The fact someone high in the law enforcement community has said this is significant and I applaud it because it is long overdue. And I think it's a necessary first step to them trying to change these relationships.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But others were less impressed. \"[Cunningham] fails to acknowledge the deplorable behavior of some modern-day police officers who are allowed to go from police agency to police agency after having been cited for misconduct within one or more departments,\" Delores Jones-Brown, a professor at the John Jay College Center on Race, Crime and Justice, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-police-chiefs-apology-20161017-snap-story.html\">told the Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>. \"There are bigoted cops today, as there were when it was legal to be a bigoted cop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apology comes less than a week after U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/10/13/497850361/justice-department-will-track-police-killings-and-use-of-force\">announced that the Department of Justice plans\u003c/a> to collect data on killings by police and use of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2016 NPR.

This isn't just semantics — yes, voter fraud is a bad thing. However, calling an election \"rigged\" implies a systematic, coordinated effort to cause one candidate to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more point here is that voter ID laws are the weapon of choice, particularly for politicians on the right, for fighting voter fraud. However, there's evidence that voter ID laws — which are put in place to fight voter fraud — end up swinging elections themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>5 (and 6 and 7 and 8 ...). Read Chris Ashby's latest post\u003c/strong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'd be entirely remiss if we didn't point to Ashby's \u003ca href=\"https://extranewsfeed.com/the-election-is-not-rigged-23917d9b0534#.ii0k4de5k\">excellent Medium post\u003c/a> spelling out a few more reasons to be skeptical of \"rigging\" allegations. For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- elections are held in public places and staffed by private citizens;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- party officials and lawyers are at the ready to challenge if needed;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- voting machines have systems in place to prevent fraud — for example, they are \"equipped with multiple interconnected counters that make it impossible to add or remove votes secretly\" (sorry, Olivia Pope); and ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- representatives of both candidates \u003cem>and \u003c/em>parties observe vote-counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if someone tells you the election is rigged, it's just not true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2016 NPR.

But even then, they could easily miss some cases of fraud, because fraud via absentee ballots is \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/13/the-disconnect-between-voter-id-laws-and-voter-fraud/\">\"unfortunately quite real,\"\u003c/a> as Levitt told \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em> in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, as election lawyer Chris Ashby pointed out on CNN Monday afternoon (after an \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ashbylaw/status/787352959633981440\">epic tweetstorm \u003c/a>over the weekend), individual instances of voter fraud aren't exactly \"rigging\" anyway. This isn't just semantics — yes, voter fraud is a bad thing. However, calling an election \"rigged\" implies a systematic, coordinated effort to cause one candidate to win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more point here is that voter ID laws are the weapon of choice, particularly for politicians on the right, for fighting voter fraud. However, there's evidence that voter ID laws — which are put in place to fight voter fraud — end up swinging elections themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cstrong>5 (and 6 and 7 and 8 ...). Read Chris Ashby's latest post\u003c/strong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'd be entirely remiss if we didn't point to Ashby's \u003ca href=\"https://extranewsfeed.com/the-election-is-not-rigged-23917d9b0534#.ii0k4de5k\">excellent Medium post\u003c/a> spelling out a few more reasons to be skeptical of \"rigging\" allegations. For example:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- elections are held in public places and staffed by private citizens;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- party officials and lawyers are at the ready to challenge if needed;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- voting machines have systems in place to prevent fraud — for example, they are \"equipped with multiple interconnected counters that make it impossible to add or remove votes secretly\" (sorry, Olivia Pope); and ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-- representatives of both candidates \u003cem>and \u003c/em>parties observe vote-counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco has made headlines as a hub for technology — giants like Facebook, Apple and Google are headquartered nearby, as are a plethora of tech startups. At the same time, residents complain that those same tech companies are part of the cause of the city's \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/02/sfs-tech-bus-problem-isnt-about-buses-its-about-housing/\">astronomical cost of living\u003c/a> — and in turn contributing to the city's big homeless problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness in the city is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/03/484516166/san-francisco-media-outlets-unite-to-help-end-the-citys-homelessness\">well reported\u003c/a> — the San Francisco Chronicle even ran a \u003ca href=\"http://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/civic-disgrace/\">front-page editorial\u003c/a> earlier this year calling the \"level and pervasiveness of homelessness in San Francisco\" a \"civic disgrace.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measuring the number of homeless people in San Francisco is hard. One estimate gathered by a group of volunteers over one night counted 6,686 adults. The city's \u003ca href=\"http://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/56163-061316%20Homeless%20Services%20in%20SF_Bud%26LegAnalyst.pdf\">Department of Public Health\u003c/a> counts homeless people using city services over a year and counted 9,975.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco doesn't lead the country in per capita homelessness. But the reason San Francisco's homeless problem is much more visible than in other large cities is because the city has more per capita unsheltered homeless people: \"511 people on the streets for every 100,000 residents,\" as noted by \u003ca href=\"http://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/numbers/\">the Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, someone in San Francisco had an idea to use technology to help alleviate one of the symptoms of homelessness: falling out of touch with one's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the mission of \u003ca href=\"http://www.miraclemessages.org/\">Miracle Messages\u003c/a>, an organization started by Kevin Adler in 2014. Volunteers record video messages from homeless people to their loved ones, who they have often not seen for many years. The organization then uses social media to publicize the videos in hope of contacting that person's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glXZS-LDVHE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dave Adams lived on the streets in San Francisco for 20 years. He tells NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that he lost touch with his family and couldn't figure out how to make contact. \"I ain't computer smart,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That changed after he recorded a video message with a Miracle Messages volunteer. Adams learned he had a half-sister named Dorothy, who had been looking for him for years. Adams says she started crying the first time he called her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's one of the success stories for founder and CEO Adler, who says messages are positively received in about 90 percent of the cases where they reach the family.

At the same time, residents complain that those same tech companies are part of the cause of the city's \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/02/sfs-tech-bus-problem-isnt-about-buses-its-about-housing/\">astronomical cost of living\u003c/a> — and in turn contributing to the city's big homeless problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness in the city is \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/03/484516166/san-francisco-media-outlets-unite-to-help-end-the-citys-homelessness\">well reported\u003c/a> — the San Francisco Chronicle even ran a \u003ca href=\"http://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/civic-disgrace/\">front-page editorial\u003c/a> earlier this year calling the \"level and pervasiveness of homelessness in San Francisco\" a \"civic disgrace.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measuring the number of homeless people in San Francisco is hard. One estimate gathered by a group of volunteers over one night counted 6,686 adults. The city's \u003ca href=\"http://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/56163-061316%20Homeless%20Services%20in%20SF_Bud%26LegAnalyst.pdf\">Department of Public Health\u003c/a> counts homeless people using city services over a year and counted 9,975.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco doesn't lead the country in per capita homelessness. But the reason San Francisco's homeless problem is much more visible than in other large cities is because the city has more per capita unsheltered homeless people: \"511 people on the streets for every 100,000 residents,\" as noted by \u003ca href=\"http://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/numbers/\">the Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Naturally, someone in San Francisco had an idea to use technology to help alleviate one of the symptoms of homelessness: falling out of touch with one's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>When doctors want to help untangle confusing and sometimes contradictory findings in the scientific literature, they often turn to specially crafted summary studies. These are considered the gold standard for evidence. But one of the leading advocates for this practice is now raising alarm about them, because they are increasingly being tainted by commercial interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many years, these studies — called meta-analyses and systematic reviews — seemed to solve a big problem. Doctors who had once relied on each other's expert opinions to select the best treatments gradually turned to careful scientific studies instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the number of studies mushroomed and often came to different conclusions. So in the 1990s, doctors and medical advisory committees started relying on studies that combined results from many different research projects to streamline the search for answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kinds of studies are \"extremely important,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/john-ioannidis\">Dr. John Ioannidis\u003c/a>, a professor of medicine health research and policy at Stanford University. He has conducted many of these types of studies over the course of his career. \"They're trying to make some sense out of a very convoluted scientific and medical literature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ioannidis says unfortunately things have gotten out of hand. First, \"the problem is that there are just too many meta-analyses,\" Ioannidis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.milbank.org/wp-content/files/documents/The_Mass_Production_of_Redundant_Misleading_and_Conflicted_Systematic_Reviews_and_Meta-Analyses.pdf\">recent study on the subject\u003c/a>, titled \"The Mass Production of Redundant, Misleading, and Conflicted Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses,\" he chose as an example studies involving antidepressant drugs. \"There are 185 of them published in the literature within seven years, which means about 25 of them published every year for the very same drugs and the very same indication, major depression,\" Ioannidis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's worse, they're increasingly being generated by scientists who have financial interests in the outcome, Ioannidis \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26399904\">found\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"About 80 percent of them have been funded or have some other conflicts of interest with manufacturers of these drugs,\" he says. \"If you look at what their conclusions are, those that have been authored by industry employees, practically all of them, with one exception, have claimed that there are no caveats about antidepressants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to read deep into the studies to find warnings about potential suicide risks, for example — if downsides are mentioned at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's potentially misleading to doctors who turn to this kind of analysis to get a quick take on what works and what doesn't. Ioannidis says the drug industry has started using meta-analysis for commercial purposes, rather than as a disinterested look at the evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They can get the results or at least the interpretation that fits their needs. So you have the most powerful and most prestigious design in current medical evidence, and it can be easily manipulated as an advertisement, as a marketing tool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that defeats one of the main purposes of these studies, which is to make an overflowing scientific literature more manageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Kramer, a clinical professor emeritus at Brown University and author of \u003cem>Listening to Prozac,\u003c/em> took a deep dive into meta-analyses when he was writing his latest book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/06/16/peter-kramers-new-defense-of-antidepressants\">Ordinarily Well\u003c/a>. He found the situation even worse than Ioannidis suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some ways my doubts are stronger than his,\" Kramer told Shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analyses he looked at were trying to parse very subtle differences — for example, comparing two very similar antidepressants. You could get any answer you want, depending on how you set up the study, Kramer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the problems he found aren't simply commercial conflicts of interest. For example, he saw biases among academics who were wedded to the notion that placebos are just as good as actual drugs for depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even on that side of the equation, where there's no adverse sponsorship but just an allegiance to an idea, I thought it wasn't always the case that everybody's hands were on the table,\" Kramer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But financial conflicts are easier to identify. Five years ago, the National Academy's Institute of Medicine (now called the National Academy of Medicine) suggested dozens of standards that should apply to systematic reviews of the research literature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The influence of funders is a concern, says \u003ca href=\"https://depts.washington.edu/fammed/profile/?id=00041\">Dr. Alfred Berg\u003c/a>, a professor emeritus of family medicine at the University of Washington who chaired one of the committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If there's obvious sponsorship from an organization that might have a conflict of interest, that's probably not a good idea,\" he says. It's reasonable to suggest that scientists with clear financial conflicts of interest should not be producing these studies. \"Is it going to happen in my lifetime?\" Berg says. \"Probably not!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pfizer, one of the many drug companies that fund meta-analyses involving their own products, declined an interview request. But the company noted in an emailed statement that the drug company \"shares data from its clinical trials with outside members of the research community for them to conduct their own independent meta-analyses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, scientific journals are starting to do a better job of making sure researchers disclose their financial interests. It's up to readers now to take heed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Email Richard Harris at \u003ca href=\"mailto:rharris@npr.org\">rharris@npr.org.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

These are considered the gold standard for evidence. But one of the leading advocates for this practice is now raising alarm about them, because they are increasingly being tainted by commercial interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many years, these studies — called meta-analyses and systematic reviews — seemed to solve a big problem. Doctors who had once relied on each other's expert opinions to select the best treatments gradually turned to careful scientific studies instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the number of studies mushroomed and often came to different conclusions. So in the 1990s, doctors and medical advisory committees started relying on studies that combined results from many different research projects to streamline the search for answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kinds of studies are \"extremely important,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/john-ioannidis\">Dr. John Ioannidis\u003c/a>, a professor of medicine health research and policy at Stanford University. He has conducted many of these types of studies over the course of his career. \"They're trying to make some sense out of a very convoluted scientific and medical literature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ioannidis says unfortunately things have gotten out of hand. First, \"the problem is that there are just too many meta-analyses,\" Ioannidis says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ioannidis says the drug industry has started using meta-analysis for commercial purposes, rather than as a disinterested look at the evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They can get the results or at least the interpretation that fits their needs. So you have the most powerful and most prestigious design in current medical evidence, and it can be easily manipulated as an advertisement, as a marketing tool.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that defeats one of the main purposes of these studies, which is to make an overflowing scientific literature more manageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Kramer, a clinical professor emeritus at Brown University and author of \u003cem>Listening to Prozac,\u003c/em> took a deep dive into meta-analyses when he was writing his latest book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/06/16/peter-kramers-new-defense-of-antidepressants\">Ordinarily Well\u003c/a>. He found the situation even worse than Ioannidis suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some ways my doubts are stronger than his,\" Kramer told Shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analyses he looked at were trying to parse very subtle differences — for example, comparing two very similar antidepressants. You could get any answer you want, depending on how you set up the study, Kramer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the problems he found aren't simply commercial conflicts of interest. For example, he saw biases among academics who were wedded to the notion that placebos are just as good as actual drugs for depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even on that side of the equation, where there's no adverse sponsorship but just an allegiance to an idea, I thought it wasn't always the case that everybody's hands were on the table,\" Kramer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But financial conflicts are easier to identify. Five years ago, the National Academy's Institute of Medicine (now called the National Academy of Medicine) suggested dozens of standards that should apply to systematic reviews of the research literature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The influence of funders is a concern, says \u003ca href=\"https://depts.washington.edu/fammed/profile/?id=00041\">Dr. Alfred Berg\u003c/a>, a professor emeritus of family medicine at the University of Washington who chaired one of the committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If there's obvious sponsorship from an organization that might have a conflict of interest, that's probably not a good idea,\" he says. It's reasonable to suggest that scientists with clear financial conflicts of interest should not be producing these studies. \"Is it going to happen in my lifetime?\" Berg says. \"Probably not!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pfizer, one of the many drug companies that fund meta-analyses involving their own products, declined an interview request. But the company noted in an emailed statement that the drug company \"shares data from its clinical trials with outside members of the research community for them to conduct their own independent meta-analyses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, scientific journals are starting to do a better job of making sure researchers disclose their financial interests. It's up to readers now to take heed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Email Richard Harris at \u003ca href=\"mailto:rharris@npr.org\">rharris@npr.org.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

She said Vietnamese-American respondents who are younger, U.S.-born and with a college degree were more likely to say they'd welcome Syrian refugees. Of all the groups surveyed, Vietnamese-Americans were the most divided: 34 percent said they opposed accepting refugees; 27 percent refused to answer the question or said they didn't know; and 38 percent said they favored accepting refugees. This is in stark contrast to Hmong-American respondents, 74 percent of whom supported accepting refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vo said many of the Vietnamese-Americans she spoke with who aren't welcoming of refugees tend to agree with the view that Syrian refugees are dangerous, and they think of themselves as different. That is, they consider themselves to be \"good\" refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postwar refugees from Vietnam, she said, considered the Republican Party to be more anti-Communist and — for the largely Catholic immigrants — more socially conservative, with values that aligned with their own. Second-generation Vietnamese-Americans, Vo said, tend to vote for Democratic candidates — as they voted for Barack Obama in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're shifting away from the Republican Party, but not yet ready to commit to Democrats,\" Wong said. Many Vietnamese-Americans tend to be \"big government people\" — supporting social services, including Obamacare — but aren't necessarily comfortable with the label of \"Democrat,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked with Steven Mai, a 42-year-old Vietnamese-American engineer and community activist who lives in Garden Grove, California. Mai immigrated to the U.S. in 1985. He's a Republican but says he doesn't always vote for GOP candidates. He said he had supported Trump until the Republican candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/us/politics/donald-trump-khizr-khan-wife-ghazala.html\">criticized the family\u003c/a> of Humayun Khan, an American Muslim Army captain who died in Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Trump, when he was attacking that family ... I said, 'That's it, that's my final call,' \" said Mai, who serves in the California State Military Reserve. \"And now I confirmed my belief that yes ... he's just proven over time that he was never a leader.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mai's parents feel differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My parents are going to vote for Donald Trump,\" he said. \"Even though I told them their votes can be very dangerous, they said, 'Well, I'm not particularly liking Trump, I just don't like Hillary.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did mention that, 'Hey, after all, this person [Trump] is not supporting us — particularly minorities, or refugees.

The overall margin of error is +/- 3.5 percent. \u003ccite>(Alyson Hurt/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Janelle Wong, one of the NAAS researchers, who also heads the Asian-American Studies department at the University of Maryland, broke the data down even further. She said Vietnamese-American respondents who are younger, U.S.-born and with a college degree were more likely to say they'd welcome Syrian refugees. Of all the groups surveyed, Vietnamese-Americans were the most divided: 34 percent said they opposed accepting refugees; 27 percent refused to answer the question or said they didn't know; and 38 percent said they favored accepting refugees. This is in stark contrast to Hmong-American respondents, 74 percent of whom supported accepting refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vo said many of the Vietnamese-Americans she spoke with who aren't welcoming of refugees tend to agree with the view that Syrian refugees are dangerous, and they think of themselves as different. That is, they consider themselves to be \"good\" refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postwar refugees from Vietnam, she said, considered the Republican Party to be more anti-Communist and — for the largely Catholic immigrants — more socially conservative, with values that aligned with their own. Second-generation Vietnamese-Americans, Vo said, tend to vote for Democratic candidates — as they voted for Barack Obama in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're shifting away from the Republican Party, but not yet ready to commit to Democrats,\" Wong said. Many Vietnamese-Americans tend to be \"big government people\" — supporting social services, including Obamacare — but aren't necessarily comfortable with the label of \"Democrat,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked with Steven Mai, a 42-year-old Vietnamese-American engineer and community activist who lives in Garden Grove, California. Mai immigrated to the U.S. in 1985. He's a Republican but says he doesn't always vote for GOP candidates. He said he had supported Trump until the Republican candidate \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/us/politics/donald-trump-khizr-khan-wife-ghazala.html\">criticized the family\u003c/a> of Humayun Khan, an American Muslim Army captain who died in Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Trump, when he was attacking that family ... I said, 'That's it, that's my final call,' \" said Mai, who serves in the California State Military Reserve. \"And now I confirmed my belief that yes ... he's just proven over time that he was never a leader.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mai's parents feel differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My parents are going to vote for Donald Trump,\" he said. \"Even though I told them their votes can be very dangerous, they said, 'Well, I'm not particularly liking Trump, I just don't like Hillary.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did mention that, 'Hey, after all, this person [Trump] is not supporting us — particularly minorities, or refugees. But my mom, she said, 'Well, the better of the two is still going to be Trump,' because [my parents are] Republican, and they vote by party line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Back in 2002, California passed a law that provides \u003ca href=\"http://www.edd.ca.gov/disability/paid_family_leave.htm\">paid family leave benefits\u003c/a> to eligible workers. In many ways, the law mimicked paid parental leave policies that are in effect in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/06/495839588/countries-around-the-world-beat-the-u-s-on-paid-parental-leave\">nearly every other country\u003c/a> in the world.

Being able to encourage one of his son's first milestones — turning over for the first time — and share the baby's delight was priceless, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the family leave law went into effect more than a decade ago, it's had a positive impact, says sociologist \u003ca href=\"https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Faculty/Core-Bios/Ruth-Milkman\">Ruth Milkman\u003c/a>, a professor at City University of New York, who has studied the law and its history. Business interests initially opposed the law, Milkman says, claiming it would kill jobs and drive small business out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she and a colleague \u003ca href=\"http://cepr.net/documents/publications/paid-family-leave-1-2011.pdf\">surveyed \u003c/a>large, midsize and small companies in California five years after the state's family leave law went into effect, they discovered those early fears hadn't played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 90 percent of businesses reported a neutral or even positive impact on their companies after the law. The positive impact had to do with improved employee productivity and morale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes sense, Milkman says. \"It's a new benefit and employees are happy about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families too, have reported positive changes, she says. There's been a steady, significant increase in the number of new dads like Eli taking paternity leave to bond with their babies. And, since the law launched, the length of time new mothers like Iris breastfeed has doubled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law still requires sacrifice on the part of anyone taking the benefit. It doesn't provide a full paycheck — just 55 percent of an employee's weekly salary. The Fugates say living on a tighter budget each week wasn't easy, but the couple had enough saved to make that work. Eli works as a manager for a large grocery chain, and Iris is a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for many families, especially low-wage workers, living on half-pay is much tougher, or even impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11123754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-800x264.jpg\" alt=\"It was financially challenging to live on 55 percent of the family's income in the weeks after Jack was born, Iris Fugate says, but the couple had been able to save enough money to make it work.\" width=\"800\" height=\"264\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11123754\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-800x264.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-400x132.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-1920x634.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-1180x390.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-960x317.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was financially challenging to live on 55 percent of the family's income in the weeks after Jack was born, Iris Fugate says, but the couple had been able to save enough money to make it work. \u003ccite>(Sandy Huffaker for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kitty Jensen and her husband, Lasha Gabrichi, live in North Hollywood, where Jensen works as a personal assistant to a clothing designer.

In many ways, the law mimicked paid parental leave policies that are in effect in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/06/495839588/countries-around-the-world-beat-the-u-s-on-paid-parental-leave\">nearly every other country\u003c/a> in the world. But it was the first of its kind in the U.S., and several other states have \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/07/497079311/state-laws-build-momentum-for-first-national-paid-family-leave-program\">since followed suit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how California's law, part of the state's disability insurance program, works: Most workers in the state have small deductions (less than 1 percent of their wages) withheld from each paycheck\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program works sort of like the federal Social Security system, creating a pool of money employees can draw from if and when they need to take time off work to care for a seriously ill relative, or when they have a new baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New moms and dads get six weeks off at a little more than half their weekly pay — 55 percent, with a cap that's indexed to inflation each year.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iris and Eli Fugate, who live in San Diego, say the paid leave gave them precious time to welcome their son, Jack, into the family. Iris took the full six weeks of leave after Jack was born five months ago. Eli took three weeks, and plans to spread the rest out over the next few months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11123753\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Iris Fugate says having the time with her husband, Eli, to jointly care for their baby in Jack's first weeks of life helped them learn how to parent together.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11123753\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-2_enl-fc34b2936b23c9298392c3d4ec1ceca4d7203069.jpg 1996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iris Fugate says having the time with her husband, Eli, to jointly care for their baby in Jack's first weeks of life helped them learn how to parent together. \u003ccite>(Sandy Huffaker for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We both got time to get to know him \u003cem>together\u003c/em>,\" Iris says of that early time with baby Jack. \"Really meaningful — I can't imagine it going any other way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Being able to encourage one of his son's first milestones — turning over for the first time — and share the baby's delight was priceless, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the family leave law went into effect more than a decade ago, it's had a positive impact, says sociologist \u003ca href=\"https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Faculty/Core-Bios/Ruth-Milkman\">Ruth Milkman\u003c/a>, a professor at City University of New York, who has studied the law and its history. Business interests initially opposed the law, Milkman says, claiming it would kill jobs and drive small business out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she and a colleague \u003ca href=\"http://cepr.net/documents/publications/paid-family-leave-1-2011.pdf\">surveyed \u003c/a>large, midsize and small companies in California five years after the state's family leave law went into effect, they discovered those early fears hadn't played out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 90 percent of businesses reported a neutral or even positive impact on their companies after the law. The positive impact had to do with improved employee productivity and morale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That makes sense, Milkman says. \"It's a new benefit and employees are happy about it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families too, have reported positive changes, she says. There's been a steady, significant increase in the number of new dads like Eli taking paternity leave to bond with their babies. And, since the law launched, the length of time new mothers like Iris breastfeed has doubled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law still requires sacrifice on the part of anyone taking the benefit. It doesn't provide a full paycheck — just 55 percent of an employee's weekly salary. The Fugates say living on a tighter budget each week wasn't easy, but the couple had enough saved to make that work. Eli works as a manager for a large grocery chain, and Iris is a lawyer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for many families, especially low-wage workers, living on half-pay is much tougher, or even impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11123754\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-800x264.jpg\" alt=\"It was financially challenging to live on 55 percent of the family's income in the weeks after Jack was born, Iris Fugate says, but the couple had been able to save enough money to make it work.\" width=\"800\" height=\"264\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11123754\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-800x264.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-400x132.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-1920x634.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-1180x390.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/cafamily-duo_enl-c7df7d322a9aa9a2ab25f323c6a021ee3565b652-960x317.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It was financially challenging to live on 55 percent of the family's income in the weeks after Jack was born, Iris Fugate says, but the couple had been able to save enough money to make it work. \u003ccite>(Sandy Huffaker for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kitty Jensen and her husband, Lasha Gabrichi, live in North Hollywood, where Jensen works as a personal assistant to a clothing designer.

You can do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interview occurred before Trump was set to film a cameo on the soap opera \"Days of Our Lives,\" and he laughed that he needed \"some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He apparently was referencing actress Arianne Zucker, who, later in the video, meets Trump to take him on set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In talking about kissing women, Trump boasted: \"I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Grab them by the p****. You can do anything,\" the Republican nominee continued, using vulgar slang for the female anatomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also told Bush — who is the nephew of former President George H.W. Bush and cousin of former President George W. Bush and former 2016 candidate Jeb Bush — about a time he unsuccessfully tried to seduce a married woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I moved on her, and I failed,\" he said. \"I'll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married.\" He continued, \"I moved on her very heavily.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he even took her furniture shopping to try and get her to sleep with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I moved on her like a b****,\" he said, \"but I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then, all of a sudden, I see her — she's now got the big phony t*** and everything. She's totally changed her look.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump issued a three-sentence statement in response to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Trump's last sentence amounts to a quasi-apology, saying, he apologizes \"if anyone was offended,\" not that he regrets the remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2askcu2gVdsaDRVEbEUM6A9Y6j2CeJhj\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In regard to trying to shift blame to Bill Clinton, Trump has also threatened to bring up the former president's infidelities in an attempt to damage his wife during the next debate. That's despite Trump having been divorced twice and admitting to his own adultery. At the time of this 2005 recording, Trump had just married this third and current wife, Melania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is far from the first time Trump has come under fire for using offensive language about women. Last fall, he criticized Fox News host Megyn Kelly for her tough questions during the first GOP primary debate and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/07/trump-says-foxs-megyn-kelly-had-blood-coming-out-of-her-wherever/\">said\u003c/a> she had \"blood coming out of her wherever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first general election debate last week, Trump said actress Rosie O'Donnell \"deserves\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/27/politics/donald-trump-debate-rosie-odonnell-feud/\">past insults \u003c/a>he's made calling her a \"pig\" with a \"fat ugly face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when Clinton brought up how he had mocked a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, after she'd gained weight, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/us/politics/alicia-machado-donald-trump.html\">doubled down\u003c/a> on his comments for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

You can do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interview occurred before Trump was set to film a cameo on the soap opera \"Days of Our Lives,\" and he laughed that he needed \"some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Grab them by the p****. You can do anything,\" the Republican nominee continued, using vulgar slang for the female anatomy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also told Bush — who is the nephew of former President George H.W. Bush and cousin of former President George W. Bush and former 2016 candidate Jeb Bush — about a time he unsuccessfully tried to seduce a married woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I moved on her, and I failed,\" he said. \"I'll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married.\" He continued, \"I moved on her very heavily.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he even took her furniture shopping to try and get her to sleep with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I moved on her like a b****,\" he said, \"but I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then, all of a sudden, I see her — she's now got the big phony t*** and everything. She's totally changed her look.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump issued a three-sentence statement in response to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Trump's last sentence amounts to a quasi-apology, saying, he apologizes \"if anyone was offended,\" not that he regrets the remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In regard to trying to shift blame to Bill Clinton, Trump has also threatened to bring up the former president's infidelities in an attempt to damage his wife during the next debate. That's despite Trump having been divorced twice and admitting to his own adultery. At the time of this 2005 recording, Trump had just married this third and current wife, Melania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is far from the first time Trump has come under fire for using offensive language about women. Last fall, he criticized Fox News host Megyn Kelly for her tough questions during the first GOP primary debate and \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/07/trump-says-foxs-megyn-kelly-had-blood-coming-out-of-her-wherever/\">said\u003c/a> she had \"blood coming out of her wherever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the first general election debate last week, Trump said actress Rosie O'Donnell \"deserves\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/27/politics/donald-trump-debate-rosie-odonnell-feud/\">past insults \u003c/a>he's made calling her a \"pig\" with a \"fat ugly face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when Clinton brought up how he had mocked a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, after she'd gained weight, Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/us/politics/alicia-machado-donald-trump.html\">doubled down\u003c/a> on his comments for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
