Among the changes made at the 245,000-barrels-per-day refinery are expanded testing to detect thinning pipes, new leak-response protocols and increasing employee training, according to the 11-page report. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_22468798/turn-appeals-puc-decision-raise-pg-e-natural\">Watchdog appeals PUC decision to raise PG&E natural gas rates\u003c/a> (Contra Costa Times)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A consumer watchdog group filed an appeal Monday that seeks to reverse a state commission's decision in December that will let Pacific Gas & Electric raise rates to help finance the company's upgrades of its natural gas system. The improvements are being made in the wake of the lethal natural gas explosion in September 2010 that killed eight and demolished part of a San Bruno neighborhood. \"We have said over and over again that the PUC cannot require customers to pay for PG&E's mistakes,\" said Mindy Spatt, a spokeswoman for Toward Utility Rate Normalization, or TURN, which filed the appeal with the state Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_22469167/san-jose-poised-approve-sweeping-environmental-plan\">San Jose poised to approve sweeping environmental plan\u003c/a> (SJ Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The San Jose City Council on Tuesday is poised to take one of its most important environmental votes in decades on a plan that over the next 50 years would protect habitat for endangered species even as development continues. San Jose is the last of six governmental agencies in Santa Clara County to take up the Habitat Conservation Plan, an attempt to balance conservation and construction over five decades. If approved, the plan would affect 506,000 acres, almost 60 percent of the county, and raise $665 million, mostly from developer fees, government agencies, state and federal grants and private donations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/nation/article/Gay-couples-left-out-of-immigration-plan-4230776.php\">Gay couples left out of immigration plan\u003c/a> (SF Chronicle)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Latino and business groups applauded a sweeping immigration overhaul proposed Monday by eight Democratic and Republican senators, but its omission of binational same-sex couples alarmed activists who fear those couples could be used as a bargaining chip to woo GOP votes for legislation later this year.

The Cupertino company's stock rebounded Monday, however, gaining 2.3 percent to close at $449.83, giving it a market cap -- the total value of all shares in a company -- of $422.4 billion.

The reprieve came shortly after the utility announced it would remove the diminutive, hand-painted creatures that have been proliferating around Lake Merritt for six months on the grounds they were \"compromising\" utility equipment. \"We received a great deal of public feedback, so we're declaring the poles gnome-man's land.

Prosecutors said they weren't confident they could prove a felony reckless-burning charge against contractor Channing Verden. But they also were about to confront a defendant who was going to claim he was the victim of a double standard -- by pointing out that prosecutors never charged a state fire captain with any crime, even though the captain's arguably similar actions had sparked the subsequent 2009 Loma fire.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130128/ARTICLES/130129534/1350?Title=Santa-Rosa-council-picks-Swinth-to-replace-Gorin\">Santa Rosa City Council picks Robin Swinth to replace Susan Gorin\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa Press Democrat)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Santa Rosa City Council on Monday night selected Robin Swinth, a member of the city's powerful Board of Public Utilities and a former Agilent Technologies engineer, to fill the remaining two years of Susan Gorin's council term. \"She did her homework,\" Mayor Scott Bartley said of Swinth's presentation earlier in the day to the council. \"I think she'll do an excellent job.\" \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’ve met with several freshmen members of California’s delegation this week, and overall they seem an impressive bunch, if not still a little green. Doug LaMalfa, a fourth-generation rice farmer still getting his sea legs, asked in the middle of my interview, “Am I doing all right here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was doing fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the quiet no doubt precedes a coming storm over those big issues I mentioned. But before that: the presidential inaugural on Monday, a celebration with ceremonial oaths of office, a big speech and the Star Spangled Banner sung by Beyoncé.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the policy front, Democrats seems split on how to move ahead on gun control legislation — piecemeal or comprehensive. But on immigration there seems to be the outline of a bipartisan agreement shaping up, with Florida Senator Marco Rubio describing a Republican path to legal status for the 11 million undocumented immigrants here. \u003c!--more-->This sounds a lot like what President Obama offered in the past. So what’s new? The November election results, that’s what, and the overwhelming support the president received from Latinos and Asian voters — the fastest growing segment of the electorate. And Republican-leaning groups — agricultural, religious and business interests — who seem to agree this needs to get done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is the single-largest gift for scholarships of this type at a U.S. university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gift will assist the nearly 200 undocumented students at UC Berkeley from 20 different countries who currently qualify, and will help more in the future.

At UC Berkeley, he embraced campus life, becoming active in student government, but was forced to drop out more than a year ago when he couldn’t keep up with the cost of tuition. Next semester, with money he earned working at the store and new state financial aid made possible by the passage of the California Dream Act, he’ll return to finish his studies. In the fall, funding from the new Haas, Jr. Fund scholarships will provide additional and much-needed resources for Rivera and others who don’t qualify for federal student aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so grateful for this opportunity,” said Rivera. Of UC Berkeley’s new services and scholarships designed for students like him, he added, “You’re not just paying for a student to go to college, you are helping a whole community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2011, the state Legislature passed the two-part California Dream Act, ensuring that undocumented immigrants have the same access to state financial aid as all other low-income students. Undocumented students can now receive privately funded scholarships through UC Berkeley and eventually will receive Cal Grants and state-funded scholarships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the California Dream Act passed, UC Berkeley was one of the state’s first public universities to provide significant aid to undocumented students. This new gift from the Haas, Jr. Fund helps to fill the gap left by students’ inability to receive federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Against great odds, our ‘Dreamers’ have persevered to be here at Berkeley — adding so much to this campus,” said Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau, who has made access to UC Berkeley by talented students from all walks of life a centerpiece of his eight-year tenure. “We are grateful for the courage of these ‘Dreamers’ and also for the courage of those who stepped forward to support them. Our challenge is to continue ensuring that all our students at Berkeley, regardless of background, have access to their dreams, and that we do not waste the potential of a single talented person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the Haas, Jr. Fund, we are committed to advancing rights and creating opportunities so that all people can live, work and raise their families with dignity,” said Haas, Jr. Fund President Ira S. Hirschfield. “These motivated, hardworking and inspiring students are an asset to our state and our country. We are proud to partner with UC Berkeley. Now that it’s legal to do so in California, we encourage other foundations and private donors to consider providing funding to help undocumented students achieve their potential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scholarships are part of a comprehensive plan at UC Berkeley to address the unique challenges undocumented students face. New services launching this semester also include support for those enrolled in a campus summer program to help high schoolers transition to UC Berkeley, funds for emergency needs, an online resource that centralizes information for the students and their families, legal services support, a textbook lending library and mental health resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An additional gift of $300,000 by Elise Haas will support services for undocumented students, including UC Berkeley’s new Robert D.

Sandy has crippled the Northeast, caused billions of dollars in damage and killed more than 70 people. Jeffrey Mount, a geology professor who is founding director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis, wrote Monday on a university blog that the Bay Area business community “should be taking notes” on Sandy. Why? Because the same “trifecta of high tides, storm surge and intense rain” that pounded the Northeast could devastate the Bay Area, according to Mount.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2012/11/01/unemployment-claims-drop-to-363000.html\">Unemployment claims drop to 363,000\u003c/a> (Business First)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> The net number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits for the week ended Oct. 27 fell by 9,000 from the previous week’s revised total, to 363,000, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Thursday.

District Attorney Nancy O’Malley’s new policy makes Alameda one of a handful of counties in the nation, including Santa Clara, where prosecutors are openly considering the threat of deportation in evaluating how they seek guilty pleas for low-level crimes. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.examiner.com/article/expert-warns-of-sandy-style-storm-threat-san-francisco-bay-area\">Expert warns of Sandy-style storm threat in San Francisco Bay Area\u003c/a> (SF Examiner)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A geology professor at the University of California, Davis, is warning that the San Francisco Bay Area could be blasted by a storm just like Sandy – and that businesses in the region are ill-prepared for this hazard. Sandy has crippled the Northeast, caused billions of dollars in damage and killed more than 70 people. Jeffrey Mount, a geology professor who is founding director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis, wrote Monday on a university blog that the Bay Area business community “should be taking notes” on Sandy. Why? Because the same “trifecta of high tides, storm surge and intense rain” that pounded the Northeast could devastate the Bay Area, according to Mount.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2012/11/01/unemployment-claims-drop-to-363000.html\">Unemployment claims drop to 363,000\u003c/a> (Business First)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> The net number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits for the week ended Oct. 27 fell by 9,000 from the previous week’s revised total, to 363,000, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Thursday.

The 8X-Bayshore Express Muni bus was torched and vandalized at about 12:30 a.m. Monday at Market and Third streets.

Earlier this year, the U.S. House rejected a measure that would have increased the annual allowance from 10,000 to 15,000. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the Department of Homeland Security ran out of U visas in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis, the Oakland police captain who previously oversaw the program, said its success is in the progress he sees in the community, such as more people calling the police for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mendoza’s case, the three suspects had robbed several other stores in the neighborhood, but no one had ever called the police. She said a salon client who was there during the robbery had been held up at an ATM weeks earlier but never reported it. The fear extended to the court system. For weeks, Mendoza begged a woman from a nearby sandwich shop to testify in her case against the robbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She didn’t speak English at all. She was terrified,” Mendoza recalled. “I myself speak English, so I kind of understand. People who don’t speak English, they just have no idea what they’re getting into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months later, Mendoza’s grandmother happened to meet someone on a bus who told her about the U visa. Mendoza reached out to a local nonprofit and eventually found Susan Bowyer, directing attorney of the Immigration Center for Women and Children’s San Francisco office, who previously helped Oakland establish its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza is now pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles and plans to start taking college classes in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never, ever experienced something like that before,” she said, recalling the day of the holdup. “When they left, I was terrified. Now I tell people, ‘You need to make a police report. You have to do it because otherwise these guys are going to come back on the street.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

In recent months, the task was reassigned to a lieutenant who is also overseeing Operation Ceasefire, a new strategy that involves identifying and intervening with violent offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There also are not enough visas to go around. Earlier this year, the U.S. House rejected a measure that would have increased the annual allowance from 10,000 to 15,000. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the Department of Homeland Security ran out of U visas in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis, the Oakland police captain who previously oversaw the program, said its success is in the progress he sees in the community, such as more people calling the police for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mendoza’s case, the three suspects had robbed several other stores in the neighborhood, but no one had ever called the police. She said a salon client who was there during the robbery had been held up at an ATM weeks earlier but never reported it. The fear extended to the court system. For weeks, Mendoza begged a woman from a nearby sandwich shop to testify in her case against the robbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She didn’t speak English at all. She was terrified,” Mendoza recalled. “I myself speak English, so I kind of understand. People who don’t speak English, they just have no idea what they’re getting into.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months later, Mendoza’s grandmother happened to meet someone on a bus who told her about the U visa. Mendoza reached out to a local nonprofit and eventually found Susan Bowyer, directing attorney of the Immigration Center for Women and Children’s San Francisco office, who previously helped Oakland establish its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza is now pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles and plans to start taking college classes in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve never, ever experienced something like that before,” she said, recalling the day of the holdup. “When they left, I was terrified. Now I tell people, ‘You need to make a police report. You have to do it because otherwise these guys are going to come back on the street.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

I’m sorry I had to lie to be in your newsrooms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then he went on to make a case for striking the terms “illegal immigrant” and “illegal alien” from news reports. Vargas prefers the term “undocumented immigrant.” He gave these arguments:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The term is inaccurate, because many people in question have not been convicted. Vargas quoted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/11-182\">ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on Arizona’s immigration law\u003c/a>: “As a general rule it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The term is inherently biased and has historically been used to influence opinion against various immigrant groups.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The term is dehumanizing because it refers to a person as illegal rather than an illegal act.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees. CNN columnist Ruben Navarrette took the opposite position in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/06/opinion/navarrette-illegal-immigrant/index.html\">July 6, 2012 column\u003c/a>. Among other points, he argues that “undocumented” is inaccurate because many of the people in question have documents — but the documents are forged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News organizations often use style guides that indicate which terms to use in controversial situations. The most widely used style guide is produced by the Associated Press, and it specifies that “illegal immigrant”rather than “undocumented immigrant” (or “illegal alien”) be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vargas said he is “targeting” the Associated Press and the New York Times because they can influence other journalism organizations. (KQED generally adheres to guidelines in the Associated Press style book, but reporters here have used both “illegal immigrant” and “undocumented immigrant” on this website.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate has surfaced in other places recently, including KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201207130900\">Forum\u003c/a> on July 13, 2012, and on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122314131\">National Public Radio\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the forum segment, host Joshua Johnson read a message from a listener: “I can’t understand why the word ‘illegal’ has been replaced with the word ‘undocumented.’ If you break a law you must pay the consequences. This whole discussion is giving the illegal aliens more latitude in breaking the existing federal laws. End of discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His guest, Angela F. Chan, senior staff attorney in the Criminal Justice Reform Program at the Asian Law Caucus, responded. Here’s the exchange that followed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> I’m happy to explain that. CNN actually put out an interesting piece in which they explained why the word “illegal” as it refers to undocumented immigrants is actually a slur. When someone breaks a [law], even if it’s a very serious criminal law, you normally don’t refer to that person as illegal. You refer to that person as an individual who has committed a crime. For someone who is undocumented, it’s not even a crime to be in the United States. It’s a violation of federal civil laws. So we use the word “undocumented” because they don’t have documents to be in the United States. It’s a more accurate term and a less biased and inflammatory term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson:\u003c/strong> But isn’t it possible that if someone has immigrated to the U.S. in a way that is not lawful that the term illegal immigrant might actually be accurate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> It’s not accurate in that it’s inflammatory. It’s making someone seem like they are not human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson:\u003c/strong> Inflammatory but accurate. I mean, and I hate to harp over this point, but I think the linguistics of this is part of the uproar over how we deal with immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> And I understand the concern. The problem is that that term does not apply uniformly to people who break the law. It’s only applied to a certain set of populations, undocumented immigrants. And basically the idea behind it is to make this group seem less human.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The announcement was the beginning of a new focus for Vargas as an activist for immigrant rights. \u003c!--more-->His visit to San Francisco was a homecoming; Vargas spent his adolescence in Mountain View, attended college at San Francisco State University and worked for the San Francisco Chronicle before going to the Post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You can watch his speech in this video from the convention (Vargas comes on at 17:40.)\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0\" src=\"http://cdn.livestream.com/embed/onlinenewsassociation?layout=4&clip=pla_80312892-5ac0-4dfb-85a6-feecd5adf0dc&height=340&width=560&autoplay=false\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 11px;padding-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 560px\">Watch \u003ca title=\"live streaming video\" href=\"http://www.livestream.com/?utm_source=lsplayer&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=footerlinks\">live streaming video\u003c/a> from \u003ca title=\"Watch onlinenewsassociation at livestream.com\" href=\"http://www.livestream.com/onlinenewsassociation?utm_source=lsplayer&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=footerlinks\">onlinenewsassociation\u003c/a> at livestream.com\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>After relating how he discovered that his green card was fake when he applied for a driver’s license, Vargas apologized to former colleagues. “I lied to some of the people here,” he said. “And I’m really, really sorry for that.

Vargas prefers the term “undocumented immigrant.” He gave these arguments:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The term is inaccurate, because many people in question have not been convicted. Vargas quoted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/11-182\">ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on Arizona’s immigration law\u003c/a>: “As a general rule it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The term is inherently biased and has historically been used to influence opinion against various immigrant groups.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The term is dehumanizing because it refers to a person as illegal rather than an illegal act.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees. CNN columnist Ruben Navarrette took the opposite position in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/06/opinion/navarrette-illegal-immigrant/index.html\">July 6, 2012 column\u003c/a>. Among other points, he argues that “undocumented” is inaccurate because many of the people in question have documents — but the documents are forged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News organizations often use style guides that indicate which terms to use in controversial situations. The most widely used style guide is produced by the Associated Press, and it specifies that “illegal immigrant”rather than “undocumented immigrant” (or “illegal alien”) be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vargas said he is “targeting” the Associated Press and the New York Times because they can influence other journalism organizations. (KQED generally adheres to guidelines in the Associated Press style book, but reporters here have used both “illegal immigrant” and “undocumented immigrant” on this website.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate has surfaced in other places recently, including KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201207130900\">Forum\u003c/a> on July 13, 2012, and on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122314131\">National Public Radio\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the forum segment, host Joshua Johnson read a message from a listener: “I can’t understand why the word ‘illegal’ has been replaced with the word ‘undocumented.’ If you break a law you must pay the consequences. This whole discussion is giving the illegal aliens more latitude in breaking the existing federal laws. End of discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His guest, Angela F. Chan, senior staff attorney in the Criminal Justice Reform Program at the Asian Law Caucus, responded. Here’s the exchange that followed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> I’m happy to explain that. CNN actually put out an interesting piece in which they explained why the word “illegal” as it refers to undocumented immigrants is actually a slur. When someone breaks a [law], even if it’s a very serious criminal law, you normally don’t refer to that person as illegal. You refer to that person as an individual who has committed a crime. For someone who is undocumented, it’s not even a crime to be in the United States. It’s a violation of federal civil laws. So we use the word “undocumented” because they don’t have documents to be in the United States. It’s a more accurate term and a less biased and inflammatory term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson:\u003c/strong> But isn’t it possible that if someone has immigrated to the U.S. in a way that is not lawful that the term illegal immigrant might actually be accurate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> It’s not accurate in that it’s inflammatory. It’s making someone seem like they are not human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joshua Johnson:\u003c/strong> Inflammatory but accurate. I mean, and I hate to harp over this point, but I think the linguistics of this is part of the uproar over how we deal with immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Angela F. Chan:\u003c/strong> And I understand the concern. The problem is that that term does not apply uniformly to people who break the law. It’s only applied to a certain set of populations, undocumented immigrants. And basically the idea behind it is to make this group seem less human.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
