This broader record-keeping inquiry will consider whether the utility's missing or otherwise hard-to-locate records violated the law and hurt the safety of its vast network of gas pipes.

It was once even part of a Dream Schools program that brought millions of dollars in special aid, along with school uniforms, longer school days and Saturday classes.

The solution enshrined by city voters: Allow cops to simultaneously work and be retired — and earn both hefty salaries and pensions at the same time. The effectiveness of this plan is a matter of debate. Its craziness? Less so. \"It appears you're paying people twice,\" former city Controller Ed Harrington notes, \"because, in fact, you are.\" The Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) was sold to the city and its voters as the cure for a police department that was unable to attract new recruits, yet losing cops who took advantage of 90 percent pensions at age 55. The San Francisco Police Officers Association — which pushed DROP onto the ballot via a signature-gathering drive — argued that the city needed to entice the oldest officers to stick around. The means: Offer them a financial windfall. Earning a salary and pension at the same time, commonly known as \"double-dipping,\" contravenes nearly every notion of fiscal common sense — and, not insignificantly, the city charter.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/the-uncivil-jewish-debate/Content?oid=2574497\">The Uncivil Jewish Debate \u003c/a> (East Bay Express)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At Passover Seders next week, Jews throughout the East Bay and the nation will repeat the phrase, \"Next year in Jerusalem.\" But actually having a civil discussion these days among Jews about Israel and its controversial policies toward Palestinians is growing increasingly difficult. \"It's worse than it's ever been,\" said Rabbi Michael Lerner of Berkeley, explaining that he believes a heightened questioning of Israeli policies, both inside and outside the Jewish community, has put staunch supporters of Israel on the defensive. Now, Lerner said, one's intention in criticizing Israeli political decisions, even from people like himself who pray for Israel every day, is irrelevant. Instead of arguing with him, critics say, \"You're destroying Israel.\" Lerner should know. The Tikkun magazine editor has received death threats and his home has been vandalized because of his views.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/a-tale-of-two-trials/Content?oid=2574481\">A Tale of Two Trials\u003c/a> (East Bay Express)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Since March 21, reporters representing the cream of American journalism have been camped out in the Bay Area covering two high-profile trials. In an Oakland courtroom, two men are accused of being involved in three murders, including that of Chauncey Bailey, a journalist who was writing a story about Your Black Muslim Bakery. In San Francisco, baseball home-run king Barry Bonds is accused of telling a federal grand jury that he never knowingly took steroids. Aside from the fact that both trials are taking place, and all the defendants are African American, there is a disparity in how these cases are being treated by the media, both local and national. The Bailey trial is being covered by fewer than a dozen reporters from mostly local media: the Oakland Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, KTVU, American Urban Radio Networks, KCBS Radio, NPR, the Bay Guardian, Associated Press, ABC 7 News, and several websites and bloggers. Some are there every day, others are not. To be fair there was more media coverage for the first few days of the trial.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/2011/04/12/seeking-watchdogs-watchdog\">Seeking a watchdog's watchdog\u003c/a> (San Francisco Bay Guardian)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When cash pumps through the guts of city politics, the Ethics Commission is charged with keeping track of it all to help members of the public follow the money.

In the run-up to a hotly contested mayoral race, in a city marked by rough-and-tumble politics influenced by moneyed power brokers, the function of this local-government watchdog agency is especially critical — and to hear some critics tell it, the Ethics Commission needs reform if it is to perform as an effective safeguard against corruption.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Less so. \"It appears you're paying people twice,\" former city Controller Ed Harrington notes, \"because, in fact, you are.\" The Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) was sold to the city and its voters as the cure for a police department that was unable to attract new recruits, yet losing cops who took advantage of 90 percent pensions at age 55. The San Francisco Police Officers Association — which pushed DROP onto the ballot via a signature-gathering drive — argued that the city needed to entice the oldest officers to stick around. The means: Offer them a financial windfall. Earning a salary and pension at the same time, commonly known as \"double-dipping,\" contravenes nearly every notion of fiscal common sense — and, not insignificantly, the city charter.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/the-uncivil-jewish-debate/Content?oid=2574497\">The Uncivil Jewish Debate \u003c/a> (East Bay Express)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At Passover Seders next week, Jews throughout the East Bay and the nation will repeat the phrase, \"Next year in Jerusalem.\" But actually having a civil discussion these days among Jews about Israel and its controversial policies toward Palestinians is growing increasingly difficult. \"It's worse than it's ever been,\" said Rabbi Michael Lerner of Berkeley, explaining that he believes a heightened questioning of Israeli policies, both inside and outside the Jewish community, has put staunch supporters of Israel on the defensive. Now, Lerner said, one's intention in criticizing Israeli political decisions, even from people like himself who pray for Israel every day, is irrelevant. Instead of arguing with him, critics say, \"You're destroying Israel.\" Lerner should know. The Tikkun magazine editor has received death threats and his home has been vandalized because of his views.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/a-tale-of-two-trials/Content?oid=2574481\">A Tale of Two Trials\u003c/a> (East Bay Express)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Since March 21, reporters representing the cream of American journalism have been camped out in the Bay Area covering two high-profile trials. In an Oakland courtroom, two men are accused of being involved in three murders, including that of Chauncey Bailey, a journalist who was writing a story about Your Black Muslim Bakery. In San Francisco, baseball home-run king Barry Bonds is accused of telling a federal grand jury that he never knowingly took steroids. Aside from the fact that both trials are taking place, and all the defendants are African American, there is a disparity in how these cases are being treated by the media, both local and national. The Bailey trial is being covered by fewer than a dozen reporters from mostly local media: the Oakland Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, KTVU, American Urban Radio Networks, KCBS Radio, NPR, the Bay Guardian, Associated Press, ABC 7 News, and several websites and bloggers. Some are there every day, others are not. To be fair there was more media coverage for the first few days of the trial.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/2011/04/12/seeking-watchdogs-watchdog\">Seeking a watchdog's watchdog\u003c/a> (San Francisco Bay Guardian)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When cash pumps through the guts of city politics, the Ethics Commission is charged with keeping track of it all to help members of the public follow the money. But what happens when the public loses faith in the ethics of the Ethics Commission? In the run-up to a hotly contested mayoral race, in a city marked by rough-and-tumble politics influenced by moneyed power brokers, the function of this local-government watchdog agency is especially critical — and to hear some critics tell it, the Ethics Commission needs reform if it is to perform as an effective safeguard against corruption.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the future of her Ghost Town Farm is in question. This week, Oakland officials suggested it may need to close.

The police department says it has launched an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmNyvVT88K8&feature=player_embedded\">first video\u003c/a>, which the Public Defender's Office describes this way: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In the Dec. 23 incident, Officer Arshad Razzak states in a police report that officers knocked on the resident’s door, announced themselves and waited for a response. Hearing none, he wrote, officers slightly opened the door with a master key. Without entering the unit, officers then told the female resident they were freezing the room until they could obtain a search warrant, Razzak wrote. The woman then gave them verbal permission to search the premises while officers contacted headquarters and asked a unit to respond with a consent form she could read, according to the police report. A man inside the woman’s room was arrested after officers claimed to find heroin and crack on his person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surveillance video, however, tells a different story. In it, four narcotics officers – Razzak, Yick, Madrid and Forneris — are seen using a master key to barge directly into the room without knocking or obtaining consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charges against the man were dropped by prosecutors this week after the surveillance footage was obtained by the Public Defender’s Office.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/-zc1m-DJF0k'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-zc1m-DJF0k'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/03/henryhoteldec23.pdf\">incident report\u003c/a> that police filed for this arrest.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
