The second half of the California DREAM Act mdash which would allow undocumented students access to state financial aid mdash passed the state Senate Wednesday by a vote of 22 to 11

AB 131 authored by Assem-blymember Gil Cedillo D-Los An-geles will go back to the Assembly for a concurrence vote the last hurdle before the bill lands on Gov Jerry Brownrsquos desk

It is expected that Brown would sign the bill if it reaches his desk

By Jordan Bach-Lombardo Senior Staffjbachlombardodailycalorg

One of his campaign promises mdash iterated many times on his path to Sacramento mdash was to sign both parts of the DREAM Act should he have the opportunity

The passage of the bill mdash which would give undocumented students access to state financial aid pro-grams such as Cal Grants mdash comes a little over a month after the first part of the statersquos DREAM Act was signed into law by Brown That bill authorized public higher education institutions to give financial aid to undocumented students from their own aid reserves

ldquoItrsquos greatrdquo said Ju Hong an ASUC senator and undocumented student upon learning of the billrsquos success in the state Senate ldquoI would have a more open door to go to grad school and law school to continue on to a professional degree and contribute more tax revenue to our economyrdquo

The vote went along party lines Twenty-two Democrats voted for the bill while 11 Republicans voted against

Ron Calderon D-Montebello supported the bill on the Senate floor saying that having more educated tax-paying professionals would only help the statersquos economy

Jordan Bach-Lombardo describes the development of part two of the DREAM Act

The Commission on Judicial Appointments voted unanimously to confirm UC Berkeley professor of law Goodwin Liursquos appoint-ment to the Supreme Court of California

C o l l e a g u e s from the UC Berkeley School of Law as well as members of the business and legal commu-nity spoke about his dedication to the legal profession his loyalty to his students his attention to details and his belief in justice for every-one

ldquoPublic service is part of Good-winrsquos DNArdquo said Christopher Ed-ley dean of the UC Berkeley law school as he talked about Liursquos partnership with the law school and the role he has played in stu-dentsrsquo success

He told the commission that as a result of Liursquos outstanding work he was promoted to the position of associate dean of the law school in 2008 after having been employed at the university for only five years

Benita Brahmbhatt a student in Liursquos constitutional law class said it was an honor and a privilege to speak on behalf of a professor who had such a profound impact on her as a student and as a lawyer

ldquoHe approached each class with an open mindrdquo she said ldquoHe is deeply committed to the studentsrdquo

No one at the hearing testified against the appointment despite

By Theresa Adams | Stafftadamsdailycalorg

controversy surrounding Liursquos ear-lier nomination to the Ninth Cir-cuit Court of Appeals by President Barack Obama in February 2010 Republicans in Congress who ob-jected to his liberal interpretation of the Constitution filibustered the appointment until Liu withdrew as a candidate

However after Brown nominated him he received letters of bipar-tisan support from more than 130 law professors including John Yoo the former deputy assistant attor-ney general under the Bush admin-istration and a law professor at UC Berkeley

The California Supreme Court released the rating Liu received from the Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation ldquoexceptionally well-qualified and possessed brilliant intellectrdquo mdash the highest possible rat-ing

Liu addressed the commission and expressed his gratitude for the endorsements he received from his colleagues

Even though his lack of experi-ence as a trial attorney afforded him criticism from opponents during this and past nomination processes he said he is prepared to handle the challenges of the ap-pointment

ldquoLaw depends on stability clarity and finality and should be differen-tiated by the taskrdquo Liu said ldquoIt has been a long journey that has ended with the most pleasant confirmation known to manrdquo

Brown will swear Liu in to the California Supreme Court tomor-row in the State Capitol at 12 pm Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye as well as state leadership from the judicial legislative and executive branches will also attend the cere-mony

Statistics show decrease in violent and property crimesBy Sarah Burns | Staffsburnsdailycalorg

Preliminary statistics indicate an overall decrease in violent and prop-erty crime in Berkeley during the first six months of 2011 compared to the same time period the previous year mdash a trend mirrored in surrounding cit-ies

The Berkeley Police Department re-corded 4 percent fewer Part One Violent Crimes mdash which include homicide forc-ible rape aggravated assault and robbery mdash between January and June 2011 than during the same period in 2010 accord-ing to statistics released Tuesday by the department Part One Property Crime mdash including burglary auto theft theft and arson mdash decreased 16 percent during the same period

Among the eight types of Part One crimes four have decreased since 2010 in Berkeley with a 3 percent decrease

in robbery a 12 percent decrease in ag-gravated assault a 23 percent decrease in theft and a 50 percent drop in homi-cide amounting to one fewer murder case

Sgt Mary Kusmiss spokesperson for the department said that while it is im-possible to connect crime rate changes to any one factor police tactics may have had a part in the recent dramatic de-crease in theft rates

ldquoOne theory is that we have been do-ing a lot more focused work and ana-lyzing where theft is happening and when and doing a lot of special proj-ects and arresting habitual offendersrdquo she said

The four other Part One crimes saw increases during the 2011 time period Compared to 2010 statistics recorded between January and June

of 2011 show an 8 percent increase in auto theft a 06 percent increase in burglary a 36 percent increase in rapes and a 50 percent increase in the num-ber of arson cases meaning five addi-tional instances

Kusmiss attributed the increase in rape cases over the 2011 time span in part to an increase in the likelihood a woman will report a rape rather than an increase in the occurrence of the crime a trend she said has been persistent over the past 15 years as more women re-port acquaintance or date rape crimes Kusmiss added that so far this year none of the rapes reported to BPD were com-mitted by strangers

Berkeley Safe Neighborhood Commit-tee board member Laura Menard said she finds problems with the police de-partmentrsquos lack of a more sophisticated analysis of its crime statistics

ldquoA rudimentary analysis that just has some numbers is not a good analysisrdquo

UC medical centers show increase in revenue

Financial schedules from the UC Of-fice of the President show that annual revenues for the universityrsquos medical centers grew to almost $6 billion in 2010 an increase of nearly $2 billion over the medical centersrsquo revenue only six years before

UC medical centers are planning to use the increasing revenue generated by the five teaching hospitals mdash the profits of which were over $850 million in 2010 mdash to fund $5 billion in capital needs over the next five years as well as to support UC medical schools

The UCrsquos medical centers are lo-cated on the universityrsquos Los Angeles Irvine Davis San Francisco and San Diego campuses

A large part of the revenue will fund a variety of capital projects including a $15 billion hospital complex at UCSF Mission Bay which is scheduled to open in 2015 according to UC spokes-person Ricardo Vazquez

Munoz said the costs for the UCSF Mission Bay project will be spread out over several years

Other campuses have also pursued new building or reconstruction proj-

ects according to Vazquez UC Irvine opened a new hospital in 2009 and UC Davis opened a new surgery and emergency services pavilion in 2010 mdash the largest construction project in UC Davisrsquos history

Vazquez added that the medical cen-ters need the funds for a variety of im-provement projects including electron-ic medical records and state-mandated seismic safety upgrades The statersquos seis-mic regulations are ldquounique and expen-siverdquo according to UCSFrsquos website

ldquoIn the event of a seismic event the state requires that our buildings not only remain standing but also remain operationalrdquo Munoz said ldquoThat be-comes very expensiverdquo

mond Police Department indicate a more significant decrease in violent crime statistics mdash nearly 18 percent between the same months from 2010 to 2011 mdash but a less significant

decrease in property crimes with roughly 15 percent fewer property crimes recorded between the same months from 2010 to 2011 for an overall total decrease of about 4 per-cent in all Part One crime during the six-month periods

According to a June 27 crime report from the Oakland Police Department the city saw about a 14 percent de-crease in the total number of Part One crimes committed between Jan 1 and July 3 in 2011 compared to that period in 2010

In the event of an earthquake the best response for those stationed in Tolman Hall would be to ldquoduck cover and holdrdquo UC Berkeley officials urged Wednesday Officials held a town hall meeting to discuss the buildingrsquos con-tinued vulnerability to earthquakes given that UC Berkeley was denied some $202 million to replace it

While they didnrsquot commit to any

specific action on Tolman officials discussed cheaper reinforcements like those done to Eshleman Hall last summer when full funding was not available In July the campus moved all students and student activities out of the building because of earth-quake danger identified by a 1997 report that gave Tolman a ldquopoorrdquo seismic rating

Mihir Zaverimzaveridailycalorg

Itrsquos 10 pm and Irsquom sitting at the table of my summer home in Portland Ore Three empty bot-

tles of BridgePort Kingpin Double Red Ale are on the table next to my laptop screen

I want to write a column I think I want to write a column that will tell the truth about the Daily Cal about newspapers and about jour-nalism I want to tell the truth that nobody wants to say

Now a couple of months later I have done just that Here is the truth itrsquos not you itrsquos me Itrsquos not Craigslistrsquos fault for taking classified advertisements away from the domain of print Itrsquos not the blogo-spherersquos fault for writing and spreading news for free

Itrsquos not the marketrsquos fault for turning journalism upside down for cutting all of The Daily Californianrsquos reportersrsquo pay for cutting our Wednesday publication and for making us indebted to the ASUC for forgiving a portion of our rent

All of that stuff is on us the jour-nalists Itrsquos our fault Our job was to report the news and we did that But we got complacent and we stopped evolving and soon the con-cept of a news article became far removed from what you as a person valued Now we find ourselves in an awkward position where an indis-pensable component of democracy is slipping away and wersquore scrambling

Herersquos my background I reported for a couple semesters at the

Daily Cal then I was an editor for a couple more I drove down to Los Angeles for a weekend just to attend a workshop on watchdog journalism I currently get a Monday through Friday print subscription to The New York Times I taught (and still teach) a DeCal about in-depth reporting featuring speakers who have written for The New York Times magazine the Center for Investigative Reporting and others Last semester I interned for the San Francisco Chronicle and this summer I worked full time for one of the best papers in the country The Oregonian

The summary For the last three years Irsquove breathed journalism But as my interest has grown and Irsquove seen more intricacies and nuances of the industry so has my disillu-sionment

Itrsquos clear to me that a number of people are out of touch with the core of journalism Journalism isnrsquot a business and a news article isnrsquot a product

Journalism also isnrsquot about putting out a newspaper every day or every week or every second if that were possible Itrsquos just a means to an end

What is that end Transparency and accountability the free-flow of information required to keep democracy alive Journalism is about informing people so individu-als can make active smart decisions

about the world they live in and improve society as a whole

Journalismrsquos sustenance depends solely on societyrsquos trust that it can and does accomplish that end Smart people around the country can develop all the business models they want but itrsquos all for naught if the reporting fails

Thatrsquos what I think wersquove lost sight of our responsibility and the bigger picture Irsquove seen the Daily Cal struggle firsthand to make sure there are enough words to fill the next dayrsquos paper with some content mdash any content mdash and have had to do that myself

On a national level papers have given in to market fluctuations and some are increasingly emphasizing ldquohitsrdquo on their websites so that an article about puppies or celebrities or the neighborhood fair gets more play than a multi-part report on seismic safety in Californiarsquos schools Papers have closed investigative or watchdog reporting teams mdash argu-ably the most important part of journalism mdash to save money

Journalism is in a dark time But we canrsquot give up We have to fight

for relevance in your lives We need to gain back your trust that what wersquore doing is worth keeping alive one way or another and we canrsquot do that by writing fluff

Itrsquos not enough to just write an important article anymore Itrsquos not enough to send out 10000 copies of the Daily Cal to racks around cam-pus and the city We as journalists need to be in your face all the time

We need to help you take action An article means nothing if it doesnrsquot help you make some sort of decision in your life so every article needs to be coupled with instruc-tions on how you as a resident of a democratic country can make your life your familyrsquos life and your soci-etyrsquos life better given the informa-tion yoursquove just received

I donrsquot have all the answers I just have too much angst and now final-ly a public outlet for it What I can tell you now is it isnrsquot anyonersquos fault but our own that we find ourselves in journalismrsquos epic predicament

What I can promise you now is I will try as hard as I can to make jour-nalism important in your life again

PeoPlersquos Park

Business owners recommend changes

Following several months of com-munity meetings and board discus-sions the Telegraph Business Im-provement District submitted a letter Aug 9 to UC Berkeley Facility Services outlining several recommendations focused on improving Peoplersquos Park

The park which is under the juris-diction of the UC has been perceived by a number of community members mdash including merchants and property owners mdash as an ongoing concern due to the unapproved and sometimes il-licit activities held there according to the letter

ldquoIn a lot of cities most of their downtown central economic center has a park of some sort that is a com-munity asset but in the Southside it is a community liabilityrdquo said Roland Peterson the districtrsquos executive direc-

tor ldquoWe would like to see it as an asset rather than a liabilityrdquo

About four years ago the UC con-sulted with MKThink a San Francis-co-based firm to engineer a plan that would improve the park Though MK-Think gathered comprehensive com-munity input the result of the effort was a compilation of opinions about the park rather than a directional guidebook of where to go with it Pe-terson added

The letter follows up on the districtrsquos April meeting with campus Vice Chan-cellor of Facility Services Ed Denton where district leaders raised a number of complaints about the park Peterson added that the letter was written as a response to Dentonrsquos request to come up with steps to improve the park

The districtrsquos recommendations in-clude changes to the current landscape such as the leveling of uneven ground in order to increase visibility mdash there-by improving sight lines for UCPD pa-

trolling officers mdash in the park Craig Becker owner of Caffe Medi-

terraneum and co-author of the letter said the four corners of the park which serve as its entrances should be devel-oped in order to attract more members of the community to the park

ldquoWhatever affects the neighborhood affects the businesses as wellrdquo Becker said ldquoSo if customers donrsquot feel com-fortable and safe walking around the area then that affects usrdquo

According to Peterson since South-side is largely populated by students the park should be developed in order to make it more inviting for the stu-dent population

ldquoWhy isnrsquot it as popular as Memorial Gladerdquo Peterson said ldquoIf this park was somehow magically transported to the center of the campus you wouldnrsquot tol-erate (its current condition)rdquo

The eighth annual Rock the Bells Festival stopped in Mountain Viewrsquos Shoreline Amphitheatre

last Saturday boasting a star-studded lineup including the likes of Ms Lauryn Hill Nas Mobb Deep Black Star (Talib Kweli and Mos Def rsquos duo) and select members of the Wu-Tang Clan

Headliners Ms Lauryn Hill and Nas closed the nightrsquos agenda on the main stage with performances of their respective greatest hit albums The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Illmatic Nas exploded onstage at dusk

By Belinda Gu | Staffbgudailycalorg

spitting hard-hitting rhymes and drop-ping f-bombs like pocket change con-ducting a rap-along from devoted fans of Illmatic hit debut album and instant classic still shone as Nas delivered familiar lyrics from 1994

Producer Pete Rock made a guest appearance and paid his dues with a mini beat battle with Nas The two vet-erans delivered iconic hip-hop anthems and demonstrated the necessity of ego in the genre

The venue for the festival acomodat-ed the volume of attendees but its set-up dispersed a lot of the energy of the crowd The front-most section was only for VIPs yuppies who preferred to sit and sip cocktails at a rap concert while the middle section was for mdash nobody really It was pretty empty And general

admission-ers were left to push and shove for standing space from where most of them could only see the screen

Although the setting didnrsquot provide the most fulfilling concert experience there was an undeniable sense that we were in the presence of greatness Ms Lauryn Hill was a queen mdash nay a god-dess mdash her voice and body were both in magnificent form Her set was themati-cally appropriate for her Grammy win-ning Miseducation The backdrop dis-played a sprawling case of multicolored books her hair was plaited into pigtails spilling onto a white button-down shirt and high-waisted rsquo70s trousers She segmented her iconic album with an almost gospel cover of Bob Marleyrsquos reggae classic ldquoCould You Be Lovedrdquo Ms Hillrsquos fiery energy and command-

ing pipes were met with an indifferent crowd most of whom craved more rap and left to see Wu-Tang Clan after Nasrsquo set and only a few diluted cheers and whistles coaxed her back for an encore

Nas accompanied her onstage for their duet ldquoIf I Ruled The Worldrdquo dur-ing her encore prompting lighters and cellphones to illuminate the audience The night capped off with Ms Hill humbly thanking attendees for loving her music through the years and with a swirl of her schoolgirl pants she flounced off stage

Rock the Bells is doubtlessly hip-hoprsquos biggest tour providing opportuni-ties to see legendary acts perform their most coveted material Its success ardently reaffirms if it was ever in doubt our love of hip-hop

Jean-Luc Godardrsquos latest concoction takes place on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean unfolding as a murky collage of conversations between passengersSAN FRANCISCO FILM SOCIETYCOURTESY

lsquoThe Debtrsquo reimagines Israeli espionage thriller

lsquoSocialismersquo unifies with collective disinterest

Itrsquos all Clarissa Darlingrsquos fault Remem-ber her That svelte sunny blonde with the leggings who was supposed to ldquoex-

plain it allrdquo Saturday nights on Nick Yeah that one That lying deceitful wench She explained nothing Why was there a boy climbing into her window every day Why was that theme song of hers so absurdly catchy And most importantly why does any of this matter

It matters because ldquoClarissa Explains It Allrdquo was on TV Thatrsquos all Nothing more nothing less If pressed for any details regarding the showrsquos content I couldnrsquot provide much I donrsquot recall much about the Darling household besides the beige blanket that was their living room and Clar-issarsquos mysteriously ginger brother Every-thing else seems a blur of babydoll dresses and neon scrunchies And yet somehow that show remains with me invading my consciousness with that incessant chorus of ldquona na na nardquo

Itrsquos quite possible Irsquom insane (Clarissa certainly was She wore overalls) but itrsquos more likely that Irsquom a TV viewer just like you And this is what happens when you glue your eyes to that mythical glowing rectangle called television mdash the shows be-come a part of you And if you were like me a kid growing up in the rsquo90s those shows were on Nickelodeon This was the golden age where dinosaurs could dance on ice and have their own cereal where a melancholy schlub of a boy could charm a girl despite his rapid balding and where a football-head could be a hero

This was a place of magic of strange green slime and eccentricity where young minds were molded into thinking it was perfectly normal for a wallaby to wear shoes and hawaiian shirts rsquo90s Nick was unique Unlike Disney Nickelodeon didnrsquot peddle fresh-faced teens singing insipid songs or animated duck dictators (Irsquom talking to you Scrooge McDuck) No Nickelodeon was better than that They had not one animal but two A dog and a cat Combined And for an impressionable shut-in like me at age eight (the shut-in part hasnrsquot changed) this was a level of oddity and absurdity I couldnrsquot help but connect to

I was nebbish like Chuckie I was a smart-ass like Helga (minus the caterpil-lar eyebrows) and though I hesitate to admit it I was a rampant know-it-all like the egregiously irritating Eliza Thornberry There seemed to be a character for each facet of my ever-evolving personality mdash from the meditative moods of Doug to the impulsive and adventurous Tommy Pickles

Nickelodeon was a channel that fostered individualism where creativity and char-acter were paramount Sure as with any childrenrsquos programming there were lessons built in ldquoHey Arnoldrdquo taught me to be kind to others ldquoRocket Powerrdquo taught me never to get involved in sports and ldquoRugratsrdquo taught me that parents should pay more at-tention to their toddlers so their kids arenrsquot left abandoned in giant toy stores But what made Nickelodeon novel were its charac-tersrsquo flaws

I wasnrsquot a perfect kid I was abrasive short and at times a loner And yet I was content I had television and more to the point I had the comfort and company of the characters on Nickelodeon Helga was loud and Arnold was short They certainly werenrsquot perfect despite Arnoldrsquos infallible moral compass and they were on TV So they must be special And if they could be on television with their chaotic mood swings and physical deformities Irsquod be fine as a wise-ass with few friends

Itrsquos 2011 now Seven years have passed since ldquoHey Arnoldrdquo ended and 17 since Clarissa finished expounding her wisdom I have more friends now Donrsquot you worry about that Irsquom a confident young college student But those shows and those char-acters with their idiosyncrasies and inse-curities have become integrated into my identity perhaps more than any of those friends This summer TeenNick started airing ldquoClarissa Explains it Allrdquo along with other classics from the rsquo90s and the Facebook statuses starting erupting with excitement It became clear these charac-ters were beloved by everyone not just me And with this column I will attempt to explain where Clarissa failed why TV is essential

Television explains it all

FILM TV LAND

Monsieur Godard qursquoest-ce que la big idea Literally what is ldquoFilm Social-ismerdquo about Is it an indictment of the

blase bourgeois of the West Sure Is it an indictment of the frantic images of contemporary cinema Yeah But both of these prove tiresome terrain for Jean-Luc Godard who has already (re-)visited that territory again and again throughout his career from the New Wave sensation ldquoBreathlessrdquo (1960) mdash which changed the heuristics of how we watch movies mdash to the listless inner lives of two libertines in ldquoPierrot le Fourdquo (1965) to the Dantean provocation ldquoNotre Musiquerdquo (2004) And of course his myriad other films Itrsquos redundant to recite this guyrsquos CV We get it Godard You hate things

The lack of narrative in ldquoFilm Socialismerdquo isnrsquot the problem Godard geeks should expect that by now Loosely the film is a series of images both moving and still of people of disparate back-grounds on a cruise ship traveling the Mediter-ranean Godard revisits some of the same characters one of which is a llama at a gas station (one of the filmrsquos only memorable scenes)

By Ryan Lattanzio | Senior Staffrlattanziodailycalorg

In its cryptic subtitles and garbled images ldquoSocialismerdquo manages to touch vaguely upon issues of globalization race Hollywood and a bunch of other stuff that gets gobbled up in Godardrsquos cinematic pidgin language of the unknowable and the god-awful

Formally the film is a mess The digital video has a murky look which certainly doesnrsquot complement the already cheerless content Whatever meaning lies behind ldquoFilm Socialismerdquo remains to be seen Rarely does Godard explicate his enigmatic and aesthetically smudgy visuals with English subtitles (I fail to cobble together the narration or dialogue with what little French I know) A shot of a young woman supine on a bed meowing at a computer screen is accompa-nied by ldquoEgyptian name catsrdquo The film features a number of women looking sad and pensive on beds one who says something like ldquoSpanish civilwar Kominternrdquo What the hell are these words These people all look like the lost victims of Godardrsquos pseudo-intellectual and maddening master plot

The vague historicity running through Godardrsquos film implicit in the title (I guess) suggests that he is content to sit atop his angry smoke-filled ivory tower He never addresses the ldquoSocialismerdquo suggested in the title And if he does

itrsquos unclear where or when or how Some stock footage illumining vague notions of cultural deterioration gets close until Godard bows out with the words ldquoNO COMMENTrdquo

The one thing Godard ought to be credited for is imagining a kind of communal cinema because the film is incomprehensible and we can all share that inaccessibility together Even to the Godard-savvy ldquoSocialismerdquo is nothing but an arbitrary succession of images subtitled with disjointed nouns Yet as with any tyrant there will always be a few Godard loyalists who will find this entry among others a worthy addition to a controversial if uneven career

The saying goes that those who canrsquot do teach and those who canrsquot teach make Holocaust

movies John Madden director of such sappy trophy-swiping schlock as ldquoShakespeare in Loverdquo (1998) and ldquoProofrdquo (2005) competently elevates ldquoThe Debtrdquo from the constraints of that genre and into another a dark rich espionage thriller A remake of the 2007 Israeli film ldquoHa-Hovrdquo it is gritty and adult with believable characters caught in unbelievable circumstances

The film is clever in the way it reveals information One scene a flashback in the filmrsquos opening where a woman is attacked in the shadows for reasons unknown is repeated later for dramatic effect The last act boasts a barrage of sinuous plot twists ending as drops of blood hit the floor like an ellipsis

Discomforting and disturbing ldquoThe Debtrdquo offers a welcome overdue close to a summer of movies steeped in scatology and sensationalism all catering to the lowest common denominator ldquoThe Debtrdquo might be too queasy for such previously placated audiences to stomach but man does it have a force

Rachel (Jessica Chastain) Stephan (Marton Csokas) and David (Sam Worthington) are a trio of Mossad secret agents who in 1966 undertake a delicate mission to kidnap Nazi war criminal Dr Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen) now hiding in East Berlin as a gynecologist Vogel is a Josef Mengele type a doctor who performed grotesque experiments on Jews during the Holocaust Jump to 1997 when Rachel mdash now older

scarred (literally) and played by Helen Mirren mdash and Stephan (Tom Wilkinson) receive the news that David (now played Ciaran Hinds) has killed himself This scene is the first of many shock moments David willingly steps in front of a bus and is crushed From here the film begins to reconstruct events and explain why these three characters find themselves at a morally muddied crossroads

For the sake of verisimilitude all the actors acquire Israeli accents rather than the standard British accents given to characters to make them seem foreign This choice is sometimes distracting but the performances are solid and even exceptional in the case of Jessica Chastain the dewy rising star of 2011

Wersquove seen Chastain display peerless range this year in ldquoThe Tree of Liferdquo and ldquoThe Helprdquo but Rachel is her best role yet Though she wields an impressive array of combat techniques and is able to handle herself physically amid the machis-mo of David and Stefan Rachel is not fearless She has doubts about the mission perhaps because Israeli intelligence has no doubt exploited her gender to get to Vogel Scenes with Rachel and Vogel (he readies the speculum as she tightens her grip on the examination table) are powerful in that the banter is always loaded as she struggles to shirk her emotions

Sudden bursts of violence and tightly wrought scenes of suspense afford ldquoThe Debtrdquo both efficacy as a historical thriller (but never as historical commentary) and a drama about denial about the lies we tell for the sake of self-preservation The older actors mdash Mirren Wilkinson Hinds mdash revive these tired themes in their nuanced performances No surprise really since these three are among the best in the biz Mirren is as

wersquove never seen her with a scar like a hook and enough emotional baggage to merit a movie on its own Shersquos one tough hard-ass cookie Though ldquoThe Debtrdquo is never as profound as it aspires to be and a late August release doesnrsquot place it

among other movies vying for fall priz-es Maddenrsquos film packs more thrills and smarts than the average escapist fare Itrsquos actually quite memorable at least until the next Holocaust-inspired movie rolls in

Panel series to promote discussion between campus city

Berkeley residents and students will get a chance to discuss important town-gown issues such as redistricting and sustainability when a city panel series is launched later this month

The cityrsquos Fall Panel Series is an ef-fort to sustain a consistent partnership between the city and the UC Berkeley campus through talks led by representa-tives of both communities The series mdash planned by Berkeley City Councilmem-ber Laurie Capitelli and sponsored by several city and campus groups includ-ing the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce mdash has three panels set for the next few months which will be held on campus and at Berkeley City College

ldquoThe initial motivation was to find ways that the city community and uni-versity could collaborate on various thingsrdquo Capitelli said ldquoThe university is an enormous resource in terms of talent and we wanted to open up lines of com-

municationrdquoThe series will kick off Sept 21 with

a panel on redistricting mdash a prominent issue that garnered interest after the ASUC and students earlier this summer requested a postponement of the submis-sion deadline for redistricting proposals

Bruce Cain a campus professor of politi-cal science and public policy said the city should find another way to get students involved in city government rather than redrawing districts He will speak at the re-districting panel along with ASUC Exter-nal Affairs Vice President Joey Freeman

ldquoThe city ought to take a more inno-vative approach about how they elect their City Councilrdquo Cain said ldquoStu-dents racial minorities and homeown-ers should get representation on the City Council and it shouldnrsquot be done via drawing city linesrdquo

However not all community members are happy with the organization of the panel series Councilmember Kriss Wor-thington said the series should have been planned with more progressive commu-nity members in mind

ldquoItrsquos such a biased combination mdash

there should be much more opinion and racial diversityrdquo Worthington said ldquoThatrsquos the problem when you get busi-ness improvement districts the Chamber of Commerce and nonprogressive groups organizing (the series) mdash I agreed to par-ticipate so there would be at least one to-ken progressive speakerrdquo

Though Worthington said he is upset with the political and ethnic makeup of the series he will speak on the panel because he supports putting a charter amendment involving redistricting on the cityrsquos No-vember 2012 ballot that he believes would bring student groups together

The last two panel series events will deal with issues of citywide sustainabil-ity and energy conservation as well as the improvement of arts food and entertain-ment areas

ldquoWe are not an island on the campus mdash we are in the larger community in the city of Berkeleyrdquo said Lisa McNeilly cam-pus director of sustainability ldquoAll of the various partnerships that we have are important in order for us to be good neighbors and citizens of the communi-tyrdquo

DREAm ACT Bill could alter 1960 plan

ldquo(Undocumented students) should not have their future jeop-ardized by their illegal statusrdquo he added

Doug LaMalfa R-Butte opposed the bill on the Senate floor saying that the state should focus on taking care of its citizens during the cur-rent financial crisis instead of giving aid to undocumented students

Hong also said that ultimate passage of the bill mdash which if it succeeds in the Assembly and is signed by Brown unamended would take effect Jan 1 2013 mdash would not only help current col-lege- and university-level undoc-umented students but also those still in high school

ldquo(High school students) wonrsquot give up (and) it will reduce the high school dropout raterdquo he said ldquoMore students will get involved in academia and get a higher edu-cation degreerdquo

mEDiCAL CENTERS Part of profits used to support UC medical schools

fiscal years the medical centersrsquo revenues have exceeded their expenses by over $34 billion This margin not only helps fund capital projects but also insurance pay-ment shortfalls from patients on Medi-care and Medi-Cal according to Munoz

ldquoWhen we receive payments from (Medicare and Medi-Cal patients) there are restrictions on how those dollars are usedrdquo he said ldquoOften those payments fall far short of covering the costsrdquo

Forty percent of UC patients are unin-sured or covered by Medi-Cal according to UC Healthrsquos website Vazquez said in an email that the medical centers pro-vided over $445 million of charity care in

the 2010 fiscal yearHowever the excess revenue generated

by the medical centers remains within the clinical enterprise Munoz said Without retaining these funds the medical centers would not be able to operate he said

For example under the systemwide merit-based pay program recently an-nounced by the Office of the President revenues from the medical centers will only be used to pay for pay raises for eli-gible hospital employees he said

Vazquez added that the medical cen-ters use part of their revenue to help UC medical schools providing over $400 million in support last year alone In Au-gust campus officials identified nearly $2 million for UCSF medical students on financial aid to offset recent tuition hikes

according to a UCSF press releaseldquoIn addition to (funding projects) we

help support the schools of medicinerdquo Munoz said ldquoWersquove been able to main-tain five world-class hospitalsrdquo

UC medical centers are for the most part financially independent receiving less than 1 percent of their budget from state funding according to UC Healthrsquos website A budget report from the Office of the President shows that over half of the medical centersrsquo budget is composed of private health care plan payments

ldquoUC medical centers are self-support-ing enterprises that operate in extremely competitive health care marketsrdquo Vazquez said in the email

3 Oregon State

7SportS Thursday September 1 2011 The Daily Californian

Four of the Beaversrsquo seven losses last season were to top-10 teams The other three losses well those were

another story Oregon Statersquos 35-34 double overtime loss at Washington is nothing to be ashamed of But a mid-season defeat at the hands of a mediocre UCLA squad and a 17-point loss at home to Washington State whose only other win that season was 23-22 squeaker over none other than Montana State Thatrsquos embarrassing

The Beaversrsquo 2010 season was in stark contrast to their previous four campaigns which all ended in postseason berths and eight-plus wins There are high standards in Corvallis these days making Oregon Statersquos task in 2011 even more challenging the club has to replace all-every-thing running back Jacquizz Rodgers

Rodgers the 2008 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year ran for 1258 yards and 14 touchdowns last year following an even more impressive sophomore season in 2009 when he rushed for 1502 yards and 21 touchdowns But the speedy tailback left after his junior season for the NFL where he was drafted by the Falcons in the fifth round

He leaves a gaping hole not only in the backfield but on the entire squad he was the face of OSU for the last three years

Still head coach Mike Riley has a proven track record and OSU should bounce back from a tough 2010 season

mdash Jonathan Kuperberg

4 Arizona State

Who knows which Arizona squad will show up in 2011 It could be the team that

started off last season winning seven of eight games and earning a No 15 ranking Or per-haps the club that lost its final five contests including a 36-10 trouncing in the Alamo Bowl

The Wildcats will have to answer that question on Sept 8 when they face No 9 Oklahoma State

Nick Foles and Juron Criner make up per-haps the best quarterback-wide receiver combo in the conference Eleven of Folesrsquo 20 touch-down passes were to Criner who finished the season with 1233 receiving yards

However the squadrsquos defense will need to improve from last year when it gave up over 307 yards a game the most in the conference

Arizona Statersquos defense will be scary good which bodes well for coach Dennis

Erickson in what could potentially be his last season in Tempe

After opening his stay with a 10-3 record the 64-year-old has gone 15-21 per the past three years

Vontaze Burfict is arguably the top line-backer in the conference and the develop-ment of new starting quarterback Brock Osweiler mdash hersquos a whopping 6-foot-8 ndash has made the Sun Devils this seasonrsquos popular breakout pick

Consider though that the junior has com-pleted only 442 percent of his 104 career passes

pac-12 preview Letrsquos start with the positives The Bearsrsquo punting game will be among the best in the country Bryan

Anger was selected first team All-Pac-10 the past two years and is a preseason All-American for his senior campaign

The defense which held then-No1 Oregon to just 15 points and only one offensive touchdown in the squadrsquos 2010 meeting could be even better in 2011 Senior Mychal Kendricks returns to anchor one of the leaguersquos top lineback-ing units while a mixture of experience and young talent will compose the rest of the defense Then therersquos the offense

The Bears had trouble scoring in 2010 despite a veteran quarterback in Kevin Riley and a stalwart running back in Shane Vereen Just think how the unit will fare this season without the two Head coach Jeff Tedford named Zach Maynard the starting quarterback even before fall camp Maynard will be perhaps the most mobile Cal quarterback in recent history but he hasnrsquot played in a year and that season in 2009 while with the University of Buffalo he threw only three more touchdowns than his 15 interceptions

Hersquoll be handing the ball off to Isi Sofele who had just 69 carries for 348 yards in 2010 Receivers Marvin Jones and Keenan Allen will be the primary playmakers for a Cal squad hungry for a return to the postseason after its first losing season in the Tedford era

6 Colorado

If only the coach could suit upHead coach Rick Neuheisel is maybe UCLArsquos

best quarterback unfortunately for the club the 1984 Rose Bowl MVPrsquos playing days are over

Quarterback Kevin Prince threw for just 384 yards and three touchdowns in five starts in 2010 before a season-ending knee injury His replace-ment Richard Brehaut wasnrsquot much better

The season started out promising Despite dropping their first two games the Bruins crushed No 23 Houston and No 7 Texas in con-secutive weeks UCLA beat lowly Washington State the next week It had one win after that

Until the Bruins find a decent quarterback expect more seasons like 2010 in Westwood

Well there is nowhere to go but up I guess Maybe itrsquos not that dramatic the

Buffaloes did win five games last season after all but itrsquos hard to envision one of the new additions finishing anywhere but last in the Pac-12 South

The failed Dan Hawkins experiment is merci-fully over in Boulder and the Buffs are now led by former Washington Redskins tight end coach Jon Embree who apparently completely opened up the depth chart in fall practice

Colorado has one of the conferencersquos finest offensive linemen in guard Ryan Miller but despite the new coaching staff it is unlikely that the boys in Boulder will make any significant noise this season

PAC-12 PREVIEWFootball

You may think your blood oozes blue and gold (it doesnrsquot) and you may have that beer opener that plays

ldquoBig Crdquo when a beer is opened Thatrsquos great but right now Cal is a long way from its rival from the South Bay Even without Jim Harbaugh the architect of maybe the greatest program transformation in recent memory Stanford is still among the nationrsquos best and most excit-ing teams And donrsquot buy any of this ldquoho-hum wersquore just Stanfordrdquo attitude preached by the teamrsquos star quarter-back Andrew Luck Harbaugh who left Farmville for the flailing San Francisco 49ers instilled a fierce mentality in his players The main attraction is obviously Luck the junior quar-terback who returned to school to complete his degree (not taking ballroom dancing classes like Matt Leinart did when he wanted to ldquohave one more year of funrdquo) instead of being the first overall selection in Aprilrsquos NFL Draft Luck threw for 3338 yards and 32 touchdowns at a Pac-10 record 707 percent completion rate mdash he was not merely the best college quarterback in 2010 but may very well be on his way to being the best college quarterback ever Whether they can get past Oregon remains to be seen but look for Stanford to hover around the top-10 all season

The Ducks if you remember left a scorched path on

the way to the BCS title game before their offense screeched to a very abrupt halt Good news for Chip Kelly and com-pany is that no one in the Pac-12 can quite bring what Auburn had in Cam Newton and Nick Fairley Its underrated defense from a year ago will need to keep pace after losing five starters from the front seven but it has a solid secondary that includes John Boyett and Cliff Harris The shining stars in Eugene though are found in what is likely the best backfield in the country Quarterback Darron Thomas is a dynamic athlete who acquitted him-self well in his first starting campaign finishing second in the conference in passing touchdowns (30) and efficiency (1507) Behind him is none other than LaMichael James last yearrsquos national rushing leader and a Heisman finalist If James gets injured Therersquos Kenjon Barner who might be just as good And DersquoAnthony Thomas a true freshman some have compared to Reggie Bush A bonus for college football fans is that Oregon will be playing the hottest non-conference ticket of the year this Saturday at Cowboys Stadium a showdown with LSU affectionately known as the Willie Lyles Bowl

mdash Jack WangNo the Trojans wonrsquot be playing on

December 2nd as the Southrsquos representative in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game on December 2nd But in what appears to be the weaker of the two divisions USC is the clear standout Matt Barkley is one of the better quarter-backs in a conference filled with them mdash Cal fans will remember his five first-half touch-downs in 2009 mdash and the rest of the roster still has top-to-bottom talent even with scholar-ships reduced due to the Reggie Bush sanc-tions The team opens the season ranked No 25 but donrsquot be surprised if the Trojans shoot up over the course of the year

pac-12 preview paGe 7

The other not-so-Pacific addition to the newly formed Pac-12 should continue to play

the consistent football that has defined Kyle Whittinghamrsquos tenure in Salt Lake City The Utes reached as high as No 6 last season but two uncharacteristically bad losses in back-to-back weeks against TCU and Notre Dame overshadowed an otherwise successful season Utah returns starting quarterback Jordan Wynn and his top downfield target DeVonte Christopher as well as its top two tacklers (Chaz Walker and Matt Martinez) The Utes are always solid and should provide challenges to most opponents though they receive conference baptism by fire when they take on USC in Los Angeles on Sept 10
