Led by head coach Jim Saia, CSUSM finishes the regular seasons with a 30-1 record, winning their first Associations of Independent Institutions (A J J.) Division I Conference Championship title. CSUSM defeated life in their final game on Sunday, March 9, leading 112 - 95 with exceptional contribution from the entire team. The Cougars shot for 50 percent from thefield,44.8 percent from three-point land and out rebounded Life. Bobby Macias and Zack Zaragoza came off the bench and combined for 31 points and 15 rebounds. When asked what he at- Division I Men's Basketball Champions for the first time in CSUSM history. Photo provided by the campus athletic department, www.csusmcougars.com tributed to the Cougars' success, starting three-guard Malcolm Lemmons said, "Our camaraderie; we're a close knit group on and off the court." Lemmons contributed a double-double in the final game. "I do anything I can to help the team win. If coach needs me to rebound or play defense, I do anything I can to meet our goal," he said. "It's nice tofinallysee the hard work is actually paying off. We made a name for ourselves the first year, got ranked the second and getting ranked number one this year; it feels good," three- year veteran, Brian Emmanuel, said. The Cougars are headed for a week of a challenge with the tournament being filled with the nation's best players at the small collegiate level. Thirty-two teams are slated to compete for the NAIA Division I Championship title through March 25. CSUSM's number one ranking leaves the rest of the league anticipating some great competition. "It's a great feeling, but we know rankings don't mean anything when going into the tournament and every team's going to be gunning for us, so it's like we got a c)iip on our shoulder," Lemmons said. "We just have to go in there and play hard and take it day by day." When asked if there were any specific teams to look out for, Emmanuel said there was not. The Cougars' selfless offense and defensive prowess gives the team a well-deserved confidence going into the tournament. CSUSM Cougars are set to play the thirty-second seed, Oklahoma Baptist, on Wednesday, March 19 in round one of the NAIA Division I tournament.

P resident c alls f or i ncrease in f ederal m inimum wage by 2016 By R YAN D O W N S SENIOR STAFF W RITER Students may be seeing a change in their federal and state based pay checks. Making minimum wage — It's arguably one of the most important things in the life of a student. For many, it's what keeps them busy while they're in school. For many others, it's the very thing keeping them in school while countless individuals rely on it keeping them alive. The minimum hourly wage that businesses are required to pay employees is a matter of economic importance not just for San Marcos, but for students everywhere and it may face some large changes in the coming months. The issue of minimum wage became a talking point recently, after a report by the Congressional Budget Office elaborated on a plan by the President to raise the nationwide minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10, tentatively by the year 2016. It's not too difficult to see why. In the last 14 years, the costs of education, gasoline, healthcare and living have all skyrocketed, whereas the wage has remained in a fixed position. Naturally, this affects many individuals in the labor force, but not necessarily in a positive way. According to the CBO, while the wage in- crease could make lives easier for upwards of 16 million 'Americans, it is also slated to cost approximately 500,000 workers their jobs. In other words, the act would actually increase unemployment, the boon being that the already employed would make more money. This comes as a result of companies making less money when customers are less willing to spend on products that will be more expensive to pay for the workers. However, the President remains optimistic, having acted as the primary force behind the bill since its inception. While the measure is expected to pass the primarily left-wing Senate in March, its W orkers' H ourly W ages a n d t he F ederal M inimum W age 2013 Dottore pm Hour Atfva) i t ttrs m* me m$ I C H OMO N A *ü»ö*T OM t OOI I M fC odds of surviving the more right-wing House are decidedly less hopeful; with many representatives pointing out the rather harsh increase in unemployment. It's a fair comparison, while alleviating the effects of the recession on the more vulner- N 30Ô3- 2008 able in our society, the initiative could very well make the recession worse. Some economists beg to differ, like Pension Chairman Tom Harkin, who stated "workers benefit from modest increases in the minimum wage without negative consequences for the low- wage job market," reminding individuals that an increase in revenue and circulation could very well increase job potential, cancelling out the increase in unemployment. Still, the benefits to those suffering in the labor force are undeniable and the increase in circulation could very well allow the creation of new jobs. Ultimately, the fate of the measure depends on its standing in Congress at this point, which remains to be seen. California's minimum wage is itself scheduled to increase with from $8 to $10 in the course of three years due to a biU passed Sept. 12, 2013. It will increase $1 increments instead of in one wage hike.

There is arguably no other sport that is more closely related to business than golf. The relatedness of business to golf spans from companies sponsoring professional tournaments, such as the local Farmers Insurance Open of Torrey Pines, to major business decisions and negotiations being done on the course. I — "i*r ¡1! I CSUSM's business professor, Dr. Edward Balian, is a seasoned vet in the world of business and is the author of Buddha Plays 18. His book takes an innovative approach to teaching the overlooked skill of being mentally sound while playing golf. For business professionals, golf can be a valuable tool. You learn so much about your business partners and clients by playing golf with them. The game reveals values, ethics and reaction to stress. Acts of courtesy are demonstrated by pulling the pin at the hole, shooting in the correct order and a proper attitude while in the lead.

This national park, which is the only one in San Diego County, has two levels to explore for some fun and exercise in the outdoors. The top level of the park includes the visitors' center and the lighthouse. The bay side trail is a 2.5 mile round trip hike that starts at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and, not surprisingly, weaves its way along the bay side of the park. From this trail, visitors can pass by old clues to Point Loma's role and existence during WWI and WWII. The journey is filled with sweeping views of the beautiful harbor and Coronado Island. Tliere are no restrooms or The sport can be important to learn for business, but you have to be careful. Performing terribly can lead others to assume that you are terrible with business as well. Saying that you're, working on your game and that you are not comfortable on a course may be more productive than trying to play. If you do have a bad game, make sure to carry your sense of humor with you. "Your behavior during the round is going to be remembered a lot longer than your score," Balian said.

Under the stress of the challenge your focus went up and you applied your skills diligently," Dr. Balian said. How business professionals react to the highs and lows of golf can be synonymous with how they would in life. Staying calm and getting out of a bad shot can show a certain level of tenacity. Dr. Balian has used golf many of times in his business career, and he feels that not being available to play in certain circumstances has even hurt him at times. Get Out!

There is also another short trail that starts at the lighthouse and offers views to the west, including a lookout for whales during December through February and the kelp forest. After checking out the topside trails, lighthouse and Cabrillo Statue, there is still more to see down at the tide pools . The tide pools can be reached by a narrow road that turns offrightby the entrance to the park. From three different parking lots, hikers can find a trail and continue their journey, witnessing the waves crashing on the cliffs and experiencing a closer view of the ocean. Cabrillo National Monument is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a $5 entrance fee per car. More information about Cabrillo can be found at http://www.nps. gov/cabr/index .htm. Probiotics, also known as "good" bacteria, are live microorganisms that inhabit our bodies naturally. They have become of popular interest recently because of the supposed health benefits. Although the FDA has not yet approved any of its health claims, probiotics are used to help with certain health conditions, especially with the digestive health of our gastrointestinal tracts. The body, especially *he gastrointestinal tract, is host to many different species of bacteria that are not considered to be germs but necessary for proper functioning. , Probiotics, which are found in products like supplements and yogurt, contain similar bacteria that are beneficial for our gut. Although sufficient scientific evidence is lacking for Learn more: specific uses of probiotics, the research is looking promising. The possible beneficial mechanisms of probiotics for human health include reducing harmful microorganisms in the GI tract and producing antimicrobial compounds, which either destroy or suppress the growth of unwant- ed bacteria. Probiotics may also stimulate the immune response. While there still needs to be strong evidence provided on probiotics, they generally seem to be safe for use. Talk to your doctor before using probiotics.

At the Union, we are still in the process of figuring out what we can and cannot accommodate, what we can do and what is too much," International Beat Traveling through Europe B Y EMMA GRACE FAIRCHILD STUDY A BROAD C OLUMNIST One of the first things I noticed upon my arrival in Stockholm was the trend that everyone I spoke with had previously done a lot of traveling. While it seemed most of it was contained within Europe, there were also many people who frequent parts of Africa, the Middle East or Southeast Asia. At first I was intimidated by the worldliness of so many of my peers. Then I considered the span of states I have covered in the US and how new friends here would press me about the differences between them. Now, instead of shame for never having left the country before this experience, I feel contented that I have been to eight states and explored a great deal of California (which is large enough on its own). But since I have settled in Scandinavia, I realize the proximity of so many unique cultures, languages and landscapes. There are affordable-flights (less than $75 for round trips sometimes), boats for cruises to several neighboring countries and comfortable, affordable trains as well. Weekends between exams are notorious for "booze cruises." The al- Map of Europefrommappinet.com cohol is cheap and duty free, and you spend a day in Estonia, Latvia or Finland. Personally, I have already spent four days in England and have a five day trip to Poland in the works. The decision to go to England was easy. I have a friend who lives outside of London that I really wanted to see (and who I could stay with for free). I flew into Gatwick airport in London. With a bit of help from the aforementioned friend, I bought train tickets in advance, which would deposit me in her country suburb. Evenlhough Sweden is, fairly easy to get around as an English speaking traveler, it was a relief to see every sign and hear every announcement in my native language in England. I ended up spending a three day weekend playing around the country side with my friend and her three dogs, getting rained on and experiencing parts of local culture. I tried traditional 'tea for two' in a garden restaurant (amazing) and atefishand chips out of butcher paper (also amazing). On my last day, I was able to spend several hours exploring London itself before myflightback to Stockholm, which was a great experience. I chose two places-prior to my arrival and simply explored, with no destination or plan. Camden Market was an interesting experience. I found it to be a big-city version of Venice Beach, without the body builders. I had a wonderful time overall, and can't wait to go back and do all of the touristy things London has to offer- Big Ben, the London Bridge, etc. And the flight was only two hours. I'm really looking forward to my trip to Poland. I am going with afriendfrom school this time, so all of the costs can be shared and experiences had together. After that, a cruise to Tallinn in Estonia is definitely in order, and maybe a trip to the other side of Sweden to see Gothenburg. Ultimately, living in the states gives me proximity to see other parts of the states, and living in Europe gives me the opportunity to see more diverse and historical parts of the world. Provencio said. "It has so much to offer to clients and students, but the USU is just a whole different process. We have not discovered what we can do there yet, while at the Clarke we have had it for years and know its capacity." Provencio and Nagel both work underneath Megan Simpson, the Professional Events Planner for the USU who also works for Events and Conference Services. They work to represent the Events office, Clarke and Union well through their hard work and networking with various individuals and groups on campus. "I know a lot of students involved in various organizations, so it is easier for me to contact people for specifics and events. I build relationships amongst professional staff as well, and when events happen I introduce myself," Nagel said. "My name is being presented in that area, so when people come in they know who is running the events within the building and who they can ask when they need things. With the student staff I supervise, it has helped me build relationships with people and delegate work. I try to make their shift as enjoyable as possible since they do a lot of hard work." "This job is so socially involved with students, staff and faculty that you just meet so many different people. They start to recognize you on campus and it is good to build positive relationships with clients because you work with them multiple times," Provencio said. "A lot has been expected of me and I am glad that 1 have been able to fulfill expectations and to be a good face of the Union." Provencio and Nagel strive for careers in the business field after graduating from college.

Cleaning up the coast CSUSM students doing their part in helping the community B Y A NNE H ALL DESIGN E DITOR The gracious and talented Sarah Christensen, a Resident Advisor at CSUSM's dorms, took it upon herself to motivate students on campus to spend a beautiful, sunny Sunday cleaning up the coastline around the Oceanside pier. This motivated young student notified people that were living in her dorm and occupying campus to let people know that the event was taking place on March 9. Students gathered at the Sprinter and hopped arideto the end of the line to catch some rays and make a difference in their community. "We really try to focus our events so that people can not only have fun with it, but also get information out of it and learn something in a new experience. We really want to make it impactful for them.

The commentaries following the letter lends support to Farrow, and many of those commentaries described similar experiences of sexual abuse without the Hollywood light. I could not help but ponder the thought of how we could come to prove accusations of child abuse? As a Mexican woman who experienced child sexual abuse at the age of seven, I can attest to the experience where, based on the lack of evidence that victims are sometimes unable to provide, we are questioned whether the alleged sexual abuse occurred. Alleged; interesting word. I cannot think of reasons why a seven year old would happen to give such a vivid story of the abuse and still be questioned. Now, I do understand that as a society we live under the Rule of Law, and we are to always be viewed innocent until proven guilty. What about if you cannot prove the guilt? It is a controversial subject, especially when concerning children. For Farrow's disdain, there is no form of evidence that provided enough proof. Then there is the psychological effect of child abuse that arises issues well beyond evidence of proof. For example, in my case, I was sexually abused for a period of years. As a child I was unaware that child abuse existed or that it was wrong.

With the amount of walking CSUSM students do across campus, it is wise for them to consider how issues with their shoes and feet can contribute to joint issues as well as hip and back pain. Shoes with even the slightest heel can affect the way men and women walk. Heeled shoes cause feet to point in a downward position, putting unnecessary pressure on the forefoot. When pressure is placed on the forefoot, people tend to lean backward, contradicting the lower half of the body's inclined, forward position. Heals also cause abnormalities in the way people walk as it limits the foot's natural function to push against the ground when stepping. These walking irregularities have a critical impact on a person's posture, causing their spine to flatten: contradicting the spine's natural s-curvature. Stresses to the spine further displace the body's hips by putting too much pressure on the lower back. Chronic overuse of the hip-flexors then leads to excessive force on knee joints. To alleviate some of the excess pressure on the knees, the body tends to react by adjusting the shin inward. Aside from daily discomfort, continual unnatural walking habits can even lead to osteoarthritis in joints. In all honesty, barefoot is the best and most natural way to go. However, due to health and comfort concerns, many students are not open to the idea of going barefoot. If that is the case, it is imperative that students begin to look at what kind of shoes they are wearing in order-to prevent long term issues with back, hip and knee abnormalities. It is best to avoid or limit use of heeled and pointed shoes as well as flip-flops; pointed shoes and flip-flops can cause abnormalities in toe grip, displacing natural foot rhythms. Instead, students should take the time to consider shoes that are comfortable and that aid in stabilizing the foot before conquering "Cal State Stair Master."

"It was a very enlightening film which lifted the veil of current events that most Americans are oblivious to. Speaking for myself, I was unaware that we were still at war with Afghanistan and the imagery produced from watching the film was very heart wrenching and has made me curious as to why media only covers 'two percent' of this war," Lana Cook, film screening attendee, said. A fellow student and Veteran who attended the screening was not willing to share his perspective of the film because of the hardship that he encountered by watching thefilm.The content truly hit home, and touches on issues that spark emotions that run deep. As soldiers return home and are slowly discharged from service due to government budget cutbacks, they are left to society and their families to work through the horrors that were experienced in the name of protecting and defending a country that appears tcv have forgotten about them. Our military counts every soldier as a body. When that body is unfit to fulfill its purpose, it is disregarded in a manner that is of the smallest expense to government funding as possible, in hopes of saving the taxpayers' dollars. Yet in the long run, this is costing society and the Department of Veterans Affairs far more in expenses for being proactive infindingthese people help. "I am aware that the war in Afghanistan is still going on WORLD PREMIERE FESTIVAL DEL FILM LOCARNO 2012 even though our media acts like it is over. I get my information from a news page on Facebook that I follow, and through word of mouth when I discuss recent news with friends and family. I do not know why the troops are there. My guess is that they are keeping a watch on Al-Qaeda to make sure they do not attack the U.S. again," an Events Assistant at the Clarke and the University Student Union, Gabri Provencio, said. "Sequestration and budget pressures continue to place unacceptable pressure on our Army, its soldiers, families and civilian employees. Military retirement and retiree health care programs are under attack by those who view the programs as 'overly generous' and programs affecting the Army's ability to train and equip its forces are whittled away," according to the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) News membership report for 2014. There is so much to the story still untold. The average civilian will never have the capacity to fully understand. There is no true way of describing the full experience of tragedy that is suffered by a soldier or sailor that joined the service to defend the rights of his or her people to find out that their sacrifices were ignored. 'Far From Afghanistan' is a film that should not be missed. This act of humanitarianism does not end with just the film. Various organizations work with the developers of thefilmto create public awareness. For more information, visit http://farfromafghanistan.org.
