"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.",

(Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The court is ruling on an appeal of Judge Vaughn Walker’s now-famous August, 2010 decision to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban because it violated the \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/Equal_protection\">Equal Protection Clause\u003c/a> of the U.S. Constitution. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/goodasyou/d/35374462-California-Prop-8-Ruling-August-2010\">Read that decision here\u003c/a>.) It will also rule on a motion by Prop 8 proponents to have the Walker decision vacated on the grounds that he should have recused himself from the case because of his own long-term, same-sex relationship. That \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/06/14/judge-denies-motion-to-vacate-walker-prop-8-ruling/\">motion failed in a lower court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 8 was challenged by two same-sex couples, who sued to have it overturned. That led to Judge Walker’s decision. (You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/03/scott-shafer-interviews-perry-of-perry-v-schwarzenegger-prop-8-case/\">listen to Scott Shafer’s interview with one of those plaintiffs, Kris Perry, here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the court uphold Walker’s nullification of Prop 8, does that mean same-sex couples will now be able to get married? Highly unlikely. As the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19903900\">Mercury News’ Howard Mintz reports\u003c/a>: “Legal experts predict that even if the appeals court upholds Walker and strikes down Proposition 8, the judges are likely to put their ruling on hold to give Proposition 8 defenders an opportunity to appeal further. As a result, same-sex couples are likely to have to wait still longer for the right to wed in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cem>Update 7:02 p.m.\u003c/em> Also from \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19905426?source=rss&cid=dlvr.it\">Howard Mintz\u003c/a>: “The losing side can ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case with an 11-judge panel, a process known as en banc review. A majority of the 9th Circuit’s two dozen full-time judges must vote to rehear a case en banc, but this often occurs in high-profile cases where there is disagreement within the court. The losing side has 14 days to ask for such a rehearing. If the 9th Circuit refuses to grant the request, the next step is the U.S. Supreme Court.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/02/06/timeline-the-long-battle-over-same-sex-marriage-in-california/\">Timeline: Same-Sex Marriage in California\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>To look at just one aspect of the constitutional merits or lack of same addressed at the Ninth Circuit hearing, check out the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/2010/12/06/prop-8-appeal-now-its-up-to-the-judges/\">report on KQED’s Prop 8 blog\u003c/a> by Dan Brekke, written after the December, 2010 hearing. He pulled the following \u003ca href=\"http://prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">analysis\u003c/a> about the constitutional question from Brian Leubitz, publisher of the Calitics blog, who wrote for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">Prop 8 Trial Tracker\u003c/a>, a pro same-sex marriage site. Leubitz focused on an exchange between Judge N. Randy Smith and attorney Charles Cooper, representing the proponents of Proposition 8, over the significance of the word “marriage”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Judge Smith focused a couple times on whether the State of California was in a worse position for having passed Prop 8 because it has given all of the same rights and privileges under the auspices of the domestic partnership statute. In other words, if we are only fighting over a word, and no substantive differences at the state level, aren’t we essentially creating a subclass? And roughly transcribed, here’s what [Charles] Cooper [attorney for Prop. 8 proponents] said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper: The word is the institution. If you redefine the word, you change the institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually think this was a big moment of the oral argument. It said that yes, the anti-equality forces were there only to “put down” gays and lesbians, or as San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart said, [from my rough notes]…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the word is the institution, then the argument is just that gays and lesbians would “stain” the institution. The fact that Prop 8 is symbolic, it makes the insult obvious. This is classification for its own sake, and it violates the equal protection clause. Taking these components together, it infers animus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we only passed Prop 8 to show that same-sex couples aren’t as good, or as worthy as other couples, then isn’t the equal protection argument plain to see? It reveals the naked schoolyard taunting aspect of Prop 8. Nah-nanny-boo boo, you aren’t as good as me. And frankly, nanny-boo-boo isn’t a valid use of state authority.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brekke continued…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Theodore Olson, representing the plaintiffs trying to overturn Prop. 8, also took note of “the word.” He started his argument with a bang, saying “this court should focus on the fundamental fact that California has engraved discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation into its fundamental governing charter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson stressed that the character of Proposition 8 went beyond simply prohibiting same-sex marriage because it reversed a right established by the state Supreme Court in 2008. (For you California initiative history fans, he cited a case from the 1960s, Reitman v. Mulkey, in which the state high court–affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court–struck down a state initiative that encouraged discrimination in housing sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge N. Randy Smith suggested the state might indeed have a rational basis for observing a distinction between opposite-sex and same-sex couples—a suggestion Olson rejected. The judge persisted, leading Olson to seize on Cooper’s “the word is the institution” argument:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith: Now just sit the question—the idea of distinguishing marriages from domestic partnerships in name only, to promote it as a vehicle for procreation, all else being equal, children likely to thrive when raised by father and mother who brought them into this world—that it is irrational?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson: Yes. In the first place, Mr. Cooper specifically said just a few moments ago ‘the name is the institution.’ Those are his words virtually verbatim. The name is the institution, and the witnesses at this trial, the witnesses that came forward and were willing to be cross-examined and were willing to testify under oath, not the law review articles and so forth that were put forth by the proponents, but the witnesses that came forward in this case, and the plaintiffs and other witnesses in this case talked about what marriage meant to them and what it means in this society as an institution. Not just what the [California] Supreme Court said, but we had what the plaintiffs said, what the experts said, what the Supreme Court said, and what the district court found. And there’s nothing that would suggest that children would thrive in a better way in that environment. In fact, the proponents’ expert, Mr. Blankenhorn, testified that the children in those relationships [same-sex households] would be better off, that we would be a better country, that we would be closer to the American ideal, if same-sex marriage were permitted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To review the 9th Circuit appeal further, check out Dan Brekke \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/2010/12/06/proposition-8-appeals-hearing-live-blog/\">live-blog of the oral arguments\u003c/a> that day, while also watching this \u003ca href=\"http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/296911-1\">video replay\u003c/a> from C-SPAN.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There are \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/aids/Documents/SSSemiAnnualRptJun2011.pdf\">nearly 42,000 Californians\u003c/a> [PDF] living with HIV as of June 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weinstein added that as an HIV treatment, he thinks Truvada is a “fabulous drug – it’s one pill once a day, and it has a low side-effect burden,” which include nausea, vomiting and weight loss. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new pharmaceutical prevention approach to HIV and AIDS is known in scientific circles as “pre-exposure prophylaxis,” or PrEP, and it involves taking the antiretroviral medications on a daily basis.

Karger’s parody, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EQso7JBg8cI\">Rick Perry Ashamed\u003c/a>,\" went viral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New Hampshire, Karger has been saying that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ricksantorum.com/\">Rick Santorum\u003c/a>’s anti-gay rhetoric is “turning back the clock...to a 19\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century type of discussion...that is ripping the country apart.” That message seemed to resonate with a group of students at \u003ca href=\"http://www.nec.edu/\">New England College\u003c/a> in Concord, who over the weekend, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGzsHURVE7Q&feature=player_embedded\">heckled and debated\u003c/a> the former Pennsylvania senator for comparing same- sex marriage to polygamy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Karger last week at a dinner for campaign supporters at The Puritan Backroom restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire.

He hopes to chalk up enough votes to qualify for a spot on the party’s televised debate schedule. Like candidates Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney, Karger has been practically living in the Granite State. He says he entered the race because he wants young gays to know they can do anything, including become president of the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His campaign events are small. He hands out buttons and frisbees with the slogan “Fred Who?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his home state of California, Karger was a leader in the effort to defeat Proposition 8, the voter-approved measure banning same-sex marriage. During the campaign, he \u003ca href=\"http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/02/fred-karger-save-gay-marriage\">discovered and publicized the large amount of funding\u003c/a> for the pro-Prop 8 side provided by the Mormon Church. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the presidential campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://video.msnbc.msn.com/msnbc-tv/42553306\">Karger has pointed his finger\u003c/a> at \u003ca href=\"http://www.mittromney.com/s/mitt-romney-2012\">Mitt Romney,\u003c/a> the current GOP frontrunner and a prominent Mormon, for being part of a church crusade against same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Karger joined a chorus of YouTube video producers to parody Texas Governor \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickperry.org/\">Rick Perry\u003c/a>’s campaign ad, titled \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PAJNntoRgA\">Strong\u003c/a>,\" which takes issue with gays and lesbians being able to serve in the military. Karger’s parody, \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EQso7JBg8cI\">Rick Perry Ashamed\u003c/a>,\" went viral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New Hampshire, Karger has been saying that \u003ca href=\"http://www.ricksantorum.com/\">Rick Santorum\u003c/a>’s anti-gay rhetoric is “turning back the clock...to a 19\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> century type of discussion...that is ripping the country apart.” That message seemed to resonate with a group of students at \u003ca href=\"http://www.nec.edu/\">New England College\u003c/a> in Concord, who over the weekend, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGzsHURVE7Q&feature=player_embedded\">heckled and debated\u003c/a> the former Pennsylvania senator for comparing same- sex marriage to polygamy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Karger last week at a dinner for campaign supporters at The Puritan Backroom restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Supporters of Prop. 8 argue for that reason Judge Vaughn Walker should have disclosed he was in a long term relationship with another man — and whether he ever intended to marry him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Cooper, an attorney for Protect Marriage dot com, told an Appeals Court panel Thursday that a reasonable person could conclude that Judge Walker had a conflict of interest. But several judges questioned that notion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A married judge would never be able to hear a divorce?” asked Judge Michael Hawkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing for opponents of Prop. 8, attorney David Boies said the disclosure standard promoted by the other side would require any minority judge to reveal whether he or she might take advantage of a pro-civil rights ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the issue of disclosure, the panel took up another question — whether the Prop. 8 trial tapes be unsealed and made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these issues will likely be settled before this same panel rules on the fundamental question — whether Prop. 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:00 p.m.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court has adjourned for the day.

An appeal of a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/files/2011/12/District_court_order-to-release-tapes.pdf\">District court order to release the Prop. 8 trial tapes\u003c/a>. Plaintiff’s attorney Theodore Olson will argue the case for releasing the digital videos. Attorney Charles Cooper will speak on behalf of overturning the lower court’s decision and keeping the tapes sealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. An appeal of a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/files/2011/12/Motion-to-vacate.pdf\">decision rejecting efforts to have Judge Walker’s decision vacated\u003c/a> because he had a conflict of interest as a gay man in a long-term relationship. Mr. Cooper will argue for Prop. 8 proponents, while David Boies will present the oral arguments on behalf of the lower-court decision striking down the motion to vacate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both decisions were made in the past year by federal Judge James Ware, Chief Judge of the Northern District of California. Regarding the tapes, Judge Ware wrote that unsealing and releasing them to the public was in the public interest and necessary to maintain transparency in a case of such fundamental importance. His decision is supported by a coalition of media organizations, that includes Fox News, the NY Times and KQED among others. An attorney representing that coalition will participate in Thursday’s oral arguments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In strongly \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/files/2011/12/Doc-797-Order-Denying-Motion-to-Vacate.pdf\">rejecting the motion to vacate\u003c/a>, Judge Ware said that were Judge Walker required to recuse himself under federal statutes, all minority judges would have to recuse themselves from any case involving civil rights, something he said Congress could not have intended in writing the recusal statute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither of these issues go to the central legal merits of the constitutionality of Prop. 8. That is especially true in the video tapes question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the oral arguments regarding Judge Walker’s obligation to recuse himself because of his status as a gay man in a same sex relationship may reveal more about where the panel is heading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How forcefully will the panel of judges suggest that gay and lesbian rights are of interest to all American judges who care about a society with equality under the law, not just LGBT judges? Will they draw parallels with civil rights cases and minority judges, an indication they see gay rights on par with issues like interracial marriage, segregation and racial discrimination?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may shed some light on where the panel is ultimately heading on the issue that is central to the appeal: Whether to uphold Judge Walker’s decision striking down Prop. 8. That decision will likely come next year, but not before the panel also rules on whether Prop. 8 proponents have legal standing to file the appeal in the first case.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here you can watch the \u003ca href=\"http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Vaugh/start/1987/stop/2213\">video clip of the trial\u003c/a>, used by Walker in a legal seminar, which prompted the battle over releasing the video.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Supporters of Prop. 8 argue for that reason Judge Vaughn Walker should have disclosed he was in a long term relationship with another man — and whether he ever intended to marry him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Cooper, an attorney for Protect Marriage dot com, told an Appeals Court panel Thursday that a reasonable person could conclude that Judge Walker had a conflict of interest. But several judges questioned that notion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A married judge would never be able to hear a divorce?” asked Judge Michael Hawkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing for opponents of Prop. 8, attorney David Boies said the disclosure standard promoted by the other side would require any minority judge to reveal whether he or she might take advantage of a pro-civil rights ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the issue of disclosure, the panel took up another question — whether the Prop. 8 trial tapes be unsealed and made public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these issues will likely be settled before this same panel rules on the fundamental question — whether Prop. 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 5:00 p.m.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.
