| E for All's Into the Pixel features video game art
While the main focus of this week's E for All Expo in Los Angeles is to let gamers get their hands on hot new console and PC games, there's a different exhibit on the show floor that appeals to art fans. Called Into the Pixel, the exhibit features fine art created by artists who work in game design. Into the Pixel — an annual fixture at past E3 Expo events — is here at E for All, featuring 16 inductees selected by a panel of jurors. It's already been shown at the E3 Media & Business Summit in Santa Monica earlier this year as well as the Toronto International Film Festival. The artwork runs the gamut from Half-Life 2 Episode 2 to 300: March to Glory, Rayman's Raving Rabbids to EVE Online. For the most part, these aren't screenshots — this is fine art created by the same game designers who create the environments and characters that populate popular video games.
Weekly Wrap: Only two unbeatens left
WORST SLIP-UP: There were a few to choose from once again, but we're going with Xavier's setback against Temple. Sure, it came on the road. However, Sean Miller's Musketeers appeared to have suffered a letdown after some quality wins recently.
Runner-Up: Virginia losing at home to Virginia Tech on a buzzer-beater. WEEK TO FORGET: Arkansas was expected to battle for the SEC title, but the Razorbacks are 2-2 in conference play after a pair of losses in the past week at home against South Carolina and on the road against Georgia.
Runner-Up: Miami The Hurricanes lost a pair on the road against Boston College and N.C. State. STILL LOOKING: Grambling State finally got a victory against Texas Southern on Saturday, so that leaves New Jersey Institute of Technology as the last remaining D-1 team without a victory.
Police Violence and Abuses in Detention

Victor wants to go to a shelter for street children, but his mother opposes it. Several months ago, other street children doused Victor with gasoline and set him on fire, inflicting first degree burns over his thighs, groin, and genital area.19 * Juan Alexander, sixteen years old, had been on the streets for five years at the time we interviewed him. His father had died when he was one, and his stepfather was a physically abusive alcoholic. After years of suffering from violent attacks and trying, unsuccessfully, to protect his mother, Juan Alexander left home at the age of twelve. Once on the street he began to inhale glue.
