Police in Los Angeles said they arrested six people, mostly for failure to disperse, after about 80 protesters gathered in Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard and an unlawful assembly was declared. New York police said at least a dozen people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges during a rally in Times Square.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, about 50 demonstrators congregated in front of City Hall Sunday night, the Bay Area News Group reported.

He said after the initial march, masked protesters walked down both sides of the streets smashing every window on several blocks. One of the businesses hit was Dogwood bar. \"This isn’t productive,\" said the bar's manager, Issa Eismont. \"It’s not productive at all. It hurts Oakland. It makes us look bad. It gives us a bad reputation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emslie said there was no visible police presence for most of the protest, and that during the window smashing, police were out of sight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan addressed the reaction to the verdict. From Quan's statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Trayvon's tragic death and the subsequent trial have raised powerful, incredibly difficult issues that affect us all. Racial profiling in particular is an ongoing problem in our society and it is absolutely unacceptable, here in Oakland and across the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is a community that grapples with many of these issues. I know many of us are living with hard emotions as we continue working toward solutions in the wake of the verdict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small group of people gathered in downtown Oakland last night. Sadly, some of them dishonored the memory of Trayvon by engaging in violent activities that hurt our growing economy and endangered people. This is unacceptable as well. We will not tolerate violence in our city.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, protesters expressed anger, sadness and resignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m not surprised with the acquittal,\" Lisa Evans told Emslie. \"I’m extremely disappointed and I’m very frustrated and I’m very angry, but I don’t think I’m particularly surprised, which is sad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This country's in a state of emergency right now,\" said Preston Walker. \"We’re really mourning Trayvon now. Because it’s like he died last year, but it’s like today is the day of his homecoming. His funeral is today, with that verdict.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This verdict just represents what’s been going on in this country for years, for hundreds of years,\" said Sarai Bordeaux. \"Case after case after case after case. Emett Till, Oscar Grant, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X. All of our black men .... Of course it sends a message that this country does not care what happens to black and brown people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from Mubarak Ahmad: \"They don't have to look way in Florida.

I wasn’t going to come after I found out about George Zimmerman getting acquitted. It broke me up. That’s why I think this film means so much, because it keeps happening again and again.

It’s the only way that things are going to take the necessary steps to move in the right direction so things can get better because I don’t think it’s ever gonna stop, but something’s gotta f*****g change.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Finally, this incredible item out of Hayward on Saturday. Lester Chambers of the legendary Chambers Brothers was attacked on stage after dedicating a song to Trayvon Martin.

The death triggered riots in Oakland, and raised serious questions about relationship between citizens and the police.

We focused on the human relationships. Everybody knows what it's like to have a mom, everybody knows how it is to have somebody they love, a lot of people know what it's like to have a daughter and a lot people know what it's like to be 22 years old.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In advance of the film opening tonight, KQED reporter Stephanie Martin spoke with two young Oakland residents on Thursday about the movie and their hopes for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: The film \"Fruitvale Station\" opens in theaters nationwide tomorrow and nowhere will it hit closer to home than East Oakland. It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you. What are you hoping this movie shows?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: I would hope and think they would go into more of the case, the facts about the case. It’s similar to the Trayvon Martin case, at this point it’s become much bigger than Oscar Grant. It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power.

It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you. What are you hoping this movie shows?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: I would hope and think they would go into more of the case, the facts about the case. It’s similar to the Trayvon Martin case, at this point it’s become much bigger than Oscar Grant. It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power. But, I’m the type of person, I can watch ‘Lion King’ and get something from it. I think this is an opportunity. We can pivot things, definitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Brandon, Demetrius, thank you so much. Johannes Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the case.

Then there are the great restaurants that must be tried, the health care necessities that must be paid, child care, transportation -- and that all adds up. But just how much does it really cost for families to live in various parts of the Bay Area?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.epi.org/about/\">Economic Policy Institute\u003c/a> (EPI), a nonprofit nonpartisan think tank in Washington, DC, has put together a \u003ca href=\"http://www.epi.org/resources/budget/\">budget calculator\u003c/a> to help estimate the income families need to live modestly, but comfortably, in various places. The calculator consists of seven individual components: rent, food, child care, transportation, health care, other items of necessity and taxes. EPI \u003ca href=\"http://www.epi.org/publication/wp297-2013-family-budget-calculator-technical-documentation/\">explains the methodology\u003c/a> behind each measure. For example, housing data is based on HUD's fair market rent (FMR) determination, which is in turn based on five-year American Communities Survey data. The FMR is at the 40th percentile of rent cost, meaning that 40 percent of apartments are rented for less and 60 percent for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"EPI’s family budgets offer a higher degree of geographic customization and provide a more accurate measure of economic security,\" the budget calculator website says. \"In all cases, they show families need more than twice the amount of the federal poverty line to get by.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Costs for a single-parent family with two children don't differ much - in San Francisco, that parent needs $80,703 a year.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, there's been a lot of discussion about how \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201106210900\">feasible it is for families\u003c/a> to afford this region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the calculator, it costs $84,133 for a family of four to live in San Francisco comfortably. The numbers are similar, but slightly lower, for San Jose-Sunnyvale at $79,261 and the Oakland-Fremont area at $75,064. The main difference comes from the cost of monthly rent, although there are slight differences in health and child-care costs as well. In San Francisco, about 62 percent of the population rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, the costs for a single-parent family with two children don't differ much from a two-parent household. A single parent in San Francisco needs an annual income of $80,703 to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. In San Jose that number is $75,618 and in Oakland it's $70, 978.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco residents often complain that it's just as expensive to live here as New York or Boston. Are they right? Well, for a family of four, New York is definitely more expensive than San Francisco, coming in at $93,502 annually. Chicago is much cheaper, only requiring $69,028 per year. And Boston is right around the same price as San Francisco, at $85,641.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"http://www.familiesusa.org/resources/tools-for-advocates/guides/federal-poverty-guidelines.html\">Federal Poverty Guidelines \u003c/a>say a family of four is \"officially\" poor if it brings in less than $23,550 per year.

The FMR is at the 40th percentile of rent cost, meaning that 40 percent of apartments are rented for less and 60 percent for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"EPI’s family budgets offer a higher degree of geographic customization and provide a more accurate measure of economic security,\" the budget calculator website says. \"In all cases, they show families need more than twice the amount of the federal poverty line to get by.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Costs for a single-parent family with two children don't differ much - in San Francisco, that parent needs $80,703 a year.\"\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, there's been a lot of discussion about how \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201106210900\">feasible it is for families\u003c/a> to afford this region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the calculator, it costs $84,133 for a family of four to live in San Francisco comfortably. The numbers are similar, but slightly lower, for San Jose-Sunnyvale at $79,261 and the Oakland-Fremont area at $75,064. The main difference comes from the cost of monthly rent, although there are slight differences in health and child-care costs as well. In San Francisco, about 62 percent of the population rents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yet operationally, the AIMS organization was found to have misappropriated taxpayers’ money for the founder’s personal gain, among other improprieties. The findings of alleged misappropriation and conflict-of-interest business transactions, found in an audit last winter, caused the \u003ca href=\"http://ousdk12.ca.org\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Unified School District\u003c/a> to vote to revoke the AIMS charter in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AIMS officials appealed the decision to the county and also asked a Superior Court judge for an injunction against the district’s closure of the schools. Tuesday night, the county Board of Education agreed with the OUSD determination that the financial misdeeds were too egregious, and that revocation of the charter should proceed. \u003c!--more-->Its vote seemed to stem from an audit the board commissioned from the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team. “FCMAT has found a number of instances of operational fraud, conflict of interest, and fiscal mismanagement serious enough to warrant immediate action by the County Superintendent,” the county Board of Education staff said in an \u003ca title=\"agency report\" href=\"http://http://www.acoe.org/acoe/Home/AboutACOE/News/22565\">agency report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-95476\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/oaklandlocallogo.jpg\" alt=\"oaklandlocallogo\" width=\"177\" height=\"99\">However, the AIMS organization still has a favorable Superior Court to hope for. It won a temporary injunction against the closure from Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio M. Grillo a few weeks ago. A hearing before Grillo on a request for a permanent injunction is scheduled for July 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, AIMS director, Nabeeha Shakir, said enrollment has fallen to about 600 students from 1,200 a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve done what they asked for,” Shakir said. “On May 18, we hand-delivered 16 binders, documentation to prove that there was no misallocation of funds.” She said she believes the county board acted on the basis of politics rather than evidence. She said the main consideration for a charter application is supposed to be academic performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think an an API score of close to perfect for almost 10 years far outweighs any allocation-of-funds issue.” The American Indian Model School 1 had an API of 981 this year, while its Charter School 2 had a score of 974.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not helping AIMS’ cause was the fact that the California Charter Schools Association president sided with OUSD in a letter sent to the county. “While AIMS has a tremendous track record of academic success, Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) and ACOE are acting appropriately in revoking the schools’ charters. In this situation, academic performance is not enough to overlook the mismanagement of public funds and the unwillingness of the AIMS board to satisfactorily address the legitimate concerns raised by OUSD,” wrote the association president, Jed Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Yet operationally, the AIMS organization was found to have misappropriated taxpayers’ money for the founder’s personal gain, among other improprieties. The findings of alleged misappropriation and conflict-of-interest business transactions, found in an audit last winter, caused the \u003ca href=\"http://ousdk12.ca.org\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Unified School District\u003c/a> to vote to revoke the AIMS charter in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AIMS officials appealed the decision to the county and also asked a Superior Court judge for an injunction against the district’s closure of the schools. Tuesday night, the county Board of Education agreed with the OUSD determination that the financial misdeeds were too egregious, and that revocation of the charter should proceed. \u003c!--more-->Its vote seemed to stem from an audit the board commissioned from the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team. “FCMAT has found a number of instances of operational fraud, conflict of interest, and fiscal mismanagement serious enough to warrant immediate action by the County Superintendent,” the county Board of Education staff said in an \u003ca title=\"agency report\" href=\"http://http://www.acoe.org/acoe/Home/AboutACOE/News/22565\">agency report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-95476\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/oaklandlocallogo.jpg\" alt=\"oaklandlocallogo\" width=\"177\" height=\"99\">However, the AIMS organization still has a favorable Superior Court to hope for. It won a temporary injunction against the closure from Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio M. Grillo a few weeks ago. A hearing before Grillo on a request for a permanent injunction is scheduled for July 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, AIMS director, Nabeeha Shakir, said enrollment has fallen to about 600 students from 1,200 a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve done what they asked for,” Shakir said. “On May 18, we hand-delivered 16 binders, documentation to prove that there was no misallocation of funds.” She said she believes the county board acted on the basis of politics rather than evidence. She said the main consideration for a charter application is supposed to be academic performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think an an API score of close to perfect for almost 10 years far outweighs any allocation-of-funds issue.” The American Indian Model School 1 had an API of 981 this year, while its Charter School 2 had a score of 974.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not helping AIMS’ cause was the fact that the California Charter Schools Association president sided with OUSD in a letter sent to the county. “While AIMS has a tremendous track record of academic success, Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) and ACOE are acting appropriately in revoking the schools’ charters. In this situation, academic performance is not enough to overlook the mismanagement of public funds and the unwillingness of the AIMS board to satisfactorily address the legitimate concerns raised by OUSD,” wrote the association president, Jed Wallace.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That department \"would not move forward on a host of projects until they obtained approval from a specific council member,\" the report said. \"This approval ranged from the replacement of trash cans and benches, to making decisions about the exterior design and façade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grand jury recommended that the City Council provide the city's Public Ethics Commission with sufficient power and funding to enforce the city's ethics-related ordinances and that city elected officials receive ethics training every two years, with proof of compliance made available to the public through the city's website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also said, \"No member of the city council should conduct any city business outside of the realm of their council powers as designated in the city charter and in the municipal code.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City spokeswoman Karen Boyd said Mayor Jean Quan and City Administrator Deanna Santana agree with the grand jury that, \"The public must be able to trust that the City of Oakland's day-to-day operations - such as contracting, hiring and management of City staff - are shielded from inappropriate political influence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd said Quan and Santana also agree that the Public Ethics Commission must have adequate staffing and additional authority and their proposed budget calls for increased staffing for the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd also said Santana has stressed good governance and ethics since she assumed her position in August 2010, at which point work on the teen center was already under way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd said the goal of Quan and Santana is to \"continue to provide quality service to the community while maintaining appropriate interactions between city council members and staff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Quan and Santana are encouraged by an \"ethical climate survey\" conducted by Ruby, which found that between 2010 and 2011 they had \"moved the dial towards greater accountability and improved governance.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

That department \"would not move forward on a host of projects until they obtained approval from a specific council member,\" the report said. \"This approval ranged from the replacement of trash cans and benches, to making decisions about the exterior design and façade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grand jury recommended that the City Council provide the city's Public Ethics Commission with sufficient power and funding to enforce the city's ethics-related ordinances and that city elected officials receive ethics training every two years, with proof of compliance made available to the public through the city's website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel also said, \"No member of the city council should conduct any city business outside of the realm of their council powers as designated in the city charter and in the municipal code.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City spokeswoman Karen Boyd said Mayor Jean Quan and City Administrator Deanna Santana agree with the grand jury that, \"The public must be able to trust that the City of Oakland's day-to-day operations - such as contracting, hiring and management of City staff - are shielded from inappropriate political influence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd said Quan and Santana also agree that the Public Ethics Commission must have adequate staffing and additional authority and their proposed budget calls for increased staffing for the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd also said Santana has stressed good governance and ethics since she assumed her position in August 2010, at which point work on the teen center was already under way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boyd said the goal of Quan and Santana is to \"continue to provide quality service to the community while maintaining appropriate interactions between city council members and staff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Quan and Santana are encouraged by an \"ethical climate survey\" conducted by Ruby, which found that between 2010 and 2011 they had \"moved the dial towards greater accountability and improved governance.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
