| Hello/Intro MySpace Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Tech-challenged parents may be unfamiliar with MySpace but, their kids know all about it. The popular online teenage hangout has grown way beyond it's capacity to police itself. Under mounting pressure from prosecutors and parents -- MySpace--agreed last week to implement tougher standards to protect kids online. This, after multiple sex crimes have been connected to the website. A new multi-state deal, signed by NH, will soon provide greater controls for online networking sites. |

TRK1: MySpace is the largest social networking site in the world. and, because it's where kids are - it's popular with sexual predators as well. 3:56 Beth: The latest numbers I heard 200 million users, 61 for facebook. how does one police that with…that kind of useage.4:06 Kelly: I think its tremendously difficult…obviously to police that.parents should think about up front.to find out what kids are doing on this site.because no matter what protections are put in place I believe no system is foolproof 4:25 4:32- Nats: 31:39 this site.hoping to draw people going to myspace.anyone could transpose those letters 31:47 … Nats: 23:40 if a child goes into somebody's page there can be deep links to things to porn and other materials. Nats: 25:58 a sexual predator could send unsolicited email and ask to be your friend.sure we've seen that happen unfortunately TRK3: Parents fear kids pages -often read like online diaries - giving out way too much personal information. MySpace requires users to be 14 or older but kids routinely ignore that. Nats: 27:04 one of problem.no age or id verification.kids can represent much older than 14 - even younger.any age.go on and create site.maybe not recognition.they are interacting with adults over things.inappropriate 27:37 47:06 some of these kids not setting up site for friends only.met only line use info to become friend and that's how it works.meet them.what interest are. At time in someone life loking for validation.that's how these thigns play out. 47:41 TRK4: Myspace has agreed to TIGHTEN security to prevent sexual predators & others from mis-using the site. 3:33 Kelly: one of focuses of agreement come up with tech working group…to put best minds together to determine can we come up with technolty that will work for age and identity verification 3:51 TRK5: The deal - with 49 states, including NH, also calls for: - strengthening software identifying underage users. - Hiring a contractor to expunge inappropriate images -Updating the list of pornographic websites & severing links -handling consumer complaints within 72 hours -And creating a closed high school section for users under 18 7:03 this is beginning of dialogue. they've agreed to convene technical group to come up with best tech to address issues.we'll be meeting every 3 months, our group of ag's that are working on this.continue to keep feet to the fire on these issues some things significant in that Users that are 14 or 15 yeArs old… mandatory private profiles , won't be able to set up profiles that anyone can access and 16 & 17 by default will have profiles set up as privatre.things like that. 7:50also a registry of email addresses so parents can notify myspace that they do not want their kids on site 7:57 - Optional: 11:05 We have created internet safety guide for teens and parents - the cmsr of educ got guide out to all middle school student and h.s. in state… also talking about internet safety - to kids and parents.working with others TRK: Despite the steps - parents should not get a false sense of security. KELLY: 12:11 …there are dangers lurking on internet -- you need to have conversation with kids. Do best to understand what our kids are doing on internet and let them know that unfortunately when you meet someone on line its different from face to face.can misrepresent themselves quite easily. TRK: While you can't make the internet completely safe - Atty Gen Ayotte says.it's a beginning. Myspace hopes other sites like facebook -- will follow its lead. |

Talk of a recession is surfacing with growth forecasts down, consumer spending off, and the latest jobs report pretty grim. In New Hampshire, a recent survey by the Business and Industry Association found that most business owners expect economic conditions to worsen in 2008. BusinessNH magazine recently sponsored a forecast breakfast where the state's experts laid out their projections. I sat down with Michael Vlacich with the Department of Resources & Economic Development to find out where New Hampshire stands in this new year. |

An 83-year-old doctor from Manchester who was one of the first African-American women to practice psychiatry in New Hampshire. |
| MLK Award/Metoyer Return to index of stories... |
Ext house dissolve to interior - Phil and Marie looking at paintings N1- Marie Metoyer lives her life surrounded by reminders. Of places she's been. People she cares for. And a history she can't forget. N2- At 83 years old, Metoyer has won this year's Martin Luther King Jr Award. To understand why, you must look back to a time when a young girl dreamed of becoming a doctor. Fade to black Marie - Phil- "When did you first know you wanted to become a doctor? Well both my parents where physicians in Jersey City, New Jersey. And I really admire my mother I felt that she was my model, she was able to have a career and raise a family of 6 children and I am the oldest of six. So I guess my desire to follow in her footsteps began back in the elementary years. N3- While growing up in Jersey City, Metoyer's parents taught her and her five siblings to reject bigotry and embrace their black heritage. Marie - "I have maternal grandmother in Washington DC and when we would drive down from Jersey City to Washington we knew that last bathroom stop was Delaware, because after that you are below the Mason Dixon line and our parents would not let us use segregated restrooms with colored over it. So you held it until you got to D.C. Although we were in a way isolated we were certainly very proud of our background and our parents instilled that in us so that I personally would feel growing up that as an African American, or we were Colored back then, if I screwed up that was a reflection on the entire race and so you had to do it right." N4- In the late 1940's, Metoyer enrolled at Cornell University's Medical School. Marie - Phil - "What challenges did you face? Well mom used to say you got several strikes against you your female, your black, and your Catholic." - laughs N5- She persevered -- becoming one of the first African-American women to graduate from Cornell with a medical degree. Marie - "I remember being told by one of the professors what are you doing here, you are taking a place of a man. So I was determined that I would practice until the day I died." N6- Metoyer practiced medicine with her mother in Jersey City. In 1960, her mother left the practice and her home for Texas. There, she set up a medical clinic for migrant workers. That service earned her the government's highest civilian honor. Marie - "She won the Medal of Freedom she had been nominated during president Kennedy years and she actually received the medal in 1964 under president Johnson. So we were all thrilled with that." N7- In the late 1960's, race riots erupted in Newark and Jersey City. Dr. Metoyer, her husband and their children left. They moved to Vermont where Metoyer earned a degree in psychiatry. The family then made their way to Manchester where Metoyer worked at a community mental health center. She treated patients from the State Hospital. Marie - "I came to Manchester in 1981 as a staff psychiatrist mostly working with the day programs and working with the institutionalized patents the chronic and severely mental ill." Sandy - "I remember when she started there people would say, 'Oh, I see your sister is working here.'" - laughs N8- Sandy Hicks, who is now visually impaired, knows Dr. Metoyer through her work at Manchester Community Mental Health. Sandy - "Young people, especially women need to take advantage of opportunities, especially in education. And work hard. That's what Marie can provide through example of what can be achieved. That's what she can pass on." Marie - Phil- "Which was more difficult, the race barrier or the gender barrier? I really don't know. When you see me you see both and I don't know which comes first the race or the gender, but they're certainly both battles to be fought. Phil- Is it a battle that you continue to fight for others? Oh yes. Very definitely, there is often a glass ceiling when it comes to women's achievements and certainly although the barriers are much less these days there are still the racial challenges that remain. We've come a long way, but we still got a long way to go." N9- Dr. Metoyer retired from psychiatry in 1996. She and Sandy Hicks continue to work as advocates for social, racial and health care rights. Marie - Phil - "Now you're being honored with the Martian Luther King Jr. award. Yes I was thrilled about that. Phil: What does that mean for you? Well it means that my efforts have born some fruit, and there is recognition of what I had been able to accomplish. We were always taught that you stand on the shoulders of those who were before you and its your turn to be the shoulder for the next group of young folks." N10- For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |
