		<title>Food Bank Distribution at Columbian Gardens Fills Bellies and Hearts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s 9 a.m. in the morning, and more than 200 people have gathered at Columbian Gardens recreation center to wait for their weekly produce from the Alameda County Food Bank.
To keep chaos at bay, volunteer Bill Walker hands out yellow plastic cards with numbers from 1 to 200.  A second set of numbered cards is soon cracked open as people continued to arrive.

		<title>UC Berkeley&#8217;s perimeter bus in jeopardy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Huda Ahmed/510 Report
AC Transit and UC Berkeley are considering changes to the bus shuttle that serves the campus, which could result in the layoffs of several drivers employed by the university.
Under an existing agreement, the university offers the service and leases the buses from AC Transit. But the long-term lease expired in June 2008 and has been month-to-month since then. The transit agency elected not to continue the deal past December of this year, said Seamus Wilmot, UC Berkeley&#8217;s acting director of parking and transportation.

		<title>Woodfin Continues to Hold Out on Back Wages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diana Montaño
In what has become a years-long saga pitting the Woodfin Hotel in Emeryville against its workers, the hotel has again defied an Emeryville City Council order to pay back wages, workers&#8217; advocates say.
In 2006, hotel employees first charged the Woodfin with defying a city-wide living wage ordinance. Measure C, approved by Emeryville voters in November 2005 and put into effect that December, set guidelines for low wage work in the city.

		<title>Alameda County readies pools for a safe summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Samson Reiny / 510Report
As the California heat begins to usher in the summer, as well as usher water enthusiasts into the swimming pools, counties, including Alameda County, are integrating a new federal law that will further protect people from accidental drownings in public pools and spas.  All hotels, community recreation centers, and high schools must install new federally-approved drain covers to prevent swimmers from being held down by the suction force of water ducts.  
All swimming pool and hot tubs have drainage systems in order to clean ...]]></description>
