"content": "\u003cp>If you've been weighing the pros and cons of greening your drive with an electric vehicle, a new bundled deal from Ford and local solar manufacturer SunPower could be... illuminating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new deal offers a significant discount on rooftop solar systems to buyers of the Ford Focus Electric car, which is slated to hit the California market later this year. The companies say the rooftop systems will generate enough electricity to power the cars.

But both of them failed last night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson says BART officials are still looking for the root cause of the failure. But in the meantime they have backup computer staff on hand.

He calls the bullet train “the signature infrastructure project that will define the Bay Area, California and even the United States in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, he urged the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which coordinates transit planning in the Bay Area, to take the lead in coming up with some sort of compromise rail plan that might be acceptable to the project’s many critics. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our inability, as a region, to articulate a clear vision for high-speed rail has real consequences,” Wunderman wrote to commission Chairwoman Adrienne Tissier, who also is a San Mateo County supervisor. “We weaken our support in the state and federal government, we put ourselves at the back of the funding line, and we strengthen those who argue that high-speed rail is an impossible fantasy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California Watch has reported, Peninsula opponents have \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/peninsula-bullet-train-s-cost-projections-scrutinized-11564\">filed two environmental lawsuits\u003c/a> against the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Opponents fear that running the bullet train the length of the Peninsula will bring blight and sprawl – especially if the trains run on elevated tracks for most of the way as currently planned. But the legal dispute over the project’s environmental planning has morphed into a more generalized critique of the entire financial plan for building and operating the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, a compromise was proposed by three Peninsula lawmakers: Democratic California Congresswoman Anna Eshoo; state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto; and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They suggested \u003ca href=\"http://eshoo.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=971:eshoo-simitian-and-gordon-joint-statement-on-high-speed-rail\">confining high-speed rail\u003c/a> to the present right of way of the Caltrain commuter rail service and scrapping plans for elevated tracks. This would create a “blended system that integrates high-speed rail with a 21st Century Caltrain,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some boosters countered that without its own tracks, the bullet train never would be able to run frequently enough to meet passenger demand – and generate revenues sufficient to head off crippling operating deficits. Wunderman, though, wrote that the lawmakers’ ideas could represent “a promising path forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some rail experts say that saving the project will require a drastic systemwide overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Setty, a transportation consultant and proprietor of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/\">publictransit.us\u003c/a> transportation blog, has proposed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/ptlibrary/CaliforniaNetworkedTransit.pdf\">high-speed rail “reboot” [PDF]\u003c/a> that he says would be far cheaper than the current plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His stripped-down version of high-speed rail would use “existing, mostly under-utilized rail lines” whenever possible, thus saving the tremendous cost of constructing new tracks for the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To link Northern and Southern California, he would run the main spur “down the middle of I-5” on the western side of the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the freeway corridor, rather than the rich agricultural land to the east, “eliminates 99 percent of the opposition” that the project has encountered from Central Valley farmers, he said in an interview. It also would dramatically reduce land acquisition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between Los Angeles and Bakersfield would run over Grapevine, also to save money; the expensive, controversial jog into the Antelope Valley would be eliminated as well. And he would link the Bay Area with the Central Valley via the I-580 corridor over Altamont Pass, mostly so that prospective passengers from the East Bay and North Bay could be better served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stripping the project down to a 400-mile, $20 billion system might well attract the billions in private investment capital needed to build it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The project is in a lot of trouble,” he said, “but there are ways to salvage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lance Williams is an investigative reporter for California Watch, a project of the non-profit Center for Investigative Reporting.

He calls the bullet train “the signature infrastructure project that will define the Bay Area, California and even the United States in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Opponents fear that running the bullet train the length of the Peninsula will bring blight and sprawl – especially if the trains run on elevated tracks for most of the way as currently planned. But the legal dispute over the project’s environmental planning has morphed into a more generalized critique of the entire financial plan for building and operating the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, a compromise was proposed by three Peninsula lawmakers: Democratic California Congresswoman Anna Eshoo; state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto; and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They suggested \u003ca href=\"http://eshoo.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=971:eshoo-simitian-and-gordon-joint-statement-on-high-speed-rail\">confining high-speed rail\u003c/a> to the present right of way of the Caltrain commuter rail service and scrapping plans for elevated tracks. This would create a “blended system that integrates high-speed rail with a 21st Century Caltrain,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some boosters countered that without its own tracks, the bullet train never would be able to run frequently enough to meet passenger demand – and generate revenues sufficient to head off crippling operating deficits. Wunderman, though, wrote that the lawmakers’ ideas could represent “a promising path forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some rail experts say that saving the project will require a drastic systemwide overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Setty, a transportation consultant and proprietor of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/\">publictransit.us\u003c/a> transportation blog, has proposed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/ptlibrary/CaliforniaNetworkedTransit.pdf\">high-speed rail “reboot” [PDF]\u003c/a> that he says would be far cheaper than the current plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His stripped-down version of high-speed rail would use “existing, mostly under-utilized rail lines” whenever possible, thus saving the tremendous cost of constructing new tracks for the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To link Northern and Southern California, he would run the main spur “down the middle of I-5” on the western side of the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the freeway corridor, rather than the rich agricultural land to the east, “eliminates 99 percent of the opposition” that the project has encountered from Central Valley farmers, he said in an interview. It also would dramatically reduce land acquisition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between Los Angeles and Bakersfield would run over Grapevine, also to save money; the expensive, controversial jog into the Antelope Valley would be eliminated as well. And he would link the Bay Area with the Central Valley via the I-580 corridor over Altamont Pass, mostly so that prospective passengers from the East Bay and North Bay could be better served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stripping the project down to a 400-mile, $20 billion system might well attract the billions in private investment capital needed to build it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The project is in a lot of trouble,” he said, “but there are ways to salvage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lance Williams is an investigative reporter for California Watch, a project of the non-profit Center for Investigative Reporting.

I'm glad they finally decided to do the right thing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I understand you're considering pursuing legal action against the airline? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I haven't gone that far as of yet but at some point I will speak with my attorney and see what's the next step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you be suing the airline for?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well there's a lot of racism in there. Between the humiliation and the harassment that they brought upon my son. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you talking with the NAACP about their support? I know they spoke out strongly in support of Deshon.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes I have spoken with pastor (Amos) Brown last night when we heard the decsion and I'll be speaking with him again today at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And right now are you in conversation with your lawyers to determine whether or not you \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to pursue the suit or \u003cem>how\u003c/em> to pursue it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On how to pursue it and what measures we need to take to make it happen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you've already decided to go ahead and do it, it's just a matter of how you'll pursue it then? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Um, pretty much. Yes. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is Deshon doing? What was his reaction to the news?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deshon is overwhelmed but grateful that all this has come to an end. It took a toll on him after being humiliated and embarrassed nationwide. We're glad that it's come to an end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Were you the one who gave him the news?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes I was. He jumped for joy. \"Yeah mom we did it. Tell everybody from home I love them and thank them for all the love and support.\" Because we had a lot of support around Deshon here that rallied yesterday afternoon at 12 o'clock at City Hall. It was beautiful. From the supervisor Malia Cohen to a few of the other supervisors in the city. Different communities that had gotten together and rallied around Deshon, so he was really excited and pleased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has he been a bit surprised by the national reaction to what happened? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would think he would be surprised. You wouldn't think that because of saggy pajamas that this would go nationwide. And it kind of blew up. Being that it became a racist thing; you have other people that can wear what they want to wear on the plane, but here comes this African American kid that chooses to wear what he wants to and it becomes a problem. I think we all were pretty surprised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the hardest part about this process for Deshon?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The embarrassment, being taken off the plane. The police jumping on him and carrying him out of the airport in like a bodybag and people looking and seeing this go on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you seeking from the airline? At the NAACP press conference, one of the things they were saying was that they wanted an apology from the airline and also senstivity training. The airline has not yet issued an apology and they're standing by their statement that he needed to obey crewmembers' instructions. What is your response to that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, the crewmembers shouldn't have been addressing Deshon any further when he complied and did what the young lady asked him to do, and that was to pull up his pants. He did that, the pilot came down and spoke to him, he saw that Deshon had complied, the matter should have been defused at that point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pilot, who should be more people sensitive, should have saw that Deshon did what was asked of him; he should have gone on and drove the plane as he's hired to do, instead of having a debate with Deshon and harrassing him and telling him to get off the plane. What was the reasoning? Why did he need to ask him to get off the plane? That's the key question. For what? You shouldn't have been bothering him anyway about his clothing. You didn't bother the other passenges about their choice of clothing. So why would you bother Deshon? And, there's no dress code. So why were you in my son's face about his clothing? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sleep every night trying to figure out what my son did wrong. And I've yet to find out what he did wrong other than ask the pilot why do I need to get off the plane? And then he trusted the San Mateo Sheriff's Department, when he said if you get off the plane, we're going to put you on another plane. When he walked off the plane, the police department jumped him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you interested in also pursing action against the police? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm considering, of course. They have humiliated my son, even more so when they jumped him and then put him in that bodybag and threw him in the paddy wagon like he was a piece of meat. They didn't consider that he was human, he is somebody. They treated him as if he was an animal and he was a criminal, and he is neither. They probably wouldn't treat an animal the way they treated my son. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you like from the airline to make you and Deshon whole? An apology?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First and foremost, an apology from US Airways. Their employees. I would think that they would want to apologize for taking this as far as it did, and it should not have gone this far.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"transcript\">\u003c/a>Here's an interview that KQED intern Erin Ferguson conducted with John McDonald, VP of Communications at US Airways, on San Francisco Supervisor Malia Cohen's call for a board resolution in support of Marman, including a request that US Airways apologize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Supervisor Malia Cohen urged US Airways to make their dress code policy more consistent and asked for a public statement of apology in the Deshon Marman case. What's your response? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're working with the San Francisco NAACP, Reverend Brown, and Miss Doyle, and we're prepared to work with them to help Mr. Marman get through the incident and land on his feet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The supervisor Malia Cohen said that she felt compelled to make this statement because she thought US Airways had handled this incident so poorly, with a very nonchalant and cavalier response. Your response?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to remember that this issue is about passenger compliance with airline employee instuctions and crewmember directions. That was not complied with. That's what this issue is about. And hey, we're not perfect, I don't know any airline that is perfect. If there's a way that we can improve our customer service and interaction with passengers, we're certainly going to do that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fact of the matter is, he refused to comply with the crewmember instructions and he was asked to deplane the aircraft. And tha'ts a safety and security issue, and that safety and security of our crews, our emloyees, and our customers is our top priority. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is US Airways dress code policy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not about dress code. This is about a person who was on one of our craft and refused to comply with a crewmember instruction and was asked to deplane. That's what this is about. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does US airways have any intention of apologizing to Marman, as Cohens' resolution calls for? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't apologize for our employees taking the safety and security of our aircraft, our crews, and out customers as a top priority. That's what this is about.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"end\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>Earlier post\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Mateo County DA has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/07/13/BACD1K9U1D.DTL&tsp=1\">declined to file charges\u003c/a> against Deshon Marman, the 20-year-old University of New Mexico football player who was removed from a US Airways flight after getting into a dispute over his pants, which were reportedly sagging low enough to expose his underwear. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marman was taken into custody on suspicion of three crimes: battery on a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest and trespassing, both misdemeanors.

Between the humiliation and the harassment that they brought upon my son. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you talking with the NAACP about their support? I know they spoke out strongly in support of Deshon.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes I have spoken with pastor (Amos) Brown last night when we heard the decsion and I'll be speaking with him again today at some point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And right now are you in conversation with your lawyers to determine whether or not you \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to pursue the suit or \u003cem>how\u003c/em> to pursue it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On how to pursue it and what measures we need to take to make it happen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you've already decided to go ahead and do it, it's just a matter of how you'll pursue it then? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Um, pretty much. Yes. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is Deshon doing? What was his reaction to the news?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deshon is overwhelmed but grateful that all this has come to an end. It took a toll on him after being humiliated and embarrassed nationwide. We're glad that it's come to an end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Were you the one who gave him the news?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes I was. He jumped for joy. \"Yeah mom we did it. Tell everybody from home I love them and thank them for all the love and support.\" Because we had a lot of support around Deshon here that rallied yesterday afternoon at 12 o'clock at City Hall. It was beautiful. From the supervisor Malia Cohen to a few of the other supervisors in the city. Different communities that had gotten together and rallied around Deshon, so he was really excited and pleased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Has he been a bit surprised by the national reaction to what happened? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would think he would be surprised. You wouldn't think that because of saggy pajamas that this would go nationwide. And it kind of blew up. Being that it became a racist thing; you have other people that can wear what they want to wear on the plane, but here comes this African American kid that chooses to wear what he wants to and it becomes a problem. I think we all were pretty surprised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was the hardest part about this process for Deshon?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The embarrassment, being taken off the plane. The police jumping on him and carrying him out of the airport in like a bodybag and people looking and seeing this go on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are you seeking from the airline? At the NAACP press conference, one of the things they were saying was that they wanted an apology from the airline and also senstivity training. The airline has not yet issued an apology and they're standing by their statement that he needed to obey crewmembers' instructions. What is your response to that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, the crewmembers shouldn't have been addressing Deshon any further when he complied and did what the young lady asked him to do, and that was to pull up his pants. He did that, the pilot came down and spoke to him, he saw that Deshon had complied, the matter should have been defused at that point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pilot, who should be more people sensitive, should have saw that Deshon did what was asked of him; he should have gone on and drove the plane as he's hired to do, instead of having a debate with Deshon and harrassing him and telling him to get off the plane. What was the reasoning? Why did he need to ask him to get off the plane? That's the key question. For what? You shouldn't have been bothering him anyway about his clothing. You didn't bother the other passenges about their choice of clothing. So why would you bother Deshon? And, there's no dress code. So why were you in my son's face about his clothing? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sleep every night trying to figure out what my son did wrong. And I've yet to find out what he did wrong other than ask the pilot why do I need to get off the plane? And then he trusted the San Mateo Sheriff's Department, when he said if you get off the plane, we're going to put you on another plane. When he walked off the plane, the police department jumped him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you interested in also pursing action against the police? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm considering, of course. They have humiliated my son, even more so when they jumped him and then put him in that bodybag and threw him in the paddy wagon like he was a piece of meat. They didn't consider that he was human, he is somebody. They treated him as if he was an animal and he was a criminal, and he is neither. They probably wouldn't treat an animal the way they treated my son. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What would you like from the airline to make you and Deshon whole? An apology?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First and foremost, an apology from US Airways. Their employees. I would think that they would want to apologize for taking this as far as it did, and it should not have gone this far.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"transcript\">\u003c/a>Here's an interview that KQED intern Erin Ferguson conducted with John McDonald, VP of Communications at US Airways, on San Francisco Supervisor Malia Cohen's call for a board resolution in support of Marman, including a request that US Airways apologize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Supervisor Malia Cohen urged US Airways to make their dress code policy more consistent and asked for a public statement of apology in the Deshon Marman case. What's your response? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're working with the San Francisco NAACP, Reverend Brown, and Miss Doyle, and we're prepared to work with them to help Mr. Marman get through the incident and land on his feet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The supervisor Malia Cohen said that she felt compelled to make this statement because she thought US Airways had handled this incident so poorly, with a very nonchalant and cavalier response. Your response?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's really important to remember that this issue is about passenger compliance with airline employee instuctions and crewmember directions. That was not complied with. That's what this issue is about. And hey, we're not perfect, I don't know any airline that is perfect. If there's a way that we can improve our customer service and interaction with passengers, we're certainly going to do that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the fact of the matter is, he refused to comply with the crewmember instructions and he was asked to deplane the aircraft. And tha'ts a safety and security issue, and that safety and security of our crews, our emloyees, and our customers is our top priority. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is US Airways dress code policy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not about dress code. This is about a person who was on one of our craft and refused to comply with a crewmember instruction and was asked to deplane. That's what this is about. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does US airways have any intention of apologizing to Marman, as Cohens' resolution calls for? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't apologize for our employees taking the safety and security of our aircraft, our crews, and out customers as a top priority.
