"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.",

Currently there are 15 beef and dairy ranches operating along the Point Reyes seashore. Those ranches will remain open under the decision Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oyster farm owner Kevin Lunny, whose family also operates one of the cattle ranches, said he was disappointed by the decision and was still trying to figure out his next move. He had been asking for a 10-year extension of his lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is going to be devastating to our families, our community and our county,\" Lunny said. \"This is wrong beyond words in our opinion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Salazar called to tell him about the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lunny bought the oyster company in 2004, knowing the lease expired in 2012.

Because the lease was set to expire, the company gets no compensation for the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salazar did not stop all commercial activities in the park. He sought to extend the terms of the cattle ranch leases from 10 to 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ranching operations have a long and important history on the Point Reyes peninsula and will be continued at Point Reyes National Seashore,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmentalists and the National Park Service said the farm's operations threatened nearby harbor seals and other native species. The area is a key pupping site for the seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oyster farm had many powerful allies who fought vociferously on its behalf. Many hailed the oyster operation as an example of sustainable aquaculture and the local foods movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and the National Academy of Sciences claimed park officials were trying to get rid of the oyster farm by exaggerating its negative impacts on the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Feinstein said she was extremely disappointed by the decision by Salazar that will put 30 people out of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The National Park Service's review process has been flawed from the beginning with false and misleading science,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To resolve the dispute over the seals, more than $1 million in taxpayer money was spent on environmental assessment studies, according to records. That study was used by Salazar to make his final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's other senator, Barbara Boxer, voiced support for Salazar's choice, saying he made his decision based on science and law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservationists rejoiced at the move, saying it will return one of the few coastal wildernesses in the country to its natural state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Protecting Drakes Estero, America's only West Coast marine wilderness park, will restore health — and hope — for the ocean and for the interests of all of the people of this country,\" oceanographer Sylvia Earle said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Currently there are 15 beef and dairy ranches operating along the Point Reyes seashore. Those ranches will remain open under the decision Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oyster farm owner Kevin Lunny, whose family also operates one of the cattle ranches, said he was disappointed by the decision and was still trying to figure out his next move. He had been asking for a 10-year extension of his lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is going to be devastating to our families, our community and our county,\" Lunny said. \"This is wrong beyond words in our opinion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Salazar called to tell him about the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lunny bought the oyster company in 2004, knowing the lease expired in 2012. But his lawyers felt an extension could be negotiated, so he decided to take on the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company will have to remove its property from park land and waters within 90 days. Because the lease was set to expire, the company gets no compensation for the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salazar did not stop all commercial activities in the park. He sought to extend the terms of the cattle ranch leases from 10 to 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ranching operations have a long and important history on the Point Reyes peninsula and will be continued at Point Reyes National Seashore,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmentalists and the National Park Service said the farm's operations threatened nearby harbor seals and other native species. The area is a key pupping site for the seals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oyster farm had many powerful allies who fought vociferously on its behalf. Many hailed the oyster operation as an example of sustainable aquaculture and the local foods movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and the National Academy of Sciences claimed park officials were trying to get rid of the oyster farm by exaggerating its negative impacts on the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Feinstein said she was extremely disappointed by the decision by Salazar that will put 30 people out of work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The National Park Service's review process has been flawed from the beginning with false and misleading science,\" she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To resolve the dispute over the seals, more than $1 million in taxpayer money was spent on environmental assessment studies, according to records. That study was used by Salazar to make his final decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's other senator, Barbara Boxer, voiced support for Salazar's choice, saying he made his decision based on science and law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservationists rejoiced at the move, saying it will return one of the few coastal wildernesses in the country to its natural state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Protecting Drakes Estero, America's only West Coast marine wilderness park, will restore health — and hope — for the ocean and for the interests of all of the people of this country,\" oceanographer Sylvia Earle said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It is a 5-8 year death sentence for the tree!\" The disease has \u003ca href=\"http://dels-old.nas.edu/banr/enhancedbriefs/citrus-greening.html\">hit Florida citrus production\u003c/a> hard since its discovery there in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite efforts to get the word out to citizens with citrus trees in their backyards, Californians can unwittingly move trees and fruit from infested to un-infested areas. That, and there are so \u003cem>many\u003c/em> citrus trees in California backyards, it's easy for the psyllid to hopscotch from one property to another. \"As you can imagine,\" Hoddle says, \"it's very difficult to police.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmers have been applying topical pesticides to protect against infestation.

It comes after an announcement in March that the Japanese company would voluntarily pull methyl iodine from the U.S. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->Arysta said at the time that the decision was based on the product's lack of economic viability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that the fumigant, also known as idomethane, poses acute public health risks because tests on rats and rabbits showed that exposure causes thyroid cancer, miscarriages and damage to the nervous system. Scientists also found it can pollute air and water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California's $2 billion strawberry industry, which produces more than 90 percent of the nation's crop, has shunned it, in part because it carried severe restrictions on use near schools and residential areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Methyl iodide had been widely seen as a replacement for another fumigant, methyl bromide, which is being phased out under international treaty because it depletes the Earth's ozone. Some growers are currently using up their supplies of methyl bromide, while others have switched to fumigants such as chloropicrin and metam sodium as alternatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Methyl iodide is injected into soil, kills bugs, weeds and plant diseases. It was also used by some growers of tomatoes, peppers and other crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since many foreign countries look to the U.S. EPA's pesticide registry to decide their own regulations, environmentalists hope the decision means its use will be curtailed worldwide. The EPA will take comments on the decision for 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
