You may have caught first-time Oscar winner Sandra Bullock telling perennial Oscar winner Meryl Streep that she's "such a good kisser" during her well-received acceptance speech. Lest you forgot, Sandra and Meryl made headlines at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards in January when they split the award for best actress and then shared a kiss that was broadcast live on VH1. (Clip below!) Backstage at the Oscars, Sandra explained to the press why she adores Meryl and loved their smooch.
"No one expects Meryl to roll with the flow like that. Nobody knows how much fun she is. That's why it made the headlines. She's an awesome broad. She's an extraordinary actress, but she's also a fun human being."
So it's all about fun, huh? If only Jeff Bridges and George Clooney would show us their fun sides!

I approached the building again as always wearing wires concealed by my unborn child hunger returned while I feasted on raw celery sticks and half eaten chicken bones I'd wonder where exactly I belonged here among the fallen the dead beings reaching for honor in a forgotten world where stars and stripes stare down at humility while
a sudden flush of freedom simply takes your breath away panting occurs as air becomes a personal diamond mine prepared for the willingly to die spies seeking solace behind enemy lines of stolen dogtags of rewritten survival skills sending chills of fear in a childlike expression covered beneath wartime benefits and maritime housing corporation tainted beyond the meek the weak who reaps for us in a senseless notion of where home was found after we return to glory shores and meaningless emotional balance trapped in tomorrow's yesterday

It's one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, with nearly 200,000 passengers expected to pass through Bush and Hobby airports on Saturday and Sunday. Those are some of the highest volume days of what aiport officials consider a 13-day holiday travel period, starting last Friday and continuing through Tuesday. The Houston Airport System's Roger Smith says a lot of that air traffic is spread out because of school schedules. "These days nearly all public school systems take the entire week of Thanksgiving off, so the crush of Thanksgiving travel is spread out over a period of about nine or ten days, whereas is used to be very, very busy on the Tuesday and Wednesday right before the holiday. So it's a lot easier for everyone, both the airports and the airlines, to handle what we get during Thanksgiving week," he says.
Officials say air traffic is slightly up this Thanksgiving holiday compared to last, with more than a million expected to have traveled before the end of Tuesday. Smith says the rules remain the same for those picking-up family members or dropping them off at the airport as the holiday winds down. "Active loading and unloading at curbside means that you either have to be getting in, getting out, or putting your luggage in or getting your luggage out while you're at curbside. If you're just sitting there, then the police or security officer will ask you to move along," he says.
Smith says for those who choose to wait inside the terminals at Houston's two big airports will find very affordable parking. "Bush Intercontinental and Hobby have as fine a parking rate as you'll ever see at big city airports. An hour and a half for $1 or $2 for three hours. You just can't beat that and in our secured parking garages there is ample space and people, if they want to do it that way, should take advantage of that," he says.
Intercontinental also has two cell phone lots near the airport, short-term parking areas where people wait until they're notified by passengers via cellphone that they've landed and are ready to be picked-up.

Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a four-week period in January during which faculty and students are freed from the rigors of regularly scheduled classes for flexible teaching and learning and for independent study and research. IAP is part of the academic program of the Institute—the "1" month in MIT's "4-1-4" academic calendar. Students are encouraged to explore the educational resources of the Institute by taking specially designed subjects, arranging individual projects with faculty members, or organizing and participating in IAP activities. They may also pursue interests independently either on or off campus.
Departmental programs may require students to complete a subject (of no more than 12 units) during one IAP.
More than 600 activities are offered each year on a wide range of topics, both academic and nonacademic. In addition, "special subjects" exist in most departments, for which students can arrange credit for individual work.
Many IAP activities, both credit and noncredit, are organized each fall. They are advertised, beginning in early November, on the IAP website at http://web.mit.edu/iap/.
Nonacademic activities may be organized or attended by members of the MIT Community: faculty, students, and employees. Tips on organizing an IAP activity are available on the web at http://web.mit.edu/iap/. Organizers may approach MIT departments and organizations to help defray expenses.
Students find organizing IAP activities a rewarding challenge. For many, it is their first opportunity to develop and teach a program from their own ideas. In doing so, they acquire organizational and leadership skills that prove invaluable to their careers.
Regular students paying full tuition in either the fall or spring term do not have to pay additional tuition or room fees to the Institute during IAP. Students who have not been charged full tuition in either the fall or spring term are subject to additional tuition charges and should consult the Registrar's Office, Room 5-119, 617-258-6409. MIT Dining provides food service options through retail, house dining, and catering services throughout the entire academic year, including IAP. (The regular meal plan program does not include IAP, but students may pay the cash door price). For operating hours and locations, visit http://dining.mit.edu/.
Students should follow directions published on MIT's IAP website at http://web.mit.edu/iap/ regarding registration for subjects. In addition to regular subjects, students may make arrangements to earn credit for independent work under faculty supervision. No student may earn more than 12 units of credit during IAP. Credits received by freshmen during IAP are not counted toward their credit limits for fall or spring term.
All credit-bearing subjects are graded according to the grading rules approved for that subject number. A subject can be graded P/D/F only if it has been approved with P/D/F grading. Similarly, the number of units awarded must be as specified for that subject. However, faculty sometimes teach new classes under special subject numbers for which credit units are arranged.
For students to receive credit for work done in IAP, instructors must submit grades to the Registrar's Office by the deadline given in the academic calendar. If a grade is received after the Add Date of the succeeding term and the student did not register in the subject during IAP, the student must petition to receive credit. IAP credit will not be given if the grade is received after the end of the succeeding spring term.
Students may view their IAP grades on WebSIS shortly after the start of the spring term. Students who do not receive grades when expected should check promptly with their instructors or the Registrar's Office to ensure the grades are submitted and recorded.
Applications for special student status solely for IAP will not be accepted. Special students admitted to the fall or spring term must consult the Admissions Office concerning their status during IAP; they do not automatically have IAP privileges. If the special student has paid full tuition during the fall term or is admitted to do so in the spring, there will not be an additional tuition charge for IAP. If the student has not been paying full tuition, a charge for the IAP units will be added to either the fall or spring term up to a maximum of full tuition for the term.
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) invites undergraduates to participate in a wide range of research activities that are available in every academic department and most interdisciplinary laboratories and centers in collaboration with MIT faculty.
There are many advantages to becoming involved in such pursuits as early as possible in an undergraduate career: establishing ties to faculty, investigating a potential major, acquiring data-gathering and laboratory techniques, exploring the frontiers of a field, undertaking topics not amenable to the classroom, facing a real-world problem, and establishing a focus for educational experiences. Through UROP, students may gain a better understanding of the intellectual process of inquiry, while having the opportunity to experience personal and professional growth. Students may earn pay or academic credit, or may work on a volunteer basis. Whatever the chosen mode, all UROP work is expected to be worth academic credit.
Guidelines for participating are available online at http://web.mit.edu/urop/. This website lists UROP contacts for Institute departments, laboratories, and centers. While these people are prepared to assist students, a certain amount of footwork and negotiation is required to achieve a satisfying collaboration. The UROP experience is unlike any other; its benefits and rewards are great, but expectations and standards are commensurate. For advice and assistance, contact UROP staff in the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming, Room 7-104, 617-253-7306, fax 617-258-8816, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Freshman Advising Seminars (FAS) program is available only to first-term freshmen through an online application. Freshman Advising Seminars are one option for freshman advising. A Freshman Advising Seminar is typically led by a faculty member who also serves as the freshman advisor to the small group of seminar advisees. While FASes vary in style and topic, most are oriented to group discussion and offer an opportunity to interact closely with faculty. All Advising Seminars receive six units of credit and are graded P/D/F.
Information about the Freshman Advising Seminars program, including titles, descriptions, and application information for incoming freshmen, can be found at http://web.mit.edu/firstyear/. This website is maintained by the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming, Room 7-104, 617-253-6771, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Interphase EDGE (Empowering Discovery|Gateway to Excellence) is a two-year scholar-enrichment program that includes a seven-week summer session as well as programming during the academic year. The focus of the summer program is to give scholars an introduction to the MIT experience by exposing them to the rigors of a full subject load and to life on campus.
In addition, the Interphase EDGE curriculum is uniquely designed to impart pivotal concepts that will increase long-term academic success. The program is designed not only to give students an "edge" on their MIT experience, but also to catalyze their successes beyond MIT. During the summer and academic year, scholars will participate in a range of personal and educational development seminars and activities designed to ensure their smooth transition to college life. Throughout the academic year, scholars will continue to build upon the relationships created during the summer by attending biweekly meetings with EDGE advisors and monthly professional and academic enhancement events, including programs that expose them to various career pathways.
For more information, contact the Office of Minority Education at 617-253-5010 or visit http://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/interphase-edge-empowering-discovery-gateway-excellence/.
The Edgerton Center offers a wide variety of courses for both undergraduate and graduate students, and provides resources and opportunities for students to pursue hands-on projects, UROPs, and other activities.
Named for Professor Harold Edgerton, whose high-speed photography legacy lives on with the Strobe Alley exhibition of Edgerton photographs, the center can provide students with a workplace, a place to test equipment, access to the Student Machine Shop, or simply advice and encouragement. The laboratory, classroom, and studio are located in Strobe Alley on the fourth floor of Building 4. For more information on using facilities, contact Jim Bales at email@example.com or Amy Fitzgerald at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Student Shop is located in Room 44-023 and offers regular training sessions for use of CNC mills, lathes, a 3D printer, and more. Contact manager Mark Belanger at firstname.lastname@example.com for access and training.
Subjects offered include introductory electronics, digital photography, and classes in international development (D-Lab classes). In addition, Doc Edgerton's Strobe Project Laboratory is taught each term by assistant director Jim Bales. A listing of the subjects offered can be found at http://edgerton.mit.edu/academics/.
The center supports a range of student clubs and teams including the Solar Electric Vehicle Team, the Marine Robotics Team, and others. We provide teams with a space to work, some funding, administrative support, and a team coordinator. Students interested in starting up a new team should contact Sandi Lipnoski, firstname.lastname@example.com.
International development is a potent area of interest for students and faculty, and is a key part of MIT's goal of advancing global education.
D-Lab (http://d-lab.mit.edu/) is a program that fosters the development of appropriate technologies and sustainable solutions within the framework of courses and field trips. There are several academic offerings that make up the suite of D-Lab classes, falling into the broad categories of development, design, and dissemination. For more information about D-Lab, visit http://d-lab.mit.edu/ or contact Elisha Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 617-324-4887.
The Edgerton Center Outreach Program gives MIT students an on-campus opportunity to teach engineering and science to 4th through 8th graders from area schools. Topics include mechanical engineering, circuits, optics, biology, and more. Contact Amy Fitzgerald at email@example.com or 617-253-7931 to become involved.
The faculty director of the Edgerton Center is Professor J. Kim Vandiver, Room 10-110, email@example.com. For general information, contact Sandi Lipnoski, Room 4-408, 617-253-4629, email@example.com, or visit http://edgerton.mit.edu/.
Grading options are intended to provide students with the opportunity to explore new and challenging subjects and to broaden their educational experience with reduced effect on term and cumulative ratings. These options must be approved by the student's advisor and designated by Add Date.
Sophomore Exploratory. Sophomores may designate one subject as exploratory in each of their fall and spring terms. An exploratory subject is one in which the student may either accept the grade awarded in the subject or change the subject to listener status through Registration Day of the succeeding term. Students receive no credit for listener subjects, which do not appear on transcripts. Any subject may be designated as exploratory—including an Institute, departmental, or minor requirement or a cross-registered subject taken at another school.
Junior-Senior P/D/F. A student may take a total of two subjects to be graded P, D, or F during his or her junior and senior years, where P indicates C or better performance (C- with modifier used within MIT). Such subjects may not be used to fulfill the General Institute Requirements or departmental or minor requirements. However, the subjects will count in the units completed beyond the General Institute Requirements.
There are a number of opportunities for MIT undergraduates to study at other universities, including study abroad, domestic study away, and cross-registration programs with local universities. Students who spend a term or a year studying abroad or at another US university find that in addition to the intellectual benefit, they are enriched by day-to-day exposure to different cultural and/or social experiences. Through the cross-registration programs students may take subjects not offered at MIT.
Through the Cambridge-MIT Exchange Program (CME), undergraduate MIT students can spend their junior year studying at the University of Cambridge in England.
Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge consists of 31 self-governing colleges where students live and study in a supportive educational environment. Lectures, laboratories, and project work are organized by the university; the colleges organize small-group sessions ("supervisions") designed to complement the lectures. In addition to teaching, research is of major importance at Cambridge. Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 60 members of the University of Cambridge have won Nobel Prizes.
MIT students who study for a year at Cambridge receive sufficient transfer credit to permit normal progress toward their MIT degree. Participating departments include Aeronautics and Astronautics; Biology; Brain and Cognitive Sciences; Chemical Engineering; Chemistry; Civil and Environmental Engineering; Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences; Economics; Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (including Course 6-3); History; Mathematics; Mechanical Engineering; and Physics.
While on the exchange, MIT students pay tuition to MIT; they are billed at Cambridge for the costs of room and board only. While away at Cambridge during the fall and spring semesters, a student maintains full-time student status at MIT.
Interested students should discuss their plans with CME faculty coordinators in the departments as early as possible. For further information, students should contact Sarra Shubart, program coordinator, 617-253-6057, email@example.com, or their departments. A list of CME faculty coordinators and administrators in each department can be found at http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/explore/cme/start/.
The MIT-Madrid Program gives students the opportunity to study in Madrid for the spring term during their sophomore or junior year. Depending upon major and interests, students can choose science and engineering courses at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and/or humanities, arts, and social sciences courses at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid; instruction and coursework are in Spanish. These are leading universities in Spain, each with its distinguished tradition and history. In addition to academic courses, students can participate in an internship during this program. Students who plan to participate in MIT-Madrid must be in good academic standing and have taken Spanish IV at MIT or its equivalent. MIT-Madrid Program participants are placed individually with Spanish families in homestays. For more information visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/explore/madrid/.
The IAP-Madrid Program is a Spanish II language program taught by MIT faculty in Madrid, which is open to MIT undergraduate and graduate students. For more information, visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/explore/madrid_iap/.
The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics offers study at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. For more information, visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/explore/.
The Department of Architecture has two exchange programs, one with Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and the other with the University of Hong Kong. For more information visit http://architecture.mit.edu/undergraduate-foreign-exchange.html.
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has exchange programs with Oxford University and Imperial College London. For more information contact Professor Linn Hobbs, 617-253-6835, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Department of Political Science has an exchange program with Sciences Po in Paris, France. This program is open to other majors as well, although the course offerings consist largely of HASS. For more information, visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/explore/exchange/.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an exchange program with ETH-Zurich in Switzerland. For more information, contact Josh Nupp, 617-715-5331, firstname.lastname@example.com.
MIT students may also apply for admission directly to foreign institutions that offer study abroad programs or to a study abroad program administered by another US institution or study abroad provider. Examples of such opportunities include l'École Polytechnique in France, the London School of Economics, Oxford University and other UK institutions, and a number of programs in China. To explore these options, and many other exciting opportunities around the world, schedule an appointment with a staff member in Global Education (email@example.com), 617-324-7239, Room 12-189.
Students interested in study abroad should begin planning as early as possible. They should meet with a staff member in Global Education and work out their plans with a faculty advisor and appropriate transfer credit examiner(s) in the department. They also must complete a Worksheet for Planning Study Abroad/Domestic Study Away (http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/prepare/) in order to gain approval for study abroad. While on an approved study abroad program during the fall and/or spring term(s), a student maintains full-time student status at MIT. Although it is most common to study abroad during the junior year, it is also possible to participate in a study abroad program in the sophomore year or, in some cases, in the senior year. Study during IAP and/or summer are popular options as well.
Financial aid is portable for semester or year study abroad programs. Students who receive financial aid at MIT are advised to discuss their study abroad plans with the Student Financial Aid Office at least one term prior to the term in which they wish to commence study abroad. This will help students develop the best possible financial plans for their time abroad. Global Education has funding available for IAP and summer programs, and can also help students apply for external study abroad scholarships.
Numerous institutions offer programs abroad taught in English. It is possible to study in a foreign country without prior knowledge of the host country's language. However, a working command of the language can add greatly to the overseas experience. Even a student without prior language skills can usually achieve a good level of proficiency in a foreign language by the beginning of the junior year if he or she begins language study by spring term of freshman year.
With proper planning and preparation, students who successfully complete an approved program of study abroad receive transfer credit toward their MIT degree. While at the host institution, students must arrange to have an official transcript sent directly to the MIT Registrar's Office showing coursework and final grade(s) completed at the outside institution. Upon return, they must submit a completed Request for Additional Credit Form, signed by the appropriate transfer credit examiner(s).
For further information, contact Global Education, Room 12-189, 617-253-0676, firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/.
Students may choose to spend from one term to one year studying at another academic institution within the US. Students studying at another US university usually pay tuition to the outside institution rather than to MIT. While on an approved domestic study away program during the fall and/or spring term(s), students maintain full-time student status at MIT. Students interested in domestic study away should make an appointment with a staff member in Global Education, Room 12-189, email@example.com.
To qualify for Domestic Year Away status, students must show that their proposed program of study draws upon resources available at the outside institution that are not generally available at MIT, or at the institutions with which MIT has cross-registration privileges. In addition, a planned program of study should be consistent with an overall degree program at MIT. Students must be accepted by a school of established academic merit and undertake a workload comparable to that at MIT. Students planning to spend time studying at another academic institution in the US need to work out their plans with a faculty advisor and appropriate transfer credit examiner(s) and must complete a Worksheet for Planning Study Abroad/Domestic Study Away (http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/study/prepare/).
With proper planning and preparation, students who successfully complete an approved program of study at another US university receive transfer credit. While at the host institution, students must arrange to have an official transcript sent directly to the MIT Registrar's Office showing coursework and final grade(s) completed at the outside institution. Upon return, they must submit a completed Request for Additional Credit Form, signed by the appropriate transfer credit examiner(s).
For further information, contact Global Education, Room 12-189, email@example.com or visit http://gecd.mit.edu/go_abroad/.
Subjects taken through cross-registration programs with Harvard and Wellesley may be used to fulfill departmental major and minor requirements with the permission of a faculty advisor.
When appropriate, cross-registration subjects taken for a letter grade at Harvard and Wellesley may count toward fulfillment of the HASS Requirement; in most cases, students must submit a petition to the Subcommittee on the HASS Requirement. Subjects may be designated as part of the Concentration for the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at the discretion of the designated advisor in that field of concentration.
MIT undergraduates are permitted to take subjects at Harvard University (except Harvard Business School, Harvard Extension School, and Harvard Summer School) for degree credit at no extra charge. This cooperative arrangement is not applicable to the summer session. In general, MIT students take subjects at Harvard which are not offered regularly at MIT. Cross-registration is limited to upperclass students who must be regularly enrolled at MIT and paying full tuition for the term in question. No more than half of a student's registration (up to a maximum of 24 units) may be taken at Harvard in any one term.
Where appropriate, Harvard subjects can count toward fulfillment of the HASS Requirement; in most cases, students must submit a petition to the Subcommittee on the HASS Requirement. Letter grades earned in Harvard subjects appear on the transcripts of MIT undergraduates. Detailed information about the Harvard cross-registration option for undergraduates is available at http://web.mit.edu/registrar/reg/xreg/ugradMITtoHarvard.html.
MIT students may cross-register for any courses at Wellesley if they present the necessary prerequisites. This exchange program is not applicable to IAP or the summer session. Wellesley is a small, liberal arts college for women located on a 500-acre campus 17 miles west of Cambridge.
Through the Wellesley Education Department, MIT students may earn Massachusetts certification to teach at the elementary or high school level. This certification is recognized by many other states.
Students generally cannot substitute Wellesley subjects for MIT Science Requirement subjects (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Calculus) or Institute Laboratory Requirement subjects. They may take Wellesley subjects to satisfy Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirements, but need the approval of the Committee on Curricula.
When appropriate, Wellesley subjects can count toward fulfillment of the HASS Requirement; in most cases, students must submit a petition to the Subcommittee on the HASS Requirement.
Wellesley subjects may be used to fulfill departmental major and minor requirements with the permission of a faculty advisor.
For upperclass students, letter grades will be recorded for Wellesley subjects, unless the student designates a Wellesley subject as one of his or her two electives to be graded P, D, or F. Grades for freshmen will be converted to the MIT first-year grading system.
Students may take physical education classes at Wellesley on a space-available basis and may apply these classes toward their MIT physical education requirements. MIT students receive full library privileges at the Wellesley College Library.
Wellesley operates free weekday bus service between the two campuses. The service is open to everyone with an MIT or Wellesley identification card, but priority will be given to cross-registered students. The ride is about 50 minutes each way.
Detailed information on registration procedures is available at http://web.mit.edu/registrar/reg/xreg/MITtoWellesley.html. The Exchange Office at Wellesley is located in Room 339C, Green Hall, 781-283-2325.
MIT undergraduates may cross-register at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt), a state college, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), a private school affiliated with the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Both are highly respected art schools in Boston with studio classes such as drawing, painting, and printmaking that are not offered for credit at MIT.
Classes taken at MassArt and SMFA through the cross-registration program are graded P, D, or F and may not be used to satisfy Institute, departmental, or minor requirements. They may be used toward unrestricted elective credit. Only one subject from either school may be taken in a semester. This program is not applicable to IAP or the summer session.
Students must complete a cross-registration form, available in the Student Services Center, Room 11-120, by the deadline set by the MIT Registrar. Detailed information is available at http://visualarts.mit.edu/about/xreg_art.html.
Each year, hundreds of MIT students gain international experience by interning at premier corporations, universities, and research institutes abroad. MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) offers internship, teaching, and research opportunities in Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, and Switzerland. To help make an international experience available to every MIT student, MISTI internships are all-expenses-paid and open to undergraduates and graduate students. Internships range from three months to one year, with opportunities available for every major. MISTI sends over 680 students abroad each year. For more information, visit http://misti.mit.edu/ or see the description of the Center for International Studies in Interdisciplinary Research and Study in Part 3.

Transfer Credit Policy
Credit AssessmentTransfer credit will be evaluated and assigned a George Fox University course number based on the closest match between the originating course and the George Fox University course descriptions.
Courses which are not equivalent will be assigned to the closest matching four letter department code and assigned a 285 (lower division) or 485 (upper division) number. HHPA courses will be assigned a 185 (lower division) or 385 (upper division) number.
When the closest match for an originating lower division course is a George Fox University upper division course, the number 285 will be assigned and the student may receive a waiver for the upper division course if required. When the closest match for an originating upper division course is a George Fox University lower division course, the student may elect to have a 485 number assigned (to count towards the upper division course requirement) and receive a waiver for the lower division course.
Credit Eligible for Transfer
Credit must meet the following to be eligible for transfer. Any evaluation of transfer credit is to be considered tentative until the student has completed 12 hours in good standing.
The granting institution must be regionally accredited or alternatively, for undergraduate transfer, accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), formerly American Association of Bible Colleges (AABC).
Credit from institutions not regionally or ABHE accredited may still be received in transfer if the institution is of an appropriate level of academic rigor and soundness and the credit earned at the institution can be deemed to be equivalent to what would be earned at George Fox University. There is no maximum to the number of credits that will be received in transfer from these schools outside of normal transfer credit policies unless otherwise noted. Credit will be accepted on a conditional basis, pending the student's successful completion of her/his first semester at George Fox University. Currently, approved schools in this category include:
- Community Christian College
- Covenant Bible College (limit 30 semester hours)
- Eugene Bible College
- High Desert Christian College
- Pensacola Christian College
- Portland Bible College
- Prairie Bible Institute
- William Carey International University
Other institutions may be evaluated as needed by the registrar.
If the institution is not accredited and does not meet the above criteria, students will be asked to provide a copy of the institution's catalog, course syllabi and an official transcript of their course work. The institution will be evaluated to determine if courses are equivalent to similar courses offered at George Fox University and to determine if faculty credentials are similar to George Fox University faculty. If courses and faculty are determined to be equivalent, George Fox University will accept a maximum of 12 semester hours.
Credit from the following institutions will be accepted at a 3:1 ratio to a maximum of 12 semester hours. (3 credits from the granting institution for one credit at George Fox University.)
- Ecola Bible Institute
- University of the Nations (YWAM DTS Training)
- Capernwray Hall - Lancaster, England
- Capernwray: Capernwray Harbour - Thetis Island, British Columbia, Canada
- Capernwray: Fackelbararna - Holsybrunn, Sweden
- Capernwray: Ravencrest Chalet - Estes Park, Colorado
- Capernwray: Tanernhof - Austria
Additional note for Capernwray Bible Schools - Six of the 12 credits are transferred for BIBL 101 and 102. The remaining six credits are transferred as electives, though two may be applied to the Bible/Religion general education elective requirement.
Undergraduate credit must be at 100 level or above. 000 level credit will not be accepted. Graduate credit must be at 500 level or above (unless received as advanced standing: seminary only).
- MATH 095 or its equivalent (000 level) will not transfer.
- Keyboarding will not transfer.
Undergraduate credit must carry a grade of pass or C- or better. Graduate credit must carry a grade of pass or B- or better. Incompletes, withdraws, and audits will not be accepted.
Assigning Catalog YearFor transfer students who entered 2001 through 2003, catalog year was assigned as follows, based on total transfer credits (in semester hours).
up to 30.999 credits = freshman catalog year and requirements
31.000-61.999 credits = sophomore catalog year and requirements
62.000-92.999 credits = junior catalog year and requirements
93.000 + credits = senior catalog year and requirements

"God's call to connect people to God through Jesus Christ inspires our vision: To proclaim God's love for the world as revealed by and through Jesus Christ, rooted in the Anglican Tradition, to witness to His love, and to serve Him in our daily living."
Stewardship Pledge Card 2014 – 2015
The fulfillment of this vision includes God's call to live as good stewards. At St. John's, this requires the ability to well manage material resources, people and programs, ranging from mortar to ministries.
As we focus on the Stewardship of our mission, may we recommit our time, talent and treasure to fulfilling God's mission through our lives. In renewing our commitment to God's mission at St. John's, we are entering a new season of grace. The new season of sharing discovered by the early church shows us the type of community of believers God is calling St. John's to become, as well.
"All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need." – Acts 4:32-35
Let us give back to God from the abundance he has given us!
For worthy devotionals about Stewardship please visit: http://www.worthydevotions.com/christian/stewardship
Stewardship is about fostering a caring community of belonging, participation, transformation, and meaningful service. All of this happens only with faithful fiscal stewardship.
What is Stewardship?
A steward is a person who manages the affairs of a household or estate for the owner. In the Christian sense of the word, a steward is the manager of the affairs of God on earth. Everything we have and hold dear spiritually and physically are given to us by God: time, health, relationships, talents, property, the environment, and the saving gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It's not how much we have, but what we do with what we have been given, that is most important. The ways in which we use these gifts entrusted to us by God are a reflection of the priorities by which we live in our life.
Ministry, outreach and fellowship activities touch and transform each of us in our own unique walk with Christ and help us carry His bright light into our community.
"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received." – I Peter 4:10
Although fall is the time of year our church normally focuses on stewardship, God's call to give a portion of our time, talent and treasure carries into everything we do throughout the year. Periodically taking time as a community to discuss stewardship gives us the opportunity to:
Reflect on the mission of our church and how our support has enabled the activities, which fulfill that mission.
Stewardship means maintaining a strong foundation for our parish to continue providing the loving and nurturing ministries that hold a special place in our hearts. It also means moving forward to welcome new challenges and opportunities.
To arrange automatic and/or recurring stewardship offerings, contact the church office.

I was thinking of adding something to the hollow core of the but. that goes about a foot into the but. the bolt is about 3"s long if a bolt was the same weight but longer would that change at all. I think it would bring it forwards? I would like to bring the balance point back some more.???????? what would the hevyest bolt be? I think this one is led.

RE: 18" cube equipment questions
I really like your tank Kathyy! Clean lines, minimal visible equipment, etc.--its the way I hope to go. Im definitely stealing those spray bars. Do you mind sharing how you made them? And that careful aquascape planning is really paying off!
Your experience with CO2 diffusion, pump vibration, and green water has me reconsidering my plans. My original plan was as you put itspray bar underneath driftwood so the flow would be coming out a cave. I think I am going to keep that idea because Im interested to see how fresh, CO2 rich water flowing in at the bottom will help foreground cover growth. The vertical spray bars have me thinking, though.
On the other hand, Im switching filtration to a canister. Reading your post it occurred to me that hiding intake tubes is much easier than a 2.25 x 4 sponge (duh). It would also allow me to easily raise the spray bar if necessary, and I dont feel like battling green water. Thinking of going with a 2215 with an in-line CO2 reactor. I need a cabinet to hide the CO2 tank anyway, and Im sure I can fit a canister and reactor in there too.
This would also allow me to aquascape better. Im confident that I can hide a pump, but it occurred to me that the foot print would really limit my driftwood placement options.
Great advice. Thanks!

Eight of Scandinavian Airlines' Q400s were returned to service after undergoing modification to correct the corrosion problem linked to the incidents last month.
Danish investigators identified corrosion of threads in the undercarriage actuator as the source of the problem, and SAS Group subsequently discovered similar corrosion on virtually all of its grounded turboprops.
SAS Group grounded all 27 Q400s from the Scandinavian Airlines and Wideroe fleets following the 9 and 12 September landing accidents, in which the right-hand main gear on two separate aircraft collapsed on touchdown.
SAS Group has opted to change the main landing-gear actuator pistons and rod-ends on its entire fleet. Scandinavian Airlines vice-president for technical operations Geir Steiro stresses that the carrier has used only new parts during the refit.
Actuator piston installed in the main landing gear
"We have not replaced these components with repaired or reworked parts," he says.
Steiro adds that the maintenance procedure has also involved applying an anti-humidity and corrosion-prevention sealant, known as Mastinox, to the rod-end threads.
Anti-humidity and corrosion-prevention sealant appears as yellow coating
The three-week grounding has prompted SAS Group to pursue the Q400's manufacturer, Bombardier, for compensation. Horizon Air, another major Q400 operator with 33 in service, declines to say if it will request compensation for the service disruptions that resulted from inspections.
Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's last month estimated the financial impact from the grounding at SKr10-15 million ($1.5-2.2 million) a day.
SAS Group says the aircraft being returned to service have undergone "extensive" inspections of both the main landing-gear and the nose-gear and been subjected to a number of test flights.
Bombardier will not comment on any discussions about compensation, saying only tht its priority "has been to work with operators to facilitate the return of our Q400 aircraft to service". It adds that in many cases it has "worked around the clock with Goodrich, the landing-gear manufacturer, to make this happen".
Bombardier said that the SAS Q400s were the only aircraft that remained grounded. "It is very encouraging that nearly 90% of Bombardier's 165 Q400 aircraft [in the global fleet] will soon be back in service."

Elvis fans can even take home a piece of the fun with giveaways: a guitar pick, jailhouse temporary tattoos and a special souvenir cup, available with purchase of a margarita or Blue Hawaiian.
Limited edition Elvis and Priscilla T-shirts will be available for purchase to commemorate the big day.
Event History
When Chuy's first opened in 1982 in Austin, TX there was little money for restaurant décor. Chuy's founders hit the streets with $20 in search of something to put on the walls. The over-sized velvet painting of Elvis they returned with changed the course of Chuy's history forever. Soon, customers were donating their memorabilia and Elvis was officially named the Patron Saint of Chuy's. They have been constructing shrines in his honor and celebrating his birthday ever since. Join Chuy's as they ring in The King's 78th birthday this year with lots of fun and fanfare, and remember – at Chuy's, Elvis has never left the building.

Global iPlayer will be exclusive to iPad for one-year trial.
The long-awaited international expansion of the BBC iPlayer begins today with the launch of the service in 11 European countries exclusively via the Apple iPad app.
The global iPlayer service will be available only on the iPad during a one-year trial, during which the US, Canada and Australia will also gain access at some stage.
The BBC is pushing the global iPlayer as a video on-demand portal rather than just the catch-up TV platform we've become accustomed to on domestic shores.
The app will feature that month's new content, including the likes of Top Gear, Dr Who and Eastenders but will also feature on-demand access to classics from the BBC's 60-year catalogue. Yes, that means Only Fools and Horses.
The iPlayer app will debut with 1,500 hours of programming, but the Beeb plans to add 100 hours every month. On top of that, the Corporation has also agreed deals with independent studios to screen content originally aired on ITV or Channel 4.
"We think we have a load of unmet demand for BBC and British content internationally," said BBC.com MD Luke Bradley-Jones.
"This is not a catch-up service: this is a video-on-demand service. We will have content from the last month, but also the best from the catalogue stretching back 50 to 60 years."
Some of the content will be free of charge and supported by pre-rolls and sponsorships, but the main bounty will come through a monthly subscription fee of 6.99 Euros or a yearly fee of 49.99 Euros.
The application will allow users to watch over Wi-Fi and 3G and download programmes for offline viewing. The BBC says that if the trial is successful the app will expand to the iPhone, Apple TV and perhaps Android tablets if they enjoy success.
The 11 launch countries are Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, The Republic of Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.

Has Lil Wayne Taken His Anger Towards The Miami Heat Too Far?
What is going on with Lil Wayne? It seems as though he has a lot of misguided anger pent up inside.
We all know he has major beef with the Miami Heat players for not acknowledging him or dapping him up when he attends their games but now it seems as though his antics have gotten him banned from NBA games. Last week, he was kicked out of American Airlines Arena after a squabble courtside with some Miami Heat fans, and now he claims the the Miami Heat squad made sure he couldn't attend the NBA All-Star festivities.
While hosting a party last night in Houston, he hopped on the mic and vented his frustrations towards the Miami Heat and NBA but decided to take things way too far when he claimed he slept with Chris Bosh's wife, Adrienne. He also pegged himself the new Tupac.
The Miami Heat told them to ban me. When I say 'F–k', you say 'NBA'", "When I say 'F–k', you say 'Miami Heat'". I ain't Tupac, I'm the new Pac. It ain't no twitter beef, take it to the streets. F-ck all of them niggas. F-ck Lebron, F-ck D Wade, F–k Chris Bosh, F-ck all them n-ggas. And I f–ked Chris Bosh's wife.
I doubt if any of the Heat players will ever respond to Wayne or the immaturity. As a matter of fact, that seems to be pissing him off even more. They haven't acknowledged his existence or said anything about Lil Wayne since he openly slammed them in a Rolling Stone article.
Them n*ggas never speak to a n*gga. They don't chuck me the deuce or nothing. N*gga spent all that money on them f*cking tickets… Come holla at me. We sit right by them little b*tch-ass n*ggas. At least come ask me why I'm not rooting for you."
Lebron has dapped up Wayne at some point…

Sliding doors connect this kitchen to the backyard, flooding the space with light.
For the kitchen island, homeowner and real estate agent Emily Norris reused a solid wood cabinet that came with the house (she was told it was an old Simpsons department store display case). Emily tried to talk herself into saving money with butcherblock counters, but in the end she realized if she didn't do Bianco Carrara Statuario marble, she'd regret it forever.

God Is At Work
READ: Philippians 2:12-18
It is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
We always crave change in a new year. This is why on January 1 we start diets, exercise programs, and new hobbies. Of course, a month later were usually back to our old bad habits. Maybe thats because we crave too big a change and do not have enough power and will to make the changes.
I wonder how many Jesus-followers have made commitments to change and grow spiritually but are experiencing frustration because they dont have the will and power to carry out those steps.
Paul addresses this issue in his letter to the Philippians. As he encouraged them to work out their salvation with fear and trembling (2:12), Paul said they would not be on their own. God Himself would energize them to grow and carry out His tasks. The first area affected would be their desires. God was at work in them, giving them the desire to change and grow. He was also working to give them the power to make the actual changes (v.13).
God has not left us alone in our struggles to attain spiritual growth. He helps us want to obey Him, and then He gives us the power to do what He wants. Ask Him to help you want to do His will. Marvin Williams
Every day more like my Savior,
Every day my will resign,
Until at last Christ reigns supremely
In this grateful heart of mine. Brandt
The power that compels us comes from the Spirit who indwells us.

Last Day For 131 Bloomington GE Employees
Today was the last day of work for 131 employees at Bloomington's General Electric plant.
Officials are blaming the layoffs on slipping sales of side-by-side refrigerators.
Three years ago the plant was facing closure. Company officials decided instead to invest 161 million dollars to make improvements to the Bloomington factory and begin manufacturing energy efficient refrigerators.
But GE officials say sales of those refrigerators dropped 30 percent after they made their decision.
GE announced last month it would lay off 160 workers. Ultimately about 30 fewer employees ended up losing their jobs.
"This is a very sad time," says GE spokeswoman Kim Freeman. "We appreciate all of our employees, and all of their hardworking dedication. And we are very sorry to see them leave."
Freeman says laid off workers will get preferential placement in other GE locations and will be given health care benefits for another year.
