"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.",

Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OAKLAND LOCAL'S BARBARA GRADY\u003c/strong> Last night, as the City Council was getting ready to meet, a large number of people showed up. Some had marched from another place. Many were wearing tee shirts that said \"Justice for Alan Blueford.\" And there were supporters of the family who have been asking for information on his death and the circumstances that led to the police shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting started and most people were not allowed in the room. As soon as most of the seats were full on the ground floor, City Hall employees closed the doors and there was a lot of commotion and people upset about not being allowed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council closed off the balcony and was not allowing people to sit up there. There appeared to still be a few seats on the ground floor but they were saying it was full and shutting out the remaining people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people who came to this meeting said beforehand that their intention was to keep talking during the public comment period until their demands for information were answered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public comment period started and a lot of people signed up to speak and asked for the same thing – information about the night of Alan Blueford's death. About 67 people signed up to speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speakers were kind of reasonable, but behind them was loud and boisterous chanting. So a speaker would be at the podium and behind them was a lot of 'no justice no peace.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Blueford's mother was the most moving. She said this is my baby, this is my son, he's not coming back. She wanted answers. It's hard to hear that. And she was upset that the council wasn't responding. The council isn't supposed to really answer during the public comment period. But she was saying this is my baby, he's gone, and you're just sitting there looking the other way not doing anything, because they were sitting there stone silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, Jane Brunner spoke and said ,\"Well what about speakers who were kept out of the room? Can we let them back in?\" Because part of what they were chanting was that people were closed out of a public meeting. She broke the ice of councilmembers finally speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting accelerated, more people speaking in louder voices and demanding language. It was like an hour and ten minutes into the meeting, and Larry Reid, the council president, suddenly stood up and in kind of a huff said okay, okay you can have my copy of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He walked over holding this inch-thick document and handed it to Alan Blueford's father, who was speaking at that time. People were clearly surprised by that. He accepted it and was kind of silent, the crowd kept chanting, not realizing what had happened. Then people realized, that in essence that was what they werea asking for. So people kind of filed out after that, but not quietly.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the meeting, Grady reported, Alan Blueford's father said he wasn't satisfied with the release of the report because so much of it was redacted. John Burris, the family's attorney, said it was a good first step, but that he and the family need to see a final report.\n\n\u003c/p>\n",

Can we let them back in?\" Because part of what they were chanting was that people were closed out of a public meeting. She broke the ice of councilmembers finally speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting accelerated, more people speaking in louder voices and demanding language. It was like an hour and ten minutes into the meeting, and Larry Reid, the council president, suddenly stood up and in kind of a huff said okay, okay you can have my copy of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He walked over holding this inch-thick document and handed it to Alan Blueford's father, who was speaking at that time. People were clearly surprised by that. He accepted it and was kind of silent, the crowd kept chanting, not realizing what had happened.

The system, developed with the help of scientists at UC Berkeley, can give a warning that ranges from a few seconds to up to a minute before a quake hits, depending on how large and how far away an earthquake is.

Or they could have signed up at St. Andrew, never actually attended the school, yet still remain listed on the roster sheet. Another possibility, Guillory said, is that some of the listed students attended St. Andrew in the 2010-11 school year instead of last year. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillory acknowledged that his clients \"need to organize their paperwork better,\" but blamed the district for lacking an established process for determining correct enrollment numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're in a verification process and it’s still ongoing,\" Guillory said. \"I’m working with my clients to see what’s going on here. They are cooperating with the district.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district's general counsel, Jacqueline Minor, said in a board meeting earlier this month that until the district is satisfied with St. Andrew's responses, \"we will not engage in a process that will result in further funds to the school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board member David Kakishiba said in an email that it \"appears that there's a likelihood St. Andrew is practicing fraudulent student enrollment accounting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillory objected to the district singling out St. Andrew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There needs to be some questions in the other schools too, not just the African American religious ones,\" he said. \"There needs to be a policy review here, so that these things don’t end up happening, whether it be by mistake or otherwise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guillory said the FBI has not attempted to contact his clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter last month to the district, Guillory answered allegations from parents and former students of child abuse and exploitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My clients do not condone child physical, mental or emotional abuse of any kind, in any environment, and unequivocally deny all allegations of child abuse or neglect,\" he wrote. \"Moreover, my clients' contend that any fundraising activity, on behalf of parents in need of tuition assistance, was conducted in compliance with child labor laws and standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While an Oakland Fire Department inspection determined that St. Andrew's classrooms can only fit 58 people, Guillory said the school also instructs students in the church sanctuary, which can fit 200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fire inspection in May found several code violations, including the lack of a fire alarm system. A follow-up inspection last month determined that St. Andrew had not fixed any of the problems, according to inspector Edward Gervasoni.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the K-12 school, the Lacy family also runs St. Andrew Theological & Academic University, which advertises a host of advanced degrees, out of their church.
