About 12,000 people raised more than $200,000 for the 11th annual Donate Life Run/Walk hosted on Saturday.

The funds raised with go to the OneLegacy Foundation to help ensure quicker and more success-ful organ and tissue transplants, according to Lisa Bernfeld, a spokeswoman for Donate Life.

The money was raised through

individual team fundraising, spon-sors and entry fees.

The 1K and 5K run/walk kicked off at 9 a.m., beginning and end-ing at the Intramural Fields.

Hundreds of teams joined to-gether to walk in honor of or in memory of friends and family whose lives have been affected by organ donation.

“It’s the largest gathering of its kind in the country,” said Bryan Stewart, vice president of commu-nications for OneLegacy.

The inspiration behind the event is to encourage people to be-come organ donors and help those awaiting organ transplants by ef-

fectively recovering organs and tis-sues, according to Stewart.

OneLegacy also aims to support donor families.

In recent years, the organization has made a concerted effort to in-vite family members of donors to participate in the event as well, Stewart said.

“Of course families who lose a loved one and then make the deci-sion to think of other people and how they can help, that gives you a lot of faith in humanity,” Stewart said.

Actor Nick Cannon and Gene “Bean” Baxter from KROQ radio spoke during the opening cer-emony. Baxter shared his story of

donating his kidney to a friend and colleague, and Cannon, who almost required a kidney trans-plant in 2012, encouraged live donations.

Craig and Kathleen Hostert, co-founders of the event and Cal State Fullerton alumni, were hon-ored for their dedication to the event. The couple founded the event after Kathleen donated her kidney to Craig in 1998 to save his life.

This year was special to the

Hostert family because their son Justin Hostert, 24, a kinesiology major at Cal State Fullerton, do-nated his kidney to his father last December when he once again needed a transplant.

“I guess it’s just family tradi-tion, my mom did it so I had to do it,” said Hostert. “To be here this year and actually have donated an organ, I really understand why you guys come out to this walk.”

Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García spoke to an as-sembly of 40 local business leaders, faculty and powerhouses of regional politics on the importance of devel-oping workforce-ready workers on Friday at the Fullerton Marriott.

García encouraged local enter-prises to partner with the univer-sity, claiming that CSUF students have a huge impact on the busi-ness community.

More than 65 percent of CSUF graduates stay in Orange County, García said.

In addition, the California State University supplies 66 percent of those in nursing, 87 percent of teachers and nearly 90 percent of those in criminal justice.

However, when looking at cur-rent enrollments, California’s col-lege-educated workforce will fall short of the need by 2025, which would harm the state’s knowledge-based economy, García said.

Currently, businesses are strug-gling to find enough graduates who are ready to go to work, she said. During the short address, she said that student internships and partnerships between businesses and the university can be mutually beneficial.

“I believe that creating these new linkages among higher education institutions and our local com-munity ... can leverage the specific strength of each sector to signifi-cantly address the workforce devel-opment needs of Orange County,” García said.

During her Cal State Dominguez Hills presidency, García focused on workforce development as the hall-mark of her presidency.

As Cal State Fullerton’s Comm Week came to a close, advertis-ing majors from various Southern California colleges and the Uni-versity of Nevada, Las Vegas, pre-sented their Glidden paint-based advertising campaign for the 2013 National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC).

The yearly competition took place Thursday in the Titan Student Union. Each college presented their campaign, complete with a presenta-tion and commercial.

CSUF’s campaign took third place; USC took second place and first place went to UNLV.

Dan Schott, co-advisor for UNLV, said his school is normally considered to be an underdog at the competition, but that he was proud that the team was able to defeat ma-jor schools like USC and UCLA.

Schott also said most of the UNLV presentation team was suffer-ing from the stomach flu and were throwing up “minutes before they went onstage to present.”

According to Schott, the team for UNLV will be contacted by the American Advertising Federation.

“They’ll prepare to represent Ne-vada in the nationals in Arizona,” said Schott. “They’ll polish up their campaign and make it ready for a national competition.”

The teams were subject to a closed doors question and answer session with four NSAC judges which included Joyce Mireault, director of client services for Flint Group, and Trisha Schum, assistant brand manager for Glidden Paint.

CSUF’s ad campaign centered on Glidden paint and advertising specifically for Wal-Mart stores. The campaign was a mixture of social media, newspaper ads and digital

commercials that would bring more awareness to Wal-Mart’s paint de-partment.

According to Kristen Foss, 24, a CSUF advertising major, creating a campaign for Wal-Mart proved to be both a challenge and a benefit for the CSUF team, because the com-pany is successful and well known, but has many negative perceptions in the public eye.

“We had to combat the negatives while really reinforcing the things that they provide to people, which are convenience, affordability ... that was our main focus,” Foss said.

Mariam Al-Hooty, 21, an ad-vertising major, said the most dif-ficult part of the entire campaign was knowing where to start with

brand names as big as Glidden and Wal-Mart.

“We had two really big clients with two really strong brand equities and knowing where to go with that and where to put your focus was a big challenge for us,” said Al-Hooty. “But as soon as we figured out how the two brands worked together and what their strength was as an alli-ance, it was really easy to figure out how to sell it.”

Jefferey Pelton, 27, an advertising major at CSUF, received the “Creative Ink Different” award, which high-lighted creativity, while Foss received a $100 cash prize for giving the best question and answer responses.

Cal State Fullerton undergradu-ate and graduate students present-ed their findings on more than 40 poster boards at the fourth annual Geological Sciences Research Day at the Garden Cafe on Friday.

Brandon Browne, Ph.D., a geo-logical sciences professor, hosted the event.

Browne said the event is meant for students to present their re-search findings in a safe and sup-portive way, without being pres-sured.

He added that he wants to give students the opportunity to pre-pare for workshops and profes-sional meetings.

“These can be competitive and intense and intimidating so we want to give them practice and show their research to faculty and friends and peers,” Browne said.

Presentations contained differ-ent emphases of geology, which included earthquakes, past cli-mates, ancient fossils and volcanic eruptions.

Judges scored students on their display and awards were given for various categories, such as best poster and best presentation.

Daniel Philo, 29, a geology ma-jor, participated in the research day by presenting his poster about earthquake magnitudes and their ability to positively correlate to the magnitude of aftershocks.

“Right now it has not actually been proven that ... the magni-tudes of aftershocks can be corre-lated with the magnitudes of main shocks,” said Philo. “But so far that has not been the case.”

Philo is part of a team that has put their work together in order to prove that aftershocks can relate to one another. The team consists of four students and two professors, who helped with running the algo-rithm that runs the tests.

Philo said he was drawn to this type of work because of how in-teresting earthquakes are and the math used in the process.

“What especially drew me to this is the math aspect ... working with a statistician is really good experience for me,” Philo said. “This is something that I might go into further down the line in grad school.”

Natalie Hollis, 21, a geology major, said she has been working on her thesis for three years. Hol-lis said she became attached to her subject—a basin which had a vol-canic arc along the southern Cali-fornia coast.

A Mississippi man has been charged with crimes related to ricin-tainted letters sent to President Barack Obama and other officials, according to CNN.

James Everett Dutschke of Tupelo was charged with possession and use of a biological agent just days after charges against former suspect Paul Kevin Curtis were dropped.

Dutschke, 41, was arrested quietly at his home Saturday, FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said.

He is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Oxford Monday.

Earlier this month, federal investigators arrested Paul Kevin Curtis in connection with the ricin letters, but was released last week amid claims by his attorney that he was framed, possibly by Dutschke.

The letters were signed with a message that was originally connected to Paul Kevin Curtis.

Ricin is a toxin derived from castor beans that has no known antidotes. No illnesses have been confirmed in connection to the ricin-tainted letters.

Greece to slash 15,000 jobs

Greek lawmakers secured a deal Sunday for another 8.8 billion euro ($11.5 billion) bail-out that will cut thousands of government workers, accord-ing to CNN.

By the end of 2014, 15,000 civil servants will be fired.

This is the first time Greece has announced it will cut its workforce of about 700,000.

The right to a permanent position in the public sector was protected by the Greek constitution before Sunday. About one in four Greeks is on the public payroll and will be affected by the cuts as well.

The 168-123 vote resulted from heated debates in parlia-ment as well as among pro-testers gathered outside.

“We are going through a very difficult path, but this is going to be a success story,” said Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to the reporters fol-lowing the vote.

Earlier this month, European Union and International Mon-etary Fund officials said that Greece was on track to meet-ing its bailout targets.

As of April 28, more than 400,000 unemployed Cali-fornia residents will see a decrease in federal unem-ployment insurance benefits, according to KPCC.

Due to the sequestration, the weekly benefits will be slashed by 17.7 percent.

The cuts will affect those who have started receiving the benefits on April 28 or later.

People who are already re-ceiving the federal unemploy-ment benefits will not see a decrease in payments until their next tier of funding.

Unemployed residents in California receive an average of about $298 a week.

According to Loree Levy, a spokeswoman for California’s Employment Development De-partment, payments will drop by $52 a week.

“This money is very impor-tant sustenance to help them put food on the table, gas in the car,” said Levy. “It’s very important critical money to help these people get by so they can find that next job.”

The Employment Develop-ment Department has also been affected by the seques-tration and the depletion of federal funding.

ORGANS: Event urges participants to register as donorsMusical group All-4-One per-

formed “When I Needed an Angel,” a song the band wrote for a fan who was waiting for a liver transplant, and sang the National Anthem at the starting line.

Hannah McKay, 25, of Wright-wood, Calif., participated in the event in honor of her brother Mike, who died at age 23 after sustaining injuries in an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in 2008.

McKay’s brother was able to do-nate his corneas and ligaments and

McKay has walked every year since his death, she said.

“It feels good that something so bad in our lives has improved other people’s lives you know? It’s just the little bit of positive we can get out of it,” said McKay.

Ina Brown, an ambassador for OneLegacy, attended the event in honor of her daughter, Sarah, who is awaiting her third kidney transplant.

Brown donated her own kidney to Sarah 26 years ago and wore a pink dot donor costume to en-courage drivers to check ‘yes’ in the donor box at the Department

of Motor Vehicles.Brown, who works with the DMV

to speak on behalf of organ and tis-sue donation, encourages young people to become donors.

“It makes a difference,” she said. “Become a donor, it doesn’t cost you anything, we don’t ask you for money to donate, it’s just the right thing to do.”

After the run, participants set up tents to display their team’s story. A Circle of Life Garden was also set up to honor those whose organs were able to impact the lives of others.

GEOLOGY: Students show science posters

Hollis has gone on field trips to study her findings. She said she has collected six sandstone samples and many others at the Cleveland National Forest along Silverado Canyon and Ortega Highway.

Hollis said her main goal of the day was to work on her presenta-tion skills and help others with their skills. She added that she has presented at other conferences and was confident that her display would go well.

“I felt compelled when I came to to this campus to make a focus of my year the completion of the Uni-versity Strategic Plan,” García said.

García recently completed the University Strategic Plan; the first goal stresses preparing students for workforce needs.

“Join Cal State Fullerton in in-vesting in our young minds to be competitive in a global economic society,” García said, urging business leaders to consider partnerships.

García is committed to intern-ships preparing students for de-mands of the workplace.

“In business and society, we need to learn from (the students), so that our businesses will be suc-cessful,” said García. “So it’s a win-win partnership for all of us.”Anil Puri, dean of the College of Busi-ness and Economics, said hands-on experience is a component of both graduate and undergraduate level.

“Students go out and work with businesses on real business issues in a semester-long project,” said Puri. “What we hear from our em-ployers is that this is the best mon-ey they’ve ever spent ... the value they get from that is as good as any top consultant might give them.”

Biology and chemistry students are working in labs, and marketing students have been working with faculty on projects.

“It’s happening in all of our col-leges,” García said.

García worked as an assistant to an assistant buyer of now-defunct department store chain Allied Stores while she was a student.

“It helps because it keeps you focused to understand what is happening in the world. I had to write memos, I had to keep things on task, I had to know how many pieces we had to import from Eu-rope for the fashion shows,” Gar-cía said. “All of that is a learning experience.”

García also stressed the impor-tance of the Washington D.C. summer internship program and added that she is currently work-ing on making it year-round.

The process is still early, and

she is still working to fund the program.

Theresa Harvey, president and CEO of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce and host of the event, said she regularly hires students.

Harvey hires students of various majors, but said her key desires in an employee are writing and com-munications skills.

Recently, a team of student-consultants worked with the Chamber of Commerce to put to-gether a strategic plan.

“I think there’s a lot of concern on how businesses can connect with the university,” said Harvey. “I’m very encouraged to hear we’re shar-ing the message on how employers can make an impact and the big im-pact that they’re currently making.”

WORKFORCE: Partnerships key in business and student success

Award-winning author and his-torian Craig Symonds gave a lec-ture on three case studies of Abra-ham Lincoln’s use of Naval tactics during the Civil War at Steven G. Mihaylo Hall on Friday.

Symonds gave context to the circumstances that Lincoln was in at the start of the Civil War.

“I think it’s important to rec-ognize how he was able to adjust to the absolutely unprecedented circumstances he confronted as president,” Symonds said.

He explained that when the Civil War began, there was little precedent to how the war should be run and who should be in con-trol of what aspect of the militia.

The only guide to running the war were a few small examples from past presidents. Overall, Sy-monds said, Lincoln had to find his own way through the war.

Symonds used three case stud-ies to show Lincoln’s approach to the war.

The first study looked at how he dealt with a crisis early on in the war—one of his Navy officers captured two British ambassadors who were trying to aid the Con-federacy in the war.

Britain responded by demand-

ing the release of the ambassadors and asked for an apology. Lincoln went on to release the ambassadors without an apology and the prob-lem was solved.

Symonds said that Lincoln’s patience when this crisis came up was one attribute that helped him succeed in the war.

In the next case study Symonds explained how the rivers through-out the United States played an important role in deciding the outcome.

Lincoln decided to put together reinforcement along the main riv-ers. He loaded guns and ammo on these small boats in order to gain an advantage against the Confed-eracy.

Symonds said that Lincoln was able to successfully strategize a way to use the rivers to his advan-tage. He said that Lincoln’s strate-gies with the rivers of the United States helped them win the war.

The final case study was also on Lincoln’s use of the rivers. Lincoln was able to use the rivers to trans-port troops around Confederate lines which gave the United States

an advantage. Symonds used this example to show that Lincoln used rivers to his advantage throughout the war.

Symonds explained a handful key attributes that Lincoln pos-sessed during the stresses of Civil War. The first one he talked about was patience.

“This is a hard thing to have,” said Symonds. “We want things now.”

His other attribute was a lack of ego, a good attribute for a presi-dent to have, explained Symonds.

He explained that having a healthy ego helped Lincoln to overcome adversity and make de-cisions that needed to be made. He was selfless as president.

“Lincoln knew all along there were bigger issues than him,” Sy-monds said. He talked about how Lincoln realized that in order to win the war he would have to fo-cus his full attention to it.

Lincoln also used a sense of hu-mor to help him relax when he was stressed. Symonds discussed how Lincoln would use jokes to relax and stay calm during hard times.

The director of marketing commu-nications at Hyundai Motor America gave a seminar on creative decision-makings, hyper-personalization and re-al-time information systems at Steven G. Mihaylo Hall on Friday morning.

David Matathia addressed a large crowd of business and mar-keting students during his lecture, which was sponsored by the Mar-keting Department.

Matahia discussed how Hyundai utilizes social media as a way to drive their business forward. Aside from running official Facebook and Twitter fan pages, Hyundai is able to “intercept people based on their search activity,” according to Matathia.

For example, if one were to search “Mazda 3” or “Toyota Corolla” on Twitter or Facebook, the first thing a user would see to the right of the search results is an ad promoting the Hyundai Elantra, he said.

In relation to social media usage, Hyundai also uses Facebook to target potential customers by collecting all the data one puts on their page.

The data ranges from one’s birth-day, places they have been to and their “likes.”

“You can now take all that informa-tion, and I can now add on this layer of ‘Are you in-market for a car the next six months?’” said Matathia.

Hyundai recently did a test using the data, and was able to reach hundreds of thousands of households that were in-market shoppers, Matathia said.

The company then displayed rel-evant ads for the “right vehicle,” all based on demographic data they knew about the individuals, Matathia said.

As a result, they were able to sell a couple thousand cars, according to Matathia.

As director of marketing communi-cations, Matathia looks through lead generation reports to see data on users who are requesting more information about Hyundai from various sources,

including Hyundai’s website and third-party services such as Edmunds, Auto-Trader and Yahoo! Autos.

“Every single day starts the same way. And it sounds boring, but literally what it does is it sets the course for ev-erything I do pretty much for the rest of that day,” said Matathia.

During the lecture, Matathia touched on the “purchase funnel,” a long-held marketing theory that illus-trates a customer’s journey toward buy-ing a product or service.

It starts off with the potential buyer’s awareness of the product or service. The individual then expresses their interest in buying the product. Lastly, they would ultimately purchase it.

According to Matathia, the long-held purchase funnel theory has been dead the last couple of years.

Many buyers turn to manufacturers’ websites and third-party shopping sites to search for specifications, reviews, photos and videos before deciding which car to purchase, he said.

According to Matathia, people visit an average of 3.5 websites during their journey toward purchasing a car, and 25 percent of people visit at least five different sites before making a decision.

It is “staggering as a marketer” be-

cause it used to be that a company could put an advertisement on televi-sion or in newspapers to try to get po-tential buyers’ attention, Matathia said.

“And then if they were interested enough to go in, they’d go to the dealer,” he said. “They’d kick the tires, they’d go to a couple of other dealerships, and ultimately they come in and they figure out what they wanted to buy.”

The process of how Hyundai reach-es out to potential buyers through so-cial media was, to Catherine Atwong, Ph. D., a marketing professor, a high-light of Matathia’s talk Friday.

“It’s hyper-personalization,” Atwong said. “Hyper-personalization is some-thing very hard to achieve, and they can achieve it through technology.”

Andre Chavez, 22, a business marketing major, said he liked that Matathia pointed out the connec-tion of how data reflects on his mar-keting decisions.

“Overall, it was really great to see how a marketing director could tie in everything that we’ve learned in class in a cool way, where he puts together all the marketing courses into one little presentation, and explains how they all fit together,” he said.

ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan

There are some inevitabilities of the world we live in.

First and foremost, there will never be a time in the history of the Earth when some species isn’t in de-cline. Populations of organisms rise and fall, and this is a natural process.

Secondly, the human race is grow-ing at an extraordinary rate of speed. There are more than 7 billion people on the Earth, and we need space to expand and operate. A consequence of this expansion is an increased probability of accidents. Oil spills, chemical spills and the introduction of foreign species into various eco-systems have all been the price of hu-man expansion.

Both of these ideas are true and shouldn’t be forgotten.

However, the former fact should never be used to rationalize the lat-ter. We should never defer to the idea that species decline is part of a natural process to justify our en-vironmental shortcomings. More often than not, if a species is dying off quickly, it’s usually because of something humans have done.

That’s why it’s crucial that when-ever a species is in decline, we ex-amine the extenuating factors and circumstances that might have cre-ated that decline. If populations of a species are getting smaller in the wake of environmental disaster, we definitely need to see if there’s a link between the two.

I’d like to stress that I’m not an alarmist. I won’t claim the studies I’m about to mention are 100 per-cent accurate in their interpreta-tions, but I want to point out that analysis is important in our modern world. I’ve always sought to look

at things critically and I encourage anyone who reads this column to do the same.

First look at some occurrences in the Gulf of Mexico following the BP Oil spill in 2010. According to a recent study by the University of South Florida, there has been a mass die-off of foraminifera, a microscop-ic organism that exists at the bottom of the food chain.

The leading culprit of this die-off has been Corexit—an oil dispersant that was released immediately after the spill in the hopes of curtailing some of the damage done by the 34 million gallons of oil that spilled into the gulf.

Ironically, additional studies from numerous sources have indicated that in some instances, this chemical dispersant is just as bad as the mate-rial it was attempting to clean up.

Corexit broke up the oil at the surface of the water into tiny bits, so it would be swept under the ocean waves and drawn down to the ocean floor. The problem is that these tiny little bits of oil never really went away, instead affecting creatures at the sea bottom.

Studies of tissue in shellfish from the Gulf have revealed trace elements of oil. The shellfish consumed the oil broken up by Corexit and it remained in their system (one of the many rea-sons I’d avoid seafood from the Gulf).

A study by Louisiana State Uni-versity’s Department of Ocean-ography and Coastal Sciences has revealed populations of shrimp without eyes and sea creatures miss-ing extremities. They, too, call atten-tion to Corexit.

And then we have the death of

foraminifera listed by USF. This is why many valid sources believe the use of corexit was a major mistake.

However, not everyone sees it that way.

“The toxicity of Corexit is about the same as dish soap, which is effec-tively what it is and how it works,” BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley told a group of stockholders. “I do not believe anybody—anybody with almost common sense—would say waves of black oil washing into the marshes and beaches would have been a better thing, under any cir-cumstances.”

First of all, Mr. Dudley’s logic is so fallible, it’s scary. Just because something has the same processes as dish soap doesn’t mean that it’s just as safe. Cocaine works in a similar fashion as the coffee I drink in the morning, but this doesn’t mean I would ever use cocaine.

Secondly, what would indicate to me that this chemical dispersant is really safe when there is extensive evidence to the contrary?

He argues that anyone with com-mon sense would have opted for the

use Corexit instead of leaving the oil where it was.

Yet, anyone with common sense would have recognized that, as peo-ple, we’re never just limited to choice A or choice B. Though the situation called for immediate action, I’d imagine that different technologies were available and were probably better tested than Corexit.

I’m not going to say that Corex-it is the sole cause of the extensive damage that we see in the Gulf. In the end, I don’t know anything more than scientists or the people over at BP (and probably less).

But what really bothers me is Mr. Dudley’s nonchalant attitude in re-gard to something that could indeed be very dangerous.

Ultimately, we need to shine a light on Corexit and its properties in order to determine if it’s as dan-gerous as studies have indicated. We can’t just brush it off as no big deal, and we must pay attention to the studies. By ignoring it, we would inadvertently resign ourselves to the notion that species decline is just an-other part of human expansion.

Oil’s well that ends well Two countries, one economic problem

While American economic watchers are lamenting the lower-than-expected Gross Domestic Product numbers released on Fri-day (2.5 percent vs. an expected 3 percent), and as Europe’s eco-nomic malaise only deepens (Spain reaches a historic 27.2 percent un-employment), another fiscal crisis is brewing on another troubled continent.

The second and third largest economies of the world, China and Japan respectively, are facing a monumental challenge to sustain or create economic growth. Both nations possess aging popula-tions, growing deficits and massive market-distorting government in-volvement within their economies.

Due to different reasons, either could precipitate the next global economic crisis.

China is commonly portrayed in the media as an unstoppable economic juggernaut with an in-satiable thirst for natural resources and relentless economic growth. However, recent slowdowns and a meteoric rise in land prices are troubling nascent economic trends in the world’s most popu-lous nation.

Average real estate prices have risen 9.3 percent, while Hong Kong’s prices have jumped 23.6 percent over the last year, an ascent on par with the American real es-tate boom days in the mid-2000s. Driven by escaping capital flow-ing from the easy money policies of the world’s central banks, this price spike is clearly unsustainable.

This fact is not lost on Chinese officials. In an attempt to cool the market, the government has sought to deflate this bubble by institut-ing a new 20 percent tax on homes akin to the 2008 American hous-ing collapse. As a consequence, the Chinese economy missed its fore-casted 8 percent quarterly annual-ized growth and came in subpar at 7.6 percent.

While such a small decline might look insignificant, future economic growth is projected to stumble further in the com-ing quarters and a slowing China will have repercussions across the world, dimming one of the only bright spots in a world full of eco-nomic disappointments.

Further, in recent years official Chinese economic statistics have come under question, so the ac-tual state of economic slowdown in China very well could be under-stated by its erstwhile communist oligarchy. Will China be able to cool its numerous economic bub-bles before they bring the world’s second largest economy to its knees, or will an overheated mar-ket cause a disorderly derailment of the Chinese economy?

Japan is an even more worry-ing case of economic danger. The world’s third-largest economy has embraced “Abenomics” named for its greatest proponent, Prime Min-ister Shinzo Abe, who promises to

beat the stubborn deflation that has gripped his county for the past decade and a half. Like our own Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Eas-ing program that purchases $85 billion monthly in securities, the Bank of Japan is buying $75 bil-lion worth of government bonds each month and Abe is aggressive-ly pursuing fiscal stimuli through higher domestic spending.

However, since Japan’s economy is much smaller than the United States economy, these asset pur-chases have a much greater cumu-lative effect relative to our own do-mestic QE, and since November of 2012, the Japanese yen has fallen 25 percent against the dollar. This currency devaluation has prompt-ed calls from other central banks to match the yen’s fall and threatens to instigate a global currency de-valuation war.

Unfortunately, the effects of “Abenomics” could also precipitate a major fiscal disaster. Japan cur-rently possesses the world’s highest debt to GDP ratio at 236 percent, and devotes 21 percent of its annu-al budget to servicing the interest on that debt, despite a record low yield on 10-year bonds of under 1.4 percent.

If Abe, as promised, succeeds in inducing inflation of 2 percent, yields will also have to rise, strain-ing the Japanese government’s abil-ity to pay the interest on its enor-mous debt. Further, at the current rate of debt purchases, the Bank of Japan will own an equivalent to 65 percent of the annual GDP in governmental bonds (compared to the U.S. Fed’s 25 percent), and any debt divestment will likely prove calamitous to the price of Japanese bonds as the market is swamped with excess supply.

By gambling that historically low government bonds yields will continue indefinitely, Abe and the Bank of Japan are setting the stage for an epic bond market melt-down in the world’s third largest economy.

Economic headwinds and dan-gers continue throughout the world resulting from overleveraged governments, monetary manipula-tion, and fiscal profligacy. Wheth-er in Europe’s troubled Eurozone economic basket-cases, the United States’ underperforming and ane-mic recovery, or East Asia’s dispir-iting economic prospects, the world is desperately in need of a reduction in debt, lower regulatory burdens, and less distorting gov-ernment interference in national economies.

Until those prerequisites are met, dangerous risks to the world economy will remain.

After an event like the Boston Marathon bombings, people can live in reverent fear long after the tragedy has passed.

It is likely—even understand-able—for people to be afraid; to fear copycats, to fear it occurring it to them. Those are valid fears.

Yet more times than not, people who are out to harm can play with the public’s fear. Even worse, this can be very difficult for law enforcement to prevent and can further play upon the public’s gullibility.

Proof of this fear can be seen in the many bomb hoaxes that have occurred in the wake of the events in Boston. The hoaxes in turn have been detrimental to the law en-forcement that so tirelessly work to protect the public. Some suspicious items have been reported in Orange County and Los Angeles in the last few weeks.

After police investigation, it was revealed that they were fake.

Although the people that report the suspicious packages are merely at-tempting to stop potential disasters—doing their best to be responsible in such stressful times—they can easily take attention from law enforcement.

The law enforcement suggest that the public do a little investi-gation of their own before calling the police. With potential threats it is easy to want to call the po-lice, but not allowing oneself to be influenced by troubling recent events can spare law enforcement from wasting their time.

But of course, public gullibility isn’t only manipulated for poten-tially dangerous means, but for emo-tionally draining ones as well.

An example of this can be pictures with fabricated stories behind them. According to ABC News, a certain picture of a blonde girl wearing a red shirt sparked a huge online move-ment; the story was of an 8-year-old girl running the marathon for the Sandy Hook victims and was killed in the blast. Groups were even ask-ing to wear red in remembrance of her and other victims.

Yet the story was completely made up. The young girl in the picture was reported to be alive and running for a different race altogether, the Joe Cassella 5K. Even the cause the girl was running for was different; the Virginia Charity to pay for sick chil-dren’s care.

Another arose from a picture of a Boston man aiding a young woman during the Boston aftermath. Soon

enough a story arose that the two were a couple and that he was going to propose to her that day after she crossed the finish line. Instead, she had unfortunately died.

This again was fabricated. The truth was that he was a stranger helping her, she was a spectator and she survived.

But why do so many of these hoaxes occur after a tragedy like the Boston Marathon bombing?

Unfortunately, made-up stories like these are easily invented in the age of the Internet and social media, where it’s simple to post a status or picture that draws sympathy (and more importantly, attention) from the public. Even sharing it becomes easier for a person; they just click and are able to share it with their group and friends. Thus the rumors begin and spread.

Many people want to support and help in any way possible whether it

be by liking something on a Face-book status or retweeting on Twit-ter. Still, most of the time people don’t bother to check the veracity of things—the available evidence—be-fore jumping to conclusions.

The public does not always check the facts, and this is not beneficial for us or for the people who eventually get involved in these incidents (police and civil-ians alike). With the story about the little girl, for example, the in-cident left the family to refute all the rumors that surfaced.

Many people are likely to think with their heart and not with their head.

As a result it easier to play not only with the public’s fear but also sympathy. The lesson of the story is that—as consumers of the media—there needs to be a sense of account-ability, not gullibility, towards things that are uploaded and reported.

China and Japan are both suffering economically, boding ill for the rest of us

Cal State Fullerton’s production of Rough Magic, which premiered Friday at the Clayes Performing Arts Center’s Young Theatre, made audi-ence members want to rush home and be re-acquainted with their favorite Shakespeare plays stowed away on dusty shelves.

Rough Magic revitalizes an often lost Shakespearean tale The Tempest, with modern day hilarity.

Although finding humor in Shakespeare’s 15th century plays that feature gloomy soliloquy scenes and overly dramatic characters, CSUF graduate student and director Travis Donnelly and his cast were able to take a hilarious and campy approach to The Tempest.

It probably wouldn’t hurt to brush up on some Shakespeare before see-ing this play.

However, the first scene opens with Linda Summers, played by Danielle Amick, graduate student teacher at Columbia University, quizzing her students on the “magic” that lies beneath Shakespeare’s play.

Summers asks her students and audience to consider “What is mag-ic?” and whether or not there is a possibility that somewhere beyond the books these magical characters are really alive.

The plot is set up right from the beginning.

Unless you are a Shakespeare buff, the opening scene may be lit-tle confusing.

Summer’s class is jammed packed with The Tempest references, but as soon as the the rest of the cast take the stage, the mysticism of the play is cunningly transformed.

The dark dramaturgy is mostly set in modern day New York City. The

cleverly designed set oozes the urban grittiness of the buildings that make up Manhattan.

In Rough Magic, the destruction of Manhattan is at stake as a book of spells is stolen from an evil sorcerer, Prospero, played by Craig Tyrl.

Prospero’s hunky and heroic son, Caliban, played by Tyler Howell, steals the book of spells and hides it on another plane to stop his father’s menacing ways.

Prospero, accompanied by his two ruthless fairies Ariel, played by Jordan Kubat, and Sasia, played by Charlotte Williams, will stop at nothing to get the book back, even if that means destroying all of New York City.

A team of unlikely heroes are teamed up by random circumstances to face the terrifying Prospero from 500 years ago.

The team consists of Melanie Porter, played by Natalie Beis-ner, a raven-haired city girl and self proclaimed “dramatrug” with pseudo-magician-like powers that free characters who are “trapped” inside of plays.

It’s up to her to use her powers to defeat the sorcerer.

She is accompanied by a revenge seeking “Fury,” named Tisiphone, played fearlessly by Tim Alexander.

His character is helping Melanie because she unlocked from an an-cient Greek play, so he owes her big.

The team is completed by Chet Baxter, played by Joey Vahedi, a 17-year-old lifeguard from Co-ney Island who fell for Melanie and wants to prove his love as the “young warrior.”

It turns out it’s not just his love-able accent that packs a mighty punch.

Alexander and Vahedi stand out in their roles and add zesty one-liners that provide the zany and yet very believable comic relief punches.

Alexander’s drag queen perfor-mance of “It’s Raining Men” made

running around in a purple beehive wig seem easy on stage.

Vahedi nailed the Coney Island accent, putting Jersey Shore cast-members to shame.

Grant Schumacher, an undeclared major, thought the acting of Vahedi was bold and believable.

“The acting is really good, I think. The lead guy who plays the lifeguard has a good accent,” said Schumacher.

Rough Magic, originally written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, makes obvious references to modern ac-tion films where the screen is filled with magicians, heroes, villains and plenty of comic relief.

Aguirre-Sacasa, who has written for Marvel Comics and shows such as Glee and Big Love, combines com-ic book angles with heartfelt musical influences and sometimes dark sto-ryline structures.

Director Donnelly aimed to interpret this modern day action hero attitude to the small stage at CSUF by incorporating larger scale special effects.

Donnelly said that a fire marshall was on-hand just in case.

He said that this is something that shows at CSUF have never done before.

“We are trying to branch out and do things that have never been done before, like live flame,” Donnelly said.

Donnelly tried to bring the ac-tion to the small set of the theatre by using pyrotechnics such as fi-ery fog that rises from beneath the

“streets” of New York City. However, there were times where

the lighting and mood creating background music were abruptly cut in a distracting way for the audience.

“I like the comedic aspects of it, but some of the special effects with the lighting and stuff, were a little bit off, ” said Mitch Lange, 19, a ki-nesiology major.

Where these could just be chalked up to opening night mishaps, some of the effects were lost to a small the-atre and were not as easily cohesive to the play as intended.

The special effects were perhaps appropriately “rough,” but com-bined with the campiness of the play, it was palatable and actually charming.

Ricky Abalez, 18, an acting major, said that despite the competing ele-ments of action and script, the play was heartfelt.

“Even though it was like an epic script, I felt like it was very heartfelt, like I cried ... I just thought it was really unique,” Abalez said.

On paper, the play may seem random and kooky. Although this is true, the acting performances are exceptional.

And even throughout campy jokes, endless literature references and dramatic cheesy battle scenes, heartstrings will be tugged as the au-dience is captivated by Rough Magic’s characters and unique storyline.

Rough Magic runs through May 12.General admission is $11 and $10

Pain & Gain is a movie based on a true story about three Miami body-builders in the 1990s that devise a plan to kidnap a millionaire client and take all of his money. Things go awry as the story quickly leads to violence, torture and murder.

The main character Daniel Lugo, played by Mark Wahlberg, comes from nothing and wants to make it to the top. He is inspired by the character Tony Montana from Scar-face, who also came from nothing and made his way to the top.

He is a self-proclaimed “doer,” not a “don’ter,” and does everything in his power to reach his goal of having a fortune.

As expected, doing everything at all costs eventually leads to more problems than happiness.

Lugo enlists the help of his employ-ees Adrian (Anthony Mackie) and Paul (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).

Lugo is portrayed as the leader but lacks intelligence, while Adrian is a guy who just wants to look good. Paul is an ex-convict and alcoholic who found Jesus upon being released from jail and tries to stay straight, but Lugo eventu-ally drives him to relapse.

Johnson is the real standout out of the trio as he really made his character believable.

Aside from the dramatics, Johnson was also the funniest character in the movie, along with Rebel Wilson who played Adrian’s wife. They made the two hours of the movie fly by.

Unfortunately, the audience is soon reminded that this movie is based on a true story, which makes it uncomfortable to enjoy. The comedy is overshadowed with acts

of torture and murder. But it somehow works. Despite be-

ing a true story, the movie is enjoyable. Although you feel sympathy for the victims, the movie is still good for the storytelling and entertainment aspect.

Director Michael Bay deserves credit for making a movie unlike any-thing else he has done in the past such, as the Transformers franchise.

The dramatic and dark film shows Bay’s ability to extend beyond his com-fort zone with crazy over-the-top ex-plosions and fight scenes.

The chemistry between the three characters are kind of like the Three Stooges if they were bodybuild-ers. Lugo, Adrian and Paul banter back and forth, and joke around throughout the movie.

It feels like they are brothers. The chemistry and Three Stooges compari-son screams Murphy’s Law—anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

It’s hard to feel any sympathy for these guys, but the comedy allows one to laugh at all their mistakes.

In real life, the three characters known as the “Sun Gym Gang,” was an infamous Miami group that kid-napped, tortured and even murdered innocent victims.

Their crimes also became the subject of a memoir written by Mark Schiller, one of the gang’s surviving victims.

Despite the gruesome nature, the movie works. One downside to the movie is that it could have easily been less than two hours and it felt as though it dragged on toward the end.

But the movie is a dark com-edy about the American nature of judging success through material things such as mansions, exotic cars and women.

All in all, the movie will make you laugh, make you cringe and make you sad and turn away from the bloody scenes, three elements that a great movie should have.

Baseball gets series victory vs Hawaii

After dropping game one in disappointing fashion, Cal State Fullerton was able to escape Ho-nolulu with a series victory over the University of Hawaii.

The Titans (36-7, 12-3 Big West) lost 4-3 in the opener but produced back-to-back shutouts to claim the final two games by scores of 5-0 and 3-0 at Les Mu-rakami Stadium.

With the series victory, CSUF holds a one-game lead in the Big West over second-place Cal State Northridge. The Titans also com-pleted a season-long seven-game road trip with a 5-2 record.

Right-handed pitcher Thomas Eshelman suffered the shortest outing of his college career Fri-day, lasting only 3.1 innings. He allowed three runs (two earned) and six hits while striking out just one. All of the damage occurred in a three-run bottom of the third when the Rainbow Warriors (9-29, 4-12 Big West) erased a 1-0 deficit to touch up the freshman for three hits. Hawaii was also the benefactor of a passed ball by catcher Chad Wallach and a costly throwing error by shortstop Richy Pedroza. Eshelman was removed in the fourth trailing 3-1.

It was only the third game all season in which CSUF failed to hold a one-run lead.

The Titans managed to tie the game with a pair of late-inning sacrifice flies, but in the bottom of the eighth inning Hawaii retook the lead. With runners on the cor-ners and two outs, Hawaii’s Austin

Wobrock’s check swing infield sin-gle scored the go-ahead run from third base. CSUF’s Koby Gauna (2-1) was charged with the loss despite pitching four innings of one-run, two-hit ball. He struck out two, but the only walk he is-sued turned out to be the game-winning run.

Game two Saturday saw Titan designated hitter J.D. Davis col-lect five singles to help the team even the series. Davis’ performance marked the first time in three years that a Titan hit safely five times in one game (Gary Brown at UCSB on April 17, 2010). First base-man Carlos Lopez also recorded a multi-hit effort, going 3-5 with a double and two runs scored.

Freshman Justin Garza (9-0) threw eight shutout innings to get the pitching staff back on course,

allowing just five hits. Garza re-tired ten consecutive batters dur-ing the first four innings.

Continuing the trend Sunday was Graham Wiest (7-2), who also tossed eight spotless innings in the victory. The sophomore right-hander stifled the ‘Bows, surrendering just two hits and a walk while striking out five. Wi-est faced just four batters over the minimum and retired the last 11 he faced.

Center fielder Michael Lorenzen led the offensive attack for the Ti-tans, going 3-4 with a run scored. Third baseman Matt Chapman picked up a key double in a two-run fourth inning. Lorenzen also notched his 13th save in 14th chanc-es by pitching a scoreless ninth.

CSUF was first to cross the plate in all three games this weekend,

and is now 26-3 this season when scoring first. The Titans have also outscored opponents 46-7 in the first inning this season. It was the ninth shutout of 2013 for CSUF, who has now matched last season’s win total. Second baseman Matt Orloff returned to action for the first time since Feb. 22, when he injured a finger in a game at TCU. Lorenzen is now fourth on the school’s all-time saves list with 29. The junior figures to pass the re-cord of 34, held by Nick Ramirez (2009-2011).

With the road trip behind them, the Titans are now set to return to Fullerton, where they will await the start of a three-game conference se-ries against Long Beach State, begin-ning Friday. The Dirtbags will be seeking to avenge a Titan sweep at Blair Field in late March.

The Cal State Fullerton softball team managed to salvage a win on its trip up north at UC Davis but dropped two of three. The lone win came on Sunday afternoon.

After winning their last six games in a row, the Titans (23-27, 8-10) lost the first two games on Saturday by a com-bined two runs. The Titans were shut-out 1-0 by the Aggies (21-24, 8-10) in game one and lost another close one in game two by the score of 3-2. The Titans came back on Sunday to take game three and returned the favor by beating the Aggies by one run, 4-3.

Friday, Titan right hander Jasmine Antunez kept the game scoreless going into extra innings but it wasn’t enough as the Aggies walked-off in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Antunez started off the inning by allowing the first two batters to get on base with a leadoff walk to pinch hit-ter Caitlin Voss and an infield single to Cat Guidry. With the winning run on third and one out, UC Davis’ Jasmine Lee hit a shot back to Antunez who threw home to try and get the runner out but the runner, Christina Guidry, was able to just beat the throw and give the Aggies the 1-0 victory.

In the second game, the Titans came out hitting and took the early 2-0 lead against the Aggies. CSUF got things started in the second inning when it led off the inning with consecutive hits by shortstop Gabby Aragon and sec-ond baseman Carissa Turang, the latter of which allowed Aragon advanced to third base. Titan right fielder Tiffany Sheffler then hit an RBI sacrifice fly to left field scoring Aragon for the 1-0 lead, which was followed by an RBI single by left fielder Leesa Harris to ex-tend the lead to 2-0.

The lead didn’t last long as the Ag-gies came roaring back in the bottom of the fourth inning after catcher JJ Wagoner hit a two run-triple to deep

center field which scored two runners to tie things up at 2-2. Then in the bot-tom of the fifth inning, the Aggies took scored the eventual winning run with two outs on an RBI single by center fielder Kristin Brava.

Titan right hander Desiree Ybarra allowed three earned runs on eight hit in six inning pitched, allowing one walk with one strikeout but was out pitched by Aggie right hander Jes-sica Thweatt, who allowed just two earned runs on six hits in seven innings pitched, striking out five in the process.

In the series finale, the Titans were led by third baseman Eliza Crawford who connected for her eighth home run of the season. The Titans went to work right off the bat with a leadoff single by catcher Ariel Tsuchiyama and after the next two batters were called out, Crawford came up to the plate and smashed the ball over the fence for the two-run home run and the 2-0 lead.

The Titans then took a 3-1 lead in the second inning when center fielder Ashley Carter hit an RBI single down the first base line that scored first base-man Melissa Sechrest who was on third base after a leadoff triple.

The Aggies scored again in the bot-tom of the third inning to cut the lead to 3-2 but Carter struck again when she hit yet another RBI single in the top of the fourth inning which scored Aragon to put them ahead 4-2.

The Aggies were able to score one last time in the bottom of the sixth inning but Ybarra was able to shut the door on them for the save after Antunez started the game and earned the win, allowing just two runs (one earned) with one strike-out and one walk in 2.2 innings pitched. Ybarra allowed one earned run on five hits and one strikeout in 4.1 innings pitched.

The Titans look to start a new winning streak this upcoming week-end as they host Pacific starting this Friday at 4 p.m.

After the conclusion of a 48-game shortened regular season, the National Hockey League (NHL) will embark on the most excit-ing part of the season, the Stanley Cup playoffs. The playoffs begin on Tuesday. All of the Stanley Cup playoff games will be featured on NBC or NBC Sports Network.

The final games of the regular season took place this weekend and were full of excitement with teams such as Minnesota and De-troit clinching playoff spots with their wins. The Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators played in the only game on Sunday, which de-termined the final seedings in the Eastern Conference. This game was postponed for the Sunday after the season officially ended due to the Boston Marathon bombings.

In the Western Conference, the President’s Trophy-winning Chicago Blackhawks hold the No. 1 seed and will face the eighth-seeded Minneso-ta Wild in the first round. I predict that the Blackhawks will defeat the Wild. The Blackhawks’ stellar goal-tending of Corey Crawford has been excellent all seasons for the Hawks with a 19-5-5 record and a .926 save percentage. Crawford is third in the league with a 1.94 goals-against av-erage (GAA). Patrick Kane has 23 goals and 32 assists, and captain Jonathan Toews has similar numbers with 23 goals and 25 assists.

The second-seeded Anaheim Ducks will face the seventh-seeded Detroit Red Wings facing off in the playoffs for the fifth time in fran-chise history. In 2003 and 2007,

the Ducks triumphed over the Red Wings winning the series. Both times Anaheim defeated Detroit, it went on to compete in the Stanley Cup Finals. Anaheim has been led by their captain Ryan Getzlaf, who has 15 goals and 34 points for 49 points, 10th in the NHL for that category. Anaheim also has stellar veteran de-fenseman such as Sheldon Souray and Francois Beauchemin, and skilled youngsters Cam Fowler and Luca Sbisa. Anaheim has two solid goaltenders, Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth. Detroit’s Henrik Zetterberg with 48 points and Pavel Datsyuk with 49 points lead the Red Wings offensively. I predict Anaheim to de-feat Detroit.

The third-seeded Vancouver Ca-nucks will take on the sixth-seeded San Jose Sharks. Vancouver has a good goaltending tandem of Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo. The Sedin twins, Daniel and Hen-rik, are still as dynamic and offen-sively explosive as ever. The Sharks have Logan Couture who scored 21 goals and 16 assists and powerful forward Joe Thornton who leads the team with 40 points and 33 assists. Defenseman Dan Boyle is superb as well. Antti Niemi has played well this season. I predict that the Sharks will upset the Canucks.

The fourth- and fifth-ranked St. Louis Blues and Los Angeles Kings will compete to finish off the pair-ings in the West. Last season, the Kings swept the Blues in the second round of the playoffs. The Kings essentially have the same team as the Stanley Cup winning team of last year. Jonathan Quick has not been as sharp in net this season as last, but backup Jonathan Bernier has played well and often for the Kings this season. Anze Kopitar was dominant again for the Kings, posting 42 points. The Blues have

shared their goaltending responsi-bilities between Brian Elliott, Ja-roslav Halak and Jake Allen. The Blues are led by Chris Stewart in points with 36 points. Defensively, the Blues have dynamic defense-men like Jay Bouwmeester, young-ster Alex Pietrangelo and Jordan Leopold. I predict a Blues victory in this series.

The first-seeded Pittsburgh Pen-guins will take on the eighth-seeded Ottawa Senators. The top ranked Penguins are offensively explosive with Sidney Crosby, who has 56 points, and Chris Kunitz, who has 52 points. Marc-Andre Fleury is also part of the reason for the Penguins’ success. Fleury has 23-8 record. For Ottawa, Kyle Turris has 27 points with 11 goals. Craig Anderson has been stellar with a 1.69 GAA and 12-9-2 record. I predict a Penguins

victory in this series.The second-seeded Montreal Ca-

nadiens will play the seventh-seeded Ottawa Senators. The reason for Montreal’s success is due to their of-fensive talent. Montreal is fourth in the league in goals-per-game. They have eight players with 10 or more goals led by Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher with 15 each. For Ottawa, Kyle Turris has 27 points with 11 goals. Craig Anderson has been stellar with a 1.69 GAA and 12-9-2 record. I predict Montreal to win the series.

The third-ranked Washington Capitals will play the sixth-ranked New York Rangers. The Capitals have been the hottest team since April. Prior to April, the Capitals were average at best and out of the playoffs. They started April with an eight game winning streak and

ended the month of April with a 13-1-1 record to close out the season. Superstar Alex Ovechkin has been superb during the Capitals’ impres-sive run scoring 14 goals. Ovechkin scored 32 goals and added 24 assists for 56 points on the season, lead-ing the league in goals and third for points. Mike Ribeiro and Nicklas Backstrom have also played excel-lently producing 49 and 48 points, respectively. The Rangers have re-lied on Henrik Lundqvist for strong goaltending and Rick Nash and Derek Stepan for scoring. Nash has 21 goals and 21 assists for 42 points. I predict that the Capitals will win this series.

The fourth- and fifth-ranked Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs will play each other. As a team, the Bruins are stellar defen-sively with a third-ranked 2.2 GAA.

Tuukka Rask has played very well this season. He has a 19-9-5 record and 1.97 GAA. Toronto’s Phil Kes-sel leads the team in all offensive categories in goals with 20, assists with 32, and points with 52. One of Toronto’s strengths is their effec-tive penalty kill; they are second in the league in penalty kill percentage with 88 percent. The Bruins will win the series.

I predict that the Washington Capitals and the Chicago Black-hawks will play each other in the Stanley Cup Finals. As the Kings proved last year, the Stanley Cup winner does not need to be the “best team on paper,” but the hot-test team at the end of the season and during the playoffs. Because of the aforementioned reasons, the Capitals will win their first ever Stanley Cup.

GABY MARTINEZDaily Titan

Junior Michael Lorenzen has yet another distinc-tion to add to his already lengthy list of honors after being named to the 2013 John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award watch list.

The list consists of 25 collegiate baseball play-ers and was announced by the College Baseball Hall of Fame in Lubbock, Texas. The actual award is presented on June 29 as part of the annual Night of Champions, which recog-nizes baseball players that excel in the game.

The John Olerud watch list

is the third that Lorenzen has been named to this season in addition to the National College Baseball Writers As-sociation Mid-Season Stop-per of the Year Watch List and the College Baseball Hall of fame 2013 Pitcher of the Year Watch List.

Lorenzen is a worthy candidate for all three lists, ,as his 13 saves top the Big West and tie him for third in the country.

He is a threat on the of-fensive end as well, as his 13-game hitting streak from March 15 to April 2 was the longest for any Titan hitter this season. His offensive

contributions during that span seemed to pay off as Cal State Fullerton was 12-1 during that stretch while Lorenzen batted .469 with three home runs, 19 RBIs, three doubles and 13 runs scored.

John Olerud was a ma-jor league first baseman who played 17 seasons from 1989-2005. His .363 batting average in 1993 was tops in the American League.

Tennis outed in quarterfinal matchThe Cal State Fuller-

ton women’s tennis team (11-14 overall, 4-5 in Big West) was unable to get past No. 4 seed Hawaii as they went down 4-1 to conclude the Big West Women’s Tennis Champi-onship quarterfinal at In-dian Wells Tennis Garden on Friday.

It took everything the Rainbow Wahine had for them to grab the all im-portant doubles point. After being defeated at the No. 1 spot, the Titans were able to rebound and get the win at the No. 3 spot. Martina Kostalova

and Rebecca Faltusz of Hawaii established the doubles point when they defeated Morgan McIn-tosh and Kalika Slevcove, 8-4, at the No. 2 spot.

The Rainbow Wahine were able to extend their lead to 2-0 as Kostalova dominated en route to a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Slevcove at the No. 3 spot. CSUF got on the board with a singles win at No. 1 as Tiffany Mai breezed to a 6-2, 6-2 win against Xenia Suworowa.

Faltusz was able to give Hawaii a 3-1 lead in the match as she defeated

Rebekah Ermac 6-2, 6-3. The match ended at the No. 5 spot when Daguio won a three-set game against Megan Sandford 6-2, 0-6, 6-4.

CSUF’s 11 wins this season were the most victories for the tennis program since the 2004 team finished 12-10.
