Counseling Center
The mission of the Vincennes University Counseling Center is to facilitate the academic and personal success of Vincennes campus students by providing emotional counseling and psychotherapeutic services to VU students who are experiencing a personal problem that interferes with their ability to function in a college environment.
The Counseling Center provides confidential emotional counseling and consultation to all VU students. A variety of situations can arise that require assistance beyond the help friends and relatives can give. While some individuals seek assistance when they are in a state of crisis, it is certainly not necessary to have a serious problem in order to seek the assistance of a professional counselor.
Counseling is a process which allows a person to:
- openly explore his or her concerns,
- deal with personal feelings,
- consider alternatives, and
- clarify goals in a supportive atmosphere.
Concerns addressed in the counseling setting cover a wide variety of issues and often include relationship difficulties, major life transitions, academic difficulties, stress management, sexuality, alcohol or drug abuse, eating disorders, or depression.
Most clients are seen on a weekly basis for approximately one hour. The number of visits varies with each individual. Some individuals just need someone to talk things over with, whereas others require more extensive contact. In addition to direct therapeutic services, referrals to local social service agencies and medical resources are facilitated when appropriate.

Dinner Tonight: Warm Squid Salad Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Cooking squid requires some special patience, as it needs to be cooked until white, but if you wait too long it'll turn into a rubbery little monster. But in this recipe from Jonathon Waxman's A Great American Cook, the squid just needs a few seconds in the scorching skillet, so it's easy to whip up. The sauce is made from rice wine vinegar, oil, and a whole bunch of aïoli, which gives each bite a garlic kick. Everything is then tossed with crisp greens. I found some amazing mizuna at the market, which worked perfectly.
If I have one complaint about the dish, it's that it may be a little overdressed. Essentially, you and three other people will be consuming about one cup of aïoli. If this is a problem for you, that can easily be fixed by cutting the amount in half. That said, it somehow works out, probably because the greens are kind of aggressive and the bread crumbs help soak it up. Using the full amount will bring it to restaurant-caliber decadence, while halving the amount is more practical for a weeknight meal. It's up to you.
- Yield:3 to 4 people
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- For the aïoli:
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup olive oil
- For the Warm Squid Salad:
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 12 ounces cleaned squid, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- salt and pepper
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- ½ pound mixed crisp greens (mizuna, frisée, endive, and escarole), torn into 2-inch pieces
For the aïoli: Combine the egg yolks, garlic, and salt in a blender. Process until pureed. On medium speed, slowly drizzle a few drops of olive oil until it starts to emulsify. Continue drizzling in the olive oil until has all been added, being careful not to add it too fast or it will break. Season with more salt if needed.
For the warm squid salad: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 300°. Spread the bread crumbs on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven, and wait until lightly toasted, about eight minutes.
Dry the squid pieces on paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add as much of the squid as will fit in one layer. At first, the squid pieces will stick to the pan. Once they release or curl up, which takes five to ten seconds, flip the pieces. Cook until the pieces appear white, another five to ten seconds. Transfer the pieces to a bowl. Repeat this process, adding more oil if needed.
Turn heat to low, and add the garlic. Cook until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Transfer to the bowl with the squid.
Deglaze skillet with the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits. Turn heat to medium and simmer for a few minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, and then two tablespoons of olive oil. Once mixture is emulsified, turn off the heat, and whisk in the aïoli. Pour at least half of this sauce over the squid. Add all of it if you're feeling like it (see note).
Sprinkle in about half of the breadcrumbs into the bowl with the squid. Toss this mixture just twice, then add the greens and toss well. Divide this mixture between four plates, and top with a sprinkling of the remaining bread crumbs.

Status report: Solid-state storage
Solid-state storage has carved out a niche in the storage ecosystem, establishing itself as a viable alternative for high-performance applications.
- Phil Goodwin, Contributor
Solid-state storage has carved out a niche in the storage ecosystem, establishing itself as a viable alternative for high-performance applications.
Solid-state disk is, of course, nothing of the sort. Whereas a disk is a round, flat object, solid-state storage is really just memory chips. That may seem like a silly semantic distinction, but it's actually important to bear that in mind when architecting a data access solution. Solid-state drives (SSDs), also referred to as flash memory and flash cache, have more in common with memory -- specifically cache memory -- than with spinning hard disk drives (HDDs). Although SSDs are commonly deployed "behind the storage-area network (SAN)" and provisioned as part of the total storage pool, they behave like large repositories of cache. That's important to consider when designing solid-state storage into a storage solution.
SSD chip technologies
Three solid-state storage technologies dominate the market today: single-level cell (SLC), multi-level cell (MLC) and enterprise multi-level cell (eMLC). This may seem like an "inside baseball" discussion, but you'll need to understand the different SSD technologies (just as you do with HDD technologies) to make the appropriate deployment choice.
MLC is currently the most prevalent consumer-grade solid-state storage, whereas most enterprise-class products are built around SLC. MLC offers a significantly lower price point on a per-GB basis but also has a significantly lower useful life. Individual SLC memory cells can sustain approximately 100,000 write operations before failure, but MLC cells are only good for about 3,000 to 10,000 write operations before they fail. Cell failure can be one cause of SSD performance degradation and may be the reason a solid-state device gradually becomes unacceptable over time. Obviously, MLC devices will retain their capacity and performance only about one-tenth as long as SLC for a given write workload. It's therefore important to ask the vendor to describe the "use profile" for their product and to factor it into the cost-per-unit equation. A product that looks like an irresistible deal at half the price of other systems is no bargain if its useful life is just a small fraction of the higher priced product.
Enterprise MLC is a newer technology gaining traction in the industry. With an estimated life of 20,000 to 30,000 write cycles, eMLC reaches a middle ground both in price and life span between SLC and MLC. Nimbus Data Systems Inc. has committed to eMLC technology, using it in all its data storage products while other vendors are still using SLC. To avoid write-related lifespan and degradation issues, Nimbus's controller software has "wear-leveling" capabilities and aligns write blocks with flash cells. Nimbus also offers a five-year warranty for those concerned with product longevity.
Server-based solid-state storage
Another emerging technology trend is toward host-based solid-state storage delivered as PCI Express (PCIe) cards for insertion directly into the host. Fusion-io Inc., LSI Corp., Texas Memory Systems Inc. and Viking Modular Solutions all offer PCIe solid-state products. Although provisioned like storage, host-based solutions behave very much like cache. Being "in front" of the SAN has the advantage of avoiding network latency for read operations, yet data can be pre-positioned using automated storage tiering (AST) technologies, depending upon the array vendor's capabilities. On the flipside, it's subject to host failure so storage managers should ensure the PCIe solid-state storage is properly data protected through RAID, mirroring or clustering.
EMC Corp. is joining the fray and has announced its "Project Lightning," which is its first PCIe host-based storage product (scheduled for availability later in 2011). This product will be fully accessible using EMC's Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) software so that it works seamlessly with EMC's arrays across the SAN. The initial product will be based on SLC technology to maximize the longevity, performance and reliability of the device.

Software is key to performance, longevity
Most solid-state storage vendors would agree that software is critical to the performance of their storage devices. LSI offers its MegaRAID CacheCade 2.0 software, designed to optimize both reads and writes by managing writes to specific blocks. CacheCade complements LSI's MegaRAID SSD controller cards for use with SSD devices or arrays.
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. similarly points to its data location algorithm for optimizing solid-state performance in its 3PAR arrays. The company touts this optimization algorithm for its ability to avoid the gradual performance degradation that may occur otherwise. Other vendors, such as Avere Systems Inc. and NetApp Inc. use non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) to buffer and manage write operations, all of which is managed by their own proprietary software to find the appropriate write path.
IO Turbine Inc., which was recently acquired by Fusion-io, developed Accelio software that allows SSDs to be provisioned across VMware virtual machines (VMs). The VMs can use Accelio to share SSD or other flash storage. Accelio can be used with virtually any SSD/flash product and supports VMware vMotion functionality.
Use cases for solid-state storage
Database performance enhancement. Most storage managers recognize that SSD offers blazingly fast read operations, making it ideal for database environments with read-intensive applications. In this scenario, the database indexes are typically loaded into SSD or flash storage for quick lookups followed by accessing the HDDs to fetch the actual data. However, with the increasing size and affordability of solid-state storage devices, some organizations are finding it possible to load an entire database into the SSD, which significantly speeds up all database functions.
Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel in Jackson, Calif., has been testing database performance with a combination of Dell EqualLogic arrays, Fusion-io PCIe-based solid-state storage and IO Turbine's Accelio software. (Jackson Rancheria is a beta test site for Accelio.) The casino has a 300 GB Microsoft SQL Server database supporting its gaming operations, which is a read-intensive app. Approximately 80% of the servers are virtualized using VMware ESX.
Shane Liptrap, senior systems engineer at Jackson Rancheria Casino & Hotel, reports excellent test results. "Initial setup of the Accelio software only took about an hour and was similar to creating VMware resource pools," he said. "We saw a definite improvement in performance. Using Accelio with a 150 GB Fusion-io SSD, our read latency dropped 60%. Using a 320 GB Fusion-io flash card, it dropped 90%." This configuration took the load off the SAN and Liptrap expects to see better reliability and failover in addition to better response time as the configuration is moved into production.
Cache tier. Several vendors are increasingly adding solid-state storage to their arrays as a "cache tier." Although this is also referred to as tier 0, the lines between a distinct storage tier and cache are increasingly blurred. NetApp, in particular, is taking this approach, with the added twist of applying data deduplication to its Flash Cache. NetApp claims deduplication can improve capacity utilization by up to 10-to-1. VM images in Flash Cache can be improved by 3-to-1 or 4-to-1. Adding deduplication instantly improves the economics of adding Flash Cache to a configuration.
HP's 3PAR arrays use adaptive optimization to seamlessly blend the SSD and Fibre Channel (FC) HDD tiers in the array. Datapipe Inc., a managed services vendor in Jersey City, NJ, uses 3PAR arrays to handle the requirements of a diverse set of customers. Datapipe offers SSD as a value-added option to customers who need additional I/O performance. "SSD isn't cheap, so you really need to get a bang for the buck," said Sanford Coker, Datapipe's director of storage administration. He recommends host-based flash memory when possible. In many cases, Coker will deploy SSD for database applications to support a wide variety of industries, from financial and pharmaceutical to new media and cloud. SSD is indispensible to him when a guaranteed I/O level is required.
Dataram Corp., a 44-year-old firm best known for RAM products, is one of the companies promoting cache tiering with its XcelaSAN appliance. One use case for this cache tiering device is adding I/O capacity to existing configurations. By adding a small amount of SSD, Dataram believes customers can avoid more costly upgrades to tier 1 and tier 2 arrays. Moreover, they claim to be able to deliver the same aggregate I/O and capacity of FC storage with a cheaper combination of SSD and SATA devices.
Boot storms. An excellent app for networked storage is virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) support. VDI causes "boot storms" during periods of high user system start up, and because that activity is a purely read application, it's ideal for the extreme I/O performance of SSD. Deduplication, as in the case of NetApp, reduces the cost of solving this problem.
Data location and hybrid cloud. Solid-state technology can also be used to position data closer to the user to reduce data access latency caused by distance. This will usually involve an SSD appliance rather than a PCIe card or just another tier. The Demand-Driven Storage architecture on Avere Systems' FXT SSD arrays is an example of such an implementation. FXT arrays can be used with a centralized data center setting, private cloud or hybrid cloud. These arrays can be clustered to provide high availability with Avere's tiered file system to ensure data consistency.
Automated tiering software can automatically move data between tiers, even over a wide-area network (WAN), so the most frequently accessed data is moved to the location or locations where it's in high demand.
One application that fits well into this use case is on-demand video streaming. Datapipe supports these types of applications for some of its customers. "When a new video comes out, it gets a lot of hits. By elevating these videos to a solid-state tier, we can handle a lot more data requests in a shorter time span resulting in better user experiences," Datapipe's Coker said.
All solid-state storage. Not many people consider an all-solid-state infrastructure, assuming the cost would be prohibitive. Nimbus Data Systems hopes to change that perception. Nimbus designs its own eMLC flash memory units and offers them with the aforementioned five-year warranty. However, to make an all-solid-state product comparable to those offered by more established array vendors, you need the accompanying software to support the platform. Nimbus includes the storage operating system, RAID, deduplication, snapshots, thin provisioning, replication and mirroring. Nimbus claims its systems require up to 80% less power, cooling and rack space compared to a 15K rpm HDD system. An all-solid-state storage infrastructure may not replace high-capacity HDDs for near-line or archive storage, but it may be the right choice for I/O-intensive applications.

Hard drives struggle to keep pace
Hard drive technology over the past several years has seen significant advances in areal density, continuing the ever-falling per-GB cost curve. But hard disk drive I/O throughput hasn't kept up with the much faster servers and networks over the same period of time. Applications are becoming increasingly I/O bound as the demand for data access increases. In some cases, storage managers must deploy extra, unneeded capacity to get the aggregate I/O throughput required to meet the application's demands. This unused capacity dramatically alters the economics of high-capacity drives.
Nevertheless, solid-state is no panacea. "Solid-state offers a lot of advantages, but it's not always the solution," Datapipe's Coker advises. "There's still no substitute for good system design. Application owners need to be prepared to work with their storage provider to properly tune and provision the right combination of SSD and HDD. Moreover, we've found that SSDs tend to get slower over time. You can work to manage them and reformat them, but at some point you have to be prepared to just replace them. It's different from managing HDDs."
Solid-state storage, though more expensive than HDDs on a per-GB basis, may be substantially cheaper on a per-I/O basis. IT managers should consider the cost per I/O in their economic analysis. Add this to the lower power and cooling requirements, and the TCO will likely make sense for application acceleration. IT managers shouldn't expect SSD to follow the HDD cost curve. It's fundamentally a memory product, so it will follow the memory cost curve. As eMLC advances technologically, it may make solid-state even more attractive and broaden its applicability in the data center and cloud.

Scotland: Strange things are afoot at Prattle Towers. Last night I set up the Solstice Everblack and stepped back to take a photograph. When I downloaded the photo from the camera, I spotted something I hadn't noticed: Cthulhu Himself peering through the window! (click on the image to see the large version)
The likeness is unmistakable. Heretics might claim it's really the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but look - there's no attempt to hide an essentially tentacled nature here. All those people who believe that Jesus can appear in a plank of wood, or that the Virgin Mary would manifest in the form of toast will have to admit, this is the real thing. They'd better bow down to Cthulhu and accept their inevitable doom, for the evidence is undeniable.

Before modern medicine all you had was homeopathy. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. But it was all they had so they had to deal with it.
Time goes by and advances in homeopathy advance to something called modern medicine. Still an 'iffy' proposition but a definite improvement.
Was this improvement due to better medicine or better diagnosis procedure? Better herbs and spices or better health practices and proper nutrition?
Fast forward to a few decades ago and modern medicine of today makes modern medicine of 50 years ago totally antiquated. Is it the drugs or the diagnosis and specific treatment? Big Pharma wants you to think it's the miracle drugs. Here, take this pill instead of improving your diet! Now take this pill to counter the side effects of that pill.
Centuries ago if you died from some medical problem it was nothing more than survival of the fittest. If you were predisposed to hereditary problems, you didn't make it very long. We are evolving into humans with less desirable DNA that will eventually take its toll.
