Additionally, the 98 regular-season wins posted over the last two seasons (51 in 2013-14 & 47 in 2012-13) represent the Warriors best two-year stretch since the team posted 99 victories combined in the 1990-91 (44) and 1991-92 (55) seasons, which was also the last time Golden State made consecutive postseason appearances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Additionally, the 98 regular-season wins posted over the last two seasons (51 in 2013-14 & 47 in 2012-13) represent the Warriors best two-year stretch since the team posted 99 victories combined in the 1990-91 (44) and 1991-92 (55) seasons, which was also the last time Golden State made consecutive postseason appearances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

The goal: A “Late-Night Integrated Transportation Plan.” (\u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/marq4porsche/\" target=\"_blank\">Marquis Houghton\u003c/a>/Flickr)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Albany-bulb-cleanup.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-134901\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/Albany-bulb-cleanup-640x450.jpg\" alt=\"Albany bulb cleanup\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWorkers from the city of Albany and Tucker Construction \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/04/25/albany-continues-clearing-out-homeless-encampment-at-bulb/\" target=\"_blank\">continue removing debris from the Albany Bulb\u003c/a>, as some of the last remaining residents move out of the East Bay homeless encampment.

People’s Park is deeply rooted in Berkeley’s history, having been created by community members in the 1960s. It was the scene of a major confrontation between student protesters and police in May 1969. Former Berkeley Barb photographer Harold Adler, who shot the People's Park riots, brought prints of his photographs to the anniversary event. Today, the park is a daytime sanctuary for Berkeley’s homeless population. Confrontations and crimes are a regular occurrence and there is a constituency, including many local merchants on Telegraph Avenue, that would like to see the area change.

Turns out he’s also from Chicago and got hooked on racehorses at Arlington Park when he was 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved the track,” Martin said. “I wasn’t supposed to bet. You’re supposed to be 18 but I was big enough and had a mustache, so they let me bet. I never won a lot but it was a blast. When I got a license I drove myself out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s first date with his wife was taking her to a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple years ago he decided to take his savings and get into the racehorse business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I don’t bet on other horses anymore,” he said. “It’s not as fun as owning your own horse, your own sports franchise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin met Steve Coburn, and they agreed to buy Love the Chase for $8,000. She gave birth to California Chrome, and both families fell in love with him. “After we got the call he was born, we drove for two hours and he was already up and running around his mom when we got there. He was handled by people right from the start. He’s a people horse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They named him by having a waitress draw from a bunch of names they put in a hat.

She got odds of 275-1,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin is a big man, deliberate and thoughtful. He fully believed when he bred Love the Chase to Lucky Pulpit that he was picking winning bloodlines. As he heads to Kentucky with his family and friends, he believes his horse will prove he’s the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The battle here is putting together the right team. We have the right team now. We have an old-school trainer, we went on old-school breeding. We have a good jockey, who’s not just in the moment but also thinking 50 jumps ahead,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome’s jockey, Victor Espinoza, is the only one of Chrome’s team who has Derby experience. In 2002 he was selected at the last minute to ride a horse named War Emblem. That year Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman reportedly spent a million to buy War Emblem ahead of the Derby. He was quoted as wanting to win the race that badly. They did win. (A ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, bought a Derby horse this year named Cairo Prince. He got injured and is out of the race.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinoza said riding California Chrome this year is very different: “More pressure. I know the horse and the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I went to the stable at Los Alamitos (Orange County) one morning to talk to the team and see California Chrome, a TV crew mounted a small camera on the chest of Willie Delgado, who exercises Chrome in the mornings. Another crew had put one on his helmet the morning before. They are all trying to capture what it looks like, what it feels like, to be on a horse running that fast. I’ve always wished I could have ridden a horse in a race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I got on that filly at Arlington Park back in the day. I made it once around the track that morning. My arms were too weak to even pull her up. A pony rider had to catch us and bring her to a stop. That was embarrassing enough. But when I dismounted at the barn, my legs were so weak that my knees buckled and I fell on my butt in front of the stable folks. Everyone got a big chuckle out of that. My jockey friend was kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s what happens to everyone the first time,\" he said, grinning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_133953\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS9903_IMG_5109-lpr.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-133953 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/04/RS9903_IMG_5109-lpr-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"California Chrome was born in the Central Valley near I-5, and his mother cost only $8,000.

When I got a license I drove myself out there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s first date with his wife was taking her to a racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple years ago he decided to take his savings and get into the racehorse business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now I don’t bet on other horses anymore,” he said. “It’s not as fun as owning your own horse, your own sports franchise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin met Steve Coburn, and they agreed to buy Love the Chase for $8,000. She gave birth to California Chrome, and both families fell in love with him. “After we got the call he was born, we drove for two hours and he was already up and running around his mom when we got there. He was handled by people right from the start. He’s a people horse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They named him by having a waitress draw from a bunch of names they put in a hat. (Perry had submitted “Seabizquick.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I also loved the sport itself: how the need for luck unites the lowliest backstretch worker and the wealthiest horse owner at post time.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>They were so nuts about him that last spring when the Las Vegas winter book opened up, allowing gamblers to wager early on the May 3 Kentucky Derby, Martin sent his 24-year-old daughter on a mission to Vegas with $500 to bet on their horse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has this cute baby face, and all these guys were saying, ‘You don’t want to bet on this Cal-bred.’ And she said, 'He’s \u003cem>my\u003c/em> horse!' She got odds of 275-1,\" Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin is a big man, deliberate and thoughtful. He fully believed when he bred Love the Chase to Lucky Pulpit that he was picking winning bloodlines. As he heads to Kentucky with his family and friends, he believes his horse will prove he’s the best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The battle here is putting together the right team. We have the right team now. We have an old-school trainer, we went on old-school breeding. We have a good jockey, who’s not just in the moment but also thinking 50 jumps ahead,” Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chrome’s jockey, Victor Espinoza, is the only one of Chrome’s team who has Derby experience. In 2002 he was selected at the last minute to ride a horse named War Emblem. That year Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman reportedly spent a million to buy War Emblem ahead of the Derby. He was quoted as wanting to win the race that badly. They did win. (A ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, bought a Derby horse this year named Cairo Prince. He got injured and is out of the race.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinoza said riding California Chrome this year is very different: “More pressure. I know the horse and the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I went to the stable at Los Alamitos (Orange County) one morning to talk to the team and see California Chrome, a TV crew mounted a small camera on the chest of Willie Delgado, who exercises Chrome in the mornings. Another crew had put one on his helmet the morning before. They are all trying to capture what it looks like, what it feels like, to be on a horse running that fast. I’ve always wished I could have ridden a horse in a race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why I got on that filly at Arlington Park back in the day. I made it once around the track that morning. My arms were too weak to even pull her up. A pony rider had to catch us and bring her to a stop. That was embarrassing enough. But when I dismounted at the barn, my legs were so weak that my knees buckled and I fell on my butt in front of the stable folks. Everyone got a big chuckle out of that. My jockey friend was kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The deal, reportedly agreed upon Saturday night, would be the site of a new 18,000-seat venue ready for the 2018-2019 season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The problem was the there was too much political opposition and too many environmental hurdles that they had to go over for the original site, even though the original site is more desirable,\" Andrew Zimbalist, professor of economics at Smith College, told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle reports that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Mission Bay site, where Salesforce originally planned to locate its corporate campus, will have a planned waterfront park across from the arena, has a Muni T-Third stop right in front of it, and already has two adjacent parking garages that can hold a combined 2,130 cars.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Not only will the Warriors own the property outright, but owner Joe Lacob says the team will privately finance construction of the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It might be the first time that there’s been a clear entire private funding of not only construction but also the land,\" Zimbalist said. \"It looks like Mr. Lacob is going the extra mile to get this deal done.

He’s a medicine ball running on toothpicks,” says one character, describing Pablo Sandoval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re both guys who are attracted to sports for reasons we don’t entirely respect,” Taccone said during a conversation with the co-playwrights last week at San Jose Rep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re avoiding the world. There’s a way to not talk about your feelings by totally immersing yourself in sports. I can’t tell you how many times my wife has come into the room and asked, ‘What are you watching?’ And the answer is ‘I don’t care.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two aren’t really grunting couch potatoes, though.

They’re looking for money at a fundraiser held at a private home in the wealthy Peninsula town of Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you were going to host a very high-end party for a foundation, that’s one of the places you’d want to do it,” said Rick Lombardo, director of the show and the producing artistic director for San Jose Rep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lombardo is directing the production, and he helped shape the play during the writing process.

But they own a Tesla.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The play opens at a time when the games that entrepreneurs play are a hot entertainment topic. HBO’s “Silicon Valley” debuts this Sunday, following films like “Jobs” and “The Social Network,” all set in that amorphous geographical area where venture capitalists are king.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Game On\" portrays these money men as not very nice people, so it may seem odd that playwrights Hoyle and Taccone had lots of help from a venture capitalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tony and Dan came to me when they were incubating the idea,\" said Roger Strauch, who speaks fluent startup. He’s chairman of The Roda Group, a venture capital firm in Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also a big supporter of Berkeley Rep. (The company’s main theater is named The Roda.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taccone said Strauch told the playwrights to not make the VC men too nice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Venture capitalists,” he said. “I would like to think many of us are nice people, but we have a job. Our job is to make money on our investments. If we want to be a philanthropist, that’s another thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Strauch and his partner, Dan Miller, are investing these days in startups working to slow the effects of climate change. And he gave the playwrights the idea for a key aspect of the play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I suggested that one of the consequences of global climate change is that we would need new food products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New food products, Strauch told me, such as insects. An idea that will likely make audiences squirm and laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in spite of their misgivings, Hoyle and Tony Taccone have written a comedy that tackles the very serious issue of global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to make sure this is a play our mothers would be proud of, too.” Hoyle said, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although,\" Taccone joked, “we can’t bring them because of the amount of swearing in the play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/142889843&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",
