"bio": "Alex Emslie is senior editor of talent and development at KQED, where he manages dozens of early career journalists and oversees news department internships.\r\n\r\nHe is a former carpenter and proud graduate of City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University, where he studied journalism and criminal justice before joining KQED in 2013.\r\n\r\nAlex produced investigative journalism focused on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11667594/the-trials-of-marvin-mutch-video\">criminal justice\u003c/a> and policing for most of a decade. He has broken major stories about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/135682/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out\">police use of deadly force\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10454955/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\">officer misconduct\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712239/terrorist-or-troll-judge-to-weigh-whether-oakland-man-really-intended-to-attack-bay-area\">other\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11221414/hayward-paid-159000-to-husband-of-retired-police-chief-documents-show\">high\u003c/a>-\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10622762/the-forgotten-tracking-two-homicides-in-san-francisco-public-housing\">profile\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11624516/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing\">cases\u003c/a>. He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods. His \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/147854/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\">reporting\u003c/a> on police killings of people in psychiatric crisis was cited in amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nAlex now enjoys mentoring the next generation of journalists at KQED.",

Major League Baseball currently assigns the territorial rights to Santa Clara County to the San Francisco Giants. It can revoke those rights if three-fourths of the clubs agree, but baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hasn’t wanted to put the issue to a vote, preferring to try to find a solution acceptable to everyone who's got a stake in the A's moving—or staying in Oakland (or possibly hoping that the whole question will go away before his scheduled retirement in 2015).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose says that every day it waits, it's losing revenue and jobs that construction and a functioning ballpark would bring to the city. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/filelibrary/1209/C-13-2787_COMPLT_WITH%20EXHIBITS.pdf\">The city's lawsuit\u003c/a> contends that Major League Baseball is conspiring to interfere with the option it has granted the A’s to purchase land near Diridon Station downtown, on which team owners, led by Lew Wolff, would build a ballpark. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baseball's lawyers argue, unsurprisingly, that the city doesn't have a leg to stand on. First, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, the major leagues have been exempt from federal antitrust law since the 1920s, and the MLB court filing argues it would take congressional action to change that. The filing also says that though baseball’s failure to grant the A's permission to move is one reason the team is still in Oakland, there are a number of other obstacles standing between the city and its dreams of having a major league team. Those barriers include the uncertain legal status of the land the city bought through its now-defunct redevelopment agency, acquisition of some other land the city doesn’t own, and the need for the city to formally approve a stadium project. This, the suit alleges, makes any damages San Jose has suffered extremely speculative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, Major League Baseball says San Jose doesn't even have standing in the case, since baseball never had any relationship with the city.

The new place, named after a phone company, opened in 2000, and the crowds have rolled in even when the home team's play was less than inspiring. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics, on the other hand, are playing in the badly remodeled Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, the multipurpose stadium that became their home in 1968 after the late owner Charles O. Finley moved the franchise from Kansas City. In addition to the botched renovations, undertaken in the mid-1990s to make the facility more welcoming to the Oakland Raiders, the stadium is showing its age. Last month, for instance, a sewage backup forced both the A's and visiting Seattle Mariners to flee their clubhouses to take their postgame showers in the Raiders's locker room. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland A's owner Lew Wolff would love to be done with the Coliseum. He's been trying for years to take the team to San Jose. The Giants have made that impossible, so far, by invoking their territorial rights to the South Bay. That led San Jose to sue Major League Baseball over its failure to resolve the situation. Meantime, Oakland city officials are still trying to nail down a bona fide site for a new waterfront ballpark. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as we have two teams to root for locally, KQED News has two staffers who have just produced stories on the A's stadium issue for national outlets attracted to the story by the San Jose lawsuit.

The secret to that is from hands-on experimentation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more than the experience of preparing large meals firsthand, Paige also sees the program impacting his life outside the kitchen’s walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel a lot more confidence in myself. My kids look at me when I come home, ‘Daddy’s a cook, he’s a chef.’ Family feels a lot better, and it’s boosted my energy level,” he said. “This school opens doors for everybody, this is a fair chance for everybody. Lots of people didn’t graduate high school, but you come here, you get a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kevin Davis, a student in transition from a job working security for Oakland, seconds that sentiment, and feels the meals he’s learning to make have the potential to spread the spirit of integration well beyond the Kitchen of Champions, catering to the sustainability of the whole city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the connection that food brings, pulling families and cultures together,” he said. “In the melting pot of Oakland, food can help some of the tension we have.
