STOCK
MARKET
7/12/02
Californians took their
lumps along with everyone else this week in the stock market’s dramatic
drop. Investors spooked by accounting scandals sold off stocks, taking
the market to five year lows -- even as some bellwether stocks such as
Yahoo reported modest gains. The tech heavy NASDAQ had a slight uptick
by the end of the week, but signs of a tech recovery in the second half
of this year are seeming less and less likely. Peter Jon Shuler has
this report. 3:07

GILROY PRINCIPAL
7/11/02
The popular principal of
Gilroy High School has resigned, along with an assistant principal.
The two quit to protest a district decision to implement a pilot honors
program for 9th graders this fall. They’re worried the program will
lead to segregation in the school. KQED’s Peter Jon Shuler reports.

ROSIN COVEN
7/5/02
The Bay Area band Rosin
Coven doesn’t have a record deal. Or professional management.
Most of the members still have day jobs. But in the last five years,
they’ve developed an international and almost fanatical following with
their flamboyant stage shows and quirky, irreverent music. After
touring New York last month, the self-proclaimed “Pagan Lounge” band returns
home for a July 10th concert at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hal.

CALIFORNIA
HOMES
7/3/02
Housing prices in the western
United States are no more vulnerable to a market bubble than the rest of
the US. That’s the finding of economists at the Federal Reserve Bank
in San Francisco, in a report released yesterday. The Fed says California
housing prices are still recovering from a dip during the recession of
the mid 90s. But as Peter Jon Shuler reports, not everyone agrees
with that assessment. 4:29

PRIVACY BILL
6/25/02
It’s round two in the state
capital in a battle over whether or not Californian’s have a right to control
their own financial and other personal information. A popular Consumer
Privacy bill died in the legislature a year ago. Now, it’s back in
the assembly again this year. With just a few weeks to go and just
a few votes short, the bill is the subject of some of the most intense
lobbying of this legislative year. Peter Jon Shuler reports.

ENERGY OUTLOOK
6/21/02
What a difference a year
makes. It’s the first day of summer and we haven’t had one rolling
blackout. By this time last year Californians considered blackouts
part of their daily lives. But this year grid operators are optimistic
about having enough energy reserves to meet demand. That’s because
there are more plants online, more snowmelt this year for hydropower and
Californians are conserving more energy. Peter Jon Shuler reports.
