O U R N EXT ISSUE March 6 SAN DIEGO ~ Former CSUSM student Matt Weaver was charged in federal court with four counts of fraud on Feb. 8. The FBI investigation has been ongoing since Weaver's on-campus arrest on March 15,2012. According to the FBI report, Weaver was attempting to rig the 2012 ASI elections and win the office of president, and he stole 740 student identifications in the scheme. He was charged this month with four counts of fraud and released on $20,000 bail pending trial. Further research into the case showed that Weaver had allegedly been planning to run for ASI office as early as July 2011. According to the report, he sent a request t o ASI for the budget and salary rates for ASI student officers — who earn an annual salary ranging from $ 1,000 to $8,000. The ASI budget is $300,000. FBI investigators found a PowerPoint presentation on Weaver's computer that proposed that he and his Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity brothers (a fraternity banned from CSUSM) run on a slate to obtain five ASI positions. The presentation suggested that Weaver run for president and his fraternity brothers run for vice president positions. According to the investigation, the method Weaver used to fraudulently access information and cast votes involved plugging keylogging devices into 19 university computers in January and February of 2012 to obtain students' logins and passwords. He kept the information on 740 students in multiple Excel spreadsheets on his computer, one of the largest files was titled "Fu** ASI .alpha." Access to campus accounts also gives access to one's account network-based university services which include email accounts and other private information.

Sarah Do job was an 'aggressive, primitive act' discusses how to make a difference at school B Y COUGAR CHRONICLE STAFF MEMBERS A local Internet security expert praised CSUSM's detective work that brought down an election-rigging scheme on campus last spring. But the case against the ex-student charged with the crime shows how vulnerable computers—and their users—can be to cybercrime. On Feb. 8, Matt Weaver was charged in federal court with two counts of wire fraud, one count of access device fraud and one count of unauthorized access to a computer, for allegedly attempting to rig the votes in the ASI election in March 2012. The criminal complaint said that Weaver, who was running for the office of ASI president, purchased and installed up to 15 keylogging devices on 19 on-campus computers in order to gather the username and passwords of 740 students (which he allegedly used to cast votes for himself). Chris Gruenwald, owner of Bayside Networks in Sorrento Valley, described the ASI election-hacking scheme as "an aggressive, primitive act" that is likely to have severe consequences if Weaver is found guilty. "He sounds like a young wise guy who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room," Gruenwald said, adding that if Weaver is found guilty of the crimes, then: "he's ruined his life and thrown away a good chance at an education for something he didn't really think through." Gruenwald described keylogger hacking as a relatively unsophisticated form of cybercrime. t KeyGrabber USB Keylogger $44.99 mm B Y JULIANA STUMPP A & E EDITOR Markstein Hall, which opened in 2006, quickly beTbe KeyGwbber USB Mitwar* keytegget 2L x 28 comes in 2 « t w oflermg v ttw 8 M8 <6 ma came the campus' official miffionfeeystofees,or « è 4.080 pages «? vr Sn u building for the College of text ! er 2 G8 (2 Mtjon keystrokes o» 1 S* motten £»ge» oftexu Superfestdate Business Administration Mtrittalfeachievedfryswitching iato F toh Driv« RMHÍetaftfownto&dCompterety (CoBA).

Do has learned that to make a change you must share your opinions with others because ultimately the board of directors is on campus to represent the students. Last year's Student at Large Representatives started a survey they would give out to students to understand the concerns they had as a student body. This process has been continued this year adding a new questions such as "If you could ask President Haynes something, what would it be?" The surveys are then given to ASI President Scott Silvieria to review during monthly meetings. * Do's advice for anyone wanting to run for CoBA Representative is "talk to students before running so you have a plan of what you want to accomplish and goals. If you don't then people might be skeptical. Get involved in CoBA because they appreciate students that are involved." Coming up for CoBA is their spring orientation on March 28 during U-Hour in Markstein Hall where students can learn about the different opportunities the business administration has to offer. �News Editor: Melissa Martinez cougarchron.news@gmail.com Renting textbooks cheaper Chancellor W hite addresses C SU student concerns B Y MELISSA MARTINEZ NEWS EDITOR Earlier in February, Chancellor Timothy P. White held a press conference from his office in Long Beach, where students had the opportunity to voice their questions and concerns for future changes in the CSU system. On Feb. 6, many of the topics discussed were policy issues for the CSU such as the current CSU budget, online education (something that White has advocated for) and the quality of education one expects to obtain while attending a C SU. Along with last f all's reimbursement of 9 percent of the fall 2012 tuition increase some students were awarded, Chancellor White is advocating to save money for stuFRAUD FROM I laptop computer and bag, finding keyloggers, keylogger user guides and a placement drawing of different computer labs on campus.

Students throughout the CSU last fall took advantage of the 60 percent or more discounts they received from renting though CSU Rent Digital than competitive other rental websites. As the cost of tuition Continues to rise, so does the cost for textbooks. CSU Rent Digital is one of thè many aspects of Affordable Learning Solutions initiative, a program beginning in 2010, that aims in offering affordable course materials to students as well as greater access to lower cost academic material for faculty among the 23 CSU campuses. CSU Rent Digital incorporated the partnership of CSU with Cengage Learning, Coursesmart® and Follett, which was announced in February 2012. It is a way for students to rent eTextbooks at lower prices in a system-wide digital textbook rental program to help re lieve financial burden. Since his replacement of Chancellor Reed, White has conveyed his passion for students and respecting the financial burden CSU students face while attempting to obtain their Bachelors and Masters degrees. Chancellor White stated in the live-stream conference, "The people that have paid for this amazing system over the years are Californians and we owe a lot to make sure we meet their needs. This is the California State University and we should never lose track of that." stalled on campus computers but declined to describe how. The university had no comment on the charges Weaver is facing but it did confirm that spring of 2012 was Weaver's last semester at CSUSM. During the 2012 election, running on a slate was against the election rules. In October of last year, the ASI Board of Directors voted to allow candidates to run on a slate with a limited collective budget. "We changed the rules to allow candidates to run on slates is because it made the most sense to the board. Before, students from the same club or organization could not say who they were voting for let alone campaign with someone else," ASI President Scott Silviera said 4 has methods and policies in students trying to get away place to detect keyloggers," with stuff, but everything is Lutz Chantung said. tracked," he said.

His nose is keeping us out of danger: Sergeant Derouin and his vivacious K-9 BY JESSIE GAMBRELL O PINION E DITOR In addition to this campus being the No. 1 safest four year university in California according to Stateuniversity. com, we are also the home of our own bomb-sniffing EOD K-9, Vince. Vince was brought to our campus three years ago by Sgt. Raymond Derouin, who had a hunch to bring an Explosive Ordinance Detection (EOD) K-9 on campus to protect. students from harm. Though Vince has not yet encountered a real bomb, they have been called in on several accounts of potential (but false) threats. "Dogs are smart, he loves it here, he knows the campus very much, and especially loves the parking structure where he gets to play and twice a day we go to search the campus. He is very approachable and' friendly," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is an 88 lbs., 6-yearold field Labrador who was a rescue from Idaho, set to be put down, when someone had the idea to test him for police Kr9 skills and he passed. After discovering him to have heart-worms , he was almost going to be put down again, but was successfully treated and cured of his health threat. David Dorn of K-9 S.T.A.C. (Specialized Training And Consultant) from San Francisco took Vince in and trained him for police work. Sgt. Derouin, who has been here since 2007 (previously spent eight years as a Riverside sheriff) proposed to the UPD the importance of having an EOD K-9 on a college campus. , "I wrote the program for Vince in 2009, Vince is our first K -9.1 wrote out the need for a K-9, what I articulated in my PowerPoint was that campuses are a target. You have to add another level of safety," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is a "passive-alert" police dog, meaning that he will sit down when he finds the bomb, and gets repeated training four to five times a day with a sample bombsniffing exercise to keep his nose sharp. He is also a "single-purpose" police dog,. meaning that his only purpose is to detect smells, not control (military dogs). "Everyone loves him, he [Vince] was on TV at a Charger's game once and was even featured on the front page of the North County Times. He was even in a competition in Modesto County and won first place for the fastest finding time. We. get a fair amount of brand recognition," Sgt. Derouin said. Vince is most likely going to be retiring next year due to a bad (but attended to) case of hip dysplasia that led to the need of finding a smaller car for him to get into, given that he must jump in and out the car many times a day. They hope to find a replacement or two once Vince goes into retirement. "We don't want to run him into the ground, we want him to have a comfortable retire- . ment. He isn't property; he is more like a human to us He has been a great asset and everyone loves him," Sgt. Derouin said.

After the Feb. 8 game vs Chapman was delayed due to weather, the game was rescheduled to Monday Feb. 11. The delay wasn't enough to stop them from exerting their will on visiting Chapman, beating them 3-0 to improve to 4-0 on the season. Pitcher James Dykstra fueled the win, pitching seven innings of nearly flawless baseball, only allowing three hits, while striking out nine batters and walking none. Brandon Bentson got the cougars ahead early and gave Dykstra an early lead to work with when he belted a single to right field to bring around Mike Guadagnini for the score. The Cougars would add two more runs in the game but would only need the one run to win, as Dykstra, Frank Charlton and Hunter Brown all combined to complete the shut-out. On Feb. 12, Chapman would return and face the Cougars once again and would put forth a better fight. Just like the first game, Brandon Bentson got the Cougars off to an early lead in thefirstinning with a right field single to bring in Tyler Bernard. Chapman would answer back in the third inning with a run of its own, to tie it up against starting pitcher Steve Messner. In the bottom of the inning, Kenny Belzer would put the Cougars up again with a 2 RBI single up the middle, and would add another run in the inning to go up 4-1. The game would continue as a back and forth affair as Chapman scored 3 runs of its own to tie the game in the next two innings. With the game tied up 5-5 in the seventh inning, Belzer would once again come up with runners on base and give the Cougars the winning run. After an error from the left fielder, Belzer would bring around two more scores , to put the cougars up 7-5. The cougars would later go on to win 9-5 and improve to 5-0 on the season. "5-0 is a real good start for us, we played well the previous week against Concordia, and took a step back after the rain delay but important thing is we won the game," Head Coach Dennis Pugh said. "February is our month to do well in, March and April are going to get real tough for us." On Friday, Feb. 15, Bethesda came to town for a double header and the cougars wasted no time making a statement. Six different pitchers made CSUSM history and combined to pitch the first no-hitter in the programs history. Pitchers Mike Scaramella, Kevin Hilton, Addison Domingo, Jackson Gaskins, Tony Guerra and Matt Bataska all surrendered no hits to Bethesda batters. Not to be outdone by the pitching staff, the offense of the team scored an astounding 9 runs in a 9-0 win. The Cougar offense soared thanks to Kenny Belzer who once again got the game started with a first inning 2-run home-run and ended the day with 3 RBIs. Mike Guadagnini also contributed to the success, going 2-3 with an RBI and 2 runs. The second game of the doubleheader was more of a pitchers duel as both offenses struggled to bring any runs across the plate, going 3 and out for the majority of the game until the sixthvand final at bats for the cougar offense. Tyler Bernard would score off a passed ball on the catch-. er to put the cougars ahead 1-0 going into the game's final frame when Frank Charlton would close the door for the win to improve to 7-0 on the season. "Pitching was outstanding, it's great to be off to a 7-0 start, these were the games we were, losing last season," coach Pugh said. "Pitchers are great at getting ahead in the count early and the hitting will get better as the weather gets warmer." Due to publication time, we were unable to report on the Feb. 19 game vs Biola. cougarchron.sports@gmail.com I T HE H E A R T B EAT: Healthy eating, is cost truly an obstacle? B Y CURTIS BOVEE SENIOR STAFF WRITER A common reason why many Americans fail to eat healthy is because it "costs too much." Fortunately, healthy foods can be as inexpensive as unhealthy foods. For a fam ily of four to eat dinner at McDonald's, the total cost should they order Big Mac meals will be around $20 to $25. At the grocery store, to feed the same family of four free range organic chicken, red peppers and squash and a sweet potato, you're going to spend roughly the same price, if not less. Comparing the nutritional information per meal at McDonald's with a soda and fries is going to surpass 1000 calories and 50 grams of fat. The meal at the grocery store is unquestionably healthier, amounting to less than 500 calories and adequate amounts of essential vitamins and nutrients. Although the homecooked meal is around the same price range as McDonald's and far healthier, fast food is always going to be easier and arguably cheaper, especially for under-educated individuals. Without an understanding of how to eat healthy, simply comparing the cost of healthy food with fast food and junk food is pointless. Healthy affordable foods include potatoes, beans and lentils, nonfat Greek yogurt, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, canned tuna, eggs, tofu, spinach, oats, and frozen vegetables, among many others. Sadly, many people prefer fast food because of its convenience, regardless of associated risks. To have to go to the grocery store and cook dinner seems like a tedious task. Just think, when you make that trip to the grocery store, you are burning far more calories than sitting in the drive-thru at McDonald's. Furthermore, numerous studies reveal that the average family in the U.S. spends less than an hour together per day. Importantly, this statistic can be increased dramatically if you plan healthy dinners together on a nightly basis. If you go to the grocery store and compare fruits and vegetables to unhealthy foods based on portion size, the fruits and veggies are lower in price overall relative to unhealthy foods. Educating yourself about portion sizes will certainly help you save money when eating healthy. Buying produce that is in-season will help tackle these price issues. If the cost is the main reason people fail to eat healthy, their justification, is inaccurate: according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, obesity raises annual medical costs by roughly $2,800 per person. Even if you spent $200 more per month to eat healthy, you would still be saving money by preventing obesity. In addition, recent studies have shown that the annual cost of obesity in thé U.S. is $190 billion, or roughly 20 percent of total healthcare expenditures. It is no question that cutting out fast food and junk food will help prevent obesity-related medical expenses. Yes, these costs of eating unhealthy are often deferred until later; however, this is exactly the point. A Big-Mac meal at McDonald's may be cheaper initially relative to organic whole foods, but the costs associated with unhealthy eating later in life certainly aren't worth it. The cost of unhealthy food isn't just the price tag. Athlete spotlight: Cortney Allen S T A R T O U T O N T OP. SENIOR STAFF WRITER START RAISING T HE B AR START COMMANDING ATTENTION STAI?!

International Coffee Hour also allows students to use and practice their foreign language skills that have been learned as part of the Language Other Than English requirement, LOTER, which requires every student to be proficiency in a language other than English. For students who want more information on studying abroad, practicing learning skills or even making new friends from a different country, the International Coffee Hour is a good start to getting that information.

The quaint café is tucked away next to the IHOP and offers some of the best atmosphere found on San Marcos's own Restaurant Row. The Coffee House is primarily a more stylish alternative to Starbucks and any of the other more mundane cafes in the area, According to the website, approximately 100 different drinks are offered, including coffee, tea and smoothies. Coffee, depending on size, usually goes from $1.60 for a small and $2 for a large, while the tea is generally under $2 Smoothies are around $4, and most of the Espressos cost around $3.25. There's also a rich selection of food, perfect for any time of the day, including sandwiches and wraps, hot soup, salads and even pizza. What truly sets The Coffee House apart from other cafes is the quirky atmosphere. The interior has a sort of French design, and every table, chair what really caught my attention," Bovee said.

CSUSM's CWCW brings together writers and literature enthusiasts every Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m. in room 303 of Markstein Hall. The primary idea behind the CWCW is for students to get together and share and receive feedback on creatively written stories, poems and other works that they have created. Members are allotted several minutes to respond to the work with helpful and creative criticism. Ä UNIVERSITY God First Since 1899 "They describe in helpful, not insulting, terms what might be holding the piece back," CWCW President Jessica Mulqueen said. "Whenever possible, we describe the problem in terms of how it can be fixed and offer specific suggestions." The CWCW is not limited to only Literature and Writing majors and does not require students to bring work to share. If you don't have time to join, or you're shy, the CWCW also accepts written works online, by submitting them to csusmsubmissiona@ gmail.com.This opportunity gives students a chance to be published in a weekly chapbook, or a magazine every semester. These publications are often celebrated with a Photo by Ryan Downs reader's series, where the writers present their work to an audience. Regardless of whether you write short stories, full novels or even plays, bring your work to a meeting and seewhat CSUSM's fellow writers think.

One of his main goals for the future is to become a professor that teaches anatomy, physics, health or another sciencebased course. He also hopes to start a research project on campus hunger and continue his work helping students by hbsting more food drives and J spreading more information about healthy living.

However, it was not scheduled for her to lip-sync the anthem. It is not confirmed the reason why; Beyonce pre-recorded the performance last minute. Good news, her performance during the Super Bowl halftime show showcased her ultimate diva alter-ego and why I think she i s the best superstar of this generation. I remember first hearing Beyonce in the nineties with the all-female R&B group, 'Destiny's Child' (as most of us have) in middle school. Honestly, I was too obsessed with Hilary Duff (guilty) and Lindsay Lohan (remember when she barely could sing?) to focus my attention to their music. But I am proud to say that my ear has learned to appreciate good music. Their album "Destiny Fulfilled" really caught my attention even though it was the last album the group made together, I still followed Beyonce's solo career (again, as most of us did). Since leaving 'Destiny's Child', she has won 14 Grammy's and seven Billboard Music awards. She has also become one of the most influential musicians of all time, and has now established herself as an actress most known for her work in the film adaptation of "Dreamgirls" and showing her goofy side in "Austin Powers in Goldmember." I really don't need to list of all her accomplishments to explain what an amazing and talented person Beyonce is, but it doesn't hurt to refresh people's' minds. Her talent doesn't just speak wonders but her personality and charisma is what makes people all over the world love her. She always appears with such class, grace and respect for herself and those around her. Let's not forget her show of compassion when Kayne West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Awards in 2009 and Beyonce called her back up onstage to finish properly. I don't know many artists that would do that. Simply put, Beyonce can get away with lip-syncing because we know her talent is genuine. She sells out concert venues in minutes and her albums sky rocket to the top on iTunes. Honestly, it seems this woman can do no wrong (even by naming her baby "Blue Ivy"). Beyonce is just barely over thirty and has a legacy that will last for generations. Lauren Toomes, chemistry major: Turn on t he fireplace, snuggle up in a blanket and read a good book.

The Cougar Chronicle editors discuss their opinions of an on campus gym. Having a gym on campus makes motivating myself to go work out a lot easier. Since I live at The Quad, it is great to have such a close proximity where I can walk to and from: The fact that all students have access to it helps because my roommates and I often go together, so it allows for working out to be a social thing rather than just another chore. Features Editor Katlin Sweeney I have been working out at the Clarke gym for the past year and love it. Not only do I take advantage of the spinning bike and ab cruncher machines, but I also love the Ashtanga yoga that the Clarke provides. I enjoy it when it is time to go to the Clarke to do my workout, especially because it is free. If I were to do the same workout out in town it would cost me a pretty penny. Plus it's conveniently on campus for us students to take advantage of anytime we feel so inclined. Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell I like the Clarke because they always have awesome events and cool classes going on like Zumba. It's just a nice place to go to workout with friends. I love their treadmills too because you can plug in your iPod and watch Netflix or Hulu Plus on it. Plus, its free to students! It's a great deal. A & E Editor Juliana Stumpp I enjoy the Clarke because of its convenience in my daily schedule. It is open even during my off times and has the equipment necessary for a good, full enough workout. I always leave feeling accomplished and proud of my overall efforts. Copy E ditor Keandre Williams-Chambers is often referred to as CSU Stair Master.

It's all the rage right now, which makes sense since our society seems to have tendencies to go out and do things that may not be all that moral or right. They go out and do these things just because they think that it will be the only chance they've got to live life the way they want to. Yes, we are only on earth for a "short" time, which can justify doing fun things or taking up once-inlifetime opportunities. However, being that we only "live once," this does not mean that we should go out and do things that would otherwise be illegal or immoral. And as I have already seen, salesmen have already started to use it against us. I saw an ad the other day that showed a pair of sassy high Join our staff! heels saying, "Buy these heels! Y OLO!" * Even your friends can dangerously use it against you. For example, someone could say, "come drinking with us, YOLO" or "YOLO, why not smoke a joint with us?" See what I mean? People who are vulnerable to this mindset can get caught up in some nasty stuff very quickly. body has passed from this earth. According to Catholic belief, there are three places where your soul can go after death; Heaven, the ultimate goal and life purpose; Purgatory, a place of judgment for those who are not quite worthy of Heaven yet; and Hell, the place where all who reject God and accept Satan go. Keeping this in mind, this life becomes rather important as far as our actions and reactions go. If our soul's final destination weighs completely on what we do o n earth, wouldn't we think twice before "taking this" or "doing that." Wouldn't we consider how could affect our m()rtal being?

FEATURES EDITOR Father Gregory Boyle is a name that has been floating around campus the past several weeks. Boyle, a Jesuit Catholic priest, is known for his dedication to the service of the lost homeboys and homegirls of East Los Angeles County through his Homeboy Industries organization establish in 1992. On Monday, Feb. 11, Boyle came to speak to a sold-out crowd of 1,400 people in parking lot "N," under a large event tent. More than 500 CSUSM students and faculty members attended the event to hear the inspiring stories from Father Boyle and to learn from his compassion and humbleness. Father Boyle spent the night telling stories of the homeboys and homegirls that pulled at heartstrings. People everywhere were grabbing for tissues in response to the tragic misfortune and the touching stories of healing and retribution shown to them by Father Boyle and his colleagues.

THE SHUJihLE B Y K ARLA R EYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER Monday mornings are always a challenge, especially during the winter. So to make these d readed mornings a little more pleasant, this shuffle presents five tracks that will help get over your monday-morning-blues. " Cough Syrup" b y Young the Giant Young the Giant is comprised of five musicians with diverse background, all from the neighboring city of Irvine, California, with a b and name purposely chosen to evoke curiosity. Cough Syrup was number three in the Top 100 Billboard Alternative Songs. Being very uplifting a nd sunny, I guarantee you will want to look up the lyrics to sing along. "Thrift Shop" b y Macklemore Some might find this song vexing, but I think it's genuinely c atchy. It makes fun of those who spend too much money on a shirt a nd e nded up dressing the same as everyone else, among similar situations. The quirky video is a combination of "The Fresh Prince" a nd modern hipster, all guided by a sax sample. Macklemore has a range of tracks, some talking about same-sex marriage a nd his struggle with addiction in his album "The Heist." " My Body" b y Young the Giant There is a reason Young the Giant is listed twice, a nd that is b ecause they are worth listening to. "My Body" w as written a nd performed exactly for that purpose, to j am out a nd get pumped. Some argue that Sameer G adhia (vocalist) is talking about i ce cream, but I personally think he is referring to the Monday mornings in which your body is immobile a nd glued to the bed. "Ho Hey" b y The Lumineers Although the b and left this years Grammys empty handed, they h ave earned a spot on our iPods. It is the first single from their trending self-titled album. This folkrock song is so genuinely refreshing that it will guarantee a smile on your f ace for the rest of the day. It has b een featured in numerous commercials in the U.S a nd even in the U.K. "Drunk" b y Ed Sheeran • The title basically says it all. It is a n anthem to remember (or not) the past weekend as you walk into your GES or business law class with a much n eeded Starbucks drink in hand. Many know Ed Sheeran from the chart-topping "The A Team," a nd you c an recognize his mellow yet intoxicating v oice alongside a n at-ease b eat in this song. Hitting the shelves Feb. 26 ä mm mm ISlACTffi1 "The Master" Starring the talented Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master" focuses on the story of Freddie Quell (Phoenix), a World War II naval veteran struggling through his PTSD a nd his inability to fit into the world. By a stroke of luck, he stumbles upon Lancaster Dodd (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a n organization known as The Cause. As Quell steadily submerges himself deeper within the group's system, his own philosophy a nd lifestyle choices are challenged, a nd his life is forever c hanged. "Zion" b y Hiiisong United As the third studio album by the highly popular Hiiisong United, "Zion" contains the fuses the elements of modern rock a nd contemporary Christian music to reinvent not only the modern worship music, but also recreate their sound. Such songs included in this album will b e "Relentless" a nd "Oceans," songs that will undoubtedly draw in new listeners for their exquisite elements of rock, worship, a nd e ven subtle modern pop. BYTRICIAALCID STAFF WRITER "How to Survive a Plague" Based on a powerful true story, "How to Survive a Plague" is the inspirational documentary tracking the stories of young men a nd women who fought against the tide of AIDS prejudice to lay down the first steps to AIDS awareness a nd treatment.

With mixtures of Lloyd's pensive flutes a nd Moran's dark-toned accompaniment, the five-part dedication to Lloyd's great-great grandmother's life heads this masterpiece of a n album with beautifully composed a nd heart-wrenching songs. C SUSM faculty member t o present piano recital B Y R YAN D OWNS SENIOR STAFF WRITER It could be said that there is only one thing more pleasant than a recital by a talented and dedicated pianist, and that is a free recital by the very same talented and dedicated pianist. Fortunately, CSUSM will be showcasing the latter at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 in Arts 111. Last year, CSUSM's very own music professor, Dr. Ching-Ming Cheng, mesmerized the school with a fantastic showcase of her talents, backed by a life of extensive experience in solo and collaborative concerts all over the globe. Her career has also involved multiple teaching positions at schools across America, ultimately leading to her incredibly welcome arrival at CSUSM in the fall of 2011. The recital is one of the many ways Dr. Cheng's involvement at the school goes beyond teaching; she also has plans to develop a complete music department, separate from the music and theater department. "We want to expand, and take this program onto a different level," Dr. Cheng said, mentioning how few students at the school major in instrumental music. In fact, majors in specific instruments, such as piano, were not previously available until Dr. Cheng's arrival. "Now that they have me, we are trying to recruit more music majors," she said, emphasizing the focus on piano. She hopes the set-up can involve one-on-one instruction, so she can have a handson interaction with students who are interested in piano and other music. Dr. Cheng hopes to get a music department up and running at the school at least by the next semester, but she believes the primary obstacle to this goal is the fact that students who may be interested may not be aware of her efforts. She hopes the recital can raise awareness of what she is trying to do, and hopefully draw students who may be interested in becom- ing music majors and helping to establish a department on campus. As for the concert itself, Dr. Cheng enjoys playing music from several major historical musicians in chronological order, beginning with the seventeenth century and moving to modern day, in a show that will cover music from Chopin, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and Brusoni. "He actually arranged a piece written by Bach," she said excitedly of Brusoni, the most modern of the featured musicians, "so it kind of brings it full circle." The recital will go for about ninety minutes, and, of course, it is free.

The most original and underrated comedy of all time, "Arrested Development" is a show that aired on the Fox network for only three seasons. The show is so unique because of the diverse and quirky characters as well as outrageous storylines. Jason Bateman plays Michael Bluth, the lead character that takes charge of his family and their mini mansion company when his father George Mie h a el Sr. (played by Jeffrey Tambor) is i mprisoned for "creative accounting." During the process of the investigation, the rest of the Bluths' moves into a model home. In addition to being the single father of George Michael (played by Michael Cera), he is responsible for his two immature brothers Gob (played by Will Arnett) and Buster (played by Tony Hale). His twin sister Lindsay (played by Portia de Rossi) and her family, aspiring actor Tobias Funke (played by David Cross) and scandalous teenage daughter (played by Alia Shawkat) also take residency there. To complete this talented cast is Jessica Walter who plays the vain and self obsessed Lucille Bluth, mother of the Bluths. Ron Howard offers his voice as the narrator who offers the sarcastic and witty tone. In spring 2013, Netflix will reboot the series with brand new episodes. 'Take Me Home Tonight" £ *£*£'•;/5 Set in the late '80s, the film follows the protagonist Matt Franklin (played by "That 70's Show" Topher Grace) in a coming of age tale featuring similar struggles that many of us might face after we graduate college. After graduating from MIT, Matt moved back home and works at a movie rental place ; in the mall to much of his father's dissatisfaction. While at the video store with his twin sister Wendy (played by Anna Faris), Matt runs into his high school crush Tori Frederking (played by Teresa Palmer).
