In 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/documents/equity-analysis-and-proposed-medical-cannabis-ordinance-amendments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">77 percent\u003c/a> of those arrested for cannabis-related crimes were black, although just one-third of the city's population was black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certain communities have been policed for the same activities because we know that white people use drugs and sell drugs at approximately the same rate that black and brown people do, but they don't get jailed at the same rate,\" says Darlene Flynn of Oakland's Department of Race and Equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now the city is trying to right that wrong through the\u003ca href=\"https://beta.oaklandca.gov/news/2017/city-of-oakland-releases-medical-cannabis-permit-applications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Equity Cannabis Permit Program,\u003c/a> which started in May. Through the program, the city will give permits to weed entrepreneurs who want to enter Oakland's legal weed economy when it becomes legal to sell recreational cannabis in California next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it will give priority to people who have been arrested and convicted for cannabis within city limits after Nov. 5, 1996. (This is the date when medical marijuana became legalized in California.) It will also give priority to those who, like Grant, have lived in neighborhoods with the highest number of marijuana-related arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flynn says the city is trying to counteract another inequity. While East and West Oakland have been disproportionately policed for weed, other neighborhoods have benefited from the city's embrace of medical marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Literally those neighborhoods are in another geographic part of the city where we have a concentration of people who are not people of color,\" says Flynn. She says in those neighborhoods, such as downtown Oakland, universities like Oaksterdam and marijuana workshops have been allowed to run openly without any repercussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But moving from the underground to the legal market may not be easy for Oakland's equity applicants. More than 100 qualified people have started the application process. But the city says it has yet to issue any permits, in part because there are a lot of loopholes to jump through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"svpaT4nTwtKyFnhm8fTAL5pZSPnVt9Jx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant says she still needs to get a business license, lease a legitimate workspace and show that her income is low enough to qualify.

Near the end of the month, Scarff opened her mailbox one day and found an application for disaster relief filled out with her personal information. A couple of days later she received a check for $500 from the U.S. Treasury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing is that she hadn’t applied for relief or filed a claim. Or even intended to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would love to have kept that check,” says Scarff. “I wonder how many people really did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were red flags. The application had the correct name, address and the last four digits of her Social Security number. But it incorrectly stated that she was a renter who earns a low income and was now living in a motel because her home was damaged. It also had a phone number she no longer uses, and listed her birthday as 10 days off from her actual one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would never fill out a form with the wrong birthday, but that never stopped FEMA from sending a check,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal officials suspect \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/14/northern-california-fire-scams-worse-than-previously-thought/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tens of thousands\u003c/a> of fraudulent claims for disaster relief have been filed following the deadly fires that destroyed thousands of structures in Northern California. The process of vetting claims for disaster relief is thorough, officials say, so why are some people getting checks from the government they didn’t ask for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does happen,” FEMA spokesman Frank Mansell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the fires, some residents have been getting fake mail, phone calls and emails. People claiming to be federal officials have showed up at their doors. FEMA has been warning of these scams and telling people \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/14/northern-california-fire-scams-worse-than-previously-thought/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to avoid them\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An Automatic $500\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a disaster hits and FEMA starts taking applications for relief money, people can apply online or by phone. The application includes several questions designed to verify that person’s identity and determine what their needs are. This initial step is where a lot of fraud happens.

He said he got his start by flipping burgers and didn’t think he’d one day be out front with customers at a fine dining establishment. It just never crossed his mind as a possible career path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year and a half ago, Woods began working for Alta in what’s known in the industry as the “back of the house.” There, he said, is where all the grunt work is done — for Woods it was washing dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One day the owner approached Woods and asked him if he would like to try working in the “front of the house.” Woods had been in restaurants long enough to know that a position out with customers would earn him a lot more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Difference in Pay that Adds Up\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Woods went through a training program that Alta set up to help those in the back of the house move to the front of the house. By May, management decided to give him a position out front. He began waiting tables and tending bar, interacting with customers for the first time. It wasn’t a totally smooth transition for Woods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, when I first started working here it was very uncomfortable,” Woods said, “I am urban African-American. I am dealing with a lot of Caucasian people with money, people who I have never been exposed to. So initially it was hard communicating with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said communication has gotten better with time. He said he has learned to chat with the customers about things like sports and retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is making almost double what he did while tucked away in the kitchen. “I come here and I get an $11 pay increase from $14 an hour to $25 an hour,” Woods said, “So yes, front of the house does have its benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On average, Jayaraman said ROC found the race-wage gap to be $5.50 an hour between white and minority workers. That difference adds up. Over the course of a year working full-time, an employee of color in a restaurant would make on average $11,000 less than a white worker.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Inequality in the Progressive Bay Area\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Jayaraman said it is sad to see the restaurant race-wage gap so high in the Bay Area, a place that is hailed as a center for progressive thought and ideals. She said that, like income inequality and housing affordability, the restaurant race-wage gap is one more example of the gulf between those in the Bay Area with privilege and those without. Jayaraman said the situation is especially disappointing because the restaurant industry in the Bay Area has the potential to generate many career jobs for minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jayaraman said the restaurant industry “is now the nation’s second-largest and absolute fastest-growing private employer sector. There are 12 million workers in this industry. One in 11 Americans works in this industry. One in 10 Californians.” There is plenty of opportunity. The problem is, according to Jayaraman, most well-paying fine dining positions are held by white men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a panel on this issue held at Alta restaurant, Jayaraman said the paradigm in the restaurant industry is a result of all kinds of biases: restaurant owners are conditioned to think white men are better waiters; customers are biased against minority wait staff; and minorities don’t even apply for the jobs because they don’t see anyone like them working out front or even eating in these establishments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An Unexpected Chance\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Cory Woods said he could not have imagined transitioning from washing dishes to working with customers. He said he was shocked when his white boss trusted him enough to put him out in the front of the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘I’m proud to say this day that I am considered a success story.’ \u003ccite>Cory Woods, server at Alta\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Woods is originally from Missouri. He said now every time his mom flies out to visit him and sees where he’s at, she cries. “I’m proud to say this day that I am considered a success story,” Woods said. “I have two vehicles, I am getting ready to purchase a home. I never thought I’d be the owner of a life insurance policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said getting a chance like this is rare. Many restaurants have notoriously small margins and it takes money to set up training programs and develop workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Restaurant owners would have to be on board to effect change in the industry, but so would customers. They may have to pay more to support training programs at restaurants, and Jayaraman said they would have to be comfortable being served directly by people who don’t look like them. Otherwise, stories like Woods’ will continue to be outliers in the Bay Area’s highly segregated restaurant industry.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He met her 15 years ago in a study that tested this enzyme therapy at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, where the gene editing experiment took place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has had 26 operations for hernias, bunions, bones pinching his spinal column, and ear, eye and gall bladder problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like I had a surgery every other year of my life\" and many procedures in between, he said. Last year he nearly died from a bronchitis and pneumonia attack. The disease had warped his airway, and \"I was drowning in my secretions, I couldn't cough it out.\"\u003cbr>\nMadeux has a chef's degree and was part owner of two restaurants in Utah, cooking for U.S. ski teams and celebrities, but now can't work in a kitchen or ride horses as he used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene editing won't fix damage he's already suffered, but he hopes it will stop the need for weekly enzyme treatments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initial studies will involve up to 30 adults to test safety, but the ultimate goal is to treat children very young, before much damage occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How It Works\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A gene-editing tool called CRISPR has gotten a lot of recent attention, but this study used a different one called zinc finger nucleases.

Those with Madeux's condition, Hunter syndrome, lack a gene that makes an enzyme that breaks down certain carbohydrates. These build up in cells and cause havoc throughout the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patients may have frequent colds and ear infections, distorted facial features, hearing loss, heart problems, breathing trouble, skin and eye problems, bone and joint flaws, bowel issues and brain and thinking problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Many are in wheelchairs ... dependent on their parents until they die,\" said Dr. Chester Whitley, a University of Minnesota genetics expert who plans to enroll patients in the studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekly IV doses of the missing enzyme can ease some symptoms, but cost $100,000 to $400,000 a year and don't prevent brain damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madeux, who now lives near Phoenix, is engaged to a nurse, Marcie Humphrey. He met her 15 years ago in a study that tested this enzyme therapy at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, where the gene editing experiment took place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has had 26 operations for hernias, bunions, bones pinching his spinal column, and ear, eye and gall bladder problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like I had a surgery every other year of my life\" and many procedures in between, he said. Last year he nearly died from a bronchitis and pneumonia attack. The disease had warped his airway, and \"I was drowning in my secretions, I couldn't cough it out.\"\u003cbr>\nMadeux has a chef's degree and was part owner of two restaurants in Utah, cooking for U.S. ski teams and celebrities, but now can't work in a kitchen or ride horses as he used to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene editing won't fix damage he's already suffered, but he hopes it will stop the need for weekly enzyme treatments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initial studies will involve up to 30 adults to test safety, but the ultimate goal is to treat children very young, before much damage occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How It Works\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A gene-editing tool called CRISPR has gotten a lot of recent attention, but this study used a different one called zinc finger nucleases. They're like molecular scissors that seek and cut a specific piece of DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The therapy has three parts: The new gene and two zinc finger proteins.

The Sacramento Bee, citing Tehama County District Attorney Gregg Cohen among multiple sources, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article184541668.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">identified the gunman\u003c/a> as Kevin Janson Neal, 43.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neal's mother told The Associated Press he was in a long-running dispute with neighbors he believed were cooking methamphetamine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mother, who spoke on condition she be named only as Anne, lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she raised Neal. She said she posted his $160,000 bail and spent $10,000 on a lawyer after he was arrested in January for stabbing a neighbor. Neal's mother said the neighbor was slightly cut after Neal grabbed a steak knife out of the hand of the neighbor who was threatening him with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wept as she told The Associated Press she spoke to Neal on the phone on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mom it's all over now,\" she said he told her. \"I have done everything I could do and I am fighting against everyone who lives in this area.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Neal apologized to her during their brief conversation, she thought for all the money she had spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also told her that \"Mom you know what, my whole life you gave me such a good happy life and nobody could have a better mother than I had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: \"All of a sudden, now I'm on a cliff and there's nowhere to go. No matter where I go for help here I get nobody who will help me. All they are doing is trying to execute me here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said until recently Neal seemed content living in the rural neighborhood of modest homes and trailers and he grew marijuana on his property. Recently she said he began complaining about failing health he attributed to the nearby methamphetamine labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neal's sister, Sheridan Orr, said the family was trying to reach the sheriff's office Tuesday evening but still had not been notified. She said her brother had struggled with mental illness throughout his life and at times had a violent temper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're stunned and we're appalled that this is a person who has no business with firearms whatsoever,\" Orr said. \"Our deep, deep sympathy for the victims and it sounds trite but our hearts are breaking for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Flint told the Record Searchlight newspaper Tuesday that his neighbor, whom he knew only as Kevin, was the gunman and that his roommate was among the victims. He said the shooter stole his truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines,\" Flint said. \"We made it aware that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shootings occurred in the rural community of Rancho Tehama Reserve, a homeowners association in a sparsely populated area of rolling oak woodlands described on its website as a \"quiet private country community\" where \"the people are friendly and the pace is relaxed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said officials received multiple 911 calls about gunfire at an intersection of two dirt roads. Minutes later, more calls reporting shots flooded in from different locations, including the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and children screaming at the school, which has one class of students from kindergarten through fifth grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said the shooter was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns at seven locations. He said another weapon was seen in one of the vehicles he drove but hadn't been recovered yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salvador Tello said the gunman fired at a truck in front of him as he went to drop off his three children at school. Tello said he was about three blocks from the school when bullets made \"big holes\" in the truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he forced his children to duck down, slammed his vehicle into reverse and headed to the children's grandmother's house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I put my kids down and put my truck in reverse and went out,\" he said. \"I don't believe it, because I wake up, take my kids, feed them cereal and put them in the truck and say, 'Let's go to school like a normal day.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Elias reported from San Francisco.

Neal's mother said the neighbor was slightly cut after Neal grabbed a steak knife out of the hand of the neighbor who was threatening him with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wept as she told The Associated Press she spoke to Neal on the phone on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mom it's all over now,\" she said he told her. \"I have done everything I could do and I am fighting against everyone who lives in this area.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Neal apologized to her during their brief conversation, she thought for all the money she had spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also told her that \"Mom you know what, my whole life you gave me such a good happy life and nobody could have a better mother than I had.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: \"All of a sudden, now I'm on a cliff and there's nowhere to go. No matter where I go for help here I get nobody who will help me. All they are doing is trying to execute me here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said until recently Neal seemed content living in the rural neighborhood of modest homes and trailers and he grew marijuana on his property. Recently she said he began complaining about failing health he attributed to the nearby methamphetamine labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neal's sister, Sheridan Orr, said the family was trying to reach the sheriff's office Tuesday evening but still had not been notified. She said her brother had struggled with mental illness throughout his life and at times had a violent temper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're stunned and we're appalled that this is a person who has no business with firearms whatsoever,\" Orr said. \"Our deep, deep sympathy for the victims and it sounds trite but our hearts are breaking for them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Flint told the Record Searchlight newspaper Tuesday that his neighbor, whom he knew only as Kevin, was the gunman and that his roommate was among the victims. He said the shooter stole his truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines,\" Flint said. \"We made it aware that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shootings occurred in the rural community of Rancho Tehama Reserve, a homeowners association in a sparsely populated area of rolling oak woodlands described on its website as a \"quiet private country community\" where \"the people are friendly and the pace is relaxed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said officials received multiple 911 calls about gunfire at an intersection of two dirt roads. Minutes later, more calls reporting shots flooded in from different locations, including the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and children screaming at the school, which has one class of students from kindergarten through fifth grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said the shooter was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns at seven locations. He said another weapon was seen in one of the vehicles he drove but hadn't been recovered yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salvador Tello said the gunman fired at a truck in front of him as he went to drop off his three children at school. Tello said he was about three blocks from the school when bullets made \"big holes\" in the truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he forced his children to duck down, slammed his vehicle into reverse and headed to the children's grandmother's house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I put my kids down and put my truck in reverse and went out,\" he said. \"I don't believe it, because I wake up, take my kids, feed them cereal and put them in the truck and say, 'Let's go to school like a normal day.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
