Standing Partnership’s picks of must-read links for the week:

1. We just love this post on Metro’s NextStop blog, An STLLegend on Transit, Losing Weight, Finding Love and Believing in St. Louis. (Disclosure: Metro is a client).
2. Kids away at school? NPR tells us what the Five Big Health Issues are on college campuses.
3. About passion, and learning — Six Keys to Being Excellent at Anything.
4. Study shows, 90% of the time, doctors can correctly diagnose minor injuries from cell phone photos.
5. A critical element in a crisis: Oil Spill Investigators Focus on Communication.

Standing Partnership’s offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 6. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
