ever, this could soon change.

On Thursday, April 18, 2013,

scientists announced the dis-

covery of three planets outside

of our solar system that could

very well support life.

The discovery was made byNASAs Kepler satellite, which

more than 150,000 stars in the

lar to Earth.

Since these new planets are

not part of our solar system,

we do not share a sun. Their

sun is smaller and cooler than

ours, called Kepler-62, and is

1,200 light-years away. Keep

in mind that one light year is

equal to six trillion miles.

Each of the three planets is

named Kepler-62, with differ-ent sets of lowercase letters fol-

lowing the number 62.

Although they are extreme-

ly far away, these planets have

comparable climates to places

on Earth. Comparable to Alas-

40% larger than Earth and the

ence principal investigator at

NASA Ames Research Center.

Kepler-62e seems to be about

60% larger than Earth, slight-

ly closer to its host star, and

could be mostly made of deep

oceans.

It seems as though Ke-

pler-69c orbits a star similarto Earths sun, is estimated

to be 70% larger than Earth,

the milder climates, there is a

strong possibility these planets

could have liquid water, which

For now, all research and pre-

are just theoretical. Although

the climates on the new planets

are similar to Earths climates,the types of life we are used to

nitely not the type of life that

may be discovered in future.

Choosing which colleges

to apply to is a very stress-

ful process. It can be hard to

decide on the one perfect

college that meets all re-

quirements. When applying,

students should focus on the

experience and the academic

knowledge they will gain from

their chosen college instead of

the name of the college. Since

many La Jolla High School

students have taken competi-

tive and challenging courses,

we tend to apply to higher-

ranked schools or focus on a

college just because of the

excellent reputation it may

have.

But students need to know

that attending a college that

will help them achieve success

in life is better than attend-

ing a sweatshirt collegeacollege choice based on name

recognition.

There are plenty of colleges

throughout California, if not

the country or the rest of the

world, that many students

look up to as a dream school.

While some colleges, like UC

Berkeley and UCLA, have

exceptionally rigid standards

and well-to-do students, they

may not be right for a myriad

of reasons. A prestigious

college could be too challeng-

ing or not right for a particu-lar students personality, but

said student could still choose

it just for the reputation of the

name. A California State Uni-

versityalthough it may not

have the national ranking asso-ciated with some UCs or other

top private schoolsmay be a

better fit for students and pro-

vide them with better assistance

to graduate and earn a degree.

Just because the name is not as

appealing to other students or

society, it does not mean it is not

the right college for you.

Instead of struggling and do-

ing poorly at a college that stu-

dents choose based on the con-

notations related to its name,

they have an opportunity to

attend a lesser known or lowerranked college and put more ef-

fort into the classes and re-

ally engage in their college

experience and possibly.

Attending a lesser-known

college and graduating ismuch better than attend-

ing a college that you might

flunk out of just because of

its reputation.

College is a very impor-

tant decision that has a huge

impact on all other aspects

of a persons life. Still, as

important as this life event

may be, the application pro-

cess should be taken with a

grain of salt. After all, it is

not what college you attend

but what you gain and con-

tribute to the school of yourchoice.

threat is more like, If you drop

one nuke on us, well drop one

thousand nukes on you. And I

sure hope that you arent hoping

your fellow communist allies willbe backing you up should you

turn to nuclear conquest. Fidel

Castro has just about kicked the

bucket, and China makes all

of its money from us and our

alliesI dont think theyll want

to wreck their economy in or-

der to back up their bellyaching

neighbors.

Look Kim Jong-un, we under-

stand. You have a lot to live up

to. You want to affirm your pow-

er, bring North Korea into the

nuclear age, and who wouldnt

want you to end up just like yourfather?

Well America, for one, if it

means that were going to need

to listen to your whiny sabre rat-

Last January, you, more

specifically your leader

Kim Jong-un, made

some belligerent comments

wherein you called America

your archenemy. Now, as anAmerican, I find these com-

ments to be very hurtful and

disparaging; I have never done

anything to harm your coun-

try. As a nation that calls itself

communist, it might be hard

to understand the concept of

individualism, especially when

under a supreme leader like

the Kims.

However, in America, the

actions of a few do not rep-

resent the actions of all. The

Korean War, the Cold War,

and the days of our contain-ment policies are long gone.

See, now as a nation, we dont

really care what ideology you

followso long as you dont

have oil, support abortion, or

believe in gay marriage, and

something tells me, N.K., that

you dont meet any of those

requirements.

But Im getting off track; the

point is, the one exception to

our live and let live foreign

policy is when a nation threat-

ens us. North Korea, especial-

ly you Supreme Ruler, when

you start talking about sending

nukes our way well notice.

So congratulations, you

now have all the world pow-

ers watching you to see what

your next move is. Dont get

me wrongand this seg-

ment is directed to you Kim

Jong-unwere flattered. I

mean, not just any country

would hold a grudge for 59

years, and not just any coun-

try would threaten the UnitedStates with nuclear weapons.

Its like threatening to throw a

stone at a catapult holding fifty

stonesor in Americas case

7,700 nuclear stones.

See, Kim Jong-un, not only do

you lack the stones that would

get anywhere near America,

but Im pretty sure I could

count all of your stones on one

hand. In Americas case, we

have over 7,000 stones, and we

know how to pump them out

quickly.

Remember North Korea,every Republican in Congress

is looking for a reason to in-

crease defense spending as the

result of some distant threat;

we did it in Iraq over the very

threat of nuclear missiles, and

now you start pointing existing

nuclear missiles our way? Im

surprised Republicans arent

wetting themselves with de-

light.

Not only that, but if you

pick a fight with us, you will

be picking a fight with the

original nuke droppers. In the

Cold War the threat was al-

ways, If you drop ten nukes

on us, well drop eleven nukes

on you. But nowadays the

tling for your entire reign.

If you are going to take on

some great evil in order to

inspire loyalty in your citi-

zens then fine, but dont gopointing your guns where

they dont belong, because,

frankly North Korea, you

dont have the stones for it.

Come back to play when

your leader doesnt look like

a Gangnam Style knock

off from the better part of

your peninsula.

Following the attack on

Pearl Harbor, urban legend

states Japanese admiral Iso-

roku Yamamoto said, I fear

all we have done is to awaken

a sleeping giant and fill himwith a terrible resolve. If

you dare come near us, this

giant will once again awak-

en.

DearNorthKorea,

Pride or Prestige ?

So congratulations, you

now have all the world pow-

ers watching you to see what

your next move is.

In a competitive world, picking

the right college major is a vital

step in the quest to make a good

living. According to the Huff-

ington Post, if you want to make

a lot of money, the best majors to

go into are in the areas of math

and science. These majors pro-

vide better job security, higher

wages, and more options for em-

ployment.

The top five highest paying majors,

according to the National Bureau

for Economic Research are:

1.Economics

An economic major has wide career

options. Jobs can range from being

an economist, to being an auditor.

2.Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineers are high

in demand. America is in need

of people that can design better

solar panels and more fuel-effi-

cient vehicles.

Staff WriterFinding work in

this economy is not

an easy task, espe-

cially if you lack

experience; howev-

er ironically, to

gain experience, a

job is required. A

solution to job ex-

perience issues is

to get an intern-

ship.

Internships pro-

vide work experi-

ence and look great

cations if they re-

late to your careerchoice. Although

are looking for in

a career.

High school is an

ideal time to in-

tern because many

options can be ex-

plored and there is

time to work in mul-

tiple job fields.

Many students at

La Jolla High have

interned and have

shared their expe-

riences, recommen-

dations, and advice

with the rest of

the student popula-

tion at LJHS.This year, Tay-

lor Mohrhardt is

interning for U-T-

TV, the Union Tri-

bunes media sec-

tion. As an intern,

Mohrhardt works

in the studio as

a floor director,

making sure the

cameras and guests

are positioned cor-

rectly. She also

runs the tele-

prompter. Mohrhardt

enjoys her intern-

ship, stating, I

love it so much.

I am able to work

with amazing people

that want me to suc-

ceed. They are very

patient and under-

standing as well.

When asked to give

advice on how to

land an internship,

Mohrhardt said, Be

very open and per-sonable. Adults

love to see eager

and sociable teen-

agers who want to

succeed at a young

age!

Senior Katie

Harmeyer also held

a prestigious in-

ternship last sum-

mer at the J. Craig

Venter Institute.

I extracted DNA

from the blood of

sub-Saharan Afri-

can people. Then,

I was able to am-

plify and sequence

the DNA in order to

characterize these

individuals into

different haplo-

groups which, are

a group of people

with the same ge-

netic mutation.

Harmeyer stated,

Characterizing

these individualsby their DNA showed

how these differ-

ent ethnic groups

migrated in and Af-

rica and therefore

can show how the

first humans popu-

lated the entire

world.

Another student

who started in-

terning for the UT

was senior Giovan-

ni Moujaes. When

I interned at the

UT, I was put right

into the mix. I

started out learn-

ing audio manage-

ment, the basics of

video editing, and

much more.

However, Moujaes

proves the old ad-

age that hard work

pays off. Eventu-

ally, I proved my

worth and became a

floor director andone of the main vid-

eographers. I loved

what I was doing.

As a high school

student, intern-

ships are an excel-

lent way to gain

work experience and

point you towards

the career you want

later in life.

internshipsBe a

camp counsel-

or. Whether you are an

athlete, an artist, or have a

passion for something else, help

out with a camp based on the topic

you love. This presents the opportunity

to teach younger children about your pas-

sion and you might even get paid for it!

Senior Izabel Hardy said, Before I became a

Counselor in Training (CIT) I was a camper. I

learned how to sail relatively well in my years

before becoming a CIT. To become a CIT you

have to be between 13 to 17 years of age. I

feel lucky to have worked for the Mission Bay

Aquatic Center in the Water Sports Camp. I

earned volunteer hours, which helped out

a lot with applying to colleges, and

did it mostly for the love I have

for sailing and to be able to

spend time with the amaz-

ing people I met!

Work at

a restaurant.

Senior David Beary

said, I have the perfect

summer job because it starts

right as school gets out and

ends on July 4. So I still basi-

cally two months left of summer to

relax and enjoy with the good money

I made at the Greek restaurant I

work for at the San Diego County

Fair. I was able to get this job

luckily because of a family

friend, but I still had

to apply with a re-

sume.

W o r k

Retail. Kristen

Chiu, a junior at LJHS

who works in retail said, I

made a resume including my inter-

ests, work experience, achievements

(academic, or any others), current jobs

I had when I applied, my name, phone

number, address, and my email. Then, I

walked into the boutique where I wanted

to work and talked to one of the girls who

worked there and gave her my resume. Soon

enough, I got an email and was asked to

have an interview with my boss. After

the interview, she told me that I

was going to start in just a cou-

ple of days, and I was so ex-

cited and happy that I

got the job!The biggest topic for students leaving high school seems to be whether they

will get a job that will allow them to achieve their desired standard of living.

Ultimately, its the job, not the money, that a person should be going for. Here

are some picks that are sustainable, and appealing to a broad range of people.

According to U.S. News and World Report, these are the top five most sustain-

able jobs on the market for this year. The trend is definitely leaning to de-

grees heavily influenced by biology, chemistry and physiology. In the end, do

what you love and money will find its way in if you look hard enough for it.

majorsthat lead to the highest and lowest paying jobs

Jobs of the future

3.Mechanical Engineering

Those who major in mechanical

engineering can get jobs in areas

as diverse as the petroleum in-

dustry, automotive industry, and

aerospace industry.

4.Finance

If you like money, major in

finance. Available jobs include

investment banking, financial

analysis, and corporate finance.

5.Mathematics

Majoring in mathematics can set

you up for many careers. Careers

available to you would range from

being a teacher, a statistician,

or a cost estimator.

Math and science majors are

high in demand. There tends to

be a lack of them in the United

States and a lot of companies are

hiring people from other coun-

tries to fill this gap.

The five worst majors, according

to Forbes are:

1. Anthropology and Archaeology

2. Film, Video, and

Photographic Arts

3. Fine Arts

4. Philosophy and Religious

Studies

5. Liberal Arts

These majors are reported to

correlate with high levels of

unemployment and low wages.

While one should take these

lists into account, it is impor-

tant to major in something you

enjoy studying. Furthermore,

graduate degrees are becoming

increasingly important.

bigger.

Median Income:

On Monday, April 15, 2013,

of the iconic Boston Mara-

thon. Two deadly explosions

were detonated, one after the

other, a little over 100 yards

apart.Among the hundreds who

were seriously injured, there

were three people who died.

These three include eight-

year-old Martin Richard, 29

year-old Krystle Campbell,

and 23 year-old Lingzi Lu.

The Boston Marathon is held

every year on Patriots Day, a

state holiday in Massachusetts.

It is currently the worlds old-

est and most famous annual

in 1897. Every year, an aver-

age of 20,000 people partici-pate and over 500,000 come

to watch. This long-standing

tradition is now tainted with

the injuries and losses of the

disaster of April 15th.

The FBI has recognized 19

year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

and his older brother, 26 year-

old Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the

suspects. However, during a

shootout at MIT the week of

the explosions, Tamerlan Tsar-

naev was shot dead. Unfortu-

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev man-

aged to escape from the po-

lice radar somewhere in the

city of Watertown. The whole

city of Boston was put under

lockdown, meaning that resi-

dents were commanded to stay

indoors and they were not to

leave until told otherwise. The

lockdown went on longer than

expected.

Tsarnaev was just one block

outside of the lockdown area

in Watertown. He was found

in a boat of Watertown resi-

dent David Henneberry. Hen-

neberry reportedly went out-

side when he noticed there wassomething off about his boat.

As he approached his boat, he

found an extremely damaged

body lying inside it. He was

not sure if it was the body of

Tsarnaev or not. He called the

police.

When the police arrived at

the scene, a quick spat of gun-

in his leg and throat. However,

police are not sure if Tsarnaev

shot himself in hope of sui-

cide in the throat, as the bullet

went through the back of hisneck. None the less, Tsarnaev

is currently in a stable state but

is barely in condition to speak.

The bombs used in the attack

were no ordinary grenades.

They were pressure-cooker

bombs packed with various

shrapnel, or projectiles for

weaponry. When the bombs

detonated, these extra piec-

as the equivalent of bullets,

shooting at and wounding

many people. The explosions

alone ripped off peoples limbs

but the additional projectiles

cut and severely wounded a

large number of participantsand spectators.

As to why the Tsarnaev

brothers did what they did at

Marathon on April 15, 2013

is still unclear. However, it is

widely accepted that Tamer-

lan Tsarnaev was involved in

underground terrorist groups

in Russia and anti-American

groups as well. It is reported

that he believed that the Bible

was just an excuse for Ameri-

cans to invade other countries.

On the other hand, the mo-tives behind Dzhokhar Tsar-

naevs actions are still quite

unclear. Whatever their rea-

soning may be, the bombings

of the Boston Marathon are

not to be taken lightly. Amer-

ica lost three innocent citizens

that Monday and hundreds

more were severely injured.

T h e B o s t o n B o m b i n g s

On August 1, 2001, an in-

teresting proposal was brought

before the U.S. Senate by

United States Senators Dick

Durbin and Orrin Hatch.

This proposal was titled the

DREAM Act, standing for

Development, Relief, and Ed-

ucation for Alien Minors, with

the idea to provide residency

to illegal aliens who graduated

from high school in the United

States, arrived in the U.S. as

minors, and have lived in the

before the bill was proposed.

residency will not be approved

if, at any time, a false identity

or counterfeit documents were

used by the immigrants.

The overall goal of this bill

was to help illegal immigrants

who have been here since

childhood gain legal status.

The act also contains certain

rules related to illegal aliens

participation in the military

and higher learning facilities,

such as college or junior col-

lege that would affect whether

or not their residency would

be approved.

While the proposal seems

simple enough, this bill has

been debated by the Senate

and by the House of Rep-

resentatives for many years.

On December 8, 2010, the

House passed a bill with sim-

ilar conditions to those of the

DREAM Act. However, pre-

vious versions of the bill have

failed to pass, such as the one

proposed in 2007, which failed

by only eight votes.

Recently, it was announced

that the DREAM Act will bebrought up again in the Sen-

ate later in the month of April.

While three members of the

Congress are ready to try to

keep up the bills momentum,

there are still some congress-

men who think that the pass-

ing of this bill will send the

wrong message to immigrants

as well as American citizens.

Detractors of the bill do not

want the bill to come off as

a fallback or a substitute

for immigration reform. Most

members of Congress want to

help immigration form prog-

ress and not lose any ground.

Some congressmen have even

changed their position from

previous years, realizing that

some of these possibly affected

children have lived in the U.S.

for nearly the same amount of

time that inherent U.S. citizens

have.

Outside of Congress, many

U.S. citizens have been in-

volved in helping immigration

reform. The movie The Dream

is Now was originally thoughtof by concerned citizens who

felt that illegal immigrants de-

served the right to citizenship.Their following is based off of

what is said in the DREAM

Act. The movie is being pro-

duced by critically acclaimed

director Davis Guggenheim,

who has also produced Waitingfor Superman and An Inconve-

nient Truth.The DREAM Act has

been around for many years.

Whether or not the bill itself

will actually be passed is com-

pletely up to the events of the

upcoming days, weeks, and

months in congress.

Staff Writeranything that classes need for

instruction according to chief

auditor Stephen Carr. A loop-

hole she found, to make the

money available to the team,

was calling the class a club and

all their materials necessary for

a special project. Otherwise

the materials might be consid-

ered extras and the students

would pay for them.

However, Teachworth was

adamant on the Science

Teams technicalities as a class,

and that he did not receive re-

imbursement for his or the stu-

dents money for at least one

month after it was spent.

Anything that students buy,

whether from members of Sci-

ence Team, ASB, or through

all students and cannot beinstructional supplies, said

Shelburne, as it would be tech-

nically taking advantage of.

Additionally, district and state

policy say that high schools

cannot give away student funds

(AKA public money) to any

charity except the Red Cross.

At LJHS and many other area

high schools there is a large

group of young philanthro-

pists who have raised money,

which for the past twenty years

has been given to Casa De Los

Pobres, The American CancerSociety and others, all without

approval. Mr. Shelburne had

agenda to be approved for all

schools, but when the mem-

bers came to it, the section was

only approved for LJHS.

Now, it is evident to students

and faculty at LJHS that the

District does not have enough

money. Audit reports by the

Fiscal Control Department

processing of cash by the Fis-

and effective procedures are

not in place for verifying and

securing large cash deposits

and the full functionality of

the cash register is not uti-

lized, according to audit re-

ports available on the SDUSD

website.

The effects of budget cuts

are shown in the classes of40+ students and the lack of

simple supplies such as pencils

and paper. Although, when

other athletic teams or aca-

demic competitors visit LJHS,

the expectation is still a rich

school, with top of the line

facilities and equipment. If the

intent is to keep that percep-

tion in tact, changes need to be

made starting with not shoot-

ing down any messenger who

brings change to LJHS.

made so the system is in accor-

dance with audit standards.

Margaret Thatcher was a

very accomplished woman;

leader of the Conservative

Prime Minister of the United

Kingdom, but she was also the

longest-serving British Prime

Minister of the 20th century.

On April 8, 2013, Thatcher

died at age 87 after suffering a

stroke.

Born on October 13, 1925

in Grantham, Lincolnshire,

England to parents Alfred

and Beatrice Roberts was

Margaret Hilda Roberts, later

known as Margaret Thatcher.

She became involved in pol-

itics through her father, who

was active in local politics at

their Methodist church where

Margaret and her sister werebrought up as strict Method-

ists.

Thatcher was a brilliant

girl, even from a young age.

In 1946, she attended Oxford

College and became the pres-

ident of their Conservative

association, where she came to

be inspired by political works

all her policies later in life.

The 1950s were a very busy

and exciting time for Thatch-

er. She started off her political

career being elected to the Par-

liament from Finchley in 1959,

and twenty years later, in May

of 1979, she was elected Prime

Minister, serving for eleven

and a half years. During her

terms she cut taxes, spending,

regulations, privatized state-in-

dustries and state housing,

reformed education, health,

and welfare systems, crushed

crime, and embraced tradi-

tional values.In her last few years, Thatch-

er was evidently not well. Her

husband passed away in 2003

due to pancreatic cancer, and

in 2005, Thatchers daughter

announced that the former

prime minister was suffering

from dementia. Since then,

her health began to slowly

slide downhill. On April 8,

2013, she suffered a stroke that

would ultimately end her life.

Although Thatcher has

passed away, her political leg-

acy will live on forever.

Local Music Scene: Porters Pub

By Misha Kabbage

Staff Writer

Whether youre looking for a tasty

late night bite or a night of dancing to

your favorite band, Porters Pub has it

all. Located on the UCSD campus, this

6000 square foot venue is the perfect

place for entertainment. Established in

1993, this pub and grill has had lots of

action thanks to its local indie acts that

students cant seem to get enough of.

Working with Porters Pub for over

a year, manager Sharona Silver kindly

shared with the Hi-Tide what her job

entails and the tasks she and others

fulfill to make successful events happen.

The concerts that are typically booked

have the goal of appealing to UCSDs

entire student population, hence the

majority of music played is either rap

and hip-hop. Indie rock and electronica

bands often make appearances as well.

The most popular musicians that have

made stops at the Porter stage are

Kendrick Llamar, Trinidad James,

Tyler the Creator, and Foals. When

asked if it was difficult to book these

famous groups, Silver said; Booking

famous bands isnt really any more

UCSD and La Jolla students alike enjoy Porters Pubs regular concerts

difficult than booking a band thats just

getting its start, unlike places with asmaller venue. They tend to have that

problem.

Because of its rising popularity,

Porters Pub receives several emails a

day requesting to hold events or book

concerts there rather than Porters itself

having to reach out to artists, groups,

etc. There are events happening almost

everyday and upcoming events are daily

posted ontheir websiteporterspub.com.If you have an empty calendar,

Porters Pub will provide you with a

night of food and music, whenever you

need it.

The most popularmusicians that havemade stops at thePorter stage areKendrick Llamar,Trinidad James,

Tyler the Creator,and Foals.

This will be the second year in whichLa Jolla High will be holding a filmfestival in our own Parker Auditorium.Students that are geared towards thefilm industry have a chance to showcasetheir skills and express their love fortheir unique art form with the rest of

the student population. The La JollaHigh film festival is unique due to itssubmission qualifications: each yearthe organizers pick an object that mustbe featured somewhere in the film; thisgives all the films a sense of unity andcohesiveness. Last years object was apotato, and this years is a brown paperbag. There will be a performance by asuprise musical artist, and the event issponsered by GoPro.

Spearheading the event this year issenior Matt Twohig. He talked aboutthe surprising turnout last year andexpects this new La Jolla High traditionto prosper after he leaves. I didnt knowthere were so many film makers at La

Jolla High, Twohig remarked. When

asked how he thought this years festivalwould turn out, he postulated, it willbe bigger and I think well get more

Outside LandsSad that Coachella is over? Looking for another stellar music festival?

a farmers market filled with local produce, the Panhandle Stage which is

powered entirely with solar energy, and a refillable water bottle program. This

year the festival will team up with Ustream and stream live performances to

submissions because people from thecommunity and the around the schoolare eager about [the Film Festival] dueto the success of last years event.

Seeing as this is a new tradition, withequal odds of becoming extremelypopular or sparsely attended, thepossibility for the administration tocut it is higher than usual. Twohigcommented, film making tools are

very readily accessible to students andI think that will help keep this thingalive. I have a feeling this festival willgo on for a long, long time. The

film festival is set for May 17th, andeveryone is encouraged to come outand experience it for themselves.
