When looking at catching large size / trophy walleye, think big!
The Berkley PowerBaitHollow Belly swim bait has been a very successfull lure to catch trophy walleye. As if the PowerBait® scent and attractant weren't competitive advantage enough all by itself, this Hollow Belly bait is loaded with other features as well that has made it the "choice of champions" when conditions call for a super swim bait. First of all, unlike most other swim baits on the market, the body is truly hollow from nose to tail, and easily collapses around the hook when bit to insure a solid hookset. Its oversized paddle tail creates an unbelievable, natural swim bait action. With its realistic eyes, lifelike colors, and soft texture, the Hollow Belly truly mimics a live baitfish swimming in its natural environment. The Powerbait® Hollow Belly swim baits come packed with three baits, a wide gap hook, a treble hook, a bullet weight, a swivel, plastic tubing, and a split ring. 3/PACK

Look for structures while fishing for walleye
I always been successfull at catching walleye (trophy walleye!) when I concantrated my fishing on lake and reservoir structure. This big 10.4 lbs walleye was not an exception. Look at the below snap shut of the sonar to see that we were fishing right were the current was struggling in between two bays. You have to be patient, before getting this nice walleye on the line, we must have caught over 50 small pearch while jigging! Pearch are considered as bait fish for the walleye, as far as I'm concern, we were fishing right into the best feeding area of the two bays.
I can,t wait to go back to the Cabonga Reservoir for another great wallleye fishing trip!

Curried Pomegranate Pistachio Quinoa
Pomegranate seeds are one of my favorite winter ingredients. I love them in salads, cereal, oatmeal, sauce, you name it. Now that spring is just around the corner I'm trying to use them while I can. I bought some pomegranates the other day not knowing exactly what my plan was for them. I stared aimlessly into the pantry and came upon leftover pistachios from my pistachio cardamom hot chocolate. Inspiration struck! The tart sweet seeds would contrast perfectly against the earthy crunchy nuts, both in flavor and color. So here we are.
This salad is healthy, fast and full of flavor and texture. It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free (it can also be made vegan by swapping the honey for light agave nectar).

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has proclaimed May 6-10 as Senior Corps Week in the state.
According to Quinn, the Senior Corps connects volunteers 55 and older with people as well as organizations to serve as mentors, coaches or companions to those in need.
"We view volunteerism in Illinois as an intergenerational connector, a way to bring people of different ages together," said Brandon Bodor, Executive Director of the Serve Illinois Commission. "Senior Corps and other national service programs are the institutional backbone of that. From support to veterans to disaster preparedness to tutoring and mentoring, Senior Corps volunteers are a constant source of community resilience. This is a week to honor and applaud them for the exceptional work they do every week of the year."
Senior Corps currently links more than 400,000 Americans nationwide to service opportunities, according to Quinn's office.
Senior Corps programs across the state will have service projects and informational sessions to raise awareness of volunteerism.
For detailed information on projects in your area, contact John Hosteny, Illinois Director for the Corporation for National and Community Service at (312) 353-1960.

SOURCE Pomerantz LLP
NEW YORK, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz" or the "Company") (NYSE: HTZ). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at firstname.lastname@example.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether Hertz and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On June 6, 2014, the Company announced in a Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC) Form 8-K filing that, "Financial statements for 2011 should no longer be relied upon," the company said in the filing. "It will take time to complete this process, and previously reported information is likely to change." The errors were related to the depreciation of some of its non-fleet assets and an allowance for doubtful accounts in Brazil, among other items, the Company stated.
On this news, shares of Hertz fell $2.74 per share to $27.75, or more than 8.99%, in intraday trading on June 6, 2014.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, San Diego and Florida, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

Vermont is known for it's picturesque landscapes and breathtaking views, attracting thousands of leaf peepers and skiing enthusiasts every year. But now federal prosecutors say the Green Mountains are also becoming a hotspot for a more sinister crowd. "Vermont has become an attractive place for people from away to come to sell heroin for a premium markup, and that's attracted more serious criminals," said U.S. Attorney for Vermont Tris Coffin. Coffin says the rampant drug trade has become one of Vermont's top public safety concerns. So far this year 65 heroin trafficking defendants have been indicted in Vermont. It's an unprecedented caseload and one that has nearly doubled every year for the last five years. "That's both a reflection of the increase in the trafficking activity and a reflection of the response. We've really tried to crack down on heroin trafficking in this state," he said.Last week authorities made one of the largest heroin seizures in state history. Two New York men were allegedly caught trafficking 9,000 bags of heroin into the state. The drugs had an estimated street value of $126,000. "There was a time where a thousand bag seizure was a huge heroin seizure in Vermont -- that's not a huge heroin seizure anymore," Coffin said.Not only is more heroin coming into the state but Coffin says the caliber of trafficker is getting more dangerous. Many are now members of organized crime and street gangs from large metro areas like New York City. There a bag of heroin sells for six bucks -- here addicts will pay three times as much. "It has to do with heroin becoming a drug of choice for organizations seeking to make money. And it has to do with the fact that when you have an addicted population you've got a really strong demand for that product -- and we have that in Vermont," Coffin said.According to the health department the number of people seeking treatment for heroin addiction is up 67-percent in the last decade. "One of the good things that's come out of this -- I've seen an unprecedented willingness of people to dig in and do the work and partner and team with other law enforcement agencies to get what needs to get done for Vermonters," Coffin said.Coffin says that together, law enforcement is making significant progress, but that more work needs to be done. He estimates that the number of trafficking cases will level out in the next year and-a-half as traffickers get the message -- that if they're caught in Vermont they're likely to be prosecuted in the federal system, where they'll face stiffer penalties.

The Super Bowl is a huge security challenge and one Arizona authorities will meet next year. It may not be as crowded as New York and New Jersey but there will still be a lot of people.
Members of the Glendale Police Department, including the Police Chief herself, traveled to New York City to see how officials there are managing security."We are looking at everything they do this morning. We're walking around with our counter-terrorism people talking about how they are using their dogs, their SWAT Teams, and how they are doing screening on commercial vehicles," said Commander Matt Lively."This has been a great trip, a lot of opportunities to learn from what they are doing here and apply it to a year from today," said Chief Debbie Black.One thing that's happening out here this is group is getting valuable insight into the different challenges in putting on a Super Bowl in Arizona versus New York City. "They have a lot of challenges we don't, they have maritime issues, they have more of the mass transit rail, subway, those type of things. We are learning from all of that while we don't have rail going to the stadium like they do here, but we will have a huge amount of buses coming in," said Commander Lively."The great thing about this is you see all of the fans here at the Super Bowl Boulevard. They aren't paying attention to security because the team behind all of this to keep everyone safe is hard at work. It's just that's what we are trying to create in Arizona as well," said Chief Black.Members of the Glendale Fire Department were also in New York on Saturday talking to their colleagues at the FDNY about what to expect.

I'm going to tell you about a couple of generic political things that I dislike. What I tell you, in turn, may make you dislike me (I mean, more than you already do). In my meager defense, this thing I don't care for is born out of bitter personal experience. Both of them, I'm sorry to report, seem to dwell primarily in the land of Democratic politics.
I cannot stand the games Democrats play with respect to campaign endorsements. When I worked for Jan in 2002, there was a five-way primary. It was clear that not only was Jan the heavy favorite among the Democratic establishment, it was clear that she would have the best shot in the general election. No, the Democrats, mostly in Sarasota, had to stand on principle. "Anyone can run!" they'd exclaim gleefully as I rolled my eyes, all the while apparently blinded to the fact that not everyone should run.
I noted in my last post that I used to think Republicans were the party of campaign discipline (maybe not so much anymore). One of their (admirable, in my view) discipline's was to groom and support candidates early. Did you know that Katherine Harris actually had a primary challenger back in 2002?
Yeah. You didn't. And do you know why? Because the Republican Party ate him up. I don't know that I ever saw the guy. Anywhere.
This wasn't specific to Harris -- this happens in GOP races all over the country. Their system of grooming and promoting from within their ranks is just different than how Democrats do it.
I know what you're thinking: Republicans are a bunch of lying crooks -- at least Democrats have an honest, fair system, at least their standing on principle with respect to primaries and elections.
Stop it. Please.
And while you're getting over your righteous indignation over the purity Democratic primaries, lay off elected officials endorsing candidates, either in primaries or in non-partisan races. I once worked on a race where the person for whom I was working was clearly going to come out ahead in the primary (not Jan in 2002), was head and shoulders above their token primary opposition, had out-hustled them on the fundamentals and had out-polled them as well. And yet the Democratic establishment (specifically some elected officials in the area, but also members of the local Democratic Committee and the Democratic Club) simply refused to endorse.
I found this to be idiotic beyond measure, not to mention irresponsible. While you're mumbling about what a jackass I am, at least read why.
Endorsements matter. Endorsements make a difference. I would love nothing more than to believe that everyone is as informed and engaged as I am in politics and elections. It's just not the case. In fact, we have something of a civic and political engagement crisis today. People don't turn out for elections like they should, and despite how easy it is in the Internet Age to get information on candidates, voters frequently remain woefully uninformed. Thus, when the newspapers print their endorsements, it matters. A newspaper editorial endorsing a candidate will often be the first time a voter has heard of a candidate, and is in fact the moment they make up their mind to vote for or against a candidate.
The same thing is true with our elected officials. When they make an endorsement, it says something. You've entrusted me with the powers of this office, and I believe you can trust this person, too. Our elected leaders have a voice -- it's part of the job. From my perspective, I don't just hope they use it in support of candidates they believe in, I fully expect it.
Alright, here's the back story.
There's an election here in Gulfport -- the City Council, Ward 2. The things you need to know are there are two candidates and these are non-partisan races.
As a brief aside, I can't stand non-partisan races, either. There. Is. No. Such. Thing. I recognize that people affiliate themselves as independent, or with a different party, such as the Green Party, or the Tea Party, or something else. But that misses the point entirely. Everyone has a partisan view on something, and usually on most issues. Simply calling yourself "independent" doesn't make you independent in your political thought. I can say I drive a brand-new Ferrari all the live long day. That does not preclude the fact that what I drive is my beloved Subaru Outback with nearly 150,000 miles on it. Saying I drive a Ferrari may make me feel better, but that's not being true to reality.
I think we have "non-partisan" races for the same reason -- it makes us feel good. Oh, see, we don't let dirty, filthy partisanship seep into our politics here in Gulfport. Nonsense. All non-partisanship does is further obfuscate the political ideologies of people running for office. Like I said before, despite how easy it is to get information on candidates in this day and age, people still don't do it. Adding a protective layer of non-partisanship isn't going to help -- it's only going to hide it further.
Anyway, there's this Ward 2 City Council race, and the two people running are Avrio Taylor and Barbara Banno.
Before I am labeled a hypocrite, let me say up front that I will be voting for Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor came to our door, was thoughtful, and very understanding of our 110 pound dog, our escape-artist cat, and our fussy 1 year-old. Yet he still managed to get in a couple of articulate words in about the PACE program as well as public safety. I appreciated his time, like his materials, and liked his demeanor and approach.
With that being said, let me be clear: this ain't Meek versus Rubio versus Crist, or something. If Ms. Banno were to be elected, I have every confidence she'd do a fine job on the City Council.
Okay, so you know who I'm voting for, and I'm nobody. But it turns out that somebody who is, well, somebody has endorsed Avrio Taylor for City Council as well: Rep. Rick Kriseman.
Representative Kriseman has faded a little heat for his endorsement in a non-partisan election. I don't really understand why. In fact, I applaud his endorsement of Mr. Taylor.
And before you jump my case to point out that it's easy for me to say that, since I'm voting for the guy, let me assure you that I would applaud this had Rep. Kriseman endorsed Ms. Banno.
The reason I'd applaud the Representative no matter who endorsed is because I'd be applauding his forward thinking and his -- no other word -- bravery. Mr. Taylor approached Representative Kriseman. Mr. Taylor gave a speech that Kriseman liked. Kriseman compared the two and made a decision.
And yeah, I think he did the right thing.
To circle this thing back around, let me not underplay the importance of what's going on here. Democrats need to do a better job of building the minor-league field, which one day becomes the major-league candidates. I've talked to Democratic candidates before, even in other states, who have told me they feel abandoned by an establishment oftentimes they have helped build.
Frequently these choices aren't easy. But that's life -- sometimes our choices are hard. My hope is that Democrats think ahead. Let's not sacrifice smart strategy for an idealistic purity which, if we're honest with each other, never existed in the first place.

Derrick Rose is injured and will miss the rest of the NBA playoffs, and it sucks. It sucks for the Bulls, it sucks for NBA fans and it even sucks for those Miami Heat fans that wanted to win the East by taking everyone's best shot. It especially sucks because it happened in such a meaningless moment with the Bulls well on their way to an easy Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Because of that, there's bound to be a lot of second-guessing of coach Tom Thibodeau for leaving Rose in the game when things seemed under control. Rose's injury came out of nowhere, but he also had suffered several nagging injuries throughout the year and may not have been at 100 percent as is. Is it fair to blame Thibodeau for Rose even being in the game in the first place?
Thibodeau bristled when asked the question by reporters after the game.
Tom Thibodeau on Derrick Rose still in the game late in 4Q: "I don't work backward like you guys. The score was going the other way."— Jeff Zillgitt (@usat_jzillgitt) April 28, 2012
On the one hand, this is a predictable response. One of the first things that must be said to comfort a person grieving after a tragedy is that, despite what they think, there's nothing they could have done to prevent the tragedy from happening. Derrick Rose getting injured isn't an actual tragedy, but it's the same kind of freak occurrence that can cause anyone that knows him to wonder what they could have done differently to prevent the outcome from happening. Publicly, Thibodeau can't get caught up in feeling sorry for himself like that. There are games still left to play.
On the other hand, I think his answer reveals a lot about the psychology of a coach in the heat of the moment. Given what happened to Rose on Saturday, it's important to discuss this a bit.
Thibodeau claims that, because the score was "going the other way," there was legitimate danger that the Bulls were going to lose the game. Really, he's just being neurotic. The Bulls held a 12-point lead with one minute and 10 seconds left in the game. A minute and 50 seconds before Rose got hurt, the Bulls held a 16-point lead. That means the 76ers only shaved four points off the deficit in the span in which Thibodeau said was "going the other way." The Bulls could have stood in the frontcourt for 24 seconds and given the 76ers the ball once the shot clock expired, and they still wouldn't have been in danger of losing.
But that's thinking while being separated from the situation. In reality, Thibodeau is hardly the only coach that never feels secure in the heat of the moment. Later in the day, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra put star Dwyane Wade back into the game in the fourth quarter with the Heat leading by 34 points, as if there was legitimate danger that the Knicks could come back. Wade played five minutes before he was finally exiled to the sidelines with the Heat leading by 32. This was after the Rose injury happened, mind you.
That's just one example. Lakers fans have been screaming at coach Mike Brown all season for not resting his stars more when they were being blown out in several games. Clippers fans have every reason to freak out about how much Vinny Del Negro played Chris Paul over the course of the season. This goes on and on. Gregg Popovich seems to understand the importance of getting his horses out of the game when they are no longer needed, but he's the exception, not the rule. Most coaches don't operate that way.
From afar, it's easy to say they should. In a sense, leaving a star in the game when it is decided is akin to not putting on your seatbelt. Sure, it won't matter most of the time, but all it takes is one time for it to cost you. Then, you're negligent.
Problem is, the game isn't played from afar. It's played by passionate players who never want to come out and nervous coaches who never want to do anything to put a game in jeopardy. Blame Thibodeau all you want, but as long as passionate players and nervous coaches exist, these things are always in jeopardy of happening.

A 41-year-old man is sitting inside the Platte County Jail facing possible charges for attacking a deputy and possession of six pounds of marijuana.
The Platte County Sheriff's Office said he tried to run but didn't get far.
Capt. Eric Holland said a deputy tried to stop the man on Interstate 29 near Northwest 112th Street about 9 p.m. Tuesday for routine traffic violation.
The man allegedly then fought with the deputy and fled onto Kansas City International Airport property. The deputy suffered minor injuries.
Holland said the airport was alerted, and operations were not impacted.
Holland said the suspect became belligerent, and the deputy requested backup. Both the Kansas City Police Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol responded.
He was arrested before he made it to an airport runway.
Authorities say they found six pounds of marijuana in the man's car. Investigators say all that pot was inside a suitcase inside the car.
Prosecutors could charge him Tuesday with possession of an illegal drug and assault on a law enforcement officer.

"The quality was great, it didn't look cheap or like something I printed at home like others that I've ordered from other companies. Colors were vibrant and looked just like the picture, I would definitely be order more int he future"
"These stickers turned out excellent. They looked just like they did on the site, no color changing. They are high quality and professionally packaged. Thanks very much, Tiny Prints!"
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."
"I used these tags on the goodie bags for my daughter's 4th birthday party. They were so cute and really went well with the chic pink cowgirl theme. Thanks, pardner!"
"I just needed some simple but fun "Happy Birthday" gift tag stickers without any fixed names to accompany the other fixed names stickers for multiple gifts! These are just adorable."

2013-14 Undergraduate Catalog
Seattle Pacific University admits students with academic characteristics that predict their success in the university programs to which they seek enrollment and who exhibit personal qualities that indicate a contribution to the mission of the University.
In line with its original charter, SPU admits students without discrimination as to race, color, nationality, creed, age, or sex. A strong college preparatory program in high school is recommended and prepares students for success at the university level. In addition to academic ability, such factors as intellectual curiosity, goals, leadership, responsibility, personal and social adjustments, Christian commitment, and a desire to serve the community are considered.
Depending on space available, a waitlist process may be required to manage the entering class. Admission to the University does not automatically constitute admission to the particular program or school in which a student wishes to study.
Specific admission requirements for majors and minors are located in each academic program section in this Undergraduate Catalog. Seattle Pacific University reserves the right to admit any student at its discretion and rescind admission, if necessary.
The same is true for Seattle Pacific University. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, SPU's campus is parklike, combining the latest technology and buildings with long-standing traditions. It's a premier campus only a few minutes from Seattle's bustling, cosmopolitan city center.
There are several opportunities for students to schedule a visit:
Academic Preview occurs in the autumn and is geared toward high school seniors. It is a special opportunity for high school students to experience academic life at SPU by attending major-related info sessions, visiting classes, meeting professors, spending the night on campus, and participating in community activities.
SPU Fridays are day-long events offered in the autumn, winter, and spring. Information sessions are offered to answer your questions about the admissions process, financial aid, and various academic departments. You'll have the chance to tour campus, visit a class, and dine in our dining hall.
Transfer Open House includes a campus tour, meeting current students and faculty, discovering how your credits will transfer, and learning about the admissions and financial aid process.
Individual visit is available if you can't attend one of the organized events. We will be happy to schedule a personal visit for you on another day. Campus tours are offered twice daily: Monday–Friday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Note: Two-weeks' notice is required for class visit and overnight requests.
To arrange a visit to Seattle Pacific University, call 206-281-2021 or 1-800-366-3344 toll free. We'll take care of the details. [Back to top]
Online applications are available; paper applications are mailed upon request. Application materials for admission must meet the following dates for each respective quarter:
Each applicant is responsible for providing all items required with the application, including a $50 nonrefundable application fee. All records submitted for admission become the property of SPU and are considered a part of the student's official file and permanent record.
Students desiring financial aid and scholarship consideration should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the federal processor as soon as possible after January 1 and submit all application materials before February 1.
Find more information and instructions for financial aid applications in Student Financial Services. [Back to top]
Early Action for 2013-14
Procedures for Students Entering Directly From High School
Students completing college credits while in high school, including those participating in the Running Start Program, must follow procedures outlined in this section.
Procedures for Transfer Students
Running Start students should follow the process for high school students.
Washington State Running Start Program
The transfer courses must be described in the catalog of an accredited Washington state community college and must be posted on an official college transcript. At the time of application, students who have not completed any college-level credit after their high school graduation should apply as freshmen applicants and are considered for freshmen scholarships. [Back to top]
Home-schooled Students
In addition, students should submit a copy of their reading list, and information regarding the curriculum used in their home-school program. While interviews are not required, they may be helpful. Some home-schooled students may be required to submit a GED Admission for home-schooled students will depend heavily on test scores, writing ability, and academic curriculum. [Back to top]
Early Admission
Requirements include evidence of completion of junior year in high school, outstanding high school record and test scores, and a letter of recommendation from the high school principal approving early college admission and concurrent high school completion at SPU. Evidence of high school completion (high school transcript with graduation date or GED) is required in order to receive financial aid. Contact Undergraduate Admissions for details. [Back to top]
Advanced Placement/CLEP/International Baccalaureate
Credits are awarded from only official score reports and using SPU's awarding criteria. Awarding criteria may change from year to year. Students will be granted credit based on the criteria in effect during the catalog year the student enters the University.
Examination credits, plus credits from community colleges, technical colleges, and unaccredited colleges cannot exceed 90 quarter credits. Credits are evaluated for Exploratory Curriculum requirements at the time a student enters SPU in accordance with the following policies:
Advanced Placement
A student believes courses may also fulfill major requirements should contact the appropriate department for a review. Students interested in receiving credit for AP exams should have an official score report sent to Undergraduate Admissions at SPU.
*Consult with the Languages Department for placement.
International Baccalaureate
A student who believes credit for an exam may also fulfill major requirements should contact the appropriate academic department for a review. No credit will be awarded for standard-level exams. Students interested in receiving credit for IB exams should have an official score report sent to Undergraduate Admissions at SPU.
*Consult with the academic department regarding placement or major requirements.
All records submitted for admission become the property of SPU and are considered a part of the student's official file and permanent record. Failure to submit transcripts from all institutions attended, including high school (if pertinent), may result in dismissal from the University. See the Procedures for Transfer Students section for information about Direct Transfer Agreements. Advanced standing will be determined on the basis of the credentials submitted by the candidate. In every case, however, the following conditions will apply:
Associate Degree Transfer Agreements
Students who have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an approved direct-transfer degree from a Washington, Oregon, or California community college, or an associate degree from Central Christian College of Kansas, will enter with all University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, including the foreign language proficiency requirement*. These students also are exempt from the Math Proficiency Exam, and most transfer students are exempt from the English Placement Test.
*Completion of an associate degree will not exempt students from foreign language requirements within any major or minor with a specific foreign language requirement.
Most students who have earned an approved direct-transfer degree enter with 90 quarter credits and junior class standing, which exempts them from UFDN 1000.
DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) Associate Degrees in Washington State
The general Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate degrees from Washington state community colleges that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are listed below. SPU also accepts these DTA degrees with corresponding Major Related Pathways (MRPs) in biology, business, and pre-nursing:
Bellevue College, Associate in Arts and Sciences
Pierce College, Puyallup, Associate in Arts
Associate of Science-Transfer Degrees, Option 1 and Option 2
While the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 and Option 2 from Washington state community colleges are also accepted in transfer to SPU, these degrees do not fulfill the same requirements as the DTA degree.
Students who have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 or 2 generally enter with junior standing. At least 15 credits in transfer courses that meet humanities and social science GERs/GURs at the sending institution will be applied toward Common and Exploratory Curriculum requirements in the social sciences and humanities areas, whether or not there is a direct match with SPU's general education courses.
Associate of Applied Sciences-Transfer
Students who have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an Associate of Applied Science Transfer degree, are eligible to apply for admission to the Professional Studies program. Students in this program follow an alternative degree curriculum. General Education requirements may be satisfied through transfer classes reviewed on a course-by-course basis. Students admitted to this program complete an academic minor at SPU and earn a "Professional Studies" major. Generally, these students enter SPU with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundations 1000.
Oregon Transfer Degrees
The associate degrees from Oregon that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer (AA/OT) degree and the Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree-Business (AS/OT-B). Students who have earned one of these degrees prior to matriculation at SPU will enter with all University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in English composition and foreign language*. Generally, students will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundation 1000.
*Unless foreign language proficiency is a requirement for the student's major or minor.
California IGETC Curriculum and Associate Degrees
Students transferring from California junior colleges must complete the IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) and an associate degree in order to transfer to SPU with University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in foreign language* and English composition. Generally, these students will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundation 1000.
*Unless foreign language proficiency is a requirement for the student's major or minor.Students Entering From Regionally Unaccredited Institutions
While the absence of accreditation raises questions concerning the nature and quality of an institution's programs, SPU recognizes that institutions may not seek accreditation for a variety of reasons related to mission, sponsoring entity requirements, etc. SPU will, therefore, review credentials from unaccredited institutions at the student's request. An official transcript and copy of the unaccredited institution's catalog must accompany a written request for review.
If SPU determines that the institution's credits are acceptable, specific credits may be transferred with the following limitations and conditions:
Except as outlined above, the conditions for students entering from accredited colleges will apply. A student transferring from an unaccredited college may be required to present acceptable scores on either the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-I) or the American College Test (ACT).

Student Rights and Responsibilities Regarding Transfer
Rights and Responsibilities of Seattle Pacific University Regarding Transfer
Credits earned at a recognized, accredited institution in areas offered by Seattle Pacific University will usually be accepted without discount. Students who have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an approved direct transfer associate degree (Washington, Oregon, and California community college transfer program or Central Christian College of Kansas) are considered to have completed SPU's Exploratory Curriculum and University Core (but not University Foundations) requirements, as well as the foreign language requirements (except as required in a major or minor). Most students who enter with an approved direct transfer degree will be awarded 90 credits and junior class standing.
SPU considers the University Foundations requirements to be at the heart of its approach to higher education. Therefore, each transfer student is expected to complete these requirements at SPU. Transfer students with junior or senior standing upon admission will complete 10 credits in Foundation studies with 5 credits in UFDN 3001 Christian Scriptures, followed by 5 credits in UFDN 3100 Christian Theology. (Students who have just completed the DTA associate degree through the Running Start Program are expected to complete at least one quarter at SPU before enrolling in UFDN 3001.) Each transfer student with freshman or sophomore standing upon admission will complete the full 15-credit requirement by completing UFDN 1000 Christian Formation, UFDN 2000 Christian Scriptures, and UFDN 3100 Christian Theology.
If a transfer student has taken Bible or theology courses at a member institution of the Christian College Consortium, up to 10 credits may be accepted toward the fulfillment of the University Foundations requirement. Transfer of credit toward Foundation requirements from any other regionally accredited Christian college or ABHE-accredited Bible school may be granted only by petition process.
Note: In all cases, students must complete at least 5 credits of coursework in the School of Theology (UFDN or THEO discipline) at Seattle Pacific University. (THEO 3100 Community Bible Study may not be used to fulfill this requirement.) [Back to top]
Application procedures for international students:
SAT/ACT exams. Seattle Pacific University does not require the SAT or ACT for international freshmen. However, scores do enhance an application and sufficiently high verbal scores may exempt you from completing the TOEFL exam.
Students who intend to enter directly from schools in foreign countries must have a grade point average equivalent to a 3.0 in the grading system used at Seattle Pacific University.
Graduates of high schools in countries where the school system provides for less than 12 years of instruction before college are expected to complete at least 12 years of schooling in their own country before being admitted to SPU. Students may receive college credit for A-level exams if their marks are very high.
Non-Matriculated International Students
Students seeking to enroll in courses at SPU while attended another institution must also submit a letter of permission from their host institution. SPU welcomes international students and encourages them to seek full admission to the University at the earliest opportunity.
U.S. Residents and Citizens Who Are Non-native English Speakers
Applicants will receive a letter of their acceptance/denial to the University. To accept an offer of admission, follow these steps:
All international students are required to enroll in the University Student medical insurance plan. Any exceptions to this requirement require documentation of a comparable plan. Waivers may be obtained only at Health Services and must be completed by the 5th day of the quarter.
Application for Re-Admission
Students who would like to re-enroll after 4 quarters (1 year) have passed must submit all new application materials. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the student if additional credentials need to be submitted.
Admission will be governed by the policies regulating the admission of the level the student is reactivating under (a student who was admitted to SPU out of high school and is reactivating after attending another institution is now considered a transfer student.) Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who have interrupted their study at SPU for more than two calendar years will graduate under the requirements listed in the Undergraduate Catalog current at the time of re-entry. Class standing will be recalculated to include all credits earned and transfer credits accepted prior to readmission.
Orientation/New Student Advising
All new undergraduate students, including transfer students, receive initial advisement and register for classes as part of Orientation/New Student Advising before the first quarter of matriculation.
This is a one-day program that provides students with the opportunity to confer with an advisor about the selection of classes, register for classes, receive an official campus card (Sea Pac Pass), and make financial arrangements.
Once students have completed the program, they will be prepared to go through Orientation/Welcome Week in the fall. Students who enter Seattle Pacific University in Winter Quarter or Spring Quarter meet individually with an undergraduate academic counselor to select and register for their first quarter of classes.
Orientation/Welcome Week
All of these sessions are designed to help new students prepare for the academic, spiritual, and social life at SPU. They also offer opportunities for students to become better acquainted with the University and its programs of study, and to meet faculty and classmates. Attendance at orientation is required and provides students with the essential information for a successful transition to University life. [Back to top]
Required materials for admission consideration include a completed and signed Common Application for Transfers, a $50 non-refundable application fee, an official copy of the final transcript from the institution that granted the baccalaureate degree (showing the granted degree), and any additional transcripts showing post-baccalaureate work.
While SPU may recognize a bachelor's degree from a school that holds accreditation from the ABHE (Association for Biblical Higher Education), the state of Washington does not recognize these institutions when issuing teaching certificates. Therefore, post-baccalaureate students admitted to SPU from institutions that are not regionally accredited must complete an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree along with the teacher certification program if they wish to obtain teacher certification for the state of Washington.
Note: SPU graduates do not need to submit an Instructor Evaluation. Only transcripts reflecting work at other institutions must be submitted.

National average statistics related to farm production mask the diversity in the Nation's 2 million farms and the people who operate them. Farms in the United States differ not only by size (sales and acres) and type of production, but also by organizational characteristics (land ownership, legal organization, contracting arrangements) and financial characteristics (debt, assets, income, expenditures). Farm operators and their households vary with respect to demographic characteristics (occupation, age, education), financial characteristics (dependence on farm income, operator/spouse labor allocation), and management characteristics (information sources, business goals).

Every awards season, there are really only two moments of true suspense during the ceremonies: The reading of the names of the winning film or actor in each category, and the views of the hopeful, pensive faces of those who represent them. Two Best Actress nominees this year will be extra scrutinized as a result of reported "insider squabbling," but really the occasion has led one of the leading ladies to respond with a level-headed fury.
After an ever-trustworthy "insider source" revealed to the National Enquirer (via Entertainment Wise) that "Silver Linings Playbook" actress Jennifer Lawrence and "Zero Dark Thirty" lead Jessica Chastain butted heads over Lawrence's increased awards presence -- "stealing" and "seething" being two verbs used -- the story promptly gained a ridiculous hold. Lawrence's "SNL" hosting spot didn't do the rumors any favors either, with the actress proclaiming about Chastain, "In 'Zero Dark Thirty' you caught Bin Laden. So what? In 'Winter's Bone' I caught a squirrel - and then I ate it. Boom. Deal with that."
There are always calculated and contrived smear tactics like this meant to derail or disrupt certain campaigns, but rather than letting the story continue to simmer in its tabloid pap, Chastain responded on her Facebook page with a slew of insightful and spot-on comments. "I find it very sad that media makes up bogus stories about women fighting in this industry," she wrote. "Why do we support the myth that women are competitive and cannot get along?" She also writes that she's "done two photo shoots with Lawrence" and found her to be "utterly charming and a great talent," and concludes by saying "a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film.
You can read the full statement below, and get properly updated before Emmanuelle Riva and Quvenzhane Wallis naturally duke it out in the next Oscars round. It's certainly a shame that the rumor even had to get this far, but it's another reminder that Oscar season can get pretty ugly before it's over.
I find it very sad that media makes up bogus stories about women fighting in this industry. Filming The Help was the most amazing experience and yet, that is the film Im most asked about in regards to "fighting on set". Why do we support the myth that women are competitive and cannot get along?
I think all of the actresses recognized this year have given incredible performances. But more important, they've all shown themselves to be filled with generosity and kindness. I've done two photo shoots with Jennifer Lawrence over the years and have found her to be utterly charming and a great talent. I've told her how beautiful her film work is.
Please don't allow the media to perpetuate the myth that women arent supportive of each other. Everytime an actress is celebrated for her great work, I cheer. For the more brilliant their performance, the more the audience demands stories about women. With support and encouragement, we help to inspire this industry to create opportunities for women. And as we all know: a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film xxjes

"I don't really like Jessica Chastain."
Funny... thought the same over the last few weeks. No matter which website you open, she will simile at you from a photo somewhere.
Me neither... she reminds me of an ex-girlfriend... and yes she seems omnipresent, pushed too far. I am not interested in watching any single movie with her.
Duder NME | February 18, 2013 11:24 AM
Tabloid garbage spun as "news" for bloggers to regurgitate - seems like an information dirge worthy of a Pink Floyd lyric.
BLUE | February 11, 2013 4:07 PM
I don't really like Jessica Chastain. I feel she is being force fed to us by Hollywood as the next big star. Doesn't mean anything. Whatever happened to Natalie Portman? These women usually only have 4 or 5 peak years to their career before their banished to "older women" roles. and yes that's a "sexist generalization".
Net | February 11, 2013 10:19 AM
"Insider source".... so much bullshit.
Alicia | February 11, 2013 9:34 AM
The National Enquirer makes up "actress feuding" stories on a weekly basis year round. It has nothing to do with Oscar season and everything to do with keeping bored housewives entertained. Jessica Chastain is going to find herself very busy if she decides to shoot down every erroneous story from that rag about her herself. It's their bread and butter. Just ignore them.
