These events are happening almost on a weekly basis. We need to use the community on the campus to report suspicious behavior and activity. There is always someone who knows or has a hint about what could happen.

Student with handgun arrested using TipNow tip
By CRayan | September 10, 2010
http://fresnobeehive.com/news/2010/09/campus_cops_at_cos_nab_man_wit.html
A student had a gun in his backpack. Someone reported a tip via texting using TipNow. Within 4 minutes the student was arrested. This is real-time security. This is exactly what we need not only for our campuses but also for our cities, hospitals, malls, airports, corporations and other critical infrastructure.
This article really is the proof of the pudding if you will for TipNow. The idea for TipNow came about after Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. The concept for anonymous text based reporting to prevent major emergencies now is proven through this incident at the College of the Sequoias.

A great article in Christian Science Monitor on what the army knew about Malik Hasan at Fort Hood. Could an anonymous reporting system have helped to get this information from someone at Fort Hood who would have reported information if he/she would be anonymous. Something to think about.

New terms and descriptions come along every day. Between twittering, texting and slanging it requires a wordsmith of the first order to make sense of it all. Everyday new thumb saving shortcuts arise. But for the uninitiated they represent a new and expanding language. According to NetLingo, more than 2,000 abbreviations (instances of this new language) have so far been added to the lexicon. Two handy distillers of the new lingo are NetLing.com and UrbanDictionary.com. HAND (have a nice day).

Best overview of what freshmen (women) students need to watch out for!
By rgoodman | July 20, 2009
Columbia University has posted one of the best videos ever for informing students of the dangers of university life. More than just a fright movie (or video), it is a believable recreation of the real dangers that await students at today’s universities. It’s not meant as a ’scary movie’ but rather a sober visualization of reality. Resiligence highly recommends that students, and parents, view and discuss the scenarios raised. 5 ***** http://www.cohncreativegroup.com/columbia/
