After riding on a five-game winning streak and its last win against 16th-ranked California State University Long Beach just two days before, the ninth-ranked UC Irvine women's water polo team fell 7-5 to 13th-ranked California State University Northridge at the Anteater Aquatics Complex on Saturday. With the loss, UCI failed to grab sole poession of the regular season conference title, but will share that distinction with UC Davis and CSUN. The Anteaters now drop to a record of 4-1 (20-9 overall) in the Big West Conference.
Flying through the air is normally associated with a few things, including superheroes and anything with wings. Well, add one more to that list: red-shirt freshman volleyballer Carson Clark. You might as well call him Carson Clark "Kent" because when the offensive machine's jersey comes on and the scoreboard lights up, he has the tendency to get his flight on.
In the words of one of this country's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, "You may delay, but time will not." This truism indicates that while life continues to move forward, with humanity making significant progress in various fields with each passing day, one issue perpetually looms over our heads. Halting advancement and stifling productivity is none other than procrastination.
"This is my generation. This is my sex appeal," a throaty voice sings while images of a model in a snug tan sweater and a tiny skirt fastened from top to bottom with silver buttons flash across my laptop's screen. It's clear within the first few minutes of this video that this isn't promoting your usual clothing brand. This is BCBGeneration, a brand-new line that's the hipper, younger sister to Max Azria's well-known BCBGMAXAZRIA label. BCBG, an acronym for the French slang saying, "bon chic, bon genre," ("good style, good attitude" in English), was founded in 1989 by Max Azria and is currently based in Vernon, CA.
Anyone writing about restaurants for this paper would be remiss if they failed to recognize the fact that UC Irvine is situated within poking distance of gastronomical greatness.
In less than three months, Jesse Bernal will officially come into the role of UC student regent. Although Bernal's voice will be the only one with the power to vote amongst thousands of students from 10 campuses, his voice was first heard far from earshot of any of the UC schools.
Digital distribution has been detrimental to media like films and music that rely on DVDs and album releases to generate extra income for the studios. However, the opposite is true for video games in that avoiding brick-and-mortar retail outlets actually cuts costs for developers. A new trend is emerging in the gaming industry toward titles produced exclusively for digital distribution.
It's hard enough for a band to evolve from a sound when it's associated with a specific scene, but what's worse is when your band's sound isn't just a product of a scene, but a product of a band that came before you. Any person that is cognizant of '90s music can hear the Smashing Pumpkins in the Silversun Pickups. From the raspy, angsty delivery of frontman Brian Aubert to the subtle, complimentary boy/girl vocals and the extremely familiar tone of the guitars, you can't help the urge to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins' classic record "Siamese Dream" before finishing a song by Silversun Pickups.
Fans of the first "Crank" movie will not be disappointed with "Crank: High Voltage" in the least. They might actually pose the question: "Is this movie the second part to ‘Crank'?" In so many words: Yes, it is. "Crank: High Voltage" is full of the same qualities that made "Crank" popular. In fact, the film actually picks up at the exact second that the first film ended.
ASUCI kicked off its annual Wayzgoose Medieval Faire in Aldrich Park at 10 a.m. on Saturday. In collaboration with Celebrate UCI, Wayzgoose is an opportunity for incoming freshmen to get a taste of the many extracurricular activities the campus has to offer.

While searching for a birthday gift for my (now 9-year-old) sister two months ago, I went straight to the clothing store Limited Too's Web site because I loved shopping there when I was younger and thought it would be a great location to find cute Capri pants, witty graphic tees and trendy cut denim. To my surprise, the store has changed quite drastically from when I used to shop there in the mid-to-late 1990s.
