"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Credit: Michael Barnes)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few years later, Gomez is in many ways the kind of success story Heald trumpets in its ads. He wanted an IT degree and he got one. He wanted a better-paying job and he got one, with help from several Heald career service advisors. He got hired to do desktop support for the drug maker Genentech, for $25.50 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did Gomez need a degree for that? \"I don’t even know if I’m actually putting it to use,\" Gomez says, \"because I don’t even know if the job description even requires it. At least I’m getting more money. That’s all I care [about], ‘cause you gotta pay the bills.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez owes about $27,000. That's three times what it would have cost him to get an associate of applied science degree at a community college in California. Gomez says now he should have done some more research before he signed on for three loans with Corinthian's preferred private lender, \u003ca href=\"http://genesis-fs.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genesis Financial Solutions\u003c/a>. But he also says nobody at Heald told him what the loans would add up to in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some Debt Relief\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp id=\"MNGiSection\">Is there some hope of debt relief for students? U.S. Education Department officials stipulated some student debt relief as part of Corinthian's \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/11/21/guaranty-agency-buys-most-crumbling-profit-corinthian-colleges-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase agreement with that loan servicer\u003c/a> announced last week. Corinthian has agreed to forgive all of the estimated $4 million in private debt still on its books, as soon as the sale closes, possibly in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that mean Josh Gomez is off the hook? It depends. Only if his loans haven’t been resold yet. Debt, including student debt, is a commodity. The $4 million is a small fraction of loans racked up by Corinthian students. While the company argues the ECMC deal spares students disruption and allows those still in school to finish their degrees, there are others who argue it would be better for Corinthian schools to collapse completely. That way, students could apply for what's called a \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/closed-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed school discharge\u003c/a>. But then the federal government might be on the hook for more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/files/Corinthian%20filing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1 billion\u003c/a> in discharged student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan id=\"mn_Global\">\u003cspan id=\"MNGiSection\">In the meantime, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which signed off on the ECMC deal, \u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201409_cfpb_complaint_corinthian.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">is still suing\u003c/a> Corinthian \u003cspan id=\"mn_Global\">\u003cspan id=\"MNGiSection\">to wipe away $569 million in outstanding private debt held by tens of thousands of current and former students. A Corinthian spokesman says the company is contesting the suit and will continue to do so while it still stands.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Credit: Michael Barnes)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few years later, Gomez is in many ways the kind of success story Heald trumpets in its ads. He wanted an IT degree and he got one. He wanted a better-paying job and he got one, with help from several Heald career service advisors. He got hired to do desktop support for the drug maker Genentech, for $25.50 an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did Gomez need a degree for that? \"I don’t even know if I’m actually putting it to use,\" Gomez says, \"because I don’t even know if the job description even requires it. At least I’m getting more money. That’s all I care [about], ‘cause you gotta pay the bills.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez owes about $27,000. That's three times what it would have cost him to get an associate of applied science degree at a community college in California. Gomez says now he should have done some more research before he signed on for three loans with Corinthian's preferred private lender, \u003ca href=\"http://genesis-fs.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genesis Financial Solutions\u003c/a>. But he also says nobody at Heald told him what the loans would add up to in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Some Debt Relief\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp id=\"MNGiSection\">Is there some hope of debt relief for students? U.S. Education Department officials stipulated some student debt relief as part of Corinthian's \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/11/21/guaranty-agency-buys-most-crumbling-profit-corinthian-colleges-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">purchase agreement with that loan servicer\u003c/a> announced last week. Corinthian has agreed to forgive all of the estimated $4 million in private debt still on its books, as soon as the sale closes, possibly in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that mean Josh Gomez is off the hook? It depends. Only if his loans haven’t been resold yet. Debt, including student debt, is a commodity. The $4 million is a small fraction of loans racked up by Corinthian students. While the company argues the ECMC deal spares students disruption and allows those still in school to finish their degrees, there are others who argue it would be better for Corinthian schools to collapse completely. That way, students could apply for what's called a \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/closed-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed school discharge\u003c/a>. But then the federal government might be on the hook for more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/files/Corinthian%20filing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1 billion\u003c/a> in discharged student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan id=\"mn_Global\">\u003cspan id=\"MNGiSection\">In the meantime, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which signed off on the ECMC deal, \u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201409_cfpb_complaint_corinthian.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">is still suing\u003c/a> Corinthian \u003cspan id=\"mn_Global\">\u003cspan id=\"MNGiSection\">to wipe away $569 million in outstanding private debt held by tens of thousands of current and former students. A Corinthian spokesman says the company is contesting the suit and will continue to do so while it still stands.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Brown Jr. today announced Leondra R. Kruger as his choice for associate justice of the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leondra R. Kruger, 38, of Washington, D.C., has served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Counsel since 2013. She served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General and as Acting Principal Deputy Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Solicitor General from 2007 to 2013. While serving in that office, she argued 12 cases on behalf of the federal government before the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leondra Kruger is a distinguished lawyer and uncommon student of the law,” said Governor Brown. “She has won the respect of eminent jurists, scholars and practitioners alike.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply honored by Governor Brown’s nomination,” said Kruger. “I look forward to returning home to California and, if confirmed, serving the people of California on our state’s highest court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kruger was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School in 2007 and an associate at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr LLP from 2004 to 2006. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable John Paul Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court from 2003 to 2004 and to the Honorable David S. Tatel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2002 to 2003. Kruger was an associate at Jenner and Block LLP from 2001 to 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am delighted to congratulate Leondra Kruger on her nomination to the California Supreme Court,” said U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. “Leondra is an extraordinarily talented attorney who has been a leader within the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and Office of the Solicitor General. Her remarkable judgment, tireless work ethic, and dedication to the highest ideals of public service have marked her as one of the foremost leaders of her profession. I am certain that she will be an excellent and thoughtful Supreme Court Justice who will serve the people of California with distinction for many years. I will miss working with Leondra, but I am proud to join my colleagues in wishing her all the best as she begins a new chapter in her already extraordinary career.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… Kruger earned a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, where she was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, where she graduated magna cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Kruger was born and raised in the Los Angeles area. She is a member of the State Bar of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leondra is an exemplary, outstanding graduate of the Yale Law School,” said Yale Law School Dean and Sol and Lillian Goldman Professor of Law Robert Post. “She has a proven track-record of exceptional public service and achievement. I am confident that she shall become a superb Justice, a magnificent fiduciary for the laws and welfare of the people of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kruger will replace Associate Justice Joyce L. Kennard, who retired from the court earlier this year. The compensation for this position is $225,342.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Governor’s nomination must be submitted to the State Bar’s Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation and confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments. The Commission on Judicial Appointments consists of Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and senior presiding justice of the state Court of Appeal Joan Dempsey Klein.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Brown Jr. today announced Leondra R. Kruger as his choice for associate justice of the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leondra R. Kruger, 38, of Washington, D.C., has served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Counsel since 2013. She served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General and as Acting Principal Deputy Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Solicitor General from 2007 to 2013. While serving in that office, she argued 12 cases on behalf of the federal government before the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leondra Kruger is a distinguished lawyer and uncommon student of the law,” said Governor Brown. “She has won the respect of eminent jurists, scholars and practitioners alike.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am deeply honored by Governor Brown’s nomination,” said Kruger. “I look forward to returning home to California and, if confirmed, serving the people of California on our state’s highest court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kruger was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School in 2007 and an associate at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr LLP from 2004 to 2006. She served as a law clerk to the Honorable John Paul Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court from 2003 to 2004 and to the Honorable David S. Tatel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2002 to 2003. Kruger was an associate at Jenner and Block LLP from 2001 to 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am delighted to congratulate Leondra Kruger on her nomination to the California Supreme Court,” said U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. “Leondra is an extraordinarily talented attorney who has been a leader within the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and Office of the Solicitor General. Her remarkable judgment, tireless work ethic, and dedication to the highest ideals of public service have marked her as one of the foremost leaders of her profession. I am certain that she will be an excellent and thoughtful Supreme Court Justice who will serve the people of California with distinction for many years. I will miss working with Leondra, but I am proud to join my colleagues in wishing her all the best as she begins a new chapter in her already extraordinary career.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… Kruger earned a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School, where she was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University, where she graduated magna cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Kruger was born and raised in the Los Angeles area. She is a member of the State Bar of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Leondra is an exemplary, outstanding graduate of the Yale Law School,” said Yale Law School Dean and Sol and Lillian Goldman Professor of Law Robert Post. “She has a proven track-record of exceptional public service and achievement. I am confident that she shall become a superb Justice, a magnificent fiduciary for the laws and welfare of the people of California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kruger will replace Associate Justice Joyce L. Kennard, who retired from the court earlier this year. The compensation for this position is $225,342.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Governor’s nomination must be submitted to the State Bar’s Commission on Judicial Nominees Evaluation and confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments. The Commission on Judicial Appointments consists of Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris and senior presiding justice of the state Court of Appeal Joan Dempsey Klein.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Retired offensive lineman Jeremy Newberry said that because of the drugs he took while playing, he suffers from kidney failure, high blood pressure and violent headaches. On game days, Newberry said, he and up to 25 of his San Francisco 49ers teammates would retreat to the locker room to receive Toradol injections in the buttocks 10 minutes before kickoff.

When pressed, Harbaugh said the 49ers were an \"open book\" in terms of the team's handling of prescription painkillers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, as the conversation continued, Harbaugh was asked again about reports that teams have routinely administered powerful painkillers to allow players to take the field.

I made my point. I think we've plowed this ground as thoroughly as we can plow. It's plowed, it's been seeded, and now it's grown. It's well documented.

Retired offensive lineman Jeremy Newberry said that because of the drugs he took while playing, he suffers from kidney failure, high blood pressure and violent headaches. On game days, Newberry said, he and up to 25 of his San Francisco 49ers teammates would retreat to the locker room to receive Toradol injections in the buttocks 10 minutes before kickoff. Toradol, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, numbed the pain almost instantaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Agents are currently interviewing NFL team doctors in several locations as part of an ongoing investigation into potential violations of the federal drug law.'\u003ccite>Rusty Payne,\u003cbr>\nDEA spokesman\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The league has moved to dismiss the suit, which now includes 1,300 former players as plaintiffs.

He argued the ordinance simply fills a gap in \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs#9\" target=\"_blank\">an existing state ban\u003c/a> on selling, making and transporting magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fit is exactly what was left out by state law,\" Thompson said. \"They tried to make their community a little safer by restricting possession of these more lethal large-capacity magazines.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told the panel: \"This simply is a modest incremental regulation that the citizens of Sunnyvale approved to protect themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, a federal appeals ruling might be expected in the next three to 12 months.

If we're gonna get the information and we're going to use it, how are we going to protect people's privacy? How long are we going to keep it for? Who's going to have access to it?

But the ACLU's Nicole Ozer says too often these communities didn't have a public conversation about whether or \u003ci>how\u003c/i> to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They weren't thinking through the costs and benefits, and they didn't have rules in place to try and prevent uses that nobody wanted to happen,\" Ozer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, she says, debate occurred only \u003ci>after\u003c/i> the public or the media got wind that a local law enforcement agency was considering the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
