But the report also notes that 32 percent of Californians — more than 12 million people, mostly residents of the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California — live in communities where pollution still violates federal clean-air standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, embedded below, says the Bay Area is the only region in the state that meets both federal ozone and particulate pollution standards, though it still violates stricter state standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The presentation also noted the high number of \"s\u003ca href=\"http://sparetheair.org/\" target=\"_blank\">pare the air\u003c/a>\" advisories declared in the Bay Area and other regions -- with the worst pollution measured in the San Joaquin Valley -- due to our siege of calm, rainless weather and the lack of \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1521112/vertical-mixing\" target=\"_blank\">vertical mixing\u003c/a>\" in the atmosphere. The CARB staff presentation says agency scientists are assessing the impact of the recent bad air on the state's long-term effort to meet federal air standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a writeup from the Associated Press based on \u003ca href=\"http://lat.ms/1mR1yI9\" target=\"_blank\">the Los Angeles Times story\u003c/a> on the report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Associated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While overall air quality in California has improved significantly over the past decade, about a third of the population lives where pollution is in excess of federal health standards, according to state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board presented an assessment of smog and soot levels on Thursday in Sacramento, \u003ca href=\"http://lat.ms/1mR1yI9\" target=\"_blank\">the Los Angeles Times reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board's report said smog fell 15 to 20 percent in urban areas since 2003, yet levels remain above federal health standards in parts of greater Los Angeles, the San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento and San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the South Coast region, which includes Los Angeles and Orange counties, the number of high-ozone days has dropped 21 percent since 2003. State officials now estimate about 60 percent of people, including all coastal residents, live where smog meets federal health standards.

I went in with the Watergate papers; Frank Church’s report on the Intelligence Committee that looks a lot like the report on the NSA; Michael Harrington, the congressman from Massachusetts, who was talking about spying and the rest of this, essentially probably had to leave Congress because of his public discussion of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I voted for \u003ca href=\"http://beta.congress.gov/amendment/113th-congress/house-amendment/413?q=%7B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the amendment\u003c/a> that sort of pulled the NSA up short in the House a couple months ago, that vote for me was more about the House intelligence and the Senate intelligence committees because I think those committees are set up not to have real oversight, but so the intelligence agencies can say that they come and they’ve talked to Congress: ‘We informed Congress.’ They informed them in such an opaque fashion that the members of the committee are (saying) to one another: ‘Did they tell us this? How do we find out? Where was this?

George Miller had some critical words for the House and Senate intelligence committees during his visit to “Forum.”\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Martinez Congressman George Miller, who announced last week he won’t seek re-election after 20 terms in office, appeared on KQED’s “Forum” on Thursday to reflect on his 40 years representing the East Bay. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201401230900\">In an interview\u003c/a> that covered everything from the Affordable Care Act to his No Child Left Behind legislation, it was his criticism of the House and Senate intelligence committees that stood out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller’s harsh words for how the intelligence panels operate came in response to a listener who asked in part: “The recent Manning & Snowden leaks seem to show the same abuses enumerated in the Church Committee of the late ’70s. How can the next Rep. to sit in his seat restrain NSA spying, CIA secret killing, and wars based on lies like Iraq better than the last 30 years?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here’s Miller’s response:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“That’s a tough question, but I think that person better be real skeptical. I went in with the Watergate papers; Frank Church’s report on the Intelligence Committee that looks a lot like the report on the NSA; Michael Harrington, the congressman from Massachusetts, who was talking about spying and the rest of this, essentially probably had to leave Congress because of his public discussion of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I voted for \u003ca href=\"http://beta.congress.gov/amendment/113th-congress/house-amendment/413?q=%7B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the amendment\u003c/a> that sort of pulled the NSA up short in the House a couple months ago, that vote for me was more about the House intelligence and the Senate intelligence committees because I think those committees are set up not to have real oversight, but so the intelligence agencies can say that they come and they’ve talked to Congress: ‘We informed Congress.’ They informed them in such an opaque fashion that the members of the committee are (saying) to one another: ‘Did they tell us this? How do we find out? Where was this? Where was that?’\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘I think those committees are set up not to have real oversight, but so the intelligence agencies can say that they come and they’ve talked to Congress.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>And they’ll tell you, as they ask very pointed questions.

Residents who awakened in the predawn darkness to see flames approaching were ordered to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Television images showed several structures engulfed in flames in a neighborhood abutting Angeles National Forest, just north of the San Gabriel Valley community of Glendora. Homes are nestled in canyons and among rugged ridges that made an accurate assessment difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 125 acres of dry brush was charred in the wilderness area about 25 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said they questioned three persons of interest detained near Colby Trail, where the fire was believed to have started. Sheriff's Sgt. Raymond Roth stressed that they were not suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notorious \u003ca href=\"http://meteora.ucsd.edu/cap/santa_ana.html\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Anas\u003c/a>, linked to the spread of Southern California's worst wildfires, picked up at daybreak. The extremely dry Santa Anas blow downslope and can push fires out of the mountains and into communities below. The area, which has been historically dry, has been buffeted by the winds which have raised temperatures into the 80s. The Santa Anas typically begin in the fall and last through winter into spring. A wet winter reduces fire risk, but the whole state is experiencing historically dry conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Glendora police said officers were going door to door ordering residents of the city of 50,000 to leave. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>TV news helicopters spotted embers igniting palm trees in residential yards as firefighters with hoses beat back flames lapping at the edges of homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glendora police said officers were going door to door ordering residents of the city of 50,000 to leave. Citrus College, located in the heart of Glendora, canceled classes for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several schools were closed. The Glendora Unified School District closed Goddard Middle School, which was being used as a fire department command post. District spokeswoman Michelle Hunter said 900 students attend the school, which is near the fire and within the evacuation area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 500 firefighters were on the scene. The Los Angeles County Fire Department deployed seven engines and three helicopters to the fire, which was reported around 5:50 a.m. (PST) and was growing rapidly. Officials added to the firefighting aircraft with a water-dropping Super Scooper plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ash rained down on the city, said Jonathan Lambert, 31, general manager of Classic Coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're underneath a giant cloud of smoke,\" he said. \"It's throwing quite the eerie shadow over a lot of Glendora.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resident Eric Black told KCAL-TV that he is preparing to evacuate, but he's going to try to protect his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're loading up the motorhome right now. If we need to go, we'll go.\" Black told the station. He had been using his garden hose to wet the brush around his house. \"I'm going to stay as long as I can to try to protect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last catastrophic fire in the San Gabriel Mountains broke out in 2009 and burned for months. The flames blackened 250 square miles, killed two firefighters and destroyed 209 structures, including 89 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is in a historically dry era and winter has brought no relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Red-flag warnings for critical fire weather conditions were posted from Santa Barbara County south through Los Angeles to the U.S.-Mexico border, along the spine of the Sierra Nevada, and in areas east and north of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires that struck windy areas of the state earlier in the week were quickly quashed by large deployments of firefighters, aircraft and other equipment before the flames could be stoked by gusts into major conflagrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large parts of Southern California below mountain passes, canyons and foothills have been buffeted all week by the region's notorious Santa Ana winds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned by surface high pressure over the interior of the West, the Santa Anas form as the cold air flows toward Southern California, then speeds up and warms as it descends in a rush toward the coast. Some of the most extreme gusts reported by the National Weather Service topped 70 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These offshore winds also raise temperatures to summerlike levels. Many areas have enjoyed temperatures well into the 80s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is also under the influence of a persistent upper-level ridge of high pressure anchored off its north coast that has also kept the region generally warm, dry and clear.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Residents who awakened in the predawn darkness to see flames approaching were ordered to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Television images showed several structures engulfed in flames in a neighborhood abutting Angeles National Forest, just north of the San Gabriel Valley community of Glendora. Homes are nestled in canyons and among rugged ridges that made an accurate assessment difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 125 acres of dry brush was charred in the wilderness area about 25 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said they questioned three persons of interest detained near Colby Trail, where the fire was believed to have started. Sheriff's Sgt. Raymond Roth stressed that they were not suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notorious \u003ca href=\"http://meteora.ucsd.edu/cap/santa_ana.html\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Anas\u003c/a>, linked to the spread of Southern California's worst wildfires, picked up at daybreak. The extremely dry Santa Anas blow downslope and can push fires out of the mountains and into communities below. The area, which has been historically dry, has been buffeted by the winds which have raised temperatures into the 80s. The Santa Anas typically begin in the fall and last through winter into spring. A wet winter reduces fire risk, but the whole state is experiencing historically dry conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> Glendora police said officers were going door to door ordering residents of the city of 50,000 to leave. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>TV news helicopters spotted embers igniting palm trees in residential yards as firefighters with hoses beat back flames lapping at the edges of homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glendora police said officers were going door to door ordering residents of the city of 50,000 to leave. Citrus College, located in the heart of Glendora, canceled classes for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several schools were closed. The Glendora Unified School District closed Goddard Middle School, which was being used as a fire department command post. District spokeswoman Michelle Hunter said 900 students attend the school, which is near the fire and within the evacuation area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 500 firefighters were on the scene. The Los Angeles County Fire Department deployed seven engines and three helicopters to the fire, which was reported around 5:50 a.m. (PST) and was growing rapidly. Officials added to the firefighting aircraft with a water-dropping Super Scooper plane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ash rained down on the city, said Jonathan Lambert, 31, general manager of Classic Coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're underneath a giant cloud of smoke,\" he said. \"It's throwing quite the eerie shadow over a lot of Glendora.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resident Eric Black told KCAL-TV that he is preparing to evacuate, but he's going to try to protect his home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're loading up the motorhome right now. If we need to go, we'll go.\" Black told the station. He had been using his garden hose to wet the brush around his house. \"I'm going to stay as long as I can to try to protect.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last catastrophic fire in the San Gabriel Mountains broke out in 2009 and burned for months. The flames blackened 250 square miles, killed two firefighters and destroyed 209 structures, including 89 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is in a historically dry era and winter has brought no relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Red-flag warnings for critical fire weather conditions were posted from Santa Barbara County south through Los Angeles to the U.S.-Mexico border, along the spine of the Sierra Nevada, and in areas east and north of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fires that struck windy areas of the state earlier in the week were quickly quashed by large deployments of firefighters, aircraft and other equipment before the flames could be stoked by gusts into major conflagrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large parts of Southern California below mountain passes, canyons and foothills have been buffeted all week by the region's notorious Santa Ana winds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spawned by surface high pressure over the interior of the West, the Santa Anas form as the cold air flows toward Southern California, then speeds up and warms as it descends in a rush toward the coast. Some of the most extreme gusts reported by the National Weather Service topped 70 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These offshore winds also raise temperatures to summerlike levels. Many areas have enjoyed temperatures well into the 80s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is also under the influence of a persistent upper-level ridge of high pressure anchored off its north coast that has also kept the region generally warm, dry and clear.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update Wednesday 10:15 a.m.:\u003c/strong> The owner of the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. says he'll appeal his imminent eviction from Point Reyes National Seashore to the U.S. Supreme Court. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Tuesday rejected Kevin Lunny's request for a rehearing of his case. Lunny has been seeking to overturn a 2012 decision by former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to end the oyster operation's lease at the seashore and allow the National Park Service to proceed with plans to convert the property to wilderness uses.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
