Corporate Advocacy Program™
EDitor's UPDATE: A positive rating and recognition has been given to California Southern University for its commitment to maintain high standards and ethical business practices.
CalSouthern contacted Ripoff Report with the intent of wanting to address and resolve any customer issues and reports posted on Ripoff Report. They have joined the Corporate Advocacy Program because they want customers to know they will go to great lengths to resolve any and all customer issues.
Upon visiting their location in Irvine, California, our third party verifiers found a thriving organization that was warm and welcoming, eager to discuss what they call "the CalSouthern difference", a personalized approach to online learning which ensures that each learner receives the individual attention they need to be effective in an online learning environment. [continued below]....
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by university officials during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward California Southern University.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
In order to provide a great educational experience for potential students Cal Southern University has a proprietary model that looks at all students as prospective learners. They provide information about the school to see if the university is the right fit for them. Unlike other for-profit institutions which actively advertise to enroll students, Cal Southern takes a passive approach to see if they are a good fit. They have created a mandatory login for courses, which can be done at the students discretion based on their schedule and convenience factor. They have incorporated a mentor based learning model which allows students to be connected to their Advisor, Associate Dean, and Dean.
California Southern University is currently accredited with Distance Education Learning and are in the eligibility stage of WASC.
All of the professors at their university have one degree higher than what they are teaching, unless it is a terminal degree (Ph.D). Each has a masters with 18 credits from regionally accredited schools.
Customer Care
Since complaints were made on Ripoff Report, their university has made some changes to provide a better level of understanding about the expectations that they expect from prospective students. For example, now both students and alumni have complete access to an easy to navigate website with all details for them to understand and to provide them with standard information about the institution.
If a complaint is made, there are certain standards they take to effectively resolve them. Student complaints can come at different levels: to the advisor, associate dean, and dean. These issues are usually resolved immediately. There is an official complaint procedure for policy or performance, and it is published. There is also a formalized process that keeps track of all complaints and these reports are available to the accreditation agency. If they disagree with the decision, they can appeal it to higher levels. Most of their complaints require further clarification, and very few go past the dean.
During the onsite interview, executive members of the administration were was asked how they would handle a situation where a student has enrolled in courses, but their expectations were not met: "I would have regular check-ins with their academic advisor. There is a 10-day check if they are falling back on their coursework. They have the ability to add or drop within 14 days within the next month and get a 100% refund within the first week, and after that it is a sliding scale. If they don't perform, they are put on academic probation and are dismissed if they still continue to perform poorly after two extensions.

NOTICE: About the Report below:
Ripoff Report feels the few Reports that have been posted on Ripoff Report were likely posted by the same person, they were not ever a student, and, in our opinion, they are false accusations/statements. If the posting was true, there would have been legitimate proof or some sort of documentation after our mailing to the people that filed the Reports. Ripoff Report was not sent any evidence for the claims the author of the Report below made – this could be a competitor. As a matter of policy, when a business joins the Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, .. Ripoff Report always emails everyone that filed a complaint so the member business could make things right with them… our program calls for the member business to err on the side of the customer. It is our opinion, the Report below is bogus. Ripoff Report had a 3rd party verifier inspected the offices CalSouthern. California Southern University seems to be a legitimate school offering a terrific resource for anyone considering going back to school to earn a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree online..

Typical faculty members used at California Southern University
Dr. Bob Weathers - estemed faculty memeber at the university
California Department of Consumer Affairs Board of Psychology accepted the surrender of Robert Satnley Weathers, Ph.D.'s license to practice psychology.
According to the boards accusations and stippulated surrender of license and order, Weathers engaged in a sexual realtionship with his patient.
Robert Weathers was also romanticly involved with a graduate studnt while he was a professor at Pepperdine University and lost his professorship and tenure.
Once I realized this man was part of the faculty, I dropped out of the Psychology program,. I decided I would switch to criminal justice.
I looked up another esteemed faculty member and saw Former Police Chief Tommy Tunnson listed, he is a fired Police Chief from the city of Arvin...
Why would the university hire people like this?
If you want to go to a university that hires people that loose their license, because they sleep with their patients and Police Chiefs that are fired, this is the university for you.
Diploma mills can't aford to hire good people so this is what you get. I was told by my counselor that they were WASC accredited, but I found out when I started they weren't.
Do your home work before applying to the wrong school. Research the faculty and accreditation.

#1 General Comment
Information claimed in the report is inaccurate
AUTHOR: CentralOC - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 04, 2013POSTED: Thursday, April 04, 2013
Regarding concern that Dr Weathers' relationship with a student while at Pepperdine, this occured prior to 2001. He thereafter went to teach at California State University, San Bernardino, and Loma Linda University. It would seem odd to take issue with his involvement at CalSouthen, but not have a problem with his involvement at Cal State San Bernardino or Loma Linday University.
Regarding Tommy Tunson, the facts claimed are likewise in error. The local news carried numerous stories citing Tunson as having been wrongfully terminated. In fact, a wrongful termination lawsuit was filed by Tunson. The matter was settled out of court when he was reinstated as an employee of the city, and afterwards allowed to retire in good standing.
Lastly is the issue of accredidation. Again, the claimant is in error. CalSouthern is nationally accredited by the DETC, and is currently a candidate for regional accredidation by WASC. CalSouthern makes no secret about this. This information is readily available on their website, and a call to CalSouthern's admissions office conirms it. I suspect the claimant misunderstood what he was told about WASC accreditation. However, since CalSouthern is likely to be WASC accredited by the time the claimant graduates, this concern might be a nonissue.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

A press release taken from the press section of Capcom's official site:
The original 2D classic Mega Man returns in Mega Man 10 for Nintendo WiiWare, Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Store. This latest Mega Man title continues to bring the series back to its old school roots with retro action platforming gameplay and classic 8-bit NES-style graphics and sound. Relive the Mega Man experience with classically inspired bosses, each with their own unique weapons and vulnerabilities.
Set within the zany Mega Man universe, it comes as no surprise that robotic shenanigans are afoot once again. The year is 20XX and a suspicious outbreak of Roboenza, a Robot Flu, has broken out. It spreads through the world like wildfire bringing down robots everywhere. People who have relied on helpful robots for ages are unnerved trying to live their lives without their robot assistance. But robots that would be aiding in the development of a vaccine can't do their jobs. One month after the outbreak, the situation worsens even more. Infected robots have gone out of control, destroying the city and holding it hostage! Who is behind this mess? It's up to Mega Man to take on this sinister threat and get to the bottom of this viral mystery.
New screenshots are also up on the Mega Man 10 page.

To the Editor.—
The recent article "Impotence Is Not Always Psychogenic: Newer Insights Into Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Dysfunction" by Spark et al (243:750, 1980) deserves comment. The title implies that impotence (an inappropriate word that sexologists have replaced with "erection problems") has been established by paradigm as always being psychogenic, which is not so. The training of all sexologists and reputable sex therapists concentrates on the differential elimination from sex therapy of all patients with physical or longterm emotional problems. Such patients should be referred for appropriate medical or psychiatric treatment.The association of erectile dysfunction with hormonal deficit is tenuous. While the exogenous administration of androgens to women has been shown to create sexual desire, similar administration to men has thus far only been linked to aggressive behavior and metabolic effects.

Hi there,

Hi there,
Having trouble with the spacing around the social icons. I uploaded my own and they are 32x32, but there's no hspace. Can you take a look?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Kate,
As far as I can see it looks like your theme's CSS is bleeding over into the plugin's CSS in an odd way. I've had a look at the CSS on the link you mentioned but can't see anything immediately glaring out at me. Have you tried quickly swapping your theme back to a stock WordPress theme, such as TwentyTen? If the problem goes away, we can focus on your theme. If it doesn't then I need to look at the plugin's CSS itself.
Hi Gary,
Thanks for the quick response! I used theme test drive to switch to Twenty Ten. I also deactivated all my other plugins to double check it wasn't a plugin conflict. I tested with my current theme and using theme test drive with Twenty Ten. All scenarios is rendering the lack of space between the icons.
Let me know if you need me to do other tests to narrow the options.
Hmm. From a bit more digging into your site I can see that the icons are being served up using the Data URI scheme and not as standard links to the icon image itself. I'm wondering if this is the root of the problem? To be honest, I've never seen anyone do this with the plugin's icon set before. Is this something you've set up yourself or is your theme or another plugin doing this for you automagically?
I just entered the URL where the alternate links icon set is on my server under the content tab. Am I doing it incorrectly? Should the icons be in a specific place? It currently resides under my uploads folder.
That makes sense. It's just how you should configure the alternate icon set. So what's automagically converting the icon URLs behind the scenes? Your theme or a plugin?
So what theme are you using? Is it free or paid/premium. If the former, where can I get hold of a copy? If the latter, can I get hold of a copy for testing? What other plugins are you using?
Something on your site is doing this cleverness for you, I just need to pin down what and then, hopefully, see if this is the root cause of the problem.
I guess it would be the theme because I deactivated all plugins to test the rendering of the icons and it did the same thing. I'm using the freemium version of Pagelines found in the WordPress theme directory.
I'm using quite a few plugins:
All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely
Cleverness To-Do List
Connections Form
Digg Digg
Disqus Comment System
Gravity Forms
NextGEN Gallery
Syndicate Press
Twitter @Anywhere Plus
Ultimate Photo Widget for Flickr, Tumblr, and Pinterest
W3 Total Cache
WordPress Editorial Calendar
WordPress SEO
WP Biographia
Trust me, I've seen the number of plugins some people use and your set is by no means "quite a few" ... !
If the theme is v1.2.5 of PageLines found here - http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/pagelines - then I'll download and install it on my local test site that I use for just this sort of thing and start having a dig around under the hood.
One final thing. Where did you get your icon set from? I'd like to try and reproduce your setup as much as I can.
It might take a while to do the detective work, so please bear with me; got to try and fit this into and around my day job ...
Ha, I've actually deactivated a few due to some other issues I'm fighting, so I've definitely slimmed down.
You found the Pagelines, yes.
Icon set: http://www.onextrapixel.com/2012/02/28/freebies-black-white-minimal-social-icons-pack/
I appreciate you taking the time to figure it out. I'm tried my hand at investigating the CSS and just can't figure it out.
Thanks again and I look forward to hearing back from you.
One other thing. I noticed you said "freemium" ... does this mean there's a paid for version of the theme which unlocks other features or are you using the theme "as is" when downloaded from the WordPress themes repository?
There is a paid version, but I'm only using the free theme that you download from WP. So no additional features.
Got it. Thanks.
So I'm now slapping myself. This is a classic case of Occam's Razor in action.
I installed PageLines and activated the icon set that comes with the plugin. The spacing issue didn't occur. I checked through the theme's code to see if there was any cleverness going on in converting images to use Data URIs. Couldn't see any. Installed all of your plugins. The spacing issue didn't occur.
Then finally, I downloaded your custom icon set and configured the plugin to use it. Then the problem occurred.
It turns out that every icon set I've tested with includes spacing within the icon itself. So actually this problem has always been there; in other words, the icons have always had no spacing between them, this has just never shown up before because all the icons I've used include the spacing so I've been seeing a semblance of spacing between the icons.
So I added the following code to the theme's
functions.php ...
add_action ('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_custom_css');
function add_custom_css () {
$uri = get_stylesheet_directory_uri ();
wp_enqueue_style ('custom-css', $uri . '/custom.css');
and then created a custom CSS file as
/wp-content/themes/pagelines/custom.css which contained the following ...
@charset "utf-8";
ul.wp-biographia-list-icon li {
margin: 0 5px 0 0;
And voila! Welcome back to icon spacing. You may need to tweak the right margin setting a little to your personal taste. You can see the effects before the CSS tweaks - http://imgur.com/Stb1t - and after - http://imgur.com/DFSpP.
I think I need to make this a part of the plugin's CSS itself in the next release so something as simple as this doesn't come back to bite me in the future.
That did it! OMG! Thank you! I've been so frustrated that I couldn't figure it out. Obviously an update in the next version of the plugin would be awesome, I went ahead and modified per your direction and it works.
Thanks for taking a look into that and solving it!

Ski rescue legislation efforts seen waning
MONTPELIER The support for recouping the cost of rescuing lost out-of-bound skiers has waned.
Three bills were proposed this session that would assign financial and sometimes criminal responsibility when skiers and snowboarders travel outside boundaries and become lost.
Rep. Larry Townsend, D-Randolph, and Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, introduced bills that would fine skiers and snowboarders up to $500 for going out of bounds at a Vermont resort. Mullins bill has been withdrawn, and Townsend said he was not going to pursue his.
Rep. Thomas Terenzini, R-Rutland, proposed a bill that would hold a ski resort responsible for paying the rescue crews if a skier or snowboarder got lost on its mountain.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Technical difficulties havent forced Central Vermonts Talk Station to sound a whole...

Looking for Slab Pie Recipe Recommendations
Any fabulous pie recipes that would translate well to a slab format?
Sent by Ann
Editor: Ann, we have been wanting to try Smitten Kitchen's sour cherry slab pie for a long time. We also wonder if the crumb-topped apple pie pictured above might be a little less likely to get soggy over a long period of time. And finally, the peach ginger filling from these hand pies is really delicious and worth a try.

Headed to Mexico tomorrow
I'm headed to my home in Cuernavaca, Mexico tomorrow for the next three weeks. My new body, lens and tripod/monopod will be getting a workout. Will be visiting the pyramids, Oxaca, Taxco (and the caves outside the Taxco). I'll be driving so will get to photograph desert, mountains etc..
I'm already finding that getting great pictures with the D7000 and great glass are resulting in more keepers then with my D80 and lesser glass.
I'll start posting to my gallery with the trip in progress.

Sounds great and off the beaten track really has me curious. I once hiked the spine of the Pacific Coast mountains (at El Triunfo) in search of (successfully) Horned Guan. This was Chiapas and Oaxaca. Super place!
I also would love to here any tips about driving (me dream someday ).

We went to purchase a car yesterday believing our credit was in the low 700's...instead we find that it is 550! We still qualified at the car loan, but the payment was going to be over $5,000 dollars higher over the 3 year course of the loan. Not only that, we were humiliated. We are customers of this dealer and are friends with the owner. I am devastated, humiliated and completely irate that Citimortgage has all the power.
The credit bureaus continue to verify that Citimortgage is correct, despite the fact that I have called, contested, begged and cried. Please help...or write if you had similiar problems. A phone number would be welcome that doesn't contact me to India! Thank you.

DNA exposes phony fish in stores and restaurants
Something fishy is going on with seafood according to a new study by Oceana: "DNA testing found that one-third (33 percent) of the 1,215 samples analyzed nationwide were mislabeled, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.
"Of the most commonly collected fish types, samples sold as snapper and tuna had the highest mislabeling rates (87 and 59 percent, respectively), with the majority of the samples identified by DNA analysis as something other than what was found on the label. In fact, only seven of the 120 samples of red snapper purchased nationwide were actually red snapper. The other 113 samples were another fish."
When people buy things they expect the labeling to be correct. Knowing that there may be problems with labeling can affect what people choose to purchase.
Slate says why it matters: "In many cases, you may say who cares? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and if people like what they're eating, who cares if it's really snapper or not? But as Oceana notes, some of the common substitutions have substantial health implications. 'White tuna,' for example, is often really escolar and eating it 'can have immediate and serious digestive effects for some people who eat more than a few ounces.'"
Diets In Review says the red snapper substitutes found in New York were actually tilefish, "which contain mercury in their flesh and should be avoided."
The worst place in the country for mislabeling was Southern California with 52 percent of the fish being labeled incorrectly — 20 percent higher than the national average. In Seattle, 18 percent were mislabeled. Chicago, 32 percent mislabeled. Austin/Houston, Texas, 49 percent. New York, 39 percent.
It also mattered where people purchased fish. Only 18 percent of fish in groceries was mislabeled. In restaurants it was 38 percent. Sushi venues were the worst, according to the report, with 74 percent of the fish labeled incorrectly.
Brian Clark Howard of National Geographic News says Oceana wasn't able to determine why things were mislabeled, "but experts suggest it is likely a combination of outright fraud, honest mistakes, loose paperwork and the difficulty in identifying some species of fish from others."
Solutions to the problem could be better tracking of fish using barcodes and other technology — or even spot DNA testing.
"We suggest there is an enforcement issue that needs to be addressed," Gavin Gibbons, a spokesperson for National Fisheries Institute, the country's largest seafood trade association, told National Geographic. "FDA is the primary agency that has the task of enforcing the laws that are already on the books. FDA needs to enforce those laws."
