Future of Child Care Still Uncertain
Students, Faculty Discuss The Fate of Ethnic Studies
Officials in the Berkeley Unified School District have described this year’s proposed state budget cuts as “an exercise in torment,” “not friendly to education” and “darn near crimi-nal.”
These cuts, however, may prove friendlier to the district than the Cali-fornia state budget impasse itself — the longest in state history — that lasted 99 days, ending Oct. 8.
In August, as the beginning of the school year approached and the state budget remained unapproved, districts had to decide how to pre-serve state-subsidized child care pro-

grams even while it remained unclear whether the final budget would ac-count for them. Gov. Schwarzeneg-ger’s May budget revision would have removed child care funding for 220,000 kids statewide, according to Rachel Ehlers, principal fiscal and policy analyst with the California Legislative Analyst’s Office.
While the state budget process dragged on, districts were forced to shrink the threatened programs to a size that could be funded with their cash reserves. The Berkeley Unified School District, for example, cut its child care program for low-income families — Berkeley’s Excellent Aca-demic Road to Success — by 75 per-cent at the beginning of the school
year, dropping the number of students served from 300 to 70 and forcing the district to lay off 10 teachers and four instructional assistants who worked within the program.
The final budget as approved Oct. 8 should presumably allow the dis-trict to rehire the teachers it let go. But if the families pushed out of the BEARS program — which is free for parents whose income level is 40 per-cent below the state median income — do not want to return in the middle of the year, the district may not be able to rehire everyone, district offi-cials said.
Because state child care funding is awarded through a contract requiring

Man Arrested After Allegedly Taking Pictures in Locker room
UCPD officers arrested a man Thurs-day afternoon on suspicion of disguising himself as a female and taking pictures of women in a UC Berkeley Recreational Sports Facility locker room on two sepa-rate incidents Oct. 4 and Oct. 6.
Gregorio Hernandez, 29, was ar-rested at 1:58 p.m. in the Martin Lu-ther King Junior Student Union build-ing on campus after a warrant was issued Thursday morning, according to UCPD Lt. Alex Yao, who added that Hernandez is not affiliated with the university.
Hernandez was charged with two separate counts of disorderly conduct

and turned over to the Berkeley Police Department, according to Yao.
Yao said that to his knowledge, the suspect did not resist arrest and added that the department is not releasing further information regarding the in-vestigation or suspect because the in-vestigation is active and ongoing.
Though Yao said the suspect ap-peared to be taking pictures with his cell phone while in the locker room on one occasion, neither charge mentions photographing.
In an interview on Oct. 12, Yao also said the suspect — in the first incident wearing a costume including large, dark sunglasses, sweatpants with rolled-up legs, and curly shoulder-length black hair believed to be a wig, and wearing workout clothes and a wig in the second incident — fled after fa-cility staff members confronted him in the locker room, which is located be-hind a security gate and turnstiles.
UCPD officers searched for the sus-pect unsuccessfully after each incident,

Students and faculty in the UC Berke-ley Ethnic Studies Department are working to open dialogue and reduce tensions after a recommendation from an external review committee to consol-idate three of the department’s majors into one comparative ethnic studies ma-jor has drawn significant anxiety among students over the past few weeks.
Faculty members from each of the four majors in the department, which also includes an ethnic studies major, held meetings in the past two weeks to discuss the committee’s recommenda-tions — affecting Asian American stud-ies, Chicano/Latino studies and Native American studies — with students and answer questions. The fourth meeting was held Thursday in Barrows Hall, with approximately 10 students and six faculty members in attendance.
Students held an additional meet-ing Wednesday night in preparation for Thursday’s meeting.
While students entered Thursday’s meeting prepared to assert their oppo-sition to the consolidation recommen-dation, both students and faculty felt satisfied after the meeting’s conclusion.
“I think it was really productive and it definitely ended on a very positive note,” said UC Berkeley senior Ruben Canedo, an ethnic studies and social welfare double major who facilitated the student meeting.
Thursday’s meeting resulted in an agreement to have another meeting in the middle of November for fac-ulty members to listen to students’ concerns and recommendations to improve the department, according to Thomas Biolsi, chair of the ethnic
by Mary SusmanContributing Writer
studies department and professor of Native American studies.
After consulting with graduate and undergraduate students, faculty mem-bers will report their decisions stem-ming from the recommendations to the campus administration in May, Biolsi said. They may not make deci-sions on some recommendations until next year.
According to Keith Feldman, as-sistant professor of ethnic studies and facilitator of Thursday’s meeting, the faculty has yet to discuss any of the rec-ommendations. They plan to sit down together Nov. 1.
In the report, the department was also encouraged to enhance the majors’ field study requirement and increase faculty involvement with students. Al-though the faculty members will not make any guarantees over potential changes to the department’s structure, Feldman said students should “abso-lutely not” be worried.
“(The consolidation recommenda-tion) is essentially dead in the water as far as the faculty is concerned, al-though I don’t want to put words in their mouth,” Biolsi said.
According to Biolsi, much of the student concern is because of the cir-culation of misinformation. The rec-ommendations are meant for the de-partment to give “more students more value for their tuition money,” he said.
The department plans to add three new faculty members within the next two years. This expansion, which was authorized by the administration be-fore the report was released, comes after the loss of six faculty members to retirement and death over the past 10 years, Biolsi said.
While students remain unclear about the future of the department, Canedo said he welcomed communi-cation between faculty and students.
“The ethnic studies department is near and dear to my heart, and I want what’s best for it,” Canedo said.

Berkeley-Based Online Activism Tool ‘Causes’ Plans Expansion
After raising tens of millions in fi-nancing since 2007, Berkeley-based Causes — the company behind the Facebook application and online ac-tivism tool of the same name and an important figure in the local nonprofit community — will soon relocate to San Francisco as it seeks to broaden its scope.
Since its founding three years ago, Causes has grown immensely, raising over $16 million, according to ma-jor media outlets. Over 100 million people now use the application, said Joe Green, Causes co-founder and president, and about $27 million has been donated to various organizations through the application, according to the company’s website.
Founded by Green — a former grassroots organizer and college roommate of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg — and Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and former Fa-cebook president, Causes combines philanthropy with the efficiency of social networking.
Although the company currently consists of a team of 16 employees, Green said in many ways Causes — the 45th most trafficked site in the U.S., he said — is no longer a small business.
The company will expand further with the release of its own website and the premier of a Causes in-store char-ity gift card, Causes Office Manager Sydney Fleischer said in an e-mail.
By giving nonprofits access to such a large online community, Fleischer said,
by Nina BrownContributing Writer
Causes is bringing these businesses into the age of social media by allowing them to interact with their supporters and create custom fundraising proj-ects that demonstrate to people what they can help accomplish.
“For us, to be able to raise $4,000 like that virtually is great,” said Yalda Modabber, executive director of Berke-ley-based nonprofit Golestan Center for Language Immersion and Cultural Education. “We’ve received donations from over 300 people on Facebook, and those aren’t the same people do-nating to us offline.”
Causes contributes to Berkeley’s lo-cal community by hosting events for area nonprofits and advising them on how to use social media to raise mon-ey. The company sublets offices in its building “quite cheaply” to local non-profits as well, Green said.
The company also has a presence on the UC Berkeley campus, where team members have spoken in classes, Fleis-cher said in the e-mail, adding that an alumnus working for the company is planning a hack-a-thon for students. Three members of the Causes team, including Chief Technologist Jimmy Kittiyachavalit and engineer Jay Ad-kisson, are campus alumni.
Green attributes Causes’ success to its large, centralized audience built around charity and activism.
“How do you build movements of people? It happens through peoples’ friends,” he said. “What gets them to actually show up is that their friends are going to be there.”

CHILD CARE : Oakland Programs Also StrugglingfrOm frOnt
districts to enroll a certain number of students in their programs, the district may not be able to reach designated levels and rehire teachers it was forced to lay off.
Zachary Pless, district supervisor for extended learning programs, said he is fearful the disruption caused by the budget impasse may have sub-stantial effects on rebuilding BEARS but that closing it was the only option when the promise of state funding was uncertain.
“We couldn’t keep all the doors open — we simply couldn’t,” he said. “We didn’t have all the money to do it.”
He said the district is now asking families who no longer use BEARS if they want to return to the program in the hopes of reopening classrooms be-ginning Nov. 1.
“It depends a lot on the families,” Pless said. “Some of them might be re-ally happy where they are, or they may be desperate to come back.”
Most of the 230 students BEARS could no longer support were absorbed into the district’s other after-school child care program, which is not sub-sidized by the state.
Families pay a fee based on monthly income levels — about $50 a month for a BEARS-qualified fam-ily — to use the alternate program, according to Pless, so many of those families would probably want to switch back to BEARS to get rid of the added expense.
At LeConte Elementary School — one of the five school sites where the BEARS program was closed — 43 stu-dents were displaced and joined the district’s unsubsidized after-school program, according to Charity DaMa-rto, after-school coordinator for the school. She said the BEARS families are satisfied with the change but may
be willing to switch back.“The BEARS program families
would want to go back because (only BEARS offers care during) spring break, winter break and summer break — it’s really a struggle for families oth-erwise,” DaMarto said. “That will be the decision-maker.”
The district will then rehire teach-ers depending on how many students return to the BEARS program.
Although some teachers will be re-hired, they may not get the same posi-tion in the same program, according to Cathy Campbell, president of Berkeley Federation of Teachers.
“If the BEARS program is expanded from its current really shrunken form ... it might actually be a current pre-school teacher that’s next on the se-niority list,” she said.
The Oakland Unified School District faces similar challenges in reconstruct-ing its low-income child care program following cuts made at seven school sites.
“The shuffling around of students has created less demand for enroll-ment, so it’s going to be significantly more challenging to get all the mon-ey we could receive,” said Troy Flint, spokesperson for the Oakland district. “While our eligibility for funding has been fully restored, it’s not clear if we will receive all those funds.”
Flint said the district is looking to rehire the teachers that were laid off, but it is not a “lock-solid guarantee” because the district may not be able to enroll as many students as it had be-fore the budget crisis.
“I’m reasonably confident we will be able to restore (the programs), but I don’t think it’s going to occur as quick-ly as anyone would like,” he said.

Man Arrested in Connection With Two Incidents
Officers from the Berkeley Police De-partment arrested one man in connec-tion with two separate incidents that occured on Southside Wednesday night after the suspect allegedly brandished a knife at a Berkeley resident and later resisted arrest following a fight.
At approximately 8:46 p.m., Ruben Sigala, a 19-year-old Alameda resident, refused to leave the lawn of the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity house on Chan-

ning Way after being asked to leave by one of the residents.
When more residents of the frater-nity house came outside, Sigala stepped back, allegedly pulled out a switchblade knife and reportedly said, “OK, let’s do this,” while pointing the knife at the group, according to Berkeley police Sgt. Mary Kusmiss.
She said the resident who had first asked the suspect to leave immediately called 911 to report what he said was a seemingly intoxicated male. Sigala began to walk away from the house, and the
resident followed him at a safe distance but lost him before the police arrived.
After leaving the fraternity house, Si-gala was found at Durant and Telegraph avenues at around 11:52 p.m. by officers responding to a 911 call regarding a fight.
Kusmiss said that as officers tried to detain Sigala, who was bleeding from his face and nose, he allegedly yelled and charged at the officers.
“The suspect, then in the presence of the officers, ripped off his shirt and con-tinued to walk toward them,” she said.

3OPINION & NEWS Friday, October 22, 2010The Daily Californian
I think that the word “offense” is obsolete in the English language. All it does, I would argue, is unnec-
essarily escalate problems, many of which would otherwise be easily solv-able.
This isn’t to say that I advocate spineless acquiescence to the whims of others. Rather, I oppose the personal element of offense and the reactionary element that often comes with it.
Indeed, I would say that taking offense is a very self-oriented thing to do. It is often founded in a narrow per-spective focused on the individual’s sit-uation and precious little else. Some-times it features a refusal to consider possible alternatives and views, and occasionally it stems from the degrada-tion of a wider issue to a personal level based on unique circumstance. Offense, to summarize, can often fail to see or acknowledge the existence of the bigger picture.
Equally often though, offense is rooted in global standards. Whatever its origins, offense is legitimized by the “rightness” of the offended’s motivation. For example, if someone were to call you stingy, and you were to be offended on the grounds that it was factually untrue, this would be justified. Political correctness institutionalizes these rules for interaction.
However, I would claim that even in the above situation, subjective offense and, more specifically, the declaration of offense, are not necessary in the con-text of healthy public debate.
Admittedly, on a personal level, voic-ing offense can be justified — after all, relationships go nowhere with a back-log of suppressed antagonism attached.
However, in the public arena, by escalating situations through hysterical accusations and howls of criticism, offended parties can create a fog of war that obscures the facts and creates vicious partisanship.
Opposition, on the other hand, is perfectly valid, productive and worth-while. It is based not on personal issues but on something broader: perceptions of universal right and wrong, for exam-ple. Opposition does not carry the bit-terness of a reaction to a personal insult and as a result is more level-headed and open-minded. In contrast to the hazy escalation that can be caused by publicizing offense, voicing one’s oppo-sition can stimulate debate and ulti-mately the constructive evolution of ideas and consensus.
This is the crux of my opposition to offense: voicing offense is unproductive and often negative compared to the progressive, more diplomatic voicing of opposition on objective grounds.
In fact, far beyond being unproduc-tive, vocalizing offense can actually block and stagnate public discourse in its reactionary closed-mindedness.
The political world is full of exam-ples, perhaps the most contemporary, relevant and sensitive of which is the Ground Zero Mosque, also known as Park51, debate.
Bearing this in mind, I do not dis-cuss it with the intention to offend.
Such is the political escalation that the notion of “offense” can inject onto a situation. Sarah Palin had only to tweet
“Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real” to know that supporters would flock to her side.
Let me make it absolutely clear at this stage that I believe that the mem-ory of those who died in the 9/11 attacks should be wholly respected, whatever happens in the area sur-rounding Ground Zero.
However, I believe that to effectively manage the situation, one has to tran-scend the individual costs of the catas-trophe. Not to ignore them, but to look at them in the larger context of the event as a brutal terrorist attack against the American way of life.
This is a way of life that, among its foremost principles, includes equality of man, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the right to private prop-erty.
Now, if the mosque were built near the 9/11 site, it would fully endorse
these principles. It would embrace diversity in a way that the executors of 9/11 are far too weak to replicate.
For this reason, this is precisely the thing that Manhattan should allow to happen.
The building of Park51 would show that America is not going to allow itself to be scared into reactionary panic but is instead going to strengthen the very qualities the terrorist attacks sought to destroy.
I oppose those who take offense at the notion of the Park51 mosque because I believe their offense to be too small-scale and too focused on individ-uals over the larger-scale objective con-text.
If those opponents of Park51 were just that — opponents — then their views would not be distorted by (under-standable and justifiable) subjective emotion.
In short, although politicians should strive to prevent further emotional tur-moil, they should do so in a more rea-soned and less reactive manner.
Blocking the construction of Park51 would cause religious tension, not coop-eration, and would endorse narrow per-spectives as a means of legitimizing pol-icies.
This is a difficult growing process for America. Some of us may wish these developments were not coming through at all, but come through they must. The benefits will be felt in the long run, and resistance will only cause future pain.

Opposing the Offensive PUMP: System Can Remove Water During FloodsFRom FRont
such as an earthquake — compromises the city’s primary water source, its fire hydrant system, department and city of-ficials said at the demonstration.
“It’s an ideal technology for the to-pography of Berkeley,” Fire Chief Debra Pryor said. “If catastrophic damage oc-curs, we have a backup water supply, an alternative means of suppressing fires.”
According to Johan Kramer, sales manager for Hytrans Systems, the sys-tem is more efficient than conventional methods of pumping water because it does not rely on “drafting,” a process of sucking water out of a source that wastes up to 70 percent of a pump’s capacity. The Hytrans system — which can be used to remove water during flood emergencies as well as pump water to extinguish fires — is capable of pushing out 200 pounds
of water per square inch.Because the system is mobile and can
deploy six miles of hose, firefighters can protect residences as far away from the San Francisco Bay as the Berkeley Hills. If an emergency occurs, the system can be operational in approximately 30 minutes, Kramer said.
Deputy Fire Chief Gilbert Dong said that past Bay Area earthquakes, such as the one in San Francisco in 1989, have demonstrated that water supply losses — which the new technology guards against — can be very destructive.
“This is what we need to ensure our safety,” he said.
The Hytrans system was paid for by bond money from Measure Q, which Berkeley voters approved in 2000, allot-ting $9.6 million toward increasing the city’s disaster-preparedness.
According to David Orth, former depu-
ty fire chief and the department’s current special projects manager, the motivation to improve the city’s water supply system arose in the early 1990s, but current tech-nologies at the time were too expensive to pursue within the city’s budget.
“At the time we started, this technol-ogy didn’t exist,” he said. “There are a lot of different ways to improve water sup-ply systems, but this system was the most economical and met all of our needs.”
Although New York City uses sev-eral Hytrans pumps, Berkeley is the first city in the United States to purchase a Hytrans system that is capable of pro-tecting all of its occupants. The Dutch technology is also used throughout the Netherlands.
At this time, it is unclear if and how the Hytrans system will be deployed to assist other cities and counties in emer-gency situations.

criMes: man Allegedly Yelled, Charged at officersFRom PAge 2
“The officers tried to gain control of him physically, but he began resisting their attempts at detaining him and was spit-ting blood at them.”
The officer who had taken the bran-dishing report from the Kappa Delta
Rho resident earlier in the night real-ized that the suspect fit the description of the man found at the Telegraph fight.
Kusmiss said the same officer called the resident and drove him to Durant and Telegraph where he positively identi-fied the suspect as the same man who had been on the fraternity’s lawn in possession
of a switchblade earlier that night.Sigala, who has been on probation
since September for possession of stolen property, was booked for violating his probation, as well as for brandishing a weapon, obstructing or resisting police officers in the performance of their du-ties and battery on a police officer.

Research con-firmed that companies hired by the Treasurer’s office voted hundreds of times against shareholder resolutions that promote the social and environ-mental advancement that students in the UC have historically fought for and led.
With a portfolio valued at over $55 billion, a greater amount than the annual GDPs of 136 countries, the University clearly speaks for us as University students, faculty, staff and taxpayers when it takes stances on shareholder resolutions. However, because we are silent, the UC is able, through its investment power, to resoundingly endorse company policies that harm the environment, preserve shameful corporate practices and fail to protect human rights.
While it may be impossible to scruti-nize the specific activities of every com-pany the UC invests in, proxy voting presents the unique opportunity for us to assert our collective social values and
by Farrah Moos use our position as shareholders to encourage corporations to reduce financial risk, protect the environment and honor human rights. In other words, we can and must vote in accor-dance with the social consciousness that is consistent with our mission.
The New York Times article includes a quote from UC Davis law professor Thomas Joo, who argues that the finan-cial security interests of retirement beneficiaries outweigh social responsi-bility. I would argue that this demon-strates a near-sighted vision and inter-pretation of investment. As an investor, one looks to manage risk. By encourag-ing the companies we invest in to adopt policies that take into account factors such as global warming and sustain-ability, we guide them to manage risk and enhance their future endeavors. “The beneficiaries” (faculty and staff) of the retirement fund will in fact find their pensions more financially secure in the long-term.
Furthermore, it seems that we are at odds with our own UC employees who are teaching, researching and working in service of the many positive social causes that lead us to a more just world. Exercising our proxy voting power in a socially conscious way would be supported by UC employees on both
SIJIA wAng/COnTRIBUTOR
moral and financial grounds. Demanding a change in proxy voting
practice is not only necessary but also is well within our rights as students. Our fees go into the retirement pool each year, and, as stakeholders, we must demand accountability. The University’s proxy voting policies and actions reflect on us and on the people of California. We cannot let our forward-thinking academics, research, advocacy and other efforts be invalidated and under-mined through the negligence of the Regents in adhering to their own proxy voting guidelines.
We must demand the Regents pay attention to this issue, especially as they raise our fees to help finance these investments. As a member of UC for Responsible Investment Coalition (UC RIC), I urge you to raise your voice. Write a letter to the Regents demand-ing that they adopt a Committee on Investor Responsibility to ensure that we follow our own proxy-voting guide-lines. Advocate to keep the Treasurer’s office accountable through promoting student perspective in the Investments Committee.
Let us not accept that the UC name and investment portfolio are being used to support positions that are neither in the UC’s nor the global community’s best interest.

While many compare politics to pageantry, and candi-dates often exchange rhe-
torical blows, actual fighting cannot be considered a normal part of any race. Incredibly, a recent confronta-tion between former District 4 coun-cilmember candidate Eric Panzer and incumbent Jesse Arreguin's chief of staff, Anthony Sanchez, ended in alleged assault. The inci-dent cannot be described as anything but ridiculous and is a sad commen-tary on Berkeley’s political scene.
Panzer was holding a sign sup-porting Measure R at Sunday’s Spice of Life Festival, which he carried over to a No on Measure R booth where Sanchez and Arreguin were located. Sanchez approached Panzer and the two exchanged words before Sanchez allegedly tore the sign from the former’s hands. A preexisting wound Panzer had on his hand was reportedly reopened, causing him to bleed. Sanchez and Arreguin left the festival before four officers from the Berkeley Police Department arrived on the scene.
The confrontation is bad enough, yet the subsequent and contradicto-
ry accounts of it make the whole affair that much worse. It is prepos-terous that Panzer equates a reopened cut to assault, even if he claims that Sanchez’s alleged actions were unpro-voked. Arreguin and Sanchez say that Panzer was aggressive and threatening, respectively. Yet neither stayed to deal with the aftermath, even though one was accused and the other was a witness. The situation as a whole was entirely unprofessional, petty and even clownish.
While this is an isolated incident, it should have never happened in the first place. Sadly, this is not the first occurrence of physical altercation even this year. Last spring, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates pushed a protester away at an advisory meeting. Like last Sunday’s, the incident occurred at a public city event.
All of these individuals are sup-posed to present themselves as civi-lized and rational officials, not 12-year-olds throwing tantrums at recess. With differing accounts of what actually occurred, only one thing is clear: This behavior is unac-ceptable for anyone in the Berkeley community, let alone its leaders.
Skeptics have consistently wor-ried that UC Berkeley’s part-nership with British Petroleum
is a slippery slope to biased research ever since the campus won part of a $500 million grant from the compa-ny in 2007. Now, at least one inde-pendent researcher’s report claims that BP’s interests have indeed spilled over to compromise the credibility of the campus.
Jennifer Washburn investigated 10 collaboration contracts between leading energy companies and uni-versities. Her findings yielded several conclusions after examining this spe-cific campus, including the belief that BP will “exert excessive influence over UC Berkeley’s research portfo-lio” and that language in the contract between the two institutions is trou-bling.
While this concern is legitimate, we disagree with the report’s seem-ingly logical leap. Just because the campus could be influenced as a result of contract wording does not mean that it must be happening. Washburn’s presented evidence is not concrete enough to convince us that BP is affecting research.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that UC Berkeley would turn down the mil-lions of dollars from BP’s grant. Public funds continue to fall short of expectations — the university as a whole received roughly $600 million less from the state than the projected need for this fiscal year. We realize that public money and private grants are not interchangeable sources of fiscal support, and BP’s contribution would not likely be replaced by any other source of funding.
Still, this report illuminates the need to revisit deals like the one the campus has with BP so that these agreements can be more acceptable and address critics’ fears. We also hope that other investigations will be conducted to uncover more conclu-sive data, if it exists. The campus community deserves to know if and how research is being affected.
Additionally, the fact that the report spurred the campus to issue an eight-page rebuttal is an entirely positive result of her investigation. More transparency is needed from the campus on its partnership with BP, and Washburn’s efforts reflect a need for vigilance in this issue.

News iN BriefMan Assaulted, Robbed on Southside’s Regent Street
A 22-year-old man was robbed and assaulted as he was walking home Monday on Southside at approxi-mately 11:45 p.m.
The victim was walking into his apartment complex on the 2500 block of Regent Street when two men
approached him from behind and pulled him to the ground, according to Berkeley Police Department Sgt. Mary Kusmiss.
As one suspect repeatedly kicked him, the victim dropped his $600 G2 solar cell phone, which the other sus-pect picked up before running down Regent, Kusmiss said.
One suspect remained and contin-ued to beat the victim, who fought
back and kicked the remaining sus-pect but was immediately punched in the face. As the victim started to bleed, the second suspect fled on foot, according to Kusmiss.
The victim entered his apartment and called 911. Berkeley police offi-cers checked the area but did not find the suspects.
Kusmiss said the Berkeley Police Department will continue to follow up on the robbery, including tracking activity on the cell phone.

Bears Look to Strike Early At San Diego State, UCLA
After last weekend’s split, a victory against San Diego State and a loss to UCLA, the Cal men’s soccer team had a week to prepare for a second appear-ance on the pitch with both teams.
The No. 12 Bears (8-2-2, 4-1-0 in the Pac-10) head down south for a rematch against the Aztecs on Friday and the No. 11 Bruins on Sunday.
Cal dominated San Diego State last Friday (7-5-1, 1-4-0 Pac-10), blanking them 3-0 for the squad’s first victory against the Aztecs in three years.
The match’s first goal came from assists by Davis Paul and Servando Carrasco that opened up an opportunity for A.J. Soares’ to net the ball in the first ten minutes of the half. The goal gave the Bears early edge in ball possession.
“We like to score early because it helps with confidence and momentum,” the Solano Beach native said.
Chris Ortega and Carrasco followed up with goals of their own in the second half of play to tally three unanswered goals by the end of the 90 minutes.
Today’s match will be another shot for Aztec standout scoring threat Raymundo Reza to pressure the Bears offensively. Reza garnered seven unsuc-cessful shots on Cal goalkeeper David Bingham in last week’s contest.
“We definitely talked about (him),” Soares said. “He’s a very dangerous player.”
The diverse scoring front that Cal presents in comparison, however,
by Kelly SuckowContributing Writer
acknowledges that not one particular player carries the team in points.
“It shows we share the ball and every player steps up,” Soares said. “We don’t rely on a single player to get all the points. It gives us options.”
The team’s ability to capitalize on the confidence in one another has helped them to the dominating wins that they enjoyed early in conference play. Should this effort prove fruitful, it will be the first time head coach Kevin Grimes will claim a win in San Diego.
The Bears will also have another look at the team that handed them their second loss of the season, after a month of an unbeaten streak.
According to Soares, it was a back-to-back battle for the duration of the match against UCLA (9-3-1, 4-1-0 Pac-10). The knotted score 0-0 for the entirety of regulation time left the win-ner undetermined until Kelyn Rowe’s shot in the last five minutes of the sec-ond overtime period.
“We hate losing,” Soares said. “Obviously it is not a feeling we would like to have, but we know that if we play like that in other games, we will win more times than we lose.”
The squad has a shot at redemption in Los Angeles however, with successful road performances supporting expecta-tions of another exciting match.
“We learned from our last game, we improved over the week and we are hoping to execute our gameplan when the time comes,” Soares said.

elixir Cal consumes here in Berkeley — and what happens to their opponents.
The week before their humiliation in Berkeley, UCLA marched into Austin, Texas and hooked coach Mack Brown and company. (Yes, Texas is clearly a shell of its former self, but how many people would have pegged Cal to put up a road victory over the Longhorns?)
As has been the case with other middling conference opponents, the Bruins began to self-destruct shortly after entering the Bears’ lair.
This is not to say that Arizona State visits the Bay Area as afterthoughts.
Unlike their hosts, the Sun Devils have shown some fortitude in hostile territory — see the team’s 10-point vic-tory over Washington in Seattle and a near-toppling of No. 10 Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium.
Still, Dennis Erickson’s club seems like the perfect candidate to suffer the same fate as Memorial visitors from Saturdays past.
Arizona State quarterbacks, in par-ticular, have traditionally wilted in the face of blue-and-gold-clad spectators — combining for just three touch-downs to seven interceptions in the team’s last three trips to Berkeley.
Andrew Walter may still remember Cal cornerback Tim Mixon, who returned an interception 58 yards in the Bears’ 2004’s shutout victory.
Rudy Carpenter, as much as he may try to surpress the though, will defi-nitely remember Daymeion Hughes. And Cameron Jordan. Zack Follet, too.
And despite his Big 10 pedigree, current Sun Devils quarterback hasn’t exactly been a model of consistency. His 11 touchdowns? Evened out by 11 interceptions, which have added heavi-ly to the team’s -7 turnover margin.
Not exactly a recipe for success in the place where middle-of-the-pack teams go to die.
So let’s sit back and relax for a week; after all, the Bears head to Corvallis next week.
Cough cough. Sniffle sniffle.
pac-12: Conference Tv Network to be Discussedfrom baCk
with four cross-divisional games.A Pac-12 championship game will be
hosted by the team with the best overall conference record, with the first tie-breaker being head-to-head perfor-mance. Although the commissioner acknowledged there would be logistical difficulties in having less time to plan a conference championship game, he believed the pros outweighed the cons.
“There’s no doubt we may leave some revenue on the table in terms of not playing, guaranteed every year, in a 70,000-seat venue or 90,000-seat venue,” Scott said. “From my perspec-tive, the idea of a collegiate atmo-sphere, a full-house, rewarding the fans that have supported that team every year … were higher priorities.”
The potential for hosting the game in bad weather was a lesser concern.
“This is football,” Crow said. “That was part of the answer also.”
There will be no divisions in any other sport, but both men’s and wom-en’s basketball will adopt an 18-game
schedule that will include six home-and-home conference games and four single-play games. These will rotate within a 10-year calendar.
Equal revenue sharing, a conference first, will be effective in 2012 once the conference finishes negotiating aggre-gated media rights. In years that revenue totals less than $170 million, USC and UCLA will receive a $2 million payout.
The idea of a Pac-12 television net-work was also popular, but will not be addressed after negotiations take place with incumbent partners.
“We’ve got not just financial goals ... that could be addressed through a net-work,” Scott said. “I’ve said all along that one of the main sources of pride for the Pac-10 is our success in Olympics sports, in women’s sports in particular, and I think it’s critically important for us going forward that we give more exposure for our programs.”
Scott expects the 2011 schedules to be available in 30 to 45 days.

Last Saturday, the Cal football team walked dejectedly out of the tunnel of the L.A. Coliseum, its 48-14 loss to USC still fresh and raw.
Walking with the Bears were the Trojans, bathing in the cheers of their home crowd. One team had just erased the memory of its first losing streak in 10 years. The other, still trying futilely to forget the worst halftime deficit in school history.
Heading into Saturday’s game against Arizona State, Cal (3-3, 1-2 in the Pac-10) is threatening to finish with the lowest mark of coach Jeff Tedford’s tenure.
The Pac-10 is now arguably the top conference in the country, and a stiff upcoming schedule provides little room for error. As the Bears step back into Memorial Stadium this weekend, most will likely sense the urgency.
“Yeah, I feel that way,” senior safety Chris Conte said. “Every game in the Pac-10’s rough and it can kind of go either way. There’s no guaranteed wins. We’re not going to have another game where we blow a team out like UC Davis or Colorado ... Every game’s going to be rough.”
The Bears totaled an astounding 104-10 point differential through those first two home games, romping over the hapless Aggies and Buffaloes to raise the hopes for a little-hyped season.
It’s been quite a turnaround since then.
Cal’s conference-best defense was violated by the Trojans. Quarterback Matt Barkley gave a Heisman-worthy performance, throwing five touch-downs in the first half to tie a program record. USC totaled an all-too-easy 602 offensive yards that day — the most given up by a Bears squad since 2001.
“That wasn’t who feel like we are ... I would say that’s a bad game that we had,” Conte said. “It really was just a combination of various things that kind of built up and amounted to, overall, just not a good performance.”
Within the friendlier confines of Strawberry Canyon, the Bears will have

ample opportunity to prove it.The Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2) have exceed-
ed preseason expectations, but have suf-fered through heartbreaking losses of their own. They dropped three straight by a total of 15 points — including losses to No. 10 Wisconsin and top-ranked Oregon — before mustering a 24-14 win over Washington two weeks ago.
Newly hired coordinator Noel Mazzone has revamped the team’s offense, increased the team’s use of the no-huddle and spread to jump-starting its passing attack to second in the Pac-10 — up five spots from 2009.
Still, it’s fair to say that results have been somewhat mixed. Although quar-terback Steven Threet leads the Pac-10 in passing yards per game, he’s matched his 11 touchdowns with a conference-high 11 interceptions.
Kevin Riley, who has thrown an equal number of scores this season, will be starting for Cal as Threet’s counter-part. Tedford stressed that the fifth-year senior will retain his job for the rest of the year unless he gets injured.
Riley likely won’t face a defense as brutal as the one he saw last Saturday, but there’s one player he will have to
keep an eye on: Vontaze Burfict.The sophomore linebacker has his
own share of maturity issues — he headbutted Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz — but wields a frightening balance of power and speed.
If Riley doesn’t end up getting YouTubed, he might get to relive the game-winning drive he led at Arizona State last season.
“Hopefully, we have a lead before that,” he said.”
Bears to Join Pac-10 North, Still to Face L.a. Squads
The Stanford volleyball team is 7-1 in the Pac-10. So is Cal.
The Cardinal’s top outside hitter ranks in the nation’s top-five with over five kills a set. So does the Bears’.
Stanford has the Pac-10’s best offense. Cal has the best defense.
However, even with their uncannily equal statistics, only one squad will be ranked first in the Pac-10 after tonight’s 7 p.m., Big Spike at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif.
“How can you script this better? Playing our cross-town, biggest rival ... It just couldn’t be better. I love it. I’m anxious,” Bears’ coach Rich Feller said. “It’s historic — I don’t think we’ve ever been first place, maybe ever, after three or four of the first matches.”
No. 5 Cal will go up against the con-ference’s most potent offensive weapon, Alix Klineman, varying offensive styles and a front line that is probably the tallest in the country — all reasons why Feller considers the Cardinal (16-1) to be the nation’s best team.
No. 2 Stanford’s offensive attack revolves around its all-world outside hitter Klineman. With a deadly com-bination of range, power and experi-ence, the 6-foot-4 senior hits for a ridiculous .397 percentage and aver-ages a whopping 5.76 kills per set; that’s only one kill fewer than some teams average.
According to senior defensive spe-
by Jonathan KuperbergContributing Writer
cialist Meagan Schmitt, players from the Cal men’s team hit against the Bears (17-1) in practice to simulate big opposing hitters, so she thinks the squad will be prepared for Klineman. Feller isn’t sure that will make much of a difference.
“I’m pretty sure you can’t stop her,” Feller said. “Slowing her down, no one’s done it yet.”
If anybody is going to do it, then it’s the Bears. They rank second in the country in blocking, and boast the Pac-10’s two most prolific blockers in middle hitters Kat Brown and Shannon Hawari. Feller plans to send his two star sophomores to Klineman’s side.
Aside from defending Klineman, Cal will also have to contend with a Cardinal offense that changes mid-match.
“Because they’ve got the size, they can run high and slow if they want,” Feller said. “Or because they’ve got the athletes and the experience, they can run fast and low if they want.”
Not that things will be any easier on the other side of the net.
All of Stanford’s blockers measure over 6-feet tall, its tallest topping out at 6-foot-6. The squad also boasts three back row defensive players that could be “liberos on many teams in the coun-try,” according to Feller.
The rivalry match has a lot of hype for a reason, but the Bears care more about their Pac-10 standing when con-ference season ends than just one game. That being said, they wouldn’t mind winning both.
“It’s great to win right now and be in first place, but it’s even better to be in first place at the end of the season,” Brown said. “So it’d be great if we can win and be in first place now and then just stay there.”Jonathan Kuperberg covers volleyball. Contact him at [email protected].
Senior setter Carli Lloyd needs just two assists against Stanford on Friday night to become the second Bear and ninth Pac-10 player to reach the 5,000 mark in her career.

First Place in Pac-10 on the Line in matchup of Bay area rivals
SAN FRANCISCO — A large, color-coded map was propped up next to Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott dur-ing Thursday’s press conference at the Fairmont Hotel. Cal and Stanford were backed by blue, marked as part of the Pac-12 North. USC and UCLA floated over the gray of the Pac-12 South.
Scott and Michael Crow, Arizona State president and chair of the Pac-10 CEO group, announced the future alignment of the Pac-12, effective July 1, 2011. University presidents and chancellors voted unanimously for the geographical split over what Scott said were about half a dozen other plans — a decision based primarily on preserving traditional rival-ries, along with balancing competitive-ness, fan-friendliness and geography.
“Our ambition is to really broaden the following of this conference on a much more national basis and even global basis,” Scott said. “Top of mind for us in thinking about how to create these divi-sions, how to label them, was simplicity.”
Under the new schedule, both Cal and Stanford will be guaranteed annual games with both Los Angeles schools. The Bears have played the Trojans every year since 1926, and the Bruins every year since 1933.
The Northwest programs will visit Los Angeles once every other year.

Achoo! Sorry about that. Cough cough. Sniffle sniffle.
I apologize again. Just can’t shake off this bug that’s been going around, but it’s slowly dissipating.
On Saturday, we’ll have to see if Cal’s sputtering condition subsides too — and you’d have to think of a whole new term for what ailed it at the Coliseum.
The physical toll was unmistakable: Shane Vereen got his bell rung against the Trojans. Darian Hagan cramped up and required an IV. Chris Conte could barely walk the next morning.
Then, there was the mental break-downs. Bryan Anger’s leg and Marvin Jones’ hands were no longer automatic. Spencer Ladner’s hands never opened.
And we haven’t even started on Cal’s severely wounded pride, still reeling from surrendering the largest halftime deficit in program history.
Luckily, this weekend the Bears come home to Memorial Stadium for a traditionally fail-proof cure — Memorial Stadium.
“It’s nice to be back home,” quarter-back Kevin Riley said during Tuesday’s media press conference. “We’ve been getting on people early and that’s the plan, just get on people early and kind of make them play out of their game.”
Indeed, it’s remarkable the kind of
