Officials said there were 174 survivors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>East Bay resident So Young Kim told the Korea Times that she was shocked by reports that the boat’s captain may have been among the first to be rescued. “He should have stayed in the ship saving people,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A crewman told The Associated Press that there was chaos and confusion as the captain first tried to stabilize the vessel before ordering its evacuation. About 30 minutes after passengers were told to stay in place, the captain finally gave the order to evacuate, he said, adding that he wasn't sure, in the confusion and chaos on the bridge of the sinking ferry, that the order was relayed to the passengers. Several survivors also told AP that they never heard any evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By then, it was impossible for crew members to move to passengers' rooms to help them because the ship was tilted at an impossibly acute angle, the crewman said. The delay in evacuation also likely prevented lifeboats from being deployed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are praying for the victims and their family, and missing people, waiting silently for a miracle,\" said the Rev. Hyok In Kwon of Berkeley Korean United Methodist Church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Divers are working in shifts to try to get into the sunken vessel, but strong currents would not allow them to enter, said Coast Guard spokesman Kim Jae-in. The divers planned to pump oxygen into the ship to help any survivors, but first they had to get inside, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water temperature in the area was about 54 degrees Fahrenheit, cold enough to cause signs of hypothermia after about 90 minutes of exposure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope the Korean government will put more effort into saving students,\" said Joanne Lee, a senior at Monte Vista High School in Cupertino, to the Korea Times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AP also reported that police said a high school vice principal who'd been rescued from the ferry was found hanging Friday from a pine tree on Jindo, an island near the sunken ship where survivors have been housed. He was the leader of the group of 323 students traveling on the ship on a school excursion, and said in a suicide note that he felt guilty for being alive while more than 200 of his students were missing.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/133064/bay-area-grieves-for-capsized-south-korean-ferry","authors":["236"],"programs":["news_6944"],"tags":["news_740","news_6151","news_6148"],"featImg":"news_133066","label":"news_6944"},"news_132113":{"type":"posts","id":"news_132113","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"132113","score":null,"sort":[1397138427000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"as-policing-technology-in-california-advances-so-do-privacy-concerns","title":"As Policing Technology in California Advances, So Do Privacy Concerns","publishDate":1397138427,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Priced Out | News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Ali Winston, \u003cstrong> The Center for Investigative Reporting\u003c/strong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132115\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/WomanArrest.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132115 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/WomanArrest-640x358.jpg\" alt=\"Officer Rob Halverson of the Chula Vista police verifies the identity of a woman just arrest for possession of narcotics with facial recognition software.

A February bipartisan \u003ca href=\"http://www.fwd.us/poll_support_immigration_reform\">poll\u003c/a> that Fwd.us likes to quote found a thousand likely general election voters nationwide overwhelmingly support immigration reform. Whatever happens in D.C. – or doesn’t – Silicon Valley money is working hard to keep immigration reform near the top of the legislative agenda.

He said that while Facebook did hit its goal of connecting 1 billion users around the world, there's a lot more work to do to connect everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">WhatsApp 'turns out to be a social glue for all of us.'\u003ccite>Om Malik,\u003cbr>\nTechnology journalist\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Now the focus for us is actually kind of retooling — you're going to see us retooling the company in a lot of ways — to go take on a lot of harder problems that fulfill this mission,\" Zuckerberg said. \"So, for example, connecting the next 5 billion people. It's going to be really hard because a lot of them don't have Internet access.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WhatsApp gets around that problem by using less Internet. The app rides on the coattails of traditional phone carriers, bypasses their expensive texting services and lets people send instant messages for free. Some 450 million users are on it, including \u003ca href=\"http://gigaom.com/2014/02/20/now-that-gigaom-is-all-grown-up-its-time-for-the-next-chapter/\" target=\"_blank\">technology journalist (and newly minted venture capitalist) Om Malik\u003c/a>.

Analyst Nathan Eagle, with Jana Mobile, explains why he thinks it does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook is an emerging market company ultimately,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The co-founder of WhatsApp, \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml\">Jan Koum\u003c/a>, is a first-generation immigrant who grew up in an emerging market — Ukraine. That country is being rocked by political violence and bloodshed this week. Other emerging market countries, while more stable, struggle with problems like corruption and no electricity at times. But while most people focus on the current instability, some Silicon Valley giants see a future of economic promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Within the next three years or so, the majority of Facebook's revenue is going to be coming from emerging markets,” said Eagle. “I mean it's certainly not coming in from North America, or Western Europe for that matter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/135912216&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jana Mobile conducted a small survey in emerging market countries and found that in India, Brazil and Mexico, people use WhatsApp way more than Facebook to send messages. So whether you call Facebook's move defense or offense, Eagle says, \"They're really doubling down, and it's frankly the right call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group has a different take.

But a closer look at who uses WhatsApp\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>helps to explain it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months back, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave a talk at a tech conference that foreshadowed yesterday's news. He said that while Facebook did hit its goal of connecting 1 billion users around the world, there's a lot more work to do to connect everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">WhatsApp 'turns out to be a social glue for all of us.'\u003ccite>Om Malik,\u003cbr>\nTechnology journalist\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"Now the focus for us is actually kind of retooling — you're going to see us retooling the company in a lot of ways — to go take on a lot of harder problems that fulfill this mission,\" Zuckerberg said. \"So, for example, connecting the next 5 billion people. It's going to be really hard because a lot of them don't have Internet access.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WhatsApp gets around that problem by using less Internet. The app rides on the coattails of traditional phone carriers, bypasses their expensive texting services and lets people send instant messages for free. Some 450 million users are on it, including \u003ca href=\"http://gigaom.com/2014/02/20/now-that-gigaom-is-all-grown-up-its-time-for-the-next-chapter/\" target=\"_blank\">technology journalist (and newly minted venture capitalist) Om Malik\u003c/a>. He chats with his elderly mom in India — and he says she converted him to the service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is one of those things that starts out as a way to save money,\" Malik says. \"But in the end it turns out to be a social glue for all of us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So does that make it worth $19 billion?

That country is being rocked by political violence and bloodshed this week. Other emerging market countries, while more stable, struggle with problems like corruption and no electricity at times. But while most people focus on the current instability, some Silicon Valley giants see a future of economic promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Within the next three years or so, the majority of Facebook's revenue is going to be coming from emerging markets,” said Eagle. “I mean it's certainly not coming in from North America, or Western Europe for that matter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/135912216&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jana Mobile conducted a small survey in emerging market countries and found that in India, Brazil and Mexico, people use WhatsApp way more than Facebook to send messages.
