UW-Eau Claire Announces $35 Million Goal
For Fund-raising Campaign
MAILED: April 26, 2002
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will seek $35 million in private support by July 2005 through its Fulfilling the Promise of Excellence campaign, officials announced Friday at an on-campus kickoff event.
The campaign is UW-Eau Claire's first comprehensive fund-raising effort, and the $35 million goal is the largest for a UW System regional institution. The 250 UW-Eau Claire alumni and friends attending the kickoff also learned that contributors have committed $18,268,000 since the campaign's quiet phase began in July 2000.
While the amount raised so far is impressive, the university has much work ahead to reach its overall campaign goal, said Carole Halberg, UW-Eau Claire Foundation president.
"By the end of the campaign, we will have invited every alumnus and every friend of this university to participate," she said. "Gifts of every size will be needed to make our goal."
Halberg noted that donors' generosity will make an important difference in the lives of the university's students - students like Andrew Oettinger.
"The generosity of private donors not only attracted me to UW-Eau Claire, but it allowed me to take advantage of all that is offered here," said Oettinger, who readily admits that if it weren't for the work of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation, he wouldn't be taking full advantage of the opportunities available to him at the university. In fact, he says he might not be there at all.
As it is, Oettinger, a junior and the recipient of a number of prestigious scholarships and awards, is maximizing his college experience. He is a member of The Singing Statesmen, the university's widely acclaimed male chorus that will embark on a European tour at the end of May. He just completed a stint as president of the Student Senate, and now he will take his skills off campus as a newly elected member of the Eau Claire County Board.
The political science major from Green Bay intends one day to follow his benefactors' example. He has pledged to give back "in a big way" to make a difference in other students' lives. That pledge is sweet music to Foundation leadership as they launch the public phase of the campaign.
"When this campaign is concluded, we will have helped secure the future for many students who have the talent and initiative to take advantage of everything the university offers," Halberg said. "The Foundation exists for one reason, and that is to provide opportunity."
Among campaign commitments made so far are $4.5 million from David and Marilyn Karlgaard, Fairfax, Va.; a seven-figure gift from Dr. David J. Johnson, professor emeritus of social work, Bruce; just over $1 million from Jan and Kathryn Ver Hagen, Creve Coeur, Mo.; $150,000 from Dr. John Morris, UW-Eau Claire professor emeritus of English and former vice chancellor, Eau Claire; $100,000 from Ken and Roberta Vance, Eau Claire; and $100,000 from Susan and Roger Tietz and McDonough Manufacturing Co., Eau Claire. Significant commitments also have come from Owen and Janice Ayres, Eau Claire, and JoAnne Brandes, Franklin.
UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff, as well as emeriti faculty, also have contributed through the university's first campus campaign, said Kimera Way, executive director of development. So far more than 375 faculty, staff and emeriti faculty have participated in the campus campaign, which kicked off Feb. 1 and will become an annual event.
Through Fulfilling the Promise of Excellence, the university will expand its resource base beyond its limited state allocation and rising student tuition, said Chancellor Donald Mash.
"Regardless of how the state Legislature resolves the current budget situation, we must be proactive to ensure UW-Eau Claire's tradition of excellence," Mash said.
The university will continue to present its best case to legislators to preserve its state allocation, and it will continue to use tuition resources as effectively and efficiently as possible, Mash said. However, reaching out to alumni and friends through the campaign is necessary for UW-Eau Claire to maintain and enhance its respected academic tradition and its role as a partner in the Chippewa Valley.
"We have something special here at UW-Eau Claire, and we intend to keep it that way," Mash said. "What we've developed here and what we aspire to accomplish in the future are worth fighting for."
A strategic plan for the comprehensive campaign names six areas of investment for contributors: student success, faculty and staff distinction, facilities enhancement, technology for learning, community service opportunities and the UW-Eau Claire Excellence Fund (a fund that allows the university to take advantage of opportunities as they arise).
The campaign will seek three basic types of gifts from alumni and friends, Way said, including outright contributions to be used immediately for donor-specified purposes, contributions to create new endowed (permanent) funds or to support existing endowments, and planned gifts.
In addition to UW-Eau Claire's development staff, a number of volunteers have campaign leadership roles, including the Karlgaards, who are national campaign chairs; Brandes, UW System regent and national honorary campaign chair; Dennis and Carol Heyde, Chippewa Falls, national vice chairs; and the Ver Hagens, who are national vice chairs. Also providing campaign leadership are the UW-Eau Claire Foundation trustees and members of its executive committee.

Up to 14 homeless in Torrington after boxes on stove catch fire
TORRINGTON -- Fire investigators said boxes stored on top of an electric stove caught fire on Wednesday morning when the apartment, which had been without electricity for weeks, had its power restored.
Fire Marshal Timothy J. Tharau said the stove must have accidentally turned on when a knob was bumped into while the new residents moved into the apartment at 222 N. Elm St. The apartment caught fire at 9:43 a.m., displacing the 12 to 14 residents who lived in the two-story brick building as well as the two families living in a rear building.

The nation's shameful policy of packing people into prisons to serve long sentences for relatively minor crimes wandered outside the limits of sanity a long time ago, making U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's call for reform this week most welcome.
"It's time — in fact, it's well past time — to address persistent needs and unwarranted disparities by considering a fundamentally new approach," Holder told the American Bar Association Monday.
Exactly. Although some of the concepts Holder is proposing are already being tried by states, his forceful call for sentencing reform should add to the momentum for change.
Holder noted that the federal prison population has increased by almost 800 percent since the 1980s, when Congress passed mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes. Of 219,000 federal inmates currently behind bars, almost half are there for drug-related crimes. People of color often receive harsher sentences than offenders who are white. A study released this year showed that black men in recent years have been sentenced to prison terms 20 percent longer than those handed out to white males convicted of similar crimes.
"A vicious cycle of poverty, criminality and incarceration traps too many Americans and weakens too many communities," the attorney general said. "And many aspects of the criminal justice system may actually exacerbate these problems."
Holder announced changes aimed at keeping low-level, nonviolent drug offenders with no ties to gangs or drug cartels out of federal prisons. Some cases will be reassigned to state courts. Federal prosecutors will be instructed on how to write criminal complaints without tripping the mandatory sentencing requirements.
The U.S. Department of Justice will support more "compassionate releases" of elderly or ill patients who pose no threat to the public. And it will expand alternatives to prison, such as mandatory drug treatment.
Prompted by budget shortfalls and alarming recidivism rates, many states already have embarked on the sorts of changes Holder is proposing.
Kansas in 2003 passed a landmark law requiring community-based supervision and treatment instead of prison for non-violent offenders convicted of simple drug possession. Two years ago the Legislature expanded the levels of drug crimes for sentencing purposes, to better differentiate among traffickers, small sellers and users.
For a time, Kansas was recognized as a leader in working with communities to treat offenders in settings other than prison. But the state foolishly cut back on those progressive efforts for budgetary reasons. It's important for federal and state governments to recognize that sentencing alternatives to incarceration must be backed up by well-funded treatment and supervision programs.
Missouri legislated some positive reforms a year ago, lessening the sentencing disparity between illegal possession and use of powdered and crack cocaine and increasing supervision and treatment for people on probation and parole.
Other states are farther ahead, though. Holder cited Kentucky, Texas and Arkansas as some of the states that have reduced prison populations without compromising public safety.
Smarter sentencing may be the rare cause that finds bipartisan support. Only three lawmakers opposed Missouri's 2012 law. In the U.S. Senate, liberal Democrat Dick Durbin of Illinois and libertarian Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky support more discretion for federal judges.
Violent criminals and crime bosses should be behind bars. But leaders at all levels should heed Holder's call for a new approach. As he said: "We cannot simply prosecute or incarcerate our way to becoming a safer nation."

- Project Overview
- 2009 - 2010
- 2008 - 2009
Micromouse is an engineering design competition created by IEEE where small robotic mice solve a 16x16 maze. The mice are completely autonomous robots that must find their way from a predetermined starting position to the central area of the maze unaided. The mouse will need to keep track of where it is, discover walls as it explores, map out the maze and detect when it has reached the goal. Having reached the goal, the mouse will typically perform additional searches of the maze until it has found an optimal route from the start to the center. Once the optimal route has been found, the mouse will run that route in the shortest possible time. Mice can run at up to three meters per second, with current world records around 6~7 seconds.
The Micromouse competition is held annually at the Region 6 Southwest Area Spring Meeting. The location changes each year and moves between universities in the western United States. There are cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.
UCSD's Micromouse team was founded by Christopher Aprea in 2006 with the help of Roger Ying, past IEEE UCSD Chair. The project has come a long way in just a few years. At the 2007 competition, the robot didn't move because of sensor problems. In 2008, the robot almost made it to the center, but got stuck on the corners of the maze due to its square mechanical design. In 2008-2009, the team built a new mouse from the ground up (shown above). Jeff Wurzbach designed the mechanical platform and Alex Forencich designed the electronics, including custom boards for the CPU, power supply, and motor controller. In addition, the team designed and built a to-spec maze for the 2009 competition (right), which we hosted here at UCSD.
The Micromouse team is always looking for students interested in hands-on mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. If you want to get involved, send us an email!
Why Join Micromouse?
Students working on Micromouse have to apply knowledge learned inside the classroom and learn a number of skills not taught at UCSD. This project teaches a number of skills including:
Circuit design. The typical ECE class involves analyzing circuits, not designing circuits. In a typical ECE lab, students are given a circuit and have to solve for some parameter to make it work correctly. In Micromouse, the team is given an abstract problem - build a robot that solves a maze - and must translate that into a concrete implementation that solves the problem.
PCB layout. Since ECE classes use breadboards, PCB design is not even mentioned. In Micromouse, the team must choose parts from hundreds of manufacturers and dozens of suppliers with myriad specifications and footprints, then lay out the circuit boards in CAD software, and send it off for fabrication.
SMD soldering. The typical ECE class involves building circuits on breadboards from a bin of already ordered parts. It's good for learning and rapid prototyping, but you won't find a breadboard inside your laptop.
Mechanical design. The chassis of the robot was designed in SolidWorks. SolidWorks is the standard in professional CAD software, and is widely used in industry. Right, a SolidWorks rendering of a preliminary design using an acrylic material.
Mechanical fabrication and assembly. The team sent some of the CAD drawings out for professional fabrication, and made others themselves using standard machine shop tools including lathe and drill press.
Embedded programming. The robot uses an ARM microprocessor - the same kind of processor found in iPhones, Blackberries, Windows Mobile devices, and other high performance embedded systems. They use the GNU toolchain to cross-compile for ARM, and JTAG interface to program the chip. Since there is no OS, the students get to program at a very low level - stepper motor drivers, sensor interfaces, interrupt handlers, memory management.
Artificial Intelligence. After writing the low-level code, the team gets to write the maze solving code.
The Competition
IEEE UCSD Micromouse teams attend two competitions annually. The first is the IEEE Region 6 Southwest Area (SWA) Spring Meeting and the second is the California Micromouse Competition (CAMM). The SWA meeting rotates among universities in the southwestern United States, and Micromouse teams get to travel to the SWA meeting for the competition and compete against other Region 6 schools. CAMM is organized and hosted by IEEE UCSD. It allows Micromouse teams from all over the United States to compete against one another, fostering better mice through more competition. Both SWA and CAMM have cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.

Changes to Working Holiday Scheme Agreement between Czech Republic and New Zealand
15.11.2011 / 01:36
(This article expired 16.11.2012.)
Long awaited changes to the Agreement between both countries become effective.
The Protocol to the Agreement on a Working Holiday Scheme between the Government of the Czech Republic and the Government of New Zealand which changes the conditions for the Working Holiday Scheme (WHS), signed on 25 November 2010 in Prague, will enter into force on 1 December 2011.
The Government of New Zealand side began to provisionally apply the Protocol on 7 November 2011, which means that Czech applicants can now apply for WHS visas under the new conditions.
The WHS gives young people from both countries the opportunity to stay in the other country for up to one year. They are allowed to enrol in short-term training or study courses and to take up temporary employment to supplement their travel funds.
The Protocol increases the maximum age limit for WHS applicants from 30 to 35 years. It removes the restrictions on the time the visitor can work for one employer(the original Agreement limited the employment to three months), which means that the visitor can work for one employer throughout the whole year. However, it is important to note that the employment must be on a "fixed term" (not "open-ended")basis. The Protocol also removes the original study restrictions – the visitor is now allowed to enrol in more than one training or study course, and the maximum total duration of such course(s) is extended from three to six months.Applicants for WHS visas must be citizens of the Czech Republic/New Zealand, and are no longer required to prove that they are permanently resident in the country of their citizenship.
Czech applicants should use the WHS online application service. Currently there are 1,200 WHS visas available on each side every year.

The Sun Maker Special News Feature
The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd and Custodian of the Two Sacred Mosques, in Buenos Aires, Argentina is the largest Mosque in Latin America and the Caribbean. There are approximately 1.5 billion Muslims in the World. In the year 2010, the Muslim World is said to account for one fith (20%) of the World population. Islam is thoroughly covered by international media in Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe and in North America. Rarely is Islam identified with Latin America, South America and the Caribbean. However according to "Muslims in Latin America", by Muhammad Yusuf Halla, the number of Muslims in Latin America is over four million. Serving as an example 700,000 in Argentina and more than 1,500,000 in Brazil.
Muslims migration to the new world began with European explorers in the late 1490 and early 1500. Moorish Muslims and African Muslims have always had a strong presence on the Iberian peninsula. In the 20th Century, the Muslim migration to Latin America increased significantly and its sources diversified. Migration stopped in the midst of the Second World War. However today Islam is growing in the region. The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd and Custodian of the Two Sacred Mosques in Buenos Aires with open doors offers wide variety of services in the region. The idea for The King Fahd Islamic Cultural Centre came in the 1970s when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia resolved to open its Embassy in the capital of Argentina.
The King Fahd Islamic Cultural Centre, was completed in 1996 with the help of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Built on a strategic terrain in Palermo, Buenos Aires, the land measures 20,000 m². The project is said to have cost 30 million USD. It was inaugurated on Monday 25th of September in the year 2000 by the Prince Heir to thrown of Saudi Arabia and 250 important figures and guests. The objectives of Islamic Cultural Centre are to provide their services to Islam and to the Muslims in Argentina, South America, Central America and the Caribbean. They state another objective as, "Creating awareness of the importance for Muslims to collaborate and develop the society in which they live, fulfilling their basic duties".
Also present in Buenos Aires, The Islamic Organization of Latin America (IOLA) is headquartered in Argentina. It is considered the most active organization in Latin America in promoting Islamic affiliated endeavours.
See the Video Report: Islam in Latin America
(Images, Video editing and Text by the Sun Maker. Background Music: Natacha Atlas Gafsa)
It is a Thursday 29th of April 2010. The clock says it is 11:55 hs am. Numerous visitors and Muslims gather, waiting patiently, outside the main gate. They gather and await to enter the Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd and Custodian of the Two Sacred Mosques, of Buenos Aires. The Islamic Centre is located in busy Avenue Bullrich (Number 55) and Cerviño. It is the beginning of Autumn, the sun is in its highest point, it is crossing the zenith sky, and shines down on us. There are no clouds. Outside the biggest Mosque in Latin-American the mood of the people is calm, but invigorating. The structure of the Mosque takes up most of the attention, and visitors talk about it. As the young Muslim women cover their hair before entering, near by a teacher, who is taking his students on a guided tour to the Mosque, talks to his pupils and explains them about the respect they should have and how to behave once inside the Mosque. The people form a line, and we all wait for the doors to be opened. We all wait for someone to let us in. Many thoughts cross the mind, but soon the sound of the city is left behind and a more balanced environment is revealed. After a few minutes, the gathering is let in. Formed in a straight line and following a pathway set on the floor, the Muslims and visitors stretch in a slow motion, as we all go through the first door.
Inside the first open space a blue water fountain contrasts with the yellow-sand colour and the white walls. On the walls white framings cover the Arab style windows, which are neither square nor rectangular, but usually end their top in an enclosing circle. Simple, yet filled with beauty, the first open space is the place the gathering has to walk through to enter pass through the second door. The wall of this door is immense, and the colours of the Mosque are an unity that is constant throughout the entire Mosque. The line of people going inside breaks to left to go through the second door. We go by a series of non adorned columns that emerge to our right. The columns cover a shed corridor filled with other rooms, we never see. Some doors are white others are black and curved in shapes of circles, lines and star. As the gathering moves to the left, and the door comes closer, it becomes evident that there are many people in Buenos Aires, who are interested in Islam.
This passing through the door becomes a symbol for that gives a more accurate sense of Latin-Americans entering the Muslim World. The gathering of Muslims, visitors, -and maybe some New Muslims, go through the second door. The walk of the group conveys an effort and intention of respect, and silently talks about the difference and similarities of cultures, of the people. The conversations turn silent. A representative of the Mosque humanely and respectfully asks a young woman to correct her clothings as she agrees the numerous visitors keep walking.
A wall appears from within the Mosque. It is a doored wall. The size of the wall when compared with the door creates the mirage of the people going through a very small door. However the door is not small, it is in fact a big white double door. It is the wall which is very high. This wall is about 3 stories high (maybe more), and it surrounds the first space from which we came from. It is not a wall in itself but part of the rooms and structure of the Cultural Islamic Centre of the King Fahd, the biggest Mosque in Latin America.
The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd with its two minarets has a capacity for more than 1500 Muslims to pray. A spacious second room where 500 woman can pray can be found on the second floor. Water fountains and spacious rooms for ablutions. The gardens are vast. The entrance to the Mosque is marked with a great water fountain. It has two departments for housing, and one for Residence. The library which is constantly growing with books of Interest for Islam has a capacity of more than 10.000 books and references. The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd also has conference room designed for 500 people, and space for cultural exhibits and religious activities, administration offices and Secretariat, as well as an two Educational compound for primary and secondary school, for girls and boys, primary education and high schools or secondary education, 16 studio classrooms, fully equipped science labs for the students and an impeccable restaurant for the students. The Cultural Centre is also equipped with an underground parking space for an approximate capacity of 100 vehicles.
Among the Cultural Activities of The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd, there is; Calligraphy, Arab language, and calligraphy, Arab culture, religion, sports and lunches, prayers in the salut of the Mosque, Islamic Science seminaries taken on by Erudite Scholars in Aquidah, Biography of the Prophet Muhammad and Fiqh (Law), Course for Lecture and Memorization of the Holly Qur'an , and contests on Memorization of the Holly Qur'an.
Talking to one of the people who guided the group through the visit, I ask him about Arabic Language and about cultural activities of the Islamic Centre.
"Can anyone learn to speak Arabic here in the Cultural Islamic Centre? Or does one have to be Muslim?"
"Anyone can come to learn, if they are interested." He responded. We now stood near the doorway, as the group was leaving, and so was I.
"So, would you say it is difficult to learn, to speak and write Arabic?" I asked him at that doorway.
"No, not difficult." He paused and seemed to look for the right word, while his eye kept an eye on the people he had been guiding through the Mosque. "It takes time, and work." He answered.
How can someone start to learn to speak Arabic in Buenos Aires, in these, the so called years 2010? I thought to myself.
"You have to send an email, to our website". The patient guide added the missing information. And taking the time to kindly explain the reason why he could not continue the conversation he said; "We are very busy in these days, due to the Book Fair (he refered to the International Book Fair of Buenos Aires, the biggest in South America, this year celebrating the Bicentenary of the Argentina, 200 years of Independence) We (The Cultural Islamic Centre King Fahd and Custodian of the Two Sacred Mosques) have a Islamic Culture display there. You should go see it," he said. And that was what he had said to the group which he guided through the Mosque. He had invited everyone to see the Islamic Culture Book Fair display. Then the person who guided the gathering moved along, seeing through that his duties.

Well that was fast!

I was hoping the cycle post-chemical pg would go fast, but I didn't think it would go that fast ... I O'ed on or about CD 12 (wasn't paying super close attention, but based on temps), and had a 7-day LP--AF showed today (on what would have been my 7-week doctor's appointment). Yep, that's a 19-day cycle. Fine by me, as long as things get back to normal from here!
If I O somewhere around a normal time this cycle, I'll be testing the week of our 9th anniversary ... fingers crossed we get a nice (sticky!) anniversary present.

Your chart looks very promising Rebekah! Yay for O'ing!
Any idea when you will test yet? My test date (according to FF) is August 6th. If I'm not strong I could see myself testing on Saturday August 4th or Sunday August 5th. That would be 12 and/or 13DPO.
This might be weird, but I feel like I have to test on a weekend. I can't imagine testing positive and then having to go to work. I'm more familiar with testing negative of course, and I can go to work after that - I'll just be in a bad mood. But a BFP? That's a different story!
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 2:07pm
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 7:56am
Well, as expected my O date has been changed as of this morning. Now FF thinks O was CD17 and I'm now 3DPO. I'll take it. Test date will be August 6 or 7 if I can wait that long.
Can't wait to see if you O'd too Rebekah. My fingers are crossed for you!
|Wed, 07-25-2012 - 9:13pm
It HAS to be wrong! I'm glad you think so too. Hopefully it fixes itself when I temp tomorrow morning. Although I do wish I really was 6dpo, because at least then I'd be further into the 2ww.
I hope you O'd today!
|Wed, 07-25-2012 - 5:04pm
I was hoping for a temp spike today, but got the opposite--it dropped way low. (Of course, I got up earlier than usual because I had a long run this morning, but still. 96.8 is no way a post-O temp!) So today seems like it *has* to be O day. I had a positive OPK two days ago, and then yesterday it was negative, but just barely--like LH was starting to drop a bit. I'm getting some twingey pains on my right side, too. So today better be it!

You can try making a plot out of what you're seeing -- the net filled with gold objects, the oddly androgynous costumes of some of the players, the soldier who seems to be dying with his horse, the clown's love for a lady. Clearly the creators of Cheval Théâtre have some story in mind. But it's enough just to wonder at the acrobats' daring and skill and the horses' beauty while allowing the strange images to linger in your mind and arouse what associations they will.
As we leave, I asked Zetterlemoyer if she and Fisher often somersault from the backs of their Arabians. "A lot," she says. "Just not intentionally."

For Senior Taxpayers
Question: Are the proceeds I received from a reverse mortgage taxable to me?
No, the amounts received from a reverse mortgage are not taxable. A reverse mortgage is a loan. The lender is paying you (in a lump sum, a monthly advance, a line of credit, or a combination of all three) while you continue to live in your home.
- With a reverse mortgage, you retain title to your home.
- Depending on the plan, your reverse mortgage becomes due with interest when you move, sell your home, reach the end of a pre-selected loan period, or die. Because reverse mortgages are considered loan advances and not income, the amount you receive is not taxable.
- Any interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage is not deductible until you actually pay it, which is usually when you pay off the loan in full. Your deduction may be limited because a reverse mortgage loan generally is subject to the limit on Home Equity Debt discussed in Part II of Publication 936, Home Mortgage Interest Deduction.

CONTACT is passionate about helping people prevent or resolve any type of crisis. We want to empower you with the tools to help someone close to you. It may be a family member, a friend or coworker. As long as you have the desire to help and willingness to listen without judgment, we believe the following steps will help guide you to helping someone from their breaking point to a turning point.
Understanding and Helping the Suicidal Person
If you or someone you know is at risk of suicide or has stated suicidal thoughts, it is important to get the facts and take appropriate action.
Listen and Take It Seriously!!
Seventy-five percent of all suicides give some warning of their intentions to a friend or family member. All suicide threats and attempts must be taken seriously.
Be Aware of the Warning Signs.
The American Association of Suicidology has developed an easy mnemonic to remember the warning signs:
Ideation – statements about suicide or wanting it to be over
Substance Abuse
Purposelessness – not important
Trapped – feeling
Withdrawal or Isolation
Mood Changes – sudden
Seek Professional Help
If you recognize, witness, hear or see someone exhibiting the warning signs, please seek help as soon as possible by contacting a mental health professional or call our crisis helpline at 972-233-2233.
Other Ways to Help
The American Association of Suicidology offers these tips for helping someone who is talking about suicide or is severely depressed:
- Talk openly, directly and matter-of-factly about depression or suicide. It is a myth that talking about either of these issues will cause someone to attempt suicide
- Be willing to listen and accept expressions of feelings is very important
- Be non-judgmental. Don't lecture on the value of life
- Get involved and show interest and support
- NEVER dare someone
- Don't act shocked
- Don't be sworn to secrecy. Seek support as soon as possible
- Offer hope that alternatives are available but don't be glib
- Take action. Remove any possible means such as sharp objects, guns or pills
- Call our crisis line at 972-233-2233 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) for help

Social media to shape 2016 Philippine polls
Santiago made the statement in her speech on "Media and Good Governance" at Assumption College, San Lorenzo Village, Makati City, during Communication Week. Assumption is an exclusive school for females who came from some of the richest and most powerful families in the country.
"It is entirely possible that the 2016 presidential and senatorial elections will be determined by social media," said the senator, who is frequently trending in social media.
Santiago, who ran for president in 1992 and whose presidential election protest was never resolved, predicted that because of the internet and cable TV, there will be less rallies and motorcades.
"The crooked candidates are already hiring professionals to dominate and maybe even control the social media. But such is the power of social media that netizens will be able to beat the candidates with unexplained wealth and their criminal campaign contributors," the senator said.
Santiago claimed that U.S. President Barrack Obama relied heavily on social media, which later helped him to win the Nobel Prize. The senator said that during her 1992 presidential campaign, she had to rely on her team of volunteers, who were mostly young people.
"In 1992, I had no money, so I merely relied on the energy and courage of young people. My volunteers had to beg for rejected wood from lumber yards and build the campaign stage, which sometimes crashed to the ground because it was overcrowded. Meanwhile, my opponents rented their crowds and even paid people to attend their rallies," the senator said.
Santiago believes that in the succeeding elections, there will be less rallies and motorcades since the political campaign will be staged on social media.
"Today, social media has changed the rules of the game. Anyone can participate in the extended debate to distinguish the truth from the propaganda of moneyed candidates," the senator said. In her speech, Santiago urged on the youth to continue to use social media to fight candidates with "immoral wealth." The senator also said that the best test for the 2016 presidential elections would be a presidential debate.
"Today is a far cry from the past. I endorse a presidential debate, because the best test for leadership is intellectual, not financial," Santiago concluded.

White Chocolate & Cherry Brownies
Ingredients - makes16
I've updated this to make the cherries optional so that I can enter this recipe into Made With Love Mondays where the aim is to create recipes from scratch without any processed ingredients. Glacé cherries don't fit in with the guidelines due to the high fructose syrup used in their production but I want to share this recipe with a wider audience, hence the optional cherries.
200g unsalted butter
200g dark chocolate
250g caster sugar
3 eggs
115g plain flour
50g chopped glacé cherries - optional
100g white chocolate chopped into chunks
Preheat the oven to 190C and grease and line a 22cm square brownie tin. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large saucepan over a low heat. In a bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar. Let the chocolate cool slightly before beating in the egg mixture. Fold in the flour with the cherries and white chocolate and pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the surface is set and just starting to crack and the centre is still gooey. Leave to cool in the tin before dividing into portions.
I'm entering these into Tea Time Treats hosted by Karen and Kate where the theme this month is chocolate and into Made With Love Mondays
