  08-02-2018 23:24
  
  Five students worked computers in a Mission Viejo High lab, rapidly clicking and typing, their playing field unfolding before them.
  Eyes glued to their computer screens, they strategized as a team to push their champions forward.
  But before long, they were overpowered by a five-member Woodbridge High team, a turning point in a league match that had been fairly even until then.
  Playing League of Legends, a role-play fantasy game, the Diablos were swept in a best-of-three format, posting their fir

  FOUNTAIN VALLEY — After a year off, a Lunar New Year celebration is once again planned for Mile Square Park – though details are sparse.
  The Tet Festival in Mile Square Park will take place from Feb. 16-18, the same time as the longer-tenured student-run festival in Costa Mesa, and will include vendors, contests and live entertainment. The festival, which ran into financial problems after moving from Garden Grove to Fountain Valley in 2016, was scrapped last year.

  While the Kings were having all these recent breaks — Christmas, league-mandated and then All-Star — it was difficult to find time for both goalies to play.
  But that’s all in the past, and now backup goalie Darcy Kuemper is playing much more regularly. He has started four of the past five games — No. 1 goalie Jonathan Quick missed two of those because of injury — and he has performed more than admirably.

  A question asked by some UCLA researchers might seem like an oxymoron for anyone raised on the now debunked “gateway” theory, the one that says using marijuana leads to using harder drugs:
  Can cannabis play a role in easing the nation’s opioid epidemic?
  That idea is one of many being explored at UCLA’s new Cannabis Research Initiative.
