Liu's written response to a question about \"bridging the digital divide\" on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.oakmayor2014.com/candidates/peter-y-liu/#toggle-id-1\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Mayor 2014 site\u003c/a> got the biggest yuks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of a rambling answer in which he said he wants to give condoms to kids in poor flatland areas who don't have access to \"fast ass internet\", Liu said, \"The lesson here is this: when your son says 'Mommy, Daddy, I need internet access for homework.' This really translates to: 'I am gonna masturbate online while my parents at work yo.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kimmel also highlighted part of \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/JbgvTdV5PhQ\" target=\"_blank\">a San Francisco Chronicle video interview\u003c/a> with Liu, in which he explained why he was running this way: \"God has specifically asked me to bring world peace\" through a plan he's concocted (and \u003ca href=\"http://kalw.org/post/oakland-mayoral-race-14-candidate-peter-yuan-liu\" target=\"_blank\">described in detail to KALW's Ben Trefny\u003c/a>) to arm \"good men\" in Oakland, clean up the streets and bring prosperity to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah -- pretty funny. Personally, I found his take on what Oakland should do about its sports teams even more ... bracing . He says in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What possibly is there a \"public interest\" for grown men to play ball merely to distract the populace from the real problems of society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are people starving on the streets. Kids murdered on the sidewalks. People on welfare wearing the latest Nike Air Jordon paying high priced baseball, basketball and football tickets.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Liu said at a media event in Oakland on Tuesday -- a session convened to highlight lack of media attention to most of the 15 candidates in the mayor's race -- that his appearance on the Kimmel show had prompted a flood of fan mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With only $400 I have spent on the campaign, I am rolling,\" Liu told reporters. \"None of [the other candidates] have gotten the publicity I have. I am on fire on Twitter and throughout the Internet. My name is plastered everywhere, OK?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu also showed he has a penchant for slinging some boilerplate political language along with his odd ideas: \"With $400 we are beating the special interest money and, let's say, $400,000,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan continues to hold the lead in the race for Oakland mayor, and fellow Councilwoman Libby Schaaf has moved into second place, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/New-poll-shows-Rebecca-Kaplan-with-commanding-5825235.php\">latest poll\u003c/a> from the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same poll released Wednesday, puts incumbent Mayor Jean Quan in third place despite respondents saying the city's on the right track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People realize that it's more peaceful and they think this city's doing well, they just don't associate it with me, unfortunately,\" Quan said at a policy roundtable Wednesday night. \"If you blame me for everything that's gone wrong in the last 10 years, you have to give me some credit for the things that are going very right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourteen candidates are vying to unseat Quan, including Port Commissioner Bryan Parker, City Auditor Courtney Ruby, attorney (and former Quan ally) Dan Siegel and San Francisco State Professor Joe Tuman. Oakland voters will use ranked-choice voting to elect the mayor, as well as the auditor, council members and school board members. But confusion or even suspicion of the system remains. KQED's Mina Kim spoke with reporter Cy Musiker, who is covering the Oakland mayoral race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/172493398\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim:\u003c/strong> So how have ranked choice elections played out since the system first took effect in San Francisco in 2004?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cy Musiker:\u003c/strong> There's been 84 elections in the Bay Area since the system first took effect. And here’s a surprising stat: Corey Cook of the University of San Francisco found that in almost two-thirds of those elections, one candidate got more than 50 percent of the first-choice votes without any fussing with second- and third-place votes; in other words, without any instant runoff needed. And when election officials had to tabulate the second and third choices, most of the time, the candidate in first place at the start increased his or her lead in each round of counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cook, a candidate has surged from behind in just five ranked-choice elections. So that all suggests that the results in ranked-choice voting aren’t usually very controversial at all, and the outcomes aren’t radically different from an election in which voters mark just one candidate on their ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim:\u003c/strong> In Oakland in 2010, Jean Quan won the mayoral race by coming from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Musiker:\u003c/strong> Quan was very smart about ranked choice voting, building alliances with other candidates against the frontrunner that year, former state Senator Don Perata. That reveals one of the few real problems with ranked choice -- whether a candidate’s victory is viewed as legitimate when he or she comes from behind to win. One suggested improvement is continuing the count until all votes are exhausted, as opposed to stopping after one candidate hits 50 percent plus one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim:\u003c/strong> How is ranked choice affecting the candidates' campaigns this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Musiker: \u003c/strong>One of the selling points for ranked choice is that it reduces highly partisan, negative campaigns. That seems to be true. Councilwoman Libby Schaaf's campaign manager, Peggy Moore, said ranked choice means every rival is “a friend.\" If she’s going door to door in a neighborhood and sees a rival’s lawn sign in front of someone’s home, Moore says there’s still an opportunity to knock on that door and ask residents to consider her candidate for vote two or three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Adam Grossberg contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Oakland voters will use ranked-choice voting to elect the mayor, as well as the auditor, council members and school board members. But confusion or even suspicion of the system remains.

And here’s a surprising stat: Corey Cook of the University of San Francisco found that in almost two-thirds of those elections, one candidate got more than 50 percent of the first-choice votes without any fussing with second- and third-place votes; in other words, without any instant runoff needed. And when election officials had to tabulate the second and third choices, most of the time, the candidate in first place at the start increased his or her lead in each round of counting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cook, a candidate has surged from behind in just five ranked-choice elections. So that all suggests that the results in ranked-choice voting aren’t usually very controversial at all, and the outcomes aren’t radically different from an election in which voters mark just one candidate on their ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim:\u003c/strong> In Oakland in 2010, Jean Quan won the mayoral race by coming from behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Musiker:\u003c/strong> Quan was very smart about ranked choice voting, building alliances with other candidates against the frontrunner that year, former state Senator Don Perata. That reveals one of the few real problems with ranked choice -- whether a candidate’s victory is viewed as legitimate when he or she comes from behind to win. One suggested improvement is continuing the count until all votes are exhausted, as opposed to stopping after one candidate hits 50 percent plus one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim:\u003c/strong> How is ranked choice affecting the candidates' campaigns this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Musiker: \u003c/strong>One of the selling points for ranked choice is that it reduces highly partisan, negative campaigns. That seems to be true. Councilwoman Libby Schaaf's campaign manager, Peggy Moore, said ranked choice means every rival is “a friend.\" If she’s going door to door in a neighborhood and sees a rival’s lawn sign in front of someone’s home, Moore says there’s still an opportunity to knock on that door and ask residents to consider her candidate for vote two or three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Adam Grossberg contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Brown is scheduled to make an appearance with Councilmember Libby Schaaf early Monday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though there's been no official word, the assumption is that the ex-AG/mayor/governor will endorse Schaaf. KQED's Cy Musiker spoke to Schaaf campaign manager Peggy Moore early Monday, and she said she couldn't discuss the purpose of Brown's appearance. Could she confirm that the governor is going to endorse Schaaf -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/my-town/ci_26672421/jerry-brown-endorse-schaaf-oakland-mayors-race\" target=\"_blank\">as the Oakland Tribune is reporting without attribution\u003c/a>? \"I can't do that,\" she told Musiker. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trib notes that Schaaf, whom \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_26560701/oakland-rebecca-kaplan-beats-jean-quan-latest-mayor\" target=\"_blank\">recent polls have shown trailing\u003c/a> Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and incumbent mayor Jean Quan, has close ties to Brown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>She served two years as a special assistant to Brown during his second term as Oakland mayor. And several people involved in her campaign have close ties to the governor, most notably Oakland developer John Protopappas, who serves as Schaaf's finance chairman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's endorsement comes on the first day of early voting in Oakland and several weeks after two polls showed Kaplan handily defeating Quan with Schaaf finishing in third or fourth place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf has fared well when it comes to raising money. As of June, she had raised $351,166, which far outpaced the field. Schaaf's campaign on Monday reported having raised $404,547 as of the end of last month. Brown remains very popular in Oakland, but residents who look back fondly on his eight years as mayor haven't been quick to take his advice as to who should hold the office. In 2006, Brown endorsed Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who lost to Ron Dellums. Four years later, he endorsed Don Perata, who lost to Quan.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Brown is scheduled to make an appearance with Councilmember Libby Schaaf early Monday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though there's been no official word, the assumption is that the ex-AG/mayor/governor will endorse Schaaf. KQED's Cy Musiker spoke to Schaaf campaign manager Peggy Moore early Monday, and she said she couldn't discuss the purpose of Brown's appearance. Could she confirm that the governor is going to endorse Schaaf -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/my-town/ci_26672421/jerry-brown-endorse-schaaf-oakland-mayors-race\" target=\"_blank\">as the Oakland Tribune is reporting without attribution\u003c/a>? \"I can't do that,\" she told Musiker. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trib notes that Schaaf, whom \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_26560701/oakland-rebecca-kaplan-beats-jean-quan-latest-mayor\" target=\"_blank\">recent polls have shown trailing\u003c/a> Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan and incumbent mayor Jean Quan, has close ties to Brown:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>She served two years as a special assistant to Brown during his second term as Oakland mayor. And several people involved in her campaign have close ties to the governor, most notably Oakland developer John Protopappas, who serves as Schaaf's finance chairman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown's endorsement comes on the first day of early voting in Oakland and several weeks after two polls showed Kaplan handily defeating Quan with Schaaf finishing in third or fourth place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf has fared well when it comes to raising money. As of June, she had raised $351,166, which far outpaced the field. Schaaf's campaign on Monday reported having raised $404,547 as of the end of last month. Brown remains very popular in Oakland, but residents who look back fondly on his eight years as mayor haven't been quick to take his advice as to who should hold the office. In 2006, Brown endorsed Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who lost to Ron Dellums. Four years later, he endorsed Don Perata, who lost to Quan.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She’s one of a growing group of women trying to make their name in this male-dominated street-dance culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turfin is the latest in a long line of street-dance styles that borrow and evolve from each other. Many people have heard of popping and locking, popularized during the 1980s breakdancing craze.

I don’t remember it 10 years ago at all,” Hill says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real estate professionals don’t know where the glut of cash is coming from, but they agree that there is no single source.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During the downturn, all cash was relegated to investors and flippers,” Hill says. Now, she says, “I’ve seen everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people are taking money from their 401(k)s or borrowing from family members. Hill notes that “it seems like the lion’s share of the all-cash offers are at the high end of the market,” which she defines as sales over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'There are really some traumatized buyers out there.'\u003cbr>\n-- Martha Hill, Pacific Union realtor\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vicjoshi.com/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Viral Joshi\u003c/a>, a Loan Consultant and Branch Manager for C2 Financial Corporation, offers a possible explanation: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fannie_Mae\" target=\"_blank\">Fannie Mae\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mac\" target=\"_blank\">Freddie Mac\u003c/a> won’t buy loans larger than $625,000. During the financial downturn, banks stopped offering larger loans, called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_mortgage\" target=\"_blank\">jumbo mortgages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he says institutional lenders are starting to write bigger loans at competitive rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he says, “Everyone is \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jump+bid\" target=\"_blank\">jump bidding\u003c/a> right now.” He adds, “It squeezes out a lot of first-time home buyers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The standard 20 percent down payment on homes priced between $400,000 and $700,00 means that buyers often need $100,000 or more in cash just to make an offer. Joshi notes, “Those people who are getting into contracts have to be fairly aggressive about what they’re bidding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi sees the current competitive market as part of a predictable real estate cycle. “As property values fell, sellers were reluctant to put their houses on the market,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That creates a shortage of inventory. As interest rates have ticked up, people are jumping into the housing market hoping to get in while they can still get a low rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The consumers act as one. They’re kind of like lemmings,” he adds. “They all jump in at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sellers, on the other hand, are sitting tight, trying to hold out for the highest possible price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen at least 50 to 70 percent appreciation” on homes in Oakland appraised for refinance recently, Joshi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we’re at these inflated prices and interest rates go up, buyer’s will flee the market,” he says. “I’ve advised people not to buy now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He predicts that, as home prices start to fall, sellers will flood the market, further reducing prices, and it will once again become a buyers market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi has worked with buyers who have spent over a year bidding unsuccessfully on houses in Oakland. Some give up trying and leave the market.

Now, she says, “I’ve seen everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people are taking money from their 401(k)s or borrowing from family members. Hill notes that “it seems like the lion’s share of the all-cash offers are at the high end of the market,” which she defines as sales over $1 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'There are really some traumatized buyers out there.'\u003cbr>\n-- Martha Hill, Pacific Union realtor\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vicjoshi.com/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Viral Joshi\u003c/a>, a Loan Consultant and Branch Manager for C2 Financial Corporation, offers a possible explanation: \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fannie_Mae\" target=\"_blank\">Fannie Mae\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mac\" target=\"_blank\">Freddie Mac\u003c/a> won’t buy loans larger than $625,000. During the financial downturn, banks stopped offering larger loans, called \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_mortgage\" target=\"_blank\">jumbo mortgages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now he says institutional lenders are starting to write bigger loans at competitive rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, he says, “Everyone is \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jump+bid\" target=\"_blank\">jump bidding\u003c/a> right now.” He adds, “It squeezes out a lot of first-time home buyers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The standard 20 percent down payment on homes priced between $400,000 and $700,00 means that buyers often need $100,000 or more in cash just to make an offer. Joshi notes, “Those people who are getting into contracts have to be fairly aggressive about what they’re bidding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi sees the current competitive market as part of a predictable real estate cycle. “As property values fell, sellers were reluctant to put their houses on the market,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That creates a shortage of inventory. As interest rates have ticked up, people are jumping into the housing market hoping to get in while they can still get a low rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The consumers act as one. They’re kind of like lemmings,” he adds. “They all jump in at the same time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sellers, on the other hand, are sitting tight, trying to hold out for the highest possible price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen at least 50 to 70 percent appreciation” on homes in Oakland appraised for refinance recently, Joshi says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we’re at these inflated prices and interest rates go up, buyer’s will flee the market,” he says. “I’ve advised people not to buy now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He predicts that, as home prices start to fall, sellers will flood the market, further reducing prices, and it will once again become a buyers market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi has worked with buyers who have spent over a year bidding unsuccessfully on houses in Oakland. Some give up trying and leave the market. Hill agrees that house shopping in Oakland can be discouraging right now, noting that “there are really some traumatized buyers out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve spoken to agents who have buyers who have written four offers and gotten clobbered,” Hill says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buyers become reluctant to write any more offers.

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.
