The new landmark, which will be built with private funding, is in an ideal location at the edge of campus, near parking, the Walter Pyramid and the Carpenter Center. The facility will include a grand welcome lobby, conference and banquet rooms, a board room, a library, alumni showcase lounge, a historical room, 49er Heritage Room, a courtyard, a Greek Row wing and alumni staff offices.
Anna came here as an international student from Hong Kong and loved her experience at Cal State Long Beach.
"I hope that the purpose of the alumni center provides an opportunity to engage and get together. Last year when I came to campus for a reunion, there was no place to meet. We met in the parking lot. The reunion had an impact on me. When we have a reunion again it will be in the alumni center," said Anna, who earned a B.S. in finance and business administration in 1974 and supported the project with a lead gift.
"The reunion brought back so many great memories. I run into lots of alumni in the community and even overseas. In fact, my daughter's principal is an alumnus."
"I was fortunate to be an international student. It was the best four years of my life. I still have great memories and great friends. It's a beautiful country and a beautiful city. I just loved this place as soon as I arrived," Anna said. "We were always very fortunate to be successful and always thought we wanted to give back to my school. It has always been on my mind but I didn't know what to do."
She said it was not her intention to give to the alumni center, but realized its value to the university in terms of engaging alumni participation.
"I wanted to do something and thought this would be good. This is a great project and I'm fortunate to be a part of this. I wanted to show people that even international students should give back," she said. "Higher education is very important and everyone should be able to get the education they want. Everything I have started here. It gave me education and a base for what I have.
"I think to be a happy person is to find ways to make other people happy. That's what I go by. I hope this helps do that."

In TRON: Uprising, Tron disappared after Clu's betrayal and took up the identity of the mysterious Rinzler to resist capture from Clu's forces. Unlike in TRON: Legacy, the name Rinzler was given to Tron after Clu repurposed him following the coup d'etat against Kevin Flynn.
Was Tron somehow discovered and repurposed by Clu after the events of Uprising, and ironically given the same name he used in hiding?
Is this the truth, or is the subject more of the non-canonical information given in TRON: Uprising? Please leave a comment with your answer, concern, or opinion.

Let's See What This Chicago Is All About…
You may have heard some buzzin' on the Facebook page, and it's true, Vida Vegan is considering Chicago for the Spring 2013 Conference.
We'll be in town January 21-24 to check out event spaces and let Janessa and Jess get a feel for the city. Michele was lucky to grow up there, so yes, we know how unbelievably horrible the weather can be. We just need to make a decision soon, so the time is now.
So…whatcha think? We'd love to go to a new city each year, and Chicago is the easiest one for us, after Portland. We've heard the calls for the Southeast Asia conference, but I think we're a few years from there just yet.
If any of y'all VVC'ers are in town, we're putting together a little meetup Sunday, the 22nd, for what else but pizza! Meet us at for lunch at 1:00 pm at The Boiler Room. Totally casual, we'll just give them a little heads-up that they best get their vegan cheese at the ready. Here's the Facebook event we set up, with a map & stuff!

I really want to go to Chicago and I'm definitely going to every VVC until I die, so I think this would be perfect!
Chicago is doable. Anywhere on the East Coast would be convenient for me, too. If you're thinking Midwest, Kansas City is vegan-friendly and way cooler than you think.
Chicago makes sense — easy to get to and central (for North Americans) — hope it is as vegan friendly as Portland!
I vote for Austin, TX one day — never been but hear it's vegan scene is awesome.
Can't wait 'til you announce dates for '13!
+1 for Chicago; much closer to us 🙂
Chicago would be awesome and wee bit closer than Portland (as I am in NC). A new city each year rocks…I hope you all are able to settle the details 🙂
YES CHICAGO!! Please!! I've never been there, and this gives me an excuse 🙂
I also support JL's suggestion of Austin for year 3! Yay!!
What about somewhere warm – its going to be FREEZING!
Would have loved to join the meeting last January 22nd, but too bad we missed it. We're definitely excited about the Spring 2013 Conference in Chicago though. Can you provide as an information on how to join? Thanks!

Topic: Lovely visit with Marion and Karen
I just wanted to tell everyone that I got to meet Marion and Karen today!!! Marion is in Philadelphia for a conference/seminar and Karen lives not too too far from Philadelphia. So we met for dinner today.
I hate Philly traffic so I took the train right to the door of the hotel and off we went to an outside seating restaurant. Why Marion wanted to breathe Philly's nice "clean" air is beyond me!
I'm so glad we got to meet. They are great women who have been through a lot. And I really admire Marion for all the hard work she does for this foundation.
Thanks to both of you ladies for a wonderful time.

PCL notes: Wacha gonna do for Cards?
Club's No. 4 prospect finding success in first Triple-A action
By Chris Jackson / Special to MLB.com | May 6, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Michael Wacha was still pitching at Texas A&M at this time last year, trying to win the Big 12 title and lead the Aggies into the NCAA Tournament.
Now he finds himself trying to help the Memphis Redbirds win the American North Division title.
"It's been a crazy past year, that's for sure," Wacha said. "I'm just happy to be here. I'm just trying to take advantage of the opportunity being able to pitch here in this league."
Wacha has taken advantage and then some, going 3-0 with a 1.82 ERA in six starts.
The Cardinals drafted Wacha with the No. 19 selection in last season's First-Year Player Draft. He threw a total of 21 innings over three levels last summer, but after an outstanding Spring Training St. Louis opted to send him straight to Triple-A.
"Obviously he's good enough to do it," Memphis manager Pop Warner said. "He's just composed, the guy's just mature beyond his years. This is the first time I saw him. He just carries himself right.
"(He's) driven, competes really well and obviously he's pretty polished with his stuff. Combine all that and you've got a pretty good player on your hands."
Wacha utilizes a 90-93 mph fastball with good sink, though he can get up to 94-97. His changeup was considered the best of any player in last year's Draft.
"Fastball and changeup have been feeling really good these last few starts," Wacha said ahead of his Sunday start. "Hopefully just building off that and keep working on my other secondary pitch, the curveball, in bullpens and side sessions. So hopefully that becomes an effective pitch here later on this season."
Wacha said he is fully aware that the Pacific Coast League can be unforgiving for pitchers over the course of a long season. Every pitcher needs a plan to survive, he added.
"One of the main things is just throwing strikes," Wacha said. "In my previous starts, I had a little trouble with a little bit of command and stuff. It's just the main point, going out there and throwing strikes, keeping the ball low and forcing them to hit ground balls. That will take care of the ballpark situation.
"Not allowing free baserunners is one of the big deals. Just try not to nibble the strike zone."
Wacha is ranked as MLB.com's No. 4 Cardinals prospect, just behind teammates Oscar Taveras (No. 1) and Kolten Wong (No. 3).
"There's tons of talent on this team," Wacha said. "Kolten and Oscar, I mean, those guys are unbelievable players. It's crazy, it's just so much fun watching them play the game."
In brief
Floundering first-rounders: Things have not gone as well for former first-round picks Kyle Skipworth (2008) and Jacob Turner (2009) with New Orleans. Skipworth played in three games with the Marlins in April, but after being sent down, he has spent time on the disabled list and is batting just .143 (2-for-14) with two RBIs. Turner has gone 1-3 with a 5.76 ERA in six starts.
Adapting well: The Dodgers made the call to convert 2007 first-rounder Chris Withrow to being a full-time reliever late last season. So far this year, Withrow has gone 2-0 for Albuquerque and has not allowed a run in 10 ⅓ innings. He has 14 strikeouts in nine appearances with the Isotopes.
Flying back into first: Sacramento (17-13) is once again back in first place in the Pacific South Division, and three former first-round picks have a lot to do with it. Shortstop/designated hitter Jemile Weeks (2008) has hit .288 with 24 runs scored and 13 RBIs. Second baseman Grant Green (2009) has batted .313 with four homers and 16 RBIs. Right-hander Sonny Gray (2010) has gone 3-1 with a 2.61 ERA in five starts.

Weinergate: Do Men Who Cheat WANT to Get Caught?
Is sloppy cyber cheating just a way of getting out of a marriage?
-Melissa Chapman
Forget about Congressman Anthony Weiner — he made his bed, and now he's got to take his medicine. While he didn't have actual physical relations with another woman, he had what most of us married women find much more intimate and gut-wrenching: emotional affairs of the heart. He engaged in phone calls, texts, and in a nutshell online adultery with a slew of other women. Just because he didn't put his actual wiener in another woman, does it make what he did any less offensive and damaging to his wife and the sanctity of their marriage?
I asked my husband this very question — and then immediately laid down the law and explained to him that under no circumstances would "chatting, sexting or sending pictures of his male parts" to random women on the Internet ever be tolerated.
I asked him, "Why do men think it's OK to sext and cheat online?"
And this is what he said, "Because it's forbidden, it's exciting, it's the idea that you're doing something without any physical consequences. You can't get someone pregnant or catch a venereal disease via a text or tweet."
And I guess I get it — but really, hasn't Weiner been in this political game long enough to realize that any tweet, sext or online escapade will come back to haunt him? And he does this with a pregnant wife a home to boot?
Of course politicians aren't the only men to engage in these types of online infidelities — the women on the receiving end are just as much to blame. That old saying "it takes two to tango" is true — you can't engage in a one-sided affair. In fact, I've recently found out about several acquaintances whose own marriages have been torn to bits by this very kind of unfaithful behavior on the part of a spouse. And yet it always seems like said spouses, by leaving on a computer screen with a particular message, or "accidentally" tweeting a picture, is almost looking to get caught. It seems as if their careless behavior is simply a way to get out of their circumstances — to almost put the onus of having to expunge their activity on the unassuming partner.
And really in my opinion that's just the coward's way out. If you feel the need for a thrill, you want to be with someone else … don't sneak around — tell your spouse you're unhappy and leave … am I right?
