"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.",

It was first found in the US in Florida in 1998. As far as we know, it reached California in 2008, along the Mexican border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Asian citrus psyllid has flown or hitchhiked its way inexorably northward into the backyards of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. They eat the leaves and stems of citrus trees, injecting a toxin as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaves twist and die. Worse, some of the psyllids are carrying a bacterium that causes \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=ovipositor&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=XdX&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=d98FT9GrHoKwsAKF2NWRCg&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=796#hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=8Is&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Huanglongbing&pbx=1&oq=Huanglongbing&aq=f&aqi=g2g-S4g-mS1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=768117l768117l0l768564l1l1l0l0l0l0l157l157l0.1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=45bde0f5721a4de0&biw=1280&bih=796\">Huanglongbing\u003c/a>, or citrus greening. The leaves on infected trees turn yellowand the fruit becomes hard and bitter before the tree expires. Huanglongbing has not been found in California - yet - but commercial citrus growers are really, really worried about it.

So the Hoddles thought they should head to the Punjab because \"that particular part of the world has a very good climate match with California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of course, the question rises ... what about unintended consequences?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many instances of problems addressed with invasive species that became problems in their own right.

Commercial citrus producers in California will still continue to apply insecticides to prevent the spread of Huanglongbing. But, he says, state regulators have already determined backyard pesticide applications are too expensive ($10-11 million so far) and too ineffective to bother with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One final note: Hoddle collected the parasites in collaboration with scientists at the University of Agriculture in Faisalabad.

As far as we know, it reached California in 2008, along the Mexican border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Asian citrus psyllid has flown or hitchhiked its way inexorably northward into the backyards of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. They eat the leaves and stems of citrus trees, injecting a toxin as they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leaves twist and die.

The leaves on infected trees turn yellowand the fruit becomes hard and bitter before the tree expires. Huanglongbing has not been found in California - yet - but commercial citrus growers are really, really worried about it.

State officials said the preference was justified because the transportation of ethanol from other states produces climate-changing greenhouse gases, and because California producers have more access than those in the Midwest to low-emission hydroelectric and nuclear power. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But O'Neill said those rules, regardless of their purpose, interfere with interstate commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's goal of combatting global warming \"may be legitimate,\" the judge said, but \"it cannot be achieved by the illegitimate means of isolating the state from the national economy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said other rules that assign higher and lower values to fuels produced by different farming practices amounted to an attempt to regulate out-of-state conduct, which exceeds a state's constitutional power. And O'Neill said California had failed to show that it could not accomplish its goals with regulations that applied only to in-state commerce, such as a tax on gasoline and other carbon-containing fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out-of-state fuels producers hailed the decision as a win for California drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today's decision ... struck down a misguided policy that would have resulted in even higher fuel costs for Californian consumers while increasing the cost of business throughout the state,\" said Consumer Energy Alliance Executive Vice President Michael Whatley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board plans to ask the judge to stay the ruling, and appeal if necessary to San Francisco's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, spokesman Dave Clegern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule is \"an evenhanded standard that encourages the use of cleaner low-carbon fuels by regulating fuel providers in California,\" Clegern said, adding that it \"does not discriminate against any fuels on the basis of geography.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning this year, the standard has required petroleum refiners, companies that blend fuel and distributors to gradually increase the cleanliness of the fuel they sell in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board previously had said the low-carbon mandate will reduce California's dependence on petroleum by 20 percent and account for one-tenth of the state's goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, the California Dairy Campaign, the Renewable Fuels Associations and other groups filed a similar lawsuit in the same court in 2009. Their complaint said the regulation conflicted with the federal Renewable Fuel Standard and would close California's borders to corn ethanol made in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit legal organization Earthjustice, which was not party to the suit but works on climate-related issues, said the ruling was a major setback for the state's aggressive greenhouse gas emission regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California is leading the way on cleaner fuels and a cleaner power grid, and the state's programs are consistent with federal law,\" Earthjustice President Trip Van Noppen said. \"It is not surprising that the oil industry is attacking these programs, but like previous attacks in the courts and at the ballot box, we expect this one ultimately to fail.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

State officials said the preference was justified because the transportation of ethanol from other states produces climate-changing greenhouse gases, and because California producers have more access than those in the Midwest to low-emission hydroelectric and nuclear power. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But O'Neill said those rules, regardless of their purpose, interfere with interstate commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And O'Neill said California had failed to show that it could not accomplish its goals with regulations that applied only to in-state commerce, such as a tax on gasoline and other carbon-containing fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out-of-state fuels producers hailed the decision as a win for California drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today's decision ... struck down a misguided policy that would have resulted in even higher fuel costs for Californian consumers while increasing the cost of business throughout the state,\" said Consumer Energy Alliance Executive Vice President Michael Whatley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Air Resources Board plans to ask the judge to stay the ruling, and appeal if necessary to San Francisco's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, spokesman Dave Clegern said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule is \"an evenhanded standard that encourages the use of cleaner low-carbon fuels by regulating fuel providers in California,\" Clegern said, adding that it \"does not discriminate against any fuels on the basis of geography.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning this year, the standard has required petroleum refiners, companies that blend fuel and distributors to gradually increase the cleanliness of the fuel they sell in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board previously had said the low-carbon mandate will reduce California's dependence on petroleum by 20 percent and account for one-tenth of the state's goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, the California Dairy Campaign, the Renewable Fuels Associations and other groups filed a similar lawsuit in the same court in 2009. Their complaint said the regulation conflicted with the federal Renewable Fuel Standard and would close California's borders to corn ethanol made in other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit legal organization Earthjustice, which was not party to the suit but works on climate-related issues, said the ruling was a major setback for the state's aggressive greenhouse gas emission regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California is leading the way on cleaner fuels and a cleaner power grid, and the state's programs are consistent with federal law,\" Earthjustice President Trip Van Noppen said. \"It is not surprising that the oil industry is attacking these programs, but like previous attacks in the courts and at the ballot box, we expect this one ultimately to fail.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As it happens, California distillers are turning out some great brandies. You may have noticed we grow a lot of grapes in this part of the world...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Vogler likes a creative cocktail challenge, he chafes at the idea of setting an arbitrary limit on his raw materials, as in local\u003cem>-only\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Things that are local, things that are made in small batches - they’re almost always the best,\" Vogler says. \"But there are exceptions. Take \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvados_%28brandy%29\">Calvados\u003c/a>, which is a really beautiful heirloom apple brandy from Normandy. These guys have been growing apples for hundreds of years, and doing their own fermentation, their own distillation. Beautiful spirits - and arguably - our notions of what distillation are begin in areas like this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vogler considers himself a Europhile. Indeed, many of the distillers who just started in California, started by bringing equipment over from Europe. Many learned what they know about process and taste from Europe. When you think about it, that's how the wine industry started here. Now doesn't this all give you something to look forward to in 2012?
