"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated, 3:35 p.m.\u003c/strong>: Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, a craft developed to carry paying passengers into suborbital space, crashed during a rocket-powered test flight Friday morning near its base in Southern California's Mojave Desert. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the two pilots aboard was killed and the other was seriously injured. National Transportation Safety Board and FAA investigators are expected to arrive at the crash site, in eastern Kern County about 100 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Company officials and other observers said at a Friday afternoon press conference in the town of Mojave that they're still uncertain what caused what they earlier termed \"a serious anomaly\" in the flight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem occurred immediately after SpaceShipTwo was released from its mother ship, WhiteKnight2, at an altitude of about nine miles and the two-man crew ignited the craft's rocket engine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ll tell you from my eyes and my ears, I detected nothing that appeared abnormal,\" said Stuart Witt, chief of the Mojave Air and Space Port, where SpaceShipTwo has been based during its development.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The future rests in many ways on hard days like this, and we believe we owe it to the folks who were flying these vehicles ... to understand this and to move forward.'\u003ccite>George Whitesides,\u003cbr>Virgin Galactic CEO\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The spacecraft uses a hybrid rocket motor, consisting of both a solid and liquid component. Friday's launch was the first full-powered flight test involving a new, plastic-based solid fuel. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Mickey, president of Scaled Composites, the company that's developed SpaceShipTwo, downplayed speculation about the fuel's role in Friday's incident. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were flying a rocket motor today that had been thoroughly tested on the ground and we expected no anomalies with the motor,\" Mickey said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witt said that prior to the flight, \"I was briefed that the plume would look different than in the past, but I couldn’t detect anything.\" However, he added that because of \"what I wasn’t hearing or seeing,\" he could tell the flight was not proceeding normally. He added that he had not seen the vehicle explode. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Brown, a freelance photographer who was covering the flight, told the Associated Press and NBC News that he saw the craft blow apart after its engine was lit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said that he had flown to the crash site immediately. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a large area, the aircraft is in several different pieces,\" Youngblood said. \"We found one person who was obviously deceased. I don’t have condition of the other person -- it appears to be major injuries, but we don't know what that means yet.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survivor was hospitalized at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster. Neither crewmember was identified; both were Scaled Composite test pilots. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SpaceShipTwo is part of a two-aircraft system: Its mother ship, called the WhiteKnight2, carries the six-passenger spaceship to an altitude of about 50,000 feet, then releases it. Pilots on the spacecraft then ignite its rocket motor, which is designed to propel the ship at more than three times the speed of sound to an altitude of 100 kilometers or so — about 62 miles, considered the threshold of space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winged spacecraft is designed to make a “feathered re-entry” into the atmosphere and an unpowered glide back to its takeoff point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ship is based on a design by aircraft designer Burt Rutan, perhaps best known for developing the \u003ca href=\"http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19880548000\" target=\"_blank\">Voyager\u003c/a>, a spindly featherweight plane that in 1986 completed a round-the-world flight without refueling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With backing from technology billionaire Paul Allen, Rutan's Scaled Composites built SpaceShipOne in an attempt to win the $10 million Ansari X Prize, a competition to create a rapidly relaunchable craft that could carry at least three people into suborbital space. SpaceShipOne successfully completed its repeat flights in October 2004, winning the prize. Richard Branson, chief of the Virgin entertainment and aviation empire, then invested in SpaceShipTwo as a space tourism vehicle and launched a new enterprise to operate flights, Virgin Galactic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fare for a trip to the edge of space -- an adventure that would include several days of preflight training at a new spaceport in New Mexico and perhaps a few minutes in a zero gravity environment during the flight -- is $250,000. The company has said more than 700 people have booked flights, which were scheduled to begin as early as next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Whitesides, Virgin Galactic's CEO, said Branson was traveling to Mojave and is expected to arrive Saturday. He and Witt, the Mojave space port manager, both put Friday's incident in the larger context of the quest to expand space exploration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Space is hard, and today was a tough day,\" Whitesides said. \"We are going to be supporting the investigation as we figure out what happened today and we’re going to get through it. The future rests in many ways on hard days like this and we believe we owe it to the folks who were flying these vehicles as well as the folks who’ve been working so hard on this, to understand this and to move forward, which is what we’ll do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industry observers agree that Friday's accident is a reversal for space tourism. From the AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I think it's a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time soon,\" said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at George Washington University. \"There were a lot of people who believed that the technology to carry people safely at hand.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from The New York Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Virgin was out ahead of everyone else for space tourism,” said Michael Blades, the aerospace and defense industry senior analyst at Frost & Sullivan, a market research and consulting firm. “It will still happen, but it has been pushed way to the right. It is just like any kind of other new technology, especially when it comes to flight, you have your tests and you have your failures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia Hynes, director of the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium, who organizes an annual symposium for people in the commercial space industry, said the accident “helps people understand why it’s never been done before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a tough business,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Hynes has bought a Virgin Galactic ticket, and the news did not change her intention to fly. “No, absolutely not,” she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nKQED Science television producer Sheraz Sadiq contributed to this post. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He added that he had not seen the vehicle explode. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Brown, a freelance photographer who was covering the flight, told the Associated Press and NBC News that he saw the craft blow apart after its engine was lit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said that he had flown to the crash site immediately. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a large area, the aircraft is in several different pieces,\" Youngblood said. \"We found one person who was obviously deceased. I don’t have condition of the other person -- it appears to be major injuries, but we don't know what that means yet.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survivor was hospitalized at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster. Neither crewmember was identified; both were Scaled Composite test pilots. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SpaceShipTwo is part of a two-aircraft system: Its mother ship, called the WhiteKnight2, carries the six-passenger spaceship to an altitude of about 50,000 feet, then releases it. Pilots on the spacecraft then ignite its rocket motor, which is designed to propel the ship at more than three times the speed of sound to an altitude of 100 kilometers or so — about 62 miles, considered the threshold of space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The winged spacecraft is designed to make a “feathered re-entry” into the atmosphere and an unpowered glide back to its takeoff point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ship is based on a design by aircraft designer Burt Rutan, perhaps best known for developing the \u003ca href=\"http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19880548000\" target=\"_blank\">Voyager\u003c/a>, a spindly featherweight plane that in 1986 completed a round-the-world flight without refueling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With backing from technology billionaire Paul Allen, Rutan's Scaled Composites built SpaceShipOne in an attempt to win the $10 million Ansari X Prize, a competition to create a rapidly relaunchable craft that could carry at least three people into suborbital space. SpaceShipOne successfully completed its repeat flights in October 2004, winning the prize. Richard Branson, chief of the Virgin entertainment and aviation empire, then invested in SpaceShipTwo as a space tourism vehicle and launched a new enterprise to operate flights, Virgin Galactic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fare for a trip to the edge of space -- an adventure that would include several days of preflight training at a new spaceport in New Mexico and perhaps a few minutes in a zero gravity environment during the flight -- is $250,000. The company has said more than 700 people have booked flights, which were scheduled to begin as early as next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Whitesides, Virgin Galactic's CEO, said Branson was traveling to Mojave and is expected to arrive Saturday. He and Witt, the Mojave space port manager, both put Friday's incident in the larger context of the quest to expand space exploration. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Space is hard, and today was a tough day,\" Whitesides said. \"We are going to be supporting the investigation as we figure out what happened today and we’re going to get through it. The future rests in many ways on hard days like this and we believe we owe it to the folks who were flying these vehicles as well as the folks who’ve been working so hard on this, to understand this and to move forward, which is what we’ll do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Industry observers agree that Friday's accident is a reversal for space tourism. From the AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I think it's a real setback to the idea that lots of people are going to be taking joyrides into the fringes of outer space any time soon,\" said John Logsdon, retired space policy director at George Washington University. \"There were a lot of people who believed that the technology to carry people safely at hand.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from The New York Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Virgin was out ahead of everyone else for space tourism,” said Michael Blades, the aerospace and defense industry senior analyst at Frost & Sullivan, a market research and consulting firm. “It will still happen, but it has been pushed way to the right. It is just like any kind of other new technology, especially when it comes to flight, you have your tests and you have your failures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia Hynes, director of the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium, who organizes an annual symposium for people in the commercial space industry, said the accident “helps people understand why it’s never been done before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a tough business,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Hynes has bought a Virgin Galactic ticket, and the news did not change her intention to fly. “No, absolutely not,” she said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So I figured, if I can’t give my vote, I can give my time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a member of the LGBTQ community, the 29-year-old Foothill College student took it to heart when Honda was one of the first elected officials to join the \u003ca href=\"http://www.noh8campaign.com/article/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NOH8\u003c/a> campaign against Proposition 8, the 2008 California ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not when it’s popular,” she said. “It’s what’s right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a database called \u003ca href=\"http://www.ngpvan.com/news/vanvotebuilder-wins-most-valuable-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vote Builder\u003c/a>, Cooper is calling people with a history of volunteering to help get out the vote. Most of those working the phones on this particular night are taking politics and government classes at local high schools and colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda tends to mumble in front of a microphone. But put him in front of a group of teenagers working the phone banks and the former science teacher comes alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from his time in the Peace Corps to his favorite books, the 73-year-old connects with this crowd. One high school student asks for advice on what to say to voters who dislike Honda’s positions. He replies the student can speak to her experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s how much do you believe in what it is that we’re doing,” Honda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later the same evening, Honda headlined a panel discussion at San Jose City College on \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjcc.edu/Events/Pages/Human-Traficking-Arts--.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex trafficking\u003c/a>. Before an audience of mostly Latino and Asian students, Honda drew a long, historical line between sexual slavery perpetrated by the Japanese during World War II and the activities of ISIS in the Middle East today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eliminating human trafficking is not a Democratic or Republican issue,” Honda said. “It’s not a women’s issue or an international issue. Human trafficking is the pre-eminent human rights issue of our day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Honda can campaign on his congressional record, Khanna cannot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent, balmy evening, Khanna went door to door in West San Jose. The neighborhood has a \u003cem>Leave It to Beaver\u003c/em> quality about it: quiet, leafy streets packed with mid-century ranch homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for Silicon Valley, this region is more than middle class. Homes here regularly sell for more than $1 million, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/95129_zip/SINGLE-FAMILY_HOME_type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trulia\u003c/a>, an online real estate marketplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There’s more to the district than just Silicon Valley, and there’s more to the district than just high-tech coolness.’\u003ccite>Bill Whalen,\u003cbr>\nHoover Institution\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Khanna uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.ngpvan.com/voter-contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MiniVan\u003c/a>, a smartphone app for a database built under the guidance of Obama for America. The app tells Khanna voters’ names and party affiliations — or lack thereof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s dinner time and Khanna knows he has less than a minute to make his pitch, especially if he’s talking to a harried mom with kids at the table. A number of people don’t even bother to open the door — they talk to Khanna through their kitchen windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people are polite but noncommittal. Khanna likes to mention he teaches economics at Stanford, but few take him up on it. Voters want to talk about schools and traffic, not the federal budget or foreign policy. So he talks about schools, and when the through-the-window conversation ends, drops a mailer on the welcome mat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 38-year-old intellectual property lawyer from Fremont is Indian-American. He says a year ago it seemed he was only known by the Indian community. But then a handful of high powered tech titans like Marissa Mayer of Yahoo and angel investor Ron Conway started contributing to his campaign. That money helped fund a series of ads giving him higher name recognition. A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/07/thrust-and-parry-ro-khanna-and-mike-honda-in-vigorous-debate\">televised debate with Honda\u003c/a> earlier this month helped, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re living in a global economy,” Khanna said early in the debate. “Changing. Intensely competitive. And yet, Congress seems to have no real leadership or ideas and is stuck in the past. Dysfunctional. Slow moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By implication, Khanna is suggesting that Honda lacks vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Khanna’s political positions aren’t that different from Honda on everything from Social Security to health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats make up 44 percent of the electorate in the district, so how does Khanna convince Democratic voters to turn an incumbent like Honda out of office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna’s initial strategy stressed his ties to Silicon Valley, but that had limitations, according to Bill Whalen of Stanford’s Hoover Institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s more to the district than just Silicon Valley,” Whalen says, “and there’s more to the district than just high-tech coolness. You ask the average voter in that congressional district how are they doing? Are they better off than they were four years ago, and I don’t think Marissa Mayer’s endorsement really matters that much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whalen, a former speech writer for Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, says that to win, Khanna needs to win over folks who might not normally vote for a Democrat. That is: independents, undecideds, and Republicans. Like a registered Republican Khanna met in West San Jose while canvassing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Khanna asks the voter whether he’s heard about the race, the man replies, “You can save it. I’m gonna vote for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may not sound like a ringing endorsement, but it does sound like a vote. Internal polls from both camps show Khanna gaining ground in recent weeks. Khanna’s poll shows a dead heat, while Honda’s shows the incumbent holding a 15-point lead. We’ll all know for sure in a couple of weeks.\u003c/p>\n\n",

So I figured, if I can’t give my vote, I can give my time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a member of the LGBTQ community, the 29-year-old Foothill College student took it to heart when Honda was one of the first elected officials to join the \u003ca href=\"http://www.noh8campaign.com/article/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NOH8\u003c/a> campaign against Proposition 8, the 2008 California ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not when it’s popular,” she said. “It’s what’s right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a database called \u003ca href=\"http://www.ngpvan.com/news/vanvotebuilder-wins-most-valuable-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vote Builder\u003c/a>, Cooper is calling people with a history of volunteering to help get out the vote. Most of those working the phones on this particular night are taking politics and government classes at local high schools and colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda tends to mumble in front of a microphone. But put him in front of a group of teenagers working the phone banks and the former science teacher comes alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from his time in the Peace Corps to his favorite books, the 73-year-old connects with this crowd. One high school student asks for advice on what to say to voters who dislike Honda’s positions. He replies the student can speak to her experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s how much do you believe in what it is that we’re doing,” Honda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later the same evening, Honda headlined a panel discussion at San Jose City College on \u003ca href=\"http://www.sjcc.edu/Events/Pages/Human-Traficking-Arts--.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex trafficking\u003c/a>. Before an audience of mostly Latino and Asian students, Honda drew a long, historical line between sexual slavery perpetrated by the Japanese during World War II and the activities of ISIS in the Middle East today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eliminating human trafficking is not a Democratic or Republican issue,” Honda said. “It’s not a women’s issue or an international issue. Human trafficking is the pre-eminent human rights issue of our day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Honda can campaign on his congressional record, Khanna cannot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent, balmy evening, Khanna went door to door in West San Jose. The neighborhood has a \u003cem>Leave It to Beaver\u003c/em> quality about it: quiet, leafy streets packed with mid-century ranch homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even for Silicon Valley, this region is more than middle class. Homes here regularly sell for more than $1 million, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/95129_zip/SINGLE-FAMILY_HOME_type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trulia\u003c/a>, an online real estate marketplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘There’s more to the district than just Silicon Valley, and there’s more to the district than just high-tech coolness.’\u003ccite>Bill Whalen,\u003cbr>\nHoover Institution\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Khanna uses \u003ca href=\"https://www.ngpvan.com/voter-contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MiniVan\u003c/a>, a smartphone app for a database built under the guidance of Obama for America. The app tells Khanna voters’ names and party affiliations — or lack thereof.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s dinner time and Khanna knows he has less than a minute to make his pitch, especially if he’s talking to a harried mom with kids at the table. A number of people don’t even bother to open the door — they talk to Khanna through their kitchen windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people are polite but noncommittal. Khanna likes to mention he teaches economics at Stanford, but few take him up on it. Voters want to talk about schools and traffic, not the federal budget or foreign policy. So he talks about schools, and when the through-the-window conversation ends, drops a mailer on the welcome mat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 38-year-old intellectual property lawyer from Fremont is Indian-American. He says a year ago it seemed he was only known by the Indian community. But then a handful of high powered tech titans like Marissa Mayer of Yahoo and angel investor Ron Conway started contributing to his campaign. That money helped fund a series of ads giving him higher name recognition. A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/07/thrust-and-parry-ro-khanna-and-mike-honda-in-vigorous-debate\">televised debate with Honda\u003c/a> earlier this month helped, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re living in a global economy,” Khanna said early in the debate. “Changing. Intensely competitive. And yet, Congress seems to have no real leadership or ideas and is stuck in the past. Dysfunctional. Slow moving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By implication, Khanna is suggesting that Honda lacks vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Khanna’s political positions aren’t that different from Honda on everything from Social Security to health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats make up 44 percent of the electorate in the district, so how does Khanna convince Democratic voters to turn an incumbent like Honda out of office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna’s initial strategy stressed his ties to Silicon Valley, but that had limitations, according to Bill Whalen of Stanford’s Hoover Institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s more to the district than just Silicon Valley,” Whalen says, “and there’s more to the district than just high-tech coolness. You ask the average voter in that congressional district how are they doing? Are they better off than they were four years ago, and I don’t think Marissa Mayer’s endorsement really matters that much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whalen, a former speech writer for Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, says that to win, Khanna needs to win over folks who might not normally vote for a Democrat. That is: independents, undecideds, and Republicans. Like a registered Republican Khanna met in West San Jose while canvassing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Khanna asks the voter whether he’s heard about the race, the man replies, “You can save it. I’m gonna vote for you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, akin to exotic sports cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This car is nuts.

Twitter Inc. published a surveillance report in July but couldn't include the exact number of national security requests it received because Internet companies are prohibited from disclosing that information, even if they didn't get any requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based company said in a blog post that it believes it's entitled under the First Amendment to \"respond to our users' concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing information about the scope of U.S. government surveillance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government has been able to access phone networks and high-speed Internet traffic for years to catch suspected criminals and terrorists. The FBI also started pushing technology companies like Google, Skype and others to guarantee access to their data streams and grab emails, video chats, pictures and more. It recently emerged that \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/us-threatened-massive-fine-to-force-yahoo-to-release-data/2014/09/11/38a7f69e-39e8-11e4-9c9f-ebb47272e40e_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo was threatened with a daily fine of $250,000\u003c/a> by the U.S. government if it didn't comply with demands to give up information on its users. A secret 2007 lawsuit and subsequent appeal was ultimately unsuccessful, the company said last month after a federal judge ordered some material about the court challenge to be unsealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology companies say they turn over information only if required by court order, and in the interest of transparency with their customers, want to share information about the government's activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our ability to speak has been restricted by laws that prohibit and even criminalize a service provider like us from disclosing the exact number of national security letters ('NSLs') and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ('FISA') court orders received -- even if that number is zero,\" Ben Lee, Twitter's vice president of legal, wrote \u003ca href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/2014/taking-the-fight-for-transparency-to-court\" target=\"_blank\">in a blog post\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the Justice Department and five leading Internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, agreed to a compromise that would allow the firms to reveal how often they are ordered to turn over information about their customers in national security investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOJ spokeswoman Emily Pierce said in an email Tuesday that the agency worked collaboratively with those companies \"to allow them to provide broad information on government requests while also protecting national security.\" The FBI referred requests for comment to the Justice Department's response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Twitter's lawsuit pushes further -- for example, it wants to be able to disclose what types of information the government did or didn't ask for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We hope that other technology companies will now follow Twitter's lead,\" said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, in a statement. \"Technology companies have an obligation to protect their customers' sensitive information against overbroad government surveillance, and to be candid with their customers about how their information is being used and shared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"twittersuit\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/242228387/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_53693\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Twitter Inc. published a surveillance report in July but couldn't include the exact number of national security requests it received because Internet companies are prohibited from disclosing that information, even if they didn't get any requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based company said in a blog post that it believes it's entitled under the First Amendment to \"respond to our users' concerns and to the statements of U.S. government officials by providing information about the scope of U.S. government surveillance.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. government has been able to access phone networks and high-speed Internet traffic for years to catch suspected criminals and terrorists. The FBI also started pushing technology companies like Google, Skype and others to guarantee access to their data streams and grab emails, video chats, pictures and more. It recently emerged that \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/us-threatened-massive-fine-to-force-yahoo-to-release-data/2014/09/11/38a7f69e-39e8-11e4-9c9f-ebb47272e40e_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Yahoo was threatened with a daily fine of $250,000\u003c/a> by the U.S. government if it didn't comply with demands to give up information on its users. A secret 2007 lawsuit and subsequent appeal was ultimately unsuccessful, the company said last month after a federal judge ordered some material about the court challenge to be unsealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technology companies say they turn over information only if required by court order, and in the interest of transparency with their customers, want to share information about the government's activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a post on Facebook — yes, ironic — the union says: “Teamsters are asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to support Facebook shuttle drivers’ desire to join \u003ca href=\"http://www.teamsters853.org/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teamsters Local 853\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10342627\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10342627 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook-400x310.jpg\" alt=\"A Teamsters post on Facebook urging the company to support an organizing drive for shuttle drivers.\" width=\"400\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook-400x310.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/10/teamsters-facebook.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Teamsters’ post on Facebook urging the company to support an organizing drive for shuttle drivers.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The main issue for those who drive for Facebook and other tech firms is not pay — though at $20 an hour or so they’re hardly richly compensated — but the fact they have to work split shifts. That is, they drive workers to Silicon Valley from San Francisco, Berkeley and other locales, sit around for five or six hours during the day, then drive workers back home in the evening. The drivers are not paid for that downtime. Credit the San Francisco Chronicle with publicizing the shuttle drivers’ working conditions. In a\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/For-Google-shuttle-drivers-it-s-a-grueling-ride-5785556.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sunday feature \u003c/a>published Sept. 28, the paper gave a glimpse into the lives of workers who are required to work marathon hours for Google.

You add to that the fact that, especially in a Democratic district, it’s kind of a flat year for Democrats, and the big question in this race is who actually bothers to vote on Election Day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are few differences between the candidates on big issues like same-sex marriage, abortion, Social Security and the Affordable Care Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda is by all accounts a team player, a progressive Democrat who has voted consistently to support the party, human rights and \u003ca href=\"http://honda.house.gov/meet-mike/my-accomplishments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal funding\u003c/a> for various projects in his home district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna is an intellectual property lawyer and former Commerce Department official during President Obama’s first term, who \u003ca href=\"http://atr.rollcall.com/democratic-challenger-spends-2-6-million-to-unseat-fellow-democrat/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spent millions\u003c/a> to introduce himself to the district before the primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, the Khanna campaign has made much of leaked emails alleging Honda’s chief of staff blurred the lines between her official duties and her work on his re-election campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then we learned that the identity of the e-mail leaker is a former Honda aide.

The non-profit “embeds” coders, designers and other techies into governments around the country to help aging bureaucracies serve citizens better. Imagine if you could contest a parking ticket or check on a court date – as easily as you can buy a pair of shoes on your smart phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over coffee and cake, bleary-eyed but bushy tailed attendees evaluate the list of possible \u003ca href=\"https://cfasummit2014.pathable.com/meetings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakout sessions\u003c/a>. There’s “Open Data on Your Budget;” and “Using Maps for Civic Dialogue” and “Geo-Centric Responsive Mobile Development.” For those who speak the language, this is scintillating stuff. Seriously!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molly McLeod of Oakland is a 2014 Code for America Fellow, which means she got $50-thousand dollars and expenses paid for a year to help a city rethink the way it uses its data. “I’m a designer and an artist,” McLeod says. “So I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003ccite>Molly McLeod, 2014 Code for America Fellow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McLeod went to Long Beach to help it identify repeat callers to 911 who probably need some kind of intervention to keep them from careening from one crisis to the next. But like many fellows, McLeod has several projects bubbling along at any given time. She also helped develop a program in San Francisco that allows you to check your food stamp balance by \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/yViYA8IG36U?t=36s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text message\u003c/a>. “Which, you know, sounds like something that should already exist, but it doesn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially when, according to Pew, 91 percent of the adult population in the U.S. now owns some kind of \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2013/06/05/smartphone-ownership-2013/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cell phone\u003c/a>. For people who work with 21st century tech, it’s an easy leap – after a little bit of hard work – to take government data and repackage it so it’s accessible. No Excel spreadsheets. No blurry PDFs. No databases that give you the right answer only if you ask the right question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are the kinds of things that infuriate citizens, but they also demoralize some of the people working inside public agencies. 2012 Fellow Eddie Tejeda says many who work in government are just waiting for the chance to embrace a better way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of it has to do with being able to demonstrate results early,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10341837\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10341837\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Signs of brainstorming at the 2014 Code for America Summit in San Francisco.

Like many of the people at this summit, Tejeda shares a concept familiar to story tellers. “Show, don’t tell.” Demonstrate what’s possible, usually at reduced cost, and a lot of institutional resistance melts away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They get committed to an idea,” Tejeda explains.” “They become emotionally and intellectually invested to an idea, you can start thinking about long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley-style, Tejeda and his colleagues took the interface they created for New Orleans and launched a company called \u003ca href=\"http://civicinsight.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CivicInsight\u003c/a> that maintains BlightStatus, and does similar work for other governments. He’s not alone. Companies big and small are at the summit to hawk products and schmooze … while also grooving on the heady atmosphere of idealistic, civic volunteerism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Pahlka founded Code for America four years ago. There are all sorts of programs that set up mid-career professionals share their skills for a good cause. Pahlka thought … why not help governments work better? Or as one urban designer from Washington DC tweeted this week, “I’m not in the business of solving a tech problem.

The non-profit “embeds” coders, designers and other techies into governments around the country to help aging bureaucracies serve citizens better. Imagine if you could contest a parking ticket or check on a court date – as easily as you can buy a pair of shoes on your smart phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over coffee and cake, bleary-eyed but bushy tailed attendees evaluate the list of possible \u003ca href=\"https://cfasummit2014.pathable.com/meetings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breakout sessions\u003c/a>. There’s “Open Data on Your Budget;” and “Using Maps for Civic Dialogue” and “Geo-Centric Responsive Mobile Development.” For those who speak the language, this is scintillating stuff. Seriously!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molly McLeod of Oakland is a 2014 Code for America Fellow, which means she got $50-thousand dollars and expenses paid for a year to help a city rethink the way it uses its data. “I’m a designer and an artist,” McLeod says. “So I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I love creating things and I love making things simple and beautiful and easy to use.”\u003ccite>Molly McLeod, 2014 Code for America Fellow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McLeod went to Long Beach to help it identify repeat callers to 911 who probably need some kind of intervention to keep them from careening from one crisis to the next. But like many fellows, McLeod has several projects bubbling along at any given time. She also helped develop a program in San Francisco that allows you to check your food stamp balance by \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/yViYA8IG36U?t=36s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text message\u003c/a>. “Which, you know, sounds like something that should already exist, but it doesn’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For people who work with 21st century tech, it’s an easy leap – after a little bit of hard work – to take government data and repackage it so it’s accessible. No Excel spreadsheets. No blurry PDFs. No databases that give you the right answer only if you ask the right question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are the kinds of things that infuriate citizens, but they also demoralize some of the people working inside public agencies. 2012 Fellow Eddie Tejeda says many who work in government are just waiting for the chance to embrace a better way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of it has to do with being able to demonstrate results early,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10341837\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10341837\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/code4america800b-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Signs of brainstorming at the 2014 Code for America Summit in San Francisco.

Like many of the people at this summit, Tejeda shares a concept familiar to story tellers. “Show, don’t tell.” Demonstrate what’s possible, usually at reduced cost, and a lot of institutional resistance melts away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They get committed to an idea,” Tejeda explains.” “They become emotionally and intellectually invested to an idea, you can start thinking about long term.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley-style, Tejeda and his colleagues took the interface they created for New Orleans and launched a company called \u003ca href=\"http://civicinsight.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CivicInsight\u003c/a> that maintains BlightStatus, and does similar work for other governments. He’s not alone. Companies big and small are at the summit to hawk products and schmooze … while also grooving on the heady atmosphere of idealistic, civic volunteerism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Pahlka founded Code for America four years ago. There are all sorts of programs that set up mid-career professionals share their skills for a good cause. Pahlka thought … why not help governments work better?
