In addition to covering California and Bay Area news, Kelly writes the (mostly) crafty blog \u003ca href=\"http://www.makegrowgather.com/\">Make Grow Gather\u003c/a>. There she chronicles her love of making things like lemon curd from foraged fruit, spray-painted lampshades and cut felt placemats. The projects she creates are regularly picked up by national websites and magazines. Kelly grew up in a renovated barn in Virginia and is constantly trying to bring a little bit of her rural upbringing to her now-urban life. By day, she catches the N-Judah out the front door. By weekend, she tends bees and grows vegetables in the backyard.",

"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

Brown insists that he's willing to pursue only two options for erasing the projected $26 billion budget deficit: a blend of cuts, transfers, and taxes... or... a budget of only cuts and transfers with most of the deficit being erased by cuts.

It's close, but actually not $26 billion in literal cuts to programs.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor says he \u003cem>won't\u003c/em> agree to the well-known third option used at the Capitol in recent years: budget gimmicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor hasn't said exactly what additional cuts he'll propose if either the special election isn't called or if voters reject about $13 billion in extended taxes. But the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office has offered a list of \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2011/02/legislative-analyst-identifies.html\">likely targets\u003c/a>, a list requested by state Sen.

Republicans in the Legislature haven't put forward a comprehensive alternative plan to either the Brown budget or to the Democratic legislative budget (which is similar to Brown's in most respects).

Bottom line: For weeks, Governor Brown has been challenging opponents of his budget plan to produce a comprehensive alternative. To be fair, there are some parts of his plan that Democrats have rejected but haven't fully filled with an alternative.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
