(Charla Bear/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While fewer California students borrow money for school than the national average, many do take out the maximum in subsidized loans. For them, the rate increase could translate to $4,000 more debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To UC Berkeley student Briana Mullen, almost nothing sounds scarier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up in a household where we were often strapped for cash and I saw the effect of struggling for money,” she says. “And I saw the fights that would occur since I was 10 years old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her sophomore year in high school, things got worse. During the recession, she says both of her parents lost their jobs, right after they'd bought a house in Concord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then because of the housing bubble we were forced to foreclose on that home,” she says. “And so it was kind of the perfect storm of bad circumstances that hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mullen says the only way for her to go to college was to rely on federally subsidized loans with low interest rates. Now, she’s facing a doubling of those interest rates – from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent -- on everything she borrows between now and graduation in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a helpless feeling in the fact that I’ve tried to control as many circumstances as possible - my own financial stability, how I go to school, then to have these external things affect it,” she says. “It’s frustrating and it makes me unsure of the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c!--more-->The Politics of Interest Rates\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lauren Asher, president of the Institute for College Access and Success in Oakland, says it makes no sense to let subsidized loan rates double when interest rates in the economy are still very low and students are facing a tough time in the job market. She says it will only contribute to the growing problem of student debt that’s already surpassed $1 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 1993, less than half of all four-year college students graduated with loans,\" Asher said. \"Right now it’s at least two-thirds, and what they’re borrowing is far greater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Asher says, is that Congress has historically set interest rates for student loans somewhat arbitrarily. When Republicans wanted to reduce the deficit in 2006, rates went up. When Democrats took control of Congress the following year, they passed California Rep. George Miller's bill that stepped rates down over five years. That bill expired last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe the thought was that they would’ve passed a more permanent solution in those five years of stepping down, but they failed to do that,” says Rachelle Feldman, director of financial aid at UC Berkeley. “Last year they managed to get together -- with all the pressure from student groups being very key and the election cycle being key -- and pass a one-year extension of the 3.4 percent interest rates. This year, that issue has gotten sort of lost in other federal issues before Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Schools Ramp Up Loan Education\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a response to the overall trends in student debt, Feldman says financial aid offices like hers are developing new tools to help students borrow smarter. The government only requires counseling for their first loans and after their last, nothing in between.

During the recession, she says both of her parents lost their jobs, right after they'd bought a house in Concord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then because of the housing bubble we were forced to foreclose on that home,” she says. “And so it was kind of the perfect storm of bad circumstances that hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mullen says the only way for her to go to college was to rely on federally subsidized loans with low interest rates. Now, she’s facing a doubling of those interest rates – from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent -- on everything she borrows between now and graduation in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a helpless feeling in the fact that I’ve tried to control as many circumstances as possible - my own financial stability, how I go to school, then to have these external things affect it,” she says. “It’s frustrating and it makes me unsure of the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c!--more-->The Politics of Interest Rates\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lauren Asher, president of the Institute for College Access and Success in Oakland, says it makes no sense to let subsidized loan rates double when interest rates in the economy are still very low and students are facing a tough time in the job market. She says it will only contribute to the growing problem of student debt that’s already surpassed $1 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 1993, less than half of all four-year college students graduated with loans,\" Asher said. \"Right now it’s at least two-thirds, and what they’re borrowing is far greater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, Asher says, is that Congress has historically set interest rates for student loans somewhat arbitrarily. When Republicans wanted to reduce the deficit in 2006, rates went up. When Democrats took control of Congress the following year, they passed California Rep. George Miller's bill that stepped rates down over five years. That bill expired last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe the thought was that they would’ve passed a more permanent solution in those five years of stepping down, but they failed to do that,” says Rachelle Feldman, director of financial aid at UC Berkeley. “Last year they managed to get together -- with all the pressure from student groups being very key and the election cycle being key -- and pass a one-year extension of the 3.4 percent interest rates. This year, that issue has gotten sort of lost in other federal issues before Congress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Schools Ramp Up Loan Education\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a response to the overall trends in student debt, Feldman says financial aid offices like hers are developing new tools to help students borrow smarter. The government only requires counseling for their first loans and after their last, nothing in between. So schools have started stepping up efforts to bridge the gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley students borrowing more than the average are now required to meet in person with financial aid officers and go over budgets and do estimates of the final cost of repaying their loans.

Ask some researchers at UC Berkeley, who have identified an area of the brain that makes it possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look at the numbers alone and hitting a home run seems next to impossible. A fastball takes .4 seconds to reach home plate after it leaves a pitcher’s hand, but a hitter needs a full .25 seconds to see the ball and react.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Light hits our eye and the information needs to get to our brain,” said researcher Gerrit Maus of UC Berkeley. “That takes a tenth of a second. After that we make a decision to move, and that signal needs to get to our muscles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maus said it’s an example of a fundamental problem: “Everything our brain receives is actually already out of date by the time the information gets to the brain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily, the brain compensates for that lag time. Based on the movement of the object and the background behind it, the brain makes a projection of where the object will be. In a \u003ca href=\"http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2013/05/08/motion-vision/\">scientific paper released today\u003c/a>, Maus and colleagues identified an area of visual cortex where that happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->“If we didn’t have the prediction mechanism going on, then you would see the ball possibly 3 or 4 yards behind where it actually is,” Maus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not only important for baseball or tennis, but also in everyday life. For example, when we’re driving, we would always think we’re not as far down the road as we actually are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we might think we’re seeing the world as it really is, Maus said what we’re actually seeing is just a calculation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really the fundamental question of what we perceive,” he said. “We don’t see what’s coming in through the eye, but we see a story that the brain makes up for us to be able to interact with the world. It’s a very sophisticated system, but it doesn’t always show us everything as it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ultimate goal of the work is to broaden our understanding of how the visual system functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For one thing, we’re trying to build artificial systems that see like a human does,” Maus said. “Ever since engineers have tried this, they’ve understood it’s a really hard problem. The other application would be basic medicine – we need to know how something works before we fix it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

A fastball takes .4 seconds to reach home plate after it leaves a pitcher’s hand, but a hitter needs a full .25 seconds to see the ball and react. “Light hits our eye and the information needs to get to our brain,” said researcher Gerrit Maus of UC Berkeley. “That takes a tenth of a second.",

The tracker maps bike crashes that occurred between 2005 and 2010.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that five-year period, there were 819 bike crashes in Berkeley, the fourth-highest count of any Bay Area city. There were five or more collisions at nine intersections in the downtown area, including one near where Bentin died, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/data/bike-accidents/?date_from=20050101&date_to=20091231&county=5\">according to the data\u003c/a>. Drivers making improper turns and cyclists riding too fast were among the most frequently cited causes of those crashes, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley, the 11th-largest city in the region, has one of the highest bike commuter rates in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About 8 percent of Berkeley residents commute by bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the city has taken steps to make commuting by bike safer, including establishing \"bicycle boulevards,\" designated side streets with less traffic and more room for cyclists. But bike advocates say the city needs to do more, especially near campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal is bike central in the East Bay,” said Dave Campbell, program director for the East Bay Bicycle Coalition. “In the downtown area, we’re always going to have a lot of people, a lot of cars and a lot of conflicts. So when you have that, you have to reduce the speeds to 20 miles or less, or what we call ‘human speeds.’ ” Currently, the speed limit in downtown Berkeley is 25 mph. Campbell said the bike coalition wants to see a two-way bike lane built around the perimeter of campus so that cyclists wouldn’t have to mix with car traffic as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell also suggested that the city could slow traffic and prevent bike crashes by replacing traffic lights at some downtown intersections with stop signs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Perhaps more of a European concept that streets are places rather than a means of moving people,” Campbell said. “The function of moving traffic should be a lower priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farid Javandel, the city of Berkeley's transportation division manager, said replacing traffic lights with stop signs isn’t feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the volume of traffic on Shattuck, you would have a crazy traffic backup,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city rejected a two-way bike lane for the north side of campus because there wasn’t enough room for the lane as well as pedestrians and bus stops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Javandel said the city soon will add flashing lights to intersections where bicycle boulevards cross major thoroughfares, such as Virginia Street and Shattuck Avenue, to signal that a cyclist is approaching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is also considering installing a left-turn box for bicyclists at the intersection of Oxford Street and Hearst Avenue, according to Javandel. Such a box would allow cyclists to pull in front of cars at a stoplight in order to make a left-hand turn more safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyclists say it’s not just road design, but also road conditions that bother them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city officials and cycling advocates say that without knowing exactly what caused Bentin’s crash, they don't know what changes could have prevented it. For now, a “ghost bike,” painted white, marks the spot where he died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

The tracker maps bike crashes that occurred between 2005 and 2010.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that five-year period, there were 819 bike crashes in Berkeley, the fourth-highest count of any Bay Area city. There were five or more collisions at nine intersections in the downtown area, including one near where Bentin died, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/data/bike-accidents/?date_from=20050101&date_to=20091231&county=5\">according to the data\u003c/a>. Drivers making improper turns and cyclists riding too fast were among the most frequently cited causes of those crashes, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley, the 11th-largest city in the region, has one of the highest bike commuter rates in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. About 8 percent of Berkeley residents commute by bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, the city has taken steps to make commuting by bike safer, including establishing \"bicycle boulevards,\" designated side streets with less traffic and more room for cyclists. But bike advocates say the city needs to do more, especially near campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal is bike central in the East Bay,” said Dave Campbell, program director for the East Bay Bicycle Coalition. “In the downtown area, we’re always going to have a lot of people, a lot of cars and a lot of conflicts. So when you have that, you have to reduce the speeds to 20 miles or less, or what we call ‘human speeds.’ ” Currently, the speed limit in downtown Berkeley is 25 mph. Campbell said the bike coalition wants to see a two-way bike lane built around the perimeter of campus so that cyclists wouldn’t have to mix with car traffic as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell also suggested that the city could slow traffic and prevent bike crashes by replacing traffic lights at some downtown intersections with stop signs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Perhaps more of a European concept that streets are places rather than a means of moving people,” Campbell said. “The function of moving traffic should be a lower priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farid Javandel, the city of Berkeley's transportation division manager, said replacing traffic lights with stop signs isn’t feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the volume of traffic on Shattuck, you would have a crazy traffic backup,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city rejected a two-way bike lane for the north side of campus because there wasn’t enough room for the lane as well as pedestrians and bus stops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Javandel said the city soon will add flashing lights to intersections where bicycle boulevards cross major thoroughfares, such as Virginia Street and Shattuck Avenue, to signal that a cyclist is approaching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is also considering installing a left-turn box for bicyclists at the intersection of Oxford Street and Hearst Avenue, according to Javandel. Such a box would allow cyclists to pull in front of cars at a stoplight in order to make a left-hand turn more safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cyclists say it’s not just road design, but also road conditions that bother them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But city officials and cycling advocates say that without knowing exactly what caused Bentin’s crash, they don't know what changes could have prevented it. For now, a “ghost bike,” painted white, marks the spot where he died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
