Whitemoon648: Looking much better The blink is somewhat sharp though, aren't there any more frames for the animation? Yakumo is a nice character too and adding a border earns extra points, so 8.0 (extra 0.5 point because I like the dual border, it works well) this time Smoother animation would = higher score though.
And for your question: I don't I use a manual method of adding borders, like a lot of others here. Assuming you use photoshop: Add new layer. CTRL+A to select all. Edit Menu -> Stroke. Pick a colour (I used green to match her hair), set it to 3px and hit ok. Now Edit Menu -> Stroke again. This time use black and 1px to add the thin black border outside the coloured border. You could also do some tricks with rounded selections to make the corners rounded and other neat things
Xellos: Is that a spot of Shoujo-ai there? Or just a very feminine looking boy? Nice either way. 8/10
And she's Alice-chan from Aria The Animation, one of my favourite series ever. If you like slow and gentle slice of life anime, you'll like Aria. Hell, there's plenty to like even if you're not a fan of that type

Shini_GamI: Well, that is just the cover from the Shinigami no Ballad Single. It has no border, lacks quality... but it has Momo ^__^ SuperBiasRating (+3). 8/10
Number 48: Pic quality falls abruptly but the efford on the border grant the avatar to be sufficient. 6/10
Azami: I'm against small avatars, and I'm for matching av/sign. My opinion is that you could have cropped the sign differently in a squarish way to have a normal 100x100 av. As it is, 6/10
Cyz: Plain, but very smooth and shiny. 8,5/10
Radiosity: Cute but, sort of "foggish". Did you use some tool to brigthen it a bit (I don't know, like contrasts or levels adjustments)? Also, the eyes do close a tad too fast, in the motion. Nice work on the borders and soothing result all in all. 7/10
Whitemoon648: Poor Yakumo ^^ .. the crop is bad (no chin), the avatar size is small, and the border is too thick. Not to mention, the animation is jumpy and makes "Yakumo the Sweetness" look silly. Lot of room to improve ^^ 4,5/10
Xellos-_^: Is that what is called "indirect kiss" ? Well, that''ll becom direct pretty soon though! . Suggestion: a thinner border will do better. Bonus for keeping your usual .. ehrm.. "style" 8/10
NightWish: D'oh, at first glance, it looks the same of Radiosity's av Very clean pic. Can't tell who she is but I like the dreamy face and the good quality. 8/10

And no, I didn't use any 'enhancements' at all, that's just how the quality of the source was.
And I've fixed up the closing animation now, should be much smoother and only adds a few extra k to the size, so WIN

Reality fiction: a review of What You See in the Dark
What You See in the Dark: A Novel
Manuel Muñoz
272 pages, hardcover: $23.95.
Algonquin Books, 2011.
It's 1959, and the shiny façade of America's white culture is beginning to tarnish. Schools are being desegregated and black people are starting to march in the streets of the South. There's an "unsavory mixing of whites and Mexicans" in California nightclubs. Young men "of a certain type" are migrating to San Francisco. And Alfred Hitchcock is about to inflict moral mayhem on the movie industry, and on his viewers, by filming the murder of a naked woman in a shower.
Hitchcock ("The Director)" wanders into Manuel Muñoz's novel, What You See in the Dark, in Bakersfield, Calif., seeking a motel location for his new movie, Psycho. And Muñoz crafts his hybrid story, an artful blend of fiction and history, around the making of that famous film. "He (Hitchcock) was in the midst of doing something extraordinary and uncanny with some actresses, finessing their star wattage and burnishing it into a singular, almost iconic image."
Analogous to "The Director" and "The Actress" (Janet Leigh) are two ordinary people. Teresa Garza and Dan Watson are small-town lovers. She wants to be a famous singer; he directs her nightclub debut. Their relationship ends with her brutal murder: "The stairwell up to her apartment had a side wall smeared in blood. ..."
Muñoz's skillful use of second-person point-of-view in the opening and final chapters gives the story a cinematic feel -- you can almost hear the soundtrack as Candy, Teresa's co-worker, searches for her: "She's there, that girl. You looked for her among the faces surrounding the bathroom mirrors, but she was nowhere to be found. But you know she's there. ..." Candy also judges: She can't imagine how "that skinny brown girl who lived above the bowling alley" managed to snag "the most handsome man in town." The rest of the novel is told from a third-person point of view. It's an unusual approach, but the shift works.
With his debut novel, Muñoz knits a complex web of storylines into one smooth narrative, pulling the reader through backstory, action and multiple perspectives with the subtlety of a literary master -- or even a film director.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is meeting with three winners of a campaign contest and their guests for dinner at a restaurant in a popular Washington neighborhood.
Obama's motorcade took him to Smith Commons Dining Room and Public House on Friday in the city's H Street neighborhood, which has undergone redevelopment in recent years. He was having dinner with supporters from North Carolina, Ohio and Colorado, three battleground states in next month's election.
The dinner was part of the campaign's "Dinner with Barack" series offering meals with the president to boost online contributions for the 2012 campaign.
Obama's special dinner guests were Kimberley Cathey of Greensboro, N.C., and her husband, Ron; Mario Orosa of North Canton, Ohio, and his wife, Deidra; and Joe Laliberte of Colorado Springs, Colo., and his mother, Patti.

WRs fearless predictions: Nebraska
Having trouble picking the Nebraska-Northwestern game? Not our staff.
We go out on a limb to break down the matchup and make our fearless predictions.
George "The Glad Hungarian" Stoichev
Northwestern wins if… Northwestern wins if… They establish the run early and often, then use play action to further keep UNL off balance. NU can't let UNL get into a rhythm defensively.
Northwestern loses if…They allow UNL to establish a balanced attack. If NU can limit Nebraska to one dimension, they'll be there at the end. If they are beaten by passes down the field for quick scores, it will get ugly.
The bottom line… The Huskers are coming in just a little too angry for my liking. It could work against them, but I think they put it together in the end.
Prediction Nebraska 35, Northwestern 31
Danny "Less Is" Moran
Northwestern wins if… They can force Taylor Martinez into an interception. He is currently the Big Ten's leading passer but has thrown all of his four interceptions in the team's two losses.
Northwestern loses if… They handle Nebraska's front four. The Cornhuskers are averaging 3.5 sacks per game, which leads the Big Ten. If the Wildcats can't keep the defensive line out of their backfield, their run game won't get going and Northwestern has no chance.
The bottom line: I think this game could have some similarities to the classic Northwestern-Michigan game from 2000. There are dynamic players on both offenses. The Nebraska defense was awful the last time they played a dual-threat QB (Braxton Miller) and their run defense has struggled in general this season. Northwestern's run defense had been alright until last week when MarQueis Gray tore them up when he was in at quarterback. Both teams should take their turn marching up the field but Northwestern will have last possession and the last word.
Prediction: Northwestern 45 Nebraska 44
Larry "Kilo" Watts
Northwestern wins if… It comes out and hits the deep ball to open up the running game and the defense can come up with some key turnovers.
Northwestern loses if… If the secondary doesn't play its best game of the year and the offense doesn't sustain any drives in order to give its defense some rest.
The bottom line… Having a huge chip on its shoulder from last year is one thing, but having two weeks to prepare for the Cats gives the Huskers a big advantage. QB Martinez (66 percent passing, 5.0 ypc) is having his best year running the Nebraska option. RBs Rex Burkhead (9.1 ypc), if healthy, and Ameer Abdullah (6.0 ypc) can really punish a defense. Abdullah is also capable of big returns on special teams while receivers Kenny Bell and Jamal Turner will be big tests for the Cats' secondary.Prediction Nebraska 34, Northwestern 17.
Louie "C.K." Vaccher
Northwestern wins if… The defense doesn't give up big plays in the passing game. Northwestern will be in good shape if its bend-but-don't-break defense is able to make the Huskers run 10 or more plays to score. Do that, and the often butter-fingered Huskers are more likely to turn the ball over or make a mistake to put them behind the chains.
Northwestern loses if… The offense plays as inconsistently as it has the last two weeks. Kain Colter & Co. need to convert third downs to sustain drives and keep that high-powered Husker offense off the field.
The bottom line: I think this is going to be a close game -- a game that could be decided by things like special teams and turnovers. With Jeff Budzien (11-for-11 on FGs) and Venric Mark (28.8-yd avg., 2 TDs on punt returns), NU has the edge on special teams; and the Wildcats are plus-5 in turnover margin, while Nebraska is minus-6, worst in the Big Ten. Plus, Northwestern has No. 2 (Colter), who gave the Huskers fits last season, and Nebraska has No. 3 (Martinez), who tends to turn the ball over at critical times. I'll go with the guy in black.
Prediction: Northwestern 33 Nebraska 31

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's interim president chose the outgoing housing minister, a construction magnate from the era of ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, as his new prime minister on Tuesday, some two months ahead of key presidential elections.
The switch from veteran economist Hazem el-Beblawi to Ibrahim Mehlib, who successfully led Egypt's biggest construction company for a decade, appeared orchestrated to give Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the country's military chief, a window for a quieter street after a spike in labor strikes with the potential of triggering wider unrest.
El-Sissi overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July and backed el-Beblawi's government through tumultuous times, including a heavy crackdown on Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, and a nationwide referendum that adopted a new constitution while Islamic militant insurgency and terror attacks surged.
With his presidential bid almost certain, el-Sissi must leave the military to run for president. However, a senior government official said the 59-year-old soldier will retain his defense minister's post in the next Cabinet. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press.
"There is a need for a fresh face to deal with the strikes," said Mohammed Aboul Ghar, head of the Egyptian Social Democratic party, from which el-Beblawi hails. "El-Beblawi was supposed to stay for two more months but the strikes propelled a speed-up in pushing through the changes."
A change of government before the presidential vote would also spare el-Sissi the disruption associated with forming a new one if he becomes president, a near certainty given his sweeping popularity and the relative weakness of his rivals — likely a leftist politician and a retired general.
The surprise resignation of el-Beblawi's Cabinet and its swift replacement also reflects that the country' economic woes are enough to daunt anyone who fills the land's highest office.
However since Mubarak's ouster in a 2011 uprising, persistent turmoil has sapped investment and tourism, draining the country of its main sources of foreign currency. The military's removal of Morsi and the subsequent street violence have deepened the country's economic woes.
While the anti-Islamist oil-rich Gulf countries have poured in billions of dollars in grants and loans to keep the country's economy afloat, tens of thousands of textile workers, doctors, pharmacists and even policemen have gone on strike in recent days. Schools and universities had their mid-year break extended by a month because of concerns over the security situation and the spread of swine flu.
Minutes after news broke that he had been chosen prime minister, Mehlib told reporters his cabinet members will be "holy warriors" in the service of Egyptians. He said that his top priority is to improve living standards, combat terrorism and restore security. This, he said, would pave the way for presidential elections.
"God willing, the presidential elections will pass and will take place in proper conditions of safety, security, transparency," he said, adding, "the priority is to work day and night ... anyone in the cabinet will be a holy warrior to achieve the goals of the people."
When asked about the strikes, Mehlib said that excessive labor demands can "topple the state."
Labor official and activist Kamal Abbas saw a positive sign in the resignation of el-Beblawi's government "in response to the strikes," but added that workers will wait and see what the new one will bring.
"This is an example of failed response to the strikes. Instead of sending the buses, why don't you talk to the workers and when negotiations fail, talk again until we reach a solution," said Abbas.
The military, meanwhile, sought to head off a backlash over the strike by public transport workers, sending its own buses to ferry passengers across the capital. "This is to lighten the suffering of citizens and the harm caused by the strikes," said a statement posted on the Facebook page of military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali.
Mehlib, the prime minister-designate, has a reputation for being a hard worker and a successful chief executive of several large companies. Born in 1949, he is a graduate of Cairo University's school of engineering. He rose through the ranks of the construction conglomerate Arab Contractors to become its chief executive for 11 years before resigning in 2012. He worked in Saudi Arabia for one year before he returned to become housing minister under el-Beblawi.
Mubarak appointed him to the upper house of parliament, a toothless consultative body called the Shura Council, in 2010. He was also a senior member of Mubarak's now-dissolved National Democratic Party.
In a separate development, courts on Tuesday sentenced 220 mostly Morsi supporters to up to seven years imprisonment for instigating violence and holding protests without a permit. Three courts in the port city of Alexandria issued the verdicts in separate cases, all related to street protests.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday vacated an August ruling that allowed Bank of New York Mellon (BONY) to maintain priority over former customers of Sentinel Management Group to funds it to loaned Sentinel and potentially put BONY on the hook for $312 million in clawbacks from the 2007 Sentinel bankruptcy.
Sentinel had secured loans of up to $580 million from BONY using collateral that was transferred out of customer segregated accounts prior to the August 2007 bankruptcy. BONY was both a custodial bank for Sentinel as well as its creditor. After Sentinel filed for bankruptcy Sentinel bankruptcy trustee Fred Grede sued BONY in district court challenging the secured position of the loans it made to Sentinel and attempting to place customer claims in front of the BONY claims.
The Sentinel trustee lost that case but appealed in 2011 and this August a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit ruled to uphold the lower court's ruling. Shortly thereafter Grede filed a petition asking the entire Seventh Circuit to examine the case.
The brief Nov. 30 ruling stated, "The opinion of this court issued on August 9, 2012, is WITHDRAWN and the judgment is VACATED. This appeal remains under consideration by the panel."
Grede says, "We are back to where we were a year ago."
The Sentinel bankruptcy case is more than five years old and the trustee has managed to return approximately 35% of funds to all customers. In addition to the case with BONY, Grede is awaiting a judgment in another case where he is seeking to clawback funds from former Sentinel customers who received a 70% allocation just prior to the bankruptcy filing. Grede had also reached a settlement with Citadel, which purchased securities from Sentinel at a signifcant discount just prior to the bankruptcy filing.
Grede had argued that the Commodity Exchange Act applies to BONY and that their claims to funds should not have been put in front of those of customers.
The court ruled against the trustee's claims of fraudulent transfer and equitable subordination of the bank's claim.
In its August ruling the three-judge panel noted, "Perhaps the bank should have known that Sentinel violated segregation requirements, but as the district court found, 'such a lack of care does not rise to the level of the egregious misconduct necessary for equitable subordination.'"
Now the entire Seventh Circuit can look at it again.

What we collect
"… there must come vast social change in the United States; a change not violent, but by the will of the people certain and inexorable; carried out 'with malice toward none but charity for all'; with meticulous justice to the rich and complete sympathy for the poor, the sick and the ignorant; with freedom and democracy for America, and on earth Peace, Good Will toward men."
W.E.B. Du Bois, Chicago, June 29, 1951
In pursuit of our mission, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects materials of enduring historical and cultural value relating to four major thematic areas: the history and experience of social change in America; the histories and cultures of New England with an emphasis on Massachusetts; innovation and entrepreneurship; and the broad community associated with the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our collections are highly integrated and span all formats, including personal papers and organizational records, books and periodicals, maps, photographs, audio and video recordings, and digital materials of all kinds.
Our approach to collecting
Echoing the philosophy of W.E.B. Du Bois, SCUA collects original materials that document the histories and experiences of social change in America and the organizational, intellectual, and individual ties that unite disparate struggles for social justice, human dignity, and equality. Our decision to adopt social change as a collecting focus emerged from considering one of Du Bois's great insights: that the most fundamental issues in social justice are so deeply interconnected that no movement — and no solution to social ills — can succeed in isolation. Rather than focus on individual movements, we therefore focus on the connections between and among movements and the flow of people, organizations, and ideas, all in the hope of better representing the true histories of social engagement in America and laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of the experience of social change.
A related feature of SCUA's approach to collecting is our commitment to documenting "whole lives and whole communities." Rather than focus just on a person's "significant" actions or ideas, our goal is to represent the person's entire life in all its complexity: the person's background, the events themselves, and the aftermath, as well as the range of colleagues and organizations engaged. Our goal is not to highlight simply the great achievements and great people, but to reveal the broad underpinnings of influences, interests, and organizations that shaped them and the communities in which they operated.
While not exhaustive, the following is a synopsis of the primary focal points for SCUA's collections:
Social change
Emphasizing the cross-fertilization between social movements and centers of activist energy, SCUA collects materials from individuals and organizations involved in the struggles for peace and non-violence, social and racial justice, economic justice, agricultural reform, environmentalism, sustainability, alternative energy, organized labor, gay rights, disability rights, spiritual activism, antinuclear activism, and intentional communities. Our collections branch out to include anti-fluoridation activism, campaigns for voting rights and clean elections, community and charitable organizations, and the history of revolutionary-era Europe (1789-1848).
- African and African American history and culture: The history of race and ethnicity in America, with particular emphasis on the struggle for racial equality and social justice.
- Agriculture, horticulture, botany: Including agricultural science and practice, horticulture, animal husbandry, natural history, organic farming, sustainable living, and heritage breeds.
- Antifluoridation movement: Including right-wing, left-wing, libertarian, popular, and scientific opposition to fluoridation of public water supplies.

Peter wrote:why to we always assume that peace is the natural progression for us and that an alien visitor would be peaceful, they just might as easlily decide that the arguing humans were the only ones on the planet that were devloped.
Yes... and this goes back to what I said in a previous post: it has even been suggested that we have evolved to argue (and we like to win) and not necessarily to be rational. It is whatever you decide what is right. One might decide to give up on thinking (or not focus on it) to solve problems in a diplomatic way (and an alien may not even hold this concept) and, instead, act according to the proverbial "survival of the fittest" code.
But in a world full of rules, where laws are enforced, and where certain concepts and illusions are promulgated, we don't have much choice. The ultimate way of living will be a consensus one (and even this one will have conflicts). If one wants change, one must strive for it. Becoming a politician in the system that we have is a start but one that many abhor.
Many of us like to winge about the world but the minute someone suggests that we do something about it via the proper channels (instead of protests) we are quickly put off.
But then again, it is also important to have focus and recognise what is important. Why bother with arguments and waste your energy when you can focus on being happy with what you have and who you love? In the end, consider what is productive. Sometimes being argumentative isn't the best method. There are other subtler ways. Check out work published by Dale Carnegie. Now that is a man using his brain, or, more precisely, using his knowledge on psychology to get ahead. As I said before, things are not black and white... so many grey areas!!
Peter wrote:Budda might also be considered an oddity and his followers the same, there are so many assumptions that to me are leading to a dead end. Science has followed one path, if we were to look back could we find minds that had different views but never got the funding or exposure to lead us in another direction.
I think as far as aliens are concerned we are really looking for some other version of ourselves and not aliens, I am not sure we can even imagine what an alien might look or be like
Buddha is whatever you make of him. Sure, as the story goes, he had followers and they are still around today. The picture they paint of him is one that is quite remarkable. According to this picture, Mr. Gautama would encourage people not to follow him, but, instead, use his example to find their way - meaning that they wouldn't have to necessarily do what the man himself was doing.
But I can understand where the philosophy of the Buddha is coming from. He realised, through meditation, that the self is an illusion and that one can achieve a state of non-being, which, and he is spot on there, the closer you get to it, the more blissful it gets as conceptual reality disappears and you still your mind. I have reached states like these, and, although they may have only lasted for a split second...it was worth it.
Even Buddhism has been corrupted since the time of Buddha. There is a lot of mysticism that comes with it in its various forms, but, in its purest form, if you heed the story, the little prince was curious about the nature of reality and he was an excellent observer. Eventually he arrived at the conclusion that it is all mind. This means that everything we experience is a mental model. It is the first reli... ahem... philosophy (I don't consider it a religion) to acknowledge that reality can't be directly observed.
In fact, if you think about it, no creature holds the "true" picture of what the external world really looks like. You have to use mind projection... there is no other way. A bee might detect more colours in nature (wavelengths of light) than a human, a dog's vision is inferior but their sense of smell is highly developed, a bat relies on sound and so on. In fact, you could say that the colours we see are the codes made up by our neurons in order to describe different wavelengths of light. We are dealing with an electrical universe here...
On aliens: we can study carbon-based life and how it behaves here on Earth and then attempt to deduce, from observation, on what aliens might look like. Maybe they take up many forms according to the many different environments they dwell in. I wouldn't limit our imagination though, because, we can even imagine that which we have never encountered: a flying pig, a talking crocodile, a chicken with teeth...
There have been many depictions, however: Predator, Aliens, The Faculty, The Invaders, Independence Day... and The Darkest Hour - where the aliens are practically invisible to us! who knows, we might not even recognise alien life when we see it! Check out this trailer:

By ZACK ROGOW, senior editor at CIIS. His writings include a recent book of poems, "My Mother and the Ceiling Dancers," from Kattywompus Press.
On Friday, April 15, California Institute of Integral Studies sponsored its third annual Symposium on Integral Consciousness. This year's event honored the founders of CIIS, Haridas and Bina Chaudhuri, who served as the Institute's first two presidents.
The 2011 symposium featured many of the Institute's faculty, students, and alums, presenting research and reflections on the current state of their disciplines. I didn't get to every event, but here are a few of the highlights I did attend.
CIIS President Joseph L. Subbiondo kicked off the symposium with a talk on "The Need for Interreligious Dialogue in Higher Education." He argued forcefully for the importance of religious pluralism in today's world. Quoting numerous spiritual leaders from a variety of faiths, Subbiondo made a case that the United States is one of the most religiously diverse countries, and that higher education has a leading role to play in expanding understanding among different faiths, and spiritual literacy.
Don Hanlon Johnson, founder of the CIIS Somatic Psychology program, followed with a talk on "Embodied Spiritual Practices and Socially Transformative Service." He spoke about the importance of finding common humanity with people of a variety of faiths and cultures through focusing on our shared experiences, lived through our bodies. Participants experienced this first-hand by greeting another person next to them with a warm touch of hands and a person-to-person exchange of information.
Jorge Ferrer of the CIIS East-West Psychology program provided a thought-provoking overview of the future of religion. He noted that religions were becoming more and more hybridized, learning from one another. He also showed how religions are rapidly changing in response to developments in society, from feminism to gay rights to the ecological crisis.
At a panel on "Goddesses in Conversation," Mara Keller, cofounder of the Women's Spirituality program at CIIS, advocated for including feminine forms of deity in worship and ritual, recounting her own path to the goddess. Jim Ryan of the Asian and Comparative Studies program spoke about the Institute's sri yantra symbol, describing how it actually represents a tantric union of the goddess Kali with her consort, as well as the intertwining of the sacred and mundane. He also chanted in Sanskrit the opening verses of a prayer with the thousand names of the goddess. Hilary Anderson, an early alum of CIIS who studied with the Institute's founders, spoke about the spiritual lessons inherent in life, from the daily existence of couples to archetypes of the goddess.
There were dozens of other speakers at the conference. Many participants praised and thanked CIIS Archivist Bahman Shirazi, who organized the event. This was the third annual Symposium on Integral Consciousness, and as CIIS Library Director Lyse Dyckman said, "When something happens once, it's innovation. When it happens twice, it's a trend. When it happens a third time, it's a tradition."

Dress like Steve McQueen – Barbour unveils new range
It is incredible to think that almost 35 years after his sad and premature death that Steve McQueen remains one of the most recognisable and iconic Hollywood stars. Barbour certainly thinks McQueen is a legend. The British brand has been adding to its McQueen inspired range. In keeping with McQueen's on (and off) screen persona it is tough clothing that …
Make like Steve McQueen in a short-sleeved sweatshirt
It may seem crazy to suggest wearing something as warm as a sweatshirt given the recent heat spell, but cooler days will come again, they will. Ever iconic, Steve McQueen popularised the short-sleeved sweatshirt in The Great Escape. Perfect for breezier days when you can stand a bit of arm chill but want to feel hugged, a short sleeved sweatshirt is a great item. Customise your own (Uniqlo sell quality, slim fitting versions) by cutting the sleeves off, or consider this more 'finished' version by Nom de Guerre from OkiNi. This is a macho look best worn with a throbbing motorcycle between your thighs. At least, wear with chunky boots and faded jeans.
Give the gift of inspiration: Steve McQueen by William Claxton
Whether you're still shopping for gifts or have given up on largesse and want something to peruse on these (still many more) cold winter nights, Taschen's book of William Claxton's classic photos of Steve McQueen, republished in October this year, is a beautiful, inspiring thing.

Green Space Expansion at CIU
March 20, 2012
The old song says, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot." At Columbia International University, we're unpaving the parking lot and putting up ... well, OK, it's not paradise.
But as the CIU campus becomes more pedestrian-friendly, it is also becoming greener. Green space is replacing pavement as parking lots move to the edges of campus.
One example of the new look is near the recently-renovated G. Allen Fleece Library. The demolition of a parking lot will expand the quad area in front of the library and behind the administration building.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Police say a bomb has exploded outside the Athens home of a criminal prosecutor, causing damage to the house, nearby buildings and cars but no injuries.
The Thursday attack happened outside the house of prosecutor Paraskevi Kalaitzi, best known in Greece for trying the case of an organized crime ring convicted of several offenses, including the murder of a businessman and the kidnapping of a Greek shipowner.
The shipowner, Periklis Panagopoulos, was kidnapped in January 2009 and held for eight days until his family paid a ransom.
Eighteen people were convicted in the organized crime trial, which lasted 18 months and ended in March 2012. Two of those convicted were sentenced to double life terms. Other sentences ranged from seven years to life.

Jessica Biel lands the January 2013 cover of Elle Magazine!
Jessica Biel looks gorgeous in Dior on the cover of the January issue of ELLE. Posing with some of fashion's greatest visionaries in Paris, Biel proves she can rock any look and have fun doing it. In her interview with the magazine, Biel opens up about choosing that pink wedding gown, her honeymoon bliss, and even husband Justin Timberlake's penchant for pie baking.
On choosing her wedding dress:
"I wanted the dress to be very romantic and feminine and a shape that I very rarely wear. I have never been crazy about all-white wedding dresses, for me at least. [Giambattista Valli] had created that same fabric in a fuchsia-and-pink combination for a dress in a previous collection, and I asked him if he could create that same pattern in a white combination, and he suggested pink. It was a bit of a leap of faith at the time, but it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. [Putting it on], I felt like I had made the right choice. I felt elegant. And it moved like a dream."
On the best part of being a newlywed, Biel wrote exclusively to ELLE from her honeymoon, rumored to be in Tanzania:
"Honeymooning is the best thing about being a newlywed. I wish I could honeymoon forever."
Biel's thoughts on marriage:
"It means always having someone there to open the pickle jar…to share the ups and downs with, have adventures with. Someone to go swimming naked with. That kind of thing."
On Justin Timberlake's domestic side:
"He bakes pies. He's Southern, so he's got all this influence from his grandma. He does a three-layer pie…and blueberry crunch cake, which is pretty unbelievable. It doesn't happen all that often, thank God. Otherwise, it would be a big problem."
On plans for the future:
"My goal now is to work with great directors. Small role, big role, medium-size role- it doesn't matter. I just want to work with someone who's going to push me to a scary, exciting place that I've never been before."
I really think Jessica's beautiful, but she has GOT to do something about that hair. Yikes. Time for the bangs to go.

"Stop the car! Stop the car!"
With smoke billowing from the limousine floor, Nelia Arrellano banged on the partition separating the driver and eight of her girlfriends heading over the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge on their way to celebrate Neriza Fojas's recent marriage. The night would end in a fiery tragedy so horrific that Arrellano could barely speak through agonizing sobs Monday as she recounted Saturday night's final minutes of terror.
"There's smoke, and the fire coming out!"
But the music was blaring in the 1999 Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine that was outfitted with trays full of ice for a night of partying and luxury among these longtime friends who were as close as sisters, all of them Filipinas in their 30s and 40s, most working as nurses in the East Bay and Fresno. Driver Orville "Ricky" Brown thought Arrellano was asking if she could smoke a cigarette in the limo. He checked his GPS. Only four minutes until they arrived at their destination: the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City.
"We'll be there soon," he told her.
They never made it. In an interview Monday with ABC7 news, Arrellano, 36, sat on the living room couch of her home in Oakland, clutching a wad of tissues, choking on words and wiping away a stream of tears as she tried to explain the last moments of the ride that ended in an inferno, the back third of the limo melted into gray ash. Arrellano was the first to escape, squeezing through the partition to the front seat. "I bring out my head through the compartment and say, 'help me,'" she said.
The bodies of the bride and four other friends, who had dressed up in elegant evening attire to celebrate, were found huddled next to the window partition that had been the escape route for Arrellano and three others who had barely squeezed through in time. At a news conference Monday, authorities said the limousine had one person over the state limit of eight passengers, but they said it was still far from clear what caused the fire.
"In the 21 years I've been with the office — all deaths are horrific — but this is just very impactful," San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said. "And it's probably the worst one I have ever seen."
Images of a roiling fire engulfing the back of the limo spread across the country Monday and drew national media to the victims' homes in the East Bay and to the nursing facilities and hospitals as far away as Fresno where most of the women had worked.
At one point Monday, the limo driver climbed into a limousine and was whisked away to appear live on CNN. In an earlier interview with the Mercury News, Brown detailed the terror of those few minutes.
When he finally understood the panic behind him — as much as a minute-and-a-half after Arrellano first called out "smoke" — he pulled to the side of the bridge. By that time, flames were shooting through the passenger compartment.
"It happened fast, it was engulfed so fast,'' said Brown, who escaped without getting hurt. "It burned and burned, burned and burned."
Brown said that when he got out of the car, he fumbled with his phone, so panicked that it took him "five minutes" to dial 911.
"I'm trying to call 911 on my phone, and I'm shaking, it wouldn't dial," he said.
He said he was terrified and wished he could have done more. On Monday, Arrellano wondered the same.
"When he stop the car, he get out from the car," she told ABC7. "He just get out from the car.''
As she desperately wiggled through the partition window, she said, she called out for him.
"He just open the door, that's all he did," she said, "I even ask him, 'help me, help me.'"
As flames built in the back, another friend made it through right behind her, but a third began struggling.
"I heard somebody yelling, 'I'm stuck,'" said Arrellano, with a visible cut under her eye Monday. "And I tried to pull her out.''
Brown said he also helped pull the woman through.
It's unclear why the women couldn't open the passenger doors at the rear of the limo. Perhaps the flames blocked them. Police wouldn't speculate during a news conference Monday morning.
Another motorist who stopped to help pulled open the back door to free the women still trapped inside, but was met with a whoosh of flames.
"There were flames everywhere," Brown said. "It was too late."
The last thing Arrellano did, she said, was pull her friend Jasmin Deguia of San Jose through the partition. When she turned to help the others, the car was dark with smoke.
A motorist who had pulled over stopped her. "You can't go back anymore," he said.
"I say, 'I need to go back. I need to go back and save them!'" Arrellano told ABC7. "But the man say, 'no, you cannot go back anymore.'"
It was too late.
"I wish I could pull all of them out," she said, sobbing.
A video recorded by a passerby shows the back of the limo in flames and a few women perhaps 15 yards away crouched alongside the bridge railing. The four women who survived were recovering Monday; including Deguia, 34, of San Jose, Mary Grace Guardiano and Amalia Loyola, 48, of San Leandro. Deguia and Loyola were upgraded to serious condition Monday at Valley Medical Center.
Many of the women either work or have worked for Fruitvale Healthcare Center in Oakland, a spokeswoman for the center said Monday. While the coroner has yet to identify any of the dead, a Fresno hospital where two of them worked said the tragedy claimed two of their nurses. The bride, Fojas, 31, and another friend, Michelle Estrera, both worked as trauma and surgical nurses at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno. Both were killed in the fire, according to a statement from the hospital. Fojas had recently wed and was planning to travel to her native Philippines to hold another ceremony.
"Both were good friends, stellar nurses and excellent mentors," hospital officials said.
The owner of Limo Stop, San Jose resident Kultar Singh, expressed condolences for the victims and their families. "We are saddened by this horrific event that took the lives of five people, and it happened in one of our cars," he said.
Brown of San Jose started with the limousine company two months ago, after several years as a commercial shuttle driver. A check of DMV records shows no violations on his driving record.
He speculated the limo had an electrical problem, but he didn't know for sure.
"There are lots of things in limousines that are flammable, from the extra foam to the extra vinyl, wood paneling, all the lighting systems," Brown said.
On Monday, interview after interview, he shook his head and expressed his grief and sorrow, promising to donate his next paychecks to help the women and their families.
"I wonder why the five of us were able to escape but the other ones didn't," Brown said. "I've been asking those questions since it happened."

LONDON (AP) — The Scottish government on Tuesday approved an offshore wind farm that has drawn the ire of American tycoon Donald Trump, who fears it will spoil the views at his luxury golf resort nearby.
Trump vowed to bring a lawsuit to stop the 230 million pound ($349 million) development, which consists of 11 wind turbines planned off the coast near Aberdeen in northeastern Scotland.
"We will spend whatever monies are necessary to see to it that these huge and unsightly industrial wind turbines are never constructed," the real estate mogul said in a statement.
Scottish energy minister Fergus Ewing said the project will boost the local economy, test new technologies and be capable of providing energy to meet the electricity needs of 49,000 homes — almost half the number in Aberdeen.
The wind farm, owned by Swedish power company Vattenfall and a local business consortium, still needs to obtain a marine license and approval for an onshore substation.
Trump is concerned that the turbines will spoil sea views for golfers at his sprawling, 750 million pound ($1.2 billion) resort at Menie Estate, which opened last summer despite strong local opposition.
The businessman, who bought the land north of Aberdeen in 2006, was due to add a luxury hotel to the site but he has said he will not proceed with those plans until the wind farm project is rejected.
Trump Organization argues that Scottish leader Alex Salmond and his predecessor gave verbal assurances that a wind farm would never be approved off the coast of the resort.
The tycoon criticized Tuesday's approval as a "purely political decision" and claimed it would ruin tourism and natural beauty in Scotland.
"We will put our future plans in Aberdeen on hold, as will many others, until this ridiculous proposal is defeated," he said.
Trump himself has been criticized by local residents and environmentalists, who protested that his golf resort threatened the coastal sand dunes and wildlife in the area.
In total, the resort has permission to build two golf courses, a 450-room hotel and holiday homes along 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) of coast.

Four Anniversary Teams Honored During 2013 Season
AUBURN, Ala. – Four outstanding Auburn football teams will be honored during the 2013 season with anniversary recognitions at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The 1993 Auburn team will be honored at the season opener versus Washington State August 31. Twenty years ago, the '93 Tigers, coached by Terry Bowden, posted an undefeated 11-0 record and finished with a No. 4 national ranking. The Washington State contest has a 6 p.m. CT kickoff and will be televised by ESPNU.
The 1988 Tigers, co-champions of the SEC, will be honored at the September 7 home game against Arkansas State. Coached by Pat Dye, Auburn posted a 10-2 record that season and faced Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. Auburn finished ranked No. 7 in the nation. The Arkansas State game will kickoff at 6:30 p.m. CT and be televised by FSN.
The 1963 Auburn squad will celebrate its 50th anniversary at the Homecoming game versus Western Carolina October 12. Posting a 9-2 record under Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, the '63 Tigers, who finished No. 5 in the national rankings, faced Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
The 1983 Tigers, who won Auburn's first SEC championship since 1957, will celebrate their 30th anniversary at the Florida Atlantic game October 26. Posting an 11-1 record and going 6-0 in SEC play, the '83 Auburn squad defeated Michigan 9-7 in the Sugar Bowl to finish No. 3 in most of the national polls.

Kristen Stewart Covers 'V' Magazine Spring Preview 2013!
Kristen Stewart graces the cover of the Spring Preview 2013 issue for V magazine, on newsstands now!
Here's what the 22-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On feeling stronger: "I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it's a difficult thing," she says. "You can't see over, people can't see in, and you also can't see out. So I've gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it's not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them."
On her new film On the Road: "I would have done anything, I would have played any part," says Stewart. "Marylou is remarkable because she's got a tough core. When you're a teenager, a year can be crippling to maneuver through. You're just out there questioning things, and so to be completely okay with that and not think that there's anything wrong with you, that's something I've recently understood. I'm 22. Marylou started this whole thing when she was 15."
On her future: "I am not closed off to anything right now. That is what I was saying about not having any more walls up. I don't want to deprive myself of any bit of life."

SANFORD, Fla., July 16 (UPI) -- The friend on the phone with Trayvon Martin when the confrontation on a Sanford, Fla., street with George Zimmerman began says she is angered by the acquittal.
Rachel Jeantel called the verdict "BS" and said Martin, 17, wasn't aggressive but someone who "loved his family" and was a good friend, CNN reported Monday.
Zimmerman, a Hispanic-American neighborhood watch volunteer, was acquitted Saturday of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the shooting death of the unarmed Martin, who was black.
Jeantel was a key prosecution witness in the case who was criticized on national television for her dress, weight, demeanor on the stand and her speech.
Jeantel also derided arguments the case lacked a racial dimension.
"It was racial. Let's be honest, racial," Jeantel told CNN. "If Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that happen?"
After calling police and being told by the dispatcher not to do anything, Zimmerman told detectives Martin began beating him when he approached and he shot Martin to save his own life.
However, Zimmerman didn't testify during the trial, and Jeantel said his defense was "acting like a punk" by trying to portray Martin as a deadly threat.
"If you were a real man you would have stand on that stage and tell what happened," she said, calling Zimmerman "weak" and "scary."
In Los Angeles, city officials Monday commended police for their response to violence arising from a protest of the verdict and warned as of Tuesday, there would be a crackdown on similar actions, the Los Angeles Times reported.
About 350 Los Angeles Police Department officers flocked the city's Crenshaw district after groups of youths broke away from a peaceful protest in Leimert Park, damaging vehicles, smashing windows, setting fires and attacking several people, including a television reporter and his cameraman. As of late Monday, at least 13 people had been arrested on suspicion of committing a number of offenses, the LAPD said.
At a news conference, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti blamed the violence on a "small group [that] has taken advantage of this situation."
While protesters have the right to disagree with the verdict, "people also deserve to be safe on the streets and in their cars," he said.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said officers would have a more aggressive position toward protesters beginning Tuesday.
"This will not be allowed to continue," Beck said.
In Oakland, hundreds of protesters clogged Interstate 880 near downtown Monday evening, blocking traffic both ways, the Times said. After protesters were cleared from the freeway, they went downtown, where multiple arrests were made, authorities said.

Congressional Findings
Pub. L. 105–168, § 1(b),Apr. 21, 1998, 112 Stat. 43, provided that: "Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) Birth defects are the leading cause of infant mortality, directly responsible for one out of every five infant deaths.
"(2) Thousands of the 150,000 infants born with a serious birth defect annually face a lifetime of chronic disability and illness.
"(3) Birth defects threaten the lives of infants of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. However, some conditions pose excess risks for certain populations. For example, compared to all infants born in the United States, Hispanic-American infants are more likely to be born with anencephaly spina bifida and other neural tube defects and African-American infants are more likely to be born with sickle-cell anemia.
"(4) Birth defects can be caused by exposure to environmental hazards, adverse health conditions during pregnancy, or genetic mutations. Prevention efforts are slowed by lack of information about the number and causes of birth defects. Outbreaks of birth defects may go undetected because surveillance and research efforts are underdeveloped and poorly coordinated.
"(5) Public awareness strategies, such as programs using folic acid vitamin supplements to prevent spina bifida and alcohol avoidance programs to prevent Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, are essential to prevent the heartache and costs associated with birth defects."
For meaning of references to an intellectual disability and to individuals with intellectual disabilities in provisions amended by section 2 ofPub. L. 111–256, see section 2(k) ofPub. L. 111–256, set out as a note under section 1400 of Title 20, Education.

What started as a side project for Beach Fossils' Zachary Cole Smith has now sort of usurped his original band. Or, at least, DIIV made a better album, with 2012's "Oshin" taking the bleary surfer twang of Fossils and spinning it around with a dancier '80s swing. Its initial whimsy and calm remain also, perfect for an afternoon act. -- Adam Lukach

All Day
Red Robin will donate back 20% of all meal sales to All Saints – just mention our name!
Red Robin will donate back 20% of all meal sales to All Saints – just mention our name!
I love my Catholic school and without it I wouldn't have the great education I do now.
My Catholic school education has taught me that everything in life was given to us by God and it is our job to make sure that everything I do is something to help others and be like Jesus
Ever day, I learn and get the answers to questions that will help me become a better person and a better Christian.
What I learned at All Saints is not just about what a book says. It's about taking the teachings of Jesus and adding them into your life.
The teachers at All Saints are like God's back-up apostles
At school I learned how to read the Bible and that's important to me.
At my school, we learned how to pray the rosary and picked up trash so we are saving God's creation
Our school has provided me with a loving and caring environment and given me a chance to truly be myself
I like to be able to pray every day at school and I like that we get to talk about saints and how to be more like them.
I learned at school it is better to give than receive – Jesus said that.
The education that we get here at All Saints is really quite an honor, and I'd like to share it.
All Saints School has taught me to be a follower of Christ and trained me to do what Jesus did.
At All Saints School, every day is a day with a great teacher. With their love for teaching, Christ-like values and fierce encouragement, they inspire us to follow Christ and be the best possible people we can be.
My favorite part of the day at school is when we all get to pray for something special.
I love All Saints School because we get to learn about God and you have nice friends. My teacher is nice because she is so kind.
My Catholic education has prepared me to follow Jesus and be a light of the world.
At All Saints, I have learned more about how to live as Jesus did, been given service opportunities and been able to create a strong foundation of faith that helps me make decisions.

Train Like a Pro
For professional skiers, staying on top of the game is always a twelve month project. We asked a few stars from this year's film about some of their most indispensable workouts for this summer.
For professional skiers, staying on top of the game is always a twelve month project. Skiing powder, high-speed lines, and stomping cliffs, whether for the cameras or just for fun, requires year rounf physical strength and conditioning both mentally and physically.
We asked a few stars from this year's film about some of their most indispensible workouts for this summer. However, it's not all your standard leg press or sandbag workouts: today's athletes are open to a surprising array of ways to stay in peak physical form. Here, five top-level skiers give us a look into some surprising moves that keep them at their best through the summer months and even throughout the ski season.
JT HOLMES, professional skier, ski-BASE jumper, speed flyer
In the summer, I ride my bicycles, mountain bike, road bike, and my cruiser. I also hike my brains out seeking airtime in the mountains, for speed flying and BASE jumping. But before I do that, I stretch.
If I have only a little bit of time to stretch, I do pigeon pose [from yoga]: I do three to five-minute pigeon on each side, right leg and then left. And then I am ready to abuse my body all day long!
VIDEO: http://youtu.be/VE0xmsx6EkY
MILES SMART, IFMGA/UIAGM and AMGA mountain guide and heliski guide
I don't do any gym training, but for training in the off-season, I do a lot of cycling. I usually try to go on three or four big road rides a week, which can run about 60 to 120 miles, with 6,500 to 9,500 feet of climbing. This type of riding is really easy to find in the Alps where I live.
Another thing I've found to be helpful is stretching. I'm not into yoga, but the "downward dog" is a great stretch for tight hamstrings.

INGRID BACKSTROM, professional skier
The one move that always seems to be in all of my dryland training workouts is the split lunge jump: you jump up and land in a lunge with one leg forward, knee at 90 degrees over your foot, and the back leg bends down so your back knee almost touches the floor. From here, jump up and switch legs all in one motion so the other one is now forward.
I try to jump quickly but not so fast that I'm losing form--it should be a controlled movement, using the upward jump for power and the down for squeezing and control. The main thing is to keep the core engaged, back straight, and really use those glutes. I incorporate this into other workouts but generally try to do three sets of a minute each total. It never fails to make me sore!
VIDEO: http://youtu.be/cdFyA89Kp0Y
For upper body (shoulders and core) I like the twisting side plank. Lay on your side and then push up to a partial plank on one elbow, with your entire body in a straight line (no sagging hips!), and feet stacked on top of each other with the top arm extended straight up in the air. Keeping your whole body still and core engaged, slowly reach down with the top arm, rotating down with your body simultaneously and reach the top arm all the way under your body towards whatever is behind you.
Your hips should stay facing forward the whole time and you should only be rotating from your trunk, it's sort of a squeezing and wringing out motion while keeping the plank. This is good for your upper back, shoulders, and core. I try to do a few sets of twelve on each side--it seems easy but it sneaks up on you after several if you are doing them properly--slow and controlled.
VIDEO: http://youtu.be/hwRmic0GF80
HEATHER PAUL, professional skier, globetrotter, and runner
My favorite thing to do in addition to trail running at least 4-5 times a week is to add a little spice to those runs...I add intervals to make me stronger and more fit cardiovascular-wise. This is a great way to make you stronger. I usually do it with friends. I pick out a landmark...like a tree up ahead in the distance, sprint to that tree at 110 percent and then walk for 30-50 seconds. Then I lunge to the next landmark, or walk, sprint, lunge, do butt kicks, or high knees. I basically like to do a few different things to keep it interesting, mostly full speed, ass-kicking sprints!
Another great one I do all the time is a side plank with hip dips (25 each side) everyday. This helps you strengthen your core, which is amazing for staying injury-free and resilient.

CHRIS ANTHONY, professional skier and non-profit director
Over the years I have changed my workout a bit based on the recovery time and injuries I'm dealing with. What I have found the best is high intensity, low impact programs, while always switching it up so the body does not get in a routine. I also try to stay off the hard surfaces [such as pavement].
Most of this has been through a combination of classes, which are mostly dominated by women who make me feel weak, including barre ballet classes. I know what you are thinking but they are great for tuning in the small balance muscles, which are often ignored.
VIDEO: http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/home-barre-workout
I get outside and speed hike whenever I can. I have several hikes that between 25 - 35 minutes and almost straight up.
My other go-to is biking, both road and mountain biking. I dig hills and speed as they both cause pain and fun. Lately, I have been spending time in Italy biking through the Julian Alps. People are more than welcome to join me on one of my trips.
