  • Four Loko has agreed to change the labeling on its cans to make its alcohol content more clear in order to satisfy the Federal Trade Commission.
  • The sports community is confused and rallying against the decision by the International Olympics Committee to drop one of its sexiest oldest events: wrestling.
  • Christopher Dorner's wallet was reportedly found in the rubble of the burned down cabin where a charred body (presumably his) has been found.
  • The Democratic Governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, drank fracking fluid to show that it's safe.
