Dr. Amy Canuso, a Psychiatrist at St. Anthony Regional Hospital, says she cannot stress to those individuals enough, this is not their fault. Suicide, she says, is often like someone drowning and you throw them a rope…but they don’t take it. Because they don’t take a hold of that lifeline and access ...

By Ann Rostow– Let’s start with videos. Last time I implored you all to check out The West Wing-style credits featuring Joe Biden and his new staff. However, I then directed you through cyberspace with the name of some guy who had nothing to do with the video, but who had simply forwarded it around the internet.
