Candidates Spar for Delegates

LJHS Increases Campus Security

Trump and Cruz pull ahead in GOP; Clinton and Sanders ght for key demographicsBy Brooke KaufmanStaff Writer As the Democratic and Re-publican conventions drawnear, the candidates are inwhirlwind campaign mode tosecure votes in nationwide pri-maries and caucuses. On Super uesday, Donald

rump and Hillary Clinton se-cured their leads to take home

the majority o delegates. Inthe GOP race, ed Cruz se-cured his second-place statuswhile Democrat Bernie Sand-ers won our states, scoring acommanding 86% victory inhis home state o Vermont. In the days leading up toMarch 1st, commonly knownas “Super uesday,” chaos en-sued within the Republicanparty. Te party’s rontrunner,Donald rump, aced multipleattacks rom his ellow can-

didates ed Cruz and MarcoRubio, who labeled rump a“con artist,” a “liar,” and “untto run” against the likely Dem-ocratic nominee.

rump had managed to stirup additional controversy by

re-tweeting a quote rom Fas-cist Italian leader Benito Mus-solini just days be ore votingcommenced. Many predicted that the

most damaging item to rumpwould be his support rom

ormer Ku Klux Klan GrandWizard David Duke, and whatmany described as his conict-ed response. Afer disavowing Duke’s

support (there was never a or-mal endorsement) at a presscon erence, rump went onCNN’s State of the Union dayslater and told Jake apper hedidn’t know anything aboutDavid Duke or white suprem-acists endorsing him. rumplater blamed his answer on abad ear-piece, telling the TodayShow he “could hardly hear

what [ apper] was saying.” As polls opened on March1st, however, rump’s sup-porters were un azed by theseattacks and/or controversies,and he managed to clinch a to-tal o seven states by the end othe night: Alabama, Arkansas,Georgia, Massachusetts, en-nessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Cruz secured an unexpect-edly close second place, tak-ing three states and leavingwith only 35 delegates lessthan rump’s nal 252. Tis

La Jolla High School nowhas a new security guard oncampus. Shelly Villegas will be join-ing Mr. David Bueno (lef)in patrolling the campus andkeeping the school secure. Principal Dr. Chuck Pod-horsky said the process o hir-ing a guard has been a longone. He has been working on it

since the start o the year.

He says that to his knowl-edge we have ewer securityguards than most campuses. Mr. Bueno said, “It helps tohave someone else because shecan watch the 900 buildingwhile I can stay at the lowerpart o campus. Tat way wedivide the school and ensureits sa ety.” Bueno continued: “We reallyneed a emale so she can moni-tor the girl’s bathrooms as I amnot allowed in there and there

is a lot o stuff going on.”

By Jimmy IrwinStaff Writer SeaWorld has admitted thatit sent in employees to inte-grate with and spy on animalrights group PE A. Te CEO o the amusementpark company, Joel Manby,owned up to allegations osuch activities by SeaWorld onTursday. He told the press that thepurpose o the operation wasto “maintain the sa ety and se-curity o company employees,customers and animals in the

ace o credible threats.” Last year, PE A called outa SeaWorld employee namedPaul McComb or creatingposts on social media urgingactivists to engage in illegal ac-tivity. He used an alias online. When interviewed about it,PE A Senior Vice PresidentLisa Lange stated, “SeaWorldknows that the public is reject-ing its cruel orca prisons andis so desperate that it createda corporate espionage cam-paign.” SeaWorld has been greatlyharmed by the 2013 documen-tary Blacksh, a lm targeted atexposing the living conditions

o orcas in the parks, and theways that the company trans-ports the whales. Te lm generated public

ury and even protests at theparks. SeaWorld has seen itsstock lose over 50% o its val-ue since Blacksh was released,with attendance and park pro -its eroding as well. Responding to the ani-mal mistreatment charged byBlacksh, Mr. Manby replied,“Tese allegations, i true, arenot consistent with the valueso the SeaWorld organizationand will not be tolerated.” SeaWorld has been high-ly vocal in its response to thelm, engaging PR rm 42Westto counter the criticism. Te company pledged tospend upwards o $10 millionto restore satis actory prot-ability with targeted print, tele- vision, and other campaigns. On March 3, SeaWorld offi-cials reported that ilikum, thewhale prominently eatured inBlacksh, had allen gravely ill. For a company already strug-gling to regain public trust, thespying con ession and news o

ilikum’s ailment may provedifficult to rebound rom.

Wearing college sweatshirtshas become a ashion trend osorts.

Like Birkenstocks and Cal- vin Klein logo wear, dressingonesel in a hoodie rom your

avorite university has essen-tially become the sign o “cool”among high school students inAmerica. In the past, students didn’tbegin wearing the an gearo their avorite schools un-til they were either admittedor enrolled in the university;it now seems, however, as iteens rom all grades o highschool are jumping on the lo-

go-clothing bandwagon andemptying their pockets orgear rom schools that they aremost likely to not even attend.Seriously, i every kid thatwore a Harvard sweatshirt gotinto the school, the universitywould not maintain its presentacceptance rate o just 5.9%. A hierarchy o sorts is alsoinvolved in the college sweat-shirt world. For example, wear-ing a Yale hoodie to school, asopposed to one representinga community college in Dela-

ware, is obviously going to at-tract a lot more looks o appre-ciation due to Yale’s reputationas one o the best and brightestschools in the country.

It doesn’t even matter i youwant to go to Yale or not; what

matters is i you have the senseto wear the sweatshirt thatsymbolizes prestige and rep-utation, rather than the onerepresenting Delaware and its

community college system. So, basically, the moneyspent today by teens and theirparents on college gear is notcoming rom a place o interestin the school itsel , but rather

rom a place o sheer determi-nation by teenagers to keep upwith high school and its oh-so-ever-changing system otrends. And while the majority oHarvard sweatshirt-wearershave zero interest in actuallyapplying to the school, there

are the golden ew that actuallycare about the logo across theirchest and what it represents interms o their education and

uture.An easy way to tell the differ-

ence between the akes and thetrue Ivy hope uls? Check to seei the clothing is rom UrbanOuttters or the university it-sel . Overall, the stigma behindcollege sweatshirts can bestbe described as a passing ad.While they will most likely

never be taken off the collegeprot market, the probabilityo their remainder as symbolso status and popularity is slim,and their signicance is morethan likely destined to adeaway in due time.

Te Stigma Behind PrestigiousCollege Sweatshirt Names

Afer WWII, the ear o anuclear war led many acilitiesto designate a shelter under-ground in case o attacks. Tecause behind these measureswas a matter o a nationalthreat rom our enemies at thetime. Te threats that plagueus today, however, ofen come

rom our very own people. On September 17th, 2015,students and staff at LJHS were

orced to lock doors and crouchunder tables due to severalthreatening calls that prompt-ed 11 high schools around thecounty to go into lockdown.Te calls were placed minutesapart and contained bomb andactive-shooter threats. On Feb-ruary 9th, 2016, another waveo threatening calls prompteda lockdown in our schools.Even though school violenceis not new to the world, it isbecoming more common and,ofen, deadlier. Afer the Columbine HighSchool massacre in 1999,schools started to take moreprecautions when it came tothreats. Lockdown procedureswere introduced to the usualdrill schedule, during whichstudents were taught to hidesilently in dark classrooms.Even still, incidents such asthe one that occurred at SandyHook Elementary in 2012 or,more recently, Umpqua Com-munity College in Oregonin 2015, are still taking placethroughout the country. Someblame guns; others blame thementally unstable. Umpquashooter Christopher Harp-er-Mercer, was a 26-year-oldstudent at the college. SandyHook gunman Adam Lanzawas a 20-year-old who mur-dered his mother be ore go-ing on a rampage at the localelementary school. Te act is

that no matter who is to blame,this is an ongoing problem thatwill not go away i we don’t dosomething about it. Tese areserious incidents that involvedozens, sometimes hundreds,o injuries and deaths. Hoaxesand jokes are only taken seri-ously because the lives o peo-ple are at stake. A study conducted by TeAcademy or Critical IncidentAnalysis at John Jay Collegeshowed that there were 27school killing incidents in theU.S. alone in the course o tenyears, while 36 countries com-bined together only experi-enced 28 in the same amounto time. Schools are supposedto be a sa e place where stu-dents can learn without distur-bances, not where they becometargets o hate and violence. Te sad reality is that massshootings, specically thoseinvolving schools, seem tohave become part o our regu-lar lives. People are taking advantageo the hypersensitivity o to-day’s world to carry on ofenelaborate but selsh plans, call-ing in alse threats that disturbthe peace and orce schoolsto act. Punishment does notseem to be severe enough toprevent ake threats rom be-ing called in. For minors, pen-alties include long visits to ju- venile hall, while or adults it’sofen large sums o money andeven jail time. Investigationsshould be treated seriously tond the culprit behind the act.Tis will not only set the rightexample, but it will ensure thesa ety o school campuses, justas airports do by not takingbomb jokes lightly. We muststop and reect about the im-pact that these crimes imposeon our society because the boythat cried wol had the rstlaugh, but the wol had the last.

In a newspaper, readersgenerally expect an unbiasedstream o in ormation to givethem background on a sub- ject. From there, the audiencecan orm their own opinion onrising controversies or news.Some news networks, mainlyCBS and Fox News, show biasin their stream o news con-cerning political and mediagures.

A study o news coverage in2004 showed Fox News report-ing more negatively towardsthe Democratic convention,and as a result many viewersexhibited a change o attitudethat reected a higher opin-ion o the Republican party. Inother studies, many Fox view-

ers were ound to have mis-conceptions about some keypoints concerning the U.S.’swar with Iraq. Why am I talking about Foxnews in our own newspaper,the Hi- ide? Recent com-plaints highlight one majorcontroversy in our paper: bias.Tere are some sections o thisnewspaper that have bias inthem - they’re supposed to.

Our opinions pages are ullo bias: that’s the point o anopinions page. Our politi-cal cartoons are also biased;they’re meant to artisticallyand satirically show our opin-ions and try to persuade othersto orm their own. Sometimes,even our articles written orthe Features or Arts & Enter-tainment section are supposed

to be written with bias. Howdo you write a movie reviewwith no personal opinion?

It is understood that an ar-ticle published in our last is-sue has caused controversy, asmany o our articles do, butthis one was particularly prob-lematic because it was placedunder the News section, anideally unbiased section. Tearticle titled “Bioscience Cen-ter: Ready o Break Ground”was seen by some to show bi-ased or aulty in ormation. Te article, however, doesnot include personal bias. Teauthors o the piece did notexplicitly state their own opin-ion, saying “I think…” or “Idisagree…” ollowed by a per-sonal statement. In act, a lot othe article takes care to address

both sides o the argument, in-cluding the complaints o theteachers and also the positive

eelings they expressed. Hadthe authors only explainedone side o the argument, re-gardless o personal statement,then that would be biased. In-stead, they showed both sides.Te only bias showed, in myown opinion, which is a biasedopinion, is the act that ourauthors may have provided asympathetic tone or one sideo the issue and not the other. In conclusion, I under-stand that our newspaper hasshown bias; where you seebias, though, depends on youropinion. In the uture, we hopeto correct that and take care toshow an even distribution othought.

oday, meat is still part o a

central diet around the world.As the world consumption rateo meat grows higher and high-er each year, it becomes harder

or ood industries to keep upwith the rate o demand.

A solution to this, however,appeared just last year whena Dutch team o researchers

rom Maastricht Universitysuccess ully grew the world’srst burger in a lab. Tis newlab grown meat is known asin-vitro meat.

Even though this is a mon-

umental triumph in the eldo science, the topic o actual-ly distributing and consumingthis “lab meat” is quite contro- versial. Te main problem is thatmost people are off-put by the very idea o their meat com-ing rom a petridish becauseit’s “unnatural.” Tis argumentdoesn’t hold up well because iyou think about it, isn’t most othe ood we eat on a daily ba-sis even more unnatural? Withall the processing, GMO’s, and

chemicals we ingest day-to-

day, lab grown meat is ar morenatural, seeing as it uses theoriginal stem cells o healthy

cows.Te idea that in-vitro meatwould be unsa e is also invalidbecause the FDA would needto per orm numerous tests inorder to approve its sa ety be-

ore it could ever hit the mar-ket.

Another argument manyhave is that producing in-vi-tro meat will be too expensivesince it is such a new technol-ogy. Tis is true, but althoughthe installation o this newtechnology may be expensive

at rst, it would eventually payoff in a short amount o timeand thus provide a cheaper,more efficient way to producemeat since these industrieswould now be able to cut thecosts o the maintenance,space, and the time consum-ing nature o generating meat.In-vitro meat would also pro-duce less waste, which is great

or the environment seeing asthe amount o waste is increas-ing year afer year.

Growing meat in labs would

also prove to be eco- riendly

In today’s society we haveas many ways to ingest contentand media as we can think o .Some pre er the episodic styleo television, the experienceo going to the theaters andwatching a movie on the bigscreen, or the imagination and

reedom a reader is allowed inbooks. My personal avoritemethod o storytelling, howev-er, is video games. Now be oreyou stop reading this becauseo what I just said, hear me out. Te majority o people I’vemet who I try to convince othe legitimacy o video gamesas a orm o storytelling, laughin my ace. Tis isn’t their ault,though; this is just the way so-ciety views video games and issimilar to any other stereotype.Te only exposure they get to video games are or the bigbudget advertisements on V

rom games like Call of Duty .Tey don’t understand howsomething in the same catego-ry as Call of Duty , somethingthat to them seems like mind-less gun worship and violence,could tell a heart- elt story. Tetruth is, though, just like videogames have the Call of Duty's,television, movies, and bookshave Te Real Housewives of(enter city here), the rans- formers series and Te Note-book. Every medium o story-telling has its version o “junk

ood,” or things you might en- joy but know contain little tono substance in comparison toother, more substantial offer-ings available. And just as video gameshave their versions o junk

ood, they also have substantialofferings as well. Te majorityo video games are made ora more mature audience withthe purpose o telling a story orbringing emotions out o theplayer. Te Last of Us is a gameabout a man named Joel livingin a bleak depiction o societyoverrun by zombies. His task isto escort a girl named Ellie toa laboratory hal way across thein ected United States becauseshe is seemingly immune tothe virus. In the beginning, he views it as a routine smugglingoperation, but over the courseo the journey you watch theirrelationship grow and blossomto the point that they developa ather-daughter type rela-tionship where Joel would doabsolutely anything to ensureEllie’s survival.

In Red Dead Redemption,

you play as John Marston,an outlaw in the Wild Westpromised amnesty by the Fed-eral Bureau o Investigationi he brings the other threemembers o his ormer gangto justice. It’s a gripping taleo revenge that puts the playerin the American rontier circa1911, controlling a man whots the bill or the archetypalcowboy hero as the wild west

ades around him and he issurpassed by technology. Not only do many videogames tell excellent stories,their method o doing so isalso unrivaled by any othermedium. A video game canrun rom around 4 hours longto 200 in some extreme cas-es. Tis means that the playerhas that much more time todevelop a relationship withthe characters. Te Last of Us took me about 20 hours tobeat, meaning 20 hours I spentwatching Joel and Ellie’s rela-tionship evolve rom strangers,to riends, to ather-daughter,to Ellie gaining the condenceshe needs to support herselwhile Joel is injured and Joeleventually returning the avor. When you spend 20 hourswith two o the best writtenand acted characters in all ostorytelling, you become in-tensely attached and care thatmuch deeper about every littlething that happens to them.Tis aspect o bonding withthe characters or extendedperiods o time is, in my mind,one o the biggest examples owhat sets video games apart

rom other mediums o tellingstories. An aspect o story uniqueto video games is interactivi-ty. When you play a game, youare immersed in the world andbelieve or a little while thatyou are the character projectedon the screen. In some games,you even make the character’sdecisions within the narrativethat directly and immenselyshape the game’s story, addingeven another layer o identitywith the characters not offeredin lm or books.

When the player is im-mersed in the game world,relating with the charactersthey control, and making sto-ry altering decisions, climacticmoments o triumph, sorrow,and death carry that muchmore emotional weight. Videogames are a orm o art withexcellent narrative that de-serve to be regarded equallyamong other mediums.

because it would reduce theland degradation that occurswhen we decide to raise live-

stock on areas with ertile soilthat could be used or growingcrops.

An additional benet o labgrown meat is that it is moresanitary, since labs are clean-er than arms, where diseasessuch as swine u can developand be transmitted to humanswhen contaminated meat iseaten. It also would be health-ier because scientists have ullcontrol over the at and nutri-tional content in the meat theycreate.

Te positives o using in-vi-tro meat in place o naturallygrown meat largely outweighany possible “negatives.” Iyou’re not convinced, justthink o how many animalsyou’ll save by not ingesting themeat o an innocent animal,but something that was creat-ed by people without harminganimals instead.

Apple CEO im Cook’s positionon the San Bernardino shooter’s iP-hone is as much about “national se-curity” as the FBI’s. Missing the background? Whatthe FBI has essentially asked Appleto do is create a new operating sys-tem (OS) or use by law en orcementon iPhones that would allow investi-gators to break into its data by “brute

orce.” Once Apple delivers the iP-hone with the modied sofware,an FBI computer can rapidly enterpasscodes - 1111, 1112, 1113, and soon - until it strikes a match. Te FBI says that this OS will beused only in the case o Syed Farook’sdevice, and will not create a “backdoor” to encryption, the digital se-curity process built into a locked iP-hone. I this OS is created, however, itwill have a broad and chilling effecton the security o people againsthackers and surveillance worldwide.

Te process o encryption unc-tions much like a vault: some con-tents are present inside but nobody isable to access these contents withoutthe correct code. Unlike a physical lock that re-quires a person turning dials to guessthe combination, however, comput-ers can eed a digital lock hundreds,possibly even thousands, o possibleinputs per minute. In other words, Apple will be cre-ating a tool that would allow a sa e-cracker to wire up a device to a vaultwhich will run all the possible com-bos and noti y the cracker when thesa e is open. Tis might sound like a use ul

tool or our security agencies; aferall, we do want to collect any intelli-gence available about the shooter toprevent more terrorist attacks in the

uture. Te problem lies in the act that, just li ke a locksmith’s universal key,this tool has the potential to be verydangerous i it is used outside thisterrorism investigation, and it will.

U.S. law en orcement agenciesalready have hundreds o iPhoneslined up to be unlocked, likely rang-ing rom terrorists to petty thieves,and other judges will not hesitate toask Apple to use their OS “one moretime” in these cases. Due to the borderless nature otechnology, however, the implica-tions o such a system’s existencewould reach ar beyond US juris-diction. Such a tool would be thebeginning o a broad unraveling oencryption - the technology that hasmade our technology rms prosper-ous worldwide and ensured the secu-rity o our citizens and military. Presidential candidates romClinton to Rubio have insisted thatthey would get tech companies to sitdown with the government and g-ure out how to create a secure “backdoor” to encrypted content, lettingagents such as those in the FBI in(with a warrant), but keeping ne ari-ous hackers out. Tis would be virtually impossi-

ble and leave tremendous room orabuse. We’ve already seen the damages -over $35 million - to Sony PicturesEntertainment as a result o a cyber-attack that originated rom NorthKorea. I we were to create a trueback door, it would not be a godsend

or law en orcement; it would be anopen invitation or Chinese, Russian,and domestic criminals and hackersas well. Remember the celebritiesthat had their private photos leakedin 2014? I the U.S. were to loosenpersonal device security, your creditcard details would be next. Director Sam Mendes warned viewers about the risks in the latest

Bond lm, SPEC RE. Against Bondand M’s wishes, British intelligenceerects a mass-surveillance apparatusin London. Unbeknownst to them,a criminal agency taps into the datastream rom a remote desert anduses the power ul in ormation ob-tained by the “good guys” to wreakhavoc upon the world. So it goes…? More practically, an encryption

back door would cripple the U.S.technology industry. In 2015, theEuropean Court o Justice inval-idated the U.S.-E.U. Sa e Harbor

ramework. Tat decision orbadecompanies rom storing EuropeanUnion citizens’ data on Americansoil, where it would be subject tothe surveillance revealed by EdwardSnowden. As a result o this land-mark decision, Google and Facebookhave already begun building massivenew data centers in Europe, movingtechnology jobs and inuence away

rom North America. Another unintended consequencewould be the erosion o civil liber-ties in authoritarian countries. Ithe FBI’s wish is granted, China anda host o other nations would showup and demand Apple provide themwith the same tool. Perhaps most important o all,we must realize that encryptiontranscends legal or legislative re-strictions. It is an outgrowth o theeld o mathematics. I we were to

(hypothetically) outlaw encryptionin the land o the ree, exposingour emails and notes and photos tosurveillance and cyberattacks, therewould still be absolutely nothing toprevent terrorists rom creating theirown encrypted apps and services ar

urther outside our control than Sili-con Valley-based companies. In act,it would probably be a great revenuestream or them! Tere is a reason why so many arestanding rm against the FBI on thismatter. Google, Facebook, witter,A & , and eBay are just a ew whohave joined with Apple to resist theFBI’s intrusion on our real nationalsecurity.

“[FBI Director Jim Comey] wouldlike a back door available to Amer-ican law en orcement in all devic-es globally,” said ormer NSA chieGeneral Michael Hayden. “And, rankly, I think on balancethat actually harms American sa etyand security, even though it mightmake Jim's job a bit easier in somespecic circumstances.”

Te team remained unde-eated until they played our

rivals, Te Bishop’s School, onthe 14th o January. Te gamewas incredibly close, with LaJolla leading the whole game.Bishop’s managed to tie up thescore in the last couple sec-onds.

Te game went into overtime (two 3-minute periods),and both teams scored. Tegame then went into suddendeath, where whichever teamscores rst, wins. Un ortu-nately, Bishop’s was the rst toscore, winning the game 10-9.Te next time our girls playedthe Knights, we came out vic-torious with a 6-5 win.

Te season consisted o lotso hard work and training, in-cluding swim practices be oreschool, lifing weights afer

practice, and working with amental skills coach to improveboth their mental as well astheir physical game. Teir hardwork has really paid off, as theLady Vikes seeded rst in theopen division, or CIF. On Sat-

urday, January 20th, they beatEl Camino 11-3. On Tursdaythe 25th, the girls played Val-halla, and emerged victorious,

the nal score was 14-6. CIFnals took place Saturday,the 27th. Te La Jolla Vikingsplayed the Bishops Knights.

Te game started off withBishop’s scoring the rst goal.Ciara Franke scored the Vi-king’s rst goal, the quarterended with Bishop’s in the lead,2-1. Sydney Boland scored therst goal o the second quarter.It was an amazing shot, witha girl on her back; she lobbedit over the goalie, bringing thegame to a tie. Bishop’s then

scored 2 more goals, and athal time the score was 4-2. Inthe third quarter, Karli Cana-le scored our third goal. Tethird quarter ended with Bish-op’s still in the lead, 4-3. Bish-op’s scored their fh goal inthe ourth quarter.

Lexi Atwell scored the nalgoal o the game, leaving usat 5-4. Te La Jolla Vikingsplayed their hearts out, andnished as the second runnerup. Katy Koenig, a reshmanon varsity, is remaining posi-

tive about the situation. “Weworked so hard or the titleand it’s heart-breaking to notcome in rst. I know we willtrain very hard over the sum-mer and next season, and kicktheir butts next year at CIF!”

February 23, 2016, will godown in NASCAR history asone o the greatest Daytona500 nishes in its 58 year-longhistory. First time Daytona 500winner Denny Hamlin wasable to hold off second placecontender Martin ruenx, Jr.,in the nal moments o the 4hour race. Coming as an evenbigger shock to ans, the longtime leader and 2015 Dayto-na champ, Joey Logano, wasbumped out o 1st and nishedthe race in the 6th place slot. Tis win comes as a rst toboth Hamlin and Joe Gibbs

Racing, and also stands asowner Gibbs’ rst personalwin in 23 years.

While speaking with report-ers, Hamlin credited his team-mate Matt Kenneth as some-one who was a tremendoushelp to him through the race.Once in the nal lap, Hamlinwas able to “get a run on theoutside and squeeze by settingup the photo nish,” beatingout ruenx, Jr., by 0.011 sec-onds, the closest nish in Day-tona history.

According to USA Today, Hamlin was quoted saying ohis win: “I don't know wherethat came rom. I can’t even

gure out what I did. It all justcame together…” Tough the nish was closeand or some questionable,second place contender Marti

ruenx, Jr., was nothing but agood sport saying, “[I’m] real-ly proud o everybody. Reallyproud o the teamwork withthe guys. We’re team players,and we’re in it or the longhaul. Congrats to Denny. Hebeat me by a couple o eet.” Tis win sets up Hamlin andhis team or the “Chase or theSprint Cup” on February 28, arace that he has previously n-ished in the top 5 three o thepast 4 years.

Are American ootball play-ers obese? Te short answer,by BMI standards, is yes. Re-searchers Jeffrey Potteigerand Maggie McGowan-Stinskipublished a study in the Jour-nal o Strength and Condition-ing Research that concludedthat rom 1942 to 2011 theaverage weight o pro essionallinebackers has increased by60 pounds.

Some re reshers: a lineback-er puts the “tackle” in “tackle

ootball.” Tey’re tall and big.BMI, or Body Mass Index, isa measure o body at. It’s tak-en by dividing the body massby the square o the height. ABMI o over 30 constitutes aperson as obese. It doesn’t ac-count, however, or the actthat muscle is denser than at.A person gaining muscle maygain weight, causing their BMIto increase. For muscle-heavypeople such as NFL players, ahigh BMI doesn’t necessarilyequate to being unhealthy.

But being an athlete doesn’tnecessarily equate to being im-mune to disease either. Meta-bolic Syndrome is a collectiono at least three o the ollow-ing actors, which raise therisk or heart disease, diabetes,and stroke: abdominal obesi-ty, high triglyceride levels, lowHDL (or “good”) cholesterol

levels, high blood pressure,and high blood sugar.

A 2008 study done by theCardiovascular Institute atMount Sinai Medical Cen-ter in New York ound thatnearly 60% o ormer NFLlinemen had Metabolic Syn-drome, compared to less thanone-third o the general popu-lation o the same age. Footballplayers also had a 52% greaterchance o dying rom cardio- vascular disease than the gen-eral public.

While NFL players havegotten heavier throughout theyears, so have Americans asa whole, as the percentage oobese citizens rises. Playerstoday also have conveniencesthat weren’t available to thosein previous years: modern nu-trition like protein drinks, im-proved training tactics, and anoverall better understandingo body chemistry. No matterthe cause o this development,the possibility o a debilitating

uture is always looming. Riskssuch as arthritis, cardiovascu-lar disease, and the inabilityto lose weight may exceed the

ame and glory o an NFL ca-reer.

So while it is true that cur-rent NFL players’ BMI scoresare signicantly higher thanthey were 20 years ago, andthat the players are physicallymuch larger, the long answer ismore complex.

Te La Jolla High Men’s Var-sity Basketball team competedin the CIF nals against LaJolla Country Day on Friday,March 4. Tis was an epic wayto nish out their 19-11 sea-son.

Head coach Paul Baranoskihad some interesting tactics

or helping the boys succeed.As well as lifing weights, Bara-noski had them practice yoga.

Charlie Gal, a sophomore,enjoyed the yoga. He believesthat yoga is a nice break sincebasketball can be exhausting,both physically and mentally.He also says that “It helps usto stay resh and be less sorethroughout the season.”

Some o the big games that

the team took part in wereagainst our rival school, TeBishop’s School, as well asLincoln High and UniversityCity High. Te Vikings pre- vailed against Bishop’s with a59-51 score. La Jolla earnedtheir 14th victory o the sea-son against Lincoln. Finally,the team crushed UC, on theirsenior night, coming throughwith a 55-47 win.

As the season wound downinto CIF, the boys played 3

games be ore their nal match.Tey played against CanyonCrest Academy, Helix High,and West Hills. Te last gamewas against La Jolla Coun-try Day, which took place atUSD. Te boys were up with a10-point lead at hal time, witha score o 37-27. Somehow

LJCD took the lead, and thescore in the last minute was64-59. Afer La Jolla Coun-try Day managed another 2points, Reed Farely was ouled,stepped up and took 2 reethrows. Tis brought the nalscore o the game to a devas-tating 66-61.

Tis game was truly heartbreaking, although Reed Fare-ly kept a positive outlook onthings.

“It was an awesome season,

and one o the most success ulones we’ve had in a while. Wewere able to pick up the mo-mentum going into the post-season, which is what reallymattered. I eel like we all grewindividually, and collectively,which gave us the opportunityto make it as ar as we did.”

On Tursday, February 25,Golden State Warriors starStephen Curry broke anotherrecord: the most consecutivegames with at least one 3-pointshot, making it his 128th con-secutive game with a 3-pointer.He broke Kyle Korver’s previ-ous record o 127 consecutivegames.

When asked about the re-cord afer the game, Currywasn’t aware that he had bro-ken the record and said, “Tat’s

a pretty outrageous number,I think. Tat’s crazy—everynight you’re hitting a three.Whether you’re shooting wellor not, you’re still nding away to knock down at leastone. Te longevity o that re-cord is pretty remarkable.”

In addition to a consecutivegame record, out o the last204 games Curry has played,he’s made a 3-pointer in 203o them, and in his 471 careergames, he’s made a 3-pointerin 437 o them.

With the best all-around

player in the nation, the War-

riors are certainly having anexciting and memorable sea-son, currently holding a 54-5record and hoping to beat the’95-’96 Chicago Bulls 72-10 re-cord at the end o the season.Despite Curry’s talents, thestar didn’t have the tradition-al big-name college experi-ence like many o his Warriorsteammates such as DraymondGreen (Michigan State) andAndre Iguodala (University oArizona) did.

Curry played or Davidson

College, a small liberal artsschool in North Carolina. De-spite his somewhat humble be-ginnings, the 3- time NBA All-Star has beneted the Warriorsimmensely. As a key compo-nent o the “Splash Brothers”,a duo comprised o Curry andKlay Tompson, he’s contrib-uted to Warriors long string ohigh scoring games (100 pointand more). Without the help ohis record-breaking ways, theWarriors certainly would notbe the championship team that

they are with him.

Saint Patrick’s Day is cel-ebrated on March 17thand was originally made aChristian east day in the17th century.

Saint Patrick is the patronsaint o Ireland, but is ironi-cally not o Irish decent andwas born in Great Britain.

He was taken to Irelandas a slave, escaped his cap-tors, arrived back at GreatBritain, and then chose toreturn to Ireland to spreadChristianity and help thepeople.

Te reason shamrocksare associated with SaintPatrick’s Day is due to thebiblical story that tells howSaint Patrick used the three-lea ed clover to explain theHoly rinity. Te Holy rin-ity is a Christian ideologythat there is three personsin one God: the Father, theSon, and the Holy Spirit. Te color green is tra-ditionally worn due to itsusage during the 1798 re-

bellion against British rulewhere the United Irishmen,a republican organization,wore green as a sign o Irishnationalism. Many UnitedIrishmen supporters wereexecuted or wearing thecolor green. Tere is also a reason whypeople drink so much be-sides the un o partying.Because Saint Patrick’s Dayis a east day to honor SaintPatrick’s death, Christians

are allowed to put asidetheir Lenten restrictions on

ood and alcohol consump-tion.

I you are unaware o whatLent is, it is a Catholic prac-tice o giving up something

or the orty days leading upto Easter Sunday. Tis in-terruption o asting madedrinking a permanent parto the holiday.

Te Human Papillomavirus

(HPV) is a sexually transmit-ted disease that can be con-tracted through skinon skin contact. It re-sults in genital warts,which can mutate intoboth anal and cervicalcancer. It can be passedeven when the carrierhas no symptoms orsigns, and can devel-op a long time aferinitial in ection, mak-ing it difficult to trace.Te Center or Disease

Control and Preven-tion claims that 80 mil-lion people in the U.S.alone are in ected, andabout 14 million peo-ple contract the virusannually. HPV rates, howev-er, are decreasing. Te vac-cine administered to youngwomen who have contractedthe virus, called Gardasil, wasintroduced decades ago, andhas since lowered the rates oHPV in both teens and women

in their early 20’s. Gardasil wasoriginally created to prevent

anal cancer, genital warts, andor women, provide protection

against cervical cancer. In an interview with USA

oday , lead researcher LauriMarkowitz explained that as

expected, a decrease in HPVhas occurred as young womenhave aged. She predicts a con-tinued decrease or the uture. Despite this promising new vaccine, parents, doctors, andmentors are resistant to use it,

earing increased sexual pro-miscuity. When Rhode Island

tried to make the vaccine man-datory, it’s request was metwith orce ul opposition. Manyclaimed that the vaccine wasn’t

“sa e” to be administered, andalso violates a parent’s rightto choose to vaccinatetheir own child. Manyparents think it’s un-necessary to be vacci-nated or HPV becauseo its classication asan S D, explainingthat it is not spread inthe classroom. Fur-thermore, most caseso HPV resolve them-selves with the help oa ew doctor’s appoint-

ments, pap smears,and o course, havingprotected intercourse.It is possible to reli-giously opt out o the vaccine, and no childwill be turned away

rom an educationbased on medical records.

Regardless, doctors urgepeople to be vaccinated be-cause while HPV is sexuallytransmitted, it does have thepotential to become a muchmore serious disease: cancer.

And unlike HPV, doctors donot yet have a cure.

American astronaut ScottKelly has returned to Earth a -ter spending 340 days on theInternational Space Station.His journey started March 27,2015, when he and Russiancosmonaut Mikhail Kornien-

ko launched rom Kazakh-stan. Around 10 AM localtime on March 2, 2016, Kellyand Kornienko touched backdown in Kazakhstan. As Kellywas living inzero-gravi-ty, his iden-tical twinMark Kelly(also an as-tronaut) re-mained onEarth as a part o NASA’s win

Study. Scott was the “exper-imental group” o the study,while Mark was the “control.”Be ore sending any humans tocolonize Mars, NASA is study-ing the effects that long-termspaceight causes to the bodyand DNA. Being in space orlong periods o time is knownto cause brittle bones, weak-ened muscles, and a changein the body’s balance system,among other things. Afer landing in Kazakh-stan, Kelly was own back to

Houston so researchers could

compare the brothers. Kellyhas already reported that heis 2 inches taller than he wasat the start o the mission: thelack o gravity causes the spineto lengthen, although it willshrink back to its normal sizeonce on Earth. It’s been a year o rsts orKelly and NASA. Te 340

days endured by Kelly madehim the American astronautwith the longest consecutiveamount o time in space.

NASA allowed those aboardthe ISS to trythe romainelettuce theyhad grown orthe rst time.Finally, Kellydonned a go-rilla suit to be-come the rst

astronaut to wear a gorilla suit

in space. Kelly wins the “most con-nected to the general public”award or astronauts.

His breathtaking photos osunrises, sunsets, the North-ern Lights, galaxies, and thecontinents earned him over900 thousand ollowers onboth witter and Instagram.Tis mission could changespace travel as we know it, butKelly may never reveal the se-cret behind how NASA’s WiFicould connect 249 miles above

Recently, it has been broughtto the media’s attention thatUnited Kingdom officers maynow hack into any phone andalso browse Internet recordso any civilian. Tis practiceis now being considered as alegal action undera proposal broughtabout by their gov-ernment known asthe InvestigatoryPowers Bill.

It is no surpriseto civilians that theUnited Kingdomhas been hack-ing into their cellphones or years, but to actu-ally make such legislation le-gal is leading to a huge uproar.Te United Kingdom de end-ed that their reasoning or en-acting such legislation is so asto help investigate crimes andprimarily to prevent any ter-rorist activity. Tis bill orcesInternet providers to store datawithin the past twelve monthsso that it can be easily accessedby the police. Many argue that allowing

such legislation denies peopletheir rights but with the gov-ernment’s strong adherenceto protect people rom terror-ism, it has proceeded to keepthis proposed bill intact. Ac-cording to CNN , “Te govern-ment aims to pass the bill intoa law by the end o the year.Critics say many are trying to

push the legislationthrough quickly toavoid detailed scru-tiny”.

Many eel thatthe United King-dom governmentmay be going intothis without consid-ering the public re-action or legal issues

that are expected to accompa-ny the new bill. Research done by the tele- graph.co.uk shows that in therst hal o 2015, Apple pro- vided in ormation ollowing aUK request in 56 per cent ocases relating to a device, Goo-gle gave out in ormation in75% o requests over the sameperiod, while Facebook met78% o requests.

By Julia WaltonStaff Writer On Sunday, February 27,Puerto Rican governor Ale- jandro Garcia Padilla signedan executive order allowing orthe medical use o marijuanawithin its territory.

Following a very long and

heated debate, Garcia nal-ly decided to sign. Te orderwent into effect immediate-ly, however Garcia has givenPuerto Rico’s health secretarythree months to give a reporton the specics o the orderand the impact on the US ter-ritory.

Future steps in how to ad-minister and control the legal-ization will also be included inthe secretary’s writeup. In one statement to ime Magazine, Garcia said, “We’re

taking a signicant step inthe area o health that is un-damental to our developmentand quality o li e, I am surethat many patients will receiveappropriate treatment that willoffer them new hope.”

Te government also plansto list all o the specic uses

o medical marijuana that willbe authorized and the expla-nations behind each use. Inexplaining the measures thatPuerto Rico will be taking,Garcia mentioned the use omarijuana in the US mainlandand its medical purposes ortreating migraines and pains

or other illnesses. In addition to the legaliza-tion o medical marijuana incurrently 23 US states, thereare laws in Jamaica and oth-er Caribbean islands that are

working their way up the lad-der towards ull legalization inits medical usage. While some, like Puerto Ri-co’s House o Representativespresident Jaime Perello, sup-port the governor’s decision,there are many that were sur-prised in Garcia’s sudden ac-

tion. For a long time, there hasbeen a dispute over this top-ic. However, no decisions hadever been made or appeared tobe near conclusion. Despite the conclusion or le-galization, the law remains, ac-cording to Jenniffer Gonzalezin Te Huffington Post , in “ju-dicial limbo.” Questions arebeing raised as to whether ornot it’s direct import will be al-lowed, or i licenses or grow-ing will instead be issued.

New Concerns AriseOver Guantanamo Bay

By Maia PearlStaff Writer owards the end o his rstterm, President Obama prom-ised he would shut down theGuantanamo Bay Prison. Teprison is located inside o theGuantanamo Bay Naval Base,

on the island o Cuba. TeGuantanamo Bay detentioncamp, com-monly re erredto as GI MO,was estab-lished speci-cally to detainextremely dan-gerous crimi-nals, to inter-rogate them inan optimal set-ting, and to persecute them orwar crimes.

Many prisoners have re-ported that abuse and tor-ture methods are commonthroughout the camps. In2011, President Obama signedthe De ense Authorization Bill,which placed restrictions onthe trans er o prisoners to themainland or other countries.Tis hindered the close o the

acility immensely. Congressalso was having issues withmoving the prisoners back tothe US or trial, release, or re-location.

Obama decided it would bebest, that during the process oshutting down GI MO, thatthe acility does not acceptany new prisoners. Althoughit would be ideal to keep themout, as we are already strug-gling as where to relocate the

current prisoners to, it is start-ing to orm a problem. Recent-ly, multiple ISISleaders have beencaptured. SincePresident Obamahas taken office,he has re used toplace any terror-ists in GI MO,and instead hastried and clearedthem or release.

With these Islamic Stateterrorists, US government is

turning them over to the Mid-dle Eastern government orthem to take care o the crimi-nals. Some are quite concernedabout this process, as they donot believe the Middle Easterngovernment will take propercare o the detainees, and may just release them. Tis couldperhaps evolve into a larger is-sue, as US government wishesto prevent urther attacks romISIS. Released ISIS leaders areentered in a national securitylist.

Cruz occurred despite rump’sstrong endorsement rom thestate’s ormer governor SarahPalin. Marco Rubio was deemedthe loser o the night with alackluster per ormance acrossthe board. He did secure a winover Cruz in Minnesota, how-ever, despite only winning a

ew urban districts. John Kasich, who wasn’t pre- viously polling large numbers,

ailed to win a state but n-ished a strong second in Ver-mont and virtually tied Rubio

or second in Massachusetts.Ben Carson dropped out o

the race and later joined NewJersey governor and ormerGOP candidate Chris Christiein endorsing rump. Te Democratic side o thepresidential race garnered arless attention on Super ues-day. Te results, however,proved important to the Clin-ton and Sanders campaigns. Clinton locked up a total oseven states (Alabama, Arkan-sas, Georgia, Massachusetts,

ennessee, exas, and Virgin-ia) while Sanders ollowed be-hind with just our (Colorado,Minnesota, Oklahoma, andVermont). Many believe that the mostsignicant outcome or Clin-ton was her win by 0.2% inMassachusetts. Many had ex-pected Sanders’ lefist message

to reach more voters in one othe most liberal states in thecountry. Te circuit continued on Su-per Saturday, March 5th. Pri-maries or caucuses took placein our states or the GOP(Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,and Maine) and three or theDemocratic side (Kansas, Lou-isiana, and Nebraska). While rump stayed on topwith wins in Kentucky andLouisiana, Cruz proved therace to be shifing towards atwo-man competition afersuccess ully securing the twoother states. And while Cruzovertook rump in terms odelegates won on Saturday, heis still trailing rump in theoverall delegates count. Sanders out-edged Clintonin the popular vote by winningtwo out o three states, Kansasand Nebraska. Clinton, havingonly won Louisiana that night,still walked away with moredelegates: 55 to Sander’s 49. On March 8th, Hawaii, Ida-ho, Michigan, and MississippiRepublicans cast their votesalong with Michigan and Mis-sissippi Democrats. rump was the clear win-ner, collecting three wins inHawaii, Michigan, and Mis-sissippi. Cruz urther securedhis place as eternal runner-upwith a win in Idaho. On the Democratic side,Clinton and Sanders each won

one o the two states up orgrabs. Clinton won Mississip-pi by a landslide, and Sandersbarely clinched a victory inMichigan afer a heated de-bate in Flint. Clinton, however,once again proved her superi-ority in the race or delegates,with 87 compared to Sanders’69. What does it all mean? In the GOP race, rumpcontinues to lead but Cruzcould potentially beat him iRubio and/or Kasich were todrop out. Tey are generallyexpected to exit the race i theydo not win their home states oFlorida and Ohio, respectively. Perhaps in a bid to makehimsel more palatable or thegeneral election, rump hasrecently toned down the lan-guage and rhetoric o his cam-paign while still maintainingthe core views that have pro-pelled him to success. Clinton maintained her del-egate dominance over Sanderslargely due to her support romover 461 party superdelegates.But these superdelegates couldchange their candidate choiceat any time be ore the Demo-cratic convention convenes.

ELECTION (cont.) El Niño Worldwide Outlook By Tanner FordStaff Writer Where is it hitting next? ElNiño 2016 has already provenitsel deadly across the entirePacic Coast, orcing manyout o their homes afer severeooding. But exactly when andwhere El Niño will hit next isnot certain. “Tis denitely has the po-tential o being the GodzillaEl Niño,” said Bill Patzert, aclimatologist with NASA’s JetPropulsion Laboratory in LaCañada Flintridge. Te World Health Organiza-tion (WHO) said the “unprec-edented situation could dev-astate the world with severedrought, ooding, heavy rainsand scorching temperatures.” Tis killer, record-breakingEl Niño has already unleashed“rapid” wildres in Australia,“terrible” mudslides in SouthAmerica, and “devastating”storms in the United States. Tese unusual weather pat-terns could even spark su-preme conict with othercountries, as scientists romColumbia University recentlyrevealed that El Niño “had arole in 21 per-cent o all civilconicts since 1950.” Te United Nations (UN)also alerted record-break-ing wild res, “exacerbatedby El Niño-related drought,”

which could cause “hazardousair quality” and travel chaosthroughout the world. Raman Velayudhan, direc-tor o WHO’s Department oNeglected ropical Diseases,

explained: “We could expectmore mosquitoes capable ospreading the Zika virus be-cause o expanding and a- vorable breeding sites dueto the weather effects o ElNiño.”

Te Guardian adds thatdroughts and oods have alsoruined harvests in many areasacross the world. Nearly 100million people are in danger o

ood and water shortages. “Although it is expected todecline in strength over thenext six months, its effectson arming, health and liveli-hoods in developing countriescould last two years or more.”

San Diego Scientists LeadResearch for Ebola CureBy Jimmy IrwinStaff Writer Ebola is a rare and very ataldisease. Te outbreak in 2014was one o the largest ever re-corded, with a death rate o atleast 50% affecting many coun-tries in A rica. Tere were ewcases recorded in the UnitedStates, although the probabili-ty o a large outbreak was veryslim to begin with. Ebola isspread through direct contacto body uids i the victim isalready showing symptoms. Itcannot be spread through air,water or mosquitoes.

Tere have been eleven cas-es o Ebola in the U.S. Nine othose eleven victims contract-ed the virus in other parts othe world, then ew into theU.S. Tomas Duncan had con-tracted the Ebola virus whiletouring Liberia. He then ewhome rom Liberia, with the virus. His nurse, Amber Vin-son, was the rst person to bediagnosed with the virus in thestates. Luckily, she survived.

Ebola takes over your blood vessels. First, the vessels popand then start to leak. Tis iswhy victims eel dehydratedthroughout the course o theirillness. Having ebola is a mis-erable experience. Victims get

a high ever, headaches, mus-cle aches, sore throat, stomachpain, and a loss o appetite.

Doctors are hoping to nda cure so no one ever has toundergo this experience. Spe-cically, the researchers at theScripps Institute o Researchin La Jolla are helping tremen-dously. Tey are studying thereplication o the virus andhow it attaches to parts o thebody.

Dr. Erica Saphire is work-ing in one o the 25 labs acrossthe globe researching Ebola.Searching or a cure was al-ways going to be difficult butnow it will be especially toughdue to the mutations in the vi-rus. Te most recent strain oEbola has over 55 genetic mu-tations, making it incrediblyhard to nd a cure.

Te work o these scien-tists is really starting to payoff. Tey have recently devel-oped a new medicine calledZ-Mapp. So ar, it has beentried by two Americans withEbola. Te drug has also beentested on mice and primates.Te antibodies in Z-Mapp aremade using tobacco leaves thatare then put into a giant juicer.Scientists then strain the anti-bodies rom the juice.

South Dakota Transgender Legislation EndsState law establishes uniform rules for bathroom and facility use

By Lucy BartonStaff Writer Legislation was passed by a20-15 vote in the South Dako-ta Senate the week o February14th that states that students

o South Dakota “who don'tidenti y as their biologicalgender may not use acilitiesdesignated or students o theopposite sex when those stu-dents might be present.” Tislegislation will have a majoreffect on many transgenderstudents throughout the state. While many other seniors inSouth Dakota may be preoc-cupied with college acceptanc-es and graduation, TomasLewis isn’t. Instead, accordingto CNN , Lewis is “speaking out

against a bill that could affecthim and other transgenderstudents” and has appealed toboth the state legislature andGov. Dennis Daugaard.

Lewis is just one o the manytransgender students in SouthDakota that have been affectedby the recent legislation. Lew-is was born emale but nowopenly identies as male andis supported by his riends and

amily. According to CNN ,Lewis aims to persuade Dau-gaard to re use to sign a bill

into law “that would restrict

the use o school restroomsand locker rooms to studentso the same biological sex.”Meaning that transgender stu-dents would be orced to usethe restroom o the sex they

were born with and not the sexwhich they identi y with now. Te legislation proposes thatin the case o transgender stu-dents, there will be a “reason-able accommodation” provid-ed or them, which is dened inthe bill as "a single-occupancyrestroom, a unisex restroom,or the controlled use o a re-stroom, locker room, or show-er room that is designated oruse by aculty.” Te proposalalso states that schools will not

be the subject o “undue hard-ship,” possibly meaning thatschools will not be aced withthe task o constructing, andpaying or, separate restrooms.Private schools are merely ex-

empt rom the legislation. According to NPR, justhours be ore the deadline on

uesday, March 1 was set topass, Gov. Dennis Daugaardsided with the bill’s opponentsand vetoed it. “I heard their personal sto-ries,” Daugaard said. “And so Isaw things through their eyesin that sense.” She said she will leave trans-gender policy up to localschools and districts.
