2012 BMW DTM driver Augusto Farfus Jr. takes a group of ragdolls (aka passengers) around in the F10 M5 as he demonstrates both the new M5′s power and handling, as well as his professional racing skills. Check out the video inside.
Sometimes it's mad fun (and great sounding) to rip off some revs in your BMW in enclosed spaces such as tunnels or underground garage. So how would the 560hp F10 M5 MotoGP Safety Car with its Akrapovic exhaust system sound in the BMW Welt? As you can see in the video inside, pretty damn awesome!
The F10 M5 has officially launched to the Singapore market and BMW held a launch event to mark the occasion. Our members in attendance brings us a few photos from the event, which featured appropriately, a Singapore Grey M5.
Also a neat video of the F10 M5′s S63tu engine's cams in action, the DCT transmission, and the M5′s suspension/brakes.
The new BMW M5 (F10) boasts 560hp, so it's no wonder there have been many high/top speed run videos involving BMW M's newest model. Here's yet another high speed run in the F10 M5, up to 270 km/h.
Past videos have run to higher speeds (300 km/h video and 315 km/h video), but this is still fun to see.
Site member Advevo, who has extensive professional racing experience, shares his F10 M5 test drive and review with us. Click through for his thoughts on the M5 experience and great driving footage with some great M5 hoonage.
This F10 M5 on-track video from the Circuit Magny-Cours in France is one of the best track videos we've seen, effectively conveying the sounds and sensations of tracking the 2013 M5. Recorded by MotorSport, the video captures an entire single lap around the track. If you like exhaust burble, you'll love this video.
The F10 M5 records a time of 1:24.89 minutes, stacking it up against some impressive competition:
458 Italia (1:20.16)
Mercedes SLS (1:23.50)
Panamera Turbo S (1:24.55)

Autocar UK places Steve Sutcliffe behind the wheel of the F10 M5 for some BMW hoonage. Sure, a 560hp/501lb-ft torque RWD monster can drift, but the question here is – how far will it drift?
No surprise to anyone, the answer is FAR! According to Sutcliffe, the fast steering system and monster torque make the F10 M5 a cinch to throw around, and it shows in this video.

We previously posted the video of a drifting BMW F10 M5 on a beach in Wales in support of the BMW London 2012 Performance Team. Now see how it was shot, at the direction of the Director, Stephen Blackman, and at the hands of the Driver, Wolfgang Weber.
While US customers are still waiting for the new F10 M5 to hit showroom floors later next year, European tuners have begun to have access to and tinker with the 2013 M5. Germany based tuner PP Performance have posted the first independent dyno runs of the F10 M5.
This F10 M5 put down 444 BHP to the wheels on a MAHA LPS 3000 dyno. This translates to an estimated engine power of 573.7 BHP and 721 NM of torque.
Other tuners such as G-Power have already got their … CONTINUED

Car versus superbike videos are more an exercise in entertainment rather than an actual or technical review/comparison, but they are nonetheless fun!
So for fun, Autoexpress has put the 2012 M5 against the superbike wearing the same badge – the BMW S1000 RR, in a showdown of BMW's fastest factory car against its fastest motorcycle. The 200hp vs 560hp battle takes place on the Cadwell Park Circuit in the UK.
On paper, the results seem to be a foregone conclusion when pitting a superbike capable of 0-60 in … CONTINUED

CCISD trustee Tony Diaz to withdraw from Del Mar College's at-large regent race
CORPUS CHRISTI - CCISD trustee Tony Diaz said Wednesday night he plans to withdraw from the Nov. 6 race for an at-large position on Del Mar College's board of regents.
The 79-year-old, who also filed for re-election to his Corpus Christi Independent School District at-large seat, said he couldn't receive a clear answer from attorneys and education associations as to whether he could run for or serve in both the CCISD and Del Mar positions.
"I think it's just really best if I focus my efforts on the school district," Diaz said.
Del Mar and CCISD officials said their legal counsels were reviewing whether Diaz could run for both offices or serve on both governmental bodies.
CCISD Superintendent Scott Elliff said school board attorney Philip D. Fraissinet is in the process of drafting an opinion related to the matter.
Efforts to reach Fraissinet on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
The Texas Association of School Boards, which represents the state's more than 1,030 school districts, details general guidelines on its website for trustees considering election to two public offices.
The Web page states a school board trustee must essentially pass two "tests" before he or she can "legally hold more than one public office."
The first test would require a school board trustee to adhere to the Texas Constitution and not hold more than one public office that provides some type of compensation. Because school board trustees typically aren't compensated for their positions that test doesn't apply, the website says.
The second test deals with the potential of conflicts between two governing bodies for which a school trustee serves.
The site says the Attorney General has released opinions that list likely conflicts between two governmental bodies as having overlapping geographical boundaries, taxing authorities and existing contracts between the two entities. CCISD and Del Mar share geographical boundaries, taxing authorities as well as enter into contracts with each other.
The deadline for candidates to withdraw from Del Mar races is 12:30 p.m. Friday, college spokeswoman Claudia Jackson said.
Diaz plans to announce his CCISD candidacy at 4:45 p.m. Aug. 31 in the district board room, 801 Leopard St.
Diaz said he wants to continue serving on the CCISD board because he is passionate about ensuring every student graduates high school.
A regent position on Del Mar's board would have allowed him to also promote postsecondary education in the community, he said.
"It's been my passion to see that our kids are educated to their maximum potential," he said.
Diaz, who graduated from Del Mar in 1954, said his withdrawal wouldn't deter he and his wife, Bessie, from continuing to help with scholarship fundraising for the college.
If Diaz withdraws from the at-large race, the remaining candidates would be Herbert Schueneman, Larry Lee White, Ramiro Gambi Gamboa and Sandra Glover Messbarger.
Five of the college's regents represent geographic districts while four serve in at-large positions, college officials said. Regents are unpaid.
The Del Mar College District includes city school districts Calallen, Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff, Tuloso-Midway and West Oso.
Candidates will draw for their place on the ballot at 11:30 a.m. Aug. 28 in the Isensee Board Room on the first floor of the Harvin Student Center, 101 Baldwin Blvd.

Last Updated: 12/10/13 4:32pm
Treviso will run out for Heineken Cup opener
Competition dark horses Montpellier kick-off their Pool campaign at Treviso on Saturday in what is a tricky opening fixture at Stadio Comunale di Monigo.
There are two notable absentees from their starting XV as flank Fulgence Ouedraogo and scrum-half Jonathan Pelissie are on the bench.
Alexandre Bias leads the side while Benoit Paillaugue is the man paired with star Francois Trinh-Duc for the game against the PRO12 side.
Meanwhile, Treviso will be hoping to spring another surprise against a more established team when they take on the French side at home.
After beating Munster at Stadio Comunale di Monigo, Treviso will be confident they can do the same to Montpol, with a strong side set to run out.
Tobias Botes and Luke McLean are at half-back while a back-row of Robert Barbieri, Alessandro Zanni and Simone Favaro will cause damage behind Marco Fuser and Antonio Pavanello.
Treviso: 15 Brendan Williams, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Luca Morisi, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Michele Campagnaro, 10 Luke McLean, 9 Tobias Botes; 1 Michele Rizzo, 2 Enrico Ceccato, 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 4 Antonio Pavanello (c), 5 Marco Fuser, 6 Simone Favaro, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 8 Robert Barbieri.

Jenny McCarthy
Jenny McCarthy ended a long term relationship with Jim Carrey and announced to their fans via Twitter. Jenny McCarthy is involved in several charities. Jenny McCarthy has been pictured wearing Jim's clothes, and vice versa.
Last year she was unceremoniously dismissed from her co-host chair at "The View," and now Jenny McCarthy has revealed that the honchos thought better of their hasty decision.
During her interview on "The Howard Stern Show," the former "Singled Out" starlet declared, "One of the producers called and said would I ever consider it? And I said, 'No, thank you.' Because I couldn't be me. I think they might try one more year and then I think the Titanic might go down."
Despite the fact that marriage and reality TV don't necessarily work that well together, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy are giving it a go anyway.
The former "View" star and her New Kids On The Block singer hubby just signed a deal with the A&E Network for a 10-episode series called "Donnie Loves Jenny."
She's never been a bashful babe and when Jenny McCarthy was asked about married sex with Donnie Wahlberg she couldn't help but gush.
During her interview on "Watch What Happens Live," the "Singled Out" star blurted out, "Without a doubt it gets better every single time I make love to him. First of all, he has the most beautiful penis I have ever seen in my life. Sometimes they are deformed looking… Sometimes they are a different color that you aren't used to. Some are like purple. Some are pink."
As if there weren't already enough famous victims of a naked picture leak, Jenny McCarthy is featured in a new round of naughty snapshots on Reddit and 4Chan websites.
According to a source that has seen the images, they were taken before the "Singled Out" hottie began dating her now-husband Donnie Wahlberg.
Enjoying a leisurely evening, Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg attended the Canon PIXMA PRO City Senses Gallery in Boston on Wednesday night (September 17).
The newlyweds were all smiles as they mingled with fellow guests and checked out the various exhibits while shutterbugs snapped up pics.
They're clearly enjoying life as husband and wife and Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg just gave fans their first selfie as spouses.
The 41-year-old "View" vixen looks blissful next to her 45-year-old NKOTB hunk following their wonderful wedding at Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois over the weekend.
In addition to the Labor Day holiday, this past weekend was extra-special for Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg as they just got hitched on Sunday (August 31).
According to a report, the New Kids on the Block singer and his "Singled Out" bride said "I Do" at the historic Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois (near McCarthy's hometown Chicago) in front of guests that included Sherri Shepard, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Donny Wood.
They can't seem to get enough of each other and on Sunday (August 17) Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg were pretty handsy at LAX International Airport.
The "Singled Out" starlet and her New Kids on the Block fiancé couldn't keep their hands to themselves as they waited to board an outbound flight and they didn't seem to mind all the attention they were getting.
She's no stranger to stirring the pot, but when Jenny McCarthy implied that Hillary Clinton has dabbled in lesbianism, she went too far.
During the July 22nd episode of "The View," the "Singled Out" starlet blurted out, "Well, maybe [President Bill Clinton] has his girlfriends, and she has her girlfriends. You never know. Maybe they have an arrangement."
It's been a month of ups and downs for Jenny McCarthy, and it looks like she's landed on her feet with a brand new broadcasting job.
The "Singled Out" starlet, who either left or was fired from her position on 'The View,' has announced that she'll host "Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy," an upcoming weekly radio show on SiriusXM.

Apple to announce Q3 2012 earnings on July 24
Apple has announced that it will report its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2012 on Tuesday, June 24. The release will be followed by the usual conference call to discuss the financial results, which will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. iLounge will be providing coverage of the call. The call will likely discuss full-quarter sales of the third-generation iPad and third-generation Apple TV, early sales of Apple's new MacBook lineup, and could possibly offer insight into Apple's product plans for the rest of the year.

Wonderful works of art secreted away by the Nazis as "degenerate" keep turning up "like bottles washed ashore," writes Micheal Kimmelman for The New York Times this morning, reporting on the latest trove of works discovered and unveiled in Augsburg, Germany, Tuesday.
About 1,500 pictures, a particularly large stash, were discovered in the Munich apartment of an old man whose father was a dealer in the Nazi era. From the initial reports and some blurry online reproductions, the collection appears to include works by Matisse, Courbet, Franz Marc, Max Liebermann, Marc Chagall, Max Beckmann and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Notable Professors[edit]
Eliminated "Notable Professors" section which was over-the-top selective promotion of individual faculty, and not an accurate reflection of the overall quality of faculty. Other wikipedia entries for respectable liberal arts colleges do not have such a section. --Ignat 17:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure that this is acceptable, it wasn't necessarily pov and I don't think discussion of the issue of this issue on the talk page prior to your changes, you are free to edit, but wholesale removal is too extreme. Your removal of the picture of the fountain was also extremely questionable. I am reverting your edits. Especially seeing as how you do not have an existing registered username. Making slighter modifications made in the order to remove pov parts of the article after discussion on the talk page is a better way of editing this page. Also, the fact that "Other wikipedia entries for respectable liberal arts colleges do not have such a section" is not a reasonable basis for such massive edits.Asedzie 17:38, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
-I agree with Asedzie here. What is wrong with presenting true information? To the extent Oxy has stars, it's legitimate to point this out, and more to the point is *useful* to those who might wish to know something about the school. The real issue is whether the information presented was untrue, or the manner in which this was presented was NPOV...the mere presentation of information (despite the approach of our anonymous user-vandal) isn't POV as opposed to non-presentation. If other college's pages don't include this information, the solution isn't to cut the Oxy page, but to expand the others.
Timothy Usher (tried to sign the recommended way, but tildes remained tildes)
I am trying to find some reasonable way to say that this college is one of the more well-known colleges in the country, but people keep editing these parts out. First there was "higly-competitive" then "commonly ranked as one of the top colleges in the country", I will now put "highly selective", but does anyone see this as still too pov? How does it compare to other similar colleges?`I think this is a reasonable detail to have about the college in an encyclopedia, after all people who are not familiar with the school should be able to get an idea of the school's general reputation from this page. Any ideas?Asedzie 17:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Kathy Augustine[edit]
I have re-added Kathy Augustine to the "Notable Oxy Alumni" list following the unexplained deletion of her name by User:Ignat. According to one of the sources I used to create the article on her, she is a graduate of Occidental College. --TommyBoy 19:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I think we should put back a lot of the Alumni unecessarily deleted by User:Ignat.Asedzie 03:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I replaced a few of the names. I mean, who is User:Ignat to say that these people aren't notable? After all, they have wikipedia entries, they must be important to somebody.Asedzie 03:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
What makes someone notable? Are there standards, or is someone notable if some wikipedia contributor thinks they are notable? What's the standard for someone being non-notable? Is someone non-notable if some wikipedia author thinks they are not notable? Unless we can resolve this, then it seems that individual wikipedia contributors should be able to make both notable and non-notable judgments and edit accordingly.
By the way, the rhetorical "Who is x to say that ..." has no argumentative force with me, since matters of contribution to this or other wikipedia entries are not judged on the basis of credentials or other forms of authority, but by collectively developed reasoned standards of correctness and appropriateness. --Ignat 16:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Further Thoughts: Reading beyond the "who is to say" rhetorical device, Asedzie argues that if someone has a wikipedia entry, then they are notable, and if they are notable for wikipedia generally, then they are notable alums.(Is having a wikipedia entry also a necessary condition for listing among the notable Oxy alums? If so, several names will need to be eliminated.) First, someone may have a wikipedia entry and may still not be notable. Even if they meet these standards, they may not be notable in the context of the Occidental College article. So I guess I'm conceding that the issue is somewhat complex, and I'm all for resolving it. My general worry is remains (and I brought this up with the "notable professors" section a while back) that these lists are not balanced and just reflect the interests of those who contribute. --Ignat 18:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Although I am actually becoming more and more indifferent about the direction of this page everyday, I have one simple policy regarding the Alum section. If I hear about someone considered famous or newsworthy on the news or in the paper, or if I read about them on wikipedia I add their name to the list. It has nothing to do with my "intrests" as you so obliquely state. It is just what I do for every page that I work on. I'm sure the majority of other users do it the same way. As for the "who is x to say" rhetorical turn, which "collectively developed reasoned standards of correctness and appropriateness" are you using to remove names. It seems to me that you are presuming that you have some authority or ultimate objective viewpoint when you take out indidividuals that you don't deem noteworthy. You need to try to practice what you preach. But this is beating the issue to death. I've already discussed this with you on other issues, I admire your persistence, but I question your motives in constantly changing the page. What is your endgoal in editing the page? What kind of information would you like it to contain? These are important questions for you to answer so that we can understand what kind of point of view you are bringing to editing in general, as well as the page specifically. Asedzie 3:46, 01 August 2006 (UTC)
I think I've said this before, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself. I think a good article on Occidental or anything else is one that doesn't reveal the particular interests and background of the authors. If someone were commissioned to write an article about Occidental for, say, a college guide, and one wanted to include something about notable alums, one would have to do some research. It wouldn't be o.k. to just include the things one came across in casual reading. That's because one's casual reading may be selective and not comprehensive. If my main interest is folk-rock of the early 60s, my famous alum list may be a bit skewed. A good editor will help with things like this. If Wikipedia is just about adding facts to a heap of facts, it really isn't going to result in helpful and informative information. So I guess the problem is that my standards are too high. If no one can make editorial judgments, if it's o.k. to add but never to remove, then let's just pile on the facts. --Ignat 18:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed alums w/o articles from the list. This doesn't, however, mean that everyone with an article is notable. MrVibrating (talk) 07:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Edit Links[edit]
Is it just me or are all of the "[edit]" links on the page bunched up under the "Free Speech and Civil Rights" section? Hopefully someone can fix (or explain) this. N1000 17:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
What browser are you using? I find this sometimes happens with Firefox. To fix it, just change the font size using ctrl + or ctrl - --Ignat 03:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
As wikipedia's standards for citing sources get ever tighter, articles like this become problematic because there are no sources proffered to establish that all these alums actually went to Occidental.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 17:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Removed your tag for several reasons. First, this is one of thousands of college articles with this problem. Why single it out for a tag that references are needed? If you want to do this you will have to put tags on every college article that doesn't individually cite every alumnus - Oberlin, Macalester, Middlebury, Humboldt State, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, etc., etc., etc.. Second, every one of the biographies for those people has Occidental listed as the person's college. There's another 50 or so articles you will either have to tag or do research for sources and cite. If you are up to the task of finding all of the citations for these people that went to these colleges and citing it in their bios, go for it, I applaud you. Otherwise, I don't think you should tag only one article with the references tag to show that all colleges need to have their alumni properly cited from now on. But I'd have to say that I agree that this will be a problem for every single one of these articles in the future.Cinxin 14:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Complete Overhaul[edit]
Occidental's page is pretty weak compared to other colleges of its size and stature. It could definitely use more picture and more information about its history and buildings. Is there any way to do this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jkfp2004 (talk • contribs) 23:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
- I did as best I could to expand this article. Hope it's alright. Notecardforfree 23:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Just started working on this overhaul. Main issue now is fixing broken links. Would appreciate help! :) Retrospector87 (talk) 21:38, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
What is the Latin name of the school? Because "Occidental" by itself only means Western, not "heart". Second, I am curious how diverse the school's offerings are - I attend the School of Oriental and African Studies which is quite intentionally *not* a school of Occidental (Western) studies. Does Oxy cover Eastern topics? LordAmeth 12:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- You are quite right about Occidental's Latin name. I was misinformed when I wrote the introduction and have since corrected the error. The school offers a wide range of studies, both of the west and of the east. One of the school's goals is to create a cross-cultural awareness and perspective for its students. Incidentally, the school's motto is "Occident Proximus Orient." Hope that was of some help. Notecardforfree 19:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was just curious. ^_^ LordAmeth 22:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- But what is the Latin name? And what does "West of the Now" mean?220.127.116.11 (talk) 04:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- That motto, Occidens Proximus Orienti means "The West is nearest the East", according to their website. And because the article makes a claim about a Latin name with nothing to back it up, I zapped it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 04:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Added the "Peacock" tag...[edit]
This article suffers from promotionalism -- it reads like a brochure from beginning to end. See the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_peacock_terms for what to avoid and how to avoid it.
Also, it seems to contain somewhat trivial, nonencyclopediac information, such as the detailed description of the curriculum -- there's nothing particularly noteworthy I see in that. Ex0pos (talk) 23:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Debate over Obama's Alumni status[edit]
It has been asserted that Obama is not an alumni of Occidental. That is simply not true--numerous sources acknowledge his alumni status at Occidental, chief among them the Los Angeles Times, one of the nation's most respected newspapers.
Purplebackpack89 (talk) 05:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Obama's status as an alumnus depends entirely on the definition of alumnus that is used. In a strict traditional definition Obama is not an alumnus since he did not graduate. The definition has expanded in modern times and now includes non graduates so Obama should stay (see Wikipedia article on alumni). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Obama in the opener[edit]
Why do people keep deleting it? I, for one, feel that it's important enough to be in the opener, which is meant to be a summary of the entire article, INCLUDING topics covered in other sections. Comments? Purplebackpack89 (talk) 21:44, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Keep Obama in the front summary. He's the most noteworthy figure to have attended Occidental. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
This does not belong in the intro. See other schools' pages for standard operating procedure (the Andover and Yale intros, for example, do not mention Bush).WildlifeAnalysis (talk) 18:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Rankings and reputation[edit]
I find it difficult to classify a college that is ranked 33rd and 86th respectively in two polls as being one of the "top" colleges. There have obviously been several notable people that have attended, but this school didn't even make the Top 20 in a poll of only Liberal Arts colleges in the United States, and 88th overall? That isn't exactly "exclusive", and this needs to be reworded. SeanNovack (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- It's in the top 100. ;) But we should avoid academic boosterism. See Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines for suggestions on how articles like this should look. Will Beback talk 20:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- In examining the article more closely it really did appear to be written by the recruiting department for the school. I have removed some of the more flowery rhetoric and corrected the poll to state that it is tied for 36th place on the Liberal Arts College list, instead of "33rd". I'll take look at it when I have more leisure and try to even everything out. Thanks! SeanNovack (talk) 20:58, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Sexual misconduct controversy[edit]
Two Wikipedia editors - ElKevbo and EB423 - are adding contentious and unbalanced material at this entry regarding handling of sexual misconduct issues at Occidental College. It appears that they are using Wikipedia to actively debate these issues. They have been non-responsive to efforts to talk about the issue of neutrality and balance in this article, and simply add back material to this entry that has been deleted for lack of neutrality and balance. Their initial entries were not deleted by this editor nor has their emphasis on concerns about handling of sexual misconduct been changed. Neutrality was re-established by the addition of information on how Occidental has made changes in policies and procedures to respond to the concerns about this issue. Then these editors have added copious further contentious material once again unbalancing the article. Their entries are not neutral, and the references are questionable. This argumentation has created an inappropriate emphasis on recent and controversial events that is out of proportion to the span of history covered in an article about a 126-year-old institution.
These same two editors have applied a similar process to the biography of Occidental President Jonathan Veitch, violating the three core Wikipedia policies for biographies of living persons. When neutrality is restored, they simply add back their unbalanced material.
Perhaps the solution is to remove the entries for Occidental College and its president from Wikipedia completely, and start over with neutral and proportional information on the college and its president.

Globalglo (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:13, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm not directly involved in these edits, but I don't agree that having a fair amount of material related to the college's handling of sexual assaults in 'unbalanced'. People are more interested in recent events than in history, for the most part. In a Google search for 'Occidental College' (not news, just the name of the college) 11 of the first 50 results related to sexual assault issues. Less than 20% of the article is about sexual assault so I'd say we're in balance. Similarlyy re. Mr Veitch. ChengduTeacher (talk) 11:15, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've pared it down a little, and retitled the section. It seems undue relative to the rest of the history section; there is more about the sexual assault controversy than there is about Oxy's history from 1960 to 2013. It also goes into detail inappropriate for this type of article. If more detailed coverage is desired, it should be split into a separate article rather than crowding out this one pbp 16:33, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Occidental was one of the first US colleges to be publicly engaged in controversies over sexual assault. At that time, the controversy at Occidental was relatively unique, and perhaps deserved considerable space on the College's Wikipedia page. Now, many US institutions of higher learning are the subject of such controversies, and most of them (e.g. University of Virginia) have nothing about this on their Wikipedia pages. The debate has moved into the mainstream media and public policy, and such a contentious current debate has no place on the Wikipedia pages of individual institutions. It is simply an invitation to what has happened on this Wikipedia page, with arguments back and forth, additions, deletions, ad infinitum. One of the contributors is actually using Occidental's Wikipedia page to call, by name, for the firing of a specific sitting administrator, which is extremely inappropriate. Wikipedia has flagged this page as unbalanced and argumentative.
A web search of Occidental College now lists zero items on sexual assault among the first 10 items that come up. To address the flag placed on this Wikipedia article, I propose to eliminate this entire section on sexual assault controversies. This will be done in one week if no one presents a persuasive argument as to why Occidental should be singled out when virtually every higher education institution in the US is now the subject of controversy about sexual assault. Globalglo (talk) 22:58, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- My Web search on Google shows result number 8 as "Inside the Sexual Assault War at Occidental College". In results 11-20 I see: "Sexual Assault Injustice at Occidental", "Occidental College Sexual Assault Response Subject of Federal Complaints", "College Shelved More Sexual Assault Reports - Los Angeles Times", and "Occidental Sexual Assault - Business Insider". Do I really have to go on?
- There are over 5,000 universities in the US, but only about 50 under active investigation by the Federal Office of Civil Rights for Title 9 violations relative to sexual assault. So your argument above is not supported by the facts.ChengduTeacher (talk) 08:53, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'll be keeping a close eye on this page in future. These repeated wholesale deletions don't smell right to me. I'd like to ask GlobalGlo: do you have any significant connection to Occidental College (alumnus, staff, PR rep...)? For the record, I don't.ChengduTeacher (talk) 10:00, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I recently purchased this digital camera. I was a fan of regular photography, but I was disillusioned by the cost of film and developing. With digital photography, take pictures all day, and see if they're worth developing or make small changes to contrast or brightness. Since getting my digital camera, free time is spent either with my camera in hand, or using Adobe Photoshop.

Lionsgate Acquires Rights to Amor Towles's Best-Selling Novel, RULES OF CIVILITY
As Deadline New York reported today, Lionsgate has officially landed the rights to Amor Towles' best-selling novel, RULES OF CIVILITY. No release date or casting has been announced.
Lionsgate began vying for the rights to the novel, originally published in 2011, this spring.
RULES Of CIVILITY presents the story of a young woman whose life is on the brink of transformation. On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society—where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve. With its sparkling depiction of New York's social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.
"There is a universality to this story of a woman trying to better her station in life, and it's one you would find in anything from The King's Speech, Silver Linings Playbook or Saturday Night Fever," Feig said to Deadline. "These are themes that, if Charles Dickens came back, he would understand."
BroadwayWorld will keep you updated on the beloved novel's transformation to film as details arise!

The place is big enough and convenient. Many good restaurants there. I bought Tantanmen at one of the restaurant. I forget the name of the restaurant but it starts with "Iro...". But be careful, this tantanmen is spicy.

We had a great time here. Beautiful rooms and landscape. Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak are right in your backyard. Brett spoiled us with great service and good food. We'd love to come back again.

This review is long overdue we stayed here in Sept 2014 and I am still thinking about this place. The breakfast was amazing and still has my mouth watering. The house was beautiful and welcoming just like the staff. The room we stayed in had access to the back patio and double headed shower we consider this nice touches to our stay. When searching for a place to stay I recommend you stop looking here and book the reservation you wont regret it.
Innkeeper Response
We are so thankful you enjoyed your stay in the L'Abris Room at Rockledge Country Inn. Red Crags Estates continuously strives to achieve just such response. Thank you!

LOL!... Yeah it wasn't the "Waffles" LOL, and it wasn't the "Pancakes" LOL! Oh but Bretts "French Toast" that was worth kicking my "husband" to the curb for! Well that and the motorcycle rides from the fine young man working at Mister money. LOL!
Innkeeper Response
Our goal is to ensure you do not need lunch after our breakfasts! French Toast with extra vanilla and pure maple syrup...one of my favorites! Thank you for your complimentary message and we look forward to serving you again very soon!

My son and I stayed at the Onaledge on Sunday, September 21. The house was beautiful and we enjoyed learning about it's history and it's "permanent" guests. Brett was great, so friendly and helpful....and he makes an awesome french toast. I would definately stay there again and next time I'll bring my husband to share the romantic views with me.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for these encouraging words. "Casper and friends" definitely enjoy having guests visit our Bed & Breakfast at Historic Onaledge. Looking for that paranormal visit, seeking love and romance or the historical aspects? We look forward to hosting your visit at Red Crags Estates.

We just had our wedding at the Red Crags estate. I can honestly say that it was an amazing experience. There are so many reasons I would recomend this to anyone wanting a venue for a wedding, anniversary or even just a relaxing getaway. Not only is Pikes Peak a fantastic backdrop for a ceremony, all of the grounds here are enchantingly beautiful and make for some great wedding photos. Before deciding on the Spindletop suite, we were able to see many of the rooms they have here and we believe any of them would have made our wedding night unique. Plus, Brett, Susan and all of the staff were extremely accomadating to our needs even a couple of the last minute changes we needed to make. Thank you all so very much. We will see for our anniversary.

We had our wedding at Rockledge Inn at the Red Crags Estates. It was fantastic! Not only were the Bed and Breakfast and the mountain views beautiful, but we were able to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, brunch AND stay in the most beautiful room I've ever seen (Spindletop) at the same location! The whole staff is FANTASTIC! They are all knowledgeable, kind, fun and extremely helpful. The breakfast is also amazing! Thank all of you for your hard work and the most perfect wedding :)
Innkeeper Response
Thank so much for the invigorating words....we will continue to strive for the happiness of our guests. You were a joy to work with and offer our prayers for a wonderful life together!

We just returned home (unfortunately), after a long weekend at the Rockledge Country Inn. Both of us travel frequently for our jobs and are never "wow'ed" by hotels so we decided to try a B&B. The second we drove up the winding driveway, we fell in love with Rockledge! Everything was absolutely incredible-Rick, the owner, made us feel like we were the only couple on property. The rooms were lovely, quaint, and very comfortable, and took us back in time, bringing back memories of going to Grandma's house. We cannot recommend this property enough and are already counting the days until we can come back! There are very few places we have been where we truly did not want to go home. This was one of them! Thank you, Rick, and team, for giving us a wonderful weekend!
Innkeeper Response
We are so thankful for your kind words! Our efforts are to ensure all enjoy Red Crags Estates in the same manner. Your compliments are energizing!

My husband I stayed 5 nights. Our room was lovely with a view of Pikes Peak. The breakfasts were delicious and we loved sitting with the other guests and getting to know them. Brett made an appearance each morning at breakfast to ask about our rest the night before and to see if we needed anything. It was quiet, deer were everywhere, and we could not have been more comfortable. We stayed in the Red Crags Room and the only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that getting in and out of the claw foot bathtub could be precarious. If you're someone who is not very limber you would probably want to make sure you got a room with a regular tub or shower. We will definitely stay here again.
Innkeeper Response
These historic homes were created to enjoy the best of the Pikes Peak Region and we are elated that your stay met your desires for a true getaway. The tub is deep and relaxing, true, but your information is well taken. We will seek a manner to improve that is in keeping with our historic atmosphere. Thank you for these wonderful thoughts!

We stayed at the Red Crags Inn for three nights and could not have been more pleased. The house, property and two adjoining properties (also B&B's) had the perfect environment for which we were looking. Our room and bath were spacious, clean & comfortable. The grounds throughout the three properties were spectacular with trails, sitting areas, water features and views, views and more views! Though Pikes Peak was clearly visible from each property, the best views had to be from the Red Crags Inn. Breakfast each morning was awesome and served outside on the beautiful patio area. We enjoyed our relaxing meal with guests from all three properties. It was great getting to meet and visit with everyone. The innkeepers, Maureen and Brett, were two of the most outstanding, friendly and accommodating hosts we have ever experienced. Great accommodations, grounds, food and hosts…what more could you ask for?! Thanks so much and we will be back!
Innkeeper Response
Not much to say other than thank you so much for your kind words. We seek this satisfaction for all of our guests. Thank you for letting us know we are succeeding!
4.6 on May 24, 2012
I recently stayed at The Rockledge Inn for only one night, but wished we could have stayed longer. We had the whole place to ourselves. It felt like we had rented a house for the night. Romantic corner room with great views(although it rained all day and night). I would highly recommend staying here.
Innkeeper Response
We try to explain to our guests seeking reservations that you will find yourself so much happier if you are able to extend your stay to two or three nights, but do not want to hard sell. Thank you for establishing this by your kind words.

Gear Review
the glove for cold fingers!
These are just awesome, I tend to freeze a lot and these were wonderful. They fit really perfect, perfect to wear under another pair giving you that extra airspace and the wool i superb with the thinsulate extra thing in them, remember wool detergent. They are not to be worn alone, but underneath another pair. Used them while away skiing and they were perfect for cold weather.
