: Lesson learned about talk of suicide...no matter how much someone cries wolf...always take it seriously...if any language is uttered for planning the attempt... he/she must be hospitalized...the only thing surprising with this poor boy is the ability of the youtube and Web 2.0 era to broadcast it...his note rationalizing his act was unfortunately not.. and @Cjlacz, your point is taken...but the egging him on definitely did not help him as he completed the act...making all the difference for those who attempt or commit. Someone can plan and "finally" decide to do it, but the short last moments before acting upon the intention is a hinge moment that takes tremendous effort for whatever the outcome. Why do you think we "talk down" jumpers if we didn't know someone can be persuaded out of it.Philippians Chapter 1 21 Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain. 22 On the other hand again, if to be alive in the body gives me an opportunity for fruitful work, I do not know which I should choose. 23 I am caught in this dilemma: I want to be gone and to be with Christ, and this is by far the stronger desire- 24 and yet for your sake to stay alive in this body is a more urgent need. 25 This much I know for certain, that I shall stay and stand by you all, to encourage your advance and your joy in the faith, Reading and understanding these verses is the maturity I've earned.

Officials at Boston College have made what may be a momentous decision: they've stopped doling out new email accounts to incoming students. The officials realized that the students already had established digital identities by the time they entered college, so the new email addresses were just not being utilized. The colleg (Read More)

: Interesting. I know here at my school many professors do not see your questions/concerns through email as legit unless they are sent through a school source (school e-mail); they are afraid they are spam. Most young kids create immature and embarrassing e-mail names ("stud", "hot", "baby"). In this case, they (probably) will create a new one when they start college if the school doesn't give them one. I know Google runs our school e-mail now and it great. I just can't imagine eliminating the school e-mail addresses altogether verification reasons.

: Good idea. I never used my College email account and heard complaints that they were full of nothing but spam anyway.Also, how are people supposed to register on Facebook's groups now? Don't the college groups require verification from a college account?

: the move makes sense for the institution and the students. my first university created an account for me without giving me permission to forward mail. i already had an account and it was a hassle to check my uni address just in case. i imagine that in the future, we may all be assigned an address at birth in the same way that tax file/social security/id numbers are assigned in some countries today. that may make life easier. of course if we don't use email anymore maybe some sort of cyber-id that can generate an automatic presence in any system such as facebook, utterli, twitter or whatever

For all the optimism surrounding the potential of computing in the cloud - lower costs, better performance, easier scaling - it isn't a perfect system. No matter how distributed and redundant the architecture or how rigorous the backup system, when it comes right down to it, there's a complex series of hoops through which t (Read More)
