PALESTINIAN WALL TRAVELS THROUGH CSUF

LOCAL | History

Cooper Center displays OC fossils, artifacts LAUREN DAVIS Daily Titan

TIM WORDEN / Daily Titan Devon Guerrero, 25, a history major, sets down his book bag and takes a moment to notice the wall at the Quad on Monday.

A 12-foot wall depicting the plight of Palestinians was assembled in the Quad on Monday, April 29, by the Students for Justice in Palestine as part of this year’s Palestine Awareness Week at Cal State Fullerton.

The hand-painted wooden

wall, which travels to various campuses across Southern California, was erected to symbolize the alleged institutional apartheid committed by Israel against Palestinians.

Devon Guerrero, 25, a history major, stopped to observe the wall.

“I see a lot of truth in this, I see a lot of fact, I see a lot of hurt and I also see a lot of people’s ignorance, and I am almost speechless that we could do this,” said Guerrero.

The week of focus will be rounded out at Palestine Culture Night, which begins

Thursday, May 2, at 7 p.m. at the Garden Cafe in the Titan Student Union.

The John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center held an exhibit titled “Keepers of Orange County’s Past: Preserving Our Heritage,” at the Old Orange County Courthouse on Thursday, displaying human artifacts and fossils from Orange County land.

The exhibit featured many fossils and human artifacts ranging from 180 million years ago to as recent as 50 years ago.

Jere Lipps, director of the Cooper Center and host of the exhibit, explained that the motivation behind the exhibit was to focus on the partnership between Orange County Parks and Cal State Fullerton.

“That partnership is what keeps the Cooper Center going, so we wanted to focus on that and at the same time show some of our better looking artifacts and fossils,” said Lipps.

Lipps added that some of the fossils displayed through six-foot photographs on the exhibit walls help represent the different ways of displaying the most pristine fossils from the Cooper Center—one photograph in particular represents the skull of a saber tooth deer averaging around 40 million years old.

He said that although the Cooper Center has been collecting fossils and artifacts since the 1970s, the Cooper Center began as a partnership in 2009, was opened in 2011 and became fully staffed in 2012.

Professors’ research finds 20 to 30 percent of students come on campus hungry CHRISTINA BENAVIDES Daily Titan

A panel of representatives from different health centers met at the Titan Student Union to discuss the importance of addressing hunger and utilizing food to initiate conversation about cultural issues on Monday.

The presentation titled “Health & Community: Recognizing Truths and Taboos” was held as a part of Heat Week, a week-long collaborative event planned by ASI Programming Graduate Assistants from each of the Cultural Resource Centers.

Ernest Bridges, a professor of African-American Studies at Cal State Fullerton, said the goal of the presentation is to bring all cultures together in order to find commonalities between them.

Bridges added that it is the center’s place to provide, but his and student’s job to make sure the resources are geared toward them.

In a study conducted by Bridges and Lezlee Hinesmon-Matthews, a professor of African American studies, found that 20 to 30 percent of student bodies that come on campus today are hungry.

students who need it.

“If the stomach is growling, you are not getting the best out of your education,” he said.

Part of the hunger issue on campus is due to a lack of sensitivity to the fact that students come from several different cultures and backgrounds, according to Bridges.

He said a question that needs to be asked is if the university is providing foods that students are familiar with and willing to purchase.

“We can demand programs, we can demand resources, but if that sensitivity isn’t there, it’s not going to work,” Bridges said.

Bridges added that food can be a way to break down taboos. He said sometimes people are more willing to be open when food is offered.

Wenli Jen, Ed.D., prevention program director at Pacific Clinics, Asian Pacific Family Center, said there are many resources online for students. Different studies on health topics are completed to know facts and figures and they can be found

through the center’s websites and social media, Jen added.

Jen also stressed the importance of making sure that students are well fed and concentrating in the classroom on the lecture instead of hunger.

Monitors hooked up to an incubator in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) indicate that a newborn’s heartbeat and blood pressure are stable with a subtle beeping sound.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

In one incubator, bright blue fluorescent bili lights illuminate down on a small three-pound baby who was born two months early and has jaundice.

The NICU is the first home for many premature babies who rely on special equipment and support to survive.

March of Dimes is an organization that provides NICUs with education programs and conducts research.

There are 15 million babies around the world born prematurely each year, according to the March of Dimes website.

March of Dimes began when comedian Eddie Cantor created a fundraiser for the National Foundation asking the public to send dimes to the White House.

Since then, March of Dimes has been a main source for “funding research and innovative programs to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality,” said Celia Wheeler, March of Dimes Orange County executive director.

The organization raises money

for its many causes by holding annual walking events.

The events, called March for Babies, originated in 1970 and are now held across the United States with more than 7 million participants each year.

There were 500 teams that participated in this year’s Orange County walk on April 28 in Newport Beach. “(March for Babies) is the oldest and one of the most popular walking events in the nation,” Wheeler said.

She added that the event is March of Dimes’ top fundraiser and has raised more than $2 billion since it began.

Cal State Fullerton’s Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda, Inc. has been a national sponsor of March of Dimes for more than 40 years and raised more than $15 million.

“We are fortunate to have great support from college students throughout Orange County, generally associated with college service groups,” Wheeler said.

The club recently donated $800 to March of Dimes by hosting three fundraisers.

“I Helped Save a Baby Today” was the club’s most recent fundraiser where a display table was set up for people to donate a dollar and sign a slip. The slips will be displayed at future March of Dimes fundraising events.

The two other fundraisers were the Rock the Halls formal and Social Networking Bowling tournament.

of the very heated rhetoric so people can engage the issue and think about the humanity of the issue as well as the more pragmatic things like border security or the integrity of US laws,” Castro said.

Castro said proposals such as the DREAM Act are sending America in the right direction of immigration reform.

“What’s nice about when you get at a university and people learn about an issue in more depth, they can start to understand the other person’s perspective,” said Spitzer. “It doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be convinced of it, but they can be a little more sympathetic and that could reduce the level of conflict and turn it into a debate and a discussion rather than just an argument.”

Assistant Dean David McKenzie and Professor Julius Watchel also led discussions about education and gun control.

She explained if a hungry person is going down a river, they are not going to have the strength to get across. She added that the Asian Pacific Family Center often has resources to offer, but no one to give them to because people are not asking for them.

“Ultimately, it’s really about waking up and knowing that health is important,” Jen said.

Walter Santizo, a volunteer for Youth Organizing for Greater Opportunity (YOGO) and Santa Ana Boys and Men of Color (SBMOC), said it is important for resource centers to know people in the community on a personal level before offering services for deep rooted issues.

Santizo said graduate students are possibly some of the most hungry people on campus.

He added that students cannot

work full time because they are studying and some have multiple jobs.

Santizo explained that some students are failing because they are going through a daily struggle of finding time to eat food.

“When it’s one person, it’s a problem, when it’s a lot of people it’s an issue, but when it’s a recurring thing it’s a disease,” said Santizo. “As a community, we’re sick so we’re looking for healing.”

DTBRIEFS FAFSA changes take effect in 2014 The U.S. Department of Education announced two changes to the federal student aid form effective to begin in the 20142015 school year.

According to a statement from the White House, the Department will now collect information, including income, from both legal parents of a dependent student regardless of their parents marital status or gender.

A new option will be added to the FAFSA forms to describe a dependent applicant’s parent’s marital status as “unmarried and both parents living together.” Additionally, the form will no longer use gender-specific terms like “mother” and “father” which will be replaced with Parent 1 (father/mother/stepparent) and Parent 2.

Previous forms excluded income from one of the student’s legal parents (biological or adoptive) if the parents were unmarried. Gender-specific terms failed to recognize information from one parent if the applicants parents were in a state recognized same-sex marriage.

The new changes are expected to enhance the calculation of federal student aid based on the entire family’s contribution.

President Obama appoints head of transportation President Barack Obama has nominated Anthony Foxx, mayor of Charlotte, N.C., as head of the Department of Transportation, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Foxx, 41, is in his first term as Mayor of Charlotte, and Obama cited Foxx’s experience in spearheading transportation initiatives as the main motivation for nominating him for the position. Obama praised Foxx’s streetcar initiative and airport expansion for creating new jobs, during a press conference introducing Foxx.

Foxx will be replacing outgoing secretary Ray LaHood, a former congressman who became the head of the Department of Transportation in 2009.

During his confirmation process, Foxx pledged to put aside partisan politics and work with lawmakers, stating there is “no such thing as a Democratic or Republican” transportation project.

He is one of two AfricanAmerican members of the President’s second-term status, the other being Attorney General Eric Holder, who assumed office in February of 2009.

MIMI HUNG / Daily Titan Julie Strou, Pamela Harrell and Sharon Avey observe items of the exhibit titled “Keepers of Orange County’s Past: Preserving Our Heritage” on Thursday at the John D. Cooper Archaeological and Paleontological Center.

FOSSILS: Center focuses on whales CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Pamela Harrell, Orange County Historical commissioner and alumni of CSUF, explained what goes on behind the scenes of the exhibit and how planning for exhibits ultimately started back in the 1990s.

“As a commissioner, we oversee the historic sites throughout Orange County,” said Harrell. “A lot of the inner workings of the things you don’t see like putting on this exhibit right now, the beginnings of it actually start with a commission reviewing that help them get on board with Cal State Fullerton.”

She added that her field of interest is getting the education of Orange County history to children and adults, regardless of what side she is on.

Jeannine Pedersen, the associate curator for archaeology at the Cooper Center, said most of the fossils at the exhibit were marine based, since most of Orange County was under water millions of years ago.

“For fossils, I think the most interesting thing is that they date back over 180 million years of history, and

I think a lot of people living in Orange County don’t even consider that,” Pedersen said. “For most of that time we were underwater, so we have a lot of fossil sharks and fossil whales.”

“It’s likely that people were here in the region between 1213,000 years ago.”

JEANNINE PEDERSEN Cooper Center Curator

Pedersen explained that the human artifacts displayed at the exhibit such as projectile points and shell beads help provide the center with incentives towards finding more human evidence around Orange County.

“Our oldest site in the collection is about 9,280 years old, but we are pret-

ty certain people were here before that, so one of our big goals is to find that site, that date that brings us back further than that,” Pedersen said. “It’s likely that people were here in the region between 12,000-13,000 years ago.”

Meredith Rivin, the associate curator of paleontology at the Cooper Center, explained how her specific research and interest at the center involves early whales.

“The Cooper Center has a huge variety of mayacine marine mammals, particularly whales and dolphins, but also the panapen seals, sea lions, and walruses,” said Rivin.

“I am interested in the ancient ecosystems from the mayacine about 20 million years ago.”

Lipps said he hopes the attendees take away the meaning behind the exhibit’s subtitle, “Preserving our Heritage.”

“That (subtitle) is what we are preserving for people of Orange County, the state and even the world,” said Lipps. “Some of these fossil whales are really important in a world view of whale biodiversity.”

Woman convicted of cutting penis off A Garden Grove woman was convicted Monday of cutting her estranged husband’s penis off and is facing 52 years to life in prison, according to the Orange County Register.

Catherine Kieu, 50, sliced her husband’s penis off on July 11, 2011. According to reports, when the husband woke up, he saw Kieu standing at the foot of the bed yelling at him while she was holding the knife.

A recording of the attack unveils that Kieu then stuck the severed penis down the garbage disposal. The organ was recovered but was too damaged to reattach to the victim.

The Deputy District Attorney John Christi described Kieu as a woman who was controlling, manipulative and extremely jealous due to her troubled childhood.

Kieu’s defense attorney argued that she was suffering from emotional issues from her childhood. Growing up, Kieu fled war-torn Vietnam to the United States and was also molested by her brother.

Sentencing is due to take place June 28.

DEVIL’S TUESDAY

THE DAILY TITAN

ADVOCATE The terminally ill should be told of their fate

Courtesy of MCT The British Medical Journal recently had doctors debate whether or not terminally ill patients should automatically be informed they are dying, the issue splitting physicians along both sides.

Patients have a right and privilege to know

Sometimes knowing does more harm than good

PRO: JENNIFER NGUYEN

CON: MATTHEW PIER

A close family friend of ours was diagnosed with liver cancer early last fall. Doctors told him that he had only a few months left to live.

If treatments went well, there was a chance he could live a bit longer than expected.

A few months was enough time for his wife and children to reach out and inform their relatives and close friends of the news.

For the next few months following the official diagnosis, numerous people—from within Orange County and some as far as San Jose and Dallas—visited him, especially on weekends. He got to spend his Christmas with many of us, which was filled with joy, food, laughter and NBA games.

Unfortunately, it was his last Christmas. On Jan. 15, he passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family and friends.

While it may seem to be a given that doctors are to inform terminally-ill patients of their conditions, there have been debates between physicians over whether or not patients need to know they are dying, according to the Los Angeles Times.

As the latest topic of discussion in the British Medical Journal, some of the questions being asked among physicians are: How does one inform a patient they are dying? When is it most appropriate to let them know?

One major question that has come up, though, is why should the patient know they are dying?

First, and foremost, I personally find this to be an odd question to ponder. If I was terminally ill and did not have much time left in life, I would want to know.

Sure, the fact that I would only have a few months left or so to live isn’t exactly news I, or anyone for that matter, would want to know. But, as depressing as this may sound, whether or not I’d be informed, I would eventually succumb to the illness(es).

With that said, anyone in such position should have the right to know.

This would allow one time to say goodbyes, see everyone one last time and as well as plan with loved ones how they want their final months, weeks, days and hours to be.

If it was a possibility to continue seeking more ways to try to improve one’s chance for survival, doctors being honest with a terminally-ill patient could really open doors for that as well. To die without knowing everything that led up to it, information that doctors had known this entire time, is a very disturbing thing to try to comprehend.

If a patient refuses to know, that is understandable and should be respected. But to withhold such information from those who prefer to know? This really concerns me.

It is hard for physicians to tell patients and their loved ones such a difficult truth and it could lead to individuals feeling more distressed than they already are, but at the end of the day, telling the truth is an act of respect.

In a nutshell, many people’s lives are put in the hands of doctors. We count on doctors to improve our health and well-being, especially when serious health issues are encountered.

It is automatically expected of physicians to inform patients of what they’ll be standing up against, what tests could be done and whether or not treatment is available, as well as one’s overall progress along the way, and most importantly, trust.

In the event where a physician refuses to let terminally-ill patients know that they are nearing their last months, weeks and days of life, trust does not exist whatsoever. This also applies to any situation where patients must know where they stand in terms of their health; if nothing is said, or only partial information is given, it is inexcusable.

Because our family friend was rightfully informed of his deteriorating condition last year, he was comforted by the fact that he was able to spend his final months with family and friends—an opportunity he would not have otherwise had.

A growing debate within the medical industry, the choice to inform terminally ill patients that they will soon die, has become increasingly difficult.

While it is true that knowledge is power, it must be added that power is not always a good thing. In this case, it adds stress to someone who already knows that the odds are not in their favor.

Not to intentionally pour salt into the fresh wound of many Lakers fans, but as a sports enthusiast, their recent struggles provide a perfect analogy.

The team had an unimpressive NBA season, but did manage to claw their way into the playoffs.

However, if they were told two weeks ago that they were going to lose in the first round without winning a single game, would they have even bothered trying to make the playoffs?

The same can be said for those that are told how long they have to live. The news of death coming in the near future instantly extinguishes all hope and can ruin the remaining life a person has.

A study reported by the Los Angeles Times found that “the proportion of Medicare patients dying in hospice care nearly doubled from 22 percent in 2000 to 42 percent in 2009.” Nearly 850,000 death re-

cords were used in the study, with 28 percent dying in less than four days of hospice.

This service of allowing for a comfortable transition into death is popular among Americans, as surveys have concluded nine out of 10 people would prefer to die in their own home.

As a man who watched his sixfoot, 300-pound grandfather shrink into an almost unrecognizable person, I can personally attest that it is not peaceful for all parties involved.

All hope for a cure ends and it simply prolongs the inevitable.

I have also attended American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, where it is incredibly inspiring to see people walking and running after their doctor told them they should already be dead. Doctors can only give their opinions on medical treatment, and medicine itself is not an exact science.

What works for one patient is not universally true for all others.

Patients burdened by their already shortened life expectancy handle the devastating information by way of refusal or acceptance.

Refusing to believe can give hope.

The expected death date provides a goal, to beat the odds and prolong their life. It can also cause patients to get multiple opinions or seek other medical options for a cure.

Those who accept the news spend the rest of their time simply preparing for the end. This leads to either getting the most out of the rest of their life or spending the remaining amount in comfort.

In both cases, an arbitrary date is now the primary focus as the patient’s life has been dramatically altered. Most patients in these situations know they are terminally ill.

They are simply fighting and hoping that something will change. Again, that hope can be the motivator keeping them from slipping out of this world.

And since they are in these unfortunate circumstances, the belief that telling them of their end to give them time to put their affairs in order is a myth: Those issues were most likely resolved when the illness originated.

Doctors dealing with terminally ill patients do not have to tell them something they already know. What they should be explaining is how to improve the quality of their lives.

Any additional time they receive will become that much better. I know if I were to ever be in that situation, I would rather the doctor keep that information from me.

Death can come for anyone at any moment, for it is what makes life worth living and why we should cherish each day we have.

Faith is a supplement, not a cure-all for diseases PETER PHAM Daily Titan

So there’s this new pill they sell behind the counter, it’s both a multivitamin and antibiotic. It’s an anesthetic and a vaccine. It’s basically an all-around panacea and magic bullet all rolled into one convenient capsule; you’ll never have to leave your house to buy it, either. Best of all, it’s absolutely free.

It’s called faith. The only problem is, it’s not really FDA approved yet.

According to an article published

by NPR, a Philadelphia couple who were already facing manslaughter charges for the death of their 2-yearold son are now facing new charges for yet another child that passed away under their watch.

In 2009, Herbert and Catherine Schaible’s son Kent suffered from bacterial pneumonia with symptoms such as coughing, congestion and loss of appetite. Naturally, the couple turned to prayer instead of seeking immediate medical attention for Kent until he died days later.

Now the Schaibles are facing new charges when another child of theirs, 8-month-old Brandon, passed away from breathing problems. The Schaibles did not seek out any medical attention for their child, even with parole still looming over their heads for the death of Kent, and prayed for Brandon’s recovery.

Growing up Catholic in a religious family, faith played a huge role in my adolescent development. Though that faith has waned back-and-forth throughout the last few years, it’s still relevant in my life. But to think that doing nothing but prayer for your child’s well-being and expecting immedi-

ate results is just ridiculous.

Faith is something that should help provide strength to the Schaibles after they took all the necessary precautions to help their children, not a magic cure. It’s like declaring bankruptcy aloud and expecting all your debts to go away.

In 2009, a young girl in Wisconsin, 11-year-old Kara Neumann, died of diabetic ketoacidosis resulting from untreated juvenile diabetes.

According to the New York Times, Kara could not walk or even speak, but her parents prayed for her recovery with all their might.

It was only when her aunt called the authorities saying her sick niece needed to be rescued did the paramedics come to take her in for medical attention.

Kara was pronounced dead on arrival.

Growing up in a religious family with a history of diabetes, we went to see a doctor to get our insulin fix and then we’d go to church. It’s incomprehensible how parents can witness their child suffer through so much pain, yet leave their fate to a higher power without first doing something about it themselves.

Religion is a great spiritual center and will definitely get you through tough times, but actions must be taken to ensure everything that could possibly be done has been done before sitting back, taking a breath and saying a prayer. I’m not going to show up to a physics final, after a whole night of cramming in prayers, without a lick of studying done, and expect an A-plus.

No, I’m going to get an F. An F for foolishness.

Finally, there’s the story of Rus-

sel and Brandi Bellow, a “faith healer” couple from Oregon who plead guilty of negligent homicide, according to ABC News.

Brandi’s 16-year-old son, Austin, was experiencing flu-like symptoms and the couple prayed for his recovery. An autopsy report showed that Austin had died from an infection from a burst appendix that had gone untreated while his folks were busy praying.

The Simpsons episode “Faith Off” comes to mind whenever the subject of faith-healing is brought up. Bart “heals” Milhouse of his vision impairment by knocking off his glasses, resulting in the blind VanHouten

boy getting run over by an oncoming vehicle. When Milhouse asks Bart to heal his injuries, Bart says he is unable to.

What we need to do is stop being Milhouses and take our health into our own hands.

Faith can be a powerful tool when it comes to spiritual need. Sometimes, when times are tough and there’s nothing left to do, faith can be all one has to go on. But sometimes faith just needs to take a backseat when it comes to the immediate health of a child, or anyone for that matter, when medical attention can be sought out first. Go see a doctor.

Then pray.

Archaic laws for modern technologies MATTHEW PIER Daily Titan

For many of us, emails and online interactions have become daily activities. Few probably realize that it can all be read with the issuing of a simple subpoena.

Just like the actual fingerprints we leave after touching something, we also leave digital ones when we connect online. That information is stored and can easily be accessed by the government.

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) was created in 1986, when the term “email” was not used and people would have to explain the transmitting of electronic data by use of computers.

It has quickly become archaic and is in need of a major facelift.

The act allows government officials to access a citizen’s online accounts without full judicial review. Subpoenas are not approved by judges and can be created if a government agent believes certain information may be relevant to an investigation. Furthermore, the same document allows access to view emails that are more than six months old or have previously been opened.

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently passed a measure that would “require the government to get a search warrant, issued by a judge, to gain access to personal emails and all other electronic content held by a third-party service provider,” according to the New York Times.

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) was one of the original bill’s sponsors and agrees in modernizing the law.

“When I led the effort to write ECPA 27 years ago, email was a novelty,” said Leahy. “Three decades later, we must update this law, so that the law protects our privacy rights and keeps pace with innovation and the challenging mission of law enforcement.”

The bill is awaiting the full ap-

proval of the Senate.

The updates to the ECPA would help distinguish email and online content as real objects of ownership, even if they are saved in a cloud on servers thousands of miles away. They would be treated as letters or photographs stored in a box at home, requiring an actual judgesigned warrant to access them.

It is a huge change and one I am glad they are making. Privacy is becoming increasingly irrelevant as people put their entire lives online.

Friend someone on Facebook and you can catch up on 30 years in 30 minutes. Photographs, postings, status updates, likes, dislikes and location tracking can paint a very vivid picture.

This is the primary reason why I do not use sites like Facebook, for I do not wish to have my private life made public. Even controlling the content I post along with using the privacy settings, information can still get leaked to those I do not know. It is unsettling knowing that the government can currently pry into my life simply because it’s easy to.

Obtaining information online is much easier and cheaper than actually going out into the real

world and getting it.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter do require search warrants for information, but subpoenas can grant access to information like names and email addresses. The ECPA ultimately calls into question the notion of privacy and how it is defined.

For example, the bill allows the government to track cell phones as long as they are not in private areas.

The internet may not be one of those places as online privacy is becoming more transparent as technology advances. Background checks now include learning someone’s online persona from popular sites to see the digital self they project.

Employers now want to know everything about potential employees, both at and away from work. If your professional profile on LinkedIn does not match who you are on Facebook, you may not get the job.

There is enough concern over online privacy and security without worrying about Big Brother sticking his nose in too.

If emails and other online content are going to be used as evidence in the judicial system, then they need to be obtained and treated like all other physical evidence.

Armstrong needs to deliver on unjust funds STEPHANIE MERCADO Daily Titan

It was an international shame the moment American cycling’s tragic hero Lance Armstrong admitted to years of doping throughout his fraudulent triumphs; it was an admission that inevitably stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles.

Now, the U.S. government attempts to sue Armstrong for misrepresenting his sponsor and nationwide symbol, the United States Postal Service—definite salt to the wound.

The American habit of vengeance seeks out Armstrong to outweigh the embarrassment of a bittersweet truth.

A formal complaint was filed in February by Armstrong’s former teammate, Floyd Landis, that described him and the rest of the team as “unjustly enriched to the extent of the payments and other benefits they received from (the Postal Service), directly or indirectly.” From 1998 to 2004 the Postal Service spent about $40 million to sponsor the team.

About $17 million of this was paid to Armstrong, who won six of the

seven Tour de France titles the team participated in during that time.

Armstrong quickly became an American icon, receiving love as the tragic hero, and just as immediately that image unravelled under much deserved scrutiny. Now, potentially being sued by the government for three times the amount of losses due to fraudulence, it is reasonable

for the Postal Service to want the money back.

It needs it, too.

For years, the Postal Service has been struggling with the technological takeover in the mail industry. It has experienced tremendous losses from company efforts to go green and promote paperless transactions via online.

However, in the era that Armstrong was under the spotlight of the Tour de France, his lawyer, Elliot Peters, said in a statement, “the U.S. Postal Service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship of the cycling team … The USPS was never the victim of fraud. Lance Armstrong rode his heart out for the USPS team, and gave the brand tremendous exposure during the sponsorship years.”

And having already been stripped of all seven of his titles, Armstrong continues to carry the burden of years of knowingly misusing performance-enhancing drugs and misrepresenting an American team. But, it is difficult to say if the punishment fits the crime.

There seem to be several ulterior motives to Armstrong’s lawsuit: A punishment of poor moral behavior while under international spotlight, a measure of payback against a fallen icon and most importantly, the Postal Service needs money.

It is fair that Armstrong had been revoked of his winnings, and yes there should be some sort of fine due on his part, but to sue him of everything that he has and more seems bullying. These initial accusations only sprouted after Landis was stripped of his 2006 title after testing positive for performanceenhancing drugs. Armstrong was not the only one on the team doping, yet he has become the face of these trials.

The government continues to find ways to punish Armstrong and the rest of the Postal Service cycling team, including their team director John Bruyneel and management company Tailwind Sports. No matter which way the story is taken, it is an altogether embarrassing and awkward situation.

If the country didn’t already dislike us, imagine what the French think of us now.

MARCH: Club raises money for charity CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The winner of the tournament was able to donate the proceeds from that event to a charity of their choice and picked March of Dimes.

“It (has) been rewarding for both myself and our members to participate in these events,” said Kevin McNulty, president of FBLA-PBL and accounting major.

He said it is important to help others and that is why the club’s partnership with March of Dimes is beneficial to the club and organization.

“This creates a win-win situation where our members have the opportunity work on real life projects, while at the same time, the money we raise (goes towards) a worthy cause,” McNulty said.

Feigned IDs reined in DAVID LEOS

For the Daily Titan

Monday through Thursday were filled with dragging lectures and countless hours spent studying for that Biology 101 exam.

After surviving the daily grind, Friday and Saturday are days to let loose.

Some students choose to remedy the pressures of education with alcohol, and even if they aren’t legally allowed to drink, younger students find a way to appear older.

Usage of fake IDs has not been considered high priority issue at Cal State Fullerton.

University Police Capt. John Brockie said fake IDs have not been a constant problem for campus police, although some activity has been noted.

California Vehicle Code 25661 states, “Any person under the age of 21 years who presents or offers to any licensee, his or her agent or employee, any written, printed, or photostatic evidence of age and identity which is false ... is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of at least two hundred fifty dollars ($250).”

“In 2011 we made zero arrests and in 2012 we made two arrests for the above section,” said Brockie.

Of the 34,000 students enrolled at CSUF this semester, nearly 31 percent are under the legal drinking age of 21, according to a 2013 report by the Institutional Research and Analytical Studies.

Lea M. Jarnagin, Ed.D., dean of students, said on the collegiate level, the university will take appropriate action to a student possessing a fake ID when this is discovered as part of a student violating a related university policy or standard.

Sandra Rhoten, associate dean of Judicial Affairs, said fake IDs are usually discovered as part of another investigation.

“Usually it has been that a student was stopped by University Police for something else (perhaps minor in possession),” said Rhoten.

“Students who are found responsible for an alcohol violation are normally placed on a probationary status, (and) required to attend an alcohol class,” she said.

Mariah Tankersley, 17, an El Dorado High School senior, said she had a custom ID made for herself last year.

other organization.

March of Dimes uses donations for education programs and for support groups catered toward helping families with babies born premature or with birth defects.

“If our generation can do something now, even if that something is just donating a dollar, then I believe it is important for all of us to encourage those actions,” said Perez.

Perez said she knows from firsthand experience how March of Dimes benefits these babies.

“I was born premature and probably would not be here if the March of Dimes had not come up with the procedures and tests that help assist premature babies,” she said.

les,” said Tankersley. “It had my picture, signature, address—everything.”

According to the 2013 I.D. Checking Guide, there are three types of fake IDs: counterfeit, forged and altered IDs. Upon receiving her counterfeit ID, Tankersley noticed immediately that it had some flaws.

“It was a little bit thinner than the normal ones, and it was pretty shiny,” she said.

A week later, she tried to use it at a nightclub in Los Angeles. That night she learned that her concerns about the fake IDs appearance and sensation were valid.

“The (bouncer) didn’t even have to look at it, he just felt it. He was like, ‘This is a fake ID, ma’am,’” Tankersley said.

Tankersley said he confiscated the ID and then asked her to leave.

Since her counterfeit ID was retired on its maiden voyage, Tankersley said she now relies on the retired IDs of her friends and acquaintances.

“The hardest fake ID to spot is a real one used by a different person,” said Herlim Li, a doorman and bartender at the Good Luck Bar in Los Angeles.

The first time Tankersley used a forged ID for entry was at a rave. She said even though she had a similar appearance to her stand-in, she was far from a doppelganger.

“(The ID) didn’t look much like me, it was the fact that she had blonde hair and colored eyes (like me),” Tankersley said.

That’s what got her through the gates.

The phone rings. An email suddenly pops on the screen. A student walks in, he says he is here to see the department chair for a noon appointment.

The administrative assistant calls the chair, notifying them that the student is waiting for them in the lobby.

The assistant goes on to answer the ringing phone—it’s the 20th time today.

She hangs up, pencils in an appointment for the next day and turns her attention to the stack of papers labeled “urgent.”

Leilani Thomas is the administrative assistant for the department chair for Human Services and Counseling. She has been working in that department for almost five years.

“We help anyone that comes in, whether it be students, faculty, the public any interest of people that want to know about the program,” said Thomas.

Thomas takes care of the mail and helps students with their scheduling issues.

Along with taking care of the budget, the administrative assistants hire student assistants.

Thomas keeps a to-do list to help keep her organized around her busy schedule. She has a few different piles on her desk as a way to prioritize what needs attention and set apart other to-do’s that can wait.

Although some tasks can take a short amount of time, other things like placing textbook orders for the Human Services Department and master’s in counseling classes can take a few weeks, especially when ordering desk copies for faculty.

“That’s a huge job in itself because all the publishers are really picky,” Thomas said. “It takes a lot of research and finding out publisher contact and what they expect, they are all different.”

Thomas also takes care of restocking and ordering school supplies for faculty members in the department. School supplies are

always in stock in a room, in case any professors are in need.

Thomas said she enjoys the interactions she gets with her co-workers.

“What I do, I enjoy, so coming to work is actually awesome. I can honestly say that,” Thomas said.

Heather Guzman has been administrative support assistant for the dean of the College of the Arts for nearly nine years.

Guzman’s job is to assist the dean and the students and help them in anyway they might need. Her responsibilities include doing clerical and receptionist-type work for the deans of the college.

She said the busiest times of year vary, but usually peak times occur either at the beginning or end of the semester.

“Certain times of the year it’s more busy, like the first few weeks of school seems to be a very busy time, commencement time is a busy time,” said Guzman.

Guzman said she enjoys being part of the College of the Arts because she is located next to a gallery and she sees a lot of theater and art performances, as well as exhibitions.

A rewarding part of her job is helping students and seeing them succeed, when the department takes part in commencement.

“Being able to see the students from freshmen, to senior, to even graduate level ... We see them through the whole thing ... it’s like you’re watching your own kid

sometimes,” Guzman said.

Stacey M. Wilson is the assistant to the dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences and a human resources analyst/specialist.

Wilson works closely with the dean, helps manage his calendar and makes his appointments and meetings.

Wilson also manages his contacts outside and inside of campus.

She said she serves as the liaison between the dean’s office and the different departments within the college.

With all the responsibilities she has as an assistant, Wilson said staying organized is key.

“You have to stay organized and stay on top of things because when (the dean) needs something its all hands on deck. You drop what you’re doing and you get it on and you move on,” Wilson said.

Wilson also takes care of student payroll process and faculty hiring.

Although Wilson is not the only person answering all the calls, she said the dean gets around 20 to 50 phone calls a day and around 100 emails that the assistants take care of.

For Wilson, being a liaison between the dean and everyone else can be difficult at times because she sometimes have to be the bearer of bad news for the dean.

“There are times where (the dean) really relies on me to keep him on point ... to remind him, to help him prep for things,” Wilson said.

“I think I am fairly influential.”

Weight training without the weights

Expeditiously nearing the starting corrals Every stride that I run after mile 20 will be a personal feat.

While I have trained consistently for the past four months, every mile past the 20-mile threshold will be the farthest distance I have ever traveled by foot.

I’m just starting to realize just how far 26.2 miles is. In terms of congested Orange County freeways, I will be traveling a distance greater than the intervals of the 5 and 57 that link CSUF with my hometown of Mission Viejo.

In traffic, this drive takes me an hour. In marathon time, I’m estimating that this journey will take me 3 hours and 40 minutes.

I will be starting this journey at 5:30 a.m. next week. The opening five miles will be a breeze of adrenaline and excitement. From here it will be gradual decline of morale and energy leading to an almost insurmountable obstacle that some runners have described as “the wall.”

Its portrayal in the Simon Pegg movie Run, Fat Boy, Run is dauntingly accurate. As Pegg’s character realizes that he has nine miles to go after 12 hours of running on a sprained ankle, he waddles into an invisible barrier. Manifesting itself as a two-story brick wall, he looks at it in disbelief, contemplating giving up.

I’m positive that mile 20 will be my wall. Moving with tired form and delirious from the miles behind me, I will see the 20-mile marker and realize that I’m crossing a critical threshold. At this point, the end will be in sight but without any experience going this

far, my mind will doubt my body’s ability to go any further.

In many ways, mile 20 will be the start of my marathon. No matter how much I have trained, nothing will prepare me for this mental hurdle.

The first reaction will be panic.

My mind will begin to doubt itself, leading to an immediate slowing of my pace. Every mile will go by slower. Every step will get a little harder. As the lactic acid continues to build in my muscles, slight pains will become noticeable. The balls of my feet will ache, forcing me to strike the ground with my heels first. My back will keel over and my form will begin to suffer.

I’ve thought through this scenario a hundred times, trying to prepare a reason or motivation to use in order to keep my body going.

My first counter attack will be to remember why I started running nine years ago. Frustrated and confused by adolescence, running gave me a release from the world. I wasn’t motivated by the pursuit of fitness or a healthy lifestyle, it was the escape from the

world that I craved. By putting on running shoes, listening to music and escaping into the night for half an hour, I hit a metaphorical reset button on my mind, and was able to attack the tasks of the day with vigor and a higher spirit.

As the physical pain infests my body, I’ll remember the many years that I have been running and the peace that it’s given me.

Second, I will remember the horrible events at the Boston Marathon. I will remember the people who lost their lives and their limbs at the finish line. Those last six miles will be in their honor.

Brick by brick, the wall will fall.

My pace will quicken, my back will stand straight and my eyes will be lifted from the concrete in front of me toward the approaching finish line. The negativity and feeling of pain will be rung from my mind like water from a wet rag with every widening step.

As I stumble through the finish line, delirious and more fatigued than I have ever been in my life, it will all be worth it.

“All human beings should be able to perform basic maintenance on themselves” is the title of a blog

by Kelly Starrett Doctor of Physical Therapy. This holds true for people that do body-weight training, which uses no exercise equipment—only one’s body.

Body-weight training can include things like push-ups, squats, sit-ups or even yoga. Because this type of exercise requires no equipment, it can be done just about anywhere.

For students, this can be beneficial because of the time or traveling to the gym constraint.

“Body weight (training) specifically is nice, because it can be done anywhere. You don’t need equipment, you don’t have to pay gym dues, you don’t have to leave your house, you can do it while you’re traveling,” said Professor Andrew Galpin, Ph.D. “It eliminates your excuses to not exercise.”

Body weight exercising can be helpful for people who are in the beginning level, especially for people just starting to exercise because it teaches people the quality of the movement. Stabilizing joints is something that is also important when exercising.

“It helps you learn how to move your body. If you can’t move your body without weight, you certainly can’t move it when you put weight on top of it,” Galpin added.

Doing bodyweight exercises can also help improve your flexibility.

People also like to use body weight exercising for conditioning. People who want to get fit can use it to help

them lose weight.

Galpin said that a reasonable amount of body-weight exercising is three times per week for about thirty minutes. He also encourages to not overly exert yourself and start off slow, then gradually progress.

After getting used to working out, you can do different body weight exercises that can help you build muscles. Some include chinups/pull-ups, a back bridge (which improves the health of your spine) and a skater squat, which is similar to a pistol squat.

According to Jason Ferruggia’s “50 Renegade Rules” website, to do a skater squat simply bend one knee behind you and squat straight down to the floor. It’s like a pistol squat, only the leg is bent behind you instead of straight out in front of you.

When you do more intense bodyweight exercises, it is recommended to do somewhere between five to 10 reps, on average.

Drop In Fitness instructor of Butts, Guts and Thighs at the Student Recreation Center (SRC), Francisco Torres, 23, child adolescent studies major, said, “You workout your body so you create stamina and endurance, strengthen and have more energy throughout the day.”

Torres said that the classes at the SRC can help with being motivated because you are working out with other people. His class lasts an hour and works. In some of the exercises, they use an elastic band and put it inside of the foot and cross it in front of your other leg.

“It’s all in resistance,” said Torres.

Professor Lee Brown, Ph.D., said that body weight training has low resistance.

“It allows you to learn proper technique of exercise first before you begin to overload your system with

weights.” said Brown.

A small disadvantage of body weight training can be that you are limited in increasing the amount of weight being used. Some encourage to do bodyweight exercises along with weight lifting.

As you look for work out ideas, Galpin said that a good place to start is the Internet. He said that some trainers are not trained proficiently in using body weight training effectively, but there are a lot of examples online.

Still, if you are a beginner to working out, body weight exercising is a good way to go as you put your feet in the water.

EXERCISES Push-Up Performed by laying facedown with the palms on the floor and pushing the body up and down with the arms.

Pull-Up An arm exercise performed by pulling oneself up on a horizontal bar until chin is level with the bar.

Plank Performed by lying on the stomach and lifting the body by keeping the forearms and toes on the ground.

The fruits of yoga: mental and physical TIFFANY JOHNSTONE Daily Titan

As finals are fast approaching with projects and term papers due, many students are exhausted from the workload. The seemingly endless monotonous cycle of going to class, studying and working can take its toll on the student body.

Because of this, many students have found a hobby in doing yoga and are surprised to find there are certain benefits for the mind and body.

Tracey Greenberg, a yoga instructor at the Yoga Mat OC in Orange, said yoga is 100 percent about breathing techniques because that is where the meditation comes in and where the mental and physical benefits are happening.

“Especially when you hold a pose and breathe, that’s when your heart rate might be elevated but you’re calming your nervous system and that’s when all the benefits work on your body,” Greenberg said.

The type of breathing techniques used in yoga is called ujjayi, which is calm, audible, long-extended nostril breathing. Greenberg said this type of breathing is proven to keep your body calm, even though your heart rate is up, it will eventually

slow down once you’re in a pose and breathing.

Jessica Klingsberg, a physical therapist at Saint Jude Medical Center, said yoga accounts for improved neural mobility, increased joint range of motion, and research has shown cardiovascular benefits with yoga.

“We’ve also known for several years that positioning in inverted positions have helped increase blood flow to the cells of the neurons in the brain, which is likely to decrease the risk of memoryrelated deficits as people age,” Klinsberg said. “So, in yoga, some of the positions are inverted where the head drops below the heart and you get increased blood flow to the brain.”

Klinsberg is also yoga certified and integrates some yoga positions into her therapeutic exercises with patients. He also added that in some cases, yoga can be a substitute for medication and is often used in addition to medicine.

When taking a yoga class, it is vital to leave your ego at the door, Greenberg said. Being vulnerable in yoga builds strength not only mentally, but physically. Greenberg has found that when she is kinder to herself and moves at her own pace in her

yoga practice, she gets the most out of the experience.

“It takes a while to drop into that mental stillness, especially for a really active mind,” Greenberg said.

Greenberg said that if there is one thing she could get across to students, it would be to dedicate an hour a day, maybe five times a week, to doing yoga. She also said that he believes that its especially

hard for students to find the time to work out, but it does make a difference.

“You get to clear your mind from all the class stressors for even just an hour and it’s almost like you’re resetting yourself,” Greenberg said. “You’re rebooted, you’re good to go, your mind is clear, your body has less angst and then you go back to your studies. I think not only will it boost your energy, but it will boost your brain activity.”

According to the Integral Yoga Institute’s Stress Management Teacher Training manual, stress hormones are released during yoga that prepare the entire system for action, this helps to prevent or correct chronic fatigue and depression long term. Digestion also ceases, which diverts blood to large muscles and the brain which prevents and helps correct muscle tension, fatigue and muscle wasting long-term.

“It’s really good to know what’s going on internally … once you start looking from the inside out rather than just the physical as-

pect, it’s surreal, things start to slow down for you, you become more patient, the little things don’t matter as much, and you start to pick your battles,” Greenberg said.

Greenberg said that once you silence your mind and focus on yourself, life become easier to maneuver.

“You become nicer to yourself and more patient with yourself … you don’t beat up on yourself as much,” Greenberg said.

Dorina Stern, a marriage and family therapist in Mission Viejo, confirmed that her patients who do yoga have a reduction in stress and anxiety as well as an improvement in energy levels.

“Most people who do yoga have reported good results with anxiety reduction,” Stern said.

Yoga helps people in many ways and students can make time to take a one-hour class a day because the benefits are worth it.

Free drop-in yoga classes are offered in the Student Recreation Center, Monday through Friday at different times for students’ convenience.
