Regents to consider annual fee hikes

SAN FRANCISCO - Whether you consider tuition increases necessary in the face of de-clining state funding or view them as an undue burden on the backs of students reality boils down to one thing Student tuition is likely to continue to rise at least into the near future

A budget plan to be discussed by the UC Board of Regents Thursday includes annual tuition increases of at least 8 percent and as high as 16 percent for the next four years The plan comes on the heels of a 10 percent tuition increase approved at the boardrsquos July meeting mdash the third increase since November 2009

The purpose of the multi-year plan mdash which will only be discussed at Thursdayrsquos meeting and will not be acted upon until the boardrsquos November gathering mdash is to address the $25 billion funding gap the university says it will face over that time period

The model states that tuition would be in-creased by 8 percent annually to supplement corresponding 8 percent increases in funding the UC would also seek from the state

However if the state fails to meet those budgetary requests mdash a distinct possibil-ity considering state funding for the UC has dropped by $900 million from its 2007-08 levels and could drop a further $100 million if trigger cuts are enacted in January mdash tuition could increase by as much as 16 percent annu-ally to fill the resulting gap

In an interview Wednesday Student Re-gent Alfredo Mireles Jr said that he would vote against any fee increase but that the

statersquos consistently reduced funding forces the board to consider them

ldquoWhen the state continues to divest from us itrsquos our duty to maintain qualityrdquo Mireles said ldquoThe goal (of the plan) is to shame Sacra-mento into funding (the UC)rdquo

But instead of shaming the state govern-

ment into funding the university several speakers at Wednesdayrsquos meeting raised the concern that planning student fee increases could pave Sacramento a path around increas-ing funding for the UC

If faced with the choice between funding the university which has funds relatively available

in the form of student fees and another state service without such a liquid source of money mdash prisoners canrsquot be counted on to pay tuition for example mdash some fear the state would allow students to pick up that slack

student conduct

UC Berkeley dismisses parts of formal grievance filed by graduate student

Almost three months after a UC Berkeley graduate student filed a formal grievance over issues surrounding his campus student conduct proceedings an initial response was issued this week dismissing certain aspects of the grievance and calling for changes be-fore further action can be taken

In June graduate student Aakash Desai filed a grievance alleging discrimination on the basis of political belief and unfair appli-cations of campus policies over the course of his student conduct proceedings which stemmed from the November 2009 occupa-tion of Wheeler Hall

In the grievance Desai alleged that over the course of his conduct proceedings the campus Code of Student Conduct was inap-propriately applied He also alleged that ldquofraudulent evidencerdquo was presented at his hearing that adversely impacted his status as a student and that the ldquoordeal caused enormous stress for over a yearrdquo

In a letter responding to the grievance Sheila OrsquoRourke the appointed complaint resolution officer found that the issue of dis-crimination on the basis of political beliefs falls outside the jurisdiction of the campus Student Grievance Procedure She also de-termined that the grievance was incomplete stating in the letter that specific policies that were alleged to have been unfairly applied were not specified

Berkeley patients Group faces countersuit by Maine group

Berkeley Patients Group one of the cityrsquos oldest dis-pensaries is being sued and stands to lose more than half a million dollars in loans it provided to a medical marijuana group it helped establish in Maine

Non-profit Northeast Patients Group based in Maine filed a countersuit Aug 15 in response to a lawsuit the Berkeley group filed against it and its current executive director Rebecca DeKeuster

DeKeuster who had been with the Berkeley group since 2004 was sent in November 2009 to help es-tablish the Northeast group and receive state ap-proval for the creation of dispensaries

According to Charles Remmel of Kelly Remmel and Zimmerman the law firm representing the Berkeley group in the proceedings the countersuit alleges the group did not provide Northeast with enough startup funds

DeKeuster assumed her position as Northeastrsquos executive director in June 2010

ldquo(DeKeuster) was employed by BPG and was sent out to see if she could get this operation going be-cause some of the BPG people are from Maine and they wanted to see if this could workrdquo Remmel said

In its lawsuit Berkeley Group alleges that De-Keuster ldquoacted with the intent to prevent the ex-ecution of the contracts and loan documents and to mislead BPGrdquo and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services which granted the company permission to dispense medical marijuana

The Berkeley group is suing DeKeuster for enter-

ldquoPolitical belief is not a protected cat-egory under the Universityrsquos non-discrim-ination policy or the Student Grievance Procedurerdquo the letter reads ldquoWith regard to your allegation of lsquounfairrsquo application of University policies I find your grievance incompleterdquo

Desai has until Sept 28 to complete the grievance or it will be dismissed

According to Desairsquos adviser Thomas Frampton a UC Berkeley School of Law student and member of the Campus Rights Project the implications of the decision are ldquotruly frightening for all students on this campusrdquo

ldquoIf yoursquore a student who can prove yoursquove been targeted because of your political beliefs this decision means you have zero recourse to vindicate your rightsrdquo he said ldquoThis determination means the only rem-edy you have is a lawsuit against the uni-versityrdquo

OrsquoRourke could not be reached for com-ment as of press time

According to Christopher Patti chief cam-pus counsel he cannot comment on individ-ual cases but in general in complaints al-leging inappropriate applications of campus policies to students students are required to set forth specific violated policies if known

ldquoIt is correct that the non-discrimination policy does not prohibit discrimination based on political belief so a grievance alleg-ing such a violation might well be returned to a student during the 20-day initial review

recent dog attacks spark worry

Jim Ward looks forward to daily walks with Sparky his fox terrier-miniature pinscher mix at Ohlone Park in Northwest Berkeley But in the past year and a half since Ward has had Sparky the two have been troubled by large and aggressive dogs who share the same play space at the park

In fact Ward said he witnessed a puppy being attacked last week by a larger dog in the park When a woman intervened and tried to protect the puppy she was badly bitten and al-legedly began to bleed Ward said He added that this is just one of many at-tacks he has seen

ldquoMy dad has had to flee a number of times because of large dogs com-ing after Sparky or homeless people not controlling their larger dogsrdquo said his son Drew Ward ldquoSome large dogs approach smaller dogs as prey while others just do not know how to play with the smaller dogs appropri-

atelyrdquoConsequently Jim Ward has been

forced to abandon his daily walks and opt for far fewer visits due to safety concerns

Drew Ward said he and his father recently addressed the city Parks and Recreation Commission with the solu-tion of partitioning the dog area with a fence to separate small dogs from the larger dogs but he said their concern went unnoticed

ldquoJudging from the looks on their fac-es they could not wait for us to be fin-ished and move onrdquo Drew Ward said ldquoThey wanted to dismiss itrdquo

City spokesperson Mary Kay Clu-nies-Ross said she is aware that some residents and dog park users have dis-cussed the idea of portioning the park but that there has been no official pro-posal presented and thus no action will ensue at this time

She added that the Parks and Rec-reation Commission has jurisdiction over the park and that when fights between dogs occur dog owners can call Animal Care Services to take care of it

Councilmember Jesse Arreguin who said he spoke directly with Drew Ward said while he thinks the pro-posal is definitely something the city should consider and look into it is first and foremost the responsibility of individual dog owners to ensure that their animals are abiding by the rules of the park and not acting in an aggressive manner toward smaller dogs

ldquoThis could happen when you walk down the street with a small dog and approach a larger dogrdquo Arreguin said ldquoFundamentally it is the ownerrsquos re-sponsibilityrdquo

He added that he has addressed the issue with the city manager and park director to try to shed light on the pro-posal

The neighboring cities of Alameda and Vallejo already separate their dog parks by canine size

ldquoOne of the images of Berkeley has been of being human and progres-sive and it is disappointing that Berkeley cannot do something as small as fixing this dog park issuerdquo Drew Ward said

Marijuana Northeast grouprsquos financial agreement sparks debate

Feb 24 DeKeuster resigned from the Berkeley group the same day

ldquoThings went along for a while looking for investors and I believe in February of 2011 BPG identified some people in Maine and Becky found this other wellness group and basically said lsquoWersquore not talking with you anymore and wersquore putting them in the place you were going to be in and by the way wersquore not paying you the advance on the loans eitherrsquordquo Remmel said

According to documents submit-ted Aug 4 by Daniel Walker attorney for Northeast Patients Group to the

Maine Department of Health and Hu-man Services regarding Northeastrsquos financial agreement with the Wellness and Pain Management Connection LLC mdash a group created in Delaware on Aug 3 that includes retired NBA player Cut-tino Mobley and the Los Angeles-based Farmacy Institute for Wellness mdash the agreement would provide $16 million in funding to the Northeast group over the next eight years with an annual interest rate of 85 percent

Remmel said the Northeast group has not received funding from the LLC and has yet to open any dispensaries

However JoAnna LaForce clinical director of the Farmacy Institute for Wellness said her organization has not entered into any agreements with the group Mobley or the LLC

ldquoI know there was an article in the Portland paper saying that we were in a financing agreement with the Farmacy Institute and Cuttino Mobleyrdquo LaForce said ldquoThatrsquos not true at allrdquo

LaForce said the only connection the institute may have with Northeast group is that the institute is likely to help LLC provide clinical and operational services to the group

Books and puzzle pieces

David Liu dliudailycalorg

off the beat

scenarios with The Boxcar Children and the Hardy Boys sharing in the accomplishments of great men and women through biographies of Abraham Lincoln and Eleanor Roosevelt

Books new and used glossy and tattered filled my bookshelf like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle with the indisputable insignia of my motherrsquos love printed invisibly on each of them Each piece held a part of my heart made only for its own mold always compelling me to find more like it to fit the oth-ers mdash bigger bolder more intri-cate ones

My bookshelf changed itself as years did to me by and by it

was filled with newcomers They were Brian Jacques Jack London Jules Verne Mark Twain and Charles Dickens their names engraved on glossy hardcover spines their words indelibly etched into my heart My motherrsquos initial worries that I would not be well-read gradually disappeared I devel-oped a love for reading that exceed-ed the greatest reaches of her imag-ination I often now imagine that she often hid a smile whenever I finished a book in exuberant tri-umph and proudly accepted the fact that this love for books was a result of her immeasurable influence

I can say with confidence that the saying mentioned earlier holds a fine truth in itself My motherrsquos influence on me has been enor-mous solid and too great for words

The years passed and I have grown in age and stature the books I read have grown in sophistication and scope and inevitably my mother has grown older There is a trace of a wrinkle forming at the corner of her eyes whenever she smiles at me now perhaps just one more than the year before Yet I feel more grateful than sad I know now as my mother must have known all along that the puzzle contained deep within my heart will never see completion until I myself fill in the final pieces courage responsibility and sacrifice

The bookshelf still stands in my room back home Forever it will grow

Someone once remarked there is absolutely nothing that compares with the influence

of a mother For me it is a testa-ment to a fine truth one whose foundations transcend simple love kindness and understanding It holds a greater truth in my heart than I would like to admit at times On quiet nights when Irsquom in a par-ticularly pensive mood I like to recline in my chair and reflect on the people and places that made me who I am today and that saying often hits me with greater force than it usually does Such is the extent of this truth for me nothing more and nothing less

A mother can influence her child in so many aspects that it is impos-sible to name them all Off the top of my head perhaps I can list at least a few courage responsibility and sacrifice On a motherrsquos part all of these traits have the potential to affect her child in profound ways creating a living breathing human being under her care and guidance In giving birth a mother exemplifies the kind of courage to which all men can only hope to aspire in giving up her own pursuits for the arduous process of child-rearing she demon-strates tremendous responsibility and sacrifice I speak of course from my own personal experience and such are the ways in which my mother has created her everlasting effect on me

I was very young when my mother began buying me books In a no-

nonsense attitude she did what most responsible parents would have done and promptly got me started on reading them They were books of literally all shapes and sizes picture books and comic books round books and square books color books and storybooks and everything else in between We were a meager unstable family back then having just settled down as immigrants in this country my father frequently spending months abroad on business and yet the fact that we were not well-off surprising-ly never seemed to stop my mother from constantly filling my bookshelf with new friends On Christmas mornings the gift-wrapped set of Legos that greeted my first waking breath would always be accompa-nied by a set of brand-new unopened books

At first probably unfamiliar with the idea of reading so much on such a frequent basis I gradually devel-oped the ability to read quicker and better and slowly gained a stronger grasp of it than others my age Page by page I opened my heart to the books that I acquainted myself with For countless elementary school lunches and recesses I found myself whisked away on frivolous adventures with Curious George and Dr Seuss mired in perilous

Berkeley police arrested a suspect following a South Berkeley robbery at gunpoint Saturday night

When I entered the office space of Tiffany Shlain at

Pier 38 which has the look of a pirate ship refurbished into a tech geekrsquos dreamland she was on her iPhone Bluetooth-in-ear How apropos of her new documentary ldquoConnected An Autobiography About Love Death amp Technologyrdquo a rumination on our attachment to 21st century tools of communication

Shlain opens the film with a confession She is a die-hard technology junkie We all have the itch to check our email text messages Twitter feed mdash even when wersquore face-to-face with another human It seems today that this nagging feeling is as natural as any basic need And yes the storyteller behind ldquoConnectedrdquo is guilty of it too

Shlain is a Bay Area native and 1992 Berkeley alumna who graduated with a degree in film theory and interdisciplinary studies In 1996 a time when the burgeoning Internet was still in its zygote stage she started the Webby Awards which celebrate excellence in online content

Berkeley credentials aside Shlain is a self-made film-

maker In ldquoConnectedrdquo she cobbles together archival footage to create a jigsaw puzzle of human connected-ness During her undergradu-ate coursework Shlain would re-cut found footage often anthropology material and she re-appropriates that technique here ldquoWhen people say that I have an unusual filmmaking style it really comes from not having a production class at Calrdquo she said since those were not yet offered

Before ldquoConnectedrdquo Shlain directed five short films but this is her passion project The documentary traces the history of human interdependence from the development of primitive Paleolithic imple-ments to written language to industrialization Call it a short history of nearly everything

With this origin story as background Shlain earnestly puts her own life experiences at the fore We see her growing up graduating and later meeting her husband Ken Goldberg professor of engineering and founder of the Robotics Department at UC Berkeley We see Shlain having her first child and then enduring five miscarriages all the while coping with the death of her father Leonard Shlain an eminent surgeon and writer who had radical ideas about the brain physics

art and gender To wit Shlain is emotionally naked mdash a gutsy move for a first feature

The thesis of ldquoConnectedrdquo is simple yet it exposes a truth easily overlooked in mass culture ldquoI wanted to look at the history of our desire to connect and all these tools we created to connect economi-cally globally technologically and what is already so inherently interdependent about our worldrdquo Shlain explained Itrsquos also about ldquowhere we might be going and how we can harness the power of this for goodrdquo Yet she has examples in her film where this kind of interdependence might not be such a good thing

While these pronounce-ments might seem glib and even vague Shlainrsquos personal story of confronting tragedy head-on and harnessing it for an artistic project (the ldquogreater goodrdquo perhaps) is what gives the film its specificity She situates her own narrative of loss within some cosmic questions and in turn re-imagines the butterfly effect stripping it of its cliches and grounding it in reality

The film took four years to make ldquoTwo years in I had a film that just explored the ideas of connectedness in historyrdquo Shlain said ldquoI was watching it and my father who

was a co-writer on the film and had just been diagnosed with brain cancer and I thought Irsquom making a film about connectedness and Irsquom not exploring emotional connectionrdquo She struggled to weave her own story of such connection into the filmrsquos broader cerebral scope but ldquoConnectedrdquo deftly travels from heart to head and back again preferring punchy truths to sentimentalism

Shlain claimed that the number of written memoirs outweighs the number of memoirs on film ldquoI could name them all on one handrdquo she said ldquoTarnationrdquo (2003) and ldquo51 Birch Streetrdquo (2005) which dwell in deeply personal crises while also using found footage to construct a narrative come to mind According to her this vacuum of memoir films is ldquoironic since wersquore living in such an autobiographical age where everyone is learning how to express who they are through all these different mediumsrdquo

Indeed Shlain expresses herself in this way everyday She has 5000 followers on Twitter and 3500 Facebook friends But she makes time to unplug and reconnect with her family Once a week they do technology Shabbat ldquoHaving that one day where my mind is not able to act on every

thought has been really greatrdquoWith all our disparate

internetworks Shlain believes we have lost the overview of it all the big picture The film is an invitation to a dialogue with aims to restore this fractured ldquobigrdquo picture The big picture for Shlain is that we are all connected ldquoWe are all children of parents We all will (hopefully) be parents and we all have the same environ-mentrdquo she said And while it could be argued that the Internet no doubt a conduit for connectedness works at the expense of genuine human interaction she suggests that it actually offers new modes of empathy and understanding

ldquoYou only have to look at anti-slavery womenrsquos rights civil rights gay rights We are moving the needle forwardrdquo Shlain said with optimism ldquoThe Internet will be this collaborative tool where we will come together and tackle the worldrsquos problems When you have truly different perspectives thatrsquos when innovation happensrdquo

In a confused age of cynics and skepticism Tiffany Shlain sees the glass half-full and full of potential ldquoI ultimately believe that humans are curi-ous evolving and we want to connectrdquo

one of nine pieces assembled from objects that were confiscated at San Francisco International Airport Pred has been collecting these objects over the span of almost 10 years since only a few months after airport security was reformed in response to the 911 attack The artwork which is a collection of confiscated objects assembled into the forms of national symbols manifests the effect that 911 has had on American society in terms of trans-forming our cultural understanding of

danger and securityThe umbrella piece titled ldquoTravel-

ersrdquo is a comment on the false security created by the confiscation process To Pred airport security reminds travellers of potential danger while simultaneously instilling a sense of protection against it mdash a process which leaves them with a fabricated affirma-tion that they are being taken care of

The most impressive aspect of the exhibit is the 234-piece grid of

confiscated objects cemented into red white and blue petri dishes with clear plastic and arranged into an American flag At first glance the flag registers as a pleasant Pop Art take on patriotism With a closer look however the objects within the petri dishes tell a more provocative narrative Tiny scissors antique pocket knives novelty lighters an eyeglass screw driver nuts and bolts a golf cue a pocket wrench The array of objects goes on and on Pred calls it

ldquoFear Culturerdquo She is not only attempting to underline our culturersquos basis on fear but to illustrate how we have physically manifested that fear in manageable objects as an attempt to gain control of our anxieties

Pred also wants to highlight that each object possesses its own historical weight and can be viewed as a time capsule made up of the ldquocultural residuerdquo resulting from 911 ldquoThe fine

However in the scheme of things these transgressions are distracting but forgivable leaving a mark of purposeful beauty Carefully planned images reinforce symbols of enlighten-ment as Hou embarks on his quest to be spiritually sound One of the opening shots shows a paper-thin flower that rests in the furled waxen hand of a dead child The dull gray palette in which the pile-up of bodies becomes indistinguishable from the ashen earth heightens the tragedy of the boyrsquos fate his end wrought by war

As with courting a new relationship or selecting your first prostitute watching a

new television show can be a delicate and tricky business Therersquos hopefully less chance of contracting the clap (unless yoursquore watching ldquoJersey Shorerdquo) but the risk remains the same Television is one duplicitous temptress and come every September shersquos on the prowl

Irsquom talking about pilot season people so get excited There are new shows With exclamation marks and everything No really itrsquos pretty exciting Itrsquos just like Christmas where every new series is a present Only these presents arenrsquot as great as they seem Theyrsquore from your grandparents which means 90 percent will be complete crap 10 percent will have potential and more than anything you should just be drunk while you open them to numb the disappointment

You see fall TV premieres are a double-edged sword (literally in the case of this springrsquos ldquoGame of Thronesrdquo) Every autumn networks shell out their precious premises from the outrageous to the mundane in hopes of snaring those coveted virginal viewers HBO is renovating a subway car 1920s style in anticipation of the ldquoBoardwalk Empirerdquo premiere (awesome) while FOX is previewing their quirky Zooey Deschanel vehicle ldquoNew Girlrdquo for free on iTunes (less awesome) Life couldnrsquot get better Finally my distractions have arrived just as my assignments have begun But amidst all this rousing promotional bliss the inevitability of dissatisfaction still lingers

Pilot Season

Jessica Pena jpenadailycalorg

TV LANDOnly one of those shows

mentioned will probably be successful and Irsquom guessing itrsquos not the one where a blue-eyed bomb-shell wears overalls to seem sexy Of course ldquoBoardwalk Empirerdquo already has its audience swinging mdash live wires who enjoy watching Steve Buscemi verbally castrate physically fit men But whatrsquos left for those new shows those vulnerable shows who have yet to find a home in someonersquos heart

I watched the pilot of ldquoNew Girlrdquo It was well charming Perhaps it was charming in the way an elderly woman describes her asbestos-ridden abode (hardly charming mostly uncomfortable) but it was nonetheless endearing Deschanel plays Jess a girl who sings her own theme songs thinks itrsquos cute and continues to woo us (if it can be called ldquowooingrdquo) with an off-beat ldquoI wear glassesrdquo allure that makes the dialogue of ldquoJunordquo seem understat-ed Itrsquos desperate is what Irsquom trying to say ldquoNew Girlrdquo like Deschanelrsquos Jess and like so many pilots during this season is almost pathetic in its unabashed attempt to worm its way into our liking And this is why itrsquoll probably fail

Who knows If given the chance maybe ldquoNew Girlrdquo could develop into a half-hour sitcom that develops its characters instead of pigeonholing them Maybe itrsquoll go the way of ldquoLostrdquo and defy all expectations dabble in time travel and transform Deschanel into a smoke monster Sadly for now it is what it is mdash a show with a bit about jeggings Ugh But such is television Unlike books and films TV shows are a medium almost entirely judged on first impressions and if I donrsquot like the first taste itrsquos very unlikely Irsquoll go back for seconds

Odds are with the dozens of ldquofreshrdquo (The CW really loves this word for some reason) series this fall Irsquoll find maybe one I like Odds are that show will be AMCrsquos ldquoHell on Wheelsrdquo because like everyone I love the drama of the Transconti-nental Railroad Meanwhile those dozens of other shows will cease to exist floundering in some pilot purgatory filled with lost hopes shelved dreams and Jerry Seinfeld For such an ostensibly optimistic time fall premieres are laced with the cynicism of an increasingly picky TV audience Irsquom not saying everyone should watch ldquoNew Girlrdquo or whatever laughtrack-laden snoozefest CBS has planned but you should open your heart to the Television temptress Be Richard Gere in ldquoPretty Womanrdquo Give the hooker a chance

People from all over the world had possessions of varying degrees of sentimentality taken from them in response to this single event Pred calls attention to the emotionally defeating process of having something confiscated through a collection of video interviews Visitors can contribute their own narratives via an iPad at the exhibit

Although Pred has displayed works under the same theme before she wanted to open up the exhibit once more for the tenth anniversary of 911 ldquoI think the anniversary is a way to process and understand the experience and in some ways to heal We are mourning over in a sense the death of safety in the United Statesrdquo she said in a phone interview

By ascribing the national grieving of 911 to the process of confiscation and materializing that through commonplace objects Pred poignantly urges viewers to reflect on how the

ZION Hella Fresh Fest unites disparate hip-hop subgenres

veteran duo of MC Zumbi and DJ AmpLive better known together as Zion I With their bombastic beats and slick rhymes Zion I have been a powerful prominent act in the Bayrsquos hip-hop scene for some time now In a recent interview Zumbi spoke about the Hella Fresh Fest hip-hop trends and how the genre can create a connection that brings people together

Originally known as the Paid in Full Festival the goal of the Hella Fresh Fest is to unify all styles of hip-hop ldquoWe started the Hella Fresh Fest as a way to bridge the gap we thought existed between street-oriented and traditional hip-hop in the Bay Areardquo said Zumbi ldquoRight now that gap is much thinner The game has changed dramatically from where it was five years ago and lots of lines have been blurred between categories and styles Itrsquos not the mystique of being untouchable you have to be more down-to-earth nowrdquo

The diversity of the festival is far from an understatement While Zion I represents the more independent uplifting aspect of hip-hop the Jacka and Husalah will be there to show off the realm of gritty street rap Los Rakas explore a hybrid of different genres whereas The Honor Roll Crew will please both electro enthusiasts and rap fans alike Rounding off with The Jealous Guys and DJ Amen the festival appears to back Zumbirsquos words promoting a wide spectrum of hip-hop artists

While festivals such as Hella Fresh showcase the varied areas of hip-hop

event has affected them personally as well as society as a whole

Pred is also interested in the way that reactions to the exhibit have changed over time While shortly after 911 the shocked public had no issues with the security she has found that people have gradually become increasingly skeptical of its necessity and effectiveness ldquoBack then if I had been vocal on a larger scale it would have been considered extremely unpatrioticrdquo she said Now people are more receptive to her message

ldquoConfiscatedrdquo will be showing at The Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco until October 8th In addition Michele Pred will doing an artist talk this Saturday in the gallery at 4 pm When asked what she thinks the reaction would be if she were to show her work again in another decade Pred answered that she believes in 10 years airports will no longer be confiscating items from passengers Whether another 10 years time is enough to rebuild the foundation of fear slipped under American society remains to be seen

many artists are approaching a more DIY attitude towards marketing With the Internet it can be fairly easy to go from unknown rhyme-spitter to viral rap sensation provided you have the balls to put yourself out there Using multimedia properly can be an amazing marketing tool one that Zumbi encourages all artists to take advantage of if they want to get their name out

At the same time Zumbi expressed his distaste for artists who rely solely on the same tired mantras of sex money and drugs that cause people to tune out hip-hop ldquoItrsquos too easy and clicherdquo remarked the MC ldquoYeah everybody wants to have a lot of money good sex and weed Thatrsquos cool for one song but if your whole record is about how yoursquore gonna pull my girl have sex with her after the show and then smoke her out and leave there isnrsquot any depth thererdquo

It can be hard to find rappers who donrsquot adopt this thug-life style However there are plenty of artists such as Atmosphere and Immortal Technique that still create deep verses and meaningful provocative lines while staying within a particular area of hip-hop Zumbi said that he tries to emulate a spiritually upbeat mentality throughout his songs ldquoA lot of my rhymes are things that really hap-pened in my life or little segments that I take and blow up to make a caricaturerdquo Zumbi recalled ldquoSome-times itrsquos exactly what happened though From there itrsquos just a feeling that I haverdquo

Zumbi also stated how having a

wide musical spectrum isnrsquot a bad thing either He said that he listens to artists from The Black Keys to MF DOOM to become aware of different things that musicians are trying out thereby broadening his own style This belief that the greater the diversity of music you listen to leads to evolving as an artist is one that promotes alliances between artists of different genres something Zumbi hopes more artists will undertake

A big part in gaining recognition is having a solid fanbase as well Zumbi spoke about how the independent acts can have a more dedicated following than major label artists ldquoTherersquos guys like Rebelution who I feel are selling more tickets than some major label artistsrdquo said Zumbi ldquoThey arenrsquot on the radio which tells me itrsquos more about a sincere connection with the fans and interacting with themrdquo

The views and mindsets of Zumbi are ones that hip-hop as a whole is steadily progressing towards While tomorrowrsquos Hella Fresh Fest will sure to bring down the house of the Fillmore with ultrasonic beats the real message is clear No matter their style all artists are unified in some way through the universal energy created by music and art

ldquoItrsquos about unity and working together whether yoursquore preforming in the crowd or not causing drama Wersquore trying to inspire people to col-lectively work together and come together We all do different stuff but wersquore really all the samerdquo

Regents intend to study chancellor compensation

As the university struggles with tough eco-nomic times the UC Board of Regents met Wednesday to discuss studying recruitment of top administrators at the same time as lower-paid workers asserted that their current wages put them in poverty

The board detailed its intention to pursue a systemwide study of chancellor compensation in comparison to potentially more lucrative of-fers from comparable institutions But earlier in the meeting UC employees voiced concerns over their own pay while the board considered the potential increases for chancellors in the future

ldquoThe University of California is one of the most prestigious institutions in the world yet its employees rely on public funds to make ends meetrdquo said Senator Leland Yee D-San Francisco at the meeting echoing the con-cerns of more than a dozen UC employees who spoke

After UC President Mark Yudof and board Chair Sherry Lansing acknowledged the em-ployeesrsquo concerns discussion turned to achiev-ing a better understanding of compensation

With ease comparable to that of uploading a Facebook photo social media users can now con-tribute to the conservation of endangered reptile and amphibian species worldwide

UC Berkeley and Stanford University research-ers last week helped launch the Global Reptile BioBlitz a social networking site where anyone around the world can upload photos of reptiles for experts to identify and study The reptile site rides the success of its sister project Global Amphibian BioBlitz which allows for amphibian tracking

Users have already uploaded photos of 361 rep-tile species to iNaturalistorg the Bay Area social network for naturalists that hosts the BioBlitz projects The amphibian version has catalogued 721 species since its May 25 launch Of these more than 150 species mdash found in 55 far-flung countries mdash are classified as threatened

The depth of the project came as a surprise for the coordinators said Scott Loarie co-director of iNaturalistorg and a researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science At the start of the amphib-ian BioBlitz Loarie had expected the submissions to be mostly common amphibians

Since then however users of the site have ldquochecked inrdquo many rare and threatened species he said Some amphibian enthusiasts have found species thought to be extinct such as the Costa Rican golden toad which had not been seen in more than 20 years

campus and his complaint in which he alleged that he had not received a promotion due to his race The jury found that the campusrsquos treatment of Senigar was in accordance with Cali-fornia law and university policy

ldquoI think that it underscores what we believe our reputation is mdash that we are a fair and equitable employer and take our commitment to diver-sity seriouslyrdquo said UCSF spokes-

person Amy Pyle of the ruling ldquoHe was afforded along with other ap-plicants the correct opportunity to applyrdquo

Senigarrsquos attorney Pamela Price said in an email that she was ldquodevas-tated and disappointed and grieved by the injustice of it allrdquo

Senigar a black man filed an amended complaint Aug 16 mdash more than two years after he filed his ini-

tial complaint Before the case went to trial the complaint was amended because several charges Senigar had brought were dismissed by the court according to the statement from UCSF

The claims thrown out mdash all relating to racial discrimination mdash included al-legations of wage discrimination

Senigar had been employed in an information technology position

in the campus Network Operations Center during the period the lawsuit centers on according to the UCSF statement

Pyle said that the position Senigar had applied for was ultimately elimi-nated for budgetary reasons and thus was never filled

Price said that itrsquos ldquotoo soon to tellrdquo what Senigar will do regarding his grievances following this ruling

Annie Sciacca discusses an opportunity to bridge the gap between citizensrsquo science and the professional scientific communitypractices for campus chancellors relative to

pay for similar positions at comparable insti-tutions

ldquoWe are here to protect the peoplersquos money so we ought to take a lookrdquo said Regent George Kieffer ldquoLetrsquos see what we have to do to com-pete (with other universities) but to also be frugalrdquo

Though a similar study of executive sala-ries was conducted in 2008 Kieffer said that the board is ldquoworking with old informationrdquo Several regents stated that the roles and re-sponsibilities of chancellors have changed over time which is not reflected in the most recent study

Although Kieffer and systemwide Academ-ic Senate Chair Robert Anderson said that a salary increase was not necessary to retain current chancellors both expressed concerns that current levels of executive compensation may hinder future recruitment efforts mdash a timely topic considering recent departures

UC San Diego Chancellor Marye Anne Fox has announced her intention to step down at the close of the academic year just months after UC Merced Chancellor Sung-Mo ldquoSteverdquo Kang stepped down last June

According to the reportrsquos timeline it should be finalized in 2012 and discussed in an open session at a future UC Board of Regents meet-ing

ldquoMany cases donrsquot even have museum recordsrdquo Loarie said

But with so many rare species being logged project coordinators have had to balance the free-dom of the Internet with the responsibility of han-dling discoveries of rare species in a proper scien-tific manner

One concern the researchers have for the rep-tile BioBlitz stems from what Loarie described as a ldquofine line between the conservation community and the dubious collector communityrdquo This issue could be more important for the reptile project be-cause of greater public interest in the worldrsquos ap-proximately 9500 reptile species he said

The projectrsquos coordinators have tried to solve this problem by automatically obscuring the exact location of endangered amphibians and reptiles

With the exchange between the public and the scientific community there is an amazing amount of potential for collaboration according to Vance Vredenburg assistant professor of biology at San Francisco State University and co-founder of Am-phibiaWeb

ldquoPeople are uncovering salamanders that havenrsquot been seen since 1960 in Mexicordquo Vredenburg said ldquoThere are so many more eyes on the ground than I could ever have time for People are going to discover new things all over the worldrdquo

Mixed-use building to be erected in vacant lot on Telegraph Avenue

A vacant lot on the corner of Telegraph and Ashby avenues that was formerly occupied by a gas station will become a five-story mixed-use build-ing

The lot mdash which has been vacant since 2008 when the gas station was demolished mdash is located at 3001 Tele-graph Ave across from Whole Foods Market and will hold approximately 4000 square feet of retail space under 38 apartment units

The city of Berkeleyrsquos Zoning Adjust-ment Board approved the plan in 2009 mdash after underground service tanks were removed from the lot mdash and production is scheduled to finish in approximately 14 months according to Avi Nevo the project developer and general contrac-tor

Nevo who bought the land about three years ago said he envisions that this project will transform the corner

Nevo said he decided to buy the va-cant lot because he feels that the ldquomar-ket is still very good for rental in Berke-leyrdquo and that the ldquodemand (for housing in that area) is still thererdquo

The project will provide 42 parking spaces about 9 percent less than the 46 spots required by the cityrsquos zoning ordi-nance This issue has raised criticism from residents according to planning documents from the boardrsquos April 2009 meeting

In response to concern over the parking spaces Nevo said ldquo42 parking (spaces) are sufficient for the tenants of the buildingrdquo

Following a school year marked by several firearm incidents Berke-ley High School has begun report-ing all student crimes regardless of severity to the Berkeley Police Department

This measure comes in response to parents and community mem-bers who expressed concerns af-ter there were five occurrences of students carrying a firearm in or around the high school in the early months of this year

Though the high school has al-ways reported certain crimes to the police as required by law mdash such as sexual assault or drug possession mdash this new policy will encompass crimes such as theft or robbery which may not fit the bylines ne-cessitated by law The police will handle each reported incident case by case depending on the severity of the crime

Susan Craig director of student services for Berkeley Unified School District said this measure is not meant to be punitive but should be seen as a support measure for the kids

ldquoWersquore not interested in being vigilantes or criminalizing stu-dentsrdquo Craig said ldquoWersquore hoping that by intervening at the level of say a robbery we can provide mentoring and some support to change behaviorsrdquo

Firearm incidents at Berkeley High spur new safety measure

Weiru Fang explains why Berkeley High School must report all crimes to police

Study finds hummingbirdsrsquo tail feathers are essential to mating

a unique sound that can range from continuous buzzing to a series of short high-pitched tones depending on the shape and type of bird

UC Berkeley graduate Christopher Clark and Damian Elias assistant pro-fessor of environmental science policy and management at UC Berkeley con-ducted the research by catching male Annarsquos Hummingbirds and observing the sounds they made when respond-ing to females

According to the study roughly

97 percent of the birds made sounds When their tail feathers were plucked however not a single bird could pro-duce the sound leading the research-ers to conclude that the tails mdash and not the vocal organs mdash were the source of the mating calls

The birdsrsquo sounds were measured by a scanning Doppler vibrometer an in-strument that measures the motion of a surface in this case the hummingbirdsrsquo feathers with reflective laser beams to determine the surfacersquos velocity

Clark said the results of the study could prove useful to engineers for the design of surveillance aircraft

ldquoEngineers are trying to make small robots the size of a humming-

bird (that can) fly like a humming-bird for the purposes of stealthrdquo he said ldquoIt could be that figuring out how hummingbirds make sounds during flight will help engineers in trying to fly silentlyrdquo

Elias co-author of the study and an expert in animal communication said the results provided insight into possible technological uses of animal behavior

ldquoA lot of people are trying to develop flying objects with light and bendable wings and one of the things you have to take into account is how these things could potentially vibrate as theyrsquore doing diving and air maneuversrdquo he said ldquoWersquore sort of looking at this in

However stealth airplanes were not the original focus of the study Clark said he first became interested in hum-mingbird communication as a gradu-ate student of integrative biology at UC Berkeley while doing experiments in which he flew hummingbirds in a wind tunnel

ldquoScience is the pursuit of knowledge (of) the natural world around usrdquo he said ldquoItrsquos possible this will be a tool to better understand a bird species and in a few specific cases to get a better idea of what natural resources there are on the planetrdquo

The city also requires that the build-ing provide space for community mem-bers a requirement that residents fear could be neglected in the plans

Nevo said community space will be provided on the rooftop where he plans to include a garden

Steven Buckley secretary for the zoning board said reductions in park-ing are ldquotypicalrdquo for mixed-use buildings because it is assumed that residents will use other means of transportation

ldquoAvi has done a variety of other projects in Berkeley and has built sev-eral buildings Downtownrdquo said Coun-cilmember Kriss Worthington whose district includes the lot ldquoThis particular intersection is a complicated intersec-tion because the traffic on Ashby backs up all the way the street is a night-

mare trafficwiserdquoAdditionally six of the 38 units would

be affordable for low-income families according to the projectrsquos planning and development documents

This comes in light of the City Councilrsquos decision over the summer to impose a yet-to-be-determined af-fordable housing mitigation fee on housing and retail developers of any-where between $20000 and $34000 per unit if the developers choose not to build affordable housing units in their complexes

ldquoWe have already done a nexus study on the ordinance that allows us to have an affordable housing feerdquo Worthington said

A workshop will be held on Oct 11 to discuss the fee Worthington said

10 sports Thursday September 15 2011The Daily Californian

I admit it mdash I was wrongI was convinced that the Cal

volleyball team was going to lose to Stanford on Tuesday night

The coachesrsquo poll may have indi-cated otherwise with Cal sitting atop the country and Stanford just a notch below at No 2

That fact alone was enough to make me think that the Bears would fall Cal athletic teams donrsquot have the best track record of showing up when theyrsquore projected to be the favorites

Stanford was soundly battle test-ed entering the match on the heels of beating defending national cham-pion Penn State as well as then-No 7 Florida Meanwhile Cal had play-ing all unranked squads in the pre-season and not always completely steamrolling them

But really my skepticism was rooted in the discrepancy I saw in the Bearsrsquo performance during last yearrsquos run to the championship match and thus far this season

I was along for the ride as the vol-leyball beat writer last year even traveling to Seattle for the regional semifinals and final With every match with every touch I became a bigger believer as much as that went against my nature as a Bay Area sports fan Time and time again I watched the Bears just refuse to lose

I was convinced that the teamrsquos never say die attitude was due pre-dominantly to its fearless leader Carli Lloyd

The reigning National Player of the Year is one of the most intense and dynamic athletes Irsquove ever seen She has incredibly high energy all the time and a very vocal presence on a team and she could do it all ndash

serve pass block and of course setAnd given her position as the set-

ter running the offense she was involved in every play making that energy even more contagious

Sure even under Lloydrsquos direction the team would have its lulls and play down to its competition at times but that only came back to bite them once in an embarrassing loss to Arizona State In seemingly every other instance they were able to regroup and dominate (two losses to elite USC being the other exceptions)

Calrsquos very high level of energy and focus at times seemed to matter more than the amount of experience or talent on its side of the net

This year with a very mild-man-nered player in Elly Barrett stepping into Lloydrsquos role I thought the team would lack the kind of intense ener-gy that Lloydrsquos squad demonstrated pretty consistently and really ratch-eted up during big moments

Until Tuesday night that intuition had been mostly correct The chatter on the court had declined While they never played terribly Cal didnrsquot look like the insatiable team of last year that was firing on all cylinders

True it was the preseason and they shouldnrsquot have peaked that early But even compared to the level of play during this time last year the 2011 squad didnrsquot seem to quite measure up at least in my memory of it

But during Tuesdayrsquos absolute domination of Stanford I wasnrsquot thinking about the void Lloyd left The Bears were doing what they had done last season against Stanford at Haas Pavilion mdash losing the first set and coming back to completely overpower the Cardinal

The scores were close and Stanford even led for long stretches of time but it never felt like Cal was losing John Dunningrsquos club never really got any swing in momentum

The Bears just never gave up never said die Just the way Lloyd did during her highly acclaimed 2010 season

Perhaps itrsquos Lloydrsquos legacy But maybe it was never just her leading the way Maybe her teammates played a bigger role in building that culture than I realized

With that same energy even more firepower and a deeper bench just maybe the Bears can take one more step and finally topple Penn State

And maybe I wonrsquot be wrong

Resounding win proves Bears still have high energy

of last yearrsquos historic run

After dropping first frame Cal pummels Stanford in four sets

By Connor Byrne | Staffcbyrnedailycalorg

When Tarah Murreyrsquos errant dig gave Stanford a 25-23 win in the open-ing frame of Tuesdayrsquos Big Spike match it was the first time the No 1 Cal vol-leyball team had dropped a set in 2011

The squad then made sure it would also be the last thus far

The Bears defeated No 2 Stanford 3-1 (23-25 25-16 25-16 25-21) at Haas Pavilion on Tuesday night to open Pac-12 play and back up their top ranking

In the first set Cal (11-0 1-0 in the Pac-12) came out of the gate quickly to grab an early 7-4 lead Stanford rallied and took the lead briefly before an emphatic kill by Shannon Hawari which ricocheted into the second level of the stands knotted things up at 14 The set stayed close with a three-point spread at most until the Cardinal (6-1 0-1) closed with two unanswered

ldquoThat set was so close take away a few of our mistakes and we figured wersquore right back in itrdquo Cal coach Rich Feller said ldquoIt was just a matter of us settling down a little bitrdquo

Cal then would take complete con-trol of the match dominating the next three sets Murrey led the way for the Bears tallying 15 kills and 12 digs The lone senior however only hit 157 for the match

ldquoI can be pretty hard on myselfrdquo she said ldquoI didnrsquot hit exactly the high per-centage that I wanted but I know that Irsquom going to improve and Irsquom a confi-dent player and I will get betterrdquo

Murreyrsquos average looked fantastic to what the players on the other side of the net were posting As a team the Cardinal hit just 103 Outside hitter Rachel Williams did manage 15 kills but hit for an abysmal 054 average mdash including 12 hitting errors

The Bears found an answer for Stanford in set two opening with a 6-1 run Cal turned up the defense grabbing a 21-13 lead while forcing Stanfordrsquos hitting average to dip

below 100 Murrey finished things off by slamming a crosscourt kill to knot things up at one set a piece

ldquoWe never really compare ourselves to other teams so I guess we just found out that wersquore better than them tonightrdquo middle hitter Kat Brown said ldquoWe know that wersquore capable of beating a lot of teams but we just try to focus on playing Cal volleyballrdquo

Cal kept the foot on the pedal in the third set holding the Cardinal to an inconceivable hitting average of -025 largely due to 10 errors For the second straight frame Murrey finished things off by tallying a kill

The Bears put their final touches in the fourth and final set coming back from a deficit to take their first lead with the score at 20-19 After Stanford pulled within 23-21

Adrienne Gehan and Murrey both powered kills through Cardinal blocks to secure the win for Cal

ldquoItrsquos an awesome feeling but I told the team lsquowersquore going to celebrate for no more than an hourrsquordquo Murrey said ldquoWe were able to see our weaknesses and what we need to improve onrdquo

Though Murrey took the vast major-ity of the attack attempts for the Bears with 51 she led a very balanced Cal offense that managed to hit 264 against one of the top blocking teams in the nation Gehan and Hawari both man-aged double digit kills while Correy Johnson who returned after sitting out Saturday night against Georgetown with a sore hip tallied eight

ldquoWe have a lot of people that can contributerdquo Murrey said ldquoWe have a lot of fire powerrdquo

For Cal this win finally legitimizes its status as the No 1 team in the country as the squad pick up its first victory over a ranked opponent

ldquoCal is here and wersquore going to work and keep getting betterrdquo Murrey said

Brothers in Arms

On June 18 2010 running back Marshawn Lynch left early from Buffalo Bills Optional Team

Activites an action that raised more than a couple eyebrows

This coming about a year after the Oakland native received a misdemeanor weapons charge that resulted in a three-game suspension during the 2009 NFL season critics were quick to assume that this was just another return to Lynchrsquos apparent obstinate and selfish ways

For this reason those same critics were surprised to find that Lynch actually had left to attend a wedding to be a grooms-man for one of his closest friends mdash Seattle Seahawks running back Justin Forsett

ldquoThey had

instant love for each otherrdquo says Ron

Gould the Cal football teamrsquos running backs

coach ldquoThose guys were very supportive of each

like it was a family They were brothersrdquo

The bond between Lynch and Forsett was first kindled

in 2004 when the two run-ning backs came to Berkeley

and discovered that they were freshman roommates

Lynch had been a highly touted recruit considered by most recruit-

ing services as the No 2 running back in the nation Boasting a lethal com-bination of speed and strength Lynch earned himself the nickname of ldquoHe-Manrdquo

ldquoHe was one of the most naturally strong guys Irsquove ever been aroundrdquo Gould says ldquoHe is a such a pure force that when he runs with the ball he will hurt yourdquo

For Forsett it was a different story Despite a stellar career at Grace Preparatory Academy in Arlington Texas mdash during which he amassed over 5000 yards rushing and 63 touchdowns over his last two years mdash he was overlooked by most major programs mostly due to his diminutive 5-foot-8 frame Notre Dame pulled his scholarship offer at the last minute explaining that it was looking for a taller back as former running backs coach Buzz Preston would later put it

Both backs immediately found a home at Cal and used the otherrsquos running style as an example of how to improve upon

their own weaknessesldquoBecause Justin was a smaller back

I would tell him to run like hersquos 215 poundsrdquo Gould says ldquoBut the big-

ger backs like Marshawn you want them to be able to move

and change directions like a lit-tle guy They were both able

to do thatrdquoIn addition to their con-

trasting running styles the pair also sported two con-

trasting if not complement-ing personalities

ldquoMarshawn is a little more shy and reserved but you get to know Justinrdquo

Gould says ldquoHersquos more of a jokester and a little more outspoken Hersquos a great lead-er and people respond to him in such a wayrdquo

For Forsett and Lynch their relationship was

more than just two people competing and learning from one another

ldquoWe created a bond on and off the fieldrdquo Forsett says ldquoWe fed off each otherrdquo

As a sophomore Lynch began to estab-lish himself as one of the premiere backs in the country taking over the starting job for the Bears and amassing 1246 yards on the ground and 10 touchdowns

But Lynch was more concerned about making sure the back that spelled him got plenty of reps

ldquoMarshawn was never one of those guys who felt like he was the manrdquo Gould says ldquoHe would always want to get Justin in there even early on in his careerrdquo

Despite only starting three games Forsett also started to make a name for himself Behind Lynch he tallied 999 yards and six touchdowns and his 76 yards per rush was good enough for sec-ond in the country

Together the two comprised one of the most dominating one-two punches in col-lege football

ldquoHe (Lynch) has a little bit of every-thing mdash hersquos strong hersquos fast hersquos power-fulrdquo Forsett says ldquoI bring a little quick-ness to the game mdash I like to make people miss and play with high energy It defi-nitely creates a nice combordquo

Following the 2006 season Lynch the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-American declared for the NFL draft and was selected with the 12th overall pick by Buffalo Forsett would do the same a year later going in the seventh round to Seattle

ldquoThose guys want to be great at what they dordquo Gould says ldquoI knew that they would both have a chance to play in the NFL In big games they rise up Theyrsquore both extremely coachable which is what makes them so specialrdquo

The two backs left their names all over the Cal record books finishing second (Lynch 3230 yards) and third (Forsett 3220 yards) on the all-time rushing list

Lynchrsquos 17 career 100-yard rushing games is a school record and Forsettrsquos 15 ranks second

Despite departing to play on opposite sides of the country the

two remained as close as two actual brothers would be

And by way of a trade in the middle of the 2010 NFL season the brothers were reunited but this time in Seattle

ldquoWe never even thought that we would have a chance to play together in the NFLrdquo Forsett says ldquoI knew the type of player he was and the asset that he could be to our team I was excited to bring what we had at Cal hererdquo

The trade came at a time when Forsett was just starting to come into his own as an NFL starter And even though Lynch surpassed Forsett on the depth chart and halted his chance to cement himself as a legitimate starter Forsett could not have been happier to be playing with his old roommate

ldquoHe was so excited to have Marshawn coming to Seattlerdquo Gould says ldquoThose guys donrsquot care about stats All they care about is winningrdquo

The 2011 season marks the first time since 2006 that the two backs will play together for a full season And the pair will undoubtedly be look-ing to rekindle the same magic they shared back in Berkeley

ldquoWe set off each other in the backfield and we want each other to succeedrdquo Forsett says ldquoWe creat-ed a nice combo both at Cal and here todayrdquo

By Connor Byrne| Staffcbyrnedailycalorg

ldquoMaybe this is the first time that if coaches want to rank us number one that wersquore going to take that and be happy with itrdquo

mdash Coach Rich Feller after Cal defeated Stanford

Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett were as close as brothers during their time at Cal

Now they have been reunited in the NFL
