While that view is contrary to that of A's ownership, the move is on hold anyway, pending a resolution of a territorial rights dispute between the A's, the San Francisco Giants, and Major League Baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are edited transcripts from interviews I conducted with Santa County Assessor Larry Stone and Baseball San Jose President Michael Mulcahy, stadium supporters; as well as an interview with Marc Morris, who heads up a citizens groups opposed to building a ballpark for the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's probably no one who's been advocating for a Major League team in San Jose longer than Santa Clara County Assessor \u003ca href=\"http://www.sccgov.org/sites/asr/Welcome%20%28Media%20Release,%20Assessor%20Bio,%20Organizational%20chart,%20more%29/Pages/Welcome.aspxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Stone\">Larry Stone\u003c/a>...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Dianne Feinstein appointed me to the \"Save the Giants\" committee when she was the Mayor of San Francisco in the early 1980's. Then as the Mayor of Sunnyvale, I chaired in 1988 an effort to bring the Giants to a new ballpark in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That went on the ballot in 1990 and it was a five-city consortium, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milpitas, and Mountain View. And it came very close to passing; it was a 1% utility users' tax increase that the people of San Jose actually approved, but it didn't carry enough in the other four cities to pass. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Susan Hammer became mayor of San Jose, and she was so enthused by it passing in San Jose that she decided to try it one more time, just in San Jose, not the five-city consortium. But the economic situation had declined significantly, and it was a 2% user tax instead of 1%, and so that measure failed at the ballot by about a 10% margin. So I've been unsuccessful in bringing Major League Baseball to this county, and I've been trying to do it for 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>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.\u003cbr>\n-Santa Clara County Assessor Larry Stone\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I began to work with Steve Schott, the previous A's owner, in the late 90's, and in fact I didn't renew my Giants season tickets when they moved to Pac Bell Park because I was convinced that the A's would be moving to San Jose soon, and I didn't want to pay the seat license fee for the Giants in a couple of years. 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.

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.

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.

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.

It will proceed with its lawsuit against Apple and other publishers, including Holtzbrinck Publishers, doing business as Macmillan, and The Penguin Publishing Co. Ltd., doing business as Penguin Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit said the effort was a response to the success Amazon.com had in selling e-books for just under $10. The alleged conspiracy came as Apple was preparing to launch the iPad and called for Apple to be guaranteed a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold, the lawsuit said. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To effectuate their conspiracy, the publisher defendants teamed up with defendant Apple, which shared the same goal of restraining retail price competition in the sale of e-books,\" the lawsuit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple did not immediately respond to a comment request.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The alleged conspiracy came as Apple was preparing to launch the iPad and called for Apple to be guaranteed a 30 percent commission on each e-book it sold, the lawsuit said. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Macmillan Chief Executive Officer John Sargent said in a letter to authors, illustrators and agents that the company has not settled because it is \"hard to settle a lawsuit when you know you have done no wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said: \"Macmillan did not act illegally. Macmillan did not collude.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sargent said the filing of the lawsuit came after discussions with the Department of Justice that lasted months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But the terms the DOJ demanded were too onerous. After careful consideration, we came to the conclusion that the terms could have allowed Amazon to recover the monopoly position it had been building before our switch to the agency model,\" he said. \"We also felt the settlement the DOJ wanted to impose would have a very negative and long term impact on those who sell books for a living, from the largest chain stores to the smallest independents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of the e-book pricing debate is the industry's ongoing concerns about Amazon. Publishers see the \"agency model\" as their best, short-term hope against preventing the online retailer from dominating the e-book market and driving down the price of books to a level unsustainable for publishers and booksellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since launching the Kindle in 2007, Amazon has made a point of offering best-sellers for $9.99. The discount is so deep from list prices of $20 and more that it's widely believed Amazon is selling the e-books at a loss as a way of attracting more customers and forcing competitors to lower their prices.
