But even as speaker after speaker presented a highly technical recap of cleanup assessments revealing no major health danger, island dwellers remained uneasy — many of them vocally angry. The meeting was called in response to reports by The Bay Citizen and the East Bay Express detailing updated radiological findings, plus an anecdotal but troubling string of cancer cases among longtime residents. The Navy closed the base in 1997, when it began transferring the man-made isle to The City. It had been the site of cleanup and maintenance for ships — some of which were used in atomic tests in the Pacific Ocean in the 1940s and 1950s.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The college got into trouble because, unlike other colleges, it failed to make the budget cuts necessary to keep up with reductions in state funding, never set aside money for its growing retirement obligations, and “has provided salary increases and generous benefits with no discernible means to pay for them,” says the review by the state’s Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team, authorized by state law to help public schools in financial trouble.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Soda-bucks-flow-against-Richmond-measure-3875890.php\">Soda bucks flow against Richmond measure\u003c/a> (SF Chronicle)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Big Soda is expecting to spend upward of a million bucks in the coming weeks to sour the residents of Richmond on the idea of putting a penny-an-ounce tax on high-sugar drinks.

But even as speaker after speaker presented a highly technical recap of cleanup assessments revealing no major health danger, island dwellers remained uneasy — many of them vocally angry. The meeting was called in response to reports by The Bay Citizen and the East Bay Express detailing updated radiological findings, plus an anecdotal but troubling string of cancer cases among longtime residents. The Navy closed the base in 1997, when it began transferring the man-made isle to The City. It had been the site of cleanup and maintenance for ships — some of which were used in atomic tests in the Pacific Ocean in the 1940s and 1950s.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The entire west sidewalk will close Tuesday and remain closed through September as part of a seismic retrofit construction project. Bicycles and pedestrians will share the east sidewalk, with 24-hour access for bicyclists and sunrise-to-sunset use permitted for pedestrians, bridge officials said. The construction work also involves replacement of the roof of the Marin Anchorage Housing. Come September, construction will move to the east sidewalk, but only a 300-foot section will be closed for four months into 2012. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/san-mateo-county/ci_18157383\">PG&E, other utilities seek to weaken power-pole safety rules\u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a move criticized as a ruse to reduce their liability for wildfires caused by their electrical lines, PG&E and other state utilities are seeking to weaken long-standing regulations for how sturdy their power poles need to be.
