Chp Officials Say last nates detonation went smoothly. They couldnt figure out exactly what the substance was. And then they eliminated the detonation. Probably incontinue rate quickly and time for the device to work. Reporter as you might imagine all this has left neighbors feeling uneasy. I didnt know what was going on, if he had chemicals. He was just like a normal guy. Reporter they say he often was fatigued, was exmilitary and had a lot of surveillance cameras in his front yard. Today investigators say they found some of the evidence they were searching for initially relating to the threats against a state official but are not saying who that official is. They elected basham in sunnyvale, facing several charges including making a threat to a public official to dissuade them, a manufactured explosive. Today we learned basham once worked with apple cofounder steve wozniak, in a statement to nbc bay area wozniak described everett as a brilliant engineer who left at its founding stage. I admire thinking highly, everett is distrustful of the government as many of us are. The bomb squad intends to detonate the can devices that they found today.

Only on nbc, the frontline in the fight against car thieves. We ride along with south bay police officers. Most likely youre the one. And bigtime College Athletics costing higher public educati education . Tonight the Investigative Unit adds up to the true cost of competing at the highest level. Good evening, im jeff ranieri live in the weather center. Here is the problem. Only ten rain days in the south bay in all of 2013. Rain in the seven day forecast. Well have that for you coming up this hour. Cut budgets have reignited debates. The question is, is the price of competing in big time sports at the university of california hurting the academic bougttom line . Critics say yes and they point at uc berkeley as the example. Teamed up with the Investigative Reporting Program in certificse answers. Raj, jessica, all across cal berkel berkeleys campus budgets are being cut because they are not funding the school like they used to. One department has seen it increase in this budget, athletics. This budget has nearly doubled in less than a decade and that has some on the academic side crying foul. Its a program out of control. An Athletics Program that the doctor says fwrgrows while her research suffers. Reporter patterns that she says she can no longer accomplish. So i passed on being an investigator a couple years back because i didnt have the Lab Resources to do the work. Reporter and its not just in the lab but in the classroom. We are offering fewer and fewer classes to all of the students. If you only have so much in the pot, where are you going to put it . Reporter the professor has been teaching here for 52 years. She is worried about what cal is spending money on. Its out of control. And if you ask people why, thats what the market requires. I thought we were when we decided. Reporter take a look at these numbers, cals athletic budget doubles from 45 million in 2004 to a projected 90 million this year. Only a fraction of projected 4. 5 million this year comes directly from the schools, the rest supplied by Team Revenues and donations. During the same time state funding for the Berkeley Campus as a whole dropped by 160 million forcing student tuition to more than double. While conceding tough Economic TimesIntercollegiate Athletics are critical to berkeleys success. I am absolutely convinced that because of having the athletics on campus and thats why its at a high level, division i level. Reporter at the same time academics has seen cutbacks, cal athletics paid off tedford up to 5. 5 million not to coach football. And these documents show berkeley is paying Louisiana Tech a half million more dollars to buy out the old contract of his replacement, sunny dikes. Details of his new contract are still to be announced. The administration for the payouts comes from donations not campus funds. But some professors say the payouts serve as a lesson in priorities. Athletics is one of the many things that cost money. Reporter the chancellor points out that most of the athletic departments budget comes from outside sources sup as donations, ticket sales, tv contracts and other ref gnaws but thats not enough to fund the program completely so the university had has to pay out the difference. I would be extremely happy about that. But we dont require that. Reporter the difference the campus has to pay out came to nearly 11 million in 2009, 7 million last year, and a projected 4. 5 million at the end of this fiscal year. Is the payoff worth it . Absolutely worth it. First of all, i couldnt imagine having a second rate Athletics Program. Reporter the chancellor also points out the contribution to Intercollegiate Athletics makes up less than onethird of 1 of the universitys 2. 3 billion overall budget, a budget that continues to actually grow despite the dramatic decline in Financial Support from sacramento. If we did not have the support, a shortfall, tens of millions of dollars. Reporter but does competing at the highest levels of the ncaa come with other costs . There are very few programs in this country that many of them have principles. Reporter dempsey served as president of the ncaa for nine years. He now consults for University Athletic programs around the country from his home in la jolla. Dempsey says uc berkeley is not alone. Up to 340 division i Athletic Programs only 23 actually bring in more money than they spend, and berkeley is not one of them. A problem where we are so that it has to come to big business and with that theres so much focus to generate revenues. Reporter that is what is commonly called the arms race in the ncaa. Bigger and bigger salaries for coaches, bigger and Bigger Capital campaigns to build more facilities to attract athletes and keep up with the other guys. Some on the campus of berkeley say if this trend continues berkeley is likely to be confronted again and again. At what cost does it maintain a top Flight Division i Athletic Program and is there ever a point where it should drop out of the arms race .

You like to give them a couple of bull pens. Spring training, the length of it is for the pitchers more so than the position players. They take longer to get ready, to get stretched out, get the arm into condition to be game re ready for the season.

A ton of guys on the field, 37 pitchers in camp because theyre going to lose a lot of those guys to the w abobc. Tim lincecum throwing off the mound for the First Time Since the World Series Game number three and pretty much for all of these guys the goal on day number one get some conditioning, be healthy, stay healthy.

Lets move to the oakland athletics. Led one of baseballs best pitching staffs last season as a rookie. But theres no guarantee that he will be sitting behind the plate on opening day against the mariners. Our Kate Longworth has more on how the as will handle their catching duties this season. My mentality is always going to be a fight especially at the catching position. You slack off a little bit, somebody is coming in and taking your spot. Its going to be more comfortable him this spring. We dont want him to be comfortable nor is he coming in saying i have a spot and im comfortable. His job is to compete and get better and not take anything for granted, and thats his focus. Reporter bob melvin has the luxury of not naming his starting catcher right away. In fact, given the split from the two leading candidates, he admits platooning norris may be the as best option. I think getting to know pitchers is where it all comes together and rotating, making sure youre not catching the same pitchers. I want to to catch all 162 but when it comes down to it its a good matchup for him and hes in there and ill just wait my turn. Reporter perhaps the most unique element of the 2013 catching tandem is that the foundation for their relationship was established by the 2012 opening day catcher. I cant say enough about what he did for me especially coming into an organization, not knowing a whole lot the of people. As long as i play this game ill go about my business to match what he did every day here. You see one catcher doing one thing preparation wise. They prepare together. Hell carry that bond into the season the same way. Reporter and he started forming a bond with norries last year when they were opponents. N norries had such an outgoing opportunity. Its nice to be teammates with the as pitchers. Last year they dominated him and his mariners teammates. In arizona im Kate Longworth nbc bay area news. The 49ers say goodbye to a key member.
