GSI Union Positions Filled With No Contest
Following the withdrawal of 13 candidates for leadership positions, a union representing nearly 12,000 Uni-versity of Cal-ifornia aca-demic student e m p l o y e e s a n n o u n c e d Friday that most of 80 union leader-ship positions had been filled in un-contested elections systemwide.
The election held by the United Auto Workers Local 2865 — a union represent-ing readers, tutors and graduate student instructors systemwide — filled most of the empty positions on the union’s Joint Council without opposition after 13 can-didates withdrew earlier in the week to avoid contested elections and “infight-ing,” union members said.
Before the election, the 80-member council — which serves a governing body comprised of head stewards, recording secretaries and unit chairs from each campus as well as the union executive board — had only 28 members, in part due to a historic lack of involvement by rank-and-file union members, said Charlie Eaton, a UC Berkeley graduate student and newly elected union trustee.
But, following the union’s highly con-tested contract negotiations with the UC and contract ratification vote in Decem-ber, mobilization of members resulted in contested elections for many of the posi-tions on campuses until the candidates withdrew, he added.
Graham Raulerson, a UCLA graduate student and union member who was one of those to withdraw, said the reason be-hind not running was to prevent contest-ed elections following the union’s “highly divisive” contract ratification vote.
“There was nothing to be gained in us continuing to fight with people who we ultimately agree with on the impor-tant issue,” Raulerson said. “The hope is that this would allow us to come to-gether and unite as a union so we could focus on what matters — protecting the rights of our members, fighting the budget cuts and the fee increases.”
However, Megan Wachspress, a UC Berkeley graduate student and a newly elected union head steward, said the lack of competition for positions in the elec-tion was troubling because it prevents rank-and-file members from getting in-volved and having a choice in what direc-tion they would like the union to take.
“A contested election would be a chance for union members to talk to discuss with each other what their vi-sion for the union is,” Wachspress said. “We’re really flabbergasted by this uni-lateral decision that basically says that elections aren’t a good thing somehow or that elections aren’t necessary.”
She added, however, that while the lack of contested elections was an issue, the results were still a “victory” in that nearly 31 reform candidates from the Academic Workers for a Democratic Union — an opposition caucus within the union that was against the union’s contract ratification vote last semester —

BART on Track to Replace Train Cars by 2023In order to accommodate for a pro-
jected increase in commuters and up-date a nearly 40-year-old system, the Bay Area Rapid Transit is undergoing an estimated $3.4 billion endeavor to replace BART trains by 2023 — the agency’s largest project since the rail system debuted in 1972.
The New Train Car Project aims to replace BART’s 669 train cars with 700 new ones to account for a pro-jected increase to 500,000 passen-gers per day by 2035, according to BART spokesperson Jim Allison. The current ridership is about 335,000 on an average week day.
The project, which began in 2009, is still in the early planning stages as BART reviews five firms’ design pro-posals for the cars. According to BART Director Lynette Sweet, the design will be chosen sometime this year.
The projected increase in BART rid-ers over the next couple decades calls for train cars that will be able to with-stand time and a great amount of use. Renovations are also necessary due to the fact that the cars are old and need updated technology, Sweet said.
Train car and seat designs could look very different from those cur-rently in place. Changes could include three doors per car — instead of two — different seat size and material, more standing space with fewer seats and more room for bicycles and luggage, Sweet said.
“We want decent seats, we want comfortable seats,” she said. “We’re

Assembly OKs Funds for Student Liaison to Operational Excellence
The Graduate Assembly approved funding for the creation of a student li-aison to Operational Excellence Thurs-day in an effort to increase student en-gagement, though the position must also be approved by the initiative.
Staffed as a designate of Gradu-ate Assembly President Miguel Daal, the liaison would in effect replace his role as a student representative to Op-erational Excellence — a cost-cutting campus initiative aimed at saving $75 million annually.
Creation of the position came after the Student Operational Excellence Com-mittee’s proposal for a Student Com-munications Coordinator — a similar position to the assembly’s liaison that the student committee asked the campus to fund — was rejected by the initiative.
“This would put more energy behind the effort to close the information gap between students and the OE leader-ship,” Daal said.
Leaders from the initiative could not be reached for comment as of press time.
The assembly’s liaison would serve on the student committee — potentially even becoming the committee’s chair, according to Cooperative Movement Senator Elliot Goldstein, who sits on the committee — but would be funded by the assembly. Philippe Marchand, internal coordinator for the Graduate Assembly, said about $1,600 has been allocated for the semester to pay the liaison.
Daal said the liaison would ideally increase student engagement, saying the initiative’s own student engage-

ment plan was not adequate on the grounds of it “being passive.”
“Communication has been poor,” Goldstein said. “There needs to be a way to translate the OE lingo into a vocabulary that students can under-stand and can see how OE will impact them.”
Daal said he could have someone appointed as early as Tuesday to fill the role, though the assembly may still be waiting for official approval. If the ini-tiative rejects the position, Daal said he may still need assistance to “effectively communicate student preferences and interests” to initiative directors, but the designate would not be able to at-tend any official initiative meetings.
“We can take the passive type of student engagement plan and employ somebody to make connections to it — even though those connections are not inside the inner workings of the OE leadership mind,” Daal said.
Though the position would be filled by a graduate student, Daal said they could easily act as a representative for undergraduate interests as well.
“I definitely think it’s a big step for-ward,” said CalSERVE Senator Court-ney McDonald. “But even talking to friends and students, a lot of people still don’t know about Operational Excellence, which is a big problem be-cause it’s affecting everyone.”
Goldstein said further ideas for stu-dent engagement in the initiative will be discussed when the student com-mittee meets again on Thursday.

moving some of the seats at the front to give more standing room.”
Some BART passengers said they would like to see changes to replace the old and dirty seats, which were installed in 1972 and refurbished in 1995.
“The seats need to be more comfy,” said UC Berkeley student Anna Par-sons. “They are dirty-looking.”
She added that power sockets in the new train cars for longer rides, like those on Amtrak trains, would be con-venient.
While BART is considering install-ing smaller seats in the new trains, Sweet said the current seats, at 22 inches wide, are large by industry stan-dards. Boston and Washington, D.C. metro system seats are 18 inches wide, while Los Angeles metro seats are 17 inches wide.
Allison said the look and dimen-sions of the new seats are in the hands of whichever firm is chosen to design the train cars, though BART has been reaching out to the public to learn rid-ers’ preferences.
“Certainly input from the public is going to be a very important part of the final decision,” he said.
Preliminary public input has al-ready shown a strong preference in seat material.
“One of the things we’ve heard loud and clear is that the hard plastic seats wouldn’t be the right thing for BART,” Sweet said, adding that vinyl is a pos-sibility.

Progress With Measures S and T Tripped Up by Commission Delay
Despite the recent passage of two medical marijuana ballot measures, the city of Berkeley appears to be at a standstill, handicapped by a delay in reestablishing the Medical Cannabis Commission — the apparatus that will set standards through which the city will accommodate a larger medical marijuana community.
Measures S and T, which were ap-proved by voters in November, entail levying a tax on the sale of medical cannabis, allowing for the develop-ment of six cultivation sites, the con-struction of a new dispensary and the reconstitution of the Medical Cannabis Commission.
Measure S, which levies a 2.5 per-cent tax on the sale of medical can-nabis, went into effect Jan. 1 and is likely to provide the city with about $300,000 in the current fiscal year and about $460,000 for fiscal year 2012, according to city spokesperson Mary Kay Clunies-Ross. However, Measure T changes to city policy have not been implemented, given that the Medical Cannabis Commission has yet to be fully reconstituted.
All members of the Berkeley City Council, including Mayor Tom Bates, are expected to appoint commu-nity members to the commission, though only Councilmembers Gor-don Wozniak and Max Anderson had submitted their appointments as of Thursday.
by Sarah MohamedStaff Writer
According to Clunies-Ross, the city has not set a deadline for commission appointments. She said the council’s winter recess — which extended from Dec. 15 to Jan. 17 — is a possible reason for the delay.
The commission was set to have a meeting Jan. 20, but the meeting was cancelled since the commission had only two appointed members.
Until the rest of the council appoints commissioners, plans to implement other components of Measure T will not go forward, given that the commis-sion itself will set the guidelines for the permit process to raise the city’s quota from three medical marijuana dispen-saries to four and develop six growing facilities.
The lack of progress in Berkeley’s medical cannabis distribution reform also comes at a time when the city’s dispensaries are fighting the possible requirement of hundreds of thousands of dollars in retroactive taxes.
The Berkeley Patients Group, one of the oldest dispensaries in California, may owe the state $6 million in taxes on its medical marijuana sales from 2003 to 2007.
According to Brad Senesac, the dis-pensary’s chief marketing officer, the group, along with other dispensaries in the state, sold medical marijuana for many years much like a pharmacy sells medicine — that is, untaxed.
“We do have a retail store, so we were collecting taxes there, just not on the medical cannabis,” Senesac said. “We

3OPINION & NEWS Monday, February 7, 2011The Daily Californian
It was my childhood dream to be an adult.
I remember when I was six years old, on the eve of my seventh birthday, tucked up in bed with Dogger (the stuffed dog), watching the clock near midnight, fraught with anticipation. Never, ever, would I be six again. It had been such a good year. I had lost both front teeth. I had learned to read. My portfolio of beanie babies had seen considerable growth.
While contemplating my own mortality, I suddenly caught notice of my hand. There it was, looking pretty much the same as usual. But some new horror lay in its distance. With my arm stretched out, that hand seemed, on Seven’s Eve, to be so much further away from me than it once was. I dared to look under the covers for my feet. (I assume the high visibility was made possible by a nightlight, or maybe I was wearing night vision goggles.)
There my feet were, toes all in order, but they, too, had begun their escape from my reach, marching away like fleeing soldiers and taking my legs with them. I had given them no orders to retreat.
I knew then that it wouldn’t be long before I was old and dead. The idea of it terrified me but also exhilarated me. I looked forward to the days of grown-uppedness and the bounties it offered — having my own phone. Driving a car. Living on a vineyard with my best friend and 99 kittens.
Three months away from gradua-tion, I’ve already attained two of those three dreams. But grown-uppedness feels just as far away as it ever did. As far away as my arms and legs felt the night I became aware of their vigilante growth.
So who the balls am I?
After more than three years lurking as a bitter critic in the unappreci-
ated (but elegant) pages of the Arts & Entertainment section, I am sallying forth to the Opinion page to be your Monday columnist and to try to figure out a few things about Berkeley, the world and growing up.
A bildungscolumn.So here I am, free and liberated
and theme-less, running naked with my words across page three. Made bold by my own proximity to the Sodoku.
I plan to write some columns that are next to meaningless. (I have one up my sleeve about how playing pool made me a douchebag.) You will learn nothing from these columns, but I hope they make you laugh so hard you shoot milk out of your nose. Or, more likely, that you chuckle softly and briefly in your head.
But I also want to write about the media, about politics, about society. Maybe I can get some fun comments along the way. (If there isn’t someone telling me to go fuck myself, I haven’t done my job.)
I wish I could promise you that I won’t suck. But sucking happens sometimes.
Instead I will lay down some
ground rules for our semester together, darling.
I’ve been reading these columns since my lunch-for-ones in the Unit 3 dining commons, when The Daily Californian was my only friend. And I know that at times, these columns have been, well, pretty terrible. And some have been great. I mean, hot damn. There have been some great columns in these pages.
But there have also been terrible ones. Usually for one of two
reasons.The first is when the writer assumes
that everyone at Berkeley has shared a common, cutesy experience.
“We all remember how hard it was to choose the best frat party during welcome week. No one has any idea what they’re doing after graduation. You know how much your mom cried when you moved in to the dorms? We can all agree that college is a time for anonymous BJs.”
Or, equally irritating, is the columnist who assumes that he or she has lived some fate-defying college experience of crazy, crazy, adventure that people would be shocked, simply shocked to read about:
“I’ve been known, at times, to drink alcohol. I studied abroad, and when I was in Paris/Barcelona/London, I would stay up really late and literally drink alcohol. I’ll admit it, sometimes I listen to corny pop songs, especially after I have been drinking alcohol.”
If you ever catch me falling into one of these traps, becoming boring, cliche or — worst of all — masturba-tory, please alert me to my hypocrisy. Accost me in public, send me a strongly-worded email, anything to save me from myself. You will be my army of editors.
I don’t want to pretend, ever, that I understand what everyone does or does not feel about their time at Berkeley. Because, my friends, we are a beautiful rainbow of tens of thousands of realities and experiences and opinions. There is someone here who doesn’t remember the last time he laughed, and someone else who doesn’t remember the last time she cried. And we all have a very hard time understanding one another.
I know I was better at understand-ing people out when I was six. I was a creature of empathy then. Now, I may be a selfish wreck, but at least I have my phone and my vineyard of kittens.

UC Davis Professor Attacked by Mubarak Supporters in Egypt
UC Davis assistant professor of comparative literature Noha Radwan was attacked in Egypt — where she had returned to in order to care for her parents — last Thursday for voicing to international journalists her support for ending President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year reign.
Radwan returned to Cairo on Jan. 29 and on Feb. 2 was beat up — badly enough that her wounds required stitch-es — by pro-government supporters af-ter she had given an interview with the international news agency Democracy Now!, whose offices are close to Tahrir Square, the main site of demonstration. The attack came on the ninth day of pro-tests against Mubarak’s government.
“Somebody caught on to the fact that I was trying to get into (Tahrir Square) and then they yelled to the mob, ‘She’s with (the protesters), get her!’” Radwan said in a Feb. 3 interview with Democracy Now!. “Two big guys came and held onto my arms and ... handed me on to a mob that started beating me and pulling my hair. They ripped my shirt off.”
In the interview, Radwan said that she needed stitches on her head after the attack, which also left her with nu-merous scrapes and bruises.
“I underestimated what they were capable of,” she said in the interview.
When Radwan left the Democracy Now! office, pro-government supporters surrounded her and asked if she was pro- or anti-Mubarak, according to Sarah
by Jordan Bach-LombardoStaff Writer
Moussa, a representative of the Arab-American community in Sacramento. When Radwan didn’t respond and tried to walk away towards the square, the Mubarak supporters ran her down.
“(The attack) dispels the myth that the violence is happening on both sides,” Moussa said. “It is definitely one way. Mubarak people are inciting against pro-testers and journalists alike.”
The Sacramento chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Rela-tions held a press conference on Feb. 4 in the state capital, at which Radwan spoke over the phone to condemn the violence in Egypt. State Senate Presi-dent pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg and other community members also spoke at the press conference.
“We ... should be inspired by the courage of those in Egypt willing to risk everything for a chance at a better life,” said Steinberg at the press confer-ence. “I stand with them in their call for free and fair elections and the right to have a voice in their own destiny and their own futures.”
While extreme upheaval is occurring in Cairo, the atmosphere in some rural areas was relatively peaceful, according to Hans Barnard, an assistant adjunct professor in the UCLA Near Eastern Languages and Cultures Department and research instructor on the team of UCLA archeologists that was evacu-ated from Egypt on Feb. 1 more than two weeks ahead of schedule.

Students Aim to Harness Energy from Elliptical Machines in rSf
Few gym-goers, racing against the treadmill belt or pedaling up a simulated hill, consider the energy required to power their daily workout — most are looking to reduce their waistlines, not their carbon footprint. But starting this summer, Berkeley patrons can do both.
UC Berkeley senior Maha Haji is lead-ing a student-run project — supported mainly by the campus Green Initiative Fund — to harness the human-generated energy created from exercise by retrofit-ting the elliptical machines at the campus Recreational Sports Facility to help cut back on its electricity consumption. And Haji said she hopes to eventually set up and power iPod charging stations on the stationary bikes.
“(Users) can feel how much energy they’re outputting,” Haji said. “It’s a lit-tle more direct result of your workout rather than losing weight.”
For over a decade, frequent exercise has been championed as the silver bul-let of health woes, but it was not until recently that people realized gyms may be exacerbating environmental health woes. Like most gyms, the RSF, with its whirring machines and buzzing lights,

as with all great works, the idea was born from one great line: “he humped me and then he dumped me.” Writer-performer
thomas John’s “the lady on the Wall: a Puppet noir” cracks the case of the death of humpty dumpty, an abandoned shell of a woman left by a lover to grieve on a wall and die. But was it murder?
in a novel take on an old nursery rhyme and "the Maltese falcon," the play (directed by dan Grif-fiths) features an all-ovum cast, starring John as narrator and puppeteer, alongside a cast of egg, egg, rot-ten egg, hard-boiled egg and — yes, please — a little bit of bacon on the side.
Performed in San francisco’s Garage theater this past weekend for an encore presentation, the show chronicles the life (and death) of Maude Meringe, a.k.a. humpty dump-ty. With a scrambled assembly of charac-ters featuring Bob, the hardboiled detective, and sus-pected murderer the Poacher, “lady on the Wall” delves into the underbelly of Carton City, embracing sex, murder, mystery and mayhem; it’s enough to surpass any PG-13 rating.
But the play’s very appeal is in an intentionally amateur presentation, with a d.i.y. aesthetic that whips together the unscripted with the intentional: here, a cracked (dead) egg is never too much to expect, whether by accident, or murder. fashioned as a children’s production for adults, “lady on the Wall” counters bawdy humor with witty pun and tongue-in-cheek noir sophistication.
Part of the show’s success is in its ability to appeal to the viewers’ juvenile humor, while still remaining thoughtful. Childlike, low-budget, call it what you will — the stars here are egg-heads with drawn-on faces, who lay low in cardboard cartons

and get out of slippery situations with a sideways roll.
the puppeteer himself commands his own share of the limelight, a well-timed performer who wins over audiences with a nerdy, know-it-all allure. it’s clear, too, that this egg-noir is the product of an off-beat mind: the idea for the production came during John’s work on another puppet piece, a reality tV-inspired take on franz Kafka’s “the
Metamorphosis.” John hoped “to do a play where (he) could break the puppets,” he wrote in an email, and “lady on the Wall” was born out of “trying to justify an egg saying, ‘he humped me and dumped me.’”
“lady on the Wall” is just another of John’s new-take-on-old-works: on february 11th, he will present at the Booksmith in the haight, as part of its “literary Clown foolery: Books Meet Clowns” event. his work? a revised ver-sion of amy Chua’s memoir, “Battle hymn of the tiger Mother.” a burlesque interpretation, “the Battle hymn of the american Juggler” features John in Chua’s place: “i don’t let balls play with other balls,” he said. he also rips up their birthday cards.

performer, John in “lady” is a relatable act of sophomoric sophistication, balancing cool reserva-tion with nervous mystique. the skepticism an egg-puppet-noir inspires is offset by his performance.
engaging and accessible charm permeates the 45-minute play, one that encourages audience participation and off-the-cuff improvisation. and though the end is wrapped up in telling more than showing, John manages to eke out an impressive amount of captivating show — for a guy with a couple of eggs on a desk.

she soon discovers that she needs help, too. from there, “Collapse” continues on a break-neck course of mistaken identity, drug plots and lots and lots of innuendos that attempts to exorcise the misery with comedy.
it’s a small miracle that Moore turns such downer subject matter (infertility, infidelity and instability) into a power-ful comedy. rather than avoid these particularly nasty subjects Moore dives right into the chasm, mining the pain and suffering for every last drop of ca-tharsis. the jokes play on hannah and david’s pain but also on flower child Susan’s blind optimism and outrage.
this sort of comedy, one that mixes menace with dick jokes, requires spe-cial talent. fortunately director Jessica heidt has assembled a crack team for the job.

another downside to the eco-nomic crisis of the last decade is art that struggles to maintain
relevancy by way of ham-fisted deal-ings with the recession. fortunately, “Collapse,” aurora theatre Company’s newest production, is not among these guilty blue-collar panderers (cough “the town” cough “the fighter”). the new comedy by allison Moore fires on all cylinders and leaves other recession-literature in the dust with its fast-paced jokes and well-designed subtext.
“Collapse” also has the advantage of being set in the Midwest, the nation’s moral center. it depicts Minnesotans hannah and david trying to hold onto their jobs, marriage and sanity. their struggles are distinct but intertwined: hannah is coping with a miscarriage while david tries to hide a case of Post-traumatic Stress disorder. in the mid-dle of an already strained household enters Susan: hannah’s sister, a new age-y casualty of California’s economy. Susan’s open-ended stay causes the already stressed couple to go off the deep end. When hannah is driven to find a support group for her husband, a series of errors finds her mixed up with a seductive 12-Stepper named ted, and

At SF’s Garage Theater, Puppet Noir Play Shells Out Performance Worth Savoring otis Jackson Jr. showed up friday night to Sf’s 103 harriet
for a highly-anticipated dJ set — not the venerated producer Madlib, not the crate-diggin’ Beat Konducta, not the latchkey
rogue lord Quas, nor any of his other many aliases. he arrived as himself, unwilling to play the part of a persona, listlessly toying with his beats. What was supposed to be a celebratory reception for a rare appearance turned into a battlefield, as hip hop’s cult hero fended off catcalls, retorted with his own boos and left the crowd questioning what the hell had just happened.
how was it that an artist could release one album per month for his Medicine Show series and yet not dish out a steady groove for a two-hour set? he made it plain that it was not for lack of skill, but a refusal on his own part to perform, a “joke” as he continually reminded audi-ence members. “i’m just fuckin’ with you,” assured Madlib between f-bombs thrown his way. Well the joke didn’t pan out, not even for a devoted fan such as myself.
the show started off slowly, and from there only dragged itself to exhaustion. Missing were the odd quirks and curveballs of his music. What we got in the beginning was a ton of low-end and some fragmented bits, often interrupted by unintelligible shout-outs. at first it seemed harmless, part of the routine — gotta rep J dilla, flying lotus, West Coast, the usual suspects. But he really never stopped, like a blip on a Cd. the moment the music was about to take flight Madlib would halt, spew out some more names, and let the beat splinter to pieces. it was as if he were denying any sense of momentum, allowing it to creep in slowly, eyeing it in his periphery only to suddenly shaft it altogether. “let’s play some real shit for you,” Madlib said to the au-dience. yet he wouldn’t budge. not even once.
But this is Madlib, so you wait; you hone your patience in hopes that there might be a signal amid the noise. and i waited, at first patiently, then desperately, until the performance simply plateaued. Was this really him, “america’s Most Blunted”? the papers and nuggets were sprawled next to

album review
It seems as if Cut Copy have found a comfortable niche with their critical and commercial success. But instead of following the
sure-fire formula that has worked for them in past albums, the Australian quartet continues to ex-periment with their latest release. Zonoscope constantly entertains, brimming with exotic sounds and blithe synths. Clocking in at over an hour, it certainly makes for a daunting listen but each carefully crafted hook and bassline is hard to resist.
The drifting notes of Zonoscope brings back a nostal-gia for an earlier age. Unlike contemporary electronic music that depends on hard-hitting, in-your-face campaigns, Cut Copy opt for subtle hints of differ-ent styles to form layered, cohesive pieces. The aurally pleasing, almost comforting delicacy creates a dreamy atmosphere with slow-and-steady as its focus. Cut Copy know how to make us wait but the wait is worth it. The exuberant “Need You Now” begins with a cheerful disco beat, interlaced with tropical chimes, fashioning a lazy buildup to the heart of the track. “Sun God” takes it to even further extremes, boasting 15 minutes of pure synth-heavy goodness.
Perhaps the charm of Zonoscope is its lack of confor-mity. None of the songs can be labeled as “predictable,” since Cut Copy’s genius lies in their uncanny ability to give idiosyncratic personalities to each track. From the Joy Division-esque “Corner of the Sky” to the psyche-delic twangs of “Alisa,” there is never a dull moment. Unlike bands who simply churn out renditions of previ-ously acclaimed hits, Cut Copy take a more progressive approach. Zonoscope, thanks to its addictive mixes and well-crafted art, manages to strike both the dancing chord and the music elitist in us.

Paff has the traditionally lame job of playing it straight, in which she does a marvelous job. Yet she can also toss a few mean jabs at the men in the show.
The recipient of these barbs is often Aldo Billingslea’s charming Ted. Ostensibly a foil for Paff ’s character, Billingslea steals the show in “Col-lapse.” Its not just the various put-ons and come-ons that distinguish him, his overall performance is outstanding. His confidence as Ted is at first attractive but soon it becomes apparent that he is scared shitless, too. Special kudos for his practiced dialect, a folksy speech that betrays no simplicity, only a beguil-ing scent of experience.
But for all this comedy and drama, “Collapse” also has a keen and mea-sured sense of history. The play is set in the aftermath of the economic meltdown of 2008. But there are few direct references to the event. Moore doesn’t even use the word recession once. Instead the playwright invests her historical commentary into the source of David’s PTSD, the collapse of a bridge over the Mississippi. Hannah and David trace all their woes back to this event, a subtle yet powerful metaphor for the financial market’s collapse. It is an ingenious stroke by Moore, to give the cataclysmic although largely abstract event a lethal, terrifying presence.

But when you stretch that out for two hours, it seems to be more of a disrespectful blow than a playful joust. MF Doom may hire an impostor, but Madlib himself was rubbing it in our faces.
Madlib is the genius hovering in the shadows of others, a self-professed behind-the-scenes guy
responsible for supplying some of the most dynam-ic sounds in hip hop. It really would not have taken much to involve the crowd, but instead he opted for the path of self-destruction. Yet it was still unclear as to why he would spurn his own fans, people unhealthily invested in his dense
catalogue of work.Perhaps Madlib did not trust the initial
cheers, as if he came to the conclusion that people bought into his mytho-logical status without knowing why, that admiration had turned into thought-less idolatry. The performance at times
seemed like a game to catch people off guard. He asked who had bought the new Quasimoto album (one that does not exist) and laughed at the cheers. He started his own chorus of “F**k Madlib,” which oddly
enough turned into “Deconstruct Madlib.” Finally, amidst the boos, Madlib challenged the audience in a daring tone, “But you won’t leave.” Tensions of confrontation and mockery swirled in the air. Was he trying to gauge his fans, test their worth? Was
he just drunk from guzzling Crown Royal?
Madlib is first and foremost a producer, not a performer. But
that of course begs the ques-tion, why perform? Why show up to purposefully fail? It’s one thing to meta-phorically lift your middle finger to the audience, but
to leave it hanging there the entire night was
insulting.

just weren’t charging up until 2007 when they changed the legislation and made it retroactive till 2003.”
Berkeley Patients Group may have to account for taxes during years of medical cannabis sales, and as a not-for-profit organization, the group can-not set money aside for rainy days such as these, Senesac said. The dispensary has a hearing with the California State Board of Equalization later this month to address the retroactive taxes.
While dispensaries negotiate with the state and the city waits to move forward with Measure T, the city of Oakland has spent weeks grappling with the idea of allowing the develop-ment of four more commercial growth
sites of medical cannabis.“Oakland is sort of trying to move
toward centralization to large-scale grow facilities rather than having many small growers,” said Dale Gieringer, di-rector of CalNORML, an organization that works to reform California’s mari-juana laws.
Berkeley Patients Group, for ex-ample, Senesac said, receives its can-nabis from patients who grow their own stock and supply the group with the excess. When Berkeley implements Measure T and allows for the build-ing of six industrial growth sites, the sources of cannabis will change for such dispensaries as well.

rsf: Similar ‘Green’ Gyms Have popped Up nationwidefrom pAGE 3
racks up a mammoth of an electricity consumption total — over one million kilowatts each year.
Aiming to change this, Haji and her team of over 15 students, many mechani-cal engineering students, are currently working to build a prototype, which they hope to complete by the end of this semester. By replacing the built-in resis-tance in stationary bikes and ellipticals with a micro-inverter, the power created from the movement of the machines can be converted back into reusable power.
The average person can generate about 100 watts of energy while work-ing out, although that number varies with the intensity of the workout. The retrofitting could reduce the facility’s energy consumption by 10,000 kilo-watts a year, which, according to Haji, is enough to power a small house. But because the RSF is so large in both area and usage — about 100,000 square feet serving around 3,000 users daily — this only covers 1 percent its total usage.
Nevertheless, the UC Berkeley proj-ect continues, looking primarily to edu-cate people about their electricity usage and its effect on the planet.
Haji estimated that each machine would cost about $1,000 to retrofit and would be financed mainly by grants from the Green Initiative Fund — a campus program supported by student fees that provides money for projects that make the campus more sustain-able.
Meanwhile, initiatives like this one, exploiting the energy produced from human movement, continue to pop up across the nation.
In Portland, Oregon, the Green Microgym uses solar panels and exer-cise machines to capture human-gener-ated energy, thereby minimizing the facility’s energy usage and costs. Adam Boesel, founder and owner of the facil-ity, which has been open since 2008, said it uses 85 percent less energy and creates 60 percent fewer carbon emis-sions than a typical gym of its size.
“It doesn’t take energy from the grid; it gives energy back,” he said. “Our gym is the first gym whose whole mindset is to make electricity.”
In 2009, Oregon State University retrofitted 22 elliptical machines, and although the energy reduction is mod-est, like UC Berkeley’s would be, Oregon State Sustainability Coordinator Brandon Trelstad said the project was definitely worth it.
“It’s not just about the power pro-duced but the awareness about conser-vation,” he said. “It’s valuable.”
At his campus, he said, most users gravitate towards the machines that have been retrofitted. Similar results are expected at UC Berkeley — a survey of RSF users last year revealed that people would prefer to use the machines that harnessed energy.
“We know that our community of users are interested in treading lightly on the planet,” said Eric Craypo, com-munications director for the Department of Recreational Sports at UC Berkeley. “I like the idea of getting a workout and adding something back to the grid at the same time.”

Cal Continues Dominating Spring With Dual Victories
Usually when a team faces a top-10 opponent, it tries to be at full strength and in top form in order to be as com-petitive as possible.
The Cal men’s swimming team went a different route this weekend, putting some of its swimmers in off events and declaring others ineligible to score.
No. 1 Cal (4-0) swept its first pair of home dual meets at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The Bears took down No. 8 USC (160-133) on Friday night, and fol-lowed it up with a 113-83 win over Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday morning.
Neither the Trojans nor the Roadrunners could consistently con-tend with the Bears. In both meets, Cal entered its final swimmers as exhibition entries in order to not run up the score. Still, coach David Durden believes there is room for improvement.
“I think our meets have been a little bit closer than maybe what the scores have indicated,” he said. “We just need to keep a forward thinking attitude.”
It’s hard to agree with him, at least on the first part.
Against USC, Cal went 1-2-3 in three events, and took first in nine of 16. Sophomore Tom Shields won all three of his events, taking the 200-yard freestyle, 200 backstroke, and 100 butterfly.
Less than 12 hours after defeating the Trojans, the Bears had an even
by Connor ByrneStaff Writer
more dominating performance against Bakersfield. Cal entered eligible swim-mers in just eight events, yet dropped only one race and went 1-2-3-4 in two others. Senior Nathan Adrian didn’t even compete in any individual events, and only swam the 100 butterfly leg of the 400 medley relay.
“We just wanted the guys to really invest in one particular event,” Durden said, “Not necessarily their main event, but something that will ultimately help them come March.”
For Adrian, that event was the 100 butterfly, which is typically his third event in championship format meets.
Despite all this success, Durden thought his team struggled in some areas, particularly related to having their first pair of meets at home.
“When you’re at home and you swim an event on a Friday, you sort of go back to your normal life and get out of meet mode, and you have to jump back into it the next morning,” Durden said. “I think we struggled with that, but that’s a good thing to struggle with.”
Despite “struggling” on the weekend, the Bears still proved their worth as the top team in the nation.
Having passed all four tests thrown at them thus far, hosting Stanford in two weeks remains the final tune up for the Bears before the Pac-10 Championships, followed by the NCAA Championships, both of which Cal has been pegged a heavy favorite.
“We’re in a great spot. We’re not let-ting expectations cast a shadow on what we’re trying to do,” Adrian said. “We want to blaze our own trail instead of letting people decide what we’re going to do.”

Answer to Previous Puzzle
Emily Csikos opened Cal’s weekend with a hat trick against San Jose State. The junior captain, who totaled eight goals through four games, led the Bears in scoring last spring.
kellen freeman/file
A hat trick is usually pretty impres-sive; someone bothered to come up with a nickname for three goals, after all.
So how much more so are two hat tricks — with another five-goal game tossed in for good measure?
Sophomore driver Breda Vosters poured in 14 goals for Cal in the Stanford Invitational this weekend, buoying her team to a fourth-place fin-ish at the Cardinal’s Avery Aquatic Center. Her last hat trick came in a 10-8 loss to No. 4 UCLA on Sunday.
The Canadian didn’t even set any career highs through the third-ranked Bears’ four games; she scored five goals against Cal State Monterey Bay in an 18-1 win on Jan. 29.
“She’s gone a little bit under the radar, which i think has helped her out a lot,” assistant coach Matt Flesher said. “She’s become a very, very good spot shooter where she sees an opening, she knows how to get her body in position to where she receives the ball, she’s gonna put it in the net.”
Her performance has eased the absence of junior captain Emily Csikos, who scored her first goals of the season this past weekend after recovering from hip surgery. Csikos, who led the team in scoring last year with 69 goals, sat out the Bears’ final game of the tournament.
Also absent in Cal’s loss to the Bruins was goalkeeper Stephanie Peckham, who split time with sophomore Lindsay

Dorst through the tournament. Dorst made five saves against UCLA.
The Bruins scored three times in each of the first three quarters, but the Bears showed some resilience against a veteran group that starts six seniors and a junior.
“We never gave up,” Flesher said. “We were down for the majority of the game. We were tied and then actually went down by a couple of goals, but battled back. It was good. Very good marker of where we stand right now.”
Earlier that day, Cal surged past Arizona State in a 12-8 victory. Vosters matched her season high with five goals in the game, while Peckham balanced the effort with nine saves in the cage.
The Sun Devils, however, aren’t known as a water polo powerhouse. On Saturday, the Bears were up against the top team in the nation in host Stanford. After opening the tournament with a 14-10 win over San Jose State, Cal suf-fered its first game of the season.
The Cardinal jumped ahead quickly in the 10-5 win, scoring four points in each of the first two quarters to build an 8-4 lead. No player scored more than one goal for Cal, while Stanford’s Kaitlyn Lo and Annika Dries notched four and three, respectively.
Stanford went on to win the tourna-ment in a 10-9, triple-overtime thriller over USC.
“Their speed was a good awakening for us,” Flesher said. “Playing a very physical game for 32 minutes and play-ing against a team that played 14 differ-ent girls in the field, so that was defi-nitely a building point.”

M. Hoops: Gutierrez Near Perfect From the FloorFrom bACk
Gutierrez scored 25 points on 8-9 shooting and turned in a tremendous defensive performance, but fouled out with 2:13 remaining in the first over-time. Brandon Smith dished out a career-high 11 assists and hit a clutch 3-pointer, but also missed a critical free throw toward the end of regulation and a wide open layup in the third overtime.
The craziness of the affair overshad-owed a series of tremendous perfor-mances and notable storylines. The
Bears effectively limited Wildcats’ star Derrick Williams, so much so that Montgomery thought his team was per-haps too focused on the forward. In the first half, limited reserve Jordin Mayes hit three three-pointers because of how aggressively the Bears’ defense was col-lapsing on the front-runner for Pac-10 Player of the Year. The sophomore for-ward still scored 12 points and grabbed 18 rebounds.
The Wildcats also received a mag-nificent but still somehow understated
night from sophomore reserve Kevin Parrom, who scored a career-high 25 points, pulled down six rebounds and contributed his fair share of critical plays down the stretch. Arizona coach Sean Miller pointed out Parrom and Jones as the guys that were “making plays for his team.”
But for Harper Kamp and the rest of the Bears, it was about missed chances.
“We had plenty of chances to win,” Kamp said. “We just didn't capitalize.”

yeveLev From bACkthe same player who has struggled so much with knee injuries slogged through all 55 minutes. Kamp’s superb all-around game was on full display, as he complemented his trademark rebounding and defense by continually finding new ways to score in the paint.
I remember Jorge’s signature intangibles, but would wince when he pulled up or had the ball in his hands. Gutierrez missed just one shot from the floor all night against the first-place Wildcats, a remarkable stat line that few may remember after he fouled out in the first overtime.
I remember Allen Crabbe as the hes-
itant freshman who would completely disappear for halves at a time. And here he is, only growing stronger as the game wears on. Having overcome an abysmal shooting night to clinch Thursday’s win over Arizona State, he poured in 21 of his points against Arizona after intermission — including four straight to save a short-handed team late in the first overtime.
I remember being surprised when Brandon Smith even dared to take a jump shot. Now he has drained crucial 3-pointers in back-to-back contests, in addition to his steady performance as the Bears’ point guard.
Most recently, I remember this team mustering just five points in a single half, as well as letting one of
the conference’s worst offensive teams shoot 72-percent from the floor. That same squad is now forcing timely shot-clock violations, while earn-ing Miller’s praise for their offensive execution as “second to none.”
For all of the Bears’ progress, how-ever, the marathon at Haas Pavilion only restated where Cal must improve the most.
From closing out shooters, to finding consistent bench production, to — most importantly — finding a way to “shut the trap door” on future opponents, Mike Montgomery’s Bears still have plenty of room to grow as a team.
And that’s what so exciting.
W. Hoops: bears miss out on Second ChancesFrom bACk
After Mann opened the second half with a jumper, Cal went on an 11-2 run to break open the game. Freshman guard Lindsay Sherbert scored all five of her points during that stretch. She also pulled down five boards in the game and helped the Bears outrebound Arizona State, 33-30.
Sophomores DeNesha Stallworth and Talia Caldwell, Cal’s starting post players, each grabbed eight rebounds in the contest. Half of those rebounds
were on the offensive glass, but the Bears could not capitalize on second chance opportunities, missing several putbacks as the Sun Devils chipped away at the lead.
“I give a lot of credit to Arizona State,” Boyle said. “They were down 12 and came back.”
Stallworth paced the squad with 12 points and Clarendon added 11. Both needed to take nine shots to do so.
As cold as Arizona State was in the first half, it was sizzling in the second,
shooting 54.2 percent after the break.On the other end, Arizona State’s
senior forward Becca Tobin was an efficient 6-for-9 from the field and led all scorers with 14 points. She scored 12 points in the second half after not making a field goal in the first half.
Her layup with 3:43 to go cut the deficit to four. Stallworth answered with a bucket of her own before the Sun Devils scored nine of the last 11 points to close out the game.

cats come through, Bears Buckle in three-Ot thrillerAs the visibly exhausted Harper
Kamp and Allen Crabbe walked away from their post-game interviews, coach M i k e M o n t g o m e r y patted both of them on the back and told them to go sign a u t o g r a p h s . After the two played 107 com-bined minutes, they deserved to be signing as winners.
S a t u r d a y night was a game of five career-highs, 17 lead changes, three overtimes and most importantly, countless missed chances. Despite unbelievable effort and persistence, the Cal men's basket-ball team could not execute at the right time in its 107-105 triple-overtime loss to Arizona (20-4, 9-2 in the Pac-10).
“We had lots of chances to win,” Montgomery said. “We got what we wanted on many occasions and failed to make the play. Arizona seemed to make the play when they needed to.”
The Bears (13-10, 6-5) had several opportunities to clinch the game on Saturday, but missed free throws and botched layups kept the team from winning its biggest game of the season.
Conversely, Lamont “MoMo” Jones may have engraved his name into the psyche of Cal fans after delivering four different game-changing plays that kept his team in the game and eventu-ally willed it to victory,
The smiling, smack-talking sopho-more finished with a career-high 27 points and clearly relished his superstar moment. Jawing with the Cal student section all game and confidently cup-ping his ears with his hands, the Bronx, N.Y., native wanted to make the key play the entire night and succeeded on almost every attempt.
“I’ve played like this my whole life," Jones said. "To other people it might be something new, but to me it’s just another day in the life of MoMo Jones.”

Jorge Gutierrez scored a career-high 25 points on 8-9 shooting and delieverd a stellar defensive performance. The junior guard didn’t play the final two overtimes after fouling out.
karen ling/staff
Sean Miller couldn’t “find enough good things to say about Cal.”
After the horn finally ended the best college basketball game that no one knows about, the Arizona head coach — now having survived a pair of two-point wins over the Bears — declared “any team that plays (Cal) is going to have a fight on their hands.”
In a way, we knew that even before the season started.
A team with a core of hard-nosed players like Jorge Gutierrez, Harper Kamp and Markhuri Sanders-Frison was always going to be scrappy. The Bears, as depleted as their roster was, were always going to put in the effort.
But these past four games, culmi-nating in Saturday’s triple-overtime thriller, was more than about the qual-ity of effort. It revealed just how well this team is starting to play together.
I have come to despise the phrase “improving every game”; along with “winning the second half ” of a blow out, it ranks as the worst excess of coach-speak.
But I couldn’t argue with such an assessment if I heard it now. As bit-terly as Saturday ended for Cal, these past four games have demonstrated the strides that nearly everyone on the Bears has made.
I remember Kamp as the gritty role player who cleaned up misses under-neath. On Saturday at Haas Pavilion,
With only 16 seconds left and his team down by three points, Jones chose not to shoot a 3-pointer and instead drive, draw a foul that would foul Cal center Markhuri Sanders-Frison, and convert the layup and free throw for a 3-point play. After Jorge Gutierrez blocked Kyle Fogg's shot with the game tied at 83, the guard hustled down and fouled Gutierrez by drawing a charge.
On his game-tying 3-pointer, Jones called for a screen that gave him room
to swish the crowd-silencing jumper.Jones’ play overshadowed the hard-
est effort from an already notoriously gritty and physical squad. Kamp, one of three starters to play over 50 minutes, was never substituted and scored a career-high 33 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. Crabbe turned in another tremendous performance, scoring 27 points and converting several key bas-kets in the overtime periods.

sun Devils’ Late three caps hot-shooting half
For 39 minutes and 59-plus seconds, the Cal women’s basketball team was in control on Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately for the Bears, games don’t last 39 min-utes, 59 seconds and change.
Arizona State’s sophomore guard Deja Mann hit a 3-pointer with .01 seconds remaining to complete the comeback and defeat Cal, 45-44, at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe, Ariz.
The Bears (14-8, 6-5 in the Pac-10) led the entire game until the Sun Devils (14-7, 6-5) made back-to-back 3-pointers — first by Mann, then by junior Kimberly Brandon — to tie the game at 42.
Cal point guard Layshia Clarendon sank a pair of free throws after getting fouled on the other end. If Clarendon had ice water in her veins at the charity stripe, then Mann’s were frozen solid when she drained the ultimate bomb less than a minute later.
“It’s just a tough loss,” Bears’ coach Joanne Boyle said. “I’m just disappoint-ed in the heartbreak of a loss. On our part, there were definite miscommuni-cations down the stretch.
“We’re a young team, and we have to learn from it.”
In the first half, the Sun Devils couldn’t find the basket. Their 13 first half points was their smallest output of the season in either half. The squad shot 17.4 percent in the half, missing 11 of its 12 baskets from behind the arc.
Cal wasn’t much better that half. The squad made twice as many baskets as Arizona State but could not take advan-tage. The Bears turned the ball over 12 times — 21 times in all — and clung to just a five-point lead at the break.

DeNesha Stallworth led the Bears with 12 points in their 45-44 loss. The sophomore forward also grabbed eight rebounds, tied with teammate Talia Caldwell for the game-high.

Mizalzchik returns to cal as Offensive coordinatorby Jack WangSenior Staff Writer
The wait is over. After weeks of silence despite per-sistent rumblings, Cal has finally offi-cially announced the return of Jim Michalczik as both offensive coordina-tor and offensive line coach. Michalczik, who served as Cal’s offensive line coach from 2002-08. He spent the last two seasons working at the same spot for the Oakland Raiders. His return is balanced by the arrival of newcomer Marcus Arroyo, a former San Jose State signal-caller, as Cal’s quarterbacks coach. The pair solidifies the offensive coaching staff, which was joined by wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau — another former Cal staffer — earlier this offseason. “My entire family is excited and fired up to be returning to the Cal foot-ball program,” Michalczik said in a press release. “I am thankful for the opportunity coach Tedford has provided me to return to his staff and resume working with him. I am proud of what we have accomplished at Cal in the past and am looking forward to what we can accom-plish in the future.” The Bears also have reason to be excited about Michalczik's return, even if it continues a pattern of hiring famil-iar faces.
Cal won five of six bowl games dur-ing the last six years of Michalczik's tenure and produced 1,000-yard rushers in all seven. The team also averaged at least 350 yards of offense in each season, and ranked in the top 10 in rushing offense in 2004 and 2005. Michalczik, who has spent 19 years coaching college football, also helped oversee the development of former Cal center Alex Mack. Mack, who was named to the All-Pac-10 first time three times, was named to the 2011 Pro Bowl Roster as an alternate. This past NFL season, the Raiders ranked second in the league in rushing, sixth in scoring and 10th in total offense. The team fell outside the top 20 in each the previous season. Arroyo, a relative newcomer com-pared to Michalczik, has spent the last two seasons as Wyoming’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He installed a new spread offense and ranked No. 7 in fewest turnovers lost (14). “Marcus is a tremendous addition to our staff,” Cal coach Jeff Tedford said in a press release. “He has done an excellent job devel-oping quarterbacks throughout his coaching career. He’s young and enthu-siastic, but he also has more than a decade of experience coaching and playing the position at the collegiate level. We're excited to bring him into our program.” Arroyo helped tutor San Jose State's all-time leading passer in Adam Trafalis in 2006.
