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.",

The owner of the LA gastro-pub wanted Taylor to build a \"Made in California\" bar to brand the beer \u003cem>and\u003c/em> the spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, we can’t have Campari,\" Taylor says when I ask him how he'd make a Negroni. \"It’s from Italy. But what we do have is a Hibiscus liquor, made by \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenbar.biz/\">Modern Spirits\u003c/a> (of Monrovia). So we’ll tell them what we’re going to make, we’ll call it a California Negroni. You know, it’s the same same but different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes,” you may be saying. \"Whatever that is, that’s not a Negroni.” If you’re stuck on that fact, you’re not Taylor’s customer. Or maybe you are. He knows the recipe for success with the California-only concept is taking the time to talk to customers about the products he's selling - and the distilleries that make them. Many of them are small outfits with small marketing budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone comes into Mohawk Bend off the street, chances are they’ve never heard of any liquor that we carry. So it’s the challenge to tell them the story of why we do that and to make them a drink that they’ll appreciate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also talked to Thad Vogler, \"the guy behind the guy behind the guy\" (as another guy put it) at many of the best Bay Area bars. At the very least, he was in the area at the creation: \u003ca href=\"http://www.jardiniere.com/\">Jardiniere\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bourbonandbranch.com/\">Bourbon & Branch\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://floraoakland.com/flashsite/\">Flora\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://berettasf.com/\">Beretta\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.caminorestaurant.com/\">Camino\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.heavensdog.com/main/HD.html\">Heaven's Dog\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bardessono.com/\">Bardessono\u003c/a>.

(Credit: KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Vogler has a twin focus: 1) high quality ingredients; 2) authenticity, in terms of reviving the cocktail culture of pre-Prohibition America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points out, for instance, that brandy was big in 19th-century cocktails. 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?

The owner of the LA gastro-pub wanted Taylor to build a \"Made in California\" bar to brand the beer \u003cem>and\u003c/em> the spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, we can’t have Campari,\" Taylor says when I ask him how he'd make a Negroni. \"It’s from Italy. But what we do have is a Hibiscus liquor, made by \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenbar.biz/\">Modern Spirits\u003c/a> (of Monrovia). So we’ll tell them what we’re going to make, we’ll call it a California Negroni.

Or maybe you are. He knows the recipe for success with the California-only concept is taking the time to talk to customers about the products he's selling - and the distilleries that make them. Many of them are small outfits with small marketing budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone comes into Mohawk Bend off the street, chances are they’ve never heard of any liquor that we carry. So it’s the challenge to tell them the story of why we do that and to make them a drink that they’ll appreciate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also talked to Thad Vogler, \"the guy behind the guy behind the guy\" (as another guy put it) at many of the best Bay Area bars. At the very least, he was in the area at the creation: \u003ca href=\"http://www.jardiniere.com/\">Jardiniere\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bourbonandbranch.com/\">Bourbon & Branch\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://floraoakland.com/flashsite/\">Flora\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://berettasf.com/\">Beretta\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.caminorestaurant.com/\">Camino\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.heavensdog.com/main/HD.html\">Heaven's Dog\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bardessono.com/\">Bardessono\u003c/a>.

This old style cocktail involves a raw egg, but also two California spirits: a brandy from Marian Farms in Fresno and an agricole style rum made by St. George in Alameda. (Credit: KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Vogler has a twin focus: 1) high quality ingredients; 2) authenticity, in terms of reviving the cocktail culture of pre-Prohibition America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points out, for instance, that brandy was big in 19th-century cocktails. 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?

Mayor Quan was the first elected official to speak out publically (sic) about the importance of keeping the Port open prior to the December 12 demonstrations.

The Mayor’s stance on keeping the Port open has not changed. The following statement corrects the public record on keeping the Port of Oakland open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can keep the Port open. I was providing background on how complex and costly it can be to do so. The City and Port are committed to working closely together to keep this economic engine for the region open. The real issue is about jobs—the 73,000 blue collar workers and farmworkers throughout the region who depend on the Port for their paycheck and the rest of the City businesses that rely on shipments through the Port for their success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “During the last demonstration, the Port of Oakland agreed to pay for a portion of the cost of police services, and my comment was in reference to that. If another demonstration is planned, the City and Port would meet again to discuss the costs and how they would be shared between the Port and the City.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jean Quan\u003cbr>\nMayor of Oakland\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sue Piper\u003cbr>\nSpecial Assistant to the Mayor\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All right.

But...I meet with her from time to time, so I don't want to send messages from Sacramento. I'll deliver them in person.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparently, the mayor or someone in her camp decided it was time for a little damage control. Yesterday evening, Quan's office sent out a statement \"Correcting the Public Record on Keeping the Port of Oakland Open,\" in which she says, \"we can keep the port open.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The full statement: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Due to the stories regarding the Mayor’s comments about the Port we are releasing a statement to correct the public record. Mayor Quan was the first elected official to speak out publically (sic) about the importance of keeping the Port open prior to the December 12 demonstrations. (See \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/12/Open-letter-to-Occupy-Protesters-December-11-2011.pdf\">Open letter to Occupy Protesters December 11 2011\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port and City worked together effectively to minimize disruptions to Port operations on December 12. The Mayor’s stance on keeping the Port open has not changed. The following statement corrects the public record on keeping the Port of Oakland open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can keep the Port open. I was providing background on how complex and costly it can be to do so. The City and Port are committed to working closely together to keep this economic engine for the region open. The real issue is about jobs—the 73,000 blue collar workers and farmworkers throughout the region who depend on the Port for their paycheck and the rest of the City businesses that rely on shipments through the Port for their success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> “During the last demonstration, the Port of Oakland agreed to pay for a portion of the cost of police services, and my comment was in reference to that. If another demonstration is planned, the City and Port would meet again to discuss the costs and how they would be shared between the Port and the City.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jean Quan\u003cbr>\nMayor of Oakland\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sue Piper\u003cbr>\nSpecial Assistant to the Mayor\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All right. Now maybe the mayor can address her statement that she \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/djsaunders/2011/12/23/jean-quan-shows-her-blind-spots/\">subscribes to the New York Times print edition, but only reads the Oakland Tribune and Chronicle online\u003c/a>... \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I spoke with John Incardona, a research toxicologist with NOAA’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/\">Northwest Fisheries Science Center\u003c/a>, about the researchers' conclusions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You looked at the spill’s effects on Pacific herring over three years. What did you find?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared to other spills like the Exxon Valdez, this was a small spill, just 54,000 gallons of bunker fuel. So when we were asked to assess the impacts, a lot of us thought we really wouldn’t see anything. But what we learned is that these very small spills may be having a much larger impact than anybody appreciated in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why look at Pacific herring?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_species\">keystone species\u003c/a> in the food web. If you look at birds and marine mammals in the Pacific, that’s what they’re eating. They also aren’t resident in San Francisco Bay for most of the year. They’re an ocean fish that spawns in the bay, so it’s a crucial habitat for the eggs and young fish. Each year, there are thousands of fish that come into the bay to lay thousands of eggs. Herring have sticky eggs and they attach them to vegetation on the shoreline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When there's an oil spill from a ship, that oil floats, so it washes up on the shoreline. Chemicals from the oil dissolve in the water and those chemicals are very readily taken up by a herring embryo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>..these very small spills may be having a much larger impact than anybody appreciated in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>What does the oil do to developing herring?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We knew from the Exxon Valdez spill that herring embryos are very sensitive to oil. It damages the hearts of developing fish. That’s what we were expecting to see in San Francisco Bay. We looked at herring embryos growing in the tidal zone and we found that in the subtidal areas, the lower areas, the embryos were developing heart defects through 2010. There was still a lingering effect of the oil a full two years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in February 2008, a lot of herring spawned in shallower water. And when we looked at those eggs, instead of seeing the cardiac effects, they were almost all completely dead. And not just dead, but falling apart. So that was the surprising finding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was it surprising to find dead eggs? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know that crude oil doesn’t usually kill the eggs outright. It produces heart defects, which kill the fish later. So it was unusual to find dead eggs in shallower water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s different in shallower water is that there’s more exposure to sunlight. We suspect that there was some interaction between the bunker oil compounds and UV light that makes it more toxic.

If you look at birds and marine mammals in the Pacific, that’s what they’re eating. They also aren’t resident in San Francisco Bay for most of the year. They’re an ocean fish that spawns in the bay, so it’s a crucial habitat for the eggs and young fish. Each year, there are thousands of fish that come into the bay to lay thousands of eggs. Herring have sticky eggs and they attach them to vegetation on the shoreline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When there's an oil spill from a ship, that oil floats, so it washes up on the shoreline. Chemicals from the oil dissolve in the water and those chemicals are very readily taken up by a herring embryo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>..these very small spills may be having a much larger impact than anybody appreciated in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>What does the oil do to developing herring?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We knew from the Exxon Valdez spill that herring embryos are very sensitive to oil. It damages the hearts of developing fish. That’s what we were expecting to see in San Francisco Bay. We looked at herring embryos growing in the tidal zone and we found that in the subtidal areas, the lower areas, the embryos were developing heart defects through 2010. There was still a lingering effect of the oil a full two years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in February 2008, a lot of herring spawned in shallower water. And when we looked at those eggs, instead of seeing the cardiac effects, they were almost all completely dead. And not just dead, but falling apart. So that was the surprising finding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was it surprising to find dead eggs? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know that crude oil doesn’t usually kill the eggs outright. It produces heart defects, which kill the fish later. So it was unusual to find dead eggs in shallower water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s different in shallower water is that there’s more exposure to sunlight. We suspect that there was some interaction between the bunker oil compounds and UV light that makes it more toxic. There’s something in the bunker oil that produces different effects than crude oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is bunker oil and how is it different from crude oil? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s what fuels all of these large ships.

Hence, his climate plan has been a bit murky to date.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to a couple hundred leaders in politics, business and science, the governor said that California needs to build on its early start in tackling climate change, and prepare for the unavoidable effects of a changing climate such as sustained droughts and flooding from winter storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The risk is real, the cost is huge and growing, and therefore taking a sequence of realistic steps just makes sense, and that’s what we’re going to do in California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown had some harsh words for Republicans who deny the existence of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
