More than 50 made the trip to Fresno, including Levingston.

From the Oakland Tribune:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Authorities said 47 people were arrested as protesters threw rocks, bottles and paint at police and buildings. Of the 47 arrests, 13 were made on Interstate 580, when protesters climbed on the freeway, authorities said. The other arrests were made in the area of 8th Street and Broadway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those arrested were taken by sheriff's van to Santa Rita Jail. Most were cited for a variety of crimes, including assaulting officers, burglary, failure to disperse, resisting arrest, vandalism, and public intoxication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities have not yet released names or ages of those arrested, but said 16 were Oakland residents. The hometowns for the rest included San Leandro, Berkeley, El Sobrante, Chico, Santa Rosa, Chicago and Silver Springs, Maryland. Some arrestees were from Oregon, but hometowns were not given.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Protests related to the Ferguson case -- in which a county grand jury decided not to indict a police officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown during an altercation last August -- continued Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Jose, about 30 people gathered outside City Hall at noontime chanting \"no justice, no peace.\" In Oakland, activists planned to gather at police headquarters at 5 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 7 a.m. Tuesday: \u003c/strong> The focus of last night's protest moved late Monday from the Grand-Lake district, where protesters shut down Interstate 580 for about two hours, back to downtown Oakland. There, the gathering took a more destructive turn, with several businesses along lower Broadway vandalized. A Starbucks, Metro PCS store and Smart and Final outlets had their windows smashed and were looted. Windows were also smashed at branches of Wells Fargo and Chase banks. Police arrested more than 40 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Mayor Jean Quan's statement summarizing the action and the police response:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For several hours the protest in Oakland Monday night was peaceful. It’s unfortunate that some demonstrators then decided to close down the freeway, placing themselves, our officers and many uninvolved motorists at great risk. A smaller group of people then caused vandalism and broke into businesses around a four-block area downtown, breaking windows, painting graffiti and setting garbage cans on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This property destruction and violence was completely unacceptable. However, thanks to the remarkable dedication and professionalism of our police, few people were injured and nobody was seriously hurt. Oakland Police Department officers showed tremendous restraint in the face of hundreds of demonstrators throwing bottles and rocks at them and provoking them for hours. OPD’s tactics prevented people from being hurt and helped us arrest more than 40 of the vandals. We will work diligently today and in the coming weeks to ensure that we keep our highway entrances safer and prevent further harm to people and property.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>At one point during the late-night disturbance on Broadway, members of the large contingent of police who responded to the protest fired tear gas, flash-bang grenades and nonlethal projectiles at the crowd. Here's a tweet from San Francisco Chronicle photographer Carlos Avila Gonzalez, who said he was hit by one of the projectiles:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CAGisMe/status/537165509058240512\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police say they did not fire the projectiles and are investigating who among the other departments that were on the street last night is responsible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Previous update and summary (midnight Monday):\u003c/strong> More than 1,000 people demonstrated in Oakland after a grand jury declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson for killing teenager Michael Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a good turnout and show of solidarity for Michael Brown. But as usual, you have some people who aren't out here for Michael Brown – they're out here [for] destruction, and they've done some stuff along the way that wasn't necessary,\" said Desley Brooks, Oakland City Council member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters closed Interstate 580 for several hours before returning to downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been a part of a lot of protests, and taking over a highway is pretty remarkable – a bit scary, but remarkable nonetheless,\" said West Oakland resident Bre Arder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police made several arrests throughout the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News will begin updates again Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#oaklandprotest\">\u003cem>View continuing social media coverage of the Oakland Ferguson protest\u003c/em>.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Police have blocked about 400 protesters on Broadway, between Seventh and Eighth, reports KQED's Andrew Stelzer.

Police arrested more than 40 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's Mayor Jean Quan's statement summarizing the action and the police response:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For several hours the protest in Oakland Monday night was peaceful. It’s unfortunate that some demonstrators then decided to close down the freeway, placing themselves, our officers and many uninvolved motorists at great risk. A smaller group of people then caused vandalism and broke into businesses around a four-block area downtown, breaking windows, painting graffiti and setting garbage cans on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This property destruction and violence was completely unacceptable. However, thanks to the remarkable dedication and professionalism of our police, few people were injured and nobody was seriously hurt. Oakland Police Department officers showed tremendous restraint in the face of hundreds of demonstrators throwing bottles and rocks at them and provoking them for hours. OPD’s tactics prevented people from being hurt and helped us arrest more than 40 of the vandals. We will work diligently today and in the coming weeks to ensure that we keep our highway entrances safer and prevent further harm to people and property.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>At one point during the late-night disturbance on Broadway, members of the large contingent of police who responded to the protest fired tear gas, flash-bang grenades and nonlethal projectiles at the crowd. Here's a tweet from San Francisco Chronicle photographer Carlos Avila Gonzalez, who said he was hit by one of the projectiles:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The City Council approved this iteration of the plan in 2011, although voters voted against giving parcel tax revenue to the zoo the following year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City planning staff has recommended approval of the easement, noting that it implements the council's prior decisions and \"maintains the appropriate balance between protection of sensitive natural resources and public use of park land.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The zoo argues that the plan has been reviewed exhaustively by federal, state, regional and local agencies, \"all of which concluded that the project strikes the right balance in Knowland Park between conservation and recreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveknowland.org/\" target=\"_blank\">coalition of environmental groups and neighbors\u003c/a>, including the Sierra Club and the California Native Plant Society, opposes the plan.

To bulldoze wildlife habitat for an exhibit about conservation is just crazy, it makes no sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the most biologically rich part of the park where they've insisted they have to build their three-story, 34,000-square-foot visitors' center, with a restaurant, reached by an aerial gondola because it's so far from the existing zoo,\" says Malone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's staff report on the easement says the zoo studied other locations for the new exhibit, but all had serious problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday will be the first reading of the ordinance, and the City Council's final vote on the easement is scheduled for Dec. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more on this story, check out Sam Levin's \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/zoo-gone-wild/Content?oid=4059113&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\">deep dive in the East Bay Express from September\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201210220930\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum from 2012\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The facility will also include outdoor exhibits for native wildlife, a campground and an aerial gondola to carry visitors from zoo parking lots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the council is voting on Tuesday is \u003ca href=\"https://oakland.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1988714&GUID=B85244D3-3A11-4591-9652-861D746C53AB&Options=&Search=\" target=\"_blank\">a 53-acre conservation easement\u003c/a> that would allow construction in an area that's part of the habitat of the threatened \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/espp/factsheets/alameda-whipsnake.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Alameda whipsnake\u003c/a>, while protecting another part of the snake's habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're thinking you've heard about this zoo expansion plan before. you're right: Some version of it has been kicking around since 1996. The City Council approved this iteration of the plan in 2011, although voters voted against giving parcel tax revenue to the zoo the following year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City planning staff has recommended approval of the easement, noting that it implements the council's prior decisions and \"maintains the appropriate balance between protection of sensitive natural resources and public use of park land.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The zoo argues that the plan has been reviewed exhaustively by federal, state, regional and local agencies, \"all of which concluded that the project strikes the right balance in Knowland Park between conservation and recreation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveknowland.org/\" target=\"_blank\">coalition of environmental groups and neighbors\u003c/a>, including the Sierra Club and the California Native Plant Society, opposes the plan. The Save Knowland Park Coalition \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveknowland.org/2014/10/18/new-poll-shows-voter-opposition-to-oakland-zoo-expansion-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">points to a poll it commissioned\u003c/a> that shows 75 percent of respondents want the zoo to limit or eliminate expansion into undeveloped parkland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ruth Malone, of the Friends of Knowland Park, says the zoo has chosen the wrong site for the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really is about the location, and it's always been about the location,\" Malone says. \"I think nobody objects to a responsible expansion plan, something closer to the existing zoo, something that doesn't destroy habitat. To bulldoze wildlife habitat for an exhibit about conservation is just crazy, it makes no sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the most biologically rich part of the park where they've insisted they have to build their three-story, 34,000-square-foot visitors' center, with a restaurant, reached by an aerial gondola because it's so far from the existing zoo,\" says Malone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city's staff report on the easement says the zoo studied other locations for the new exhibit, but all had serious problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday will be the first reading of the ordinance, and the City Council's final vote on the easement is scheduled for Dec. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more on this story, check out Sam Levin's \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/zoo-gone-wild/Content?oid=4059113&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\">deep dive in the East Bay Express from September\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201210220930\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum from 2012\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And her campaign manager Jason Overman, was by no means ready to concede this morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not going to speculate an outcome that we don’t know yet,” said Overman. “It would be premature for any candidate to declare anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10347101\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10347101 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/11/libby-1440x1080.jpeg\" alt=\"Libby Schaaf thanked supporters as she maintains her lead in a field of 15.
