Otis Charles struggled for years to fit in with what was expected of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was bishop of Utah for 15 years before becoming president of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass. He was married for 42 years and raised five children with his wife Elvira. He told Elvira he was gay in 1976, but he didn't go public until 1993 — becoming the first Christian bishop to come out as gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview in the 2012 documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.lovefreeordiemovie.com/\">Love Free or Die\u003c/a>,\" about Gene Robinson, the first openly gay priest in a committed same-sex relationship to be ordained a bishop, Charles regrets not coming out sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like trying to put on a suit that doesn't fit,\" he says of being closeted. Though he didn't come out until he had retired from the church, separated from and divorced his wife, and moved to San Francisco, he spent the rest of his years speaking out in support of fully including gay and lesbian worshippers and ministers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles died on Dec. 26, at age 87, in his San Francisco home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In earlier interviews, he says he remained in the closet for so long because he thought the truth would be too hard on the diocese, his family, and his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came debates in the Episcopal Church over homosexuality. \"I sat quietly during all of that rhetoric while bishops were speaking out of no knowledge and great prejudice,\" Charles told \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R910091630/c\">KQED's Scott Shafer\u003c/a> in 2009. \"And their whole attitude was, this was a great illness and you just had to go to the bottom, and finally you get saved and everything would be fine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the catalyst that moved him. He \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/THE-BATTLE-OVER-SAME-SEX-MARRIAGE-Gay-bishop-2785812.php\">told\u003c/a> the San Francisco Chronicle in 2004:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I was ashamed of myself for remaining silent when the church was involved in an acrimonious debate about the whole question of gay people in the life of the church. I couldn't live with that any longer,\" he said. \"I came to realize that I was only going to wither and die and it would be a destructive relationship for my wife and myself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to fellow bishops, Charles wrote, \"I will not remain silent, invisible, unknown.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In fact, Charles, who retained his bishop's rank after his retirement and membership in the church's 300-delegate House of Bishops, was politically active. He was arrested in 1999 at the national Episcopal convention in Denver in a protest over the church's treatment of gays and lesbians. In 2003, he was a delegate to the Episcopal convention that approved the election of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire. He also participated in antiwar causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rev. Jay Johnson, an Episcopal priest and lecturer in theology and culture at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, knew Charles for more than 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for people to realize who did not know him personally what a simply wonderful man that he was,\" Johnson said, \"friendly, charming, insightful, always keen to be learning, always keen to be pushing both church and society further toward that image that he believed was the essence of Christian faith and of the gospel, and that is everyone is welcome at the table, and he certainly lived that way himself. That will be greatly missed, by many.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At age 76, Charles met his partner. He and Felipe Sanchez-Paris, a retired professor and political organizer, married in a church ceremony in 2004, and were legally married in 2008, during the pre-Prop. 8 window in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he met and his relationship with Felipe Paris developed, he became even more concerned and involved in immigration rights and all sorts of areas around economic and social justice,\" Johnson said. Sanchez-Paris died in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rev. Susan Russell, an Episcopal priest in Pasadena, wrote in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rev-susan-russell/bishop-otis-charles-and-the-bridge-to-somewhere_b_4509082.html\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Otis Charles was part of the bridge generation — those who dared to reach across the chasm of what was to what could be — building a bridge to somewhere. Those who had no examples of how to live authentically as LGBT people and so became examples for those who came after them. Examples of how to tell the truth about their lives — even after decades of denial to themselves and to others. Examples of how to claim the blessing of God's presence in their life and in their love as a witness to a work of healing, of hope, of wholeness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Jan. 11 at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church, 500 DeHaro St., in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alex Emslie contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

He told Elvira he was gay in 1976, but he didn't go public until 1993 — becoming the first Christian bishop to come out as gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview in the 2012 documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.lovefreeordiemovie.com/\">Love Free or Die\u003c/a>,\" about Gene Robinson, the first openly gay priest in a committed same-sex relationship to be ordained a bishop, Charles regrets not coming out sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like trying to put on a suit that doesn't fit,\" he says of being closeted. Though he didn't come out until he had retired from the church, separated from and divorced his wife, and moved to San Francisco, he spent the rest of his years speaking out in support of fully including gay and lesbian worshippers and ministers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles died on Dec. 26, at age 87, in his San Francisco home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/THE-BATTLE-OVER-SAME-SEX-MARRIAGE-Gay-bishop-2785812.php\">told\u003c/a> the San Francisco Chronicle in 2004:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I was ashamed of myself for remaining silent when the church was involved in an acrimonious debate about the whole question of gay people in the life of the church.

He was arrested in 1999 at the national Episcopal convention in Denver in a protest over the church's treatment of gays and lesbians. In 2003, he was a delegate to the Episcopal convention that approved the election of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire. He also participated in antiwar causes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rev. Jay Johnson, an Episcopal priest and lecturer in theology and culture at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, knew Charles for more than 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important for people to realize who did not know him personally what a simply wonderful man that he was,\" Johnson said, \"friendly, charming, insightful, always keen to be learning, always keen to be pushing both church and society further toward that image that he believed was the essence of Christian faith and of the gospel, and that is everyone is welcome at the table, and he certainly lived that way himself. That will be greatly missed, by many.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At age 76, Charles met his partner. He and Felipe Sanchez-Paris, a retired professor and political organizer, married in a church ceremony in 2004, and were legally married in 2008, during the pre-Prop. 8 window in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he met and his relationship with Felipe Paris developed, he became even more concerned and involved in immigration rights and all sorts of areas around economic and social justice,\" Johnson said. Sanchez-Paris died in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rev. Susan Russell, an Episcopal priest in Pasadena, wrote in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rev-susan-russell/bishop-otis-charles-and-the-bridge-to-somewhere_b_4509082.html\">Huffington Post\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Otis Charles was part of the bridge generation — those who dared to reach across the chasm of what was to what could be — building a bridge to somewhere. Those who had no examples of how to live authentically as LGBT people and so became examples for those who came after them. Examples of how to tell the truth about their lives — even after decades of denial to themselves and to others. Examples of how to claim the blessing of God's presence in their life and in their love as a witness to a work of healing, of hope, of wholeness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Jan. 11 at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church, 500 DeHaro St., in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alex Emslie contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>San Francisco police Thursday released the names of two men arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter for separate collisions on New Year’s Eve that killed a 6-year-old girl and an 86-year-old man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Syed Muzzafar, 57, of Union City, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and failure to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk for striking 6-year-old Sophia Liu at about 8 p.m. Tuesday at Polk and Ellis streets in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood. Sophia, a woman and another child were in a crosswalk when Muzzafar allegedly turned right and struck them, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sophia succumbed to her injuries at San Francisco General Hospital while the woman suffered life-threatening injuries and the other child is expected to survive, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Jane Kim, whose district includes the Tenderloin, said the other two victims were Sophia’s mother and brother and that the motorist identified himself as a driver with the transportation company Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Noyes of Uber told KQED’s David Weir that Muzzafar worked for UberX, which is Uber’s “ride-share” service, a competitor to Lyft and Sidecar. These companies have been designated by the California Public Utilities Commission as “transportation network companies” or TNCs, which allow ordinary car owners to offer rides to paying customers through a phone app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, we notice spiking right now in terms of web traffic: our \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/14/who-pays-when-ride-share-driver-crashes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation into the insurance issues for ride-service drivers\u003c/a> like the one from UberX. TNCs are now required to offer $1 million per incident liability insurance policies, but one assumption might be those would not apply to a driver operating his vehicle for personal use. Complicating matters: the insurance industry says that in order to be covered, any driver using his vehicle for TNC work must buy commercial insurance, even when on personal time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, insurance may be the least of Muzzafar’s problems. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Susan Fahey said he was booked into custody early Wednesday morning and was released after posting bail at about 11 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco cab industry, which has been losing customers to TNCs like UberX and opposes the CPUC’s decision to legalize them, has argued that the public is at risk as an influx of new quasi-professional drivers has hit the road. The CPUC’s decision requires TNCs to comply with the following safety standards:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>TNCs shall obtain each TNC driver’s driving record before the driver begins providing service and quarterly thereafter.Drivers with convictions for reckless driving, driving under the influence, hit and run, or driving with a suspended or revoked license shall not be permitted to be a TNC driver.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drivers may have a maximum of two points on their driving records for lesser offenses, e.g., equipment problems, speeding, or child safety seat violations. TNCs shall establish a driver training program to ensure that all drivers are safely operating the vehicle prior to the driver being able to offer service. This program must be filed with the Commission within 45 days of the adoption of this decision. TNCs must report to the Commission on an annual basis the number of drivers that became eligible and completed the course\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Hansu Kim, owner of San Francisco’s DeSoto Cab and a board member of the Taxicab Paratransit Association of California, told KQED that ride-service companies “have skirted all the rules that have applied to safety and that have been in place for decades. Sadly, I predict there will be more tragedies until regulators wake up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, in another fatal pedestrian accident earlier Tuesday, 86-year-old Zhen Guang Ng was struck at about 3:30 p.m. at Naples and Rolph streets in the city’s Crocker-Amazon neighborhood. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giampaolo Boschetti, a 69-year-old San Francisco resident, was arrested following the collision and was booked into custody on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and failure to stop at a stop sign, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fahey said Boschetti was released early Wednesday morning after also posting bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Examiner has put up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/two-fatalities-close-out-high-year-for-pedestrian-deaths/Content?oid=2663416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story up\u003c/a> on the rise of pedestrian fatalities in the city:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The two deaths on the last day of 2013 brought the pedestrian fatality count to 20 for the year, according to Walk San Francisco, the highest number since 24 were killed six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a new year with all the sadness, a wake-up call to The City that we need to prioritize pedestrian safety,” said Walk SF Executive Director Nicole Schneider. “Twenty people dying last year alone should be a cause for concern that this is a public health and public safety crisis that The City needs to take responsibility for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrian fatalities in 2013 surged from the previous five years, which saw between 13 and 17 each year, despite a pedestrian strategy released early last year. The Police Department had also launched a campaign in late 2012 focusing on the five leading causes of collisions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: Two more San Francisco pedestrians, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24836648/san-francisco-pedestrian-seriously-injured-after-being-struck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one on Thursday evening\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Pedestrian-hit-in-S-F-s-Lower-Nob-Hill-5111539.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one on Friday morning\u003c/a>, have been injured after being struck by cars.

TNCs are now required to offer $1 million per incident liability insurance policies, but one assumption might be those would not apply to a driver operating his vehicle for personal use. Complicating matters: the insurance industry says that in order to be covered, any driver using his vehicle for TNC work must buy commercial insurance, even when on personal time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, insurance may be the least of Muzzafar’s problems. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Susan Fahey said he was booked into custody early Wednesday morning and was released after posting bail at about 11 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco cab industry, which has been losing customers to TNCs like UberX and opposes the CPUC’s decision to legalize them, has argued that the public is at risk as an influx of new quasi-professional drivers has hit the road. The CPUC’s decision requires TNCs to comply with the following safety standards:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>TNCs shall obtain each TNC driver’s driving record before the driver begins providing service and quarterly thereafter.Drivers with convictions for reckless driving, driving under the influence, hit and run, or driving with a suspended or revoked license shall not be permitted to be a TNC driver.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drivers may have a maximum of two points on their driving records for lesser offenses, e.g., equipment problems, speeding, or child safety seat violations. TNCs shall establish a driver training program to ensure that all drivers are safely operating the vehicle prior to the driver being able to offer service. This program must be filed with the Commission within 45 days of the adoption of this decision. TNCs must report to the Commission on an annual basis the number of drivers that became eligible and completed the course\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Hansu Kim, owner of San Francisco’s DeSoto Cab and a board member of the Taxicab Paratransit Association of California, told KQED that ride-service companies “have skirted all the rules that have applied to safety and that have been in place for decades. Sadly, I predict there will be more tragedies until regulators wake up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, in another fatal pedestrian accident earlier Tuesday, 86-year-old Zhen Guang Ng was struck at about 3:30 p.m. at Naples and Rolph streets in the city’s Crocker-Amazon neighborhood. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giampaolo Boschetti, a 69-year-old San Francisco resident, was arrested following the collision and was booked into custody on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and failure to stop at a stop sign, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fahey said Boschetti was released early Wednesday morning after also posting bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Examiner has put up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/two-fatalities-close-out-high-year-for-pedestrian-deaths/Content?oid=2663416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story up\u003c/a> on the rise of pedestrian fatalities in the city:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The two deaths on the last day of 2013 brought the pedestrian fatality count to 20 for the year, according to Walk San Francisco, the highest number since 24 were killed six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a new year with all the sadness, a wake-up call to The City that we need to prioritize pedestrian safety,” said Walk SF Executive Director Nicole Schneider. “Twenty people dying last year alone should be a cause for concern that this is a public health and public safety crisis that The City needs to take responsibility for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedestrian fatalities in 2013 surged from the previous five years, which saw between 13 and 17 each year, despite a pedestrian strategy released early last year. The Police Department had also launched a campaign in late 2012 focusing on the five leading causes of collisions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: Two more San Francisco pedestrians, \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_24836648/san-francisco-pedestrian-seriously-injured-after-being-struck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one on Thursday evening\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Pedestrian-hit-in-S-F-s-Lower-Nob-Hill-5111539.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one on Friday morning\u003c/a>, have been injured after being struck by cars.

Justice Sotomayor was terrific – lively, humane, totally engaging and she had an inspiring personal story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyson was a surprise – smart, amicable, a good storyteller. From the get-go he called me “The Kras.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Friday Host Dave Iverson:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTwo shows that were memorable for me: our program on kindness, which in turn prompted a show on apologies. What was striking to me was how each of those programs seemed to strike a real chord with listeners. It reminded me that as important as it is for Forum to cover policy issues, people’s lives, deep down, aren’t really about issues. What sticks inside us is often more basic. And getting a chance to hear stories about everyday moments that were turning points in someone’s life, in this case an act of kindness or an an apology, can be as important as our more usual fare. It’s the same reason we’re drawn to NPR’s \u003ca href=\"http://storycorps.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StoryCorps\u003c/a>. We all have a hunger to hear a good story, one that resonates within us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Senior Producer Dan Zoll:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Forum team is still talking about Michael Krasny’s fascinating interview with \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201302280930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boxer Mike Tyson\u003c/a>, who was refreshingly open and willing to address tough questions and uncomfortable subjects, including the time he discovered his ex-wife Robin Givens with Brad Pitt. Tyson may be the only guest to have called Michael “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/mike-tyson-calls-michael\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Kraz-ster\u003c/a>.” The former heavyweight champ also talked passionately about his love of pigeons, the dangers of economic inequality, and military history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another program that stands out was our show on Propositions B and C on San Francisco’s November ballot. At Forum we take great pride in our election coverage. This year, there were not many high-profile issues on local ballots, but one exception was these two measures, which involved a proposal for the construction of a high-rise on the Embarcadero waterfront. Host Dave Iverson did a stellar job of breaking down a complex and contentious topic. Our panel was knowledgeable, passionate and well-matched, and featured one politician and one activist on each side. I think it was one of those shows that was both a service to voters and engaging radio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Judy Campbell: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWe did a really fun show on the “Magic and Mystery of the Bay Area’s Fog.” It was great to hear so many people chime in with their love, and their hate, for the fog, including a bar pilot who guided ships through the bay, who said that navigating a boat in the fog is like driving down a highway with the hood up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another favorite was our show marking the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Michael talked with four Californians whose lives were profoundly affected by the war — a woman who lost her son, a veteran of the war, an Iraqi translator who now lives in San Jose and a woman with small children whose husband was deployed. It was a very personal and illuminating look back at the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Producer Irene Noguchi\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMy choice is “\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201308161000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Case for Kindness\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for this show stemmed from a commencement speech that short story writer George Saunders gave at Syracuse University. Instead of doling out witty career advice, he asked graduates to do one thing: be kinder. We asked our listeners for their stories of kindness, or times when they wished they’d been kinder. I was fortunate to answer the phones that day, and some of the stories nearly brought me to tears. (Some of the best stories: A concentration camp survivor who remembered a starving child sharing food with him, a woman whose childhood bullies called her years later to apologize, and an alcoholic who tracked down his long-lost daughter — also an addict — and took her to Alcoholics Anonymous with him.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My second pick is our show on efforts to save African elephants. Researching this show was both informative and heartbreaking. We get to do a lot of in-depth research on the topics we cover, and for this show, I was talking to world experts who described both the caring nature and gentleness of the elephants they studied, and the horror of elephants being slaughtered for their tusks over the decades. At this rate, I wonder if my future grandchildren will ever see a wild African elephant; it’s still hard for me to imagine any species we’ve grown up with no longer existing. We have to cover many difficult topics in our field, but this one reminded me of fragility of our ecosystem and how easily a species can disappear completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Online Producer Amanda Stupi:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI was really pleased with the show we did in the wake of the shooting of Santa Rosa teenager Andy Lopez. For me, this incident crystallized the intersection of many issues: police and community relations, the reach of the gun lobby, the racial and class division in the North Bay. The latter is of particular importance to me, as I grew up in the North Bay, and am always amazed at how it is overlooked by the media. All too often our region is grouped together and dismissed as “the liberal Bay Area,” but in truth, the communities in the Bay Area differ widely, each with its own strengths, personality, and problems. For me this show and the Andy Lopez incident shone a light on the divisions of a community that often go underreported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just about every show in our \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/priced-out/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Priced Out\u003c/a> series has left me pondering a big-picture question, such as, “Is rent control really good for the rental market?” “Does anyone have a ‘right’ to live in a certain city?” and “What is gentrification?” But the biggest question surrounding the Bay Area’s lack of affordable housing is “What’s the solution?” Our show on the topic is one that has stayed with me months later.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges\u003c/a> has recommended revoking CCSF's credentials later this year because of what it calls persistent administrative and financial shortcomings. Loss of accreditation would block the state funding upon which CCSF depends and force it to close. CCSF serves about 80,000 students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court yesterday, attorneys for the city and two teachers’ unions argued that the practices the accrediting agency denied CCSF due process. Parties in both suits want Karnow to impose an injunction that would block the loss of accreditation; the city also wants the judge to order the agency to conduct a new accreditation assessment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Bezemek, an attorney representing the California Federation of Teachers and the City College teachers’ union, American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, told Karnow that the ACCJC acted unlawfully in its decision-making process. CBS SF Bay Area reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Bezemek] said “a significant violation” occurred when a commission staff report found 19 deficiencies with the school and the commission then upped that number to 30 at a June meeting without notifying City College of the additional deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also cited other problems, including an alleged conflict of interest in allowing commission President Barbara Beno to appoint her husband to the team that evaluated City College.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bezemek also said the accrediting agency's’s decision resulted in students leaving City College out of fear that the school may close, and that enrollment was down by as much as 30 percent since last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But accrediting commission attorney Philip Ward said revoking CCSF's credentials was necessary to bring about change. “There has to be major reorganizing decisions at City College,” Ward said. “Nobody wants to see City College disaccredited. ... We’re trying to make sure it gets as good as it can be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karnow will decide whether the plaintiffs have standing to bring forward the lawsuit on Monday, when both sides will return to court. It is not clear when Karnow will decide whether to issue the preliminary injunctions. If granted, they would remain in place until a trial can be held in the case.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.accjc.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges\u003c/a> has recommended revoking CCSF's credentials later this year because of what it calls persistent administrative and financial shortcomings. Loss of accreditation would block the state funding upon which CCSF depends and force it to close. CCSF serves about 80,000 students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court yesterday, attorneys for the city and two teachers’ unions argued that the practices the accrediting agency denied CCSF due process. Parties in both suits want Karnow to impose an injunction that would block the loss of accreditation; the city also wants the judge to order the agency to conduct a new accreditation assessment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Bezemek, an attorney representing the California Federation of Teachers and the City College teachers’ union, American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, told Karnow that the ACCJC acted unlawfully in its decision-making process.

But the survey also says 9 percent of us will spend the night with \"no one/inanimate object.\" That's the same percentage as those who say they'll be whooping it up with friends.

Their ratings of the year gone by? Less than glowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the public thought of 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOOD YEAR OR GOOD RIDDANCE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Americans rate their own experience in 2013 more positively than negatively, but when asked to assess the year for the United States or the world at large, things turn sour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—All told, 32 percent say 2013 was a better year for them than 2012, while 20 percent say it was worse and 46 percent say the two years were really about the same. Young people were more apt to see improvement: 40 percent of people under age 30 called 2013 a better year than 2012, compared with 25 percent of people age 65 or older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—The public splits evenly on how the year turned out for the country, 25 percent saying it was better than 2012, 25 percent saying it was worse. As with most questions about the state of affairs in the U.S. these days, there's a sharp partisan divide. Democrats are more apt to say the U.S. turned out better in 2013 than 2012 (37 percent) than are Republicans (17 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Thinking about the world at large, 30 percent say 2013 was worse than 2012, while just 20 percent say it was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outlook for the new year is positive: 49 percent think their own fortunes will improve in 2014, 14 percent are anticipating the new year to be a downgrade from the old. Thirty-four percent say they don't expect much to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WHERE'S THE PARTY?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Americans — 54 percent — say they'll be ringing in the new year at home, while 1 in 5 are heading to a friend's or family member's house. Only 8 percent say they'll go to a bar, restaurant or other organized event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Younger Americans are least apt to spend the holiday at home: 39 percent of those under age 30 will celebrate at home, 33 percent at someone else's home, 13 percent at a bar or other venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Regardless of their own time zone, nearly 6 in 10 say they'll watch at least some of the celebration from New York City's Times Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COUNTDOWN COMPANIONS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever they're spending the holiday, most Americans prefer the company of family. Asked with whom they want to be when the clock strikes midnight, 83 percent name a family member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—On a holiday often sealed with a kiss, nearly 4 in 10 say they most want to be next to their spouse, and 13 percent cite a significant other or romantic interest as a preferred companion. Parents like to be with their children, more than the children like to be with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Less conventional choices: 2 percent cite their pets, 3 percent God, Jesus or their religious congregation, and less than 1 percent said they wanted to ring it in with their co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Of course, some opt out altogether: 18 percent say they're not planning to celebrate on New Year's Eve, and 9 percent say there's no one with whom they'd like to party, preferring instead their pillow, TiVo or their own thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WHAT MATTERED IN NEWS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implementation of the health care law topped the list of the most important news stories of 2013, with 26 percent citing it. In an Associated Press survey of news directors and editors, 45 of 144 journalists surveyed called the health care rollout their top story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the AP-Times Square poll, the death of Nelson Mandela occurred as the poll was underway. It rose quickly, with 8 percent naming it as the most important news of the year, matching the share citing the federal government's budget difficulties or shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget fight, which led to a partial shutdown of the federal government in October, was rated extremely or very important by 60 percent of Americans, and prompted rare bipartisan agreement. About two-thirds in each major party, 65 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats, rated it highly important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority said the Boston Marathon bombings were extremely or very important, and 47 percent considered the national debate over gun laws that important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POP CULTURE: MOSTLY FORGETTABLE MOMENTS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miley Cyrus's MTV Video Music Awards performance. The launch of \"Lean In.\" Apologies from Paula Deen and Lance Armstrong. Walter White's exit and the entrance of the Netflix series \"House of Cards.\" What do they all have in common? More Americans say these pop culture moments were more forgettable than memorable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one pop culture moment was deemed more memorable than forgettable: The birth of Prince George to Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Among men, 64 percent called the debate on work-life balance sparked by the book \"Lean In\" and other writings forgettable. About half of women agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—About 1 in 5 younger Americans said the launch of original programming through streaming services like Netflix or Hulu was a memorable moment, about doubling the share among those age 50 and up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Residents of the West were more likely than others to consider memorable the San Francisco \"Batkid\" (31 percent) or the final season of the series \"Breaking Bad\" (19 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP-Times Square New Year's Eve Poll was conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications from Dec. 5-9 and involved online interviews with 1,367 adults. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents. The poll is a cooperative effort between AP and the organizers of the Times Square New Year's Eve Celebration, the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment. The Alliance is a non-profit group that seeks to promote Times Square, and Countdown Entertainment represents the owners of One Times Square and the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey was conducted using KnowledgePanel, a probability-based Internet panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Respondents to the survey were first selected randomly, using phone or mail survey methods, and were later interviewed online. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn't otherwise have access to the Internet were provided with the ability to access the Internet at no cost to them.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the survey also says 9 percent of us will spend the night with \"no one/inanimate object.\" That's the same percentage as those who say they'll be whooping it up with friends. My surmise: There must be some great inanimate objects out there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three percent say they'll be spending the night with \"God/Jesus/religious congregation/fellow believers,\" while 2 percent will be spending it with their \"dog/cat/other pet.\" The poll doesn't say how many of those other pets are iguanas or tropical fish. Bear in mind the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, so we don't really know whether pets or religious activities will be most popular on the eve of 2014. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the rest, the survey finds that nearly half of Americans (46 percent) think 2013 was about the same as 2012. A similar percentage (49 percent) think 2014 will be better than this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And last, there is a little local news in the poll: Respondents rated San Francisco's one-day \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/14/miles-batkid-make-a-wish-foundation\" target=\"_blank\">Batkid celebration\u003c/a> in November as the No. 3 pop culture story of the year, after the birth of Britain's \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/12/24/royal_baby_madness_prince_george_alexander_louis_was_the_story_of_2013_now.html\" target=\"_blank\">Royal Baby\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.oprah.com/own_tv/onc/lance-armstrong-one.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lance Armstrong's doping confession\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their ratings of the year gone by? Less than glowing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the public thought of 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOOD YEAR OR GOOD RIDDANCE?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Americans rate their own experience in 2013 more positively than negatively, but when asked to assess the year for the United States or the world at large, things turn sour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—All told, 32 percent say 2013 was a better year for them than 2012, while 20 percent say it was worse and 46 percent say the two years were really about the same. Young people were more apt to see improvement: 40 percent of people under age 30 called 2013 a better year than 2012, compared with 25 percent of people age 65 or older.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—The public splits evenly on how the year turned out for the country, 25 percent saying it was better than 2012, 25 percent saying it was worse. As with most questions about the state of affairs in the U.S. these days, there's a sharp partisan divide. Democrats are more apt to say the U.S. turned out better in 2013 than 2012 (37 percent) than are Republicans (17 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Thinking about the world at large, 30 percent say 2013 was worse than 2012, while just 20 percent say it was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outlook for the new year is positive: 49 percent think their own fortunes will improve in 2014, 14 percent are anticipating the new year to be a downgrade from the old. Thirty-four percent say they don't expect much to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WHERE'S THE PARTY?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Americans — 54 percent — say they'll be ringing in the new year at home, while 1 in 5 are heading to a friend's or family member's house. Only 8 percent say they'll go to a bar, restaurant or other organized event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Younger Americans are least apt to spend the holiday at home: 39 percent of those under age 30 will celebrate at home, 33 percent at someone else's home, 13 percent at a bar or other venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Regardless of their own time zone, nearly 6 in 10 say they'll watch at least some of the celebration from New York City's Times Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COUNTDOWN COMPANIONS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wherever they're spending the holiday, most Americans prefer the company of family. Asked with whom they want to be when the clock strikes midnight, 83 percent name a family member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—On a holiday often sealed with a kiss, nearly 4 in 10 say they most want to be next to their spouse, and 13 percent cite a significant other or romantic interest as a preferred companion. Parents like to be with their children, more than the children like to be with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Less conventional choices: 2 percent cite their pets, 3 percent God, Jesus or their religious congregation, and less than 1 percent said they wanted to ring it in with their co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Of course, some opt out altogether: 18 percent say they're not planning to celebrate on New Year's Eve, and 9 percent say there's no one with whom they'd like to party, preferring instead their pillow, TiVo or their own thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WHAT MATTERED IN NEWS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implementation of the health care law topped the list of the most important news stories of 2013, with 26 percent citing it. In an Associated Press survey of news directors and editors, 45 of 144 journalists surveyed called the health care rollout their top story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the AP-Times Square poll, the death of Nelson Mandela occurred as the poll was underway. It rose quickly, with 8 percent naming it as the most important news of the year, matching the share citing the federal government's budget difficulties or shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget fight, which led to a partial shutdown of the federal government in October, was rated extremely or very important by 60 percent of Americans, and prompted rare bipartisan agreement. About two-thirds in each major party, 65 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats, rated it highly important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A majority said the Boston Marathon bombings were extremely or very important, and 47 percent considered the national debate over gun laws that important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POP CULTURE: MOSTLY FORGETTABLE MOMENTS\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miley Cyrus's MTV Video Music Awards performance. The launch of \"Lean In.\" Apologies from Paula Deen and Lance Armstrong. Walter White's exit and the entrance of the Netflix series \"House of Cards.\" What do they all have in common? More Americans say these pop culture moments were more forgettable than memorable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one pop culture moment was deemed more memorable than forgettable: The birth of Prince George to Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Among men, 64 percent called the debate on work-life balance sparked by the book \"Lean In\" and other writings forgettable. About half of women agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—About 1 in 5 younger Americans said the launch of original programming through streaming services like Netflix or Hulu was a memorable moment, about doubling the share among those age 50 and up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>—Residents of the West were more likely than others to consider memorable the San Francisco \"Batkid\" (31 percent) or the final season of the series \"Breaking Bad\" (19 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP-Times Square New Year's Eve Poll was conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications from Dec. 5-9 and involved online interviews with 1,367 adults. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for all respondents. The poll is a cooperative effort between AP and the organizers of the Times Square New Year's Eve Celebration, the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment. The Alliance is a non-profit group that seeks to promote Times Square, and Countdown Entertainment represents the owners of One Times Square and the New Year's Eve Ball Drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
