"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Jerry Brown on Friday. But it’s worth knowing about because it’s bound to affect you -- even if you don't work for the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/CalPERS.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-74988\" title=\"CalPERS\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/CalPERS-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>Think of it this way: Your friend Cal has run up a really huge credit card debt. Every month, Cal only pays a sliver of what he owes, so the debt just keeps getting bigger. To afford his minimum payments, he has moved into a smaller apartment, sold his car and stopped taking his prescription medicine. But still the debt keeps growing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the analogy suggested by Joe Nation, a Stanford University public policy professor who was himself a state assemblyman representing Marin County from 2000 to 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal is California.

He tells us unions rose and fell with the economy and boy, did they have \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banking_crises\">a lot\u003c/a> of booms and busts back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They [unions] tended to grow and thrive in times of prosperity,” Cherny says, “when it was possible for employers to improve wages or to improve hours because there was such a demand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there were the recessions, and they were often so fierce that unions simply collapsed. New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters. The Teamsters' refusal to haul luggage from a non-union \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drayage\">drayage\u003c/a> firm caused the strike, but also provided a convenient focal point for the latest employer’s association - and for that matter, the City Front Federation.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort. On the side of the wagon is the company name McNab & Smith. (Courtesy of SF's Marine Firemen's Union)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It was July, 1901, high summer, and Professor Cherny notes regional produce was ready to roll or rot. The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All right, lesson over.

New ones sprouted up only when the economy recovered. Employers also banded then broke up, with greater and lesser effect on the local labor market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1890s, employers had the upper hand, and they used it to quash labor unions, picking them off one by one. Few unions survived the decade, “but those that did,\" Cherny says, \"began to form central bodies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building trade unions, for example, banded together. “The plumbers, the carpenters, the painters, the roofers and so forth.” That way, a strike by one union was a strike by all, and they could shut down – or threaten to shut down – the entire construction industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Front Federation pulled together the Sailor's Union of the Pacific, the longshoremen's unions, and a brand new local for the Teamsters.

Soon hundreds of locked out Teamsters found themselves among others who had already been on strike: restaurant cooks and waiters, bakers and bakery wagon drivers, metal polishers, and all fourteen unions of the Iron Trades Council, who were part of a national strike.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-74902\" title=\"1-Scab-Escort\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/08/1-Scab-Escort-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 1901 scab teamster with a San Francisco police escort.

The employers brought in strikebreakers. The city brought in police. The employers brought in \"specials\" who acted like police with city sanction. Still, the strike dragged on. Picketing workers were clubbed and even shot. They threw stones at the strikebreakers, in turn, and marbles under the horses pulling the carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The employers went to Sacramento to seek the aid of Republican Governor \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Gage\">Henry Gage\u003c/a>. Bring in the militia, they suggested. He didn't do that, but he did come to San Francisco - and proceeded to meet with \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/Father_Yorke_and_the_labor_movement_in_S.html?id=jmk6AAAAMAAJ\">Father Peter Yorke\u003c/a>, an Irish Catholic priest whose support was critical for Gage in the 1898 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't know what Peter Yorke said to Governor Gage,\" Cherny says, \"but what Governor Gage did was to bring in the Drayman's Association and the Teamsters Union, and close the door on the employer's association.\" Alone at the negotiating table, the two principals quickly settled their differences. Finally, the strike was over. It was October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus was born the inspiration for the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Labor_Party_%28California%29\">Union Labor Party\u003c/a>, which nominated Eugene Schmitz, president of the local Musicians' Union, as its candidate for Mayor. The ULP put up a whole slate of candidates that November and won three supervisors' seats in addition to the mayoralty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus began the reign of the ULP, which lasted through 1911. Even by labor accounts, there was a lot of corruption. In short, you had to go through one man, the Republican Party's Abraham Ruef, to land a city permit or contract, and this quickly created a situation where everybody had too much at stake to complain openly. In 1911, a change in state law required that city candidates be non-partisan. Labor councils then endorsed candidates but didn't run them in elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the \u003ca href=\"http://www.aflcio.org/About/Our-History\">AFL\u003c/a> (the American Federation of Labor) was formed in 1886 as a nationwide, umbrella organization for unions,\" Cherny says, \"one of their guiding principles was 'stay out of politics.' The San Francisco unions, and the California unions more generally, never paid much attention to that, because they always saw politics as being crucial to the success of unions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking at the 1901 strike, he goes on, “you can see why unions felt that it was very important to have a friendly administration in city hall. Or if not a friendly one, at least a neutral one, not one that was on the side of the employers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The jury did reject some of Apple's claims against the two dozen Samsung devices at issue, declining to award the $2.5 billion Apple demanded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the jury found that several of Samsung's products illegally used such Apple creations as the \"bounce-back\" feature and the ability to zoom text with a finger tap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During closing arguments, Apple attorney Harold McElhinny claimed Samsung was having a \"crisis of design\" after the 2007 launch of the iPhone, and executives with the South Korean company were determined to illegally cash in on the success of the revolutionary device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Samsung's lawyers countered that it was simply and legally giving consumers what they want: Smart phones with big screens.

Apple's headquarters is a mere 10 miles from the courthouse, and jurors were picked from the heart of Silicon Valley where Apple's late founder Steve Jobs is a revered technological pioneer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the legal and technological issues were complex, patent expert Alexander I.

On Tuesday the company hired a public relations firm, which issued a statement saying the company is cooperating with investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Central Valley Meat is working closely with the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to address animal-handling concerns arising from a covert video provided to USDA by an animal rights group. Central Valley Meat takes these issues very seriously and is now developing a plan of action to present to FSIS to remedy any potential violations of USDA guidelines. Based on our own investigation and 30 years of producing safe, high-quality US beef, we are confident these concerns pose no food safety issues. We take these allegations very seriously and will immediately address any concerns the USDA may have,” the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video taken by an undercover investigator for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cok.net/investigations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Compassion Over Killing\u003c/a> also shows cattle lying in pens unable to move, and at least one unable to stand to leave a stock transportation trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some clips show cattle with swollen udders that are unable to keep their legs under them. Other footage shows a downed cow trembling and unable to stand even as workers try to pull her up by the tail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within hours of seeing the video, the USDA’s Office of Inspector General sent investigators who found evidence of “egregious inhumane handling and treatment of livestock.” The possibility that animals were being inhumanely treated caused officials to shut down the plant while the investigation unfolds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USDA had at least two inspectors stationed at the site, and federal officials, when asked whether there was evidence the inspectors had neglected their duties, said the investigation is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USDA received hours of videotape from the Washington D.C.-based animal welfare group, which said its undercover investigator was employed by the slaughterhouse and made the video over a two-week period in June and early July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four minutes of excerpts the animal welfare group provided to The Associated Press showed cows being prepared for slaughter. One worker appears to be suffocating a cow by standing on its muzzle after a gun that injects a bolt into the animal’s head had failed to render it unconscious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another clip, a cow is still conscious and flailing as a conveyor lifts it by one leg for transport to an area where the animals’ throats are slit for blood draining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The horror caught on camera is sickening,” said Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing. “It’s alarming that this is not only a USDA-inspected facility but a supplier to the USDA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online USDA records show the company has contracted to sell ground beef to USDA food programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a good sign that the USDA is taking this seriously, but I want to see what comes next,” said Meier of Compassion Over Killing, adding the video will be posted on the organization’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is reminiscent of a 2008 undercover operation by the Humane Society of the United States at the Hallmark slaughter plant in Chino that led to the largest-ever recall of beef and the conviction of two people found to have treated cows cruelly. In that case, video showed downed cows being prodded with a folk lift.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Mark Taylor, chief operating officer, said on Tuesday that the company acted immediately upon becoming aware it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As soon as we became aware of the allegations regarding Central Valley Meat Company and their handling of cattle, we immediately severed our supplier relationship with them. In-N-Out Burger would never condone the inhumane treatment of animals and all of our suppliers must agree to abide by our strict standards for the humane treatment of cattle,” Taylor said to The Associated Press in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In-N-Out’s agreement with suppliers prohibits companies from shipping beef from sick animals. The agreement also includes standards on humane treatment of animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Tuesday the company hired a public relations firm, which issued a statement saying the company is cooperating with investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Central Valley Meat is working closely with the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to address animal-handling concerns arising from a covert video provided to USDA by an animal rights group. Central Valley Meat takes these issues very seriously and is now developing a plan of action to present to FSIS to remedy any potential violations of USDA guidelines. Based on our own investigation and 30 years of producing safe, high-quality US beef, we are confident these concerns pose no food safety issues. We take these allegations very seriously and will immediately address any concerns the USDA may have,” the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video taken by an undercover investigator for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cok.net/investigations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Compassion Over Killing\u003c/a> also shows cattle lying in pens unable to move, and at least one unable to stand to leave a stock transportation trailer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some clips show cattle with swollen udders that are unable to keep their legs under them. Other footage shows a downed cow trembling and unable to stand even as workers try to pull her up by the tail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within hours of seeing the video, the USDA’s Office of Inspector General sent investigators who found evidence of “egregious inhumane handling and treatment of livestock.” The possibility that animals were being inhumanely treated caused officials to shut down the plant while the investigation unfolds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USDA had at least two inspectors stationed at the site, and federal officials, when asked whether there was evidence the inspectors had neglected their duties, said the investigation is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USDA received hours of videotape from the Washington D.C.-based animal welfare group, which said its undercover investigator was employed by the slaughterhouse and made the video over a two-week period in June and early July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four minutes of excerpts the animal welfare group provided to The Associated Press showed cows being prepared for slaughter. One worker appears to be suffocating a cow by standing on its muzzle after a gun that injects a bolt into the animal’s head had failed to render it unconscious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another clip, a cow is still conscious and flailing as a conveyor lifts it by one leg for transport to an area where the animals’ throats are slit for blood draining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The horror caught on camera is sickening,” said Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing. “It’s alarming that this is not only a USDA-inspected facility but a supplier to the USDA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online USDA records show the company has contracted to sell ground beef to USDA food programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a good sign that the USDA is taking this seriously, but I want to see what comes next,” said Meier of Compassion Over Killing, adding the video will be posted on the organization’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case is reminiscent of a 2008 undercover operation by the Humane Society of the United States at the Hallmark slaughter plant in Chino that led to the largest-ever recall of beef and the conviction of two people found to have treated cows cruelly. In that case, video showed downed cows being prodded with a folk lift.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

These were sent to the Air District’s lab at 6 a.m. this morning, and the results came in this afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results of our lab analysis of air samples from the Chevron fire show levels of these potentially toxic pollutants to be well under their reference exposure levels or RELs, and not a significant health concern. These concentrations were similar to the “background” levels measured throughout the Bay Area by our monitoring network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air District lab tested these air quality samples for a group of 23 compounds, most of which have been identified by the state of California as Toxic Air Contaminants. The Air District regularly tests and measures amounts of these compounds through its air monitoring network. These pollutants are organic compounds typically found in petroleum products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air District also performed an additional analysis to identify and estimate concentrations of any other pollutants that might show up in significant amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reference Exposure Levels, or RELS, were developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as public health measurements based on epidemiological evidence and sensitive populations. RELS are set at levels that could impact sensitive populations – children, the elderly, or those with pre-existing health issues or respiratory conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local air quality monitors also showed near normal concentrations of air pollution from the fire, with pollution levels significantly below federal health standards. Weather conditions were favorable at the time of the incident – surface winds were light and heat pushed the smoke upwards where stronger winds aloft helped to disperse it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the investigation, the Air District has reviewed air quality monitoring data from monitors at the Chevron facility.

These were sent to the Air District’s lab at 6 a.m. this morning, and the results came in this afternoon. The results of our lab analysis of air samples from the Chevron fire show levels of these potentially toxic pollutants to be well under their reference exposure levels or RELs, and not a significant health concern.

These concentrations were similar to the “background” levels measured throughout the Bay Area by our monitoring network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air District lab tested these air quality samples for a group of 23 compounds, most of which have been identified by the state of California as Toxic Air Contaminants. The Air District regularly tests and measures amounts of these compounds through its air monitoring network. These pollutants are organic compounds typically found in petroleum products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Air District also performed an additional analysis to identify and estimate concentrations of any other pollutants that might show up in significant amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reference Exposure Levels, or RELS, were developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment as public health measurements based on epidemiological evidence and sensitive populations. RELS are set at levels that could impact sensitive populations – children, the elderly, or those with pre-existing health issues or respiratory conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local air quality monitors also showed near normal concentrations of air pollution from the fire, with pollution levels significantly below federal health standards. Weather conditions were favorable at the time of the incident – surface winds were light and heat pushed the smoke upwards where stronger winds aloft helped to disperse it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the investigation, the Air District has reviewed air quality monitoring data from monitors at the Chevron facility.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. 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.
