Faithful readers of this blog will know that in late July it contained a report of a pension initiative that might have had traction.The reason was that the initiative's author had a track record in getting support for past propositions, including especially the recall of Governor Gray Davis.
That said, the initiative itself was a confusing amalgam of various ideas including creating a pension for private sector employers and workers that would mirror CalPERS.The author appeared to be fishing for some financial angel to provide support, after which some new version of the initiative would have been submitted.
Apparently, no fish was hooked.The Legislative Analyst’s Office – which is required to make a fiscal analysis of initiatives before they go into circulation - effectively says the whole thing is so confusing and raises so many legal problems that it (the LAO) is unable to provide any dollar estimates.With that kind of analysis tacked on to the initiative, it isn’t going anywhere.
The narration on the video below says that UCLA has a plan to convert from a "commuter campus" to a "residential campus." Hence, there must be a lot of new construction and demolition of old buildings.
In addition, there is a large building going up near the old hospital. The Daily Bruin recently carried an article discussing and illustrating the demolition and replacement of an engineering building:
Might the empire have enough to do with these various projects without demolishing the Faculty Center and replacing it with a 280-room hotel? Just asking.
Patti Smith and US string group Kronos Quartet have received the 2011 Polar Music Prize.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented both artists with their one million Swedish kronor (150752.25 USD) prize at the ceremony in Stockholm yesterday (August 30).
The Polar Prize, the highest award in Swedish music, is usually shared by a pop artist and a classical musician.
Official announcement of the Polar Music Prize 2011 - Patti Smith
Smith, generally considered the godmother of punk, thanked her fans and band members, said she was "humbled and inspired" to receive the prize. She also appealed for the audience to "turn their hearts, minds and resources" to the famine in Africa.
San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet incorporate avant-garde rock and elements of world music into their sound. Smith, meanwhile, describes her music - including the landmark album 'Horses' - as "three chord rock merged with the power of the word". Her best-known song is perhaps 'Because The Night', co-written by Bruce Springsteen.
The Polar Music Prize was founded by Stig Anderson, the manager of Swedish pop group ABBA, in 1989.
It is awarded to individuals, groups or institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements in the creation and advancement of music. Last year's prize was shared by Ennio Morricone and Bjork.
Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Stevie Wonder are among past winners.
Todays tune "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (A cover of Nirvana) is taken from the album "Twelve", released April 17, 2007. As the title suggests, the album contains twelve tracks, all of which are cover versions. The Tune also includes in Pattis latest release "Outside Society" that was released a few days ago, Aug 23 to be more precise.
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Patti Smith raises the curtain on "Outside Society", a new collection of her signature songs on the Arista and Columbia labels. The landmark 18-song release marks the first single-CD collection to span Patti's entire body of recorded work. The chronologically arranged tracks move from 1975 (her debut album, Horses, with "Gloria" and "Free Money") through 2007 (Twelve, with her cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"). Also released on vinyl as a double-LP set, "Outside Society" is available everywhere.
The music on "Outside Society" is newly remastered by award-winning engineer Greg Calbi and Patti Smith band member Tony Shanahan. The CD booklet will feature brief recollections of each song written by Patti, who personally supervised the choices.
Of "Because The Night," for example, Patti writes: "Bruce Springsteen gave me a great gift in allowing me to lend verses to his beautifully constructed anthem. My contribution was written for my future husband, Fred 'Sonic' Smith. Though we have performed it hundreds of times, the strong response it draws always makes it fresh and exciting to sing."
This evening she and her band will perform at Stockholms Konserthus, im sure it will be an fantastic evening. Doors at 19:30 in the Big Hall.
Patti Smith visits Ljusgården on Sept. 1 at. 12:30 to exclusively in Sweden sign hers acclaimed and award-winning autobiography, Just Kids, and her new compilation album Outside Society.
Just Kids is a vivid portrayal and a unique chronicle of New York's diverse cultural scene in the early '70s, with artists like Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol and Jimi Hendrix who all give their impressions of the story.
Patti Smith opens in a personal way up a window into her life as a young, struggling artist, and depicts a beautiful way of his friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe.
The book and the compilation album will be on sale in Ljusgården.
The Sacramento Bee has published an updated listing of state salaries including UC. You can find it at http://www.sacbee.com/statepay/ In the past, yours truly has corresponded with officials of newspapers who publish such lists asking them to publish their own payroll – by name/salary – down to the lowest paid worker. I won’t bother with such correspondence this time, although the danger of ID theft remains. However, if you feel motivated, here are the contacts of the two senior executives of the Bee:
Joyce Terhaar, Editor and Senior Vice President: 916-321-1004 jterhaar@sacbee.com
You might ask them - if they won't do their entire payroll - to publish at least their own personal salaries and those of the senior leadership of the parent company of the Bee, McClatchy. Surely, Bee readers would be interested and surely they have their own payroll information. You won’t get anywhere, of course. But it will give them a chance to put themselves in the company of John Peter Zenger, shown above, which is the usual response, so they shouldn't be too annoyed. (Google "Zenger" if the name is unfamiliar.)

An earlier blog post noted the controversy over the Milken gift to the UCLA Law School to set up an institute on business law and policy.
The controversy seems to have triggered a message from the Law School Dean now posted on the School’s website and a job description that is being circulated for the executive director of the new Institute.
Below is 1) the message from the dean on the controversy, 2) the job description in italics, and 3) the original announcement of the gift.
I am compelled to clear up mischaracterizations in a recent New York Times article about a $10 million gift from alumnus Lowell Milken to endow the Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy. The story inaccurately portrays the concerns of a few faculty members as an ongoing debate about whether it is appropriate to accept the gift.
In fact, the gift was the product of discussions that began in 2008, and there was broad consultation with members of the business law faculty.Until recently, all of them had expressed uniform and enthusiastic support for the creation of the Institute. In fact, only one faculty member, Lynn Stout, has expressed objections directly to me. Given that the Law School has approximately 70 ladder-rank faculty members, it is not surprising that a few may have a difference of opinion. I respect the right to dissent as an essential element of academic freedom, and indeed I would not have it any other way.However, I do not believe that the disagreement of a few should stand in the way of the flourishing of the many.
We thoroughly weighed all of the issues that Professor Stout has raised, and we came to a distinctly different and well-reasoned conclusion.In doing so, we applied fundamental principles of fairness that are foundational in American law.We looked at all facets of the record, we were careful to refrain from guilt by association, and we assumed that individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Lowell Milken’s life has been marked by accomplishment and service.He has been a brilliant student, an outstanding lawyer, a successful businessman, and a visionary philanthropist.A quarter of a century ago, Mr. Milken was accused of misconduct.However, he was never convicted of any crime, and indeed, there were neither admissions nor findings of any wrongdoing. I do not believe that decades-old, unproven allegations should serve as a basis for rejecting a gift from a person who has made enormous contributions to the betterment of others and now wishes to do even more.
After the public announcement of the gift, I received numerous notes of congratulation from faculty, alumni, and friends. There is good reason for their endorsement.This is a gift that will enhance our ability to prepare the next generation of leaders in the field of business law and policy as well as our capacity to promote cutting-edge research that responds to the pressing need to promote an entrepreneurial economy.This quest for excellence is entirely consistent with our traditions as a great public law school. I am proud of Mr. Milken’s transformative gift; his generous support will strengthen our curriculum, provide scholarships and prizes for students, enable us to expand our outreach in the community through conferences and publications, and support the work of our faculty.There is overwhelming support for the Milken gift in our community, and that support is based on nuanced evaluations that succumb neither to rank speculation nor a rush to judgment.
I also was troubled that the article included gratuitous attacks on Stewart Resnick, another alumnus, and his wife Lynda, both of whom are successful businesspeople and long-time and generous supporters of not just the law school but other units across campus. The article relied on unsubstantiated accusations to condemn a gift to support loan repayment assistance for students who choose to pursue a career in public interest law.
I am profoundly disappointed that the New York Times article created a misleading picture about the bona fides of our alumni and the integrity of our law school.

Original announcement:
UCLA School of Law Receives Transformative $10 Million Gift From Alumnus Lowell Milken
Contact: Lauri Gavel, gavel@law.ucla.edu, 310-206-2611
Gift of $10 million serves as capstone of UCLA School of Law's $100 million campaign
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 9, 2011 -- UCLA School of Law has received a transformative $10 million gift — the largest single gift in the school's history — enabling the law school to meet and exceed its ambitious $100 million fundraising goal well ahead of its original five-year schedule. The Campaign for UCLA School of Law was publicly launched in 2008 to increase private resources for student scholarships, to attract and retain faculty, and to support centers and institutes that inform law and public policy.
The $10 million gift from 2009 Public Service Alumnus of the Year Lowell Milken '73, a leading philanthropist and pioneer in education reform, establishes the Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy. The institute's creation is the culmination of a three-year process of exploration initiated by UCLA Law leadership with Milken to develop initiatives in business and law that will serve students, faculty and the greater community through innovative research, hands-on skills training and real-world problem-solving.
UCLA School of Law dean Rachel F. Moran noted that the Lowell Milken Institute will draw on the school's existing strengths in business law and policy, including its premier faculty and outstanding students, as well as its long tradition of interdisciplinary collaborations.
"In line with the goals of the Campaign for UCLA Law, Lowell's generosity will enable us to initiate a range of curricular innovations, further critical research and provide financial support for students, who will become our nation's future leaders in business law and policy," Moran said.
An expanded curriculum and enhanced training in real-world transactional skills will aid not only students but the broader legal and business communities, she added.
The gift serves as the capstone of the law school's record-breaking campaign which, in addition to the Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy, led to the creation of the David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy, the Emmett Center on Climate Change and the Environment, the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy (which had previously been a program), the Michael T. Masin Scholars Fund, and the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Endowed Fund in Support of Public Interest Law. The campaign also funded the school's A. Barry Cappello Courtroom, the Bruce H. Spector Conference Room and the Bernard A. and Lenore S. Greenberg Endowed Law Review Fellow Fund.
According to Moran, private philanthropy throughout the campaign more than doubled the number of endowed chairs at the law school, including four chairs endowed by longtime supporters Ralph '58 and Shirley Shapiro, and UCLA School of Law had the highest rate of growth in alumni giving of any top 20 law school, as participation rates soared to more than 30 percent. Key to this success was the Law Firm Challenge, which broke new records every year under the leadership of its founding chair James D. C. Barrall '75, as well as the recently created Reunion Challenge.
"As our record growth in giving demonstrates, our alumni have rallied together in unprecedented numbers under the leadership of Campaign chairman Ken Ziffren '65 and a team of dedicated volunteer leaders," Moran said. "They've demonstrated their commitment to UCLA School of Law's long-standing traditions of excellence, innovation, access and service. This critical campaign and the transformative gift from Lowell Milken show that our students, alumni and friends share the vision and values that define us as a great public law school, and their ongoing support will help us to overcome the often dour predictions prompted by the state and national budget crisis."
Private philanthropy is vital to preserving the long-standing tradition of serving the community and the greater good, a commitment integral to the mission of both the law school and the UCLA campus.
"This generous gift will deepen UCLA Law's already strong impact on the vibrant Los Angeles legal and business communities and help prepare students with the training they need to meet the challenges of today's global and entrepreneurial economy," said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block. "Through groundbreaking research, as well as symposia and conferences, the Lowell Milken Institute will facilitate the kind of sustained dialogue with policymakers and practitioners that is UCLA's hallmark as a public university."
Alumni and philanthropists increasingly are recognizing this imperative.
"At a time when our state's great universities are under significant financial pressure and constraints, it is incumbent upon those of us who benefited greatly from our educational experiences within the UC system to help support the outstanding work of these universities," said Milken, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from the University of California, Berkeley, where he received the School of Business Administration's Most Outstanding Student award. At UCLA School of Law, he earned his degree with the distinction of Order of the Coif and UCLA Law Review.
As chairman and co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation, Lowell Milken's dedication to education reform has been informed by more than three decades of education research, policy and practice, as well as firsthand visits to thousands of classrooms. Milken created the Milken Educator Awards in 1985, the nation's most prominent teacher-recognition program. In 1999, he founded TAP™: The System for Teacher and Student Advancement, a proven, comprehensive school reform now active in 13 states to attract, develop, motivate and retain the best talent for the American teaching profession. He also was instrumental in the establishment of High Tech Los Angeles, a public charter high school that engages students through self-directed learning, collaborative projects and real-world internships.
An international businessman, Milken is co-founder of Knowledge Universe, the world's largest early childhood education company. Headquartered in Singapore, Knowledge Universe operates worldwide with more than 38,000 employees. Milken is also chairman of London-based Heron International, a worldwide leader in property development.

Primal Scream are a Scottish alternative rock band originally formed in 1982 in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie (vocals) and Jim Beattie and now based in London.
Twenty years and six albums after release will now Primal Scream play the whole "Screamadelica" from beginning to end. In addition to an expanded lineup, which among other things, includes a brass section and percussionist, so directed the concert of the Turner Prize nominee Jim Lambie and initiated by the legendary DJ Andrew Weatherall (who, among other things remixed Bjork, Siouxsie Sioux, New Order and others). This evening they stand on the stage at Münchenbryggeriet here in Stockholm.
As well as the revived Screamadelica tour, the band re-released the album in a 20th Anniversary edition on 14 March, with the remastering done by Bobby Gillespie and frequent collaborator, Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine.
Screamadelica is a studio album and was their first to be a commercial success. It was released on 23 September 1991. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim, and is frequently acknowledged as one of the best albums of the 1990s. Screamadelica also won the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992.
The album was a massive departure from the band's early indie rock sound, drawing inspiration from the house music scene (and associated drugs) that was becoming popular at the time of its production. The band enlisted house DJs Andrew Weatherall and Terry Farley on producing duties, although the album also contained a wide range of other influences including gospel and dub.
The album's title track did not appear on the album itself; the ten minute dance track was also produced by Andrew Weatherall and sung by Denise Johnson. It appears on the Dixie Narco EP released in 1992, and is featured in the opening credits of the now rare Screamadelica VHS video tape.
The album cover for Screamadelica was painted by Creation Records' in-house artist Paul Cannell, who died in 2005. Screamadelica was among ten album covers chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010.
Todays tune "Movin' On Up" that opens up the album in C major and is similar in style to the Rolling Stones. The song features Bobby Gillespie's vocals in the verse section with a gospel chorus, accompanied throughout by acoustic guitar, electric guitar and percussion. The song borrows from the lyrics to Can's "Yoo Doo Right". The lyrics are similar to those of Amazing Grace. The single "Movin' on Up" was the band's breakthrough hit.

There is a bill pending in the legislature (passed the Assembly; now in the Senate) – applying to CalPERS, not UC – that would effectively ban pension “contribution holidays.”As is well known, UC had the mother of all contribution holidays to its pension fund, one lasting two decades.Had that holiday not occurred, we would not have the underfunding problem we have today.
Of course, given the circumstances under which the UC pension holiday developed – overfunding in the face of a state budget crisis at the time – it could be argued that the holiday was unavoidable.But as this blog and numerous other sources have since pointed out, contribution holidays are particularly risky for UC because contributions foregone come largely from non-state sources that are difficult to recoup retroactively.
The bill - as noted above - has no direct effect on UC but its passage could nonetheless be helpful to the university.Passage would highlight the point that the state is still on holiday when it comes to the UC pension.The ramping up of UC pension funding that should be coming from the state is instead coming out of Regents general money. The state refuses to pay or even to deposit an IOU into the pension fund. And non-state sources are having to make up for contributions they didn’t make in the past.
Yesterday was a festival, more specifically, Propaganda! A package crammed with music. At that stage I was working on, jostling bands like Those Dancing Days, Jenny Wilson, Säkert Midlake and Lykke Li. A very nice event, as usual, when this festival takes place. Going to do a little summary of the bands that played on the scene I was working on the mixing of images:)
First was the Stockholm band Danicing Those Days, these young ladies did a great performance with their danceable pop. Had some bad luck At the beginning when guitarist shoulderstrap released and was trying to play until rescue came and the gaffa rescued the rest of the gig. Drummer Cissi's probably one of the coolest drummers in the girl band I've ever seen, she pounded the skins as if it was the last thing she would do in life.
Then it was time for Jenny Wilson and her Tensta Gospel Choir to perform. It was actually quite impressive with the choirs. Swinging ok.
After that it was Annika Norlin and her Säkert's to get up on stage. She is a Swedish pop artist who makes music under the artist names Hello Saferide (in English) and Säkert! (in Swedish). Her Swedish songs get the audience to sing along.
A small view when Säkert's backline tech "Joel" trying to work during Jenny Wilson's gig. A bit difficult to see when so much smoke should pass the visual field.
A view of the audience and excited photographers.
American band Midlake was number four to enter the scene. That this is a band that certainly is best suited during a little more intimate relationships than the festival, it could be seen almost immediately, the band use only a fourth part of the stage, very compact, I must say, but they did an awesome gig, really beautiful with their folksih element mixed with easy country rock.
Lykke Li who was the evening's headliner on the main stage for a night of very smoky but spectacular show.
Todays tune "I Follow Rivers" is a song by Swedish recording artist Lykke Li from her second studio album, Wounded Rhymes. Produced by Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, it was released in Sweden on 21 January 2011 as the album's second single. The music video was directed by Tarik Saleh and features Li in a black robe and veil chasing a man (Fares Fares) through a snowy landscape.

Oh I was in the dark age searching for the ones in my mind. But I had hit the ground runnin. Steady as you go. I don't mind. I'm still here today. Spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes and forever talking when it aint so kind. But it feels like forever on the run. When your mind turns to fiction. I had took the long way. I was in the heat. I don't mind. I'm so far away. But it feels like forever on the run. Nudging the ghost from the skull. A night without sleep. Vibration comes first to the head and last to the feet. Spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes and forever talking when it aint so kind. But it feels like forever on the run. When your mind turns to fiction.
