Kensington Historical Society will host a program from the New Hampshire Humanities to Go on Sun., October 14. The program is titled, "New Hampshire One-Room Rural Schools", and will be presented by Steve Taylor at the Brick (North School) on Rte 150 in Kensington. You are invited to come at 12:30 p.m. and bring you lunch to school where you can sit and eat in the old desks as did the children until the early 1950's. This will give you a chance to look around the building and at some old pictures prior to the program. The Program will start at 1:30 p.m.
Steve Taylor lives on his farm in the area of Plainfield. He was the former Commissioner of Agriculture under several Governors and has done presentations for us in the past as a presenter under the New Hampshire Humanities Council. This should be an enjoyable Sunday afternoon for the family.
Please remember that there are no facilities at the Old School.
For further information, contact Nathalie Potts at 603-926-1721 or Lorraine O'Keefe at 603-772-1179.

A variety of activities for infants through age 5 will be set up from 9 a.m. to noon at the Arc's facility on Oakhill Road in Jasper.
Families can drop in at their convenience and can complete the program in approximately one hour.
"The parents will get feedback on where their child is developmentally, and they will also be getting information on different play activities and how they help a child's overall development," said Angela Washington, director of the Arc's Early Intervention Program .
If a developmental delay is discovered, staff will be available to explain the appropriate service at the Arc that can assist the child.
"Books, Balls and Blocks" is free and sponsored by United Way's "Help Me Grow" initiative as well as the Alabama Partnership for Children.
The Children's Policy Council of Walker County, which is currently working on a blueprint to prepare all local children for school, also collaborated on the effort.
For more information, call Washington at 387-0564.

BOSTON -- Patrice Bergeron scored at 6:05 of overtime to complete a miraculous Boston comeback as the Bruins rallied to oust the Toronto Maple Leafs from the playoffs with a nail-biting 5-4 victory in Game 7 Monday night.
Bergeron, with his second of the night, ended it as the Bruins blitzed the Toronto goal. The Leafs could not clear the puck and the Bruins forward snapped home a shot.
Two late goals in the space of 31 seconds by Boston's Milan Lucic and Bergeron, with goalie Tuukka Rask off for the extra attacker, shockingly tied the game up at 4-4.
It had looked like two early goals by defenceman Cody Franson had been enough to propel Toronto into the next round of the playoffs. The Leafs led 4-1 midway through the third period when the Bruins started pulling rabbits out of their hat with three unanswered goals -- the last two with the clock running out.

The retired president of a New Mexico community college has been named the interim director of a two-year college campus in Arizona.
Former Santa Fe Community College President Sheila Ortega said she starts her job at Pima Community College on Monday.
The Santa Fe New Mexicans reports that Ortega will be paid $173,000 a year as interim president of the college's Community Campus, which focuses on adult basic education, workforce training and online learning.
Ortega is under contract to serve in the job through June 2014.
The college in Tucson has six locations throughout Pima County.
Ortega retired as president of the community college in Santa Fe in 2012, after a nearly 30-year career at the two-year school.

I bought a bunch of these the other day and have been using them on the rope end of my draws. So far they've been proving to be GREAT biners.
They look cool, but it looks like the edges are a little to sharp and not rounded enough?
i'll take a free sample of those puppies...
Oh, goody, titanium rope shredders. I'd like to know where I can get a dozen pairs of those for my alpine rack.
I guess you have to be paying really close attention to get all the subtle, masterfully ironic jokes on this board
Sweet! Those would work really well with my new draws...
Knew birthday beeners, eh, beano????
Those look like prefect racking biners. I'll take 24. Thanks.
I like the way the nose doesn't capture the gate, making the closed gate strength the same as the open gate strength.
Were they in the toy dept or housewares at WalMart?
I'm on a low budget. I ordered a bunch of biners from here: www.carabinerkeychains.com/blank-carabiner-keychains.htm 16 for racking and 24 more, 12 of which have the nylon strap, for my quickdraws. Probably saved a couple hundred bucks! I recommend checking them out. Havent climbed on them yet... we'll see how it goes
The smaller ones would be great for ski leashes. I had to buy the Dynafit Guide leashes because I couldn't find another suitable microbiner to use for my leashes.
Nice to see SMC back in the game with innovative plastic carabiners: www.carabinerkeychains.com/plastic-carabiners.htm
What load are they rated for (if that's even relevant for those babies)?

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Officials with the Arizona Department of Education say they have concerns with the new culturally relevant literature courses adopted by the Tucson school district.
The department says the school district's governing board prematurely approved the courses. The concerns center on whether the courses meet state standards.
The school board approved the courses on a 3-2 vote Tuesday. It's expected to vote on culturally relevant history and government courses later this month.
The state contends the curriculum for the literature courses doesn't align with academic standards and isn't in compliance with the law.
The school district tells The Arizona Daily Star that its schools are under a federal court order and mandated timeline to create classes with the specialized curriculum.
The courses are designed to replace the district's dismantled Mexican American Studies program.

Collingwood's Reissland rules the Perch
12:58pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Collingwood AC were the kings of Saturday's 10k Perch run taking top spot in two of the men's races.
Despite treacherous conditions, Neil Reissland was the first to break the tape clocking 39 minutes three seconds – more than a minute ahead of his nearest challenger.
With clubmates Robert Knight (fifth, 40:56) and Roger Bryant (10th, 43:18), the men also brought home the team prize.
Mary James, pictured, took the runners up spot in the women's race in 47:41, behind Diana Norman of Epsom & Ewell Harriers, who clocked 46:11.

The man's death is not being treated as suspicious. The theatre has re-opened.

This is simply amazing. Sir, you are the greatest man in the world. I love you... no homo... maybe.
BTW, I love the Limited Edition Number addition. Very nice.
Like many of you I couldn't sleep after the crazy comeback win against Notre Dame on Saturday night. I had to do something with all that excess energy so here's your season schedule wallpaper.
Like last year's Heisman Candidate Edition, the Night Game Victors Edition Denard Robinson Action Figure project was an audible. I wasn't planning to create another wallpaper until the Michigan State game (and definitely was NOT going to revisit the action figure since it almost killed me last time) but with the last minute heroics and surprisingly-great-looking-on-the-team-as-apposed-to-at-M-Den legacy uniforms it didn't feel like I had a choice. Seconds after the game ended I raised an eyebrow at my wife and she said, "I figured. Go ahead, I'm heading to bed."
My daughter offered some enthusiastic support as I was wrapping this up on Sunday (she was drawing pictures of Denard at her little desk next to mine) and my wife helped with choices for some of the details like the small parts warning and edition number.
How it was made
I started with my original Denard Robinson action figure and modified it (in Photoshop) to match the Adidas legacy uniforms. The original was based on a Tom Brady action figure and got me into a funny legal situation with some lawyers who thought I was manufacturing them. I wasn't and I don't intend to despite the protestations of my children. "Kids, that would be illegal and besides, our home-based factory is not yet fully operational."
I screen captured the action figure modifications and box creation but it turns out that my usually dependable software has an obscure bug that cost me 75% of what I had recorded. At some time in the future (or in the past if I can get the DeLorean running) I will go back and record the layer build for both versions of the action figure. It won't be as good as seeing the whole process but it will be better than nothing.
Go Blue.
The images below are previews only. You can get the widescreen, 4:3, iPad and mobile wallpapers at The Art. The Art. The Art!.
This disclaimer works 50% of the time all of the time
There is no actual action figure for sale. The action figure does not exist; it was created digitally. I'm offering free downloads of the artwork for your personal use.
This is simply amazing. Sir, you are the greatest man in the world. I love you... no homo... maybe.
BTW, I love the Limited Edition Number addition. Very nice.
Nice work as usual! Love the texture at the edge of the cardboard!
Love: The new wallpaper. It's more up to date (obviously).
Hate: Forces me to contemplate whether it's better than your last action figure wallpaper. I'm averse to change.
The random serial number on the side is why your disclaimer works 50% of the time. The details are astounding!
i LOVE the choking hazard warning.
Denard Robinson, even as an action figure, does not choke. Somebody ought to actually manufacture these -- you've got the copyright and should receive a piece -- 10k units would fly from the shelves I bet.
...he can't because individual players names and likenesses can't be used for NCAA merchandising.
Still, this is brilliant beyond words. Well done, sir.
Who said manufacturing and distribution must occur while DR is on the roster? Once Denard leaves university, he can consent to his likeness being used and the other parties may find it attractive from a promotional viewpoint to give their permissions. I hope monuMental revisits commercializing his work product -- it's excellent -- in the years ahead because the game itself will be almost timeless. Correction, it is timeless.
I want a Zoltan space emperor based on a Zurg (from Toy Story) action figure.
Dude, this is soo totaly cool, very nice work.
Wow! That is incredible... Thank you for sharing!
I really hate your new job/life whatever that has gotten in your way of doing these weekly like last year...awesome work.
This is awesome. Thanks for everything you do, MonuMental!
Is that you're so much better at graphic design than I am at my vocation. It's humbling.
prototype it! Where is my 3D printer?
Yet another benefit of a Michigan victory ULT! The detail. The detail. The detail!
We get stuck with this and not an Eastern wallpaper. wtf?
Kudos to Mrs. monuMental -- she obviously understand your need to deliver such outstanding work.
Loved the limited item 1 of 114,804 detail. A great touch.
Incredible! Thank you!
plus eleventy billion.
It's fun for us when you get all worked up over a game and can't sleep afterwards! You should be able to get some sleep after the upcoming EMU game!
Thank you.
Go Blue!
and thanks to your family for loaning you to us for this project.
Brian needs to +1,000,000 monuMental's MGoPoints
Excellent...as usual.
Sorry to hijack, but I don't have enough points to post yet! Huge fan, though, so I hope it's cool. Here's another "ode to monuMental" wallpaper for Game 3:
If posbang was in effect, you would definitely have enough points to post after that effort! Great concept and execution. One question, does George have the same deal with the eagle/pigeon?
Edit: Sorry about the ad, that didn't play before the embed. If that's not kosher please delete.
This caused me to seriously LOL at work. People started gophering up over the cube walls and I had to explain it all. Thanks.
For some odd reason I want to deepfry and taste it. Though it's kinda built like Mike Hart, who coincidently will be coaching opposite.
I'm really glad my business partner was away for the day because I am having diffultly controlling my laughter. That is beyond awesome and way funnier than anything I've ever come up with. Your execution is really good, too.
I love it!
You get my vote for this week's wallpaper!
I do not have them.
Simply amazing, and beyond anything I personally could ever conceive.
for statements of awe and thanks. But willing to risk it.
what i would give for this to be real.

Positions are still available at Studio RLC for nail technology and the cosmetology programs.
RLC's newest program, nail technology, is scheduled to begin Aug. 19. The short program will help students learn about nail care so they may enter the workforce after 16 weeks of study. Classes will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Studio RLC at the Rend Lake College MarketPlace in Mt. Vernon.
"We are very excited for the college to be able to offer this new program," said Daphne Mitchell, director of Studio RLC. "It's such a short amount of time that I think it's a great opportunity for that student who wants to study nail technology without the hair aspect. Plus, our textbook is current with all the latest nail techniques."
Seats are also open in both the daytime and evening cosmetology programs.
The day time program is scheduled to begin Aug. 26 and is a full-time, 10 month program. Classes will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and every third Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The evening program will begin Oct. 21, and classes are scheduled on a part-time basis for the 16-month duration. Classes will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and every other Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
"The evening program is a really great opportunity for someone who still has children at home or someone who works full-time and might be looking for a career change," Mitchell said.
In the cosmetology programs, instructors train students in the basics of hair cutting and styling and work up to the latest, hottest trends. Services covered include shampooing, cutting, coloring and styling. Students will also learn other facets of the industry, including facials, nail care and customer service.
To register for nail technology or cosmetology, contact Studio RLC at 242-8459 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on the programs, visit www.rlc.edu/stuiorlc.

I need to know if the new Nokia 701 supports exchange of ISO APDU frames using JSRs on Type 4 tags. After searching the S60 SDK and the Qt NFC SDK, and I see that Type 4 tag is supported but only to put NDEF records / data.
I need to have APDU exchanges so that I can communicate to smarter tags like JavaCards and work with secured PKI encryption using RSA 2048 and ECC.

Thai & Romanian Translators Wanted!
The LimeSurvey project is looking for Thai and Romanian translators - as these are the worst maintained languages at the moment. Of course, some other languages could get more attention too . Beside the chance to work in an Open Source Development Team your reward will be the acknowldgment by the LimeSurvey community (well, especially by your fellow countrymen) and your name will be immortalised in the Team listing (if you like we can also link to your personal homepage). If you are interested please start here or here.
LimeSurvey Version 1.50 Stable Release!
Press Release: The LimeSurvey development-team is very proud to announce the new stable version 1.50. The worldwide team of about seventeen developers and translators around project leader Carsten Schmitz invested over one year in developing and testing this new version of the currently most used open source survey system. The software, which was previously named PHPSurveyor and renamed May 2007 to LimeSurvey, has been improved a lot and many new wanted features have been added.
LimeSurvey wouldn't have been possible without the lots and lots of work of contributors working in their spare time.
I can't possibly thank you, the team developers and translators, enough for your encouragment, work and determination to make LimeSurvey a great product. I just can say: You succeeded!
To the donators who thought in the past that donating to this project would help: You were right!
Based on the team and donator support we will continue to support and enhance LimeSurvey in the future and this future looks very bright and shiny right now!
Version 1.50 Release Within A Week!
Release time is coming close! Since we are about to release the 1.50 stable version within a week we would like to notify everyone preparing a new template or a new/updated translation about this upcoming event. The deadline for submissions is the 5th of August, 12:00 GMT. Please submit anything you want to have included in the release package until that point in time. Thank you to everyone who helped and/or contributed - without you we wouldn't have been that far.
Japanese Translation for 1.50 & Manual
Two days I ago we received email from Hiroki Yoshino, a guy from the japanese web design company OFFIBBA (check it out - amazing work!). He sent us a japanese translation for the web interface for the upcoming LimeSurvey version 1.50 - which is now already checked into the development version. But not only that - he also announced he will translate the online documentation in our Wiki - and just today he did most if it! All Japanese LimeSurvey users will love to see this new documentation translation. For us it is exiciting since it shows that the LimeSurvey community is growing steadily - and we really love the japanese chars!
If you (yes you!) want to add your language to LimeSurvey or updating existing ones you can start here or here - if you have any questions regarding translations just leave me a message.
LimeSurvey 1.49 RC 3 Security Release!
Due to two security holes found in LimeSurvey we decided to have a quick new candidate release. All current users of 1.45 or higher are strongly recommended to upgrade to version 1.49RC3 as soon as possible.
LimeSurvey 1.01 Stable Released
Due to the increasing numbers of users people having problems with emailing in version 1.0 we decided to do a small update release. This new release is using the very reliable phpmailer library (which will be used in the upcoming 1.50 version too) for better emailing, contains a very small image fix and a small new feature which lets you include the token id on the exit URL. All version 1.0 users are recommended to update!
Have fun with this new release!
LimeSurvey 1.49 RC 2 released!
This has been a crazy month. Alot of people have discovered us in the last 30 days - partly due to the new name, partly due to nice reviews (eg. Linux.com). Anyway the positive response was overwhelming. Keep it coming and we will continue to improve LimeSurvey each day!
This new release fixes about 30 bugs from the last Release Candidate (RC), and I can say that through the tireless feedback of our users, this new release candidate is recommended for use, which means it is nearing the end of the process as the next production release. Since alot in the interface has been changed and because there are some known non-critical issues we would like to fix, this is the last RC before final release - Promise!

Rupert Murdoch Reminds ABCŌĆÖs Kofman of Ebenezer Scrooge Instead of Shakespearean Tragedy
On Saturday's Good Morning America on ABC, after anchor Dan Harris recounted that News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch met and apologized to the family of the 13-year-old murder victim whose phone messages were hacked by a News of the World reporter, correspondent Jeffrey Kofman commented that Murdoch reminded him of Ebenezer Scrooge approaching Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol, rather than a character from a Shakespearean tragedy. Kofman:
You know, I was trying to figure out what analogy works here - is this Shakespearean, his fall? But, actually, it reminds me of A Christmas Carol when Ebenezer Scrooge comes and approaches Tiny Tim and tries to atone for his past sins.
A Shakespearean tragedy notably involves characters who have both admirable and flawed qualities, while the Scrooge character was unsympathetic throughout nearly all of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Below is a complete transcript of Kofman's report from the Saturday, July 16, Good Morning America on ABC:
DAN HARRIS: And now to the humbling of a billionaire media mogul. Rupert Murdoch, a man who is not used to groveling, is on an apology tour this morning trying to contain the damage from that massive phone hacking scandal. This contrition mission started yesterday when Murdoch personally asked forgiveness from the family of a 13-year-old murder victim named Milly Dowler whose cell phone messages were hacked into and even erased by one of his reporters.
RUPERT MURDOCH, NEWS CORPORATION: No, I'm not going to say anything more about it. I'm the founder of the company. I was appalled when I found out it happened. I apologize and I have nothing further to say.
HARRIS: But Murdoch does have something further to say. He is continuing his apologies this morning saying sorry now to all of Britain. ABC's Jeffrey Kofman is in London this morning with the story. Jeffrey, what is he saying and where?
JEFFREY KOFMAN: Well, take a look. This is his own Times of London: "We are sorry." This is in all of the national newspapers here. As you could say quite appropriately it's a contrition mission. You know, I was trying to figure out what analogy works here - is this Shakespearean, his fall? But, actually, it reminds me of A Christmas Carol when Ebenezer Scrooge comes and approaches Tiny Tim and tries to atone for his past sins.
HARRIS: This situation is likely to get worse from Murdoch before it gets better. Tuesday he's going to be dragged before the British parliament. How bad is that likely to be for him?
KOFMAN: I think that the entire world on cable TV will be watching. This is going to be quite the spectacle. He did not want to go - in fact, he said he wouldn't go and then realized that was yet another public relations fiasco. He and his son James and Rebekah Brooks - his shamed lieutenant - will all appear before parliament, and I think you're going to see the modern-day version of a public flogging. It's going to be ugly. And his son James himself is really not out of hot water yet. His son James could face some serious charges in this.
HARRIS: Indeed. And here in the U.S., we're watching this as a human drama unfolding involving a very powerful man, but over in the U.K., it's been called the British Watergate. Why is that?
KOFMAN: This is huge. You just cannot underestimate or shall I say overestimate the importance of this because the people of Britain have discovered something they didn't know, that for the last 30 years Murdoch through the power of these papers - and he owns four of the major papers, 40 percent of the circulation in this country - has been bullying politicians of all parties to follow his political line. And if you didn't, he destroyed you in his papers, and now they're discovering that, and now he has been brought to his knees.

Cynical language

Calling it a "contrition mission" is cynical at best. It excludes the possibility that Murdoch might be sincere in apologizing for his employee and a company he owns. Trouble is, this is an age of phony apologies. So when someone is genuine, he's not believed. Obviously I don't know Murdoch's motives, but neither does the MSM. They should withhold judgment.

It is a little scary thinking about the dangers of ice fishing, but it probably is no more dangerous than standing in my bass boat on one foot while wearing heavy boots and a snowmobile suit, and fishing alone. I have often thought that if I hit something with my trolling motor and fell overboard I would probably drown since my clothing would pull me to the bottom! Still, I want to know how to be safe and what to do to be safe.
I have warm clothes, but would they be suitable for ice fishing? Would I need to carry my coleman propane heater, (buy direct) or would handwarmers (buy direct) be enough? And how would I ever keep my hands warm? How would weather affect ice fishing?
Building or buying a hut (buy direct) and finding the right place to put it would be a challenge. Just deciding where to drill a hole would be a skill I would have to learn, as would the actual drilling itself. I would have to learn to use the drill, for starters! (buy direct) I probably would want to keep cutting new holes trying to find the fish! Would I need a depthfinder? (buy direct) And I understand the fish do move and conditions change. Watching those guys on the In-Fisherman TV show pulling big old catfish through holes that looked too small showed me how much I would need to learn.
Sitting in a hut, warm and comfortable and safe from the outside air, while jigging through a hole in the ice and watching tip-ups stationed all around, sounds like fun. Staying in one place might not be so bad! It reminds me of the nights we put out trotlines, built a fire on the bank, cast out a few lines and then waited in warm comfort for a bite. That was very relaxing, and great fun!
But what would I need. Could I be happy with the basics - a bucket, some line and hooks and an auger? Probably not, if you look at all the junk in my bass boat! I would want all the stuff I could get, and even more! I am sure I would want a sled to haul it all on!
I know walleye, bluegill and perch are often caught through the ice, but was suprised to find out bass, catfish, crappie and bream also bite when their world is frozen over. I would have to learn how to catch all of them!
And when are the best times and worst times? I have heard people get on the ice before it is really safe because first ice is a good time, but what about later in the winter and at the end of the ice fishing season? Do fish really bite at night under the ice?
Even pictures of ice fishing makes me want to go!
I have got to go ice fishing!
What do you think? Got any information about ice fishing? Tell me about it. If so, you can also post information about it for others on my message board - you must register to post but can read the board as a guest. Also, if you have thoughts you want to share about this topic, let me know about it at email@example.com. for a "Fishtale." Tell others what you like.

Church bell handed back to Chile after 150 years
A church bell rescued from a devastating fire in Chile nearly 150 years ago and brought to Wales was handed back in a service today attended by the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward. The St Thomas' Church, in Neath has returned the historic bell to the Earl on behalf of the British and Commonwealth Fire Company Foundation of Chile, of which he is an honorary member.
The service was also attended by the Chilian Ambassador, Tomas Muller Sproat, and the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan while 20 firemen from Chile formed a guard of honour.
The bell was one of several rescued from a fire which tore through a Jesuit church in Santiago, in 1863, killing 2,500. They were brought to Swansea to be melted down but instead were donated to churches. Three of them, from All Saints Church, Oystermouth, were returned in 2010 to be part of a national memorial for the disaster. The one from St Thomas' Church, however, is being given to the fire service, which is made up of unpaid volunteers and which was set up in response to the tragedy in 1863.
The Rector of Neath, said the bell had never been hung at St Thomas' Church but had been kept in the building since 1870.
– Canon Stephen Ryan, Rector of Neath
The church already had six bells when it was given this one so it was kept at the back and over time was largely forgotten about. We had always known it was from South America and had been given to the church by the Vivian family of Swansea. But we had no idea how significant it was until we found out about the other bells in Oystermouth. We are delighted now that it is to return to where it belongs and be part of a memorial to the brave volunteers who risk their lives fighting fires in Chile
Children from Alderman Davies Church in Wales primary school were also at the church for the occasion and the church choir sang an anthem. The Chilean flag will flew from the church tower.
The Earl was be the first Royal visitor to St Thomas' church since Medieval times.
– Canon Stephen Ryan, Rector of Neath
The church dates back to the 1290s and it would have been visited by Medieval kings as it was a garrison chapel for Norman retainers of the nearby castle. It hasn't had any Royal visitors since then so this occasion will be particularly exciting for us.

Sexual addiction (or sex addiction) is a conceptual model assessing people who report being unable to control their sexual urges, behaviors, or thoughts. Other terms and other models for sexual addiction or aspects of it include hypersexuality, erotomania, nymphomania, satyriasis, Don Juanism (or Don Juanitaism), compulsive sexual behavior, and paraphilia-related disorders.[1][2][3]
Medical studies and related opinions vary among professional psychologists, sociologists, clinical sexologists and other specialists on sexual addiction as a medical physiological and psychological addiction, or representative of a psychological/psychiatric condition at all. Proponents of the sexual addiction model draw analogies between hypersexuality and substance addiction or negative behavioral patterns similar to gambling addiction, recommending 12-step and other addiction-based methods of treatment. Other explanatory models of hypersexuality include sexual compulsivity and sexual impulsivity.

|The History and Rise of Sex and Love Addiction (INFOGRAPHIC)
|Robert Weiss & David Ley. Is sex addiction a myth? // KPCC (April 25, 2012, 9:29 am)
|Nicole Prause, Ph.D. (sexual physiologist). [2] CBS (July 18, 2013)
The current debate as to the legitimacy of sexual addiction makes this a controversial subject in the scientific and therapeutic communities. The US medical consensus was in 2013 that at that time there was "insufficient peer-reviewed evidence to establish the diagnostic criteria and course descriptions needed to identify these behaviors as mental disorders".[4] There have been little, if any, scientific studies with agreed upon results. A 2014 study showed test subjects with religious upbringings reported distress associated with their religious beliefs, which could represent cultural inconsistencies, not pathology, for this particular population.[5] While a 2013 UCLA study with respect to viewing sexual images found no evidence to support an addiction model,[6] another 2014 University of Cambridge found the exact opposite—that pornography triggers similar brain activity in sex addicts as drug paraphernalia triggers in drug addicts.[7][8]
Earlier debates had not reached any consensus regarding whether sexual addiction exists or, if it does, how to describe the phenomenon.[9][10] Some experts regard sexual addiction as a medical form of clinical addiction, directly analogous to alcohol and drug addictions. Other experts believe that sexual addiction is actually a form of obsessive compulsive disorder and refer to it as sexual compulsivity.[11] Still other experts believe that sex addiction is itself a myth, a by-product of cultural and other influences.[12][13] Some who have expressed doubts about the existence of sex addiction argue that the condition is instead a way of projecting social stigma onto patients.[12]
An example of how far this critique sometimes goes is therapist Marty Klein's claim that "The concept of sex addiction provides an excellent example of a model that is both sex-negative and politically disastrous."[14]:8 Klein singles out a number of features that he considers crucial limitations of the sex addiction model.[14]:8
Klein states that the diagnostic criteria for sexual addiction are easy to find on the Internet.[14]:9 Drawing on the Sexual Addiction Screening Test, he states that "The sexual addiction diagnostic criteria make problems of nonproblematic experiences, and as a result pathologize a majority of people."[14]:10
Sex addiction as a term first emerged in the mid-1970s when various members of Alcoholics Anonymous sought to apply the principles of 12-Steps toward sexual recovery from serial infidelity and other unmanageable compulsive sex behaviors that were similar to the powerlessness and un-manageability they experienced with alcoholism.[15] Multiple 12-step style self-help groups now exist for people who identify as sex addicts, including Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sexaholics Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Sexual Compulsives Anonymous.
Medical models[edit]
The American Psychiatric Association publishes and periodically updates the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a widely recognized compendium of acknowledged mental disorders and their diagnostic criteria.[citation needed]
The version published in 1987 (DSM-III-R), referred to "distress about a pattern of repeated sexual conquests or other forms of nonparaphilic sexual addiction, involving a succession of people who exist only as things to be used."[16] The reference to sexual addiction was subsequently removed.[17] The DSM-IV-TR, published in 2000 (DSM-IV-TR), did not include sexual addiction as a mental disorder.[18] The DSM-IV-TR included a miscellaneous diagnosis called Sexual Disorders Not Otherwise Specified,stating : "distress about a pattern of repeated sexual relationships involving a succession of lovers who are experienced by the individual only as things to be used." (Other examples include: compulsive fixation on an unattainable partner, compulsive masturbation, compulsive love relationships, and compulsive sexuality in a relationship.)[18]
Some authors suggested that sexual addiction should be re-introduced into the DSM system;[19] however, sexual addiction was rejected for inclusion in the DSM-5, which was published in 2013.[20] Darrel Regier, vice-chair of the DSM-5 task force, said that "[A]lthough 'hypersexuality' is a proposed new addition...[the phenomenon] was not at the point where we were ready to call it an addiction." The proposed diagnosis does not make the cut as an official psychiatric diagnosis due to a lack of substantial empirical evidence, according to the American Psychiatric Association.[4][21]
The World Health Organization produces the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is not limited to mental disorders. The most recent version of that document, ICD-10, includes "Excessive sexual drive" as a diagnosis (code F52.7), subdividing it into satyriasis (for males) and nymphomania (for females).[22]
The Chinese Society of Psychiatry produces the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD), which is currently in its third edition - the CCMD-3 and Chapter 5 of the document lists Physiological disorders related to psychological factors and under code 52 are disorders that are "Nonorganic sexual dysfuction," and within that category are listed a number of disorders, one of which is "Other or unspecified sexual dysfunction" (numerical code 52.9).[23] This is roughly equivalent to the ICD-10 diagnosis of "Excessive sexual drive" (F52.7), "Other sexual dysfunction, not caused by organic disorder or disease" (F52.8) and "Unspecified sexual dysfunction, not caused by organic disorder or disease" (F52.9).[24]
Borderline personality disorder[edit]
The American Psychiatric Association uses the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to define and classify mental illnesses and in the DSM-IV version of the document, it lists borderline personality disorder (BPD) as an Axis II - Cluster B personality disorder with the code 301.83. The DSM-5 dropped the multiaxial system, but BPD still retains the same numerical code of 301.83.[4] The World Health Organization's produces the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and lists BPD under the name "Emotionally unstable personality disorder". The latest version of the document (ICD-10) lists the disorder in Chapter X which is reserved for "Disorders of adult personality and behaviour" and has the code F60.3.[25] The Chinese Society of Psychiatry uses the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD), which is in its third edition (CCMD-3) and has a diagnosis of "Nonorganic sexual dysfunction" (numerical code 52.9), of which sexual promiscuity may be a symptom. Personality disorders, Habit and impulse disorders, Psychosexual disorders in the CCMD-3 fall in Chapter 6 and under code 6.60 are listed the personality disorders. The CCMD-3 lists "impulsive personality disorder" (numerical code 60.4),[26] which is equivalent to what the DSM refers to as "borderline personality disorder" and what the ICD-10 refers to as "emotionally unstable personality disorder". All three classification manuals and documents list sexual promiscuity as a prevalent and problematic symptom for patients with this particular pathology. Hypersexuality along with high-risk sexual behaviour, seductive behaviour, and promiscuity are an often due to the marked impulsivity common to this group of patients. Individuals with borderline personality disorder (emotionally unstable personality disorder or impulsive personality disorder) not only are prone to promiscuity, but in many cases, co-morbid paraphilias and fetishistic behaviour are commonly associated with their sexual behaviours. Common paraphilic compulsions among individuals with this diagnosis include urolagnia ("golden showers"), sadomasochism, voyeurism autassassinophilia, partialism, biastophilia, and in some cases paraphilic drives may be more extreme and dangerous - such as erotophonophilia, necrophilia, pedophilia, and even anthropophagy. Both males and females with this personality disorder often have a strong desire and compulsion to get involved in illicit sex, affairs, and relationships with married or otherwise pre-attached individuals. Consequently individuals with borderline personality disorder often experience love and sexuality in perverse and violent qualities which they cannot integrate with the tender, intimate side of relationships.[27][28]
Symptoms and diagnostic criteria[edit]
Several mental health providers have proposed various, but similar, criteria for diagnosing sexual addiction, including Patrick Carnes,[29] and Aviel Goodman,[30] None of these proposals has been adopted into any official diagnostic manual, however.
During the update of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to version 5 (DSM-5), the American Psychiatric Association rejected two independent proposals for inclusion.[citation needed]
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) of the World Health Organization, however, does include an entry for "Excessive Masturbation"[31] and another for "Excessive Sexual Drive."[25]
In 2011, the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), the largest medical consensus of physicians dedicated to treating and preventing addiction,[32] redefined addiction as a chronic brain disorder[33] which for the first time broadened the definition of addiction from substances to include addictive behaviors and reward-seeking, such as gambling and sex.[34]
Sexual addiction has been variously hypothesized often to be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder,[35][36] and bipolar disorder.[37] There are those who suffer from more than one condition simultaneously (co-occurring disorder), but traits of addiction are often confused with those of these disorders, often due to most clinicians not being adequately trained in diagnosis and characteristics of addictions, and many clinicians tending to avoid use of the diagnosis at all.[9][38][39]
Specialists in obsessive-compulsive disorder and addictions use the same terms to refer to different symptoms. In addictions, obsession is progressive and pervasive, and develops along with denial; the person usually does not see themselves as preoccupied, and simultaneously makes excuses, justifies and blames. Compulsion is present only while the addict is physically dependent on the activity for physiological stasis. Constant repetition of the activity creates a chemically dependent state. If the addict acts out when not in this state, it is seen as being spurred by the obsession only. Some addicts do have OCD as well as addiction, and the symptoms will interact.[38]
According to proponents of sexual addiction as a disorder, addicts often display narcissistic traits; these are said to often clear as sobriety is achieved, although others exhibit the full personality disorder even after successful addiction treatment.[35]
Psychological distress theories[edit]
A proponent of the addiction model, Patrick Carnes (2001, p. 40), argued that when children are growing up, they develop "core beliefs" of themselves as worthwhile human beings (Carnes, Delmonico and Griffin, 2001, p. 40), and those that lack it tend to compensate through addictive behaviors, which can include excessive sex. (Poudat, 2005, p. 121) A key component of the Carnes model is the Cycle of Sexual Addiction, which involves several stages starting with an emotional trigger or pain agent, leading to dissociation, preoccupation or obsession, ritualization, sexual compulsivity, and finally despair. According to Carnes, for many addicts, this dark emotion brings on depression and feelings of hopelessness. One easy way to cure feelings of despair is to start obsessing all over again. The cycle then perpetuates itself.[40]
Heterogeneous theories[edit]
In the Archives of Sexual Behavior, sexual behavior scientist James Cantor wrote that several different problems can lead people to suspect they might be sex addicts. He outlined the types as (1) paraphilic hypersexuals, who are sexual interested in a very wide range of unusual sexual interests, (2) avoidant masturbators, who have typical sexual interests, but use masturbation up to many hours per day as a procrastination tactic, (3) chronic adulterers, who have typical amounts of sex but atypically high numbers of extramarital partners, (4) sexual guilt, and (5) designated patients.[41]
Current models of addiction from natural rewards and chronic drug use involve alterations in gene expression in the mesocorticolimbic projection.[42][43][44] ΔFosB is the most significant gene transcription factor involved in altered gene expression, since its overexpression in the nucleus accumbens is necessary and sufficient for most of the neural adaptations seen in drug addiction;[42] it has been implicated in addictions to alcohol, cannabinoids, cocaine, nicotine, phenylcyclidine, and substituted amphetamines.[42][43][45] ΔJunD is the transcription factor which directly opposes ΔFosB.[42] Increases in nucleus accumbens ΔJunD expression can reduce or, with a large increase, even block most of the neural alterations seen in chronic drug abuse (i.e., the alterations mediated by ΔFosB).[42]
ΔFosB also plays an important role in regulating behavioral responses to natural rewards, such as palatable food, sex, and exercise.[42][46] Natural rewards, like drugs of abuse, induce ΔFosB in the nucleus accumbens, and chronic acquisition of these rewards can result in a similar pathological addictive state.[44][46] Thus, ΔFosB is also the key transcription factor involved in addictions to natural rewards as well, and sex addictions in particular, since ΔFosB in the nucleus accumbens is critical for the reinforcing effects of sexual reward.[44][46] Research on the interaction between natural and drug rewards suggests that psychostimulants and sexual reward act on similar biomolecular mechanisms of addiction-related neuroplasticity to induce ΔFosB in the nucleus accumbens and possess cross-sensitization effects that are mediated through ΔFosB.[44][47]
ΔFosB inhibitors (drugs that oppose its action) may be an effective treatment for addiction and addictive disorders.[48]
Treatment approaches[edit]
There are many options for counselors to obtain licensure in specialized sexual addiction training; CSAT certification may be the best-known.[49] Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSAT) are licensed therapists with graduate degrees who demonstrate their competence in sex addiction therapy by becoming credentialed by the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals.[50][51]
On a different track, SSRIs have been used in research studies and off-label to treat symptoms of overly frequent sexual urges, but their effects are not always robust. Targeted to treat addictions by interrupting neurotransmitters, these synthetic chemical hormones attempt to adjust behavior through the effect of reducing libido, but medications are rarely prescribed in conventional sex addiction treatments.[citation needed]

Importantly, genetic or viral overexpression of ΔJunD, a dominant negative mutant of JunD which antagonizes ΔFosB- and other AP-1-mediated transcriptional activity, in the NAc or OFC blocks these key effects of drug exposure14,22–24. This indicates that ΔFosB is both necessary and sufficient for many of the changes wrought in the brain by chronic drug exposure. ΔFosB is also induced in D1-type NAc MSNs by chronic consumption of several natural rewards, including sucrose, high fat food, sex, wheel running, where it promotes that consumption14,26–30. This implicates ΔFosB in the regulation of natural rewards under normal conditions and perhaps during pathological addictive-like states."

"It has been found that deltaFosB gene in the NAc is critical for reinforcing effects of sexual reward. Pitchers and colleagues (2010) reported that sexual experience was shown to cause DeltaFosB accumulation in several limbic brain regions including the NAc, medial pre-frontal cortex, VTA, caudate, and putamen, but not the medial preoptic nucleus. Next, the induction of c-Fos, a downstream (repressed) target of DeltaFosB, was measured in sexually experienced and naive animals. The number of mating-induced c-Fos-IR cells was significantly decreased in sexually experienced animals compared to sexually naive controls. Finally, DeltaFosB levels and its activity in the NAc were manipulated using viral-mediated gene transfer to study its potential role in mediating sexual experience and experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance. Animals with DeltaFosB overexpression displayed enhanced facilitation of sexual performance with sexual experience relative to controls. In contrast, the expression of DeltaJunD, a dominant-negative binding partner of DeltaFosB, attenuated sexual experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance, and stunted long-term maintenance of facilitation compared to DeltaFosB overexpressing group. Together, these findings support a critical role for DeltaFosB expression in the NAc in the reinforcing effects of sexual behavior and sexual experience-induced facilitation of sexual performance. ... both drug addiction and sexual addiction represent pathological forms of neuroplasticity along with the emergence of aberrant behaviors involving a cascade of neurochemical changes mainly in the brain's rewarding circuitry."

Childs' Career Night Leads Eagles to Victory
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University volleyball team split two matches Saturday in the Homewood Suites Fort Myers Airport Volleyball Invitational at Alico Arena.
In the morning contest, the Blue and Green fell to Florida Atlantic, 3-1 (25-22, 25-20, 20-25, 26-24).
Sophomore Lindsey Childs (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./South Plantation HS) and freshman Camil Dominguez (Santo Domingo, D.R./Santa Teresita) led FGCU (1-2 overall) with a pair of double-doubles. Childs registered 12 kills and 10 digs, both career-highs, while Dominguez picked up 41 assists and 21 digs.
FGCU took an 8-3 lead early in game one after a kill by senior Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich./Pinckney HS). The Owls battled back to tie the score at 15 apiece after a kill by Christina Wallinger. FAU continued their strong play and held off the Eagles to take the first set 25-22.
FAU jumped out to a 19-11 lead in game two. Senior Jacqueline Cowden (Danville, Calif./Temple) then blasted a kill to stop FAU's 7-3 run (19-12). A pair of attack errors by the Owls brought FGCU to within five points (19-14), prompting FAU to call a timeout. A kill by Childs made the score 20-15 and a kill from Chelsea Lyles (Colorado Springs, Col./Western Nebraska CC) brought the Eagles within three at 21-18. FAU continued to keep their lead and won the second game 25-20. FGCU hit just .023 in the second game compared to FAU's .111.
Childs tallied five kills and six digs, basically dominating the third set as she led the Eagles to a 25-20 win. FGCU jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead after a service ace from senior Emma Racila (Fort Myers, Fla./College of Charleston). The Owls battled back to tie the score at eight after a kill by Dzmuranova. The Blue and Green stretched their lead again this time taking a 14-9 advantage before FAU called a timeout. Thanks in part to three kills by Childs and a pair of service aces by senior Alexa Napoleon (Naples, Fla./Jacksonville) the Eagles extended their lead to 20-13. Kills by Lyles, Brittany Muse (Arcadia, Fla./DeSoto County HS), Childs, and Cowden would allow FGCU to take the game 25-20.
Lyles had a kill that tied game four at 16 apiece. FAU went on a 6-2 run, grabbing a 22-18 lead. Despite Childs scoring three of the team's final seven points, the Eagles would go on to lose the fourth set 26-24.
Childs led the team with 12 kills, while Lyles and Muse chipped in with ten each. Dominguez had a team-high 41 assists and Youngquist had 22 digs in the contest.
In the final game of the invitational, the Eagles used a collective team effort to sweep Houston Baptist 3-0 (25-23, 25-23, 25-23). FGCU (2-2 overall) trailed 16-9, but used a 12-4 run to take control of the first set (21-20). The Blue and Green would hold that lead and take game one 25-23.
The second set was played much like the first, with both squads yet again battling back-and-forth. The Eagles inevitably took the set 25-23, led by Shawver's four kills and a .571 hitting percentage in the game.
FGCU jumped out to a 12-7 lead in the third set, never looking back. Leading a balanced attack the Eagles took the set 25-23 to win the match. Houston Baptist hit .200 for the set while FGCU hit .316.
Lyles and Cowden both had a team-high eight kills for the Blue and Green. Childs chipped in with seven kills of her own and hit .467 for the match.
Dominguez had a game-high 34 assists while Youngquist led all players with 24 digs.
FGCU will play their next 13 matches on the road. The Eagles will head to Oregon to face the No. 20 Ducks on Sept. 1, before competing in the Active Ankle Challenge at Oregon State (Sept. 10-11).

Castleman disease is a rare illness that affects your lymph nodes and other immune-cell structures of your body.
Also known as giant lymph node hyperplasia and angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman disease is classified as a lymphoproliferative disorder. That means it involves an overgrowth (proliferation) of lymphatic cells. This makes Castleman disease similar to cancers of the lymphatic system (lymphomas), which also are characterized by cell overgrowth. Castleman disease isn't considered a cancer, but it is associated with a higher risk of a type of cancer called lymphoma.
Castleman disease can occur in a localized or a more widespread form. Treatment and outlook depend on which type of Castleman disease you have.
There are two basic types of Castleman disease:
The two different types of Castleman disease affect people very differently.
Unicentric Castleman disease
Many people with unicentric Castleman disease notice no symptoms at all. Most often, the diseased lymph node is located in the chest or abdomen. When there are signs and symptoms, they may include:
Multicentric Castleman disease
People with multicentric Castleman disease usually develop these signs and symptoms:
When to see a doctor
If you notice an enlarged lymph node on the side of your neck or in your underarm, collarbone or groin area, talk to your doctor. Also, call your doctor if you have other signs or symptoms, such as a feeling of fullness in your chest or abdomen, fever, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss. These signs and symptoms are common to many different types of illnesses. See your doctor to determine the cause.
It's not clear what causes Castleman disease. Infection by a virus called the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is associated with Castleman disease, and doctors suspect that it may play a role, especially in multicentric Castleman disease. This virus has also been linked to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancerous tumor of the blood vessel walls, which is also common in people with multicentric Castleman disease. People who are HIV-positive are more likely to have both Castleman disease and Kaposi's sarcoma.
Researchers aren't clear what the precise role of HHV-8 may be, though it appears that it may cause malfunctioning immune system cells to reproduce rapidly. The immune system cells produce a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6) that contributes to the overgrowth of lymphatic cells and leads to many of the signs and symptoms of Castleman disease.
Generally, people with unicentric Castleman disease aren't infected with HHV-8.
There don't seem to be any consistent risk factors for Castleman disease, except for having HIV/AIDS. The disease can affect anyone — adults and children, men and women. The average age of people with unicentric Castleman disease is around 30 or 40. Most people with the multicentric form are in their 50s and 60s.
Unicentric Castleman disease
People with unicentric Castleman disease usually do well once the affected lymph node is removed, although having Castleman disease may increase your risk of lymphoma.
Multicentric Castleman disease
On the other hand, multicentric Castleman disease is much more serious and often life-threatening. Death from multicentric disease usually occurs due to a serious infection, failure of multiple organs, or cancer, such as lymphoma or Kaposi's sarcoma. The presence of HIV/AIDS tends to worsen the outcome.
If you have signs and symptoms associated with Castleman disease, you're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. You may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating blood disorders (hematologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and know what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For Castleman disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
A number of tests can help your doctor determine if you have Castleman disease, although unicentric Castleman disease may be found incidentally. People with unicentric Castleman disease often notice no symptoms, and the diseased lymph node is found during screening or treatment for another illness, such as during a CT scan or during abdominal or chest surgery.
Tests your doctor may conduct to diagnose either unicentric or multicentric Castleman disease include:
Treatment depends largely on the type of Castleman disease you have. Treatment for unicentric Castleman disease is almost always with surgery, while multicentric Castleman disease requires more systemic therapies.
Unicentric Castleman disease
Unicentric Castleman disease can be cured by surgically removing the diseased lymph node. If the lymph node is in your chest or abdomen — which is often the case with unicentric disease — major surgery may be required to remove the node. This usually involves a hospital stay. If the affected node is in a place that's easy to access, such as in your underarm area or your neck, a simpler procedure may be performed that doesn't require hospitalization.
If surgical removal isn't possible, such as if the lymph node is difficult to get to, medications, such as the monoclonal antibody rituximab (Rituxan) or corticosteroids, may be used to shrink the lymph node. Radiation therapy may also be an effective way to destroy the affected tissue.
Multicentric Castleman disease
Treating multicentric Castleman disease is generally more difficult. Because the disease is rare, has varied nonspecific signs and symptoms, and spontaneously goes into remission at times, doctors have found it difficult to identify the best treatment.
Surgery usually isn't an option for multicentric disease because of the number of lymph nodes involved, although sometimes removing an enlarged spleen may help ease symptoms.
Medications are commonly used for multicentric disease, with varying degrees of success. Doctors generally try as many treatments as they can to provide the most relief. Therapies include the following:
Because Castleman disease is rare and often occurs with other serious illnesses, it can be difficult to discover you have the illness. Dealing with multicentric disease, in particular, can be challenging. Some people with Castleman disease may have to deal with multiple diseases, including HIV infection, AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma. In the face of a serious illness, it often helps to:

Jimmy Kimmel is quite the prankster. From a fiery 'twerk' to his 'Lie Witness News' reports, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host has hundreds of millions of views on his YouTube videos.
One of Kimmel's most famous pranks, however, involves children and one of their most prized possessions: Halloween candy. In 2011, Kimmel started the "I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy" franchise. He asked viewers to pretend that they ate all of their children's Halloween candy, record video of the reaction and then send it in.
Every year since 2011, Kimmel has compiled the best submissions into a video and posted it on his YouTube channel. The videos have over 106 million page views since 2011.

Nursing Information Sessions
The following Information Sessions will provide an overview of School of Nursing programs offered at Cal State San Marcos, through CSU State-support tuition (Traditional BSN and LVN to BSN Programs). Each session will include adequate time for questions and answers with our Nursing Advisors. These sessions are optional and are intended for prospective students who live within driving distance and have questions about any of our upcoming Nursing Programs.
Reservations are required. Curently, we do not have any Nursing Information Sessions scheduled for Fall. Please check this page again for dates.
Handouts will not be provided at our Info Sessions. Please print out any of the following handouts to bring with you, or to refer to after our session:
- Assist Web Site Instructions for finding equivalent courses at Community Colleges
- 2014-2015 Supplemental Admission Criteria or Point System for our Traditional BSN program
All of the following Information Sessions are being held at the CSUSM School of Nursing, located in San Marcos, California. Driving directions and parking information are provided below. Please check this webpage periodically for new sessions that will be offered.
Please check back for upcoming dates
For the Accelerated BSN, MSN, and RN to BSN/MSN programs, please visit the Extended Learning Web site: www.csusm.edu/el, under 'Degree Programs'. These School of Nursing Programs are currently administered through Extended Learning, but are taught by our School of Nursing Faculty. The Extended Learning Nursing Advisors offer separate Information Sessions for these Nursing programs. The dates, times, and location of these Info Sessions are posted on their Web site.
LVN Training/Coursework Completed: If you completed military training that is equivalent to the required LVN coursework, you may be eligible for our LVN to BSN, provided you will have a valid CA LVN license and will have completed the CSU Pre-Nursing Core coursework prior to entry to the program. If you completed your actual LVN and/or RN Nursing Courses at an institution which was not WASC accredited (or other regional affiliate) at the time you took your courses, OR your LVN coursework does not appear on a college/university transcript from a regionally-accredited institution, you are currently not eligible for our respective LVN to BSN or RN to BSN programs. For students with such LVN coursework, we encourage you to contact one of our local Community Colleges with LVN to RN programs (MiraCosta, Palomar, Mt. San Jacinto, San Diego City, Grossmont, or Southwestern Colleges.) You may then be admissible to our RN to BSN or RN to MSN programs, once you have completed an Associate's Degree in Nursing and have passed the NCLEX RN exam.
Driving/Parking Directions:
See the San Marcos Campus Map for detailed directions, building and parking lot locations, and parking instructions.
Palomar Pomerado Health (PPH) Building: The PPH building, which stands for "Palomar Pomerado Health, San Marcos Health Center" is located on the northwest corner of S. Twin Oaks Valley Rd. and Craven Dr. This building is located on the edge of campus and has a large "PPH" on the top of the tower, located at the corner of these two streets. You do not need to enter the actual campus of CSU San Marcos to access our building. We are located on the second floor, right off the stairs and elevator. If you are attending an Info Session during the daytime, you will need to park in the School of Nursing area of the lot (marked in green) and display a temporary permit on the dashboard of your vehicle. If you do not receive a permit by email prior to the Session, you will need to pick one up from the front desk the day of the Session. You risk having your car towed if you park in designated areas of the lot without a permit. Please do not park in patient parking. If you park in one of the parking lots on the main CSUSM campus, you will need to purchase a short-term parking permit.
Markstein Hall: Martstein Hall is located on the CSU San Marcos Campus, near Academic Hall and the Foundations Classroom Buildings. Attendees can either park for free at the PPH building and walk up to Markstein Hall, or must pay to park on campus, closer to Markstein Hall. Marktein Hall is accessed via Palm Canyon Drive, from Craven Drive. The nearest parking lots are Lot H and Lot F. To park on campus in either Lot H or F, you must purchase a temporary parking permit from one of the permit machines. The locations of machines to purchase a short-term parking permit are indicated with a small green square and the letter "P", on the campus map, as linked linked above.
