UC Berkeley student dies in fatal fall during sleep

UC Berkeley undergraduate Christopher Zahuta known for his heart and humor died in Haiti on July 17 after falling from a roof while sleeping three days prior He was 20

Zahuta had been building schools with the nonprofit orga-nization All Hands International in Leo-gane Haiti for over a month before he fell 15 feet from the roof upon which he was sleeping

The roof rsquos perimeter was bordered by a snow fence that did not break his fall Since the accident a solid fence has been raised around the encampment

ldquoThe thing thatrsquos great to me is that he never felt any pain he never felt any fear He was asleep and then he woke in the hands of God mdash I canrsquot think of a better way for my baby to dierdquo said his mother Christie Jeffers ldquoI am only sorry that hersquos not here with merdquo

As an organ donor Zahuta continues to help others even after death mdash his heart now resides within a 55-year-old man in Virginia and his liver in a 50-year-old man in Florida

ldquoItrsquos nice to know that his heart is still beating somewhere even nowrdquo said Kris-tina Grasser his stepbrotherrsquos girlfriend ldquoI keep calling him a kid like hersquos young mdash and he was young The thing Irsquoll miss most is seeing the potential he hadrdquo

Prior to traveling to Haiti Zahuta de-cided he wanted to change lives through disaster relief work changing his major from business and economics to sociology so he could focus more on relationships between people Jeffers said

ldquoDetermination and perseverance mdash those were some of his most paramount traitsrdquo said Saif Umemoto a close friend from campus

He raised the $4000 he needed for the trip through donations from family and friends

ldquoWhen it comes to Chris he always tried to put other people before himrdquo said former roommate Salvador Garcia ldquoI know while he was (in Haiti) he was ec-staticrdquo

From Haiti Zahuta emailed his mother daily updating her on events in his life from the quotidian routine of laborious construction in high heat meal after meal of rice and beans and post-work beers to the adventurous escapades mdash contracting tapeworm watching a bullfight and tast-ing Klerin a potent moonshine liquor

His family and friends attended a fu-neral service in Leogane where a school has been dedicated to him and some of his ashes were scattered

ldquoHe liked to have a good time here and there but he had light in himrdquo Garcia said ldquoYou could just tell there was some-thing special about himrdquo

After the memorial service in Haiti his older brother Matthew has remained in Leogane where he will volunteer with All Hands for two months Zahutarsquos child-hood friend Francisco Martinez will join him there

ldquoGoing out to Haiti is going to help a little with the painrdquo Martinez said ldquoThe hardest part is missing his companion-ship missing his answersrdquo

Council votes to foreclose on vacant lot

Berkeley City Council voted eight to zero in a closed session Tuesday night to initiate a nearly $641000 foreclosure on a Southside lot that has been vacant for more than 20 years

After years of hearing complaints about rats noise and trash accumulating in and around the lot mdash located at 2501 Haste St on the cor-ner of Telegraph Avenue mdash the council held a special meeting to decide whether to seek liti-gation against the owner of the lot local busi-ness owner Ken Sarachan

Sarachan who owns several Telegraph busi-nesses mdash including Rasputin Music and the building across the street that once housed Codyrsquos Books mdash addressed the council during the public comment period prior to the closed session He also submitted a personal letter ad-dressed to Mayor Tom Bates voicing his frus-tration with the city

ldquoIf I have to defend myself in court it will be a great effortrdquo Sarachan said at the meeting ldquoI would rather work on rebuilding Codyrsquosrdquo

Sarachan cited the cityrsquos inability to commu-nicate what is required of him as the reason for the delay in developing the lot City staff hold that much of the delay has been caused by Sara-chan according to Wendy Cosin interim plan-ning director for the city

ldquoWersquove reached the end of the linerdquo Bates said in an interview after the meeting ldquoWersquove given Mr Sarachan every opportunity to move forward but he hasnrsquot for various reasons hellip we hope we can work it all outrdquo

The total amount of the foreclosure on the lot is $64095739 This includes the $503034 deed of trust for the property as well as a nui-sance abatement charge of $13792339

ldquoHopefully this will scare him into doing what he needs to dordquo said Councilmember Kriss Worthington in an interview after the meeting ldquoOr it could just make him angryrdquo

Financial transparency bill is signed into law

A bill aiming to bring greater transparency and accountability to Californiarsquos institutions of higher ed-ucation was signed into law Tuesday night by Gov Jerry Brown

SB 8 mdash authored by Senator Le-land Yee D-San Francisco mdash requires auxiliaries and foundations associated with the statersquos institutions of higher education to produce all financial re-cords contracts and correspondence to public disclosure upon request ac-cording to a press release from Yeersquos office The bill applies to the UC CSU and statersquos community college system

The signing comes after three years of legislative work and two vetoes by former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Prior to the signing of this bill pub-lic education institutions were not re-quired to disclose details on donations through their auxiliaries and founda-tions SB 8 will now require that these gifts be subject to transparency rules similar to the California Public Re-cords Act according to Terry Francke general counsel for California Aware a nonprofit group that audits public institutions for transparency

By Jessica Rossoni | Staffjrossonidailycalorg

Recent activities at state public in-stitutions brought the issue of trans-parency to the forefront Francke said

Last year the California State Uni-versity Stanislaus Foundation hired former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to speak at the campusrsquos 50th anni-versary celebration The foundation was not required to provide any de-tails of the speaking contract with Pa-lin to the public including how much she was paid to speak at the event

To obtain this information Cali-fornians Aware filed a lawsuit ac-cording to Francke

ldquoThe key is that these foundations in particular at each campus are in the business of trying to attract char-itable donations to support scholar-ships research programs and other educational activityrdquo Francke said ldquoItrsquos a significant supplement to in-come from the state and student tu-ition so itrsquos a whole stream of money that is supposedly flowing to these campuses through foundationsrdquo

The signed bill was amended to protect donor anonymity except in situations where the donor receives something from the institution val-ued at over $2500 receives a no-bid contract within five years of the do-nation or attempts to influence the

Shortly after the Berkeley Inn which had occupied the lot for more than 80 years burned down in 1990 and was subsequently demolished at the cityrsquos expense the non-profit Resources for Community Develop-ment tried to partner with the city to buy the property

RCD and the city intended to turn the space into an affordable housing unit with retail space for Amoeba Music beneath but when the nonprofitrsquos option to buy expired Sarachan bought the property for $800000 mdash a move that many saw as intending to thwart the ex-

pansion of Amoeba which is located across the street from the lot

Sarachan was told that the city would waive the lien attached to the property mdash incurred when the city was forced to demolish the ru-ins of the Berkeley Inn after it burned down mdash under the conditions that he build affordable housing and a public toilet on the site accord-ing to Worthington

council approves settlement in library demolition lawsuit

Just over a year since a lawsuit was filed against the city for its pro-posal to demolish two branches of the Berkeley Public Library the Berkeley City Council approved the terms of a settlement Tuesday night giving the green light for construc-tion

The partial settlement agreement with the Concerned Library Users over the contentious demolition of the South and West branches mdash part of the overall rehabilitation project slated for the Berkeley Public Library mdash calls for the establishment of a $100000 his-toric preservation fund and will not halt the demolition and rebuilding of the two branches

By Theresa Adams | Stafftadamsdailycalorg

The money will be used for the physical restoration and preservation of other city buildings and some pri-vate structures In addition to the fund the city will pay $15000 mdash a portion of the grouprsquos legal fees according to a Berkeley Public Library Foundation press release

Councilmember Jesse Arreguin said the city opted to resolve the lawsuit since it was not sure what the court ruling might be and because the ballot measure talked about preserving his-toric buildings

ldquoIf the court did rule in favor of the plaintiff we would need to find fund-ing elsewhere and create a new planrdquo he said

In 2000 the library system began to review feasibility studies to update the libraries according to Elisabeth Wat-son president of the Berkeley Public Library Foundation Eight years later voters approved Measure FF a $26 million bond to fund improvements at the cityrsquos public libraries

Since some of the subsequent pro-posals included options to demolish remove and make adjustments to li-brary branches the Concerned Library Users sued Aug 30 stating that funds from the measure could only be used

to ldquorenovate expand and make seismic and access improvementsrdquo

The grouprsquos spokesperson Judith Epstein has previously stated that oth-er issues such as the energy-efficiency evaluation and the costs of the new construction were also part of the ba-sis for the lawsuit

ldquoWe gathered a bunch of people to-gether when the city started to break its wordrdquo she said in an interview Wednesday

The city rejected the grouprsquos preser-vation plan saying it was too expensive and would not meet the current needs of the community

The approved plans will allow li-braries to provide equitable services Watson said This would entail teen workspaces quiet areas and locations for story-time for kids

The settlement means the project will now move forward and work on the West and South buildings will be-gin once the other two branches the Claremont and North are completed and reopened

ldquoItrsquos really about getting the best libraries for the money we have to spendrdquo Watson said ldquoLibraries serve a lot of purposes and we need the librar-ies to meet those needsrdquo

Deal features establishment of a $100000 fund for preservation of historic city and private buildings

The Peoplersquos Park tree-sit that began just over a week ago came to an end early Tuesday morning after one of the protesters fell out of the tree and had to be rushed to the hospital

A 19-year-old female fell out of the tree at about 4 am sustaining major injuries and effectively bringing the demonstration to an end Officers from UCPD and the Berkeley Police Department arrived at the scene at about 437 am according to UCPD Lt Marc DeCoulode spokesperson for the depart-ment Police have not confirmed the extent of the tree-sitterrsquos injuries though various residents of the park claim she broke her back during the fall

According to local activist Zachary RunningWolf mdash who has organized several tree-sits in the park mdash the 19-year-old female whom he called Amy fell out of the tree after accidentally rolling over in her sleep

True Shieldstshieldsdailycalorg

It is almost time to go on stage and I am terrified Thoughts are bouncing around inside my head

like frenzied bees and Irsquove broken out in a full flop sweat mdash the kind that immobilizes you with its awful gravity and torrential volume

The act before me consists of a frazzled old man philosophically dissecting the idea of why the chicken crossed the road What a lead-in When the coffee shop emcee asks me if Irsquove paid my $5 yet I respond with a grave stare and a slow nod I endure a few fist-clenching moments of tension and before I realize it I am standing before a small crowd with my nerves wound tightly my teeth grinding from nervousness

How did I find myself hereI belong to a family of cynics If

you were to travel back to the Globe Theater in Shakespearersquos heyday there would be a Shields standing in the back of the crowd pointing out plot holes in ldquoA Midsummer Nightrsquos Dreamrdquo Growing up I learned that the most popular view was not as important as the one that questioned why certain ideas were seen as cor-rect or great Content to keep my head down during high school I spent a lot of time buried in books thinking up (and rarely acting upon) ideas that would topple the prevail-ing ideology mdash often acerbic but mostly absurd I never thought I would exercise these traits in front of a live crowd

My stand-up career really started with my younger brother Zane

He spent much of his childhood too small too uncoordinated or too undisciplined to really succeed at anything with the exception of describing his bitterness at being all of these things Luckily for him self-deprecation is one of the pillars of stand-up comedy

Zane performed his first show at the legendary Hollywood Improv (albeit with the curtains drawn) He did very well so well that some of the older women in the crowd playfully hit on him after the show He was beaming only partially because of the flirting

As he performed more shows at Los Angeles clubs like the Vault Zane gained more confidence One of my brotherrsquos best jokes was about how the tenets of Christianity mdash if they were supposedly handed down from on high and then edited and translated and edited again mdash were the result of a giant game of tele-phone He was very proud of that joke and only told it if he needed to shore up new material

Almost a year later I found myself watching a David Cross special Cross a comic not afraid to step on toes began a routine about the Bible Yes yes religion is funny David But then something strange happened He told the exact same joke my

brother had written nearly two years prior mdash the ldquoChristianity is the result of a game of telephonerdquo bit

And I realized that the smallest observations can resonate with great numbers of people

At its core stand-up comedy is about self-realization As an

audience member we can enjoy jokes as the products of offbeat perspectives that force us to examine our beliefs in spite of ourselves It is the magic of stand-up comedy that allowed Stephen Colbert to openly insult for-mer President Bush at the White House Correspondentsrsquo Dinner and get away with it It is the same magic that forces us to re-examine ourselves when George Carlin lambastes American capitalism and tells us we have too much stuff The truth is not often pretty but if attacked from an unexpected angle it can cause an audience to pay more attention

For performers like my brother comedy is therapeutic It is the pressure valve that produces Louis CK and Larry Davidrsquos self-depre-catory rants and the socially con-scious acts of comedians such as Richard Pryor Comedians mdash my brother included mdash enjoy feeling clever or cynical because it makes them feel more powerful like they have some measure of control over themselves and their surroundings because they figured it out first and they are the only ones who see the world in this way The rest is simply a process of sharing what theyrsquove found

It may sound like a narcissistrsquos wet dream but the reality is that comedy is about commiseration not self-aggrandizement For me mdash a gradu-ating senior with no girlfriend few career prospects and few places to hang up my hat mdash it seemed like the perfect way to complain without being a nuisance

And so here I am on a stage at a coffee shop in West Oakland trem-bling to the core of my being while I stand before a surly-looking crowd Say something Anything They came here to hear you Maybe You are sort of the main event You matter if only as a source of cheap laughs Just talk

ldquoHey folks how are we doing tonightrdquo

higher education

Dozens of groups ranging from state teachersrsquo organizations to a mul-tinational company paid to lobby the second part of the California DREAM Act according to documents from the Secretary of Statersquos office

The documents available through a database compiled by California Watch indicate that the act mdash also known as AB 131 which the state Senate and As-sembly approved last week and now awaits the signature of Gov Jerry Brown mdash was lobbied by over 30 groups many of which contributed hundreds of thou-sands of dollars to lobbyist efforts

Organizations lobbying the state Legislature must submit a Form 635 which names the bills being lobbied and the amount paid to those lobbying in the state Legislature The form does not specify the amount paid to lobby individual bills but rather the total ex-penditures for all lobbying actions

Of the many groups that lobbied AB 131 the California Teachers Associa-tion paid a combined $53 million to lobbying efforts on that bill and over 20 Assembly and Senate bills in the first half of fiscal year 2011 according

By Damian Ortellado | Staffdortelladodailycalorg

to the Form 635s the association sub-mitted

Mike Myslinski a spokesperson for the 325000-member association said the approximately 25000 undocu-mented students who graduate from state high schools every year should be eligible for financial aid

ldquoOur communities and our economy are best served by a higher education system that recognizes equal access to educational opportunitiesrdquo he said

The associationrsquos touting of the eco-nomic benefits of AB 131 was expressed by several other groups that lobbied the bill including the California Federa-tion of Teachers The federation which represents faculty in public and private schools and colleges also lobbied the bill contributing about $380000 in the first half of fiscal year 2011 to lobby over 30 bills including AB 131 accord-ing to the federationrsquos Form 635s

ldquoThe social costs for not provid-ing this aid far outweigh the financial cost of helping these Californians suc-ceed and contribute to the recovery of Californiarsquos economyrdquo said Judith Mi-chaels a legislative representative for the federation in a letter to state Sena-tor Christine Kehoe D-San Diego

But groups representing teachers were not the only organizations to lob-by the bill at the state level The North-

ern and Southern California as well as the San Diego and Imperial Counties branches of the American Civil Lib-erties Union also supported the bill paying approximately a combined $170000 in the first half of fiscal year 2011 to lobby over 60 bills

ldquo(Studentsrsquo) ability to pursue higher education promises not only the fulfill-ment of personal dreams but also a more vital labor force for the future of Californiardquo said Tiffany Mok a legisla-tive advocate for the union in a letter to state Assemblymember Gil Cedillo D-Los Angeles

Although the documents show most-ly in-state organizations lobbied the bill the multinational American In-ternational Group Inc mdash an insurance organization headquartered in New York mdash contributed about $20000 to lobbyist efforts for AB 131 and seven other bills in the second quarter of fis-cal year 2011 according to a Form 635 submitted by the organization

The city of Berkeley also participat-ed in lobbying the bill The city which voted unanimously to support AB 131 in May provided about $12500 to lobby AB 131 and over a dozen other bills in the second quarter of 2011 ac-cording to the cityrsquos Form 635

mdash U2 lsquoThe Hands That Built Americarsquo

Fifteen months after the destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept 11 2001 New York City was reborn in glorious

fashion on celluloidIt took a pair of feature films from two of the

cityrsquos most influential filmmakers to do it The first Queens native Martin Scorsesersquos ldquoGangs of New Yorkrdquo framed a father-son revenge saga around immigrant life in Civil War-era New York and the 1863 draft riots The second Brooklyn resident Spike Leersquos ldquo25th Hourrdquo fol-lowed a convicted drug dealer as he navigates post-911 New York City before serving a seven-year prison sentence Set 140 years apart the films nevertheless coalesced remarkably in their portrayals of the turbulent divisions shared between the cityrsquos past and present

When ldquoGangs of New Yorkrdquo opened in the December of 2002 Scorsesersquos violent dramatiza-tion of mid-19th century ethnic tensions in New Yorkrsquos Five Points district captured not only the operatic allure of a bygone era but also con-veyed a veteran filmmakerrsquos resolute manifesto of hope for a city constantly regenerating itself

amid the tumultuous ebb and flow of historyldquoMy father told me we was all born of blood

and tribulationsrdquo muses Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the closing moments of the film ldquoAnd so then too was our great cityrdquo As he vanishes from the screen we see New York blossom in the background from an imaginary vantage point on the shores of the Hudson River Gray trails of industrial waste billowing out of smokestacks transform into skyscrapers the Brooklyn Bridge rises out of the water and finally moments before the fade to black the World Trade Center towers emerge proud pin-nacles of one hundred years of progress

We know from anecdotes that ldquoGangsrdquo spent decades in gestation and that Scorsese had always wanted to make a historical epic in the tradition of Italian masters like Luchino Visconti But his vision of premodern America has more in common with DW Griffithrsquos ldquoThe Birth of a Nationrdquo in its treatment of human conflict transpiring along the lines of ideology and identity There is something indelible about Scorsesersquos decision to end the film with an image of the New York skyline with the World Trade Center towers intact As viewers we are remind-ed that the cityrsquos transformation from industrial upstart to cultural behemoth would mean little

without the most recognizable symbol of its global prominence

Released on the same day as ldquoGangs of New Yorkrdquo Spike Leersquos ldquo25th Hourrdquo picks up

where ldquoGangsrdquo left off capturing a city and its inhabitants mired in a post-911 purgatory This concept manifests itself in the filmrsquos opening credits sequence which features shots of the twin beams where the World Trade Center once stood illuminating the New York City skyline like specters of modern history

In the years following his seminal ldquoDo the Right Thingrdquo (1989) Lee had carved a niche for himself in the cityrsquos cultural landscape and ldquo25th Hourrdquo ranks among his finest efforts The film brims with physical and psychological reminders of the 911 tragedy Midway through the film we see protagonist Monty Brogan (Edward Norton) lock himself up in a bathroom stall and embark on a schizophrenic diatribe against the socioeconomic and ethnic makeup of New York City Taken on its own it remains one of the last decadersquos most provocative sequences

ldquoLet an earthquake crumble it let the fires rage let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested placerdquo we hear Nortonrsquos character yell unable to reconcile what he perceives as Americarsquos existen-

tial malady with his own regret over having lived a wasted life Meanwhile Lee orchestrates a montage of faces buildings and found footage over a mournful jazz riff creating a kaleidoscope of post-911 America By capturing one manrsquos frustration over the loss of dignity in a mercurial new world Lee reveals a fractured microcosm beautiful broken desperately alive

Frame by frame New York Cityrsquos cinematic sons debunked the myths of Americarsquos

march into modernity in favor of harsher heart-breaking realities In their own ways ldquoGangs of New Yorkrdquo and ldquo25th Hourrdquo retain their power as remarkable anthropological documents com-plementing each other as they recreate the destruction and rebirth of America within the framework of the urban identity

Fifteen months after witnessing the cityrsquos greatest tragedy New Yorkrsquos eight million resi-dents saw themselves reflected on the screen To experience Scorsese and Leersquos respective contri-butions to the American film canon is to gaze anew into the deepest recesses of 21st century America itself through the human eyes of a city at once divided by perpetual conflict and united in an eternal celebration of resilience recon-struction and redemption

Scorsese and Spike Lee crafted vivid tributes to a wounded metropolis

Michael Arad Berkeley-based architecture firm to unveil 911 Memorial

Loss creates a void mdash a physical and emotional space that needs to be filled In the case of the

Sept 11 2001 and Feb 26 1993 attacks the void is particularly severe as it affects families a nation and the lot once occupied by the World Trade Center Architect Michael Arad took it upon himself to fill the latter with a memorial that preserves the memory of the 3000 people who lost their lives in these tragedies

Aradrsquos memorial design which was selected from a 2003 international design competition stood out from 5201 applications from 63 countries

By Sara Hayden | Staffshaydendailycalorg

Although the original design is uniquely Aradrsquos ambitious plans called for cooperative relationships between Arad the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and Peter Walker and Partners a Berkeley-based architecture firm Challenging plans to execute construction and sky-high estimated costs grated nerves and caused relations to thin Despite myriad difficulties however the disparate teams struck a collab-orative balance in the end The National September 11 Memorial is now completed and rises out of Ground Zero open just in time for the 10-year anniversary since the tragedy

Some changes suggested by Walker were made to the design

Arad submitted to the competition but the essence of Aradrsquos original vision for ldquoReflecting Absencerdquo as he titled his project has been maintained The proposed plan offered a space in which people could fall into the hush of private and shared grief the final creation does exactly that

Protected by trees whose leaves quietly track the passage of time with seasonal changes of color the memorial offers a haven away from shrieking traffic and overbearing pressure of the city environment Pools swell 30 feet below ground in the square acre prints where the Twin Towers originally stood inviting visitors to reflect Waterfalls hem in the pools the waterrsquos

perpetual flow is reminiscent of a collective whisper that persists in the mists of memory

For individual commemoration names have been engraved in bronze around the pools with the intention of visitors being able to find the names of their loved ones and create rubbings and impressions of the inscribed letters To facilitate tracking a specific person on the memorial walls the 911 Memorial website features a search bar in which one can enter a name birthplace residence employer affiliation first responder unit or flight

Additionally names can be searched for in an on-site museum that complements Aradrsquos outdoor

space for remembrance Designed by the Norwegian architecture firm Snohetta the museum presents educational opportunities through interactive exhibits Children who are too young to remember the events or adults who are just now ready to confront them will have the chance to learn about the victims the events that led to the attacks and how 911 continues to affect us

Inside the museum and outside the plaza surrounding the pools there is space Rather than creating empti-ness the space is filled with respect and the knowledge that despite our checkered patterns of personal back-grounds shared memory brings us a common American identity

Had this novel been written in standard typography with a linear narrative and a clearly outlined story arc perhaps Foer would have fallen short in his attempt to reconstruct the stories of individual people affected by the attacks Here he has

shown us that in the wake of disaster and in order to reinvent the tired genre of the ldquotrauma narrativerdquo a novel might need to leave Modernist literary conventions behind to find truth and meaning

Soldered to historical literary conventions mdash think Joycersquos ldquoPortrait of the Artistrdquo meets WG Sebaldrsquos ldquoAusterlitzrdquo also a millennial trauma narrative mdash Foerrsquos approach to visual writing suggests that we need to look outside of what we typically view as ldquoliteraturerdquo to explore a deep psychological wound a wound thatrsquos in all of us In turn it seems that the implements of pre-911 literary tradition afforded us no way of reshaping our own trauma narrative

Not only did Foer set the bar for how we understand September 11 in terms of the novel a site for exploring for emotions we canrsquot yet broach he in effect imagined a whole new tradition of fiction writing No journalism or at least none I can think of could do such a thing

Novels reflected on lsquoIncredibly Closersquo disaster

StuDiOCanalWORKing titleCOuRteSY

In the wake of 911 attacks lsquoUnited 93rsquo galvanized American cinema

Dramatizations of defining moments in history are nothing new for movies or any other artistic medium for that matter

World War II and Vietnam films belong to their own subgenre of war movies while a typical period piece always has the need to wink at viewers by cleverly referencing real life events

But even after ten years a ldquo911 genrerdquo has yet to make a major impact on the film scene Sure there have been a few movies that have tackled the topic head on namely Oliver Stonersquos ldquoWorld Trade Centerrdquo and Paul Greengrassrsquos ldquoUnited 93rdquo but neither film saw the level of devotion given to Steven Spielbergrsquos epic ldquoSaving Private Ryanrdquo or Stonersquos critically and commercially acclaimed take on Vietnam ldquoPlatoonrdquo

Part of the issue might relate to the very reason why audiences go to the movies in the first place Films allow audiences a chance to peer into

situations and phenomena that most would never have the opportunity or desire to be a part of 911 stands as one of those rare occurrences that managed to touch every American from those who actually experienced the falling of the towers in person to the millions who followed the events on TV or the radio Who would want to relive the feelings of that moment

But therein lies the genius of ldquoUnited 93rdquo a film that should eventually go down as Paul Greengrassrsquo seminal work even if it never gains the large follow-ing of his two ldquoBournerdquo movies Greengrass strips the plot down to its very basics

There is no mention of Al Qaeda Osama bin Laden or Afghanistan The politics that have shaped the country since 911 are pushed aside in favor of a story that has to do with survival and dealing with a situation with courage once the hope for survival has vanished ldquoUnited 93rdquo gives us exactly what a movie is supposed to give its audi-ence mdash a chance to peer into a situation that we hope wersquoll never have to be a part of

Bruce Springsteen has always had two fingers on Americarsquos pulse He observes his patient listens to her describe her symptoms and although he

cannot offer a panacea to all that ails her prescribes something to soothe the pain Springsteen played physician in 2002 when his album The Rising was released However his prescriptions were not always so helpful

Springsteen as the critical choice for representing the voice of America was initially a shock to the system Twenty years before The Rising he identified Americarsquos ills in Nebraska but his tone felt more like lemon juice to a wound than an attempt to comfort ldquoJohnny 99rdquo laments ldquoThe bank was holdinrsquo my mortgage and they was takinrsquo my house awayhellip But it was more lsquon all this that put that gun in my handrdquo

Bruce Springsteen album crystallized national tragedymusic

COLUMBIA RECORDSCOURTESY

1984rsquos Born in the USA is also an alien relative to The Rising with its sour violence ldquoGot in a little hometown jam so they put a rifle in my handSent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow manrdquo

ldquoJohnny 99rdquo and ldquoBorn In the USArdquo are timely again in todayrsquos economic and political climates but in the heat following 911 they werenrsquot exactly harbingers of the poignancy and hopefulness that would lead to Springsteenrsquos success with The Rising

Indeed The Rising stands on its own Springsteenrsquos beats pulse in the time of many American hearts when ldquoNothing Manrdquo observes ldquoHow my brave young lifeWas forever changedIn a misty cloud of pink vaporrdquo In the aftermath of the 911 attacks America didnrsquot need anything melodramatic or earth-shatter-ing mdash history had already given her that she just needed something relatable Springsteen is not a pro-fessional diagnostician but the hopeful themes and all-encompassing American characters of The Rising were just what the doctor ordered

Former Cal ruggers ready to compete in upcoming World Cup

Seven players and an assistant coach on the US national team hail from Cal The squad will take part in the worldrsquos

biggest sporting event this year

The Cal rugby team has quite a reputation in the United States hav-ing won a staggering 26 national championships in program history including the 2011 title

With the opening of the Rugby World Cup on Sept 11 the Cal name reaches the international stage

More than any university or even junior national squad the Bears send an unparalleled eight former players to the US national team seven as players and one as an assistant coach The Cal contingent makes up almost a fourth of the roster

ldquoThose guys reaching this mile-stone makes me really really happy for themrdquo Cal coach Jack Clark said ldquoBut I also feel satisfied for the rugby program that wersquore contributing in the way we are collectively and for our university not just the rugby program to the success of these play-ersrdquo

By Christina Jones | Senior Staffcjonesdailycalorg

Current Stanford coach and for-mer Bear assistant coach and player Matt Sherman will coach the backs including Colin Hawley and recent graduate Blaine Scully

They join former Bears Chris Biller Eric Fry Mike MacDonald Brian McClenahan and Louis Stanfill who will serve as forwards on the national squad

ldquoI was hopeful for every one of them because I knew they were in the running but typically you just get caught up in a numbers gamerdquo Clark said ldquoThe idea that it would work out for really every one of them is pretty uniquerdquo

Since rugby has not been included in the Olympics since 1924 the Rugby World Cup falls just behind the Summer Olympics and the FIFA World Cup as the globersquos most watched event

With this being an off-year for the Olympics and the World Cup rugby will take center stage as the worldrsquos biggest sporting event this year

ldquoItrsquos a huge honor for me repre-

senting not only my country but Calrdquo said Scully who captained last yearrsquos national championship squad

In order to get a plane ticket to New Zealand and a red white and blue uniform players had to make incredi-ble sacrifices Clark said

Scully was fortunate in that such an opportunity came on the heels of grad-uation and both MacDonald and Stanfill play professionally overseas For the others getting to this point has involved a less than steady post-colle-giate life

Clark said more than just these seven players have come through his program with the level of talent to make the national team Many pursue graduate study or a fulfilling job

A select few ldquotread water looking for this opportunityrdquo taking less than desirable jobs that allow them the flex-ibility to travel on little notice to earn a spot on the team according to Clark

Unfortunately for these former Bears the American team is not pro-jected to fare well against highly-pro-fessional sides The squad opens against Ireland which is projected to go deep into the tournament

ldquoI think a lot of the celebration unfortunately for these guys is in making the team and having the opportunity and responsibility of rep-resenting the United States in such a large significant sporting eventrdquo Clark said

competitive and fight so hard on the field but after the game everybody goes to get a pintrdquo So where does it stand 10 years removed Alicersquos son has been hon-ored but the prospect of the public losing touch worries her ldquoWe have a lot of unfinished busi-nessrdquo she says ldquoIrsquom going to be all about that until the day I dierdquo The task is never too daunting and the memory is never too distant So yes Alice Hoagland wants to talk She talks because she is paying the tribute that she feels her son deserves

The ease with which Alice Hoagland speaks about her son is not merely admirable

but extraordinaryAlmost 10 years removed from

the day that saw her son rise as an American hero the mother of Mark Bingham mdash the former Cal rugby player who helped bring down the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11 2001 mdash speaks vigorously and vividly about life with and without her son Alice Hoagland wants to talk because the tragic results produced the advancement of movements that her only son mdash her only child mdash advocated Alice Hoagland wants to talk because 10 years though a nec-essary reminder to the public remains a number while the loss of a son cannot be measured But why does Alice Hoagland really want to speak up ldquo911 may have drifted into some peoplersquos distant memories but it is right there for me all the timerdquo Hoagland says ldquoMy life now is about the unfinished busi-ness of 911rdquo Alice Hoagland wants to be heard because complacency is not an option An engaging conversa-tionalist and a motivating voice she will stop at nothing to com-memorate her son That means not merely championing Markrsquos causes but also confronting the issues that took his life Mark Bingham was a reserve on the 1991 Cal rugby National Championship squad and graduat-ed from Berkeley in 1993 Bingham and three other former athletes mdash Jeremy Glick (a nation-al collegiate judo champion) Todd Beamer (a former college shortstop and three-sport high school athlete from Binghamrsquos high school Los Gatos) and Tom Burnett (a star high school quarterback) mdash stormed the cockpit of Flight 93 initially headed from Newark to San Francisco and helped crash the plane before it reached the hijackersrsquo intended target of the US Capitol Building The plane crashed in a field in Stonycreek Township Pennsylvania killing all 44 on board but none on the ground We may not dream of such a scenario but heroes are those that act decisively and forcefully By entering the cockpit and disabling armed terrorists intent on destruction Bingham Glick Burnett and Beamer saved lives and acted not solely as human beings but also as athletes ldquoI think what athletes do is instinctively take into account whatrsquos happening and whatrsquos real and what needs to be done Itrsquos part of the DNA of being a real athleterdquo

Cal rugby coach Jack Clark says ldquoOnce an athlete gets that bit of data that these things are ending bad you act Itrsquos an informed decision at that point You donrsquot sit there and hope for the best or pretend that the information isnrsquot real Itrsquos real and itrsquos actionable You take action and that is what athletes are taught to dordquo

For Mark Bingham it was rugby that helped instill those

reflexes ldquoI saw what wonderful things rugby did for Mark and by exten-sion what wonderful things com-petitive sports and athletic skill that was aboard Flight 93 did for Americardquo Hoagland says ldquoThose skills that those guys learned showed They demonstrated themselves on the back of that doomed 757 They realized how dire and desperate the situation was They came up with a desper-ate plan to overthrow a plot two years in the makingrdquo Hoagland will discuss the event mdash it is difficult to avoid with the anniversary nearing mdash but it remains ldquofresh bad newsrdquo for her every time it resurfaces Itrsquos the loss of a son after all Tragedy motivates but Alice merely con-tinued what she was doing before mdash loving her son And the love is all-encompass-ing one of reconciliation equality and peace ldquoEvery peace-loving person owes it to his fellow human being to speak out on behalf of the human race to remember that we are all a part of the human familyrdquo Hoagland says ldquoWe are knit up together Markrsquos family is related several generations to the Moorish lines that populated Europe Whether we like it or not we are all intertwined geneticallyrdquo

As a former United Airlines flight attendant Hoagland

frankly discusses her beliefs in strengthening aviation security and eradicating terrorism The mother of a gay son Alice is pas-sionate in her desire for main-stream America to fully accept LGBT individuals When discuss-ing her life since 911 Markrsquos mother is sincere But when talk-ing rugby Alicersquos tone is markedly upbeat Bingham received all sorts of posthumous awards which created opportunities for others Prior to his death Mark was a pioneer of the San Francisco Fog a multi-ethnic non-discriminate team whose cre-ation parlayed into the International Gay Rugby Association and Board (IGRAB) Just a few weeks before September 11 the Fog was accepted into the Northern Calfornia Rugby Union an accreditation Mark helped achieve People reached out generously after the attacks In 2002 the first-ever Bingham Cup was hosted by the Fog in San Francisco Now the Cup is a biennial international gay rugby
