"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Photo: Lindsey Graham-Jones, KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last night, at Haight and Cole, the end of an era. For the \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/\">Red Vic Movie House\u003c/a>, purveyor since 1981 of second-run, independent, and retro fare eschewed by mass audiences hot and heavy for the newest Hollywood blockbuster, it was the final fade-out. Curtains down. The Last Victure Show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn’t go. The time to support the Vic was in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/01/financial-problems-could-close-curtain-on-red-vic-movie-house/\">December\u003c/a>, when Vic co-op member Claudia Lehan told us the theater was “month-to-month,” due to attendance drop-off and a large debt. Or maybe in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/01/financial-problems-could-close-curtain-on-red-vic-movie-house/\">January\u003c/a>, when Lehan said “we’re still somewhat desperate.” Or even \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/05/25/red-vic-movie-theater-likely-to-close-july-25/\">May\u003c/a>, when Lehan conceded “we’re near the end,” but still hoped for a miracle — a George Lucas, perhaps, to swoop in and revive the theater’s fortunes. You know, like in the movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no. I didn’t pay my respects on any of those occasions either. Like so many other narrative junkies, I no longer care to procure my fix by actually leaving the house. HBO, Netflix, iTunes, home theater… Where once I raced to see a film like, say, \u003cem>Touch of Evil\u003c/em>, on-screen \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/show.php?pageid=1114\">at the Red Vic\u003c/a> last week, now I \u003cem>schlep\u003c/em> there. And if I really have a hankering for Orson Welles’ late-noir classic, I own it, the celluloid purist in me now frequently trumped by considerations of finance, time and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years ago, I remember waiting in line at the Red Vic for well over an hour to see \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgpfMxYFSmE\">\u003cem>The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. If I wanted to see last night’s programmed finale, \u003cem>Harold and Maude\u003c/em>, well, someone has actually put the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6n1adZgY2I\">entire film\u003c/a> on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I used to go, and go often. While the Vic was never what I’d call a cathedral to moviegoing, it was still a fine place to indulge a worship of escapism. And like some of the old ballparks, its slightly ratty atmospherics were a welcome antidote to the antiseptic, rawly mercantile aspects of the cineplex, where you can be certain, upon ordering a $4.75 medium popcorn, to be pitched a large by a diffident teenager whose knowledge of film may begin and end with \u003cem>Twilight\u003c/em>.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_35183\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/RedVic2Sm.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35183\" title=\"RedVic2Sm\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/RedVic2Sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lindsey Graham-Jones, KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So long Red Vic.

For the \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/\">Red Vic Movie House\u003c/a>, purveyor since 1981 of second-run, independent, and retro fare eschewed by mass audiences hot and heavy for the newest Hollywood blockbuster, it was the final fade-out.

The time to support the Vic was in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/01/financial-problems-could-close-curtain-on-red-vic-movie-house/\">December\u003c/a>, when Vic co-op member Claudia Lehan told us the theater was “month-to-month,” due to attendance drop-off and a large debt.

You know, like in the movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no. I didn’t pay my respects on any of those occasions either. Like so many other narrative junkies, I no longer care to procure my fix by actually leaving the house. HBO, Netflix, iTunes, home theater… Where once I raced to see a film like, say, \u003cem>Touch of Evil\u003c/em>, on-screen \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/show.php?pageid=1114\">at the Red Vic\u003c/a> last week, now I \u003cem>schlep\u003c/em> there. And if I really have a hankering for Orson Welles’ late-noir classic, I own it, the celluloid purist in me now frequently trumped by considerations of finance, time and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years ago, I remember waiting in line at the Red Vic for well over an hour to see \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgpfMxYFSmE\">\u003cem>The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. If I wanted to see last night’s programmed finale, \u003cem>Harold and Maude\u003c/em>, well, someone has actually put the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6n1adZgY2I\">entire film\u003c/a> on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I used to go, and go often. While the Vic was never what I’d call a cathedral to moviegoing, it was still a fine place to indulge a worship of escapism. And like some of the old ballparks, its slightly ratty atmospherics were a welcome antidote to the antiseptic, rawly mercantile aspects of the cineplex, where you can be certain, upon ordering a $4.75 medium popcorn, to be pitched a large by a diffident teenager whose knowledge of film may begin and end with \u003cem>Twilight\u003c/em>.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_35183\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/RedVic2Sm.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35183\" title=\"RedVic2Sm\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/RedVic2Sm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lindsey Graham-Jones, KQED\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So long Red Vic.

Meantime, one of the opponents of nixing the February election \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2011/07/california-presidential-primary-june-2012-assembly-bill-80.html\">quoted during floor debate\u003c/a> as saying so: Sen. Anderson, who requested the legal opinion and now may be happy his position didn't carry the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow John Myers on \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/kqed_capnotes\">Twitter\u003c/a> or at \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/kqed_capnotes\">Capital Notes\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>As you no doubt have heard by now, there's a little \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=debt+ceiling\">to-do\u003c/a> in Washington over the issue of raising the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt#Debt_ceiling\">debt ceiling\u003c/a>, the amount of money the U.S. can borrow through the selling of treasury bonds. The limit is set by Congress, and till now has been a rather routine affair, for the most part. But the current Republican caucus is balking at the automatic hike, and according to the Treasury Dept, come August the U.S. could actually start defaulting on its ample debt, an unprecedented occurrence that many analysts say would result in a global financial cataclysm. Here's just one take from the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.reuters.com/reuters-wealth/2011/07/15/debt-ceiling-dumber-no-safe-haven-for-your-money/\">Reuters Money blog\u003c/a> on Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A default on U.S. debt will make the 2008 debacle look like a Simpson’s episode. Interest rates will soar through the roof. Everything from mortgage rates to adjustable credit card financing will skyrocket. Payrolls may be imperiled along with Social Security and Medicare payments. Think economic crash and burn — in a big way. If the credit rating of U.S. debt is downgraded from AAA, that will automatically signal to the global bond market that investors should demand higher yields for taking more risk. Standard & Poor’s has put the U.S. on its ominous “CreditWatch” status and will downgrade unless a debt deal is struck soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Money moves exponentially faster than politics these days. If bond managers get even a whiff of actual default, they will move their funds out of U.S. Treasuries at the speed of light. That tsunami may devalue anything measured in dollars, including U.S. stocks; corporations would then fire even more people and halt capital investment. Unemployment would hit Depression-era levels. Americans would wistfully recall the days of nine percent joblessness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Friday, State Treasurer Bill Lockyer talked to \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/thisweek/\">This Week in Northern California\u003c/a>\" host Belva Davis about the consequences for California should the ceiling not be raised, and the steps the state was taking to prepare. Lockyer said California is preparing to borrow as much as $5 billion in short-term loans, as education and health care programs that depend on federal funds could be severely jeopardized by a federal loan default.

Here's just one take from the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.reuters.com/reuters-wealth/2011/07/15/debt-ceiling-dumber-no-safe-haven-for-your-money/\">Reuters Money blog\u003c/a> on Friday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A default on U.S. debt will make the 2008 debacle look like a Simpson’s episode. Interest rates will soar through the roof. Everything from mortgage rates to adjustable credit card financing will skyrocket. Payrolls may be imperiled along with Social Security and Medicare payments. Think economic crash and burn — in a big way. If the credit rating of U.S. debt is downgraded from AAA, that will automatically signal to the global bond market that investors should demand higher yields for taking more risk. Standard & Poor’s has put the U.S. on its ominous “CreditWatch” status and will downgrade unless a debt deal is struck soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Money moves exponentially faster than politics these days. If bond managers get even a whiff of actual default, they will move their funds out of U.S. Treasuries at the speed of light. That tsunami may devalue anything measured in dollars, including U.S. stocks; corporations would then fire even more people and halt capital investment. Unemployment would hit Depression-era levels. Americans would wistfully recall the days of nine percent joblessness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>On Friday, State Treasurer Bill Lockyer talked to \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/thisweek/\">This Week in Northern California\u003c/a>\" host Belva Davis about the consequences for California should the ceiling not be raised, and the steps the state was taking to prepare.
