A fter being inaugurated for his fourth term Jan. 5, California Governor Jerry Brown released the 2015-2016

state budget on Friday: the $133 billion bud-get is the largest ever for the state.

Higher education did not get what it ex-pected from the governor. The California State University system will get an increase of $119.5 million in 2015-2016 to its general fund but that increase is contingent on not raising tuition costs.

According to Gov. Brown, “This funding should obviate the need for CSU to increase student tuition and fees and can be used by the university to meet its most pressing needs.”

The CSU Board of Trustees requested $269 million from the state in November for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The $119.5 million is $156 million short of what many CSU of-ficials feel is vital for the system to improve.

“Despite the incremental increase in funding, the proposed amount of general

Hayward school celebrates MLK Jr.

onday, Jan. 19 at 4:30 pm, Chabot will hold a Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration in the Buff-ington Visual and Performing Arts Center.

The City of Hayward has held a celebration for Mar-tin Luther King’s birthday since 1986. With the sup-port of the community, schools, and local government the celebration has grown over the last 29 years.

The celebration continues to be a big hit in the com-munity. Volunteers, donations, fundraising, and fund-ing from Hayward Unified School District make the event possible each year.

“The event has grown in size. Two years ago only the lower half of the theater was filled. The year after that, the whole theater was packed,” said Zach Ebadi, City of Hayward Recreation and Park Coordinator.

This year, attendees can expect to see people from their own community perform a speaking at the event. CSUEB’s Iota Phi Theta fraternity will perform a step along with the 2014 Made in Hayward Step Off win-ners from Southgate Elementary School Ochoa Mid-dle School and Hayward High Schools.

Alongside the step teams, those in attendance will hear from Dr. Clayborne Carson, the direct of Stan-ford University’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Hayward’s Mayor Barbara Halliday.

“This event compliments the 50th anniversary of Civil Rights in America and is a visible testament to Hayward’s commitment to diversity and community awareness,” said Stan Dobbs Superintendent of Hay-ward Unified School District.

The first celebration was held in Hayward’s origi-nal Centennial Hall. After the hall was demolished in 2011. After the demolition the event moved to Chabot’s Buffington center.

“I believe that the King holiday should be treated not as just another day off but for what it is: a day of remembrance for a great man who continues to inspire us long after his death,” said Mayor Halliday, who looks forward to meeting the community for the first time as mayor.

The celebration welcomes people from all over the Bay area and is free admission.

Adam Mayberry sits at the checkout desk of his pop-up shop in downtown San

Jose, sporting his company’s “Fi-natic” tee.

The shirt design is a combina-tion of the term “fanatic” and San Jose’s hockey team mascot, the Sharks: the shirts blend in among crowds at a game at nearby SAP Center, but they stand out, if you are paying attention.

The Die Hards Co., owned and run Adam Mayberry and his brother Ben Mayberry, is a Bay Area sports apparel company that makes apparel and accessories for fans of the Sharks, Raiders, A’s, Warriors, Giants, 49ers, and Earthquakes, as an alternative to officially-licensed products from those teams.

The shirts blend in at games because they are as close to of-ficial colorways as possible, but also stand out because they carry a sense of individuality and youth to them. One shirt design uses the popular Bay Area slang term “Hella” with the “L’s” made out of baseball bats or hockey sticks.

The brothers were born and raised in San Jose. Before NHL hockey came to the Bay Area in 1991, they had the 49ers and Giants to cheer on. Growing up playing football and baseball like many Bay Area kids do, they fell in love with the professional teams

NFL lacks diversity in management

There is no question that the NFL has become America’s pas-

time when it comes to sports in the Unit-ed States. The four divisional playoff game dominated television over the weekend, claiming the most views of all programming on Saturday and Sunday.

However, I can’t help but notice that the number one sport in the coun-try lacks people of color in coaching and management positions.

Take the final four teams as an example. The Se-attle Seahawks, Green Bay Pack-ers, Indianapolis Colts, and New England Patriots all advanced to the division cham-pionship games this past weekend and will battle each other this week-end for a chance to play in Super Bowl XLIX. Each of the head coaches and gen-eral managers for these teams is white.

There are 32 teams in the NFL with four teams who currently have vacancies in their head coach-ing positions.

Of those 28 teams with head coaches, only five have head coach-es of color and only six have a gen-

eral manager of color. These statistics are staggering

when you consider the number of minority players in the league: Last season there were 2,841 players ac-

tive in the NFL, and 1,883 of those players were African-American. Yet only 19 percent of current head coaches and general managers are a race other than white.

It seems like teams trust black players to play for them, but not black coaches to coach or manage the organization. NFL team owners are even less diverse with only

one minority owner, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Shahid Khan.

In 2003 the NFL instituted the Rooney Rule, named after the own-er of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the

Chairman of its Diversity Commit-tee Dan Rooney the rule required teams to interview minority candi-dates for head coaching and upper level operations vacancies.

There are 96 coaching coordinator positions in

the NFL and in 2013 minorities filled only 14 of those sports. In a league where more than two thirds of the players are Af-rican-American only 18 percent of all of the coaches in the league are minorities.

It is clear to me that the Rooney Rule needs to be revisited and tinkered with. While I don’t think a team should be forced to hire a per-son of color for a coaching or m a n a g e m e n t position, some-thing must be done to ensure that all candi-dates are seri-ously considered and not just inter-viewed because of a rule.

The four teams that currently

have head coach-ing vacancies have only interviewed

one minority for that position between them

all and that seems to go directly against the essence of the rule.

The NFL needs to take a serious look at its hiring practices and open up more doors for players of color to coach and manage.

I n recent years, comic book heroes have seen many face changes as they have jumped into new forms of media. TV shows

and blockbuster movies have seen a complete reset in both Marvel and DC storylines. Many tweaks have been made to caped crusaders; but recently, a Hollywood company made a very strange choice in a casting decision re-garding the race of a golden age classic.

Writers of comics make a few changes re-garding race and gender. While some chang-es may have been controversial, the writers have proved that they can keep the essence of the their heroes despite a character overhaul.

Hollywood’s changes have been a hit or miss, specifically 20th Century Fox’s poorly adapted 2005 version of “The Fantastic Four.” Since their announcement of a new Johnny Storm being played by Michael B. Jordan, I fear their race change will doom the movie for a second time.

Granted, race hardly plays a role in the grand universe of comic books. In gener-al Spiderman has seen a few diverse face changes within the many Spiderman sto-rylines. This includes Latino Miguel O’Hara of “Spider-Man 2099”, and Black Hispanic Miles Morales of “Ultimate Comics: Spi-der-Man.” Women are also included in comic revamps with characters like Spider-Woman and Thor Girl.

These interesting changes are not exclusive to Marvel; even DC switched things up when it changed the race of the Green Lantern from white Hal Jordan to black Jon Stewart. Yet the writers who changed the characters still kept the heroes the same. The New Avengers still have Spiderman and Thor, and the Justice

League still has the Green Lantern. The Fantastic Four on the other

hand cannot function with a change of face they’ve shown through their sto-rylines.

When Johnny Storm died in the comics, Spider-man took up his position in the Fantastic Four as a final request to his old friend. However with-out Johnny,

the team renamed themselves Fu-ture Foundation.

They did not introduce a “new” Human Torch, there was no person to replace his title because their Sue Storm doesn’t have another brother.

Their relation-ship as siblings is what makes the Fantastic Four who they are, a family, a relationship

whose sur-face was not

scratched during that last movie. Just remember how important family was

to Pixar’s “The Incredibles.” That is what the Fantastic Four are supposed to represent, and I highly doubt that is going to be a theme this time around.

Twentieth Century Fox’s casting of Michael B. Jordan, as great of an actor as he was in “Chronicle,” begs the question if Jonny is just part of the trip, or if there is mixed race in the family. The latter of which keep the storyline of Fantastic Four true to its nature.

Their relationship is the most necessary el-ement to the series.

The Fantastic Four is not the greatest su-perhero team, the greatest fighting force, or even the greatest heroes in Marvel.

The change in race can risk another flop like “Avatar the Last Air Bender.” Some he-roes just don’t need a race change.

Can we have a white Black Panther or even a white Storm? Possibly but it would just be over doing it because of their origin stories. Nick Fury’s race change on the other hand was hardly an issue with such an ambiguous back-story.

I’m not saying changing races is a bad thing. The recent Spiderman did it with Electro and that wasn’t really an issue. I just don’t trust or believe 20th Century Fox did it to bring a mixed race sibling in. They did it for publicity.

Without the sibling relationship, they are not the Fantastic Four Marvel made, they are just a knock off that Hollywood is trying to milk for money.

They are the most iconic superhero family that saves the universe over and over again, and leaving that element is the worse mistake Fox made in their first attempt.

I hope they don’t miss again. Their best decision would be to give the rights back to Marvel and let the real comic writers handle their heroes.

Leave the character changes to Marvel3Opinion

Academic Access, Enhancement and Excellence, or A2E2 funding and re-sults of Planning for Distinction fos-

tered creation of vision for comprehensive student support services for veteran students at California State University, East Bay on the Hayward and Concord campuses.

Veteran Student Services is an on campus program that was established in July of 2014 with the goal of providing comprehensive stu-dent support services to veterans and ultimate-ly creating a veteran student center.

“Many veteran students are first generation college students, which makes their transition from military for university life more challeng-ing. A holistic approach to student support ser-vices received from qualified professionals is crucial for veteran students academic, career and personal success,” said Teresa Golebiews-ka, EXCEL Program Director.

Although not all veteran students use VA benefits, there are between 220 and 250 stu-dent veterans on campus.

VSS currently provides academic counsel-ing, benefits, processing, educational planning, graduate school advising, scholarship guid-ance academic workshops, time management tips, student veterans organizations faculty/staff vet friendly training, and campus events including welcome receptions, graduation cel-

ebrations, and Veteran’s Day celebrations. Peer mentorship program and Welcoming

Warriors Home will be offered beginning in the spring of this year.

“The veterans peer mentorship program is designed to assist incoming veteran students with their transition into the university by pro-viding peer support from fellow veterans,” said Cherie Randolph, Veterans Retention Coordi-nator of VSS.

The peer mentors are currently going through training.

After the training, the mentors will ideally be equipped to answer questions regarding campus resources, veteran’s benefits and/or advocate for veterans in and out of the class-room, as well as reach out to local community colleges to create a pipeline for incoming veter-ans, according to Randolph.

“The Welcome Warriors Home project is a

seven week workshop series that is designed on transitioning into civilian life, post-deploy-ment, building healthy relationships, acclimat-ing to the classroom, and functioning in soci-ety,” said Randolph.

VSS is currently involved with Veterans of Foreign War, Beta Mu Sigma Fraternity, Economic Opportunity Council, Concord Vet Center, Antioch Community Center, VA Work Study, and other community organizations.

Hace quinquenal anual Semana de Restaurantes de Oakland desde su creación, ha crecido de 30 vendedores

81. Durante los vendedores las próximas dos semanas diferentes restaurantes en Oakland servirán comidas especiales para participar en el Mes Del Restaurantes de California.

De Oakland Semana de Restaurantes comienza 15 de enero y va hasta el 25 de enero y los amantes de la comida y quieren disfrutar de una comida de tres platos que cpuedan co-star entre $ 20- $ 40.

Visita California, una agencia de turismo, designó el mes de enero como mes restau-rante oficial de California como una iniciativa de promoción para fomentar postvacacional viajes al estado. Desde el primer mes funcio-nario restaurante en enero de 2000, Oakland ha celebrado la semana del restaurante de su propia ciudad.

Visita Oakland, la agencia oficial de turis-mo en Oakland, ha sido anfitrión de la sema-na del restaurante desde el primer día. Visita Oakland encuentra diferente restaurantes a participar, y se ocupa de la comercialización para el evento.

Cada año ha crucido sustancialmente, en 2013 30 restaurantes participó, en 2014 partic-iparon 50 restaurantes y este año 81 restau-rantes participan en el evento.

No sólo el evento crecido durante el último par de años, el restaurante y la comida indu-stria de Oakland ha desarrollado de manera significativa.

Los sibaritas podrán disfrutar de una gran variedad de restaurantes, que van desde cami-ones gourmet taco, a restaurantes y tiendas delicadeza postre.

Restaurantes populares que se encuentran alrededor del área de la bahía como un 16 Rockridge han abierto su segundo local en Oakland debido a los precios de alquiler más bajos y la libertad creativa que se encuentra en la ciudad.

Frances Wong, Visita Oakland Community Relations Manager, los atributos de Oakland y viene escena de los alimentos para una var-iedad de razones de la clientela, con el medio ambiente y la economía.

“La escena de la comida está experimentan-do un renacimiento debido al ambiente creati-vo Oakland ofrece. Chef de venir aquí, ya que pueden experimentar con sus alimentos y los consumidores de aquí tienen un gusto eclécti-co en donde quieren comer “, dijo Wong.

No sólo Oakland proporciona una salida creativa para chefs y propietarios de restau-

rantes, pero también es una opción más barata que otras ciudades populares en la zona de la bahía. Según LoopNet, una agencia de bienes raíces comerciales, para alquilar un espacio en San Francisco puede costar entre $ 6.500 y hasta, donde en Oakland alquiler precios comienzan tan bajo como $ 2,500 al mes.

“Cuando llegué aquí, me atrevería a San Francisco oa Ghetto Gourmet [de Berkeley], para cenar con mi esposa”, dijo 22 años res-idente de Oakland, Shawn Villegas. “En los últimos seis o siete años, las cosas han cam-biado. Puedo caminar por la calle y encontrar fácilmente cinco y cincuenta y cinco puntos para satisfacer mi estómago “, dijo Villegas.

Con 81 parte de la semana del restaurante, puede ser difícil saber qué lugares para comer. Este año la visita de Oakland ha renovado la página web del restaurante semana. El nuevo sitio web, www.oaklandrestaurantweek.org, cuenta con un motor de búsqueda que rompe la búsqueda de un tipo de restaurante, barrio, y el tipo de comida.

“La página web es una manera fácil de

navegar en la que desea comer y cuando. Es una ventanilla única para todo el evento. Cuan-do estás en el sitio web se puede ver todos los menús y hacer las reservas directamente a través de la página “, dijo Wong.

Restaurantes participantes tienen un menú pre-fixe para diferente precios. Cada menú re-fleja un 25% de descuento sobre el precio orig-inal, de los platos.

“Los últimos años he sido capaz de ir a restaurantes que no habría sido capaz de pro-ducir de otra manera”, dijo Thien Vu, un resi-dente de Oakland que ha participado en la se-mana del restaurante en los últimos tres años. “Ha sido una gran manera para mí para en-contrar nuevos lugares para comer, así cuando tengo visita familiar sé exactamente donde po-demos agarrar un poco de gran cena”, dijo Vu.

Aunque muchos restaurantes no requieren reserva, Visita Oakland recomienda asegurar una mesa por si acaso, ya que están esperando un alto volumen de los consumidores de este año. Para hacer reservas en restaurantes van a, www.visitoakland.org/restaurant-week.

No hay duda de que la NFL se ha con-vertido en el pasatiempo de Estados Unidos cuando se trata de deportes.

Los cuatro partidos de playoffs divisionales dominaron las ondas el fin de semana y cali-ficados en los cuatro principales eventos tele-visivos vistos.

Pero no puedo dejar de notar que el deporte número uno en el país carece de la gente de color en posiciones de entrenamiento y de gestión.

Como ejemplo, tome la cuatro equipos fi-nalistas. Los Seattle Seahawks, los Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts y los New En-gland Patriots avanzaron a todos los juegos de campeonato de la división este fin de semana pasado y se enfrentarán entre sí este fin de semana para tener la oportunidad de jugar en el Super Bowl XLIX. Cada uno de los en-trenadores y gerentes generales de estos equi-pos son blancos.

Hay 32 equipos de la NFL con cuatro equi-pos que actualmente tienen vacantes en sus posiciones de entrenador en jefe. De los 28 equipos con entrenadores en jefe, sólo cinco tienen entrenadores en jefe de color y sólo seis tienen un gerente general del color.

Estas estadísticas son alarmantes si tene-mos en cuenta el número de jugadores de las minorías en la La temporada pasada hubo 2.841 jugadores activos en la NFL, y 1.883 de esos jugadores eran afroamericanos. Sin em-bargo, sólo el 19 por ciento de los entrenadores actuales y gerentes generales son una raza que no sea blanca.

Parece que los equipos confían en los ju-gadores negros de jugar para ellos, pero no para entrenar o gestionar la organización. Dueños de equipos de la NFL son aún menos diverso, con solamente un dueño minoritario, los Jacksonville Jaguars Shahid Khan.

En 2003, la NFL instituyó la Regla Rooney, el nombre del propietario de los Pittsburgh Steelers y el Presidente del Comité de Diver-sidad Dan Rooney, que requiere equipos para entrevistar a los candidatos minoritarios para entrenador en jefe y de nivel superior de opera-

ciones vacantes.Hay 96 puestos de coordinador de entre-

namiento de la NFL y en 2013 las minorías llenaron sólo 14 de esas posiciones. En una liga donde más de dos tercios de los jugadores son afro-americano que sólo el 18 por ciento de todos los entrenadores de la liga son minorías.

Es claro para mí que la Regla Rooney necesita ser revisado y vanamente con. Aun-que no creo que un equipo debe ser obligado a contratar a una persona de color para un puesto de entrenador o de gestión, algo que

Después de ser inaugurado el 5 de enero por su cuarto término, el Gobernador de California, Jerry Brown, desveló el

viernes el presupuesto del estado para el 2015-2016.

El presupuesto de $113 miles de millones es el más grande de la historia del estado, aun-que, la enseñanza superior no recibió lo que se esperaba del gobernador. El sistema de la Universidad del Estado de California recibirá un incremento de $119.5 millones en 2015-2016 para su fondo general, pero este incremento es contingente de no subir los costos de matrícu-la.

“Este financiamiento debe obviar la necesi-dad de la UEC para aumentar las matrículas y cuotas estudiantiles y puede ser utilizado por la Universidad para satisfacer sus necesi-dades más urgentes” dice el Gobernador Brown

El consejo directivo de la UEC solicitó en noviembre $269 millones al estado para el año fiscal de 2015-2016. Los $119.5 millones son $156 millones menos de lo que muchos oficia-les de la UEC creen ser vitales para mejorar el sistema.

“A pesar del aumento progresivo de la fi-nanciación, la cantidad propuesta para la asignación de fondos generales todavía no nos

permite satisfacer nuestras necesidades gene-rales,” dijo Mike Uhlenkamp, el Director de Relaciones Públicas de la UEC.

Incluido en el presupuesto de la UEC se asigna un único Premio a la Innovación por valor de $25 millones a las escuelas que im-plementen innovaciones que resulten en gra-dos completados en cuatro años al empezar la enseñanza superior.

El año pasado, la Universidad de California votó para aumentar un cinco por ciento el cos-to de la matrícula en los 10 campus.

Este incremento provocó que los estudi-antes protestaran y en caso de que fuera im-plementado el viernes descalificaría el pre-supuesto del sistema de la UC de los $119.5 millones adicionales asignados por el Gober-nador Brown al sistema de los diez campus.

El consejo directivo decidió utilizar el mét-odo de “esperar para ver que sucede” con la esperanza de que el estado cumpliera con la solicitud de los $213 millones del total de su presupuesto para el 2015-2016 que consta de $269 millones. Ahora que el Gobernador Brown declaró su presupuesto oficial, algunos estudiantes están preocupados de las conse-cuencias.

“A penas puedo costearme la escuela aho-ra, así que me sería difícil en el caso de que aumentaran la matrícula,” dijo un estudiante de Negocios.

“He visto lo que pasó en Cal [UC Berkley] y si tengo que protestar y dormir en el aula para mantener los costos bajos, lo haré.”

En este momento el consejo directivo de

la UEC no ha decidido aumentar la matrícu-la. Mientras que el nuevo presupuesto po-dría dar lugar a posibles incrementos en la matrícula, el Vice Rector Ejecutivo y Director de Finanzas de la UEC, Steve Relyea sigue siendo optimista.

“La propuesta de presupuesto del gober-nador afirma su compromiso para invertir en la UEC y reconoce el papel vital de la univer-

hay que hacer para asegurarse de que están seriamente en cuenta y no sólo entrevistados debido a una regla.

Die HardFrom Page 1of their region.

“Being a San Jose kid when hockey came in 1991, that was a big thing,” recalled Adam Mayberry. “We grew up watching games.”

Naturally, supporting their teams meant wearing fan gear. In 2010 they decided to make their own sports apparel. With Ben Mayberry’s background in graphic design, and Adam Mayberry’s architecture degree, they created The Die Hards Co.

“On the East Coast there were a lot of companies like ours, kind of doing boot-leg-style T-shirts for teams, said Adam Mayberry. “There was nobody around here that was doing it, and if they were, they might have a version that was like a 49ers colorway of their [own] shirt.”

Bootleg-style shirts are a term the brand uses to describe replicating a team’s colors

without using the official logo. “No one was really doing what we’re do-

ing now back in 2010 when we started the company,” said Adam.

Die Hards’ shirts replicate the colors of well-known Bay Area teams, but never ex-plicitly say the official name of the team. Their popular “Fin City” design, which uses the template of the Warriors’ famous “The City” logo, is often seen at Sharks games.

“As we’ve grown, and teams have won, more people have come out with these [boot-leg-style apparel],” said Adam Mayberry.

Growing a following with mostly younger, college-aged fans, four years into their exis-tence they applied for a grant with the city of San Jose.

The Creative Industries Incentive Fund granted the company $4,500 to move for-ward with their operations as a local small business in San Jose.

Following the award, they started a kickstarter campaign, where fans and sup-porters of the brand could donate different amounts of money towards the brand, and

then receive an apparel package based on the amount pledged.

The goal was to raise enough money that they could start manufacturing products ex-clusively in the Bay Area.

Their initial goal of $4,500 was met within a week, and has since doubled to over $9,000 over the past year.

The company, however, encountered set-backs in the manufacturing process follow-ing the campaign.

“We were giving false hope to our kick-starter backers, where we thought it would be this day, but something would happen and delay it a couple more weeks,” said Adam Mayberry.

“Originally we intended for it to be deliv-ered by June or July, and then we complete-ly changed our process and then we had to give that update that it would be out by the end of September. We didn’t really ship [kickstarter rewards] until Christmas.

Leaving some fans disappointed in a small business that they tried to support, the re-wards were eventually fulfilled in December.

All T-shirts made by The Die Hards Co. are cut, sewn, dyed, printed all within the Bay Area. T-shirts start at $35, which may deter some fans, but Adam Mayberry ex-plains that Bay Area production costs keep prices at their current level, compared to the average price of officially licensed products at $25 per shirt.

“To make our shirts before, it would cost us about $7.50 [per shirt], The cost now for us is probably $11 to $13, so it is almost twice as expensive for us to make our prod-uct now, so that’s why the $35 mark. That allows us to make a normal return and cover our labor costs,” said Adam Mayberry.

Because the Die Hards Co. does not use official logos of teams throughout the Bay Area, they are legally able to print and sell these shirts that relate to the team.

The Die Hards Co., using Adam May-berry’s architectural background, built a pop up “locker” shop next to the San Jose Repertory Theater in Downtown San Jose where their merchandise is sold until March in addition to online sales.

Oakland hosts annual restaurant week

BudgetFrom Page 1

disqualify the UC system from the addition-al $119.5 million allocated to the ten campus system by Gov. Brown in the budget on Fri-day.

The CSU Board of Trustees chose to take a “wait and see” approach hopeful that the state would meet the $213 million requested in their total $269 million 2015-2016 budget. Now that Gov. Brown made his budget offi-cial some students are worried about the po-tential aftermath.

“I can barely afford school now so it would be tough on me if they raise tuition,” busi-ness major Edwin Dargen said. “I saw what

happened at Cal [UC Berkeley] and if I have to protest and sleep in a classroom to keep costs down, I will.”

At this time the CSU Board of Trustees has not decided to increase tuition. While the new budget could lead to potential tui-tion hikes, CSU Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer, Steve Relyea re-mains optimistic.

“The governor’s budget proposal affirms his commitment to invest in the CSU and acknowledges the university’s vital role as a leading economic driver in the state and na-tion, providing quality degree programs that support the success and social mobility of the university’s highly diverse student popu-lation,” said Relyea.

Gov. Brown’s revised budget will be avail-able mid-May and the enacted budget will be available in the summer.

California Governor Jerry Brown discusses the 2015 state budget on Friday in Sacramento.

Since it’s creation five years ago, Oak-land’s annual Restaurant Week has grown from 30 vendors to 81. Over the

next two weeks different restaurants in Oak-land will serve specialty meals to participate in California’s annual Restaurant Month.

Oakland’s Restaurant Week begins Jan. 15 and goes through Jan. 25. Those who love food can enjoy a three to five course meal that costs between $20-$40.

Visit California, a tourism agency, designat-ed the month of January as California’s official restaurant month as a promotional initiative to encourage post-holiday travel to the state.

Each year Restaurant Week has grown substantially. In 2013, 30 restaurants partic-ipated; in 2014, 50 restaurants participated and this year 81 restaurants are involved with the event.

Not only has the event grown, but Oak-land’s restaurant and food industry has de-veloped significantly. Foodies can enjoy a variety of restaurants, ranging from gourmet taco trucks, to fine dining, and even dessert delicacy shops.

Popular restaurants that are found around the Bay Area like A 16 Rockridge have opened their second location in Oakland because of the lower rent prices and the creative freedom found in the city.

Frances Wong, Visit Oakland Community Relations Manager, attributes Oakland’s up and coming food scene to a variety of reasons from the clientele, to the environment and the current economy.

“The food scene is experiencing a renais-sance because of the creative environment Oakland provides. Chef’s come here because they can experiment with their food and the

consumers here have an eclectic taste in where they want to dine,” said Wong.

Not only does Oakland provide a creative outlet for chefs and restaurant owners. It’s also a cheaper option than other popular cit-ies in the Bay Area. According to Loopnet, a commercial real estate agency, to rent space in San Francisco it can cost anywhere from $6,500 and up, where in Oakland rent prices start as low as $2,500 a month.

“When I first moved here, I would venture out to San Francisco or to [Berkeley’s] Gour-met Ghetto, to dine with my wife,” said 22-year Oakland resident, Shawn Villegas. “With-in the last six to seven years, things have changed. I can walk down the street and easily

find five to six spots to satisfy my stomach,” said Villegas.

With 81 businesses part of restaurant week, it can be difficult to find out what places to eat at. This year Visit Oakland has revamped the Restaurant Week website.

The new website, www.oaklandrestau-rantweek.org, features a search engine that breaks up the search from restaurant type, neighborhood, and meal type.

“The website is an easy way to navigate where you want to eat and when. It’s a one-stop-shop for the entire event. When you’re on the website you can see all the menus and make reservations directly through the page,” said Wong.

Restaurants participating have a pre-fixe menu for a different cost. Each menu reflects a 25 percent discount on the original plate price.

“The last few years I have been able to go to restaurants I wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise,” said Thien Vu, an Oakland resi-dent who has participated in restaurant week for the last three years.

“It’s been great way for me to find new plac-es to eat, that way when I have family visit I know exactly where we can grab some great dinner,” said Vu.

Although many restaurants do not require reservation, Visit Oakland recommends se-curing a table just in case due to an expecta-tion of a high volume of consumers this year.

Women’s basketball lose two games at home

T he Cal State East Bay women’s bas-ketball team lost two home games in a row on Friday and Saturday at Pioneer

Gymnasium in Hayward. The Pioneers fell to Cal State Dominguez

Hills on Friday 69-55 and again to Cal State Los Angeles 71-63 on Saturday. CSUEB is now 9-5 overall and 4-4 in California Collegiate Athletic Association games this season.

The CSUDH Toros continued their impres-sive season as they controlled the game on Friday and improved to 12-4 overall and 7-1 in CCAA conference games.

The Toros made more than half of their shots in the first half and took a huge 19-point advantage into halftime. Senior guard Talia Rayford led the way for CSUDH in the first half as she compiled a game-high 14 points in the half. Rayford finished with 20 points, 11 re-bounds, and five assists.

“Talia provided great energy, leadership, defense, rebounding, scoring, you name it, she did it and had an outstanding game,” CSUDH Head Coach Molly Goodenbour said.

The Pioneers played the Toros better in the second half and outscored CSUDH 32-27 but the lead was too much for CSUEB to over-come in the half.

“They played very well and we didn’t re-motely keep them off the glass,” CSUEB Head Coach Suzy Barcomb said. “We can’t give a team that many offensive boards and second chance points.”

Senior guard Stephanie Lopez led the way for the Pioneers as she amassed 14 points, four rebounds, and four assists in just 31 min-utes on the floor. Junior forward Tori Breshers tallied eight points, four rebounds, and four blocks in the losing effort.

Saturday brought a new opponent and an-other chance for CSUEB to capture a confer-ence victory. However, CSULA (5-7 overall, 4-4 conference) proved to be too much for the

Pioneer men split conference home games

T he Cal State East Bay men’s basketball team went 1-1 in their recent

home stand over the weekend at Pio-neer Gymnasium in Hayward.

The Pioneers (4-10 overall, 2-6 conference) defeated Cal State Dominguez Hills (4-10), 55-53 when senior guard Jacari Whitfield hit a game-winning runner in the lane with seven seconds left in the game.

“Jacari is a great free throw shooter and he is proven to make shots down the stretch so I felt very


comfortable with him taking the last shot,” CSUEB Head Coach Gus Argenal said. “He received a ball screen and made a great read on the defense creating space and making a tough game winning floater.”

Toro’s freshman guard Josh Brown tied the game at 53-53 when he nailed a breakaway layup with just 29 seconds left in the game be-fore CSUEB’s game-winning pos-session with seven seconds left.

“Josh played big on both sides of the court and Mike Hill also gave us a spark off the bench with his effort and intensity,” CSUDH Inter-im Head Coach Steve Becker said. “But East Bay and head coach Gus Argenal deserve all the credit as

Pioneers to handle and left Hayward with a 71-63 road triumph.

Despite a game-high 24 points and five assists from Lopez the Pioneers still found themselves down at the half 32-28. CSUEB managed to stay close the entire game but 20 Pioneer turnovers and 22 made free throws by the Golden Eagles led to the 8-point confer-ence loss for CSUEB.

Senior guard Aiwekhoe Okungbowa led the way for CSULA as she piled up 15 points and ten rebounds. Okungbowa was perfect from the charity stripe as she made all nine of her attempts from the line.

“Our 20 turnovers put us in a challenging spot,” Barcomb said. “Cal State L.A. took ad-vantage of every single turnover tonight.”

The Pioneers will have to take their act on

the road when they travel to Arcata to take on Humboldt State at 5:30 p.m. today. The Jacks are off to a near perfect start this season with a 12-1 overall record and a perfect 8-0 in CCAA conference games.

Saturday CSUEB will travel to Southern California to take on Cal State San Bernardi-no (9-3 overall, 5-3 conference) at 5:30 p.m. at Coussoulis Arena.

they competed and closed when they needed to.”

Freshman forward Patrick Marr led the way for CSUEB nabbing 12 points in 26 minutes on the floor.

Senior guard Cody Kale scored ten points in 23 minutes and junior forward Jack Pasquini tallied nine points and eight rebounds in 21 min-utes on the floor.

Cal State Los Angeles came to Hayward on Saturday and spoiled the second game of the home stand as they dominated the Pioneers and won by a final of 62-50.

The Golden Eagles controlled most of the game and took a ten-point advantage into the half. CSU-LA shot 44 percent from the field in

the first half and held the Pioneers to a dismal 30 percent from the field.

“We were taken out of our offen-sive sets and execution because of their defensive pressure and tough-ness,” Argenal said. “We need to do a better job of playing in an opera-tional area which will allow us to get higher percentage shots each time down the floor.”

CSUEB played better in the sec-ond half but they were still outscored by CSULA 30-28.

The Golden Eagles shot 53 per-cent from the field in the second half and still secured the victory accu-mulating 20 turnovers.

Pasquini scored 14 points and junior guard Juawnn Springfield

scored 12 points and pulled three boards in the loss.

Next for the Pioneers is a two-game road trip with the first stop in Arcata today against Humboldt State (9-5, 3-5) at 7:30 p.m.

“Heading up to HSU (Humboldt State) is always one of the toughest road trips because of the travel and distance but as a player it does not get better in terms of a basketball environment on the road,” Argenal said.

“I am looking forward to the trip and for the challenge.”

CSUEB will then travel to San Bernardino to take on Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes (4-7, 4-4) at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
