The Dakota Wesleyan University Human Services Club, in conjunction with the Davison County Child Protection Team, will host speaker Jolene Loetscher, founder of Selfspiration, on campus for Child Abuse Awareness Month. The event is free and open to the public. "April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and we were trying to find a way we can draw attention to this cause, as well as educate the public. Jolene, the founder of Selfspiration and namesake for South Dakota's Jolene's Law, was the perfect answer," said Pam Boline, associate professor of human services at DWU.
Dakota Wesleyan University theater students recently returned from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, bringing with them a distinction in stage management and possible job opportunities. DWU junior Morgan Schoenfelder, Blue Earth, Minn., was awarded a Certificate of Merit for her professional approach and execution of stage management in last year's DWU production of "Les Miserables." DWU, which belongs to Region 5 of the KCACTF, attends the festival in each January along with North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota.

The DWU baseball team will sell 50/50 raffle tickets with the winner drawn during halftime of the men's game, and all proceeds will go toward the Weekend Snack Pack program. The women's game begins at 2 p.m.

Dakota Wesleyan University was named to the 2014 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction, in the General Community Service category. The award is a reflection of DWU's service to its community and the world. "Dakota Wesleyan's values are 'Learning, Leadership, Faith and Service,' and we try to not just teach this in the classroom but mirror this motto in our lives," DWU President Amy Novak said. "Part of how we do this is by encouraging volunteerism among our staff and faculty and incorporating it into class projects.
Dakota Wesleyan University is one of nearly 50 universities worldwide banding together to address the global issue of hunger. On Dec. 9, three representatives from DWU, including President Amy Novak, will join leaders from the other universities to sign the Presidents' Commitment to Food and Nutritional Security at the United Nations in New York City. "Food insecurity is not confined to a city, region or country, and DWU is proud to partner with these universities to seek out actionable solutions to aid those who don't know when their next meal is coming," Novak said. "...

Originally written on Total Titans | Last updated 4/2/13
The Tennessee Titan hit the free agent market again on Sunday, adding wide receiver Kevin Walter, formerly of the Houston Texans, and offensive lineman Chris Spencer, formerly of the Chicago Bears. Both players reportedly signed one-year deals for the veteran minimum. When the Titans were first reported to be interested in Walter, I compared him to Justin McCareins c. 2008. Walter is slightly bigger (sort of, 6'3"/218 to 6'2"/217) and older (turning 32 in August, while McCareins turned 30 during the season), but both players are veterans whose only plus attribute is good blocking and whose production as a receiver will largely be the result of offensive design rather than them beating their man. Walter is not in my mind a lock to make the team, and I don't think his acquisition lets the Titans move on from Nate Washington any more than any other move they've made at the receiver position this offseason does. Rather, I think he's a different type of fifth/sixth receiver than Lave...

Lady Gaga came and stomped everyone in the music industry in 2009 so you would think she would be all over the Hollywood scene but that is not the case. Gaga admits that she is really shy and she actually doesn't fit in very much with the Hollywood scene.
"I don't really meet that many other artists because I'm actually kinda shy. I might not be shy with people that I know but with people that I don't know I am very shy," says GaGa.
She also admits that she is very reserved and usually likes to keep to herself.
She says, "I generally really keep to myself and I am focused on my music. But when I do meet people that I have lots in common with it goes really well.
"I always feel shy in the Hollywood scene. I feel a bit like I did in high school, like I don't really fit in," she adds.
Gaga is so popular right now that she doesn't need to try to fit in. Everyone else around her should try to fit in! Besides, that's the beauty of Gaga, she is different from most of the people in the Hollywood scene.

Product description
Orphaned Kit Tyler knows, as she gazes for the first time at the cold, bleak shores of Connecticut Colony, that her new home will never be like the shimmering Caribbean island she left behind. In her relatives' stern Puritan community, she feels like a tropical bird that has flown to the wrong part of the world, a bird that is now caged and lonely. The only place where Kit feels completely free is in the meadows, where she enjoys the company of the old Quaker woman known as the Witch of Blackbird Pond, and on occasion, her young sailor friend Nat. But when Kit's friendship with the "witch" is discovered, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herself is accused of witchcraft! "From the Paperback edition."

Hilo., Hawaii (Big Island)
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
Hilo's rep for rain is a little exaggerated, since most of the rain falls at night, gently on the roof, lulling you to sleep. We have our share of spectacular weather, and when such a day comes during the week, I take my dogs for a dish of Tahitian Vanilla at nearby Hilo Homemade Ice Cream (1477 Kalanianaole Avenue), and then for a crab-hunt among the rocks at Richardson Ocean Park, while I watch and lounge on the little shaded black sand beach. As a bonus, we all love the multiple clear tidal pools here and at the neighboring beach parks. They're very pretty, crystal-clear, and offer safe wading/swimming on high-surf days. If you love this area as we do, there are a number of vacation rentals located steps from the ocean: http://www.hilokonabeachrentals.com/
This is not a place that read in travel books about, although it is mentioned in a few, but it is elegant, romantic, and special and you could spend a few minutes there enjoying the atmosphere.
The garden is very small but very picturesque with stone bridges, pagoda-like porches, fish ponds and mini-gardens situated on top of lava rock.
Just a short walk from there there's the Coconut Island, another charming corner of downtown Hilo and if you look across the bay the picture you'll see will remind you Germany, believe it or not. From the moment I glanced at it I felt like I'm in the Mozel Valley again.
I took a lot of pictures in this park and two of them came out especially nice. Later, I photoshopped them into a painting, enlarged and put on canvas. They now proudly decorate my walls at home.
We went on an hour helicopter ride with paradise helicopters and took the Doors Off Experience Hilo's Fire & Falls Adventure that was 45-50 minutes. Paradise Helicopters were the only ones that allowed the doors to be off therefore the doors off tour is more expensive. Looking at the price it looks like its about the same which is $232 per person. I think we paid like $199pp when we were there. There are many diffrent types of tours you could take. If I could do it again I would do the full island tour.
It took us over the Puu Oo Vent were the lava was spewing which is the only way to see it, that also took us over the town of Hilo, a macadamian nut farm, and towards the end a waterfall. It had spectacular views however the waterfall was a waste of time. You could go one of two ways, with the doors on or with the doors off. We decided to go with the doors off and for the first 20 minutes I was ascared everytime we hit turbulence however it offered the best unobstucted views of the landscape below. We could feel the heat that was radiating from the ground. The helicopter pilot had been doing it for 40 something years and I figured it was not his day to die and he had the experience so I would be ok. He took us over the mountain that had all the steam coming out from it and took us along the river bed and showed us where the lava is burning all the trees. We could of also opted to take a full island trip or the trip to see the northern part of the island that has the sea cliffs but we wanted to see the lava. Now I wish we would of taken the full island trip that takes you to see everything but of course it would of costed more. If you wanted to go back around and see anything you could ask him too over the radio headset. The helicopter took 4 of us and gave every person many opportunities on each side to take pictures. The people sitting in the back had the doors on so we sat up in front with the pilot. The middle seat is very small however so it may be uncomfy. It is also hard to hear at times.
One thing you must bring with you is a camera of course another thing that you will need is a jacket. Belive it or not it is really cold not only that when you go up in the clouds you get sprinkles of water on you and condensation on the lens. I kept having to wipe it off. Your hair is also going to get very messy from the wind. Even in the parts where it was clear weather it was cold.
We booked in adavance to save some money. We did not have to pay till we got there though. I think cancellation is 24hrs in advance. If you do enough research you will find many places that offer helicopter rides or airplane rides and figure out which one is best for what you need to do and what is in your budget.
The pilot works for tips since he only makes minimum wage, which we did not know and paid for the flight when we got there with credit card but no cash on us so he never got a tip from us and I felt pretty bad because of this. So he does take tips.
You also have to pay to park but it is really cheap compared to the main land.
This place has so many things to do. Festivals, farmers markets, great restaurants, arts and crafts, shopping. I wish we would of stayed on this side of the island as it just had more things to do. You have definatley got to try the restaurants hilo has to offer and also the ice cream. Also in hilo you can find many helicopters to take you around the island. There is also many parks that you can spend the day in relaxing and it seems to be close to alot of the main attractions like the volcano national park, major waterfall and so on.
This was a nice park with Japanese gardens, pagodas and lanterns not to mention lush landscapes and ponds fill with fish. The park is a pretty descent size of 24 acres. Apparently it is supposed to be the biggest Edo gardenoutside of Japan. We saw some people fishing in the ponds and a lot of people sitting down with there lunch. It is a nice place to stroll threw or even watch the sunset or sunrise depending on which time of year it it. The trees provided plenty of shade and the park was located right next to the ocean. So if you want to grab something to eat and picnic I would say this would be the best park to go to.
The best thing is it is FREEEEEE
Hilo has a historic town flavor to it, even though its on an island that has only seen 200 years of western settlement. It's worth wandering around the towntown constructed of pre-War buildings, enjoying the slow pace of life and checking out the Tsunami Museum, whose focus is on the Tsunami Hilo suffered in the 1930's -- not on Tsunamis in general (those looking for information on the massive 2005 Indian Ocean Tsunami will be disapporinted). Hilo also has a number od Starbucks Coffee shops, to get you hyped for the rest of your visit. If you are planning on visiting Volcano National Park, you willl be flying into Hilo.
One of my favorite memories of my early visits to Hawaii occurred in Hilo. In 1994, I was traveling with two female co-workers and we went into an unnamed, probably extinct bar where ethnic Koreans in their 60's were swing dancing. As there seemed to be nowhere else to go that night and the dancing was entertaining, we decided to have a mai tai and watch. Soon, 60-year-old men were coming up to me, asking me permission to dance with my harem. Of course, I said, yes and the women had a great time stepping around the high-ceilinged dance floor with their light-footed partners. It was a blast.
Hilo is the island's biggest city but is as untouristy as you get on the island. Tourist prefer Kona and the east coast rather than the wetter west coast which Hilo is on. Despite this Hilo has quite a few musuems and other attractions.
The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, north of Hilo, features so many species of palm trees, ferns, orchids, bananas, bamboo, and other tropical plants that you will be amazed. Who knew there were so many kinds of ginger?
The trails take you past gardens of all sorts of tropical plants, and also offer views of Onomea Falls and the Pacific Ocean. Of course, given the different climate between the rain-ward Hilo side and the dry Kona side of the island, plant species are very different here. Interestingly, the species of turtles and fish are also different. There's so much to see and so much to learn. They'll even loan you an umbrella if it rains (as it often does)!
Across the street from the hotel we stayed in, the Hilo Hawaiian, is a gorgeous Japanese garden in Hilo's Lili'uokalani Gardens, named for the Hawaiian monarch Queen Lili'uokalani.
The ornamental Japanese park was built to honor Japanese immigrants. The Yedo-type gardens are planned around the serene Waihonu Pond in the center, with charming footbridges and gazebos, weeping willow trees, azaleas by the score, bamboo glades, and acres of manicured green grass. It is always open and very easy to walk around for children and adults of all ages.
Hilo is a quaint rural city surrounded by rainforests on the island's eastern coast. Hilo, the state of Hawaii's fourth largest city, is a colourful port town that lies along a lovely crescent bay. When the coast is clear, you can often see snow-capped Mauna Kea.
There is a wonderful scent of ginger blossoms in the air that bloom in abundance in the Liliu'okalani Gardens which wind along Banyan Drive. It features Japanese-style gardens with fishponds, torii gates, oriental bridges, pavilions, pagodas, sprawling banyans, and a ceremonial teahouse.

Top Ten Best "Unflattering Beyoncé" Memes
Beyoncé Knowles. The voluptuous pop goddess is breathtakingly beautiful and an impassioned role model to her buzzing BeyHive. Needless to say, it's hard to hate the lovely Queen Bey.
But when a series of awkward, mean-muggin' pics of the star surfaced after her halftime-show performance at the 2013 Super Bowl, the internet went cray. Beyoncé's been superimposed everywhere from a zombie apocalypse to the wrestling ring (alongside beefy "Suck It!" gesturing duo D-Generation X). And it doesn't matter that she's banned all photography at her shows. Because Unflattering Beyoncé is a meme icon.
And in honor of the diva's visit to South Florida, we've chosen the creme of the Beyoncé meme crop to share here.

Active within 24 hours
I'm a fun loving woman looking for a man who's kind, honest and ready to share a life together. Looking forward to getting to know you!
I have always been a hard working & outgoing person. I have a great career and work hard to keep a balance between work and life although sometimes the balance can swing towards work. I'm very close to my family and I have great friends.... and I'm looking for a great guy to share my life with. My friends would describe me as a loyal friend who's supportive and fun to hang out with. I can be a little shy at first, but my humour and wit comes out as I'm getting to know someone. I love to travel - from weekends away to big trips abroad. At home I enjoy cooking and like to try various recipes or it can be as simple as eggs for dinner. In my spare time I like doing different things from exploring the city & doing some shopping, to being lazy at home with reading or catching up with tv. I admit, I'm not a natural athlete but I do like to live an active lifestyle. I've recently gotten into running... I finished my first half marathon a couple of years ago and started up again. I like going to the gym and try to head outdoors for some golf, skiing, or hiking... ABOUT YOU: You are intelligent, motivated & outgoing.... I'm looking for a man, who wants to share our lives together, with chemistry both intellectually and physically. I'm pretty easy going, & I like a good debate as much as goofing around and laughing until my stomach hurts. I'd love to get to know someone who shares my passions, but adds his own passions as well. Variety is the spice of life. Looking forward to getting to know you....
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Bowling, Dancing, Golf, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Some of my favourite travel destinations are Europe (Serbia, Italy, France); Central/South America (Costa Rica, Venezuela). Perfect weekend city getaways include New York, Vegas, Montreal
good music, good food, good wine late mornings, brunch, a good snuggle, good coffee.

Restaurants in Beijing
You won't have to look far to find great restaurants in Beijing. Plenty of internationally known spots carry fusion or European inspired dishes.
The city is famous for Peking Roast Duck, a specialty at many Beijing restaurants. There is often street food sold from carts (to try with discretion) that open early and late for breakfast and late-night meals. Zuǒ Lín Yòu Shè focuses specifically on Beijing cuisine, serving up classic like dumplings to the unique deep fried pork balls. It's easily accessible, right in the heart of the city.
Lìqún Roast Duck Restaurant is further off the beaten path, found amidst surviving hutong, or alleyways, with a courtyard setting. Despite the appearance and hard-to-find location, the place serves the best Peking duck around. Xiānhè Lóu has barbecue ribs and savory pork that is wrapped up in the typical Chinese "pancake." Try Yáng Fāng Lamb Hotpot for the spicy and mild version of the regional classic hotpot. (Come prepared, since little English is spoken here) Zhāng Māma is a Sichuanese gem near Houhai Lake, serving the typical fiery dishes with delicious broths of Restaurants in Beijing.
"Fine cuisine" is not usually the first thing that pops to mind when talking about the government. In this case though, the Sichuan provincial office hosts a restaurant, highlighting the fiery spice of Sichuan fare. Each province is represented by an official restaurant in Beijing.
This venue is closed.
With its burnished red tables, hanging lanterns, converted-cyclo chairs, and silk-clad waitresses, Nuage is a little slice of old Saigon in downtown Beijing.
While in the big city, some feed the ducks, while others like to feed on the ducks. Those in the latter persuasion need look no further than this Chaoyang district restaurant.
Designed by a New Yorker, this edgy lounge and restaurant is definitely not for the whole family. Bold canvases, antique opium beds, and polished concrete set a trendy yet chill atmosphere inside this alley location in an old siheyuan, or multi-building house with a central courtyard.
Graffiti art covers the walls of Ireland-born chef Brian McKenna's 2010-opened restaurant/lounge, which turns out whimsical, Chinese-inflected creations (chicken wontons with avocado-and-lime dip; raspberry-and-herb-infused chocolate pop tarts).
"Father of the Nation" Sun Yat-Sen was a member of the "Hakka" people, migratory Han Chinese who speak their own language and maintain their own, unique cultural traditions. Visit this Dongcheng neighborhood restaurant to taste their traditional approach to food.
Wake up with coffee and green tea ice cream! Starbucks's comfy booths and free Wi-Fi are welcome before a long flight. Buy a Starbucks-branded Great Wall mug ($13) and a grande cappuccino ($4), or stop next door at Häagen-Dazs for a small cone ($4).
For an authentic Peking Duck experience, locals swear by Dadong, just a 10-minute walk from Chaoyang Park Beach. After a complex process of inflating and drying their skins, the birds are roasted in fruitwood-fueled brick ovens.
As the name implies, it's all about the roast Peking duck at this Chongwen district restaurant. The Quan Ju De brand (government-affiliated) began in 1864, and now has many locations across China.
The most fabulous of the restaurants in the sprawling China World Hotel, Aria attracts a hip, well-dressed, and largely Western-expat crowd.
The convivial atmosphere and tender duck pancakes make it one of the top places to try Beijing's most famous dish, peking duck.

Gear Question
Other than the weight, what is the difference...
Other than the weight, what is the difference between the Raven Pro and Ultra? Can they both be used for the same purposes?

There isn't much besides the weight. The pick end is shaped differently to reduce weight. Only if you're counting grams would you need the ultra
