They can either petition for a rehearing, or petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case, an even more intense process, since the court only takes a handful of cases per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think the Internet Archive really was serving a transformative purpose and doing what libraries have always done: Loaning out books that they owned to one person at a time,” Gagliano said. “Our take is that it’s absurd that the Internet Archive is allowed to mail me a physical book it owns. The physical publishers can’t stop that. But [the Archive] can’t give me the same content in digital form.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003100,news_11945533 label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent ruling will not disrupt the Internet Archive’s other major service, \u003ca href=\"https://web.archive.org/\">the Wayback Machine\u003c/a>, which saves webpages from across the internet over decades.

This is sad news for many authors who have relied on Internet Archive’s Open Library for research and discovery, and for readers who have used Open Library to find authors’ works,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.authorsalliance.org/2024/09/05/hachette-v-internet-archive-update-second-circuit-court-of-appeals-rules-against-internet-archive/\">wrote the Authors Alliance in a blog post responding to the ruling\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshall Breeding, a consultant on library technology who has been following the Hachette v. Internet Archive case, has a different take. E-book lending is already a widespread practice at public libraries across the country “in a big way already, and that has nothing to do with the Internet Archive,” Breeding said. “This is not the end of libraries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Publishers and authors agreeing with them meanwhile celebrated the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s appellate decision upholds the rights of authors and publishers to license and be compensated for their books and other creative works and reminds us in no uncertain terms that infringement is both costly and antithetical to the public interest,” said Maria A. Pallante, President and CEO, Association of American Publishers, in a statement following the decision.\u003c/p>\n\n",

While \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\">the incidence of on-campus shootings is extremely low\u003c/a>, they’re something many teachers and parents have prepared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most helpful thing for parents to share with their kids is that these events are rare and that adults are there to protect them,” said Stephen Brock, professor of psychology at CSU Sacramento. “We can’t deny the reality of these things, but kids need to be reassured with these facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some kids find out about the news by seeing it themselves or hearing it discussed at school, at home or in their communities. Young children can especially be harmed by this exposure, so experts recommend restricting their access to traumatic news. Kids old enough to have smartphones will likely get misinformation on the internet and social media, so it’s even more important for parents and caregivers to support their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some key steps parents and caregivers can take:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind kids that they are safe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Children need to be reassured by their caregivers that they are safe. \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/talking-to-children\">The American Psychological Association says, above all, reassure\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ … reassure your children that you will do everything you know how to do to keep them safe and to watch out for them. Reassure them that you will be available to answer any questions or talk about this topic again in the future. Reassure them that they are loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Limit young children’s exposure to traumatic news\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Young children have less developed skills to separate facts from fears, so psychologists recommend minimizing a child’s exposure to traumatic news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When kids see the news, even if they are not a resident of [the affected place], they have the mistaken perception that they could be shot at any time,” said Brock. “For little ones, turn [the news] off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sometimes, that fear is transferred to children through adult behavior. If adults are behaving in an anxious or fearful manner, kids will pick up on that, especially those in primary grades and younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids will look to adults to see how scared they should be,” said Brock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Observe your kids for verbal and nonverbal cues\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A parent might overhear a child talking about a traumatic news event, or the child might ask about it. If it looks like the child is curious, engage the child in conversation, said Brock, adding, “Let their questions be your guide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all kids can verbalize what they’re feeling, so look for changes in behavior. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-climate-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers\">the “Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers” report\u003c/a> from the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), caregivers are advised to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Watch for clues that they may want to talk, such as hovering around while you do the dishes or yard work. Some children prefer writing, playing music, or doing an art project as an outlet. Young children may need concrete activities (such as drawing, looking at picture books, or imaginative play) to help them identify and express their feelings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the child is not aware or expressing any interest in a traumatic event, it’s best to not bring it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to interject traumatic events into a child,” said Brock, who co-authored the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Talk with your kids in a way that’s developmentally appropriate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Parents can talk with kids about anything, but it must be developmentally appropriate. Communicating with a 15-year-old is going to be different from talking with a 4-year-old. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-climate-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers\">NASP\u003c/a> has this advice on how to explain traumas, especially in schools, to different age groups:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Early elementary school children\u003c/strong> need brief, simple information that should be balanced with reassurances that their schools and homes are safe and that adults are there to protect them. Give simple examples of school safety like reminding children about exterior doors being locked, child monitoring efforts on the playground, and emergency drills practiced during the school day.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Upper elementary and early middle school children\u003c/strong> will be more vocal in asking questions about whether they truly are safe and what is being done at their school. They may need assistance separating reality from fantasy. Discuss efforts of school and community leaders to provide safe schools.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Upper middle school and high school students\u003c/strong> will have strong and varying opinions about the causes of violence in schools and society. They will share concrete suggestions about how to make school safer and how to prevent tragedies in society. Emphasize the role that students have in maintaining safe schools by following school safety guidelines (e.g., not providing building access to strangers, reporting strangers on campus, reporting threats to the school safety made by students or community members, etc.), communicating any personal safety concerns to school administrators, and accessing support for emotional needs.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teens need guidance from their parents, too, especially since they’re absorbing the chatter on social media networks and direct messages from friends. Kids with phones will likely see graphic images through friends and news updates, which can create added trauma and anxiety. \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/explaining-the-news-to-our-kids\">Common Sense Media advises parents to check in\u003c/a> on their teens:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since, in many instances, teens will have absorbed the news independently of you, talking with them can offer great insights into their developing politics and their senses of justice and morality.

While \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\">the incidence of on-campus shootings is extremely low\u003c/a>, they’re something many teachers and parents have prepared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most helpful thing for parents to share with their kids is that these events are rare and that adults are there to protect them,” said Stephen Brock, professor of psychology at CSU Sacramento. “We can’t deny the reality of these things, but kids need to be reassured with these facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some kids find out about the news by seeing it themselves or hearing it discussed at school, at home or in their communities. Young children can especially be harmed by this exposure, so experts recommend restricting their access to traumatic news. Kids old enough to have smartphones will likely get misinformation on the internet and social media, so it’s even more important for parents and caregivers to support their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some key steps parents and caregivers can take:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind kids that they are safe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Children need to be reassured by their caregivers that they are safe. \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/talking-to-children\">The American Psychological Association says, above all, reassure\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ … reassure your children that you will do everything you know how to do to keep them safe and to watch out for them. Reassure them that you will be available to answer any questions or talk about this topic again in the future. Reassure them that they are loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Limit young children’s exposure to traumatic news\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Young children have less developed skills to separate facts from fears, so psychologists recommend minimizing a child’s exposure to traumatic news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When kids see the news, even if they are not a resident of [the affected place], they have the mistaken perception that they could be shot at any time,” said Brock. “For little ones, turn [the news] off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sometimes, that fear is transferred to children through adult behavior. If adults are behaving in an anxious or fearful manner, kids will pick up on that, especially those in primary grades and younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids will look to adults to see how scared they should be,” said Brock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If it looks like the child is curious, engage the child in conversation, said Brock, adding, “Let their questions be your guide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all kids can verbalize what they’re feeling, so look for changes in behavior. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-climate-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers\">the “Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers” report\u003c/a> from the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), caregivers are advised to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Watch for clues that they may want to talk, such as hovering around while you do the dishes or yard work. Some children prefer writing, playing music, or doing an art project as an outlet. Young children may need concrete activities (such as drawing, looking at picture books, or imaginative play) to help them identify and express their feelings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the child is not aware or expressing any interest in a traumatic event, it’s best to not bring it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to interject traumatic events into a child,” said Brock, who co-authored the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Talk with your kids in a way that’s developmentally appropriate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Parents can talk with kids about anything, but it must be developmentally appropriate. Communicating with a 15-year-old is going to be different from talking with a 4-year-old. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-climate-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers\">NASP\u003c/a> has this advice on how to explain traumas, especially in schools, to different age groups:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Early elementary school children\u003c/strong> need brief, simple information that should be balanced with reassurances that their schools and homes are safe and that adults are there to protect them. Give simple examples of school safety like reminding children about exterior doors being locked, child monitoring efforts on the playground, and emergency drills practiced during the school day.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Upper elementary and early middle school children\u003c/strong> will be more vocal in asking questions about whether they truly are safe and what is being done at their school. They may need assistance separating reality from fantasy. Discuss efforts of school and community leaders to provide safe schools.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Upper middle school and high school students\u003c/strong> will have strong and varying opinions about the causes of violence in schools and society. They will share concrete suggestions about how to make school safer and how to prevent tragedies in society. Emphasize the role that students have in maintaining safe schools by following school safety guidelines (e.g., not providing building access to strangers, reporting strangers on campus, reporting threats to the school safety made by students or community members, etc.), communicating any personal safety concerns to school administrators, and accessing support for emotional needs.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teens need guidance from their parents, too, especially since they’re absorbing the chatter on social media networks and direct messages from friends. Kids with phones will likely see graphic images through friends and news updates, which can create added trauma and anxiety. \u003ca href=\"https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/explaining-the-news-to-our-kids\">Common Sense Media advises parents to check in\u003c/a> on their teens:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since, in many instances, teens will have absorbed the news independently of you, talking with them can offer great insights into their developing politics and their senses of justice and morality. It will also help you get a sense of what they already know or have learned about the situation from their own social networks. It will also give you the opportunity to throw your own insights into the mix (just don’t dismiss theirs, since that will shut down the conversation immediately).”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Maintain a normal routine\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Brock said, to the extent that it’s possible, maintain a normal routine. This will be helpful for the kid who’s frightened or anxious about a traumatic event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more typical the routine, the more reassuring it can be,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story contains reporting by the Associated Press, and KQED’s Carly Severn and Spencer Whitney also contributed to this story.

They said many conservatives took a signal from Trump’s refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 presidential election and, like liberal states during the Trump administration, are picking up the mantle to lead a political resistance — which they believe, in many cases, has gone too far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve seen a lot of these people really thumb their nose at the rule of law,” Min said. “They’re trying to get around that through sneaky little tactics.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservative politicians counter that they are simply reacting to a state government that has pushed much further left than their constituents by listening to the LGBTQ rights movement and other activists rather than the people who elected them.

Gavin Newsom, who has until Sept. 30 to decide whether to sign them into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic governor hasn’t weighed in on most of the bills, but he \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-legislature-budget-deficit-gavin-newsom-26079531ee8a76144d0c485a9688d744\">signed a $297.9 billion budget\u003c/a> in June that included up to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-budget-black-25a4e549c64fafde3f71f77c201b3030\">$12 million for reparations legislation\u003c/a>. However the budget did not specify what proposals the money would be used for, and his administration has signaled its opposition to some of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom approved a law in 2020 creating a first-in-the-nation task force to study reparations proposals. New York state and Illinois have since followed suit with similar legislation. The California group \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-slavery-apology-0108745176cc1fd60eb036fba112f72b\">released a final report\u003c/a> last year with more than 100 recommendations for lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom signed a law last month requiring school districts that receive state funding for a career education program to collect data on the performance of participating students by race and gender. The legislation, part of a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-reparations-compensation-slavery-c3b8d7a4de973adf218b93e396af8fe1\">reparations package\u003c/a> backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus, aims to help address gaps in student outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the most significant bills lawmakers approved this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Returning seized property\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill on the return of land or compensation to families whose property was taken unfairly through racially discriminatory means using eminent domain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The topic garnered renewed attention in California when Los Angeles-area officials \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-climate-and-environment-government-politics-a5bebc8ede6fad0e11dacce9350c6b2d\">returned a beachfront property\u003c/a> in 2022 to a Black couple decades after it was seized from their ancestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newsom administration’s Department of Finance opposes the bill. The agency says the cost to implement it is unknown but could “range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to low millions of dollars annually, depending on the workload required to accept, review, and investigate applications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not immediately clear how the initiative would be enacted even if Newsom signs it into law, after lawmakers dropped the measure to create an agency to implement it. That proposal would have formed a genealogy office to help Black Californians research their family lineage and verify their eligibility for any reparations that become law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-0 pb-2 ap-font-bold\">Formal apology\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California would accept responsibility and formally apologize for its role in perpetuating segregation, economic disparities and discrimination against Black Americans under another bill the Legislature approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation requires the secretary of state to send a final copy of the apology to the state archives, where it could be viewed by the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apology would say that the state “affirms its role in protecting the descendants of enslaved people and all Black Californians as well as their civil, political, and sociocultural rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Trân Nguyễn contributed to this report.

Both face mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering charges, U.S. Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey announced Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an indictment returned by a federal grand jury on July 9, the pair allegedly “conspired to defraud an insurance company by submitting a fraudulent insurance claim on a wrecked car that Badillo purchased in June 2019.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The car was undrivable and severely damaged when Badillo bought it. Najarro obtained an insurance policy for it and, one month later, falsely reported that it had been in a single-car accident, prosecutors said.

Additionally, more small and mid-size apartments could be built in single-family neighborhoods. Legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021 allows homeowners to divide a single-family lot into as many as four units in some cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karlinsky said if done many times, these conversions could contribute substantially to the housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many policy levers that can be pulled to help the region and the state kind of get out of this situation and enable people to live in safe, decent, affordable housing,” she told KQED. “It’s just really a matter of political will to make those things happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
