story.
Insecurity: The most common characteristic of the real mean girls I found was insecurity. One client, D, found herself working for a woman VP who kept her door shut, arranged every meeting so she came in late, controlled the agenda from the moment she entered the room, used passive-aggressive techniques to be "in control", made decisions without telling anyone and wouldn't discuss them after they'd leaked out. My client, being a very straightforward woman, very secure in her knowledge and expertise and inexperienced with such bosses, was unprepared for this and didn't realize that she was inadvertently threatening her boss by refusing to play the game – until it was too late and she was on her way out (in one of those decisions that no one knew about until the CEO signed her demotion papers.) She never really saw it coming.
Competition: Another common characteristic I found was competition, which is often stimulated by insecurity. My friend N described a mean-girl-down between two female VPs (N being the third woman VP, a neutral party who both would talk to about the other) that had broken out into straight-out competition. But they weren't competing for work bennies (e.g., raises, authority, budget); they were competing to win the catfight against each other. Any benefit, attention from the CEO, acknowledgment of unhappiness from the other – anything that could be construed as a "win" over the other – counted in their invisible scorekeeping. One of the women literally pulled a stunt out of the movie Mean Girl by putting fattening treats in a bowl on her desk that she put out for the other woman to eat – who did! And gained weight! And the first one admitted gleefully (win!) that her plot had worked!
The Gender-Neutral Bully Virus: There is one other common factor I find in the real world, which is that most mean girl bosses work for bully bosses as well – both men and women – who tolerate their behavior. The typical "man" meanness and "woman" meanness might manifest slightly differently, but a jerk boss is a jerk boss and the pattern seems to repeat and reinforce itself across gender lines. I came away from the stories I heard feeling that bully bosses seem to be a bit like a virus that can take over an organization's culture. The virus rewards and promotes itself, twisting the environment to be unpleasant for everyone, rewarding to those who can play underhanded betrayal games and fulfilling the game-player's warped sense of self above competence and company goals. Once it's reached these proportions, you're not only fighting an individual mean girl (or boy), you're fighting an entire dysfunctional culture and your individual chances of winning go down exponentially.
The Hollywood View
The Streep movies played primarily on the competitiveness theme, and even so I found them a bit out of sync with the real women I spoke to. Although mean girl competition was played up in The Devil Wears Prada, it didn't manifest as a tempt-her-to-get-fat catfight. Rather, the game was played out on a male game board instead. Miranda Priestly (Streep's character) thwarts a coup by her boss and another female colleague, pulling a masterful chess move, to keep her job. Through the movie camera lens, the queen had to sacrifice her knight, who took it royally and opted to stay in the game despite the betrayal, but she did lose a would-be apprentice pawn in the process (Anne Hathaway). Miranda Priestly had mastered the man's game of chess, but she could have been so much worse, she could have been a bitchy cat fighter too. The way Streep played her, Miranda Priestly was worthy of grudging respect in the end, even if you didn't agree with her values.
In a recent interview, I heard Streep quoted as saying that Miranda Priestly is the only role she's ever played (in 30 years on film!) that a man told her he could empathize with. To me this speaks to the strong possibility that The Devil Wears Prada may not have been an authentic mean girl story, but a Hollywood fabrication mixing male and female patterns.
In The Iron Lady, Maggie Thatcher was raised to play the man's game and played it masterfully, to the point that her foibles and flaws were portrayed as identical to any man's: family neglect and stubbornness. The movie never even put her in the room with another woman unless it was to contrast her with the kind of woman she wasn't. In her generation, of course, there really weren't other women playing the game of top-level, cut-throat politics of party leadership – so perhaps it portrayed reality quite well. I don't really know, but I didn't gain much insight into Thatcher's unique feminine challenges other than that she had to give up her hat, update her hairstyle and that she won (and ultimately lost) the male game – on the male game's terms.
I came away from both movies unclear whether either story was authentic to the reality of what women in top positions can be, or are, when they have to be tough to get the job done. I also didn't see that the actual Streep characters – unlike the movie posters and trailers – were true mean girl bosses. They played more into the pattern that women who succeed in a man's world are perceived in our culture as unattractive, which is verified by research. Meryl Streep's characters certainly didn't portray the more familiar authenticity that Mean Girls did with the candy-eating travesty. My bottom line takeaway from my movie research is that even in the stories we tell ourselves about female bully bosses, we don't really know what an authentic bitch looks like on film. Maybe truth is really stranger than fiction.
The larger lesson
In a later post I'll provide some advice for how to handle a mean girl boss when you find yourself working for one, but there is a final thought I had as I concluded this first round of research. As I said above, after talking to women more experienced than I, my ultimate conclusion is that jerks are jerks no matter what gender guise they wear in the game. When we try to explain their behavior "because she's a woman", if we're not careful we end up letting them off the hook for being jerks. Let's not do that, ok? Just because she's a woman doesn't mean we have to try to find a justification. If we want equality, we have to accept that women can be jerks, a-holes and bitches too – and deal with this reality for what it is – a powerlessness (e.g., insecurity) masquerading as power. I really believe that when we can do this, we're on our way to authentic equality.
Do you know what an authentic bitch boss looks like? Are you a recovered Mean Girl? Do any of the movies get it right? Have you worked for a mean girl boss? Contribute to my next post and tell me what you did to survive. Did you keep your integrity intact? Do you think men and women have the same jerk virus or is it meaningfully different? We've all encountered these people, what lessons have you learned? Pass on your wisdom in comment below!

Subject Matter: Physical Science
National Standards: NS.5-8.1, NS.5-8.2
Meter sticks
Kinetic energy – the energy of motion.
Elasticity – the ability of a material to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or deformed.
Elastic potential energy – potential energy that is stored due to the deformation of an elastic object, such as a stretched spring.
Air pressure – the force exerted by air pushing on a surface.
Begin the lesson by having students watch the SciFri Video, Physics of Basketball. Have students name their favorite ball sport, and then describe the type of ball that they would use to play that sport. Why does each ball sport use a specific type of ball?
Show students the basketball, golf ball, baseball, and tennis ball. Ask them to explain why they think each ball is the best type of ball to use for that particular sport. Compare and contrast each of their different properties, such as size, shape, texture, material, and weight. How do these properties affect the ball's performance or function?
Tell students that they will be testing the bounce of each ball. Discuss with students possible methods for testing bounciness. Hand out meter sticks and have students tape the meter stick to a wall. The bottom of the meter stick should be touching the floor and numbers should increase from the bottom to the top of the stick.
Before dropping the ball, make sure the bottom of the ball is at the very top of the meter stick.
To make sure each ball starts out with the same initial speed, gently release the ball and allow it to fall on its own.
Measure the highest height reached by the bottom of the ball.
Optional: To increase accuracy, students can drop each ball three times and take the average of those results.
Tell students that they will be measuring how high each of the balls bounce by placing each ball, one at a time, at the top of the meter stick, and then dropping it. If possible, have students work in pairs so that one student can drop the ball while the other student can observe and record the measurements. In order to ensure accurate results, review the following measuring tips with students:
Before students begin measuring, create a three-column chart with one column listing the type of sport ball, one column for students' predictions, and one column for actual results. Have students predict which type of ball will bounce the highest and which ball will bounce the lowest. Record their predictions on the chart on a scale of one to four, with one being the highest bounce and four being the lowest bounce. Ask students to explain why they think the ball they choose will bounce the highest or lowest.
After students are finished taking measurements, record their results on the chart in the appropriate column. Compare and contrast their results with their predictions. Ask students why they think some of the balls bounced higher or lower than others.
What other factors (besides elasticity and air pressure) do you think affect the bounce of a ball? Why? What would happen if you bounced the ball on a carpeted floor or on a grassy lawn?
In the video, Dr. Fontanella showed that spinning the ball changed the way it traveled. How do you think this effect might be used to your advantage?
How are potential energy, kinetic energy, and elastic potential energy related to a bouncing ball?
Explore how temperature can affect the bounce of each ball by measuring the bounce after placing the balls in a freezer for 30 minutes. Compare your results before and after freezing. Why did the cold affect the ball's ability to bounce? Explain how elasticity and air pressure are affected by temperature.
Cut a variety of sport balls in half and examine the composition of each ball from the inside. Is it hollow or composed of different materials or layers? How does the design of a ball on the inside affect its performance?
Assign each student to research the history of a specific ball sport. Have each student present how and why the design of the ball changed over time for each specific sport.

Prosecutors say a violent drug kingpin who had eluded capture for several years has turned himself in.
Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow says bail was set at $5 million for 31-year-old Luqman Abdullah of Elizabeth.
Authorities had been hunting for Abdullah since April 2009, when he ran from police who were trying to arrest him at an Edison mall. He also had been featured on the "America's Most Wanted" television show.
Romankow said Sunday that Abdullah turned himself in at the county sheriff's office on Friday. It's not known if he has retained an attorney.
Prosecutors say Abdullah led a network that brought millions of dollars in illegal drugs into New Jersey. He has an extensive criminal record, including convictions for shooting a rival drug dealer and other violent acts.

News, notes, quotes and observations Wednesday as the Raiders prepare to face the 49ers:
— Left guard Robert Gallery and running back Darren McFadden both made it back to the practice field after missing time with hamstring injuries, with Gallery looking the farther along of the two players, according to coach Tom Cable.
Gallery was injured in the season opener against Tennessee and missed the next four games. McFadden pulled up in the Houston game and did not play against San Diego.
While Cable said he was more optimistic about Gallery, he also thought McFadden could play.
"I think there's a good chance, I really do,'' Cable said. "We'll see how he feels tomorrow after this work today and if we're progressing and moving along I would expect we would have him Sunday.''
If McFadden were to be ready, it would probably be in a secondary role with Bush as the lead back, considering his injury status.
Being able to pair McFadden with Bush on occasion, put him in motion or put him in the slot, would cause the 49ers to adjust defensively and perhaps draw a defender out of the box to open up the run.
— Cable wouldn't commit to a hard-and-fast status of quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, but reading between the lines, it looks as if he'll sit this one out.
"They told me we would know something by tomorrow,'' Cable said. "We have a pretty good idea. Obviously he didn't practice today and I think he's pretty sore o we'll see what kind of progress we make in the next 24 hours."
Cable said he didn't yet know if Gradkowski, should he not start, would be the backup quarterback or No. 3, with Kyle Boller moving up temporarily to No. 2.
— Others who did not practice were DT John Henderson (stress fracture), WR Chaz Schilens (knee), LB Travis Goethel (lower back), LB Thomas Howard (knee) and RB Michael Bennett. Bennett has been sidelined by a hamstring injury and wasn't at practice Wednesday to be with his wife, who is having a baby.
Players who were limited aside from Gallery and McFadden were LB Quentin Groves, WR Johnnie Lee Higgins (knee) and CB Jeremy Ware (ankle).
— Free safety Michael Huff, whose sack of Philip Rivers forced the fumble that Tyvon Branch returned 64 yards for the game-clinching touchdown, was named the AFC defensive player of the week.
Huff finished with a career-high 11 tackles, surpassing his previous high of 10 in his rookie year on Nov. 19 against Kansas City.
— Player of the week honors aside, the Raiders defense has been torched for 947 yards in the last two games, giving up 249 yards rushing to the Houston Texans and 415 yards passing to the san Diego Chargers.
It's the most yardage the Raiders have given up in consecutive games since 1997, when they gave up 441 yards in a 28-25 win over Denver and 554 yards in a 45-34 loss to Seattle for a total if 995.
Note: Missed one in between. Raiders gave up 960 yards in back to back games in 2004, 527 to Tennessee and 433 to Kansas City on Dec. 19 and Dec. 25, respectively. Interesting thing _ all three times the Raiders were 1-1, rather than 0-2.
That defense achieved the almost unheard of NFL double of being last in the league against both the run and the pass, a rarity in that teams that gain yards on the ground don't often take to the air.
Although the Raiders were competitive against Houston and beat San Diego, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha wants the yardage figures to come down.
"When the yards get up to 400, 500 yards, almost 1,000 in two games, you don't want that,'' Asomugha said. "The fact that we won the game last week was good, and we almost won the Houston game, that's great, but as a defense we want to be much better, and that's our focus this week, is communication. In the coverage, if we're in a zone, getting the communication down and being able to play it much better than we have in the past."
— Asomugha had this to say about the role reversal which finds the 49ers being the team in turmoil for a change:
"It's different. It hasn't been that way since I've been here. It is a change of things. I don't know how they're handling it, but I know it's a difficult thing to handle."
— Bruce Davis said Wednesday afternoon he hadn't been summoned into the coaches offices for an official 49ers debriefing.
"Nothing like that, not yet anyway,'' Davis said.
Davis was claimed off the 49ers practice squad a week ago and was on three of the four special teams units against the Chargers. He said he built up some friendships during that time, and is surprised to see them at 0-5.
"They're much more dangerous than 0-5, especially offensively,'' Davis said."Frank Gore is one of the best in the business. Vernon Davis might be the best vertical threat tight end in the league.''
As excruciating as this sounds, Davis called San Francisco, "one of the best 0-5 teams I've ever heard of. Sometimes you're just a play or two away and that seems to be how it's happening over there.''
Davis said he's kept in contact with some of the 49ers, although not this week, and said,
"I think really highly of a lot of 'em. It'll be good to try and knock 'em around this week.''
— Bruce Campbell, the fourth-round draft pick from Maryland, has been given no indication he will get some time any time soon.
"Still waiting, basically,'' Campbell said. "Waiting for my opportunity, waiting for my chance.''
Campbell said he has still been exclusively a right guard, and hasn't been moved to any other spot.
Cable ordinarily has linemen learn or play another position to give the unit more versatility.
That could come soon. Cable said he's been impressed by Campbell's progress of late.
"I like what's going on with Bruce. I felt like the last two to three weeks he's starting to get it, he's starting to figure it out and he's starting to understand the tempo and violence it takes to play with,'' Cable said. "He's getting a better understanding of what he's doing. I like where he's headed.''

I love animation and animated movies, whether it's a good old Disney classic or a fresh, new film from an independent studio. I'm hoping that many of you feel the same way, and I have created this world to show my love for this amazing genre.
If anyone would like to join, I'd be happy to have you! PM me anytime or leave a comment on any world posts.
This world is for ALL animation types, which means (*pause for dramatic effect*) that anime is allowed (and accepted!). :D
Just a note that I follow several animation and fandom blogs on tumblr, which is where I get all these images and stuff from. And any fanart I post is NOT mine unless I specify that it is.
Recently, I've started posting reviews for animated movies as well. Go here to read them.
The Rules:
1. No hating/flaming. Even if it's not your favourite, it may be someone else's.
2. I encourage you to post, but keep things to a PG-13 rating. I hope this won't be a problem...
3. Fan art (yours and others) is totally allowed :D
4. Have fun!
A quick note: I'm a bit biased, I'll admit. I'll post tons of things about my favourite animated movies. But here's the good part: SO CAN YOU!

Minnesota Woman Sentenced For Bank Robbery
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A 23-year-old Minnesota woman accused of robbing five banks within a few weeks has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison.
Ranya Al-Huthaili of Roseville was sentenced Wednesday. She also was ordered to pay restitution to all the banks.
Al-Huthaili earlier pleaded guilty to robbing the Dairy State Bank in Menomonie, Wisconsin, on Sept. 9, 2013.
She also admitted robbing another bank in Wisconsin and three in Minnesota.
Prosecutors say in all five robberies, Al-Huthaili walked into the banks, handed the teller a note demanding money and took off with more than $20,000 in total.
She was arrested on the day of the Menomonie robbery outside Rosedale Shopping Center after buying a laptop with the stolen money.

MARKHAM, ON. (June 12, 2012) – Honda Canada will voluntarily recall approximately 12,587 model-year 2012 Civic vehicles in Canada to inspect and, if necessary, replace the left driveshaft. The left (driver's side) driveshaft in certain vehicles may not have been properly pressed into the CV joint during assembly, potentially allowing the two components to separate. If the driveshaft separates from the CV joint, the engine will no longer propel the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. No accidents or injuries have been reported related to this issue.
Honda Canada is announcing this recall to encourage owners of all affected vehicles to take their vehicles to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda Canada. Mailed notification to customers will begin in late-June 2012. In addition to contacting customers by mail, owners of these vehicles will be able to determine if their vehicles require repair by going on-line to www.honda.ca/recalls or by calling Honda Canada's Customer Relations Department at (888) 9HONDA9.
