GREENSBORO―Registration for the North Carolina Writers' Network 2015 Spring Conference is in full swing. On Saturday, April 18, in the MHRA Building at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, conferencegoers will attend workshops in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, as well as writing for children, the art of branding, and how to build a literary career.

To utilize the arts for the benefit of North Carolina citizens and communities. The NC Arts Council seeks to create a strong and efficient arts infrastructure across North Carolina; plan and implement economic development initiatives using the arts; utilize the arts as an effective way to teach the public school curriculum, preserve our state's heritage, and provide arts experiences to youth; and provide data models and conduct research that documents the impact of the state's arts industry on North Carolina's economy.

Glendale - Firefighters responded to a garage fire at 7425 North Berwyn Avenue at approximately 4 a.m. this morning, extinguishing a fire which caused an estimated $90,000 in damages and no injuries to occupants of the building.
According to a North Shore Fire Department news release, the Bayside Communications Center received the first call around 4 a.m. from an alarm monitoring agency. While responders were on the way to the scene, two more calls came in and the response was upgraded to bring more equipment and personnel.
Firefighters arrived to find a fire in the attached garage of the community based residential facility, and called for additional support. The fire was extinguished quickly, limiting the exposure of the living area of the facility, though smoke damage was reportedly extensive throughout.
One firefighter was treated for a minor injury at the scene. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

Ash and Dawn as little kids are so cute!! so are the rest of Ashs friends including baby Max
Seriously, the people who make the anime need you for your art style and the guy who wanted this commission in the first place.
Very nice!
i would of have my arrm around may and smileing
Max is so cute!
is like of the ending 4 of pokemon originals series kimono dance ^w^ www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9BgPb…
this is pretty neat
After seeing many 'Macho-Man-Max' pictures, seeing Baby Max is a breath of fresh air.
That is so cute and pretty.
awsome freinds
Great and cute work there! I love how this pic has turned out with everything in it going on!
I doubt that Ash was any time without a cap and I miss Tracey but it's greatly done!
Needs more Tracey.
AAAAWWWWW, that looks so cute and adorable !!! X3
Wow! Really cute, just like the last two!
awww how cute
Aww max is a baby.
Awesome! I love it!
Awwww, cute!
But...(I'm not saying this from a critic's POV, I'm saying this from a Japanese POV.)
Um, people would NEVER hold fireworks up. That is just...scary.
And, the sleeves of the yukatas are...a bit...odd... The whole sleeve dangles, not just the part of the forearm.
And, how can the back side of the obis be a different color if it's made of the same ribbon? Even if it has two different colors, it'd be almost impossible to get the colors to align exactly like that.
...Please don't hate me for critiquing. I don't mean to flame. I love their expressions, Pikachu dancing with them (aww, cuuuute!!!), and all, but I just wanted to tell you that for future reference.
All in all, great job!!!
Good job!
good god you must be freakin rich at this point

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Clinching their first winning season since 1992, rookie right-hander Gerrit Cole had a career-high nine strikeouts over seven innings to outpitch Yu Darvish and lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 1-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
The Pirates (82-61) didn't get a runner to second base against Darvish (12-8) until Marlon Byrd's two-out double in the seventh. He came home when Pedro Alvarez followed with a double.
Pittsburgh had lost a season-high four games in a row since getting their 81st victory last Tuesday at Milwaukee to guarantee their first non-losing season in more than two decades.
They finally have their winning season after taking the opener of a three-game interleague series between wild-card leaders.

Underwater Safari
By DEBORAH L. JACOBS
Published: May 19, 2002
CAN intrepid travelers with a yen for the exotic find happiness at a Mexican beach resort?
That's the question we asked ourselves as we contemplated a one-week getaway to Cozumel in mid-March. My husband, Ken Stern, and I had planned to visit northern India last December with our 4-year-old son, Jack, but canceled the trip as the war in Afghanistan began. We stayed home for the holidays and wondered if our days of adventurous foreign travel were over.
By late winter we were looking for destinations where we wouldn't have to worry about our safety. We decided on Cozumel, off the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, where Ken could dive, I could snorkel and Jack could enjoy the beach. We also hoped to soak up a little Mexican culture.
As we drove through San Miguel, Cozumel's only town, on the 15-minute trip from the airport to our hotel, my heart sank. Avenida Rafael E. Melgar, the thoroughfare that runs along the water, consisted largely of souvenir shops and jewelry stores.
It was a relief to get to our hotel, the Presidente Inter-Continental, in a serene botanical setting in the southwestern part of the island. And by late afternoon I was snorkeling on the reef in front of it. Below me, delicate lavender-colored sea fans swayed in the waves and an electric-blue parrotfish chomped on coral.
The sea on the western side of the island is almost totally calm, a narrow strait sheltered by the Yucatán Peninsula. And it was teeming with life around our hotel. Snorkeling before breakfast was like being in a tropical fish tank. Schools of black-and-yellow butterfly fish eyed me curiously, while angelfish seemed indifferent. Small surgeonfish, their upturned mouths reminiscent of the smiley faces of Pepperidge Farm goldfish, foraged for their morning meal. Nearby a silvery needlefish, a long thin body with pointed fin, darted about.
Our spacious room was on the first floor of the hotel's five-story main building. One door opened into the lobby and the other onto a patio nearly as large as the room. The room had whitewashed walls and a granite floor, and was furnished with simple pine furniture. A picture window looked out on the Presidente's lush gardens of hibiscus, bougainvillea and mangroves.
Although our room was centrally situated, even the most far-flung quarters were no more than a five-minute walk from the hotel's facilities: a pool, a fitness center, tennis courts, a massage hut and two restaurants. The two-story marble lobby, furnished in Mission style, needed a face lift -- upholstery on the furniture there and in our room was a bit worn. Fortunately, the weather during our stay was generally cooperative, and we spent little time indoors.
The half-mile-long beach was delightfully uncrowded, and we never had trouble getting a palapa to shade us from the blazing sun. Although the beach is artificial, it is well situated on top of a reef. Guests can enter the water at one of two small inlets, or climb down the ladder on one of five docks.
There are dozens of dive operations in Cozumel; Ken dove with Scuba Du, which has a concession on the hotel property. Scuba Du's five fiberglass boats, ranging from 27 to 37 feet, left each morning and afternoon from the Presidente dock with a group of divers. Some guests did shore dives on the reef where I snorkeled.
The boat dives Ken took were carefully monitored. Before each dive the dive master, who spoke fluent English, told participants what they could see at the site, the depths to which they would go and the length of time they would spend there. Divers went down in groups of six, each led by a dive master. And Cozumel has three decompression chambers, another element in the emphasis on safety.
In four full mornings of diving, Ken was able to visit almost half of the 17 sites nearby, none of which took more than an hour to reach by boat. Dives at Palancar Caves, Colombia Wall and Punta Sur gave him the experience of swimming through natural tunnels, lined with barrel sponges and vivid soft coral. Along the 125-foot descent through one of these tunnels, called devil's throat, at Punta Sur, there was a large piece of coral on the wall, naturally shaped like a crucifix. At San Francisco Wall, divers saw parrotfish, angelfish and groupers. They spotted eagle rays and moray eels at San Juan Wall, a 90-foot dive north of the town. Here and elsewhere, there were few big fish -- the area isn't known for them -- even though I saw a small barracuda while snorkeling around the hotel.
While 60,000 divers reportedly visit Cozumel each year -- nearly doubling the island's population of 65,000 -- water quality seemed unspoiled, at least on the western side of the island where Ken was. Despite the heavy traffic from cruise ships, he found that the water was not oily or polluted. Underwater visibility during our stay ranged from 40 to 100 feet.
We were less enthusiastic about the food at our hotel. After a disappointing first meal at the open-air Caribeño restaurant -- the ceviche I ordered was made of frozen fish, some of which hadn't fully thawed -- we began taking taxis five miles into town ($5 each way) for dinner. But so many of the restaurants in the immaculately kept colonial town cater to tourists that we found it difficult at first to find authentic Mexican fare.

Man pleads no contest in 2012 killing
A Providence man pleaded no contest Tuesday to second-degree murder in the killing of a woman whose body was found by her sons.
Douglas White was sentenced to serve 35 years on the murder charge and 10 years, to run concurrent, on a larceny charge.
Prosecutors said White physically assaulted Donna Oliver at her home at 25 Grape St. in Providence in April 2012 and that she died as a result of her injuries.{} Oliver's adult sons found her body in a closet on the day before Mother's Day.
White, 35, was also accused of stealing Oliver's 42-inch flat screen television after killing her.
Family members have told NBC 10 that Oliver was helping White because he was down on his luck and living out of his car near her home.

DETROIT (AP) - Two men were accused Friday of selling instructions and ingredients for a powerful "date-rape" drug on the Internet.
Carl Gorton, 63, of Merritt Island, Fla., and John Hedrick, 22, of Colorado Springs, Colo., have been charged in Michigan with one count each of solicitation to manufacture a controlled substance.
State Attorney General Jennifer Granholm said the instructions on how to make GHB, or gamma hydroxybutyrate, were so easy "a third-grader could have put them together."
"Drug dealers who move their operations off the street corner and onto the Internet should know that they're not welcome in the state," Granholm said.
State agents went to the mens' Web site and purchased the materials needed to make GHB, she said. The site included an order form that directed customers to send cash or money orders to a post office box registered to Hedrick.
Three "G-WiZzZzZ" kits were ordered June 29 for $200 each and arrived at Michigan post office boxes in mid-July. The kit included GBL, potassium and "step-by-step instructions that you can do at your kitchen counter," Granholm said.
GBL, or gamma-butyrolactone, is a substance in such products as paint thinners or as a dietary supplement. GBL metabolizes into GHB after it's ingested.
Hedrick has been arrested, but Gorton has not been taken into custody yet. The two likely will be extradited to Michigan to face the charges, Granholm said.
They each face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
GHB is called a date-rape drug because a person who drinks a beverage laced with a few drops can lose consciousness within 20 minutes and the next morning have no memory of what happened.
Since 1990, there have been at least 32 deaths and more than 3,500 overdoses linked to the drug nationwide, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

This paper introduces an asynchronous orthogonal decision-feedback detector (AODFD) for asynchronous CDMA multiuser detection. The AODFD based on entire message-length detection is studied first. A realizable scheme, sliding-window AODFD, is then proposed and its performance is analyzed. In spite of its simple structure, the sliding-window AODFD can perform as desirably as ADDFD, which has a much higher complexity. The reduced complexity of the sliding-window AODFD is due to the use of orthogonal matched-filtering and a short window size. Different from ADDFD that requires computational intensive z-transformed matrix inversion and spectral factorization, AODFD uses the agile Gram-Schmidt procedure. It is possible for AODFD to adopt a simple updating algorithm and parameter updating is no longer always necessary when users leave the system. The comparisons are also made with other orthogonal-based detectors and the bit error probability results show that the AODFD is an attractive multiuser detector

Agribank: leading Vietnam's rural credit market
Since its establishment in 1988, Vietnam's Agribank has continuously played a key role in contributing to the development and significant achievements of the country's valuable agricultural industry.
Mr. Trinh Ngoc Khanh, chairman of Agribank
Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) is the only 100% state-owned commercial bank in Vietnam. Throughout its development, Agribank has always been the largest bank in Vietnam in terms of total assets, operating network and customer base. The bank's market share includes 16% of the total funding sources and outstanding loans that make up Vietnam's banking system as a whole.
Agricultural focus
As of 31 December 2015, Agribank possessed total assets of VND 833 trillion, a broad operating network of 2,300 branches and transaction offices across the country (covering 63 provinces and cities) and nearly 40,000 staff. Agribank's customers include 10 million house-holds, individuals and 30,000 enterprises.
Agribank has played a very important role in the development of the country's economy in general and particularly in the agricultural sector and rural areas of Vietnam – a country in which 70% of the workforce is employed in the agricultural sector and 80% of the population lives in rural areas. The agricultural sector contributes to about 22% of the country's GDP and makes up 30% of its export turnover. Over almost 30 years of development, Agribank has been consistently pursuing its investment focus and upholding its key and leading position as a financial institution providing credit and financial services primarily to Vietnam's agricultural and rural areas. Agribank's market share of total loans to the agricultural sector and rural areas of the country account for around 70%.
Sustaining development
Agribank has a stable structure of liabilities comprising 80% of Vietnam's public mobilization, which is invested in the country's programmes and agricultural development priorities. These include the lending programmes for the food industry, aquaculture, coffee, husbandry, rubber, pepper and cashew planting, the national targeted programme for New Rural Development, the supporting programmes to lessen the loss of agricultural production, the lending programme for social housing, the pilot lending to association models in the agricultural value chain from production to consumption and the models of hi-tech application to agricultural production.
An international partner
Agribank's investment in the agricultural and rural sector has contributed to positive change in the country's economic structure, job creation, infrastructural development, customers' income increases and social-economic stabilisation in rural areas. With its experience and prestige in the rural credit field, Agribank is always the first partner in Vietnam entrusted by international donors including the World Bank (WB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) the the European Investment Bank (EIB, in implementing their credit projects within the country.
Agribank is also a partner and constructive member of many international associations, which include the World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI), Asia-Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (APRACA) and the International Agricultural Credit Confederation (CICA).
Hi-tech Banking
Developing and applying technology in banking operation has also been Agribank's focus. The bank was the first in Vietnam to complete its core banking project financed by the World Bank, which modernized the customer accounting and payment system (IPCAS). Relying on a well-invested technology base, Agribank has achieved substantial progress in governance, management and in the development of advanced banking products, services and utilities.
Agribank's strategy for the coming years will see the bank continue to enhance its key role in the monetary and credit market for agriculture and rural areas: providing diversified products and services that are tailored to the features of each region or area, while maintaining its position as the largest commercial bank and financial institution in Vietnam, committed to contributing to the country's achievements in industrialisation, modernisation and development.

Adding NetBackup credentials for VMware
To back up or restore virtual machines, the NetBackup server requires logon credentials to the VMware ESX servers or the VMware vCenter servers. In the NetBackup Administration Console, do the following.
To add NetBackup credentials
Click Media and Device Management > Credentials > Virtual Machine Servers.
Click Actions > New > New Virtual Machine Server.
On the Add Virtual Machine Server dialog, enter the name of a virtual machine server (vCenter server or ESX server).
Enter the server name in the same format in which it is registered in DNS and in the VMware server (whether short or fully-qualified).
Symantec recommends the use of fully qualified names. The entire name must be properly formed without empty or null elements. For example, a fully-qualified name must include the domain name and not end in a period (.).
The ESX server name is case-sensitive. Enter the ESX server name exactly as it is in the VMware environment. If the case is wrong, the credential validation fails and states "...expecting <correct_name_of_server>."
NetBackup needs access to this server for either of the following reasons:
To browse the server's virtual machines and back them up.
To use the server as a target for restoring virtual machines.
Use the next dialog to identify the type of this server (vCenter, ESX, or ESX for restore only).
In the Credentials pane of the Virtual Machine Server dialog, enter the following:
Virtual machine server type
Select the type of VMware server that NetBackup needs to access:
VMware Virtual Center server
Designates a vCenter (or VirtualCenter) server that manages ESX servers. When you create a policy to back up this server's virtual machines, NetBackup can browse this server and list its virtual machines. If the credentials provide full access privileges to the vCenter server, you can restore virtual machines to this server.
Do not enter logon credentials for the individual ESX servers that this vCenter server manages. NetBackup needs credentials for the vCenter only.
NetBackup 7.6 backup hosts do not support VirtualCenter server 2.5 or earlier. To use VirtualCenter server 2.5 or earlier, the backup host must be 7.5.x or earlier.
VMware ESX Server
Designates a standalone ESX server that is not managed by a vCenter server. NetBackup can browse the ESX server to present a list of its virtual machines for backup. You can also restore virtual machines to this ESX server. To use the server as a target for restores, enter the credentials that provide full access privileges to the ESX server.
Backup hosts at NetBackup 7.6 do not support ESX servers at 3.5 or earlier. To use ESX servers at 3.5 or earlier, the backup host must be 7.5.x or earlier.
VMware Restore ESX Server
Designates an ESX server to which NetBackup can restore virtual machines. You must enter the credentials that provide full access privileges to the server.
NetBackup accesses this type of server for restores only, not for backups.
The restore ESX server type has the following advantages:
For large environments with hundreds of hosts, NetBackup may not need full access to the vCenter server. With the restore ESX server type, you can give NetBackup full access to a single ESX server that is dedicated to restore.
SAN-based restores that go directly to a restore ESX server are faster than restores that go through the vCenter server.
Allows restoring to an ESX 5 server that a vCenter 5 server manages. NetBackup uses vCenter to create the virtual machine. NetBackup then writes the .vmdk files directly to the ESX server using the Restore ESX Server credentials to that server.
VMware does not support the restore of virtual machines directly to an ESX 5.x server that vCenter manages. To restore the virtual machine, select the vCenter server as the destination. As an alternative, you can set up an independent ESX server to be used for restores. You must add NetBackup restore credentials for that ESX server by means of the VMware Restore ESX Server type.
For further information on the restore ESX server, refer to the following Symantec tech note:
VMware vCloud Director
Designates a vCloud Director server. NetBackup can browse the vCloud environment on this server to present a list of its virtual machines for backup. You can also restore virtual machines to this server.
For backup and restore to vCloud Director, both vCloud and vCenter credentials are required (VMware Virtual Center server).
If the vCloud environment uses a load-balancer to manage multiple cells (nodes), add credentials for the load balancer, not for the cells. If vCloud Director has multiple cells but no load balancer, add credentials for only one of the cells, not for all of them. Note also: If the domain name system (DNS) cannot resolve the name of the load balancer or cell, do the following: Include a line in the hosts file on the VMware backup host that specifies the IP address of the load balancer or cell.
User name
Enter the user name for the virtual machine server. Note that spaces in user names are not allowed.
In the Java Administration Console:
To enter a domain name with a user name, use a double backslash or enclose the name in single or double quotes, as follows:
domain\\username 'domain\username' "domain\username"
In the Windows Administration Console, quotes are not needed.
Enter the password (and confirm it) for the virtual machine server.
You can use the For backup host pull-down to select a particular backup host for which to validate the credentials. Note that a backup host appears in the pull-down list if it was added to the master server's Host Properties dialog.
See Adding the VMware backup host to NetBackup.
If For backup host is set to <Any> (the default), NetBackup attempts to validate the credentials using each backup host in turn. NetBackup continues checking only until validation succeeds for a particular backup host or the list of backup hosts is exhausted.
During validation: An invalid user name or password is deleted if you have entered it for the first time and you do not select a backup host. If validation fails for any reason, the entry is removed.
If your VMware backup host is running a version of NetBackup that is earlier than 6.5.4, the credentials cannot be validated. An error message is displayed. You must verify that the credentials you entered are correct for the VMware server. If the credentials are correct, you can ignore the error message.
If the default port number has not been changed on the VMware server, no port specification is required. In that case, make sure that the Connect using port number box is not checked.
If the VMware server has been configured to use a different port, click the Connect using port number box and specify that port number.
Click OK.
If your site has multiple standalone ESX servers, use the Virtual Machine Server dialog to enter credentials for each ESX server.
If the NetBackup master server is clustered, do the following on the other master server nodes to verify the credentials for each backup host.
Fail over to the next master server node, to make it the active node.
On the active node, click on Media and Device Management > Credentials > Virtual Machine Servers and double-click on the virtual machine server credential.
In the For backup host field, select a particular backup host (do not select Any).
If the backup host does not appear in the list, you must add the correct credentials for the backup host. (Click Actions > New > New Virtual Machine Server.)
Click OK.
NetBackup validates the credentials.
Double-click the same virtual machine server credential and validate the credentials for another backup host (if any).
For other master server nodes, repeat step 7.

"I might as well."
Did you think that savvy business woman Sydney Leathers had already starred in a porn movie? The very racy video performance she participated in at the beginning of the month did leave a lot of people with that arguably incorrect impression. Apparently, the public's lack of discernment is what inspired her to film Weiner and Me, which the New York Daily News reports is "a full-fledged porn movie" now available on the Internet. "After I did the Vivid photo shoot a couple weeks ago, people already thought I made a porno, so it was like, 'Eh, they think I did, I might as well,' " Leathers told the paper. So, what drew her to this project? "There is sex, but it has some really funny bits too. That's part of the reason I agreed to do it." We'll leave it to the world's remaining Carlos Danger joke fans to decide if that's true.

It was only a matter of time before the simmering dislike of townhomes in West Seattle bubbled over into violence.
The Stranger rang the warning bell, and it was not heeded.
I'm not a fan of the cookie-cutter suburban townhomes shoe-horned into the city either. However, I get equally fed up with West Seattlites hand-wringing over their "unique and special" neighborhood. Remember their bruhaha over the proposed monorail? Much of the construction in West Seattle are simple, lame post-war bungalows and ranch homes. The 1956 version of townhomes really. Chill out people. Love West Seattle, but sometimes feel they need to get over themselves.
I'm betting one of these activista West Seattle residents burned it down for the reasons stated in #3.
It's one thing to be an anti-townhome snob. But terrorism? West Seattle is spawning snob terrorists. Didn't see that one coming.
Makes you wish the sea level would hurry up and rise.
Unique and special neighborhood? I thought people lived in West Seattle cause they couldn't afford to live closer in. I rarely go there (why would I?) but it looks like one step away from suburbia to me.
The anti-townhome sentiment is a red herring. I'm betting on a builder cutting his losses with a little insurance fraud.
I agree with #7. I live in West Seattle and hate all the new townhomes too but I'm sad that someone did this on purpose for whatever reasons because people were hurt, not just the crappy townhouses.

Notes and Credits (added by kaie123)
Happy surprize project, everyone! Sense you guys seemed so peeved off at me for tricking you guys into thinking I made a Scribblenauts game earlier, I decided to make it up to you by actually making a Scribblenauts game this time. I'm keeping the title screen, though. I don't even care.
Sorry this game is so short, but it took all day just to make 1 level and the Sandbox, so...
Be sure to check the dictionary (the green book button next to the notepad button) to see whats words you can create, because, I am NOT making every word in the dictionary.
Objects also react to their surroundings! Try it out!
P.S., blowing up stuff with a bomb is fun.

anonyfool, as an insider/board member, I believe Vector can start to purchase shares on Monday. I also think this is when our re-purchase program can resume. On the CC, it was good to hear FD say they were bullish enough to purchase $2 million in shares last Q. FWIW, regarding the buyback I had called JP last Q who said they were buying shares. Others on this board had incorrectly insisted they were not buying stock to conserve cash and that I was wrong. Just my opinion.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- Turkey's top Muslim cleric says he now supports calls for the government to allow the reopening of a Greek Orthodox seminary.
Mehmet Gormez met Thursday with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I during the first visit by a Turkish religious leader to the Istanbul-based Patriarchate since 1923.
Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, said he hopes Halki Theological School will be allowed to reopen on an island near Istanbul. The school stopped admitting new students in 1971 under a Turkish law that put religious and military training under state control and closed in 1985.
Mostly Muslim Turkey, which is seeking to join the EU, has small Christian and Jewish communities. The bloc has made improved rights for the religious groups a condition for membership.

Standard Option: Rapid City
Students who wish to receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree can receive SDSU's high-quality nursing education in Rapid City.
The Standard Option is a four-year nursing program leading to a BSN. Pre-nursing students can apply to the nursing major in the fall or spring semester in Rapid City, once all pre-requisite courses are completed or in progress. The nursing major coursework can be completed in five semesters (or two and one half years). For detailed pre-requisite and nursing major coursework, see here:
Our students in Rapid City can opt to take their pre-requisite courses at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Black Hills State University in Spearfish, or at the BHSU Extension site in Rapid City. Students can also take pre-requisite courses in Brookings and apply to the nursing program at our Rapid City site. Either way, students apply for admission to SDSU and will receive the nursing degree from SDSU.
Application Requirements
Before applying to the nursing major, students must:
- complete the pre-requisite courses,
- meet the technical standards and eligibility requirements,
- purchase a laptop computer that meets our computer requirements, and
apply for Fall admission by January 25 and Spring admission by September 25.
Our FAQ and Application Checklist further explain the process. Please contact an Academic Advisor before applying or registering for classes to ensure courses are completed in the appropriate sequence.
Once you are ready to apply to the nursing major, fill out the nursing application, available on this site prior to the application deadline, and send it or bring it in to the Department of Nursing Student Services. If you are planning to transfer into the nursing major from another nursing program, you must send a letter to the College of Nursing stating why you wish to transfer and include three letters of recommendation (one from the dean or director of your former nursing program and two from faculty members).
Housing Options in Rapid City
SDSM&T has on-campus housing available for nursing students. Check out the SDSM&T ResLife Office to see what is available.
The SDSU West River Nursing Facebook page is a great resource for housing opportunities.

She tried to strike him with her bare fleshed hand. He grabbed it in mid air. "Would you like to try again?" he asked with a dark smirk across his face. Yes! She screamed within herself. She hated him and everything he did to her. She loved him but hated everything about him. He killed her hope of her father coming back to her. She looked away from the hard-chisseled face that captured her in such a trance many times before. "He will come back. He loves me, which is more than what I can say about you!" I shifted away from him. He crossed his arms and began to sigh. He leaned on the fireplace as i sat down on the piano in the middle of the living room. I shuffled through the sheet music and found a symphony from Beethoven's 3rd. I began to play. my fingers gently touching the ancient piece. I could feel his eyes burning a hole through my head. He who stole me away in the middle of the night just to tell me that my father's return was hopeless and just a fairytale. Yes, I hated him. I suddenly didnt feel the urge to play anymore and finished the symphony with my own made up tune. I gently closed the piano and walked to the door to exit this treacherous place he was trying to keep me captive in. He glided in front of the door and leaned on the handle. His face was now serious and stricken with frustration. "For the last time your not going anywhere. So sit now." he brushed his hand through his black hair and lowered his eyes at me. "Move." I said in a husk voice. It was five in the morning i had no time for this. He smiled well more of a sinical smile then a happy-go-lucky one. Jackass. "Make me." He crossed his arms back in place and began to hum the same tune i played a minmute ago. "You arrogant-" I stopped myself. "Fine Ill move you." I spoke in a low whisper. His eyes fluttered as I moved closer to him. His breath and mine lingered together as we breathed in eachothers scent. I skimmed my lips across his. He backed up. Yeah wasnt expecting that one now were you. I kept repeating that in my head. I had the control not him. He lowered his arms and then grabbed me by the waist pulling me closer to him. His rock solid chest against mine. He bit my lower lip and then devoured my lips with a need that he must have been holding back for all this time. It was our first but not our last kiss.

Dear Dr. Gott: I'm a 65-year-old vegetarian. Some fruits and vegetables cause me to have digestive disturbances, such as abdominal discomfort, red rashes on my chest and terrible gas. Do I need gallbladder surgery for correction of this problem?
Dear Reader: In some people, a strict vegetarian diet may lead to indigestion and gas. Ordinarily, this responds to the elimination of edibles that are associated with symptoms (such as beans and cabbage). Also, food allergies may cause maldigestion.
Nonetheless, such symptoms could also be related to gallstones or an inflamed gallbladder. But don't even consider surgery until tests, such as an ultrasound exam, have proven that the gallbladder is at fault. Remember, too, that there is nonsurgical therapy for gallstones, involving pills or ultrasound. Your doctor can advise you.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my health report, "Gallbladder Disease." Other readers who would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
Dear Dr. Gott: My son, 40, has been diagnosed, by an alternative practitioner, with candidiasis. To date, the treatment has been a strict diet to eliminate any foods of a yeasty nature. Do you feel this is appropriate or should the problem be handled in a different manner?
Dear Reader: Chronic candidiasis (infection with the Candida yeast) is considered by many authorities to be a "fad" disease that is used to explain chronic malaise, depression and fatigue in otherwise healthy individuals.
In my experience, the candidiasis diet is difficult for patients to follow because it is so restrictive (no sugar or yeast-containing foods).
However, if your son feels better on such a diet, he will not be harmed by following it.
In addition, his practitioner should check him for anemia, an underactive thyroid gland, Lyme disease and other metabolic abnormalities - all of which have been associated with the symptoms I mentioned.
Dear Dr. Gott: I love to eat apples, peanut butter and orange juice.
However, according to TV segments, apples are covered with pesticides, peanut butter contains harmful oils and orange juice is laced with contaminated water. Should I continue to consume my favorite foods?
Dear Reader: For heaven's sake, yes. Everything - and I mean everything - in life carries its own risks.
It seems to me that with all the other worries we have, concerns about trace amounts of pesticides, the hazards of peanut oil and the unlikely contamination of orange juice pale into insignificance.
Of course, you should first rinse your apples, moderate your consumption of peanut butter and choose high-quality orange juice - but otherwise, enjoy your favorite foods.
If we believed everything we saw on television, we'd be a nation of neurotics.
We aren't yet. Are we?
Write to Dr. Gott, c/o NEA-United Media, 200 Madison Ave., Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10016.

Winged euonymus, Burning bush, Winged burning bush, Winged wahoo, Winged spindle-tree
Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold
Staff-tree family
Euonymus alatus
Synonyms: Celastrus alata Thunb.
Euonymus alata is a deciduous shrub that can grow to 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) in height. The most distinguishing features of this plant are the 2-4 broad, corky wings along the branches. However, sometimes individuals may lack wings (as in the cultivar, 'Compactus'). The branches of Euonymus alata are gray-brown in color. The leaves are 2.4-7.2 cm (1-3 in.) long, 1.3-3.2 cm (0.5-1.25 in.) wide, taper at both ends, and are positioned opposite to sub-opposite along the branches. They have short petioles, are finely and sharply serrate at the margins. This plant is very conspicuous in the fall as the leaves turn from dark green to a bright red. The inconspicuous flowers of Euonymus alata appear in late April to June. They usually have four greenish-yellow petals, and are arranged with 1-3 flowers in a cyme. The fruit appear from September to October and are 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) long. The ovary walls are red-purple, and split open to reveal up to 4 seeds with waxy red-orange arils. Page References Gleason & Cronquist 329, Holmgren 308, Magee & Ahles 716. See reference section below for full citations.
Elaeagnus angustifolia None
The fruits of Euonymus alata are usually dispersed by birds. They also drop just below the plant, creating a "seed shadow."
Euonymus alata is native to northeastern Asia, Japan and central China. In the United States it is now found from New England to northern Florida, and west to Iowa and Missouri. It has also been reported from Montana. It is found in all of the New England States.
Euonymus alata was introduced as an ornamental shrub around 1860 and is planted in all types of landscaping - highways, malls, post offices, bridge abutments and private homes. It is through its use as a popular shrub that it was first introduced into this area.
Abandoned Field, Early Successional Forest, Edge, Pasture, Planted Forest, Railroad Right-of-Way, Roadside, Utility Right-of-Way, Vacant Lot, Yard or Garden. Euonymus alata can be located in habitats ranging from full sun to full shade. It can also tolerate a variety of soil types and pH levels. It grows well in well-drained soils and does not tolerate water-logged soils as readily. It is found not only in open or disturbed areas but also in forests as understory plants.
Since the seeds of Euonymus alata are bird dispersed, it has spread extensively from plantings. Euonymus alata plants have been observed in dense thickets, threatening native plants by crowding and shading. Below the plant there is often a seed shadow where hundreds of seedlings can be found. It threatens a variety of habitats such as forests, coastal scrublands, fields and prairies. This plant continues to be used as an ornamental, thus continuing its spread in the region.

Hi! I'm a total novice at using wordpress, but just want to ask a question.
I'm writing a food blog about natural food and I'd like it to look as much like a 'notebook/scrapbook' as possible. I'm using the pinboard theme,
At the moment I've got an illustrated image as my background at the moment, but the best part of it (in the middle) is covered by the 'wrapper' section and I'm wondering if it's possible to put the image as the wrapper instead of as the background and then just have the background as one, block colour. I would then upload posts as media files of handwritten wording on different coloured paper, and so it would still be possible to read the posts over the picture, as they'd have their own background.
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some help here!
Amy, [sig moderated as per the Forum Rules]

Paris Rallies As the City's Restaurants Struggle to Return to 'Normal'
"We are not in a 'normal' state of mind ... But we have to be. There is no choice."
"We are not in a 'normal' state of mind ... But we have to be. There is no choice."
With food from Ludo Lefebvre, Ivan Orkin, and Christina Tosi.
They're just a couple of Brooklyn-Queens guys who rub elbows with the world's best chefs.
"Ja Rule is right behind you" is an instant classic.
Many, many ripples in time.
"It's like the iPhone 9 of food events."
Plus: Missy Robbins at City Grit, and more, in today's Leftovers.
Here are all of the details.
The French guidebook came to town to share its affections for Nancy Silverton, Roy Choi, Joseph Centeno, and a few Paris-imported guest stars.
We have an exclusive link to pre-sale tickets, two weeks before the public can bite.
A little apple honey and mascarpone in Paris.
As we discussed earlier, Le Fooding is going down in Brooklyn this weekend, and our very own Danny Bowien is there. Today Grub Street NY talks to founder Alexandre Cammas about where he likes to eat, and what's going on...
In addition to a good time, it's yet another sign L.A. is overcoming its underdog status and stereotypes.
We sit down with the former food writer as his Brooklyn festival kicks into gear.
The friendly French-food-festival rivals return this fall with competing schedules of dinners, demos, and al fresco feasts.
The best entrant calls out both new-catch herring and a moose-and-lamb pâté. We can get behind that.
This is happening at Le Fooding Brooklyn Fling on September 23.
For MasterCard-holders, anyway.
Radis, beurre et sel, avec KABOOM! Oh, and Mike D. will be there, too.

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

Penguicon Portraits 2011
I took my new camera along to the Penguicon science fiction convention and here are some of the attendees. I don't know the names of everyone here, even though some of these names I SHOULD know, since I've been seeing them at this convention for years. I blame the effects of artificial sweeteners. If you know the names of those who are currently going unnamed, leave them in the comments.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2000
Running Time: 75
Director: Jerome Tanner
Company: Legend Video
Cast: Tara (I), Evan Stone, Teri Weigel, Michael J. Cox, Gwen Summers, Devan Sapphire, Jessica Drake, Dolly Golden, Joel Lawrence, Dayton Rains, Lola (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Light-hearted fare with some good sex for couples and those who enjoy costume-concept sex.
Teri Weigel looks tired during many of her still shots but is a whirlwind of energy when it's time for the naughty sex stuff. Problem is, we have to wait a long time for it to happen; and when it does, she's often at the edge of the action. Teri and Evan play mainstream actors auditioning for a porn flick. Remember, this is fantasy, kids. Actually, Weigel and Stone aren't bad actors. Each "audition" features a fantasy theme: 1950s, beach, an enjoyable three-girl scene with Cinderella and her godmother in a jail cell joined by Weigel and a Love Swing, a private detective with girl/girl clients and Our Heroes' nurse/patient climax. It's silly, sexy fun without a thought in its pretty little head.

Baneful Payback
|Defeat Bane
This is a story related achievement and cannot be missed.
Bane can be a little tricky on the harder difficulty's. While fighting him make sure you tap the to throw a Batarang and pressing twice to evade his running attacks. Once Jokers men start to drop down and cause your grief make sure to use Bane as an advantage. Once he starts to charge at you get him to knock over the other enemies leaving you with a clear shot.

Is it possible to use this plugin in a subdomain multisite environment where the jetpack is under the control of the network administrator instead of the individual child site admins?
I installed the plugin last night and network activated it. I then saw on the parent and all the child sites have the ability to connect jetpack to wordpress.com in order to activate and start using the plugin's features.
How I would prefer for this plugin to work (and I don't know whether it's actually possible or not) is to network activate the plugin, and connect the jetpack for all the child sites under one account, automatically. I would also prefer to control which plugin components are activate so that when I make the change to the network level configurations, those settings automatically apply to the entire multisite network.
Is this possible?

Only the fence is orginal. My son hit it out of the park, but I think the fence is closer now.
My father played baseball here in the thirties and my son here in the 2000's.
