On Monday, “No Justice, No BART” announced a demonstration planned for Thursday evening at the Powell Street station. The organization, which formed in 2009 following the police shooting of Oscar Grant, is demanding that BART police disband. Another group, the Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation, said it will ask the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to investigate recent police shootings during a noontime rally Tuesday outside of City Hall. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_18831447\">Proposed San Jose policy would restrict kinds of new stores that can sell alcohol\u003c/a> (SJ Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Finding a place to buy that six-pack of Gordon Biersch or a bottle of J Lohr may be a little more difficult in the future if the San Jose City Council approves a proposal that one council member is blasting as a misguided attempt at social engineering.

One former BART director pleaded guilty to accepting bribes; another pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents. The bribes involved were as small as $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in 2007, BART directors including Fang loosened the rules to allow contributions of up to $1,000 from contractors with pending bids. BART’s nine directors serve four-year terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February 2010, when Krishnan had pending business with the board, the contractor hosted a fundraiser for two BART directors up for re-election, Thomas Blalock and Joel Keller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had a little gathering … and got consultants together to honor us and toss some money into the pot, which is a typical thing they do,” Blalock said. “He even brought in some of his people from Southern California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other contractors gave money, but Krishnan showed them up. Krishnan’s company gave $1,000 to both Blalock and Keller. Each director also received another $500 from Krishnan and his wife; $500 from a company manager named Dev Krishnan, and $250 from another employee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extra $1,250 Blalock and Keller received came from individuals, not the company’s account, so it shouldn’t count toward the $1,000 limit, Blalock said. Aside from the contractor regulation, there are no limits on BART campaign contributions. Blalock noted that the rules are “not as tough anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve taken a more relaxed attitude about it also,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve crossed the line anywhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blalock said the money doesn’t influence his votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krishnan, whose office is across the hall from the BART boardroom in Oakland, said, “My friends need to have some money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Political campaigns are expensive, they need money and these people do very good work,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keller, who led the charge to loosen contribution rules in 2007, did not return phone calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Aug. 11, Keller, Blalock and Fang voted with the board majority to give Krishnan’s company and two others engineering contracts worth up to $20 million for each company over five years. Krishnan’s firm is a general engineering contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krishnan had received an award in 2009 for $15 million over five years, but the money has been used up early. Sweet, upset at how quickly the last award had been spent, was the only director to vote against the new awards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two unions representing BART employees opposed the new contracts, arguing that BART staff could do some of the work that was being contracted out. One of the unions, Service Employees International Union Local 1021, gave Fang $7,500 in Februrary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Fang said at the meeting that he supported the contracts, in part because the companies are led by minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have basic firms, people of color, taking the principal role,” he said. “And that’s what, without getting too corny, that’s what America is about. So I plan to move forward and support this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate decision earlier this year, Fang pushed for the board to negotiate a real estate deal with a longtime friend, developer Lawrence Lui. As previously reported, Lui had given Fang $3,500 last year. BART’s campaign contribution rules refer to contractors, not developers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Van Every, senior vice president at Republic Urban Properties, which had a competing development proposal, called the campaign contributions “completely ethically wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the BART conflict of interest laws are a joke,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fang said the money didn’t influence him and pointed out that Republic Urban had hired a lobbyist to push its proposal.

The bill was never acted upon in committee.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2011/08/23/3854479/state-board-pares-rural-fire-fee.html\">California board passes rural fire fee, but changes are likely\u003c/a> (Sacramento Bee)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The state fire board approved a maximum $90 annual fee on rural homeowners Monday, well below the $150 charge envisioned by lawmakers in their June budget.

At any given moment, more birds could join, leave, peel off in another direction entirely.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In a 2008 article from the \u003ca href=\"http://www2.citypaper.com/columns/story.asp?id=15543\">Baltimore City Paper\u003c/a>, one IT professional who took part in Anonymous-organized protests against the Church of Scientology said he \"goes back and forth on whether he considers himself Anonymous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the person pictured above at the BART protest may not be a hacker, but by donning a Guy Fawkes mask, he or she has become aligned with Anonymous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU Gabriella Coleman, who has been studying Anonymous and digital activism, calls Anonymous a \"multi-headed hydra\" with many different parts and goals. OpBART \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/OpBART/status/103976163541659649\">\u003cstrong>tweeted\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> yesterday that \"it\" does not agree with the publishing of the BART police officers' information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also not the first time Anonymous, or someone simply committing an action he or she sees as being in tune with the group, has published personal information as part of the BART Operation. On Saturday, Anonymous \u003ca href=\"http://tumblr.com/xjh43enhki\">published\u003c/a> the public e-mails of BART officers and phone numbers, in a Black Fax and e-mail bomb action. They also hacked into the third-party myBART site, releasing the names and passwords of 2,001 people, and in many cases their addresses and phone numbers as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Anonymous members are hackers. Physical protests like the one targeting BART give the group exposure and help them find new members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the times in the news they'll say it's hackers,\" Gabriella Coleman said. \"And it's definitely the case that there are technically savvy participants in Anonymous, whether it's system administrators who help set-up communications channels. Or there are some hackers who also do some hacking as well, they've been quite in the news. But, a lot of folks I just describe as sort of geeky types [who] hang online, they care about online issues such as censorship, copyright, piracy. There's also some people who are seasoned activists who have worked in other domains and are now working within Anonymous. And there's others who have entered politics for the first time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History of Anonymous\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_37424\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 128px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/Anonymous-anonymous-10587357-449-529_reasonably_small.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-37424\" title=\"Anonymous-anonymous-10587357-449-529_reasonably_small\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/Anonymous-anonymous-10587357-449-529_reasonably_small.jpg\" alt=\"Original Anonymous figure.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
