My boyfriend dumped me last year. I'm over it; it's fine. The
real problem is, he bought me a REALLY nice, REALLY expensive
($100+) vibrator when we were dating. Since the dumpage I've tried
using it, but it only brings up bad memories about my ex. How can I
use the vibrator without feeling weird every
time?

Somehow I smashed the screen on my fancy and fairly new Samsung
sliding-touch phone to kingdom come, and over the next few weeks
slowly watched the light behind the screen die from where I cracked
it outwards... malignant cancer of the phone. I remember the
sinking feeling in my stomach as my text messages, contacts and
favorite Star Trek adventure game faded away into nonexistence. Now
I'm stuck with this antique pile of shit flip phone, with a
half-assed camera and T9 prediction for texts. I remember clutching
a similar one while scurrying around the halls during the early
years of high school, but at that time they were the cat's meow,
the cool thing to have.

Two days after the Massachusetts special election put health
care on the back burner in Washington (that's assuming it was even
on the front burner), Governor Jim Doyle announced a non-state
funded health-care plan for adults without dependants. The
BadgerCare Basic program would cost enrolled Wisconsin residents
$130 per month and is designed to benefit those 20,000 people
currently on the BadgerCare Plus waiting list.

Apparently, ears can be sexy. I was under the ignorant
impression that so long as your ears did not evoke childhood
memories of Dumbo's flight, stick out from your neck, or you know,
weren't there, ears were unimportant to overall attractiveness. I
know, you must be thinking, ""What rock have I been living under?""
According to Heidi Montag, one of the reality celebs that make
headlines by creating a ""situation,"" she did not have sexy ears
until she went under the knife for 10 simultaneous procedures to
perfect her body. The procedures included a neck liposuction,
breast augmentation revision and a brow lift, the but for Montag,
they do not seem to be enough. For now, it's the new year, new her,
but she claims that surgery will still be necessary down the
road.

Anything bugging you recently? Perhaps it's too early to ask
that question since we're just one week into the new semester. But
even minor stressors may disrupt a well-kept daily schedule and
cast a shadow over your bright mood in the long run. Meeting a
professional counselor just seems like making a mountain out of a
mole hill. Friends, on the other hand, are already too busy riding
in the fast lane of college life. That is how SPILL, an
e-mail-based peer listening group, came to fill the void. Although
SPILL does not provide any forms of counseling services, it offers
a novel approach to the mental health of college students.

For 17 years, researcher Ei Terasawa restrained rhesus monkeys
and left them fully conscious while repeatedly pumping deadly

had accidentally died under her care that her push-pull perfusion
experiment was put on hold and the treatment of primates in lab

From the most experienced fifth-year senior to the newest of
freshmen, we all have felt at one time or another the stress and
rigors of college life bearing down on us. Whether we are stressing
over financial situations, what our goals for the future may be,
relationships, or even that term paper due this Friday you haven't
even started yet, college is a tumultuous time that heavily impacts
our minds and mental states. That being said, it should be a top
priority for our university (any university or college, in fact) to
have mental treatment and counseling readily available to all
students for free, or at least at very affordable prices. The fact
that a recent UW System audit found that student mental health
needs were growing at a much faster rate than the resources
available is, therefore, a cause for great concern. The UW System
needs to address this issue now before it grows out of control or
situations arise in which students are put at risk.
