She has rappelled down into caves and gone up in helicopters for KQED’s The California Report but her favorite place to pursue a story is the High Sierra or any family-run bakery, of course. Alice has a masters in journalism from Columbia University and teaches at Fresno State. She is a California Healthline Regional Correspondent and a frequent contributor to Success magazine. In her free time, she skis and hikes, throws pottery, practices piano and looks out the window.",

That's a downward revision from earlier statements by state officials that at least 13 people had died and 20 wounded. It's not clear whether the shooter, who was killed in a gunfight with police officers, is included in that toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several news outlets, among them The New York Times, have identified the gunman in the attack as Chris Harper Mercer, 26, from the Roseburg area. The Times, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/live/shooting-at-umpqua-community-college/gunman-identified-as-chris-harper-mercer/\" target=\"_blank\">citing unidentified law enforcment officials\u003c/a>, says Mercer had three weapons -- both handguns and at least one long gun.

As he noted, he's done this before. Mass shootings have become embedded in the arc of Obama's presidency. He's traveled to Aurora, Colorado; Tucson, Arizona; Charleston, South Carolina, and numerous other cities to mourn victims of gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama said the nation's response to mass shootings has become routine — from the reporting by the media, to his own comments, to the opposition to gun control laws aimed at deterring the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've become numb to this,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama at times spoke with anger in his voice and the muscles in his jaw tensed up as he seemed to struggle to find the right words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said it's clear that anyone responsible for such carnage has a sickness in his mind. He said other nations also have mentally ill residents who want to harm others, but the United States is alone in the sheer depth of the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are the only advanced country on earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has sought changes in the nation's gun laws, though it's unclear at this initial stage of the investigation whether the changes often proposed — such as expanded background checks, stricter magazine limits and an assault weapons ban — would have prevented Thursday's massacre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope and pray that I don't have to come out again during my tenure as president to offer my condolences to families in these circumstances,\" Obama said. \"But based on my experience as president, I can't guarantee that.

The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away, Moore said. Moore was lying there with people who had been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brady Winder, 23, of Portland, said he was in the room next door when he heard a loud thud that didn’t sound like a gunshot.

Miles said they heard a sound next door that sounded like a yardstick slapping on a chalkboard. Then they heard the noise again. A teacher went to see if everything was all right, at which point it went off repeatedly and someone said everybody get out now. They got out as quickly as possible. They left everything behind.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the latest writethrough on the Roseburg shooting from the Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"aproseburg\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>By Jeff Barnard and Gosia Wozniaka\u003cbr>\nAssociated Press\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ROSEBURG, Oregon -- A gunman opened fire at a rural Oregon community college Thursday, killing at least nine people before dying in a shootout with police, authorities said. One survivor said he demanded his victims state their religion before he started shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The killer, identified only as a 20-year-old man, invaded a classroom at Umpqua Community College in the small timber town of Roseburg, about 180 miles south of Portland. Authorities shed no light on his motive and said they were investigating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said 10 people were dead and seven wounded after the attack. He did not clarify whether the number of dead included the gunman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said 13 people were killed. It was unclear what led to the discrepancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's been a terrible day,\" a grim-faced Hanlin said. \"Certainly this is a huge shock to our community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after the attack, a visibly angry President Obama spoke to reporters at the White House, saying the U.S. is becoming numb to mass shootings and that the shooters have \"sickness\" in their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repeating his support for tighter gun-control measures, the president said thoughts and prayers are no longer enough in such situations because they do nothing to stop similar attacks from happening a few weeks or months later. He challenged voters wanting to confront the problem to vote for elected officials who will act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police began receiving calls about a campus shooting at 10:38 a.m. The school has a single unarmed security guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kortney Moore, 18, said she was in a freshman writing class when a shot came through the window and hit the teacher in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gunman then entered the Snyder Hall classroom and told people to get on the floor, she told the Roseburg News-Review newspaper. He told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next door, students heard a loud thud and then a volley of gunfire, Brady Winder, 23, told the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students scrambled \"like ants, people screaming, 'Get out!'\" Winder said. He said one woman swam across a creek to get away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff said officers had a shootout with the gunman, but it was not clear if he was killed by authorities or whether he took his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gunfire sparked panic as students ran for safety and police and ambulances rushed to the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lorie Andrews, who lives across the street from the campus, heard what sounded like fireworks and then saw police cruisers streaming in. She spoke with students as they left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One girl came out wrapped in a blanket with blood on her,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students were in tears as they left. Police lined up students in a parking lot with their hands over their heads and searched them before they were bused with faculty to the nearby county fairgrounds, where counselors were available and some parents waited for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Chandler of Myrtle Creek, south of Roseburg, was at the fairgrounds desperately seeking information about her 18-year-old daughter, Rebecka Carnes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know where she is. I don't know if she's wounded. I have no idea where she's at,\" Chandler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carnes' best friend told Chandler that her daughter had been flown by helicopter to a hospital, but she had not been able to find her at area medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interim college President Rita Cavin said it was awful to watch families waiting for the last bus of survivors and their loved ones were not on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a tragedy and an anomaly,\" she said. \"We have a wonderful, warm, loving and friendly campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, Oregon, said four of the wounded were hospitalized there and were expected to survive. Three other patients were transferred to a hospital in Springfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff described the town of 22,000 as a peaceful community that has crime like any other. In fact, it's no stranger to school gun violence. A freshman at the local high school shot and wounded a fellow student in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff has been vocal in opposing state and federal gun-control legislation. Earlier this year, he testified against a bill to require background checks on private, person-to-person gun sales and told a legislative committee in March that a background-check mandate would not prevent criminals from getting firearms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the state should combat gun violence by cracking down on convicted criminals found with guns, and by addressing people with unmanaged mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Hanlin also sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden after the shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school, declaring that he and his deputies would refuse to enforce new gun-control restrictions \"offending the constitutional rights of my citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the shooting, a posting on the message-board site 4chan included a photo of a crudely drawn frog used regularly in Internet memes with a gun and warned other users not to go to school Thursday in the Northwest. The messages that followed spoke of mass shootings, with some egging on and even offering tips to the original poster. It's unclear if the messages are tied to the shooting because of the largely anonymous nature of the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community along Interstate 5 west of the Cascade Mountains is in an area where the timber industry has struggled.

One survivor said he demanded his victims state their religion before he started shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The killer, identified only as a 20-year-old man, invaded a classroom at Umpqua Community College in the small timber town of Roseburg, about 180 miles south of Portland. Authorities shed no light on his motive and said they were investigating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said 10 people were dead and seven wounded after the attack. He did not clarify whether the number of dead included the gunman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said 13 people were killed. It was unclear what led to the discrepancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's been a terrible day,\" a grim-faced Hanlin said. \"Certainly this is a huge shock to our community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours after the attack, a visibly angry President Obama spoke to reporters at the White House, saying the U.S. is becoming numb to mass shootings and that the shooters have \"sickness\" in their minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repeating his support for tighter gun-control measures, the president said thoughts and prayers are no longer enough in such situations because they do nothing to stop similar attacks from happening a few weeks or months later. He challenged voters wanting to confront the problem to vote for elected officials who will act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police began receiving calls about a campus shooting at 10:38 a.m. The school has a single unarmed security guard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kortney Moore, 18, said she was in a freshman writing class when a shot came through the window and hit the teacher in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gunman then entered the Snyder Hall classroom and told people to get on the floor, she told the Roseburg News-Review newspaper. He told people to stand up and state their religion before opening fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next door, students heard a loud thud and then a volley of gunfire, Brady Winder, 23, told the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students scrambled \"like ants, people screaming, 'Get out!'\" Winder said. He said one woman swam across a creek to get away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff said officers had a shootout with the gunman, but it was not clear if he was killed by authorities or whether he took his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gunfire sparked panic as students ran for safety and police and ambulances rushed to the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lorie Andrews, who lives across the street from the campus, heard what sounded like fireworks and then saw police cruisers streaming in. She spoke with students as they left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One girl came out wrapped in a blanket with blood on her,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students were in tears as they left. Police lined up students in a parking lot with their hands over their heads and searched them before they were bused with faculty to the nearby county fairgrounds, where counselors were available and some parents waited for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Chandler of Myrtle Creek, south of Roseburg, was at the fairgrounds desperately seeking information about her 18-year-old daughter, Rebecka Carnes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know where she is. I don't know if she's wounded. I have no idea where she's at,\" Chandler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carnes' best friend told Chandler that her daughter had been flown by helicopter to a hospital, but she had not been able to find her at area medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interim college President Rita Cavin said it was awful to watch families waiting for the last bus of survivors and their loved ones were not on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a tragedy and an anomaly,\" she said. \"We have a wonderful, warm, loving and friendly campus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, Oregon, said four of the wounded were hospitalized there and were expected to survive. Three other patients were transferred to a hospital in Springfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff described the town of 22,000 as a peaceful community that has crime like any other. In fact, it's no stranger to school gun violence. A freshman at the local high school shot and wounded a fellow student in 2006.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff has been vocal in opposing state and federal gun-control legislation. Earlier this year, he testified against a bill to require background checks on private, person-to-person gun sales and told a legislative committee in March that a background-check mandate would not prevent criminals from getting firearms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the state should combat gun violence by cracking down on convicted criminals found with guns, and by addressing people with unmanaged mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Hanlin also sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden after the shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school, declaring that he and his deputies would refuse to enforce new gun-control restrictions \"offending the constitutional rights of my citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the shooting, a posting on the message-board site 4chan included a photo of a crudely drawn frog used regularly in Internet memes with a gun and warned other users not to go to school Thursday in the Northwest. The messages that followed spoke of mass shootings, with some egging on and even offering tips to the original poster. It's unclear if the messages are tied to the shooting because of the largely anonymous nature of the site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community along Interstate 5 west of the Cascade Mountains is in an area where the timber industry has struggled. In recent years, officials have tried to promote the region as a tourist destination for vineyards and outdoor activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the students in local school district go on to attend the college of 3,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a small, tight community, and there is no doubt that we will have staff and students that have family and friends impacted by this event,\" Roseburg Public Schools Superintendent Gerry Washburn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former UCC President Joe Olson, who retired in June after four years, said the school had no formal security staff, just one officer on a shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest debates on campus last year was whether to post armed security officers on campus to respond to a shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I suspect this is going to start a discussion across the country about how community colleges prepare themselves for events like this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no immediate plans to upgrade security on the campus in light of the shooting, Cavin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Ten black women and a white woman kicked off the Napa Valley Wine Train in August have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit alleging the train’s operators violated their civil rights, libeled and defamed them, and subjected them to humiliating treatment simply because they were enjoying themselves. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit (\u003ca href=\"#winetrainsuit\">embedded below\u003c/a>) was filed in a San Francisco federal court by civil rights attorney Waukeen McCoy. The action names the wine train, its owners and three employees as defendants and seeks $11 million in damages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said in a statement issued by crisis public relations specialist Sam Singer that it takes allegations of discrimination very seriously and has hired a former FBI agent to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/222190585″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs, whose ages range from 36 to 85, are all members of a book club called Sistahs on the Reading Edge that had booked the Aug. 22 excursion in part to discuss recent reading and in part to celebrate a member’s birthday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group’s trip began in Napa but quickly soured, the lawsuit says, when a member of the train staff confronted them repeatedly and warned the women they were too loud. The complaint says that one white passenger told book group leader Lisa Renee Johnson, “This is not a bar.” The group’s trip ended prematurely in St. Helena, where the 11 women were marched past other passengers and handed over to police officers waiting at trackside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The train company initially published a Facebook post accusing the group of “verbal and physical abuse toward other guests and staff.” But the company removed the post as Johnson published her own accounts of the episode on Facebook and Twitter. The train’s CEO subsequently apologized and declared the company had been “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/25/napa-wine-train-says-it-was-100-wrong-to-kick-black-women-off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100 percent wrong\u003c/a>” to kick Johnson and the others off the train. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that the women witnessed “multiple groups of Caucasians who were inebriated and acting boisterous” who were not put off the train, the suit alleges the group’s ejection is part of a broad pattern of discriminatory treatment: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Kicking the plaintiffs off the train gave white privilege to the passenger who verbally complained in the bar car. Clearly, this passenger did not want to share her space with these women and was treated more favorably by defendants’ decision to remove all eleven plaintiffs from the train. This action shows that African Americans are policed by other patrons and by management in restaurants, theaters, and public places. African American adults are more likely to be shushed, stared at, and kicked out of places where white people perceive that they do not fit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiffs’ money was not as valuable to defendants as was the comfort of their Caucasian passengers. Defendants would rather kick plaintiffs off the train than keep their money on the train. Plaintiffs’ money was not treated with equal value. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The suit also says two members of the book club were dismissed from their jobs because of the wine train’s Facebook post accusing the group of verbal and physical abuse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said at a Thursday press conference announcing the lawsuit that getting kicked off the train “was the most humiliating experience that I have ever had in my entire life. This is 2015, and this just cannot happen again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from the Associated Press writeup on the lawsuit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Katherine Neal, 85, the oldest woman in the group, said she was reminded of when she was about 12 and a store clerk asked her to eat her ice cream outside while white families ate inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I took this case because it’s an egregious case,” said McCoy, the women’s attorney. “This lawsuit highlights that blacks are still being treated differently in America.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"winetrainsuit\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/283393687/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_5074\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The action names the wine train, its owners and three employees as defendants and seeks $11 million in damages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company said in a statement issued by crisis public relations specialist Sam Singer that it takes allegations of discrimination very seriously and has hired a former FBI agent to investigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”166″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/222190585″&visual=true&”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/222190585″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs, whose ages range from 36 to 85, are all members of a book club called Sistahs on the Reading Edge that had booked the Aug. 22 excursion in part to discuss recent reading and in part to celebrate a member’s birthday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The complaint says that one white passenger told book group leader Lisa Renee Johnson, “This is not a bar.” The group’s trip ended prematurely in St. Helena, where the 11 women were marched past other passengers and handed over to police officers waiting at trackside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The train company initially published a Facebook post accusing the group of “verbal and physical abuse toward other guests and staff.” But the company removed the post as Johnson published her own accounts of the episode on Facebook and Twitter. The train’s CEO subsequently apologized and declared the company had been “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/25/napa-wine-train-says-it-was-100-wrong-to-kick-black-women-off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100 percent wrong\u003c/a>” to kick Johnson and the others off the train. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that the women witnessed “multiple groups of Caucasians who were inebriated and acting boisterous” who were not put off the train, the suit alleges the group’s ejection is part of a broad pattern of discriminatory treatment: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Kicking the plaintiffs off the train gave white privilege to the passenger who verbally complained in the bar car. Clearly, this passenger did not want to share her space with these women and was treated more favorably by defendants’ decision to remove all eleven plaintiffs from the train. This action shows that African Americans are policed by other patrons and by management in restaurants, theaters, and public places. African American adults are more likely to be shushed, stared at, and kicked out of places where white people perceive that they do not fit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plaintiffs’ money was not as valuable to defendants as was the comfort of their Caucasian passengers. Defendants would rather kick plaintiffs off the train than keep their money on the train. Plaintiffs’ money was not treated with equal value. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The suit also says two members of the book club were dismissed from their jobs because of the wine train’s Facebook post accusing the group of verbal and physical abuse. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said at a Thursday press conference announcing the lawsuit that getting kicked off the train “was the most humiliating experience that I have ever had in my entire life. This is 2015, and this just cannot happen again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from the Associated Press writeup on the lawsuit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Katherine Neal, 85, the oldest woman in the group, said she was reminded of when she was about 12 and a store clerk asked her to eat her ice cream outside while white families ate inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I took this case because it’s an egregious case,” said McCoy, the women’s attorney. “This lawsuit highlights that blacks are still being treated differently in America.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"winetrainsuit\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/283393687/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_5074\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Jerry Brown's attempt to comply with a federal court order to lower the state prison population without the wholesale early release of prisoners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change in the law allowed nonviolent offenders to serve their time in local jails instead of state prisons, and shifted responsibility for many getting out of prison to local probation departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics warned the plan would be a public safety disaster -- in the words of one Republican lawmaker, \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/nov05election/2011/04/13/gov-gets-cops-nod-to-move-cons-to-jails-gop-says-blood-on-streets/\" target=\"_blank\">leading to \"blood in the streets.\" \u003c/a>But a new report from the respected Public Policy Institute of California shows the policy shift has largely achieved its goals without many negative consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_quick.asp?i=1164\" target=\"_blank\">The report\u003c/a> finds that realignment, four years later, significantly reduced the prison population -- though not quite enough to comply with the federal court order to bring prisons to 137 percent of capacity (they had been at more than 200 percent of capacity).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/226121332\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But combined with other changes -- including two voter-approved ballot measures that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Prop-36-Three-strikes-changes-approved-4014677.php\" target=\"_blank\">softened the state's three strikes law \u003c/a>and reduced some felonies to misdemeanors -- the state has been within compliance since January. Last year's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/22/proposition-47-gives-former-felons-a-new-chance\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 47\u003c/a>, which reduced certain felony offenses to misdemeanors, has also helped jails that swelled to capacity because of realignment return to more manageable population levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We had an over-reliance on incarceration.' \u003ccite>PPIC report author Magnus Lofstrom\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Now prisons are at population levels not seen in 20 years -- before California voters and lawmakers embraced a series of harsh sentencing laws -- while crime rates remain at historic lows, the report states. In all, 18,000 inmates who would have been incarcerated are outside prison walls because of realignment, the report found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PPIC's Magnus Lofstrom said the findings are a vindication of not only realignment but the state's overall shift in criminal justice policies in recent years, away from punishment and toward rehabilitation. He credited counties, many of which have embraced progressive re-entry programs and other research-backed methods, for making changes that have helped keep the public safe and more former offenders out of trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had an over-reliance on incarceration\" prior to realignment, he said. \"We now need to take a closer look at the variety of strategies that counties are implementing to learn what works well and what doesn't work, and determine to what extent we can replicate those efforts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been one big crime jump, he said: auto thefts. Still, his research found that overall, locking up people isn't cost effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you spend one additional dollar on incarceration, the crime savings you can expect is only 23 cents,\" he said, adding that counties should instead look at putting more police on the streets, and investing in programs such as cognitive behavioral therapy for offenders, early childhood programs and targeted intervention for high-risk youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing the program hasn't done: Reduce prison spending. The state prison budget is $10 billion more than it was the year before realignment was instated, and the state is spending $1 billion to help counties cope with the effects of realignment.

Still, his research found that overall, locking up people isn't cost effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you spend one additional dollar on incarceration, the crime savings you can expect is only 23 cents,\" he said, adding that counties should instead look at putting more police on the streets, and investing in programs such as cognitive behavioral therapy for offenders, early childhood programs and targeted intervention for high-risk youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing the program hasn't done: Reduce prison spending. The state prison budget is $10 billion more than it was the year before realignment was instated, and the state is spending $1 billion to help counties cope with the effects of realignment.

Wells Fargo has been a part of the Oakland community for more than 140 years and we will vigorously defend our record as a fair and responsible lender. We will continue to focus on helping customers in Oakland and its surrounding communities succeed financially, and on expanding homeownership in California and across the United States.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Christopher Palmer, of the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, says there's no doubt the housing crisis hit minorities hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Subprime lending was much more prevalent among blacks and Hispanics,\" Palmer says. \"That's just a fact that just jumps out of the data.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the data on their own don't necessarily mean the city can prove there was an abusive pattern that violated fair housing laws, according to Palmer. However, while proving these cases can be difficult, there have been a \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/03/wells-fargo-loans-lawsuit_n_6261356.html\" target=\"_blank\">number of lawsuits\u003c/a> filed against banks in recent years, including some by the Department of Justice, that have resulted in hefty settlements. In a very similar case in Baltimore in 2012, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-07-12/news/bs-md-ci-wells-fargo-20120712_1_mike-heid-wells-fargo-home-mortgage-subprime-mortgages\" target=\"_blank\">Wells Fargo settled\u003c/a> with the U.S. Department of Justice for more than $175 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those settlements, Parker says, are part of the reason Oakland is joining with other cities — \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-wells-fargo-suit-20150505-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">including Los Angeles\u003c/a> -- in taking on Wells Fargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Stein, with the advocacy group California Reinvestment Coalition, says that in many ways cities are turning to the courts as a last resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think local governments, local jurisdictions, have been trying to deal with the crisis, because they see it had not been dealt with at the federal and state level sufficiently,\" Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/12/wells-fargo-blamed-for-hampering-california-economy/oakland-wells-fargo-foreclosures\" target=\"_blank\">foreclosure crisis\u003c/a> hit cities like Oakland directly in their pocketbooks, Parker says, leaving the city — \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/12/wells-fargo-blamed-for-hampering-california-economy\" target=\"_blank\">and the state \u003c/a>— with a large gap in property tax revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein says cities like Oakland are caught in a bind — they are the places that feel the full weight of the housing crisis, yet they have no way to regulate or hold banks accountable. Not for lack of trying, according to Stein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2001, Oakland passed an anti-predatory lending ordinance. \"That ordinance,\" Stein says, \"would have restricted abusive lending practices. And if laws like that were in place throughout all of the cities in California, then we would not have had the crisis that we ultimately had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the law was challenged by the banking industry — and the California Supreme Court eventually \u003ca href=\"http://www.sheppardmullin.com/media/article/94_pub354.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">overturned the rule\u003c/a>, saying that the city did not have the authority to regulate banks in that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland isn't the only city that has tried to deal with the foreclosure crisis itself. Last year Richmond floated the idea of using \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/business/in-richmond-california-a-long-shot-against-blight.html?_r=1&mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\">eminent domain\u003c/a> to take back foreclosed and blighted houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo blocked that move with a lawsuit -- which Stein says basically amounted to a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In a way what they were arguing was the city of Richmond shouldn't be allowed to implement an eminent domain program, because the result of that would be that banks wouldn't lend in the city of Richmond,\" Stein says. \"Which is another way of saying, if you proceed with eminent domain, which we don't like -- we will redline your city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Which,\" Stein adds, \"is outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/the-racist-housing-policy-that-made-your-neighborhood/371439/\" target=\"_blank\">Redlining\u003c/a> is a practice, often thought of as in the past, that in effect cut off certain neighborhoods from receiving loans. And yes, those neighborhoods were largely populated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/\" target=\"_blank\">African-Americans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If redlining were a form of starving certain neighborhoods for credit, so-called predatory lending \u003cimg class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" alt=\"\">acted as a sort of reverse redlining, Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Neighborhoods that had been deprived of conventional low-cost credit were flooded with the opposite, with the converse, just before the crisis and have suffered as a result,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, Stein says, banks may be redlining again. \"In a way we've kind of come full circle,\" he says. \"What we're seeing now is kind of a return to redlining. In the best possible light, lenders are being more conservative in making loans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some cases in the courts claim something more nefarious than the pendulum swinging back from over-lending, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/11/business/dealbook/evans-bank-settles-new-york-redlining-lawsuit.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a recent case \u003c/a>in New York, and a case settled in 2001 in Michigan. The number of these \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/racial-discrimination-lending-feds-accuse-hudson-city-savings-bank-redlining-four-2112646\" target=\"_blank\">redlining cases\u003c/a> is growing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Stein is critical of Wells Fargo, he says it seems to have done good work in Oakland since the 2008 housing market collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel compelled to say that my understanding was that Wells was a decent partner, that some people in the city felt Wells was playing some constructive role,\" Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Parker says the lawsuit alleges that Wells Fargo is not only guilty of abusive lending in the past tense: It intends to show that predatory lending is still going on.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In a very similar case in Baltimore in 2012, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-07-12/news/bs-md-ci-wells-fargo-20120712_1_mike-heid-wells-fargo-home-mortgage-subprime-mortgages\" target=\"_blank\">Wells Fargo settled\u003c/a> with the U.S. Department of Justice for more than $175 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those settlements, Parker says, are part of the reason Oakland is joining with other cities — \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-wells-fargo-suit-20150505-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">including Los Angeles\u003c/a> -- in taking on Wells Fargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Stein, with the advocacy group California Reinvestment Coalition, says that in many ways cities are turning to the courts as a last resort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think local governments, local jurisdictions, have been trying to deal with the crisis, because they see it had not been dealt with at the federal and state level sufficiently,\" Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/12/wells-fargo-blamed-for-hampering-california-economy/oakland-wells-fargo-foreclosures\" target=\"_blank\">foreclosure crisis\u003c/a> hit cities like Oakland directly in their pocketbooks, Parker says, leaving the city — \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/12/wells-fargo-blamed-for-hampering-california-economy\" target=\"_blank\">and the state \u003c/a>— with a large gap in property tax revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein says cities like Oakland are caught in a bind — they are the places that feel the full weight of the housing crisis, yet they have no way to regulate or hold banks accountable. Not for lack of trying, according to Stein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2001, Oakland passed an anti-predatory lending ordinance. \"That ordinance,\" Stein says, \"would have restricted abusive lending practices. And if laws like that were in place throughout all of the cities in California, then we would not have had the crisis that we ultimately had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the law was challenged by the banking industry — and the California Supreme Court eventually \u003ca href=\"http://www.sheppardmullin.com/media/article/94_pub354.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">overturned the rule\u003c/a>, saying that the city did not have the authority to regulate banks in that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland isn't the only city that has tried to deal with the foreclosure crisis itself. Last year Richmond floated the idea of using \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/12/business/in-richmond-california-a-long-shot-against-blight.html?_r=1&mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\">eminent domain\u003c/a> to take back foreclosed and blighted houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo blocked that move with a lawsuit -- which Stein says basically amounted to a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In a way what they were arguing was the city of Richmond shouldn't be allowed to implement an eminent domain program, because the result of that would be that banks wouldn't lend in the city of Richmond,\" Stein says. \"Which is another way of saying, if you proceed with eminent domain, which we don't like -- we will redline your city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Which,\" Stein adds, \"is outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/the-racist-housing-policy-that-made-your-neighborhood/371439/\" target=\"_blank\">Redlining\u003c/a> is a practice, often thought of as in the past, that in effect cut off certain neighborhoods from receiving loans. And yes, those neighborhoods were largely populated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/\" target=\"_blank\">African-Americans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If redlining were a form of starving certain neighborhoods for credit, so-called predatory lending \u003cimg class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" alt=\"\">acted as a sort of reverse redlining, Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Neighborhoods that had been deprived of conventional low-cost credit were flooded with the opposite, with the converse, just before the crisis and have suffered as a result,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, Stein says, banks may be redlining again. \"In a way we've kind of come full circle,\" he says. \"What we're seeing now is kind of a return to redlining. In the best possible light, lenders are being more conservative in making loans.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some cases in the courts claim something more nefarious than the pendulum swinging back from over-lending, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/11/business/dealbook/evans-bank-settles-new-york-redlining-lawsuit.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a recent case \u003c/a>in New York, and a case settled in 2001 in Michigan. The number of these \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/racial-discrimination-lending-feds-accuse-hudson-city-savings-bank-redlining-four-2112646\" target=\"_blank\">redlining cases\u003c/a> is growing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Stein is critical of Wells Fargo, he says it seems to have done good work in Oakland since the 2008 housing market collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel compelled to say that my understanding was that Wells was a decent partner, that some people in the city felt Wells was playing some constructive role,\" Stein says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Making BHO also carries a drug manufacturing charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are coming across this with quite a bit more frequency,\" she said. \"They're extremely dangerous, they're highly volatile, and the explosion is absolutely dangerous for those involved and anyone living in that area as well.

Gov. Jerry Brown's office played a part in crafting the legislation and is expected to sign it, according to the head of California's branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Dale Gieringer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"DMQNSCjcNvTc0EhSnWHnZD200pi87bNP\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the potential changes is a provision that would require the state Department of Public Health to issue licenses for the manufacturer of products using volatile solvents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very good thing,\" Gieringer said. \"The future of the industry lies in extracts of various sorts.

Gov. Jerry Brown's office played a part in crafting the legislation and is expected to sign it, according to the head of California's branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Dale Gieringer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the potential changes is a provision that would require the state Department of Public Health to issue licenses for the manufacturer of products using volatile solvents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very good thing,\" Gieringer said. \"The future of the industry lies in extracts of various sorts. They don't have to be butane extracts; there are other forms.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said dosage for medical cannabis is much more precise via an electronic cigarette-type device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's much safer than smoking on the lung, and it's better than eating it, where dosage is always a problem,\" he said, adding that the cannabis e-cigarette cartridges typically contain concentrated THC oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's for the new regulations, and like law enforcement, strongly cautions against making BHO at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you're dealing with is lighter fluid or the gas you've got in your stove, and it's explosive,\" Gieringer said. \"Yes people are doing it.
