Karen Hemphill, incumbent presi-dent of the Berkeley Unified School Dis-trict Board of Education, was re-elected Tuesday despite raising the second-least amount of campaign funds compared to the race’s other five candidates.
According to statements filed with the city of Berkeley, Hemphill raised around $10,000 during her five-month campaign, less than the amounts re-ported by her fellow victors Josh Dan-iels and Leah Wilson, who raised over $21,000 and $12,000, respectively. While Hemphill’s fundraising sur-passed Norma Harrison’s — whose campaign was entirely self-funded — the two other opponents Hemphill de-feated, Priscilla Myrick and Julie Hol-comb, exceeded her fundraising total, each reporting total contributions of over $10,000.
“My goal was between seven to 10,000 for the campaign,” Hemphill said. “I did raise according to my goal. Because it was a very heated campaign, the amount that some candidates raised is, generally speaking, unprecedented.”
Hemphill, who also serves as the city clerk of Emeryville, said the time restraints of her two jobs curtailed her ability to raise more funds.
“I had to be an actively involved board member in addition to running a campaign,” she said. “Sometimes incumbents aren’t raising that much money because they’re busy being in-cumbents.”
She finished third in the voting for the race — around 22 percent of the to-tal vote — after serving one four-year term on the school board. Hemphill said she received most of the money for her campaign from private dona-tions in addition to some funds she loaned herself.
Daniels, the race’s leading fund-raiser, said he started campaigning in April, two months earlier than Hemphill.

Trial Begins for Feb. 26 Protesters
Bill Responds To Sports Cuts With Banners, New Position
A month after five UC Berkeley in-tercollegiate sports teams lost their varsity status, a bill was introduced to the ASUC Senate that would fund displays of support for the 163 athletes affected and advocate for increased transparency and communication with the campus Department of Intercolle-giate Athletics.
In contrast to an earlier version of the bill released last week, the new bill — co-authored by ASUC President Noah Stern, Student Action Senator Vishalli Loomba and ASUC Athletics Director Tiffany Kirkland — not only demands more transparency from the depart-ment regarding its budget and the spe-cific reasons for why the teams were cut, but also creates a new senate-appointed Intercollegiate Athletics Officer to serve as a liaison between the ASUC and the department. Additionally, the bill would approve $600 for banners sup-porting the athletes to be displayed by each of the campus’s 12 sororities.
The appointment process would go into effect immediately after the bill’s passage and would begin with the for-mation of a five-senator selection com-mittee, with members nominated and approved by the other senators. The committee would then nominate one person for the position to be approved by the senate with a two-thirds vote and would also be responsible for rec-ommending a stipend amount for the position, which must also be approved by a two-thirds vote by the senate.
“The reason it is really important to create this position is it is hard to get into contact with athletes,” Stern said. “They are really busy, and it is a group that is not traditionally involved in stu-dent government.”
Loomba said in the e-mail that stipend appropriation is a standard procedure, but “by no means makes it mandatory, and it will be up to each year’s senate class to decide on wheth-er they feel a stipend for the position is appropriate.”

The hearing for two protesters ar-rested during a Feb. 26 riot on South-side began Wednesday, continuing Thursday with witnesses for both the defense and prosecution being called to testify.
The defendants — alumna Marika Goodrich, a UC Berkeley senior at the time of the riot, and alumnus Zachary Miller — were charged with misde-meanors and pleaded not guilty to all counts in the Alameda County Supe-rior Court.
Goodrich was charged with misde-meanor assault against a peace officer, while Miller was charged with misde-meanor resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer and attempted removal

of a non-firearm weapon from a peace officer.
The prosecution called Berkeley Po-lice Department officer Byron White to the stand, who testified that officers present during the riot were justified in using force against the protesters and that the protesters were given plenty of opportunities to move away from police.
White said he yelled as loudly as he could at the rioters to move and that policy states if someone comes within an officer’s safety zone after they are told to move, the officer is allowed to give them a forceful shove backwards. He added that Miller grabbed his ba-ton at one point during the riot.
The defense called Anna Jaffrey — a UC Berkeley junior and friend to Goodrich and Miller — to explain the events that occurred at the riot.
She said the police gave no warning to move back from their line and be-gan advancing toward the group of protesters.
When asked by Goodrich’s attor-ney, John M. Hamasaki, whether she was harmed, Jaffrey replied that the police pushed her with a baton in a kind of violent shove that caused her to fall.
She added that Goodrich was also shoved, resulting in a bloody nose.
Miller was then brought to the stand and questioned by his lawyer, Graham E. Archer, and testified that the week-long “Rolling University” demonstration on campus and pro-tests in February were structured to make people feel safe and comfort-able to participate — the protesters

“I wasn’t the one doing poll checking (at the student union), but I did go down a couple times and people were sitting all over the floor, on all the couches — overflowing everywhere,” said ASUC Vote Coalition Director Jeremy Pi-laar. “There were not enough spots for booths during the peak hours.”

News iN BriefJob cuts imminent at KPFA
About 100 volunteers, listeners, mem-bers of the Communications Workers of America union — which represents paid staff of the KPFA radio station — and other Bay Area union representatives picketed outside the Berkeley station on Martin Luther King Jr. Way Thursday in response to expected station job cuts.
According to Arlene Engelhardt, ex-ecutive director of the Pacifica Founda-tion, the station’s parent organization, management has yet to determine the number of jobs to be cut in response to the station’s half-million-dollar deficit this year. She said she expects to an-nounce the cuts “very soon.”
Union Steward Antonio Ortiz said union members are “disturbed” that the nature of the cuts has not been communicated to them.
“Our union believes that there are oth-er places to cut than staffing,” radio host
Sasha Lilley said in an e-mail. “When lis-teners donate, they donate for program-ming, not bureaucracy, but that is where many of their donated dollars go.”
KPFA currently has the equivalent of 38 full-time jobs, with many staff mem-bers working part-time. Some positions will be eliminated while others will be reduced to part-time, Engelhardt said.
KPFA earned about $3.5 million in to-tal revenue this fiscal year with expenses around $4 million. While last year’s defi-cit was $941,000, KPFA was able to cov-er most of the balance with reserves, al-though Engelhardt said they did borrow money to make payroll in September.
Lilley said in the e-mail the union proposed alternative cuts, but Pacifica “dismissed the recommendations.”
“Our commitment is to keep the best programming possible while pay-ing the bill so we don’t go off the air,” Engelhardt said.

turnout: Many Voters Used Absentee BallotsfroM front
ers registered by the coalition in 2008.The coalition was met with a rush of
students trying to register to vote in the weeks preceding the election, according to CALPIRG New Voters Project Co-Coordinator Megan Landeros, who said efforts were also made to reach out to as many potential voters as possible.
“I think we’re pretty pleased with our efforts that we put in,” she said. “We called almost 2,000 people to come out and vote, and I don’t think we could say anything else.”
Lucas Zucker, CALPIRG state board executive chair, expects Berkeley — and the state in general — to have a relatively higher level of youth voter turnout than other places in the country.
“The last few days, people were flock-ing to the (registration tables),” Zucker said. “I think the expectation of youth turnout being low is pretty overblown.”
District 7’s low turnout may be ex-plained by a potentially substantial number of absentee ballots dropped off directly at polling centers on Elec-tion Day, according to District 7 City Council candidate George Beier.
Beier, who lost the first round of ranked-choice voting Tuesday to incum-bent Councilmember Kriss Worthing-
ton, said he had expected the district to see about 1,000 more ballots than the number recorded on Election Day.
“I talked to an election monitor, and he said about 100 votes were cast as drop-ins — and that’s a lot — so if it’s that many in every precinct, that’s 1,000 votes right there,” he said.
According to Beier, while the polling centers in District 7 seemed to have rela-tively normal levels of turnout on election night, many individuals were standing in line with absentee ballots. He added that the polling location at the student union was much slower during his visit at around 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday.
As of Thursday, the registrar’s web-site states 198,094 of 365,624 mailed absentee ballots were received and that Alameda County overall had a 44.96 percent voter turnout.
Even though Mayor Tom Bates said he believes Berkeley will show a higher turnout than state levels, he admitted this election may have seen a lower turnout in the city than in past years.
“There was no passion in the cam-paigns,” he said. “In most elections, you wanna get somebody in or out ... there was nobody (voters) would go to the wall for.”

3OPINION & NEWS Friday, November 5, 2010 The Daily Californian
Karma — (n.) necessary fate or destiny, following as effect from cause.
As I ambled along the sun gleamed down on Sproul Plaza, the morning air was like a new pack of Pringles: crisp, fresh and laden with invisible carcino-gens.
I respired deeply, cognizant that this air was an integral part of this nation of liberty, this matrix of freedom and equanimity. As such I knew it was rightly mine, rightly yours, brothers and sisters, fellow denizens of America.
Ahem. For those of you who are regular
flippers to the opinion section in your readings of The Daily Californian, you may have noticed a slight ... mimicry in the above paragraphs to the styles and contents of my fellow opinionators’ opining of opinions in columned form. This was wholly deliberate.
“You bastard!” you may scream, ten-dons strained to breaking point, sweat streaking down your forehead, impas-sioned by my blatant thievery of your favorite columnists’ most endearing characteristics.
But, I beseech you to be calm, try to contain your reaction to one of dispas-sion. Indeed, one that might affect your own personal bank of karma a lit-tle more positively.
You see, karma can be generated by pretty much anything we do: our thoughts, words, actions, you name it. Once it’s out there, there’s no knowing when it’ll come to affect us, whether in minutes or days, in our next lifetime, or even the one after that, just when you thought things couldn’t get any shittier! Unlucky you, stupid douchebag!
The best way to master the forces of karma is to be intelligent in your words and actions, and dispassionate in your reactions.
Now you can see why I was beseech-ing so urgently earlier. You guys were about to invoke a serious ass-karming with your impassioned reactions.
And yet some of you may still be struggling to karm down: “What about you?!” you may bawl at me, pus exploding from spots on your face due to all your excessive passion, “You’ve been unintelligent all the way through your article so far!”
To this I would reply — after hand-ing you a tissue — that I am fully aware of the nature and implications of my actions upon my karma levels.
As such, I realize that I may in fact be in for a severe ass-karming myself if I’m not careful.
But there is a plan behind my forg-ery of my colleagues, my false claim to American citizenry, my appalling kar-ma-based puns, not to mention my portrayal of you, the reader, as an ana-tomically questionable, pus-smeared maniacal moron.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am declar-ing war on karma. I seek evidence
that it really exists. “Wow,” you might say, pretending to
understand my declaration on the grounds that I’m a thrill-seeker and that this is the ultimate challenge: not only am I declaring war on an intangible concept (this is difficult, see war on ter-
rorism) but one whose very existence is questionable from the outset. Too many times of late I have waited for karma to work its magic or to take its toll; too many times, I have waited in vain.
One typical example occurred while I was going through the rigorous secu-rity at Newark Airport, my first time in the United States. After hurriedly emp-tying my pockets and taking off my belt and shoes I nervously joked with the man next to me, who was in a similar kerfuffle, that “this makes me wonder why I don’t just travel naked.”
I was met with the blankest look of indifference I have ever witnessed in response to a (admittedly dire) joke. Although I realize that to ask for a laugh would have been too much, I at least expected a small smile of pity or a scoff of scorn. This is just one example of the kind of thing karma owes me for.
Admittedly, the lack of success of my waiting around for karma to
have its effect may well be bad karma coming back around to punish me. Likewise, by arrogantly expecting good karma, I may be producing bad karma. But these would render my war efforts, not to mention this article, null and void, so I’m ruling them out as possi-bilities.
So I’m challenging karma to prove to me that it is really real. I’ve done this with all of my other belief systems: I challenged God to a game of tic-tac-toe and crossed on a steamy window pane (I won by default); I saw my mom playing Tooth-Fairy, putting money under my pillowcase; carrots don’t make you see in the dark (otherwise bats would just eat them instead of using that complex sonar mechanism, duh); there is no pot of gold at the end of rainbows (that was a very long walk); after years of eating my crusts, my hair is only slightly wavy and I still don’t like the taste.
The one exception is spinach — after years of eating it I am an amazingly strong, fine physical specimen.
Now it’s karma’s turn to face the music.
The test goes as follows: if, when I walk in to The Daily Californian’s weekly opinion meeting later today, I am greeted by several fists to the face for my crimes to personal identity, standards of wordplay and reader integrity, karma wins — it officially exists. These are the rules of the con-test. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Oh and Lynn: Yu are an asshole.

hemphill: Incumbent Stressed Budget Experiencefrom front
athletics: Committees to review Bill mondayfrom frontstart raising money earlier,” Hemphill
said. “Now I realize that, as an incum-bent, you should take advantage of being halfway in already by starting early.”
According to Hemphill, most of the other campaigns for seats on the Board of Education involved plans that built off the board’s achievements since the last election. As the only incumbent candi-date, she was able to emphasize her own record as president of the board.
During the campaign, both Daniels and Hemphill cited management of the district’s budget as a crucial responsi-bility of the board, and Hemphill con-sistently emphasized her experience.
“There’s a whole lot of issues like re-stricting funding and matching fund-ing,” Daniels said. “It’s not as simple as doing whatever you want with the money the government gives you.”
Other prominent issues the board and
its new members must address include continuing the reduction of the achieve-ment gap and working against drug and alcohol usage by students in the district’s secondary schools, Hemphill said.
“We don’t really have a strong career technical program — hands-on classes that would inspire someone to become an engineer or scientist,” she said. “These programs would make high school seem more relevant to help kids link school to what comes afterwards.”
The newly elected board members will be sworn in on Dec. 8. Daniels and Wilson will replace current members Nancy Riddle and Shirley Issel, both of whom chose not to run for re-election.
“We certainly have capable peo-ple who got elected,” Hemphill said. “They’re coming in with a lot of knowl-edge and skills that will benefit the district.”

of the Standing Committee for Consti-tutional and Procedural Review, said though he believes the bill is constitu-tional, he is not sure if he wants to use ASUC funds to allocate a stipend. He added that though this would provide an incentive for students to apply for the position, the point of the selection committee to is to find someone moti-vated to do the job.
Though both Stern and Loomba said they expect that the bill will not be controversial, Tan said his committee will likely amend the bill before pass-ing it.
“It is important to really historicize all the bills that we write, so in that sense I would like to see more context,” Tan said. “With re-evaluation of (the teams’ statuses), we have to consider all other sports programs as well, and also cam-puswide with Operational Excellence, and statewide with budget cuts.”
Tan added that he would like to see language in the bill that would ensure that the department is not only held accountable for their decisions, but also continues to provide benefits to the athletes they recruited.
“Athletes are really into sports, but they also are students,” Tan said. “Of-ten what falls through the cracks is the support systems.”
The bill will be reviewed by the Standing Committee on Finance, the Standing Committee on University and External Affairs and the Standing Committee on Constitutional and Pro-cedural Review Monday night.

did not plan to block the intersection or perform any acts of vandalism, he said.
“We were just dancing and enjoy-ing ourselves,” Miller said, adding that he began getting nervous because he could tell that it was a possibly dan-gerous situation. However, he said he never heard a dispersal order from the police.
The Berkeley police lieutenant com-manding the scene, Lt. Rico Rolleri, said the crowd was “unlawful, unruly
and at some points chaotic and dan-gerous.”
“I had glass in my uniform from bottles that were being thrown around me,” Rolleri said.
He added that it is up to the individ-ual officer’s discretion based on policy and law when to use force against an-other person.
Miller and Goodrich’s trial will con-tinue next Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse.

Fee increases have moved past deja vu and have instead become multi-annual night-
mares for students in California’s public university systems.
After raising tuition by 5 percent this past June, next week California State University trustees will be discussing a mid-year raise of 5 percent and an additional 10 per-cent increase to take effect next fall.
A little closer to campus, the UC Board of Regents will also be dis-cussing the possibility of fee increases later this month. UC Berkeley became the first public university to charge over $50,000 this year, the current price tag that out-of-state students face for tuition, fees, room and board.
We dared to hope when the state restored $305 million to the uni-versity last month — although this was not nearly enough to make up for past cuts, at least it was some-thing. Still, fees seem to continu-ally increase.
Voters and their representatives in this state may not see the detri-mental effects of cutting high edu-cation’s affordability today. Yet California needs an educated and well-trained workforce to ensure its future successes. The path of balancing precarious budgets on the backs of students does not extend indefinitely.
There is a limit. Students cannot bear constantly escalating costs forever, and the state and its voters are bound to suffer as a result.
Although the city chose the same members, we hope to see some different results.
In Tuesday’s election at the local level, all incumbents appear to have retained their seats on Berkeley City Council: Linda Maio, Jesse Arreguin, Kriss Worthington and Gordon Wozniak.
The Senior Editorial Board evalu-ated this election with the philosophy that we wanted to see change. This time around, council members should take note.
The passage of Measure R is the most prominent and clearest indica-tor of voters’ opinions. The 64.22 percent in favor is a clear sign that the building height debate should be over so the city can move on. Now, we need an actual downtown area plan that relies on the 12 approved goals as a guide, and we would like to see collaboration on that project.
There is nothing wrong with a diversity of voices and opinions. Yet the two incumbents whom we did not endorse this election cycle — Arreguin and Worthington — should use their capabilities to work towards a solution and move past the “dis-senting voice” rhetoric that they have often referenced. Dissent for the sake of disagreement is nowhere near progress.
We have further, less philosophical expectations not only for Arreguin and Worthington but also for the other two incumbents. Each official’s subsequent term should be better
than his or her previous one.In District 1, Maio should be more
open about her work with Pacific Steel Casting Company. As we have mentioned before, the community should feel it has a greater part in the process.
Wozniak has done a good job in facilitating community and fraternity relationships and should continue this communication. Also, we want to add another plug for him to look into tangled traffic issues.
Arreguin should immediately seek to address the businesses and con-stituents in his district who have said that their voices are not heard. He is still the council’s newest member and we look forward to seeing him work towards his potential with other council members.
Finally, Worthington must address the fact that Telegraph Avenue and People’s Park continues to blight the area. He needs to take care of busi-ness — even if that takes the first elementary step of walking down Telegraph to count the depressing number of empty storefronts. In his meeting with us, Worthington said he was going to work to change the area. We hope that will happen this term.
If nothing else, this election pro-vided a forum for the community to bring up their concerns with the sta-tus quo. And council members would be wise to incorporate these articu-lated ideas into their ongoing service, instead of brushing them aside since most ballots have been counted.
I want to present you with a unique opportunity: free admission to the most excit-ing indoor sport and the chance to show your support for the Cal volleyball team. You can make Haas Pavilion an incredibly tough place for opponents to play and will become part of a very special team and experience.
Your volleyball team is a small group of ladies. They work hard to bring our school notoriety, glory and attention to the accomplish-ments of all of those on campus. We are ranked No. 2 in the nation, first place in the Pac-10 and are 20-1 this year.
This team needs the sup-port of Cal students. This season, we have made tre-mendous strides in both the classroom and the gym. Of Cal’s 29 sports teams, our team members had the high-
by Rich Feller est and most improved GPA over a two-year span.
This weekend, we face a pair of perennial Pac-10 powers from Southern California. USC and UCLA are institu-tions famous for their athletic prom-inence and vibrant school spirit.
I believe Cal is second to none, and that we can come together as both a unit and as a family in supporting one another in all of our endeavors.
There is no other time in your life when you will be so deeply interwoven into the fabric of a community like the one we have here.
The student-athletes on our team chose Cal for many of the same reasons you did. Our success is linked with yours.
That is why I am asking you to make time to share in
our successes by attending our five remaining home matches.
Come out this Friday at 7 p.m. to help us avenge our only loss of the season against the Trojans. On Saturday, we play UCLA. That match is the Fox Sports Match of the Week, so make signs, break out the body paint and dress up.

Israel Is the United States’ Strongest Ally
Since the Jewish state’s founding 62 years ago, the U.S. has maintained a “special” relationship with Israel. Yet, it has become common to question the long-standing relationship today. Many assert that if the U.S. would only end its relationship, all of the world’s problems would end.
Underlying all of these criticisms is one question — is Israel a liability? The answer to that question is a resounding no. Just as we do not ask if the Czechs were our allies in World War II, you should not, could not and cannot ask if Israel is of strategic bene-fit to us.
The U.S. and Israel share common threats with one another such as nuclear and missile proliferation, ter-rorism and anti-Western sentiment. Israel is the frequent target of terror-ism and has developed counter-terror-ism technology that it gladly shares with the U.S. Examples include shar-ing intelligence on insurgents and rad-ical Islamists, anti-improvised explo-sive device technology, medical treat-ment, defense technology such as the
by Rick Chen unmanned drones and anti-missile defense as well as homeland security techniques in seaports and airports.
These techniques are currently taught to American soldiers as well as Homeland Security officials. More notable, with two ongoing wars, is the strong and tested Israeli soldier reinte-gration process to combat post-trau-matic stress disorder that affects many U.S. veterans and the forward-place-ment of weaponry and equipment allowing for U.S. military advantage.
The U.S. and Israel work in concert with one another to stem the tide of totalitarianism and anti-democratic regimes. Both nations share common concern with nations that are repres-sive of its people and serves as a role model in the Middle East where dem-ocratic ideals are often unknown, unused or viewed with great disdain.
Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with a vibrant democracy in which current sitting parliament members are free to criticize the nation and its government. In fact, this occurs frequently and is a part of Israeli political culture.
Also, a part of Israeli political cul-
ture is the freedom of religion, speech, economys and press. Lastly, Israelis are strong adherents of human rights, including rights for women and sexual minorities, a new first for the Middle East as well. Only in Israel are U.S. and Western values held sacrosanct.
The fact of the matter is that Israel is a beacon of stability in the Middle East. The Middle East is one of the most volatile regions in the world — that is, except for one nation: Israel.
It is only Israel that can be relied on to have a peaceful transition and succession of power. In an area that is so unpredictable, can we risk leaving our strongest ally in the dust?
Because of the advantages and ben-efits that Israel provides to us, the abandonment of the U.S.-Israel spe-cial relationship will not only be costly and strategically catastrophic, but also morally inexcusable.
We cannot let the world’s only Jewish state or the Middle East’s only democratic state suffer alone; or, even worse, perish.

NICOLE LIM/CONTRIBUTOR
UC Berkeley assistant clinical law pro-fessor Ty Alper has been honored by the Journal of Medical Regulation for com-posing the best article written in the past year for his study on the legality of doc-tors’ participation in lethal injections.
Alper was notified on Oct. 8 that he won the Ray L. Casterline Award for Excellence in Writing for his November 2009 article “The Role of State Medical Boards in Regulating Physician Partici-pation in Executions.” Alper’s article was chosen because it was “extremely well-written, researched, timely and covered a topic of relevance to the state medi-cal regulatory community,” according to Drew Carlson, spokesperson for the Federation of State Medical Boards.
Alper investigated the legality of doc-tor participation in lethal injections for prisoners on death row. His study focused on the American Medical Association guideline that states such participation is in direct conflict with a medical code of ethics. It concluded that generally, there are no legal consequences for participa-tion if physicians willingly take part.
“What interested me in this issue is that courts were saying without any basis that doctors cannot participate,” said Alper, who is also the associate di-rector of UC Berkeley School of Law’s Death Penalty Clinic.
Alper said he knew that many doc-tors were participating in lethal injec-tions across the country, so he was cu-rious to learn more about their actual participation in capital punishment and the legality of such participation.
Berkeley Law professor Elisabeth
by Katie BenderContributing Writer
Semel, who is director of the clinic, said in an e-mail that the strengths of Alper’s study lie in the evidence he used of improper executions as well as in the combination of facts about state regulations and medical ethics laws.
Semel said in the e-mail that the study shows “how often the three-drug execution procedure can go wrong and result in an execution that violates the Eighth Amendment” as well as “how and why the frequency of botched ex-ecutions is far greater than the public and the courts understood.”
Alper found that only seven states practicing capital punishment, includ-ing Maryland and Tennessee, “explicit-ly incorporate the AMA’s ethical guide-lines into their own state ethical code.”
The article quotes a 1994 study by the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and Human Rights Watch, among other authors, which concluded that state medical boards should determine physician participa-tion as “unethical conduct” and should “take appropriate action against physi-cians who violate ethical standards.”
Alper, on the other hand, said he feels differently.
“If the presence of doctors is nec-essary to ensure that the execution is not excruciatingly painful, then I would support the presence of doctors to make sure that the execution is hu-mane and constitutional,” he said.
He said the award was “a nice hon-or” and that he hopes his study will help change the way courts view doc-tor participation in lethal injections.

RESEARCH & IDEAS
After conducting an economic anal-ysis of algae biofuel production in the U.S., four re-searchers at the Energy Biosci-ences Institute have concluded that despite heavy invest-ment from mul-tiple industries, numerous scientific and technological advances are needed to transform this type of energy production into a viable and cost-competitive option.
The report, released by the institute on Oct. 25, analyzes different algae bio-fuel production scenarios that vary in farm size and type of biofuel output, taking into account costs associated with each particular method. Although microalgae are cultivated on small-scale farms throughout the world for use in the nutraceutical industry, the assess-ment reveals significant barriers to the widespread use of algae as a renewable energy source, said Nigel Quinn, the principal investigator of the report and a group research leader at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
According to Quinn, large amounts of carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, cheap land and sunlight are needed to harvest oil from algae, and although all of these elements can be found to-gether, they rarely exist in adequate quantities. The report states that even at the cheapest estimated mode of pro-duction, the cost of oil harvested from algae cannot compete with other forms of renewable energy.
“There’s no point in expending a lot of fossil fuel to produce a small

Report Analyzes Economic Viability of Algae Biofuels
amount of renewable fuel,” said Tryg Lundquist, the lead author of the re-port and an affiliate of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in an e-mail.
Although some of the problems as-sociated with algae biofuel production are common to all forms of renewable energy — such as scaling operations so they satisfy a significant percentage of energy needs — the report advocates for extensive research and develop-ment in nearly all aspects of algae bio-fuel production.
Lundquist said in the e-mail that in-creasing the productivity and reliabil-ity of microalgae cultures — which are susceptible to boom and bust cycles as well as disease — through strain selec-tion and genetic modification would help make the process more viable.
Even if renewable biofuel energy production is improved, satisfying Americans’ “tremendous” consump-tion of fuel will remain a challenge, Lundquist said.
“Energy conservation is still going to be essential to make any progress towards balancing our supply and de-mand,” he said in the e-mail.
Both researchers said the findings are consistent with previous studies, although the report differs in its ex-plicit and detailed economic analysis.
According to Quinn, the large amount of investor interest in algae biofuel production and the growing at-tendance at the annual algae biomass summit are indicators that research breakthroughs are near.
“With that much brain power pushed toward a problem, eventually there’s going to be a solution,” he said.

Bears Overcome Slow Start to Eviscerate Loyola Marymount
The No. 1 Cal men’s water polo team (16-2, 4-0 in the MPSF) extended its winning streak to eight last night with an 11-2 win against No. 9 Loyola Mary-mount (13-8) at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
The Bears, while technically in the pool the whole game, didn’t show up to play until a few minutes before halftime.
The pace started out painstakingly slow, the first goal not being scored un-til 2:29 left in the first quarter by junior Ivan Rackov.
The Lions countered with the next two goals, claiming the lead 2-1 on a goal by freshman Mark Menis with 7:25 left in the second quarter. They probably wouldn’t have guessed that would be their last goal.
by Byron AtashianContributing Writer
m. poloLMU 2Cal 11
The lead lasted for about five minutes before Rackov and Luka Saponjic each scored a goal within a minute to reclaim the advantage at 3-2 going into the half.
The low score and collective inability by both teams to convert on any of the five first half power plays can be explained by nothing other than sloppy play.
But oh, how the tides changed in the second half.
The inside passes began to find their target in senior Zach White, who scored four of his team’s eight second half goals.
“(White) stepped up for us in the be-ginning of the third quarter when we needed a little bit of help, and we got a little space there,” Cal coach Kirk Everist said. “They were running a really hard zone and we just weren’t doing a good job of recognizing that. We did a better job of that in the second half.”
Rackov also finished the game with four goals.
Cal Holds Lead Over Radford to Advance to Semis
Overtime is the last thing that any team in the NorPac tournament wants in the quarterfinal round. The combina-tion of fatigue and added time is hardly optimal, given the three games in three days structure of the tournament.
So what is the one surefire way to prevent extra min-utes? Score early and score often.
The Cal field hockey team did just that in its 3-2 triumph over Radford. High-scoring matches was the theme of the opening round, in which the vic-tors of the four quarterfinal matches netted a total of 21 goals.
When the Bears last saw the High-landers in their 2009 semifinal match-up, Cal needed both halves of the game to score its three goals, with two of them coming in the second. On Thurs-day, the Bears garnered three goals within the first 20 minutes.
“We went out and controlled the game very well,” coach Shellie Onstead
by Catherine NguyenContributing Writer
said. “We scored an early goal, and that got us going pretty well.”
Cal’s first goal was reminiscent of its opening score against UC Davis in Sep-tember, when sophomores Megan Shi-mojima and Rachelle Comeau notched a goal on a two-on-one breakaway early in the game. Once again, the two forwards teamed up to give the Bears a quick 1-0 lead in the third minute.
Though the Highlanders equalized on Megan Lenhardt’s goal seven min-utes later, all-conference selection Me-gan Psyllos ensured that the tie didn’t last long. And Cal’s early three-goal outburst wasn’t limited to just its play-ers with postseason experience.
In her first NorPac tournament match, freshman Andrea Earle tallied a goal on four shots. The midfielder scored on a breakaway in the 20th min-ute which proved to be the difference.
“It was a really great pass from one of my teammates and I just took it down the field on the right and tried to drive the goal,” Earle said. “We had been prac-ticing a lot of elimination skills, so I was happy that I could capitalize on the
things we had been practicing so much.”After allowing three goals in the first
half, Radford keeper Jennifer Wisniews-ki blanked Cal’s offense in the second, allowing the Highlanders to threaten in the final 10 minutes. The Bears’ two-goal advantage became a tenuous one-goal lead when Melissa Register capital-ized on a penalty corner.
“Letting them getting in 3-2 was a lit-tle bit disappointing, but at this level, you kind of expect the games to be close. We handled it pretty well,” Onstead said.
Even with Radford’s scare at the end of the game, Onstead believes that the team’s early postseason nerves are out of the way. She rotated through her en-tire squad in order to rest parts of the starting lineup for today’s 1 p.m. semi-final against No. 1-seeded Davidson.
“For some reason, Radford always matches up well with us and they always play us close.” Onstead said. “I expect the same kind of effort from Davidson, but I think we’ll be in a little bit better space and not quite as jittery.”

Cal Wraps Up Pac-10 Play With Homestand Against Oregons
When the Cal women’s soccer team lost, 3-0, to Stanford last Saturday, it was arguably its hardest match of the season. But the Bears aren’t done with their Pac-10 challenges.
“When you play at the Pac-10 level, every game is dif-ficult,” coach Neil McGuire said.
Cal’s 2-4-1 con-ference record reflects those chal-lenges. So does the weekend that lies ahead.
“We don’t have the wins that we would hope for,” McGuire said. “Our consistency has been good, so we’re just going to play our very best and hopefully that’s good enough.”
The Bears will start their final week-end of conference play on Friday at Ed-wards Stadium with the less daunting of their two matches. Oregon (7-8-3, 3-3-1 in the Pac-10) hasn’t had a history of suc-cess in the Pac-10, but they’ve done well enough this year to pose a threat to Cal.
The Ducks have fared decently against opponents the Bears struggled with, de-feating Arizona and Arizona State, who Cal lost to and tied, respectively.
“Oregon, more than most teams, plays for 90 minutes,” McGuire said. “They’re extremely competitive.”
While the Ducks do not boast the same scoring power as most of the Pac-10 competition, only outscoring op-ponents this season by a total of 29-23,
by Alex MatthewsContributing Writer
their stats do show tactical strength on the offense. Oregon has matched those 29 goals with 28 assists.
While Cal’s record has been injured by the caliber of opponents they play in the Pac-10, No. 13 Oregon State’s perfect 7-0-0 conference record hasn’t. The Bea-vers’ overall 15-1-1 record is just one loss short of Stanford’s unblemished 16-0-2 record.
Oregon State’s Pac-10 perfection could change before they meet Cal on Sunday. The Cardinal, who also boast a perfect conference mark, and the Beavers will face off Friday at Stanford in a game that could decide the Pac-10 title.
The Bears will be hard pressed to score on the Beavers — perfect record or not — at Edwards on Sunday. Oregon State has only been scored on by their ri-val, Oregon, so far during the conference season. The team’s back line is bolstered by goalkeeper Colleen Boyd, who carries a 0.41 GAA.
Overall, the Beavers have only al-lowed seven goals in 2010, three fewer goals than No. 1 Stanford has. One was in their only loss of the season, against UC Irvine, who Cal tied, 2-2.
“We’ve worked on a few things just different ways to find goal-scoring op-portunities,” McGuire said.
Cal has struggled to put away goals in the absence of senior Alex Morgan. The Bears have only scored once in the three games since the forward left to play with the national team in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament.
While Morgan has already played her final game at Edwards, Cal’s other three seniors — Emily Shibata, Megan Jesolva and McKenna McKetty — will be hon-ored at the Oregon State game.

“You’re going to have bad offensive days, but our defense kept up and played well,” Everist said, addressing the slug-gish first half and the Bears’ conversion of only one of four power plays.
Yesterday’s game was the first of three games this weekend. The Saturday and Sunday games against No. 6 UCSB (10-6, 1-2) and No. 8 Long Beach State (7-10, 0-4), respectively, are also at home. Unlike the LMU match, the upcoming contests are both conference games.
The Gauchos are responsible for a 12-10 upset over Stanford in the SoCal Tour-nament earlier this season.
m. POLO: Cal to Play Twice More This WeekendfroM Page 6 UCSB Milos Golic earned the MPSF
Player of the Week title two weeks ago, after notching a career-high tying seven goals in an 11-10 win over Long Beach. Golic follows close behind MPSF scor-ing-leader Rackov (over three goals a game) with 2.81 goals per game.
“We’re going to have to concentrate on them, but not to the point where we’re leaving other players,” Everist said. “Fo-cus on them when it’s the right time and play good team defense, we know they like to run a lot through those players as we do through Ivan.”
“better” is all relative and “great” is certainly hyperbole.
The Cougars are giving up 224.3 yards rushing and 263.3 passing per game. When their opponents reach the red zone, they’re scoring 91-percent of the time. 77-percent of the time, it’s a touchdown. Through the first half of games, Washington State is being outscored, 208-82.
The Bears were burned big on the ground by teams with good offensive lines; they were beat by physicality up front. The Cougar offensive line gives up an average of four sacks per game. Their leading rusher, former Cal tail-back James Montgomery, averages 37 yards per game.
The quarterbacks that tore Cal apart the worst this season were Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick and USC’s Matt Barkley. WSU’s Jeff Tuel is nei-ther of those players.
Tuel has good numbers (14 touch-downs, 60.1 completion percentage) but, as solid as those numbers are, he still has 11 picks. Cal has lost to teams with three dimensional offenses. The Cougars don’t have that.
If Brock Mansion can be what Riley was on a good day — a game manager — there’s no reason for the Bears to struggle offensively, either. Vereen alone has talent to spare against the Cougars.
People may point to Washington State’s close margin of defeat against Stanford and say that the Cougars hung tight with Oregon for a while. That is immaterial. When it comes down to wins and losses, the Cougs have eight L’s and one W. And that one win was against an FCS team.
After Cal’s blowout loss to the Tro-jans, freshman wide receiver Keenan Allen said, “We just came out flat.”
“We just came out flat,” Allen re-peated two weeks later in Corvallis.
This time, that’s not a good enough reason for losing. Against Washington State, nothing is.

No. 2-ranked Bears Seek revenge Against trojans
Sophomore libero Robin Rostratter dons a blue volleyball helmet whenever she plays. The protective piece is often taunted at opponents' gyms, but she hopes to see more blue helmets to-night as the No. 2 Cal volleyball team battles No. 7 USC (19-3, 8-3) in a revenge match at 7 p.m. at Haas Pavilion.
Rostratter, who suffered a concussion last sea-son after colliding with a teammate, distributed helmets on Wednesday night at a Rally Commit-tee meeting. The team hopes its surprise appear-ance will bolster enthusiasm for tonight’s show-down with the Trojans.
In front of a Southern California crowd, the Bears (20-1, 10-1 in the Pac-10) dropped their lone match of the season by two points in the fifth set. Cal battled back from a 2-0 deficit to prolong the game, but came up short.
“It was our match to lose,” sophomore Correy Johnson said. “We’re all really gunning for them.”
Coach Rich Feller’s squad hopes to come out of the gates quickly, which it has struggled to do lately. This past weekend, the Bears started slow-ly at Oregon State and No. 20 Oregon, though Cal swept both teams.
“I think the team that starts out fresh, starts out pretty good, has got a great advantage be-cause coming from behind against our team or against their team is going to be the more dif-ficult road,” Feller said.
Cal’s blockers and back row defenders will have to be in peak form to handle defending National

Player of the Week Alex Jupiter. Last week, the outside hitter posted 30 kills to lead the Trojans to a tight 3-2 win over No. 11 Washington.
“We will try to manage our block so we can put two big blockers in front of her whenever pos-sible to slow her down or make her change her shot,” Feller said.
USC runs a slower attack than the Bears, which Lloyd says gives the team more time to get a solid block up on a kill attempt.
The second-best blocking corps in the country will need extra energy to get them through one of their toughest weekends of the season with an-other strong attack arriving on Saturday.
The Bears will not have any breathing room as they battle against No. 12 UCLA (17-5, 7-4), a squad that took out then-No. 1 Stanford.
“Having long matches that can go five sets — it’s hard for our bodies to handle,” senior setter Carli Lloyd said. “But (athletic trainer Linda Smith) is really good at keeping us healthy. We just have to ice-bath and make sure we’re getting rehab.”
According to the coach, the team has reached the point in the season where fatigue becomes a bigger factor. To try to keep the players healthy, Feller has been limiting the number of swings and jumps they take in practice.
It’s not just physical exhaustion the coaches have to guard against.
“This is kind of the part of the season where everyone’s starting to feel the stress of school and just playing and pounding a lot,” Lloyd said.

Senior setter Carli Lloyd is only the ninth player in Pac-10 history and the second in program history to pass the 5,000 assist plateau. This season, Lloyd has 812 assists and is also averaging an attacking percentage of .307.

cal Heads to cougar town in Hopes of Scoring First road WinKevin Riley knew it was over. He knew
when his knee buckled in the end zone at Oregon State last week. He knew as his last pass, a 32-yard beauty, thumped softly into Marvin Jones’ hands.
There won’t be another snap for Ri-ley, not with the way he hit the ground after Beavers linebacker Brennan Olander hit him down low.
“Right when it happened I was just lying there and like, ‘Crap, this is my last play of football,’” the fifth-year se-nior said. “That’s the first thing that popped in my head, and pretty much this wave of emotion came over me, just thinking, I’m done.”
When the Cal football team flies north to Washington State, it will do so without Riley. The Bears will step onto the Martin Stadium turf at 1 p.m. tomorrow, ready for another coin toss but short a captain. Brock Mansion will make his first career start.
Riley was lucky, doctors told him. He didn’t suffer any major knee liga-ment tears. He won’t need surgery.
But he certainly didn’t feel lucky as he watched his teammates suffer a 35-7 blowout, his torn gastrocnemius muscle, sabotaging any attempt to stand, let alone re-enter the game.
So while Riley takes the next three months to heal, Mansion will try and make sure the Bears’ (4-4, 2-3 in the Pac-10) seven-year streak of bowl games doesn’t end.
At 6-foot-5, 237 pounds, the former Elite 11 quarterback at least has the look of a Division I starter. It’s every-thing else that’s unknown.
The junior acquitted himself rea-sonably well after Riley was injured on Cal’s second drive, completing 14 of his 24 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. Those numbers, how-ever, came with a smaller playbook filled with damage-controlling screen passes.
He won’t necessarily have to deviate

from that yet, although coach Jeff Tedford said he will. On paper, the Cougars (1-8, 0-6) shouldn’t pose much of a challenge for the Bears; they haven’t defeated a Pac-10 team since 2008.
This year, the team has managed just one win, a 23-22 comeback effort over Montana State, an FCS squad, on Sept. 11. Since then, Washington State has shown some improvement — something that might not be difficult considering it won once in the past two seasons.
It has a more-than-competent aerial attack, which starts with sophomore quarterback Jeff Tuel and often ends with wideout Marquess Wilson, a true freshman who is leading the conference in receiving yards per game.
On defense, it has freshman safety Deone Bucannon, second in the Pac-10 in tackles per game at his position.
“The improvement more on their team from last year to this year is the safeties,” Tedford said. “Both of them are excellent tacklers. They’ll come up and they’ll hit you.”
But the Cougars’ total defense is still ranked dead last among the country’s 120 FBS football teams. They were
Quarterback Brock Mansion will make his first career start on Saturday. In relief of Kevin Riley last week, Mansion went 14-of-24.

Win Against Cougars Is A Necessity
Katie DowD
T he clock is ticking on the Cal foot-ball team’s season and its preseason checklist is growing shorter by dele-
tion, not accomplishment.The conference crown has been erased.
A bowl game is close to the same fate. Pride is still there, but just barely.
“I think as the season dwindles down, we have four games left, 16 quarters to get it done,” tailback Shane Vereen said. “We’ve got to take each and every game step-by-step, week-by-week. But at the same time, I think these next four weeks are very important to us.”
Tomorrow’s game in Pullman marks the Bears’ last — and best — chance to win on the road in 2010. If they don’t leave the Palouse with a victory, it will mark the end of the season as we care about it. And it will brand this team forever.
Washington State is, without doubt, a better team now than it has been in quite some time. That doesn’t mean they’re good, though; they aren’t.
“They’re getting a lot better,” Vereen said. “Their defense plays very tough. Not to mention, we haven’t won a game on the road yet. So, you know, with those two fac-tors, we’re going to have to come in ready to play a great team.”
Vereen was wonderfully diplomatic, but

most recently crushed, 42-0, by Arizona State, a team Cal lit up to the tune of 50-17.
Problem is the Bears haven’t fared well against what were supposed to be Swiss-cheese defenses. USC’s pass defense was ranked at 116th before it hosted Cal; Oregon State’s total defense was 119th before it did the same. Cal couldn’t find a first-half score against either.
Tomorrow’s game will also not be played in Memorial Stadium, something that has too often spelled doom for the Bears. If Mansion can help win his team’s final road game of the season, he could set himself up to keep the starting job.
“Since my redshirt year, I was just thinking about it,” Mansion said. “From when I first dressed, from when I first went to Colorado State (in 2007), traveling … I was like, ‘Man, what happens if three guys went down?’”
Three years later, it only took one.
