"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.",

The ruling is the latest in a string of cases that attempts to interpret the state's medical marijuana law for the benefit of cities and counties. [\u003cem>\u003ca title=\"City of Lake Forest v.

Company officials expect to offset those costs through increased demand for the pay phones, which are available in most prison units and monitored by staff. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This groundbreaking and momentous technology will enable CDCR to crack down on the potentially dangerous communications by inmates,” corrections Secretary Matt Cate said, noting inmates “have used cell phones to commit more crimes, organize assaults on staff and terrorize victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the 71-page study, produced at the request of four state senators, highlights a long list of potential problems with the proposed system, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The technology as it is currently configured cannot capture 4G, Wi-Fi, MiFi, Skype, text messages or satellite transmissions.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The technology cannot “triangulate” radio signals, thus limiting the effectiveness in identifying specific phones or users.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For prisons located in or near populated areas, radio frequency “leakage” could interfere with regular cell phone communications, greatly reducing the “capability of public safety professionals to serve the community’s needs or the general public’s ability to access a 911 operator.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The corrections department has not identified the size of the contraband cell phone problem, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of the technology when it’s deployed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Efforts by the state to test the system were “rudimentary and would, at best, constitute a proof of concept, not an acceptable operational pilot test.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The only U.S. prison that has installed managed access technology, a facility in rural Mississippi, has encountered serious operational issues, and the system is not yet fully deployed.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Last year, 15,000 contraband cell phones were discovered at prisons and conservation camps around the state, up from 1,400 in 2007, according to corrections department data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the study affirms that cell phone smuggling in prisons is a serious problem, it recommends having private carriers identify and disable illicit phones and establishing airport-style screening systems “before investing millions in untested technology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A long-term statewide investment in this technology before it is proven is, in our opinion, unwise,” the report’s authors said in a May 8 \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/355646-2012cell-letter.html\" target=\"_blank\">letter\u003c/a> to lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike many other states and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, California does not routinely search staff as they enter state lockups.

And that is that in the end, the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people. We're both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others, but when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated. And I think that's what we try to impart to our kids.

Olson. “The bedrock American principles of freedom and human dignity are central to the political and legal convictions of Republicans, Democrats, liberals, and conservatives alike. President Obama’s words remind us that marriage and equality are universal values that unite us all. They remind us that we are all—as a People and a Nation—striving to form a more perfect Union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Obama’s words today will be celebrated by generations to come,” said AFER Board President Chad Griffin. “For the millions of young gay and lesbian Americans across this nation, their President’s words provide genuine hope that they will be the first generation to grow up with the freedom to fully pursue the American dream. Marriage—the promise of love, companionship, and family—is basic to the pursuit of that dream. Our Constitution’s promise, the promise of liberty, is one that every generation must realize. As President Obama recognized today, the fight to secure marriage equality is the defining element of our generation’s search for greater freedom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, Gallup released a \u003ca href=\"http://www.gallup.com/poll/154529/Half-Americans-Support-Legal-Gay-Marriage.aspx\">poll that showed 50 percent of Americans believe same-sex marriage should be legal\u003c/a>, down from 53 percent last year but still a noticeable swing from as recently as 2010, when just 44 percent approved of legalization. Notably, the latest poll shows the coveted group of voters identifying themselves as independent support same-sex marriage 57 percent to 40 percent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the numbers are even more favorable for proponents. A \u003ca href=\"http://field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2406.pdf\">February Field Poll found 59 percent supportive\u003c/a> of allowing same-sex couples to marry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, however, wrote yesterday that \u003ca href=\"http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/08/obamas-marriage-maneuvers/\">these numbers are soft\u003c/a>. Ironically, the column, posted at 11:35 p.m., attempts to explain why Obama hasn't come out in favor of same-sex marriage yet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The first reason is that while the increase in public support for same-sex marriage over the last two decades has been astonishingly swift, it has not been irreversible. Instead, sudden bursts of legal momentum – mostly driven by judicial rulings, from Massachusetts to Iowa – have often prompted temporary backlashes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Gallup’s polling, support for same-sex marriage rose from 35 percent to 42 percent between 1999 and 2004, but then dropped back to 37 percent; it rose to 46 percent just before Obama’s 2008 victory, but then dropped back to 40 percent a year later. Today’s 50 percent support likewise represents a slight drop-off from the high of 53 percent in the survey Gallup conducted last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This pattern suggests that Americans grow more resistant to same-sex marriage the more they feel that it’s being imposed upon them by an unelected judicial elite, and grow more supportive the more it seems to be gaining ground organically. A president is not an unelected judge, but a public flip-flop on the issue by the nation’s chief executive might feel like yet another elite attempt to pre-empt a debate that appears to be moving toward a resolution, but hasn’t quite been settled yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second reason for the White House’s caution is that opinion polling has consistently understated opposition to same-sex marriage since the issue rose to national prominence. Voters who say they support it when Gallup and other pollsters come calling can behave very differently in the privacy of the voting booth. \u003ca href=\"http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/08/obamas-marriage-maneuvers/\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In March, KQED Public Radio's Forum program discussed the \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201204160900\">political pros and cons of Obama declaring his support for same-sex marriage\u003c/a>. Here's one exchange between guests Evan Wolfson, founder and president of the same-sex marriage advocacy group Freedom to Marry, and Ed Espinoza, a Democratic political consultant:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVAN WOLFSON, FREEDOM TO MARRY\u003c/strong>: A vast majority of Democrats support the freedom to marry, but so do a majority of Independents, so do a majority of Catholics, so do a younger voters across the spectrum, including even Republicans and conservatives. So the President, by getting in line with the majority of Americans and the vast majority of Democrats and Independents, will be really doing something that his supporters, the people who are reachable, the people who want to be with him, want to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOST MICHAEL KRASNY\u003c/strong>: Do you agree Ed Espinoza that the majority are in support of same sex marriage and that the president, really, if he goes for this on the campaign platform will be speaking to the majority of Americans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL CONSULTANT ED ESPINOZA\u003c/strong>: I agree with the part that support for marriage equality is growing. I haven’t seen numbers recently to know if it’s a majority, though I will take Evan at his word… I can certainly believe that it is. As far as whether or not it’s good politics… there’s one hurdle here… and it’s that we don’t have national elections in this country. We have state-by-state elections. So long as we’re using this old dinosaur of the Electoral College and we don’t have a popular vote, we have got to weigh the outcome, the potential outcomes, of elections a little bit differently because some states have greater impact than others. And in some of these particular swing states, we don’t have a majority support just yet…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:45 p.m.\u003c/strong> The Log Cabin Republicans are not impressed.

Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director. “Log Cabin Republicans appreciate that President Obama has finally come in line with leaders like Vice President Dick Cheney on this issue, but LGBT Americans are right to be angry that this calculated announcement comes too late to be of any use to the people of North Carolina, or any of the other states that have addressed this issue on his watch. This administration has manipulated LGBT families for political gain as much as anybody, and after his campaign’s ridiculous contortions to deny support for marriage equality this week he does not deserve praise for an announcement that comes a day late and a dollar short.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dick Cheney?

Here's one exchange between guests Evan Wolfson, founder and president of the same-sex marriage advocacy group Freedom to Marry, and Ed Espinoza, a Democratic political consultant:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EVAN WOLFSON, FREEDOM TO MARRY\u003c/strong>: A vast majority of Democrats support the freedom to marry, but so do a majority of Independents, so do a majority of Catholics, so do a younger voters across the spectrum, including even Republicans and conservatives. So the President, by getting in line with the majority of Americans and the vast majority of Democrats and Independents, will be really doing something that his supporters, the people who are reachable, the people who want to be with him, want to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HOST MICHAEL KRASNY\u003c/strong>: Do you agree Ed Espinoza that the majority are in support of same sex marriage and that the president, really, if he goes for this on the campaign platform will be speaking to the majority of Americans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL CONSULTANT ED ESPINOZA\u003c/strong>: I agree with the part that support for marriage equality is growing. I haven’t seen numbers recently to know if it’s a majority, though I will take Evan at his word… I can certainly believe that it is. As far as whether or not it’s good politics… there’s one hurdle here… and it’s that we don’t have national elections in this country. We have state-by-state elections. So long as we’re using this old dinosaur of the Electoral College and we don’t have a popular vote, we have got to weigh the outcome, the potential outcomes, of elections a little bit differently because some states have greater impact than others. And in some of these particular swing states, we don’t have a majority support just yet…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:45 p.m.\u003c/strong> The Log Cabin Republicans are not impressed. Posted on \u003ca href=\"http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/log-cabin-republicans-on-obama-offensive-callous?ref=fpb\">Talking Points Memo\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>That the president has chosen today, when LGBT Americans are mourning the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/08/amendment-one-north-carolina_n_1501308.html\">passage of Amendment One\u003c/a>, to finally speak up for marriage equality is offensive and callous,” said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director. “Log Cabin Republicans appreciate that President Obama has finally come in line with leaders like Vice President Dick Cheney on this issue, but LGBT Americans are right to be angry that this calculated announcement comes too late to be of any use to the people of North Carolina, or any of the other states that have addressed this issue on his watch. This administration has manipulated LGBT families for political gain as much as anybody, and after his campaign’s ridiculous contortions to deny support for marriage equality this week he does not deserve praise for an announcement that comes a day late and a dollar short.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
