"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.",

Nobody my age, 70 years or older, has completed this thing in under 48 hours. Last year, at 69, I did it in 37 hours, which was a benchmark finish. But this year I want to break not only not only 48, but 40 and hopefully somewhere around 35 hours. I run for kids in Santa Rosa. They’ll be watching. After doing it 14 times, I’m really, really confident I can do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> What are some of the worst things that have happened to you in this race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> The very first year I ran it I broke my toe the day before, and I ran it with a broken toe, which was aggravating. The heat was extreme. It was 130 the first day, 125 the second day. I had a lot of problems. I passed out the second day. They iced me down. I got up and finished. Three years ago I had a kidney stone a couple of days before the event. Two years ago I went down for nine hours. Who knows why? I was unbalanced. But I was able to get up and run all the way to the finish line which was really great. I got a \u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1159491/index.htm\">Sports Illustrated\u003c/a> story out of that. And last year I had a hernia the second day, the size of a golf ball, and had to keep pushing it back in for like 60 or 70 miles. That was a strain, but I managed to make it to the finish line even with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Forgive me, but that sounds a little crazy. Some people do this kind of thing once or twice to challenge themselves. Then they cross it off their bucket list. Why do you keep doing it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> I love to do it, I love the challenge. And I feel like I’m an unofficial spokesman for the baby boomers and the older generation, that if you stay mentally alert and physically conditioned, you can do anything. Also at my age it’s just like a bell ringer for a lot of people, especially the kids that I run for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> I want to come back to the physical challenges. What does an event like this do to your feet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> In the first few years the toe box got so hot out there, because the pavement can get up to 200 degrees, I lost my toenails. The first year they just popped off like popcorn. So since then, about two months before the event, I kill off my toenails and then I pull them off just before the race. In fact I just did one yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> You pull the whole toenail off yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> With a pair of pliers, I just yank them right off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Ouch!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> And then some years there is so much swelling, my feet are so wet, they are twice their normal size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Stop!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> You asked. But I never let that get in the way. I rise above all the misery and the pain and the suffering and just concentrate on my goal and why I’m doing this, and that helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> So this is going to be your last ultra marathon. How do you want it to end?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> This is going to be my last Badwater, but I have more on the horizon I want to do. I’d like to re-qualify to do the \u003ca href=\"http://ws100.com/\">Western States\u003c/a> 100-mile run again and be the only man over 70 to break 24 hours. And then may attempt to run a couple hundred marathons and break a couple of records there, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Good luck!\u003c/p>\n\n",

The heat was extreme. It was 130 the first day, 125 the second day. I had a lot of problems. I passed out the second day. They iced me down. I got up and finished. Three years ago I had a kidney stone a couple of days before the event. Two years ago I went down for nine hours. Who knows why? I was unbalanced. But I was able to get up and run all the way to the finish line which was really great. I got a \u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1159491/index.htm\">Sports Illustrated\u003c/a> story out of that. And last year I had a hernia the second day, the size of a golf ball, and had to keep pushing it back in for like 60 or 70 miles. That was a strain, but I managed to make it to the finish line even with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Forgive me, but that sounds a little crazy. Some people do this kind of thing once or twice to challenge themselves. Then they cross it off their bucket list. Why do you keep doing it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> I love to do it, I love the challenge. And I feel like I’m an unofficial spokesman for the baby boomers and the older generation, that if you stay mentally alert and physically conditioned, you can do anything. Also at my age it’s just like a bell ringer for a lot of people, especially the kids that I run for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> I want to come back to the physical challenges. What does an event like this do to your feet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> In the first few years the toe box got so hot out there, because the pavement can get up to 200 degrees, I lost my toenails. The first year they just popped off like popcorn. So since then, about two months before the event, I kill off my toenails and then I pull them off just before the race. In fact I just did one yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> You pull the whole toenail off yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> With a pair of pliers, I just yank them right off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Ouch!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> And then some years there is so much swelling, my feet are so wet, they are twice their normal size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Stop!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> You asked. But I never let that get in the way. I rise above all the misery and the pain and the suffering and just concentrate on my goal and why I’m doing this, and that helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER:\u003c/strong> So this is going to be your last ultra marathon. How do you want it to end?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ARTHUR WEBB:\u003c/strong> This is going to be my last Badwater, but I have more on the horizon I want to do. I’d like to re-qualify to do the \u003ca href=\"http://ws100.com/\">Western States\u003c/a> 100-mile run again and be the only man over 70 to break 24 hours. And then may attempt to run a couple hundred marathons and break a couple of records there, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SCOTT SHAFER\u003c/strong>: Good luck!\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The little brown horse didn’t have a name yet, and he wasn’t a looker, but O’Neill’s guys were able to see beyond the horse’s abbreviated backside. They were impressed with his efficient stride and picked him up for $35,000, chump change in the horse racing world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mora says after awhile, the horse’s tail grew.

Last winter, he headed south to try his luck at Santa Anita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About that time, O’Neill and Reddam were looking for a jockey to ride I’ll Have Another in a big race, but their first and second choices were already taken. Reddam remembered Gutierrez. They pulled him out of his barn and told him they’d give him a try. Together, Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another rode to victory -- like hand in glove, says Sandy Gann, who’s worked closely with the jockey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He had the patience of Job and the hands of an angel. He had natural talent that you can't teach,\" Gann says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mora says that was the race that showed how I’ll Have Another could run. After that, they knew they’d be in the Kentucky Derby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Saturday of the Derby, I’ll Have Another went into the starting gate as a 15 to 1 longshot. He rode in seventh place for most of the race, but on the turn for home his stubbornness kicked in. Horse and rider devoured the ground to pass the leader for the win. Mora watched from his Hollywood Park barn. \"I got goose bumps and I took a couple of shots of tequila,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks later, it was onto the Preakness in Baltimore, where I’ll Have Another gave another heart-thumping performance on the way to victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Ortuzar manages marketing at Hollywood Park. He says this odyssey has been wonderful for California racing. \"It's always been an air of the snobby people in the East,\" he says. \"You know, with their best-bred racehorses against those guys on the West Coast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attention hasn’t all been positive.

Reddam remembered Gutierrez. They pulled him out of his barn and told him they’d give him a try. Together, Gutierrez and I’ll Have Another rode to victory -- like hand in glove, says Sandy Gann, who’s worked closely with the jockey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He had the patience of Job and the hands of an angel. He had natural talent that you can't teach,\" Gann says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mora says that was the race that showed how I’ll Have Another could run. After that, they knew they’d be in the Kentucky Derby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Saturday of the Derby, I’ll Have Another went into the starting gate as a 15 to 1 longshot. He rode in seventh place for most of the race, but on the turn for home his stubbornness kicked in. Horse and rider devoured the ground to pass the leader for the win. Mora watched from his Hollywood Park barn. \"I got goose bumps and I took a couple of shots of tequila,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks later, it was onto the Preakness in Baltimore, where I’ll Have Another gave another heart-thumping performance on the way to victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George Ortuzar manages marketing at Hollywood Park. He says this odyssey has been wonderful for California racing. \"It's always been an air of the snobby people in the East,\" he says. \"You know, with their best-bred racehorses against those guys on the West Coast.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attention hasn’t all been positive. A \u003ca href=\"http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/h/horse_racing/index.html?query=O%27NEILL,%20DOUG&field=per&match=exact\">recent New York Times investigation\u003c/a> tallies the rate of breakdowns and injuries for Doug O'Neill's horses at more than double the national average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, California’s Horse Racing Board \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/25/sports/doug-oneill-derby-winning-trainer-suspended.html?_r=1&ref=horseracing\">fined and suspended O’Neill\u003c/a> for 45 days, starting in July, for running a horse that wasn’t fit to race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is one of more than a dozen violations O’Neill has racked up around the country in the last 14 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mora says they’ll fight this latest sanction and denies doing anything illegal to give horses an advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Belmont Stakes officials have required all trainers to move their horses into a high-security barn so officials can keep an eye on everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before I'll Have Another's withdrawal from the Belmont, Mora said he'd be at the race praying, wearing his lucky shirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If he wins, I'm going to need an oxygen tank or something, because I don't know what is going to happen. I don't know what to tell you because I waited 30-plus years for this to happen. Not only me, everybody else around the nation, including California.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/06/08/ill-have-another-scratched-live-press-conference/\">read about I'll Have Another's retirement from horse racing today here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
