Thefts at Colorado State University
September 2nd, 2010Colorado State University students go back to school this week and with them they bring their shiny new laptops.
Theft is one of this biggest crime related issues at Universities highlighted by this statistic quoted in the CSU newspaper the Rocky Mountain Collegian.
Last year CSU crime statistics reveal that theft and drug and alcohol offenses were among the most commonly committed crimes: In 2009, there were 161 cases of theft on items other than bikes or cars.
The Collegian also states what they expect this year and how they plan on making the campus safe for students. CSU Police Chief Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt stated:
“We’ll try to provide the same reactive and proactive activities the community has been accustomed to,” Rich-Goldschmidt said.
Efforts include assigning specific police officers to the residence halls to do regular walks and safety checks as well as a continuing police presence on campus.
CSPUD also advises students and community members to call its hotline if they notice any suspicious activity or crimes. It is encouraged to call even if it is uncertain whether the event is a crime or not.
“Just call us right away and allow us to be as proactive as possible,” Rich-Goldschmidt said.

Palin Daughter Engages in Heated Child Custody Case
September 1st, 2010Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin, 19, and her ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston, 20, have made headlines frequently since Sarah Palin’s campaign for vice presidency. Consistently they made the news for their child born out of wedlock, but recently for their heated back-and-forth public name calling. The Alaskan couple’s relationship has undergone a great deal of turmoil and public scrutiny, and their apparent need to attack each others’ disposition has increasingly made them tabloid fodder.
Even with out the country’s eyes focused on them, the average family going through a separation deals with many stresses and hostility. Family law cases can create a great deal of tension between spouses who often vehemently attest child custody, infidelity, child support, and assets. All of these issues can deeply impact the life of those involved, especially children.
Bristol and Levi’s infant son, Tripp, is at the center of this child custody case. Though his birthed was marred with fighting parents, legal tensions, and teen pregnancy, Bristol and Levi seem to be putting there differences aside for the sake of a healthy outcome.

New Study Indicates Men More Likely to Cheat if Women are the Bread-winner
August 31st, 2010According to a recent Cornell University study, a major issue in relationships indicative of whether a man will cheat on his significant other is the amount of income that she makes. The findings indicate that if a woman makes more money than her husband or boyfriend, than the man would be more likely to be unfaithful. The reverse is also true; if a woman makes more money than her partner then she is more inclined to cheat.
A lot can be said about this in regards to our country’s current economic downshift, as well as our presently increased rate of unemployment. It is a widely known fact in the economic community that the ebb and flow of a nation’s financial system has a direct impact on marriage and divorce. And the United States’ currently distinctive economic happenings have been no exception—divorce rates have been on a short-lived decrease.
Furthermore, there is also the fact that women have been becoming increasingly prevalent as major contributors in the U.S. workforce for the last several decades. By now it is certainly not unheard of for a wife to make more income then her husband.
Those who conducted the study at Cornell University have posited that the reason for the higher chance of infidelity when women are bringing home the bacon is that for many men making less money than their spouse may feel like an affront self-esteem, financial stability, and, in turn, their masculinity.
It has long been known that money has been a main factor in divorce, but the results of this study may give as an actual biological reason for why that is true.
