Colleges Raise Record $33.8 Billion Exceeding U.S. Peak in 2009
Donations to U.S. colleges and universities rose 9 percent to $33.8 billion in the year through June, topping the record set before the global credit crisis, as stock market gains fueled giving.
Stanford University led all institutions, according to a report released today by the Council for Aid to Education in New York. The school near Palo Alto, California, raised $931.6 million in donations, after setting a single-year record in 2012 by collecting more than $1 billion. Stanford has topped the list for a decade.
College giving is accelerating and endowments have rebounded, offering relief to institutions that have struggled to balance budgets amid a weak economic recovery. While the stock market drives fluctuations in annual giving, the number of big donations received by colleges shows they've been working harder at building relationships, said Ann Kaplan, director of the council's survey.
"What came to fruition this year didn't come in just one year," Kaplan said in a telephone interview. "It means there's some careful planning. They've been either in campaigns or cultivating the connection."
Donations exceeded the $31.6 billion record reported in 2009, which reflects money raised the previous fiscal year that ended in June 2008.
In the 12 months ended in June 2013, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 18 percent.
Harvard University, the world's wealthiest school with a $32.7 billion endowment, was second, raising $792.3 million. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school introduced a $6.5 billion fundraising campaign last year that will run through 2018.
Alumni Donations
While the percentage of alumni making gifts fell to 8.7 percent from 9.2 percent a year earlier, the group remained the most significant contributor after foundations.
"That is troubling," said Charles Phlegar, vice president for alumni affairs and development at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, regarding lower alumni participation. "That's something all of us have to be concerned about long term."
Cornell raised $475 million in the period, ranking it seventh.
Alumni giving increased 17 percent to $9 billion last year from $7.7 billion the year before. Only corporations cut their largesse, with giving falling 2.9 percent to $5.1 billion.
Almost 60 percent of schools said they raised more in 2013 than the previous year. Contributions for current operations increased 6.9 percent, and gifts for capital purposes rose 12.4 percent.
While the current fiscal year still has more than four months left, the "bellwethers for giving" in higher education are positive, Kaplan said in a statement.
"The level of giving in 2013 was indeed impressive and will be challenging to exceed," she said.
Schools that raised the most in the year ended June 2013 1. Stanford University ($931.57 million) 2. Harvard University ($792.26 million) 3. University of Southern California ($674.51 million) 4. Columbia University ($646.66 million) 5. Johns Hopkins University ($518.57 million) 6. University of Pennsylvania ($506.61 million) 7. Cornell University ($474.96 million) 8. New York University ($449.34 million) 9. Yale University ($444.17 million) 10. Duke University ($423.66 million) Source: Council for Aid to Education

Most Helpful
Nice way to dress up frozen broccoli and superfast to put together! Talking leftovers, I am going to either turn them into a quiche or throw them in some sundried tomato pasta sauce I have frozen. Thanks for sharing! Made for Veggie Swap July 2010.
For the RSC#14 Hidden Gems Event I made `Rita~s Salmon Surprise Balls Salmon Surprise Balls which received a 5 star review rating from me. And along with that recipe I made this one, which also turned out to be 5 stars. I had pre-cooked the Broccoli in a micro-wave oven (a little water and a touch of salt to retain the color). Then I decided to stir-fry the Broccoli and with the balance of the ingredients in a Teflon pan for about 1-2 minutes, with the broccoli becoming a little crispy. This dish was easy to make and delicious!

These photos, by Judie St.Germain, show some of the work now on display at the Begonia Grill.

Meeting for the first time, the three actors discuss the Pixar legacy, giving voice to the family of T. rexes, and scoring huge "cool points" with their roles.
Anna Paquin and Frances McDormand head up the recently-revealed voice cast of Disney-Pixar's next feature, "The Good Dinosaur," which also includes Sam Elliott and Steve Zahn.
A new edit of the Fox film is pegged for release next summer on Blu-ray and DVD, adding 10 minutes of footage featuring Rogue and other characters.
Despite being cut early in the editing process, Anna Paquin's Rogue has made her way back in to director Bryan Singer's sequel.
X-Men: Days Of Future Past director Bryan Singer and writer Simon Kinberg answer questions about Wolverine's changing claws and whether or Rogue will actually be seen in the sequel.
One of the screenwriters of The Wolverine reveals he tried to find a way to reteam Logan with Rogue in director James Mangold's film. "There's something special between them," Mark Bomback says, "so I was trying to bring Rogue into it, but it just didn't get there."
The cast of HBO's True Blood entertained fans at Comic-Con International with a sneak peek at this season's remaining episodes, and a discussion of where their characters stand.
Director Bryan Singer promises that Simon Kinberg's script for X-Men:Days of Future Past will accommodate a huge cast that may or may not include the return of Halle Berry as Storm. The sequel opens July 18, 2014.
Executive Producer Alan Ball and the cast of HBO's Southern Gothic series True Blood got down and dirty with fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
True Blood creator Alan Ball was joined on-stage Saturday in Beverly Hills by the cast of his hit HBO series to discuss what the fourth season has in store for the citizens of Bon Temps, Louisiana.

I believe in a thing called love -- for RPGs.
Download or Stream Videos
Check out the intro. and gameplay footage from the U.S. version!
I know that I am not alone in feeling a certain ennui when it comes to Japanese RPGs. I may have loved the genre whole-heartedly at one time, staying up until the wee hours to delight in the Final Fantasys, the Chrono Triggers, the Mana series; but it's become hard over the last few years to get excited about yet another expertly produced, good-looking game with random battles, turn-based combat, an overlong and entirely cliched story, and characters cut out of the back of a cereal box. After a while, it hurts to care because you end up being disappointed.
So it was with this wariness that I began Grandia III, steeling myself against the cheesy voice acting that was sure to come. But Grandia III opens...well, grandly, superbly, with a breathtaking wordless cinema that is part dream and part vision, part flashback and part prophecy, and which rivals anything that Final Fantasy has done. The world, too, pushes the PS2 to the limit, with autumnal leaves cascading to the forest floor, and the morning sun filtering through the mist, every scene evincing a depth of detail that really brings to life the visionary art direction and stands as perhaps the pinnacle of the aesthetic possibilities of this generation's consoles.
But it takes more than fancy graphics to seduce me anymore. I waited until the main characters were introduced. A boy with a dream, a will to see it through, and spiky hair -- check. A spunky, no-nonsense young woman who bosses him around -- check. An innocent girl fleeing some nasty-looking soldiers because she's fated to have a power no one really understands -- oh, how often have we seen this before? But hold on -- the young woman treating our hero like a kid is, in fact, his mother. That's new -- I've never played a videogame that explored so deeply the relationship between mother and son before. And indeed the scene in which she realizes she can't protect him anymore and must let him go is genuinely moving, in a much more real way than the manufactured, manipulative death of Aeris. (I still maintain that Aeris's death seemed like something you should be able to prevent, and it was supremely frustrating that there was nothing you could do.) By contrast, Miranda can't prevent her son from growing up, and that's a universal truth.
Ludologists and narratologists may debate until the end of time whether storytelling belongs in games or not; and as much as I have railed against the overuse of in-game cinematics to shove the plot forward, Grandia III manages to fold its many, many cinemas into the game so gracefully that each cut-scene is a treat, not a torture. True, the voice acting is a bit stretched thin, but once again the sheer high quality of the CG serves to highlight key important and emotional moments, rather than to interrupt the game.
After the initial burst of character-driven plot, however, the storyline does fall into place as a more standard quest tale, with orbs to collect and boss fights to endure, and a girl with a mysterious power to protect. But because of the initial investment in the plight of those involved, I found myself continuing to care about every one of the playable characters, even when wince-inducing wooden humor was painfully extracted from them. Much is made of the fact, for example, that Alfina can't cook; as royalty, she's never had to. The scene is embarrassingly long. Another moment that is meant to express a high point in the slowly blossoming romance between Alfina and Yuki is a straight-up rip off of Titanic. And still, in spite of all that, the care with which each character is drawn, animated, and given life in the game grew on me.
Another feature of RPGs that feeds my need to obsess over every detail is of course the character customization possibilities, which, after playing twenty-three hours of the game, I feel I've only begun to explore. In addition to the usual weapons, armors, and accessories, there are skills and magic abilities to distribute, as well as mana eggs that enhance magical abilities. Fusing various mana eggs together will generate more powerful eggs with upgraded properties. If you have spare eggs, you can also decide to extract spells from them, in which case the eggs will be used up. (Fuse the eggs first to generate even more powerful, rare spells.) Skills are another set of possibilities, and skill books are sort of the equivalent of mana eggs. You can extract special skills from books you find during the course of your adventures, or you can carry them as accessories to enhance the skills you already have.
I also found the battles -- yes, even those mundane leveling-up battles -- to be consistently fun and exciting, thanks to the much-vaunted combat system that the series has been able to perfect. The "command wheel" at first may seem like an over-complication of combat, but it turns out to be a clever way of pacing turn-based combat to make it as action-packed as it is real-time fighting; strategy develops quite differently from battle to battle depending on who's got the faster initiative and speed. Moreover, the player is encouraged to refine combat style to achieve massive multi-hit combos, including the aerial combo in which you knock an opponent into the air and let the other characters smack him around while he's on his way down. Finishing off an enemy like that will increase the chance of them dropping a rare item. The game will advise you during combat if you wish, in a way that doesn't break the fiction -- the characters will shout things like, "Quick! Alfina's being targeted! Stop him now, Yuki!" But to increase the challenge for yourself, you can turn this advice off.
For preview purposes Square Enix sent us only the first disc of what will ship as two discs. It's not an exaggeration to say that the first disc restored my faith and love of Japanese RPGs.

Hottie Madness 2014 Winner: Henry Cavill! (Bonus MVH: Jonathan Rhys Meyers.)
posted on April 09, 2014 by
We've made it to the end of Hottie Madness 2014! Four weeks. 64 hotties. And after a few close calls, major upsets and some intense battles, we're left with one winner. I present you with the Official Hottie of 2014: Henry Cavill.
Before we get into the details, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who voted! As always, I appreciate all the participation and support. And it's nice to see that I'm not the only one obsessed with all these hotties. These guys are lucky to have such loyal fans. (More on that in a minute…)
Hottie Madness 2014: Championship Game!
posted on April 07, 2014 by
We've made it to the Championship Game in Hottie Madness 2014! We started with 64 hotties and now we're down to two! The battle between Tudors co-stars Henry Cavill and Jonathan Rhys Meyers was intense. Both have insanely loyal fans and I hated to see either one have to lose, but Henry's fans pushed him to the win. Obviously I'm a huge fan of ALL the hotties in this bracket, but in honor of JRM's hotness and seriously awesome fans, I have something special planned for him on Wednesday when the Official Hottie is revealed!
You know what's weird? Last year's final was a seven seed vs a top seed, with the seven seed (David Gandy) taking the win. I wonder if history will repeat itself? Just a reminder, voting is blocked by IP address and cookie to keep things as fair as possible. This time I'm sharing a collection of images of each hottie to help with the voting. Good luck to our finalists and may the hottest hottie win!
Voting for this bracket ends Tuesday, April 8th at 8 PM EST.
(7) Johnny Depp vs (1) Henry Cavill
Johnny staged a small upset over six seed Jake Gyllenhaal, and won with 59.35% of the vote. It was back and forth all weekend between Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Henry Cavill, but in the end Henry's fans gave him the edge and he won with 52.51% of the vote. I feel like everywhere I look lately, I'm see Johnny Depp. Recently engaged. New movie coming out. He's clearly on a run! But Henry's fans have been incredibly loyal and very active. So in the battle of these two hotties, will Henry's fans remain strong, or will Johnny pull off an upset?
Good luck to our final hotties and thanks so much for voting! Check back on Wednesday to see who is crowed the Official Hottie!
Hottie Madness 2014: The Final Four!
posted on April 04, 2014 by
We've reached the Final Four of Hottie Madness 2014, where the top guys from each bracket have moved on to compete against each other, and who could have predicted this turnout? Henry Cavill is the only top seed remaining, and he's facing his Tudors costar, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, whose fate last round was a little shaky. (One reader commented on the last photo of him not being recent. Just to clarify, it was from a recent W photo shoot, so rest assured that JRM definitely still has his looks!) And in the top half of the bracket, we've ended up somewhere in the middle.
The winners of the Final Four will compete against each other for the title of Official Hottie, so who's it going to be? Just a reminder, voting is blocked by IP address and cookie to keep things as fair as possible. Click on the names/links for the full post and cast your vote in each box below the photos.

Voting for this bracket ends Sunday, April 6th at 6 PM EST. Don't forget to tag any social posts with #HottieMadness2014!
(7) Johnny Depp vs (6) Jake Gyllenhaal
I have to say, I didn't expect Johnny to still be hanging in this competition, but he took out top seed Charlie Hunnam with 53% of the vote. And Jake Gyllenhaal won over top seed Justin Timberlake with 55%. Who will win this battle of the middle to move on to the Championship? I can't even begin to predict which way the votes will go! Johnny has a new movie coming out next week, so maybe he's more top of mind? And let's not forget the man is 50. FIFTY. I mean, what? Looking good, Jonny.
Hottie Madness 2014: The Elite 8
posted on April 02, 2014 by
Eight more hotties were eliminated as we head into the Elite 8 of Hottie Madness 2014! After to a last minute push to secure Charlie Hunnam's spot, three top seeds are still in the tourney. And our one remaining
Cinderella Prince Charming story, eleven seed Jonathan Rhys Meyers, is still going strong. For those of you who don't understand why, read this recent W article. He's grouped amongst the top social media celebs with a huge Twitter following, along with last year's winner David Gandy. (Thanks to W for the photos of hotties in bed.)

Voting for this bracket is shorter and ends tomorrow, April 3rd at 11:59 PM EST. Don't forget to tag any social posts with #HottieMadness2014!
(1) Charlie Hunnam vs (7) Johnny Depp
Colin Firth was in the lead until late yesterday when Charlie Hunnam took the win with 53% of the vote. And Johnny Depp took out Orlando Bloom with 56%. Johnny is having a good week with his recent engagement, but can he ride that high to a victory over Charlie?
Hottie Madness 2014: The Sweet 16.
posted on March 31, 2014 by
The voting is getting tough! After eliminating 48 hotties, we've made it to the Sweet 16 of Hottie Madness 2014! There were A LOT of intense battles and a few upsets in Round 2. All of the top seeds are still in the tourney, and we do have some potential Cinderella stories developing (or should we call them Prince Charming's?). I tried to choose photos that were similar to put the hotties on a more level playing field. Click on the names/links for the full post and cast your vote in each box below the photos.

As a reminder, voting for this bracket is shorter and ends tomorrow, April 1st at 11:59 PM EST. Don't forget to tag any social posts with #HottieMadness2014!
(1) Charlie Hunnam vs (4) Colin Firth
Charlie had a fairly easy win over Mark Wahlberg with 62% of the vote, and as much as I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I'm thrilled to see that Colin took the win with 61%. Here we have another battle of the Brits, but can a relative newbie compete with our beloved Mr. Darcy?
Hottie Madness 2014, Round 2: The Drool Bracket.
posted on March 26, 2014 by
After a relatively drama-free Round 1 (except one country-themed upset), we've made it to Round 2 of the Drool bracket in Hottie Madness 2014. Not to sway votes, but I shared a few thoughts on each matchup, and I tried to choose photos that were similar to put the hotties on a more level playing field. Click on the names/links for the full post and cast your vote in each box below the photos. Click here for more details and to download the bracket.
Voting for this bracket ends Friday, March 28th. There is still time to vote in Round 2 of the Swoon and Crush brackets. Don't forget to tag any social posts with #HottieMadness2014!
(1) Henry Cavill vs (8) Ian Somerhalder
The biggest win of the tourney so far was Henry Cavill over Alan Ritchson, with 92% of the vote. But Ian's victory over Jimmy Fallon (77%) was just as impressive. This is a tough choice between two supernatural hotties. Superman vs vampire. Sexy chiseled cheekbones vs THE SMOLDER. They both have hot bods, so that's no help. I don't envy anyone who has to make this choice, including myself.
Hottie Madness 2014, Round 1: The Drool Bracket.

Time to vote for who you drool over most in Round 1 of Hottie Madness 2014! Up next, the Drool bracket. Don't forget, there is still time to vote in the Swoon and Crush brackets! I don't want to sway votes, but I shared a few thoughts on each matchup, and I tried to choose photos that were similar to each to put the hotties on a more level playing field. Somehow all the music show judges ended up in this bracket. You can click on the names/links for the full post and cast your vote in each box below the photos.

I think Henry is the hottest guy on the planet. Seriously. So hot. I can't stop looking at him. But when I put these pics side by side, Alan kinda gives him a run for his money. Kinda…
Super Hottie: Henry Cavill.
posted on June 12, 2013 by
It's been a month since my last post. That's almost unforgivable. I apologize for the unexpected and extended blogging hiatus. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I like my job (you know, the one that pays the bills), but I do get pissed at it when it takes time away from the other things I enjoy, like blogging. Anyways, enough about me. It's Hump Day Hottie, and I'm back with one of the hottest guys (if not currently THE hottest) in Hollywood: Henry Cavill.
I've already done a few posts on Henry, so I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said. I'm so excited to see Man of Steel. Honestly, I don't even care about the plot (I've actually never seen any Superman movies or TV shows, so it's all new to me). All I care about is Henry and his total and complete hotness. Which includes his muscles. And his blue eyes. And his curly hair, chiseled cheekbones and chin dimple. And major props to whoever designed his costume – it really shows off all of Henry's…impressive assets.
Hotties of the Year: 2012.
posted on December 20, 2012 by
Sorry that I've totally slacked on hottie posts (and all posts for that matter) for the past few weeks. It's not like me. I actually started this post two weeks ago, but I've been swamped at work and busy trying to get Christmas stuff done, so the blog has taken a back seat. And I am taking next week off from blogging to enjoy the holiday and recharge my batteries, and I'll be back in full force in the new year.
But I do hate to see weeks go by with no hotties, so I'm going to try to make up for it. A lot of magazines right now are coming out with their Entertainers/Men of the Year issues (GQ, EW, Details), so I thought I'd recap some of my picks for Hotties of the Year 2012. Some are new to the blog, and some have already been featured, but you can never have too much hotness, right?
It was so hard to narrow down all the hotties of the year into a small list, so I'm sorry if I've left out your faves!! Who would be your top hottie of 2012?
Sexiest Stripper: Channing Tatum
Who knew a movie about male strippers would be so successful? (Well, I could have told you that…) It's hard to choose just one hottie from a movie full of them, but Channing brings the sexy in Magic Mike. Those dance moves? Damn. He clearly had a good year, also starring in The Vow and 21 Jump Street, and was named People's Sexiest Man Alive. And how can you not love a man, when asked what super power he wishes he had, answers, "To be able to read my wife's mind." Swoon! (And we recently found out he's going to be a
DILF daddy, so congrats Channing and Jenna!)
Super Hotties: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christian Bale and Henry Cavill
I freaking love, LOVE, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So much so that I may have been the only person to see Premium Rush. And he was so great in The Dark Knight Rises as a super-hero sidekick to my other love, Christian Bale. I'm sad to see CB's part of the franchise end, but I seriously hope they continue with JG-L as Robin. Plus you gotta love a guy who channels his inner stripper for a very sexy Magic Mike tribute on SNL. And even though Man of Steel isn't out until next summer (ugh), Henry Cavill (and his package) has been getting a lot of well-deserved attention!
Red-headed British Hotties: Eddie Redmayne and Damian Lewis
I mentioned this in my Claire Danes post, but I'm completely obsessed with Homeland, including its friendly neighborhood terrorist and Emmy-award-winning star, Damian Lewis. I had no idea he was a "pesky Brit" until he accepted his award, and with a typical British sense of humor, said: "I don't really believe in judging art, but I showed up just in case." I'm completely enamored with him and the character he plays. And I've already blogged about my love for Eddie Redmayne, so I'm thrilled to see his stylish, perfectly coiffed self all over the place promoting Les Mis. Just one more reason I can't wait to see this movie!
Downton Hotties: Dan Stevens and Michelle Dockery
I've already done a hottie post on the Men of Downton Abbey (one of my most popular posts!), but it's no secret that Dan Stevens is my fave. I went to see him in The Heiress on Broadway, and stalking the stage door finally paid off! I not only met him, but hugged him, got his autograph and a picture with him! He was completely lovely and charming in person, so now I'm even more obsessed. I will be crushed if he doesn't return for Season 4. Crushed. And Michelle Dockery is just stunning. Even though Lady Mary is a bit stuck up, I have a soft spot for her!
Just Cause: Leonardo DiCaprio and John Krasinski
Leo should always be featured, just cause he's Leo. He is one of my all-time faves, and since he made it to the final round of Hottie Madness earlier this year, I know I'm not alone! I'm excited to see him in Django Unchained, but more excited for The Great Gatsby, which was supposed to be out this year but has been pushed back until 2013. Bummer. Either way, he had a busy 2012. And in case you need another reason (which you don't), he was featured in the Details Hollywood Maverick's issue as the Leading Man. John Krasinski was featured in that same issue as the Idea Man, which made me realize I've never done a post on him (what?), so this is way overdue. I've been a long time fan of John on The Office, and I basically love him in anything he does! He's just so damn adorable. Check him out in the upcoming movie Promised Land, which he co-created, co-wrote and co-stars in with fellow hottie Matt Damon.
The New Hotties: The Cast of New Girl
I recently did a post on the boys of New Girl and like I said in that post, I started watching the show because I was a fan Zooey Deschanel (and still am), but the guys have totally won me over and stolen my heart. New Girl has become one of my favorite shows, and the cast has such great chemistry. Can't get enough of the douchebag jar!
Brotherly Hotties: Chris and Liam Hemsworth
I've featured both brothers on this site, and they have both had incredible years, Liam with The Hunger Games and Chris with Snow White, The Avengers and Red Dawn. So…I can't feature one without the other. I love how Thor director Kenneth Branagh described Chris' appeal to Out magazine: "[Chris] is built like a concrete shipyard and looks very fetching with his shirt off." Umm, yum.
Girl Crushing: Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway
There are so many women I could feature, but these are three of my fave ladies of 2012, each of them being nominated for SAG and Golden Globe awards for their performances this year! Jennifer had a huge year with The Hunger Games and I'm so happy to see her nominated for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook, which I adored. (Check out my review!) I think she is super sexy and I love her raspy voice and sense of humor. I was also lucky to see Jessica Chastain in The Heiress, and the fact that Jessica came out to talk to the fans, take pics and sign autographs was amazing. She was incredibly sweet and I was thrilled to meet such a charming, beautiful, total A-lister, with the most fabulous hair and smile. I loved her in The Help, and I can't wait to see her in Zero Dark Thirty. And I've been a fan of Anne Hathaway since The Princess Diaries. I think she is stunning, such a unique beauty, and I love seeing her all over the red carpet while promoting Les Mis. She is getting rave reviews for her performance, and from the clips I've seen and heard, I know she will be fabulous. As always! Good luck during award season, ladies!
Hottest Judging Musician: Adam Levine
There are so many hot musicians, and I don't feature enough of them on my blog, but Adam Levine has had an incredible year (well, few years) and it's time to show him some love. I'm not a devoted fan of The Voice, although I love the show when I do watch it, and seriously, Adam Levine is so hot. And funny. An genuine. And great with the contestants. And that dude can sing. I mean, who knew a song about a payphone could be so freaking sexy??? I just love all those tats, and the voice, and the hair, and the shirtless moves like Jagger, and the overall rock star vibe.
Surprise Obsessions: Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck
Well, I recently mentioned in my post about Bradley that I was never a huge fan (not cause of his looks, but cause of the characters he played), but my love for Silver Linings Playbook made him my latest obsession. I adored him in that movie and now his hotness has gone to a whole new level. Same with Ben Affleck. I don't know why, but I just wasn't a fan. After Good Will Hunting, I went down the path of Matt Damon and turned on Ben Affleck. Sorry Ben, I don't know why. But I have loved all the movies he's directed and also starred in, especially Argo, and I'm pleased to see it nominated for so many awards. He is clearly at the top of his game, and I kind of adore his relationship with Jennifer Garner. Plus, how can you not melt at the fact that Jennifer says he "excels" at "playing babydoll" with his girls Violet and Seraphina? Totally swoon-worthy. Consider me converted!
So, that's it. The last hottie post of the year. But I'll be back the first week of January with a new crop for 2013!
Gratuitous Henry Cavill.
posted on September 05, 2012 by
I was going to save the Henry Cavill post until Man of Steel was released, but since it's not coming out until NEXT YEAR, screw that! I'm not waiting that long! He has a movie coming out this weekend, The Cold Light of Day, so he deserves a post RIGHT NOW. And do I even need a reason to post pictures of Henry? Umm, no.
He's already been the subject of a few posts, including being one of our top picks to play Christian Grey! So let's just call this a gratuitous Henry Cavill post and we can enjoy it for what it is: pure hotness. And his new movie looks pretty good. But, to me, a shirtless, sweaty Henry Cavill totally equals a good movie!

If you attended a college or university outside of the US, you may be eligible for undergraduate transfer credit. Follow the steps below in order to have your foreign coursework reviewed for credit at UMSL.
STEP 1 – Apply for undergraduate admission
The transfer credit process can only be initiated for students who have been admitted to UMSL. Prospective international students can apply here. US Citizens or Permanent Residents with foreign coursework should apply through the Office of Admissions, but have their foreign credentials sent to International Student & Scholar Services.
STEP 2 – Submit course descriptions and final, official transcripts
Evaluations can only be done based on an official, final transcript. Students who were enrolled at another university at the time they applied to UMSL will need to submit a final transcript once all grades are posted. If a degree or credential was conferred, the degree certificate(s) may also be required.
Official, course descriptions in English are required for this process. Course descriptions are needed for each class under review. In order to be considered official, course descriptions must be:
- Submitted in an official envelope bearing the institution's stamp across the sealed flap
- Emailed directly to ISS from an official email address at the issuing institution
- Posted on the school's official website
- Please email the links to email@example.com
- Photocopied from an official school catalogue
- Please bring your original catalogue to our office for copying
NOTE: Documentation that is submitted as a part of the transfer credit process becomes a permanent part of the student's academic file. Original documents cannot be returned.
STEP 3 – Transfer credit evaluation
Academic Departments & Faculty Members Review Courses for Transfer Credit
The transfer credit evaluation can begin after [A] you have been admitted and have [B] submitted official course descriptions and final, official transcripts. The International Academic Advisor then forwards the course descriptions to the appropriate department for review. Please note that courses are evaluated by individual faculty members. The evaluation process can be time consuming and may take 2+ months to complete.
Students Track the Progress of their Transfer Using MyView or DARS
Students are responsible for monitoring the progress of their International Transfer Credit. You may track the progress of your transfer credit using MyView, but we recommend running a Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) report. The DARS report will show where transfer work has been applied toward your degree requirements. You can view and print your own DARS report using the My DARS Report link in the Academic Toolbox on your MyGateway page or by visiting https://cf.umsl.edu/webapps/ITS/Student/Dars/login.cfm.
If you need help generating or interpreting the report, click on the "Help" link located at the right hand side of the top of the Audit menu page. Should you need further information, visit the DARS website.
Admitted students can meet with an academic advisor in your department to register for classes, even if your transfer credit is still in progress. The advisors will be able to help you select suitable courses that will allow you to make progress towards your degree while you wait for your transfer credit to be evaluated.
Transfer Credit Complete
Grades of D or better earned in college-level work at an accredited or approved institution of higher education should receive full credit when transferred to UMSL. The University, however, will treat all grades in courses attempted on the same basis as those of an UMSL student. For example, if a program requires an UMSL student to repeat a specified course having earned a D grade, a transfer student will also be required to repeat the same course if it carries a D grade. Incomplete or failed courses cannot be considered for credit.
It is important to note that college-level credit has the potential to transfer to the University of Missouri - St Louis in one of four ways:
- DIRECT EQUIVALENCY: The credit will transfer in and be equal to a course offered here at UMSL.
- FREE ELECTIVE TRANSFER: The courses are considered for admission purposes, but do not apply to your UMSL degree in any way.
- UNACCEPTED TRANSFER CREDIT: The courses do not transfer and will not satisfy any degree requirements.
- HOURS EARNED: The class may not have an equivalent course taught at UMSL, but the student will receive an equal number of "elective" hours to count towards the total 120 required for graduation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Credential Evaluation Reports
- Do I need to get a credential evaluation report?
No. Unless a specific circumstance requires a third-party evaluation, UMSL conducts its own evaluations of foreign transcripts.
- Can I submit a credential evaluation report anyway?What if I have an extenuating circumstance that prevents me from obtaining an official transcript?
International Student Services will accept a "course-by-course" evaluation from World Education Services (WES) in place of official international transcripts and degree certificates. http://www.wes.org. If WES is unable to evaluate academic documents from your institution, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Do not independently select a different third-party evaluation service.
- What if I already have a credential evaluation from a company other than WES from before I applied to UMSL? Please contact the International Academic Advisor for Transfer Credit.
- Course Descriptions
- What is a course description?
A course description is a detailed description of what topics were studied in a course. For the purposes of foreign transfer credit, a course syllabus works best. Descriptions should be received in an official envelope bearing the institution's stamp across the sealed flap, emailed directly to ISS from the issuing institution, printed from an official school website, or photocopied from a school catalogue brought to our office. A sample course description is below:
- ANTHRO 2035 Ancient Greek Civilization and Culture (3)
A survey of the history, language, literature, art, science and philosophy of the ancient Greeks from prehistory to the Roman conquest. It covers the glamorous Minoan-Mycenaean civilization, the rise of a classical Greek civilization and the golden age, the history of the city states such as Athens and Sparta, and the Hellenistic period under Alexander the Great and his descents. Examines the nature of the ancient Greek language, surveys literary classics such as the Illiad and the Odyssey, and describes the archaeology of Greek myths based on the ongoing UMSL archaeological project in Greece. Discusses the rise of humanism, the ancient Olympic Games, and the legacy of ancient Greece in Western civilization.

- How can I appeal a transfer credit decision?
If you are dissatisfied with a determination made about the transfer of a course, there is an appeals process in place to allow you to contest the decision.
- Can graduate students transfer credits?
The process outlined above is for undergraduate students only. Graduate students seeking transfer credit from a college or university outside of the U.S. should contact the Coordinator of Academic Programs/Records for the Graduate School.

Before we received menus I asked if the nachos were GF and was told yes- we ordered them and got situated. A good 10 minutes before we got menus or water even though it was literally us an one other table. Nachos were not on the GF menu, and I asked why he said because they had chicken and cheese on them. We walked out then and there. Incompetent and unsafe.
had a great meal. this was my favorite place before my celiac and nice to know my family can still come here. GF menu, great food. didn't get sick at all.
Called to get information about GF and asked questions about food prep. I asked for a manager as the person on the phone couldn't answer my questions. The manager told me I should eat elswhere when I told her that food sharing the same fryer is not gluten free. Sent an email and was told that the "manager" I spoke with was a trainee that didn't really know about GF, that they are aware of cro ss contamination and are very careful. I'm not willing to take a chance since it appears that there isn't a lot of staff training.
Plenty of appetizers, salads, entrees
4515 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016
I had a very good experience. When I asked if the chips were gluten-free, the waiter said that they are corn chips, but fried in contaminated oil. So he definitely was aware of Celiac concerns. They also have soft corn tortillas for tacos and fajitas.
9811 Washingtonian Blvd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
I have been here many times and the service is normally wonderful. However, I have Celiac disease and the last time I went there they contaminated my food and I got VERY sick. I think maybe they are under new management or something.
9811 Washingtonian Blvd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
This place is great and has a sizable gf menu! Really attentive waiters are very accommodating. Yummy food!
9811 Washingtonian Blvd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
Amazing Tex-Mex. One of my favorite places to eat. Their Tamal de Elote for an appetizer is soooo good. For enteees, they will use corn tortillas but i always double check to make sure they are corn and not wheat. Some of the waiters/waitresses don't seem to "get it".

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 BMW Z4
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.5
The Z4 is BMW's version of the classic roadster. That is, its engine is in front, its drive wheels are in the rear, and its seats are limited to just you and perhaps one lucky passenger. Yet the Z4 is still a BMW through and through, which means you get not only an athletic drive experience, but the luxurious accommodations you'd expect from this German automaker. You can also make the argument that having a Z4 is like getting two cars in one. It's an open-air roadster, of course, and thanks to its standard retractable hardtop, the Z4 is also a sleek coupe. Like other BMWs, the Z4 is offered with a variety of engine choices and options that are only limited by the size of your checkbook.
If you want a roadster that's thrilling to drive and offers the security and sleek lines of a coupe with the roof raised, the Z4 with its BMW road-going dynamics and standard retractable hardtop make a tempting choice. That it is rated up to 34 mpg on the highway doesn't hurt, either.
The slightly shorter Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster has a starting price of more than $4,000 less than that of the Z4, and can also be had with more power in AMG form with a V8 engine. Those seeking more passenger room and practicality, meanwhile, may want to look at convertible versions of the BMW 1 or 3 Series, or the Audi A5 Cabriolet.
After last year's introduction of a powerful yet fuel-efficient 4-cylinder turbocharged engine in base models, the Z4 carries over unchanged for 2013 ahead of a mild refresh planned for the 2014 model year Z4.
No matter the road or even the driving condition, the 2013 BMW Z4 feels like a true reinvention of the classic sports car. What you might give up in everyday...
... practicality – or the limits of what you can store in the Z4's trunk – you gain in driving satisfaction. Even in base form with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the Z4 is plenty fast with a 0-60 mph time of about 5.5 seconds. Stepping up to the 6-cylinder models only quickens this car's acceleration times and, consequently, one's pulse. No matter your engine or transmission choice, the Z4 is an exceptionally satisfying car to pilot with excellent braking and steering feel. That it can transform from a sleek and cozy coupe to a wind-in-the-hair chariot in 20 seconds feels like icing on the cake.
What's better than having an open-air convertible for sunny days? Having a buttoned-down coupe for the rainy ones. With the Z4's power folding hardtop, you essentially get two cars in one that's ready for any condition and climate.
The engine in base Z4 models certainly doesn't feel "base." With 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, there's plenty of scoot in the sDrive28i trim. The smaller engine also results in fuel economy above 30-mpg in highway driving.
The bane of some roadsters is that while their headroom is measured in miles, the rest of the cabin's dimensions are not so fortunate. Driver and passenger are treated better in the Z4's cockpit, which feels more open and accessible. Base models are dressed in leatherette, while upper trims come standard with the real thing. Storage space behind the seats is a convenient spot for a purse or small bag. With a pass-through slot from the trunk compartment, you can bring your big club to the driving range. If there's one misstep, it's the fighter stick transmission in automatic-transmission models that can be confounding at first.
The Z4 is defined by a long hood, muscular rear fenders, and BMW's signature "twin kidney" grille up front. While just about every convertible looks good with the top down, the Z4 is one of the few whose aesthetics are equally as impressive top-up. Credit this to the Z4's retracting hardtop. When in the roof position, the Z4 passes as a voluptuous little coupe. Aside from nomenclature markings and the placement of the twin exhaust tips, the three trims are distinguished by slightly different front fascias highlighted by a polished grille in 6-cylinder models.
Even a base Z4, dubbed the sDrive28i, comes well-equipped. Among the standard features are 8-way power seats, bright xenon headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. One particularly cool – and important – safety feature are adaptive brake lights that emit a larger, brighter light the harder you press the brake pedal. The aim is to give a stronger visual cue to drivers behind you who may not realize you're braking hard. On the audio front, there is an AM/FM/CD/HD Radio with auxiliary input and iPod adapter. Top-line models receive premium audio system as standard, along with leather, a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and 18-inch wheels. All 2013 Z4 models have BMW Ultimate Service that includes complimentary maintenance for 4 years/50,000 miles and roadside assistance for 4 years/unlimited miles.
From a heated steering wheel to high-intensity headlight washers, upgrades are beyond plentiful for the 2013 Z4. Among the more popular ones that can be had in packages are navigation, 10-way power seats, and a premium sound system. For those who want to up the performance ante, the M Sport Package that's standard on sDrive35is models can be fitted on the two lower trims and includes an adaptive suspension, increased top-speed limiter, performance run-flat tires, and anthracite headliner. Keep in mind that option packages can easily add several thousand dollars to the Z4's price tag – choosing metallic paint alone adds over $500.
The 2013 Z4 is available in three potencies. Choices are a 240-horsepower 4-cylinder engine or a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder tuned to either 300 or 335 horsepower. All use BMW's TwinPower turbo technology and direct injection for immediate and gratifying throttle response. Transmission choices are a 6-speed manual, an 8-speed automatic, or a 7-speed double-clutch automatic, with the latter being the only option in top-end sDrive35is models. All Z4s are rear-wheel drive and use premium fuel.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Z4 sDrive28i)
240 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm
260 lb-ft of torque @ 1,250-4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/34 mpg (manual), 22/33 mpg (automatic)
3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 (Z4 sDrive35i)
300 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm
300 lb-ft of torque @ 1,400-5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/26 mpg (manual), 17/24 mpg (automatic)
3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 (Z4 sDrive35is)
335 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm
332 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 mpg (automatic)

"I bought my Z435i bmer on December of 2010 with 5000 miles on it. It's got the sports package, navigation, and is blk on blk. I have it as a second car, not as a commuter. The car's only issue has been a small leak in one of the folding top joints, which was quickly and successfully repaired by the dealer back in 2012. It drives like new, and even after five years, people comment on it."

"Since the mid-sixties I have owned several roasters up to the present including a 1997 Z3 5 speed soft top that ran trouble free all the years I drove it. In 2011 I traded it for a new BMW (E93) 335is coupe/convertible needing extra room for the wife and two Jack Russell Terriers. In the interim I missed having an open air roaster hence the Z4 35is factory direct in Glacier Silver that now has 2600 miles. The Z4 drives and handles superbly retaining all the qualities of an open air roaster. So if you're not into stiff suspensions and road tire nose so common to roasters this is not the car for you. Don't get me wrong these are great cars, well built and my BMW dealer stands behind it. But it's still a roadster and not a car for those who are more interested in technology and ride comfort unwilling to compromise for the open road this vehicle excels at, it's made to be driven. This is what a sports car should be."

"Most fun I've had with any car I've owned including a number of Porsches and BMW M3's. Hard top gives you great security unlike a soft-top convertible. The ability to adjust the driving dynamics means the car is a great highway cruiser and instantly switch to a very competent, fast sports car that will easily keep up with other high end sports cars. There are very few of these on the road so it gets a lot of looks. Lot of people give it a thumbs up or say that it's a great ride. Expensive when bought new but a great deal when purchased on a used basis. Life doesn't get any better than cruising thru Napa or Sonoma County on a warm day with the top down."

"Bought this new in 2009, have 42K miles and after six years there has been no problem. There was no issue with the fuel pump but had to be replaced because of the recall, as well as the battery cable. This is a conv so there will always be noisy in the cabin with the top up. Drive 95% of the time with the top down. Replace the run flat with Michelin PSS, this really changed how the car runs and handles for so much better. Highly recommended."

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Poor Quality
Pros: "Great driving experience on good roads"
Cons: "Terrible build quality and BMW support"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I bought this car a few years back and put about 45,000 miles on it. This is a sports car. You feel every inch of the road and when the road is good, this is a great thing. When the roads are rough, this is a bad, very bad thing. The interior of the car is well laid out and comfortable, but I would not say it is luxurious. The seats are great for long drives and overall feel of the car is high end. The real issue with the car is that because it is a sports car, it gets banged around a great deal over rough roads. In the last year, one strut cracked, a wheel cracked, the top stopped working, the muffler started to rattle and the climate control began to buzz. This is all with less than 50k miles. It was monumental struggle to get BMW to cover the wheel (which had already been recalled in the UK)and strut under warranty and they flat out refused to cover the top, muffler and climate control saying they were all normal wear products. The convertible top? Anyway, sold it this week and bought a Mercedes SL550."

"I purchased my '10 Z4 with 5K miles on in 2010; it has the sports package, leather, navigation, and 7speeds. I have it as a second vehicle. I love the way this car handles, its design is timeless, and after 5 years it turns heads. Not to mention that it is not a high volume seller, and so it is also rather exclusive. I have had a couple of minor issues with it: one of the headlights had to be replaced and the roof leaked once during a heavy storm. Both problems were quickly and successfully resolved by the dealer. I love convertibles, but hate the vulnerability and rather short life of the soft tops. Hard top mechanisms have proved to be reliable so far."

Kim Kardashian goes space-age blonde for a Barbarella-inspired ad campaign for her self-designed Divinity Collection of Beach Bunny Swimwear.
"This collection incorporates everything I love in a bikini… shimmer, animal print, side ties in the bottoms," Kardashian, 30, blogged this week. "I even designed a gorgeous chiffon tunic, because every girl needs a fab cover up for the beach."
In the ad, Kim dons a curly blond wig, an itty-bitty white bikini, and matching knee-high laced-up boots while holding onto an astronaut's helmet.The shoot was inspired by Jane Fonda's 1968 film Barbarella, in which the Hollywood legend plays a super-sexy sci-fi Galaxy Gal.

I love a good chili, and this one's a real keeper. The honey, cocoa and oregano in the sauce makes it taste completely unique- I love it. I also added two chopped serrano peppers because I just can't make a chili without it being devilishly hot. The feta and olives were also the perfect finish. I actually left out the noodles completely though, and just served the chili with pita chips like one would serve a traditional chili with crackers.
We love this recipe! The spices and cocoa make the sauce especially good. Thanks for posting!
