As unskilled laborers, they’d be assigned to a shop in the shipyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shop 32 had a lot of Filipinos in it,” Orpilla said. They unloaded box cars, swept the shops, took orders. Whatever needed to be done, they would do it.

Since 2013, the city climbed 30 rankings among major U.S. cities when it comes to economic inclusion – and 60 places for racial inclusion. That’s according to \u003ca href=\"https://centralvalleycf.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Press-release_CVCF-Data-Release_Oct-7_Local.pdf\">a new report\u003c/a> from the non-profit Central Valley Community Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashley Swearengin is CEO and President of the Central Valley Community Foundation. “It’s up to us to figure out – how do we turn that bounce into consistent, more widespread improvement,” she said. “Let’s take this momentum and let’s re-dedicate ourselves to the next five years of growth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new data shows household incomes and employment are rising across Fresno County. Median household income has grown by 55%, from $44,472 in 2014 to $68,889 in 2023, beating inflation. Employment rates have improved as well, increasing from 68% in 2014 to 74% in 2023, nearly reaching the statewide average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are still major disparities. Households at the 20th percentile earn $111,000 less than those at the 80th percentile, and employment gaps persist, with Hispanic and Black adults less likely to be employed than their White peers.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Incomes are consistently lower than the state average. And unemployment is higher. But that may be changing. Since 2013, the city climbed 30 rankings among major U.S. cities when it comes to economic inclusion – and 60 places for racial inclusion. That’s according to \u003ca href=\"https://centralvalleycf.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Press-release_CVCF-Data-Release_Oct-7_Local.pdf\">a new report\u003c/a> from the non-profit Central Valley Community Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ron Ansley’s specialty is abstract paintings, often inspired by Tiggy, his cat who passed away. Today, he’s using oil pastels to outline an illustration of plates and cups sprouting cactuses. “Making art is what I call a relaxation stress breaker,” Ansley said. “Mostly, I just like to express myself in painting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ansley, 64, has autism and several physical disabilities, including deep vein thrombosis and cataracts.

The fire killed 85 people and remains the most deadly and destructive in California’s history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the movie premiere last month, the film resonated in Chico and Oroville — two cities close to Paradise where many survivors relocated after the fire. Crowds packed into theaters to witness a film about their community’s experience.

Some shut down completely, meaning a significant loss in potential revenue. Others remained open, but were not fully staffed. That includes \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/29/680787463/fallout-grows-as-partial-government-shutdown-drags-on-into-new-year\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Southern California. Vehicles drove off-road, causing major damage to sensitive areas, and trash piled up, scattered around the park. Volunteer groups helped maintain and clean up the park during and after the shutdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County prosecutors have secured \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">a grand jury indictment\u003c/a> against 11 pro-Palestinian Stanford University protestors who barricaded themselves in the campus president’s office in 2024.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Joshua Tree National Park Remains Open, But Shutdown Raises Concerns\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Once the federal government shutdown took effect, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-parks-service\">National Park Service\u003c/a> shared a last-minute contingency plan that would keep many park sites open, but without full staffing. According to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058137/government-shutdown-2025-national-parks-planning-memo\">internal NPS memo obtained by KQED\u003c/a>, national park sites that \u003cem>can\u003c/em> be made physically inaccessible to the public will be closed off. But all other NPS sites, including those with roads and trails that are accessible to the public, will now remain open according to the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Tree National Park will remain open, with law enforcement and maintenance staff on hand. But as the shutdown goes on, it’s unclear how long the park will be staffed. During the last shutdown in late 2018 and early 2019, the park struggled with vandalism, trash and overall, a lot of destruction. “The visitors centers are closed,” said John Lauretig, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.friendsofjosh.org/\">Friends of Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> said at the time. “All the bathrooms are still open, but they’re not being maintained right now by the Park Service. So the local community has rallied together and started cleaning the bathrooms and restocking the toilet paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends of Joshua Tree is once again watching the shutdown closely. Kenji Haroutunian is executive director of the nonprofit. “I think that will require some of the community to step up, including Friends of Joshua Tree, to support the skeleton crew that’s likely to be in place for the foreseeable future until there’s a funding bill that’s passed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">\u003cstrong>Stanford Pro-Palestine Protestors Indicted For Barricading President’s Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Santa Clara County grand jury has indicted a group of pro-Palestinian Stanford University students on felony vandalism and trespassing charges, stemming from a June 2024 incident in which they broke into the campus president’s office and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989050/pro-palestinian-stanford-protesters-detained-after-occupying-presidents-office\">barricaded\u003c/a> themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors with the District Attorney’s office secured the indictment against 11 students on Sept. 29, pushing the case toward a trial and rankling defense attorneys who say the move shunts key elements of a thus far public prosecution into secrecy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They made this a very public case. They decided to charge felonies, they decided to hold a press conference, they decided to seek national media coverage of this charging decision,” Jeff Wozniak, a defense attorney in the case, told KQED on Wednesday. “And now to hold a secret non-public hearing to secure an indictment is just outrageous to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group of students were previously arraigned on identical felony charges from the DA’s office in the spring, a little less than a year after their action, which marked one piece of a broader campaign pushing Stanford to divest from companies or industries supporting Israel’s military offensive of Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some shut down completely, meaning a significant loss in potential revenue. Others remained open, but were not fully staffed. That includes \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/29/680787463/fallout-grows-as-partial-government-shutdown-drags-on-into-new-year\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Southern California. Vehicles drove off-road, causing major damage to sensitive areas, and trash piled up, scattered around the park. Volunteer groups helped maintain and clean up the park during and after the shutdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara County prosecutors have secured \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">a grand jury indictment\u003c/a> against 11 pro-Palestinian Stanford University protestors who barricaded themselves in the campus president’s office in 2024.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Joshua Tree National Park Remains Open, But Shutdown Raises Concerns\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Once the federal government shutdown took effect, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/national-parks-service\">National Park Service\u003c/a> shared a last-minute contingency plan that would keep many park sites open, but without full staffing. According to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058137/government-shutdown-2025-national-parks-planning-memo\">internal NPS memo obtained by KQED\u003c/a>, national park sites that \u003cem>can\u003c/em> be made physically inaccessible to the public will be closed off. But all other NPS sites, including those with roads and trails that are accessible to the public, will now remain open according to the memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshua Tree National Park will remain open, with law enforcement and maintenance staff on hand. But as the shutdown goes on, it’s unclear how long the park will be staffed. During the last shutdown in late 2018 and early 2019, the park struggled with vandalism, trash and overall, a lot of destruction. “The visitors centers are closed,” said John Lauretig, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.friendsofjosh.org/\">Friends of Joshua Tree National Park\u003c/a> said at the time. “All the bathrooms are still open, but they’re not being maintained right now by the Park Service. So the local community has rallied together and started cleaning the bathrooms and restocking the toilet paper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends of Joshua Tree is once again watching the shutdown closely. Kenji Haroutunian is executive director of the nonprofit. “I think that will require some of the community to step up, including Friends of Joshua Tree, to support the skeleton crew that’s likely to be in place for the foreseeable future until there’s a funding bill that’s passed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12058280/stanford-pro-palestine-protestors-indicted-for-barricading-presidents-office\">\u003cstrong>Stanford Pro-Palestine Protestors Indicted For Barricading President’s Office\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A Santa Clara County grand jury has indicted a group of pro-Palestinian Stanford University students on felony vandalism and trespassing charges, stemming from a June 2024 incident in which they broke into the campus president’s office and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989050/pro-palestinian-stanford-protesters-detained-after-occupying-presidents-office\">barricaded\u003c/a> themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Chakrin said this is the tightest turnaround for shutdown planning he’s seen by a large margin. “They’re asking for each park unit to make a plan, including staffing numbers and associated costs for a shutdown, which is happening in hours,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It also noted that numerous out-of-state and federal courts have confronted attorneys for citing fake legal authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opinion from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal is a clear example of why the state’s legal authorities are scrambling to regulate the use of AI in the judiciary. Earlier this month, the state’s Judicial Council \u003ca href=\"https://courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index/standards/Standard10_80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued guidelines requiring judges and court staff\u003c/a> to either ban generative AI or adopt a generative AI use policy by Dec. 15. Meanwhile, the California Bar Association is considering whether to strengthen its code of conduct to account for various forms of AI following a request by the California Supreme Court last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles-area attorney who was fined, Amir Mostafavi, told the court that he did not read text generated by the AI model before submitting the appeal in July 2023, months after OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as capable of \u003ca href=\"https://law.stanford.edu/2023/04/19/gpt-4-passes-the-bar-exam-what-that-means-for-artificial-intelligence-tools-in-the-legal-industry/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passing the bar exam\u003c/a>. A three-judge panel fined him for filing a frivolous appeal, violating court rules, citing fake cases, and wasting the court’s time and the taxpayers money, according to the opinion. Mostafavi told CalMatters he wrote the appeal and then used ChatGPT to try and improve it. He said that he didn’t know it would add case citations or make things up. He thinks it is unrealistic to expect lawyers to stop using AI. It’s become an important tool just as online databases largely replaced law libraries and, until AI systems stop hallucinating fake information, he suggests lawyers who use AI to proceed with caution.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A three-judge panel fined him for filing a frivolous appeal, violating court rules, citing fake cases, and wasting the court’s time and the taxpayers money, according to the opinion. Mostafavi told CalMatters he wrote the appeal and then used ChatGPT to try and improve it. He said that he didn’t know it would add case citations or make things up. He thinks it is unrealistic to expect lawyers to stop using AI. It’s become an important tool just as online databases largely replaced law libraries and, until AI systems stop hallucinating fake information, he suggests lawyers who use AI to proceed with caution.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
