I'm not ready to take my coffee black. In fact, only within the last few years have I grown to appreciate any type of coffee drink. I began my humble ascent into the coffee world by ordering 1/2 coffee and 1/2 hot chocolate at Canadian favourite Tim Horton's. While I will always love my Timmy's, I have grown to appreciate the many options out there and as luck would have it, Vancouver is not lacking when it comes to getting caffeinated! Here are five of my favourite places to get a great coffee in Vancouver:
Not only does a Spanish latte sound much fancier than a regular latte, it's much sweeter! A Spanish latte is made with steamed condensed milk and gives the latte a extra thickness which is especially comforting in the morning. As for the latte art, that's not something I'll ever get tired of! It looks so effortless, but it's definitely a skill.
Kafka's has a great vibe and perfectly fits with the Main Street (Mount Pleasant) scene. They do coffee properly and you can smell that very fact as soon as you walk in off Main Street!
Where to find it:
2525 Main Street
For a different experience, Thierry is your choice. It's a French pattisserie, chocolaterie and cafe all rolled into one. It also has an incredible heated outdoor patio that allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown Vancouver at any point during the year with a macaron or three of your choice!
Where to find it:
1059 Alberni street
JJ Bean
JJ Bean is a Vancouver success story and worthy of any conversation about finding some fancy art in latte form. JJ Bean has been roasting coffee beans for almost 70 years and supplies cafes and restaurants across Canada. But when it comes to actual JJ Bean cafes, one can be found all over Vancouver. Although it's a chain, it has that independent cafe feel with its rustic design and comforting feel. I had a great mocha latte at the Commercial Drive location.
Where to find it:
Multiple locations in Vancouver, North Vancouver and Port Moody
Continential Cafe
This next drink doesn't quite fall into the coffee category, but it does have caffeine! A London Fog is a nice compromise to a fancy latte without the coffee taste. Consisting of steamed milk, boiling water, a shot of vanilla syrup and Earl Gray tea, it is a perfect lazy weekend afternoon drink but really, works at any time of the day.
A great London Fog can be found at Continental Cafe. My particular London Fog was at their new Main Street location, but they've had a presence in Vancouver for years with their Commercial Drive cafe being around since 1979. And it's rumored that Vancouver is the birthplace of the London Fog!
Where to find it:
1806 Commercial Drive
4295 Main Street
Thomas Haas
While getting a bolt of caffeine in your day is much needed, sometimes there is nothing more comforting than a decadent cup of hot chocolate. Luckily Thomas Haas has settled in Vancouver and offers that and much more! It's overwhelming (in a good way) to your senses when you step into his chocolate palace. Macarons, beautiful chocolates and a selection of various confections make you lose focus. When you gather yourself, you notice the cakes and the almond croissants that makes you forget all about the chocolate ones!
I went with the Aztec hot chocolate and an almond croissant. The Aztec promised to have a little kick as it's made with chipotle and ancho chilies. The almond croissant had all the sliced almonds you could ask for. Inside was a rich almond paste that you wish you could have every single day on your morning toast. Needless to say, I was not let down. And that heart, that was the "pièce de résistance."
Where to find it:
2539 West Broadway
Unit 128, 998 Harbourside Drive (North Vancouver)
Whatever your preference, fancy latte, fancy tea or very fancy hot chocolate, Vancouver has got you covered!

Catherine Reynolds doesn't need to make any more New Year's resolutions about fitness or diet.
The 29-year-old married mother of two has already changed her life.
"It's a long road. It's nothing that happens over night. To be successful it has to become a habit," Reynolds explained recently.
She knows too well the frustration that comes with resolving to make drastic change: "I wouldn't lose 50 pounds in two weeks and then I'd give up. Or there would be an excuse - it wasn't convenient or there wasn't enough time to eat healthy or exercise."
Then she spotted an ad in the Northwest Explorer last year announcing a competition for a year of free membership and personal training at two Anytime Fitness centers.
Reynolds was one of nearly 100 people who submitted 500-word essays on how winning would change their lives. She was one of six selected; three at each gym.
"I realized if I didn't do something I was going to end up being obese, and not being able to experience life with my kids," she said.
As of early this month, she had lost 45 pounds. "I've gone from a 16 to a size 8, occasionally I wear a 6 or even a 4."
She'd also progressed from struggling with a few modified pushups to finishing 27 standard pushups and 28 modified ones in one minute.
Her perspective also changed. "I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old, both little girls, and what's amazing for me is it's so normal for them to see mommy go to the gym... and that she picks out foods that are healthy.
"To instill that in them at such a young age is really important to me," Reynolds said.
"There are no quick fixes," said Mike Urbanski, who owns the Oro Valley location where Reynolds trained.
He coached the Salpointe Catholic High School's successful track and field and cross country teams for 15 years.
Coaching is also what he most enjoys at Anytime Fitness, the gym that he and his wife, Gail, opened at 7937 N. Oracle Road last December.
"We wanted to offer a place for total wellness, not just to lose weight," he said.
The six Anytime Fitness gyms in the Tucson area have teamed up to launch the Anytime Fitness Resolution Day 5K on Tuesday.
The event, which includes a family health and fitness expo, will benefit Grow2bfit, a local nonprofit foundation started to help teach families how to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and reduce childhood obesity.
"People thinking about making healthy lifestyle changes can not only participate in a healthy activity, but also get information about nutrition and other kinds of ways that they can take better care of themselves," he said.
As of Wednesday morning, nearly 300 had signed up for the 5K.
"People don't have to come just to run. Anyone can walk in the mile fun run. It can be a personal statement people can make to themselves that they are starting the New Year in a healthy way," Urbanski said.
If you go

|The 'Spirited Community': with Jura, Olympus & Chromasia
If you enter just one photography competition this year, make sure it's the 'Spirited Community' competition organised by the by the Isle of Jura (one of the Southern Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland).
All you need to do is submit a photograph and 50 word description of why it captures a sense of community spirit.
For the next eight weeks, the photo that gets the most public votes during that week will win the photographer:
- An Olympus VG-170 camera.
- A bottle of Jura 16 year old single malt whisky.
- A 12 month subscription to David's online Photography and Post-production tutorials.
At the end of the competition the three overall winners (one from the UK, one from the US, and one from the rest of the world) will win:
- A week's all-expenses trip to the Isle of Jura, including a stay in the exclusive Jura Lodge and a VIP tour of the Jura distillery and island.
- An Olympus PEN E-PL3 camera.
- A one-day photography workshop on the island provided by David.
You can jump straight to the competition website below, or read on for the full press release.
If you do submit an image, please leave a comment to let us know.
About the Competition
Three budding amateur photographers are being offered the chance to win an unforgettable trip to the island of Jura, off Scotland's dramatic West Coast. The island is famed for its small and close-knit community of less than 200, united by the island they love and the warmth of its people. The walls of the Distillery Visitor Centre are adorned with photos of Diurachs (the Gaelic name for the people of Jura) past and present, who have all played their part in contributing to the island's famous community spirit.
To experience Jura's island life for themselves, amateur photographers are invited to submit photographs that best tell a story of community spirit. These images could include photos of groups or individuals that evoke the spirit of the neighbourhood in which they live, or even photos of festivals and events that conjure the character of a particular place.
Each one of the three winners and their partners will enjoy a week's all-expenses stay in the exclusive Jura Lodge and a VIP tour of the Jura distillery and island. The winners will also receive an Olympus PEN E-PL3 camera to create a lasting memento of their visit to Jura, and a photography workshop on the island from award-winning photographer David Nightingale.
To enter, applicants must upload a photo that captures community spirit onto an e-postcard template along with a description in 50 words or less of why that picture tells a story of community spirit. Jura will assess a shortlist of the very best 'postcards' and pick three lucky winners – one from North America, one from the UK and a third from the rest of the world.
The competition, which can be found by visiting www.jurawhisky.com/communityspirit, opens on Monday, 11 June and will run for eight weeks, closing on Friday, 3 August.
Entrants are encouraged to share their e-postcards with friends and family. Every week for eight weeks, Jura will be awarding an Olympus VG-170 camera and a bottle of Jura 16 year old to the photo which receives the most public votes during the course of that week."
About the Isle of Jura
There are four classic bottlings in the Jura Collection: Origin 10, Superstition, Diurach's Own and Prophecy. Many of the Jura whiskies have their own distinctive drinking rituals, but one cuts across the range. Islanders believe that it brings good fortune to knock on wood before they drink a dram.
For those who love the great outdoors, Jura is an idyllic place. Its three 'Paps' – or mountains – dominate the skyline, distinguishable from miles around and the focus for the tough Jura Fells Race which takes place every May. For those who like to explore, whether by foot, bike or yacht, there is a wealth of historical sites and natural phenomena to discover, from stone circles and standing stones to ruined castles and Iron Age forts; from sandy beaches and secluded coves to stacks, pinnacles and caves, as well as raised beaches from the Ice Age. Golden eagles, sea eagles, otters, seals and, not forgetting the 5,000 red deer which inhabit the island, are all a common sight, and carry on about their business uninhibited by humans."

GOODE becomes Founding Board Member of Local Progress
City Councilman W. Wilson Goode, Jr. traveled to the nation's capital this weekend to discuss innovative ways that elected officials around the country are strengthening their local economies. Councilman Goode joined dozens of other officials from over thirty small towns and large cities to participate in the creation of Local Progress, a new national municipal policy network dedicated to "broadly-shared prosperity, equal justice under law, sustainable and livable cities, and good government that serves the public interest effectively."
Goode serves as a Founding Board Member of Local Progress, and moderated the first policy discussion.
"I had a tremendous weekend meeting passionate public servants from around the country," Goode said. "I was excited to both moderate and participate in a panel discussion on Economic Justice and to present my policy work. We had an exciting exchange of ideas on issues such as living wage jobs and community benefit agreements."
Participants began the gathering with the discussion on the creation of good jobs. "We kicked it off with lively presentations about how cities can foster smart economic growth," said Nick Licata, the Seattle City Councilmember who is chairing the Local Progress network. "Everyone agreed that we have to build an economy where workers are paid a living wage with adequate benefits, sick leave, and the security they need to support their families."
The municipal legislators spoke optimistically about their vision for the coming decades. "A broad coalition of voters sent a powerful message on election day," said Faith Winter, a councilmember from Westminster, CO. "Voters want government that works in the public interest – not just the interest of multinational corporations – and that treats everyone with the respect and dignity they deserve."
The attendees said they planned to continue sharing effective policy ideas over the coming months and years. "We're building a national movement for a more fair and just economy," said Goode,"and we're off to an amazing start."

Kudos on this
This is a great start for serious study of issues that will re-empower our urban areas, and take back their rightful place in culture, economy, and society. I hope that Local Progress can hold a conference in Philadelphia, so we can learn from our colleagues across the country.

Google's elegant white homepage went basic black Saturday to draw attention to an environmental
campaign called Earth Hour.
The website, which is known for tinkering with its logo for various holidays, switched its entire homepage color scheme and posted a simple message below its search box: "We've turned
the lights out. Now it's your turn."
The official Earth Hour page explains the idea behind Saturday's environmental event: "On March
29, 2008, at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change
by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund."
Will Google stay black? Nope — because there's no reason to, according to a note on the site. "As to why we don't do this
permanently — it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they
display," says Google.

A new computer-aided detection (CAD) system can help radiologists detect polyps in colons that contain contrast-enhanced fluid, says a new study that appears in the January 2005 issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
"As far as I know, we are the first to publish a CAD algorithm to find polyps submerged in contrast-enhanced colonic fluid; other CAD algorithms do not yet deal with this problem," said Ronald M. Summers, MD, PhD, of the National Institutes of Health and lead author of the study. The benefits to the patient of having such a system as an option is that fewer polyps will be missed and the patient's risk of developing colorectal cancer will be reduced, Dr. Summers said.
For the study, the researchers analyzed 17 patients who each had at least one proven colon polyp that was submerged in contrast-enhanced fluid, for a total of 22 polyps. The CAD system was able to find 19 of the polyps.
"The CAD algorithm can actually be used for the air-filled areas of the colon in addition to the fluid-filled portions, so that polyps surrounded by air, fluid or both can also be detected," said Dr. Summers. The study authors describe the algorithm like a porpoise, that "jumps" from air present in the colon to fluid present in the colon and back again until all portions of the colon are identified.

What is the Jon Gabriel Method?
Jon Gabriel is well known in the media, I am sure most people have seen him on TV or just the before and after pictures (you can see them on the right of this page) where he lost an incredible amount of weight.
He has written a book which outlines his "system" and also recorded a CD with a "visualization" which you can use. The main principal behind the system is that the your mind has an image of the size of your body, so, really, no matter what you do in terms of eating or dieting, you will end up the same size.
I can relate to this, as I have been overweight pretty much since I left High School and over that time, have gone on many diets and exercise programs, however, I always seem to end up at a similar size. I have been thinking this sort of thing myself, so, its been easy for me to relate to Jon's book.
The main principal, is to visualize your perfect body result, then eat healthy foods – supplemented by a few things like Fish Oil and Multivitamins. You don't have to Diet as such, the visualizations help you to actually crave healthy foods – I have read many posts on his forum that confirm this – like:
"My cravings for Grains, starches and dairy dropped drastically to the point
where if I did not eat these things"
"After listening to the CD for just two nights I completely lost the urge to binge between meals: it just vanished."
What Do You Get?
The book itself is 198 pages long, is divided into 5 parts:
- Part 1 – The Principles
- Part 2 – Nonphysical Stresses that Activate the FAT Programs
- Part 3 – Physical Stresses that Activate the FAT Programs
- Part 4 – Positive Forces that Make Your Body Want to Be Thin
- Part 5 – Making it Happen for You
FAT Program stands for "Famine and Temperature", meaning the mind preparing you for Famine and/or Temperature – its fully explained in the book. You also get an Audio CD with a 2 minute introduction and a 20 minute Visualuation. You also get access to a Forum which is interesting – here is just one quote from the forum:
"Hi all, I have to say so far I have had great success since starting the GM method. I had originally 20kgs to lose, Aussie size 18. Its so easy to discount small amounts of weight loss, and so to keep with theme of visualization I decided to take it one step further. I'm lucky I guess because I am a very visual being. I have lost around 5.8kgs so whilst doing the shopping I decided to look for a 5 kg bags of spuds. When I found it I took a good look at it,theres a lot of spuds in there, and then picked it up! OM goodness, it really hit home then how much heavier my body was and how much 5 extra kilos can mean to your daily lifestyle (or not)"
CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE FORUM (bottom right of page)
Who Will Benefit From This Most?
Anybody like me, who has tried many Diets and Exercise Programs should give this a try. The following quote from the book says is all for me:
"Let's face: if diets worked there'd be one diet (maybe two), everyone would go on it, everyone would lose weight, and that would be the end of it."
The Bottom Line
Although I have not started to implement the system yet, its a great read – very interesting and seems to make a lot of sense. Its a relatively small investment to buy the book, you are advised to invest in some supplements, such as Omega 3 and Multivitamins, but we should probably doing that anyway.

ASEAN may lure 80 billion USD in FDI
(VNA - 09/07/2011) - FDI flow into ASEAN may reach 80 billion USD a year after the ASEAN Economic Community comes into being in 2015.
Illustrative image (Source: internet)
ASEAN Deputy Secretary General Puspanathan Sundram made the prediction at a press briefing in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia right after the ASEAN Trade Ministers' Dialogue with the Federation of Japanese Chambers of Commerce and Industry in ASEAN (FJCCIA).
He said by facilitating trade, connectivity and transport and focusing on human resources and skilled workers, ASEAN would draw in 3.4 percent of the current FDI in the world.
At present, Japan is ASEAN's largest FDI provider, registering 5.2 billion USD in 2009 which made up 13.4 percent of the total FDI in the region.
The FJCCIA Chief said Japan considered ASEAN as a strategic market and a large production centre.
At the dialogue, participants discussed the implementation of the ASEAN Free Trade Area and measures to lift trade barriers to boost economic cooperation./.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Memories of the worst school shooting in U.S. history at Virginia Tech came flooding back when the campus locked down after reports of a man with a gun.
The university on Thursday issued the longest, most extensive lockdown and search on campus since the 2007 massacre. It came after three teenage girls attending a summer camp on campus reported to university police that they saw a man with a possible gun as they walked to the dining hall.
The school lifted the lockdown more than five hours later after a search for such a man was unsuccessful and police had no real leads.
University spokesman Larry Hincker says all alerting systems worked without a hitch and issuing such a warning was necessary.

^^^^^^^^^as smart as you sound to be, you should have an idea what a rotation mass/inertia is, this is not a daily drive and this car will be much lighter than a R32, so there is no reason to add a 12.3'' or 13'' brake kit to it. a good brake pads set, brake lines and good brake fluid will do the trick.

I think the reason why the disks you got didn't fit was cause it's from the FWD tt. what you need is solid rears off an audi tt with quattro since they share the same suspension as the Rs.
According to the FAQ, "180q (12.3"/9.4", vented front/solid rear)" 180hp quattro brakes is what you're looking to get instead of the wrong "FWD (12.3"/9.1", solid)" which you bought.
hope this helps!

The Saint Louis University Wellness Initiative was developed based on the understanding that each of us consists of a body, mind and soul, all of which require care and nourishment. When one area of a person's life is out of balance, all areas are affected. Neglect of any of these vital aspects of self may lead to difficulties in finding success and fulfillment as a student and a member of the SLU community.
Browse through this site to explore ways you can develop all six dimensions of wellness (emotional, physical, intellectual, social, occupational, spiritual) with the goal of achieving greater personal wellness.
Please note: If this is a medical emergency please call 911 immediately. If you are in immediate danger please call 911.
Students should know that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for college students, and the main reason is untreated depression.
There are more than 1,100 suicides on U.S. college campuses every year. According to the American Psychological Association, depression as a college illness has increased about 10 percent over the last 10 years.
Some common signs of depression are:
If you or someone you know are experiencing these symptoms please reach out for help:
Or reach out to an RA or Residence Hall staff member on campus.
You may also contact the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
For more information check out these websites or call the University Counseling Center:
A Suicide Prevention Workshop called C(QLC), Compassionate Questioning, Learning and Connecting, will be offered monthly on campus and can also be requested for your department or organization.
For student care providers, be sure and download SAMHSA's new suicide prevention mobile app, Suicide Safe.
Studies have shown that as many as 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men will experience sexual assault in their lifetime (USDOJ). The college environment presents many opportunities for sexual assault to occur. Read on to learn more about sexual assault and how to prevent it from happening on our campus.
Facts on Sexual Assault
What is Consent?
It's pretty simple. Yes means Yes. A verbal yes or an enthusiastic physical response may warrant consent.
Here is when consent cannot be given:
And remember, consent for one sexual activity does not imply consent for all sexual activities.

College students make up one of the largest groups of drug abusers nationwide. Young people (ages 18 to 24) are already at a heightened risk of addiction, and those who are enrolled in a full-time college program are twice as likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.
The aim of this section is to give you the right information so you can make healthy, informed decisions regarding alcohol and drug use.
Things to Consider Before Consuming Alcohol or Drugs
Facebook, Instagram, Movies, TV. They often show people partying, having the time of their lives, meeting a partner, dancing, all while consuming large amounts of alcohol. What they don't show is the reality- binge drinking (see below for definition) and heavy alcohol use can lead to serious consequences:

Alcohol Facts
First, if you are under 21 in the United States it is illegal to drink alcohol. On campus, if found to be drinking, you could face sanctions for violating University policies.
What is a drink?
The size of a container is not the best way to measure "a" drink. To make lower risk choices and to try to avoid negative consequences as a result of drinking choices, you need to know what common servings of alcohol look like.
Drinks that are the size of the above measurements are a little more than the average amount of alcohol that the body can metabolize in one hour. So generally speaking, your body can metabolize one drink per hour. Shots are drinks too- every shot you take counts as a drink- keep this in mind when drinking.
What is BAC or Blood Alcohol Concentration?
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is a measure of the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream. A BAC of .20 means 2 drops of alcohol for 1,000 drops of blood. It is important to understand the factors that affect BAC and how the effects of drinking alcohol vary among individuals. Keep in mind that the impairment experienced at any blood alcohol level is dependent on one's tolerance to alcohol. Tolerance is a measure of how sensitive a person is to alcohol's effects. The higher our tolerance, the less able we are to tell when we are impaired. Therefore, those with a low tolerance to alcohol will notice effects at lower BACs, while those with a higher tolerance will notice them somewhat later.
What is binge drinking? NIAAA defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels to 0.08 g/dL. This typically occurs after 4 drinks for women and 5 drinks for men-in about 2 hours. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which conducts the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), defines binge drinking as drinking 5 or more alcoholic drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days.
Signs of Alcohol Poisoning
If you choose to go out and drink, follow these tips to stay safe:
For more information see: http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/OtherAlcoholInformation/factsAboutAlcoholPoisoning.aspx

DrugsMarijuana, "study drugs", pain killers, and ecstasy (also known as MDMA) are the most common drugs abused by college students. All of these drugs are risky to take, including prescription drugs (when they are not prescribed to you).
Check out the resources below to learn more about the risk and consequences of these drugs.
What IS Mental Health?
Generally, good mental health involves having a sense of wellbeing, confidence and self esteem. Those with good mental health generally have a positive outlook on life and keep balanced, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Good mental health enables us to fully enjoy and appreciate other people, day-to-day life and our environment.
How can we improve our mental health?
What might trigger a mental health crisis?
College can be very stressful and might be the first time you've had to deal with new and difficult concerns:
You are not alone!
There are many resources on and off campus to assist you if any of these concerns arise. Reach out to a counselor at the University Counseling Center directly or one of your coaches or an athletics staff member can help guide you. The University Counseling Center provides free counseling services as well as a variety of educational programs for all Saint Louis University students.
We believe in a basic truth about wellness - when you feel well, in mind, body and spirit, you function well. Unfortunately, things don't always go as smoothly as you would like and even little things (and sometimes big ones) can get in the way of doing well and feeling your best.
The direct line to the University Counseling Center during normal business hours is (314) 977-7192. Appointments are available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (occasionally, there may be later appointment times available). A counselor is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and can be reached at (314) 977-8255 for a medical or mental health emergency. Please do not hesitate to call.

What if I think my friend needs help?
It's definitely not unusual to get a little anxious and stressed out while trying to balance school, work and relationships - so it can be tough to tell if a friend is just dealing with the everyday challenges of life or struggling with a larger problem. A friend in trouble might need professional help to develop better coping and stress management skills, or they may be dealing with illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders that generally require attention and treatment.
Sometimes a decline in emotional health can lead to isolation and the person suffering may become very secretive in order to hide the problem. If you see a friend "drop off the face of the earth" or behave unusually, it could be a sign of a problem. It is important to try to make contact so you can assess if any warning signs are present. This PDF covers many of the early signs that go hand in hand with common mental health issues experienced by college students.
*Important* If you believe a peer is in need of mental health attention, please reach out to a counselor at the University Counseling Center, an RA, a Campus Minister, or the Dean of Students office. Do not attempt to deal with a difficult mental health situation without the support of trained professionals. And remember, offering support/getting help is the best thing you can do for someone you care about.
Remember, you are not alone at SLU. If you, or a friend, are in need of help please do not hesitate to call any of these resources:

Healthy Relationships: 5 Key Components
Self Esteem
How I feel about myself. When I have positive self-esteem, I can accept feedback from others. When I respect my own thoughts, feelings, and needs, I can balance them with the feelings and needs of my friends and partners.
How I express myself with others. In relationships, good communication involves the ability to share feelings and ideas. It also involves being a good listener. It is important to be aware of our words, thoughts, and gestures-even when we disagree with others.
All relationships have rules that help us connect with each other. Agreeing to be respectful, honest, and accountable as friends or as partners helps build and maintain trust in relationships.
We each have many relationships or links with others. Examples include links in our community, our school, and with our family. No single relationship should isolate us from other relationships.
Relationships involve "give and take" on both sides. When one person is always giving and the other is always receiving, it is likely that one person will develop more power or control in the relationship. Healthy relationships work towards a balance.
Your Relationship is Healthy If...
Signs of An Abusive Relationship
The following is a list of warnings signs for potentially abusive relationships. They are presented as guidelines and cues to pay attention to, not as judgments on the worth of the other person.
Exercise, Good Nutrition and Plenty of Sleep are all part of a great self care routine. All of these practices help every aspect of your life: your academics, your physical health, your skin health, your relationships, and more. There are so many benefits to taking care of yourself, but when you come to college sometimes it is hard to stay on track. Follow these tips to be the best you!
According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, healthy adults should get a minimum of 2-1/2 hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or a minimum of 1-1/4 hours per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or a combination of the two, in addition to 2 days of muscle strengthening a week. ( Ideally this would be a graphic- like a Colored rectangle with this info in there)
Make sure you create time in your schedule specifically for exercise. Remember, the habits you create now will stick with you when you get older. Make exercise a part of your routine now!
There are many ways you can get your exercise in on campus:

What is this program about?
The foundation of our Peer Education Program is based upon research that shows that peers educating peers is the most effective form of education on many sensitive or personal topics. This method allows for students to gain responsibility and leadership experience within their community while engaging their peers and educating the campus at large on many topics surrounding health and wellness. We focus on several major topics: Mental Health & Suicide Prevention, Sexual Health & Sexual Assault Prevention, General Wellness (self care, sleep, stress, exercise), and Alcohol & Drug Awareness, and we actively strive to educate with a holistic approach to the college experience supported by a strong Bystander Intervention model. Our program strives to empower others with educational programming that is both necessary and important, but maintains the fun and exciting college experience. In short, peer education is the enhancement of our university community by students and for students.
Peer Educators do classroom presentations, plan and implement fun events on campus and bring in nationally known speakers.
Who are the peer educators?
1st year students. Graduate students. Transfer students. Commuter students. Seniors. Anyone and everyone imaginable can be a part of this group! We are composed of like-minded and focused campus leaders who wish to make the SLU community a healthy community . Whether you are a veteran campus leader, or if this is your first college-level involvement, SLU Wellness Peer Education has the perfect niche for you!
Why we do what we do
The college experience is as variable as one chooses to make it. However, one thing remains constant among students: the opportunity to work, live, and learn in a safe and healthy community. Therefore, it is our goal with SLU Wellness and Peer Education to continually challenge the student body to provide a safe and healthy community that promotes equity and understanding while fostering personal development.
How you can do it too
If you are interested in joining our team there are many ways to gather more information! Come to a Wellness Resource Fair, attend a SLU Wellness sponsored program or speaker, stop by our office (Wuller 212A), send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, find us on Facebook, or just talk to one of our current peer educators!
Learn this five-step approach to Step UP! and intervene when someone around you is in need.
What is bystander intervention? Bystander intervention is a straightforward concept that simply means that in any given situation, there are people who may observe what is happening and be in a position to prevent an incident. Actions can be small, like asking a friend to stop making sexist jokes. Actions can be on a larger scale, like organizing an educational program for campus that helps facilitate understanding about sexual assault. It might also mean intervening or getting help if you see a troubling situation among friends or even strangers.

School of Authentic Argentine Tango
School directors Diego Di Falco and Carolina Zokalski spent years dancing in Buenos Aires before they launched their professional dancing careers at the age of 20 by landing roles in the touring production of Forever Tango. When the show made its way to the U.S., the two became two of the youngest tango dancers in history to make it to Broadway. Like a puppy at show-and-tell, they earned enthusiastic acclaim, eventually picking up a Tony nomination for their choreography. These achievements were only the beginning of careers that graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Marquis Theatre, the Hollywood Bowl, and other esteemed venues.
Their reputations secured, Carolina and Diego turned to sharing the art of Argentinian dance with students, which they do today at Summit's Twin Maples mansion, a neoclassical home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside, the hardwood dance floor is lit by chandeliers and accented by classical touches such as crown molding and bronze curtain rods, giving one the sense of dancing at a presidential ball or in a really, really fancy broom closet. There, the pair strives to make each step as authentic as possible by importing traditional music and guest artists directly from Argentina for the classes, workshops, and performances they helm.

Whittingham named distinguished professor
May 14, 2012Tweet
M. Stanley Whittingham, professor of chemistry and of materials science, has recently been appointed to the rank of distinguished professor — the highest system honors conferred upon SUNY faculty. He joins more than 70 Binghamton University faculty who have achieved distinguished rank.
Promotion to distinguished professor is reserved for those who have achieved national or international prominence and a distinguished reputation within his or her discipline.
Whittingham came to Binghamton University in 1988 after 16 years at Exxon Research and Engineering Company and Schlumberger-Doll Research. In his 30-plus year career, he has been a pioneer in the development of lithium ion batteries and his work has been called foundational by colleagues at all levels. He holds the original patent on the concept of the use of intercalation chemistry in high-power density, highly reversible lithium batteries – work that provided the basis for subsequent discoveries that now power most laptop computers – and his research has been called 'world-leading.'
"It's a nice honor to have toward the end of your career," said Whittingham of the distinguished ranking.
As director of the Northeastern Chemical Energy Storage Center (NECESC) that operates out of Stony Brook − one of 46 research centers established by the Department of Energy and funded with a five-year, $17 million grant – he expects to continue his research at least through the end of the grant. "We're basically building a fundamental understanding of electrochemical energy storage. There has been little funding in recent years, so this is helping us decide our ultimate limitations. What can we hope for?
"I just had my 70th birthday and with another two-and-half years to go, I think we can make some big strides in energy in that time," he said. "I've taken more of the leadership role nationwide, involving nine units around the U.S. I'm still deeply involved scientifically."
With more than 200 publications in some of the leading scholarly journals and 16 patents, Whittingham has earned a national and international reputation as a prolific scientist.
His research in the area of synthesis and characterization of novel transition metal oxides for energy storage and conversion, separations or as sensors has been continuously supported since his arrival in Binghamton with over $7 million in federal research grants from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.
At Binghamton, Whittingham has also helped to establish the Materials Science and Engineering Program, bringing his creativity and innovation to the University's graduate curriculum as well as to its laboratories.
Since joining the faculty at Binghamton, Whittingham has sustained his ground-breaking research. Working a great deal with ambient temperature, he and his research group emphasize novel approaches to synthesis which often allow structures to be formed that are unstable under the high temperatures normally used for preparing oxides.
He has been recognized by his peers with two major awards in recent years. In 2002, he was honored with the Battery Research Award of the Electrochemical Society for his many contributions to "Intercalation Chemistry and Battery Materials," and two years later he was elected a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society.
He has also participated in, and held leadership positions in, the American Chemical Society, the American Physical Society, the Electrochemical Society and the Materials Research Society; served on the editorial boards of several journals including Chemistry of Materials and the Materials Research Bulletin. He was also the founder and principle editor of the journal Solid State Ionics – one of the two major journals in the field.
Whittingham earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Oxford University, United Kingdom before coming to the United States as a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University.

A couple weeks ago, I signed a contract with O'Reilly to publish a book inspired by my extremely popular Creating An Application In Kivy blog series. On Monday, I start work at Facebook, a full-time salaried position that includes a substantial raise over my last position.
Signing these two contracts, two very traditional ways of obtaining money in exchange for services, is in stark contrast to the excitement I have held for the Gittip project. I marketed (some might say 'begged') for Gittip contributions in return for the service I performed in writing the Kivy articles. Gittip provided; I really didn't expect to make more than a couple dollars per week, but my current income from Gittip is over $11 per week. I'm touched and grateful for these donations, and I don't feel I deserve them at all, considering that I'll be spending most of my time on my new book and job for the next few months.
It would be easy to argue that Gittip has failed. If I had somehow made more money off Gittip, I might have chosen to publish a book under a creative commons license or through other platforms, rather than signing a traditional book contract. If I was making so much money off Gittip that I could have laughed off Facebook's salary and stayed out of the horrifically over-priced silicon valley, the open source world (and Facebook's competitors!) would certainly have benefited.
However, there is a better way to look at this. I have committed (to myself) to contribute a substantial portion of the royalties from my new book back to the Kivy team. I will naturally use Gittip to distribute these funds. I am also planning to increase my funding of other projects out of my Facebook salary, and I'll be using Gittip to fund the Arch Linux development team (if they ever set one up on Gittip) out of the income I already make from Arch Linux Schwag.
I believe one of the biggest problems Gittip has to solve is not increasing it's member base, but increasing the amount of money being injected into the system. If small tips are just moving from one open source developer to another and back again (I've gotten into the unfortunate habit of regifting everything I make plus a few dollars), the money really has no value. It is a small gesture, but it's not something that can be turned into food on the table if everyone just turns around and gives it away. I would definitely like to live a life, someday, where my writing and coding activities are exciting enough to the world that my entire salary comes from Gittip. However, I think the best thing I can do for the tool right now is to put money in, rather than take it out.
So no, Gittip has not failed me. It is succeeding in a different way from what I originally anticipated. Nor am I selling out. I am excited and passionate about my current and future prospects. Gittip was designed to allow content creators to pursue their passions. I'm able to do that within the traditional framework. I'm very lucky to be able to express my gratitude for my current life in the form of microdonations to other developers.

This seems to be the first official video of touch-screen vote-flipping 2012, reportedly captured today in Pennsylvania, where elected officials so disrespect their own voters that they still force almost all of them to vote on these 100% unverifiable systems...
Congrats, and thank you to the voter who was wise enough to capture the problem on his video cell phone! He described the problem this way on the YouTube page where the video was posted:
Of course, this same sort of thing has happened every single election since 100% unverifiable touch-screen voting was forced on Americans ten years ago or so, but when it was first heavily reported by Democrats as having happened in 2004 all across the country, Republicans (and elections officials of all parties) called them "conspiracy theorists" and sore losers. Here's just a couple of examples caught on video from 2008. I've even written an entire chapter for Sonoma University's Project Censored book, Censored 2010, about the largely unreported nationwide vote-flipping epidemic during the 2008 election.
This year, it's been the Republicans who have finally decided, wisely, to be concerned about it. Last week, the GOP sent a letter [PDF] to top election officials in six different states, offering bad advice to them about what they should do, after a few unconfirmed complaints of touch-screen votes flipping from Romney to Obama were reported.
We briefly reported on the matter a few days ago this way:
Fortunately, it's being reported that the machine seen above has been taken out of service, rather than re-calibrated as so often happens, and as the GOP stupidly requested be done in such instances.
[Update: Mother Jones is now reporting that PA Dept of State officials are saying "they recalibrated the machine, did a test run, and put it back online." That's the dumbest thing they could do. Wonder who "fixed" it?]
All of that said, last night we offered several tips for voting today in ways that might help maximize the chances of your vote being counted and counted accurately. We included these quick tips on WHAT TO DO IF YOUR VOTE FLIPS ON A TOUCH-SCREEN MACHINE:

After AMD: Intel's Next Big Battleby
Intel (INTC) couldn't afford to let it drag on. The world's largest chipmaker announced on Nov. 12 that it would pay $1.25 billion to resolve allegations by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) that its larger rival competes unfairly in the market for computer chips. On one hand, the agreement lets Intel and AMD move past the conflict that's put the companies at legal loggerheads for years, and it may help Intel resolve ongoing antitrust tussles with U.S. regulators. But a more important benefit of the agreement is that it lets Intel turn attention to what may become an even greater headache in the coming years: the challenge posed by ARM Holdings (ARM.L), maker of the technology used in chips running in a widening array of mobile devices, including the Apple (AAPL) iPhone. Intel "now gets to focus on its real long-term threat," says Jack Gold, founder of Gold Associates, a research firm. "No, it's not AMD—it's ARM Holdings." A host of chipmakers, including Qualcomm (QCOM), Texas Instruments (TXN), Freescale (FSL), and Nvidia (NVDA), license ARM technology to create chips for handhelds, phones, and other mobile devices. ARM-based chips are valued because they consume less power than the x86-based chips, which are made by Intel and AMD and power most of the world's computers and servers, the machines that run corporate networks. PC and server chips make up the majority of industry profits today. Still, demand for server chips may diminish as businesses replace large numbers of aging servers in data centers with a single server powered by fewer, more powerful chips. Meantime, demand is surging for mobile devices, many of which don't require the computing power of relatively pricey x86 chips. Getting past the distraction of the AMD lawsuits helps Intel place greater emphasis on sales in markets now being inundated with ARM technology, says TBR analyst John Spooner. "For some time, Intel has been preparing to reduce its reliance on the PC and server processor market, which now supplies more than 90% of its quarterly revenue," Spooner says. "The chipmaker has been realigning itself to expand its revenue base into graphics, handsets, and consumer electronics." Countering Claims of Monopolist PracticesThe benefits of Intel's agreement don't end there. Through the settlement with AMD, Intel silences the loudest voice accusing it of abusive behavior while at the same time keeping alive one of its most formidable competitors. The settlement in effect subsidizes AMD's plan to reduce debt, spin off cash-intensive manufacturing operations, and boost its research and development on new chips. Over time, that means a stronger AMD and helps Intel counter claims it wields too much power in the industry, says Richard Doherty, a director at market researcher Envisioneering Group. "They can argue it helps the whole league if you have two teams playing well," Doherty says. Historically the companies thrive under pressure from each other, with engineers at one racing to top the archrival's designs. Even now, Intel and AMD are duking it out for the lead in combining computing and graphic-intensive functions onto a single chip. Neither expects to begin selling such a product until late 2010 at the earliest. Intel continues to face litigation and scrutiny from regulatory bodies over allegedly anticompetitive practices. Most recently, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said Intel illegally used billions of dollars in payments to dissuade computer makers from using AMD chips. AMD and other critics say the largesse limits AMD's market share gains. The Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission are also examining Intel's pricing practices. AMD agreed to drop its own civil lawsuit and said it will stop pushing regulators to closely examine the larger chipmaker's marketing practices. But the smaller chipmaker said it will continue to object to them if asked or subpoenaed by regulators for comment. CEO Paul S. Otellini denies Intel has done anything illegal. "Throughout this process, we have not wavered in our contention that Intel acted within the boundaries of the law," Otellini said during a conference call. Other, Pending LitigationThe FTC, which had been expected to file a lawsuit before yearend, doesn't have the authority to level fines, but can push for changes in corporate behavior. In the agreement announced Nov. 12, Intel agreed to certain practice changes that might mollify the FTC. Under terms of the agreement, Intel must train its sales organization to follow new ground rules of competition with AMD. Those rules bar Intel from placing conditions on sales that would block AMD from the market. The two companies will meet monthly to discuss disputes, and each must abide the ruling of a mediator who would settle irresolvable issues. The outcome of the New York lawsuit, filed on Nov. 4, is more difficult to predict. It was likely to draw on testimony presented in an AMD lawsuit that's now been dropped. As a result, Cuomo could withdraw his lawsuit—or hold out for a cash settlement. Earlier this year, the European Commission fined Intel €1.06 billion ($1.45 billion) related to allegations that the company abused its monopoly position in the European market for computer chips. "Intel has an ongoing obligation to comply with the Commission's May 2009 decision," a European Union spokesman said in a statement. Intel is appealing the decision, though its pricing practices are still being monitored by the EC, says Andy Bryant, Intel's chief administrative officer. AMD Free to Spin Off GlobalFoundriesIn reaching the settlement, AMD gives up the opportunity to collect billions of dollars more in damages had it won a jury trial. But it saves millions of dollars in legal fees. AMD, which has offices in Austin, Tex., and Sunnyvale, Calif., also gets badly needed cash and more room to maneuver as it tries to create more competitive offerings against Intel. The settlement also paves the way for AMD to spin off its chip-manufacturing subsidiary, GlobalFoundries. After AMD moved to become a leaner company that turns to outside parties to manufacture its chips, Intel in March threatened to withdraw a cross-licensing deal that makes it easier for PC makers to build machines based on both companies' processors. AMD now is free to go to an independent GlobalFoundries to have its chips made, saving it from bearing millions in manufacturing costs each year. Intel gets to use that same cross-licensing deal to continue to use AMD chip technology in its products. "It will take time to understand how operating conditions in the processor business have changed," AMD CEO Dirk Meyer said on a conference call. "But make no mistake, they have changed."

Colin Colahan
|Birth date:
|12 February 1897
|Birth place:
|Australia: Victoria, Woodend
|Death date:
|6 June 1987
|Death place:
|United Kingdom: England, Greater London, London
|Second World War, 1939-1945
Colin Colahan was born in 1897 at Woodend, Victoria. He began to study art in 1917 at the National Gallery School under Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin, but soon left to study under Max Meldrum, with whom he developed his distinctive style, based on Meldrum's theories of "tonal values".
In 1935 Colahan left Australia for Europe. He never returned. He worked in England for much of his career, and during the late 1930s he built a reputation in London as an excellent portrait painter. In 1941 he was recommended for the official war art scheme.
During the Second World War Colahan was commissioned in 1942 and again in 1944. He began his work in Britain, depicting the activities of the Royal Australian Air Force and Australian Forestry Units, and completing several portraits of service personnel. His ability to work quickly in the field allowed him to work directly in oil, instead of having to do sketches for paintings to be developed later in the studio. After the surrender of Germany, Colahan went to Europe to capture the changing conditions in the liberated areas. He traveled through Belgium, France and Germany, painting the celebrations of VE day, fleeing refugees, and the destruction he saw in Berlin.
Colahan remained in Britain after the Second World War, but later moved to Italy, where he continued to work as a painter and sculptor.
