US student's suicide illustrates Internet dangers

Geoff Mulvihill and Samantha Henry, Associated Press, Piscataway, New Jersey | Fri, 10/01/2010 9:55 AM | World
The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet's alarming potential as a means of tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.
Cruel gossip and vengeful acts once confined to the schoolyard or the dorm can now make their way around the world instantly via the Internet, along with photos and live video.
"It's just a matter of when the next suicide's going to hit, when the next attack's going to hit," said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety.
Last week, Tyler Clementi, a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman and gifted violinist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in prison.
The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on campus.
"Had he been in bed with a woman, this would not have happened," said Rutgers student Lauren Felton, 21. "He wouldn't have been outed via an online broadcast, and his privacy would have been respected and he might still have his life."
The Associated Press found at least 12 cases in the U.S. since 2003 in which children and young adults between 11 and 18 killed themselves after falling victim to some form of "cyberbullying" - teasing, harassing or intimidating with pictures or words distributed online or via text message.
In probably the best-known case, 13-year-old Megan Meier hanged herself in 2006 after she received messages on MySpace - supposedly from a teenage boy - cruelly dumping her. An adult neighbor was later found guilty of taking part in the hoax, but the conviction was overturned.
Earlier this year, 17-year-old Alexis Pilkington who had landed a college soccer scholarship, killed herself after receiving a stream of nasty messages.
Gregory Jantz, founder of A Place of Hope, a Seattle mental health care center, said young people who use the Internet to spread something damaging about others often don't realize how hurtful it can be because many of them have grown up in a world that has blurred the line between public and private.
"Our kids are in a different zone now," Jantz said.
Aftab said young people who would never bully someone face to face do it online in part because of the often-false sense of anonymity that the Internet provides.
"They'll also jump on because they don't want to be the next target," Aftab said.
In Clementi's case, prosecutors said that his roommate, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, both 18-year-old freshmen, transmitted a live image of Clementi having sex on Sept. 19 and that Ravi tried to webcast a second encounter on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi's suicide. Lawyers for Ravi and Wei did not return calls.
Luanne Peterpaul, vice chairwoman of the gay rights group Garden State Equality and a former New Jersey prosecutor, said authorities might be able to pursue the case as a hate crime under state law if they are able to establish that the defendants acted because they believed Clementi was gay.
Ravi posted a message on his now-closed Twitter account on Sept. 19: "Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay."
Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan said in a statement: "We will be making every effort to assess whether bias played a role in the incident, and, if so, we will brig appropriate charges."
A lawyer for Clementi's family did not respond to requests for comment on whether Clementi had come out to friends and family about his sexual orientation. He also said the family had no comment.
The mourning continued at Rutgers and in Ridgewood, the suburban New Jersey town were Clementi grew up and attended high school.
Clementi's violin teacher for the past five years could not believe he had taken his own life.
"He was a very genuine and, I guess, you could call it a shy person," said Khullip Jeung, 33, who teaches out of his home in Fort Lee. "But when he played the violin, it was different. He had a strong voice. He knew what he wanted to say. And he spoke through his violin. And I think that is the real Tyler that I knew."
The governor also had a comment.
"As the father of a 17-year-old, I can't imagine what those parents are feeling today," Gov. Chris Christe said. "Those people who led him to that bridge are going to have to bear that responsibility for the rest of their lives."
Ed Schmiedecke, the recently retired music director at Ridgewood High, called Clementi "a terrific musician and a very promising, hardworking young man."
"Musically, Tyler as destined for greatness," childhood friend Mary Alcaro, who played in a summer music academy with him, said in an e-mail. "I've never heard anyone make a violin sing the way he did."
Students at West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional High School, from which Ravi and Wei graduated, remembered them as nice people who were not in any way homophobic.
Ravi had gay friends, said Derek Yan, 16, a junior. Yan said he chatted online with Ravi about what college life was like, and Ravi "said he was lucky to have a good roommate. He said his roommate was cool."

Australian mother jailed for starving her children

An Australian mother, spend money well-being on cigarettes and gambling was approved sentenced Friday to six years in prison to die of hunger, beatings, and neglect their children.
Prosecutor Jim Pearce told the court the children starve and are sometimes forced to vomit when they, when they should not eat. They were posted on a wall all day and fought for the series.
When authorities were notified in June 2008, a child admitted to hospital with hypothermia and all children were taken into custody.
Judge Chris Kourakis sentence imposed by the Supreme Court of South Australia, where the woman in danger guilty last month to two counts of life and three points, creating a risk of serious harm to five children.
The woman can not be identified to protect the identity of their children.
Kourakis said the woman was abused as a child, but the need for a deterrent effect on the protection of children outweighs his lawyer's request for a suspended sentence.
The mother is a candidate for parole in three years and three months.

Japan bars Paris Hilton because of drug plea

Paris Hilton was denied entrance into Japan on Wednesday, two days after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge in Las Vegas.
Japan has strict immigration laws that bar entry to those convicted of drug offenses, although exceptions are occasionally granted.
"I'm going back home, and I look forward to coming back to Japan in the future," a smiling Hilton said to reporters at Tokyo's airport.
The 29-year-old celebrity socialite was supposed to promote her fashion and fragrance lines at a news conference Wednesday morning in Tokyo. She arrived Tuesday evening but was stopped at the airport and spent the night at a hotel there after being questioned by officials.
The move also abruptly canceled Hilton's planned appearances in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia.
Hilton's publicist Dawn Miller wrote in a statement that Hilton plans to make the trips at a later date.
"Paris is very disappointed and fought hard to keep her business commitments and see her fans, but she is forced to postpone her commitments in Asia," Miller's statement, sent as Hilton's flight left, said. "Paris understands and respects the rules and laws of the immigration authorities in Japan and fully wishes to cooperate with them."
A Japanese immigration official said she was denied entry Wednesday after a total of about six hours of questioning over the two days. The country has taken a tough line with famous figures in the past, although it also grants exceptions on occasion.
Soccer icon Diego Maradona was initially banned from entering the country during the 2002 World Cup finals for his past drug offenses, but was eventually given a 30-day visa as a "special delegate." The Rolling Stones struggled for years to gain entry to the country but were eventually allowed in despite its members' drug convictions. In January 1980, former Beatles member Paul McCartney was arrested for marijuana possession upon arrival at Narita airport. He was deported without carrying out a planned concert tour by his rock group Wings.

A safer driving experience


Does your car have what it takes to keep you safe and sound?
When many cars can reach extraordinary speeds — some can hurtle along at 250 kilometer per hour — the demand for safety also increases. After seatbelts and airbags, some carmakers have also introduced more advances for safer driving.
German carmaker Mercedes-Benz is no exception.
Some of the safety-related features normally found in a car include airbags (at least four areas equipped with airbags: the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat, rear seats, the sides and the windows), an anti-lock braking system (ABS), brake assistance, night views and an intelligent light system.
The Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience, held recently in Sentul International Circuit, West Java, helped familiarize drivers with safety technology, informed then of the right things they should do in a crisis and, perhaps most importantly, gave hands-on experience in dealing with them.
Different cars were brought to the circuit for a test drive. They include the latest Mercedes-Benz models, such as the C200 CGI, E200 CGI, S500, GL350 CDI, ML 350 and V350.
The CGI stands for charged gasoline injection, meaning that the car applies blue efficiency technology that helps reduce fuel consumption by 9 percent to 22 percent. Despite reduced fuel consumption, the cars can produce 184 horsepower for the C200 and C250 and 204 horsepower for the E200 and E250
The S500 is in a different league compared to the E-class and C-class as it uses a silent V8 engine that can reach 100 kilometers per hour in just 6 seconds. Well, to be precise, in 5.4 seconds, but who’s counting?
The S-class’ air suspension system provides crisp handling and refined comfort. Other features include leather upholstery, electrically adjusted front seats and a roof window.
While the SUV vehicles – GL350 CDI, ML 350 and V350 – are four-wheel drive and built for the rough track, they do not necessarily lack in speed, for these cars also have powerful V8 engines. At the speeds made possible by such engines, drivers should really understand how to maximize the car’s safety technology.
During the Driving Experience event, the first exercise was a slalom, where drivers zig-zagged between cones. The exercise was aimed at enhancing a driver’s visual skills and focus while driving.
Drivers should focus on the space between the cones, but not on the cones. In this exercise, the driver also learns more about how to control the car and the steering wheel. Here, the bulky E-class felt more stable than the slim C-class.
The next exercise was lane changing, which was aimed at controlling the cars in an emergency without using the brakes. Any unstable or sudden movement would activate the car’s electronic stability program (ESP) to prevent the car from skidding.
Curve skid pad exercises emphasized the ABS, anti-skid regulation and electronic traction system. The exercise in the curve skid pad is conducted by placing two wheels on a slippery track, while the other two wheels were on the dry track.
In this exercise, drivers navigate a designated lane separated by cones before building up speed and hitting the brake pedal at an assigned spot just a few meters before the car reaches the skid pad.
A speed monitor was placed at the assigned spot. Drivers should run their cars at a speed between 80-85 km per hour and the car should stop before the last cone. When the instruction was followed carefully, the braking system met the required speed.
For example, if the car was accidentally driven into the gravel areas, drivers received notice in the shape of an exclamation mark on the panel menu. During the exercise, seatbelts will automatically tighten as they sense the passengers’ swaying bodies when the cars are drifting. While it surely is safe, women may find it a bit uncomfortable.
For the SUVs, the test drive was more challenging, with built-up ram track to try out the downhill speed regulation feature, braking system, 4 ESP and four electronic traction system that keeps the wheels rolling even if one of the wheels is not touching any ground and pyramid track to try the dynamic driving suspension.
After completing the whole series of exercises, it was obvious that the cars are not only made for speed, but also for safety when a situation arises

Cancer


Cancer Definition

Cancer is a collective term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can use the spread to other tissues. Cancer cells in different parts of the body via the bloodstream and lymphatic spread.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are over 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are on the organ or cell type in which they start - for example, mentioned that the cancer starts in the colon is called colon cancer, cancer that begins in basal cells of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma.

Cancers can be divided into broader categories. The main categories of cancer include

    * Cancer - Cancer that begins in the skin or tissues, organs and internal reporting.


    * Sarcoma - cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels or other tissues or support.


    * Leukemia - cancer that starts in blood-forming tissues such as bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to produce and enter the bloodstream.


    * Lymphoma and myeloma - cancers begin in cells of the immune system.


    * Central nervous system cancers - tumors that begin in the brain and spinal cord.

The development of cancer

all cancers begin in cells of the unit body, the basis of life. To understand cancer, it is useful to know what happens when normal cells into cancer cells.

The body is composed of several cell types. These cells grow and divide in a controlled manner to produce more cells as needed to keep the body healthy. When old or damaged cells, they die and are replaced by new cells.

But sometimes, orderly process goes wrong. The genetic material (DNA) of a cell can be damaged or altered to produce mutations affect normal cell growth and division. If this happens, cells do not die when it is necessary and to make new cells when the body does not require it. The additional cells may have a mass of tissue called a tumor.
Not all tumors are cancerous; tumors can be benign or malignant.

    * Benign tumors are not cancerous. Often can be removed, and in most cases they do not go back. Cells from benign tumors do not spread to other body parts.


    * Malignant tumors are cancers. The cells of these tumors can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer from one part of the body to another is called metastasis.

Some cancers form tumors. For example, leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood.
