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.",

"content": "\u003cp>On a recent evening I joined a group of strangers on a twilight tour of San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Island. This wasn’t your typical urban outing. First, consider our guide, an artist named Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez. He’s wearing a tattered nautical jacket and a two-day beard. He’s confiscated our cellphones and placed them in a heavy briefcase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s our stealthy, guerrilla-style approach. Ashton-Gonzalez leads us across a small beach, around a clump of trees and up a steep trail. As we pass rows of empty military homes, he orders us to take cover while a private security guard passes nearby. We’ve entered a restricted area that is scheduled for demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Step lightly,” he whispers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/252914190\" 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>At the top of the island we dart across a small parking lot to reach our destination -- a lonely wooden tower.

It’s as if we’ve entered the bridge of a giant ship anchored grandly in the middle of the bay. Jutting \u003cem>beneath\u003c/em> us are the white towers of the Bay Bridge.

It’s a rogue museum and a modern-day speakeasy, except that the illicit part of the experience is not what you drink, but how you get in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez created the Signal Room last year after returning from a few years in New York City. He was moonlighting as an actor and storyteller, and conspiring with a group of urban explorers and trespassers. Their rogue pop-up projects included running a bar in an abandoned water tower in Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez was looking to replicate his New York experiences back in his hometown. That’s when he discovered the abandoned radio tower on Yerba Buena Island and began researching its history. It was built by the military in 1917 to direct ships through San Francisco Bay. Later, it guided aircraft during World War II and served as an officers club. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, the building was sealed shut. Until Ashton-Gonzalez found a way to sneak inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10900505\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalTowerHistoric.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10900505 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalTowerHistoric-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Navy signal corpsman F.R.

He installed tiny exhibits detailing the island’s history -- as an Indian burial site, as a smugglers’ haven and as a listening post for the military. He’s also staged dozens of secret events -- from small concerts and poetry readings to panel discussions and plotting sessions -- making this location the most exclusive (or certainly the most restricted) nighttime venue in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events here are free (unless food is being served) and typically involve 15 or 20 people who are invited by previous guests. Eugene says that protects against what he calls \"cool hunters.\" On my visit I nibbled on plates of smoked lamb, while a group of storytellers recounted old family yarns and Oakland-based musician Alycia Lang sang her tender songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez says the tower’s wooden construction, combined with traffic noise from the Bay Bridge, provides an acoustic camouflage that protects his events from the scrutiny of police and private security (so far not a single happening has been raided).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this cultural commotion caught the eye of San Francisco writer Gary Kamiya, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/the-unkillable-arts-underground\" target=\"_blank\">visited the tower earlier this year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you see a site like that, you cannot be intellectually prepared for it,” he says. “It’s so stunning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10900551\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10900551 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-800x519.jpg\" alt=\"The view from the Signal Room looking across the western span of the Bay Bridge toward San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-800x519.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-1180x765.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-960x623.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view from the Signal Room looking across the western span of the Bay Bridge toward San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kamiya says the work of Ashton-Gonzalez and others is proof that an underground countercultural scene is still vibrant in San Francisco in spite of a tech boom that has driven many artists from the city. He says it’s a tradition that began decades ago with groups like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.suicideclub.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Suicide Club\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.cacophony.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Cacophony Society\u003c/a>. They used tunnels, bridges, sewers and civic buildings as a kind of illicit stage set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why people like Eugene describe themselves as 'experience designers,' ” Kamiya says. “It's not that you're going to design a play or a piece of music. You're going to design an experience. And ideally it will be an intense experience. So when you go up into an abandoned old room with one of the greatest views in the world with a group of strangers, you've succeeded in doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">If all of this is such a big secret, why talk about it to a reporter?\u003cbr>\n'I want to save the building,' he says.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Another fan of the Signal Room is John Law. He joined the Cacophony Society in the 1980s and was a co-founder of Burning Man (he later broke with the festival).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me the whole thing about urban exploration -- and the best thing about it -- is that it's a connection with the past and it's really ephemeral,” Law says. “And Eugene, finding this space and understanding what it was and giving it a last breath of life, that's brilliant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point you’re probably wondering something.

This wasn’t your typical urban outing. First, consider our guide, an artist named Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez. He’s wearing a tattered nautical jacket and a two-day beard. He’s confiscated our cellphones and placed them in a heavy briefcase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s our stealthy, guerrilla-style approach. Ashton-Gonzalez leads us across a small beach, around a clump of trees and up a steep trail. As we pass rows of empty military homes, he orders us to take cover while a private security guard passes nearby. We’ve entered a restricted area that is scheduled for demolition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Step lightly,” he whispers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/252914190&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/252914190'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the top of the island we dart across a small parking lot to reach our destination -- a lonely wooden tower.

It’s a rogue museum and a modern-day speakeasy, except that the illicit part of the experience is not what you drink, but how you get in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez created the Signal Room last year after returning from a few years in New York City. He was moonlighting as an actor and storyteller, and conspiring with a group of urban explorers and trespassers. Their rogue pop-up projects included running a bar in an abandoned water tower in Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez was looking to replicate his New York experiences back in his hometown. That’s when he discovered the abandoned radio tower on Yerba Buena Island and began researching its history. It was built by the military in 1917 to direct ships through San Francisco Bay. Later, it guided aircraft during World War II and served as an officers club. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, the building was sealed shut. Until Ashton-Gonzalez found a way to sneak inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10900505\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalTowerHistoric.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10900505 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalTowerHistoric-800x568.jpg\" alt=\"Navy signal corpsman F.R.

He installed tiny exhibits detailing the island’s history -- as an Indian burial site, as a smugglers’ haven and as a listening post for the military. He’s also staged dozens of secret events -- from small concerts and poetry readings to panel discussions and plotting sessions -- making this location the most exclusive (or certainly the most restricted) nighttime venue in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Events here are free (unless food is being served) and typically involve 15 or 20 people who are invited by previous guests. Eugene says that protects against what he calls \"cool hunters.\" On my visit I nibbled on plates of smoked lamb, while a group of storytellers recounted old family yarns and Oakland-based musician Alycia Lang sang her tender songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashton-Gonzalez says the tower’s wooden construction, combined with traffic noise from the Bay Bridge, provides an acoustic camouflage that protects his events from the scrutiny of police and private security (so far not a single happening has been raided).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this cultural commotion caught the eye of San Francisco writer Gary Kamiya, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/the-unkillable-arts-underground\" target=\"_blank\">visited the tower earlier this year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you see a site like that, you cannot be intellectually prepared for it,” he says. “It’s so stunning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10900551\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10900551 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-800x519.jpg\" alt=\"The view from the Signal Room looking across the western span of the Bay Bridge toward San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-800x519.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-400x259.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-1180x765.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/SignalView-960x623.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view from the Signal Room looking across the western span of the Bay Bridge toward San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Eugene Ashton-Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Kamiya says the work of Ashton-Gonzalez and others is proof that an underground countercultural scene is still vibrant in San Francisco in spite of a tech boom that has driven many artists from the city. He says it’s a tradition that began decades ago with groups like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.suicideclub.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Suicide Club\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.cacophony.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Cacophony Society\u003c/a>. They used tunnels, bridges, sewers and civic buildings as a kind of illicit stage set.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why people like Eugene describe themselves as 'experience designers,' ” Kamiya says. “It's not that you're going to design a play or a piece of music. You're going to design an experience. And ideally it will be an intense experience. So when you go up into an abandoned old room with one of the greatest views in the world with a group of strangers, you've succeeded in doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">If all of this is such a big secret, why talk about it to a reporter?\u003cbr>\n'I want to save the building,' he says.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Another fan of the Signal Room is John Law. He joined the Cacophony Society in the 1980s and was a co-founder of Burning Man (he later broke with the festival).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me the whole thing about urban exploration -- and the best thing about it -- is that it's a connection with the past and it's really ephemeral,” Law says. “And Eugene, finding this space and understanding what it was and giving it a last breath of life, that's brilliant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point you’re probably wondering something. If all of this is such a big secret, why is Ashton-Gonzalez talking about it to a reporter?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to save the building,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preservation isn’t what motivated him at the beginning. He admits that when he first discovered the tower all he wanted to do was have a huge party. But he’s come to see the space as something more than a speakeasy on life support.

In a rare move and in an attempt to allay concerns about bias, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch made public the mountain of evidence that was presented to the grand jury. We're combing through the thousands of pages — including testimony from Wilson and many witnesses — and throughout the day, we'll update this post with the pieces that help explain how those 12 people reached their decision. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/25/366507379/ferguson-docs-how-the-grand-jury-reached-a-decision\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2014/11/25/law-and-disorder-in-ferguson\" target=\"_blank\">Law and disorder in Ferguson: 10 must-reads from coverage of the decision and its aftermath\u003c/a> (The Marshall Project):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Three months after it began its work, the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, chose Monday not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson for killing black, unarmed teenager Michael Brown last August. In this, the grand jury of nine whites and three blacks was no different from grand juries all over the country that previously have excused police officers following shooting deaths like this. Our nation’s legal standards, its broad definitions of the use of “deadly force,” make it extremely difficult for police officers ever to face criminal charges even when an unarmed citizen dies after an altercation like this. \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2014/11/25/law-and-disorder-in-ferguson\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/allegations-of-police-misconduct-rarely-result-in-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Allegations of police misconduct rarely result in charges\u003c/a> (FiveThirtyEight):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Police shootings, and allegations of police misconduct in general, almost never make it in front of a grand jury. And officers rarely face legal consequences for allegations of misconduct. As is the case with police shooting statistics, comprehensive numbers on accusations of police misconduct are hard to come by. There is no national reporting requirement for such accusations; in fact, many places have laws to purposefully keep the details of misconduct investigations out of the public eye. \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/allegations-of-police-misconduct-rarely-result-in-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Financial-District-high-rises-being-taken-over-by-5915380.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco's technology boom spreads into Financial District \u003c/a>(San Francisco Chronicle):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Since 2010, the amount of space that tech companies occupy in San Francisco towers over 12 stories has jumped from 3.5 million square feet to 7.2 million square feet, according to the commercial real estate brokerage CBRE. That’s the equivalent of more than 14 Transamerica Pyramids and enough space to house about 35,000 workers. And much more is coming. Of the eight office buildings under construction in the city, 100 percent of the space has been pre-leased to technology companies. Uber, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Salesforce and Splunk have combined to take 2.5 million square feet in buildings that have not yet opened. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Financial-District-high-rises-being-taken-over-by-5915380.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/25/us/fda-to-announce-sweeping-calorie-rules-for-restaurants.html\" target=\"_blank\">FDA to require calorie count, even for movie popcorn \u003c/a>(New York Times):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration announced sweeping rules on Tuesday that will require chain restaurants, movie theaters and pizza parlors across the country to post calorie counts on their menus. ...

The group, San Francisco Baykeeper, said San Jose has had 780 sewage spills over the past five years, and has allowed tons of trash to flow into the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek through its storm drain system. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_27005456/environmental-group-sue-san-jose-sewage-spills-and\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3161247-181/unanimous-county-vote-approves-stream\" target=\"_blank\">Unanimous Sonoma County vote protects streamside corridors\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa Press-Democrat):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>County supervisors Monday adopted a hard-won compromise between farmers and environmental groups, advancing protective buffer zones along 3,200 miles of streams and rivers in the county. “This is a historic day,” Board Chairman David Rabbitt said. “It wasn’t easy to get here.” Supervisors unanimously approved the measure shielding 82,000 acres of land outside city limits, most of it on private property, from future farming and development. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3161247-181/unanimous-county-vote-approves-stream\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers-stadium/ci_27004854/santa-clara-hook-2-million-super-bowl-events\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Clara to spend $2 million on Super Bowl fete\u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Although Super Bowl 50 organizers have raised $40 million to fund a week of events throughout the Bay Area, the city hosting the actual game -- Santa Clara -- will be on its own to pay for a slate of festivities showing itself off to the world. Santa Clara officials on Monday unveiled a $2 million package of about a dozen events leading up to the February 2016 game at the new Levi's Stadium, headlined by a parade and fireworks extravaganza.

In a rare move and in an attempt to allay concerns about bias, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch made public the mountain of evidence that was presented to the grand jury. We're combing through the thousands of pages — including testimony from Wilson and many witnesses — and throughout the day, we'll update this post with the pieces that help explain how those 12 people reached their decision. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/25/366507379/ferguson-docs-how-the-grand-jury-reached-a-decision\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2014/11/25/law-and-disorder-in-ferguson\" target=\"_blank\">Law and disorder in Ferguson: 10 must-reads from coverage of the decision and its aftermath\u003c/a> (The Marshall Project):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Three months after it began its work, the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, chose Monday not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson for killing black, unarmed teenager Michael Brown last August. In this, the grand jury of nine whites and three blacks was no different from grand juries all over the country that previously have excused police officers following shooting deaths like this. Our nation’s legal standards, its broad definitions of the use of “deadly force,” make it extremely difficult for police officers ever to face criminal charges even when an unarmed citizen dies after an altercation like this. \u003ca href=\"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2014/11/25/law-and-disorder-in-ferguson\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/allegations-of-police-misconduct-rarely-result-in-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Allegations of police misconduct rarely result in charges\u003c/a> (FiveThirtyEight):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Police shootings, and allegations of police misconduct in general, almost never make it in front of a grand jury. And officers rarely face legal consequences for allegations of misconduct. As is the case with police shooting statistics, comprehensive numbers on accusations of police misconduct are hard to come by. There is no national reporting requirement for such accusations; in fact, many places have laws to purposefully keep the details of misconduct investigations out of the public eye. \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/allegations-of-police-misconduct-rarely-result-in-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Financial-District-high-rises-being-taken-over-by-5915380.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco's technology boom spreads into Financial District \u003c/a>(San Francisco Chronicle):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Since 2010, the amount of space that tech companies occupy in San Francisco towers over 12 stories has jumped from 3.5 million square feet to 7.2 million square feet, according to the commercial real estate brokerage CBRE. That’s the equivalent of more than 14 Transamerica Pyramids and enough space to house about 35,000 workers. And much more is coming. Of the eight office buildings under construction in the city, 100 percent of the space has been pre-leased to technology companies. Uber, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Salesforce and Splunk have combined to take 2.5 million square feet in buildings that have not yet opened. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Financial-District-high-rises-being-taken-over-by-5915380.php\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/25/us/fda-to-announce-sweeping-calorie-rules-for-restaurants.html\" target=\"_blank\">FDA to require calorie count, even for movie popcorn \u003c/a>(New York Times):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration announced sweeping rules on Tuesday that will require chain restaurants, movie theaters and pizza parlors across the country to post calorie counts on their menus. ...

The accounts included photos of female students with misogynistic, sexual captions. A number of the instigators were suspended as a result. However, a group of students who have launched an anti-sexual harassment campaign on campus say the punishment doesn’t help curb the culture that set the stage for the incident in the first place. \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/11/21/students-target-sexual-harassment-at-berkeley-high-school/\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_27005456/environmental-group-sue-san-jose-sewage-spills-and\" target=\"_blank\">Baykeeper to sue San Jose for sewage spills and trash pollution\u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a move that could force the city of San Jose to spend millions modernizing its sewage system, cleaning up trash and removing homeless encampments, an environmental group announced Monday it will file a lawsuit under the Clean Water Act charging the city with failing to stop pollution from washing into creeks and San Francisco Bay. The group, San Francisco Baykeeper, said San Jose has had 780 sewage spills over the past five years, and has allowed tons of trash to flow into the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek through its storm drain system. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_27005456/environmental-group-sue-san-jose-sewage-spills-and\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3161247-181/unanimous-county-vote-approves-stream\" target=\"_blank\">Unanimous Sonoma County vote protects streamside corridors\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa Press-Democrat):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>County supervisors Monday adopted a hard-won compromise between farmers and environmental groups, advancing protective buffer zones along 3,200 miles of streams and rivers in the county. “This is a historic day,” Board Chairman David Rabbitt said. “It wasn’t easy to get here.” Supervisors unanimously approved the measure shielding 82,000 acres of land outside city limits, most of it on private property, from future farming and development. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3161247-181/unanimous-county-vote-approves-stream\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers-stadium/ci_27004854/santa-clara-hook-2-million-super-bowl-events\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Clara to spend $2 million on Super Bowl fete\u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Although Super Bowl 50 organizers have raised $40 million to fund a week of events throughout the Bay Area, the city hosting the actual game -- Santa Clara -- will be on its own to pay for a slate of festivities showing itself off to the world. Santa Clara officials on Monday unveiled a $2 million package of about a dozen events leading up to the February 2016 game at the new Levi's Stadium, headlined by a parade and fireworks extravaganza. But the city will have to start from scratch to raise private money for the showcase -- and if that campaign falls short, taxpayers will be on the hook. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers-stadium/ci_27004854/santa-clara-hook-2-million-super-bowl-events\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_27005310/marin-author-isabel-allende-honored-presidential-medal-freedom\" target=\"_blank\">Author Isabel Allende gets Presidential Medal of Freedom\u003c/a> (Marin Independent Journal):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As Marin author Isabel Allende received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, at a White House ceremony on Monday morning, President Barack Obama quoted her, saying, \"Write to register history.
