The crash at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday killed two 16-year-old girls from China and injured dozens of others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new details helped shed light on the final moments of the airliner as the crew tried desperately to climb back into the sky, and confirmed what survivors and other witnesses said they saw: a slow-moving airliner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/BqNGo7V2qXQ\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pilots normally try to land at the target speed, in this case 137 knots, plus an additional five more knots, said Bob Coffman, an American Airlines captain who has flown 777s.

It ended by asking that the Public Safety Committee collect more information, and it put the matter on the council \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/citycouncil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda\u003c/a> for May 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin said the license plate-readers have brought benefits to his town. “Our crime crate has gone down since we started talking about it,” he said. “Whether we can attribute all that to the cameras, I can’t say, but I think a lot of it was due to that. The biggest impact has been as a deterrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those discussions started in 2008. More serious crimes (the ones that fall into Part I, the most serious category of FBI statistics) have dropped by 30 percent since then, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that Tiburon sees a lot of violence. “We were getting people breaking into cars and stealing iPads and cell phones, and getting into garages,” Cronin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tiburon installed the cameras, theft from vehicles dropped from 50 in 2007 to 14 in 2012. The number of stolen cars went from 11 to two in that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous crime documented by the cameras was the theft of a bright yellow Lamborghini, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Teen-s-tale-of-car-theft-may-be-tip-of-iceberg-3536490.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> worth $200,000, from celebrity chef Guy Fieri on March 8, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate readers recorded the car entering Tiburon and then leaving it, though it was months before police arrested a suspect in the case—17-year-old \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/mad-max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Wade\u003c/a>, who grew up in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate-reading system cost $113,141 to purchase and $9,889 to operate, Cronin said, and he considers it well worth the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cronin acknowledged that Piedmont is in a different situation. “Piedmont is dealing with more serious crimes, such as home invasions,” he said. That’s where someone breaks into your house even though you are at home, peacefully watching “Mad Men” or taking a shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers are not uncommon. Mostly they are installed in patrol cars. Putting them on poles along the street is a fairly recent innovation, though Cronin said Tiburon was not the first to hit on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has attracted some opposition, particularly from civil liberty and privacy advocates who fear what could be done with all the data the cameras gather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is particularly concerned that the Piedmont proposal includes keeping the data for 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How, where and with whom I spend my time is my business,” she told KQED’s Stephanie Martin. “Comprehensive location tracking, which is made possible by advances in technology such as these license-plate readers, reveal all kinds of intimate details about a person’s life. Visits to the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the gay bar, the union hall, the abortion clinic and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the surveillance equipment available to law enforcement agents, they can already assemble a pretty detailed picture of your movements, Lye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon decided to hang onto its data for only 30 days, precisely because of these concerns, Cronin said. He doesn’t think the information is very useful after that time. “I wanted to investigate crimes reported to the police,” he said. “Not a lot of crimes are reported after 30 days.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It ended by asking that the Public Safety Committee collect more information, and it put the matter on the council \u003ca href=\"http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/citycouncil/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda\u003c/a> for May 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin said the license plate-readers have brought benefits to his town. “Our crime crate has gone down since we started talking about it,” he said. “Whether we can attribute all that to the cameras, I can’t say, but I think a lot of it was due to that. The biggest impact has been as a deterrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those discussions started in 2008. More serious crimes (the ones that fall into Part I, the most serious category of FBI statistics) have dropped by 30 percent since then, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not that Tiburon sees a lot of violence. “We were getting people breaking into cars and stealing iPads and cell phones, and getting into garages,” Cronin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tiburon installed the cameras, theft from vehicles dropped from 50 in 2007 to 14 in 2012. The number of stolen cars went from 11 to two in that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous crime documented by the cameras was the theft of a bright yellow Lamborghini, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Teen-s-tale-of-car-theft-may-be-tip-of-iceberg-3536490.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly\u003c/a> worth $200,000, from celebrity chef Guy Fieri on March 8, 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate readers recorded the car entering Tiburon and then leaving it, though it was months before police arrested a suspect in the case—17-year-old \u003ca href=\"http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/mad-max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Max Wade\u003c/a>, who grew up in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plate-reading system cost $113,141 to purchase and $9,889 to operate, Cronin said, and he considers it well worth the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cronin acknowledged that Piedmont is in a different situation. “Piedmont is dealing with more serious crimes, such as home invasions,” he said. That’s where someone breaks into your house even though you are at home, peacefully watching “Mad Men” or taking a shower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>License-plate readers are not uncommon. Mostly they are installed in patrol cars. Putting them on poles along the street is a fairly recent innovation, though Cronin said Tiburon was not the first to hit on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has attracted some opposition, particularly from civil liberty and privacy advocates who fear what could be done with all the data the cameras gather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is particularly concerned that the Piedmont proposal includes keeping the data for 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How, where and with whom I spend my time is my business,” she told KQED’s Stephanie Martin. “Comprehensive location tracking, which is made possible by advances in technology such as these license-plate readers, reveal all kinds of intimate details about a person’s life. Visits to the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the gay bar, the union hall, the abortion clinic and so on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With all the surveillance equipment available to law enforcement agents, they can already assemble a pretty detailed picture of your movements, Lye said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tiburon decided to hang onto its data for only 30 days, precisely because of these concerns, Cronin said. He doesn’t think the information is very useful after that time. “I wanted to investigate crimes reported to the police,” he said. “Not a lot of crimes are reported after 30 days.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She’s been up in the tree since the end of January to try to block construction of a four-lane, six-mile, $290 million highway bypass around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple weeks back, I drove north on U.S. 101 through Marin and Sonoma counties and up into Mendocino to interview Warbler (also known as Amanda Senseman) for a journalism class assignment. I brought along a camera (I’m a photojournalist first) and sound recording equipment (which I was just learning to use). And when I got to Warbler’s tree, and she agreed that it was OK, I climbed the 71 feet to her platform–“two rooms,” she calls it–overlooking 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is she up there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://www.kqed.org/assets/slideshow/tree-sitter/_files/iframe.html?noscale=620x503\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"620\" height=\"503\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To build the bypass, Caltrans will need to cut down trees along the superhighway-size right-of-way, and that could harm migratory bird species. It will need to fill wetlands along the route, the construction could impact spawning streams for endangered coho salmon and steelhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has planned the bypass for decades, and says it’s necessary to allow through traffic to avoid the bottleneck of downtown Willits, where U.S. 101 narrows to two lanes. There’s debate about whether there’s enough traffic through town to justify the project and whether diverting traffic away from downtown will help or hurt the local economy.

Then comes along Fisker, which is a company that was founded by Henrick Fisker, who was a well-known designer for BMW and Aston Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he designed beautiful vehicles, and he was able to also get a lot of financing from wealthy investors to start a company to make a beautiful plug-in hybrid model.

My bicycle offers me a level of flexibility and independence that the passenger seat of a car could just never provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when I heard that BART was \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2012/news20120614b.aspx?source=hp46\">experimenting with lifting its restrictions on bicycles\u003c/a>, I was elated. And really skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/guide/bikes/index.aspx\">BART bans bikes\u003c/a> during rush hours in commute directions. That’s for a reason. If you ride BART in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, you know that most of the trains are crowded. On some trains, finding a place to stand is challenge enough, let alone a place for me and my bicycle.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During commute, the trains are already at crush load,” Antonette Bryant told me. Bryant is president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 and a station agent. She says that while most cyclists are courteous and respectful of other passengers, she worries about those who are not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you come to a car that’s crowded and you’re on a bike, you’re not supposed to get on that car. I’ve witnessed, as an agent and a rider, people forcing their way on the trains, with bicycles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Beraldo, of BART’s Customer Access Department, hopes that cyclists know what they are doing. Every Friday in August, passengers will be allowed to bring bicycles on board trains at all times. I asked Steve how this is going to work, when commute-hour trains are already packed with passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really gonna emphasize that this is an experiment.
