Transferring From Fsu To Uf (i Just Got Accepted) Help?
Hey all, I just got accepted to UF as a transfer from FSU
My story, I always wanted to be a gator but got denied initially went to FSU and now I have a 3.65 gpa, I hate the teachers here but I love the friends I made, Tallahassee as a whole I think is ghetto am maybe looking for a change in scenery. I eventually want to attend dental school hopefully.
Do you guys think it is worth it to transfer to UF and graduate in two years, I mean it is the best university in Florida in terms of academics but I guess I am kind of scared since I am established here in Tally, but will get over it quick if I move away, what do you guys think?
Life Problem! Plz Help!?
ok. Im from Florida and just finished high school. I just moved to Boston to go to Northeastern University, doing pre-med. I am thinking about transferring to Florida State University. Should I? I love the city of Boston and think that i might have more possibilities here than in Tallahassee but FSU has a good med program too. (also some personal feelings are attached here since my boyfriend goes to FSU, he’s going to be a Marine so he can’t transfer units) How good is FSU in pre-med? How good is Northeastern in pre-med? Should I transfer next year or not?
Thanks!!
Did Jesus Walk On Ice?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 5, 2006
AP) Jesus walked on water, according to the Bible, but a Florida State University professor says he may have actually walked on a hard-to-see patch of ice.
Doron Nof, a professor of oceanography, said a rare combination of water and atmospheric conditions in the Sea of Galilee 2,000 years ago may offer a scientific explanation for one of the miracles recounted in the Bible.
Nof said a patch of ice floating in the Sea of Galilee, which is actually a freshwater lake, would have been difficult to distinguish from unfrozen water surrounding it.
“I’m not trying to provide any information that has to do with theology here,” Nof said in an interview Wednesday. “All we’ve thought is about the natural process. What theologians or anybody else does with that, it’s their business, so to speak.”
According to the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark and John, Jesus’ disciples were out on the Galilee at night when a storm came up. Jesus walked to the terrified men, who thought he was a ghost, according to the accounts.
Darrell Bock, a professor of New Testament studies at the Dallas Theological Seminary, lightheartedly dismissed the idea that Jesus walked on ice.
“I’m just cold to the theory,” said Bock, author of “Breaking the Da Vinci Code,” which defends traditional Christian beliefs challenged in Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code.”
“I tend to treat it as a real miracle,” Bock said. “Almost all the nature miracles are challenged in one degree or another.”
Other reaction to the theory has not been so restrained.
“I get hate e-mail on the average every three minutes,” Nof said. One e-mail called him “the most stupid person on the planet” and closed by wishing that he “go to hell where you belong.”
Nof’s research appears in the April issue of the Journal of Paleolimnology, a publication on the reconstruction of lake histories. Nof’s co-authors are biostatistics professor Ian McKeague of Columbia University and atmospheric science professor Nathan Paldor of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
They came up with the theory after studying records of long-ago water temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea, based on core samples of shells and other animal remains taken from the bottom.
The records indicated that two lengthy periods 2,500 to 1,500 years ago were chilly enough for ice patches to form during cold spells on the Sea of Galilee, said Nof, a native of Israel.
The unfrozen water surrounding the ice would have come from salty springs along the lake’s western shore, he said. Salty water freezes at lower temperatures than fresh water.
Jesus On Ice? Isn’t This Just Another Typical Liberal Heretic Question ?

College Choice: Florida State Or Alabama?
im a lifelong resident of nashville, tn.and im looking to transfer within the next year to a large university. my plan for years has been to move out to san diego but at this point in my life i dont think thats the best option. so after contemplating, i think my two top choices are fsu and ua. ive been to tallahassee 3 times (twice for football games) and the state as a whole upwards of 50 times (family and such). however i know nothing about tuscaloosa, the school. or anything near it. i know someone who goes there and likes it but thats about it. im a big sports guy so these two schools at least dont lack in that area. and btw ill probably be a psychology major for what its worth. anyone with any experience with both have any thoughts to share? thanks.
Is It True The First Woman Federal Judge In Florida State Was A Mexican Lady Named Rosa Maria Barkett ?
A Mexican-born, former Roman Catholic nun was sworn in as Florida’s first woman Supreme Court Justice.
The courtroom in Tallahassee was packed with family, friends, and reporters.
She was the only woman to serve in the 140-year history of the Florida Supreme Court.
Rosemary Barkett was born in 1939 in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, to parents of Syrian ancestry. Her family migrated to Florida in 1946. She grew up in Miami, graduated from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama with high honors, and became an American citizen in 1958. As a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph for eight years, she taught in St. Augustine, Florida. After leaving her Order, she taught in the Dade County and Michigan public schools as an elementary and a middle school teacher, before going to the University of Florida law school.
After finishing law school, Rosemary Barkett practiced law for nine years. In 1979 she was appointed a circuit judge in Palm Beach County.

Trying To Transfer Into A Florida College With A Major In Web Design?
The school I’m trying to transfer into is Palm Beach Atlantic in West Palm Beach, Florida. The school I’m currently in is Tallahassee Community College, which in I’m in my last semester.
The problem I have is that while I visited Open House in Palm Beach Atlantic, I found out something: That it would only take students into its Graphic Design program (which Web Design is a part of) if they have had a background in Art and Web Design. However, I only had Art and Graphic Design in High School (Which got me interested in Web Design in the first place), due to the notion that in TCC, I decided to only get the basic stuff (history, math, etc.) down, while I’ll focus on my major in a university. During those years in TCC, I didn’t know that I needed to build up a background in order to get accepted into a Graphic Design program in a University before graduating from TCC, thus means I won’t get accepted into PBA with Web Design as my major without a background in Art and Graphic Design other than High School.
Also distressing is that during Open House, I learned that PBA would count the 68 hours a student did in the college they’re transferring from, but not count any extra hours done before the transfer. This means that even if I stay in TCC and did extra hours getting a background in Art and Graphic design, I still won’t have Web Design as a major since PBA won’t count the extra hours I did, thus nullifying the “background” I would’ve required and not getting me into the Graphic Design program needed for the Web Design major.
I have thought of going to another college within Tallahassee or West Palm beach (such as Tallahassee’s Florida State University or West Palm beach’s Florida Career College.), but I’m worried that I would get the same answer. So what am i supposed to do?

Thanks so much.
What Do You Think Of The New Study Concluding That Global Warming Is Causing Stronger Hurricanes?
*NOTE* – the effect of global warming on the *frequency* of hurricanes is still uncertain. This study is on the *intensity* of hurricanes.
“James Elsner, a climatologist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, and his colleagues have now found that the strongest tropical storms are getting stronger, with the most notable increases in the North Atlantic and northern Indian oceans. Very strong storms, Elsner says, can more easily overcome any inhibiting effects of shearing winds than weaker storms, and go on to reach their maximum possible strength.”
“Rising ocean temperatures are thought to be the main cause of the observed shift. The team calculates that a 1 ºC increase in sea-surface temperatures would result in a 31% increase in the global frequency of category 4 and 5 storms per year: from 13 of those storms to 17. Since 1970, the tropical oceans have warmed on average by around 0.5 ºC. Computer models suggest they may warm by a further 2 ºC by 2100.
“It’ll be pretty hard now for anyone to claim that cyclone activity has not increased,” says Judith Curry, an atmospheric researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who was not involved in the study.”
