"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.",

In that last visit, they beat Villanova, a certified East Coast hoops power, to make it to the Sweet 16.

Earthquakes' president Dave Kaval says the team is sensitive to those issues and especially to that bane of the 2010 World Cup, the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vuvuzela\" target=\"_blank\">vuvuzuela\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We feel that we have a plan that mitigates that, both in the way we’ve designed the stadium and the way we have restrictions on not bringing vuvuzuelas and some other kinds of noisemakers. At our current stadium, Buck Shaw, we actually ban vuvuzuelas, air horns, whistles, things that can take away from the ambience of the venue. But we do allow some drums for specific supporters’ groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kaval stressed that the Quakes respect the process that allows community input at this point. But he said neighbors should keep the history of the area in mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Previously the site was used to build M-2 Bradley armored personnel carriers. We did the demolition work on the old factory last year. So if you consider what it was, a tank factory, and now it's going to be a professional sports venue, that's a pretty big change. It’s gentrification of an area that had been blighted and unused, which is a real positive for the community.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked him what happens to the land if the Quakes don’t succeed in putting a stadium there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The reality is maybe nothing would get built here. Maybe it would just lie empty for a long time. We have the option to develop the whole property, so in the long term this would include the stadium on 14 acres, our practice facility, and four lighted and turfed public soccer fields. And we have it zoned for a hotel and commercial real estate. It’s going to be a great gateway into San Jose for all the people arriving at the airport.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kaval came to the Earthquakes in the fall of 2010 after founding independent baseball’s California Golden League. But soccer has always been a passion for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’ve lived here since the early 1990’s. I went to games when the team was the San Jose Clash, and to the earlier version of the Quakes before the team left for Houston. The Earthquakes originally go back to 1974, when the team started playing in the North American Soccer League in San Jose. It was the first pro sports team in Silicon Valley. For a lot of people who were here at the time, it really helped put the community on the map, and created a lot of camaraderie and civic pride. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And Kaval thinks a new stadium that would belong to the Quakes, instead of the rented college facilities the team has had up to now, would bring a whole new fan base with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Similar to when the Sharks got here. Who knew about hockey before we got a hockey team here? And it’s been wildly successful. Well, people already know about soccer. It’s the perfect sport for this international, diverse community of the Silicon Valley. People come here from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and for many of them their number one sport is soccer.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>If the Planning Commission gives the green light, construction could start later this year and the Quakes could kick off by the end of 2013. No city money is involved, says Kaval; the team is providing all the funding. The Quakes share ownership with the Oakland A's, who might have a new San Jose stadium of their own if Major League Baseball allows them to move south. Kaval says links between the two stadium proposals have been overblown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We’re really run as our own entity. This process is really a stand-alone process. Since our ownership is basically the same as the A’s, any learning from this, best practices, and how to work with communities, can be helpful to them. But they’re not linked in the way that some people might assume. The financing is completely separate, and obviously it’s a different sport, different league, different location.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The hearing’s at San Jose City Hall at 6:30 PM and will be \u003ca href=\"http://sanjose.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=35\">streamed online\u003c/a>.

It’s gentrification of an area that had been blighted and unused, which is a real positive for the community.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I asked him what happens to the land if the Quakes don’t succeed in putting a stadium there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The reality is maybe nothing would get built here. Maybe it would just lie empty for a long time. We have the option to develop the whole property, so in the long term this would include the stadium on 14 acres, our practice facility, and four lighted and turfed public soccer fields. And we have it zoned for a hotel and commercial real estate. It’s going to be a great gateway into San Jose for all the people arriving at the airport.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Kaval came to the Earthquakes in the fall of 2010 after founding independent baseball’s California Golden League. But soccer has always been a passion for him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’ve lived here since the early 1990’s. I went to games when the team was the San Jose Clash, and to the earlier version of the Quakes before the team left for Houston. The Earthquakes originally go back to 1974, when the team started playing in the North American Soccer League in San Jose. It was the first pro sports team in Silicon Valley. For a lot of people who were here at the time, it really helped put the community on the map, and created a lot of camaraderie and civic pride. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And Kaval thinks a new stadium that would belong to the Quakes, instead of the rented college facilities the team has had up to now, would bring a whole new fan base with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Similar to when the Sharks got here. Who knew about hockey before we got a hockey team here? And it’s been wildly successful. Well, people already know about soccer. It’s the perfect sport for this international, diverse community of the Silicon Valley. People come here from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and for many of them their number one sport is soccer.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>If the Planning Commission gives the green light, construction could start later this year and the Quakes could kick off by the end of 2013. No city money is involved, says Kaval; the team is providing all the funding. The Quakes share ownership with the Oakland A's, who might have a new San Jose stadium of their own if Major League Baseball allows them to move south. Kaval says links between the two stadium proposals have been overblown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We’re really run as our own entity. This process is really a stand-alone process. Since our ownership is basically the same as the A’s, any learning from this, best practices, and how to work with communities, can be helpful to them. But they’re not linked in the way that some people might assume. The financing is completely separate, and obviously it’s a different sport, different league, different location.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The hearing’s at San Jose City Hall at 6:30 PM and will be \u003ca href=\"http://sanjose.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=35\">streamed online\u003c/a>. We’ll have more on this story Thursday morning on KQED News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And Jeremy Lin’s sloppiness was one of the problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin committed nine turnovers, tied for the most in the NBA this season, and the New York Knicks had their seven-game winning streak stopped with an 89-85 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin scored 26 points, but his turnovers nearly doubled his five assists and the Knicks lost for the first time since Linsanity began, falling back below .500 at 15-16 heading into a matchup with the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trevor Ariza scored 25 points for the Hornets, who have won three in a row after a 4-23 start. Marco Belinelli added 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amare Stoudemire had 26 points and 12 rebounds for New York. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Playing for the sixth straight game without injured All-Star Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks missed 20 of their 24 3-point attempts, were only 19 of 29 on free throws and were flat early, quieting a crowd that has been buzzing since Lin joined the rotation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down by 12 early in the fourth, the Knicks made a run with Lin on the bench, and cut it to 73-71 when Jared Jeffries hit a free throw after Lin returned during a timeout with 5:29 left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Knicks got it down to two again on Lin’s free throws with 1:06 to play, but Gustavo Ayon answered with a bucket, Lin missed wildly on a drive to the basket, and when Belinelli’s free throws with 25 seconds left made it 87-82, fans began heading for the exits, perhaps in search of Lin-burgers, “Lings”— Asian-spiced chicken wings—or “Lintinis,” Lin-spired items that have begun popping up at bars around the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus ended a remarkable run by the Knicks, who were 8-15 when coach Mike D’Antoni finally turned to Lin, the undrafted point guard from Harvard who was perhaps days from being cut for the third time this season when got this sputtering team on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They only figure to get stronger in the coming days. Anthony worked out before the game and is close to returning, and the Knicks signed his former Denver teammate, J.R. Smith, on Friday. Smith is eligible to return to the NBA after his Chinese team’s season ended, and the Knicks believe he will strengthen their poor 3-point shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none of that helped Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poor performance came just as many New York residents finally got to see Lin for the first time. Fueled largely by the Asian-American’s popularity, MSG network and Time Warner reached a tentative deal Friday that puts Knicks games for some 2 million Time Warner Cable subscribers in the New York area. New York state officials and the NBA had pressured the companies to settle the dispute that began Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left them out of Linsanity, which has made the Knicks the story in New York, where they have ranked much lower on the sports’ scene in recent years. The crowd of cameras and reporters at the morning shootaround was so large that one reporter cracked that the Knicks must have signed Kobe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who needs him? The Knicks already beat the Lakers, when Lin poured in 38 points to outscore Bryant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s turned Lin, who graced the cover of this week’s Sports Illustrated, into one of sports’ most unlikely stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I lived through Vinsanity when I was with Toronto in Canada and that was big then, but this is bigger than that,” said Knicks interim general manager Glen Grunwald, referring to when Vince Carter played for the Raptors. “It’s really hard to believe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was finally halted in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd in which many fans wore shirts that read either Lin or Linsanity above his No. 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spike Lee, who usually wears Landry Fields’ No. 2, switched up to a different model. He donned Lin’s high school jersey from Palo Alto, Calif. a dark green No. 4 he wore over a neon green long sleeve shirt, clashing horribly with the Hornets’ green and purple Mardi Gras uniforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ugliest thing at the start was the Knicks’ offense. Lin’s five turnovers in the first quarter matched their number of baskets, and Chris Kaman had 10 points to lead the Hornets to a 27-13 lead. The Knicks cut it to 43-39 at the half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The game was originally scheduled for ESPN, back when the story would have been Chris Paul’s last visit to New York before the Knicks’ expected pursuit this summer in free agency. Instead, the Knicks took themselves out of the free agent market by acquiring Tyson Chandler, Paul was dealt the Clippers, and the Knicks looked like they might have lasting point guard woes until Lin’s emergence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he’s been turnover prone—committing at least six in five straight games—and it finally came back to cost the Knicks this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notes: NBAstore.com has shipped Lin merchandise to 23 countries since Feb. 4, with Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia ranking only behind the United States and Canada in largest shipments. … The Knicks had won the previous six meetings. Their longest current winning streak against an opponent is eight straight wins over Washington. … The Knicks paid tribute to former Mets catcher Gary Carter, who died Thursday, during a first-quarter timeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Today's Lin links...\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19973122\">Palo Alto middle school's yearbooks offered for Lin-sane prices \u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLzrLXQIbwM&feature=player_embedded\">Video: Jeremy Lin, A Day in the Life\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/5884978/the-non-sports-fans-guide-to-jeremy-lin?tag=explainer\">The Non Sports Fan’s Guide to Jeremy Lin\u003c/a> (Gawker)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/02/16/SP0S1N8N52.DTL\">Reaction to Lin's success shows underlying racism\u003c/a> (Gwen Knapp, SF Chronicle)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/jeremy-lin-has-helped-me-through-some-pretty-tough-times\">Jeremy Lin has helped me through some pretty tough times\u003c/a> (Jesse Eisenberg, McSweeney's)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/warriors/ci_19972040\">Warriors G.M.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
