...legacy of centuries of Portuguese colonialism-was trumpeted as a future tourism destination. In 2004, the U.N.'s troops began withdrawing (though peacekeepers returned after last spring's violence), and East Timor was hailed as the little nation that could. The euphoria lasted long enough for World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz to visit Dili last year and proclaim: "It really is a remarkable story. In just a few years, the people of [East Timor] have built a functioning economy and a vibrant democracy from the ashes and destruction...
...global data transmission on mobile devices--a eucalyptus branch fell outside Phillip Alvelda's Oakland Hills home, where the three sat brainstorming. The tree smashed his hot tub. Alvelda, a physicist, can probably explain the energy wave given off.

...Paul J. Barreira, Director of Behavioral Health and Academic Counseling noted in an interview, providing treatment for suicidal students requires a huge commitment of resources that goes far beyond what most colleges are capable of. In addition, the roommates of mentally ill students are unfairly burdened with the stress and anxiety inherent in caring for a profoundly sick friend. In most cases, students who have attempted suicide recognize that they would be better off elsewhere, and the majority of withdrawals “end up being voluntary,” according to Barreira. In the few cases where students...
