Occidental College was founded on April 20, 1887, by a group of Presbyterian clergy, missionaries, and laymen, including James George Bell. The college's first term began a year later with 27 men and 13 women students, and tuition of $50 a year. Initially located in Boyle Heights, the college declined to move to an undeveloped area called "Westwood" and moved, instead, to a new campus in Los Angeles' Highland Park neighborhood in 1898.
Despite a strong Presbyterian presence on its campus, Occidental began to lessen its ties to the church in 1900. In 1920, the school began construction of a new campus located in Los Angeles' Eagle Rock neighborhood. The Eagle Rock campus was to be designed by noted California architect Myron Hunt. That same year, Occidental President John Willis Baer announced the trustees' decision to convert Oxy into an all-men's institution. However, students protested, and the idea was abandoned.
Move to Eagle Rock[edit]
Two weeks after Booker T. Washington came to visit Occidental, on March 27, 1914 — the school's 25th anniversary — Swan, Fowler, and Johnson Halls were dedicated at its new Eagle Rock campus. The Eagle Rock campus covers over 120 acres (49 ha), much of which is undeveloped land on a hill known as "Mt. Fiji".
In April 1917, the college formed an Army Corps to aid the war effort. The college opened its Hillside Theatre in 1925, and a student union in 1928. During World War II, many students left Occidental to fight in the war. In July 1943, 53 students established a Navy V-12[4] unit on campus and left for active duty.
In 1962, Time described Occidental as a little giant in a story about the college's rise to national prominence.[5] In 1969, the school opened its first two co-ed dormitories, and two more followed a year later. On May 6, 1970, the faculty voted to suspend classes in the wake of the Kent State shootings and America's invasion of Cambodia. Subsequently, Oxy students wrote 7,000 letters to Washington D.C., protesting U.S. involvement in the war in Southeast Asia.[citation needed]
The era also inspired positive changes in administration in regards to ethnic minority rights. The college received grants designed to help equal the playing field for students traditionally neglected in higher education. This laid the foundation for a series of actions aiming to continue closing the access gap for minorities of virtually all categories in the decades to come, the most important of which was President John Brooks Slaughter's institution of the college's "mission statement," an organizational declaration around which the entire college would function and aspire to both academic excellence and equity. The mission statement was written just 18 months after Slaughter was appointed President in 1988.[6][7] Recently, the 2007 U.S. News and World Report ranked Occidental College the 36th best liberal arts college in the country, tied with Bard College in New York and Whitman College in Washington, citing both ethnic and economic diversity as key achievements.[8]
In 1979, Occidental installed Water Forms II (see image below), a kinetic fountain designed by professor George Baker. The fountain is a campus landmark and was featured prominently in the 1984 film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. During the 1984 Olympic Games, some track events were held at Occidental's Patterson Field. By 1986, for the first time since World War II, women students outnumbered men. Today, the college is approximately 60 percent female and 40 percent male; roughly equivalent to the national average. On July 1, 2006, Susan Prager became Occidental's first female president. She then left her position in 2007 during the fall term.[9] On July 1, 2009, Jonathan Veitch, formerly dean of The New School's Eugene Lang College, became Occidental's 15th president and the first to be a native Angeleno. In 2010, Occidental College began offering to students of all backgrounds, an opportunity to participate in The California Career Experience Programs in careers such as Denistry, Veterinary, and Liberal Arts. All career opportunity programs are free and must be completed to a two month term.
Lawsuits regarding the handling of sexual assault cases[edit]
A Federal civil rights complaint was filed in April 2013 by 37 students stating that the school "deliberately discouraged victims from reporting sexual assaults, misled students about their rights during campus investigations, retaliated against whistle-blowers, and handed down minor punishment to known assailants who in some cases allegedly struck again". This complaint was later joined by 13 others, including members of the college staff supportive of their concerns. Typical of the allegations is one in which a rapist was found culpable by the college, and given as sole punishment the writing of a 2 1/2 page essay. This complaint is currently under active investigation by the Federal Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. On September 18, 2013, the college also settled a lawsuit brought by 10 students also alleging improper treatment of their sexual assault cases, on undisclosed terms.[10][11]
To end sexual misconduct on campus and support those experiencing it, the College has taken the following actions: adopted a new interim sexual misconduct policy; hired a former Assistant District Attorney, Ruth Jones, as a full-time, independent Title IX coordinator; added a new 24-hour, seven-days-week telephone hotline; hired a full-time survivor advocate; conducted a comprehensive internal audit of its Clery Act reporting practices; doubled staff for Project SAFE, a campus advocacy and education program dedicated to addressing sexual misconduct; expanded preventative education for all students through online programs, the office of Residence Education, Project SAFE, and a speakers' series, and created a permanent Sexual Misconduct Advisory Board made up of students, faculty and staff.[12][13][14][15]
Architect Myron Hunt, who also designed the Rose Bowl Stadium, designed Oxy's original buildings in a Mediterranean style, with covered walkways and tile roofs. Currently, there are 12 on-campus residence halls. The three original buildings of the 1914 campus still stand today, although seismic concerns have limited them to classrooms and academic offices. Some buildings, such as the Hameetman Science Center (designed by Anshen + Allen, 2003), deviates from the original architecture with its large glass windows and metal balconies (its lobby houses a large Foucault pendulum). Occidental's newest building, the 278-bed Rangeview Residence Hall, opened in January 2008 at a cost of a reported $38.8 million and is the first residence hall built in 25 years.[16]
Master plan[edit]
The most recent Occidental College Master Plan was released in 2006 and filed with the City of Los Angeles. The Plan's main focuses were to restore and adaptively reuse existing buildings, build new projects that contribute to a coherent campus form, pedestrianize the academic campus, create green buildings and green landscapes, and encourage and/or participate in neighborhood compatible development. In 2009 the College withdrew the Plan from the City. In a campus email, President Veitch explained that the motivation was to start a new planning process that would be more inclusive to all parties affected by the college. According to an Occidental College Weekly Article the move caught many off guard and was a bad start to the process if the school wanted it be more inclusive.[17]
Since 2009, there has been no movement around campus to start up a new Master Plan. However, the college has released a new Strategic Plan that will guide the college from 2012 - 2017.[18]
Academics and resources[edit]
There are 31 majors offered on campus and there is a 10:1 student-faculty ratio. The average class size is 19 students and most students take four classes per semester.[19]
Core program[edit]
Divided in three parts, the Core Program was designed by the faculty of Occidental to unify and enhance the liberal arts education offered by the school. The Core Program requires students to achieve the following:
- complete two first-year writing seminars; one course in the fall, another in the spring (called CSPs);
- complete a set number of courses in 3 of 6 available geographical areas worth at least 12 units: Africa and the Middle East, South, Central and East Asia, Europe, Latin America, the United States, Intercultural
- complete a 102-level language course or be exempt through four ways
- complete a course concerning the pre-1800s era and one focused on the fine arts
- complete three math and science courses; one has to be a lab science
- pass a senior-year comprehensive examination within the student's chosen major.[20]
First-year seminars (eight course hours in total) are the centerpiece of the Core Program. Students are given a variety of class choices to fulfill the seminar requirement and to satisfy the first-year writing requirement. While the classes range in topic, each is based on a curriculum of cultural studies. The classes are designed to expose students to the rigor of college academics and to the four principles of the college mission—Excellence, Equity, Community, and Service.
The Core Program's emphasis on global literacy requires students to take a minimum of three courses that touch on at least three of the following geographical areas: Africa and the Middle East; Asia and the Pacific; Europe; Latin America; the United States; and Intercultural. Students are also required to demonstrate proficiency in writing and in a foreign language and take courses in the fine arts and in the sciences, mathematics, or other courses that address formal methods of reasoning.
The final portion of the Core Program requires students to pass a senior comprehensive examination in their chosen field. Comprehensive examinations may include seminars, creative projects, fieldwork, oral exams, theses, or field research projects.
Exchange and cooperative joint degree programs[edit]
California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Columbia University[edit]
Students at Occidental can take courses at the California Institute of Technology in nearby Pasadena free of charge. In addition, a 3-2 engineering program allows qualified students the opportunity to study at Occidental for three years, completing their undergraduate experience with an additional two years either at Caltech or Columbia University. At the end of the five years, the student receives two degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in the Combined Plan from Occidental and a Bachelor of Science in the selected field of engineering from the engineering school.
Art Center College of Design[edit]
Art majors at Occidental College can take courses at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, one of the country's top-ranked art schools. The program is not open to first-year students, but as with the Caltech exchange program, students receive full course credit. No additional tuition payments are required.
Columbia University School of Law[edit]
With a competitive GPA and LSAT scores, Columbia Law School admits students upon completion of their junior year at Occidental into its Accelerated Interdisciplinary Program in Legal Education. Admittance to the program enables students to earn a bachelor's degree from Occidental and a law degree from Columbia in six years.
Keck Graduate Institute[edit]
Students who are interested in biotechnology and who become a biochemistry major maintaining a 3.2 GPA in the necessary courses will be guaranteed admission to the Keck master's in bioscience program. The Keck Graduate Institute is part of the Claremont Colleges consortium.
Reputation and rankings[edit]
In Forbes 2013 rankings of America's Top Colleges, Occidental ranks 109th.[21] In U.S. News and World Report's 2013 rankings of American liberal arts colleges, Occidental is tied for 39th.[22] Since 1908, Occidental has graduated 10 Rhodes Scholars.[23] The 2007 Princeton Review describes Occidental as having a "rising star quality" and notes that Occidental's professors have been called "top quality."[24] The 2006 edition of America's Best Value Colleges by the Princeton Review noted that the college "is committed to recruiting top students regardless of their financial background."[25] The College Prowler says that people "look at Occidental degrees very highly," but that Occidental often does not receive the attention it deserves.[26]
For the Class of 2015 (enrolled fall 2011), Occidental received 6,120 applications and accepted 2,369 (38.7%).[27] Of the 537 enrolling, 56.1% were female; 43.9% male.[27] In terms of class rank, 60% of enrolled freshmen were in the top 10% of their high school classes; 91% ranked in the top quarter.[27] The middle 50% range of SAT scores of enrolled freshmen was 600-700 for critical reading, 610-690 for math, and 600-700 for writing;[27] the middle 50% range of the ACT Composite score was 27-31.[27]
Occidental is one of the five schools that founded the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) in 1915 and is currently a member of the SCIAC and NCAA Division III. Occidental features 21 varsity sports teams and a program of club sports and intramural competition. Approximately 25 percent of the student body participates in a varsity sports program.[28]
During the 2006–2007 athletic season, the Tigers cross country, American football and basketball teams were Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions. The school's Blackshirts Rugby union team was also league champion for the first time in five years. In 2011, Jeremy Castro ('99) and Patrick Guthrie ('86) steered the squad to a NSCRO final falling to Longwood University 36-27 in Virginia Beach, VA. In addition the college boasts a competitive and growing elite dance team that also performs at every home football and basketball game.[28]
In 1982, the Occidental College football team had the rare opportunity for national prominence when, due to the NFL football strike, their game with San Diego was broadcast on national television.[29]
In 2011, Occidental College lost a Basketball game to Caltech with a score of 46 to 45 giving the Caltech Beavers their first conference win in 26 years and putting an end to their 310 game losing streak.[30]
Famous Occidental College Tigers include NFL coach Jim E. Mora, former American Football League Most Valuable Player Jack Kemp, former NFL player Vance Mueller, 2011 U.S. Senior Open Champion Olin Browne, CFL player Justin Goltz (Winnipeg Blue Bombers).

Dorm life[edit]
For the first three years at Occidental, all students are required to live on campus; as a senior, it is an option. Freshmen do not get to choose where they live; res-ed life arranges housing by pairing students based on a short form students fill in the summer before they arrive on campus. The Occidental College dorm life consists of 13 co-ed residential housing facilities. As a first year, students have the option of living in Newcomb Hall, Chilcott Hall, Braun Hall, and Stewart-Cleland Hall (commonly known as Stewie). After a student's first year, he or she can choose to live in a number of dorms that house sophomores, juniors, and seniors; one-third of all these halls are reserved for each grade. These dorms include Bell-Young Hall, Wylie Hall, Erdman Hall, Haines Hall, Rangeview Hall and Stearns Hall. All residence halls are smoke-free, have a computer lab for use, laundry facilities, meeting/gathering space (common room), and are equipped with DIREC TV in that lounge. There are also themed-living communities which consist of the Multicultural Hall known as Pauley (open to all years), the Women's Center (Berkus House), the E. Norris Hall, the Pet House (where currently students get to live with a dog), and the Food Justice house. The items supplied in each dorm room are a bed frame/mattress, a desk, a desk chair, a dresser, a microfridge, and a microwave.[32]
Campus dining[edit]
Occidental's main dining facility is The Marketplace, which is located in the Johnson Student Center. The Tiger Cooler, an espresso bar and cafe is also popular among students. Faculty, students, staff, and visitors can also grab drinks and pastries at The Green Bean Coffee Lounge and Coffee Cart. Vending machines are also available.[33]
The Marketplace[edit]
Students can dine in the facility (in the cafeteria or outside in the patio) or grab food to go. Eco-friendly containers called Eco-Clamshells are offered to Occidental students, faculty and staff to reduce plastic waste. Furthermore, all food scraps and paper waste are recycled by a company. There are different food stations including the grill, homestyle, and the pasta station. Organic and local fruit is offered. On Mondays a "Meatless Monday" meal is offered.
The Tiger Cooler[edit]
This espresso bar and cafe is located in Samuelson Pavilion. Many students work there, either at the counter or at the grill taking one or multiple shifts. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, sushi, assorted pastries, Fosselman's ice cream, frozen yogurt, smoothies, espresso coffee drinks and other beverages are offered. Packaged snacks are also available. It is open until 11: 45 P.M. Monday-Thursday and until 2 A.M. Fridays and Saturdays. Pizza delivery can be requested as well.
The Coffee Cart[edit]
It is located in Rangeview. Coffee, tea, and snacks are available along with organic options that are not sold elsewhere on campus.
The Green Bean Coffee Lounge[edit]
Also located in the Johnson Student Center, this facility is student-run and was recently added by student request.
Student activities[edit]
The campus newspaper is the Occidental Weekly, an independent, student-run publication. It has been published continuously since 1893.[34]
KOXY is a student-run campus radio station, in operation in the 1960s and 1970s, and again since 2000.[35] It originally operated on the frequency 104.7 in and around campus from 1968 to 2009, but switched to only being available by webstream in 2009. KOXY sponsors several on-campus events.
In 2010, Occidental College launched a TV station called CatAList. The station produces 20–30 minutes of student-run content weekly on a variety of topics.
Greek Life[edit]
Occidental College's Greek Council consists of 8 members: sororities Alpha Lambda Phi Alpha, Delta Omicron Tau, Kappa Alpha Theta and Sigma Lambda Gamma, and fraternities Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Zeta Tau Zeta (co-ed).
At the beginning of every school year, freshmen participate in Convocation, a formal ceremony welcoming new students to the College in which the faculty wear their full academic regalia and students don robes. Students process from the Academic Quad to Thorne Hall as faculty line their path, cheering for them.[36]
Students are often thrown into the Lucille Gilman Memorial Fountain on their birthday.
Founders Day is celebrated April 20, the day in 1887 when Occidental's incorporation papers were officially signed by the California Secretary of State.[37]
Local involvement[edit]
There are various entities at Occidental College that promote local community involvement opportunities in Eagle Rock, Highland Park and Los Angeles. These include the Urban and Environmental Policy Institute (UEPI), the Office of Community Engagement (OCE), the Center for Community Based Learning (CCBL), the Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP), and Upward Bound.

The National Lottery Newham London Anniversary Run is back for 2014. Following the jubilant scenes of last year's event, runners will have the opportunity to celebrate London 2012's legacy in style once again.
This time around there will be no stadium finish, with the five-mile course instead featuring a number of the prestigious arenas that housed such inspirational scenes two years ago. The National Lottery Newham London Anniversary Run will take place on Sunday 20 July.
Taking in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the course includes the Velodrome, London Aquatics Centre and the Copperbox. You'll get the chance to see the athletes' former basecamp as you run through the East Village, as well as experience the beautiful new parklands and river ways.
There will be a shorter distance available for children in the Family Run, which offers an opportunity for younger runners aged 5 years and older to take part with an accompanying adult. Sign up here for the reminder service and we will email you when entries are open for this event.
By playing The National Lottery, the public provides crucial funding to our Olympic and Paralympic athletes and have most recently supported a glorious return of medals from the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Sochi.
The National Lottery Newham London Anniversary Run, staged in partnership with the London Borough of Newham, celebrates this contribution and the life-changing support players continue to give both grassroots and elite sport in the UK.
N.B. Please note, the 2014 event will NOT be taking place in the Stadium, as in 2013, due to it's redevelopment.

Ex Supersport
prop Coenie Oosthuizen will be specifically managed to ensure he returns to the field in Vodacom Super Rugby at his optimum fitness level, coach Naka Drotske has said.
Oosthuizen, who twice was withdrawn from Springbok duty after complaining about the neck injury, has been slowly working on his rehabilitation and there is a hope he will be fit and ready for the Toyota Cheetahs' opening game against the Sharks on February 23.
The Bok prop's injury has been a source of concern since he was withdrawn from Bok duty, and considering the seriousness of it, forced him to miss a huge chunk of the 2012 season.
But now with the prognosis being good, Drotske is hopeful Oosthuizen will be available for duty again when the competition begins, especially as the Cheetahs have lost both WP Nel and Marcel van der Merwe from their front row since the 2012 competition.
"Coenie has been undergoing rehabilitation and its going very well so far," Drotske told supersport.com, "He hasn't scrummed yet and hasn't taken a lot of contact, but we're sure he will be ready. He has to be given the go-ahead by the specialist, but if he says he is ready, then he will be."
With the Cheetahs' depth looking better this year with acquisitions like Johann Sadie, Elgar Watts and JP Nel, there is also some attention being given to the fitness of flyhalf Johan Goosen, who is the playmaker Drotske will base his game plan around.
Goosen struggled with injuries last year, missing part of Super Rugby and then the international season when he injured both his shoulder and knee. But hope is that he will be able to face the Bulls in the pre-season friendly in Polokwane on February 9 and will remain injury free this season.
"We'll definitely be looking to him to kickstart our campaign," Drotske added, "He was sensational last year before he was injured and we're expecting a lot from him this year."
Of the others, only lock Andries Ferreira and flanker Heinrich Brussow remain a concern for the opening game, while Willie le Roux, Lappies Labuschagne and Phillip van der Walt have all recovered from niggles in pre-season.
How about Juan Smith - anybod yhere anything.
Well dispite all fears there does seem a possiblity that Coenie will come back.
I am really worried about the nature of the injuries sustained by Coenie. Bearing in mind the Van Biljon case of a decade ago - both, but especially the neck injury, can be career-threatening. Van Biljon recovered fully - but after his operation and treatment he never was the player he was before. Psychological damage was the main problem.
The question remains - will Coenie be the same hard-scrummaging prop he used to be? I am not sure that anyone really has the answer - it can only be providd on he field of play by the player himself.
Brussoue seems to be constantly injured - he was out for most of 2012 I believe. A very good loosie - he is unlikely to make the Springboks in future - there re just too many younger, fitter and less-injury-prone competition for selection as a no 6 for the national team

Top 10: Things Women Love To Hear
Whether you're in a committed relationship or are playing the field, remember this rule: You can keep a woman ready to please you simply by letting her know how much she already does.
That said, here are the top 10 things women love to hear and why saying them will work wonders for you.
Number 10
"How was your day?"When you ask her how her day went, her interpretation is that you are thoughtful and eager to know about her 9-to-5 routine. Be warned though: This question gives her license to talk at length about all the little dramas that occurred throughout her day. So be ready to set aside some time to listen to her stories.
Why it makes you look good: To her, it's the thought that counts. Asking about her day shows that you're receptive, interested and open to listening to her. You're giving her an outlet to vent and acting as her confidante. Sure, you might have to listen longer than you want to, but once she's done talking shop, she'll be talking about you.
Number 9
"I can't believe how sexy you look!"Straight up, this tells her that you find her attractive, and to a lesser extent, that you want some. But, if you're in a relationship, she'll hear more than that — namely, that you're still lustfully appreciating her fine ass. No woman could fail to be flattered by that compliment.
Why it makes you look good: This line is particularly effective in long-term relationships, as you're assuring your woman that she's still hot. In return, this makes her want to share her hotness with you. Any questions? Didn't think so.
Number 8
"How do you feel about [anything]?"Asking this question tells your lady that you're genuinely concerned about her feelings. And, as both Oprah and Dr. Phil have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, women love to express their feelings on every topic imaginable. Know, however, that you're setting yourself up for a lengthy and deep conversation about whatever the topic may be. So don't ask this if you're planning to watch a game that night.
Why it makes you look good: It's all about showing the compassionate side. Once she understands that you're devoting attention to her it will make all her feelings about you that much more intense. So, if you were just kind of attractive before, you'll become a stud in her eyes. If you were a friend before, now she'll want more. Get the picture?
Number 7
"You're prettier than your girlfriends."Putting her on a pedestal among her peers gives her an ego boost that she can secretly lord over her gal pals. It's high praise in the world of women, and will score you some big flattery points.
Why it makes you look good: Aside from making her feel aesthetically superior to other women, this little remark will make her cognizant of how much you value her. She'll also feel less threatened by her friends when they are around you. She'll feel good about herself and consequently will want to reward your good taste. There is a potential flip side, however: the jealous partner may take this only as evidence that you're checking out her friends.
Number 6
"You're really smart."By acknowledging her intelligence, you're communicating that you recognize her brains, as well as her figure. This makes a woman feel appreciated for all her assets, not just the parts that fit in a thong or a bra. It's a mark of respect from her man.
Why it makes you look good: First off, she'll appreciate that you are capable of thinking above the waistline. Women love a cordial man, and there's no better way for you to show off your gentlemanly qualities than to praise and distinguish her smarts.
Other lines to make her melt...

Visiting the Records Office
Profile | Posted by | Options | Post Date |
Lynne From Up North !! | Report | 27 Feb 2013 11:47 |
Quick Question - If I was to visit a Records Office to find a death, would I be able to see a copy of the register where it was recorded? |
Researching: |
Andrew | Report | 27 Feb 2013 12:19 |
When and where was the death? |
Kuros | Report | 27 Feb 2013 12:33 |
You would not see a death record without buying the certificate. Record offices do not hold these records, they are be found in register offices. Register office staff can be very helpful but are unlikely to disclose any information that has to be paid for. As Andy said, you may be able to find parish records in record offices, although there are very few non-conformist records about. A parish record would not give you all the information found on a certificate. |
InspectorGreenPen | Report | 27 Feb 2013 13:16 |
A Records Office is not the same thing as a Register Office. |
Kuros | Report | 27 Feb 2013 16:54 |
Something else is worth mentioning. If you intend to visit a record office check first on their requirements. Most are online now. You need to take proof of identity for most of them and one I visited asked for two passport-sized photographs for a readers' ticket which you needed to go in. You only usually need to show proof of identity the first time you visit. |
Lynne From Up North !! | Report | 27 Feb 2013 17:38 |
Thank you all for your responses. |

Commemorating Tenderloin Residents
Join us for the launch of a new book, Death in the Tenderloin, a compilation of posthumous stories drawn from the pages of the Central City Extra, the Tenderloin's neighborhood newspaper. The book chronicles the passing of 99 residents – some saints, some sinners – who died in San Francisco's most notorious and poorest neighborhood. Among the stories are those of SRO-hotel pioneer Leroy Looper and Hank Wilson, the Mother Teresa of the Tenderloin. These "curtain calls" reveal the many paths of neighborhood lives and the universal journey of human existence.
Panel discussion with the book's authors: Tom Carter and Marjorie Beggs, moderated by Geoff Link, editor of Central City Extra.

Tim Sherwood pulled no punches on his Tottenham players after a series of individual errors handed Chelsea a 4-0 win on Saturday.
Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points after a 4-0 win over Tottenham.
Jon Walters was Stoke's hero and villain as he scored the equaliser but was then sent off in a 1-1 draw at Norwich.
Somebody mentions Paul Scholes and everybody writes in with those quotes from Zidane etc. Dull dull dull. We've ignored them. There's plenty more to enjoy here...
It does seem logical that the best thing to do with the best players is to play them from the start, when they have the most time to make an impact, rather than the last 15 minutes...

A Tulsa judge has ordered a 48-year-old father charged with having a child locked outside his house in the cold and another locked in a dog crate inside the house to stand trial.
During a court hearing Wednesday, William Lewallen was bound over. His next court hearing is set for January 22nd.
Lewallen's wife, Erin Lewallen, 27, had her hearing passed until January 30th.
Tulsa Police say officers found a naked 3-year-old boy screaming and crying in the backyard of the Lewallen home.
Inside the home, they heard another child screaming and found a 22-month-old girl, locked inside a dog crate.
They found a third child, naked and asleep in a bed next to William Lewallen.

China occupies Obama's Google+ page
President Barack Obama's Google+ page was inundated with Chinese comments over the weekend with messages saying, "Mr. President, Please pay more attention to Chinese civil rights," "I want a Green Card," and "the Chinese GOV doesn't represent the Chinese people."
This barrage comes as Chinese citizens caught onto a glitch that allowed them temporary access to the Google+ social-networking site, according to Reuters. Now, each of Obama's posts--going back more than a month--has hundreds of Chinese comments.
