College Level Requirements
You must click here to view the general college level requirements for this major.
Limited Access - This major has additional admissions requirements as listed in this section.
This is a full-time, limited access program, as mandated by the State, and is structured sequentially. Admission is competitive. Any student who applies to the undergraduate program in the College of Nursing is initially coded as "Pre-Nursing" prior to official acceptance to the College of Nursing.
Admissions Requirements:
- Admission to the University of South Florida (Tampa Campus).
- Completion of the first bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution by the published application deadline for the intended term of entry.
- Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on all undergraduate work
- Completion of seven of the eight Nursing prerequisite courses by the published application deadline for the intended term of entry.
- Note: Any outstanding Nursing prerequisite courses must be completed by the program start date, with a minimum grade of C or better, while maintaining a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.0.
- If selected, an interview with College of Nursing faculty.
- Students have the option to take NUR 3125 Pathophysiology in either the summer or spring semester prior to admission. Students must have all prerequisite courses completed prior to taking NUR 3125.
If a student receives a grade less than a C in any two prerequisite courses while declared as Pre-Nursing, the student will be required to select another major at the University of South Florida. Grade forgiveness will not apply to the mandated requirement of changing the major. In addition, if a student does not meet the minimum GPA requirement to be eligible to apply for admission following 60 completed hours and all prerequisite courses attempted, the student will be required to select another major at the University of South Florida.
State Mandated Common Course Prerequisites
The University's Foundations of Knowledge and Learning Core Curriculum (General Education) requirements and College of Nursing's prerequisite/support courses may be completed through the A.A. degree from a Florida College System institution. If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university's entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements. The A.A. degree satisfies admission requirements only if courses are carefully selected and include the required major prerequisite/support courses.
The College of Nursing requires certain courses within the Foundations of Knowledge and Learning Core Curriculum (General Education) requirement for the natural, social and behavioral sciences, and mathematics. Students must complete the prerequisite courses listed below prior to being admitted to the Second Bachelor's Degree sequence except those students in the C.A.R.E. program. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or higher.
All courses not approved by the Florida State Course Numbering System (includes all Florida public colleges, universities, and College System institutions) used to satisfy these prerequisite requirements will be evaluated individually on the basis of content and will require a catalog course description and a copy of the syllabus for assessment.

f A RETROSPECTIVE EXAMINATION OF REINFECTION OF HUMANS WITH PLASMODIUM VIVAX
A retrospective examination was made of archival data collected between 1940 and 1963 to determine the impact of reinfection of patients with Plasmodium vivax with homologous and heterologous strains of the parasite. Following reinfection of 14 patients with a homologous strain, the geometric mean maximum parasite count was reduced from 9,101/μL during the primary infection to 998/μL and the geometric mean daily parasite count for the first 20 days was reduced from 923/μL to 16/μL. Following reinfection of 22 patients with heterologous strains of P. vivax, the geometric mean maximum parasite count was 8,460/μL during the primary infection versus a secondary level of 9,196/μL and the geometric mean daily parasite count decreased from 847/μL/day to 335/μL/day. Reductions in fever episodes ≥101°F and ≥ 104°F appeared to be a more sensitive measure of clinical immunity. Fever episodes ≥104°F in patients with homologous strain reinfections decreased from 1.92 episodes per week to 0.18 compared with 1.24 to 0.57 in patients with heterologous infections. Fever episodes ≥101°F decreased from 2.98 to 0.60 in the homologous strain compared with 2.08 to 1.07 for the heterologous infections. The average maximum fever temperature in the homologous group was 106°F during the primary infection versus 103.4°F for the secondary infection compared with 105.8°F during the primary infections versus 105.6°F for the secondary infection in the heterologous patients.

Listener's Question: Elijah's Letter
Question from one of our listeners: Regarding the warning letter that was written by the prophet Elijah to King Jehoram: Could it be that the letter was not written by the prophet Elijah to Jehoram at the time of its delivery, but composed years before reaching Jehoram? Do we have an exact year when it was written? Or was there an error on the part of the transcriber, where the… Continue reading

Mark Twain said that the only way to eat sweet corn is to take your caldron and boiling water right out into the field, and cook it and eat it right where you grow it. Corn has the highest ratio of sugar to starch of any vegetable and, within minutes of picking, the sugars begin to decompose into starch so that within 24 hours corn has lost more than 25% of its sugars. Here again is where hyperlocal, hyperfresh only happen in your backyard kitchen garden: unless you grow your own sweet corn, you've never enjoyed the real thing.
Archeological evidence traces corn back over 80,000 years in Mexico. Indigenous peoples in the Americas grew corn extensively and called it mahiz, food gift from the gods, the origins of our word maize. Native Americans venerated corn along with winter squash and beans. They grew them harmoniously for tens of thousands of years in a milpah.
Pick your corn when the ears are plump and long and you can feel the kernels fat inside. They should appear shiny and moist. The silk should be sticky and moist too. Store corn — but preferably not for long — in its husks in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Corn obviously can be enjoyed on the cob. I eat corn the way I learned as a teenager on the beach of Baja California: grilled or boiled until tender, with lots of fresh butter, hot sauce, lime juice and a little salt. (I was young! What did I know about street vendors? And I lived to tell.) Memorable, messy and marvelous. To grill corn, wrap the shucked corn on the cob tightly in foil with butter. Turn it often over medium-hot coals for about 15-20 minutes. You can also bake the wrapped corn in the oven at 350 degrees. Mark Bittman tells us how to roast corn by heating the oven to 400 degrees, rubbing olive oil on the shucked corn, sprinkling with salt and pepper and roasting, turning often, until the kernels begin to brown, about 15-20 minutes. It's absolutely delicious roasted. The kernels can be eaten off the cob or sliced off for soup or fritters.
Corn features in many recipes. One ear of corn produces about a 1/2 cup of kernels when removed from the cob. I like a simple corn chowder. I know there are many fine recipes but I'll give my basic one here.
corn chowder
1 red onion, minced
kernels sliced from 6-7 ears of shucked corn
butter, 1/2 to 1 stick
1 quart of water, stock, milk or half & half
1. Melt the butter in a cast iron pot over medium heat and add the onion, stirring until soft. Add the corn kernels for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Add liquid. Depending on how thick and rich you want your soup, you can use water, stock, milk or half & half. Bring to a low boil and let cook for about 5-10 minutes. Turn heat to low to keep soup warm but not boiling.
3. Carefully put about 1/3 of the hot soup, including the kernels, in the blender. Puree and stir back into the soup pot. You might strain the soup if you don't like the skins. Salt and pepper to taste.
Other variations: add a diced red pepper or a small chili pepper to the onions and butter. Or garlic. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche.
How do you enjoy your sweet corn?

| 6.8°C Belfast
The Voice paid the penalty for Chelsea's Champions League heroics on Saturday night as it lost out in the ratings battle to the football.
Figures from ITV showed an average of almost seven million tuned in from 7pm when the pre-match coverage started through to 10.30pm - compared to 4.2 million on BBC1 in the same time slot.
That includes a hefty chunk of The Voice, which ran from 6.30pm to 8pm.
The Champions League final, won in dramatic fashion on penalties, reached a peak audience of 10.6 million and was the most watched programme on British television on the night.
ITV figures show a peak audience of 6.5 million tuned into The Voice.
It means another bad week for the BBC talent search show which was beaten in the ratings last weekend by another final - this time for its rival Britain's Got Talent.
At one stage, when station bosses had scheduled a series of head-to-head clashes, The Voice had won the ratings battle for three consecutive weeks - but since then it has been losing pace as viewers have lost interest in the show.

Leya was my "baby girl" for most of her life. She was even Miss Leya for a large part of her life. I adopted her in 2004 (I'm pretty sure that's right.) when I came to visit Josh in Texas when I still lived in PA. A year or so later I moved to Texas (in June 2005).
Leya flew from Texas to central PA and then she drove from PA to Texas via the eastern half of Tennessee so we could visit family on the way. People on the flight found her utterly adorable. For those not up on their geography, we added a few hours to our trip because Tennessee is very wide. It seemed to take forever. Leya wasn't named for Princess Leia, she was named for a person. I decided to give her name a different spelling, well because? Once she grew up, she was mini Leya as a kitten because she was so tiny but turned into a fat round cat.
You'll see she's laying beside a box of sandwich bags.
She was a crazy little kitten and she's probably provided me with emotional support all my life. She was always there When I was living alone I would occasionally come home to find that a certain kitten had lots of fun. Like the time she dragged a full paper towel roll down from the kitchen table. She must have chased it all around the kitchen. There was paper towels wrapped around the table legs. Next is the vicious Printer Beast. It's attack power is judging you. This picture is at least a few years old. In her prime before she grew into an old lady, she was adept at getting somewhere so that you couldn't ignore her, but she wasn't aggressive about it compared to some of our other cats.
Leya dealt with a lot too. One of our cats used to chase her about and because of that she stress-ate. She had a period where she freaked out for awhile from something. We think something happened in the apartment complex we were living in at the time when we weren't home and it was super traumatic for her. She used to hide when people showed up. She was always more comfortable around women than men. When I look back it's really hard to tell how much she actually liked other cats. She used to run and hide at the first crack of thunder too. You always knew when the storms were gone when Leya emerged from under the bed. She had all her little quirks like any cat but she didn't have quite as many nicknames. Her best nickname was probably Darth Vader. She had allergies most of her life and eventually developed fluid in her lungs and tried to turn into a bulldog with extra tissue around her mouth. She sounded quite a bit like Darth Vader. When she was older, at some point, she chilled out. Instead of hiding because people were here she searched for pets. She turned into an attention whore. A lot of these pictures are Leya quietly seeking attention.
Leya also had talons because I have never successfully taught a kitten to accept nail trimmings.
I'm sure this was accompanied with lots of purrs.
As you can see, Leya had trouble relaxing too. Based on the couch and the bookshelf arrangements, this picture was probably in the last year or so.
Grumpy looking cat would kill you with her mind. I adore this picture, so very much.
These past few years Leya provided me a lot of important emotional support. Every time I felt like shit there was a cat beside me, not judging, just being present. A purring cat really does have positive effects on your health. She was comfort in so many ways. Anxiety threatening a panic attack? She was there to purr for me. I miss her, deeply. She was here for almost 14 years of my life. Because she spent a lot of time actually with me, I seem to have a lot of pictures of her sleeping, waiting for belly rubs.
Cats are experts at hiding pain but you know how they feel by how they look in the eyes.
Until the last few months she spent 90% of the time that I was in the living room on the couch, on the living room with me. In the end she split her time with me and the heated bed, unless I laid out the other heating pad for her. Then she was happy, mostly. About six months ago we found a large lump on her neck. (However much lump you see on the outside? That's how much lump is on the inside.) We didn't know how long it had been there because she was not petted on her neck on a regular daily basis. Initially the lump seemed to be a cyst. I had a bad feeling. Then it was getting bigger, and harder. Around the new year she was getting worse, she had a big visit to the vet for blood work, to try to get the cyst smaller by removing fluids from it – which didn't really work, and treatment for her UTI – which she'd never had in her life. She was slowly going downhill until the last week or so. In one week she went from not eating dry food to not being able to swallow anything solid. At this point it was beyond obvious that the lump was aggressive cancer and had grown behind her esophagus to the other side and so it meant she could not swallow. Fuck cancer, we lost two cats in six months. One to slow moving cancer, one to fast moving cancer. Fuck cancer. Losing two cats in such a short period has made it even harder for me to cope.
Leya loved her belly rubs, but only from her people. As she matured, her circle of people grew to also be regular visitors. She also loved her food. She was a sweet girl, even the vet thought so. She didn't do the whole lap cat thing but one of her favorite things was to lay on the couch between Josh and I through dinner and then watching tv every night we ate at home. If she wasn't already on the couch, she would show up to sit on the couch with us as soon as Josh sat down. Literally.
This video is actually quite a few years old based on the wall in the background. Regardless it seemed like a great way to end. You might need to turn up your sound.
One last tidbit to leave you with… Leya was very sensitive. If she wanted to join you on the couch and you didn't invite her on to the couch with you after a few minutes, she would walk away, with her tail down. If you called her back, then she'd come trotting back, with her tail straight up, and join you. It was adorable.

With the August 1 transfer embargo passed, teams are now free to announce who will be riding for them in 2012.
Already several deals have been made public, with the new GreenEdge team and the newly-merged Omega Pharma-Quick Step squads quick to snap up riders for next season.
There could be a squeezed market this year, particularly with another team merger (between Leopard-Trek and RadioShack) being announced in early September, just weeks after the news that HTC-Highroad will fold at the end of the year broke.
Cycling Weekly will be keeping track of all the activity, as well as monitoring the latest rumours floating around the pro peloton.

With competitive pricing and moving services that are second-to-none, you'd be hard-pressed to find another Calgary moving company that gives you more bang for your buck.
Honest and Upfront Pricing
If you haven't experienced it yourself, ask anyone who has hired a bad moving company what it's like. Here at TSM, we believe in the Golden Rule. Treating clients the way we want to be treated is the measure by which we operate. We know how frustrating it is and how much it breaks trust for a moving company to give a low quote only to charge hidden fees later on. We don't like it when that happens to us; so we won't do that to you! When we give a quote, that is what you will pay so long as you don't require any additional services.
We Offer Luxury White Glove Moving Services
With climate-controlled trucks, any of your belongings that are temperature-sensitive will be moved safely. Such items might include plants, electronics, vintage wine collections, or even musical instruments. If you have any belongings that are sensitive, we will mark the boxes as "Private," so nobody will open them or see their contents. With our white glove moving services, we will provide special crates and packages for fragile, rare, and expensive items, such as artwork, marble items, etc.
TSM is a One-Stop Shop for Movers
Moving requires a lot of attention to detail. Overlooking even the most finite details of a move can lead to an avoidable headache. When moving, not only does one have to make all the right plans and preparations for getting resettled, but location cleanup, packing and unpacking, acquiring materials for packing, storage, and a whole host of other details must be considered and planned for as well.
When you move with TSM, we've got everything you need in-house. Trucks, wardrobe boxes, shrink wrap, moving blankets, tape; we can provide all of it for you. We'll even come to your place and pack your stuff for you if you'd like. We'll unpack you when you get to your new location. Do you have a car, boat, or other large craft/vehicles you need to have moved? If so, TSM has you covered!

By George Philip
A few months ago, British Foreign Secretary William Hague made a speech at Canning House in which he promised upgraded and more constructive relations with Latin America. It is fair to say that this promise has not exactly been fulfilled. On the contrary, not only have British relations with Argentina deteriorated because of the Falklands issue but there are also signs that the Argentine position is being supported by countries such as Uruguay which have their own differences with Argentina.
While the current spat can be blamed, to an extent at least, on British insensitivity toward Argentinean susceptibilities, some underlying realities have to be faced. The most important one is that, in highlighting its claim that the British government hands over the 'Malvinas', or at least starts negotiations with that end in view, Argentina is banging its head against a wall. No British government could afford to do this. This is not primarily because of events that may have occurred in the nineteenth century where the record is genuinely ambiguous. It may indeed be true that the Argentina's version of the events of 1833 is flawed –there is evidence that the non-military Argentine population of the Falklands left voluntarily rather than being forcibly expelled. However this is probably not the key point. It is a fact that successive British governments did agree to negotiate on sovereignty at various points in the 1960s and 1970s. There is every indication that successive British governments, including that of Margaret Thatcher, would have been happy to see some kind of sharing of sovereignty with Argentina and regarded the lack of enthusiasm for this on the part of the Islanders with a degree of impatience. If Argentina had not invaded the Islands there is every chance that subsequent some British government, probably one facing economic difficulties, might have found it in Britain's interest to do a deal. The fact that there were negotiations with Argentina prior to the invasion may not give the Argentineans a case in strict law, but it clearly indicates the real issue.
The problem is the fact that Argentina did indeed invade the Falklands. British lives –as well as Argentinean ones- were lost in getting them back. Argentina would sometimes seem to suggest that the invasion was an anomalous event precipitated by an unrepresentative and repressive military dictatorship but this argument will not wash. Galtieri's decision to invade was evidently designed to increase the popularity of the Junta –as indeed it would have done had the invasion been militarily successful. The whole strategy of invasion was predicated on the entirely borne-out belief that most Argentineans would support it. There is persuasive though not quite compelling evidence from US archival documents that Galtieri was at the time planning to call elections in Argentina in which he was intending to be a candidate. The Falkland invasion, had it succeeded, would have played a prominent part in his campaign. It may still be true that British military action helped rid Argentina, and other South American countries too, of some particularly unpleasant military governments but it cannot seriously be disputed that Galtieri's move was popular at the time.
There is, of course, no international law which states that any country that invades the territory of another should thereby forfeit its territorial claim. However that comes close to the way in which many British people think. The British position in reality is that 'our soldiers must not have died in vain.' Once lives have been lost, the picture changes. The events of 1982 make it inconceivable that any British government would hand over sovereignty to Argentina, or even to agree to share. The apparent discovery of oil in the region is a secondary issue but it also plays some part in hardening the British position. Meanwhile, as William Hague pointed out in his Canning House speech, relations with Latin America have hardly been a central British interest in the past. Barring a new war in the South Atlantic, Argentina's ability to pressurise its fellow South American republics to put pressure on Britain is quite limited. There is insufficient British interest in the region.
All of this is not intended to be an unconditional defence of the British position. Britain, in relation to Latin America as elsewhere, too often suffers from what I think of as 'Jeremy Clarkson's syndrome' –namely a complete lack of understanding of what might give offence to foreigners. We saw something of this with our disastrous recent World Cup bid and we are seeing it again now. Argentina was surely justified in seeing Prince William's posting to the Falklands as an avoidable provocation, Surely the Defence Chiefs could have found a suitable posting for Prince William other than in the Falklands? Even if he had to be sent there at some point for career reasons, then was the 30th anniversary year of the South Atlantic conflict quite the best time to choose? The British government should have shown more sensitivity to the fact that Cristina Kirchner has her own public opinion to cope with.
By the same token, Prime Minister Cameron is already known in Britain for being combative at the Dispatch Box –his job requires this- but his comment on Argentine colonialism did not give one the impression of a Prime Minister that cared about good relations with that country. Perhaps he thought that he was dealing with Sarkozy where relations appear to thrive on the periodic exchange of schoolboy insults. However Cristina Kirchner is no Sarkozy and there is no 'entente' between Britain and Argentina. The two countries fought a war thirty years ago and all the wounds have not yet healed.
For the future, there may be some downside for Britain in a continued conflict with Argentina, but not very much. Cristina Kirchner potentially has more to lose domestically once it becomes clear that her approach will not get the Falklands. I hope that she is now careful to keep an eye on her military. After all Argentina experienced many years of military government prior to the 1982 debacle. Since then its military has been in the doghouse, and successive civilian governments have made it a priority to keep it there. Keeping the military in its place, indeed, has been one of the marked achievements of post-1983 Argentina. By raising the issue of military preparedness, however indirectly, Kirchner may identify the military in the Argentine public mind with a cause and so assist in its political rehabilitation. That would not be a good idea.

I am curious why Ruckus see fit to only offer 2 years of sustaining software engineering after End-of-Sale (EoS) when competitors such as Aerohive and Aruba offer 5 years?
Looking at the documentation that Ruckus provide:
Ruckus Support is unable to provide software fixes or upgrades which may be required to resolve support cases after the EOM date.
I think that it is important to factor in how long sustaining engineering is available when calculating the total cost of ownership for a wireless solution.
It is one thing to not get new features after EoS hits but quite another to be left with unmaintained, unfixed software. 5 years not 2 years seems reasonable.
What do others think? When you buy or think about buying a Ruckus solution, does this more limited useful product lifespan not concern you?
As many customers clearly buy having not fully checked when an AP or controller came to market, having a safety net of 5 years of sustaining software engineering after EoS seems, to me, commercially reasonable.
We understand your viewpoint but are trying to balance doing new development versus
supporting/maintaining older products. Chips used for CPU, memory, Flash, and radios
have all been upgraded in new model APs, to be able to provide the added features/functions
that the software team are writing. We'd like to provide 5,6,7 years of continued fixes after
EoS date, but are meeting Cisco's 2 years after EoS support. If further bug fixes become
available, we'll certainly provide them, but DE focus is on new feature development as we
aim to provide the best products.
Please contact your Ruckus account team, or local VAR, regarding any TradeUP or other
discount offerings, as these may vary across territories, but I can't offer more thru the forums.
Here's a link to our marketing brochure on the TradeUP program:
Thanks for the reply.
I do not think that it answers the question though.
I am struggling to understand why sustaining engineering after EoS until EoL for APs/controllers would impose additional, tangible constraints on the resources available as new, additional features would not be added.
Sustaining engineering that is carried out until EoL occurs would instead only make corrections to existing features or resolve security vulnerabilities. That is the very purpose and nature of that process via maintenance branches.
Surely the CPU, memory and flash storage argument that you put forward is moot and simply not relevant to the point under discussion?
What am I missing? Is this not a realistic and reasonable expectation for your customers to have?
Not arguing against your point though.
Personally speaking, this is not something that bothers me a lot, because my requirements for fast wifi generally means the technology advancement outpaces Ruckus's EOL cadence anyway. I set up two deployments, one using R600/R700/R710, and one using ZF7982's. When setting up the 7982's, I knew what I was doing lifecycle wise.
Now, about a year and a half later, the 7982 isn't even EOL, but it's starting to get to the point where I've been thinking hard about upgrading. And by the time the R600/700 go 3-5 years and start becoming EOL, I can't imagine not wanting to upgrade them too.
EOL or not, you are still paying a constant support cost to run the controllers, and Ruckus offers some very attractive trade-up promotions. I think between the two, there's always a good upgrade path going forward.
The only case where I felt a bit upset was the EOL of the ZD1100. At the time I bought it, it was still the newest ZD on the market, and I got it to go along with the 802.11ac AP's. These AP's never got feature complete before ZD1100 was EOLed. Unlike for the AP's, the VAR didn't have any incentives for controller upgrades despite it being under a year from when I purchased the ZD1100, so to be fair, I think that situation could have been handled better.
Perhaps I'm wrong, definitely curious what others think.
ZoneDirector (1100/3000/5000) 184.108.40.206.14 MR3 that we posted in late July.
Ruckus always addresses security issues asap, and may issue sw patches. We've replaced any
susceptable firmware with patch releases, and we keep a public security notice page.
I'm naturally playing devil's advocate here, which I do with all vendors. Nothing against Ruckus! :)

Roseville plans to write more of own tickets and keep all the money

Roseville plans to write more of own tickets and keep all the money
Feb. 02, 2009 Sacramento Bee
Tickets for running a stop sign or ignoring a "No U-Turn" sign soon may be less expensive for drivers in Roseville but much more profitable for the city.
It's all part of Roseville's plan to encourage police to write tickets for certain types of moving violations under the city's municipal code, rather than the state vehicle code.
The plan would put conservative Roseville shoulder-to-shoulder with Berkeley and a few other cities. But the plan doesn't sit well with the insurance industry.
The difference for offenders? A lower fine – $100 instead of $146 for first offenses – and a driver's record without added "points" that can lead to higher insurance premiums or even a revoked license.
The difference for the city? No need to share the fine revenue with Placer County and the state. So the city would get $100, instead of its standard share of $31.50, according to Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther.
Police Capt. Stan Lumsden, who runs the city's traffic division, said the plan makes sense on several levels.
"If you are going to write tickets, why not put more money in the city's pocket so we can afford to keep our traffic safety programs going?" Lumsden said.
He stressed that officers will not start writing more tickets just to boost revenue.
"That is not what drives them," he said. "What drives them is public safety.
"But I'm not going to make any apologies. Frankly, the city should get the benefit of those fines if they do all the work."
Lumsden said city police have been writing commercial violations – mostly involving truck routes, loads and license issues – under the municipal code since last summer. In the first three months, the city collected about $6,800.
Truck drivers tend to pay fines sooner, he said, and are less likely to contest the muni code tickets than California Vehicle Code citations.
Roseville's municipal codes for traffic violations have been on the books for years, but a training program in the works likely will make that type of tickets more common, Lumsden said. No start date has been set for the training or the broader use of muni code tickets, he said.
He said officers will not use the muni code for red-light violations and noted that the city is not using red-light cameras for now because it's between contracts with a provider.
But officers can cite for lesser moving violations, such as stop signs, driving on the wrong side of the road or disobeying one-way and U-turn traffic signs.
Some cities, including Folsom, use their municipal codes for commercial truck citations, but most cities limit use to parking tickets. Sacramento uses the codes mostly for parking and bicycle violations, said spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong.
Berkeley, though, gives officers discretion similar to Roseville's plan, said Sgt. Robert Rittenhouse of the Berkeley police traffic bureau.
He said the goal is not to generate revenue, however, and did not know if Berkeley's fines were lower for municipal code tickets.
News of Roseville's plan has rankled at least one Southern California driver and the Association of California Insurance Companies.
Jim Lissner, a police-traffic watchdog from Los Angeles, has sparred via e-mail with Roseville and a Southern California park district that has a similar approach to issuing traffic tickets.
"As I drive around California, I'm pretty much willing to obey the law," he said. "I can't do that if every city has its own laws.
"If I drive into their town, I'm liable to get one of these Mickey Mouse tickets that they probably wouldn't dare to issue if it would see the light of an actual court or judge … most people are just going to pay the tickets because they think they are getting a discount."
Samuel Sorich, president of a Sacramento insurance association, said his members write about half of the auto premiums in California. The muni code tickets pose serious issues regarding safety, as well as potentially unfair and unequal treatment for drivers, he said.
"California has a uniform vehicle code and under state law, a person's driving record is the most important determinant of his insurance premium," he said. "That was Prop. 103, which the voters approved (in 1988)."
If the driving record is not accurate, he said, people may not pay premiums that match their driving records.
He also said another reason that violations need to be reported is to take unsafe drivers off the road.
Roseville's Lumsden said Sorich made good points, but that city officers use discretion in writing tickets as municipal code violations.
"If an officer sees prior violations and such," he said, "he probably would write it under the vehicle code so it will follow the driver."
He also said fines from muni code tickets, though lower, still serve as deterrents.

Voga Italia Sparkling Pinot Grigio
Posted in: Wine Packaging Design
Here's a relatively inexpensive yet festive and delectable alternative to fancy champagne for frugal Valentine's Day celebrations: Voga Italia's Sparkling Pinot Grigio. My colleague Deidre Woollard first wrote about the fashionable brand back in 2006; the Sparkling Pinot Grigio (left) the latest addtion to their luxe lineup.
Voga Italia "transformed the traditional, stuffy wine bottle into a distinctive, glamorous shape." The curvier clear glass bottle of the Sparkling is sealed with a traditional cork and topped with a resealable, airtight cap. Voga Sparkling is made from 100% Pinot Grigio from the mountainous province of Trentino and the Veneto region (home to Venice) of Northern Italy.
At 12% alcohol, it's a striking golden color with a fine effervescence, aromas of white blossoms and ripe fruit, and a clean citrusy finish. It sells for $15.99.

The Senate is finalizing a health care bill that could affect coverage for millions of Americans and overhaul an industry that makes up one-sixth of the economy.
Only one problem: Almost no one knows what's in it, NBC News reported.
In a striking break from how Congress normally crafts legislation, the Senate is conducting its negotiations behind closed doors. The process began five weeks ago with a small working group of 13 senators, no women included.
The lack of transparency makes it impossible to evaluate whether there are any significant changes coming to health care. There are no hearings in which the public can watch experts' testimony or where Democrats can offer amendments.

The Hill
October 22, 2008
Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation's first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.
Democratic strategists and advocates for black voters say they understand officers wanting to keep the peace, but caution that excessive police presence could intimidate voters.
Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee for president, has seen his lead over rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation that there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.
Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and Philadelphia, will have extra police deployed.
In Oakland, the police will deploy extra units trained in riot control, as well as extra traffic police, and even put SWAT teams on standby.
"Are we anticipating it will be a riot situation? No. But will we be prepared if it goes awry? Yes," said Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department.

March 22nd. 7:30PM. The Irish House at 1432 St. Charles Ave.
I'm pleased as punch to announce that I'll be appearing in New Orleans for the first time next month. I'll be taking part in the New Orleans chapter of Noir @ the Bar, and I'll be appearing with the incredible crime authors Charles Gramlich, Greg Herren, Laura Lippman, and Megan Abbott. It's exciting to join these great authors. I already have my copy of Megan's Bury Me Deep packed up so I can get her to sign it.
Long story short, this is an amazing lineup. If you're anywhere near New Orleans, you don't want to miss this sucker.

More often than not, city design mockups for the future are left in two dimensional form due to their fanciful natures and improbable fruition, yet one company decided to create 3D-printed futuristic architectural concepts to showcase their capabilities to the world. Unveiled during Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada, designers Kyle Gifford, Kelly Root and Anthony Horsley were tapped to conceive the sci-fi metropolises.
Once those plans were mocked up, WhiteClouds stepped in to construct the 3D-printed futuristic architectural concepts. The Ogden, Utah-based company used the ProJet 660 by 3D Systems and multi-material printing Stratasys Connex 500 to achieve such a feat. The results were done up in full color and boasted much detail. All together, WhiteClouds created four models, each one very different from the next.
3D-Printed Futuristic Architectural Concepts are Spectacularly Sci-Fi

Pope Benedict XVI resigned from the papacy in 2013. It is a rare move. The idea of 'the Pope' is he represents an unbroken link back to the apostle Peter the first of all the popes. Christ personally said of Peter 'on this rock I build my church' and from there the popes have claimed their power ever since.
It is a long line of unprecedented power
The size and extent of the Catholic Church are mind-boggling. With 1.2 million followers it is the world's largest single religion. There is no corner of the globe where Catholicism has not reached. It has been in existence for 2,000 years give or take and throughout all of that time it has rarely been without controversy.
Questioning the church is a relatively recent event
Throughout history the church went unquestioned, or at least to put that a different way, it demanded obedience. For those who went against the church, there was the ultimate deterrent of excommunication.
Excommunication from the church meant a person's immortal soul was in peril and while that carried a strong belief it was a massive deterrent.
Over time the church proved time and again it was all too human and so the tendency to question arose. But usually, it was in a quest to find an alternative route to the same God.
In addition to excommunication, the Popes had one other 'trick' up their sleeves. When speaking ex-cathedra (literally from the seat) Popes are deemed to be infallible. Not surprisingly modern Popes tend to be careful then so speak.
An ex-cathedra statement, however, was the Pope speaking supposedly direct from Christ and the world is therefore dogma.
Stepping down is curious
With this level of power and with this tradition to step down is an odd thing to do. In the entire history of the papacy, it has happened twice. John Paull II supposedly created an instrument of resignation but never actually did resign even when his battle with Parkinson's was piteously obvious.
For his successor to step down after a relatively short period, Benedict was pope for only 8 years, is odd of itself. To step down without being explicit as to why is to open up a can of worms.
Conspiracy theories
Benedict has always refused to speak on why he resigned or his thoughts on his successor. But he has not stopped wearing the white papal robes or the red shoes he so obviously loves. He lives in quiet seclusion in the grounds of the Vatican where he can be seen walking in the garden on summer days.
He remains enigmatic in his silence, but around him, conspiracies fly.
One of the theories is he saw this coming and tried to dodge the bullet. It is an unattractive theory. If a man has a direct line to Christ, shouldn't he show some backbone? It places Pope Francis in an invidious position. The story will end soon. Benedict himself noted earlier this year he is on 'a pilgrimage toward Home.'

What does a Counseling Psychologist do?
A counseling psychologist supports and aids those in working through their every day struggles, at home and in the workplace. They "foster well-being by promoting good mental health and preventing mental, physical, and social disorders� in settings such as university or crisis counseling centers, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and individual or group practices," according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Counseling psychologists develop specialized techniques to aid their patients in a variety of ways. To support their patients, counseling psychologists offer psychotherapy, diagnose and treat mental disorders, and help their patients cope with their emotional problems. Either in a research setting, in a hospital, school, private practice, or in a family services setting, these professionals help people work through mental health issues and every day problems.
Educational requirements for counseling psychologists
A variety of psychology degree programs are offered at a multitude of universities and colleges in the United States. Once enrolled in a psychology program, you take a variety of classes with a focus on behavioral neuroscience, clinical psychology, counseling, brain behavior, cognition, developmental and behavioral psychologies, and forensic and organizational psychologies, according to Yale University's Psychology Department.
As you progress in your degree program, you learn how to treat patients suffering from a variety of issues and help those struggling with everyday life issues. While you can work as a counseling psychologist with simply a Master's degree, obtaining a Ph. D. in Psychology affords you more opportunities for career advancement.
To work in a school setting, most states require you to have a specialist degree in addition to a Ph.D., although some states allow you to work with a Master's degree alone. To conduct research, a doctoral degree is usually required to work in an organizational or industrial psychology setting, although you can qualify for psychological assistant positions with a Master's degree.
Job prospects for counseling psychologists
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of psychologists is expected to grow 12 percent because of increased demand for psychological services in schools, hospitals, social service agencies, mental health centers, substance abuse treatment clinics, consulting firms, and private companies. Once you obtain a psychology degree, there are a variety of jobs you can obtain.
Counseling psychologists have the option of working in a variety of jobs, including school psychologist, rehabilitation counselors, or as industrial-organizational psychologists. Counseling psychologists in California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Illinois have the highest annual mean wage. In the New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago metropolitan areas, clinical psychologists have the highest annual mean wages.
Becoming a counseling psychologist offers you many opportunities for success in the field while helping others lead happier and healthier lives.

6 February 2017: One of the United States of America's leading thinkers in ocean health and an advisor to former US President Barack Obama has delivered a dual message of urgency and hope about the world's oceans at the University of Canberra. See the video.
Distinguished Professor in Marine Studies at Oregon State University, Jane Lubchenco, highlighted some of the science-based solutions to problems affecting the one, connected ocean around the world during the University's Institute for Applied Ecology 2017 Krebs Lecture.
The renowned academic discussed that although there are very serious problems such as ecosystem collapse, coral bleaching and overfishing, the situation is far from hopeless.
"Solutions to seemingly intractable problems are providing glimmers of hope. The challenge is to understand why certain solutions are working, then to replicate and scale them up to have global impact," Professor Lubchenco said.
"A common thread across these solutions is a change in incentives for the key actors. If economic and social incentives can be aligned with conservation, there can be powerful outcomes," she said. "We seek proven, science-based solutions that work in the North Atlantic as easily as they can in the Pacific.
"I think it's time to set aside the doom and gloom approach when thinking about our ocean and focus instead on replicating and scaling existing solutions as well as developing new ones. Science is needed now as never before.
"The world can't afford to let these problems run away from us, with so many people depending on our seas for their life and livelihood."
Professor Jane Lubchenco delivers the 2017 Krebs Lecture, recorded at the University of Canberra.
Professor Lubchenco served as Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US from 2009-2013.
The University's annual Krebs Lecture is dedicated to Professor Charles Krebs for his extraordinary contribution to our understanding and appreciation of our natural world.
Past speakers include former federal Liberal Party leader Dr John Hewson AM, Environment and Education Minister Peter Garrett AM, and internationally renowned environmentalist and author Professor Tim Flannery.
