Share: Everything about the Cornell gang rape story is so hideous that it becomes easy to lose faith in humanity. We have been told about seven disgusting men—Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar—who are worthy of the same compassion, care, and love with which they behaved that night —in other words, none.

With “The Social Reckoning,” Sorkin capitalizes on public frustrations with Facebook, with …

How many goals does it take to beat the Owls? One, two, three…four!
Share: Around an hour before the kickoff for a men’s soccer game between Pasadena City College and Citrus College, a few Citrus players arrived at the stadium, staggered until there were roughly eight sitting in some of the very limited shade provided by the press box. As they sat, a woman approached them—clearly known to the group—and asked who they were playing.

Women’s soccer ends heated matchup in scoreless draw

Agnes Cheesery is wheely good
Share: Despite it being a weekday, the lunch hour having come and gone, and the temperature prohibitively hot, Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery remained bustling at 2:00 p.m. Customers sat at every distinct section of the restaurant, whether it be the tables near the cheese counter, the wine bar, or the dedicated sit-down seating area towards the rear of the barn-like structure. An open kitchen lines all of this, instilling a sense of a communal atmosphere, while music from The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, and Gloria …
