He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations.

But the industry turned a blind eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a few years now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ycombinator.com/\">Y Combinator\u003c/a> has been trying to face the problem of sexual harassment in the VC community head-on. The organization, one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious accelerators, runs essentially bootcamps for entrepreneurs starting up tech companies. It also introduces entrepreneurs to VCs, or the money men who invest in startups. (And yes, they are \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2017/03/13/female-founders-venture-capital/\">mostly men\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every year, Y Combinator sends out a form to the startup founders it works with, encouraging them to report sexual harassment. But when news of the tactic \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/this-influential-silicon-valley-firm-is-compiling-a-blacklist-of-venture-capitalists-who-harass-women/2017/07/14/1dfc7164-6661-11e7-8eb5-cbccc2e7bfbf_story.html?utm_term=.9f8bd60a8cdd\">got out recently\u003c/a>, it stirred some controversy and illustrated the potential landmines of trying to keep VCs in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a balancing act,” explains Sam Altman, Y Combinator’s president. He addressed the subject briefly on the sidelines of another interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/540578895/540652624\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman says they started sending out the questionnaire in 2014, when a startup founder reported that she had been sexually harassed. “And we just said, ‘We don’t want this, we have no tolerance for this. But we need people’s help — we obviously don’t see every interaction, so tell us,’ ” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Y Combinator receives a claim of sexual harassment, the organization evaluates its credibility, starting with interviews of both parties.

There were venture capitalists around Silicon Valley who knew these guys were “creeps” — or at least that’s how one of the VCs who resigned \u003ca href=\"https://500hats.com/im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0\">described himself\u003c/a>. But the industry turned a blind eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a few years now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ycombinator.com/\">Y Combinator\u003c/a> has been trying to face the problem of sexual harassment in the VC community head-on. The organization, one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious accelerators, runs essentially bootcamps for entrepreneurs starting up tech companies. It also introduces entrepreneurs to VCs, or the money men who invest in startups. (And yes, they are \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2017/03/13/female-founders-venture-capital/\">mostly men\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every year, Y Combinator sends out a form to the startup founders it works with, encouraging them to report sexual harassment. But when news of the tactic \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/this-influential-silicon-valley-firm-is-compiling-a-blacklist-of-venture-capitalists-who-harass-women/2017/07/14/1dfc7164-6661-11e7-8eb5-cbccc2e7bfbf_story.html?utm_term=.9f8bd60a8cdd\">got out recently\u003c/a>, it stirred some controversy and illustrated the potential landmines of trying to keep VCs in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a balancing act,” explains Sam Altman, Y Combinator’s president. He addressed the subject briefly on the sidelines of another interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tiger, a big orange guy in a grey sweater, perches on a seat near the front. A jet-black furball called Burger snoozes on a hammock in the back. Otis, a skinny striped cat, tries to eat my microphone. Cats are slinking around everywhere, but the yogis don’t mind -- in fact, they pay $30 an hour for the opportunity to stretch alongside these felines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathlyn Araya is a self-proclaimed \"cat lady\" and a regular at cat yoga.

She said she had worked in the sex trade since she was 12 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can prostitute yourself -- it’s a lot more than money. You can trade your body for … anything you can use,\" she said. \"It’s like, they talk and they, you know, they most likely won’t bother you if you’re giving them the cat.\" She clarified she meant \"vagina.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"bmpVuXXtBk5w3pobLIhJMfDpCdmrdlJB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The broader case involves Abuslin's relationships with officers from Oakland, Livermore, Richmond and San Francisco, as well as Alameda and Contra Costa County sheriff's deputies, according to legal claims filed against those jurisdictions.

The 49-51 vote was a major disappointment for the GOP, but a great relief for the state’s Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Health care is a matter of life and death. It affects every person in this country,” said Sen. \u003ca href=\"https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dianne Feinstein\u003c/a> (D-California) in a statement she released less than an hour after the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinstein lambasted Republicans for their secretive process, which bypassed the usual committees and public hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their closed process, which shut out doctors, patients, families, hospitals, health plans and advocates, yielded terrible bill after terrible bill,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, which eagerly embraced the ACA and erected a resilient insurance exchange known as “\u003ca href=\"http://www.coveredca.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Covered California\u003c/a>,” the relief was particularly strong on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under “skinny repeal,” 700,000 fewer Californians would been covered through individual plans sold on the exchange, according to a Covered California statement. An additional 300,000 Californians were expected to drop out of Medi-Cal due to the elimination of the individual mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”XsNSDpLjXrZDgcH6ktvPhh8huwRkIzCQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Covered California and the Medi-Cal expansion are safe for now, and we can feel more secure knowing that our families, friends and employees won’t lose their health insurance,” said Jonathan Greer, an independent health insurance broker in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greer said watching the prolonged legislative battle in D.C. was agonizing: “It was like watching a good friend or relative suffer in the hospital, not knowing if they would recover.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Democrats applauded Sen. John McCain’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=A952CCCA-66D2-4570-9D57-514561BF3D4D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call\u003c/a> for a return to bipartisanship after his thumbs-down “no” vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I could not agree more, ” said \u003ca href=\"https://bera.house.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">congressman Ami Bera\u003c/a> (D-Elk Grove). Bera, an internist. He’s one of two Democratic doctors in Congress.

Hernández, president and CEO of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Danger still lies ahead,” she \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/media/press-releases/2017/aca-law-land\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">warned\u003c/a>. “They will try to make enrollment more difficult, and cut back on public outreach. We especially need to keep a bright light on the budget and appropriations process and on tax reform efforts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernández predicts there will also be more attempts to slash funding for Medicaid and other medical safety-net programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. \u003ca href=\"https://calvert.house.gov/district/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ken Calvert\u003c/a> (R-Riverside County) says the status quo is a problem too big to ignore. “Despite political drama in the Senate, we must not lose sight of the fact that Obamacare premiums continue to rise and health insurance providers are dropping out of exchanges across the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvert urged Congress to keep working to provide Americans with the relief they need.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Priebus was the last of the high-profile RNC staffers to exit the West Wing.

Then it was Sean Spicer, the beleaguered press secretary doubling as communication director, who left the day Trump brought on board New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus’ tenure lasted just seven months, an unusually short stint for a president’s first chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11599029\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11599029\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/gettyimages-822299952-13725d4fc6bc62911b851c90590e172a1f8d8b11-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer entering the White House in July.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer entering the White House in July. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Priebus and ‘The Mooch’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite lauding Priebus in his first appearance in the White House Briefing Room, Scaramucci days later revealed simmering tensions with the then-chief of staff.

But there were signs that Priebus was, at times, out of the loop, like when Trump decided to hire Scaramucci. Both Priebus and senior adviser Steve Bannon reportedly objected strenuously to the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that Priebus is the one who is out certainly lends credence to the idea that the New York wing, which believes in letting Trump be Trump, is ascendant in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Embracing the Tornado\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As chairman of the RNC, Priebus had the unenviable role of trying to keep the roof on the Republican Party house with Trump, an outsider tornado, spiraling toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus tried to contain the tornado, getting Trump to agree to a pledge not to run third party in the fall, if he lost the nomination. But the tornado of Trump only got stronger, and no amount of plywood and nails would keep the house in order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Priebus opened the doors and arguably did more than anyone else in the party to embrace the coming force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t mean he wasn’t critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever,” Priebus said in October when the \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> video was revealed. Trump was caught on tape bragging about grabbing women “by the p****,” because “when you’re a star, they let you do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Priebus had to temper his criticisms throughout the campaign, so he didn’t suffer Trump’s wrath — and the party didn’t implode. During the general-election campaign, Priebus’ RNC wound up supplementing Trump’s skeleton campaign with millions of dollars in resources and hundreds of field workers in key states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Loss of an Ally\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus wound up winning over Trump. Perhaps it was a calculated decision to get support from someone with ties to a crucial state. Trump needed Priebus, a member of the so-called “Cheesehead Mafia.” Priebus is close with House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite.

That brought Trump and Priebus close, but it was never a natural fit — the mild-mannered, careful former Wisconsin Republican Party leader with the Midwestern accent, once critically described as the “\u003ca href=\"https://spectator.org/60700_scorpion-and-gerbil/\">nebbish’s nebbish\u003c/a>,” and the flashy, cavalier New York billionaire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus’ exit indicates the full decline in the White House of the RNC-led Washington wing.

But there were signs that Priebus was, at times, out of the loop, like when Trump decided to hire Scaramucci. Both Priebus and senior adviser Steve Bannon reportedly objected strenuously to the move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that Priebus is the one who is out certainly lends credence to the idea that the New York wing, which believes in letting Trump be Trump, is ascendant in the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Embracing the Tornado\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As chairman of the RNC, Priebus had the unenviable role of trying to keep the roof on the Republican Party house with Trump, an outsider tornado, spiraling toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus tried to contain the tornado, getting Trump to agree to a pledge not to run third party in the fall, if he lost the nomination. But the tornado of Trump only got stronger, and no amount of plywood and nails would keep the house in order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Priebus opened the doors and arguably did more than anyone else in the party to embrace the coming force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t mean he wasn’t critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever,” Priebus said in October when the \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> video was revealed. Trump was caught on tape bragging about grabbing women “by the p****,” because “when you’re a star, they let you do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Priebus had to temper his criticisms throughout the campaign, so he didn’t suffer Trump’s wrath — and the party didn’t implode. During the general-election campaign, Priebus’ RNC wound up supplementing Trump’s skeleton campaign with millions of dollars in resources and hundreds of field workers in key states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Loss of an Ally\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priebus wound up winning over Trump. Perhaps it was a calculated decision to get support from someone with ties to a crucial state.

The board's recommendations, released in December, called on DWR officials to investigate the green spot and try to determine whether it posed a threat to the dam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This issue has a high historical profile that needs to be conclusively addressed,\" the consultants commented in one section of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 2014 Part 12D report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board said that while much of the dam's behavior was understood, \"one issue that seems to not have been addressed by previous stability analyses is that associated with the green spot on the downstream face of the dam.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consultants' report noted that the final construction report for the dam, which went into service in 1968, indicated that the green spot area was observed even before Lake Oroville began rising behind the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The green spot is believed to be associated with pre-existing natural springs in the downstream left abutment area of the dam foundation,\" the Part 12D report says. The concentration of moisture, the document speculates, could be due to the composition of the rock and earth used to build the dam's downstream embankment. The fill, which may contain excessive volumes of very fine, dense material, \"may prevent free drainage of flows from those underlying springs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four consultants said that although there was no evidence of movement or instability in the green spot area, they recommended the Department of Water Resources investigate to see whether the persistent moisture could pose a risk to the dam, especially in the event an earthquake occurred during a period of particularly wet conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n response, the Department of Water Resources has told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission it intends to answer questions raised in the 2014 safety board report by September 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department last year got approval to bore a hole as deep as 150 feet in the dam's left abutment, adjacent to the green spot area. The drilling was to pursue a separate issue raised by the safety board -- the seismic vulnerability of Oroville Dam and nearby facilities. As part of that work, DWR told FERC, it planned to install an instrument for \"monitoring groundwater levels in proximity (to) the historic 'green spot' within the dam embankment. Data collected may provide beneficial in understanding the origin of seepage within the left abutment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a wave of questions raised by the UC Berkeley Center for Catastrophic Risk Management report issued last week, DWR says it's preparing a preliminary report on the green spot as well as a longer-term study of the issue. The report is due out next week, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions about DWR's response to the safety board recommendations or suggestions for monitoring made in the department's own inspection reports, Mellon said regular monitoring was ongoing and that \"to date, no issues of concern have been noted.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bea, the leader of the UC Berkeley study, says that DWR has been complacent in its response to a host of issues related to the dam, including the green spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think these people are looking at these pieces of evidence and using their logic, 'Well, this dam's been here for 50 years. We've seen these wet spots before, and it's performed satisfactorily,' \" Bea said. \"What they're then concluding is that as you move forward into the future it will continue to perform satisfactorily. That conclusion is premised on a belief there won't be any changes as you move into the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bea says that posture is similar to the one the department took to the dam's spillway. The imposing concrete structure had undergone several rounds of extensive repairs before it failed in February. Despite that history of recurring problems, there's no evidence that the department considered the possibility that the spillway might need to be rebuilt, and DWR inspections through last August consistently declared the structure fit for continued use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They kept thinking (that despite) these early warning signs -- 'Yeah, they're unusual, we've got to put concrete patches on those cracks. And yeah, there are voids under the concrete that we'll fill with concrete' -- it's going to remain stable,\" Bea said. \"That proved to be disastrously wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The board's recommendations, released in December, called on DWR officials to investigate the green spot and try to determine whether it posed a threat to the dam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This issue has a high historical profile that needs to be conclusively addressed,\" the consultants commented in one section of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 2014 Part 12D report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board said that while much of the dam's behavior was understood, \"one issue that seems to not have been addressed by previous stability analyses is that associated with the green spot on the downstream face of the dam.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consultants' report noted that the final construction report for the dam, which went into service in 1968, indicated that the green spot area was observed even before Lake Oroville began rising behind the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The green spot is believed to be associated with pre-existing natural springs in the downstream left abutment area of the dam foundation,\" the Part 12D report says. The concentration of moisture, the document speculates, could be due to the composition of the rock and earth used to build the dam's downstream embankment. The fill, which may contain excessive volumes of very fine, dense material, \"may prevent free drainage of flows from those underlying springs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four consultants said that although there was no evidence of movement or instability in the green spot area, they recommended the Department of Water Resources investigate to see whether the persistent moisture could pose a risk to the dam, especially in the event an earthquake occurred during a period of particularly wet conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">I\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>n response, the Department of Water Resources has told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission it intends to answer questions raised in the 2014 safety board report by September 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department last year got approval to bore a hole as deep as 150 feet in the dam's left abutment, adjacent to the green spot area. The drilling was to pursue a separate issue raised by the safety board -- the seismic vulnerability of Oroville Dam and nearby facilities. As part of that work, DWR told FERC, it planned to install an instrument for \"monitoring groundwater levels in proximity (to) the historic 'green spot' within the dam embankment. Data collected may provide beneficial in understanding the origin of seepage within the left abutment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a wave of questions raised by the UC Berkeley Center for Catastrophic Risk Management report issued last week, DWR says it's preparing a preliminary report on the green spot as well as a longer-term study of the issue. The report is due out next week, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to questions about DWR's response to the safety board recommendations or suggestions for monitoring made in the department's own inspection reports, Mellon said regular monitoring was ongoing and that \"to date, no issues of concern have been noted.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bea, the leader of the UC Berkeley study, says that DWR has been complacent in its response to a host of issues related to the dam, including the green spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think these people are looking at these pieces of evidence and using their logic, 'Well, this dam's been here for 50 years. We've seen these wet spots before, and it's performed satisfactorily,' \" Bea said. \"What they're then concluding is that as you move forward into the future it will continue to perform satisfactorily. That conclusion is premised on a belief there won't be any changes as you move into the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bea says that posture is similar to the one the department took to the dam's spillway. The imposing concrete structure had undergone several rounds of extensive repairs before it failed in February. Despite that history of recurring problems, there's no evidence that the department considered the possibility that the spillway might need to be rebuilt, and DWR inspections through last August consistently declared the structure fit for continued use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
