X IX NO. 1 News Briefs GovernorArnoldSchwarzenegger cut $312.9 million f rom the CSU System in his budget proposal for 2008-09. The budget cut also assumes another ten percent student fee increase—the sixth in the last seven years. The 2008 Presidential P rimary Elections kicked o ff in Iowa on Jan. 3. Democratic Presidential h opeful Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mike Huckabee won the most delegates f rom their respective parties. Since, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton appears to be the frontrunner while the Republican Party still remains split among three candidates. A fter t wo months of striking and negotiations producing no resolution, the on-going Writers Strike sidelined the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Awards were instead announced in a press conference like format. The Board of Trustees meet today and tomorrow to discuss the Governor's budget cuts and review hiring and compensation practices in its response to the State Audit released last month. Today, Jan. 22, is the last day to register to vote for the California Presidential P rimary on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

H istì • 9.159 187 1 1 1 m i Students < Tenure/tenure Spring I •; track Semester Blood, Sweat, Tears, Resolution BY TORIA SAVEY Pride Staff Writer Well, the Pride has made its usual N ew Years' resolutions. Try not to piss o ff the administration to the point that they have us all killed by assassins. Lose 150 lbs (well, our old editor graduated so we've already completed that one). Keep the office cleaner, or teach the roaches to copy edit. As for me, I have my own set of resolutions. For example, if I lose 40 pounds, my boyfriend is going to propose. S o...I'm going to gain 50. That immediately gets rid of the "eat less cookies" and "exercise more" resolutions. Excellent. My second resolution is obviously to stop by pet stores and look at kittens more often. They make me happy, and my cat's starting to get a little shabby around the edges. Never too early to start shopping for a replacement. Resolution number three: get a Wii. Due to a nasty flu/migraine/ PLAGUE combo* I'm still behind on work f rom last semester, arid then I 'll have all the school work this semester, and the newspaper. I think now is an ideal time to take up Wii bowling with the grandparents. Plus it's j ust the level of exercise I need to gain those 50 pounds. Ok, I have to make five resolutions. Hmm. So # 4 is clean more often. The cat may not actually be shabby around the edges at all, so much as covered in dust bunnies because she's been napping in my room for so long. And it's not like I have a bad relationship with the vacuum cleaner. I m ean, I enjoy vacuuming. I'm like Vlad the Impaler of dust mites. And the fifth and final resolution of 2008: tell people that I love them more often. However, I don't want to strain myself, so I'm going to do it every other Tuesday between 4 and 5 in the afternoon. I figure three people an hour, once every two weeks, means I 'll tell people I love them about once every six months. That's a good comfortable level. Or really, better yet...#5: t ry every Beer o f the Week. �NEWS Tuesday; January 22, 2008 T H E ( ft P RIDE ;; mrtoKmcnm VÏRI01AHA < É^CIiBCO-ISÀAC V .

L etters t haa ^ Chargers, plagued by injuries fall to undefeated Patriots BY T IM MOORE Pride Staff Writer EDITORIAL STAFF i ndividual T HE P RIDE The Chargers run at playoff glory is over. Just one game away from the Super Bowl, the Chargers were unable to beat the now 18-0 New England Patriots on a frigid day in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The main concern regarding the Chargers going into the game was the uncertainty of the health of team's three offensive gems. Philip Rivers, despite leaving last week's contest with a injured knee, managed to play the entire game, but the injury combined with the sub-freezing temperatures may have lead to Rivers' two interceptions, two sacks, and zero touchdowns. Running back, LaDainian Tomlinson reinjured a bruised knee on the very first play of Sunday's contest. With Tomlinson in the game, the Chargers would have had a better chance to capitalize on their three trips into the red-zone; all of which ended up resulting in field goals. An integral part of the Chargers passing game, tight end, Antonio Gates played the game ailing from a dislocated toe. The injury held Gates to only two receptions for 17 yards. The Chargers got on the board first in this game, on a 26-yard, Nate Kaeding field goal. I Early on in the second quarter, Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady orchestrated a 65-yard drive, resulting in a one-yard touchdown from running back, Lawrence Maroney. San Diego pushed all the way to the New England five yard line, only to be forced to kick field goal to brong the score to 6-7. At the four minute mark in the second quarter, Patriots cornerback, Asante Samuel intercepted a Philip Rivers pass for 10 yards, and just two plays later, Tom Brady passed to wide receiver, Jabar Gaffney up the middle for a 12-yard touchdown, bringing the Patriots lead to 14-6. The Chargers closed out the half with Nate Kaeding 40-yard field goal. At the eight minute mark in the third quarter, the Chargers capped off yet another drive deep into New England territory with a Nate Kaeding field goal, this time for 24 yards. New England scored early in the fourth quarter on a Tom Brady to Wes Welker sixyard touchdown, bringing the score to 21-12. San Diego gave one more shot at a comeback, but were derailed by solid New England pass protection. Three Chargers intercepted Tom Brady passes, leaving analysts to question Brady's passing game going iiito the Super Bowl. Antonio Cromartie's third quarter pick was Brady's first red-zone interception in over two years. It took 62 straight red-zone touchdowns for Brady to throw one interception, and it is apt that Cromartie had the honor of catching it. Cromartie capped off a pro-bowl season with a league-leading 10 regular season interceptions, despite starting only eight games.

Known as 'Ask Jeeves' up until early 2006, the engine was famous for encouraging users to pose questions to a fictitious butler, or self-proclaimed, "gentleman's personal gentleman." The concept caught on quickly, but was soon swept under the rug by the simplicity of engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. 10 years and $227 million later, Ask.com is poised to regain the popularity that it once held. Dropping the notion of asking a question, Ask.com has rolled out unprecedented features that allow users to get the absolute most out of searches. Users can chose from eight front page sub-features, including: Web, Images, City, News, Blogs, Video, Maps & Directions, and Shopping. Users can also chose. from different skins to customize the Ask.com experience. Se^rch.results are processed into a three column design that offers users the most complete search on one page. In the right column, Ask.com offers ways to "Narrow Your Search" and "Expand Your Search." The right column also contains "Related names" and the ability to go into an advanced search. The middle column contains the typical results that any search engine would contain, however, if a search contains a personality (celebrity, athlete, ect.), the results include a special feature including a short biography, and other helpful links. If a user is searching for a city, a map of the given city appears at the top of the middle column, along with links for Jobs, Current Weather, and Seasonal Climate. The right column is the most useful and robust feature of Ask. com. The column includes an images preview, Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, and a videos preview. If searching for a city, in addition to the aforementioned categories, users can see the city's current time and date, and the current weather, with a link to a detailed forecast. If the search result has current news around it, links to news stories are also included in the right column. A huge right column feature shows Obtaining your P hD?

Boon Rawd Brewery brews Singha in Bangkok, Thailand. Boonrawd Srethabutra founded the brewery in 1933 and produced Singha making it the first lager manufactured in Thailand. The brewery began exporting globally in the 1970s and now 9 M H B offers their products to ft J H more than 40 countries. The-dark brown glass fip m bottle contains 21.3 fluid ounces with an alcoHK hoi by volume of 6%. A • light version of the lager offers a timid 3.5% ABV. The bottle has Photo by Jonathan Thompson / The Pride white label with primarily a glossy gold color filling in the lettering. The label depicts an ancient beast of some nature that appears to be a combination of both a dragon and a tiger. The bottle has an elegant white foil wrapping similar to champagne bottles Ground the neck and bottle cap. Lastly, a white bôttlé cap seals the lager containing the same ancient beast and brewery name in red lettering. The heavily carbonated lager pours with a one inch thick white head that disappears almost as quickly as it formed. The lager has a pleasant, almost sweet aroma and glistens in a light, golden amber hue. As the lager rests in the beer mug the carbonation rises endlessly to the top. The first phase of the sip allows a mild soothing lager to enter the mouth. A slight prickle of the tongue forms and then transcends into a Chuck Norris roundhouse f kick to the taste buds as a bolder flavor washes over all areas of the mouth. The lager descends into the H k abyss of the stomach and leaves a lingering bitter residue. Naturally, the lager pairs exquisitely with Thai ^ m cuisine. The mellow yet bold • lager highlights the eccentric ^ m spices and flavors of authenËÈË tic Thai food. Between the stresses of waiting in line for overpriced parking permits and textbooks, grab some Singha and relax. Welcome back Cougars!
