Online Video of 16-Year-Old Boy in Bath Tub Causes Parental Scare
The following information was supplied by the North Canton Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
A North Canton woman called police about 9:50 a.m. Tuesday to report that a video of a local 16-year-old boy in the bath tub had been posted all over Facebook and YouTube that day. Five 15- and 16-year-olds were involved in the making and posting of the video, according to a call-for-service entry from the North Canton Police Department. Police contacted the Stark County Prosecutor's Office, which said no crime was committed because the boy's genitals were not exposed in the video.

'Ambition Penalty' Sparks Protests by Kent State Students
Trustees' decision to bring Kent State pricing structure in line with other Ohio universities upsetting to those with heavy course loads.
Kent native Lucy Merriman attends Kent State University for free, but she’s so upset about the new “ambition penalty” to be charged to fellow students taking more than 17 credit hours that she spent nearly 12 hours Monday protesting the move. Merriman, a freshman Honors College student, staged the first of two protests set for this week outside the suite of university administrative offices located at the Kent State Library. Not long after arriving at 9 a.m. Merriman learned President Lester Lefton was not in his office Monday. But that didn’t deter her and numerous other concerned students from talking with passers-by about the new fee structure and encouraging them to sign a petition started by student Michael Crowley, whose group will …

Would you Share your Facebook Password with your Employer?
Some companies are now asking for that information
What are your strengths? What would you do in this situation? What's your educational background? Why do you want this job? Oh, and one last thing ... What's your Facebook username and password? A New York City statistician was just asked that question during an interview, and he chose not to reveal the information, according to a Huffington Post story. More companies are starting to ask for login information for Facebook profiles, but is it fair?

If your Facebook page is public, and you are a public face of your company, I don't think it's out of line for an employer to monitor that situation closely. A password is completely out of the question, though. Employees or potential employees also have a responsibility to not act like idiots if they want to be employed. Treat social media like a rolling camera or an open mic: assume someone is … more ›
