On student has done what we’ve all, at some point, wished we could do – he broke into his school’s computer system and, yes, changed his grades (and his attendance record – ballsy!).
The 18-year-old student found out the passwords of two of his teachers to gain access to the school’s system. He is on one year probation, and has the option of spending 20 days in jail or doing 160 hours of community service. So, to all of you thinking of doing the same: you might want to reconsider.

Boston College will no longer be giving their students school e-mail addresses when they join the student body. The thinking is that everyone already has an established online identity by the time they’re in college, and therefore all they will be offering are forwarding services. Read more…
Getting into and paying for college may seem like a daunting task. But here are a few tips that may make things easier:
Don’t assume that a school is too expensive for you (the “sticker price” may be far more than a student will end up paying) - so apply to a wide range of universities, both public and private.
Apply to both in-state and out-of-state universities - schools value geographic diversity in their student bodies, and will give competitive rates to get it.
You don’t have to be poor to qualify for financial aid.
Make sure your credit rating, and that of your co-signer, is strong. This will help when applying for loans.
Something for parents to keep in mind: you can borrow money to pay for an education, but you can’t for retirement. So don’t pay for tuition at the expense of your retirement funds.
Check out various college-savings accounts.
Learn as much as you can about the financial aid process.

(PRWEB) May 20, 2008 — A 24-year-old entrepreneur is hoping to help his single mother out of poverty - and become a millionaire in the process - by selling ad space on his website journal. Determined to help support his mother who recently came out of surgery and was unable to work her 60-hour week job, Jerry Mathurin came up with the idea to create an evolving eBook and place company ads on his website starting at $100 for a minimum of two years.

nstead of most millionaire autobiographies that document accomplishments post achievement, Mathurin thought people would enjoy seeing firsthand the process of attaining a dream. Mathurin is currently majoring in Computer Programming at Palm Beach Community College while working part time as a Computer Tutor Specialist.
Readers of Mathurin’s ‘dorm room to riches’ story will not only witness the struggles of a young entrepreneur trying to accomplish his dream, but will also be able to track his progress as new advertising spots are filled. “It’s only the infancy of this site, but we are catching the eye of advertisers and our growth looks to be infectious,” added Mathurin. When Mathurin attains his million dollar goal he will donate 10 percent of his earnings to ten diverse charities and over $10,000 to his top ten visitors throughout the world.
Jerry has already made over $3,200, and is calling out for advertisers all around the world to join what he describes as a revolution. He believes that his website will be part of history and those who join him will benefit through his exposure. “The ads start at $100 for a 60 X 60 ad space, companies should take advantage of this before its too late,” Mathurin adds.
Fritz Valdeus, the owner of Hanetball, a flourishing new sport combining teamwork and an intense cardiovascular workout, also trusts that Mathurin is on the path to success. “I chose to advertise on his site not only because it’s a great idea and we are inspired by Jerry, but that it will reach an important audience who will fall in love with our unique sport,” said Valdeus.
“Supporting bright young people like Jerry Mathurin is how TeleLakay TV demonstrates its commitment to a brighter Haitian & Caribbean community,” said James Toussaint, Marketing Director of TeleLakay TV, an online television program in Palm Beach County targeting people from the Islands.
