"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.",

A Center for Investigative Reporting analysis shows the ranks of veterans facing long waits increased by 18,000 since July 11, when the agency’s undersecretary for benefits, Allison Hickey, told reporters that the delays were unacceptable and pledged that the backlog would begin to shrink “right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By early January, the total number of veterans waiting for all claims had dipped slightly but remained above 900,000, with 630,000 – 70 percent – waiting longer than four months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Informed of the missed deadline, VA spokesman Steve Westerfeld amended the goal: The agency, he said in an email, now expects to turn the corner in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet two initiatives to reduce the logjam have failed to produce results so far, according to a CIR analysis of VA data. Four years after it was widely touted, a $537 million computer system has successfully processed 75 claims. And an effort to offload claims from the busiest offices has overloaded offices that previously had been performing well. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veterans groups are outraged and argue it is time for President Barack Obama to step in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who is being held accountable? Who’s being fired? What change is being made?” said Paul Rieckhoff, founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. “We’ve been patient for a long time and to hear, ‘Be patient for a while longer’ when you’re a disabled veteran is ridiculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Informed of the missed deadline, the VA amended the goal: The agency said it now expects to turn the corner in 2014.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There are a few bright spots. In Northern California, where a report by The Bay Citizen – now part of the Center for Investigative Reporting – touched off congressional outrage, nearly 5,000 fewer veterans have been waiting for more than four months. The VA’s Oakland office closed in June while its staff was retrained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fewer veterans also are waiting in other areas where media outlets picked up CIR’s coverage, including Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego and Waco, Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many factors no doubt play a role. In an interview, Diana Rubens, the VA’s deputy undersecretary for field operations, agreed that offices in those areas had received extra attention from Washington, but said she wasn’t sure if it was the result of media scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coincidence?” she said. “I don’t know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On an anecdotal basis, however, shining the spotlight on individual claimsmade a difference. Veterans featured in The Bay Citizen’s stories about wait times typically received benefits shortly after a reporter contacted the VA about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The VA approved a pension benefits claim from World War II veteran James Alderson on Dec. 12, the day after CIR asked the agency about his case for a story about \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/veterans/story/number-veterans-who-die-waiting-benefits/\">veterans who died while awaiting an answer\u003c/a>. A week later, the agency sent a $6,057 retroactive benefit check to his widow.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Navy medic Rachael Hairston received a call from the VA saying her claim had been approved Jan. 15, a day after CIR asked about her post-traumatic stress disorder claim while reporting this story. The Iraq veteran and her toddler had become homeless while she waited for two years. That same day, the VA transferred $39,075 in back pay to her bank account.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The same week Army veteran Michael Grabski was featured in a story on \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/veterans/story/veterans-disability-claims-buried/\">delays at the Oakland office\u003c/a>, the veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan received a call from a VA official who expedited his 2-year-old claim for post-traumatic stress disorder and a knee injury sustained during a patrol in Afghanistan. Grabski subsequently received two retroactive benefits checks totaling $45,000.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“It was a game changer,” he said of the story. After receiving his benefits, Grabski proposed to his longtime girlfriend and used a portion of the money to pay for their wedding at the Marines’ Memorial Club in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the couple is house hunting in Napa. Grabski’s $1,628 monthly disability check, coupled with his wife’s salary as a warehouse manager, provides enough regular income for the couple to qualify for a home loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After waiting so long, I feel like the next phase of my life has begun,” Grabski said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubens acknowledged that the agency gave special attention to individual veterans whose problems were exposed in the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an unfortunate way that things have had to get done recently,” she said. In the future, she added, the VA aspires to process claims quickly “so you don’t have to make that phone call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Positive outcomes are the exception, however, not the rule. Between July and December, the average delay veterans across the nation faced increased by two weeks, to 273 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cem>Center for Investigative Reporting: Chronic Errors on VA Disability Claims (Nov 2012)\u003c/em>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/QW9Biy76gBQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite shrinking backlogs in California, veterans there waited about five months longer by December than they had in July. Veterans filing claims with the Los Angeles office now face the longest delays in the nation – nearly 17 months on average –while Northern California veterans filing in Oakland wait an average of 14 months. More than 80 percent of veterans in both parts of the state wait more than four months. In San Diego, veterans wait an average of about 11 months for a decision, with 68 percent facing delays the VA considers unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait times vary dramatically across the country, offering the VA the potential to shuffle the deck a bit. Data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows that in the fiscal year that ended in September, the VA transferred nearly 47,000 claims, including 1,800 mailed out of Oakland in the months following CIR’s coverage of problems at that office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on the VA’s numbers, most of the offices experiencing a decline in inventory have been sending claims out, while those where the backlog is increasing have been receiving large numbers of those shifted claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Muskogee, Okla., regional office, which has received the bulk of claims transferred by Oakland, the number of veterans waiting more than four months increased by about 4,500. Previously, the Oklahoma office was processing claims faster than it received them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like Whac-A-Mole,”said Paul Sullivan, a Gulf War veteran and former senior VA project manager who now works at the Washington, D.C.-area law firm Bergmann & Moore. “All the VA is trying to do is hide the problem instead of solving it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transfers are about fairness, Rubens said. For a veteran, “it shouldn’t matter if I live in State A or State X, I should be getting the same treatment across the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more claims are being transferred than the official tally, she added, because the agency frequently mails a claim from one office to another without first entering it into the computer system that tracks transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For VA workers, all this shuffling is “demoralizing,” said Ron Robinson, an Army veteran who has worked for the past 16 years at the agency’s South Carolina office. That office shipped out 3,000 claims last year, yet still saw its backlog grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson said a single veteran’s claim frequently is mailed back and forth between offices multiple times to clear up questions and inconsistencies. The extra transfers increase the chance that a claim will be lost, he said, and can alarm veterans who are not only unable to figure out how close they are to receiving their benefits, but even who is handling their claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no sense of urgency,” said Sheryl Cornelius, 58, who lost her home to foreclosure while she waited a year for the agency to rule that her husband’s suicide was related to his service during the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War. On July 8, 2009, after a long battle with post-traumatic stress disorder, Jack Cornelius shot himself in the head in their Hinton, Okla., home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How many thousands of men have been buried with no questions asked or demanded from the VA?” she asked. “It makes me sick to think about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criticism of the VA also is coming from official circles. In mid-January, the Government Accountability Office issued a report saying the agency lacked “sound planning” and had no comprehensive plan to reduce the backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its written response to the audit, John Gingrich, the VA’s chief of staff, said the agency generally agrees with the GAO’s conclusions but argued that a series of reforms, including computerization of the claims process, called the Veterans Benefits Management System, will allow the agency to decide nearly all veterans’ compensation claims within four months by 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet four years after the VA pledged the technology upgrade, computer systems have been deployed at 18 of the 58 regional offices. Even at the offices that have received computers, more than 90 percent of disability claims remain on paper. Of the 24,588 claims entered into the system between October and January, 75 had been completed by year’s end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the first four offices to pilot the system – Salt Lake City; Providence, R.I.; Fort Harrison, Mont.; and Wichita, Kan. – CIR found the number of veterans waiting more than four months has grown since the VA undersecretary’s July press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the VA’s independent inspector general released a report stating that the computer system, which so far has cost taxpayers more than a half-billion dollars, still had not been adequately tested and could not fully perform the seven key tasks that claims processors must perform to get veterans their benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubens said that “the usability” of the computer system was improved during a series of tweaks in 2012 and that its use, and effectiveness, is poised to take off during the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Washington, observers are increasingly skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I see are promises,” said Rep. Jerry McNerney of California, formerly the ranking Democrat on the House subcommittee that oversees the VA’s disability claims bureaucracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he and other members of Congress ask questions, McNerney said, they get answers “that don’t quite square with reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Edited by Amy Pyle and copy edited by Nikki Frick and Christine Lee.

If you ask the Brown administration, the work is done – and it’s time for courts to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/health/la-ed-prisons-healthcare-jerry-brown-20130111,0,925681.story\">let go of the reform process\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the federal judges who have been overseeing the system have yet to relent. Now there’s a new secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation — a man who has functioned as a consultant to and a critic of California prisons – \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/About_CDCR/Secretary.html\">Jeffrey Beard\u003c/a>. (He still needs to be confirmed by the State Senate.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard was the chief of the department of corrections in Pennsylvania when he first became involved with California as an expert on a panel that advised prisons about recidivism (the technical term for former prisoners reoffending and ending back behind bars). That was 2006. Beard returned in 2008 to advise the three-judge panel of federal judges that’s been keeping a fire lit under the state to roll forward with reforms. Then in 2011, Beard began consulting for California directly. He estimates that he’s visited 20 California prison facilities over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a chance to ask him during an interview for \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201302040850/a\">The California Report\u003c/a> what he thinks has changed in the prison system. For one thing, 43,000 inmates have been either farmed out to private and out-of-state prisons or diverted to local lockups.\u003c!--more-->California prisons are running at about 150 percent of capacity — which is to say, still overcrowded, but not as much as they used to be. Nonetheless, federal judges have repeatedly insisted the state reduce the population to 137 percent of capacity. What’s the difference between those two levels of overcrowding? About 10,000 inmates, Beard says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the face of it, that sounds like a lot of prisoners, and Beard himself has called on California to reduce its population. So how does he find a way to agree with Governor Brown now? Beard says the judges need to let go of “design capacity” as their benchmark for determining how much overcrowding will allow for a constitutionally acceptable level of inmate health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody else in the country still talks about original design capacity,” Beard says. “They all talk about a rated capacity,” which is to say, taking into account adjustments made to facilities since they first opened. “California hasn’t been given credit for those changes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard points out that about $2.5 billion dollars have been spent upgrading medical and mental health care facilities. “Those expenditures should cause your capacity ratings to change. I would contend the system isn’t at 150 percent of capacity, but might be closer to 137 percent of capacity – if you look at all the changes [California has] made to the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of these new clinics aren’t actually open yet, and a lot of staff positions have yet to be filled. Is Beard counting chickens that have yet to hatch?\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> \u003cstrong>The system is providing a constitutional level of care, and if it’s doing that, it no longer needs federal oversight\u003c/strong>.” \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely not!” he says. He acknowledges that a highly anticipated new mental health care facility in Stockton hasn’t opened yet, but says that other facilities have. “I’ve seen it. I’ve seen people getting the treatment,” he says.

Now there’s a new secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation — a man who has functioned as a consultant to and a critic of California prisons – \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/About_CDCR/Secretary.html\">Jeffrey Beard\u003c/a>. (He still needs to be confirmed by the State Senate.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard was the chief of the department of corrections in Pennsylvania when he first became involved with California as an expert on a panel that advised prisons about recidivism (the technical term for former prisoners reoffending and ending back behind bars). That was 2006. Beard returned in 2008 to advise the three-judge panel of federal judges that’s been keeping a fire lit under the state to roll forward with reforms. Then in 2011, Beard began consulting for California directly. He estimates that he’s visited 20 California prison facilities over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a chance to ask him during an interview for \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201302040850/a\">The California Report\u003c/a> what he thinks has changed in the prison system. For one thing, 43,000 inmates have been either farmed out to private and out-of-state prisons or diverted to local lockups.\u003c!--more-->California prisons are running at about 150 percent of capacity — which is to say, still overcrowded, but not as much as they used to be. Nonetheless, federal judges have repeatedly insisted the state reduce the population to 137 percent of capacity. What’s the difference between those two levels of overcrowding? About 10,000 inmates, Beard says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the face of it, that sounds like a lot of prisoners, and Beard himself has called on California to reduce its population. So how does he find a way to agree with Governor Brown now? Beard says the judges need to let go of “design capacity” as their benchmark for determining how much overcrowding will allow for a constitutionally acceptable level of inmate health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But so powerful was Armstrong at that point, and so powerful was the myth, that it sort of wasn’t really investigated. Armstrong fought back. In a famous press conference, he had a confrontation with (investigative reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/public/article1192199.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Walsh\u003c/a>) where he said ‘Are you calling me a doper or are you calling me a liar?’ And with that aggression, with his ability to try to control the press, with the press’s unwillingness or inability to dig beneath that, the myth kept rolling down the tracks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Coyle, Armstrong’s doping saga–its intricacies, denials, and lawsuits–is a “perfect window in the way Lance’s mind works. A lot of people would say, and his lawyers would say, ‘Don’t put yourself at risk– it’s potentially tens, maybe even more, millions of dollars.’ But he looks at everything in a very binary way, he sees a path forward, he sees a goal and he just does it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle also said he believes a unique set of character traits drove Armstrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends how much risk you want to take, how entrepreneurial you are, how aggressive you are, how competitive you are,” Coyle said. “Lance was a guy who ticked all those boxes, he was the guy who was built to succeed in this world, and who pushed it. It’s one thing to just dope because other guys are doing it. It’s another thing to say, ‘We’re going to invent the wheel every single year. We’re going to push it every year. We’re like Silicon Valley.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as Coyle views Armstrong as the doping ringleader on his teams, he is equally adamant that doping has been part of the culture of cycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not that much difference between what happens on Wall Street and what happened in cycling during that era,” said Coyle. “You have very little regulation, you have very competitive people. … It’s easy to lose your way, especially when you’re determined to win at all costs. You know, that’s a phrase that we throw around a lot, but cycling in that era, and this story, shows us exactly what that means.” According to Coyle, his co-author Tyler Hamilton–himself a disgraced cycling doper–estimates that “90 percent of the guys on the Tour were doing something [illegal].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, says Coyle, “It was an honor to dope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle described Hamilton’s experience:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tyler [Hamilton] said that it felt like he was being picked for the A-team,” said Coyle. Hamilton says a friendly, white-haired doctor who had worked with champions told him, ” ‘You have to do this for your health. Don’t take this pill. Don’t take it tomorrow because you might get tested and get busted, but this will help you.’ And [Hamilton] did, and that was the start. And I’m sure that’s how Armstrong started, I’m sure that’s how all these guys started,” said Coyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just like these guys are taking an occasional syringe, this is an entire tapestry, it’s a whole secret world, it’s a soap opera,” said Coyle. “It’s sort of a mix of sports and some \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002110/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Bourne movie\u003c/a>. You’re transporting blood bags in a dog kennel to get during the race, and they’d go into a room and put plastic wrap over the toilet in case there was a microphone in there.

A lot of people would say, and his lawyers would say, ‘Don’t put yourself at risk– it’s potentially tens, maybe even more, millions of dollars.’ But he looks at everything in a very binary way, he sees a path forward, he sees a goal and he just does it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle also said he believes a unique set of character traits drove Armstrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends how much risk you want to take, how entrepreneurial you are, how aggressive you are, how competitive you are,” Coyle said. “Lance was a guy who ticked all those boxes, he was the guy who was built to succeed in this world, and who pushed it. It’s one thing to just dope because other guys are doing it. It’s another thing to say, ‘We’re going to invent the wheel every single year. We’re going to push it every year. We’re like Silicon Valley.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as Coyle views Armstrong as the doping ringleader on his teams, he is equally adamant that doping has been part of the culture of cycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not that much difference between what happens on Wall Street and what happened in cycling during that era,” said Coyle. “You have very little regulation, you have very competitive people. … It’s easy to lose your way, especially when you’re determined to win at all costs. You know, that’s a phrase that we throw around a lot, but cycling in that era, and this story, shows us exactly what that means.” According to Coyle, his co-author Tyler Hamilton–himself a disgraced cycling doper–estimates that “90 percent of the guys on the Tour were doing something [illegal].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, says Coyle, “It was an honor to dope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle described Hamilton’s experience:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tyler [Hamilton] said that it felt like he was being picked for the A-team,” said Coyle. Hamilton says a friendly, white-haired doctor who had worked with champions told him, ” ‘You have to do this for your health. Don’t take this pill. Don’t take it tomorrow because you might get tested and get busted, but this will help you.’ And [Hamilton] did, and that was the start. And I’m sure that’s how Armstrong started, I’m sure that’s how all these guys started,” said Coyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just like these guys are taking an occasional syringe, this is an entire tapestry, it’s a whole secret world, it’s a soap opera,” said Coyle. “It’s sort of a mix of sports and some \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002110/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Bourne movie\u003c/a>. You’re transporting blood bags in a dog kennel to get during the race, and they’d go into a room and put plastic wrap over the toilet in case there was a microphone in there. They would tape up the smoke detector in case there was a camera in there. And they would do the transfusions. It was incredibly risky, it was incredibly lucrative, it was incredibly frightening. And that’s the world they were living in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle suggested that you shouldn’t get your hopes up for Armstrong to show all his cards in his Oprah interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Telling the truth is difficult for these guys,” Coyle said. “It’s not like you can flip a switch and simply remove 15 years of denial….
