By Noor Al-Samarrai | Staff nsamarrai@dailycal.org While Alameda County has made great strides in preventing and reducing homelessness among families, veterans and the mentally ill, the number of homeless single adults has swelled since 2009, according to the

results of a biannual census released last month. Conducted in January — by EveryOne Home, a nonprofit organization that coordinates the efforts of the county’s homeless agencies — the census shows little significant change in the absolute number of homeless individuals in the county. According to census findings, single adults now comprise 73 per-

cent of the county’s total homeless population. Since 2009, the number of people living in homeless families fell by 28 percent, the mentally ill homeless population dropped by 19 percent and the number of homeless veterans declined by 13 percent. However, because the population of homeless single adult individuals rose by 10 percent,

ASUC Store Operations Board Death penalty upheld for Berkeley man holds retreat to tackle issues By Sarah Burns | Staff sburns@dailycal.org

By Jonathan Tam | Staff jtam@dailycal.org The ASUC Store Operations Board discussed the possibility of a new charter and reviewed the financial statuses of businesses under its jurisdiction at last weekend’s retreat. Although no official board decisions

were made, attendees did briefly discuss the decision to postpone rechartering. A decision to recharter would have involved adopting a version of UCLA’s operation board’s system, which includes more students on the board, set times for meetings and “more substantial work,” former ASUC President Noah Stern said at a March 9 ASUC Senate meeting.

The California Supreme Court unanimously upheld the death penalty Thursday for a Berkeley man convicted of murder over 10 years ago. After being found guilty of fatally shooting his nephew and sister in 1995 in their Berkeley home, Erven Blacksher was sentenced to death in 1999 by the Alameda County Supe-

rior Court — a decision that was upheld last week in San Francisco. According to court documents, the shootings were out of hostility between Blacksher and his nephew Torey Lee after Lee and his mother — Blacksher’s sister, Versenia Lee — moved into the home Blacksher shared with his mother Eva Blacksher. In the early morning hours of May 9, 1995, Versenia Lee found Erven Blacksher in the living room of the home with a baseball bat, saying he

wanted to kill his nephew when he came home. Lee called the police and had Blacksher arrested, securing a restraining order the same morning. Two days later, on May 11, Blacksher returned to the home at about 7 a.m and shot Torey and Versenia Lee. Eva Blacksher told police she saw Versenia Lee fall and various neighbors corroborated the time of the gunshots. One neighbor also said she saw Erven Blacksher leave the house “as if he was

Under the afternoon sun today, Berkeley locals wander down a few pedestrian-only blocks of Telegraph Avenue, enjoying live music and street vendors. On the last Sunday of every summer month, a monthly event called LastSundaysFest, turns Telegraph — for a four-block stretch between Bancroft and Dwight Ways — into an outdoor market, with vendors lining the sides of the street and passersby flooding the middle. Browsing cus-

tomers can choose from usual fair grub, like kettle corn and snow cones, as well as other products, like bracelets made of twisted metal forks or organic produce delivered to your doorstep. Between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. today, visitors can listen to live music, including a performance at 4 p.m. by a Led Zeppelin tribute band and another at 5 p.m. by Foxtails Brigade, a San Francisco-based music collective.

the county’s entire homeless population was reduced by an insignificant 3.8 percent. These exigencies may be due to shifts in focus — and funding — at the federal, state and local levels. “The federal plan ... expanded to really focus on family, children and youth and veterans’ homelessness,” said Elaine deColigny, executive director of EveryOne Home. “That has meant that some of the new resources have been focused on those subpopulations of the homeless.” Unlike the Bush administration, which had no federal plan to accomplish its ambitious goal of eliminating the nation’s chronically homeless population — individuals who are disabled or have been homeless for at least a year — the Obama administration unveiled a strategy called Opening Doors, which specifically targets homelessness among children, families and veterans in addition to individuals, said Eduardo Cabrera, a regional coordinator for the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. “Certainly having a federal focus on (these groups) affects how communities prioritize their response — and it should,” he said, adding that the council is in the process of more formally requesting that local jurisdictions align their own anti-homelessness strategies with the federal plan. Alameda County’s progress in family homelessness prevention and reduction is an anomaly in national and state statistics showing upticks in family homelessness and downturns among individuals, according to Cabrera. County resources have increasingly focused on homelessness prevention and the provision of permanent housing rather than emergency or temporary shelters, which has played a key role in the results of the 2011 census, deColigny said. Cabrera agreed that the role of permanent housing programs cannot be underestimated, particularly for the chronically homeless who require services that are difficult to deliver in a shelter or street environment.

“Housing should be the first response to a person’s homelessness,” he said. Veterans’ homelessness has also been specifically targeted at the federal level, with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki making it his personal goal to end it by 2015, deColigny said. State and county resources have also increasingly focused on providing services to the mentally ill homeless. Since 2009, the county’s Behavioral Health Care Services has provided more than $4 million annually for short- and long-term housing financial assistance using state Mental Health Services Act funds for homeless and at-risk people living with severe mental illness, according to EveryOne Home. Indeed, Berkeley-based Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency, a major provider of county homeless services, receives nearly half its funding from the county’s Behavioral Health Care Services, said Robert Barrer, assistant director of the organization. This funding focus has been accompanied by cuts in General Assistance spending, which is meant to support the county’s adults and emancipated minors without income. The cuts favor youth, the permanently disabled, the elderly and those already receiving housing and financial assistance. DeColigny said that in the meantime, help for those assessed to be fit for employment has fallen by the wayside. While men comprised 75.5 percent of the homeless population in 2009, they grew to 79.5 percent in 2011. “There are fewer resources targeted to this growing population of unsheltered males who don’t have minor children with them, and disproportionately the recession has affected the lower-income and less educated,” deColigny said. “This group has been hanging on by their fingernails.” Noor Al-Samarrai is the lead communities reporter.

research & ideas

Piss, pastries and Paris t was nearly 7 a.m. Paris time, a full nine hours ahead of my body’s clock, which thought I was still in the Bay Area even after a 13-hour flight and two nights of no sleep. Under these conditions — with around 90 pounds of clothes and books that I didn’t end up reading — my first metro trip from the Charles de Gaulle Airport to my hotel in the 13th arrondissement was, needless to say, horrible. While packing three days prior, I figured, “Hey, six weeks abroad, I might as well take full advantage of American Airlines’ rather generous baggage restrictions� — one large, free checked bag, one carry-on and one personal item. So, I filled my bags to their breaking point. But after lugging my belongings up the first flight of stairs at our transfer point, I wished I had packed lighter. Already sweating, I rolled my suitcases through a long hallway and down two sets of stairs, hitting each cement block with a loud, echoing clap. I was relieved to sit down on the uncomfortable green, plastic chairs on the next train, not knowing how many flights of stairs awaited me at our final station (there were three). By the last set of stairs, I couldn’t muster the strength to go any further — my friend had to retrieve me and my luggage from the second step. It wasn’t until my next few metro rides that I began to realize that the smelly, old subway would be central to my entire experience in Paris. Of the countless French-isms I gleaned from riding the metro, these four ultimately enhanced my understanding of the city’s culture: One: personal bubbles don’t exist in Paris. In America, personal space is inherent in all public social interactions — we generally respect the idea that everyone is entitled to the immediate foot of space surrounding their person. But, there’s no such thing as a personal bubble in Paris. French people occupy space as efficiently as possible, meaning they leave no room in between each other. On the metro, especially during rush hour, Parisians fit as many bodies as they can into a single car, forcing many faces into armpits — and awkward physical contact between unknown body parts from unidentifiable persons — causing a sharp increase in temperature thanks to all that body heat. wo: Parisians love their dogs. At home, my dad insists on bringing our family’s two dogs everywhere we go — to Peet’s, Office Depot, Safeway, etc. The dogs like to go on trips, he says, even if that means they’re stuck in the hot, cramped trunk of the Suburban. In Paris, nobody leaves their pups in the car. In Paris, dogs have the same perks as people, even the right

Stephanie Baer sbaer@dailycal.org to sit on a seat in the metro or on a chair at a cafe. Parisians allow their dogs to poop wherever they like and almost always refrain from disposing of their waste. I’ll just say if you make it out of the city without stepping in dog poop, you’ve managed to do the near impossible. hree: Parisians speak quietly. The only conversations I could ever hear when traveling on the metro were the ones between me and my friends from my travel study group. Even while speaking at what we considered a normal volume level, we were the loud, obnoxious Americans and the only people who could be heard throughout the train. Despite the French people’s disregard for personal space, personal conversations are kept private. No one talks above the purr of a cat. It’s rude to do so. Four: Parisians relieve themselves wherever they please. Immediately after passing through an underground metro gate, a gust of air smothers you with the smell of piss, and if you walk a bit deeper into the metro tunnel, the smell of butter croissants — sold in most stations — meets head to head with that of human urine, creating an odd dichotomy between savory and foul. Parisians, who are well-known for their affinity to publicly display affection, are also proponents of public urination. During my five weeks in Paris, I saw firsthand three counts of Parisians peeing in broad daylight — one of which involved a woman in her 20s who squatted along the Seine River next to Pont Marie and took a surprisingly wellaimed piss, for a female. If the Eiffel Tour is the global icon of Paris, then the metro is the true symbol of the city itself. Although the metro has few conveniences, like a rare elevator, and possesses a constant smell of urine alongside the harsh sound of trains screeching on tracks, it played an integral part in my Parisian experience. And not just because it got me everywhere I wanted to go, but because it allowed me to see Paris stripped of its cafes, globally-renowned monuments and museums and delicieux food.

A supernova — discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory — is the closest of its kind found in almost 40 years. It will not be visible to the naked eye in a week or two.

Researchers find brightest, closest supernova in years Pardini discusses how Check Victoria astronomers were able to track Online and find the new supernova.

By Victoria Pardini | Staff vpardini@dailycal.org

www.dailycal.org

Astronomers from UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory helped find a “holy grail� Wednesday night when they discovered a supernova relatively close to Earth. The supernova — discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory, a fouryear-long survey operated from the Palomar Observatory in California — is the brightest and closest of its kind found in almost 40 years. It is located in the Pinwheel Galaxy, just over 20 million light years away. “You can’t hope to find something like this,� said survey team leader Peter Nugent, a scientist at Berkeley Lab and campus adjunct professor of astronomy. “Literally the last time something like this happened, I was a freshman in college. Something like this, you just don’t bank on it.� He said the program usually finds several supernovae nightly, but nothing as close or bright as this discovery. The project involves a collaboration between institutions, including UC Berkeley, the Berkeley lab and Oxford University. The project takes about 40 gigabytes of digital images nightly, covering about 600 square degrees of the sky, or 1,200 Earth moons. The

data is then transferred from the observatory to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Berkeley lab. Researchers compare past and recent images and search for any differences in the pictures. According to Brad Cenko, a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley and a collaborator in the survey, the project had two main goals — to identify transient sources like supernovae and novae to improve other studies in the field and to find new variable phenomena that have never been seen. “This is a pretty rare occurrence,� Cenko said. “It would fall more in that latter category (of goals) — that needle in a haystack, very rare but very rewarding discovery.� Nugent said that the program received data from the observatory on the supernova, and within hours, other collaborators on the project were sent coordinates for follow-up observations. The first spectra of the explosion were observed by telescopes in the Canary Islands by Oxford collaborators, followed by telescopes at the Lick Observatory in California and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. In the aftermath of the supernova’s

By True Shields | Staff tshields@dailycal.org In order to continue the implementation of efficient, integrated health care across the nation, federal policy regarding safety net providers must be strengthened, according to a brief recently released by UC Berkeley School of Law researchers. Fellows at the school’s Warren Institute’s Health, Economic and Family Security Program released the first part of a three-part study Thursday that recommends changes to the current health care system through the creation of accountable care organizations — a model of health care that financially rewards both patients and doctors for speedy and full recoveries, according to the brief. The brief states that the implementation of these organizations could help curb health care costs for and, more specifically, bring better health care to low-income and disabled patients. “New models of providing health care, like the ACO, are desperately needed to improve health care and bend the cost curve,� said Matthew Chayt, a fellow at the institute and a co-author of the brief. “People in the (low-income) safety net need these reforms even more than most.� The study — the product of a joint effort between the institute and the campus’s School of Public Health — was funded through a $150,000 grant awarded to the university by the Blue Shield of California Foundation. The grant, awarded to the researchers in December, funds a year-long analysis of health care reform through research and fieldwork. The brief proposes policy changes regarding several issues — such

Bahar Navab, campus Graduate Assembly president and chair of the rechartering committee, said in an email that the board was considering the notion of rechartering because it does not follow its current charter in certain cases such as enforcing inner committee meetings. “This has a big impact on how productive our meetings can be as most of the analyses and strategizing should be happening in those committees,� she said in the email. However, before it decides whether to recharter, the board plans to follow the current charter more closely for a year to see how effectively and efficiently it will serve the board, Navab said in the email. It will then reconsider the possibility of rechartering in one year if the current charter does not prove effective. In addition to the issue of rechartering, board members at the retreat

also discussed issues facing some ASUC assets, such as the continued deficit of the Cal Lodge near Lake Tahoe. Between the years of 2008 and 2011, Cal Lodge endured a net loss of $125,881, according to a document presented by Associate ASUC Auxiliary Director Tom Spivey at the retreat. The lodge has suffered from high maintenance costs and a lack of use by students. Jeff Deutsch, director of the Cal Student Store said that offers from outside merchants have resulted in lost revenue for the student store. A free download of the Adobe Creative Suite program presented at Caltopia to campus faculty, staff and students will cost the bookstore about $33,000 in lost sales. The next official board meeting of the school year is scheduled for Sept. 23, according to Ryan Landis, chair of the board.

Blacksher: Mental health issues were source of debate through the process From front in a hurry� after the shots, according to court documents. Erven Blacksher later claimed that as he was leaving he saw two masked men enter the house looking “for Torey� but did not stop them because he thought they would not harm his mother or sister if he did not interfere, according to the documents. The prosecution in the case contested that Blacksher was driven to shoot Torey Lee because Versenia Lee began paying more attention to Torey Lee than to him. The prosecution used relatives’ accounts of Blacksher repeatedly threatening to kill his nephew and blaming him for dishonoring his mother by having friends over to the house and reportedly selling cocaine. The defense in the case motioned for the repeal of the death sentence by arguing that Blacksher was mentally incompetent to stand trial. They supported the argument by detailing a long line of mental health related hospital-

izations and challenging the court’s decision to rely on a third, tie-breaking mental health evaluation after the first two came to opposite decisions regarding Blacksher’s health. The defense also claimed that while the contested third report showed that Blacksher was willing to work with his attorney, it did not affirm that he was capable of doing so and thus did not prove his ability to legally stand trial. The state Supreme Court rejected these claims in the decision written by Justice Carol Corrigan and defended the third doctor’s report on the grounds that Blacksher “understood the charges against him, was able to discuss his legal situation coherently, and was willing to cooperate with his attorney.� Defense attorney Kathy Moreno said in a text message Sunday she would appeal the court’s decision within 90 days. Sarah Burns is the lead crime reporter.

Supernova: Sighting will help improve knowledge of progenitor solar system From Page 3 initial explosion, it will continue to get brighter, according to Joshua Bloom, a collaborator with the project and an assistant professor of astronomy at UC Berkeley. He added that in a week or two, while the supernova will not be visible to the naked eye, it will be bright enough to be detected by individuals with a small telescope. “In that sense, it opens up the possibility for amateurs to get involved,� Bloom said. “It’s not just an esoteric supernova that somebody with the biggest telescope can observe — it’s a supernova for everybody.� This sighting will give researchers a better understanding of the progenitor solar system from which the supernova developed. Additionally,

researchers will be able to make some key observations about the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Researchers will continue to study the supernova as it brightens and expands. However, because of its current proximity to the sun, the supernova will only be visible for about one more month before it will be hidden from view for three months. Because it is so close to Earth, observation can then continue periodically for over a decade until it eventually fades away. “It’s kind of quickly on its way to becoming a classic supernova,� Bloom said. “This is just the beginning of what’s going to be a very long affair with a very close-by explosive event.�

health care: Need to amend federal regulations on nonprofits addressed From Page 3 as the confusion regarding current fraud and abuse laws as well as what the incentivization system organizations would employ — that prevent the organizations from operating under current legislation. The brief also addresses the need to amend federal regulations to allow nonprofit organizations that partner with for-profit institutions to retain their tax status. According to Chayt, one of the primary concerns regarding the implementation process is the large startup cost — normally incurred from expenditures for medical equipment, data systems and staffing — associated with creating the organizations. “Many providers across the country just aren’t equipped to do this because

they are very small and don’t have the capital to implement these systems,� said Stephen Shortell, dean of the campus’s School of Public Health. As part of the study, Shortell has developed a “readiness assessment� survey that he hopes will address concerns about providers’ ability to convert to the new system. He said results from trial runs in Alameda and Orange counties, which should be produced by September, will help determine the viability of large-scale implementation of the organizations. “I’m also optimistic that if we get enough ACOs running across the country, in the next few years after that we will see definite improvements,� Shortell said.

—Red Hot Chili Peppers, ‘Monarchy of Roses’

ALBUM REVIEW By Philip Julius | Staff pjulius@dailycal.org

W

hen it was announced that John Frusciante, guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was leaving, concern arose about the new direction of the band. The perpetually boy-faced, angel-voiced guitar savant, once the driving force behind the Peppers’ Roman-candle hooks, has been replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, past sideman for such artists as PJ Harvey and Beck. The new directions found on the Peppers’ new album I’m With You are in keeping with the Klinghoffer’s punk and noise background. Opening with the disco-fueled noise jam “Monarchy of Roses,” the track sets the tone for the expansive album, one that leaves behind the virtuosic hooks of past singles like “Snow (Hey Oh)” and “Can’t Stop” in favor of moodier cuts like those found on Californication. The funked-up dance stylings re-

cur on the first single “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” yet the song remains on familiar lyrical ground with its “hey now” chorus refrain. So much of the album builds on the dance-oriented tracks that earned Franz Ferdinand stardom a few years ago. Sonically, bassist Flea takes center stage, pumping manic funk energy into every track. Drummer Chad Smith lays down fiery percussion while Klinghoffer rounds things out with ambient, atmospheric guitar noise. Together they provide vocalist Anthony Kiedis with a solid post-disco backing for his rap-inflected melodies. But if I’m With You is low on hooks, its pleasures come from the fact that

the songs evolve more than ever before, bursting with unexpected vocals, guitars and rare glimpses of piano. The Peppers are still set on the idea of the longerplaying album, especially in the wake of double LP Stadium Arcadium. But in the face of a lineup change, the revamped Peppers are still bursting with new ideas, straddling the fine line between their funk roots and exploring satisfying new ground.

ucempowerU.berkeley.edu

of Justice’s Office of Violence Against Women to build awareness and help prevent violent

acts from happening to anyone in our community. Addressing these issues is a part of the University’s commitment to providing you with a healthy and safe learning and work environment. A key component is an atmosphere free of violence, coercion and fear. This new effort includes the following actions: • All incoming UC students will attend an in-person education session

during their first semester that addresses laws, campus policies, reporting options and resources to help survivors. (For more information, visit geneq.berkeley.edu/empowerU.) • A new website—ucempowerU.berkeley.edu—is now available to provide information on where to find help on each UC

campus, continue to educate the community and reduce the risk of occurrence through education. •

Campus police and student conduct officers will receive specialized training on responding to these crimes.

I want to commend the work of dedicated students, faculty and staff who regularly provide our community with prevention education and assistance: UCPD, Gender Equity Resource Center, University Health Services, Campus Climate and Compliance, Student Affairs and many others. I invite you to join this effort. Sincerely,

Robert J. Birgeneau

Beirut THE RIP TIDE [Pompeii Records]

hen Beirut, the solo project of New Mexico native Zach Condon, debuted in 2006, it was a welcome blast from some accordion-filled past. With its resounding chorus of brass orchestration and romantic images of Ye Olde Europe, the band’s debut album, Gulag Orkestar, was a refreshingly cheery introduction for the Southwestern wunderkind. In the five years since, Condon has consistently produced this upbeat brand of retro folk, but with the band’s latest

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks MIRROR TRAFFIC [Matador Records]

S

tephen Malkmus, the legendary leader of Pavement, has returned with a new solo outing, Mirror Traffic. Opening with the jaunty “Tigers,” Mirror Traffic is chock-full of the indie hooks that made Pavement the end-all-be-all of the genre. “No One (Is As I Are Be)” has a quiet, majestic quality about it found in the horns and brushed guitar, recalling producer Beck’s folk masterpiece Sea Change. The fast and loose technique that fueled so many Pavement records is in full effect. At 15 songs, Mirror Traffic is sprawling yet extremely varied in mood, but unfortunately the album is unable to maintain the energy of its explosive opening. The middle sags with droning tunes filled with go-nowhere solos, most noticeably on

release, The Rip Tide, the nostalgic nods are still present, but with a previously unheard level of melancholia and technical experimentation. Despite its evident nod to traditional Balkan music and the pop of the French chanson, Beirut has carved a unique niche in a world of increasingly ubiquitous electronica. Condon’s orchestrations of triumphant trumpets and strings are nothing short of a soothing symphony where acoustic music still reigns supreme. And with The Rip Tide, not much of that has changed. “A Candle’s Fire” opens the album with a dulcet accordion that soon broadens into a bombastic harmony

of tambourine, trumpet and Condon’s versatile vibrato. It’s a typical Beirut track, fusing pop-fueled vocals and plucky instrumentals. However, it’s on the second song, “Santa Fe,” where the tide begins to drift. “Santa Fe” begins with the beats of an electronic drum. On any other album by any other band, this wouldn’t be out of place. But with Beirut, the patron of bygone sounds, the technological upgrade emerges as off-putting instead of evolutionary. The song soon blossoms with a bevy of brass that overshadows the electronic input, but those subtle instances of electronica may be the only note of interest in an

Podcasts on this week’s album releases, from Mirror Traffic to Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks.

“Share the Red.” “Long Hard Book” offers a warped version of ’70s folk rock, complete with a delayed, fuzzed-out Floyd solo. “Tune Grief ” restores the album’s manic presence, pushing the listener toward the end as a fast, spazzy punk tune clocking in at barely over two minutes. A revered performer in his own right, Mirror Traffic producer Beck has also produced fellow noise guru Thurston Moore’s album, a folk endeavor that is a far cry from Sonic Youth’s wall of sound. Beck’s sonic fingerprints are most present in the country-Western slide guitar that peppers the album. However, Mirror Traffic spends as much time being whimsical and hushed as it does throwing punk-shrapnel hand grenades. Though everything Malkmus does will be compared to Pavement, Mirror Traffic stands on its own merits. So much of what made Pavement so appealing is present on the album, from the instinctive, jangly songwriting to the geekage-infused lyrics. Mirror Traffic will satiate the old guard and fledgling indie fans alike. — Philip Julius

The Nightwatchman WORLD WIDE REBEL SONGS [New West Records]

H

ot off the release of his last EP Union Town, Tom Morello has now given us World Wide Rebel Songs, the third LP as his political-folk alter ego, the Nightwatchman. Although the folk aspect is still dominant, Morello fuses it with his frequency-shifting electric guitar style. Backed by his Freedom Fighter Orchestra, the Nightwatchman’s latest effort blends acoustic strums with intense electric riffs, creating a potent Molotov cocktail of protest songs. The unity of Morello’s guitar genres come together in a perfect proportion. Although he is more well-known for the warped solos and heavy grooves from his Rage Against the Machine days, Morello still stays true to his acoustic melodies. “Speak

otherwise monotonous musical output. For much of The Rip Tide, songs merge into one another, with little to no differentiation in style. “East Harlem” employs the same soft accordion as “A Candle’s Fire,” while the strings off “Port of Call” are an almost exact replica of those heard on Beirut’s previously released hit “Postcards from Italy.” There are some moments of refreshing content, from the plaintive piano on “The Rip Tide” to the despairing vocals on “Goshen.” But for the most part, The Rip Tide finds Beirut stuck, as the album title implies, between the sounds of the past and the present. — Jessica Pena

and Make Lightning” switches from octave-jumping solos to soulful acoustic lines with ease and finesse. The massive riffs of “It Begins Tonight” contrast with the rich chords of “Dogs of Tijuana,” creating a balance of each style that keeps Morello within his Nightwatchman persona. Besides the addition of a more amplified, effect-driven guitar, the album has typical characteristics of a Nightwatchman record. Morello’s smooth yet gruff voice flows over the tracks similar to the soothing roughness of Johnny Cash as he sings of left-wing, pro-union politics complete with catchy, protest-chanting choruses. While the Freedom Fighter Orchestra effectively back Morello, they don’t provide any noteworthy rhythms. They merely highlight Morello, allowing him to focus on his own instruments. Those hoping that the addition of an electric guitar means World Wide Rebel Songs will sound like a new Rage album should look elsewhere. Instead, Morello has created an album that allows him to incorporate both sides of his musical personalities: fiery political activist and revered guitar virtuoso. — Ian Birnam

Shots on goal: Cal 12, North Dakota STate 0

The Cal field hockey team could not have asked for a better start to its season. The Bears defeated No. 13 Michigan State, 4-3, in Louisville, KY, on Sunday afternoon. The thrilling overtime victory came a mere 24 hours after beating No. 16 Louisville in a slightly more convincing, 3-1, match. In Cal’s season opener against Louisville, sophomore forward Andrea Earle powered the Bears’ offense with an early goal in the ninth minute of regulation and an insurance goal late in the game to increase the lead to two. Senior forward Erin Magill broke a 1-1 tie in the 39th minute with an impressive goal off of a penalty corner. Senior goalkeeper Maddie Hand played the entire match, racking up five saves while allowing only one goal. Coach Shellie Onstead credited her team’s ability to get off to a fast start and convert their penalty corners in the victory. “(We) took advantage of our corner opportunities, which

“The girls got excited when they saw the fruits of their labor, because it worked exactly as they have seen in the training grounds,� McGuire said. Four minutes later, Benz struck the net again thanks to a through pass from midfielder Katie Bennett. Forwards Mekenna DeBack and Kory Lamet followed Benz’s lead to put the Bears up, 4-0. The Bears’ defense played to perfection in the first half, as goalkeeper Emily Kruger went into the break without having to make a single save. Cal’s offensive strikes did not stop in the second half. White, coming back from an off-season injury, scored two consecutive goals in the 56th and 66th minutes, scoring twice in one game for the first time in her career. DeBack scored her second goal of the match in the 83rd minute when she followed a shot from forward Rachel Mercik. As the Bears proved to be unstoppable, the Bison resorted to fouls to stop the flow and end the match as soon as possible. North Dakota State committed 11 fouls in the second half; forward Brooklyn Dyce was sent off in the 63rd minute, putting the 10-player Bison team at a greater disadvantage. When the dust cleared after the onslaught, Cal outshot North Dakota State, 19-3. Cal goalkeepers, Kruger and Kathleen

Up until the 50-minute mark, the Bears had dominated both sides of the ball with senior goalkeeper Maddie Hand doing her part in front of the net. However, the Spartans made a furious rally — scoring three times in under six minutes — to tie the game up at 3-3 with 14 minutes left in regulation. Cal once again locked down on defense, holding Michigan State without a shot attempt for the rest of regulation. In overtime, the Bears took advantage of a penalty corner and Erin Magill was able to score the decisive goal seven minutes in. Onstead was likewise pleased with how her team was able to go into a tough road environment and come out with a win. “At the start of the second half, Michigan State started to pressure, and we responded by scoring our third goal,� the 17thyear coach said. “Up to that point, it was the perfect match. Then the long weekend and the heat seemed to catch up with us, and we got a little complacent. “But we were able to come out with the win, and we learned a good lesson.�

For senior forward Katie Benz, the weekend trip to Honolulu was strictly business. “The beach and the temptation will be there, but first and foremost, this is a business trip to win games,� Benz said.

From back whipped it far post.� Minutes before the goal, there was a heated scramble for a 50-50 ball between Salciccia and Mankl]Zr% FZr ,% +))0 USF’s Diaz De Leon. Both received yellow cards, but the co-captain redeemed himself with the assist that handed the Bears’ their first goal of the 2011 season. USF had to deal with the threats of Salciccia and Fitzpatrick for the full 90 minutes. Not even the full capacity crowd under the lights at Negoesco Stadium in San Francisco could help the unranked Dons (0-1), who registered the loss. “This is not an easy place to play,� coach Kevin Grimes said. “The older guys are used to this, and it was great for the younger guys to experience a big crowd.� It seemed to be a battle of youth on the foggy Friday night, with both Cal and USF including a large number of underclassmen on the pitch. The Dons’ roster featured eight returning starters from their 2010 team, while the Bears experimented with eight new starters. Grimes inserted two true freshmen — defender Christian Dean and midfielder Seth Casiple — into the starting lineup. “That’s a great way to start your college career,� Grimes said. “All the young guys did exceptionally well. Cal held strong through the second half with the shutout, thanks to junior goalkeeper Robby Gogatz’s three saves. Both teams posted four shots before the intermission, but the Bears edged their Bay Area rivals by the final whistle with 12 shots to USF’s 10. Cal also held a six to three advantage in shots on target. The stats may suggest that the score should have been greater for the Bears, but the squad was just happy to have conquered its early season jitters and secure the win in the first leg of the Bay Area Classic. “We were all pushing I T forward and this is what we wanted as we really start to progress into the season,� Fitzpatrick said.

w. polo | Season Preview

Cold-blooded attackers return for hungry club By Annie Gerlach | Staff agerlach@dailycal.org Toward the end of practice last Saturday morning, the Cal men’s water polo team ran several late-game scenarios, all involving one team up by at least one point in the last five minutes. It’s a drill the Bears will want to keep perfecting, especially considering how last year ended: after a marathon season Cal lost, 12-10, to reigning three-peater USC in overtime at home in the NCAA championship game. However, the Bears aren’t torturing themselves over what went awry. This early in the season, they seem focused — even a little excited — on getting back in the game. “Obviously there’s some motivation in coming up short,” coach Kirk Everist said. “It creates some desire, stokes the fire a little bit. But right now we’re not focused on any one team, more on our own goals as individuals and as a group.” The group work will have to wait a little bit longer, though; with four Bears competing in the World Junior Championships and three at the World University games this past summer, full-team practices were impossible. In fact, the biggest challenge immediately facing the team is simply getting everyone on the same page. “There’s always integration of players coming in,” Everist said. “We’ve been affected by guys coming in and out. But we’re an experienced team. It won’t take long to get back in a groove.” If lack of cohesion throughout the summer is the team’s biggest liability, then experience is its saving grace. Despite losing key seniors Brian Dudley and Zach White, four of the potential starting six are all seniors with three years of varsity experience. “This is a group that will have a number of seniors on the roster,” Everist said. “They’ve competed at that (national) level but they haven’t won. That’s motivation enough.” Add in the fact that, according to Everist, the Bears have two of the best goalies in the country in Jon Sibley and Justin Parsons, and the transition isn’t crippling so much as redefining. Losing White leaves a major gap at center and will effectively force the team to rely more than ever on defense and counterattack, as

Senior attacker Ivan Rackov returns for the Cal men’s water polo team. The National Player of the Year in 2010, Rackov led the MPSF with 79 goals. well as perimeter shooting. But with such cold-blooded attackers as seniors Ivan Rackov, the MPSF’s leading scorer, Luka Saponjic and Cory Nasoff, Everist actually finds it hard to pick a guy who won’t be able to shoot. “I’m pretty sure I know what we’re going to get,” he said. “It’s unknown in live games how the center will play. But as long as the centers show up and do their job, then we’ve got a lot of good shooters.” Still, this year’s team is noticeably different

from the one that fell so short of national glory last year, especially when it comes to center play. With White’s successor undetermined, offensive potential is still up in the air. In fact, Everist likens this year’s squad to that of 2007 in terms of the questions surrounding center performance. But such a comparison might be a welcome prediction: after all, the 2007 team was the last to win the national crown in an 8-6 upending of No. 1 USC. Meeting USC in the final round is clearly a

vicious cycle, and probably the reason why the Bears aren’t daunted by last year’s performance. They toppled the Trojans in back-toback championship titles in 2006 and 2007, and as far as Everist is concerned they can do it once more. “We set a standard for ourselves, and it’s a realistic spot to shoot for,” he said. “I’ve always said at the end of the year that if I’ve coached a good team, then the season was a success. But I also think we can finish one rung higher this year.”

j. fitzpatrick: goal t. salciccia: assist By Camellia Senemar | Staff csenemar@dailycal.org

The Cal men’s soccer team experienced déjà vu in its season opener — but not the monotonous kind. Forward John Fitzpatrick found the back of the net to give the No. 7 Bears a 1-0 victory against the University of San Francisco during Friday’s match. Last year’s encounter posted the same result with Fitzpatrick proving decisive as well. Cal was imposing from the start of the match, and with a little over 20 minutes of play gone, the lone goal of the match came from Fitzpatrick’s head. “It feels great,” Fitzpatrick said. “(Tony) Salciccia played a great ball and I was just fortunate enough to get a head on it.” Last time around, it was Salciccia, the junior midfielder, who was involved in the pivotal moment, too. He provided the corner to Birbaum’s head — which led to Fitzpatrick’s winning finish. “Salciccia plays a great ball,” Fitzpatrick said. “Last year with the corner, and now in this game, he beat his defender and

Junior midfielder Tony Salciccia provided the assist to teammate John Fitzpatrick’s goal in the Bears’ season-opening victory against the Dons in San Francisco.
