(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I saw some evidence of precipitation, right here in the Bay Area, this morning about 6:30. The pavement outside my home in Berkeley was dappled by raindrops. But by 7 a.m., that moisture had evaporated and everything was dry again. My eyeball view of the weather — rain? what rain? — seems to be confirmed by weather reports, too. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's hourly report on regional rainfall\u003c/a> shows next to nothing in the way of precipitation: one-hundredth of an inch in Concord is the big dousing of the morning so far. The airports in Oakland and San Francisco have reported a trace of rain — the same as I saw in Berkeley. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspx?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\">Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS)\u003c/a>, an unofficial reporting system of volunteer weather observers, shows a handful of reports of .01 and .02 around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, 2013 moves on, the driest calendar year so far for San Francisco (and probably the rest of the region) since 1849, the year weather record-keeping started in the city. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/California-on-course-for-driest-year-on-record-4971192.php\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Fimrite sums up\u003c/a> where we are as of this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No rain at all fell in San Francisco in October and only 3.95 inches has fallen since Jan. 1, the smallest amount of precipitation to date since record keeping began 164 years ago, according to the National Weather Service....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"It's absolutely dry,\" said Bob Benjamin, a National Weather Service forecaster. \"We just went through October where there was no measurable precipitation in downtown San Francisco. That's only happened seven times since records started.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The previous record dry year was in 1976, when 5.57 inches of rain fell in San Francisco over the 311 days between Jan. 1 and Nov. 7. Meteorologists use San Francisco as a benchmark because it has the longest consecutive rainfall record in the state, going back to 1849-50.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's bone-dry conditions have some water managers preparing to resort to \"cloud-seeding\" in order to sprout more precipitation. KQED's Mina Kim spoke on Tuesday with Jeffrey Tilley, director of weather modification at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119868729\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all is lost for the coming rain year. We're at the very beginning of the rainy season, and as forecaster and local precipitation historian Jan Null points out, two of San Francisco's wettest winters followed completely dry Octobers.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>But for now, there's worse to come. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's Bay Area office in Monterey warns\u003c/a> in its current forecast discussion that today's non-rain event is likely to be followed by warm, dry, windy conditions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE WEEK NOW APPEARS TO BE FIRE WEATHER\u003cbr>\nAS A MODERATE NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT WILL COINCIDE WITH A\u003cbr>\nNORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PLUS A SHORTWAVE TROF ROTATING\u003cbr>\nTHROUGH SOME TIME ON FRIDAY. NAM 850 MB SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO\u003cbr>\nEXCEED 40 KT, SO WE COULD EASILY BE LOOKING AT LOCALLY GUSTY\u003cbr>\nWINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES, AND VERY DRY CONDITIONS WHICH\u003cbr>\nWOULD ALL COMBINE TO PRODUCE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. WE\u003cbr>\nCOULD EASILY BE LOOKING AT WIND SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH OVER THE\u003cbr>\nNORTH AND EAST BAY HILLS WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I saw some evidence of precipitation, right here in the Bay Area, this morning about 6:30. The pavement outside my home in Berkeley was dappled by raindrops. But by 7 a.m., that moisture had evaporated and everything was dry again. My eyeball view of the weather — rain? what rain? — seems to be confirmed by weather reports, too. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=SFORR5RSA&wfo=mtr&version=0\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's hourly report on regional rainfall\u003c/a> shows next to nothing in the way of precipitation: one-hundredth of an inch in Concord is the big dousing of the morning so far. The airports in Oakland and San Francisco have reported a trace of rain — the same as I saw in Berkeley. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cocorahs.org/Maps/ViewMap.aspx?state=CA\" target=\"_blank\">Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS)\u003c/a>, an unofficial reporting system of volunteer weather observers, shows a handful of reports of .01 and .02 around the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, 2013 moves on, the driest calendar year so far for San Francisco (and probably the rest of the region) since 1849, the year weather record-keeping started in the city. Here's how the San Francisco Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/California-on-course-for-driest-year-on-record-4971192.php\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Fimrite sums up\u003c/a> where we are as of this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No rain at all fell in San Francisco in October and only 3.95 inches has fallen since Jan. 1, the smallest amount of precipitation to date since record keeping began 164 years ago, according to the National Weather Service....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... \"It's absolutely dry,\" said Bob Benjamin, a National Weather Service forecaster. \"We just went through October where there was no measurable precipitation in downtown San Francisco. That's only happened seven times since records started.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The previous record dry year was in 1976, when 5.57 inches of rain fell in San Francisco over the 311 days between Jan. 1 and Nov. 7. Meteorologists use San Francisco as a benchmark because it has the longest consecutive rainfall record in the state, going back to 1849-50.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area's bone-dry conditions have some water managers preparing to resort to \"cloud-seeding\" in order to sprout more precipitation. KQED's Mina Kim spoke on Tuesday with Jeffrey Tilley, director of weather modification at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/119868729\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, not all is lost for the coming rain year. We're at the very beginning of the rainy season, and as forecaster and local precipitation historian Jan Null points out, two of San Francisco's wettest winters followed completely dry Octobers.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>But for now, there's worse to come. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's Bay Area office in Monterey warns\u003c/a> in its current forecast discussion that today's non-rain event is likely to be followed by warm, dry, windy conditions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE WEEK NOW APPEARS TO BE FIRE WEATHER\u003cbr>\nAS A MODERATE NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT WILL COINCIDE WITH A\u003cbr>\nNORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PLUS A SHORTWAVE TROF ROTATING\u003cbr>\nTHROUGH SOME TIME ON FRIDAY.

Despite announcing tentative progress on worker pension payments last week, the two sides are apparently still far apart on pay and health-care benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roxanne Sanchez, president of SEIU Local 1021, said the unions were were encouraged that two members of the BART board of directors — who were not named — and other \"Bay Area legislative leaders\" had joined the talks.

First, despite BART saying more than six hours ago that it was about to present a new offer to the unions, that offer has not yet been presented. Reporter Alex Emslie has been staking out the talks all evening for KQED, and said BART spokesman Jim Allison acknowledged the agency hadn't presented the offer after the earlier announcement. He suggested it was because state and federal mediators control the negotiation agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What everyone wants to know is will the trains be running in the morning. We still don't have a certain answer on that with just half an hour to go before Gov. Jerry Brown's 60-day cooling-off periood, called in August to give BART and the unions time to sort all this out, expires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, KRON4 reports that a court in San Francisco has freed \u003ca href=\"http://news.kron4.com/news/naked-bart-acrobat-freed/\" target=\"_blank\">the infamous naked 16th Street BART gymnast\u003c/a>. Yeiner Perez was arrested at the station in May after a frightening escapade during which he physically accosted several passengers, threatened others, and did an extended impromptu acrobatic routine. Unions publicized a video of the incident (\u003ca href=\"http://bcove.me/pm6udzd6\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>) to highlight their contention that BART management has not paid enough attention to their safety concerns in contract talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:15 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg reports that \"as of 5 p.m., negotiations were continuing, but no deal had been reached and the unions had not announced whether they would strike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART negotiators were preparing to submit a new offer Thursday afternoon in hopes of averting a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Rosenberg tweeted\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>This graph shows how unions' support in polls, already low a week ago, has gotten even lower \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\">http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RosenbergMerc/statuses/388449470477647872\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The graph is from a new poll by \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/\">SurveyUSA\u003c/a>.

Sixteen percent say BART should accept the unions' offer, down from 24 percent on Oct. 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 2:30 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> With less than 12 hours until another BART strike becomes possible, union representatives appeared at this morning's open BART board meeting in Oakland and repeated charges that the agency has backed away from the terms of a tentative agreement. Union comments also suggest that BART's pay offer — a 10 percent increase over four years, at the same time workers make new pension contributions and increase what they pay for medical benefits — is still a huge stumbling block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Emslie, reporting for KQED from the meeting, says union members called on the board to send General Manager Grace Crunican into the talks as time has grown too short to conduct the back-and-forth through state and federal mediators. But BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said Crunican would enter the talks only when negotiators were \"inches away\" from an agreement, and that hasn't happened yet. The two sides resumed negotiations at Caltrans District 4 headquarters in Oakland at 1:30 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BART board unanimously approved a plan to spend up to $400,000 a day on replacement bus service if workers go out on strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the meeting comments live-tweeted by reporters at this morning's session:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\"Please fix this train wreck of a negotiation\" BART worker to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> Board \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CBSSF\">@CBSSF\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Anne Makovec (@AnneMakovec) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AnneMakovec/statuses/388337743375253504\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\"Framework for settlement all of a sudden dismantled\" - union leader says at \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> meeting \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTtalks&src=hash\">#BARTtalks\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Matthias Gafni (@mgafni) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mgafni/statuses/388342376655122432\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>.\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/seiu1021\">@seiu1021\u003c/a> told \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Bart&src=hash\">#Bart\u003c/a> board- management's 10% wage increase offer is actually .67% decrease w/medical and retirement benefit cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Matt Keller (@MattKellerABC7) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MattKellerABC7/statuses/388342354190426113\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> unions want board to order GM Grace Crunican to bargaining table. \"There's only 15 hours left.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Michael Cabanatuan (@ctuan) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ctuan/statuses/388341576272838656\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BART&src=hash\">#BART\u003c/a> unions haven't issued any strike notice.

San Francisco Chronicle transportation reporter Michael Cabanatuan told KQED that reporters monitoring the talks say it's a little hard to tell exactly where the talks are between BART and union negotiators at this point: \"There's a media blackout. They've all agreed voluntarily that they won't talk to the media about what's going on at the table, but they all indicate that there's some progress being made, perhaps slow progress but progress nonetheless. The mood does seem a little different. It doesn't seem quite as somber or quite as angry, and that's a good indication.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Andrew Stelzer reports that Bay Area business leaders are calling on employers to be prepared and be flexible in case talks break down. “We are prepared to tell our members…to change work schedules, to use flex time, to encourage carpools, to encourage work from home,\" said Jim Lazarus of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. \"Because we have to reduce travel on all the roads of the region if we're going to not suffer just an economically damaging level of gridlock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5:30 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Officials for BART's two biggest unions just announced that they will not issue a 72-hour strike notice tonight and that talks with transit agency officials are continuing through state and federal mediators. Officials for the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 said they were holding off issuing a strike notice to preserve every option as a court-imposed cooling-off period gets set to expire later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury-News offers some context on past strike notices and on where the negotiations are now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unions issued strike notices three days prior to a work stoppage in July and before a pending strike in August that was later averted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcements are not required, however, and unions left the door open for a possible walkout if a deal is not reached by Thursday night's deadline. The strike notice is meant only as a courtesy so the 200,000 people who ride BART roundtrip each day could start looking for back-up plans to get around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going into negotiations on Monday, BART said it was about $89 million apart from the unions over four years, but the labor groups have pegged the gap at $30 million over three years. Progress was reported last week, however, when both sides swapped a series of counterproposals after months where both sides barely blinked. Using BART's math, they bridged the gap by about $23 million last week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> The 60-day cooling-off period in the BART labor standoff is set to expire late Thursday night, and new poll numbers show that Bay Area residents remain very unhappy with the prospect of a transit strike. With negotiations continuing, there are new signs that the two sides may finally be closing the gap in the contract positions they've staked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main issues still to be resolved center on pay, pensions, and medical benefits. The difference between the two sides is \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bart/ci_24256589/bart-strike-looms-experts-see-hope-sides-get\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly\u003c/a> down to a total of $89 million over the life of the new proposed contract. Talks continue today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One sign that the hardline positions in the standoff may be softening is that BART has apparently dropped plans to have supervisors run limited train service during a work stoppage. In \u003ca href=\"http://bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20131004.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">its latest update\u003c/a> on strike planning, the agency says in the event of a strike, it's planning to run limited bus service from nine East Bay stations to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=55c32c55-017e-4bb6-8368-dfb10855c62b\" target=\"_blank\">a poll conducted Friday\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX, SurveyUSA found that two-thirds of Bay Area residents say they're following the BART negotiations. The survey found that overall, 39 percent of respondents feel that BART management has made a better argument during the dispute, compared to 25 percent who think the unions have made a better case. The poll also found that 40 percent of respondents think unions should accept management's proposals, while 24 percent think BART should settle on the unions' terms. Here's a summary of two sides' most recently reported positions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The unions — chiefly the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 — are seeking a pay increase of about 12 percent over three years. That compares to their opening position of 23 percent over four years. BART has offered 10 percent over four years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions have proposed additional small pay increases if BART ridership increases faster than the agency forecasts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On pensions, BART has sought to get the unions to agree to begin pension contributions at 1 percent of salary a year escalating to 4 percent by the last year of a four-year contract. Last week, the two agreed to a \"cost-neutral swap\" under which BART would pay workers 72 cents for every dollar the workers put into their pension funds. It's still unclear how the pension contributions and swap payments will figure into an overall settlement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions say they'll agree to a 15 percent increase in health-care contributions for all BART workers. Currently, union members pay $92 a month for medical coverage, even if family members are included. BART has proposed continuing flat-rate payments for individual members and limiting payments for family coverage to the least expensive of either a Kaiser or Blue Shield plan.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more on the negotiations, reporter Mina Kim spoke with Paul Roose, a mediator based in Oakland who oversaw BART negotiations in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F114470510\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

First, despite BART saying more than six hours ago that it was about to present a new offer to the unions, that offer has not yet been presented. Reporter Alex Emslie has been staking out the talks all evening for KQED, and said BART spokesman Jim Allison acknowledged the agency hadn't presented the offer after the earlier announcement. He suggested it was because state and federal mediators control the negotiation agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What everyone wants to know is will the trains be running in the morning. We still don't have a certain answer on that with just half an hour to go before Gov. Jerry Brown's 60-day cooling-off periood, called in August to give BART and the unions time to sort all this out, expires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, KRON4 reports that a court in San Francisco has freed \u003ca href=\"http://news.kron4.com/news/naked-bart-acrobat-freed/\" target=\"_blank\">the infamous naked 16th Street BART gymnast\u003c/a>. Yeiner Perez was arrested at the station in May after a frightening escapade during which he physically accosted several passengers, threatened others, and did an extended impromptu acrobatic routine. Unions publicized a video of the incident (\u003ca href=\"http://bcove.me/pm6udzd6\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>) to highlight their contention that BART management has not paid enough attention to their safety concerns in contract talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:15 p.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> Mercury News reporter Mike Rosenberg reports that \"as of 5 p.m., negotiations were continuing, but no deal had been reached and the unions had not announced whether they would strike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART negotiators were preparing to submit a new offer Thursday afternoon in hopes of averting a strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier, Rosenberg tweeted\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>This graph shows how unions' support in polls, already low a week ago, has gotten even lower \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\">http://t.co/kEF5JAwyvf\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23BARTstrike&src=hash\">#BARTstrike\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Mike Rosenberg (@RosenbergMerc) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RosenbergMerc/statuses/388449470477647872\">October 10, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The graph is from a new poll by \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/\">SurveyUSA\u003c/a>.

Union comments also suggest that BART's pay offer — a 10 percent increase over four years, at the same time workers make new pension contributions and increase what they pay for medical benefits — is still a huge stumbling block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Emslie, reporting for KQED from the meeting, says union members called on the board to send General Manager Grace Crunican into the talks as time has grown too short to conduct the back-and-forth through state and federal mediators. But BART spokesperson Alicia Trost said Crunican would enter the talks only when negotiators were \"inches away\" from an agreement, and that hasn't happened yet.

Unions have not issued a notice that they intend to strike now, but that notice is optional. Several major issues reportedly remain unresolved in the talks, including pay, health care benefits, and what union members will pay into their pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=24bc05c5-0e2a-485e-bd13-c8ba92d2975e\" target=\"_blank\">new SurveyUSA poll\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX-Channel 5 suggests the public wants the BART standoff resolved once and for all. The survey of 800 adults, conducted Wednesday, shows that 60 percent strongly oppose a strike while 12 percent strongly support one. Fifty-three percent of respondents said they agreed state law should be changed to ban future strikes while 38 percent said the law should stay as it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nBefore Wednesday night's dispute, union officials had expressed confidence that a new contract was within reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're less than $30 million apart,\" said Chris Finn, part of the negotiating team for ATU Local 1555. \"And with a $127 million surplus one year, and they have that surplus, at least, every year for the next 10 years, it's well within their power to resolve this and settle this immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KTVU, BART General Manager Grace Crunican said that surplus is to cover the agency's bond debt payments and capital expenses like replacing its aging fleet of train cars and improving infrastructure. \"They would like that money not to go into capital improvement but instead go into the pockets of the unions,\" Crunican said. \"And we need to find a fair way to provide compensation for our folks, but not investing in our capital and not paying our debt are not good choices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's video of Crunican's interview with KTVU's Tom Vacar:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cobject id=\"flashObj\" width=\"615\" height=\"392\" classid=\"d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\">\u003cparam name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\">\u003cparam name=\"base\" value=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\">\u003cparam name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\">\u003cparam name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cparam name=\"src\" value=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1\">\u003cparam name=\"flashvars\" value=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\">\u003cparam name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\">\u003cparam name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"swliveconnect\" value=\"true\">\u003cparam name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\">\u003cembed id=\"flashObj\" width=\"615\" height=\"392\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1\" flashvars=\"videoId=2733277802001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktvu.com%2Fvideos%2Fnews%2Fbart-ktvu-speaks-to-barts-general-manager-about%2FvCFSDx%2F&playerID=836564367001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAVzySoEk~,39KWv4t6IXBhr9fjdqt8jJhoVTxYZojR&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http://admin.brightcove.com\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/object>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:45 p.m. Tuesday:\u003c/strong> Negotiations continue at Caltrans District 4 headquarters in Oakland. San Francisco Chronicle transportation reporter Michael Cabanatuan told KQED that reporters monitoring the talks say it's a little hard to tell exactly where the talks are between BART and union negotiators at this point: \"There's a media blackout. They've all agreed voluntarily that they won't talk to the media about what's going on at the table, but they all indicate that there's some progress being made, perhaps slow progress but progress nonetheless. The mood does seem a little different. It doesn't seem quite as somber or quite as angry, and that's a good indication.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Andrew Stelzer reports that Bay Area business leaders are calling on employers to be prepared and be flexible in case talks break down. “We are prepared to tell our members…to change work schedules, to use flex time, to encourage carpools, to encourage work from home,\" said Jim Lazarus of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. \"Because we have to reduce travel on all the roads of the region if we're going to not suffer just an economically damaging level of gridlock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5:30 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Officials for BART's two biggest unions just announced that they will not issue a 72-hour strike notice tonight and that talks with transit agency officials are continuing through state and federal mediators. Officials for the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 said they were holding off issuing a strike notice to preserve every option as a court-imposed cooling-off period gets set to expire later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury-News offers some context on past strike notices and on where the negotiations are now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The unions issued strike notices three days prior to a work stoppage in July and before a pending strike in August that was later averted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcements are not required, however, and unions left the door open for a possible walkout if a deal is not reached by Thursday night's deadline. The strike notice is meant only as a courtesy so the 200,000 people who ride BART roundtrip each day could start looking for back-up plans to get around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going into negotiations on Monday, BART said it was about $89 million apart from the unions over four years, but the labor groups have pegged the gap at $30 million over three years. Progress was reported last week, however, when both sides swapped a series of counterproposals after months where both sides barely blinked. Using BART's math, they bridged the gap by about $23 million last week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> The 60-day cooling-off period in the BART labor standoff is set to expire late Thursday night, and new poll numbers show that Bay Area residents remain very unhappy with the prospect of a transit strike. With negotiations continuing, there are new signs that the two sides may finally be closing the gap in the contract positions they've staked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main issues still to be resolved center on pay, pensions, and medical benefits. The difference between the two sides is \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bart/ci_24256589/bart-strike-looms-experts-see-hope-sides-get\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly\u003c/a> down to a total of $89 million over the life of the new proposed contract. Talks continue today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One sign that the hardline positions in the standoff may be softening is that BART has apparently dropped plans to have supervisors run limited train service during a work stoppage. In \u003ca href=\"http://bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20131004.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">its latest update\u003c/a> on strike planning, the agency says in the event of a strike, it's planning to run limited bus service from nine East Bay stations to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=55c32c55-017e-4bb6-8368-dfb10855c62b\" target=\"_blank\">a poll conducted Friday\u003c/a> for San Francisco's KPIX, SurveyUSA found that two-thirds of Bay Area residents say they're following the BART negotiations. The survey found that overall, 39 percent of respondents feel that BART management has made a better argument during the dispute, compared to 25 percent who think the unions have made a better case. The poll also found that 40 percent of respondents think unions should accept management's proposals, while 24 percent think BART should settle on the unions' terms. Here's a summary of two sides' most recently reported positions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The unions — chiefly the BART chapter of SEIU Local 1021 and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 — are seeking a pay increase of about 12 percent over three years. That compares to their opening position of 23 percent over four years. BART has offered 10 percent over four years.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions have proposed additional small pay increases if BART ridership increases faster than the agency forecasts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>On pensions, BART has sought to get the unions to agree to begin pension contributions at 1 percent of salary a year escalating to 4 percent by the last year of a four-year contract. Last week, the two agreed to a \"cost-neutral swap\" under which BART would pay workers 72 cents for every dollar the workers put into their pension funds. It's still unclear how the pension contributions and swap payments will figure into an overall settlement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The unions say they'll agree to a 15 percent increase in health-care contributions for all BART workers. Currently, union members pay $92 a month for medical coverage, even if family members are included. BART has proposed continuing flat-rate payments for individual members and limiting payments for family coverage to the least expensive of either a Kaiser or Blue Shield plan.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more on the negotiations, reporter Mina Kim spoke with Paul Roose, a mediator based in Oakland who oversaw BART negotiations in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But regional planning agencies have another target to contend with: by 2040, the Bay Area must cut its greenhouse gas emission by 15 percent.

Plan Bay Area identifies “Priority Development Areas,” where 80 percent of new housing and 60 percent of new jobs would be located in walkable neighborhoods that are close to transit and series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This continues an existing trend, says Chion. “Many of our knowledge-base workers and businesses are choosing urban settings over traditional office park locations,” she says.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan also seeks to minimize sprawl by keeping future growth within existing urban boundaries. “That’s a huge statement,” says Stephanie Reyes of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.greenbelt.org/\">Greenbelt Alliance\u003c/a>. “No other region comes even close to achieving that level of in-fill development and open space protection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meeting these goals will be up to cities and counties, however. “There’s good news and bad news,” says Reyes. “Here in the Bay Area, many communities, though not all, are supportive of protecting our iconic landscapes and open spaces and are generally looking to build inward instead of outward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, some communities are more willing and enthusiastic than others to actually do that work of planning for and building homes for folks at all income levels,” Reyes says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and counties rely on their own general plans to guide development. “What changes might be made over the next 10, 20, 30 years, that is going to be decided locally,” says Linda Jackson, planning manager Transportation Authority of Marin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The planning process has raised concerns from some communities over how much growth is included in the plan. “To the extent that Plan Bay Area in their projections for 2040 is higher than what a general plan or a town is currently planning for, there is some concern and awareness of having to discuss that kind of increased growth for their community,” says Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local jurisdictions that adopt the plan’s goals will receive prioritized funding through the One Bay Area grant program. It provides $14 billion over the next several decades for transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, supporters of the plan say it’s brought about much-needed conversations about the Bay Area’s future growth. “While the law is not full of lots of sticks and punishments, it has really had an enormous effect on the dialogue and conversation about growth in the region,” Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/misc/open-town-hall.html\">public comment period\u003c/a> on the plan is open until May 16th.

It provides $14 billion over the next several decades for transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, supporters of the plan say it’s brought about much-needed conversations about the Bay Area’s future growth. “While the law is not full of lots of sticks and punishments, it has really had an enormous effect on the dialogue and conversation about growth in the region,” Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://onebayarea.org/misc/open-town-hall.html\">public comment period\u003c/a> on the plan is open until May 16th.

Genentech and Volkswagen are trying out fuel blends from Solazyme as well, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get a broader perspective we spoke to Jeremy Martin, a biofuels expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2006, then President George W. Bush announced a new initiative to produce fuels from plants in hopes of making the United States less dependent on imported oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The transition has been slower than people hoped,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of attention focused on ethanol, and 40 percent of corn is now used for that purpose, he said. But growing corn itself consumes a lot of energy. Technology to convert cellulose – a compound found in most plants – into ethanol remains promising but has not yet become feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diesel made by algae offers possibilities, said Martin. But the type used by Solazyme poses a potential problem: it eats sugar. Currently the sugar comes from sugarcane, and that means that automobiles powered by the fuel are indirectly competing with hungry human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that Solazyme is able to make their process work with nonfood sources of sugar,” said Martin. “That’s ultimately what’s going to really bring us the environmental benefits that people are expecting from biofuels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To really understand the environmental pros and cons of algae fuel would require a life-cycle analysis in which scientists look at the energy that goes into creating it, the effects on land, water and air, and emissions of all kinds, among other considerations, said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one has conducted such an analysis of the Solazyme fuel, said Ames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the company is eager to find out how well their fuel is working in Bay Area cars, so if you own one that can run on regular diesel, you'll be welcome at the Propel stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Propel and Solazyme see this as a trial – they are only committing to 30 days, after which they will re-evaluate whether to keep selling it to motorists.

This is a bioreactor being developed by OriginOil scientists.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We were excited when we heard the news. It’s great to be first, after all. But we also wondered why anyone would want fuel made from algae.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fuel has a couple of advantages, said Robert Ames, a vice president at Solazyme, the South San Francisco company that makes it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When burned, the fuel gives off 30 percent less particulate matter, 20 percent less carbon monoxide and 10 percent less hydrocarbons than ultra-low sulfur conventional diesel, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/video/algae-power/\">KQED Quest video shows how algae fuels are made.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2011/12/19/algae%E2%80%A6soylent-green%E2%80%A6and-the-future-of-biofuel/\">KQED Quest article examines the future of algae fuel.\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\u003c/ul>\u003c/aside>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>That sounds pretty good, but there are other types of biodiesel. Enterprising chemists have concocted biodiesel from soybeans, canola and recycled cooking oil, among other sources, and some of these are already for sale in the Bay Area. So we asked Ames how these compare with the algae fuel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Genentech and Volkswagen are trying out fuel blends from Solazyme as well, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get a broader perspective we spoke to Jeremy Martin, a biofuels expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2006, then President George W. Bush announced a new initiative to produce fuels from plants in hopes of making the United States less dependent on imported oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The transition has been slower than people hoped,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of attention focused on ethanol, and 40 percent of corn is now used for that purpose, he said. But growing corn itself consumes a lot of energy. Technology to convert cellulose – a compound found in most plants – into ethanol remains promising but has not yet become feasible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diesel made by algae offers possibilities, said Martin. But the type used by Solazyme poses a potential problem: it eats sugar. Currently the sugar comes from sugarcane, and that means that automobiles powered by the fuel are indirectly competing with hungry human beings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that Solazyme is able to make their process work with nonfood sources of sugar,” said Martin. “That’s ultimately what’s going to really bring us the environmental benefits that people are expecting from biofuels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To really understand the environmental pros and cons of algae fuel would require a life-cycle analysis in which scientists look at the energy that goes into creating it, the effects on land, water and air, and emissions of all kinds, among other considerations, said Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one has conducted such an analysis of the Solazyme fuel, said Ames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the company is eager to find out how well their fuel is working in Bay Area cars, so if you own one that can run on regular diesel, you'll be welcome at the Propel stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Propel and Solazyme see this as a trial – they are only committing to 30 days, after which they will re-evaluate whether to keep selling it to motorists. In the meantime, you can be one of the first.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
