Holiday 'Flash Mob' Prompts Evacuation of California Mall
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsA holiday "flash mob" of merry Christmas carolers forced the evacuation of a California mall when shoppers reported that the floor had begun to buckle. Nearly 5,000 people showed up Monday night at the Sacramento-area mall to spread holiday cheer in an event organized on Twitter and Facebook by a local choral society. But the scene turned from joy to fright when spectators said the floor of the food court at the Westfield Galleria in Roseville started to shift beneath them as the group began its rendition of Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."

Older Californians Not So Keen to Legalize Pot, Exit Polls Suggest
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- Is Proposition 19 going up in smoke because of older voters? Early exit poll results show that the voter initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana use for people 21 and older is facing some stiff resistance from Californians over the age of 39.

By David Knowles - AOL News(March 3) -- Mice beware. A Woodland, Calif., man convicted of swiping a package of shredded cheese from a grocery store was sentenced to seven years and eight months in prison Monday, The Sacramento Bee newspaper reports. Prosecutors had originally asked the judge in the case for a life sentence for Robert Ferguson under the state's controversial "three strikes" law. Ferguson, who had 13 previous convictions, was found to suffer bipolar disorder that resulted in poor impulse control, according to a psychologist's report introduced at trial. "We're talking about a pack of cheese," Monica ...
Where McCartney Is Right: The Need For New and Inventive Green Solutions
By Frances Tobin - Politics DailyRecently, my fellow contributor Joshua Chaney wrote a post in which he argued that environmental policy is rooted in faulty economics. I fundamentally disagree with his claim. In the piece, "McCartney's Meat Free Mondays: Letting a Few Bad Apples Kill the Entire Tree," Joshua raised several examples of what he believes fits this theory. First, as the headline of his post implies, Joshua criticized the efforts of Paul McCartney to promote Meat Free Monday, an "environmental campaign to raise awareness of the climate-changing impact of meat production and consumption," (according to the Web ...
