President's Message
Dear Purchase College Community,
The College is committed to providing a learning environment which is healthy and productive and which supports the intellectual, aesthetic, physical and social development of individual students. In compliance with the Federal Drug Free School and Communities Act of 1989, this brochure sets forth the policies and standards of conduct which will be assigned for violation of these policies, but it also provides information concerning the availability of counseling and treatment possibilities for those in difficulty. I am asking for your help and cooperation. I hope you will read this booklet, abide by the regulations, and join me in my commitments to creating a productive, drug-free learning and living environment.
Thomas Schwarz,
Purchase College is committed to developing and maintaining the health, stability, and well being of the collegiate learning environment. The College considers possession, use, sale, and/or other distribution of illegal drugs to be detrimental to the individual student and to the educational process. In addition, the College considers underage use and/or possession of alcohol and supplying/selling alcohol to those under the legal drinking age to be detrimental to the individual student and to the educational process.
1. The use of illegal drugs is a threat to the health of the
individual and also interferes with the efficient pursuit of individual educational goals.
2. The presence of illegal drugs is detrimental to the entire educational community. Their presence interferes with the educational, developmental and creative process.
3. Possession, use, sale or other distribution of illegal drugs violates federal, state, and local laws. The College expects adherence to these laws. No special exemption from civil or criminal law exists for members of a college community.
4. Underage possession/use of alcohol, and sale or other distribution of alcohol to those under the legal drinking age violates federal, state, and local laws. The College expects adherence to these laws. No special exemption from civil or criminal law exists for members of a college community.
Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy
New York State Prohibits on-the-job use or impairment from alcohol and controlled substances. An employee may be required to undergo medical testing if a supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that he or she is unable to perform duties due to the use of drugs or alcohol.
The unlawful use, possession, dispensing, manufacturing or distribution of controlled substances in all College work locations is prohibited. Employees who unlawfully use, possess, dispense, manufacture, or distribute controlled substances will be subject to disciplinary procedures consistent with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and collective bargaining agreements. Employees must notify the College's Personnel Office of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace, or at a work site, no later than five (5) working days after such conviction.
If the cause of the work impairment is found to be drug or alcohol related, the Director of Human Resources in conjunction with the employee's supervisor, may refer the employee to voluntary and confidential participation in the statewide Employee Assistance Program. Other available options include pursuing disciplinary leave procedures or other disciplinary measures.
Violations of the State policy on alcohol and other substance abuse in the workplace may constitute grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to Section 75 of the Civil service Law or the Disciplinary Articles of collectively negotiated agreements.
Congress passed the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. The following is the Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy for employees and students at Purchase College. The term "controlled substances" as used herein refers to the hundreds of chemicals listed by the federal government in the Controlled Substance Act.
No person shall possess, use, sell, or in any other way distribute narcotics, hallucinogens or controlled substances.
The use, sale, or possession of any drug paraphernalia, including but not limited to water pipes, bongs, and hypodermic syringes/needles not prescribed by a licensed physician will be subject to confiscation and disciplinary action.
Alcohol Policy
No person shall possess, sell, or give away alcoholic beverages without proper authorization in any building or on any property owned or controlled by Purchase College. Alcohol is permitted in students' rooms within some residence halls and apartments if at least one resident of the room is over the legal drinking age, provided that no person under the age of 21 possesses or consumes said alcoholic beverages. Open containers may not be possessed anywhere on campus outside of individual residences unless so authorized in accordance with College regulations, local ordinances, and State law. Kegs and beer balls are not permitted in the residence areas and will be confiscated. The College holds persons responsible for their conduct at all times, including behaviors which occur under the influence of alcohol, and persons violating these policies will be subject to disciplinary action.
1. University Police Officers are authorized to arrest violators of alcohol and/or drug laws. If conditions warrant, the College may ask assistance of other law enforcement or investigative agencies. These agencies also have the legal right to operate on the campus without consulting the College. The College cannot and will not shield violators of alcohol and/or drug laws from law enforcement agencies.
2. Violations of these policies will result in disciplinary and/or administrative action, as well as criminal prosecution whenever feasible. Campus disciplinary action will be taken through the appropriate administrative discipline processes for employees and for students. Consequences may include termination or dismissal.
3. The College provides confidential counseling, educational programs, and other services for students seeking assistance related to the use of alcohol or illegal drugs.
Penalties for Drug Possession and Sale

For unlawful possession of a controlled substance, a person is subject to one year of imprisonment and fines up to $5,000. Any person who unlawfully distributes a controlled substance to a person under 21 years of age may be punished by up to twice the term of imprisonment and fine otherwise authorized by law.

New York State Penalties
The State of New York has established severe sanctions for the possession, use, and sale of controlled substances which are consistent with Federal penalties established for such. The specific criminal sanctions are delineated in the New York State Penal Law. The severity of the offense depends on the type and the quantity of the illegal substance, as well as the holder's intent (personal use, distribution or sale). For example, in New York State, the criminal possession of four or more ounces of cocaine is a class A-1 felony, punishable by a minimum of 15-25 years and a maximum of life in prison, and a maximum $100,000 fine. Unlawful possession of a small quantity of marijuana is a violation, resulting in a fine of not more than $100 for the first offense. Additional violations result in larger fines and the imposition of misdemeanor criminal charges, which include the establishment of a permanent record.
Health Risks
The use of illegal drugs, tobacco, and the abuse of alcohol may have serious health consequences, including damage of the heart, lungs and other organs. Alcohol-related accidents are the number one cause of death for persons aged 15-24. The most significant health risk, besides death, is addiction. Chemical dependency is a disease that, if not arrested, is fatal. No addict (including alcoholics and smokers) ever thought he/she would become addicted.
About Alcohol
In addition to the immediate dangers from drinking at a single event, there are dangers from patterns of drinking. Some people drink for unhealthy reasons and it can cause negative consequences in their lives. They are alcohol abusers, or problem drinkers. For others (as many as 13% of college males and 5% of college females), the drinking has progressed even further, to alcoholism. Alcoholics cannot live without alcohol and cannot control its use.
The following are warning signals that may indicate a problem in your drinking pattern:
Why is alcohol considered a dangerous drug?
The consumption of alcohol is considered by some experts to be the leading cause of death in the U.S. Today.
Alcohol is a drug that significantly affects all body systems, contributing to the incidence of cancer, heart disease, liver disease, digestive disorders, and brain dysfunction. In fact, its contributions to these problems is greater than that of any other known legal or illegal drug.
Alcohol impairs judgment in very specific ways: it may make on "feel" as if he or she is doing better than he or she is. You feel more attractive, wittier, and more in control of the situation – thus, the temptation to take extraordinary risks. The awareness of being impaired is reduced!

This tidbit is actually five days old but it's a great nugget, so I'm blogging it now. In the May 17th edition of TV Guide Magazine's Ask Matt column, a reader asks Matt Roush to address what she perceives as two glaring flaws in The Vampire Diaries: the "lack of kick-ass women" (she specifies that while many of the main female characters are strong emotionally, she wishes they were more physical, "ala Buffy"), and the glossing over of slavery and other social issues in the 1864 flashbacks.
I never expected the show to delve deeply into issues of race and sexuality as True Blood does so well, but it would be nice if the show at least acknowledged that there were other things going on besides vampire vs. human Mystic Falls conflicts.
Here's part of Roush's response:
I'm afraid I don't take the show seriously enough to lament its lack of social/historical context. Where would they fit a lecture on the evils of slavery in a show churning this much juicy melodrama this busily? I suppose it would be interesting if some of the vampire revolt had to do with seeking vengeance against the mores and masters of the antebellum past, but it's intriguing to me that characters like Bonnie and her grandmother (and their ancestors) nurture a supernatural power that seems to render them pretty "kick-ass."
Both of these topics have come up in our forums before, but on the heels of the season finale (oh, hey, Uncle John – you need an ice pack for that?) I thought I could bring it up in the blog. I have my own thoughts on both points (for starters, the idea that a "kick-ass woman" must be defined by her physical bravery, no matter how smart, savvy, or emotionally well-adjusted she is), but I'll turn it over to you guys. Have your own thoughts on both issues? Agree/disagree with Roush's reply?

Nina Dobrev has been confirmed as the first member of the Vampire Diaries team to be attending the Insurgence: Bloodlines convention in the UK. The con takes place on the 19-21 March and is for the Vampire Diaries along with two more of the CW's shows, Supernatural and Smallville. No news yet on other members of the cast and crew attending, but we'll post as soon as we hear anything.
Most of us had already worked out that this was a given due to threads in the story that need tying up, but we've got official information now. Fancast have heard from Julie Plec that [spoiler]Bianca Lawson will be returning as Emily Bennett in flashbacks[/spoiler] during episode 13, "Children of the Damned". The episode in question will be airing on February 4.
Thanks to Max for getting in touch to update us on the Vampire Diaries airing in Germany. We've previously mentioned that the series premieres in Germany on January 20 on the ProSieben channel, but we've been told that Austria and Switzerland also get the ProSieben channel and will be getting the series at the same time as Germany. As we understand it, the series has been dubbed into German, and if you're curious about what Elena, Stefan and Damon sound like, you can watch a trailer for it below.
And finally, a book curiosity. We have no idea what it's about, but it certainly piqued our interest. @Guinevere09 was poking around on the Harper Teen website and found… 'Stefan's Diaries'. Given that Stefan doesn't keep diaries in the books (though you never know, he might have one hidden in his sock drawer), we're wondering if this is possibly some kind of TV series tie-in. Whatever it's about, it's due for release at the end of June and we'll certainly be keeping an eye on it.

The deal provides that Iran supply Pakistan with 750m cubic feet of gas per day Photo: BBC
In reaction to the countries growing energy requirements that have caused severe electricity shortages, Pakistan has now signed a $7.6 billion natural gas pipeline deal with Iran.
The deal between the two countries was reached in Turkey on Tuesday. Initially, the pipeline was intended to supply natural gas to India, but officials in Delhi withdrew from negotiations over the deal last year.
Pakistani Petroleum and Natural Resources Minister Naveed Qmar described the signing of the deal as a "milestone towards meeting energy needs of the country".
After being delayed, the deal finally went through as Pakistani officials finally secured the funding. The pipeline will connect Iran's South Fars gas field with Pakistan's Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
According to the details of the deal, by 2015 Iran will provide 750m cubic feet of gas per day to Pakistan. And each country is responsible for building the portion of the pipeline that runs through its territory.
Labeled the "peace pipeline," the project was first proposed in the 1990's and originally would have extended from Pakistan to India.
Reports asserted that Delhi pulled out of the deal due to its distrust of Pakistan, with which it has fought three wars since independence in 1947. To meet its ever increasing energy demands, India has turned to investing in civilian nuclear reactors, as well as a landmark civilian nuclear energy deal with the US it signed in 2008.
Pakistan has argued that the US should also make such a deal with them as well, though to this point US officials have shown very little interest, no doubt due to the fear that Pakistan may be unable to protect such material from getting into the hands of terrorists.
Analysts say that the US may be hostile to the agreement due to its conflict with Iran over the countries alleged nuclear weapons program, which Tehran has vehemently denied.
What is astounding here is the inability of the US, the most powerful country in the world, to contain and pressure Iran. Tehran has been busy making deals with Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Pakistan, all the while blatantly refusing to comply with international atomic standards.
The United States must indeed find a way to deal with Iran, for the small Middle Eastern country is making a mockery of the US and possibly starting a precedent that will haunt the West for sometime to come.

Colorado's newly legal recreational marijuana industry is creating quite a buzz – particularly when it comes to visions of a new tax revenue stream for cash-strapped states. With the Centennial State's successful rollout, it seemed certain that others, in addition to Washington state, would follow.
But, there are major headwinds that may keep the budding industry from spreading across the nation – one of which is that state governors are coming out against recreational pot, despite its revenue-producing potential.
Too risky?
Shortly after Colorado's new law took effect on January 1, governors of other states began weighing in on the subject. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley stated in a radio interview several weeks ago that he is "not much in favor of" legalizing pot for recreational use, citing concerns about drug abuse.
Similarly, New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan has said she would veto any bill making marijuana legal for that purpose, although she approved a bill making medical use legal last year. Also speaking out in early January was Alabama's Gov. Robert Bentley, who is against making pot legal for any purpose – even medicinal.
Just last weekend, as the National Governors Association met in Washington, D.C., the governors of Texas, Connecticut, Indiana, and Missouri all stated on CNN's State of the Union broadcast that they have no interest in legalizing pot for adult use, either.
Even Colorado's Gov. John Hickenlooper, when queried by several of his peers at the NGA, counseled against legalization, telling them to "...wait a couple of years."
Financial headaches remain, as well
For a burgeoning business that promises to bring Colorado at least $51 million in extra tax revenue by the end of June, it certainly seems to be gaining in unpopularity. The industry's inability to convince banks to allow pot-related business deposits and accounts doesn't seem to be abating, either.
Just recently, the federal government attempted to break down the financial barricades by issuing guidelines designed to make banks feel more at ease with the legal cannabis trade, though the overture seems to have fallen flat. Even before Colorado's new marijuana law took effect, Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), which has for several years been Washington state's official banker, noted that it would not balk at handling money generated from the state's soon-to-be-legal adult use marijuana industry. So far, other banks haven't been quite so forthcoming.
Likewise, after prohibiting the use of their cards for transactions involving medical marijuana in parts of California last fall, both Visa (NYSE:V) and MasterCard Inc. (NYSE:MA) now seem to have softened their stance, allowing partner banks to decide on whether or not they want to handle the transactions. While this may work swimmingly with cards issued by Bank of America, this policy could become problematic if other banks judge these transactions to be too risky.
It's clear that the legalization of recreational use marijuana will not spread like wildfire, but chances are good that attitudes will mellow with time. Meanwhile, states like Colorado and Washington will profit, as will B of A, Visa, and MasterCard – a situation that likely won't go unnoticed by current skeptics.
Great returns without any of the headache
One of the dirty secrets that few finance professionals will openly admit is the fact that dividend stocks as a group handily outperform their non-dividend paying brethren.

Javier Baez singled through a drawn-in infield scoring Matt Szczur with the winning run as the Iowa Cubs (20-15) took a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Nashville Sounds in 10 innings at Principal Park on Monday night. Sounds closer Donovan Hand took the loss for the second straight game.
Lars Anderson forced extra innings when he drilled an 0-2 pitch from Hand over the right field wall leading off the ninth to tie the game at 1-1. Anderson has come on strong of late, hitting .292 over the last ten games.
The game promised to be a pitcher's duel with Jimmy Nelson going for the Sounds (20-18) against Iowa's Tsuyoshi Wada. Both pitchers came into the game with sub-2 ERAs. Nelson, the top prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers organization according to Baseball America, was dominant over six innings. Nelson didn't allow a run and gave up only two hits and three walks while striking out nine, lowering his ERA to 1.76 in 51 innings pitched.
Meanwhile for Iowa, Wada continued to keep runs to a minimum for the opposition. Wada surrendered a third-inning home run to Jeremy Hermida, his third, for the Sounds only run of the game. Wada went seven innings, giving up six hits and three walks while striking out eight and giving up the lone run. Through 44.1 innings, Wada has allowed only six runs, good for a league-best 1.22 ERA. Perhaps more extraordinary than his ERA is the fact that all six runs have come on home runs, four solo and one two-run homer. Wada has 46 strikeouts against only nine walks.
Baez heroics in the tenth were set up when Szczur reached on an infeld hit with one out on the tenth. Szczur advanced to third when Logan Watkins drilled a single to right, setting the stage for Baez. Baez fouled off two good Hand (0-2) breaking balls before grounding a single up the middle to win the game.
Eduardo Figueroa (1-0) picked up the win for Iowa pitching a scoreless tenth inning.
Iowa goes for the series victory on Tuesday afternoon.
NOTES: In what should come as a surprise to no one, Chris Rusin was named PCL Pitcher of the Week on Monday. Rusin threw a no-hitter against the New Orleans Zephyrs on Wednesday. The no-hitter was the first in the PCL since 2009.

Documents released about Officer Derek Wicklund
<P&g t;

Afte r the cell phone video of that April arrest went viral on social media, FOX 11's Ben Krumholz had a handful of people contact [url=www.cheapermichaelkorsoutlet.us.com]Michael Kors Cheap[/url] him about encounters they had with Officer Wicklund. They all wanted to remain anonymous.

FO X 11 put in an open records request to the city in an effort to bring you the facts.

Before the arrest video was shot in April, Officer Wicklund had already been investigated for using excessive force five times.

The records request shows Wicklund has had 14 formal complaints filed against him since April 2006.

The city provided FOX 11 with the documents for 13 of the complaints. The case that wasn released still needs to be approved by another officer who was involved.

Of the five excessive force complaints, the first was in April 2006. A woman complained Wicklund injured her back while she was being arrested. The department said Wicklund actions were appropriate.
< ;P>

 The next was in April of 2007. A woman says Wicklund caused bruises to her arm when handcuffing her and placing her in a squad car. From the documents FOX 11 received, it's unclear what the outcome was of the complaint.

Th e third case in September 2009, the owner of Vicenzi Nightclub complained Wicklund was pushing people for no reason. The investigation found there wasn enough evidence to prove or disprove the allegations. However, police said they believed more evidence likely would have led to an arrest of the bar owner for giving false statements.

T he fourth case was from February 2013. A woman claimed Wicklund punched a man 10 times in the arm to wake him up. Police said Wicklund did nothing wrong.

The fifth case, from July of last year, a man claimed Wicklund injured his ribs while throwing him on a squad car. Wicklund was cleared in that case as well.

The eight complaints not related to excessive force [url=www.cheapermichaelkorsoutlet.us.com]Cheap Michael Kors Outlet[/url] were for various things, including rudeness, false accusations, and harassment.

O ne of the complaints against Wicklund was from within the department. Police say he went into a secure area of the evidence room. Wicklund said he was trying to get something he accidently dropped inside the room. Police ruled Wicklund violated department policy, but did not take any disciplinary action.

Home to Snowdon (the highest mountain in England and Wales), the national park is typified by mist-shrouded mountains, moorland and rocky peaks. Enjoy several stops as you travel through to stretch your legs on strolls or take photos of the glorious views.
Continue by coach to the medieval city of Chester, and then spend your evening doing whatever you please.
Overnight: 3-star guesthouse or hotel in central Chester
Day 3: Chester – Peak District – Lincoln (B)
Check out of your hotel after breakfast, and then travel east to the Peak District, the UK's first national park. Stretching across Cheshire and north Derbyshire, the area is stunning to see with acres of green moorland, limestone villages and the low-rising hills of the Pennines. Your first stop is Castleton, one of the park's prettiest villages, sat in the valley below Mam Tor mountain. Enjoy free time to look around the center, and shop for the local Blue John stone — a highly prized gem that has been mined in Castleton's Blue John Mines for centuries.
After a break for lunch (own expense), continue south through the Peak District to Chatsworth, a beautiful country house estate owned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The grandiose house and grounds were used as filming locations in the BBC's TV adaptation of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice. Head inside to explore the house and gardens (own expense) and walk in the footsteps of the dashing Mr Darcy himself.
From Chatsworth, leave the Peak District, and travel north to the county of Lincolnshire. Your day's final destination is the county capital of Lincoln: your base for your final night. Check in to your hotel in the early evening, and perhaps head into town for dinner and drinks (own expense).
Overnight: 3-star guesthouse or hotel in Lincoln
Day 4: Lincoln – Cambridge – London (B)
Check out of your hotel after breakfast, and then head into the city to discover its rich history that dates back to the Romans. Pay a visit to either Lincoln Cathedral — once the tallest building in the world — or Lincoln Castle, a fortress built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century.
After lunch in town (own expense), leave Lincoln and travel south to Cambridge, one of the world's most prestigious university cities. Enjoy a final walking tour with your guide, seeing some of the top Cambridge attractions and landmarks, and hear tales about the city's history. Stop for photos outside famous King's College, browse Cambridge's array of independent shops.
Finally, return to London, and then finish your 4-day tour with a drop-off at the Victoria start point in the early evening.
Customer Reviews
June 2015
Great tour, especially the day in north Wales. Kevin, our guide, was terrific. Our only comment was it was not long enough. We would have loved more time in Lincoln and Cambridge. The accommodation was terrific and while we were busy, we were never stressed. I would highly recommend.
March 2015
It was amazing! Very nice and happy trip and the tourguide was knowledgeable and really helpful. I think I will choose rabbies again if I am planing another trip in uk
December 2014
have read so much about the small group tour and so we booked ourselves to join this new tour. was pleasantly surprised that there was only three of us in the first class minivan. our driver/guide Kevin was very knowledgeable and drove us very safely. he gave us time to explore and even drove along very scenic spots which i think a big bus wouldnt be able to go through. the places visited each had its own charm my only complaint is that there's not enough time in wales where you get to visit conwy castle. there's so much more to see but i guess we have to leave after an hour and a half to visit next destination. you get to go to 3 various places where you stop each day. we were able to see a lot in the limited time but had to sacrifice lunch and just eat sandwiches/fruits at the van. overall had a great time would recommend Rabbie's which is the operator of these small group tours,
December 2015
Great trip! I got to see many places.
Also, I was the only one on this trip. The tour company Rabbie's still let me go on this trip.
November 2015
Great experience,had a cosy group of five,great people to travel with,would recommend,accommodation was great,whole. Experience very worthwhile.
July 2015
Our itinerary was wonderful. Barney, the guide, also did a great job, was lots of fun and helped develop cohesion in the group. The hotels booked for us were charming and better than I expected. Only complaint, we were taken to the venues and dropped off and picked up, given a little information on the sites, but not given guided tours. I did expect that at least at some sites there would be guided tours. But that did not happen. I would recommend this tour however. We saw so much and had fun doing it.
July 2015
We thought my sister had booked the Cotswolds trip so we were a bit disappointed at first. But with our very effervescent tour and bus driver Barney we had a great trip. Always on time and cometary very very good.I rate him 9.
June 2015
Great locations, very knowledgeable and interesting guide. but accommodations were less than satisfactory...too too far out of town and not to standard promoted .
May 2015
This tour was amazing!

Poll Position: To Cruise or Not to Cruise During Hurricane Season
July 30, 2012 | By Ashley Kosciolek | No Comments
The 2012 hurricane season has been a relatively quiet one so far. With just a handful of named storms and four hurricanes in the Pacific that didn't have much cruise impact, we're hoping the trend continues. That got us wondering: Would you cruise to potentially affected destinations during this time of year? What if the price was right?
What we asked: Would you sail during hurricane season for less than $50 a night?
What they said: About 54 percent said they'd absolutely go if it were that cheap. Another 23 percent said they'd go, but not because of the price. A further 12 percent said they wouldn't risk it at all, and the remaining 11 percent said they weren't sure.
What it all means: Price is a huge influence. If you're flexible with your itinerary preferences and won't be heartbroken if you miss a particular port in the event of inclement weather, a hurricane season cruise really isn't much different from a cruise during any other time of the year. As far as safety is concerned, ships have tons of handy-dandy electronics that allow their captains to steer around any possible danger, and there are sometimes really great bargains to be had. As always, though, it's prudent to consider travel insurance on any sailing, but especially during hurricane season.

Greg Biffle is sounding a little less certain about his desire to remain at Roush Fenway Racing. The driver said during Monday's Nationwide Series test at Lowe's Motor Speedway that he doesn't know if Roush Fenway Racing is where he wants to be next season, citing a consistent pattern of team-inflicted mistakes.
"You know, you get frustrated, and you look at that last race, and you say: 'Gosh, I don't want to do that anymore. I want to do something different,'†said Biffle, who led 95 laps in Saturday's Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington Raceway before a broken timing belt in his car's engine relegated him to a 43rd-place finish.
"But you look around the garage, everybody has these issues. Everybody has these problems. A timing belt can fail on anybody's race car. You can have a loose wheel at any time. You can have a problem with the transmission. All these guys have had these issues in the past. I just don't want to continue to have them year after year.â€
Biffle, whose contract with Roush Fenway expires at the end of 2008, said as recently as two weekends ago at Richmond International Raceway that he fully intends to return to the team in 2009.
But the driver of the No. 16 Ford was highly critical of his team at Darlington for leaving two loose wheels on his car. One of those wheels forced Biffle to make an unscheduled green flag pit stop, giving up the lead.
"It's easier to accept when it's a Denny Hamlin situation, where he dominates at Richmond and he gets a flat tire,†Biffle said, referring to the woes that cost Hamlin an almost certain win at Richmond two weekends ago after leading all but one of the first 382 laps.
"That can happen, and it did happen, and a driver can accept that. … But when it's other issues it makes it harder inside to take because stuff will happen. I don't know. It's one of things. You feel frustrated, but you've got to continue to give it 100 percent effort all the time.â€

A court verdict over deadly football violence sparked fresh unrest in Egypt on Saturday, with several buildings torched in the capital, as Islamist President Mohamed Morsi faces growing civil unrest.
A Port Said court, sitting in Cairo for security reasons, confirmed death sentences for 21 defendants and handed down life sentences to five people, with 19 receiving lesser jail terms and another 28 exonerated.
Fans of Al-Ahly football club, whose members were killed in a February 2012 stadium riot in Port Said in which 74 people died, had warned police they would retaliate if the defendants were exonerated.
In Cairo, huge flames rose above the main building of the Egyptian Football Association and a police officers' club in an affluent neighbourhood on an island in the Nile.
Residents of Gezira used garden hoses to try to extinguish the flames as a police helicopter circled overhead. Windows were smashed at other buildings in the complex.
The football riot trial has been a ticking time bomb for Morsi, who is facing a revolt in Port Said, growing nationwide unrest and an unprecedented police strike.
The court handed 15-year sentences to the former head of police security, General Essam Samak, and to Brigadier General Mohammed Saad, who was responsible for the stadium gates, which were locked, when the riot broke out.
Seven remaining police defendants were acquitted.
During sentencing, the judge read out a string of names without explaining who they were, leading to much confusion.
"First we were happy when we heard the 21 death sentences. We were cheering and didn't hear the rest of the verdict," one football supporter in Cairo told AFP. "Then we were very angry."
Any verdict in the highly charged trial was likely to trigger angry reactions.
Senior interior ministry officials said police had been put on high alert in the Sinai peninsula -- where the government has long struggled with militancy and smuggling -- in case of attacks against police stations.
In Port Said, hundreds of people prevented ferries from shuttling residents between the banks of the Suez Canal, in protest at the confirmation of the 21 death sentences against supporters of the local team.
They set fire to tyres and put up a huge banner at the entrance of the port demanding "independence for Port Said."
The Suez Canal Authority, which runs the vital waterway for global commerce, said the canal had been unaffected by the unrest.
Earlier, several hundred grim protesters had marched on the Suez Canal and a port in the city as military helicopters flew overhead and troops stationed tanks outside the port.
A lawyer for one defendants, who received a life sentence, said he would appeal.
"It's a political ruling. This judge tried to achieve a balance, but everyone is displeased with the rulings," Ashraf al-Ezzabi told AFP by phone from outside the heavily secured court room.
In February 2012, clashes in the canal city of Port Said between fans of home side Al-Masry and Cairo's Al-Ahly left 74 people dead and sparked days of violent protests in Cairo, in which another 16 people were killed.
Tension has been running particularly high in an already divided Egypt since January 26, when the court first issued the death sentences in the country's deadliest-ever football disaster.
Dissent has even reached police ranks, with police officers refusing orders to deploy, saying they are ill-equipped to deal with violent protesters and were made to suffer the consequences of government mistakes.
In Port Said, the government has almost completely lost its grip on security.
Police on Friday withdrew from their headquarters and handed responsibility for securing it to the military, deployed in the city since late January.
Threats of further unrest have cast uncertainty over government plans to introduce economic reforms that are key to obtaining an crucial $4.8-billion dollar International Monetary Fund loan.

Episode three of So You Think You Can Dance on FOX begins with day two of auditions in Los Angeles with guest judge Christina Applegate joining Mary Murphy and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe on the panel.
Alla Kocherga / Serge Onik - 24 / 25 - Ballroom: Serge returned for the third time after not breaking into the top 20 last season. He showed up this time with his new girlfriend ready to commit to her and the show if they both made it to the next round, which they did.
Timothy Joseph - 24- Hip-Hop: Although he did show some generic talent, his routine showed a serious lack in choreography or direction, so much so that he injured himself at the end trying to add one last flip. He was invited to return for choreography, but his injury wouldn't allow him to.
Casey Askew - 19 - Contemporary: If you're able to take your eyes off of the Johnny Bravo hair and JFK smile long enough, you'll notice that this kid is really talented. The judges noticed and put him through to the next round.
J-4 - 19 - Hip-Hop: At first it was unclear the purpose of Nigel calling Cyrus Spencer (S9) and Fik-Shun Stegall (S10 winner) back on stage after the debacle yesterday, but this time it worked. J-4 seemed nervous at first, but then jumped in with both feet and really showed that he fit in with these guys and deserved to move on to the next round in order to meet his idol Stephen "tWitch" Boss.
Jourdan Epstein - 24 - Ballet: Likely the best dancer of the day, Jourdan performed with tremendous poise and strength.
Johnny "Waacks" Gibson - 22 - Waacking: Returning for another shot at his original dance, despite the guttural digs Nigel continued to give him regarding the name, Johnny really proved himself a serious contender. He was sent to choreography, where he made it through this time.
Malene Ostergaard / Armen Way - 25 / 28 - Ballroom: Armen was immediately recognized as the guy who dropped Malece Miller on her head during Vegas week last season, which deservedly kept him out of the top 20. This time he showed up with an equally attractive and strong partner that together blew the judges away.
Next stop is Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, where ballerina Misty Copeland joined the judges panel.
Bridget Whitman - 19 - Contemporary: With her father's tragic death a few years before and the memory of watching SYTYCD next to him with his encouragement for her to practice hard so she could be on this show herself as inspiration, the stage was set for an unforgettable performance that her father would have been proud of.
Amir Sanders - 21 - Ballet: At first the audition was mesmerizing, but after you got past the outfit and hair the technique was lacking in some of the basics. Her original character was enough to see if she could make it through choreography though, which he proved worthy enough to advance to the next round.
Landon Anderson - 18 - Contemporary: London was Jenna Johnson's audition partner last season, but was too young to advance so Nigel asked him to return this year. He did and Jenna returned to repay the favor. He likely performed very well, because the judges put him through, but Jenna was on stage!
Nigel couldn't let Jenna leave without inviting her to be an all-star this season! She cried and agreed and I cried and she cried. ::sigh::
Shafeek Westbrook - 24 Hip-Hop: Claiming to have recovered from his anger issues he displayed in season 9 auditions via meditation, Shafeek returned to give it another shot. Though not performing at the same level as before or even showing anything new, the judges still decided to give him another shot at the choreography round and he made it this time.
Day two in Philadelphia:
Stanley Glover - 19 - Contemporary: Animal-like movement has always proven effective in getting the attention of the judges, even when technique isn't fully there. It worked again.
James Davis - 24 - Krump: James displayed an unusually slow version of krump that may take a while to catch on, if at all. The judges weren't crazy about it, but gave him a chance at choreography, which he didn't make the cut.

06.17.2010 / Fixed Income Markets Performing Well
The general theme in fixed income markets over the last year was a significant improvement in the prices of riskier asset classes. Investors moved very rapidly from extreme risk aversion at the height of the financial crisis in 2008 and early 2009, to a pursuit of higher yields in riskier assets as the crisis abated. Yield spreads tightened across all fixed income asset classes as the economy continued to display steady improvement.
Now, with the recent concerns over European sovereign debt and the perceived potential for a double-dip recession very suddenly re-emerging, a flight-to-quality bias has resurfaced in the fixed income markets in recent weeks. As a result, U.S. Treasury and higher credit quality securities have outperformed riskier fixed income securities during the first part of the second quarter. Investors can be whip-sawed in these volatile times and may experience very poor returns by chasing a fast-moving market.
The Tributary Capital Management Aggregate Fixed Income Strategy has performed very well in this environment, as its holdings are generally higher credit quality than those of its peers. Through April, the Strategy's year-to-date total return was 3.65%, while its benchmark index, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index returned 2.84%.
We believe the majority of spread tightening and price appreciation across the broad universe of fixed income assets is likely behind us. Individual security selection will become increasingly important in the performance of fixed income portfolios. We believe our emphasis on maintaining a yield advantage over the benchmark index while still providing higher credit quality than our peers should lead to consistently strong performance in a highly volatile market.
For information on Tributary Capital Management please visit tributarycapital.com or email email@example.com.

I have Solarized installed via pathogen and it's been working fine in both terminal and MacVim on my Mac. Today, I tried setting up an Ubuntu box on Linode. I just cloned my dotfiles and symlinked to my
.vim and
.vimrc folders (this is the same setup as I use on my local machine.
Whenever I try to run vim on the Ubuntu box I get an error
Error detected while processing /root/.vimrc:
line 43:

Press ENTER or type command to continue
I can tell my
.vimrc is being loaded because all other setting like line numbers are working.
The related lines in
.vimrc are the following:
" settings needed for solarized colorscheme
syntax enable
set background=dark
let g:solarized_termcolors=256
colorscheme solarized
This is the setup of my
.vim/bundle directory (incase you suspect I don't actually have solzrized in there!):
~ ls .vim/bundle
ack coffeescript liquid snipmate vim-colors-solarized vim-jst zencoding
closetag html5.vim nerdtree surround vim-javascript vim-rails
One other thing, running
echo &t_Co in vim on the ubunto box gets me
Any ideas?

Alabama state Rep. Alvin Holmes, a black Democrat from Montgomery, caused a firestorm of criticism on Twitter after claiming white Republicans would abort their mixed-race grandchildren, Twitchy reported Wednesday.
"Ninety-nine percent of the all of the white people in here are going to raise their hand that they are against abortion. On the other hand, 99 percent of the whites that are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion. They ain't gonna let her have the baby," he said during debate on a bill that would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
"They ain't gonna let her have the baby," he added.
"You know that and I know that," he later said, offering one piece of anecdotal evidence to back up his claim.
According to al.com, Holmes made his statement after Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs, compared the bill she sponsored to the landmark legal case of Brown vs. the Board of Education.
"Can we vote all of these ppl out of office in the next election?! Rep. Alvin Holmes goes crazy and racist," one person said.
"Rep Alvin Holmes claims 99% pro life white would abort if pregnant by a black? And WE are racist?" another person asked.
"The sad thing is he believes this. Maybe he missed the #MyRightWingBiracialFamily hashtag," added another Twitter user, referencing a hashtag that was used when a panel hosted by MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry mocked a black Romney grandchild as a token.
Twitchy said that was one possible explanation, but said it's more likely Holmes "can't help being a racist jacka*s."
Regular readers may recall that Holmes slammed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas earlier this month as an "Uncle Tom."
In that incident, two reporters from different publications heard Holmes attack Thomas for being married to a white woman.
Holmes, however, claimed otherwise.
"I said some people might say I didn't like him because he was married to a white woman," he told Tim Lockette of the Anniston Star.
Nevertheless, he stood by his assessment of the only black person on the nation's highest court.
"I said I don't like him at all because he is an Uncle Tom," he said.
One reader at al.com said Holmes is "dumbing down" his voter base, while another person sarcastically thanked Holmes for putting Alabama on the map.
The bill passed the Alabama House and is headed to the Senate.

Bottle Maker Nalgene Sued
more trouble for sports bottle maker Nalgene. Nalge Nunc International Corp is being sued over the use of Bisphenol A (BPA). Reuters reports:
A California mother sued Nalge Nunc International Corp, claiming the company knew, but downplayed risks, that a toxic substance in its popular Nalgene plastic sports bottles could leach into the bottles' contents and sicken consumers.To be on the safe side, I was at the store looking at stainless-steel water bottles yesterday—a tad pricey!
The case, filed on Tuesday, is believed to be the first consumer class action over the use of Bisphenol A, or BPA, in plastic sports bottles since Canada moved to ban baby bottles containing the substance and the U.S. government expressed concern over its safety last week…
…The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, accuses Nalge Nunc of continuing to assert that BPA is safe long after dozens of studies linked the substance to hormone disruptions, infertility, early puberty, and cancer.
The lawsuit was brought by Lani Felix-Lozano, who said she bought the company's reusable beverage containers for herself and her two daughters, now ages 11 and 13, for several years.
