R.I.P. "The O.C."

By Stefania Marghitu · Monday, Jan. 29,2007 6:18 p.m.

Growing up, I have always tried to live the American Dream. For me, this dream consisted of roaming the halls with the likes of Zack Morris and Kellie Kapowski and Brenda Walsh and Dylan McKay. I longed and hoped that when I finally came around to the best years of my life, there would be a show like "Saved by the Bell" or "Beverly Hills, 90210" I could relate to.

Elite stupidity

By Aparna Venkatraman · Monday, Jan. 29,2007 6:12 p.m.

Harvard. Yale. Princeton. What's the first thought that comes to mind when mentioning these schools? We'll bet it's something along the lines of "prestigious," "quality," "ungodly expensive" or, perhaps, "Jerks!" (for those of you who may have been denied). For most people, the thought of an Ivy League school probably doesn't conjure images of hazing or discriminatory behavior. No, those thoughts are reserved for us social pariahs at the public institutions. We're the meatheads. We're the drunks. That's how it's always been. That's how it will always be.

The end of the news world

By Mike McElroy · Monday, Jan. 29,2007 3:03 p.m.

People, we've got a problem. The signs are everywhere. Last Monday, Sen. John Warner, R-Va., said he opposes the addition of 21,500 more U.S. troops in Iraq and helped pass a non-binding resolution that included this chilling statement: "The Senate disagrees with the 'plan' to augment our forces by 21,500, and urges the President instead to consider all options and alternatives for achieving the strategic goals … with reduced force levels than proposed."

Turning the tables on the teachers

By Paige Ingram · Monday, Jan. 29,2007 12:55 p.m.

Religious studies professor Kathryn Lofton advises students to write evaluations like they're appraising a friend's outfit. "You want them to look their best, but they can't change their body type," Lofton said. "The bad thing to say is you look bad in that outfit. The good thing is to say maybe pink is a better color for you."

Heinz angry over 'red zone' marketing plan

By Dan Nephin · Sunday, Jan. 28,2007 11:10 p.m.

PITTSBURGH -- Ketchup giant H.J. Heinz Co. is seeing red over a smaller Indiana ketchup maker's use of the term "red zone." Heinz partners with the Pittsburgh Steelers and three other NFL teams to make charity donations whenever the home team gets past the opponent's 20-yard line -- the so-called red zone. Heinz claims Elwood, Ind.,-based Red Gold Inc.'s "Red Gold Red Zone" program is too similar to its "Heinz Red Zone" program. That program donates to charity when the Indianapolis Colts enter the red zone.
