They make the news when they attack swimmers, and a California surfer died from a white shark attack off the coast of Santa Barbara County in October. Another fatal attack occurred two years prior in the same area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oceana described California’s great whites as being on the brink of extinction because of low numbers. The main threat to them is incidental capture in fishing nets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While targeting white sharks is prohibited, there are no limits on incidental catches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether or not you find great white sharks to be awe-inspiring or fear-provoking, they are an important part of the marine ecosystem, and due to their low population size and threats from human activities, they merit an endangered species listing,” said Ashley Blacow, Oceana’s Pacific Policy coordinator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sharks, which can grow to 20 feet long, already are protected by international treaties, but the candidacy status would mean the state protections will be enacted immediately. The biggest impact will be to set gillnet fisheries in Southern California, which sometimes snag juvenile white sharks while bottom fishing for halibut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fishing groups are unhappy with the potential listing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year, we lost a bunch of areas we fished to marine protections. Now environmental groups are looking for another fishery to fry,” said Chris Hoeflinger, spokesman for the Ventura County Commercial Fishermen’s Association. “This is going to be a big impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoeflinger said that as California regulations make it more difficult to fish, American consumers will have to rely more on imports that may not have come from clean water or been fished sustainably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you want (a California fisherman’s) fish he just caught that day, or do you want halibut from Mexico caught three weeks ago?” said Hoeflinger, who fishes for golden spot prawns.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They make the news when they attack swimmers, and a California surfer died from a white shark attack off the coast of Santa Barbara County in October. Another fatal attack occurred two years prior in the same area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oceana described California’s great whites as being on the brink of extinction because of low numbers. The main threat to them is incidental capture in fishing nets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While targeting white sharks is prohibited, there are no limits on incidental catches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether or not you find great white sharks to be awe-inspiring or fear-provoking, they are an important part of the marine ecosystem, and due to their low population size and threats from human activities, they merit an endangered species listing,” said Ashley Blacow, Oceana’s Pacific Policy coordinator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sharks, which can grow to 20 feet long, already are protected by international treaties, but the candidacy status would mean the state protections will be enacted immediately. The biggest impact will be to set gillnet fisheries in Southern California, which sometimes snag juvenile white sharks while bottom fishing for halibut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fishing groups are unhappy with the potential listing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year, we lost a bunch of areas we fished to marine protections. Now environmental groups are looking for another fishery to fry,” said Chris Hoeflinger, spokesman for the Ventura County Commercial Fishermen’s Association. “This is going to be a big impact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoeflinger said that as California regulations make it more difficult to fish, American consumers will have to rely more on imports that may not have come from clean water or been fished sustainably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you want (a California fisherman’s) fish he just caught that day, or do you want halibut from Mexico caught three weeks ago?” said Hoeflinger, who fishes for golden spot prawns.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He pushed an austerity message that forced cuts throughout state government during his first two years in office while persuading California voters to approve increases to the state sales tax and on income taxes on high-income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new revenue flowing in, Brown has warned his Democratic colleagues who control both houses of the state Legislature that they must not overplay their hand and spend too freely. The governor wants to build a reserve fund for future downturns to help smooth the type of boom-and-bust budget cycles that have become chronic in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors had to deal with,\" Brown said. \"The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend our money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His budget contains an $850 million surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants to focus the additional spending on public schools. His budget includes $2.7 billion more for K-12 education, which will account for 57 percent of general fund spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Brown's priorities is creating a new education funding formula. It would be aimed at giving school districts more control over spending and directing state money to the neediest children and poorest districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His proposal is expected to run into opposition from lawmakers representing more affluent regions of the state, but Brown said the state should spend proportionally more on students who have \"disproportionate challenges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not like it is to grow up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont,\" he said of his redistribution plan. \"It is controversial, but it is right and it's fair.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending cuts are still expected in some areas, such as the courts, while health care programs and social services are expected to see no increases in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's two four-year higher education systems, the University of California and California State University, each will receive $250 million more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's general fund spending hit a high of $103 billion before the recession decimated the state's economy and severely cut tax revenue for the state and municipalities. It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's environmental editors Paul Rogers and Andrea Kissack had this report about \u003ca name=\"the%20budget's%20environmental%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's environment provisions\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Environmentalist's are welcoming the Governor's budget news today\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong> It’s the first time in four years that a Governor has not proposed closing parks to save money.

A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration.

It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan.

By the way the cuts are about 3 times more than the taxes. But it’s entirely significant that we broke the logjam by going to the people. Because we do still have government by the people as well as for the people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors didn’t deal with.

There will be lots of bills as to how to deal with that. We’re spending more than any other state, and that’s good, and I support that. But we have to live within the means we have. Otherwise we get into that situation where we have red ink… I want to avoid the boom and the bust, the borrow and the spend…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fiscal discipline is not the enemy of democratic governance, but rather its fundamental predicate.

He pushed an austerity message that forced cuts throughout state government during his first two years in office while persuading California voters to approve increases to the state sales tax and on income taxes on high-income earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new revenue flowing in, Brown has warned his Democratic colleagues who control both houses of the state Legislature that they must not overplay their hand and spend too freely. The governor wants to build a reserve fund for future downturns to help smooth the type of boom-and-bust budget cycles that have become chronic in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm determined to avoid the fiscal mess that the last few governors had to deal with,\" Brown said. \"The way you avoid it is by holding the line, by exercising a common sense approach to how we spend our money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His budget contains an $850 million surplus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown wants to focus the additional spending on public schools. His budget includes $2.7 billion more for K-12 education, which will account for 57 percent of general fund spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Brown's priorities is creating a new education funding formula. It would be aimed at giving school districts more control over spending and directing state money to the neediest children and poorest districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His proposal is expected to run into opposition from lawmakers representing more affluent regions of the state, but Brown said the state should spend proportionally more on students who have \"disproportionate challenges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Growing up in Compton or Richmond is not like it is to grow up in Los Gatos or Beverly Hills or Piedmont,\" he said of his redistribution plan. \"It is controversial, but it is right and it's fair.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending cuts are still expected in some areas, such as the courts, while health care programs and social services are expected to see no increases in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's two four-year higher education systems, the University of California and California State University, each will receive $250 million more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's general fund spending hit a high of $103 billion before the recession decimated the state's economy and severely cut tax revenue for the state and municipalities. It dropped to a low of $87 billion during the 2011-12 fiscal year, requiring lawmakers to make deep cuts in a wide array of state services, including K-12 schools, higher education, the court system, and social services for the needy and disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's environmental editors Paul Rogers and Andrea Kissack had this report about \u003ca name=\"the%20budget's%20environmental%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's environment provisions\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Environmentalist's are welcoming the Governor's budget news today\u003cstrong>. \u003c/strong> It’s the first time in four years that a Governor has not proposed closing parks to save money. Instead, the state will hire 65 people to do fire prevention work paid for by a fire fee on rural landowners. A lumber tax will pay for more staff to do inspections on logging operations and their impact on streams. Also, the budget proposal provides funding for Salton Sea restoration. On the flip side, revenue from the state's first carbon credit auction could be less than expected, possibly because the initial price was low.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_22349299/environment-brown-administrations-budget-calls-more-money-and?source=pkg\" target=\"_blank\">More from Paul Rogers in the Mercury News\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>KQED's Charla Bear and Tyche Hendricks had this report on \u003ca name=\"education%20provisions\">\u003c/a>the budget's education provisions:\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The proposed budget would boost K-12 education by an additional $2.7 billion dollars. It would give public universities a modest increase, though less than they requested. Brown insisted that the University of California and California State University systems figure out how to do more with less, putting an emphasis more on educating undergraduates than on other priorities such as research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California educators are relieved that for the first time in years the governor's proposed budget would increase school funding. \"Overall, I think it's good news for schools,” said Mary Shelton,l superintendent of San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “It looks like we should be able to maintain some stability and perhaps begin to restore some programs that might have been cut.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelton says San Ramon and other wealthy suburban districts will likely get a smaller increase, though. That's because the governor's budget would give a larger share to districts with more low-income students and English Language Learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spending more on education for poor children and English learners will benefit all Californians in the long run, Brown said, even wealthy suburbanites whose schools might get less of an increase, because those people, in their old age, will depend on a skilled workforce paying taxes and taking care of the state’s growing elderly population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To direct more money to disadvantaged groups, the governor would eliminate most of the state's so-called \"categorical\" funding requirements -- pots of money targeted to specific programs. That would also give local school districts greater flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Freitas of the California Federation of Teachers says he's not sure that's such a good idea. \"We do believe in some local control, but we also believe the state does provide some checks on the locals in terms of requiring certain programs for these students of need.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislature still has to approve the plan.

By the way the cuts are about 3 times more than the taxes. But it’s entirely significant that we broke the logjam by going to the people.

(Phil Gingrey/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Speaking on KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201301020900\">Forum\u003c/a> on Wednesday, Jerry Nickelsburg, an adjunct professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, said that even in the best-case scenario we can expect the state’s economic growth to slow down by one to one-and-half percentage points because of increased taxes and spending reductions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal averted massive spending cuts and tax increases that were set to start on Monday. Other economists had predicted that these could push the nation into a second recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrangement cooked up in the Senate and approved by the House of Representatives on Tuesday limited the federal income tax increases to individuals earning more than $400,000 a year, and couples earning more than $450,000.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it allowed a 2-percent payroll tax cut to expire, and that will affect most working people. For example, individuals earning $50,000 a year will have to pay $1,000 more per year in the form of a Social Security tax, David Wessel, an economics editor for The Wall Street Journal said on Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also leaves the tax code a mess, with multiple loopholes for businesses. The increased revenues are only about 20 percent of what’s needed to reduce the U.S. debt to sustainable levels, said Wessel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the deal only delayed the spending cuts for another two months, with no agreement about how they might be sorted out, Wessel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, that poses big problems, said Nickelsburg. “First of all, I think it’s important to realize there is still a fiscal cliff there,” he said. “The spending cuts were just pushed down the road. There is still a lot of uncertainty going forward. And people are going to postpone decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postponing decisions can mean delaying investments the economy needs to move forward he said. “What we’re seeing is that California’s economic growth is slowing. We saw that in the last couple of months. We expect that this year. Heretofore, in the economic recovery we have been growing faster than the U.S. But we don’t expect that to continue in the coming months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news wasn’t all bad. The deal extended unemployment benefits which should benefit 400,000 Californians, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California we have an unemployment rate that is about 2 percentage points higher than the rest of the United States, so it’s relatively more important to Californians that those go through,” said Nicklesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, California has already raised taxes on high earners, and Nickelsburg warned that there may be limits to how much the rich can be soaked. “With Prop[osition] 30 we raised our income tax rates on the highest earners to the highest in the nation. You add those to the new [federal income tax] rates that were just passed with this deal and you have over 50% of income earned by high income earners in California paid out in taxes. Well, is that the tipping point where you have new job creation occurring elsewhere because the tax burden is too high? It remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past increases in taxes on high-income earners have had a marginal effect but not a huge effect because of the benefits of living here in California and the very dynamic knowledge communities that we have here. But that advantage may be dissipating, particularly if the problems continue and the high tax rates continue relative to elsewhere for a very long period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there any hope? If tempers in Washington cool and Democrats find common grounds with Republicans — after all everyone agrees the tax code needs fixing –then California could be headed for happier days in 2014, Nickelsburg said. “If that were to take place then I think the outlook for California is quite bright.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Other economists had predicted that these could push the nation into a second recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrangement cooked up in the Senate and approved by the House of Representatives on Tuesday limited the federal income tax increases to individuals earning more than $400,000 a year, and couples earning more than $450,000.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it allowed a 2-percent payroll tax cut to expire, and that will affect most working people. For example, individuals earning $50,000 a year will have to pay $1,000 more per year in the form of a Social Security tax, David Wessel, an economics editor for The Wall Street Journal said on Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The increased revenues are only about 20 percent of what’s needed to reduce the U.S. debt to sustainable levels, said Wessel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the deal only delayed the spending cuts for another two months, with no agreement about how they might be sorted out, Wessel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California, that poses big problems, said Nickelsburg. “First of all, I think it’s important to realize there is still a fiscal cliff there,” he said. “The spending cuts were just pushed down the road. There is still a lot of uncertainty going forward. And people are going to postpone decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Postponing decisions can mean delaying investments the economy needs to move forward he said. “What we’re seeing is that California’s economic growth is slowing. We saw that in the last couple of months. We expect that this year. Heretofore, in the economic recovery we have been growing faster than the U.S. But we don’t expect that to continue in the coming months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news wasn’t all bad. The deal extended unemployment benefits which should benefit 400,000 Californians, according to the Associated Press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California we have an unemployment rate that is about 2 percentage points higher than the rest of the United States, so it’s relatively more important to Californians that those go through,” said Nicklesburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, California has already raised taxes on high earners, and Nickelsburg warned that there may be limits to how much the rich can be soaked. “With Prop[osition] 30 we raised our income tax rates on the highest earners to the highest in the nation. You add those to the new [federal income tax] rates that were just passed with this deal and you have over 50% of income earned by high income earners in California paid out in taxes. Well, is that the tipping point where you have new job creation occurring elsewhere because the tax burden is too high? It remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past increases in taxes on high-income earners have had a marginal effect but not a huge effect because of the benefits of living here in California and the very dynamic knowledge communities that we have here. But that advantage may be dissipating, particularly if the problems continue and the high tax rates continue relative to elsewhere for a very long period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there any hope? If tempers in Washington cool and Democrats find common grounds with Republicans — after all everyone agrees the tax code needs fixing –then California could be headed for happier days in 2014, Nickelsburg said. “If that were to take place then I think the outlook for California is quite bright.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

California schools \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/edu/teacher-layoffs/teacher-layoffs-032212.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut about 32,000 teachers\u003c/a> between the 2007-08 and 2010-11 school years, the state legislative analyst reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state issued 2,888 emergency permits in 2010-11, according to a commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report [PDF]\u003c/a>. Eleven years earlier, when efforts to reduce class sizes led to a spike in hiring of under-prepared teachers, roughly 35,000 teachers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/EPW_2000_2001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employed on emergency permits [PDF]\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has come a long way in ensuring that all students have access to a fully prepared teacher, but we still have loopholes to close, and this is one of them,” said Tara Kini, a senior staff attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials said the current system works and allows schools to staff classes in true emergencies, such as an auto accident that might suddenly put a teacher on medical leave. A teacher on an emergency permit is preferable to a rotation of substitutes, who are limited to serving 30 days in general education and 20 days in special education, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instructional continuity, not only would students not learn, it really would not be safe in the environments that we work in” to rely on substitutes, David Simmons, director of human resources for the Ventura County Office of Education, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also said the public meetings at which governing boards must approve districts’ declarations of need for teachers served as checks on employing under-prepared teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community folks are saying, ‘We want the folks who have the right credentials, the right qualifications’ – they hold us accountable to that,” Teri Burns, senior director of policy and programs at the California School Boards Association, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission did not have available the overall number of emergency permits that districts estimate in their declarations of need, but records from some districts showed estimates were greater than actual hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for example, \u003ca href=\"http://esb.mdusd.k12.ca.us/attachments/d4f6a6a8-1fe3-4827-8155-07dab0550659.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said it would need [PDF]\u003c/a> 100 emergency permits for teachers without English language learner authorization and 12 for those without bilingual authorization in the 2010-11 school year. It \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/TSR_2010_11_Full_Report_Final_15March2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later hired [PDF]\u003c/a> nine teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and one for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"http://legistar.granicus.com/ousd/attachments/ax/5f/5f89b5a4-ea0d-4289-88be-054700ef9d4c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated [PDF]\u003c/a> it would need 150 emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 30 for bilingual authorization that same year. It hired 26 teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 10 for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To supporters of the current system, such numbers show that schools are hiring teachers on emergency permits only when necessary. To critics, the numbers underscore the argument for individual emergency permit applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California required individual applications for emergency permits until 1994, when it moved to districtwide declarations of need. It also used to offer more types of emergency permits, which for many years were called credentials despite their lower training requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, California replaced most emergency permits with short-term staff and provisional internship permits. One-year short-term staff permits are for unanticipated staffing needs and are not renewable. Provisional internship permits may be renewed once, but the commission also may decide \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-agenda.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">today\u003c/a> to eliminate this possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If schools can make do with fewer or no renewals for those permits, Kini said, “why wouldn’t we also apply it to emergency permits?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission’s report shows that, with the exception of teacher librarian credentials that require completion of longer training programs, authorizations to teach English learners, bilingual courses and resource specialist programs can be earned within three years – and they typically are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the current five-year limit on emergency permits is “very appropriate when needed,” Derek Ramage, director of certificated workforce management for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kini disagreed. “As a parent, and I am a parent of a kid in public school, I don’t want my student being taught by one of those (emergency permit) teachers for five years. I don’t think any parent wants that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n",

California schools \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/edu/teacher-layoffs/teacher-layoffs-032212.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut about 32,000 teachers\u003c/a> between the 2007-08 and 2010-11 school years, the state legislative analyst reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state issued 2,888 emergency permits in 2010-11, according to a commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report [PDF]\u003c/a>. Eleven years earlier, when efforts to reduce class sizes led to a spike in hiring of under-prepared teachers, roughly 35,000 teachers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/EPW_2000_2001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employed on emergency permits [PDF]\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has come a long way in ensuring that all students have access to a fully prepared teacher, but we still have loopholes to close, and this is one of them,” said Tara Kini, a senior staff attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials said the current system works and allows schools to staff classes in true emergencies, such as an auto accident that might suddenly put a teacher on medical leave. A teacher on an emergency permit is preferable to a rotation of substitutes, who are limited to serving 30 days in general education and 20 days in special education, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instructional continuity, not only would students not learn, it really would not be safe in the environments that we work in” to rely on substitutes, David Simmons, director of human resources for the Ventura County Office of Education, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also said the public meetings at which governing boards must approve districts’ declarations of need for teachers served as checks on employing under-prepared teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community folks are saying, ‘We want the folks who have the right credentials, the right qualifications’ – they hold us accountable to that,” Teri Burns, senior director of policy and programs at the California School Boards Association, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission did not have available the overall number of emergency permits that districts estimate in their declarations of need, but records from some districts showed estimates were greater than actual hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for example, \u003ca href=\"http://esb.mdusd.k12.ca.us/attachments/d4f6a6a8-1fe3-4827-8155-07dab0550659.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said it would need [PDF]\u003c/a> 100 emergency permits for teachers without English language learner authorization and 12 for those without bilingual authorization in the 2010-11 school year. It \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/TSR_2010_11_Full_Report_Final_15March2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later hired [PDF]\u003c/a> nine teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and one for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"http://legistar.granicus.com/ousd/attachments/ax/5f/5f89b5a4-ea0d-4289-88be-054700ef9d4c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated [PDF]\u003c/a> it would need 150 emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 30 for bilingual authorization that same year. It hired 26 teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 10 for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To supporters of the current system, such numbers show that schools are hiring teachers on emergency permits only when necessary. To critics, the numbers underscore the argument for individual emergency permit applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California required individual applications for emergency permits until 1994, when it moved to districtwide declarations of need. It also used to offer more types of emergency permits, which for many years were called credentials despite their lower training requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, California replaced most emergency permits with short-term staff and provisional internship permits. One-year short-term staff permits are for unanticipated staffing needs and are not renewable. Provisional internship permits may be renewed once, but the commission also may decide \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-agenda.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">today\u003c/a> to eliminate this possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If schools can make do with fewer or no renewals for those permits, Kini said, “why wouldn’t we also apply it to emergency permits?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission’s report shows that, with the exception of teacher librarian credentials that require completion of longer training programs, authorizations to teach English learners, bilingual courses and resource specialist programs can be earned within three years – and they typically are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the current five-year limit on emergency permits is “very appropriate when needed,” Derek Ramage, director of certificated workforce management for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kini disagreed. “As a parent, and I am a parent of a kid in public school, I don’t want my student being taught by one of those (emergency permit) teachers for five years. I don’t think any parent wants that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In a 2009 report, for instance, one analyst termed some of its financial statements “wrong and misleading.” The following year, another said its “earnings momentum appears to be negative.” And after HP announced its plan to buy the company in August 2011, a third analyst predicted the acquisition would “destroy” HP’s stock value.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-tribune/ci_22111419/squid-fishermen-wrap-up-another-banner-year\">Squid fishermen wrap up another banner year\u003c/a> (Bay Area News Group)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It’s a great time to be a calamari lover. California fishermen have capitalized on favorable ocean conditions with a historic three-year haul of market squid, whose cylindrical bodies are most recognizable in appetizer form: sliced, breaded and deep-fried. These small squid make up the state’s largest fishery by both weight and value, having brought in roughly $68.5 million in 2011. Fishermen netted a record-breaking 133,642 tons of the cephalopods during the 2010-11 season, then topped that mark the following year with 134,910 tons, according to the California Department of Fish and Game. This season’s catch was also robust, though it is expected to fall a bit short of those staggering totals.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
