"content": "\u003cp>Winter storms have been eroding coastal bluffs at California’s Redwood National Park, and as the cliffs disappear, the buried remains of Native American archaeological sites are at risk of falling into the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such site is called Summer Place, says Suntayea Steinruck, a member of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and a tribal heritage preservation officer. Her ancestors hunted and fished around what used to be a small village there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Knowing that our ancestors derived from this place. I mean, it’s beautiful here. It has a name for a reason, you know: Summer Place,” Steinruck says from a bluff high above the ocean. “We have that connection with the environment, I think, and knowing exactly where we come from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cliffs have eroded about 3 feet since 2007, says Michael Peterson, a Redwood National Park archaeologist. He connects the recent intensity and frequency of winter storms to global climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen whole logs, redwood logs laying up on top the rocks that are like 12 feet above the high-tide level. You could tell how big the storm, the waves were,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing on the bluff, Peterson pulls out a series of old photos and maps of the cliffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He does a quick visual comparison with the land before him. Descending toward the beach, he sees evidence of a fire pit that wasn’t visible previously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”uIh9XSpc0RHwbQVTXqOgotwIPuZRdECN”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Redwood National Park and local tribes have collaborated to stabilize the ground at the old Tolowa village site. They’ve built fences and trails to keep visitors out of erosion-prone areas. They’ve laid down jute fiber to hold the ground and encourage vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s difficult to hold back the ocean. And at heavily used sites like this one, national park visitors themselves present an additional challenge, Peterson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At any place you have historic or prehistoric activity, in combination with climate change and erosion, you will have increased amount of artifacts coming to the surface,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has made looting easier. The park and tribes are working to increase their presence here, but funding is short. Until now, the archaeological philosophy of the park at this village site has been “keep it in the ground” — largely out of respect to tribal members, like Steinruck and her ancestors. But climate change may force them to reconsider that approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do we maintain their resting spots to where they’re not disturbed? Or how do we address them in a way that’s culturally appropriate? And so for me, that’s a heavy burden I think a lot of us have to bear, because we have to look at that reality of it,” Steinruck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality is, despite all the park’s efforts, the Summer Place is still eroding. The park and tribes may soon need to decide whether they should study the village site more intrusively before it washes away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Her ancestors hunted and fished around what used to be a small village there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Knowing that our ancestors derived from this place. I mean, it’s beautiful here. It has a name for a reason, you know: Summer Place,” Steinruck says from a bluff high above the ocean. “We have that connection with the environment, I think, and knowing exactly where we come from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cliffs have eroded about 3 feet since 2007, says Michael Peterson, a Redwood National Park archaeologist. He connects the recent intensity and frequency of winter storms to global climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen whole logs, redwood logs laying up on top the rocks that are like 12 feet above the high-tide level. You could tell how big the storm, the waves were,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Descending toward the beach, he sees evidence of a fire pit that wasn’t visible previously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Redwood National Park and local tribes have collaborated to stabilize the ground at the old Tolowa village site. They’ve built fences and trails to keep visitors out of erosion-prone areas. They’ve laid down jute fiber to hold the ground and encourage vegetation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s difficult to hold back the ocean. And at heavily used sites like this one, national park visitors themselves present an additional challenge, Peterson says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At any place you have historic or prehistoric activity, in combination with climate change and erosion, you will have increased amount of artifacts coming to the surface,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has made looting easier. The park and tribes are working to increase their presence here, but funding is short. Until now, the archaeological philosophy of the park at this village site has been “keep it in the ground” — largely out of respect to tribal members, like Steinruck and her ancestors. But climate change may force them to reconsider that approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do we maintain their resting spots to where they’re not disturbed? Or how do we address them in a way that’s culturally appropriate? And so for me, that’s a heavy burden I think a lot of us have to bear, because we have to look at that reality of it,” Steinruck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality is, despite all the park’s efforts, the Summer Place is still eroding. The park and tribes may soon need to decide whether they should study the village site more intrusively before it washes away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 Oregon Public Broadcasting.

"content": "\u003cp>In the latest legal fallout from the massive Porter Ranch natural gas leak, Los Angeles County went to court Monday seeking to force Southern California Gas Co. to install underground safety shut-off valves on every active gas storage well and distribution pipeline it operates in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/319264611/SCG-File-Stamped-Complaint\">The suit\u003c/a>, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, claims SoCal Gas \"put corporate profits before public safety\" by failing more than 30 years ago to replace a faulty shut-off valve on the well that blew last fall at its Aliso Canyon storage facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint says a number of the company's 229 active L.A. County gas wells \"are plagued with corrosion, structural integrity problems, erosion, and other safety hazards,\" and refers to a number of other leaks that have occurred at three other SoCal Gas storage facilities elsewhere in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complaint also seeks \"punitive and/or exemplary damages in an amount sufficient to punish, deter, and make an example of SoCal Gas.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas company did not have an immediate comment on the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2rtUkO27Ejnxs8Q0bxqkFw9vMy9diREL\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The well in question at Porter Ranch -- known as SS-25 -- was opened in 1953 with a subsurface safety valve. The company said it removed the valve in 1979 because it was old and leaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has defended its decision not to replace the valve on the grounds that such action was not required under state regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only wells defined as \"critical\" must have such shut-off valves. A well is considered \"critical\" if it is within 300 feet of a home; the well that blew is about a mile from any residences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/02/24/57876/like-porter-ranch-playa-del-rey-montebello-and-oth/\">Dozens of SoCal Gas' wells are older than SS-25\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Porter Ranch gas leak began on Oct. 23, 2015. After several unsuccessful attempts, crews finally capped it on Feb. 18. It spewed some 5.4 billion cubic feet of the potent greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere, along with trace amounts of other chemicals, according to state and local regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Porter Ranch residents subsequently complained of headaches, nausea, dizziness and vomiting. Eventually, several thousand \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/03/court-gives-residents-30-days-not-8-to-return-home-after-porter-ranch-leak/\" target=\"_blank\">relocated to temporary housing\u003c/a>. In a May report to shareholders, SoCal Gas estimated it would spend around $465 million by June 7 on residents' relocation expenses and the cleanup of their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas company is already facing a joint lawsuit from the city and county of L.A., the state attorney general and the state Air Resources Board accusing it of negligence in Porter Ranch. In March, a judge agreed to consolidate dozens of other lawsuits filed on behalf of Porter Ranch residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[scribd id=319264611 key=key-qSdDm6WS200U4UMWhQ8E mode=scroll]\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s because the central hub of this water system, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, is in bad shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water is drawn from the Delta by two massive pumping facilities that can move millions of gallon per minute. They’re so powerful that they’ve been shown to entrap endangered fish, like Chinook salmon and Delta smelt. When those species are at greatest risk, regulations require slowing down the pumps, potentially limiting how much water reaches cities and farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The twin tunnels would take water from farther north near the Sacramento River, and deliver it to the pumping facilities. State officials say that would make the water system more reliable, because the pumps would be used less, avoiding the impacts on endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much would the tunnels cost and who would pay for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They aren’t cheap. Construction could cost $14.9 billion. Add in mitigation costs for construction impacts, operations and maintenance and the tab runs to about $17 billion over 50 years — and that doesn’t count paying off the bonds that would finance the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, it would be paid for by the water agencies that get the water, including urban water districts in the southern Bay Area and Southern California, as well as agricultural water districts in the Central Valley. Those agencies would have to raise water rates or possibly property taxes to cover the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who is against building the tunnels?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people. \u003ca href=\"http://restorethedelta.org/\">Residents\u003c/a> that live in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta don’t want a major construction project in their backyard and are concerned it could affect their water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/experts/doug-obegi/why-nrdc-opposes-bay-delta-conservation-plan\">environmental groups\u003c/a> say the tunnels, as they’re designed now, could make things worse for endangered salmon and other fish as too much fresh water is removed from the ecosystem, though there are other issues as well, like habitat loss and invasive species. Environmentalists say that the tunnels would simply continue the trend of removing too much fresh water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much water will the tunnels take out of the Delta?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hmm, good question. State officials have proposed a range of scenarios. At one end of the range, water users could see more water delivered to them. At the other end, they’d get less, but more would be left in the ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the hitch: several of the water agencies that would pay to construct the tunnels have said they can’t justify the costs if there’s a chance they’ll end up with less water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, why should I care about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/rb/RB_211EHRB.pdf\">water problems aren’t going away\u003c/a>. There will be more droughts, more conservation rules and more challenges ahead, especially with climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s water system, as ambitious as it was a half-century ago, can’t keep up with current (let alone future) demands. So whether fixing that problem involves massive water tunnels, or simply finding ways to do more with less water, Californians are going to have to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who will decide if the tunnels get built?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now it’s up to state and federal agencies. The State Water Resources Control Board is beginning hearings to answer two questions: will the tunnels impinge on anyone else’s right to use water and will they harm endangered species? Those hearings could go on for quite a while, maybe until mid-2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State and federal wildlife agencies will look at whether the project will harm endangered salmon and Delta smelt, as well as other species. And in their review, they will determine how much water the Delta tunnels can deliver in order to ensure that species don’t go extinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That decision could determine whether water agencies are in or out, ultimately deciding the fate of the project. Oh yeah, and the whole thing is likely to end up in court, no matter what the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about a public vote? There’s a November ballot measure that would require votes for big infrastructure projects.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True. If passed, Proposition 53 would require a public vote on projects backed by state-issued revenue bonds over $2 billion, including this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the bonds to pay for the tunnels are issued by the water agencies, not the state, then a public vote might not be required under Prop 53. But some analysts say the individual agencies, even banding together, would have a tough time floating bonds for the project on their own.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s because the central hub of this water system, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, is in bad shape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water is drawn from the Delta by two massive pumping facilities that can move millions of gallon per minute. They’re so powerful that they’ve been shown to entrap endangered fish, like Chinook salmon and Delta smelt. When those species are at greatest risk, regulations require slowing down the pumps, potentially limiting how much water reaches cities and farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The twin tunnels would take water from farther north near the Sacramento River, and deliver it to the pumping facilities. State officials say that would make the water system more reliable, because the pumps would be used less, avoiding the impacts on endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much would the tunnels cost and who would pay for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They aren’t cheap. Construction could cost $14.9 billion. Add in mitigation costs for construction impacts, operations and maintenance and the tab runs to about $17 billion over 50 years — and that doesn’t count paying off the bonds that would finance the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ostensibly, it would be paid for by the water agencies that get the water, including urban water districts in the southern Bay Area and Southern California, as well as agricultural water districts in the Central Valley. Those agencies would have to raise water rates or possibly property taxes to cover the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who is against building the tunnels?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people. \u003ca href=\"http://restorethedelta.org/\">Residents\u003c/a> that live in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta don’t want a major construction project in their backyard and are concerned it could affect their water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/experts/doug-obegi/why-nrdc-opposes-bay-delta-conservation-plan\">environmental groups\u003c/a> say the tunnels, as they’re designed now, could make things worse for endangered salmon and other fish as too much fresh water is removed from the ecosystem, though there are other issues as well, like habitat loss and invasive species. Environmentalists say that the tunnels would simply continue the trend of removing too much fresh water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how much water will the tunnels take out of the Delta?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hmm, good question. State officials have proposed a range of scenarios. At one end of the range, water users could see more water delivered to them. At the other end, they’d get less, but more would be left in the ecosystem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the hitch: several of the water agencies that would pay to construct the tunnels have said they can’t justify the costs if there’s a chance they’ll end up with less water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, why should I care about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/rb/RB_211EHRB.pdf\">water problems aren’t going away\u003c/a>. There will be more droughts, more conservation rules and more challenges ahead, especially with climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s water system, as ambitious as it was a half-century ago, can’t keep up with current (let alone future) demands. So whether fixing that problem involves massive water tunnels, or simply finding ways to do more with less water, Californians are going to have to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who will decide if the tunnels get built?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now it’s up to state and federal agencies. The State Water Resources Control Board is beginning hearings to answer two questions: will the tunnels impinge on anyone else’s right to use water and will they harm endangered species? Those hearings could go on for quite a while, maybe until mid-2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State and federal wildlife agencies will look at whether the project will harm endangered salmon and Delta smelt, as well as other species. And in their review, they will determine how much water the Delta tunnels can deliver in order to ensure that species don’t go extinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That decision could determine whether water agencies are in or out, ultimately deciding the fate of the project. Oh yeah, and the whole thing is likely to end up in court, no matter what the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about a public vote? There’s a November ballot measure that would require votes for big infrastructure projects.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True. If passed, Proposition 53 would require a public vote on projects backed by state-issued revenue bonds over $2 billion, including this one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here in the lab, he and the team are using E. coli to try and produce something biologically similar to insulin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first synthetic insulin was E. coli-based … there’s a whole lineage of techniques that subsequently developed,” explains DiFranco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today a group of volunteers is shining an ultraviolet light onto a petri dish. If they see a green fluorescent glow, it’s a protein, and it could be attached to an insulin precursor. DiFranco sees what might be a bit of glowiness, but knows it’s no guarantee. In fact, he’s well aware that this whole idea might not work. But whatever discoveries come out of the group work here will be open source — the data will be available online, for anyone to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11026501\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11026501\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign-400x711.jpg\" alt=\"Some of the many projects taking place at Counter Culture Labs\" width=\"400\" height=\"711\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign-400x711.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign-800x1421.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign-1180x2096.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/what-do-you-want-to-do-sign-960x1706.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some of the many projects taking place at Counter Culture Labs \u003ccite>(Andrew Stelzer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Patrik D’haeseleer, chair and founding member of Counter Culture Labs, says the team hopes to supplement the global supply of insulin. \u003ca href=\"http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/246223/1/9789241565363-eng.pdf?ua=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2015 report from the World Health Organization\u003c/a> found three-quarters of low-income countries and almost half of lower-middle income countries did not have insulin available in the public health sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s entire countries that run out of insulin for months in a row, which is essentially a death sentence for a Type 1 diabetic,” explains D’haeseleer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to get past this hurdle where everything is essentially locked up in intellectual property and owned by three large pharmaceutical companies,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D’haeseleer is a disrupter at heart.

Although the Internet delivery antennae have yet to be attached or tested, a company \u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/07/aquilas-first-flight-a-big-milestone-toward-connecting-billions-of-people/\">press release\u003c/a> describes the future capabilities of the aircraft:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"When complete, Aquila will be able to circle a region up to 60 miles in diameter, beaming connectivity down from an altitude of more than 60,000 feet using laser communications and millimeter wave systems. Aquila is designed to be hyper efficient, so it can fly for up to three months at a time. The aircraft has the wingspan of an airliner, but at cruising speed it will consume only 5,000 watts — the same amount as three hair dryers, or a high-end microwave.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The test flight late last month over the Arizona desert lasted just over 90 minutes, according to Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
