He said his mother was booking a flight to head north.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt alumni Michael Myvett, 29, and his fiancee, Mathison Haywood, who were chaperoning, also were killed. Myvett was a therapist at an autism treatment center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He just died,” his grandmother Debra Loyd said, her voice breaking with emotion in the early afternoon Friday. “They have already confirmed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myvett’s manager Kyle Farris said he was “extraordinary,” and that he connected with their children “on a level few others could, and he contributed to their wellbeing in such a positive and profound way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He will be greatly missed,” Farris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Facebook photo shows Haywood flashing a shining diamond engagement ring on her finger and kissing Myvett in December near the Louvre Museum in Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bus was among three Humboldt had chartered as part of its two-day Preview Plus program to bring prospective students to tour the Arcata campus, according to university officials. Before launching the event Friday, university Vice President Peg Blake’s voice broke as she asked a crowded theater for a moment of silence in honor of everyone affected by the accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most survivors were injured, some with critical burns or broken limbs. Those who made it out said they scrambled through a kicked-out window. One was in flames. Those who could sprinted, others staggered, in a desperate dash to the opposite side of Interstate 5 before the vehicle exploded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew we were in major trouble,” said Steven Clavijo, a high school senior from Santa Clarita, who was trying to nap when he felt the bus shake before a loud boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he escaped, two more explosions followed. Clavijo and other survivors watched helplessly, knowing their peers were trapped in the inferno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Explosions of orange flames engulfed both vehicles, and clouds of black smoke billowed into the sky until firefighters doused the fire, leaving behind scorched black hulks of metal. Bodies were draped in blankets inside the burned-out bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The victims were teenage kids. A lot of them were freaked out. They were shocked. They still couldn’t grasp what happened,” said Jason Wyman of the Orland Volunteer Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both drivers were killed, along with three adult chaperones and five teenage students, according to the California Highway Patrol, which reached the scene shortly after the 5:30 p.m. accident about 165 highway miles north-northeast of San Francisco. Rescuers said the bodies were mostly at the front of the bus, or outside on the ground in front of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt admissions counselor Arthur Arzola, 26, who worked out of Los Angeles, was among the dead. His passion for bringing kids to the university was evident on his “Meet the Counselors” Web page: Humboldt “provides all students on campus with incredible opportunities that change the world for the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 44 teenagers aboard, from 31 Southern California high schools, were participating in a program that invites prospective low-income or first-generation college students to visit Humboldt State University in far Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great irony here, the great sadness, is these are the very students that California needs to be successful going forward,” said Timothy White, chancellor of the 23-campus California State University system, during a news conference Friday. “And so we are doubly saddened by the fact that many of them are first generation and students from low income, who have done all the right academic things and had their dream of going to Humboldt State taken away by this tragic accident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating, but warned it could take months for them to conclude what happened.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He said his mother was booking a flight to head north.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt alumni Michael Myvett, 29, and his fiancee, Mathison Haywood, who were chaperoning, also were killed. Myvett was a therapist at an autism treatment center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He just died,” his grandmother Debra Loyd said, her voice breaking with emotion in the early afternoon Friday. “They have already confirmed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myvett’s manager Kyle Farris said he was “extraordinary,” and that he connected with their children “on a level few others could, and he contributed to their wellbeing in such a positive and profound way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He will be greatly missed,” Farris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Facebook photo shows Haywood flashing a shining diamond engagement ring on her finger and kissing Myvett in December near the Louvre Museum in Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bus was among three Humboldt had chartered as part of its two-day Preview Plus program to bring prospective students to tour the Arcata campus, according to university officials. Before launching the event Friday, university Vice President Peg Blake’s voice broke as she asked a crowded theater for a moment of silence in honor of everyone affected by the accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most survivors were injured, some with critical burns or broken limbs. Those who made it out said they scrambled through a kicked-out window. One was in flames. Those who could sprinted, others staggered, in a desperate dash to the opposite side of Interstate 5 before the vehicle exploded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew we were in major trouble,” said Steven Clavijo, a high school senior from Santa Clarita, who was trying to nap when he felt the bus shake before a loud boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he escaped, two more explosions followed. Clavijo and other survivors watched helplessly, knowing their peers were trapped in the inferno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Explosions of orange flames engulfed both vehicles, and clouds of black smoke billowed into the sky until firefighters doused the fire, leaving behind scorched black hulks of metal. Bodies were draped in blankets inside the burned-out bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The victims were teenage kids. A lot of them were freaked out. They were shocked. They still couldn’t grasp what happened,” said Jason Wyman of the Orland Volunteer Fire Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both drivers were killed, along with three adult chaperones and five teenage students, according to the California Highway Patrol, which reached the scene shortly after the 5:30 p.m. accident about 165 highway miles north-northeast of San Francisco. Rescuers said the bodies were mostly at the front of the bus, or outside on the ground in front of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Humboldt admissions counselor Arthur Arzola, 26, who worked out of Los Angeles, was among the dead. His passion for bringing kids to the university was evident on his “Meet the Counselors” Web page: Humboldt “provides all students on campus with incredible opportunities that change the world for the better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 44 teenagers aboard, from 31 Southern California high schools, were participating in a program that invites prospective low-income or first-generation college students to visit Humboldt State University in far Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great irony here, the great sadness, is these are the very students that California needs to be successful going forward,” said Timothy White, chancellor of the 23-campus California State University system, during a news conference Friday. “And so we are doubly saddened by the fact that many of them are first generation and students from low income, who have done all the right academic things and had their dream of going to Humboldt State taken away by this tragic accident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating, but warned it could take months for them to conclude what happened.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/03/14/trains-carrying-fracked-oil-spotted-in-bay-area/\">KPIX investigation\u003c/a> found Kinder Morgan has been unloading trains full of crude in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, the Richmond and Berkeley city councils both passed resolutions opposing crude-by-rail projects. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/5723\">Richmond’s\u003c/a> was against the Kinder Morgan operations; \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/Clerk/City_Council/2014/03_Mar/Documents/2014-03-25_Item_29_Opposition_to_Rail_Transport_of_Hazardous.aspx\">Berkeley’s\u003c/a> against a \u003ca href=\"http://www.phillips66.com/EN/about/our-businesses/refining-marketing/refining/santamaria/Pages/rail-project-information.aspx\">Phillips 66\u003c/a> plan to build a rail terminal at its San Luis Obispo County refinery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a quick review of what’s going on with crude-by-rail in the Bay Area, and why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oil companies want to transport crude oil by train because it’s cheap and (relatively) local.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area refineries mostly get their oil from pipelines and ships, from \u003ca href=\"http://energyalmanac.ca.gov/petroleum/statistics/crude_oil_receipts.html\">Southern California, Alaska and the Middle East\u003c/a>. But there’s an oil boom right now in the middle part of North America. In North Dakota it’s oil coming from the Bakken formation, and in Alberta it’s from the tar sands. Oil companies want to get all that oil to the coasts, where the refineries and most of their customers are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In defense of the projects, oil companies point out that this oil is either from right here in the U.S. or from our friendly neighbor Canada, rather than from overseas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crude oil imports by rail into California have \u003ca href=\"http://energyalmanac.ca.gov/petroleum/statistics/2013_crude_by_rail.html\">shot up in recent years\u003c/a>, from zero in early 2009, to more than a million barrels in December 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Opponents of crude-by-rail are concerned about public safety and environmental impacts.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”e32339a5417a6ad21b6a745149deb72f”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crude oil from Alberta’s tar sands is heavy and high in sulfur. Environmentalists say it’s “dirty,” that it pollutes more to get it out of the ground and to refine it.

The weekly said that someone sent it the document anonymously, and that it was sent to a number of taxi-industry advocates as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparently in response, Uber soon \u003ca href=\"http://blog.uber.com/ridesharinginsurancepolicy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted the policy\u003c/a> on its own website. Uber wrote in a \u003ca href=\"http://blog.uber.com/ridesharinginsurancepolicy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post\u003c/a>: “We are confident it is a best-in-class policy and hope that this additional transparency addresses any remaining questions about the insurance provided to ridesharing partners on our platform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy was written by James River Insurance Co., based in Richmond, Virginia. How much Uber is paying in premiums is redacted in both the leaked and company versions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Secrecy an issue\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The taxi industry across the country has made a big issue of the non-public nature of the ride-services’ policies. In covering the issue over the past year, we have frequently heard from taxi companies, drivers and regulators that because these documents have been seen only by the California Public Utilities Commission, no one knows what exclusions and other conditions might get the companies off the hook — and its drivers on the hook — for liability costs in an accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”249dc16385ce75265eee36c75804d273″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But early indications are that those looking for a smoking gun to implicate Uber as engaging in insurance hocus-pocus may be disappointed. The Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association — which appreciates the technological marvel of loosely regulated, app-based dispatch startups about as much as the music industry liked Napster — focused on the name of the company listed as insured on the policy. Under “name of insured,” it says “Rasier LLC,” which is a subsidiary of Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is some sort of corporate shell game,” said William Rouse, past president of the TLPA and currently general manager of Los Angeles Yellow Cab. “The policy states that insurance kicks in only when Rasier LLC is liable. But Uber — not Rasier LLC — is the company providing for-hire transportation across the U.S. This could be the mechanism Uber uses to avoid paying out any insurance whatsoever. Why would any city allow Uber to operate on its streets with the company’s deceitful practices now on full display?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, “Uber Technologies Inc.” is indeed named as an “additional insured” in an addendum to the policy. (\u003cstrong>Update Thursday\u003c/strong>: Robert Passmore, senior director of personal lines policy at the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, told the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2014/03/27/what-does-ubers-1-million-commercial-policy-cover/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> this is not an unusual way to do things.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The insurance issue came to the fore after a fatal New Year’s Eve accident involving an UberX driver in San Francisco. Syed Muzaffar, driving an SUV, drove into a family in a Tenderloin crosswalk, killing 6-year-old Sofia Liu. Uber said the driver was not covered under the $1 million liability policy mandated by the CPUC because he was between calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/14/uber-lyft-insurance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed that gap to a certain degree\u003c/a> two weeks ago, when it announced it had added coverage for the period when a driver is logged into its app but not yet on a call. (Lyft said it would similarly augment its coverage.)

In covering the issue over the past year, we have frequently heard from taxi companies, drivers and regulators that because these documents have been seen only by the California Public Utilities Commission, no one knows what exclusions and other conditions might get the companies off the hook — and its drivers on the hook — for liability costs in an accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But early indications are that those looking for a smoking gun to implicate Uber as engaging in insurance hocus-pocus may be disappointed. The Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association — which appreciates the technological marvel of loosely regulated, app-based dispatch startups about as much as the music industry liked Napster — focused on the name of the company listed as insured on the policy. Under “name of insured,” it says “Rasier LLC,” which is a subsidiary of Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is some sort of corporate shell game,” said William Rouse, past president of the TLPA and currently general manager of Los Angeles Yellow Cab. “The policy states that insurance kicks in only when Rasier LLC is liable. But Uber — not Rasier LLC — is the company providing for-hire transportation across the U.S. This could be the mechanism Uber uses to avoid paying out any insurance whatsoever. Why would any city allow Uber to operate on its streets with the company’s deceitful practices now on full display?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, “Uber Technologies Inc.” is indeed named as an “additional insured” in an addendum to the policy. (\u003cstrong>Update Thursday\u003c/strong>: Robert Passmore, senior director of personal lines policy at the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, told the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/techchron/2014/03/27/what-does-ubers-1-million-commercial-policy-cover/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> this is not an unusual way to do things.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The insurance issue came to the fore after a fatal New Year’s Eve accident involving an UberX driver in San Francisco. Syed Muzaffar, driving an SUV, drove into a family in a Tenderloin crosswalk, killing 6-year-old Sofia Liu. Uber said the driver was not covered under the $1 million liability policy mandated by the CPUC because he was between calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/14/uber-lyft-insurance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed that gap to a certain degree\u003c/a> two weeks ago, when it announced it had added coverage for the period when a driver is logged into its app but not yet on a call. (Lyft said it would similarly augment its coverage.) However, UberX’s added coverage is capped at $100,000 total per incident for bodily injury and $25,000 per incident for property damage, the company said.
