Does anyone know how Trisha Bassi died?

Hi. I do know, and would be willing to tell you- but could you please tell me if your name is actually Kristy Fasano or if you just arbitrarily picked my actual name as your user name? I went to high school with Trisha's sister and I am a little disconcerted that there is someone posting comments regarding Trisha using my name. Grant it, I'm probably not the only Kristy Fasano in the world, but this has thrown me for a loop. So please, is 1) your name Kristy Fasano also, 2) are you a friend of mine playing a prank on me? 3) Should I pony up and get a lawyer because I have had my identity stolen once and it's not a path I'd like to travel down again.

Thanks.

I need help finding some mid-range and safety (graduate) j-schools to apply to. My dream schools are Columbia and NYU, but since those are obviously quite competitive, I need some other options. I'd like to attend school in/near a major city such as New York, Chicago, or DC (but I'm not necessarily set on the East Coast). What do you recommend?

The only one that fit your criteria that I'd really recommend is Syracuse University (though it is really far from New York). Also, the University of Maryland at College Park (Kind of near DC) looks great, but you its about as tough to get into as NYU from what I hear.
