Rugby, Olympics to reunite in 2016
Not an ole tackle.
COPENHAGEN – After a 92-year absence, the sport of rugby will return to the Summer Olympics at the 2016 Games in Rio De Janeiro following a ratifying vote Friday by the International Olympic Committee.
Needing a straight majority from the IOC for its return, rugby was approved by an 81-8 vote with one abstention. Golf was also approved for Olympic inclusion in 2016 with a 63-27 vote with two abstentions.
Golden Bears helped to bring home gold medals for the United States the last two Games in which rugby participated – 1920 and 1924 – and the return of rugby in a seven-a-side format for 2016 signals a new opportunity for California ruggers to represent their country on the world stage.
“People will need to excuse our rugby pride for a few days. A return to Olympic status is something we’ve worked on for many years,” said Bears head coach Jack Clark. “It is truly a great day in the long history of our sport.”
Cal’s Charlie Tilden, Matt Hazeltine, Red Meigan, George Dixon, C. “Babe” Slater and future Bears coach Ed “Mush” Graff were among the Americans who stunned their European opponents and audiences with their “aggressive tackling and superb punting” according to a French newspaper covering the ’24 Games in Paris.
In the interim, Cal players have made 485 international appearances for the U.S. men’s national team. With the 2016 Olympics preceded by the 2011 and ‘14 Pan Am Games, which has also added rugby, and the 2011 and ’14 Rugby World Cup, itself the third-most-watched sporting event in the world, today’s current and recent Bears have unprecedented opportunities to play for their country at the highest levels of international competition.
Cal kicks of its 2010 season in January.

Dahan and Zerbini Continue Undefeated Run at All-American
California men’s tennis juniors Pedro Zerbini and Jonathan Dahan won their fourth-consecutive match together to advance to the doubles main draw round of 16 at the 2009 D’Novo/ITA All-American Championship Thursday (Oct. 8) at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center on the campus of host Tulsa University. The Golden Bears defeated the fourth-seeded No. 7-ranked Florida State team of Jean-Yves Aubone and Vahid Mirzadeh, 8-6, in the round of 32. In the singles main draw,
No. 42-ranked Zerbini was turned away by No. 23 Alex Lacroix of Florida, 6-2, 6-4. Zerbini fell behind, 5-0, in the first set before earning a break in the sixth game; but it wasn’t enough to hold of Lacroix, who held serve to finish things off, 6-2. The two players each held their first serves in the second set but Zerbini surrendered the first break of the set and fell behind, 3-1. Zerbini earned a break of his own in the sixth game but allowed Lacroix to break back before the two played out the set to a 6-4 Florida victory.
Dahan and Zerbini look for a fifth straight doubles victory on Friday (Oct. 9) as they face Houston Barrick and Michael Shabaz of Virginia. Zerbini will take part in the singles main draw consolation round of 32. For complete schedules, results, draws and up-to-date scores, please visit www.itatennis.com

The California women’s tennis team sent two players into the round of 16 as No. 4-ranked sophomore Jana Juricova and No. 18-ranked junior Marina Cossou each won first-round singles matches at the 2009 Riviera/ITA All-American Championship Thursday, Oct. 8. Neither of the Golden Bears dropped a set to advance and are scheduled for 11 a.m. matches at the Riviera Tennis Club on Friday, Oct. 9.
The fourth-seeded Juricova defeated No. 17 Maria Sanchez of USC, 7-5, 6-3, and will draw No. 19 Ellah Nze of Duke in the next round. Cossou faced No. 53 Alison Ramos of USC in her first-round match. Ramos earned a berth in the championship by winning three matches at the qualifying tournament, but was knocked out of play quickly, 6-0, 6-2. Cossou will play the third seed, No. 3-ranked Marrit Boonstra of Florida in the round of 16. Quarterfinal matches are set for 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9.
Junior Mari Andersson and Juricova teamed up to hold the top seed in the doubles main draw, but the No. 2-ranked doubles team fell, 8-6, to No. 11 Irina Falconi and Amanda McDowell of Georgia Tech in the first round. Andersson and Juricova will have a chance to win the back draw with three more victories and begin with a 9 a.m. match on Friday, Oct. 9, against No. 12 Micaela Hein and Kelcy McKenna of Arizona State.

HONK! Festival Begins Today
Surely Twist is going to make an appearance this weekend at the 2009 Honk! Festival, though I am perturbed by the 2009 Honk! Committee not including a certain Twistian Nathaniel Hook.
Across the country and around the world, a new type of street band is emerging. Acoustic and mobile, borrowing repertoire and inspiration from a diverse set of folk music traditions – New Orleans second line brass bands, European Klezmer, Balkan and Romani music, Brazilian Afro Bloc and Frevo traditions, as well as the passion and spirit of Mardi Gras and Carnival– these "honkers" all share a commitment to several core principles. Metaphorically speaking, they honk their horns for the same reasons motorists honk theirs: to arouse fellow travelers, to warn of danger, to celebrate milestones, and to just plain have fun.
First and foremost, they honk their horns – or beat their drums, or wave their flags – to enliven and embolden their audience. Members vary widely in age, class, ethnicity and background, and although they often wear some kind of uniform, there is also always an emphasis on individuality and a "DIY" (do-it-yourself) sensibility to their instrumentation and attire. These bands play music that is by, for, and of "the people." The distinction between performer and audience, just like the distinctions between different musical genres, is just one more arbitrary social boundary they aspire to overcome. Spectators often think "Hey, I could do that!" and, indeed, these bands often recruit new members right off the street.
Just as important, they honk their horns because it’s the best way they know to protest a world of violence and oppression. Many of these bands are less than a decade old, and many were born in reaction to the fatalism and indifference that has gripped the advanced industrialized democracies. In response, honkers have been providing a heartfelt musical antidote, a soundtrack for anti-war rallies, political mobilizations, pride parades and joyous reclamations of public space. Every one of these bands has a unique sense of humor to complement their sound, as they mock and discredit the roots of hatred and injustice through the whimsical act of making music together. The result is a spectacle that is radical and subversive without being militant or sanctimonious.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Also, apparently Stanfurd’s band goes for this event:
Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band
As a part of Stanford, the LSJUMB rouses the spirit of everyone associated with our great university. Sometimes we’re an athletic pep band. Sometimes we’re the side show at a University ceremony. Sometimes we just show up in a classroom or fountain. Regardless of where or when, we remind our peers and colleagues that Stanford is, on any given day, pretty much the best place on earth. Year-round, the LSJUMB can also be found confounding, surprising, frightening and bringing musical joy in random places across the Bay Area and beyond. You’ll find the LSJUMB at Stanford sporting events big and small. Entertaining fans, supporting the team and leading cheers, the Band is at every home Football, Women’s Volleyball, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball Game. With its mix of outrageous props, hilarious costumes and musical revelry with a good amount of dancing and running around screaming, the Stanford Band continually sets the bar for scatter bands across the nation. In the world of scatter bands, the LSJUMB is The Big Poppa. In the world of everything else, the Stanford Band is well, incomparable.

Men’s Golf Hosts 2009 Alister MacKenzie Invitational
BERKELEY – BEARS HOST 2009 MacKENZIE INVITATIONAL: After a one-year hiatus, during which California hosted the Pac-10 Championship on the same course, the Alister MacKenzie Invitational is back at the Meadow Club with 15 teams competing over 54 holes with two rounds on Monday, Oct. 12, followed by a final round on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
THE EVENT: The Alister MacKenzie Invitational, hosted by the University of California, takes at the Meadow Club in Fairfax, Calif. Two rounds on Monday and a final-round Tuesday will be preceded by a College-Am tournament on Sunday. The Bears are paired with Oregon and Colorado State to begin play on Monday. The course, at par-71 and 6,686 yards, was designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie. Current weather forecasts call for a 40 percent chance of showers on Monday and Tuesday. Live scoring will be available at Golfstat.com with recaps each evening at CalBears.com.
THE COURSE: Designed in 1927 by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, a Scottish surgeon and world-renowned course architect, the Meadow Club is located in the North Bay’s Marin County, high above the town of Fairfax, near the Pacific Ocean. It has hosted 19 satellite fundraising events for Cal Men’s Golf beginning in 1989. Meadow Club has also hosted the 2008 Pac-10 Men’s Golf Championship (hosted by Cal), the 2001 US Open qualifying, the 1997 NorCal PGA Section Championship and the 1990 NCGA Junior Championship. Meadow Club is the oldest of the seven MacKenzie courses in the U.S. – the others are Cypress Point (1928), Valley Club (1928), Pasatiempo (1929), Green Hills (1929), Claremont (1929) and Crystal Downs (1933), the last being the only U.S. course he designed outside of California (Michigan).
DES SAYS: “Good teams play their home course well and great teams have a tendency to run away from the pack,” said head coach Steve Desimone about the advantage of hosting the MacKenzie at Meadow Club, with its well-bunkered approaches and undulating greens. The challenge for coach Desimone and the Bears, with a first-, fourth- and 12th-place finish to open the fall season, is to play consistently up to their potential. “With seven new players, I knew early on that we were going to go through some growing pains,” Desimone said. “We’re going through that now but I think this is going to become a very good golf team. Our qualifying rounds have been among the best we’ve ever had at the Meadow Club. It’s a competitive field with teams from all over, with proud traditions. We’re going to see some great golf.”

Yesterday, Emily Gillette filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Burlington, Vermont, setting the stage for a legal battle, according to the Burlington Free Press.
Three years ago, Gillette, her husband, Brad, and their then 22-month-old daughter, River, were ordered to leave a plane at Vermont’s Burlington International Airport. It was a New York-bound Delta Connections flight operated by Freedom Airlines.
Gillette was nursing River when a flight attendant asked her to cover up. Gillette refused. The flight attendant asked again, offering a blanket. The then 27-year-old mother continued to refuse. The flight attendant “pointed to the exit and demanded: ‘Just get off the plane,’” the court documents read.
Gillette didn’t “engage in any loud or unsafe action that could be viewed as a threat to air safety,” according to the documents.
Gillette told USA Today that she wasn’t exposing herself. She purposely sat in a window seat and she was holding down her shirt while nursing.
Isn’t the baby getting a little old for that?

So, uh, that is all well and good carp, but, um, Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize:
OSLO — The Nobel Committee announced Friday that the annual peace prize was awarded to Barack Obama, just nine months into his presidency, "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
The award cited in particular Mr. Obama’s effort to reduce the world’s nuclear arsenal. "He has created a new international climate," the committee said.

The Peace Prize – going back to Woodrow’s League of Nations – has always been controversial. Linus Pauling, one of my favorites, was awarded one for his “atoms for peace” mantra even though he already had a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work with hemoglobin.

Four American Presidents have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize. They’ve all been, shall we say, questionable:
Theodore Roosevelt – a guy who loved war more than anything else in life
Woodrow Wilson – a guy who was a major force in messing up the Versailles Treaty, leading directly to WWII
Jimmy Carter – As a slap in the face at George Bush (they could have legitimately given it to him at the time of the Camp David accords, they only Begin and Sadat got.)
Barack Obama – ?
And let’s not even discuss Henry Kissinger.

Well, if you are going to insist on being fair, okay, yes, you’re right. He wasn’t a war-loving president so much as a war-loving man. He was always embarrassed that his father avoided service in the Civil War, and as a young man was fixated on getting into battle. Thought war was the only truly “manly” pursuit.
As he got older, he moved further and further to the left, politically. And, although he initially supported American involvement in WWI, after his youngest son was killed, he turned against that war.
I mean, I won’t judge a president based on whether social norms of the time made someone “manly” or not, or what he thought was “manly.” These were vastly different times; Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, but I still think he was a great president. TR did a lot of good for the country, and it is on that basis that I will judge him.

Hey, not criticizing Teddy Roosevelt. Just noting that as a man who made a virtual cult out of worship of war, he was an odd choice for a Nobel Peace Prize.
As for Jefferson, I think he is over-rated as president. Louisiana Purchase was great. Full points for that. But pretty much everything else he did as president was a mess. The embargo just about destroyed the U.S. economy.
I think he gets rated so highly because of the Declaration of Independence and his genius as a political thinker (which are not presidential accomplishments), and the Louisiana Purchase (which is, unquestionably a major accomplishment). As with many great thinkers, he was a terrible administrator. (His term as governor of Virginia was also a disaster.)
If anything was going to trump being a poor administrator, the Declaration of Independence would surely be that thing.
Unquestionably. But he wrote it 25 years before he became president, so I don’t see how it makes him a great president. A great man, yes. A great president, no.
Most of the “great presidents” that everyone remembers are the popular ones. In the modern era, both the most popular Dem (JFK) and Rep (Reagan) were pretty crappy presidents.
dboneisloose
I think of JFK as more over-rated than outright crappy. He only had 21/2 years. If you judged Lincoln or FDR 21/2 years into their presidencies, they wouldn’t fare too well. But I agree that JFK has a legendary status that is undeserved, because of the assassination.
If you judged Lincoln or FDR 2 1/2 years into their presidencies, they wouldn’t fare too well.
This. It cracks me up that people pass judgement on Obama less than a year into his presidency. Ridiculous.

Well, he deserves it a lot more than Al Gore does. I’m sorry, but reducing my carbon footprint doesn’t do jack toward keeping Iran from building the bomb.
I figure he was awarded the Prize because he has changed the world conversation. He’s got people listening to each other, and to him. He says things that politicians just don’t say – positive things, exhortations that can really inspire people to make a change in this world. He’s the first sitting President to step foot in Ghana. He’s the first sitting President to chair a meeting of the UN Security Council. He’s clearly taking a strong step into making the world a better place. He is willing and able to lead by example.
He’s changed the US-Arab conversation. He gave his first interview as President on Arab television. Consider his rousing speech in Cairo. His first call as President was to Palestinian President Abbas. Considering where relations were before he took over, he’s done an incredible job.
Consider the new conversations that people are having over race relations in this country. Obviously, I’m not saying that’s everything hunky-dory, or even that things are better since he was elected – but he’s got people opening their minds, and that is a great step.
I think he’s done a lot already toward making the world a better and safer place. He gives people hope – people from all walks of life, all over the world. That’s no small accomplishment.
Do I think he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. No – but neither does he, as he stated in his press release. He’s no Elie Weisel, he’s no Mikhail Gorbachev – I do think it’s soon, but the more I think about it, the more I can see why they chose him.

Welllllll in terms of very, very long term world stability, reducing your carbon footprint may keep small, poor, unstable nations from building the bomb or wanting to build the bomb.
The idea is that if we stop or slow global warming, poor developing nations will have more stable food supplies which will prevent civil and social unrest which will lead to more stable countries and more stable democracies and more stable trading partners who simply won’t have any incentive or intention to bomb us or those around them.

That’s what they want you to think! (I have no idea where this is going but the point I’m trying to get across is that Iran is not a nation unlike other nations: more repressed than some but not so fervent as they’ve been made out to be. On average no society wants to immanentize their own eschaton, leaving the more likely reasons why Iran’s leadership wants nuclear power: either to piss off the rest of the world and create an “us against them” mentality among the populace, or because they really just think nuclear power is a swell idea. In any case the specter of an atomic Iran has been horribly overblown, partially because, well, they’re brown people on the other side of the world and humans sometime fall into the trap of thinking that people aren’t basically all the same, regardless of locale.)

The first place he gave a speech after leaving office was at SC (odd, isn’t it?) – I went, and while it didn’t change any of my opinions about his policies, it did help me understand why people supported him – the guy was a like a rock star, he just had that indefinable quality that appeals to a crowd.

A fair point, such as they were.
I could have been clearer – I couldn’t understand the fervor of the support, because on television he’d always looked like a doddering old fool to me. But seeing him in person made the fervor clearer.
Exactly. The greatness of Jefferson’s non-presidential accomplishments overshadows the disasters of his presidency, and people call him a great president (although an argument could be made that the Louisiana Purchase was such a great accomplishment that it should trump everything else — even though Jefferson himself said that he was violating the constitution and his personal principles by making the purchase. But, hey, it was such a deal!)
But there was no such halo effect when Jefferson was president. His complete embargo on foreign trade (1807-08) threw the country into a deep economic depression, which made Jefferson horribly unpopular. Jefferson’s fervent belief in the superiority of agriculture and the evil of business, commerce and cities caused him to make some very bad decisions.
So much for the sturdy yeoman of the agrarian republic, eh?
I was just in New Orleans and I still say that was 19th century money well spent. Mind you, the state of the local infrastructure you’d think that was the last time they spent any money.

Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
You’re right, he did win it for arbitrating the end of the Russo-Japanese war. And I can’t help but like TR. But the guy absolutely loved war. He’s the one who coined the phrase “A splendid little war” for the Spanish-American War. Doesn’t really seem like peace prize material.
Is the award based on the person or on the accomplishment?
Or, in Obama’s case, potential?
Act all day, dance all night. Let's get it poppin'... I'm in Bombay, trick!
But who are the actual people, what criteria is used to pick them, and what criteria, if any, are they supposed to use in making the choice?
I suppose I could look this up, but it’s better to bitch.
They’re Norwegian politicians, basically. The criteria they use, according to Nobel’s will, is to award the prize:
“to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”
In other words, the whole fucking thing is totally arbitrary.

OK, fine, I’ll make an argument. Who has done more over the past year to improve America’s image around the world than Barack Obama? Moreover, from the above article, this:
"The question we have to ask is who has done the most in the previous year to enhance peace in the world," Mr. Jagland said. "And who has done more than Barack Obama?"
He compared the selection of Mr. Obama with the award in 1971 to the then West German Chancellor Willy Brandt for his "Ostpolitik" policy of reconciliation with communist eastern Europe.
"Brandt hadn’t achieved much when he got the prize, but a process had started that ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall," said Mr. Jagland. "The same thing is true of the prize to Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990, for launching perestroika. One can say that Barack Obama is trying to change the world, just as those two personalities changed Europe."
"We have to get the world on the right track again," he said. Without referring specifically to the Bush era, he continued: "Look at the level of confrontation we had just a few years ago. Now we get a man who is not only willing but probably able to open dialogue and strengthen international institutions."

Chron article on your Golden Bears
After being outscored 72-6 in two straight losses and falling from No. 6 to unnoticed in the AP rankings, the Bears are seemingly unified in their message.
But reality showed Thursday at Memorial Stadium, when Cal made a sweeping change from its usual bye-week pattern.
Instead of using the session as a scrimmage for inexperienced players, the Bears had a full-on practice for the veterans. Words say Cal is OK with the way the rest of the season will take shape. Actions say they’re making the necessary changes to ensure the current trend won’t continue.
“We felt like our 1’s needed work and we wanted to utilize the whole week,” Tedford said. “We also wanted to get a jump on the game plan.”

If they get beat, then we’re quite possibly looking at a repeat of ‘07, with some serious questions about the way Jeff Tedford runs his program.

CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Interesting.
Although I’m so proud that our country is no longer seen as a joke in geopolitics because of Obama, I still found it surprising that he won. YEs…I do recognize that he’s made tons of overtures for peace, brought evil regimes back to the bargaining table and made domestic policies that opened the door to reverse our embarrassing climate change record. I guess compared to our record over the past eight years, he’s done a tremendous amount for peace.
However, this feels somewhat like a preemptive award, like he’s got 20 returning senior starters so he’s crowned the National Champion in Sept. Of course this could be a, “he’s soooo much better than Bush,” award… which given Bush’s economy blunders, is a pretty legitimate justification in my book.
I also think this award could be half deserved for what he could ultimately do and be half manipulative. Those Nobel committee members are pretty smart. How can the Peace Prize winner increase troops in Afghanistan? How can the Peace Prize winner occupy Pakistan, increase missile defense in Turkey, preemptively bomb Iran or not make Middle East peace a top priority?
Frankly, if this does “force” Obama’s hand to deliver on his peace overtures, I wouldn’t mind that at all. That would be a dream come true for me.
In the end though, I hope everyone doesn’t expect too much to happen as a result of this. In my book, actual action and results matter more than prizes. After all, last year Putin was also a nominee.
