Ms. Holder stopped kicking the student and as she walked away, she called him a “stupid son of a bitch.” She said the epithet loudly enough that all of the instructional aides and the students were able to hear it.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The suit also alleged that school officials were aware of Holder’s violent behavior but failed to take appropriate action, including reporting abuse to police as required by state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/1jDQKKW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Contra Costa Times reports\u003c/a> that the school trustees of the Brentwood Unified School District voted unanimously Wednesday to approve the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

J.D. Nelson, whose agency is investigating the shooting, said the officers converged on the Park Sierra Apartments, at 6450 Dougherty Road, at just before 2 p.m. Tuesday. [According to Rainey, the officers were aware Lee was in custody and were looking for a stolen laptop computer, among other items.] They began their search by knocking twice on the door; each knock went unanswered, but the door was unlocked, so four BART officers including Smith stepped inside, Nelson said. Not knowing whether anyone was inside the single-story, one-bedroom apartment, the officers followed protocol and entered with their guns drawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nelson said that once inside, one of the officers fired a single shot from his weapon, wounding Smith in the upper body. Rainey said Smith was dressed in plainclothes and wore a bulletproof vest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith later died at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nelson said the officer who fired the shot has more than 10 years experience in law enforcement. Rainey said BART officers typically carry Glock semi-automatic handguns, although some are permitted to carry different weapons.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/BART-police-officer-shot-dead-by-colleague-in-5163548.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle reports\u003c/a> that suspect John Henry Lee was wanted for a series of robberies that occurred on BART property and that he'd been arrested last Thursday in Oakland: \"[Lee] was bitten by a police dog and arrested by San Leandro police Thursday after officials said he led officers on a 20-minute chase into Oakland.

Even our prior cases that rejected heightened scrutiny to classifications on the basis of sexual orientation have acknowledged that gay and lesbian individuals have experienced significant discrimination. In the first half of the twentieth century, public attention was preoccupied with homosexual “infiltration” of the federal government. Gays and lesbians were dismissed from civilian employment in the federal government at a rate of sixty per month. Discrimination in employment was not limited to the federal government; local and state governments also excluded homosexuals, and professional licensing boards often revoked licenses on account of homosexuality. In 1985, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in a case in which a woman had been fired from her job as a guidance counselor in a public school because of her sexuality. Indeed, gays and lesbians were thought to be so contrary to our conception of citizenship that they were made inadmissible under a provision of our immigration laws that required the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to exclude individuals “afflicted with psychopathic personality.” It was not until 1990 that the INS ceased to interpret that category as including gays and lesbians.

Its 39-page decision came in an antitrust and contract dispute between two rival drug companies over the price of a popular AIDS drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawyer for Abbott Laboratories used one of his allotted peremptory challenges to remove a potential juror who had referred to a male partner and having friends with AIDS during questioning. The jury that was eventually seated mostly ruled in favor of Abbott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the gay juror was taken off the case without justification, the 9th Circuit reversed the 2011 verdict and ordered a new trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Permitting a strike based on sexual orientation would send the false message that gays and lesbians could not be trusted to reason fairly on issues of great import to the community or the nation,\" Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the panel. \"Strikes based on preconceived notions of the identities, preferences, and biases of gays and lesbians reinforce and perpetuate these stereotypes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court prohibits lawyers from removing jurors based only on their race and gender and requires them to provide a neutral reason why they are eliminating someone if an opposing lawyer questions the move. But the high court has never ruled on whether those protections apply to sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case arose from a lawsuit SmithKline Beecham filed in 2007 after Abbott hiked the price of Norvir, a drug that SmithKline used in its AIDS cocktail under a licensing agreement. Both during jury selection and in its argument before the 9th Circuit, SmithKline argued the unnamed juror was taken off the jury because of the widespread negative publicity that the price hike received in the gay community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbott denied the allegation and said it had several reasons to remove the potential juror, which included his having a friend dying of AIDS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's today's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_82151\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/201274200/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Its 39-page decision came in an antitrust and contract dispute between two rival drug companies over the price of a popular AIDS drug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lawyer for Abbott Laboratories used one of his allotted peremptory challenges to remove a potential juror who had referred to a male partner and having friends with AIDS during questioning. The jury that was eventually seated mostly ruled in favor of Abbott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the gay juror was taken off the case without justification, the 9th Circuit reversed the 2011 verdict and ordered a new trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Permitting a strike based on sexual orientation would send the false message that gays and lesbians could not be trusted to reason fairly on issues of great import to the community or the nation,\" Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the panel. \"Strikes based on preconceived notions of the identities, preferences, and biases of gays and lesbians reinforce and perpetuate these stereotypes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court prohibits lawyers from removing jurors based only on their race and gender and requires them to provide a neutral reason why they are eliminating someone if an opposing lawyer questions the move. But the high court has never ruled on whether those protections apply to sexual orientation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case arose from a lawsuit SmithKline Beecham filed in 2007 after Abbott hiked the price of Norvir, a drug that SmithKline used in its AIDS cocktail under a licensing agreement. Both during jury selection and in its argument before the 9th Circuit, SmithKline argued the unnamed juror was taken off the jury because of the widespread negative publicity that the price hike received in the gay community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbott denied the allegation and said it had several reasons to remove the potential juror, which included his having a friend dying of AIDS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's today's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_82151\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/201274200/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Around 11:30 p.m., a signal for the phone suddenly showed up in East Oakland near 85th Avenue and San Leandro Street.

It definitely is not very brightly lit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the city has struggled to keep up with lighting needs because its streetlight fund “is very limited” and “not in very good shape.” Worthington said he has pushed for LED lighting because it’s cheaper in the long term and could make a big difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(The city has applied for a loan to \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2013/10/30/berkeley-aims-to-switch-old-streetlights-to-leds/\" target=\"_blank\">install LED lighting throughout Berkeley\u003c/a>.

The issue has garnered much more attention in recent years, but a full account of how many people are trafficked in and through the Bay Area remains elusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is we really do not know the full scope of human trafficking in our community,” said San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón. “We know that it’s large. We know that there are many victims out there. We know that most victims are suffering in silence, but we just don’t know how big the problem is because it is so underreported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gap between known trafficking victims and estimates of their total is staggering. About 40,000 of the estimated 27 million trafficking victims worldwide have been identified, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/2013/\" target=\"_blank\">State Department\u003c/a>. The department estimates up to 17,500 people are trafficked to the United States every year, adding to a quickly growing domestically trafficked population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human trafficking doesn't necessarily require smuggling people across borders. California and federal law define sex trafficking as forcing, coercing or transporting someone for the purpose of a commercial sex act. Labor trafficking is the act of forcing a person to work for little or no money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=22009#.UtOMG_RDt7E\" target=\"_blank\">United Nations\u003c/a> calculates human trafficking as a $32 billion-a-year industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The reality is we really do not know the full scope of human trafficking in our community.

Modern slavery here and in this time rarely involves shackles or chains, but it instead uses more subtle forms of bondage, including coercion, false pretenses, isolation, surveillance, threats of harm, economic dependence and threats to family members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haag mentioned two recent high-profile trafficking cases in California. Federal prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/usao/cas/press/2014/cas14-0108-PR_PittmanIndict.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed charges\u003c/a> against 24 alleged San Diego gang members on Jan. 8 for operating a prostitution ring spanning 46 cities in 23 states. They allegedly tattooed some of the 60 women victims, including 11 minors, with bar codes or gang symbols. Hayward police arrested two men that same day for running a sex-trafficking ring. Police say a 14-year-old girl who had been forced into prostitution led them to the suspects and two other victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials are stepping up enforcement of a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/human-trafficking/sb1193\" target=\"_blank\">state law\u003c/a> that took effect last April requiring some businesses to post phone numbers for national human trafficking victim services. The mayor’s office and police chief are mailing notices and posters to establishments affected by the law, which include adult or sexually oriented shops, airports, train stations, truck stops, bus stations, emergency rooms, farm labor contractors and massage parlors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said the Police Department identified 79 potential human trafficking victims in 2013.

The issue has garnered much more attention in recent years, but a full account of how many people are trafficked in and through the Bay Area remains elusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is we really do not know the full scope of human trafficking in our community,” said San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón. “We know that it’s large. We know that there are many victims out there. We know that most victims are suffering in silence, but we just don’t know how big the problem is because it is so underreported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gap between known trafficking victims and estimates of their total is staggering. About 40,000 of the estimated 27 million trafficking victims worldwide have been identified, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/2013/\" target=\"_blank\">State Department\u003c/a>. The department estimates up to 17,500 people are trafficked to the United States every year, adding to a quickly growing domestically trafficked population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human trafficking doesn't necessarily require smuggling people across borders. California and federal law define sex trafficking as forcing, coercing or transporting someone for the purpose of a commercial sex act. Labor trafficking is the act of forcing a person to work for little or no money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Modern slavery here and in this time rarely involves shackles or chains, but it instead uses more subtle forms of bondage, including coercion, false pretenses, isolation, surveillance, threats of harm, economic dependence and threats to family members.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haag mentioned two recent high-profile trafficking cases in California. Federal prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://www.justice.gov/usao/cas/press/2014/cas14-0108-PR_PittmanIndict.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">disclosed charges\u003c/a> against 24 alleged San Diego gang members on Jan. 8 for operating a prostitution ring spanning 46 cities in 23 states. They allegedly tattooed some of the 60 women victims, including 11 minors, with bar codes or gang symbols. Hayward police arrested two men that same day for running a sex-trafficking ring. Police say a 14-year-old girl who had been forced into prostitution led them to the suspects and two other victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials are stepping up enforcement of a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/human-trafficking/sb1193\" target=\"_blank\">state law\u003c/a> that took effect last April requiring some businesses to post phone numbers for national human trafficking victim services.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is under an April 18 deadline to comply with the panel's order, but has sought a two-year extension. The state has been negotiating with inmate lawyers to come up with a long-term plan to present to the court, which had given them until Friday to find a mutually agreeable solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three judges — U.S. District Court Judges Thelton Henderson of San Francisco, Lawrence Karlton of Sacramento and Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — issued a brief order giving the two sides 10 days to file their proposals for meeting the prison inmate limit. Based on those proposals and brief responses from each side, the judges said they'll issue a decision on the state's request for an extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language in today's order (embedded below) can be read as impatient, if not exasperated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This Court has repeatedly extended the meet-and-confer process, and by virtue thereof the date for the State’s compliance, in hopes that the parties could reach agreement on how this Court can best ensure a durable solution to the prison population problem as required by our orders of August 4, 2009, June 30, 2011, and June 20, 2013. It now appears that no such agreement will be reached, and the Court therefore intends to issue an order within the next 30 days as to whether it will grant, deny, or grant in part and deny in part the State’s request for an extension of time in which to comply with those orders.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The panel also warned that the proposals from each side should be practical and suited to attaining lasting compliance with the prison population cap:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These proposed orders shall not be statements of the parties’ ultimate wishes but, rather, shall include those terms, and only those terms, that the parties believe are best suited to achieve durable compliance with this Court’s orders to maintain a prison population of no more than 137.5 percent design capacity.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said, “We are hopeful the court will recognize that the state has made significant reforms to our criminal justice system and will allow us an extension so we can build upon these landmark reforms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department said the 137.5 percent population limit would allow about 112,000 inmates in the system's 34 facilities. The current population is just over 118,000. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/paigestjohn\" target=\"_blank\">Paige St. John\u003c/a> reports in the Los Angeles Times, the delay in deciding whether to give the state more time to meet the 137.5 percent limit will have \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-seek-input-on-prison-order-20140113,0,7623603.story#ixzz2qKFfbfav\" target=\"_blank\">an immediate impact\u003c/a> on Gov. Jerry Brown's new budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For now, California will still be blocked from expanding its contracts with private prison operators for cells out of state. And it means a short delay before Brown and state lawmakers learn if California will need to spend a planned $315 million to expand private prison leases, or just $228 million to keep those lease contracts at their current level. If the crowding deadline is pushed back to 2016, as Brown seeks, the governor pledges to give $81 million of the savings to counties for prisoner rehabilitation programs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_58321\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/199485564/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Based on those proposals and brief responses from each side, the judges said they'll issue a decision on the state's request for an extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language in today's order (embedded below) can be read as impatient, if not exasperated:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This Court has repeatedly extended the meet-and-confer process, and by virtue thereof the date for the State’s compliance, in hopes that the parties could reach agreement on how this Court can best ensure a durable solution to the prison population problem as required by our orders of August 4, 2009, June 30, 2011, and June 20, 2013. It now appears that no such agreement will be reached, and the Court therefore intends to issue an order within the next 30 days as to whether it will grant, deny, or grant in part and deny in part the State’s request for an extension of time in which to comply with those orders.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The panel also warned that the proposals from each side should be practical and suited to attaining lasting compliance with the prison population cap:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>These proposed orders shall not be statements of the parties’ ultimate wishes but, rather, shall include those terms, and only those terms, that the parties believe are best suited to achieve durable compliance with this Court’s orders to maintain a prison population of no more than 137.5 percent design capacity.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said, “We are hopeful the court will recognize that the state has made significant reforms to our criminal justice system and will allow us an extension so we can build upon these landmark reforms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Firefighters told investigators they assumed the girl was dead and hurried on toward the damaged aircraft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An autopsy revealed Yuan was alive before the vehicles hit her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, 304 of the 307 people aboard the plane survived after the airliner slammed into a seawall at the end of a runway during final approach for landing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact ripped off the back of the plane, tossed out three flight attendants and their seats, and scattered pieces of the jet across the runway as it spun and skidded to a stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yuan was one of three Chinese teens who died; one died during the crash, and another later in the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their claim, attorneys at Kreindler & Kreindler, the Los Angeles firm representing Yuan's parents, name 37 specific airport, fire and police department employees, saying they and others \"breached their duty of care.\" They do not specify damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an obituary, Yuan was described as a champion athlete who excelled at literature, playing piano, singing and public speaking. Her given name means \"wish come true\" in Chinese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is still unknown how Yuan got out of the plane, but the claim says she was possibly taken out by rescuers. Interviews for an ongoing National Traffic Safety Board investigation found Yuan was covered with foam and struck twice — once by a fire rig spraying foam whose driver had seen and driven around her earlier in the chaos, and again 11 minutes later by a second truck that was turning around to fetch water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are many lessons to be learned here,\" Assistant Deputy Chief Dale Carnes, who oversees the San Francisco Fire Department's airport division, said during a NTSB hearing in December. \"We are developing strategies to lessen the potential for firefighting vehicles impacting accident victims.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Interviews for an ongoing National Traffic Safety Board investigation found Yuan was covered with foam and struck twice — once by a fire rig spraying foam whose driver had seen and driven around her earlier in the chaos, and again 11 minutes later by a second truck that was turning around to fetch water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are many lessons to be learned here,\" Assistant Deputy Chief Dale Carnes, who oversees the San Francisco Fire Department's airport division, said during a NTSB hearing in December. \"We are developing strategies to lessen the potential for firefighting vehicles impacting accident victims.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
