The city's first physically separated green bike lanes on Market Street are now being extended, and new ones are being added on Alemany and Laguna Honda boulevards. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbg.com/2011/05/10/rise-bike-culture\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/hunger-strike-for-ethnic-studies/Content?oid=2630287\">Hunger Strike for Ethnic Studies\u003c/a> (East Bay Express)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Zoila Adaljiza Lara-Cea was sprawled on her stomach on a grassy knoll next to the UC Berkeley's chancellor's office last week under a makeshift shelter spray-painted with the words: \"Stop the Cuts to Ethnic Studies.\" While she crammed for final exams, others engaged in debate with a passerby on the importance of ethnic studies. Lara-Cea and the four other hunger strikers hadn't eaten solid food since April 26 to protest faculty and staff reassignments, layoffs, and reductions in hours in the small UC Berkeley department that grew out of the Third World Strike forty years ago. \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/hunger-strike-for-ethnic-studies/Content?oid=2630287\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/2011-05-11/news/single-dating-san-francisco-ashley-harrell/\">Tales of Strange Romance: Single Life in San Francisco\u003c/a> (SF Weekly)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>...At a time when more Americans than ever are remaining single through their 30s and beyond, this city has become a gathering place for the unattached. Some are complacent in their solitude, while others remain solo based on lofty romantic ambitions...For several weeks, SF Weekly has been collecting tales of romantic takeoffs and turbulent landings in San Francisco. Some are funny. Some are deeply depressing. Each demonstrates a little something about what it's like to be single here, now, in a city that feels so much like drinks at the airport. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/2011-05-11/news/single-dating-san-francisco-ashley-harrell/\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But this explanation should help: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In the table below the three plots, we are providing two numbers for each of the isotopes. The first is a standard concentration unit of Becquerel per liter (Bq/L) which describes the number of particles decaying over the period of one second in one liter. \u003cem>For the general public, we have converted this number to an exposure dose per liter of air breathed (or water consumed for the rain water measure). The number in parentheses is the number of years of breathing the air (or the number of liters of water consumed) that would be needed for a person to receive the radiation exposure of a single round trip flight from San Francisco to Washington D.C.\u003c/em> (0.05 mSv). \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So, for example, on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/RainWaterSampling\">rain water page\u003c/a>, scroll down to the last date on the chart, March 26, then look in the column for the isotope I-131 (\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-131\">Iodine 131\u003c/a>). There, you’ll see in parentheses the number 728, which means you’d have to drink 728 liters of water containing that level of Iodine 131 to consume the same amount of radiation you’d be exposed to when flying in an airplane cross-country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meaning: We’re still a long way from dangerous, at least in these parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can take heart — or not — from this quote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“There is nothing of concern here,” Vetter said. “As long as Japan does not get another 9.0 earthquake “… there is no risk to California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They do not pose long-term risk, so long as the Japan workers are able to shut it down \u003ca href=\"http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110328/ts_afp/japandisasteraccidentnuclear_20110328125654\">eventually\u003c/a>,” he said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We here at UC Berkeley offer our sincere condolences to everyone who has been personally affected by this tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a brutal and violent attack on an individual who has devoted herself to public service is deeply regrettable. It calls upon us as an academic community to stop and ponder the climate in which such an act can be contemplated, even by a mind that is profoundly disturbed. A climate in which demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated can lead to such a tragedy. I believe that it is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons. This same mean-spirited xenophobia played a major role in the defeat of the Dream Act by legislators in Washington, leaving many exceptionally talented and deserving young people, including our own undocumented students, painfully in limbo with regard to their futures in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On our own campus, and throughout all the campuses of the University of California, we must continue to work toward a climate of equity and inclusion for all. We must be vigilant to condemn hate speech and acts of vandalism on our campuses by those wanting to promote enmity. We must work to support dialogue about our differences and eschew expressions of demonization of others, including virulent attacks on Israel, anti-Muslim graffiti, racism towards African-Americans, Chicano/Latinos and other underrepresented minority groups, and homophobic acts. Continuing to support our principles of community will ensure a better and safer campus. We must do this now so that our students, as future leaders of this great country, will continue to set the standard for a better and safer nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert J. Birgeneau\u003cbr>\nChancellor, UC Berkeley\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nWell, no words minced there. Reaction from the right, as one might expect, has been swift and not so complimentary. \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/11/mental-illness-vitriol-politics-blame-acts-crazed-gunman/\">Fox News\u003c/a> has picked up on the story, and the right-leaning blogosphere is having a field day. Some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-kissel/uc-berkeley-chancellor-bl_b_807616.html\">Adam Kissel\u003c/a> of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nChancellor Birgeneau's e-mail is very ill-considered for a variety of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, there is so far no evidence that a \"climate of demonization,\" \"mean-spririted xenophobia,\" or \"hateful speech\" had anything to do with alleged killer Jared Loughner's apparent decision to try to assassinate Giffords and kill or injure many others. The supposition that political expression created a climate that led Loughner to his choice is an idea that seems to have sprung from whole cloth out of the minds of people who likely were upset beforehand about \"rhetoric\" and \"hateful\" speech, including, apparently, Chancellor Birgeneau. Nevertheless, it has quickly become the driving force in the national discussion about the shooting...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birgeneau's e-mail, if taken to its logical conclusion, seems to imply that minority groups and undocumented students at UC Berkeley might become violent if people in the campus community do not support the DREAM Act and if other examples of \"hateful speech\" go unchallenged on campus. While he avoids an outright call for censorship of certain opinions--such as opposition to the DREAM Act--he makes it clear that he would not be surprised if the voicing of these opinions led to another incident like that in Arizona. Birgenau thus implies that such expression is therefore both morally wrong and likely to endanger people's lives through its very utterance.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the David Horowitz Freedom Center's \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/01/12/genius-california-educator-explains-the-arizona-shooting/\">NewsReal Blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cem>Genius California Educator Explains the Arizona Shooting\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another alleged educator, on the payroll of the beleaguered California taxpayer, has weighed in with Solomon-like wisdom on the matter of the Arizona shooting. Although why the chancellor of the University of California, one Robert J. Birgeneau, feels the need to pontificate on the issue remains a mystery. Perhaps his taxpayer-funded use of office time could have been better spent considering how to extricate his campus from the clutches of union-represented professors who are angry at having to wait until age 55 to retire, instead of 50… or the myriad of other problems facing the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no, he used his time, office, and taxpayer money to produce this letter, addressed to all members of the campus community at Berkeley, in which he goes on a nasty political rant even while condemning – you guessed it – nasty political rants! Of course, he doesn’t quote any Right-wing “rants” – he just snidely condemns anyone who disagrees with him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What even makes this worth commenting upon is the fact that it is not a partisan politician, a media pundit, or even a so-called objective journalist spewing this nonsense. It is a paid government employee, using his power and position to make statements to those under his authority (employees and students) that are (a) vile in their own hatefulness [IRONY ALERT!] and (b) politically exclusive – in other words, conservatives (or those who disagree with him in any way) are not really welcome at the UC. Oh, and (c): He butts in to another state’s business, which is particularly rich, since California’s in a far bigger craphole than Arizona in just about every way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailyplunge.com/2011/01/a-rebuttal-to-a-statement-on-the-arizona-shootings/\">The Daily Plunge\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nWhy is it that whenever something goes awry the first instinct of “progressives” is to look for ways to infringe on our liberties? The tragic shooting in Arizona perpetrated by a lunatic has become the opportunity du jour for a raft of leftists to call for a clamp-down on free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my favorites comes from UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau in his statement on the Arizona shooting...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where to begin? Well, let’s start with the climate in which the “demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated.” That “climate” is called “free speech,” protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It’s the law of the land and I’m sorry that Mr. Birgeneau doesn’t appreciate the fact that citizens have every right to demonize and offend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My simple message to Mr. Birgeneau and others of his ilk who would love to, by force of law, tell me what I can and cannot say or believe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironic, isn’t it, that Mr. Birgeneau bemoans the climate of demonization in America, and then demonizes those who believe that illegal immigration is illegal, even though illegal immigration is, in fact, illegal. The law abiders, for lack of a better term, are mean-spirited xenophobes! According to Mr. Birgeneau, open and rigorous debate equals hateful speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So let me get this straight… We’re supposed to be tolerant, but there are certain things we shouldn’t tolerate (a.k.a., any political position with which Mr. Birgeneau disagrees). I get it. It reminds me of a childhood friend who used to make up the rules as we went along to whatever game we were playing to ensure his victory. “Okay, that’s HORSE,” I’d say as the ball swished through the net. “That’s great,” he’d reply. “But we’re playing that the first person to HORSE loses.” Okay then.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not hard to imagine many denizens of this part of the blogosphere having the same reaction as one commenter on \u003ca href=\"http://weaselzippers.us/\">Weasel Zippers\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"UC at Berkeley. That's where I quit reading.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, reaction closer to home isn't necessarily glowing either. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local-beat/UC-Berkeley-Chancellor-Interjects-Politics-Into-Arizona-Tragedy-113364259.html\">NBC Bay Area\u003c/a> put it this way today: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>UC Berkeley Chancellor Interjects Politics Into Arizona Tragedy\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leave it to a city known nationally more for protesting Marines and debating whether to honor a WikiLeaks' leaker than being home to a world class public university to turn the tragedy in Arizona into a political issue.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The UC watchdog site \u003ca href=\"http://cloudminder.blogspot.com/2011/01/cal-chancellor-uses-arizona-shooting-to.html\">Cloudminder\u003c/a>, written by university alumni, also criticized the missive:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nCal Chancellor Birgeneau's recent press release tying the Arizona shootings to the Dream Act made us cringe a little, here's why:\u003cbr>\nIt felt like he was attempting to exploit a national tragedy for the sake of political posturing about the Dream Act for popularity/publicity sake- and it was not necessary. ..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birgeneau also would be more credible on the Dream Act issue and his statements like: \"we must continue to work toward a climate of equity and inclusion for all\" if he also directly addressed current demographics on faculty and staff in light of recent and upcoming lay offs, terminations. Where are the numbers on that right now, what is the current state of diversity for faculty and staff at Cal? Why isn't he addressing it directly as Operation Exodus rolls along? Why hasn't this page or this page been updated with current numbers on all race and gender demographics related to workforce diversity? That is the press release he should be distributing regularly and widely. If that info exists - one has to dig pretty hard to find it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Cal press release tying the Arizona shooting with the Dream Act today seems ill timed as victims are still in hospital fighting for their lives and the dead have yet to be memorialized or buried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make the case - but not in this way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Much more about this, I'm fairly certain, to come...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2010/05/07_immigration.shtml\">Chancellor Birgeneau denounces Arizona immigration bill\u003c/a> (UC Berkeley press release, May 7, 2010)\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\n",

We here at UC Berkeley offer our sincere condolences to everyone who has been personally affected by this tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such a brutal and violent attack on an individual who has devoted herself to public service is deeply regrettable. It calls upon us as an academic community to stop and ponder the climate in which such an act can be contemplated, even by a mind that is profoundly disturbed. A climate in which demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated can lead to such a tragedy. I believe that it is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons. This same mean-spirited xenophobia played a major role in the defeat of the Dream Act by legislators in Washington, leaving many exceptionally talented and deserving young people, including our own undocumented students, painfully in limbo with regard to their futures in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On our own campus, and throughout all the campuses of the University of California, we must continue to work toward a climate of equity and inclusion for all. We must be vigilant to condemn hate speech and acts of vandalism on our campuses by those wanting to promote enmity. We must work to support dialogue about our differences and eschew expressions of demonization of others, including virulent attacks on Israel, anti-Muslim graffiti, racism towards African-Americans, Chicano/Latinos and other underrepresented minority groups, and homophobic acts. Continuing to support our principles of community will ensure a better and safer campus. We must do this now so that our students, as future leaders of this great country, will continue to set the standard for a better and safer nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert J. Birgeneau\u003cbr>\nChancellor, UC Berkeley\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nWell, no words minced there. Reaction from the right, as one might expect, has been swift and not so complimentary. \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/11/mental-illness-vitriol-politics-blame-acts-crazed-gunman/\">Fox News\u003c/a> has picked up on the story, and the right-leaning blogosphere is having a field day. Some examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-kissel/uc-berkeley-chancellor-bl_b_807616.html\">Adam Kissel\u003c/a> of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nChancellor Birgeneau's e-mail is very ill-considered for a variety of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, there is so far no evidence that a \"climate of demonization,\" \"mean-spririted xenophobia,\" or \"hateful speech\" had anything to do with alleged killer Jared Loughner's apparent decision to try to assassinate Giffords and kill or injure many others. The supposition that political expression created a climate that led Loughner to his choice is an idea that seems to have sprung from whole cloth out of the minds of people who likely were upset beforehand about \"rhetoric\" and \"hateful\" speech, including, apparently, Chancellor Birgeneau. Nevertheless, it has quickly become the driving force in the national discussion about the shooting...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Birgeneau's e-mail, if taken to its logical conclusion, seems to imply that minority groups and undocumented students at UC Berkeley might become violent if people in the campus community do not support the DREAM Act and if other examples of \"hateful speech\" go unchallenged on campus. While he avoids an outright call for censorship of certain opinions--such as opposition to the DREAM Act--he makes it clear that he would not be surprised if the voicing of these opinions led to another incident like that in Arizona. Birgenau thus implies that such expression is therefore both morally wrong and likely to endanger people's lives through its very utterance.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the David Horowitz Freedom Center's \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/01/12/genius-california-educator-explains-the-arizona-shooting/\">NewsReal Blog\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cem>Genius California Educator Explains the Arizona Shooting\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another alleged educator, on the payroll of the beleaguered California taxpayer, has weighed in with Solomon-like wisdom on the matter of the Arizona shooting. Although why the chancellor of the University of California, one Robert J. Birgeneau, feels the need to pontificate on the issue remains a mystery. Perhaps his taxpayer-funded use of office time could have been better spent considering how to extricate his campus from the clutches of union-represented professors who are angry at having to wait until age 55 to retire, instead of 50… or the myriad of other problems facing the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no, he used his time, office, and taxpayer money to produce this letter, addressed to all members of the campus community at Berkeley, in which he goes on a nasty political rant even while condemning – you guessed it – nasty political rants! Of course, he doesn’t quote any Right-wing “rants” – he just snidely condemns anyone who disagrees with him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What even makes this worth commenting upon is the fact that it is not a partisan politician, a media pundit, or even a so-called objective journalist spewing this nonsense. It is a paid government employee, using his power and position to make statements to those under his authority (employees and students) that are (a) vile in their own hatefulness [IRONY ALERT!] and (b) politically exclusive – in other words, conservatives (or those who disagree with him in any way) are not really welcome at the UC. Oh, and (c): He butts in to another state’s business, which is particularly rich, since California’s in a far bigger craphole than Arizona in just about every way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailyplunge.com/2011/01/a-rebuttal-to-a-statement-on-the-arizona-shootings/\">The Daily Plunge\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nWhy is it that whenever something goes awry the first instinct of “progressives” is to look for ways to infringe on our liberties? The tragic shooting in Arizona perpetrated by a lunatic has become the opportunity du jour for a raft of leftists to call for a clamp-down on free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my favorites comes from UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert J. Birgeneau in his statement on the Arizona shooting...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where to begin? Well, let’s start with the climate in which the “demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated.” That “climate” is called “free speech,” protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It’s the law of the land and I’m sorry that Mr. Birgeneau doesn’t appreciate the fact that citizens have every right to demonize and offend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My simple message to Mr. Birgeneau and others of his ilk who would love to, by force of law, tell me what I can and cannot say or believe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironic, isn’t it, that Mr. Birgeneau bemoans the climate of demonization in America, and then demonizes those who believe that illegal immigration is illegal, even though illegal immigration is, in fact, illegal. The law abiders, for lack of a better term, are mean-spirited xenophobes! According to Mr. Birgeneau, open and rigorous debate equals hateful speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So let me get this straight… We’re supposed to be tolerant, but there are certain things we shouldn’t tolerate (a.k.a., any political position with which Mr. Birgeneau disagrees). I get it. It reminds me of a childhood friend who used to make up the rules as we went along to whatever game we were playing to ensure his victory. “Okay, that’s HORSE,” I’d say as the ball swished through the net. “That’s great,” he’d reply. “But we’re playing that the first person to HORSE loses.” Okay then.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It's not hard to imagine many denizens of this part of the blogosphere having the same reaction as one commenter on \u003ca href=\"http://weaselzippers.us/\">Weasel Zippers\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Where are the numbers on that right now, what is the current state of diversity for faculty and staff at Cal? Why isn't he addressing it directly as Operation Exodus rolls along? Why hasn't this page or this page been updated with current numbers on all race and gender demographics related to workforce diversity? That is the press release he should be distributing regularly and widely. If that info exists - one has to dig pretty hard to find it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Cal press release tying the Arizona shooting with the Dream Act today seems ill timed as victims are still in hospital fighting for their lives and the dead have yet to be memorialized or buried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Make the case - but not in this way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Much more about this, I'm fairly certain, to come...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Lynda Turley Garrett goes one better. She can sell you a ticket to a place few have gone before: Outer space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garrett, of Alpine Travel of Saratoga, is one of three \"Accredited Space Agents\" in Northern California selling $200,000 tickets for slightly more than two hours of flight on Virgin Galactic, with trips beginning as soon as 18 months from now. As such, she exemplifies a striking development: How an idea that has long been in the exclusive realm of science fiction -- that someone could buy a ticket to fly into space, stay on an orbiting space station or even travel to the moon -- has moved from the fictional to the commercial. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_16720659\" target=\"_blank\">Richmond Activist Sees Humanity's Common Thread\u003c/a> (West County Times)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Fred Davis Jackson, the man who brings Santa Claus to life for the low-income families in North Richmond each December, is well-known for his hearty laugh, his humor and warm smile. Each year right before winter break, Jackson dons a red suit and hands out gifts and warm coats to children at Verde Elementary School. Jackson's impeccably trimmed and unmistakable white whiskers sometimes give him away to suspecting children who know him from the neighborhood, but they do not want to take any chances that Santa isn't the real deal, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love Santa, I love playing Santa, I love the mystique,\" said Jackson, a 72-year-old retiree who has found a second career as a community activist on behalf of young and old -- and everyone in between. \"I'd like to be a real Santa, a 365-day-a-year Santa,\" he said. \"What we should do is put Santa in our hearts and be Santa every day.
