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.

Baseball is also stepping up \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/12/buster-posey-ray-fosse-baseball-collision-ban\" target=\"_blank\">player protections\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, the most consistently engaging story of 2013 in Northern California sports was the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/28/hopeful-sacramento-kings-fans-are-whale-watching/\">battle to keep the Kings NBA franchise in Sacramento\u003c/a>.

(Kevin Berne/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When you work in radio, you listen to a lot of it. This is simultaneously a perk of the job and an occupational hazard — one’s memory merges shows and guests, and too often we become blasé about interviews that give listeners \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/700000/driveway-moments\">driveway moments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, when you produce a show, you tend to be overly critical of it and engage in a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking. You get mad at yourself because a guest was too tepid, a topic wasn’t discussed enough, or you let an off-topic call on air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that is to say, if those of us who work in radio recommend a show, chances are it warrants listening. So as the Forum staff gets ready to change the calendar over to 2014, here are shows that have stayed with us, and bubble as highlights of 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Host Michael Krasny:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI am still fascinated by the range and intensity of responses we received for the hour we did on the Bay Area’s attitude toward dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 20th anniversary show I did with Dave Iverson was especially memorable. I thought Dave Iverson was especially good at getting some nugget narratives out of me and I was surprised in a good way at the cuts Senior Producer Dan Zoll put together for the hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most memorable interviews of the year were Justice Sonia Sotomayor and boxer Mike Tyson. 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",

(Kevin Berne/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When you work in radio, you listen to a lot of it. This is simultaneously a perk of the job and an occupational hazard — one’s memory merges shows and guests, and too often we become blasé about interviews that give listeners \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/700000/driveway-moments\">driveway moments\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, when you produce a show, you tend to be overly critical of it and engage in a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking. You get mad at yourself because a guest was too tepid, a topic wasn’t discussed enough, or you let an off-topic call on air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that is to say, if those of us who work in radio recommend a show, chances are it warrants listening. So as the Forum staff gets ready to change the calendar over to 2014, here are shows that have stayed with us, and bubble as highlights of 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> Host Michael Krasny:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nI am still fascinated by the range and intensity of responses we received for the hour we did on the Bay Area’s attitude toward dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 20th anniversary show I did with Dave Iverson was especially memorable. I thought Dave Iverson was especially good at getting some nugget narratives out of me and I was surprised in a good way at the cuts Senior Producer Dan Zoll put together for the hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
