Hitting the Slopes
Chris Sinclair | Staff Photographer—This winter, hit the slopes, not the stairs!
It seemed inevitable; for once, each and every weather report had predicted the same thing for the San Bernardino Mountains. Yet, once the storm hit, it was unbelievable that it could ever be that strong.

For the Love of Four Loko
Society continues to either sneer and turn its nose up at Four Loko or indulge lavishly in its unreasonable and sticky, sweet existence. This time, the case has been taken into governmental hands, as the FDA is putting the one part malt liquor, one part energy drink under the microscope.

Due to a court order extending her rehab stay, she’s been dropped from a contract for the movie “Inferno,” in which she was set to play a porn star.

Censorship Woes
The Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act bill, or COICA, should be loathed by anyone who uses the Internet. Here at UC Irvine, that would be all of us.
