DAVIS, CALIF. – Sophomore shortstop Brian Guinn hit two, three-run homers and the Golden Bears pounded out 22 hits as Cal defeated UC Davis, 21-4, Wednesday afternoon at Dobbins Stadium in Davis. The Golden Bears, snapping an eight-game losing streak, improved to 16-18, while the Aggies dropped to 6-25. Cal also had big days from sophomore first baseman Mark Canha (2-for-4, home run, two RBI), junior second baseman Jeff Kobernus (3-for-5, double, home run, four RBI) and junior designated hitter Blake Smith (2-for-4, home run, three RBI). Redshirt freshman Chad Bunting also had a pinch-hit two-run homer in the eighth inning.
Guinn finished the day 5-for-7 with six RBI, hitting the first home runs of his collegiate career. Cal’s 21 runs were the most since topping Loyola Marymount, 21-9, March 15, 2008 at Evans Diamond.
The winning pitcher for the Bears was freshman right-hander Matt Flemer (3-2, 3.0 innings, two hits, three runs, one walk, three strikeouts), who had replaced sophomore starter Brian Diemer (4.0 innings, three hits, one run, three walks, three strikeouts) in the fifth inning.
Cal scored four runs in the first inning off of UC Davis starter Nathan Slater (0-2, 2.2 innings, six hits, six runs, four earned runs, four walks, one strikeout).

Softball beats st. Mary’s:
The No. 14 California Golden Bears (29-12, 5-4 Pac-10) earned a 1-0 victory over the Saint Mary’s Gaels (18-22, 2-5 PCSC) Wednesday afternoon at Levine-Fricke Field.
California had their first scoring opportunity in the bottom of the first when junior Valerie Arioto, who began the game as the Bears’ first baseman, laced a lead off single. After stealing second, freshman Jamia Reed walked to give the Bears two on with no outs. Freshman Elia Reid drew a two out walk to load the bases. Junior Shannon Thomas drove a ball to right field, but it was caught by the Gaels’ right fielder to end Cal’s threat.
Arioto started another Bears’ scoring opportunity in the fourth when she smacked a one-out double. An intentional pass to senior Gina Leomiti gave the Bears a pair on with two outs, but the Gaels got a ground out to short to keep the Bears off the scoreboard.
Thomas singled to left with one out in the fifth inning, taking advantage of a bad throw by the left fielder to advance to second. After a sharp lineout to the third baseman, head coach Diane Ninemire elected to let first-year Bear Sati Houston bat with a runner on second and two outs. Houston took advantage of the opportunity and singled to right, with Thomas racing home to put the Bears ahead 1-0. The hit by Houston was the first of her collegiate career and produced her first collegiate RBI.

Mens tennis to take on Stanford:
THIS WEEK: The No. 39-ranked California men’s tennis team (10-9, 2-3 Pac-10) will complete its regular-season dual schedule on the road as the Golden Bears face No. 8 Stanford (17-5, 2-3 Pac-10) in the Big Slam this Saturday, April 18, at 1 p.m. on The Farm. All the action from Taube Family Tennis Center in Stanford, Calif. can be seen live via links for scores and video at www.gostanford.com. The last time the two teams met, the Cardinal escaped defeat in Berkeley by pulling out a couple of tough points to swing momentum its way. Stanford won, 5-2, back on Feb. 21 and will have a target on its back as Cal heads across the bay with revenge on its mind.
LAST WEEK: The Bears split matches in the Pacific Northwest as they defeated Oregon, 6-1, after falling in a tough 4-3 match to No. 21 Washington. Earlier in the week, Cal hosted its final home match of the season at the San Francisco Tennis Club as No. 17 Pepperdine visited the Bay Area. The Waves pulled off a come-from-behind victory to claim a 4-3 win over the Bears on Senior Day. Sophomore Pedro Zerbini got his 20th and 21st singles wins of the year including a big 6-1, 6-3 trouncing of No. 40-ranked Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan of Washington. Freshman Thai Tu also got two singles wins over the weekend to push his total to 18 in his first year. Sophomore Jonathan Dahan enjoyed a strong showing as he claimed victories in all three of his singles matches to run his record to 17-10; and also won two of his three doubles matches when teamed with fellow second-year player, Bozhidar Katsarov. Cal earned its 13th doubles point of the year against the Ducks and went on to win its second conference match of the dual season.

Rugby to take on Minnesota:
BERKELEY – The top-seeded Golden Bears (27-1) face No. 16 Minnesota (10-3) in the Round of 16 Saturday, April 18, at 1:30 p.m. on Witter Rugby Field during the second of a three-day event featuring Pools A and C of the national playoff field.
The winner of the Bears vs. Gophers will face either Cal Poly or Air Force in the Round of 8 Sunday at 1 p.m.
Minnesota edged Ohio State in the Midwest regional playoffs to earn its 2009 national playoff slot. The Gophers were on Witter Rugby Field for the 2007 Round of 16, where they lost to Cal Poly, and advanced to the national playoff field last season, too, before falling to Penn State.
Having sought all season to peak at the right time, California brings a team into the postseason that includes some veteran leadership, still-unproven young talent and newcomers who have added new dimensions to the Bears’ attack.

Big Meet:
This Week
California renews its rivalry with Stanford in the 115th annual Big Meet on Saturday, April 18, at Stanford. The Invitational kicks off with the women’s javelin at 11:50 a.m. The running events begin at 2 p.m. with the women’s 3000-meter steeplechase. The Golden Bears hope to break its current losing streak to the Cardinal, as Stanford has swept the last two Big Meets. The Cal men are currently ranked No. 19 in the USTFCCCA rankings.
Last Time Out: Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invite
Highlighting last weekend’s Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational was the record-setting performance by junior Ryan Young in the javelin. Young set both the school and the meet records on Friday when he posted a record-setting mark of 250-10 (76.45m) to take the top spot overall. Young’s performance earned him this week’s Pac-10 Men’s Field Athlete of the Week honors. Senior Martin Maric also earned a regional-qualifying mark in the javelin.
In Saturday’s action at the Invitational, the Bears earned three more regional qualifiers as junior Kimyon Broom qualified in the 100-meter hurdles (13.52), sophomore Cyrena Giordano qualified in the women’s pole vault (12-07.50, 3.85m) and freshman Sebastian Sam qualified in the 800 (1:49.85). Girodano became the third Cal women’s pole vaulter to regionally qualify this season. Sam’s time was a personal best and Cal’s best 800 time this season.

Womens Crew CoHost Invitational:
This Week
California will co-host the first Lake Natoma Invitational with Sacramento State this Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, at Lake Natoma in Gold River, Calif. The regatta boasts a strong, nine-team field, including five schools with nationally ranked varsity 8+ boats. The results from the Lake Natoma Invitational could go a long way in helping teams earn selection to the NCAA Rowing Championships, considering the number of quality, complete teams from the West, Central and South Regions. This weekend’s field includes the co-host Hornets, the Golden Bears and their third-ranked varsity 8+, Stanford, which boasts the No. 2 varsity 8+, Wisconsin, with the 16th-ranked varsity 8+, UCLA, with the No. 19 varsity 8+, Minnesota, with the 20th-ranked varsity 8+, Tennessee, Texas and Central Florida.
“A few of us have been tossing around the idea for this regatta for a couple of years, and I’m really glad it’s coming together,” Cal head coach Dave O’Neill said. “We have nine great teams coming from across the country, and I’m very much looking forward to the weekend.”

Eerily similar to a two years ago, when they had to beat the Nets to secure the 2 seed and a MUCH easier side of the bracket. They didn’t, Cleveland won the 2 seed, went to the finals.

Face it the Celtics have the name franchise and still have Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Those two players coupled with the Celtics means the refs will toads be on their side.
Plus, Rondo is long enough and quick enough to give Rose some issues. Paul Pierce should be able to manhandle Salmons, Ray Allen should be able to get good looks against Ben Gordon, and most of all VDN is an idiot who coached the Bulls to at least five loses this season. I can’t imagine what will happen when he is pitted against Rivers and Thibodibbadibba…..

In a moment of sincerity (what am i thinking)
Thomas has been playing pretty well since late January
Powe won’t dunk over Thomas, more or less push him out of the way and dunk on an open hoop.

Oh Hell!
Basketball can not be summed up in statistics. Statistics are merely an abstraction of reality, and doesn’t incorporate the whole truth.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
perhaps the Oh Hell! was a bit extreme. Nonetheless, I hate it over a blogabulls when everyone skews statistics to make their point. I prefer watching the game, see who is making plays, who is messing up, and who is improving.
Thomas still has too many brain farts, but he has been improving, and he has always been able to make a big play out of nowhere (and no, I’m not simply caught up in the flash). His help D has improved and his defensive positioning has improved. On offense, he is almost always a mismatch, and if given playing time, will get to the line.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
We’ll see. It’s interesting how contradictory your reports are compared to the stats. I mean they’re telling two completely different stories.

One note: VDN is a horrible coach. He jacked around with his minutes and pulled him for no reason a lot of times, particularly in the first half of the season. In the first half of the season he was bad.
After the Bulls made some trades and had some injuries TT playing time stablized at around 30 min. a game. He then began to play a lot better.
This might explain the discrepancy in the stats
They're after our precious bodily fluids
so awhile back I posted the All-Time Bone Headed Sabean signings, and the All Time A’s Free Agent Loses/Trades. I had Vizquel at short, on the merrits of his sub 600 OPS. I took some flak from Giants fan. I backed it up with, “Well, they just signed Renteria so maybe Vizquel will be off the list.”
After last night, amirite?
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
What happened?
I am the Tyrant Boy King Of UC Eugene! An endless cavalcade of worthless inanities is my currency!
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
this sums it up well
I am going to resist the urge to join the Lunatic Fringe and declare the Edgar Renteria signing a complete bust eight games into the season. I want to see more. What I’ve seen so far has not been good.
It’s not just the .138 batting average, but the defense. Yes, Renteria still looks OK going to his left. But going to his right and charging the ball, not so good.
On Matt Cain’s first pitch tonight, Rafael Furcal hit a slug bunt toward Renteria, who had to charge it. It was a tough play, but Renteria could have gotten the out had he not taken so long to get to the ball, pick it up and throw it. I’ve seen the same thing on balls he backhands. The transfer time from hand to hand and the throw take too long.
In the ninth inning, with the bases loaded, nobody out and the infield in, Russell Martin hit a ball right to Renteria. He got the force at home, but not before bobbling the ball. Had he fielded it cleanly the Giants would have had a double play, and that would have changed the inning entirely. With first base open, Brian Wilson could have walked James Loney and faced Matt Kemp, a right-hander. Instead, the bases were loaded for Loney, and Wilson walked him.

Was I the only one pissed by Bochy’s management decisions last night?
Howry puts two on base and is obviously struggling. Bochy does nothing. Dodgers tie the game.
Howry just destroyed our rally effort in one half an inning. Bochy decides to leave him in for the top of the ninth.
Howry loads the bases in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game with no outs. Bochy decides maybe its time for a change.

We once had a stalker. No joke. Hed come by our balcony while we were sitting out there having lunch and snap photos of us. He’d come by in the nighttime and take more photos. I chased him down the street once, but he didnt say a single word to me. Nothing.
Once I came out to go to work and he was taking photos of my wife’s car’s licesnse plate. That……..was creepy. I was going to my car (other direction) and he said “What? Are you going to do something about this?” That was obscene. I called the cops, but they said they couldnt do anything.
He just disappeared after that.

All links SF Gate unless otherwise noted:
As Avinash reported, there’s been a child abduction:
An Amber Alert has been issued for a 22-month-old Alameda County toddler believed to have been abducted by her father at knifepoint, authorities said today.
Valdiva, 25, fled with Yosseline, who was last wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and beige sweat pants, authorities said.
The suspect is described as a Latino man with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. He was last seen driving a white 1992 four-door Toyota Camry with California license plate 5GBD911.
The suspect was last seen driving on state Highway 99 in central California and may be headed toward Mexico, although he may have returned to Alameda County.
CGBers should note that the suspect is armed, so make it a headshot.

Miller on Cal transfer Monty & WSU
“It’s a college town,” he said. “That’s what I was looking for out of high school.”
But Montgomery didn’t come to Washington State out of high school. The junior initially committed to Washington. Then, under pressure, he says, he signed with California.
“I had a lot of factors in the house, a lot of pressure to go certain places. When it all came up, I ended up at Cal,” he said. “My mom she really wanted me to go to Cal. I tried it for her. It just didn’t work out for me.”
Football wasn’t the problem. Montgomery’s Cal career had a promising start. He was the Bears third-leading rusher as a redshirt freshman, with 171 yards on 36 carries and two touchdowns. He also caught four passes for 48 yards. While it was clear Jahvid Best was ahead of him in the pecking order, Montgomery likely would have gotten plenty of touches in 2008.
But Cal wasn’t a good fit off the field. Let’s just say Montgomery isn’t the sort to wander Telegraph Avenue in a tie-dye T-shirt.
“It was the place more than the football,” he said. “I wasn’t in love with where I was at. I wasn’t focused on school and football as I should have been. I just hated where I was and I had to get out of there.”
Miller defends his Top 30 list:
Folks seemed most disappointed that Oregon safety T.J. Ward, California defensive lineman Cameron Jordan and USC guard Jeff Byers were left off the list. I can understand that.Not saying it for sure — you know, you’ve got to let things percolate — but California running back Jahvid Best might have been No. 1 if not for his off-season surgeries — elbow and foot — that knocked him out of spring practices. Durability is another factor.

His questionable games against the only good secondaries he’s faced
Seen him bumped off his routes at the LoS A LOT against the one good CB he played last year
I see his upside as TJ Housh (not ever a true #1 WR, but can be extremely productive in tandem), so I would consider this a bust as a top 5 pick.

I think is stupid that her producers make her wear these ridiculously over-padded bras (she looks great naturally), but her broadcasts are great overall… plus I really like John Jackson’s commentary. He should get a shot at the bigtime too, IMHO.

Wow. First person ever. I tell everyone my opinion but no one actually cares.
Have a thread where the top 32 are chosen. Memes have to be nominated. Some will be in automatically (Sanchez declaring is an automatic first seed and the heavy favorite), but after everyone nominates whatever they please, the number of memes will be divided into 4 regions (try to seperate the best ones from the random ones from 6 months ago that Maharg nominates to be clever). There will be more than 8 in a region, but then over the course of a few days have one thread a day where the top 8 of each region are decided based on a survey, then make Avinash (CGB’s resident slave) seed each bracket.
Or you could just ask the Mizzou blog how they did it.

I can make the bracket, I’d need help brainstorming though. For the past couple days I’ve been considering just setting up a bracket and subjecting you all to my seed preferences. But rollonubears idea might be more diplomatic.
the Maharg is above catch phrases
I can make the nomination fanpost right now. We’ll get everyones nomination, do the survey thing (like the DBD a few weeks ago about best things on CGB) after splitting up all the nominations into 4 regions. There will probably be more than 8 per region so that is where the survey comes in. After we get 8 per region, we start to do the matchups. 1 matchup a day, a few paragraphs for each about that memes merits, poll decides the winner. We could have the main user/creator of a particular meme write the few paragraphs. Personally I feel this has the potential to be really entertaining, while also explaining some of the memes to lurkers. I think it should be front paged but its not up to me.

Rivals put together a list of the top 12 OOC games. The Pac-10 is well represented.
http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=935976
Cal – Maryland didn’t make the list, but Cal – Minnesota did:
12. California at Minnesota, Sept. 19: Cal is expected to contend for the Pac-10 title, while Minnesota should be a middle-of-the-pack team in the Big Ten. If nothing else, this is an intriguing “measuring stick” game.

I think Utah lost a lot to graduation/NFL, so I would say Oregon should be able to beat them at home. Plus, they lost a stud Offensive Coordinator.
Boise St. on the road is a much greater challenge, but in watching the Pointsetta Bowl I wasn’t too impressed with Boise or Kellen Moore. I think Moore doesn’t have great arm strength and against athletic db’s might throw some picks. I’d say this one is 60/40 in favor of Oregon.

Okie St – Georgia is interesting in that both teams lost against good teams in the big games year The only difference is Okie St put up a nice fight most of the time, while Georgia simply wilted like an old man coming down from viagra. With Georgia losing its stars and the game in Oklahoma, I say Okie St.
V-Tech – Bama is a tough one. I’d go with Bama simply because I think V-Tech overachieved last season, and Nick Saban will be ready (unlike the sugar bowl)

I think we need Oregon to be great (and then lose to Cal). Hopefully this happens, although they have an ambitious schedule.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
agreed, back to back wins against Oregon and USC would propel us into the top 6. As long as Oregon St is their usual self and hopefully wins some OOC games this year, and Stanfurd is bowl-bound we should have enough back-end quality to not drop in the rankings in Novemever.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
Oh my
At least we know where Amy went (down in the comments section somewhere)
3. USC
Anyone can pick USC to win the conference title, but I’m going to show you why they won’t even finish second. Think of this year as payback for that horrible Sanchez press conference.
First of all, Pete Carroll is a phenomenal recruiter, and he hires other coaches who are young and enthusiastic recruiters. Because of this, he gets all the best players.
However, there’s a tradeoff—USC coaches are great recruiters, but they are content to let competition among blue chip prospects determine their depth chart rather than trying to develop the talent they already have. And this year, they just might pay for it.
New coordinators on both sides of the ball, new QB, new LBs. I know they have talent stashed away, but you don’t win titles with new quarterbacks. And with so much change, I think the Trojans will struggle at the beginning of the season.
By the end, they’ll probably be among the elite, but with an early game at Ohio State and playing away against both Cal and Oregon, I think they lose at least two games this year.
2. Oregon
I hesitated on this pick, but I decided to take a risk and really stick it to all the USC homers out there. I think Oregon has the potential to win the Pac 10, but with a new coach and the second coming of Onterrio Smith at running back, there’s reason for concern.
In spite of that, Oregon seems to always have talent stashed away at the skill positions, and if Chip Kelly turns out to be an even better coach than Bellotti, the sky is the limit for this team. If not, USC could sneak in at runner-up.
Pac 10 Title- California
Here’s what should scare teams about Jahvid Best—last year, he was coming off major surgery (yes I realize he had two surgeries this offseason, but they were very minor), had no consistent QB play, and had an offensive line severely depleted by injuries…and he ran for 1580 yards with 15 TDs and led the nation in yards per carry.
Cal has offensive lineman who were starting last year and are now struggling to hold on to a backup role. That’s how many injuries they had.
Again, there are concerns here, as there are with all the teams on the list. But Cal has so much talent returning. The secondary and defensive line are back, and the new linebackers are more experienced than others might lead you to believe.
All the receivers and running backs return, and if Riley (because he WILL win the job) can play the way he’s capable of playing, Cal could put together a very special season.

Best Place to Have Sex: Gardner Main Stacks
To an outsider, UC Berkeley is pretty sexually inactive. Students disappear into the labyrinth that is Gardner Main Stacks, never to return from their studying. The place is always packed, even on Saturday nights. Little do non-Berkeleyans know, there’s a lot more going on than studying there. It’s like the Bear’s Lair, only it’s the Sex Lair.
The library is a public place, open to all students, yet many find more privacy between the bookshelves than between the sheets at a frat house, co-op or dorm. Creep over to the furthest corner, and you might hear Madame Bovary moan. Peep into one of the study rooms, and you might see some students who found out they have chemistry. We Berkeley students spend all our time cramming for exams—it’s only fair to cram ourselves into each other every now and then.
You voted the main stacks the best place to have sex, so find a friend and slide between the texts. Don’t forget the library will be open 24 hours a day during finals, so you’ll have all the time you want to work off that stress.

Best Blog: California Golden Blogs
California Golden Blogs isn’t five guys sitting in grandma’s basement in their underwear, typing aimless blabber about all things Cal sports. In fact, the men who run California Golden Blogs are all employed, according to a poster named ragnarok. Four are situated in the Bay Area, while a lone correspondent reports from New York. And the quality shows—ever since joining the sbnations.com network of blogs, California Golden Blogs has blossomed into to web’s top source for Cal apologetics.
According to ragnarok, the site does not reap profits. Any and all ad revenue is donated to the Cal Band, and the only motive that keeps California Golden Blogs running is fandom—or fanaticism, if you prefer.
For fans who would rather not participate in rabid Cal discussions under an online alias, be sure to at least check out the numerous highlight reels put together by a reader named danzig by clicking on the fanshots tab.

Best Local Band: Cal Band
Anyone attending a home football game has seen Cal Band running out of Memorial Stadium’s North Tunnel. Anyone on Sproul Plaza during a Friday afternoon in the fall cannot miss their sprint to the Savio Steps to play during a sports rally. Whether they wear traditional marching uniforms on the field or are decked out in straw-hat band outfits at basketball games, their presence is always felt.
The band’s work goes well beyond "Fight for California": Apart from performing creative and entertaining half-time shows (most notably, the video game-themed show that swept the Internet), the band pumps up fans at Haas Pavilion while making the atmosphere less than welcoming for opposing teams.
During the ESPN GameDay crew’s appearance, Cal Band kept the gymnasium rocking and displayed our school’s spirit on national television. And 2009 marked the return of their annual Spring Show, a variety program fundraiser. Simply put, sports—and indeed, life—on campus would not be the same without Cal Band.

Best of Berkeley is a joke. Every single restaurant they pick is just whatever’s best known or closest to campus. They picked almost the entire asian ghetto, for crying out loud. They should call it “Best of things you can hit with a slingshot from Sproul Plaza”.

What bugs me even more is when they pick a restaurant because it’s the only establishment in its category on Southside. Case in point, Gypsy’s, which wins best Italian every year because there ARE no other Italian places on Southside.
Btw Giovanni’s on Shattuck is kind of awesome. If you like gloomy, musty, decrepit-looking Italian places (which I do).

a bit of history
the actual design for wurster was dramatically different. It called for a four story building overlooking a central plaza. it got shot down by the UC Berkeley Planning commission which wanted a tower to accent that side of campus.
Bleedin planners, always tripping up architects, of course they are just bitter that we call planners architecture drop-outs.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
the design principles go back to respecting the materials, modernism, and minimalism, hence the no decoration. Also, Wurster was actually one of the cheapest buildings on campus (adjusted for inflation). 90% of the buildings on campus are concrete just like Wurster, only they have some sort of decorative finish on the outside.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
It also makes for good teaching, I bet
since the entire building’s structure is exposed.
i would say yes, but they don’t teach that stuff really. the program is set up for the students to learn all the real-world stuff in the real-world, they focus on design and theories while in college. How a building stands or is built, we have to wait until we get paid to learn that.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
I didn't necessarily mean how it stands
isn’t the interior completely exposed too? And, even if they are learning ONLY design and theory (btw, I think they definitely learn a lot of structure stuff too- at least, my one architecture friend is), that stuff is still impacted by structural concerns…they have to learn SOME of what practically speaking goes into a building.
having been through the program (class 05), no they don’t. There is one course arch 150 which is an introduction to structures (taught by a GREAT professor, Gary Black), but it is optional
They're after our precious bodily fluids
Got it
Maybe my friend took extra structural engineering-type courses.
its possible some people double-major with civil engineering or minor in structural

James Montgomery on why he left Cal
Football wasn’t the problem. Montgomery’s Cal career had a promising start. He was the Bears third-leading rusher as a redshirt freshman, with 171 yards on 36 carries and two touchdowns. He also caught four passes for 48 yards. While it was clear Jahvid Best was ahead of him in the pecking order, Montgomery likely would have gotten plenty of touches in 2008.
But Cal wasn’t a good fit off the field. Let’s just say Montgomery isn’t the sort to wander Telegraph Avenue in a tie-dye T-shirt.
“It was the place more than the football,” he said. “I wasn’t in love with where I was at. I wasn’t focused on school and football as I should have been. I just hated where I was and I had to get out of there.”

California = crazy
Most midwest or east coast schools have WAY less crazy.
But i have no idea why
The university should really plan on its next dorm (whenever they plan to open a new one) being on the Shattuck/ West side of campus. It would really be ideal to shift the orientation of campus in that direction.
That’s a great idea.
Then Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3 students hang out together, sometimes with Clark Kerr kids.
Foothill, Boalt, and Stern all chill.
And the Shattuck dorms, well, who cares about those kids and their social interaction?
Also, this reminds me of the kid who complained at my friend’s apartment on Saturday night when we were listening to music and drinking at, wait for it, 10 PM and threatened to call the cops. Said buddy lives near the frats… why would you live there if you plan on studying on Saturday nights at 10 PM?

This is overstated
The walk is like 5 blocks from say, Shattuck and Bancroft to telegraph and bancroft.
+ there are over 4 separate bus lines running that distance.
Also, any new dorm (in say 10 years) would be big enough to be it’s own community.
Plenty of people live on west side, so there’d be plenty of hang out.
Not that I disagree, but the freshman mindset is different.
When I was a freshman, we went to Mel’s for dinner one night (this was way early on).
We thought Mel’s was so far, we took a bus.
JAI HO!
I was gonna say the opposite…when I was a freshman, we didn’t really know or judge distances all that well. We walked from Foothill to one of the hockey club’s games at Berkeley Iceland (Shattuck and Derby). The game STARTED at like midnight, too.

and would make BANK.
Seriously, if you were mega-rich, in this economy, w/ cheap building materials, and depressed real estate, wouldn’t this be a nice investment?
No because you have to deal with the city of Berkeley, which prohibits progress of any kind.
JAI HO!
correct. That, plus homeless people trashing it
that’s the downside.
I dunno, it’s probably still worth the hassle. The theater in WC was really successful, and I bet the theater in Berkeley would rock, given student + rich north berkeley types.
and the residents, the residents are also horrible to deal with
should i reiterate my historic parking lot point from a few weeks ago?
They're after our precious bodily fluids
I interned at berkeley firm that specialized in dealing with Berkeley residents. We did low income housing which the city of berkeley promoted and tried to help us with planning requirements, but the residents would always get in the way. If their original arguments didn’t work, they would move for the historic society to proclaim it a historic landmark, therefore redevelopment would no longer be an option. Because of this, Berkeley has a large number of oddly historic landmarks. In fact, there are multiple historic parking lots. That’s right we can not redevelop a parking lot because it has historical value!
Berkeley Residents Suck

Funny
this could apply to any part of Berkeley…
anything Telegraph has, Shattuck has, but generally better.
Disagree. Check out North Berkeley (or the San Pablo area, which is not as nice but has a ton of great food). They’re totally different.
I live right next to the Gourmet Ghetto
I agree.
But in terms of where students live.
The comparison is between Shattuck and Telegraph.
Do we think massive numbers of Cal students (beyond engineers/scientists) will suddenly move to northside?
I was referring to the “any part of Berkeley” statement. I agree with you; that definitely doesn’t apply to students, who are going to stay near campus.
I think we're on the same page
my bad on the “Any part of Berkeley” overstatement.
I thought the berkeley residents living northside were called grad students
They're after our precious bodily fluids
there are a pretty solid #
of undergrads up there.
A lot of my Chem E friends.
I might be up there next year (although I don’t really like the area as much…too quiet, it will be convenient for classes.
It is quiet, and walking back home late at night is either really pleasant or really creepy. It’s usually really creepy.

Actually
UC and the city are working together to develop some projects in West Berkeley already. There is a large hotel and conference center going in between Fulton/oxford and shattuck on Center st. as well as new labs and administrative buildings. No new dorms (to my knowledge)
The city wants to take advantage of the rep. theatre, and building a more vibrant downtown. they recently passed an ordinance which banned smoking within 20 ft. of commercial buildings in the downtown zone. unfortunately, it is still legal to defecate in public. to me that would be step one.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
I know
I agree with the trend.
but, none of the current buildings are really student oriented…
I think a long-range plan (ie one that won’t happen until all the hippies die) is to tear out Center street and have Strawberry creek be free-flowing with a nice walkway and restaurants and stuff. It’s a great idea but it was proposed University of Hitler California Oak Death of Freedom so the city will oppose it.

its funny how many of you guys are chemists. I too am a chemistry major in my third year. I personally loved 120A- probably my favorite class at Cal though chem 122 is up there. Of course I dont share the aversion to math that so many chemists sadly do (I am a math minor). I think even more important than vector calc is a strong linear algebra background, esp if your prof. prefers Dirac QM, which he should. I know math 54 must be taken concurrently but i rec completing it beforehand because a lot of the useful stuff comes at the end (eigenvalues, diagonalization, etc.). I also rec math 110 ( basically, advanced linear algebra), but it’s not for every1.
wow…yeah, I stick to organic synthesis. I’m afraid of the dark side.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
i actually work in an org. catalysis research group, but i am increasingly sure that i want to do pchem in grad school
that’s neat! In Chem or ChemE?
to plug my field….
I think it’s easier to get a job if you stick to organic/biological chemistry. That’s just my opinion.
If you do go the pchem route, maybe think of physical organic group? A lot of these groups study a lot of mechanisms of various reactions.
While it’s VERY important to do what you like, I’m of the opinion one can get TOO specialized that results in like 6 US jobs when it’s all said and done.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
in Chem strictly.
i definitely have entertained the thought of doing phys. org. i still have a while to decide and plan on using as much time as ive got. I do feel pretty strongly though that what i do currently is too devoid of calculations and problem-solving to be interesting for the rest of my life.
in terms of getting jobs, i am pretty set on going into academia after grad school, if that makes any difference. at the very least, my organic background should make me somewhat versatile.
nb: how do you guys post so much and stay productive. ive posted like 4 or 5 comments today and already feel my productivity dropping- decided to put off running that column until tomorrow…
that sounds good. Academia’s a great route, provided that you (and your family) will likely have to relocate. You won’t know if academia will be your route until you start writing grants as a postdoc – that’s what makes/breaks you. To best prepare you to do that, publish like 6-8 papers in high impact journals before you obtain your Ph.D. Then go do a postdoc with a world-reknowned professor. You’ll need to be proficient in 2-3 subdisciplines; for me that’s natural product total synthesis, methodolgy, and biosensors. Being proficient in just one subdiscipline will make you a “meh” candidate for an academic job.
You mike like Ken Houk’s lab at (gasp!) UCLA. There’s always Roald Hoffmann (Cornel, Nobel Prize winner) but he’s off doing other things a lot of the time (see roaldhoffmann.com!).
The rest of the superstars are more in the organic (Nicolau, Evans, Corey, Kishi, Wender, Breslow, etc.) or bioorganic (Dervan, Shriver) arenas. Hardcore pchem your on your own.
“productivity” is in the eye of the beholder (CGB meme?). While we joke around a bunch, I feel like it’s kind of a community service thing. Plus, I don’t have to run columns anymore! When I was in grad school it was 12-14 h days w/ only occasional breaks. PB&J sandwhich in one hand, sep funnel in the other.

Tajuan Briggs
ESPN:
Briggs has also visited Cal, attending the Bears Junior Day back in February.
“I loved it at Cal,” Briggs said. “The best part for me was talking with the coaches because they didn’t try and recruit me or even talk much about football, it was all academics. That’s what’s really most important to me, anyone who comes at me and sees me just as a football player, that won’t score many points.
”The Cal coaches talked to me as a student first, football player second and I loved that. I got along great with the players, the atmosphere was a lot of fun because UCLA was playing Cal in hoops and ESPN Game Day was there. It was just a great time and Cal is very high on my list."

Briggs has been impressive running track so far this year with a 10.84-100m and a 22.1 time in the 200m.
“It’s funny, UCLA is recruiting me for track but not for football,” Briggs said. “That’s the school I grew up on but there’s a lot of great running backs this year so I understand if there’s other players they have higher on their list.”

Basketball
I’m hoping DeRozan will hire an agent:
Although USC’s DeMar DeRozan says he’s "still 50-50″ on hiring an agent, it’s worth noting that he interviewed four potential candidates last week.
It’d be nice to gut the SC BBall team further, leaving UCLA and Wash as the only P10 threats. The weaker the P10 is, the better. We’ll have a gaudy record that way. The league will have a weak label no matter what happens at this point, so might as well have it as weak as possible.
