I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

At first, he worked in a soap factory. Eventually, he started going to night school and got a degree at the University of California Berkeley in social welfare. This launched his career as a social worker, working mostly with Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 82 years of age, Cross is one of several transplants, now elderly, featured in the exhibition’s oral testimony video, a collaboration between NUMU and San Jose State’s anthropology department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Native Americans living in California’s urban center found each other. Santa Clara Native American community member Arvine Pilcher says Native Americans gradually developed a sense of cross-tribal unity because of their shared experience out west. “We’ve all become one nation, living in California,” Pilcher says. “We’re not Navajos, Eskimos, Sioux, you know, Nez Perce. I really feel like we’re all one nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health centers, amateur basketball leagues, regional potlucks and pow wows — these were the building blocks of a new community.

Trudell was the group’s spokesman. “If we’re free, we want the right to make our own decisions,” he says \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/187785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in video footage\u003c/a> from one of the many press conferences held on the island at that time. “We don’t want the ‘Great White Father’ making the decision for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the occupiers didn’t win Alcatraz.

Santa Clara Native American community member Arvine Pilcher says Native Americans gradually developed a sense of cross-tribal unity because of their shared experience out west. “We’ve all become one nation, living in California,” Pilcher says. “We’re not Navajos, Eskimos, Sioux, you know, Nez Perce.

"content": "\u003cp>Before they get to work on reforming the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Congress and the White House might want to take a closer look at the last time they tried it — a $16 billion fix called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr3230/text\">Veterans Choice and Accountability Act\u003c/a> of 2014, designed to get veterans medical care more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR and local member stations have been following that money, including the $10 billion for vets to get care \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/479609181/from-back-at-base-coverage-of-the-veterans-choice-program\">outside the VA system\u003c/a>. The Choice Act also channeled about $2.5 billion for hiring more doctors, nurses and other medical staff at VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the hiring money was to address a simple math problem. The number of veterans coming to the VA has shot up in recent years, and the number of medical staff has not kept pace. The idea was that more caregivers would cut wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an investigation by NPR and local member stations found that: the VA has about the same number of new hires as the VA would have been projected to hire without the additional $2.5 billion; the new hires weren't sent to VA hospitals with the longest wait times; and the VA medical centers that got new hires were not more likely to see improved wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512052311/512592790\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Diego's wait-time dilemma\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego's experience is typical. The Southern California city is home to one of the largest concentrations of post-9/11 veterans, and when the Veterans Choice Act passed, the San Diego VA had some of the country's worst wait times for mental health care in particular. The act was meant to help former soldiers like Charlie Grijalva, who was diagnosed with PTSD when he was still in the Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2014, Grijalva lived with his wife, Gloria, in Imperial Valley — about two hours from the VA hospital in San Diego. After spending 18 months deployed in Afghanistan, and a year in Iraq, he started having suicidal thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA tried to help him. Early in 2014, the doctors there seemed to get his prescription right. By summer, his psychiatrist had left the VA, but Grijalva was transferred to a nurse practitioner. He missed an appointment in September 2014, according to records provided by the VA, but the new provider agreed to refill his prescription over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Diego's wait times were so long, under the new Choice program, Grijalva qualified to see a private doctor outside the VA system. He had an initial consultation with the private psychiatrist near his home, but he didn't live to begin treatment. In December 2014, his medication ran out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grijalva had a young family and a new baby on the way. His wife said he insisted on giving his kids a magical Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, you know, 'I want to do what I did as a kid,' \" Gloria Grijalva said. \"Play some Christmas music. Have the kids decorate the tree, drink hot chocolate. ... Even though he was feeling the way he was, he wanted to have that kind of Christmas for his kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't to be. A few days before Christmas, his wife found him. He had hanged himself a few hours after he texted her, \"I love you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has told me when he was at his lowest that [he] 'didn't want my kids to see me like this; I don't want to put my kids through this,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His VA records show Grijalva went to one last appointment at the VA in San Diego, scheduled in December. His medication arrived just before his death. Around the time of his death, the VA was just beginning to implement the Veterans Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego seemed like a prime candidate to get extra staff. But the NPR and local member station analysis of the VA's own data show that San Diego got far fewer new staff members than it requested, and also fewer than many other VA centers that didn't have such bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298363\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-800x730.jpg\" alt=\"AddlStaffVA\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-160x146.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-240x219.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-375x342.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-520x475.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No logical staffing pattern\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA data show no logical pattern for distributing the 12,000 doctors, nurses and other medical staff hired under the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Shulkin became head of the Veterans Health Administration after that law passed, but has been overseeing the reform since 2015. Last fall, he told NPR that the Choice hires were based on a survey of VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our goal is to get [the medical centers] the health professionals that they need. So that's the Choice money. We wanted everybody to go out and execute on it, and to use that money as quickly as possible because we have a sense of crisis,\" said Shulkin, who has been nominated to become secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. His confirmation hearing is expected this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the VA focused on places where the staff was most needed. Thirty-three medical centers were \"prioritized\" among the VA's 168 hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the VA data show that prioritized medical centers didn't always get more resources than others. Los Angeles was prioritized and got only about 108 new hires from the Choice money. Dallas, a similarly large center, got almost three times as many (298), even though Dallas was not \"prioritized\" and didn't have particularly bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-800x790.jpg\" alt=\"AddlVAstaff\" width=\"800\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-240x237.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-375x370.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-520x514.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cincinnati have about the same volume of appointments. But Albuquerque had among the worst wait times in the country for mental health, while Cincinnati was among the best. The VA's data show both received the same number of psychiatrists from the Choice money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait times across the board have not come down, though the VA says that's because of a continuing surge in demand from patients. And Shulkin stressed that wait times are not the most important measure of health care. He says efficiency is up and the number of veterans waiting for urgent care has shrunk from tens of thousands to a mere dozen or two. Still, it was the long wait times — and the harm they did to veterans — that drove Congress to pass the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow hiring in a tough market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses are scarce nationwide. In the economic centers where many vets live, medical professionals often find better offers at private hospitals. And in rural or remote areas, there often are very few doctors or nurses available to work at either VA or private hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin knows that his hiring process is cumbersome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The complexity of hiring puts us at a disadvantage with the private sector. We are very fortunate that people wait and turn down private sector jobs because this is where they want to work and this is the mission ... but frankly we have to be competitive,\" he told NPR last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin came to the VA from the private sector, he said, to get the department in step with best practices. He has succeeded in getting some salaries up to private-sector levels. But the roughly $2.5 billion from the Choice Act resulted in a net gain of only a few thousand doctors and nurses, across a system that serves about 9 million veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11298308\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11298308\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Secretary of Veterans' Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on February 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1180x742.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-960x604.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Secretary of Veterans Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(ZACH GIBSON/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's partly because the VA's process is so slow that about 13 percent of candidates drop out during the months-long lag time after they are hired. NPR and local member stations spoke with more than half a dozen current VA employees about this problem, but none agreed to be quoted. Almetta Pitts is a former VA employee who used to work at the VA in Seattle. Waiting to start that job nearly left her broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took about six months. And so I had to think about ways to just put my money together to be able to really be able to pursue this job,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitts liked the VA. She interned at the VA in Seattle while pursuing her master's in social work. Her mother, an Army vet, was already working there as a federal police officer. After a series of interviews, Pitts was notified she had been hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I received my acceptance letter and it did inform me that I started that September and I was like 'Oh my gosh, I'm so excited,' but ... 'Wow, it's like May.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the four months of waiting, Pitts moved back in with her mom to save money until the job started. She ended up working for the VA for 13 months and was laid off. At the time, Human Resources offered to help find another job at a VA out of state. She loved her work helping traumatized veterans, but Pitts decided she had to move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Budget shuffling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason the $2.5 billion bump didn't seem to raise the VA's staffing levels may have more to do with Washington bureaucracy than health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR found that the rate of increase in VA staff after the Choice money was not noticeably different than past years without it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Choice hiring money from Congress mostly replaced, instead of augmented, the VA's normal hiring budget, which freed up less restricted money to take care of other needs. Shulkin defends how the money was spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're given a budget you face a number of new stresses on those resources. You have increases in pharmaceuticals, you have your wage increase, you have your leasing cost increases, you have IT increases. So without the Choice money, we would not have been able to have maintained the type of hiring that we were doing and expanded the type of hiring we were doing,\" Shulkin told NPR in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sort of budgeting strategy is common in Washington, according to Phil Carter, of the Center for New American Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes complete sense for a self-interested bureaucracy to hire with that money first. I think VA hired staff with this money will all intention of improving access and quality. I think the VA leadership found it harder to do that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter says that the VA has a difficult time projecting what needs it will have across a system of 168 hospitals nationwide, and that the VA may just have been hiring at its maximum capacity in a tough market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I don't see malice here, just the basic inefficacy of American bureaucracy,\" Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some Republicans in Congress do see something more malicious — a shell game to free up money from congressional restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the House Committee on Veterans Affairs said: \"It was a money grab, with no plan on where to put people, and VA used the funds to fill existing vacancies for the most part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Juan Elosua contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a project we're calling \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/363340041/back-at-base\">Back at Base,\u003c/a>\"\u003cem> in which NPR — along with public radio stations around the country — is chronicling the lives of America's troops where they live.\u003c/em>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The Choice Act also channeled about $2.5 billion for hiring more doctors, nurses and other medical staff at VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the hiring money was to address a simple math problem. The number of veterans coming to the VA has shot up in recent years, and the number of medical staff has not kept pace. The idea was that more caregivers would cut wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But an investigation by NPR and local member stations found that: the VA has about the same number of new hires as the VA would have been projected to hire without the additional $2.5 billion; the new hires weren't sent to VA hospitals with the longest wait times; and the VA medical centers that got new hires were not more likely to see improved wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512052311/512592790\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Southern California city is home to one of the largest concentrations of post-9/11 veterans, and when the Veterans Choice Act passed, the San Diego VA had some of the country's worst wait times for mental health care in particular. The act was meant to help former soldiers like Charlie Grijalva, who was diagnosed with PTSD when he was still in the Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2014, Grijalva lived with his wife, Gloria, in Imperial Valley — about two hours from the VA hospital in San Diego. After spending 18 months deployed in Afghanistan, and a year in Iraq, he started having suicidal thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA tried to help him. Early in 2014, the doctors there seemed to get his prescription right. By summer, his psychiatrist had left the VA, but Grijalva was transferred to a nurse practitioner. He missed an appointment in September 2014, according to records provided by the VA, but the new provider agreed to refill his prescription over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Diego's wait times were so long, under the new Choice program, Grijalva qualified to see a private doctor outside the VA system. He had an initial consultation with the private psychiatrist near his home, but he didn't live to begin treatment. In December 2014, his medication ran out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grijalva had a young family and a new baby on the way. His wife said he insisted on giving his kids a magical Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, you know, 'I want to do what I did as a kid,' \" Gloria Grijalva said. \"Play some Christmas music. Have the kids decorate the tree, drink hot chocolate. ... Even though he was feeling the way he was, he wanted to have that kind of Christmas for his kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't to be. A few days before Christmas, his wife found him. He had hanged himself a few hours after he texted her, \"I love you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has told me when he was at his lowest that [he] 'didn't want my kids to see me like this; I don't want to put my kids through this,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His VA records show Grijalva went to one last appointment at the VA in San Diego, scheduled in December. His medication arrived just before his death. Around the time of his death, the VA was just beginning to implement the Veterans Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego seemed like a prime candidate to get extra staff. But the NPR and local member station analysis of the VA's own data show that San Diego got far fewer new staff members than it requested, and also fewer than many other VA centers that didn't have such bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298363\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-800x730.jpg\" alt=\"AddlStaffVA\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-160x146.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-240x219.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-375x342.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-520x475.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No logical staffing pattern\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA data show no logical pattern for distributing the 12,000 doctors, nurses and other medical staff hired under the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Shulkin became head of the Veterans Health Administration after that law passed, but has been overseeing the reform since 2015. Last fall, he told NPR that the Choice hires were based on a survey of VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our goal is to get [the medical centers] the health professionals that they need. So that's the Choice money. We wanted everybody to go out and execute on it, and to use that money as quickly as possible because we have a sense of crisis,\" said Shulkin, who has been nominated to become secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. His confirmation hearing is expected this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the VA focused on places where the staff was most needed. Thirty-three medical centers were \"prioritized\" among the VA's 168 hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the VA data show that prioritized medical centers didn't always get more resources than others. Los Angeles was prioritized and got only about 108 new hires from the Choice money. Dallas, a similarly large center, got almost three times as many (298), even though Dallas was not \"prioritized\" and didn't have particularly bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-800x790.jpg\" alt=\"AddlVAstaff\" width=\"800\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-240x237.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-375x370.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-520x514.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cincinnati have about the same volume of appointments. But Albuquerque had among the worst wait times in the country for mental health, while Cincinnati was among the best. The VA's data show both received the same number of psychiatrists from the Choice money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait times across the board have not come down, though the VA says that's because of a continuing surge in demand from patients. And Shulkin stressed that wait times are not the most important measure of health care. He says efficiency is up and the number of veterans waiting for urgent care has shrunk from tens of thousands to a mere dozen or two. Still, it was the long wait times — and the harm they did to veterans — that drove Congress to pass the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow hiring in a tough market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses are scarce nationwide. In the economic centers where many vets live, medical professionals often find better offers at private hospitals. And in rural or remote areas, there often are very few doctors or nurses available to work at either VA or private hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin knows that his hiring process is cumbersome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The complexity of hiring puts us at a disadvantage with the private sector. We are very fortunate that people wait and turn down private sector jobs because this is where they want to work and this is the mission ... but frankly we have to be competitive,\" he told NPR last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin came to the VA from the private sector, he said, to get the department in step with best practices. He has succeeded in getting some salaries up to private-sector levels. But the roughly $2.5 billion from the Choice Act resulted in a net gain of only a few thousand doctors and nurses, across a system that serves about 9 million veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11298308\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11298308\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Secretary of Veterans' Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on February 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1180x742.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-960x604.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Secretary of Veterans Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(ZACH GIBSON/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's partly because the VA's process is so slow that about 13 percent of candidates drop out during the months-long lag time after they are hired. NPR and local member stations spoke with more than half a dozen current VA employees about this problem, but none agreed to be quoted. Almetta Pitts is a former VA employee who used to work at the VA in Seattle. Waiting to start that job nearly left her broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took about six months. And so I had to think about ways to just put my money together to be able to really be able to pursue this job,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitts liked the VA. She interned at the VA in Seattle while pursuing her master's in social work. Her mother, an Army vet, was already working there as a federal police officer. After a series of interviews, Pitts was notified she had been hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I received my acceptance letter and it did inform me that I started that September and I was like 'Oh my gosh, I'm so excited,' but ... 'Wow, it's like May.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the four months of waiting, Pitts moved back in with her mom to save money until the job started. She ended up working for the VA for 13 months and was laid off. At the time, Human Resources offered to help find another job at a VA out of state. She loved her work helping traumatized veterans, but Pitts decided she had to move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Budget shuffling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason the $2.5 billion bump didn't seem to raise the VA's staffing levels may have more to do with Washington bureaucracy than health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR found that the rate of increase in VA staff after the Choice money was not noticeably different than past years without it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Choice hiring money from Congress mostly replaced, instead of augmented, the VA's normal hiring budget, which freed up less restricted money to take care of other needs. Shulkin defends how the money was spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're given a budget you face a number of new stresses on those resources. You have increases in pharmaceuticals, you have your wage increase, you have your leasing cost increases, you have IT increases. So without the Choice money, we would not have been able to have maintained the type of hiring that we were doing and expanded the type of hiring we were doing,\" Shulkin told NPR in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sort of budgeting strategy is common in Washington, according to Phil Carter, of the Center for New American Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes complete sense for a self-interested bureaucracy to hire with that money first. I think VA hired staff with this money will all intention of improving access and quality. I think the VA leadership found it harder to do that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter says that the VA has a difficult time projecting what needs it will have across a system of 168 hospitals nationwide, and that the VA may just have been hiring at its maximum capacity in a tough market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I don't see malice here, just the basic inefficacy of American bureaucracy,\" Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some Republicans in Congress do see something more malicious — a shell game to free up money from congressional restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the House Committee on Veterans Affairs said: \"It was a money grab, with no plan on where to put people, and VA used the funds to fill existing vacancies for the most part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Juan Elosua contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a project we're calling \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/363340041/back-at-base\">Back at Base,\u003c/a>\"\u003cem> in which NPR — along with public radio stations around the country — is chronicling the lives of America's troops where they live.\u003c/em>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The small bungalows and Craftsman-style homes built for cannery workers and blue-collar folks leave them with a desire to preserve a way of life that predates the modern definition of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost like the ’50s,” says Henni Kaufman, treasurer of the Burbank Community Association. “I do a lot of yard work and I’m out there and the kids come and talk to me.

The bedrooms have no closets and the street in front of her home is so narrow that you can park on only one side of it. Perhaps it was the perfect width for a horse-drawn carriage, but not enough for the cars of today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Areas like Burbank developed long before the neighborhoods around them did, says Bill Shoe, the principal planner of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/dpd/Programs/Islands/Pages/UrbanIslands.aspx\">Santa Clara Planning Department\u003c/a>. In fact, developers began building the first residential tracts in Burbank as early as 1904. Shoe says these islands are a direct result of the way San Jose expanded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re like a window into the history of urbanization in the county,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After World War II, the suburbanization of San Jose mirrored national trends. Returning veterans, the advent of the car and expanding freeways incentivized the city to expand its borders as a way to grow its tax base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this growth wasn’t always uniform or rational. Because some land was easier to annex than others, the city would skip over pockets of land to continue its outward growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It resulted in an irregular and dysfunctional set of boundaries,” Shoe says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pockets of land that got skipped over were often neighborhoods with homes built by those who worked at the canneries or in agriculture before the war — long before anyone thought about suburbanization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10961231\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10961231 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/6074154702_c17ae6e62d_o-400x320.jpg\" alt=\"The Burbank Community Theater\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/6074154702_c17ae6e62d_o-400x320.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/6074154702_c17ae6e62d_o.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Burbank Theater on Bascom Avenue opened in 1949. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/bvna/6074154702/in/photolist-afKCuN-afGWjt-9Q2eb-69rpNv-h2x6F-afKEeS-h2xac-9Q2fB-afGWc2-h2x5e-fmGgu-afGStK-afGSpt-9Q2dN-h2x9o-9Q2dC-h2x6e-afGTXX-afKEGh-afGV8B-9Q2fj-h2x5v-9Q2fN-fmGjX-afGUR6-9Q2gW-afKEvW-afKFFE-h2xb9-h2x7F-9Q2g6-9Q2hs-h2x7f-9Q2ei-h2xc9-9Q2hm-9Q2dw-afKCzd-afKGKE-afGUMg-h2x8p-afGV3g-9Q2gR-afGUfx-fmGhC-h2x8T-afGVZH-h2xaJ-fmGj7-h2xbB\">BVNA\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It’s a reflection of the history,” says Shoe. “Of the time when cars were not as predominant, and when people still had horses and carriages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At their peak, there were likely hundreds of unincorporated islands in Santa Clara County, but the county did not keep documentation of these islands until they launched an island annexation program in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, the county still had 180 unincorporated areas. Eighty-nine percent of them were smaller than 150 acres. That number has been whittled down to 87 islands that remain today. The largest and most well-known include Burbank, Alum Rock and Cambrian.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Plans to Annex\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While there aren’t as many unincorporated urban islands as there once were, the county plans to eventually dissolve them all into neighboring and surrounding cities, says Neelima Palacherla, executive officer of the Local Agency Formation Commission of Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palacherla says the county simply wasn’t built to provide services to unincorporated islands. Sometimes, she says, this system gets confusing for both the county and unincorporated residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There could be a lot of confusion for residents who live in an island regarding who provides services to them in an emergency. Who do they call?” says Palacherla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New residents, like Henni Kaufman, sometimes have no idea they moved into an unincorporated area. Some don’t find out until an emergency or an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are things like sidewalks. In San Jose, all major developments must have sidewalks. In unincorporated islands, they’re simply not required — though sometimes residents put them in themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10954171\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 866px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10954171 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/UnincorporatedSCC.jpg\" alt=\"The unincorporated island of Burbank. \" width=\"866\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/UnincorporatedSCC.jpg 866w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/UnincorporatedSCC-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/UnincorporatedSCC-800x517.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The unincorporated island of Burbank. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/dpd/Programs/Islands/Pages/UrbanIslands.aspx\">Santa Clara Department of Planning and Development\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“By annexing into a city, they know that they’re receiving or will be receiving services from an agency — which is the city — that was created and geared to provide services to their neighborhood and their area, as opposed to the county, which has to provide these services in a very scattered manner,” Palacherla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t expect mass annexation any time soon. There are plenty of obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of … just how lengthy [annexation] could be, and how expensive and cumbersome, many of the city’s residents and county are not interested in going through this process,” Palacherla says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Annexation is perceived to be so cumbersome, she says, that the county is working on creating a more streamlined process. The traditional process starts with the proposed annexation, then moves onto zoning designations, community meetings for larger areas, and planning commission and city council hearings. Sometimes, in between all of this, there are protests from residents. In other cases, cities simply don’t see any financial benefit to annexation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most contentious annexation battle in recent history happened in 2011, when San Jose and the neighboring city of Campbell fought to win over the hearts of 1,000 residents in a 103-acre island known as Cambrian 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cambrian residents had a strong unincorporated neighborhood association that protested annexation at public hearings in San Jose. The city had its eye on the promise of new tax revenue to be generated by the island’s annexation. The deal ended in a $1 million settlement between the two cities. Campbell got the island, and San Jose got the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose has stepped up its annexation proceedings over the last 10 years, taking over dozens of islands as part of an \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1632\">annexation collaboration\u003c/a> between the county and San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There might be a time in the near future when it becomes a focus of the cities, but it’s hard to predict,” says Shoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burbank residents who want to hold onto their unincorporated status are nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10958604\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10958604 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"A welcome sign in Burbank. \" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/05/0M6A4771-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A welcome sign in Burbank. \u003ccite>(Ericka Cruz Guevarra)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We in the Burbank area are challenged,” Colson says. “We’re brainstorming how we can keep some semblance of an identity here and keep this kind of character.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents like Jane Power say it’s about saving the community from the redevelopment that has changed San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to keep the unique housing,” she says. “We don’t want to have it bulldozed down and have another high-rise take up three or four lots where we have single-family housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, Shoe says it’s unclear when full annexation of the remaining pockets will happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until then, Burbank will remain exactly the way Jane Power likes it: special.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The traditional process starts with the proposed annexation, then moves onto zoning designations, community meetings for larger areas, and planning commission and city council hearings.

In other cases, cities simply don’t see any financial benefit to annexation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most contentious annexation battle in recent history happened in 2011, when San Jose and the neighboring city of Campbell fought to win over the hearts of 1,000 residents in a 103-acre island known as Cambrian 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cambrian residents had a strong unincorporated neighborhood association that protested annexation at public hearings in San Jose.

From Dirks' letter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Yiannopoulos is not the first of his ilk to speak at Berkeley and he will not be the last. In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to “entertain,” but also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas. He has been widely and rightly condemned for engaging in hate speech directed at a wide range of groups and individuals, as well as for disparaging and ridiculing individual audience members, particularly members of the LGBTQ community. Mr. Yiannopoulos’s opinions and behavior can elicit strong reactions and his attacks can be extremely hurtful and disturbing. Although we urge anyone who is concerned about being targeted by Mr. Yiannopoulos to consider whether there is any value in attending this event, we stand ready to provide resources and support to our community members who may be adversely affected by his words and actions on the stage (we will provide more detail about these resources in a subsequent message).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the announcement of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s visit, we have received many requests that we ban him from campus and cancel the event. Although we have responded to these requests directly, we would like to explain to the entire campus community why the event will be held as planned. First, from a legal perspective, the U.S. Constitution prohibits UC Berkeley, as a public institution, from banning expression based on its content or viewpoints, even when those viewpoints are hateful or discriminatory. Longstanding campus policy permits registered student organizations to invite speakers to campus and to make free use of meeting space in the Student Union for that purpose. As mentioned, the BCR is the host of this event, and therefore it is only they who have the authority to disinvite Mr. Yiannopoulos. Consistent with the dictates of the First Amendment as uniformly and decisively interpreted by the courts, the university cannot censor or prohibit events, or charge differential fees. Some have asked us whether attacks on individuals are also protected. In fact, critical statements and even the demeaning ridicule of individuals are largely protected by the Constitution; in this case, Yiannopoulos’s past words and deeds do not justify prior restraint on his freedom of expression or the cancellation of the event.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bert Johnson, Sukey Lewis, Ana Tintocalis and The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

From Dirks' letter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Mr. Yiannopoulos is not the first of his ilk to speak at Berkeley and he will not be the last. In our view, Mr. Yiannopoulos is a troll and provocateur who uses odious behavior in part to “entertain,” but also to deflect any serious engagement with ideas. He has been widely and rightly condemned for engaging in hate speech directed at a wide range of groups and individuals, as well as for disparaging and ridiculing individual audience members, particularly members of the LGBTQ community. Mr. Yiannopoulos’s opinions and behavior can elicit strong reactions and his attacks can be extremely hurtful and disturbing. Although we urge anyone who is concerned about being targeted by Mr. Yiannopoulos to consider whether there is any value in attending this event, we stand ready to provide resources and support to our community members who may be adversely affected by his words and actions on the stage (we will provide more detail about these resources in a subsequent message).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the announcement of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s visit, we have received many requests that we ban him from campus and cancel the event. Although we have responded to these requests directly, we would like to explain to the entire campus community why the event will be held as planned. First, from a legal perspective, the U.S. Constitution prohibits UC Berkeley, as a public institution, from banning expression based on its content or viewpoints, even when those viewpoints are hateful or discriminatory. Longstanding campus policy permits registered student organizations to invite speakers to campus and to make free use of meeting space in the Student Union for that purpose. As mentioned, the BCR is the host of this event, and therefore it is only they who have the authority to disinvite Mr. Yiannopoulos. Consistent with the dictates of the First Amendment as uniformly and decisively interpreted by the courts, the university cannot censor or prohibit events, or charge differential fees. Some have asked us whether attacks on individuals are also protected. In fact, critical statements and even the demeaning ridicule of individuals are largely protected by the Constitution; in this case, Yiannopoulos’s past words and deeds do not justify prior restraint on his freedom of expression or the cancellation of the event.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She said she plans to add additional plaintiffs to the original complaint, including more than 200 others who were bound for the U.S. and are stuck in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those to be reunited with family members in the U.S. but who are waiting in Djibouti are two young children, 3 and 6, who have been left waiting there with relatives, Goldberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge also ordered the government to return plaintiffs' passports to them, and to immediately inform authorities at Los Angeles International Airport and International Airport in Djibouti to allow them to travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles-based attorney Daniel Covarrubias-Klein, who works with Goldberg, told KPCC that some of the Yemenis affected have waited months or longer in Djibouti as they await permission to travel to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What the order is saying is, 'Look, on a temporary basis, don't cancel their visas,' \" Covarrubias-Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not clear if officials will follow the court order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Associated Press reported the State Department declined to comment on Judge Birotte's order because it said it does not comment on pending lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to AP, the State Department ordered all visas from the seven countries revoked on Friday, and the government has maintained that orders similar to Birotte's do not apply because the visas are no longer valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court order is among the latest in a flurry of legal actions taken by judges across the country since U.S. immigration officials began enforcing the president's travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of people traveling from the seven countries were detained at LAX over the weekend, some held for up to 12 hours or more while they were questioned before they were released. The detentions prompted mass protests at the airport and elsewhere in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldberg said this judge's order is different from others issued so far in that it reaches those overseas who had valid immigrant visas to travel, and demands that the U.S. government allow them to continue. She said the order has been served and that a federal judge has entered an appearance on the docket. But so far, she said, she has not seen authorities comply with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one is responding,\" she said, \"but my clients are still not getting clearance to get on an airline.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
