I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>Step into \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/duxwell-printing-san-francisco-2\">Duxwell Printing\u003c/a>, tucked away in one of Chinatown's narrow alleyways, and you'll feel like you've entered a time warp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cramped space is stacked with paper, and there's an old-fashioned printing press chugging away in the middle. Owner David Tse says he uses it to number laundry tickets, restaurant invoices -- basically anything on paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Except money,\" Tse laughs. \"We don't print money!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laughing alongside him is one of his frequent customers, Jenny Chan. About eight months ago, she and two other women opened a new business upstairs called \u003ca href=\"http://1920c.com/\">1920C\u003c/a>, and today Tse is one of their biggest cheerleaders. A year ago, he was thinking about closing up shop. Then they moved in, and everything changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ever since they showed up, I think they recommended more than 20 other businesses to me,\" says Tse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan, 25, and her partners thought Chinatown would welcome their idea of turning an old abandoned restaurant into a place where people could rent out workspace. They wanted to create a safe and supportive community, particularly for women. But what they didn't anticipate was that, to some Chinatown activists, the business looked like gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think it was their intention to break the rules of the plan intentionally, but that's the situation they find themselves in,\" says Cindy Wu, deputy director of operations at the\u003ca href=\"http://www.chinatowncdc.org/\"> Chinatown\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.chinatowncdc.org/\">Community Development Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan she's talking about is a set of zoning restrictions that limit office space, and she has good reasons for guarding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/general_plan/Chinatown.htm\">Chinatown Area Plan\u003c/a>, there would not be the Chinatown that we know today,\" says Wu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinatown was born out of discrimination -- it was for a long time one of the few places in San Francisco that Chinese immigrants could live. After the 1906 earthquake, some city officials wanted to move the residents and take over the valuable land\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>but \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5337215\">strong resistance \u003c/a>from the Chinese population caused them to abandon that effort. \u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It continues to be prime real estate today, but the zoning plan, developed in the 1980s, prevents commercial office developers from taking over the neighborhood. To Wu, Chan's business looked a lot like an office when it opened last spring, and she sounded the alarm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"San Francisco's Chinatown is held up as a model of protection and keeping a living and breathing Chinatown, and the nation looks to us as a model,\" Wu says. \"And without these protections, we would not be able to endure all the different booms and busts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see how the plan works as you walk through \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/attractions/portsmouthsquare.html\">Portsmouth Square\u003c/a>. Elderly residents sit in circles playing card games. Parents watch toddlers chase pigeons. The office towers of the Financial District loom large over the square, but they don't encroach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan thinks her business is more like Portsmouth Square than one of those big offices. It offers free community space with art gallery shows, yoga classes and music recitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had a lot of people who've come to our events who say, 'Wow! This is the first time that we've ever held events in Chinatown,' and so I really feel like we're opening the door of Chinatown to everyone,\" says Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan speaks fluent Cantonese but she's still learning about her own heritage. A couple of weeks ago, she went to Chinatown's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wokshop.com/\">The Wok Shop \u003c/a>to buy her first wok. When she took it home, she quickly realized she didn't really know what she was doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The first few times I burned it because I didn't know how to cook with the wok,\" Chan explains. \"But I'm much better at it now! You have to be really fast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan is also getting seasoned in Chinatown's laws and politics. She's waiting to find out whether the city will reclassify her business as a neighborhood service and retail space. Whatever happens, she says, there's got to be a place for thoughtful new ventures that enhance Chinatown without tearing it down.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They wanted to create a safe and supportive community, particularly for women. But what they didn't anticipate was that, to some Chinatown activists, the business looked like gentrification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think it was their intention to break the rules of the plan intentionally, but that's the situation they find themselves in,\" says Cindy Wu, deputy director of operations at the\u003ca href=\"http://www.chinatowncdc.org/\"> Chinatown\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.chinatowncdc.org/\">Community Development Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan she's talking about is a set of zoning restrictions that limit office space, and she has good reasons for guarding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Without the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/general_plan/Chinatown.htm\">Chinatown Area Plan\u003c/a>, there would not be the Chinatown that we know today,\" says Wu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinatown was born out of discrimination -- it was for a long time one of the few places in San Francisco that Chinese immigrants could live. After the 1906 earthquake, some city officials wanted to move the residents and take over the valuable land\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>but \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5337215\">strong resistance \u003c/a>from the Chinese population caused them to abandon that effort. \u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It continues to be prime real estate today, but the zoning plan, developed in the 1980s, prevents commercial office developers from taking over the neighborhood. To Wu, Chan's business looked a lot like an office when it opened last spring, and she sounded the alarm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"San Francisco's Chinatown is held up as a model of protection and keeping a living and breathing Chinatown, and the nation looks to us as a model,\" Wu says. \"And without these protections, we would not be able to endure all the different booms and busts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see how the plan works as you walk through \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/attractions/portsmouthsquare.html\">Portsmouth Square\u003c/a>. Elderly residents sit in circles playing card games. Parents watch toddlers chase pigeons. The office towers of the Financial District loom large over the square, but they don't encroach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan thinks her business is more like Portsmouth Square than one of those big offices. It offers free community space with art gallery shows, yoga classes and music recitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've had a lot of people who've come to our events who say, 'Wow! This is the first time that we've ever held events in Chinatown,' and so I really feel like we're opening the door of Chinatown to everyone,\" says Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan speaks fluent Cantonese but she's still learning about her own heritage. A couple of weeks ago, she went to Chinatown's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wokshop.com/\">The Wok Shop \u003c/a>to buy her first wok. When she took it home, she quickly realized she didn't really know what she was doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The first few times I burned it because I didn't know how to cook with the wok,\" Chan explains. \"But I'm much better at it now! You have to be really fast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan is also getting seasoned in Chinatown's laws and politics. She's waiting to find out whether the city will reclassify her business as a neighborhood service and retail space. Whatever happens, she says, there's got to be a place for thoughtful new ventures that enhance Chinatown without tearing it down.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

My father told me long ago that the dish is made up of items gathered from the earth, air and sea. Most of them have undergone some process, such as drying, salting or transforming, as with beans into tofu and bean curd. It’s an example of humans cooperating with nature to make its gifts go further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lo han jai is traditional on New Year’s Day itself in many Asian-American families. “My mother declared oysters to be vegetables so she could use oyster sauce in the dish,” Wong Fillmore said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Year of the Snake slithers off, what should we expect from the Year of the Horse, or, specifically, the Wood Horse, as this year is designated?

They are quick to learn independence — foals can walk minutes after birth — and they have a straightforward and positive attitude towards life. They are known for their communication skills and are exceedingly witty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The article also mentioned that those born in the Year of the Horse include former President Franklin Roosevelt, astronaut Neil Armstrong, scientist Louis Pasteur, singer Aretha Franklin and Mongol ruler Genghis Khan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The animals of the Chinese zodiac come around every 12 years and the elements that govern it — fire, earth, metal, water and wood — operate on a 60-year-cycle.

His forecast for the year, tailored to each zodiac sign, was detailed and not always encouraging: Rats will have a tough time. Tigers might experience the death of a loved one, and Pigs might have to deal with lots of family confrontations. But Ox people will prosper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, even though it’s their year, horse people will face a “rocky road” in 2014, Sung wrote.

Jennifer Ikemoto. But restaurants had to sell their shark fin by the start of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 26 million and 73 million sharks are killed annually for their fins, scientists \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2011/02/23/shark-fin-trade-puts-sharks-at-risk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimate\u003c/a>.

Many restaurants still have shark fin on the menu.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If a restaurant buys shark fin from an importer, the restaurant cannot resell,” Lee said. “That’s the problem. That means importers have nowhere to sell their shark fin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importers have until June 30 to dispose of their stock. Since restaurants are no longer buying, their only option is to sell directly to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said the law is unfair to restaurant owners and customers who have been consuming shark-fin soup all their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, a federal court \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/restaurants/article/Judge-refuses-to-block-shark-fin-ban-4163045.php\">rejected\u003c/a> a suit by two Chinese-American groups that sought to block the ban. The groups argued that the law violated their civil rights because it targeted a food item that plays an important cultural role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the ban, California had the largest market for shark fins outside Asia, the AP \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/07/shark-fin-trade-banned-california_n_1000906.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a>. Fins can sell for $600 a pound, and the soup can cost as much as $100 a bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of shark-finning, as the practice is known, cite not only humane concerns but also conservation concerns. Twenty-six species of shark are endangered, and another 115 species are considered vulnerable or near-threatened, according to Defenders of Wildlife. And as top predators in the ocean, the decline of shark populations has the potential to disrupt entire ecosystems, Christopher Chin of the San Francisco-based Center for Oceanic Awareness, Research and Education told \u003ca href=\"http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-09-07/national/35275652_1_shark-fin-fin-trade-fin-soup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post\u003c/a> in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sports fishermen who catch a shark legally are still allowed to keep the fin for personal use or to donate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and Guam have also banned the shark-fin trade.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many restaurants still have shark fin on the menu.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If a restaurant buys shark fin from an importer, the restaurant cannot resell,” Lee said. “That’s the problem. That means importers have nowhere to sell their shark fin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Importers have until June 30 to dispose of their stock. Since restaurants are no longer buying, their only option is to sell directly to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee said the law is unfair to restaurant owners and customers who have been consuming shark-fin soup all their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, a federal court \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/restaurants/article/Judge-refuses-to-block-shark-fin-ban-4163045.php\">rejected\u003c/a> a suit by two Chinese-American groups that sought to block the ban.

Twenty-six species of shark are endangered, and another 115 species are considered vulnerable or near-threatened, according to Defenders of Wildlife. And as top predators in the ocean, the decline of shark populations has the potential to disrupt entire ecosystems, Christopher Chin of the San Francisco-based Center for Oceanic Awareness, Research and Education told \u003ca href=\"http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-09-07/national/35275652_1_shark-fin-fin-trade-fin-soup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post\u003c/a> in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sports fishermen who catch a shark legally are still allowed to keep the fin for personal use or to donate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii and Guam have also banned the shark-fin trade.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger finally granted Zheng parole in 2005, but because his imprisonment had prevented him from becoming a naturalized citizen, he was taken into custody by the Department of Homeland Security pending deportation proceedings. He was \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsFTP17aRqU\">set free\u003c/a> in 2007, but an immigration court eventually ordered that he be deported to China, where he lived as a boy.
