Detecting, Fighting Cyberbullying of Kids, Teens - The Early Show - CBS NewsI love when Rachel Simmons and I are included in the same article. She is an expert and a researcher I admire in this field where too often pundits make it up as they go along.
Her new book, The Curse of the Good Girl is a terrific guide to girls in this digital generation.

Rest in Peace Senator Stevens
It is with deepest sadness that we announce the death of Senator Ted Stevens in a plane crash. He was a good friend to children, to the citizens of Alaska and to the entire United States. We will remember him as a deeply devoted grandfather who wore a Hulk tie whenever he took on adversaries in the Senate. At a large reception he hosted for us at the Senate, Marvel Comics characters, including his beloved Hulk, handled a cyber crime with the help of the Senator. He should be remembered for all the good he did and all those whose lives he touched. WiredSafety, WiredTrust, Teenangels, and Parry personally send our prayers and sympathies to his family and his friends at this time of loss.
Rest in peace.
-Parry
Rest in peace.
