Sure, the KQED News and Forum staffs are full of journalists full of opinions as to what qualifies as news, but airtime and manpower are limited. So we want to hear from you, the community we serve, about what stories and issues should KQED prioritize in 2014? Add your suggestions in the comments below. And, yes, we read them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's some of what we've heard from some listeners so far:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inequality:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Agatasul: Please discuss the impact of retirement of baby boomers on the economy, income inequality, wealth transfer, etc.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Aaron: I've like to see more coverage of the ways in which the USA is becoming a Third World country. We're behind other countries in almost all measures that matter to most people. Education, corruption, income inequality, prison population, water quality, etc.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Pontifikate: How will we deal with structural causes of unemployment? We have a winner-take-all society and most of us are left in the dust. How do we deal with forces of globalization and technology?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cost of Living:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Another Mike: Somehow Asian-American families can raise children in San Francisco -- how about a show on how do they do it?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Education:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Helen: I would like to see continuing coverage on the City College of San Francisco accreditation issue. With the issues affecting income inequality and increased California State and California University college tuition, there will be a greater need for affordable opportunities to pave the path to a better education, vocational skills and personal development. ... There are thoughts that CCSF's accreditation issue is actually a privatization issue, which would be even more detrimental to a diverse community with a growing need for affordable education.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Government:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>William: City (Mis)Management! This should be a series of shows.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Niles: How did CA go from top 10 nationally in health care and education to bottom 10 in recent decades?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Environment:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lauri: Please do more programs on climate change and environmental justice issues -- many experts here in Bay Area on these issues for guests.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Coline: I have been hearing about the dangers of Fukushima reactor meltdown and radiation in the Pacific Ocean. I have not been hearing about this in the mainstream news, however. Snopes reports that some of these reports are exaggerated. I would appreciate hearing about real current concerns about Fukushima reactor meltdown, leakage into the ocean and any linkages with marine wildlife die-offs, concerns about eating fish, swimming in the ocean, etc., perhaps to debunk some of the more extreme news stories, but also just as an update of ongoing concerns and what we around the Pacific Rim should or shouldn't do in response.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Please interview David Blume of Blume Distillation. He is currently opening three fueling stations in the greater Bay Area that source feed stock for distillation into alcohol fuel from local waste products. ... The vision is to source waste locally and make it into fuel for local consumption. Imagine a world without pollution, wars, fracking, tar sands, rail car explosions.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Real-time air quality news on PM2.5 with an explanation of what it means and what is (isn't) being done to clean up our air and reduce air quality mortality (over 40,000 people in California alone per year. And news reporting of the monthly and yearly rates of water leakage loss rates from Bay Area water suppliers (it is over 10 percent per year).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arts and Culture:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Fyza: I would love for Forum to cover more local Bay Area authors and (the local) literary scene. Also, we should embrace the tech in SF and cover new innovations that are happening.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Christopher: More about California Indian tribes -- from their perspective; not just about casinos; more about their cultural history.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lars: Labyrinths are gaining popularity in hospitals, churches, schools, parks and backyard gardens creating sacred space for walking meditation. San Francisco has been the center of the modern rebirth with the installation of two labyrinths at Grace Cathedral and the leadership of Lauren Artress, who would be a great guest to speak on the past, present, and future of this mindfulness movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Stav: When Michael Pollan was on this year, he kept citing pithy quotes from a certain food marketer he'd interviewed, who developed a funny homespun philosophy and a rather dim view of humanity. Why not have him on? Also, you had a terrific program about the \"A**-hole\" expression and what typifies it. There is another American term and concept, also generally applied to males, even more damning: Loser. Perhaps you can devote a discussion to exploring that word and its meanings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Health: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Linda: Please cover elder abuse by county employees, especially public guardians ...\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>DDP: Alzheimer's disease -- the coming tsunami.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lauren: There has been very little coverage of the battle in Sonoma County that actually affects the whole Bay Area. That’s the fluoridation issue. Nearly all the counties in our hip part of the earth are fluoridated except Sonoma County, but people are waking up. The decay rate in fluoridated cities isn’t lower than in non, meanwhile current research shows that fluoridation is toxic to the rest of the body and correlates with higher rates of cancer, Alzheimer’s and more. ... If Sonoma stops it, then activists elsewhere will try yet again to quit, this applies to us all in the KQED listener area, so how about more coverage?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Technology:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Brandon: I think it would be a good idea to open a discussion on creating a constitution for the Internet.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Philip: Soon, Congress will be considering action to limit NSA surveillance on U.S. citizens severely and demand transparency and accountability of our spy agencies. We the people need to make our viewpoints known to Congress and the president. In this connection, could you have some guests discuss the value and the historical-philosophical perspectives on privacy for human well-being?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bruce: A show on open access, Creative Commons and online publishing would be good. There is even an \"Open Access Week\".\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Misc:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Beth: Would love to hear more more shows on population issues, veganism, homeschooling and the growth of the NON religious population. And serious immigration reform NOW.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Laura: How about something inspiring about second careers for those over 50?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Antoine: I think that a discussion on the fact that we are the retail nation of the world is going to be a problem sooner than later.

Sure, the KQED News and Forum staffs are full of journalists full of opinions as to what qualifies as news, but airtime and manpower are limited. So we want to hear from you, the community we serve, about what stories and issues should KQED prioritize in 2014? Add your suggestions in the comments below. And, yes, we read them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's some of what we've heard from some listeners so far:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Inequality:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Agatasul: Please discuss the impact of retirement of baby boomers on the economy, income inequality, wealth transfer, etc.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Aaron: I've like to see more coverage of the ways in which the USA is becoming a Third World country. We're behind other countries in almost all measures that matter to most people. Education, corruption, income inequality, prison population, water quality, etc.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Pontifikate: How will we deal with structural causes of unemployment? We have a winner-take-all society and most of us are left in the dust. How do we deal with forces of globalization and technology?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cost of Living:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Another Mike: Somehow Asian-American families can raise children in San Francisco -- how about a show on how do they do it?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Education:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Helen: I would like to see continuing coverage on the City College of San Francisco accreditation issue. With the issues affecting income inequality and increased California State and California University college tuition, there will be a greater need for affordable opportunities to pave the path to a better education, vocational skills and personal development. ... There are thoughts that CCSF's accreditation issue is actually a privatization issue, which would be even more detrimental to a diverse community with a growing need for affordable education.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Government:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>William: City (Mis)Management!

I have not been hearing about this in the mainstream news, however. Snopes reports that some of these reports are exaggerated. I would appreciate hearing about real current concerns about Fukushima reactor meltdown, leakage into the ocean and any linkages with marine wildlife die-offs, concerns about eating fish, swimming in the ocean, etc., perhaps to debunk some of the more extreme news stories, but also just as an update of ongoing concerns and what we around the Pacific Rim should or shouldn't do in response.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Please interview David Blume of Blume Distillation. He is currently opening three fueling stations in the greater Bay Area that source feed stock for distillation into alcohol fuel from local waste products. ... The vision is to source waste locally and make it into fuel for local consumption. Imagine a world without pollution, wars, fracking, tar sands, rail car explosions.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Real-time air quality news on PM2.5 with an explanation of what it means and what is (isn't) being done to clean up our air and reduce air quality mortality (over 40,000 people in California alone per year. And news reporting of the monthly and yearly rates of water leakage loss rates from Bay Area water suppliers (it is over 10 percent per year).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arts and Culture:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Fyza: I would love for Forum to cover more local Bay Area authors and (the local) literary scene. Also, we should embrace the tech in SF and cover new innovations that are happening.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Christopher: More about California Indian tribes -- from their perspective; not just about casinos; more about their cultural history.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lars: Labyrinths are gaining popularity in hospitals, churches, schools, parks and backyard gardens creating sacred space for walking meditation. San Francisco has been the center of the modern rebirth with the installation of two labyrinths at Grace Cathedral and the leadership of Lauren Artress, who would be a great guest to speak on the past, present, and future of this mindfulness movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Stav: When Michael Pollan was on this year, he kept citing pithy quotes from a certain food marketer he'd interviewed, who developed a funny homespun philosophy and a rather dim view of humanity. Why not have him on? Also, you had a terrific program about the \"A**-hole\" expression and what typifies it. There is another American term and concept, also generally applied to males, even more damning: Loser. Perhaps you can devote a discussion to exploring that word and its meanings.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Health: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Linda: Please cover elder abuse by county employees, especially public guardians ...\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>DDP: Alzheimer's disease -- the coming tsunami.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lauren: There has been very little coverage of the battle in Sonoma County that actually affects the whole Bay Area. That’s the fluoridation issue. Nearly all the counties in our hip part of the earth are fluoridated except Sonoma County, but people are waking up. The decay rate in fluoridated cities isn’t lower than in non, meanwhile current research shows that fluoridation is toxic to the rest of the body and correlates with higher rates of cancer, Alzheimer’s and more. ... If Sonoma stops it, then activists elsewhere will try yet again to quit, this applies to us all in the KQED listener area, so how about more coverage?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Technology:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Brandon: I think it would be a good idea to open a discussion on creating a constitution for the Internet.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Philip: Soon, Congress will be considering action to limit NSA surveillance on U.S. citizens severely and demand transparency and accountability of our spy agencies. We the people need to make our viewpoints known to Congress and the president. In this connection, could you have some guests discuss the value and the historical-philosophical perspectives on privacy for human well-being?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bruce: A show on open access, Creative Commons and online publishing would be good. There is even an \"Open Access Week\".\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Misc:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Beth: Would love to hear more more shows on population issues, veganism, homeschooling and the growth of the NON religious population. And serious immigration reform NOW.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Laura: How about something inspiring about second careers for those over 50?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Antoine: I think that a discussion on the fact that we are the retail nation of the world is going to be a problem sooner than later. We are the buyers of every good in the world but we sell very little to other nations.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Kurt_InterestedinForum: Building things is tough, especially if it is new.

(NASA/European Space Agency)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Let's cut to the chase: Space pictures — images of the Earth shot from above, images of the heavens shot from any perspective — are captivating, period. The European Space Agency and NASA \u003ca href=\"http://spaceinimages.esa.int/Images/2013/11/Bay_Area\" target=\"_blank\">released the image\u003c/a> above earlier this week (it was actually shot by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station nearly a year ago). The big, high-res version of the photo is here: \u003ca href=\"http://spaceinimages.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2013/11/bay_area/13430116-1-eng-GB/Bay_Area.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area at night\u003c/a>. And if you're curious how the image relates to a map of the region, a Reddit user created a nice \u003ca href=\"http://www.layer5.us/pics/fb/night_overlay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">night overlay\u003c/a> using Google Maps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway: Just look at us and the way we beam our presence into space. I look for my home place in a well-known university town in the East Bay. I can't see my house or block, of course, but I can trace the main streets, and I swear the nearby BART station stands out in the night view from the more dimly lit surrounding neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we're contemplating our Bay Area beauty shot, here's another picture to consider, an image that puts our presence into a different context: \u003ca href=\"http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/imagedetails/index.cfm?imageId=4868\" target=\"_blank\">a now-famous image\u003c/a> from NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, a picture released last summer. In taking a mosaic of the planet and its rings as seen from its shadowed side, the spacecraft's cameras also captured a view of the Earth — from a distance of 900 million miles (roughly 10 times the distance from the Earth to the sun). Here we are, the bright blue dot at the lower right of the frame (and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ciclops.org/view_media/38487/One-Special-Day-in-the-Life-of-Planet-Earth\" target=\"_blank\">here's a bonus picture\u003c/a>: the same image enhanced to show the moon).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 559px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/03/california-curses-/earthsaturn/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-119865\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-119865\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/earthsaturn-559x640.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Saturn and its rings with a distant Earth--the bright blue dot at lower right--in the background.

Tell us about that image and the meaning of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carolyn Porco: \u003c/strong>Well, that image has a long and beautiful history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it goes back all the way to the Voyager mission, when Carl Sagan and I and others planned and executed an image taken from beyond the orbit of Neptune, looking back at the Earth, and it's become known since then as the \"Pale Blue Dot\" image, as describe by Carl Sagan so eloquently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that image, even though it's not much to look at, in the hands of Carl Sagan became a kind of romantic allegory of the human condition, showing the Earth alone in the vastness of space and small and fragile, and with the immediate recognition that everybody we have ever known, everyone who has ever been alive in the history of our planet lived on that dot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since I began my tenure as the leader on the imaging team for the Cassini mission, I have wanted to do that picture over again, only make it better. The idea of the Voyager \"Pale Blue Dot\" was to take a picture of the Earth awash in a sea of stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if you look at Voyager's \"Pale Blue Dot,\" there are no stars. Well, our new Cassini \"Pale Blue Dot\" image does have stars in it, and it shows the Earth against the beauty of Saturn's rings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My idea was, when thinking of doing this image over again, wouldn't it be great if we could get the people of the world to know ahead of time that their picture was going to be taken from a billion miles away, and let them know at this moment, go out, look up, contemplate your existence, contemplate the beauty and the lushness of our own planet, marvel at your own existence, and appreciate the magnitude of the accomplishment that has made this interplanetary photo session possible?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's exactly what it's done.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

(NASA/European Space Agency)\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Bay Area, in an International Space Station image. (NASA/European Space Agency)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Let's cut to the chase: Space pictures — images of the Earth shot from above, images of the heavens shot from any perspective — are captivating, period. The European Space Agency and NASA \u003ca href=\"http://spaceinimages.esa.int/Images/2013/11/Bay_Area\" target=\"_blank\">released the image\u003c/a> above earlier this week (it was actually shot by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station nearly a year ago). The big, high-res version of the photo is here: \u003ca href=\"http://spaceinimages.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2013/11/bay_area/13430116-1-eng-GB/Bay_Area.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area at night\u003c/a>. And if you're curious how the image relates to a map of the region, a Reddit user created a nice \u003ca href=\"http://www.layer5.us/pics/fb/night_overlay.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">night overlay\u003c/a> using Google Maps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway: Just look at us and the way we beam our presence into space. I look for my home place in a well-known university town in the East Bay. I can't see my house or block, of course, but I can trace the main streets, and I swear the nearby BART station stands out in the night view from the more dimly lit surrounding neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we're contemplating our Bay Area beauty shot, here's another picture to consider, an image that puts our presence into a different context: \u003ca href=\"http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/photos/imagedetails/index.cfm?imageId=4868\" target=\"_blank\">a now-famous image\u003c/a> from NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, a picture released last summer. In taking a mosaic of the planet and its rings as seen from its shadowed side, the spacecraft's cameras also captured a view of the Earth — from a distance of 900 million miles (roughly 10 times the distance from the Earth to the sun). Here we are, the bright blue dot at the lower right of the frame (and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ciclops.org/view_media/38487/One-Special-Day-in-the-Life-of-Planet-Earth\" target=\"_blank\">here's a bonus picture\u003c/a>: the same image enhanced to show the moon).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_119865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 559px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/03/california-curses-/earthsaturn/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-119865\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-119865\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/earthsaturn-559x640.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Saturn and its rings with a distant Earth--the bright blue dot at lower right--in the background.

(NASA/ESA)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca target=\"_blank\">Carolyn Porco\u003c/a>, the astrophysicist working as the lead imaging scientist on the Cassini mission, was on the PBS \"NewsHour\" last week and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/science/july-dec13/cassini_11-29.html\" target=\"_blank\">talked about\u003c/a> the picture:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Host Judy Woodruff: \u003c/strong>The most remarkable image to me is, of course, the one where you see Saturn in the corner and you see the rings, and then you see in the distance this tiny blue dot, which is Earth. Tell us about that image and the meaning of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carolyn Porco: \u003c/strong>Well, that image has a long and beautiful history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it goes back all the way to the Voyager mission, when Carl Sagan and I and others planned and executed an image taken from beyond the orbit of Neptune, looking back at the Earth, and it's become known since then as the \"Pale Blue Dot\" image, as describe by Carl Sagan so eloquently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that image, even though it's not much to look at, in the hands of Carl Sagan became a kind of romantic allegory of the human condition, showing the Earth alone in the vastness of space and small and fragile, and with the immediate recognition that everybody we have ever known, everyone who has ever been alive in the history of our planet lived on that dot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since I began my tenure as the leader on the imaging team for the Cassini mission, I have wanted to do that picture over again, only make it better. The idea of the Voyager \"Pale Blue Dot\" was to take a picture of the Earth awash in a sea of stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if you look at Voyager's \"Pale Blue Dot,\" there are no stars. Well, our new Cassini \"Pale Blue Dot\" image does have stars in it, and it shows the Earth against the beauty of Saturn's rings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My idea was, when thinking of doing this image over again, wouldn't it be great if we could get the people of the world to know ahead of time that their picture was going to be taken from a billion miles away, and let them know at this moment, go out, look up, contemplate your existence, contemplate the beauty and the lushness of our own planet, marvel at your own existence, and appreciate the magnitude of the accomplishment that has made this interplanetary photo session possible?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's exactly what it's done.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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>[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>. It shows that support for the unions has dropped: Fifty-four percent of respondents say that the unions should accept BART management's offer, up from 40 percent on Oct. 4. 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.

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.

If you want to make sure you’re only late for work once a month, you have to allow 3.74 times as long to get there as the trip would take on uncongested freeways. So for a 20-minute drive, you have to allow an hour and 15 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you can be late as often as once a week without getting fired, then you only have to allow twice as much time as the trip would take in ideal conditions -- or 40 minutes for that 20-minute trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the San Francisco-Oakland area ranks high in traffic jams, it’s also near the top in efforts to fix the problem. It’s number 3 in systems intended to improve traffic flows, including synchronized traffic signals on some major roads, freeway ramp metering and carpool lanes. These road systems save the area’s commuters a total of 18,956 hours and $400 million a year, the researchers calculated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the area came in No. 4 for public transportation. Its buses, streetcars, trains and ferries save commuters 36,714 hours and $776 million a year, they said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
