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.",

During the month of June, more than 100 milky frog babies hatched. This type of frog can lay up to 200 eggs at a time. The eggs are separated from the adult frogs as soon as possible. Keepers monitor the tadpoles as they grow legs and develop into tiny froglets (process takes approximately four weeks). The babies are kept off exhibit until they are large enough to fend for themselves, and not become dinner for adult frogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiples of millipedes hatched behind-the-scenes of the bug house. Right now, zoo keepers are keeping track of more than \u003cstrong>100 tiny millipedes\u003c/strong> that require more work than one might realize. The eggs are laid in moist rotting soil or in rotting food. They are the size of a piece of bird seed and are white.

Currently, zookeepers are raising \u003cstrong>nine spotted turtle babies\u003c/strong>. Turtle eggs are placed into an incubator, with close attention placed on watching temperature and humidity. The sex of a turtle is determined by the temperature at which the egg is incubated; therefore, zookeepers are careful with the male to female ratio when incubating eggs. Once hatched, the tiny turtles need very specific food during their development. Like the lizards, turtles require UVA/UVB lighting for bone and shell development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Three joeys\u003c/strong> that started out very small, the size of kidney beans, are now being seen inside and outside of their mothers’ pouches. With birthdates estimated in November, February, and April, visitors are able to see the three babies while riding the Outback Express Adventure train through the Wild Australia section of the Zoo. Joeys are born blind and helpless, beginning in their mother’s Cloaca, then to the pouch, where they crawl in and latch onto a nipple. It takes nearly six months before the joeys start peeking outside the pouch. At this age of development they also resemble their parents and begin making appearances outside of the pouch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“The nice thing about having such a large exhibit is that it allows the animals to behave as they naturally would,” said Lorraine Peters, ZooKeeper.

She enjoys playing with her older brother on exhibit and is very active throughout the day. Behind-the-scenes, ZooKeepers, Amy and Sara, are working with Maggie to get her used to ZooKeepers. They are training her to wear a halter, so she is not afraid should she need a veterinary procedure. Keepers use a whistle, a target, and treats to train Maggie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Three baby river otters\u003c/strong> (two males and one female) born in February are now nearly the size of their parents.

In the interview, she emphasized proximity to schools and children:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of my concerns about dispensaries that are in proximity to schools and parks and playgrounds is the possibility they could be the target of violence or armed robbery. People in the community may be supportive of the dispensary being in their community until there's a robbery and people come running out of the dispensary shooting guns...When a dispensary comes to my attention that is close to a school, a park, a playground or children, that's a line I've decided to draw.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The complaint against Harborside's landlords, however, have moved that line. Harborside is not near any facility that children may frequent, and Haag, in a statement, offered a new reason for going after a medical marijuana provider:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This office has used its limited resources to address those marijuana dispensaries that operate close to schools, parks and playgrounds. As I have said in the past, this is a non-exclusive list of factors relevant to whether we should commence civil forfeiture actions against marijuana properties, and circumstances may require us to address other situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I now find the need to consider actions regarding marijuana superstores such as Harborside. The larger the operation, the greater the likelihood that there will be abuse of the state’s medical marijuana laws, and marijuana in the hands of individuals who do not have a demonstrated medical need.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While it may seem that Haag is changing the rules in the middle of the game, it is true that she left the door open for more expansive enforcement in her interview with Montgomery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I can't promise going forward that it won't change. I can't promise that we very well may find an appropriate case for criminal prosecution. We very well may find a case where it's appropriate to not give notice to the owner of the property but simply to institute an asset forfeiture action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot promise that we will not bring actions against dispensaries that are not close to schools and parks and playgrounds but for some other reason we felt that it was appropriate to expand our look. So I don't want to send the message to people that if you are more than 1000 feet from a school you will not be targeted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"interview\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I talked about the situation with Harborside Executive Director Steve DeAngelo, a passionate advocate of medical marijuana who appeared in the Discovery Channel reality series \u003ca href=\"http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/weed-wars/\">Weed Wars\u003c/a>. DeAngelo characterized the federal crackdown on medical marijuana as \"death by a thousand cuts,\" contending that U.S. Attorney Haag will continue to expand the criteria for taking action against marijuana facilities that are legal in the state of California -- but not under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How do you see the action against Harborside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARBORSIDE'S STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: The Justice Department issued a statement that said we'd been targeted because of an abstract principle that larger dispensaries tend to result in more people inappropriately receiving cannabis.

In the interview, she emphasized proximity to schools and children:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of my concerns about dispensaries that are in proximity to schools and parks and playgrounds is the possibility they could be the target of violence or armed robbery. People in the community may be supportive of the dispensary being in their community until there's a robbery and people come running out of the dispensary shooting guns...When a dispensary comes to my attention that is close to a school, a park, a playground or children, that's a line I've decided to draw.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The complaint against Harborside's landlords, however, have moved that line. Harborside is not near any facility that children may frequent, and Haag, in a statement, offered a new reason for going after a medical marijuana provider:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This office has used its limited resources to address those marijuana dispensaries that operate close to schools, parks and playgrounds. As I have said in the past, this is a non-exclusive list of factors relevant to whether we should commence civil forfeiture actions against marijuana properties, and circumstances may require us to address other situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I now find the need to consider actions regarding marijuana superstores such as Harborside. The larger the operation, the greater the likelihood that there will be abuse of the state’s medical marijuana laws, and marijuana in the hands of individuals who do not have a demonstrated medical need.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While it may seem that Haag is changing the rules in the middle of the game, it is true that she left the door open for more expansive enforcement in her interview with Montgomery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I can't promise going forward that it won't change. I can't promise that we very well may find an appropriate case for criminal prosecution. We very well may find a case where it's appropriate to not give notice to the owner of the property but simply to institute an asset forfeiture action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot promise that we will not bring actions against dispensaries that are not close to schools and parks and playgrounds but for some other reason we felt that it was appropriate to expand our look.

If you get above a certain threshold, according to the document, you become a higher priority target. Harborside, by its own admission, was responsible for the cultivation and distribution of marijuana way above the thresholds in these guidelines.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

While the presidents actions are not a direct result of the Oakland demonstration, it has given some renewed vigor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Prior to the policy I’d been fearing deportation every single day,\" said Ju Hong a UC Berkeley graduate. \"You know, some other students already got a deportation letter, they probably lost hope, but because of this new policy implementation now they will have opportunities to stay in this country,\" he continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The report found that the police response was \"flawed by inadequate staffing, insufficient planning, lack of understanding of modern crowd management techniques, and outdated policies and protocols.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report makes 68 recommendations for improvements to how the police department handles protests. Some of the big ones are to revise the Use of Force and Mutual Aid policies. It also cites three fundamental reasons why the police were ill-equipped to handle Occupy Oakland protesters: lack of consistency in leadership, little emphasis on career development and training, and staff cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While mostly damning of the City's response, the report does give city officials some credit for immediately taking steps to implement many of the recommendations -- according to the City 74 percent are currently underway or completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca title=\"View Oakland City's Full Independent Report on Occupy on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/97138230/Oakland-City-s-Full-Independent-Report-on-Occupy\">Oakland City's Full Independent Report on Occupy\u003c/a>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/97138230/content?start_page=1&view_mode=list&access_key=key-ljv3bzyo846v3pyvli2\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
