Russ Lemmon: How many parents realize there's an age requirement for popular social-media sites?
Growing up, I used to listen to Chicago radio stations WLS (music) and WBBM (news). I still remember the public service announcement they ran many a night.
"It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?"
Ah, simpler times.
Parenting is a lot more complicated these days. The social media has completely changed the way children interact.
Your children could be engaging in dangerous activities while on the computers in their bedrooms. As you're watching television, your child might be communicating — via email or instant messaging — with a pedophile pretending to be someone else.
Be glad you're not a kid today. The "innocence" is gone by the time they turn 10.
Have you heard of Instagram? It's a photo-sharing program. Apps are available for smartphones.
Instagram, a relatively new addition to the Facebook empire, has more than 100 million registered users, and that number is growing by about 5 million each month.
I first heard about Instagram a few months ago. A woman told me she exchanges photos with her daughter, who is attending the University of Florida. They have a lot of fun doing so.
That's the "good" side of Instagram.
I recently had a father of an 11-year-old girl, who asked not to be identified because of the nature of the context, show me the "bad" side of Instagram. (The newspaper's policy is not to use anonymous sources, so he is not quoted.)
Like many of you, I've read stories about how preteen girls are growing up too fast these days. But I had no idea how fast until he showed me some Instagram profiles of some preteen girls in Indian River County.
The profile of a 9-year-old girl said she was "single" and "liked to have fun."
An 11-year-old girl was practically begging people to "follow" her. (For those who aren't tech savvy, "following" a person means you'll automatically receive everything they post.)
Her "followers" could be from anywhere around the globe. They could be any age.
News flash: Fake information abounds on the Internet. Someone could claim to be a 14-year-old girl when they're really a 38-year-old man.
One of the followers of the 11-year-old local girl referenced earlier has a user name that includes a vulgarity. In his profile picture, he's holding two guns. He looks like he's 16 or 17 and claims to be from Memphis, Tenn.
I have no idea if they've ever communicated, but let's hope not. As they used to say when I was a kid, the guy looks like he's "bad news."
Never mind Instagram's policy states you must be 13 to open an account.
Officials at Instagram were not available for comment.
Philippe Gonzalez, the founder of Instagramers.com (self-described as the website for "Instagram addicts" but not affiliated with Instagram), said enforcing the age 13 requirement simply isn't practical.
"It's really impossible today for any Internet company to confirm (the) age (of) a user," he said. "(Especially) when all laws are going against 'cookies use' and 'profile privacy control.' An Internet platform is not allowed to register and keep some kind of profile information and behaviors of users, so asking a name and asking an age could go against the law itself in certain countries."
In the United States, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act is designed to protect children under age 13. However, let's be real: Protecting children in the era of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest is a tall order.
Melody McCabe, the mother of a 14-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, says what she saw on Instagram gave her pause.
"I thought I knew a lot ..." she said.
McCade says when her daughter was in fourth grade, she wanted a Barbie Dream House. Now, she can't get enough of the website Pinterest, which is basically a digital bulletin board. (A description from the Pinterest website: "A content-sharing service that allows members to 'pin' images, videos and other objects to their pinboard.")
Wouldn't you know when I looked at Pinterest to double-check something, there was a photo of a tall, preteen girl in short shorts? It looked like a modeling photo.
What was the first comment posted underneath? "What a 'lil hottie."
The Internet has been called a sexual predator's playground because of all the provocative shots — intentionally or unintentionally provocative — that people have willingly posted online.
Granted, the vast majority of photos on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook are nonsexual in nature. However, it won't take you long to find one that's sexually provocative — be it from men, women, boys or girls.
Back in October, in its weekly update for parents, St. Edward's School reminded parents about the age restriction for social media sites.
"Sometimes young students have difficulty understanding the dangers involved in putting personal information online," the newsletter stated. "Although our students have been educated about these dangers by the school and their parents, they don't always make good choices. It's imperative for adults to be informed about how to stay safe and keep your children safe while using technology."Good advice.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb baseball team continues home action this weekend taking on Siena in a non-conference, three-game series on Saturday and Sunday at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in Nashville.
Both teams head into the three-game set looking to pick up some momentum as conference play quickly approaches. Siena (1-10) heads to the "Music City" from Loudonville, N.Y., having played all 11 games so far on the road and the Saints will not open home play March 28.
"We have a series this weekend that both teams need to play well and get their seasons back on track as far as what's happened in the first quarter of it," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "We're looking forward to this weekend. We feel like we've played really well and haven't come up with any victories here in the last few games."
Saturday features a doubleheader between the Bison (4-10) and the Saints beginning at Noon. Lipscomb will send senior righty Connor Sinclair (1-1, 2.00 ERA) to the hill in the opener to face Siena's Ryan Poplawski (0-3, 7.36 ERA) a southpaw. Lipscomb junior lefty Blake Fonfara (0-2, 5.40 ERA) gets the nod in the nightcap for the Bison to go up against righty Justin Brantley (0-2, 5.29 ERA).
Sunday's contest will see Lipscomb junior righthander Josh Cotham (0-1, 2.41 ERA) take on lefty Matt Gage (0-0, 5.06 ERA).
Junior right fielder Lee Wilson continues to pace Lipscomb in hitting with a .393 average at the plate that ranks 11th best in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Senior infielder Zak Messer has been the power threat for the Bison early on leading the team with three homers and eight doubles, a figure that ranks tied for seventh nationally.

Mountain States Hospice to offer grief support group
Mountain States Hospice will offer a grief support group this summer from June 15 to July 20. The group will meet every Wednesday from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the Health Resources Center in the Johnson City Mall.
The group is open to anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. Sessions will be led by professional bereavement counselors and will cover healthy ways of expressing grief, coping skills and finding closure.
"Everybody progresses through the grief process in his or her own way and in his or her own time," said Brian Jones, director of Mountain States Hospice. "Sometimes well-intentioned family members will tell you it's time to move on, but if you haven't worked through the grief process, you're not ready to do that. There is no cookie-cutter philosophy that works for everybody."
This support group will offer participants a chance to work through their grief in a non-judgmental setting. Participants will not be required to share their stories or openly express their feelings, but they will have the opportunity to do so if they wish.
"I think most importantly, it offers the opportunity to normalize their feelings and to share them, knowing that they are not alone," Jones said. "They will see other people who are experiencing those same feelings, and they will be reassured that it's a normal part of the grieving process."
There is no charge to participate, and the group is open to anyone in the community who has lost a loved one. For more information, call 423-431-6146.

The world's second-largest economy grew 7.6 percent in the first six months of 2013 from a year earlier.
China's annual economic growth slowed to 7.5 percent in the second quarter of 2013 from 7.7 percent - the second straight quarter of slower growth, official data showed on Monday.
The Q2 number, announced by the National Bureau of Statistics, was in line with market expectations in a Reuters poll.
Many investors were primed for a downside surprise versus the consensus, especially after dismal trade data published by the customs last week.
The world's second-largest economy grew 7.6 percent in the first six months of 2013 from a year earlier.
Other data released alongside GDP showed industrial output grew 8.9 percent in June from a year ago, versus expectations of 9.1 percent showed in the Reuters poll. Retail sales in June rose 13.3 percent on a year ago versus an expected 12.9 percent.
Fixed-asset investment grew 20.1 percent in the first half from a year earlier, versus an expected 20.2 percent.

Dr. James Nero's Ratings
On first impression Dr. Nero seems pleasant and knowledgeable, but like his office perhaps his techniques are a bit antiquated. After my experience I will never go back. I waited an hour and fifteen minutes past my appointment time before I was seen to. After my adjustment I felt very sore. He was rough. The adjustment was a painful "snap" and not the gentle "crack" I have had with other chiropractors. The next day the pain was worse than before I had been adjusted. The pain has been steadily increasing and I have been in tears because I can't find relief. Subsequently I am now missing time from work.

I had major back issues that Dr James Nero fixed over a period of time. I am now 100% I also had tendentious that 2 doctors plus 2 Physio therapist said i would have to live with it for the rest of my life. I mentioned this years later when i met Dr Nero and he took my tendentious away in 2 short simple sessions. He asked me if i was pulling a heavy object when the tendentious began. I said Yes, He new immediately what to do and worked his magic. I am now 100% once again Don't waste your money on anyone else, he has magic powers and will heal you right up!

SPC Justin James knew he'd be apart from his wife Kimberlee when she was scheduled to deliver their first child. The birth was to be around Nov. 19 and he was only a few weeks into his second deployment in Kandahar, Afghanistan. But he had an idea: the USO in Kandahar facilitated video chats so maybe they could do a video chat for the birth?
SPC James took this idea to USO Kandahar programs coordinator Sarah Kemp and from there, it became a team effort to make it a reality. Sarah said that SPC James's request was a first for USO Kandahar, but another birth had been visually connected at Camp Buehring in Kuwait.
So Sarah worked with USO director of information technology Valerie Donegan in Arlington, Va., and its network provider, Segovia, to open enough bandwidth to Skype the event and to troubleshoot any technical issues. With the logistics in place, the waiting game began.
As the Nov. 19 due date approached and passed, the USO staff was on high alert for their expecting soldier. Then the call came in on Nov. 21 to Sarah while she was at dinner. SPC James said Kimberlee was heading to the hospital and that he'd be coming to the center.
"I got extremely excited," Sarah wrote in an email from Kandahar. "Then he didn't show until about 10 p.m. Those hours of waiting to see if he would come in or if something had gone wrong were excruciating.SPC James does not have a cell phone, so I could not contact him. (He had borrowed a friend's to make the initial call.) Finally, when he walked in, he was a nervous wreck."
Sarah and her coworker Cindy Glenn placed him in an office for privacy. Time ticked along and soon it was 1 a.m. The center closed down for the night leaving just the three of them. Cindy ran out for gyros to keep the three-person crew fueled and they waited. But not calmly.
From there, Sarah describes what happened:
"I wanted to give SPC James his privacy, but I was in the office next door on pins and needles. I intended to do work, but couldn't because I was so excited! It ended up his wife had to have an emergency C-section. When I heard the baby cries in the office next door I cheered! Then Cindy and I waited until SPC James came into the office and said, 'Do you guys want to see her?' I responded with a resounding, YES!!!! We got to see the brand new baby and mother. I gave SPC James a pair of baby socks. He then stayed on for a little while longer to make sure his wife was okay after the surgery. He was so extremely thankful and so were his wife and her mother."
SPC James will get to meet Rylee Deann James in person when he heads back to Fort Worth, Texas, in February.

By continuing to go green in its cleanup efforts, the City of Borger is hoping to save its customers a little green in the process.
The city has accepted 72 green lawn waste dumpsters to augment those that are already in service.
Jason Anderson, who is the city's solid waste collection supervisor, said the dumpsters will be used to help divert lawn waste from the landfill, which will reduce the overall cost of solid waste service.
The Hutchinson County Hospital District Board of Directors board will meet this evening.
The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tonight in the executive board room of Golden Plains Community Hospital.
Under old business, the board plans to act on subsidies for the Stinnett and Fritch EMS groups and follow-up, an 1115 Waiver, the THA Trustee Conference (update) and the Medical Office Building (update).
The board also will act on a Fritch EMS report for March 2012, raising the indigent care qualifying income level to 200 percent federal poverty level, and recommended future agenda items.

Here's a recent interview I did with Organic Beats.

New Mind, New Frontiers
We are now at a time when the possibilities are truly endless. Technology continues to advance unabated, old institutions disintegrate on a daily basis and quantum physics is completely reshaping our understanding of the Universe.
Looking at the tools available to us I can't help but get excited at what lies ahead for the adventurous, creative types of this world. At this point, I believe limits are a thing of the past, a word to be discarded from the modern vocabulary altogether.
So you have to ask yourself what's holding you back from getting where you want to be and doing what you want to do?
I've asked myself that question a few times and the answer that continually pops up is me, myself and I or, more accurately, my mind.
Now please bear with me as I go slightly off track….
I've been away from music since 2008 living in Zombieland (the world of the 9-5) and have battled and reasoned with my thoughts on why the music biz failed me, why I'm better off without it and why shit sells and good music goes unnoticed. Then around mid 2010 I stopped and told myself I was a miserable, ungrateful so and so (language toned down for purposes of decency) and that music didn't owe me a thing. Infact it was me who was in debt to music for its immense contribution to my life.
It was then I stopped my contrary whining and altered my viewpoint on everything.
I looked for the positive in every situation
Never played the victim role again
Took control of my life and my decisions
Sought to find myself and get comfortable with who I was/am
Dedicated my free time to creative pursuits
There's a few more things I changed but that's for another discussion and another time. Basically I did a 180 degree turn on life. Now 3 years later I have hard drives filled with new music
I'm working with a handful of quality labels with passionate music lovers at the helm such as:-
Disko 404
Phuture Shock Music
Naked Lunch
Teng Records
I have a live/dj setup that I can take anywhere in the world and decimate any dancefloor with (that's big talk I know but my morning porridge has me really fired up!!!!)
On top of that I'm in a really good place in life where I've finally made peace with who I am and who I'm not and I'm able to appreciate the wonderful people I have in my life, the opportunities that come my way and also the contribution that I can make to music.
When you want something deep, quirky, and somewhat unique, that's where my music comes in. I won't surpass David Guetta's last album sales, although that would be a great help, but I will enjoy making tiny ripples in the creative hotbed of Underground Music and I'm finally OK with that.
Now what's stopping you from doing your own thing right now, today, this minute???
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

My Thoughts
Positively Contribute
Like it or hate it downloading music for free is the current normal modus operandi for so many and is not something that seems to be going away or changing anytime soon. That said, I won't waste my time and energy fighting against the music lovers out there who get their music fix this way.
I'm happy to look into ways of improving the channels we use to grant music lovers access to what we artists create and to make it easier for those who derive enjoyment to return some aspect of value to the original creator of that piece of art, but to criminalize 99% of the music consuming public is not an idea I wish to entertain.
However, If you download my music for free and you derive some enjoyment from it, it is fantastic that you like the music (did I seriously use the word fantastic in public???) but I ask that you find a away to positively give back to those artists and music labels who make and release the music you so enjoy.
Let's not forget there are people putting their heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into making this music and for the listener to return a token of appreciation allows this process of creation to continue, meaning creative expression doesn't have to disappear.
Do continue loving this music, keep dancing to it, keep playing it because the bottom line is it is created for the sole purpose of enjoyment but it can't continue without you, the listener, contributing to the cause in a positive, tangible manner.
"Without music, life would be a mistake."
-Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

A strong winter storm brought more heavy snowfall to the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes on Thursday, while showers and thunderstorms continued moving through the Southeast.
The strong low pressure system that brought blizzard conditions to the Plains this week made its way into the Upper Midwest. Snowfall totals across Minnesota reached nearly a foot in some locations of southwestern Minnesota, with most of Wisconsin and South and North Dakotas seeing snowfall totals range from 2 to 6 inches. Strong winds accompanied this system with gusts from 55 to 65 mph.
Winter weather advisories have been issued over the region, with an ice storm warning issued for southern Minnesota and eastern Wisconsin as freezing rain created ice accumulation up to a quarter of an inch. A strong cold front extended southward from this system and slid eastward from the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys.
Warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico streamed northward from this system and allowed for showers and thunderstorms to pop up from Louisiana through the Ohio River Valley. Some of these storms turned severe along the Gulf states.
Multiple tornadoes have been reported across Mississippi and Alabama, with multiple reports of strong and damaging winds across the region. Heavy rainfall developed in association with these storms, with totals over 3 inches in some areas. Heaviest rainfall was reported at Oxford, Miss., with a midday totals of 4.01 inches.
HIGHEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F).........................90 Gainesville, Fla.
HIGHEST HEAT INDEX (DEGREES F)..........................95 Tampa Macdill AFB, Fla.
LOWEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F)..........................1 Torrington, Wyo.
LOWEST WIND CHILL (DEGREES F)...........................-39 Nuiqsut, Alaska
HIGHEST WIND GUST (MPH).................................62 Barter Island, Alaska
HIGHEST PRECIPITATION (INCHES)..........................4.01 Oxford, Miss.
ON THIS DATE....... On this date in 1987, severe flooding throughout the northeastern portion of the country finally began to subside. Snow melt from intense rainfall only made the flooding worse as damage estimates ran into the billions. Ten people were killed when a New York State Thruway bridge gave way to the flooding.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Was Bryce Brentz resigned to the possibility that his season was over upon undergoing significant surgery to his right knee? A rollover-and-surrender attitude wouldnŌĆÖt fit the PawSox outfielderŌĆÖs hard-charging persona now, would it?
That said, the power hitter is a realist and understands the slippery slope that comes with accelerating the rehab timetable in order to return to the field this season.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm trying to get back as soon as possible, but weŌĆÖll just have to wait and see,ŌĆØ said Brentz when reached earlier this week in Fort Myers, Fla., his days consumed with restoring strength to the torn meniscus that was operated on July 16. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think IŌĆÖll be back by the end of (PawtucketŌĆÖs regular season). It depends on how much the organization wants me to do as far as rehab, how many games they want me to play before rejoining (the Triple-A ranks).ŌĆØ
Brentz saw his 2013 season possibly go up in smoke the moment he slid awkwardly into second base during PawtucketŌĆÖs July 5 contest at Rochester.
ŌĆ£There was a groundball hit to third base. I was on first base and (the Red Wings) were trying to turn two,ŌĆØ Brentz recalled. ŌĆ£I was trying to break up the double play... IŌĆÖm not trying to cause anybody an injury or whatever. I slid a little bit later than normal and my back foot got stuck.
ŌĆ£In my mind, I was thinking that I was going to slide through the bag, but I ended up doing a pop-up slide,ŌĆØ added Brentz. ŌĆ£When I did that, I did feel a pop on my right side. I tried my best to get off the field as soon as possible. After the second day of ice and treatment, it was determined that something wasnŌĆÖt right.
ŌĆ£Surgery was the only option.ŌĆØ
Originally, Brentz was supposed to get operated on a few days following his on-field setback. The date of the surgery to repair the first significant baseball injury of his pro career was pushed back so that the 24-year-old could ward off the effects of food poisoning.
ŌĆ£I couldnŌĆÖt hold any chow down, so they said they couldnŌĆÖt operate on me in my condition,ŌĆØ said Brentz.
After a cooling-off period that encompassed 4-5 days, Brentz received clearance to have a surgery that came with a recovery time of 4-6 weeks. The procedure was performed in Boston.
ŌĆ£If youŌĆÖre ever going to do something to your knee that requires surgery, you have to do the right thing. Luckily it wasnŌĆÖt an ACL,ŌĆØ Brentz. ŌĆ£Every ballplayer wants to come back as quick as possible and think that theyŌĆÖre good to go. Once you get in a game, itŌĆÖs different. You can test it out 1-on-1 with a trainer, but itŌĆÖs not game speed and you run the risk of having a setback.ŌĆØ
Shifting gears to the road to recovery, Brentz says that the program the Red Sox prescribed has allowed him to move past the frustration stage. The fact that heŌĆÖs been able to lift weights and perform squats free and easy some two-and-a-half weeks following surgery has him upbeat.
ŌĆ£Every day IŌĆÖm asking the trainer, ŌĆśWhat can I do next?ŌĆÖ I want my next exercise to be as hard as possible. If thereŌĆÖs something I canŌĆÖt do, IŌĆÖll back off. I havenŌĆÖt had to do that yet,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm trying to get back as soon as possible, but I donŌĆÖt want to do anything thatŌĆÖs forced.ŌĆØ
Asked if he has a general sense of when he might be permitted to do baseball-related activities, Brentz said, ŌĆ£I havenŌĆÖt asked that question. Right now, weŌĆÖre talking about building strength back in the leg, especially in the quad areas, before we can test it out on the field. Playing catch and swinging a bat is not a big deal right now.ŌĆØ
Brentz does have an inkling of the kind of tests heŌĆÖll have to pass on the diamond before the Red Sox permit him to go on a rehab assignment.
ŌĆ£The things weŌĆÖre going to have to save for last are those quick fire motions on the base paths or going back for a fly ball,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre making good progress. We havenŌĆÖt had any bumps in the road.ŌĆØ
ItŌĆÖs been a roller coaster of a calendar year for Brentz, who saw his invitation to big-league spring training revoked after he accidentally shot himself in the leg in January. Though the specific incident was not mentioned, the 2010 sandwich pick took the opportunity to once again state that he regrets what took place.
ŌĆ£Rule No. 1, you always respect your firearms because you read all the time about people having accidents and how sad it is,ŌĆØ Brentz said. ŌĆ£I was eligible to get my carrying license from the state of Tennessee after taking some classes.
ŌĆ£You have that one moment where you get comfortable and forget that, ŌĆśOh my God, this thing can hurt you,ŌĆÖŌĆØ continued Brentz. ŌĆ£I lost respect for my firearm ŌĆ" it was the same one that I had for a while. People make mistakes. I was embarrassed and very sorry that I put myself, my family and the Red Sox in that situation, but I came back healthy.ŌĆØ
With the gun incident behind him, Brentz entered the season with one clear-cut objective ŌĆō place himself in a position that would result in Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina informing him that he was off to Boston and the major leagues for the first time in his pro odyssey.
A ŌĆ£serious knot in my throwing shoulderŌĆØ limited Brentz to DH duties for a stretch in June. He still leads the PawSox in home runs (16) and RBI (53) despite not playing in nearly a month. In 75 games, he was hitting .272 while slugging at a .487 clip.
ŌĆ£In the past, IŌĆÖve been known to be streaky. This year I didnŌĆÖt see much of a difference, which I appreciate,ŌĆØ Brentz said. ŌĆ£As rocky as it was off the field before spring training, I feel like everyone has moved on.ŌĆØ
Brentz doesnŌĆÖt see cause for alarm despite drawing 19 walks in 300-plus plate appearances.
ŌĆ£One day I had a talk with (ex-Red Sox outfielder) Dwight Evans and (PawSox hitting coach) Dave Joppie. We didnŌĆÖt see results right away, but eventually I started to see more pitches per at-bat,ŌĆØ he pointed out. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm never going to be a work-the-count kind of guy, but IŌĆÖm staying back and not getting fooled on off-speed pitches as often. I think that goes a long way and you need to build on it.

Looking ahead, Brentz is a candidate to be added to BostonŌĆÖs 40-man roster this offseason. Otherwise, the organization risks losing him to the Rule 5 draft that will take place at this DecemberŌĆÖs MLB Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
ŌĆ£You can sit there and wonder if this could have happened if I hadnŌĆÖt gotten hurt. ItŌĆÖs bad given the timing of the injury, though itŌĆÖs never a good time to get hurt,ŌĆØ Brentz said.

ŌĆ£I still have to get my work in. ItŌĆÖs just not with the boys in Pawtucket,ŌĆØ said Brentz. ŌĆ£Hopefully I can join the team and we are in the playoffs and get some more games. WeŌĆÖll see what happens.ŌĆØ

FINAL: Rangers 3 Devils 2
Adam's Thoughts:
- The Rangers had a goal from a defenseman, a secondary scorer and a primary scorer. They aren't going to lose many games when they get that combination of scoring.
- Tonight reminded me of how the Rangers had played in the second game of back to backs in previous seasons. They didn't look tired as they have in other back to backs this season and it was mostly a continuation of the second and third period last night.
- Michael Del Zotto has excellent hand-eye coordination and is creating chances.
- The reaction of Rick Nash when he scored and Henrik Lundqvist when the game ended was one of relief and excitement. It's now two in a row and are starting to look like they understand the position their inconsistencies this season have put them in.

Working with the Family Reading Partnership (familyreading.org), a small literacy nonprofit in Ithaca, N.Y., we hatched a simple plan with a far-flung goal: to foster a generation of readers.
Our idea was to put a million books at the foot of a million beds for a million children on Christmas morning.
This very simple idea spread out from this column to parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, writers, readers — and those who love them.
My column about inspiring people to help create a nation of young readers and imaginative thinkers was clipped and pinned on bulletin boards and copied and sent home with kids in their backpacks.
By January, when I counted up the enthusiastic responses to this campaign, it seemed we might have actually reached our lofty goal.
Unfortunately, statistics on reading and literacy are alarming: Less than half of young children in this country are read to regularly and a large percentage of American families report that they have no children's books in the home.
Introducing books and reading very early in life will write indelibly on a child's future. Here's how it works:
Take a book.
Wrap it.
Place it on a child's bed so it's the first thing the child sees on Christmas morning (or whatever holiday you celebrate).
That's it.
This is not a fundraising appeal. This is not about selling or buying books (the book you give can be passed down).
"A Book on Every Bed" is an appeal to spread the love of reading from parents to children. We also want to encourage families to share books by reading aloud.
Santa brings a Pulitzer: This idea was inspired by one of the country's favorite writers. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough (author of "John Adams" and many other histories) says that every Christmas morning during his childhood, he woke up to a wrapped book at the foot of his bed, left by Santa.
McCullough's children (and now grandchildren) are also recipients of this literary largesse, creating a wonderful Christmas tradition, as well as a legacy of literacy to be passed down through the family.
Mr. McCullough endorsed our effort: "There are few things that start the day off better, and especially on Christmas, than discovering a new book at the foot of your bed.
"I think my love of books began on Christmas mornings long ago and the love has never gone stale."
Real-life stories: I've heard from many readers who were inspired to put a book on a bed.
My favorite was from teacher Tammi Mueller: "I teach first grade in a rural school in my hometown of Riceville, Iowa. Our school is small and struggling to make ends meet, but the kids we teach are fantastic and only deserve the best.
"I am the only first-grade teacher, with 24 first-graders.
"The best thing about my job is teaching kids to not only read, but to love at least one book."

However, if it's executed in a sub-shell, such as in result=`func` it will not exit the script. This means the calling code has to check the exit status of the function every time. Is there a way to avoid this? Is this what set -e is for? (HowTos)

Riad, 30 July (AKI) – A Saudi court has sentenced a chemistry professor to 600 lashes and 8 months in jail for a 'telephone relationship' with a female student.
The student, whose marriage allegedly broke down as result of the relationship got 350 lashes and 4 months in prison.
The academic, who worked in a teaching hospital in the south of the country was convicted on the basis of the student's husband's testimony, according to Arabic satellite TV station Al-Arabiya.
The student's husband claimed his marriage broke down in 2004 as a result of his wife's relationship with the academic, who has said he will appeal the sentences at the Supreme Council of Magistrates.

Barron's ranks marketing grad as one of nation's top financial advisers
By Rebecca Dienger
Barron's magazine has ranked marketing graduate Andrew Burish '81 as one of the nation's top financial advisers.
Andrew Burish is one of the nation's top financial advisers and one of the most tenacious. He has made his fortune on the premise that with risk comes reward. This man happens to know a little bit about personal risk taking.
In 2008 Burish shot a black bear that was charging him. The animal had been within 50 yards of him all day. Burish held back before he finally called the bear's bluff. The two were about two feet apart when he pulled the trigger.
Burish also had belonged to a boxing club for sport and fitness, and he raced on the UW-Eau Claire downhill ski team. But the biggest risk he probably ever took in life was going to college. And it has been richly rewarding.
"I didn't have the background or familiarity with college, so I was not prepared," said Burish, a 1981 marketing graduate of UW-Eau Claire. "I was the first person in my family to attend college."
In fact, Burish's father never even graduated from high school. His parents came from large families with small incomes. College had never entered his mind. As a high school senior he was headed to a job in construction or an area factory. The turning point was purely happenstance.
"I saw kids filling out college applications in the high school commons and wondered what they were doing," Burish said.
His business teacher told him he would do well in college and encouraged him to apply. He was accepted but had some catching up to do. In order to graduate in four years he had to attend classes all year long.
In addition to his studies, Burish worked up to 25 hours a week at The Boston, a men's clothing store in Eau Claire, to pay his way through college. He repeatedly won sales competitions, besting full-time employees. He attributed this to a great work ethic. It would become a lifelong routine to compete against others in his field but a lifetime passion to challenge only himself.
"I didn't party, go on spring break or attend any games because I was too busy working and studying," Burish said. "I probably should have, but I just didn't have time."
In the beginning, math was a challenging subject for him, but he was not deterred. To brush up on his skills, he audited his first math classes before taking them for credit and constantly sought the help of tutors.
As a freshman Burish began subscribing to The Wall Street Journal, and in his junior year he took a course in which he was required to read BusinessWeek magazine. From this he developed a keen interest in the capital markets, accounting and finance.
"I was always motivated by the desire to make money," Burish admitted. "I grew up in a working-class neighborhood with modest family incomes, but I always wanted more for myself and my family. In order to get ahead I realized I had to get that college degree. I had a strong Catholic upbringing, so it was impressed upon me that how you made your money was as important as how much you made."
Financial services was an obvious fit. During the 1981-82 recession, when the unemployment rate hovered above 12 percent, he went on to earn a master's degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance and marketing from UW-Whitewater. In 1982 he accepted a job offer from UBS, a private wealth management company formerly known as Union Bank of Switzerland. He headed to Madison ready to take on the world.
"I came with nothing, so I figured why not give it everything I have?" Burish said. "I had nothing to lose."
Within 12 years at UBS he had reached a pinnacle: the Chairman's Council, which recognizes the top advisers in the firm. But Burish had much higher expectations of himself. He wanted to be a top adviser in the industry, a level of excellence commonly attainable only by advisers from much larger markets, and he intended to do this from Madison.
In 1990 his vision included a large investment in people, technology and promotion. In a business where people rarely put their own money on the line, Burish invested everything he owned — which involved mortgaging his house several times — to build and grow his team, The Burish Group.
"Early in my career a lot of my peers made negative comments in front of me and behind my back," Burish recalled. "I was well aware that they thought I would fail."
This was before computers, the Internet and cell phones were widely used. It turns out he was on the cutting edge. As technology took off, Burish had the right people in place. It may have looked like luck to those naysayers but only because he made it look easy.
"I told my wife my business was either going to take off like a rocket or blow up on the launch pad because I had that much fuel behind my vision," Burish said.
Today, he controls approximately $1.5 billion in individual investors' assets and brings in upwards of $10 million a year for UBS and his team. He has one of the biggest teams for individual investors in the country, with 25 full-time employees and clients all over the world. For four years in a row Burish ranked among the top 50 out of 250,000 financial advisers in the U.S., according to Barron's, the oldest and most prestigious finance journal for investors worldwide. The publication once profiled Burish, stating that "his willingness to use new strategies has kept him ahead of the pack."
Burish also is perennially entrenched at the top for the state of Wisconsin, consistently ranking No. 1. His specialty is managing the wealth of individuals. Within UBS, one of the world's largest wealth management firms, he was outranked in 2009 by only one other — an adviser from the New York market area.
While he has always been willing to take his own risks, Burish is not one to take chances with his clients. His investment strategies for others are conservative and profitable.
Burish is quick to point out that he didn't make this juggernaut alone. There were other factors influencing his journey and premeditating his success. At The Boston, he was constantly in contact with businessmen, doctors and other professionals, helping them select fine apparel. He honed his social graces on the job and learned how to properly present himself: well-tailored and polished despite his blue-collar roots. Burish may have been young, but because of this he commanded respect from people twice his age when he entered the business world.
Although he didn't realize it at the time, his father — a traveling garment salesman — was his first teacher. Burish would accompany him as a youth on his breaks from school. From this he learned to sell, but, more importantly, Burish said, he picked up the skill of "reading" people to better understand their needs.
"People will say, 'Andy doesn't have another life,'" Burish said. "I didn't have a lot of hobbies when I was 20, and I don't have a lot of them now. But that's because I love what I do."
Burish said he is not thinking about retiring any time soon. As successful as he is, he says he still has work to do, and he wants to spend some time giving back.
"It's important to be charitable," he said.
Burish and his wife, Anna, have given away more than a half-million dollars in recent years.
"My wife and I are just getting started on our philanthropy," he said. "We believe in helping others."
They give generously to the United Way and to Burish's alma maters. He is on the Donor Base and Investment committees for UW-Eau Claire and serves in a similar capacity at UW-Whitewater, where he is chairman of the investment committee for its foundation.
"My wife and I concentrate on helping first-generation students like us," Burish said. "We know the value of the education they might not otherwise attain."
His advice to students is to be willing to take risks that other people won't take, to challenge themselves and to invest in themselves, advice he also gives his own child. The Burishes have one daughter, Raquel, age 17, who is currently applying to colleges. She wants to be an actress.
Burish's hope for her is that she is happy in the field she chooses. But he has advised her to always have a backup plan. She'll be pursuing degrees in both theater and finance.
"I had other interests to pursue if I wasn't successful doing this," he said. "You don't have to get rich, but you want to be able to make a living at what you like to do. I want her to do the best she can."
Burish has indeed reaped the rewards available to those who take risks, but he always understood the risks he was taking, calling them "calculated risks," and, just like in boxing, he got up each time he was knocked down.
"When your name is on the door and you could lose everything you've worked for, you work a lot harder than the next guy."

No. 1 in Minnesota
Peter Eckerline
Peter Eckerline has had a few doors slammed in his face. Shortly after receiving his master of business administration degree from UW-Eau Claire in 1983, he took a job selling peepholes door to door.
It may not have been a glamorous start for the future financier, but the job gave him the sales experience he needed. It also provided flexibility so he could help his mother and spend time with her before she succumbed to cancer. The time was short but well-spent.
Within six months, Eckerline became a certified financial manager for Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management in Wayzata, Minn. The same commitment and resilience he practiced as a salesman quickly earned him the respect and trust of his clients.
Today, he leads the Eckerline, Bencini and Boyd Group as managing director of investments. He's been ranked the No. 1 financial adviser in Minnesota multiple times by Barron's magazine, a prestigious weekly business publication for investors, and has been included in its ranking of the top 100 financial advisers in the country. He's also been ranked the No. 1 wealth adviser since 2005 by the Twin Cities Business Journal.
"I have always enjoyed helping people achieve their goals," Eckerline said. "As a financial adviser, I get to know my clients on a very personal level, and my strong, trusting client relationships are what I am most proud of. Many of my clients truly are good friends of mine, and I'm lucky to have such a great group of people in my life."
Eckerline received his undergraduate degree in business administration from UW-Eau Claire in 1982 and was a member of the track and field team, competing in race walking.
"I made a lot of great friends during my time in Eau Claire and am still in touch with many of them today," Eckerline said, noting that he has particularly fond memories of his coaches, Bill Meiser and Keith Daniels, and the chancellor at the time, Leonard Haas.
In 2004 Eckerline was honored with the UW-Eau Claire Alumni Association's President's Award, which recognizes outstanding professional and personal achievements and service to UW-Eau Claire.
Eckerline is involved in many business and community organizations, including Opportunity Partners, an organization that provides education services, employment and housing to people with disabilities and other special needs. He serves on the steering committee for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and is president of the Wayzata Country Club.
He and his wife, Martha, are particularly devoted to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Minneapolis. They recently received the group's Imagine Award for their ongoing generosity and will be recognized at the JDRF's annual fundraising event, the Imagination Ball, on Oct. 2. They have been ardent supporters since their niece's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Eckerline reports that she is doing well but that his family looks forward to the day she is no longer dependent on insulin.
The Eckerlines live in Wayzata with their three children, McKenna, Taylor and Daniel. Eckerline would love to hear from old UW-Eau Claire friends and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

MASSENA - A Hogansburg man faces several charges after he allegedly took his girlfriends vehicle following an argument while she was inside a store using the bathroom.
Massena-based state police charged Charles A. Cook, 41, of 48 Laughing Road, with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and petit larceny, operation of his vehicle outside restrictions requiring him to have an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he operated and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle stemming from an incident that took place at approximately 8 p.m. Saturday.
He allegedly took a 2004 vehicle belonging to his girlfriend, Cary Bero, without her permission while she was inside the Mobil gas station Saturday night in the town of Massena. The petit larceny count alleges Cook threw Ms. Beros cell phone out of the vehicle a few minutes earlier while they were on state Route 37.
Cook was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and released under the supervision of the probation department. The court also signed a temporary order of protection directing him not to harass, annoy or alarm Ms. Bero.
She told troopers she had not given Cook permission to take her vehicle when she stopped at the Mobil station on Route 37 to use the bathroom as they were returning home after picking up a car part in Massena.
Prior to this incident, Charles has been acting weird lately. When I came back out, the car was gone. Charles does not have a license. At no time did I give him permission to take my car. Charles also threw my cell phone out of the window before we got to the gas station. I dont know why he did that, she said, noting in her statement to police that her Blackberry was valued at approximately $200.
Cook, in his statement to police, admitted she had taken his girlfriends vehicle. While Cary was inside (the Mobil station), I got into the drivers seat and drive away. I drive directly to a friends house on Cook Road and stayed there all night, he said, noting he was woken up at 9:15 a.m. Sunday by a tribal police officer investigating a stolen vehicle complaint, taken into custody and turned over to state police.
But Cook, in his statement, denied damaging Ms. Beros cell phone. He claimed she grabbed his cell phone out of his hands and threw it out the passenger window and then threw her own cell phone out that same window.
We were arguing over text messages I received from my ex-wife in reference to my children I have with my ex-wife. Cary thinks I am trying to get back with my ex-wife, he said in his statement.

RIYADH — A terror cell, formed inside a prison by a detainee involved in terrorist cases, was busted according to an Arabic daily quoting authentic sources.
The cell includes several militants. Some have been arrested for security reasons while others are being tried for their involvement in former terrorist operations, Al-Riyadh Arabic daily reported Friday.
Information indicates that the cell members communicated with each other while in prison wards and sections, intending to carry out suspicious and evil deeds despite their detention.
This reveals the deep-rooted evil inclination of the detainees and their zest to carry out crimes even after their arrests.
This criminal cell was planning secretly to carry out "military" acts of sabotage against the United States and its interests after its members are released from prison.
The detained persons were planning from within the prison to target oil installations in the Kingdom and kidnap a number of foreigners residing in the Kingdom, after their release.
Al-Riyadh has learnt that the elements of this cell received training inside prison by one of the detained militants on methods of military tactics, security matters and information.
This was with the intention of carrying out acts of sabotage of military nature within the Kingdom and abroad. They planned to carry this out when they are freed.
The authorities have accused one of the cell members — currently detained — of receiving smuggled messages in the prison and distributing it secretly to several detained militants.
The messages called for adopting Al-Qaeda ideology including an article entitled "Bin Laden and the oil weapon." He handed it over to one of the accused, who in turn published its contents in one of the organization's e-magazine.
Investigations revealed great activity among these elements in exchanging information in order to achieve their goals, including boosting the information aspect for the organization before their arrest.
This included one of them passing information to the information in-charge for Al-Qaeda in the Kingdom indicating the presence of foreign officials and security officers in one of the big hotels in Jeddah with the intention of targeting them.
Before their arrest, several of these elements supported Al-Qaeda by providing them information. They represented the information front for Al-Qaeda in the Kingdom by publishing its statements on blasts they carried out at several locations. They also published Al-Qaeda books on the Internet.
One of these books was titled "The ruling on targeting oil installations", aside from posting a film on targeting the US Consulate in Jeddah. They posted a video on one of Al-Qaeda leading members with the intention of attracting people to join them.
They passed information to the in-charge of Al-Qaeda's information section on one of the participants of the Abqaiq refinery bombing so as to publish it on the Internet. One of the elements strove to obtain an issue of "Sawt Al-Jihad" (The voice of Jihad) carrying information on Al-Qaeda with the aim of distributing it among the detainees.
Another element, under detention, distributed information about Al-Qaeda's publications, books, articles and terrorist events at a forum. This was with the intention of calling people to join Al-Qaeda and disseminating its deviant thought.
According to the results of investigations, one of the current detainees was carrying out the function of executive director of the so-called International Islamic Information Front that is concerned with Al-Qaeda thought and approach.
