"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.",

From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120417/A_NEWS/204170314&cid=sitesearch\">Stockton Record\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It came from over the center-field wall during the top of the fourth inning, a dark cloud headed straight for home plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bees. Perhaps 20,000 of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Players dived into the dirt or sprinted for the dugout, while the public address announcer asked the crowd to stay calm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I just saw something fuzzy coming. And then I heard the buzzing. I thought, oh (expletive), bees!\" Stockton Ports manager Webster Garrison said, recalling the dramatic five-minute interruption in Sunday afternoon's game. \"I saw everybody hitting the deck and players running, and both dugouts scattering, fans starting to scatter. It was just a weird situation.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Someone at the game posted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hAfa2khNU9k\">video of players hitting the deck\u003c/a>, with this introduction...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A huge swarm of bees crosses the playing field at the Stockton Ports game. I though the players were doing some kind of baseball planking joke but as the bee's reached me I turned off the camera and got down low.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"274\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/hAfa2khNU9k\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c!--more-->\n\u003cp>After the swarm buzzed off and headed over to a tree in the parking lot, the team called in an exterminator for a de-beeing. Some folks didn't like that, according to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.esanjoaquin.com/san-joaquin-river-delta/2012/04/18/stung-over-bee-story/\">reporter Alex Breitler\u003c/a>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Four people called Tuesday to complain about the apparent extermination of that swarm of bees which descended on the Stockton Ballpark during a Ports game over the weekend...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Callers want to know why a beekeeper wasn’t consulted. Some beekeepers will drive out and collect bee swarms, putting them to beneficial use instead of eradicating them...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ports President Pat Filippone, quoted as saying the exterminator “came out and zapped them (the bees),” said Tuesday he hasn’t heard any concern from the community. He added that all he knows is the bees were removed by an exterminator — he can’t say for certain how they were killed, or even whether they were killed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve called the exterminator to ask what the ultimate outcome was — will post here if I get an explanation.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Baseball is changing from an escape from the workday world to an extension of the office. Jeffrey August works in network engineering for Facebook. \"I get asked to come to meetings that include a Giants game probably at least once a month during the baseball season,\" he said. \"Since 2006, I think I've been to a total of two meetings at the Oakland Coliseum.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\">Read more here\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Although we spent a lot of time on the stadium topic, there's even more to say about it. We didn't go into the issue of territorial rights, which is the immediate roadblock to the San Jose move that A's ownership wants to make. The rights to Santa Clara County are currently assigned by Major League Baseball to the San Francisco Giants. For the A's to get them, either the Giants have to be persuaded to relinquish them or MLB has to take them away. (A diarist at Athletics Nation just did a \u003ca href=\"//www.athleticsnation.com/2012/4/18/2958535/territorial-rights-a-not-so-brief-history\" target=\"_blank\">much more detailed history\u003c/a> on the territorial rights issue, if you're interested.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also didn't discuss the importance of broadcast revenues in baseball economics. Hypothetically a new stadium leads to a better team with better attendance, and then a better broadcast deal, and then more revenues to put back in the team, and even better attendance, and so on. This virtuous cycle is a very big factor in the success of big-market teams like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/story/2012-02-06/MLB-teams-using-lucrative-TV-deals-to-sign-talent/53032284/1\" target=\"_blank\">Yankees\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/08/sports/la-sp-angels-fox-tv-20111209\" target=\"_blank\">Angels\u003c/a>.

We didn't find answers to any of the questions about the A's future. What we did find, in the course of 18 interviews and a few community and city council events, was genuine concern for the best interests of the team on the part of everyone who chimed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLB owners have a scheduled meeting in mid-May; the question of the future home of the A's may be on the agenda, or it may not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the A's return to the Oakland Coliseum on Friday for a six-game homestand that will include \u003ca href=\"http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120416&content_id=28844050¬ebook_id=28844528&vkey=notebook_oak&c_id=oak\">a celebration\u003c/a> of Oakland's first World Series victory, in 1972.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Parts \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204030633\" target=\"_blank\">one\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204120633\" target=\"_blank\">two\u003c/a> of the A's ballpark series here.)\u003c/p>\n\n",

Baseball is changing from an escape from the workday world to an extension of the office. Jeffrey August works in network engineering for Facebook. \"I get asked to come to meetings that include a Giants game probably at least once a month during the baseball season,\" he said. \"Since 2006, I think I've been to a total of two meetings at the Oakland Coliseum.\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\">Read more here\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Although we spent a lot of time on the stadium topic, there's even more to say about it. We didn't go into the issue of territorial rights, which is the immediate roadblock to the San Jose move that A's ownership wants to make. The rights to Santa Clara County are currently assigned by Major League Baseball to the San Francisco Giants. For the A's to get them, either the Giants have to be persuaded to relinquish them or MLB has to take them away. (A diarist at Athletics Nation just did a \u003ca href=\"//www.athleticsnation.com/2012/4/18/2958535/territorial-rights-a-not-so-brief-history\" target=\"_blank\">much more detailed history\u003c/a> on the territorial rights issue, if you're interested.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also didn't discuss the importance of broadcast revenues in baseball economics. Hypothetically a new stadium leads to a better team with better attendance, and then a better broadcast deal, and then more revenues to put back in the team, and even better attendance, and so on. This virtuous cycle is a very big factor in the success of big-market teams like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/story/2012-02-06/MLB-teams-using-lucrative-TV-deals-to-sign-talent/53032284/1\" target=\"_blank\">Yankees\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/08/sports/la-sp-angels-fox-tv-20111209\" target=\"_blank\">Angels\u003c/a>. Not so for the A's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our last segment began with a quote from the film version of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.moneyball-movie.com/site/\" target=\"_blank\">Moneyball\u003c/a>\u003c/em> -- \"How can you not be romantic about baseball?\" We feel that as fans, of course, but we also know that there are unromantic business decisions behind what happens on the field. We didn't find answers to any of the questions about the A's future. What we did find, in the course of 18 interviews and a few community and city council events, was genuine concern for the best interests of the team on the part of everyone who chimed in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLB owners have a scheduled meeting in mid-May; the question of the future home of the A's may be on the agenda, or it may not. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is the “heart” of the minor league baseball team the San Rafael Pacifics, her colleague there, Zoe Fritz, told KQED intern Chelsea Hawkins. “Baseball was her main thing,” said Fritz. “She kept two baseballs on her desk and she said it gave her the most inspiration through the day.”\u003cimg alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The body of 46-year-old Marc Kasanin of Belvedere, Calif., was pulled from the water hours after the accident. The three remaining crew members survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A century-old tradition, the Full Crew Farallones Race has never been for the faint of heart: Winds averaging 10 to 20 knots and churning 14-foot Pacific Ocean swells are among the rough conditions typically braved by yachts and their crews during the daylong regatta, a spring favorite of skilled sailors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Saturday’s accident brought rare tragedy to the august race and the San Francisco Bay area’s large sailing community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One crew member died and four others went missing after being swept into the sea after two strong waves swept them from their boat near the rocky Farallon Islands, the halfway point of the 54-mile race that began at daybreak in San Francisco and had 49 entrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“There’s a window of survivability and we searched well beyond that window.” \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Yacht Club managed the race for the Offshore Yacht Racing Association and where the yacht involved in the accident, the 38-foot Low Speed Chase, was based, club director Ed Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The race community is a very tight-knit group of people, and obviously this tragedy has reached far and wide around the world,” Lynch said. “It’s an event that will give everybody pause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low Speed Chase’s owner and captain, 41-year-old James Bradford of Chicago, was among the three survivors whom the U.S. Coast Guard, assisted by National Guard helicopters, pulled from one of the islands about 300 feet from their damaged vessel, Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford and another crew member were briefly treated at a hospital, while the third survivor was admitted overnight with a broken leg and contusions, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven men and one woman on board ranged in age from their 20s to their 40s, according to Lynch. He said the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office has identified Kasanin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lynch said the yacht club, which is located just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco in Belvedere, has 1,400 members and is a place where “lawyers, carpenters and doctors can all have a beer together and talk about their love of sailing.” But Saturday’s race was likely to attract the most dedicated recreational sailors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Farallon Islands are a destination to go and sail around, and it is certainly some of the toughest conditions around in a sailing environment,” Lynch said. “It’s not for everybody, but for the people who do it, it’s a thrill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conditions during Saturday’s race were typically rough, but Low Speed Chase ran into trouble when it was broadsided by a large wave and some crew members were swept overboard, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the boat was turning around to get them, a second wave flung all but one of the remaining crew members into the water and the yacht aground, Lynch said. At least one other boat in the race witnessed the accident, but was unable to render aid without endangering its crew, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vessel master told investigators the yacht was rolled several times by the waves, the Coast Guard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Mayday call went out at about 3 p.m. PDT on Saturday, Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read said. Three helicopters, a surveillance plane, two patrol boats and a larger cutter were visually searching a 15-mile by 30-mile swath of water around the islands, as well as shoreline areas Sunday for the missing crew members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire crew was believed to have been wearing life vests and foul weather gear, which made rescuers optimistic they may find more survivors, Read said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wouldn’t have all the assets we have out there now if we weren’t hopeful,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farallon Islands are a series of steep, rocky outcroppings visible from San Francisco on a clear day and uninhabited except for a manned research station. Part of a national wildlife refuge and closed to the public, the islands are home to vast quantities of sea birds and are surrounded by waters rich with seals and sea lions, and sharks that feed on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Search crews have encountered plenty of wildlife in their search for the missing crew members, but have not reported seeing any sharks that would pose additional danger to anyone stuck in the water, Read said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low Speed Chase remains grounded on one of the islands while the search for survivors continues, he said. Search crews reported that the boat is intact, although Read said it is probably wrecked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>R. David Britt, a University of California, Davis chemist who skippered his sailboat, Split Water, in the Full Crew Farallones Race for the third time on Saturday, described the sailing out by the islands that day as “pretty intense.” Swells nearing 20-feet-high were breaking far enough from the craggy outcroppings that Britt says he steered farther around them than he otherwise might to avoid getting swamped by a wave or dashed onto the rocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The worst thing is to have a wave break on you,” he said. “You can go up and down, up and down, but if a wave breaks on the cockpit on top of the crew, that’s how somebody could get swept out of the boat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britt thinks he was not far ahead of Low Speed Chase as they rounded the islands, and thought it strange when he looked back later and no longer saw his competitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the day, people dropped roses and tulips by the entrance of the San Francisco Yacht Club, which hosted a members-only candlelight vigil and prayer service Sunday evening to honor the missing crew members and the one who died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Kasanin, the mother of the sailor who died, attended the service and was touched by how many people knew her son, who started sailing at age 7 and lived his whole life on the cove where the yacht club is located. He was a well-known local artist whose landscapes in acrylic and oil reflected his love of the water, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a very dear son to me and a tremendous help, and I’m going to miss him very much,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford and the other two survivors attended the vigil, but were too distraught to talk about their experience, Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Club member Brian Swift said that even though sailors are aware of the dangers of racing in open ocean, “what everybody is feeling is utter shock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Bay area is home to a vibrant sailing scene, with more than 35 yacht clubs ringing the bay’s chilly, wind-whipped waters. Due to steady winds, easy access and a picturesque backdrop featuring the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Coit Tower, the city of San Francisco was chosen to host the 2013 America’s Cup, the sport’s marquee event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dangers, however, such as strong tides and commercial shipping. Those dangers, including strong winds, increase when sailors are on the open ocean beyond the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Results from last year’s Full Crew Farallones Race posted on the web site of the Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay shows that Bradford entered Low Speed Chase in the event, but did not finish it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The three remaining crew members survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A century-old tradition, the Full Crew Farallones Race has never been for the faint of heart: Winds averaging 10 to 20 knots and churning 14-foot Pacific Ocean swells are among the rough conditions typically braved by yachts and their crews during the daylong regatta, a spring favorite of skilled sailors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Saturday’s accident brought rare tragedy to the august race and the San Francisco Bay area’s large sailing community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One crew member died and four others went missing after being swept into the sea after two strong waves swept them from their boat near the rocky Farallon Islands, the halfway point of the 54-mile race that began at daybreak in San Francisco and had 49 entrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“There’s a window of survivability and we searched well beyond that window.” \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Yacht Club managed the race for the Offshore Yacht Racing Association and where the yacht involved in the accident, the 38-foot Low Speed Chase, was based, club director Ed Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The race community is a very tight-knit group of people, and obviously this tragedy has reached far and wide around the world,” Lynch said. “It’s an event that will give everybody pause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low Speed Chase’s owner and captain, 41-year-old James Bradford of Chicago, was among the three survivors whom the U.S. Coast Guard, assisted by National Guard helicopters, pulled from one of the islands about 300 feet from their damaged vessel, Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford and another crew member were briefly treated at a hospital, while the third survivor was admitted overnight with a broken leg and contusions, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven men and one woman on board ranged in age from their 20s to their 40s, according to Lynch. He said the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office has identified Kasanin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lynch said the yacht club, which is located just over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco in Belvedere, has 1,400 members and is a place where “lawyers, carpenters and doctors can all have a beer together and talk about their love of sailing.” But Saturday’s race was likely to attract the most dedicated recreational sailors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Farallon Islands are a destination to go and sail around, and it is certainly some of the toughest conditions around in a sailing environment,” Lynch said. “It’s not for everybody, but for the people who do it, it’s a thrill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conditions during Saturday’s race were typically rough, but Low Speed Chase ran into trouble when it was broadsided by a large wave and some crew members were swept overboard, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the boat was turning around to get them, a second wave flung all but one of the remaining crew members into the water and the yacht aground, Lynch said. At least one other boat in the race witnessed the accident, but was unable to render aid without endangering its crew, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vessel master told investigators the yacht was rolled several times by the waves, the Coast Guard said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Mayday call went out at about 3 p.m. PDT on Saturday, Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read said. Three helicopters, a surveillance plane, two patrol boats and a larger cutter were visually searching a 15-mile by 30-mile swath of water around the islands, as well as shoreline areas Sunday for the missing crew members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire crew was believed to have been wearing life vests and foul weather gear, which made rescuers optimistic they may find more survivors, Read said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wouldn’t have all the assets we have out there now if we weren’t hopeful,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farallon Islands are a series of steep, rocky outcroppings visible from San Francisco on a clear day and uninhabited except for a manned research station. Part of a national wildlife refuge and closed to the public, the islands are home to vast quantities of sea birds and are surrounded by waters rich with seals and sea lions, and sharks that feed on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Search crews have encountered plenty of wildlife in their search for the missing crew members, but have not reported seeing any sharks that would pose additional danger to anyone stuck in the water, Read said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low Speed Chase remains grounded on one of the islands while the search for survivors continues, he said. Search crews reported that the boat is intact, although Read said it is probably wrecked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>R. David Britt, a University of California, Davis chemist who skippered his sailboat, Split Water, in the Full Crew Farallones Race for the third time on Saturday, described the sailing out by the islands that day as “pretty intense.” Swells nearing 20-feet-high were breaking far enough from the craggy outcroppings that Britt says he steered farther around them than he otherwise might to avoid getting swamped by a wave or dashed onto the rocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The worst thing is to have a wave break on you,” he said. “You can go up and down, up and down, but if a wave breaks on the cockpit on top of the crew, that’s how somebody could get swept out of the boat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Britt thinks he was not far ahead of Low Speed Chase as they rounded the islands, and thought it strange when he looked back later and no longer saw his competitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the day, people dropped roses and tulips by the entrance of the San Francisco Yacht Club, which hosted a members-only candlelight vigil and prayer service Sunday evening to honor the missing crew members and the one who died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anne Kasanin, the mother of the sailor who died, attended the service and was touched by how many people knew her son, who started sailing at age 7 and lived his whole life on the cove where the yacht club is located. He was a well-known local artist whose landscapes in acrylic and oil reflected his love of the water, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a very dear son to me and a tremendous help, and I’m going to miss him very much,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford and the other two survivors attended the vigil, but were too distraught to talk about their experience, Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Club member Brian Swift said that even though sailors are aware of the dangers of racing in open ocean, “what everybody is feeling is utter shock.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Bay area is home to a vibrant sailing scene, with more than 35 yacht clubs ringing the bay’s chilly, wind-whipped waters. Due to steady winds, easy access and a picturesque backdrop featuring the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Coit Tower, the city of San Francisco was chosen to host the 2013 America’s Cup, the sport’s marquee event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dangers, however, such as strong tides and commercial shipping. Those dangers, including strong winds, increase when sailors are on the open ocean beyond the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Barbieri describes the firing this way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I've heard it said that this was an amicable parting. That is not exactly the case. I came to work (Tuesday) morning, totally unaware that anything of this nature was afoot, especially since my contract didn't end until Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as I walked in, I was told that the General Manager wanted to see me. I went into his office. He and the program director were there. I was told that I was being terminated and that today, April 10, would be my last day at KNBR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They presented me with about 100 pages of legal documents and told me to get to them after I had read them. I was told to gather my belongings and turn in my card key, at which point I was \"escorted\" out of the building by a KNBR management person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whole process took about 7 minutes. Twenty-eight years and change at KNBR they had neatly wrapped up for me in 7 minutes. Let's see: Four years for every minute. You got to admit that's pretty darn time efficient - not to mention incredibly classy. Oh, and when I got to my car and tried to access my voicemail, which contained about 20 messages, I found that the station had cut off access to my voicemail. I'll have more to say later.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, Tom Tolbert, Barbieri's broadcast partner of 15 years, opened the show formerly called \"The Razor and Mr. T\" and now called just \"Mr. T,\" with a highly emotional tribute to Barbieri that started like this...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For those of you who do not know… my partner of 15 years, Ralph Barbieri, is no longer with KNBR. You know it's tough when you've been with somebody that long….(pause, choking up) 15 years… (long pause, choking up)… I knew this was going to be tough… I mean you come in here...every single day, and you just kind of take it for granted it's gonna go on forever…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As much as we watch sports and we see careers come and go, you're never really prepared for when they end. And they all do...I was at UC Irvine as a freshman when Ralph started here, 28 years ago…I doubt very much I would be where I am without him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the reason why, that was above my head, so I'm not going to get into that….\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.knbr.com/Portals/3/0411tomsegment.mp3\">\u003cstrong>listen to the audio here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Barbieri describes the firing this way:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I've heard it said that this was an amicable parting. That is not exactly the case. I came to work (Tuesday) morning, totally unaware that anything of this nature was afoot, especially since my contract didn't end until Nov. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as I walked in, I was told that the General Manager wanted to see me. I went into his office. He and the program director were there. I was told that I was being terminated and that today, April 10, would be my last day at KNBR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They presented me with about 100 pages of legal documents and told me to get to them after I had read them. I was told to gather my belongings and turn in my card key, at which point I was \"escorted\" out of the building by a KNBR management person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whole process took about 7 minutes. Twenty-eight years and change at KNBR they had neatly wrapped up for me in 7 minutes. Let's see: Four years for every minute. You got to admit that's pretty darn time efficient - not to mention incredibly classy. Oh, and when I got to my car and tried to access my voicemail, which contained about 20 messages, I found that the station had cut off access to my voicemail. I'll have more to say later.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, Tom Tolbert, Barbieri's broadcast partner of 15 years, opened the show formerly called \"The Razor and Mr. T\" and now called just \"Mr. T,\" with a highly emotional tribute to Barbieri that started like this...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For those of you who do not know… my partner of 15 years, Ralph Barbieri, is no longer with KNBR. You know it's tough when you've been with somebody that long….(pause, choking up) 15 years… (long pause, choking up)… I knew this was going to be tough… I mean you come in here...every single day, and you just kind of take it for granted it's gonna go on forever…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As much as we watch sports and we see careers come and go, you're never really prepared for when they end. And they all do...I was at UC Irvine as a freshman when Ralph started here, 28 years ago…I doubt very much I would be where I am without him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the reason why, that was above my head, so I'm not going to get into that….\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.knbr.com/Portals/3/0411tomsegment.mp3\">\u003cstrong>listen to the audio here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Well, that couple of years has turned into a dozen, and they're still not here, and we're still waiting for a decision from Bud Selig and Major League Baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be a major metropolitan area with a core city like San Jose, you need a number of things. You need the arts, you need a ballet, you need museums like the Tech and the San Jose Museum of Art and the Triton and the others. You need good traffic and transportation alternatives. You need parks and recreation. You need colleges and hospitals. Professional sports are just one part of it, not the most important part, but it's part of what makes a major metropolitan area, it's why you want to live somewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are always concerned about parking and traffic, but here's what I learned from the Sharks. The way you smooth out or dilute the traffic is by having something to do before the game and after the game. People come to a Sharks game way early and eat or drink, and the same after the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most important component is the number of ways in and out. I go to a Sharks game and I'm on 280 heading north no more than 10 minutes after the game. We have excellent traffic access and opportunities -- 87, 280, 101, or Coleman Avenue to 880. And between the HP Pavilion and the ballpark is Diridon Station. BART will be there, heavy rail is there now, Caltrain, light rail goes through there as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arena (HP Pavilion) passed in the early 90's, by a very narrow margin with a lot of opposition. Today you can't find three people that'll admit they voted against it. And I think the same thing will happen with the ballpark. There's always fears about certain things that never seem to happen. There's some people that are just threatened, by the arts, threatened by sports, and they will always exist. Of course it's perfectly appropriate for citizens, particularly those that reside nearby, to raise questions, and that's what the environmental review process is part of as well. Once those things are adjusted and meaninful concessions made, I would love to see people say \"Okay, let's go.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the problems with the Coliseum is there are too many seats. In the 70s, I walked up and bought a ticket at game time to the World Series. When you have too many seats, you're not compelled to buy season tickets. And when you're not compelled to buy season tickets, then the performance of the team on the field dictates your attendance. And that's the biggest problem the A's have; they have a loyal fan base, they have a rich history of success in baseball, much more so than the San Francisco Giants, but if you don't feel you need to buy season tickets in order to get a good seat at the game, it's a self-defeating prophecy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's why Lew Wolff wants to build a substantially smaller ballpark. There are more Red Sox or Yankees fans at A's games when they're the opponents than there are A's fans. That's embarrassing and it's disappointing, particularly for an A's fan. I think given the issues that the A's are having with attendance and broadcast revenue, that the A's need San Jose desperately. And we will welcome them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Earthquakes are here, they're going to build a new stadium, the Sharks have been a tremendous success, the 49ers are coming to Santa Clara and will be a great asset to this city and this county and this region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the A's, as Lew Wolff has indicated, just can't sustain their current situation much longer. And I believe the Giants think if they can cause them to sustain their current situation much longer, they will control the entire baseball market in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Michael Mulcahy, a lifelong A's fan, is the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.probaseballforsanjose.com/\">Baseball San Jose\u003c/a>, a group that supports a downtown ballpark and the relocation of the A's franchise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This is that next shot in the arm that allows San Jose to build upon its reputation as the capital of Silicon Valley, the center of innovation. And to build a community that has all the assets that are going to attract good employees, families that want to live and stay and work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">If you're a California baseball fan, an Oakland A's fan, you sure better hope they land in San Jose because California could lose the team entirely.\u003cbr>\n-Michael Mulcahy, president of Baseball San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>We've seen in San Jose what Major League sports can do. The Sharks are a perfect example. The spirit of our city is rising or falling depending on whether the Sharks are in third position for the playoff hunt, or eighth or ninth and out of the picture. Because our people in downtown San Jose, the business owners, the restaurant owners, know that their entire month of April and May rises and falls on whether or not the Sharks make the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose needs the A's as much as the A's need San Jose, and frankly I think that if you're a California baseball fan, an Oakland A's fan, you sure better hope they land in San Jose because California could lose the team entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that time heals all wounds and winning heals all wounds. And I think if we're in a wonderful intimate ballpark that's accessible by Caltrain, in a downtown where there's all the services and restaurants and parking, I think we'll be able to attract not just those East Bay fans, but beyond...people who live south of San Jose who are two hours plus away from AT&T Park or the Oakland Coliseum. You add the region down to Salinas and out to Monterey and through Santa Cruz and Watsonville -- it broadens the baseball community that much more.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Marc Morris heads an independent citizen group called \u003ca href=\"//www.bettersensesanjose.org/\">Better Sense San Jose\u003c/a>, which is opposed to the ballpark deal. (The organization is not to be confused with Stand For San Jose, a group which is at least partly financed by the Giants's San Jose Class A franchise, and which has actually \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/03/stand-for-san-jose-sues-city_n_1127229.html\">filed suit against the ballpark plan\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We think of this as essentially a vanity project for the city political leaders, and to some extent the business community, that will deliver much less benefit than promised, and cost the city and the residents of San Jose much more than we're being told.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's the great prestige argument (that sports teams increase a city's visibility). And I just ask people, look at Detroit. Detroit has major league baseball, major league football, major league basketball, major league hockey. What do you think about when you think of Detroit? You don't think \"prestige,\" you think \"economic collapse.\" And you don't have to look any further than Oakland to see the same thing. Oakland has baseball, football, and basketball, and while Oakland has a lot of good things, good restaurants and good neighborhoods, it does not get a great deal of respect, unfortunately. So the notion that major league sports brands your city in any way is silly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The reason for building these new stadiums is to put in a lot more high-priced seats and luxury boxes that only corporations can afford.\u003cbr>\n-Marc Morris, Better Sense San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It's fundamentally about money and nothing but money. And the money these days, and the reason for building these new stadiums, is to put in a lot more high-priced seats and luxury boxes that only corporations can afford. And also to build all the concessions in, the places where you buy beer and food and merchandise. That negates the notion that this would generate business outside the stadium, because the whole purpose of the stadium is to capture all the money inside the stadium for the benefit of the team ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're concerned about the impact, not only on the neighborhoods around the stadium, but to the city as a whole. Even aside from the impact on people trying to get to the game, or to downtown or out of downtown, anyone who lives in south San Jose who's commuting to north San Jose where the jobs are, or going up the Peninsula, cannot avoid that freeway traffic. It's just going to be a nightmare.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Next week's story: economic implications of an A's move for both San Jose and Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And I believe the Giants think if they can cause them to sustain their current situation much longer, they will control the entire baseball market in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Michael Mulcahy, a lifelong A's fan, is the president of \u003ca href=\"http://www.probaseballforsanjose.com/\">Baseball San Jose\u003c/a>, a group that supports a downtown ballpark and the relocation of the A's franchise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This is that next shot in the arm that allows San Jose to build upon its reputation as the capital of Silicon Valley, the center of innovation. And to build a community that has all the assets that are going to attract good employees, families that want to live and stay and work here.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">If you're a California baseball fan, an Oakland A's fan, you sure better hope they land in San Jose because California could lose the team entirely.\u003cbr>\n-Michael Mulcahy, president of Baseball San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>We've seen in San Jose what Major League sports can do. The Sharks are a perfect example. The spirit of our city is rising or falling depending on whether the Sharks are in third position for the playoff hunt, or eighth or ninth and out of the picture. Because our people in downtown San Jose, the business owners, the restaurant owners, know that their entire month of April and May rises and falls on whether or not the Sharks make the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose needs the A's as much as the A's need San Jose, and frankly I think that if you're a California baseball fan, an Oakland A's fan, you sure better hope they land in San Jose because California could lose the team entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that time heals all wounds and winning heals all wounds. And I think if we're in a wonderful intimate ballpark that's accessible by Caltrain, in a downtown where there's all the services and restaurants and parking, I think we'll be able to attract not just those East Bay fans, but beyond...people who live south of San Jose who are two hours plus away from AT&T Park or the Oakland Coliseum. You add the region down to Salinas and out to Monterey and through Santa Cruz and Watsonville -- it broadens the baseball community that much more.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Marc Morris heads an independent citizen group called \u003ca href=\"//www.bettersensesanjose.org/\">Better Sense San Jose\u003c/a>, which is opposed to the ballpark deal. (The organization is not to be confused with Stand For San Jose, a group which is at least partly financed by the Giants's San Jose Class A franchise, and which has actually \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/03/stand-for-san-jose-sues-city_n_1127229.html\">filed suit against the ballpark plan\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We think of this as essentially a vanity project for the city political leaders, and to some extent the business community, that will deliver much less benefit than promised, and cost the city and the residents of San Jose much more than we're being told.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's the great prestige argument (that sports teams increase a city's visibility). And I just ask people, look at Detroit. Detroit has major league baseball, major league football, major league basketball, major league hockey. What do you think about when you think of Detroit? You don't think \"prestige,\" you think \"economic collapse.\" And you don't have to look any further than Oakland to see the same thing. Oakland has baseball, football, and basketball, and while Oakland has a lot of good things, good restaurants and good neighborhoods, it does not get a great deal of respect, unfortunately. So the notion that major league sports brands your city in any way is silly.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The reason for building these new stadiums is to put in a lot more high-priced seats and luxury boxes that only corporations can afford.\u003cbr>\n-Marc Morris, Better Sense San Jose\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It's fundamentally about money and nothing but money. And the money these days, and the reason for building these new stadiums, is to put in a lot more high-priced seats and luxury boxes that only corporations can afford. And also to build all the concessions in, the places where you buy beer and food and merchandise. That negates the notion that this would generate business outside the stadium, because the whole purpose of the stadium is to capture all the money inside the stadium for the benefit of the team ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're concerned about the impact, not only on the neighborhoods around the stadium, but to the city as a whole. Even aside from the impact on people trying to get to the game, or to downtown or out of downtown, anyone who lives in south San Jose who's commuting to north San Jose where the jobs are, or going up the Peninsula, cannot avoid that freeway traffic. It's just going to be a nightmare.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Next week's story: economic implications of an A's move for both San Jose and Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
