City Re-evaluates Strategy To Fill Refuse Fund Deficit by Sarah Mohamed Staff Writer

After inciting the anger of several players in the city’s refuse collection scene with a proposal to terminate the city’s contract with the Ecology Center earlier this month, the Berkeley City Council held an additional work session Tuesday to discuss alternative ways to close a remaining $1.2 million deficit in the city’s refuse fund for this fiscal year. A report issued by consulting firm Sloan Vazquez on Feb. 22 recommends several cost-cutting measures to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency within the city’s Solid Waste Management Division — including the consolidation of the Ecology Center’s residential recycling program into the division. At a work session March 8, debate ensued between union workers, environmental activists and concerned residents who said that they had not been adequately involved in the negotiation process. In addition to working toward lowering the Ecology Center’s operational costs instead of ending its contract, Tuesday’s discussion focused on finding other ways to balance the fund, such as moving container processing off-site of the Community Conservation Center in Northwest Berkeley, switching half of all commercial and residential routes from two- to oneperson vehicles, eliminating vacant positions and renegotiating disposal and landfill contracts. “We’ve had discussions with the Ecology Center, we’re in discussions with the (Community Conservation Center),” said Andrew Clough, deputy director of the city’s Department of Public Works. City Manager Phil Kamlarz explained at the meeting that implementing a 4 percent rate increase in monthly charges for the city’s recycling services

could generate about $956,000 in revenue that would be used to purchase new collection trucks. Kamlarz said the city would have to borrow money to purchase this new fleet of trucks. Though $2.4 million is available in the equipment replacement fund, this would not cover the costs even when combined with revenue generated from a rate increase, he said. Many community members who spoke at the work session said Tuesday’s discussion was characterized by a tone of greater understanding than the earlier meeting. “I really like the tone this evening — not unions pitted against unions,” said Monica Wilson, international coordinator for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives at the Ecology Center. During public comment, Dan Knapp, founder and co-owner of Urban Ore, a waste management company in West Berkeley, suggested that the city keep its transfer station open longer as a convenience to customers. He said the 4:30 p.m. closing time forces many with trucks to dump waste in streets and on freeway exits or process their waste at stations in other cities. “We work when the people are working — we’re a service industry trying to help people dispose of things in an environmentally OK way, and there’s only so many ways you can do it legally,” he said. “We could capture more of that business and bring in more income if we just extend the hours.” Councilmember Max Anderson said he was in favor of the suggestion, adding that “most of the time the stuff that doesn’t get taken care of ends up on the streets.” Sarah Mohamed covers city government.

EAVP Candidates Aim for Student Voice in Politics The External Affairs Vice President’s Job Includes Representing Students’ Interests in Issues That Are Outside the Campus by J.D. Morris Staff Writer

Increasing student involvement and representation in the political process are among the platforms of the four candidates competing for the position of External Affairs Vice President in the 2011 ASUC General Election. Responsibilities of the office include representing the ASUC in matters outside the direct scope of UC Berkeley, supervising governmental lobbying on behalf of the student government and acting as the ASUC representative to the UC Student Association. In light of Gov. Jerry Brown’s $500 million cut to the UC system — which may be doubled if a tax extension is not approved by voters — candidates said they would work to fight for students’ political interests if elected.

peaceful and thoughtful manner, and I say that from a legitimate point of view that if you want your voice to actually be heard, you want to do it in a way that gets more plans, that builds more support. Sometimes people can get a little too aggressive, and it actually hurts the cause that they’re trying to promote. So doing things that are peaceful and organizing their voice around an issue, I think it’s a fundamental value that needs to be enhanced, not just protected, it should be championed. I love that energy and love that thing. And if it’s not happening on the UC Berkeley campus with all those fee increases, I mean, we’re in serious trouble, so I’m encouraged. But when people start locking themselves in and denying other people access that are innocent in terms of the debate and when people start to incite behavior that can actually start tipping and losing support,

rent senator Joey Freeman said responding to budget cuts would be one of the primary focuses of his term. “It’s really just unacceptable that our fees continue to rise,” Freeman said. “Other sources of revenue are not being identified, and a lot of the burden is being placed on students’ backs.” To encourage student engagement, Freeman said he would advocate for an issue alert system by which students would be notified via email when important education issues arise. Both Freeman and independent candidate Ratha Lai said they would like to see more involvement with the Berkeley City Council. Lai — who is currently the organizing and community development director at the Bridges Multicultural Center on campus — said he has been working on a “higher education pledge” with Berkeley City Councilmember Kriss Worthington

that would call for no additional cuts to education in the future. SQUELCH! candidate Hayden Greif-Neill also expressed an interest in working with the city. “If I were elected, I’d probably try to conquer the entirety of Telegraph Avenue, because as EAVP, I would have jurisdiction over student interactions in the outside world,” he said. He added that he is a “living god” and that there should not even be an election because he is “obviously the most qualified candidate.” Lai said he would work with the UC Student Association to advocate for more student seats on the UC Board of Regents and establish a student political presence through lobbying efforts. “This is not going to be a single oneman show,” he said. “I’ll have a staff,

that’s when I just want to pause and say, ‘Hey guys, you don’t need to go this far.’ DC: What do you consider the state’s obligation to the UC to be in terms of the funding level? Do you think there’s a legal obligation to it? GN: You could argue a legal obligation, you can argue against it, but forget legal or not, there’s an economic impetus ... The most important asset in this state is human capital. The most important investment we can make is in the minds of young people and that education is how we can compete ... That’s why California has always been on the leading, cutting edge, why California’s economy is as big as it is today. So much of what the vision of the (state’s 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education) established and what we’ve sort of — through fits and starts —

A revolutionary new project to develop technology that could allow humans to control prosthetic limbs with brain signals is being pursued by UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco researchers in a collaboration that began in December 2010. The Center for Neural Engineering and Prostheses — not a physical center, but formed by a group of faculty from each campus — is researching technology that could serve to treat a variety of physical disabilities, including paralysis, according to Edward Chang, co-director of the center and assistant professor at the Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience at UCSF. Researchers expect to bring the project to a clinical trial within a year and a half. “We’re looking directly at all the different aspects of brain-machine interfaces,” Chang said. “One of our first areas is trying to understand how we can decode neural activity to control things like a robotic arm.”

According to Chang, several teams around the country are trying to come up with the first viable system of interpreting human brain activity to stimulate brain-machine interaction. In 2008, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University were able to develop technology that allowed a monkey to feed itself by controlling a robotic arm with signals from its brain. Electrode arrays attached to tissues in the brain allow neuroscientists to interpret signals and create stimulations in certain parts of the brain that could eventually result in the movement of prosthetic limbs, according to Christoph Schreiner, a researcher at the center and professor of otolaryngology at UCSF. “If you place (electrode arrays) on the brain, you might be able to influence a small group of neurons to create a sensation, or to induce movements if you put it over the motor cortex,” Schreiner said. “The goal at the end is to not only understand

but we will act more as ... leaders.� Defend Affirmative Action Party candidate James Gambrell said his campaign is about mobilizing students against the budget cuts and the “descent of public education.� “It’s about the movement,� Gambrell said. “If we can get the student body mobilized and we can get them to Sacramento, this stuff can be reversed, but we have to speak up — speaking up is half the battle, and we have to do that much.� Citing the cost of his own tuition — which he called “outrageous� — Gambrell said he was motivated to become a leader and get other students involved in speaking out against the ongoing cuts. Though the office has currently directed much of its attention towards activism, Freeman said he would support those efforts while directing more attention towards the traditional political field, where he said he hopes to produce legislative results by lobbying and communicating with politicians. Lai said he would also commit the office to activism and political lobbying, attempting to “go full throttle on both.� “Once we do that, then what are they going to do?� he said.

Growing Up, Getting Lost City Turns to Public for Feedback on

N

othing says nostalgia like a ’50s diner. The regularity of the tiled floor, the sheen of the sparkling counter and the low hum of the defunct jukebox all speak of a bygone era. It was, in all probability, a time that never really existed outside the movies — a mystical golden age that we both mock and ache for. A nostalgia both real and imagined. Our local diner is also the inevitable reunion spot for my friends whenever we head back into town. No matter how far we travel in the interim, whatever affectations or pretensions we have gained (accents, facial hair, flirtations with veganism) we always end up back at Peninsula Creamery, sipping on milkshakes, eating fries and talking too loudly about sex, drugs and politics, to the consternation of families around us. Under the fluorescent lighting, with the sounds of oldies coming through the speakers, it feels like a place outside of time. Yet as I get further and further into college, the passage of time gets harder and harder to deny. Most media depicts going off to college, that big celebration of youthful independence: The closing shot of the ’80s teen movie as the station wagon pulls away, crammed to bursting with clothes, books and IKEA bedsheets. Fewer films focus on what it feels like to come back. The first time you make the slip between “home and home.� The first argument with your parents: “I’m in college! Jeez!� The first time you text your new friends with exciting news before you call your high school friends. That first creeping realization that the town that raised you may no longer be large enough to contain you. In general, by the time the holidays are done, I’m excited to come back to Berkeley — back to what is increasingly feeling like my “real� life. Not this time. I clung to my bed like a drowning sailor to a floating timber. I reveled in the familiarity of it all. The sofa that, over the years, I have slowly beaten into perfect TV-watching form. My bed. The patch of two o’clock sunlight that hovers in my living room, warming the carpet and casting shadows on the ceiling. I clung to the familiarity because what had once seemed monotonous, boring, suburban — bike rides, the library, packed lunches and Friday night movies — is becoming increasingly rare. My friends are spread out across the country, across the world, even. The city I grew up in is still growing, apartment complexes springing from mansions, old haunts razed to the ground. Which all sounds morbid, but probably explains why one of my best memories of the holidays is ending up at Happy Donuts at 3 a.m. Hapdo, as the natives call it, is the only place in the city open 24 hours a day, home to the drug-addled and insomnia plagued — the place you go when you have nowhere better to be. e ran into some old friends and chatted for several hours as our coffees grew cold. The conversation revealed, not necessarily how much we had changed, but how divergent our paths were becoming. Sonya was doing costumes for a major Chicago theatre.

Mental Health Services Expansion on population, according to Berkeley Mental Health Services Act Coordinator Karen Klatt. A public comment period began on March 23 and will continue until April 20 for community members and stakeholders to comment on the city’s proposal, culminating in a public hearing on April 21. “The MHSA update will allow us to access funds ... which will help us bridge the anticipated funding shortfall in the next two years,� Klatt said. The city’s Department of Health Services currently faces a budget deficit, and while funds from the Mental Health Services Act cannot be used to supplant existing programs that have lost funding, they will help to continue to provide mental health services to the community, according to city spokesperson Mary Kay Clunies-Ross. Hugo Lucero, cultural competence and ethnic services coordinator for the city of Berkeley, said Mental Health Services Act funds provide previously unavailable access to support groups and community education, specifically, for Latino, Asian Pacific-Islander and African American populations in Berkeley and Albany. “(With) the MHSA funding, we can pay for health care and facilitators — for outreach to those communities,� he

MEGHNA DHOLAKIA into I-banking opportunities. Someone was woofing, another kicking their heels at home. Three people had dropped out, five were looking to transfer, and the last anyone had heard from Alex, he was working the Ohio governor’s campaign. Reports had surfaced that he might be studying abroad in New Mexico. Could you even study abroad in another state? t was so different than I had imagined years before, standing up at our graduation — looking out at the row of uniform black caps and gowns filled with identical grins of joy. We knew who we were then, recent graduates of Henry M. Gunn High School, ready to take the world by storm. Nearly invincible. Two years later ... life is happening to us, life with all its successes and secret failures. Sitting at that table, I suddenly had a premonition of who might be sitting there 20 years in the future: a lawyer, a costume designer, a failed politician and a bioengineer. Those people felt a lot more alien than Chloe, Sonya, Alex and Jeremy. Those people had nothing to say to each other. Life tends to isolate us in our own little communities with “like-minded� people; the kinds of people who talk like us and walk like us, people with similar politics and identical cars. What I’m getting at is that once life places us in a certain socio-economic class, it tends to stick. The United States likes to think of itself as an egalitarian, classless society. I disagree. The judgement is inherent in the phrase: socio-economic class. Earlier this semester, I was joking with a friend, when he suddenly turned to me. “You know,� he said, “in the future, we are going to run in two very different crowds.� I paused. It was a tacit admission of the very different futures we imagine for ourselves, and it broke my heart just a little. I could swear that I’ll never let our different career choices, life paths, successes or failures come between me and the people I care about. But that would be naive in the extreme. I know as well as anyone, that the real killer to a relationship isn’t necessarily difference or distance. It’s the slow creeping sensation of awkwardness, of not quite knowing how to relate. That is why I cherish moments like that long night we spent at Happy Donuts, sitting, joking, re-introducing ourselves. No matter where life may take us in the end, in that moment, just for a moment — we had nowhere better to be.

The city of Berkeley’s Mental Health Division is turning to the public for feedback on a roughly $6.58 million proposal to transform and expand mental health services in Berkeley and Albany. The city’s 2010-11 Annual Update for the Mental Health Services Act recommends allocating state funds for three of five outlined components in the act, which was passed by California voters in 2004. While annual funds from the act have decreased in recent years, the division is choosing to utilize the remainder of its 2009-10 state-allocated funds in addition to this year’s funds — all of which must be dispersed within a state-specified timeline. In the proposal, the division is requesting nearly $3.4 million for Community Services and Support, about $1.76 million for Prevention and Early Intervention and approximately $1.4 million for Capital Facilities and Technological Needs. The Mental Health Services Act provides funds for mental health programs — usually run at the county level — through a 1 percent tax on every dollar of personal income over $1 million. These funds are collected in a state treasury and then distributed to mental health jurisdictions based

NEWSOM: UC Regent Says

He Is Against More Cuts from front have organized around has been the engine of that economic success. So I think, forget the legal construct, it’s in our interests and everyone’s interest — business, community, non-profits, faith-based, all of us — to engage in making a case for a bigger investment and a more sustainable investment. DC: Considering the declining state investment, you talked about privatization and federalization of the UC earlier. At what point do you think the state and the general public loses the authority to criticize the UC or talk about the UC in terms of what it’s doing with its money, and when does it become a not-public university? GN: Well, you could argue it’s there already with 10 percent and 12 percent of your budget that comes from the state ... But the UC system is a public system and the public needs to demonstrate that commitment by having legislative leaders and executive leaders that demonstrate that commitment by financing new funding and by supporting it directly and indirectly by spending time and not just spending money to support the institution, so it’s just vital to the fate and future of this state. I don’t want to see it privatized more than anyone else — that’s why I’m not going to support more of these cuts, and that’s why I’m not going to support these fee increases. So you have to deal with the cards that are dealt. Contact Jordan Bach-Lombardo and J.D. Morris at newsdesk@dailycal.org.

ou might have experienced waking up from a nap while traveling, for a moment forgetting where you were. You might have panicked for a swift moment, but then remembered where you were going and brushed it off with a smile. Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) has nothing to smile about when he wakes up on a train going whoknows-where. He doesn’t know who the woman sitting across from him is, and he's not too happy to find himself a completely different man, either. Thus opens “Source Code,” the latest movie from rising director Duncan Jones. Acclaimed for his last film “Moon,” Jones proves to be a very powerful filmmaker, combining the unknown and the impossible to create an engrossing thriller.

For Royksopp, Old Hits Make for Novel Show

album reviews

Norwegian Electronic Duo Revives Old Material in Refreshing Performance At the Regency Ballroom by Jordan Woolsey Staff Writer

A

n eager crowd filed into the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on Monday night for a few hours of pure and easy enjoyment. The Norwegian electronic music duo Royksopp (Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge) don't come to the States often, but when they do, their fans know not to miss it. Royksopp began their set with the fun and bouncy "Eple," an easy choice. "Eple" received a lot of attention when Apple Inc. (“eple” is Norwegian for “apple”) licensed the song in the early ’00s and used it as the intro music for their software. Perhaps too obvious, the song felt a bit like preliminary business. After all, I had been put under the impression that the tour was to support their latest studio album, Senior, which was celebrated for its darker sound. I had come expecting minimalism, the kind of music you’d probably prefer to listen to alone. That was my mistake. Not a single track from Senior made the set list, and looking back on the evening, I couldn’t be happier that the band decided to withhold those songs. All of Royksopp’s albums balance a range of emotions. Senior is considered the exception, as the songs never come nearly as close to the light-hearted melodies of their earlier hits. In the context of their work, Senior succeeds as a welcome detour into a more introspective theme. Instead of trying to force this heaviness into their set, the group focused on finding middle ground. Each song they played seemed to build upon the energy of the previous, balancing the mood against the excitement of a new element. When they started playing "Sparks," a downtempo piece that's slow and seductive, the incredibly talented Anneli Drecker (a contributor on several of their albums) took to the stage to pour her voice out into the crowd. Considering that so many of Royksopp’s best songs feature a female vocalist, her arrival was very promising. One of the things that makes seeing a Royksopp show so much fun is the infectious charisma that the band brings to the set. So many electronica

amn These Vampires,” the first track from the Mountain Goats’ latest album deftly states, “feast like pagans/never get enough/sleep like dead men/wake up like dead men.” So it seems, the band can never die, sentenced to producing allusion-speckled raconteur musings forevermore. Indeed, March 29th will mark the release of their 18th album and 13th studio LP, All Eternals Deck, which will be the band’s first release with Merge Records. All Eternals Deck maintains frontman John Darnielle’s long lineage of concept albums, exploring themes of perpetuation and incarnation in “newborn sons and daughters spat from distant stars.” The metamorphosis of the Mountain Goats’ sound throughout the decades from meticulous narrations and tinkling tunes of the ‘90s to autobiographical/historical/epistemological screeches of the ‘00s - is especially pronounced in All Eternals Deck, no doubt influenced by death metal guru and co-producer Erik Rutan. However, long-time fans would be pleased to find that “Beautiful Gas Mask” and “Outer Scorpion Squadron” are still marinated in the imprecise chord progressions and tuning arrangements that seasoned their signature lo-fi distortions of old hits such as “Love Love Love” and “The Black Ice Cream Song,” treating those “old Goaters” to a familiar flavor. The album’s nimble lyrics and synergistic instrumentals establish Darnielle and company as honed, prolific musicians who consistently sidestep triteness and complacency to keep their sound engaging. “Lead a long life if you’re lucky/hope it never ends,” as Darnielle proclaims, encapsulates the Mountain Goats’ enduring ability to produce songs that leave listeners satisfied. —Belinda Gu

ith so many rap albums promoting messages about sex, guns and drugs, Heroes in the Healing of the Nation aims to counter these by promoting leadership, morality and inspiration. Emcees Zumbi (of Zion I) & the Grouch (of Living Legends fame) eloquently deliver these words with flow and finesse. Backed by AmpLive’s (Zion I) ill beats, the ensemble proves that hip-hop can blow your mind without the brutality of guns. Zion I & the Grouch go all out for this album, incorporating guitars, horns and various strings into the beats that reverberate with soul. These rhythms back clever, welldelivered lyrics as they advocate hero ideologies. Even with obscure tracks like “I Used to be a Vegan,” with raps about — you guessed it — being a vegan, the Bay Area hip-hop partners manage to make mozzarella cheese sound dope. Although the album promotes living a virtuous life, it never sounds preachy. The rhymes and metaphors that Zumbi & the Grouch spit are not direct enough to sound instructive, but still project a vibe of morality. AmpLive’s DJ skills also make the ideas more approachable, as the ethical beliefs in tracks like “Healing of the Nation” are easy to understand and agree with when propelled by slick lines and ultrasonic beats. With all the negativity surrounding rap and hip-hop, it’s a refreshing change to see Zion I & the Grouch shine a positive light on the genre. Heroes offers a poetically virtuous outlook on life, encouraging people to elevate themselves. These hip-hop “heroes” invite all to rise above thug life by becoming saviors of a nation in desperate need of healing. —Ian Birnam

Norwegian good. Though the musical pair was touring in support of their newest release, they started the evening off with the favorites for which they’ve become famous. acts boil down to one or two people standing at their keyboards or turntables and barely lifting their fingers; the classic complaint is that nothing happens on the stage. Royksopp makes it a point to avoid this stereotype. Along with the lovely Drecker, who sang in roughly a third of the songs played, the duo also had a guitarist and bassist with them, and as is the custom with any Royksopp show, all five of them were running around and adorning various costumes whenever they had a moment to do so. For “The Girl and the Robot,” Berge put on a glowing-eyed robot mask, creating the impression of a very hip Darth Vader, and Brundtland spent a song skipping around the stage wearing a pillow case over his head. These are the kind of details you can’t help but appreciate, as

no one wants to go to a party if the host isn’t having fun. All in all, I walked away more excited about Royksopp than when I arrived. Interspersed throughout the set were various surprises: a reinterpretation of the third movement of Steve Reich's minimalist classic "Electric Counterpoint;" a cover of Kate Bush's hit single "Wuthering Heights;" the yetto-be-released track "Have Another Cherry;" and to end it all (who'd have guessed?), a remix of Kings of Leon's "The Immortals." Never before has it felt so good to see a show that doesn't meet a single one of my expectations. But, maybe that's not a fair statement ­­— I definitely expected a good time.

oubtless one leading reason why the world declines honoring us whalemen, is this: they think that, at best, our vocation amounts to a butchering sort of business; and that when actively engaged therein, we are surrounded by all manner of defilements.” So says Ishmael about the business of whaling in “Moby-Dick.” But taken out of context, this passage could be about film critics. I’m not proposing I am any sort of “film critic” ­— I’m getting there, okay? — but here I speak for the lot, so let’s assume I’m one of them. Some people think we really are butchers, that we set out to destroy films by lacerating them with sharp prose. In writing reviews, I never intend to draw blood (but it’s better if I do). Critics are prigs, I agree, especially when they start name-dropping and making references. A review becomes unintelligible that way. It’s like when you’re walking down the street and a crazy guy accosts you, opens his coat and shows you all the shiny shit he’s got for sale. But in my columns, I know I’ve been guilty of accosting you with all the film-buff-ery I’ve got in my cinephile’s overcoat. When you’ve seen a lot of movies and you’re geek-ing out, the impulse is hard to resist. So let me offer one of my little treasures, my memory of a scene from Woody Allen’s gravely serious film “Interiors” (1978) that entirely stands for what it means to be a critic. In an Allen film, all the world can be distilled into a dinner party. At this one, the characters of “InteriCheck out what Ryan’s got in his overcoat at rlattanzio@dailycal.org. ors” are all getting really talky, as UC Berkeley AD - 4-7-2011B_Layout 1 3/4/11 4:40 PM Page 1

people do in Allen movies, and start discussing a play they’d all seen. Some of the women wax intellectual and chew on the moral issues of the play. They’re all so deep or whatever, but there’s one dinner guest who liked the play well enough but can’t follow what’s being said. “I didn’t get that. To me it wasn’t such a big deal,” she says. The other women, over-educated jerks they are, hate this, calling the one who “didn’t get that” a vulgarian. At this harmless dinner turned amateur panel discussion, we see very different kinds of critics in these people: There are those who are cerebral and dismissive of those who aren’t, and then there are those who just feel art on a gut level. A film critic must find that slippery balance between the two because otherwise they’re just being snobbish, or lazy. As they attempt to explain those base (“vulgarian”) feelings while also pointing the reader toward something they might’ve missed, the critic plays a quintessential part in the movies. The critic takes a film out of a vacuum, unfurls it from its self-enclosure and places it in a context ­— only then can the movie achieve some kind of transcendence. Why should you see this movie? Why should it exist in the world? My favorite critics answer those questions, but I’ll readily admit that I don’t always deliver in that regard. For someone as mad about film as I am, those “whys” are the big existential questions. Doubtless one reason why the world declines honoring critics is this: They think the vocation amounts to a gratuitous sort of business. But the critics, the vital contributors to a film’s cominginto-the-world, will be necessary as long as there will be movies. To use a crude analogy, the critic is there at a film’s birth to get the baby delivered. If a film played in the theater and no critic was there to say something about it, was it ever really there at all? I think not, in a way.

Confusion is far from certainty, but ironically that is the only constant given throughout the film. Stevens knows just as little as the audience does, and his desperate attempts to seek order in a chaotic situation makes it easy to empathize with him. The lack of information he is given regarding his mission is appalling. Unwillingly thrust into the Source Code — a program that allows him to relive the last eight minutes of another man’s life over and over again — he seemingly cannot remember where he was before entering it. In an attempt to save others from the bomber who killed the passengers (on the same train he's riding), Officer Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) and Dr. Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright) force Stevens to relive the moment continuously. In this fashion the story unfolds, where events seem to precede understanding and memories are made inaccessible. Stevens’ growing paranoia, brought about by the nature of his mission, manifests itself through his heightened senses. A bag of chips crackle; coffee splashes noisily; a man grumbles that he is late and a student stares at a notebook in preparation for a psychology midterm. The cameras flash erratically from passenger to passenger, and close shots of Gyllenhaal swiftly observing the passengers display his suspicion of every passenger on board, no matter how utterly normal they may be. His suspicion is shared by the audience, who follow his lead in finding fault in his fellow passengers. Gyllenhaal plays Stevens as painfully human, vulnerable and frustrated. He snarls and shouts in anger; in other moments, his pensive stare fills the screen. In a moment of deep sorrow, he struggles to hold back tears, biting his lips and wiping his eyes when he cannot contain them. Gyllenhaal succeeds in making Stevens a man who, despite having faults and weaknesses, tries hard to make things right again. The eight-minute limit placed upon Stevens’ constant travel grounds the film’s pacing, despite its heart-racing moments and surprises. It doesn’t crawl, nor does it race ahead, but steps steadily into an unexpectedly peaceful conclusion. Just as the audience knows Stevens will be thrown back into the Source Code after eight minutes, so they know that the movie will eventually reach some kind of answer and an end. The film’s strength lies in its ability to simultaneously confuse and shock its viewers. As with most movies, there are questions left unanswered — the dubious technology, for one, and the questionable behavior of some characters — but that doesn’t deter the movie from being thoroughly entertaining, and at times deeply moving and surprisingly funny.

Chang said the center also serves as a training institution for neuroscience and engineering students, and even provides coursework for aspiring students in the fields. “It’s one of those things where at this point it’s mostly at the research stage, and part of the goal of combining efforts is to have more of a clinical emphasis,” Ganguly said. “We’re trying to tackle problems that no one discipline can tackle very easily.”

Donothan Bailey Does Not Let the Cal Men’s Gymnastics Team’s Termination Diminish His Confidence on the Floor by Camellia Senemar Staff Writer

T

here won’t be a Cal men’s gymnastics team after this season, even though Donothan Bailey is just a sophomore. That’s not the first time he’s heard this news. “The school gets rid of a sport that does as well as we do, for money,” Bailey says. “This sport and others mean so much to students and it’s ridiculous to me that they would get rid of these opportunities.” Despite the fact that Cal eliminated a championship-rich program, Bailey remains confident. The ups and downs in his life have come to be as significant to who he is as high start values and point deductions to his sport. He has always competed in six events for the all-around title, his favorite being pommel horse. Doesn’t he get tired? “Yeah, but I could never imagine myself not doing all six events,” he says. “Even if I was the best at only three, I wouldn’t sacrifice any of them. “Doing all-around in gymnastics is everything to me.” This self-assured attitude he exudes has translated into breakout individual performances this season. It surprised many when he managed to win the all-around title against topranked Oklahoma back in February despite Cal’s overall loss. At the Stanford Open later that month, the Bears placed third out of three teams, but Bailey’s performances stunned once again as he captured the all-around. He was awarded the MPSF Gymnast of the Week and the California Muscle Milk Athlete of the Week back-toback, both firsts in his young career. The Lake Forest, Calif., native is steadily improving and it’s unfortunate — for the program and its supporters — that Cal won’t be able to propel him to his full potential. The Bears have been told three times that there is still a chance for the program to stay alive — but Bailey is not holding his breath. There was a time he was. s a child, he gasped for air when he would jump on furniture and vault over kitchen counters. Bailey’s mother, Ellen Cole, signed him up for basketball, football, soccer and gymnastics when he was around seven. But as Bailey grew older, his passion for gymnastics was obvious, and that was the sport that stuck. Cole, a single mother, raised his son while working two jobs. His parents separated when Bailey was young and although he still sees his father from time to time, she is the main influence in his life. “She’s basically the reason why I’m at all successful,” Bailey said. In spite of Cole’s adversity, her unwavering spirit not only kept a roof over the heads of Bailey, his brother and two sisters, but also shaped his undaunting and fearless mindset.

The self-proclaimed mama’s boy does have one admission. “I definitely almost cried when I left home,” Bailey says. “My mom has been to all my competitions so far this season.” Now it seems more certain he will be leaving his current Cal teammates as well. ith the final season of Cal men’s gymnastics wrapping up, the sophomore is making sure he keeps his options open, in case he decides not to stay in Berkeley. “Something inside me kind of tells me that NCAA gymnastics is a good thing for me to stick with,” he says. “I don’t think I’m ready to give it up for two years.” There are three schools he is considering transferring to: Stanford, Oklahoma and Michigan. However, his goals extends beyond the college campus. “For starters, I’d love to make national team,” Bailey says. “I feel like I’m very capable of doing that. “And obviously Olympics, I would like to say is in my future.” For now, he is concentrated on his second — and final — season with the Bears. Bailey appears to be getting the attention he deserves on the floor, but it wasn’t without some hardship and guidance. Last August at the VISA Championships, one of the two big competitions to grab a spot on the national team (the other is the Winter Cup Challenge), Bailey had a weak showing and it turned into an “absolute disaster.” It was that failure which pushed him to work harder this year and reach the level he is at right now. He also attributes much of his success to first-year Cal coach Tim McNeill, who graduated from Cal in 2008 as a five-time NCAA champion. McNeill took the helm when Barry Weiner retired after a 19-year tenure. “Tim is one of the greatest things that has ever happened in my career,” Bailey says. “He was and still is a great gymnast. I don’t want to be a bad gymnast in front of one of the greatest.” Although Bailey hasn’t experienced any sidelining injuries this season like some of his teammates, he still has to fight through pain every time he steps on the floor. “When you’re doing a routine there’s so much adrenaline,” Bailey says. “It’s kind of like jumping out of a plane, and then especially when you hit your routine, you get so pumped up.” For the record, Bailey has never jumped out of a plane. Yet, after he competes for the last time in blue and gold with his 18 teammates, Bailey will be letting go, checking out the views and finally landing back on his feet. The twists and turns in the air do not seem to cloud his vision at the moment. “This is my team,” Bailey says. “Cal gymnastics is my life. Regardless of where I end up next year, that changes absolutely nothing about how I feel now.”
