New Face, Same Place HANAJUN CHUNG “Change is the essential process of all existence.” - Spock, “Star Trek: The Original Series.” We’re moving forward. The Breeze staff this semester has brought in new faces, as well as welcoming back the award-winning staff that’s dedicated their time and effort in providing student news to the Chaffey Colleges. Almost immediately has work gone underway to redesign the way the news is delivered. For starters, we have a new page layout design spearheaded by managing editor Calvin Huang, an excellent starting point for the print edition’s new aesthetic. The Breeze’s website (www.thebreezeonline.com) is now run by two former editors (Val Gonzalez and Andrew Coons), featuring more content, also while interacting with students through social media platform. Students are encourage to reach out to the website for updates, as well as learn about Chaffey’s more expressive and creative side through the Baseline Magazine (www.thebaselinemagazine.com). While on the subject of online, the Breeze is also bringing back the podcast

with a batch of unique and original voices from the staff for viewers. Students can send in questions and hear a response through the podcast, possibly even lead to a guest (trust me, it’s quite fun). With the Breeze excited to branch out to other platforms and avenues, we’d like to welcome and introduce the Chaffey Review’s Michelle Dowd as the Breeze’s new advisor. With Dowd currently teaching a multimedia journalism course, it’s exciting to see the direction and possibilities the newsroom will take. Ideally, the Breeze’s name would like to outstretch to other platforms such as ITunes, YouTube, and several others. With much of major publications providing content exclusively for online streaming or distribution, students would be able to make an active presence in Chaffey’s viral news and marketing. With that we encourage students to keep reading not only our news, but other news to stay informed. We thank students, staff, and everyone else that’s been supportive of our team in past, present, and hopefully, in the future. ILLUSTRATION BY KIRK MCCONNELL

The Capitalist’s Creed EUGENE JONES There is money out there, and it is sometimes easy to obtain. The only problem is, most of us don’t know where to look. We need to first ask ourselves a couple questions. 1. How much money do we need, and who or what has that much money? 2. How do we target this who or what, and can we do what needs to be done in order to obtain that money? The first is easy; we need a lot of it, therefore need to market ourselves to ev-

eryone with any of it. It will always be easier to get a dollar from a thousand people in poverty than it is to get a thousand dollars from one billionaire. Our second question of the day is also easy—just figure out what people don’t care about, then convince them of its incredible importance. It needs to be something people don’t care about so you have little compettion, and you need to convince them of its importance so you can decide for them

how much they’re willing to pay for it. Rick Smith (DJ RAS), founded Prevail Records, a highly profitable indie label out of the Inland Empire. “I started doing album art for musicians, and flyers for clubs,” He then went on to explain how he bought recording equipment, and built a music studio out of his house. Charging artists to record, then again for mastering. After that, he would market his album art designs and produce a finished product.

They were all happy to pay what ended up being thousands of dollars for professionally printed CDs, and never once questioned his logo and phone number on the backs of their albums. There’s only two real ways to generate income. A person can either sell a product, or provide a service, everything from products to working fast food restaurants providing their services in exchange for paychecks. Understand, the ambiguity of this article is intentional. There are so many ways to make money, to describe them all would take the entirety of our semester in print. What it really boils down to is having the confidence to put yourself out there, and not dwell on the numerous failures that will undoubtedly occur. To put this into perspective, every dollar in our economy rotates in a giant, neverending circle, and there is always room in this circle for ideas that contribute to its rotation. Can we do it? Of course we can, even if we can’t. There will always be someone who can do whatever it is that needs to be done, and you can pay that someone a large portion of what was paid for the job in question, all while keeping a ‘finder’s fee’ cut for yourself. That means we can, and that’s far easier than doing the work yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re going door to door, painting address numbers on curbs for cheap, or turning chord progressions into multi-million dollar contracts, profit is profit. Look at it this way: talking a million people out of a penny is worth ten grand.

The Forecast for Music in 2014: Heavy With Hype JOSHUA ARNAO At a time of year when most are falling off the New Year’s Resolutions wagon, 2014 is already looking up for music fans. With artists like U2, Adele, Metallica, Beck, Chance the Rapper, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West & Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Outkast, Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. Dre and the Foo Fighters releasing new material, there is a lot to be excited about. Heavy hitters like the Foo Fighters spent most of 2013 on hiatus and U2 hasn’t released new material since 2009. Top that with the studio magic that

has come to be expected from Jay-Z and Kanye West. It looks like extra iTunes or Google Play gift cards this year will be desired. As promising as all this sounds, the musical landscape is at an interesting crossroad. As 2013 came to an end, the iTunes store’s digital sales were down. Add that to an overall decline of 8.4 percent on album sales, this influx of high quality acts releasing new material may be just what the music doctor ordered. Buzz among students for some bigname artists is already circulating. Alys-

sa Johnson, nursing, is eagerly anticipating Adele’s newest offering. “Her voice is unique, she sings about real things,” Johnson said. Johnson isn’t alone in falling for Adele’s heart-filled and powerful lyrics. Her last release, “21” was the first album to sell more than 3 million digital copies and her fans seem restless for more. “Watch the Throne 2,” Jay-Z and Kanye West’s sophomore collaborative effort, is also stirring up buzz. “Jay-Z and Kanye are very orchestrated, their passion is something to be admired,” Marvin Lewis, philosophy, said. Jay-Z and Kanye are musical heavy weights on their own as proven by success of their solo work. “Magna Carta, Holy Grail,” Jay-Z’s 12th studio album topped 500,000 sales its first week on the charts and “Yeezus”, Kanye’s sixth studio album sold more than 327,000

copies its first week. Not everyone is riding the Billboard love train though. Tony Cox, nursing, holds a much different view than others interviewees. “New music lacks creativity,” he said. “There is a lack of meaning with new artists.” This is an interesting sentiment. There does appear to be a gap between the bands of the past, bands like the Rolling Stones and The Smiths, whose lyrics carried more than clever rhyme schemes. With bands like Jack Smith and Brand New seemingly drawn to the powerful lure of lyrics past, maybe it is too soon to write off all future music. The Beatles sang, “All you need is love.” Maybe all the music industry needs is a year as promising as 2014 to remind audiences why they love and listen to music.

Tattoos on Campus ANDREW DAVID

Art and history are literally walking around on campus— just ask anthropology major Lindsey Brickey, sporting several of her own creative relics. On one shoulder, a feathered NativeAmerican skull; on the other, the outline of a banner piece stating, “Some birds aren’t meant to be caged, their colors are just too bright.” “Tattoo culture is the most interesting culture there is,” Brickey said. Undecided major Sergio Garcia states his tattoos act as bookmarks for memorable times in his life. After exposing a tattoo in his inner lip, he notes, “I got the word ‘misery’ and my ex-girlfriend got the word ‘bliss.’ She wanted us to get tattoos of each other’s names, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to walk around with her name on my body for the rest of my life. Probably a smart choice.” Imagine being able to bookmark your own personal history, ideals and experiences in an artistic way. That fantasy is a reality for not only Garcia, but for nursing major Angela Negrete. “This tattoo represents the three girls in my family,” said Negrete, pointing to a thigh piece of three roses in bloom. On Negrete’s hip, she shows another tattoo—a musically themed piece honing the word ‘familia.’ “I’m definitely big on family,” she said. Nursing major Nathalie Cardenas describes her “Viva Cristo Rey!” (Jesus Lives) tattoo on her upper back as a personal piece of art, reminding her of her strong values in faith. Talking to students, it’s apparent the reasoning behind getting a tattoo is solely dependent on the person. It could be a reminder of a time and place in ones life, a message to other people denoting a statement or just a piece of art one finds aesthetically appealing. No matter the reason, the culture’s prominence on campus is absolutely active and pronounced.

Sergio Garcia, undecided, shows his “Misery” tattoo in the CAA building on Jan. 20.

7. This is the End “This is the End” could’ve easily been a lazy, vanity project by the talent that normally appears in the material of Judd Apatow, but this apocolyptic comedy is a wild time that constantly escalates into the appropriately absurd. 6. Gravity If any film is a must-see in theaters, then that is “Gravity.” Alfonso Cuaron’s longawaited follow-up to “Children of Men” wasn’t exactly as narratively fullfilling as that film, but the experience audiences undertake with Sandra Bullock’s character is no less than breathtaking. 5.

Special mention must go to Barkhad Abdi as the fearful, yet sympathetic captain of the pirates. The final scene is a master-class in acting, difficult to hold in the tears.

The 10 Films of 2013 HANAJUN CHUNG

10. The Grandmasters When a director takes years to make a single movie, it draws mostly negative attention towards the film, since the filmmaking process relies heavily on time and planning. Instead, auteur Wong Kar-Wai’s “The Grandmasters,” the most compelling and visually stunning martial-arts story in years, is an Ip Man story that’s a great alternative to the Donnie Yen “Ip Man” films (which are also great). 9. The World’s End This third installment to director Edgar Wright’s “Cornetto Trilogy” is the least zany of the three, but has characters that feel more real rather than conventions. The character’s pub-run adventure is fun and comedic, but still heartfelt. 8. Frozen While this year lacked the knockout Pixar standard (sorry, “Monster’s University”), Disney reminded us that they still have what it takes to make a compelling Princess narrative in 2013, twisting the narrative in a clever way. It’s not game-changing, but a reminder that the company has still got it.

4. The Wolf of Wall Street Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio present an unapologetic look at the rise and fall of stockbroker Jordan Belfort’s pennystock operation. 3. The Act of Killing Films rarely transcend the medium, but Joshua Oppenheimer’s documentary reexamining and recreation of the Indonesian Death Squad killings informs and transforms 2. Her On paper the premise might sound ludicrous, but director Spike Jonze and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson provide a film that makes the premise of falling in love with an operating system emotionally resonant, while commenting on people’s infatuation with technology. 1. 12 Years a Slave Many will only see this film once, and reasonably so: this is not an easy film to watch. But it’s important. Director Steve McQueen and actor Chiwatel Ejiafor deliver an uncompromising, unapologetic experience of slavery in the Antebellum south. Everything about the filmmaking services the narrative, leaving a lasting impression.

The Five Outstanding Video Games of 2013 4. The Wolf Among Us This Telltale Games murder mystery comes from the same creators of the awardwinning video game series, “The Walking Dead” (which recently debuted its second installment). The series revolves around the Bigby Wolf, a detective in New York whose job is protecting fairy tail beings; Fables. The game’s tense, gritty plot is accented with multiple choice, “choose your adventure” style options, which change the plot depending on the gamer. All the episodes have not been released yet. 3. Pokemon X&Y This game—from a long-lasting series—is a huge leap forward with combining the past (Gameboy) and the present (3DS). Countless pokemon combinations and multiplayer battles aside, they implemented a unique trading system. You have a pokemon you don’t want? Trade it in for a random one that someone else put up for trade. This allows the concept of chance vs. reward, players could get a better pokemon or a worse one. The plot is deep for a game belonging to this series.

SCENE CAP FROM “THE LAST OF US.” COURTESY OF NAUGHTY DOG

JAY ADAMSON 2013 was a brilliant year in the electronic entertainment category. A myriad of quality video games came out in those 12 months, games that have gone beyond good or fun. However, these games in particular raised the bar for all the others and truly separated the men from the boys in this realm of entertainment. 5. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn This MMORPG is an eyeful. Its beautiful scenery, combined with the rapid-paced action makes this an impressive game to play. The storyline is a bit too deep and complicated at times, but manageable. One downside to this installment is the monthly payments needed to play the game. The game is only worthwhile if you can afford it and thus is lower on this list than it would be if it were free-to-play.

2. Bioshock Infinite The third installment to the “Bioshock” series brings a different twist to the franchise. They flip the concept on its head, from underwater paradise gone wrong to perfectly peaceful, albeit heavily cultist city of Columbia. The plot seems simple on the surface, but deepens as it progresses. The gameplay is fun, but grows repetitive as time goes on. The downloadable content for the game keeps players on their toes as it throws them back into the underwater city of Rapture, connecting this game to the others. 1. The Last of Us This game is a spin-off of the zombie-survival/thriller genre. The world has been taken over by a fungus that takes people over and turns them against humanity. Joel is a long-standing survivor and the main protagonist, who leaves the protection of quarantined cities to help a young girl find a cure for the fungus. The gameplay is simple and the plot is fairly straightforward; decisions don’t effect it much. That isn’t to say the plot is bad, it has just enough complexity to raise questions and keep things interesting. The most powerful part of this title, by far, is the depth of emotion that the story pulls from the player. Those who play it will understand. It’s an experience someone doesn’t forget, which is exactly why this spot takes the top spot for 2013.

Finish Your Bachelor’s Degree at Azusa Pacific University

Fabian Griffith, Khallifah Rosser, Je’da Rouzan and Breanna Steward may not be names people recognize today, but in the future, they will be. The four of them might be future track and field Olympians. Coach Blackman Ihem has coached eight athletes who have gone to the Olympics, and these four may well be his next track superstars. “I want to run a 10-flat in the 100m,” Griffith, a 20-year old sophomore, said. Griffith is not alone in setting goals in track and field. “10.02 will qualify me for the U.S. Championships, and that is where I’m trying to go.” Khallifah Rosser is another sophomore with big plans. “My personal best in the 400 hurdles is a 50.75 and for this track season I plan to run a 48.08 in the 400 hurdles.” Freshman Rouzan is another quick 18-year-old. “I want to run a 55-flat in the 400m,” Rouzan said, “I know I am capable of running a 55.00.” Sophomore Breanna Steward said, “If you want to be good you have to put in the work.” Ihem chose the four athletes as the top runners on the team because they have shown the work ethic he is looking for. “This year will be our best year ever,” Ihem said. “We don’t have a large group but we have a committed group of student athletes.”

Chaffey Hustlin’ Panthers dominate Rio Rondo’s Road Runners at home ROBERT SCHMITT No. 2-ranked Hustlin’ Panthers cruised to a 75-62 win against undersized Rio Hondo. The Chaffey Hustlin’ Panthers played host Wednesday night to the Rio Hondo Road Runners. This was CHP’s first Foothill Conference game on campus in the Sports Center and second conference game overall. Coach Jeff Klein’s team is the No. 2 ranked team in California and No. 1 team in Southern California. They improved to 19-3 overall and won their second straight game to open up their Conference schedule, 75-62. Sophomore Adom Jacko got his teammates fired up in the opening minutes with a tip-dunk off of a missed layup which was the highlight of a 13-2 lead the Hustlin’ Panthers built to start the game. Effective ball movement led to open shots and second chance points against Rio Hondo’s zone defense early on. The game had the makings of a blowout, but the scrappy play of Anthony Farmer and shooting of Anthony San Miguel kept the Road Runners in the game. Throughout the first half, the Panthers had a chance to put the game out of reach but never could. Rio Hondo played even with Chaffey the last ten minutes of the first half and stayed within striking distance, only down ten going into halftime.

Rio Hondo carried that momentum from the first half and opened the second with two quick three-pointers within the first minute. Sophomore Point Guard Ju-lian Nichols quickly answered the early Road Runner surge with a couple of baskets and defensive stops. A timeout by Coach Klein at the 13 minute mark led to a 11-2 run which included three 3-pointers, two by Devyn Sampson and one by Jeff Nibo. Those 3’s opened up driving lanes to the basket as Rio Hondo coach Richard Lowe keyed in on Sampson and Nibo. There was hardly ever a real threat posed by Rio Hondo after that point. There were, though, pleas from the coaching staff in both the first and second halves to “put the game away,” something CHP was never able to do. When the Panthers pushed the lead between twelve and fourteen, the Road Runners of Rio Hondo would cut it back down to six or eight. When asked why he thought his team was never able to break the game open Julian Nichols said, “ It was mental lapses on defense which led to easy buckets.” Chaffey had far superior athletes and a distinct height advantage to compensate for the mistakes defensively. The mismatch proved to be too overwhelming for Rio. Next home game: Feb. 5 Chaffey Hustlin Panthers vs College of the Desert @ 7PM.

Lady Panthers fall short against Rio Hondo NESHA DICKSON In an unfortunate turn of events, the Lady Panthers lost the heated battle against the Rio Hondo Roadrunners in the second game of the Foothill Conference, bringing their ranking down from No. 8 to No. 12 in the state. Panther fans had high hopes for the second round of the conference on home turf after the Lady Panthers started it off with a win in their post season opener. The game itself started off strong as with an 11-point lead early in the first half by the Lady Panthers.
