"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.",

"content": "\u003cp>http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2014/07/2014-07-04b-tcrmag.mp3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you grew up in or near San Jose, you’ve probably eaten a slice of burnt almond cake at a birthday or a graduation party. It’s not that people don’t eat this fluffy delight elsewhere, but in San Jose it’s a local specialty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whole thing started with a man named Tony Peters, back in 1936.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Believe it or not,\" says Tony's son, Chuck Peters, \"this used to be a horse pasture before my father built this building.\" Chuck, the current owner of Peters' Bakery, is 72 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Peters' Bakery is tucked into an aging row of retail storefronts in East San Jose. Between the oven old enough to qualify for an AARP card, the staff wearing old-timey aprons and the white boxes tied up with string, you might be forgiven for presuming burnt almond cake was invented here. But no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recipe started with a basic white cake from a Betty Crocker magazine. Fresh creamy custard is slathered inside and out. So far, so good, but it’s what goes on top of the icing that makes the cake utterly addictive. It's a salty, sweet mixture of crushed toasted almonds, plus ... something else. Chuck refuses to reveal what, exactly, despite my repeated attempts to get him to cave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cake is simple, fluffy and fresh. It's hard to eat just one bite, which may explain how the bakery sells a couple hundred a week, as it has for more than 70 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, they’re not too sweet,\" explains Mary Imamura, who lives nearby in Berryessa. I talked to her as she picked up a sheet cake for 50 people. \"They’re always delicious. Always.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a Peters' Facebook page and a Twitter handle, but the cake moves largely by word of mouth. That's how Imamura heard about it. \"My mother-in-law told me about this place probably about 40 years ago, and we’ve been coming since.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peters' makes other things — strawberry tarts, chocolate eclairs, hot cross buns — but the bakery's reputation is built on burnt almond cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, locals have cultivated a rumor that Peters' is locked in an ancient rivalry with another bakery 20 minutes to the west. Indeed, Dick’s Bakery appears to be cut from the same cloth: the aprons, the boxes tied up with string — and there, in the refrigerated cases — the burnt almond cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141314\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/BurntAlmondCake1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/BurntAlmondCake1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Careful research has determined the Dick's burnt almond cake is almost identical to that from Peters' -- but the Dick's almonds are chunkier and caramelized. (Rachael Myrow/KQED)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10141314\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Careful research has determined the Dick's burnt almond cake is almost identical to that from Peters' -- but the Dick's almonds are chunkier and caramelized. (Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Laurel Sota explains the two bakeries are related … literally. She married into it. \"My husband’s grandfather and great-uncle actually started Dick’s Bakery together in 1947.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Peters used to run a local chain of bakeries, and a lot of relatives worked for him, including his cousin, Dick. When Dick came back from World War II, he bought one of the bakeries. Numerous bakers have worked at both businesses. Both sides insist there is no bitter, burnt rivalry. Nobody stole anything. But Dick’s did tweak the recipe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our nuts are different,\" says Sota. \"We’ve changed the nuts to suit more of our taste. They’re larger, and we also caramelize the top.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just as delicious — and if I was hoping to pry the secret of the almond mixture from Sota, I was mistaken. \"Honestly, I don’t even know. My husband knows. You know, and we have certain bakers that know certain pieces, and they don’t really merge together. So we kind of keep it tightly wrapped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not unlike the way another Silicon Valley neighbor, Apple, is famous for keeping employees working on different parts of the same product siloed from each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, of course,\" Sota laughs. \"Just as important! Yes.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Between the oven old enough to qualify for an AARP card, the staff wearing old-timey aprons and the white boxes tied up with string, you might be forgiven for presuming burnt almond cake was invented here.

So far, so good, but it’s what goes on top of the icing that makes the cake utterly addictive. It's a salty, sweet mixture of crushed toasted almonds, plus ... something else. Chuck refuses to reveal what, exactly, despite my repeated attempts to get him to cave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cake is simple, fluffy and fresh. It's hard to eat just one bite, which may explain how the bakery sells a couple hundred a week, as it has for more than 70 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, they’re not too sweet,\" explains Mary Imamura, who lives nearby in Berryessa. I talked to her as she picked up a sheet cake for 50 people. \"They’re always delicious. Always.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a Peters' Facebook page and a Twitter handle, but the cake moves largely by word of mouth. That's how Imamura heard about it. \"My mother-in-law told me about this place probably about 40 years ago, and we’ve been coming since.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peters' makes other things — strawberry tarts, chocolate eclairs, hot cross buns — but the bakery's reputation is built on burnt almond cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, locals have cultivated a rumor that Peters' is locked in an ancient rivalry with another bakery 20 minutes to the west. Indeed, Dick’s Bakery appears to be cut from the same cloth: the aprons, the boxes tied up with string — and there, in the refrigerated cases — the burnt almond cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10141314\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/BurntAlmondCake1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/09/BurntAlmondCake1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Careful research has determined the Dick's burnt almond cake is almost identical to that from Peters' -- but the Dick's almonds are chunkier and caramelized.

(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Laurel Sota explains the two bakeries are related … literally. She married into it. \"My husband’s grandfather and great-uncle actually started Dick’s Bakery together in 1947.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Peters used to run a local chain of bakeries, and a lot of relatives worked for him, including his cousin, Dick. When Dick came back from World War II, he bought one of the bakeries. Numerous bakers have worked at both businesses. Both sides insist there is no bitter, burnt rivalry. Nobody stole anything. But Dick’s did tweak the recipe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our nuts are different,\" says Sota. \"We’ve changed the nuts to suit more of our taste. They’re larger, and we also caramelize the top.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s just as delicious — and if I was hoping to pry the secret of the almond mixture from Sota, I was mistaken. \"Honestly, I don’t even know. My husband knows. You know, and we have certain bakers that know certain pieces, and they don’t really merge together. So we kind of keep it tightly wrapped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not unlike the way another Silicon Valley neighbor, Apple, is famous for keeping employees working on different parts of the same product siloed from each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, of course,\" Sota laughs. \"Just as important! Yes.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But Reed’s battles with city unions over pension reform are still shaping the mayoral campaigns of the top five candidates ahead of the June 3 primary.\u003c/span>\u003cbr style=\"color: #000000\">\u003cbr style=\"color: #000000\">Public safety, for instance, has become the top issue for many voters. “Crime is always top of my mind,” said Susan Carruthers recently at a mayoral debate near her home in the middle-class Willow Glen neighborhood. The debate was sponsored by a coalition of neighborhood groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had a lot of burglaries in my neighborhood of Willow Glen.” Carruthers said, “So, yeah, I’d like to see the police walk the streets instead of staying in their cars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carruthers seems almost embarrassed by her city’s rising crime rate. San Joseans have always taken pride in having one of the nation’s safest large cities. Emergency response times have worsened as well. And the problem is partly a legacy of pension reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose’s police force has shrunk by more than a third, to about 900 officers, with many jumping to neighboring cities to escape the effects of Measure B, a voter-approved pension reform plan now tied up in the courts and spearheaded by Reed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All five mayoral candidates at this debate said reducing the crime rate would be their top priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First one would be public safety,” said City Councilwoman Madison Nguyen in her opening statement. “We right now have less than 1,000 sworn police officers patrolling our streets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen promised to bring back the burglary unit eliminated in 2012. And she said she’d crack down on police cadets if they quit after graduating from expensive city-run police academies. “They need to stay with us for at least five years. If they decide to leave, then they need to pay back that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That line drew a round of applause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose’s large Asian-American community is split in its support of Nguyen, a Vietnamese-American whose family came to the U.S. after the fall of Saigon and worked in the strawberry fields of the San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen faced down a recall attempt by Vietnamese-Americans after she resisted efforts to rename a commercial neighborhood “Little Saigon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has been a close ally of Reed, the father of Measure B and another statewide pension reform measure. But so has the other leading candidate on the council, Sam Liccardo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me the two most serious problems we’ll need to face are fiscal sustainability and public safety,” Liccardo said at the Willow Glen debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo is a South Bay native and former prosecutor who touts a crime reduction plan that involves networking video surveillance cameras at businesses around the city, and using data analytics to do smarter deployment of a reduced force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Very simple approaches, but basically a restoration of community policing is what’s going to enable us to be a safer city,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo boasts endorsements from major figures in San Jose’s business community and from two former mayors, and he’s the most out-front about continuing Reed’s program of fiscal reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We now have a $3 billion unfunded liability in this city.” Liccardo said, “and we cannot simply accept the idea that our children and grandchildren will pay for our inability to solve that problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo and Nguyen are the top two of four council members running for mayor — with Rose Herrera and Pierluigi Oliverio trailing behind in the most recent polls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Herrera has based her campaign on the argument that San Jose needs more jobs to increase its tax base. “Downtown san Jose is the most empty downtown city in the country during the daytime,” she said at the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To fill downtown, Herrera wants the city to speed up the permitting process, “That means changing how we do business down at City Hall,” she said, “taking on a revolutionary idea that Phoenix and other cities have done that I’m putting forward, and that is 24-hour permitting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oliverio’s big idea is to “heal the divisions in the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only way we can do that,”he said, “is to make union negotiations public. So, you can attend as a citizen. Right now it’s a closed-door process, and the only thing that comes out of that process is angst, brinkmanship and hurt feelings that leads to too much hostility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And if we’re being watched by the public,” Oliverio said, “everyone will be kind, everyone will be honest, and we’ll have a different day in this city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other top contender is Santa Clara Supervisor and former Councilman Dave Cortese. He’s the favorite of labor groups, and he told the crowd at the Willow Glen debate that the city wouldn’t be in such a mess if his council opponents had any good ideas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The policies are not working. We need to restore the trust in this city. We have broken morale in this city. It’s time for a change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cortese notes the city is losing not just police officers. Planning department staffing is down 30 percent, public works by 20 percent. And Cortese is the one candidate who says he would work with city unions to settle the legal battle over Measure B, rather than continue to fight for the measure in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tell me how you restore trust and morale when litigating with your own employees.” Cortese said, “It’s not going to happen. This war you’ve been hearing about needs to end. It’s time for reconstruction in this city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That version of “labor peace” has made Cortese, no surprise, the favorite of San Jose’s municipal unions. And their support could make all the difference in this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re phone-banking every night,\" said South Bay Labor Council Executive Director Ben Field in a recent interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Field said labor activists plan to call more than 100,000 likely voters urging them to vote for Cortese and pro-union candidates for the City Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cortese is really the only candidate who’s gonna turn the city in a better direction,” Field said. “There are five serious candidates, and four of them are all committed to a path that this current mayor has set, which has really been a disaster for the city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor wields a powerful tool in this campaign: a well-endowed independent expenditure fund to pay for phone banks and mailers on Cortese’s behalf. Contributors include labor groups, politicians like Rep. Anna Eshoo and a pair of local cardrooms that have just chipped in $25,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That independent spending has prompted a countereffort by Silicon Valley businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t want Sam Liccardo’s candidacy to fall through because he was outspent two or three to one,” says Carl Guardino, the well-connected CEO of the nonpartisan Silicon Valley Leadership Group, which lobbies on behalf of high-tech and civic interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guardino rarely makes endorsements. But he’s making a personal exception for Liccardo, in gratitude for the candidate's early support for campaigns to bring BART to San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He has been a champion on a lot of issues that are in his purview as a San Jose City Council member,” Guardino said, “but also on regional, state and federal issues standing shoulder to shoulder with the innovation economy and the tech community in Silicon Valley.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guardino and his wife are raising funds in $1,000, $10,000 and $25,000 chunks from tech executives like Steve Wyman of TIVO and high-powered lawyers like Joe Cotchett — with home addresses from San Francisco to Los Altos to San Jose. Guardino insists the fund won’t attack other candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is pro-Sam Liccardo,\" he said. \"It is not anti-anyone else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, many voters in San Jose may be wary of a divisive campaign between unions and big business. Those I talked to said they’re yearning for a mayor who will bridge the divisions within city government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The core of the problem is the council is very divided right now.” said Erik Fong, a tech worker who I talked to at the Willow Glen debate. “So I would look to the next mayor to be collaborative and bring people together to solve problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose voters are already mailing in their ballots for the June 3 primary. Unless one candidate wins a majority, the two top finishers will fight on until November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Bonus shots: \u003ca href=\"http://www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/nestcamSJ.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the live City Hall nest cam\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis’s video features helmet-cam sequences showing Glenn Stewart, a UC Santa Cruz biologist whose research specialty is predatory birds, as he rappelled down the side of City Hall to the falcons’ nest box last Friday. There, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/news/local/scientists-band-san-jose-peregrine-falcon-chicks/nfnjf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he examined the peregrine nestlings\u003c/a> to determine their sex — there are two males and two females — and to band them for future tracking. (Bonus trivia fact: The young are called eyasses, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eyas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eyas\u003c/a> being a nestling hawk or falcon. “Eyas” \u003ca href=\"http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=eyas0001&word=eyas&text=%5C%CB%88%C4%AB-%C9%99s%5C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is pronounced\u003c/a> “EYE-iss.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video also reveals that peregrine falcons’ wild behavior does not comport with human notions of tidiness and is unlikely to earn the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/history/welcome-gh-seal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval\u003c/a>. The nest box is strewn with bits of leftover prey, \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/npjOSLCR2hE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">late and expired pigeons\u003c/a> and whatnot, that the parents have brought to the kids. And there’s no getting around it, the nest box is just smeared with bird poop. Gross? Or nature? You decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason the peregrine falcons at San Jose City Hall (and everywhere else) are a big deal? Here’s how UC Santa Cruz describes the importance of the birds and the San Jose project:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… Biologists at UC Santa Cruz and Cornell University collaborated in the mid-1970s to restore a nearly extinct Peregrine Falcon population.

(Bonus shots: \u003ca href=\"http://www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/nestcamSJ.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the live City Hall nest cam\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis’s video features helmet-cam sequences showing Glenn Stewart, a UC Santa Cruz biologist whose research specialty is predatory birds, as he rappelled down the side of City Hall to the falcons’ nest box last Friday. There, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/news/local/scientists-band-san-jose-peregrine-falcon-chicks/nfnjf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he examined the peregrine nestlings\u003c/a> to determine their sex — there are two males and two females — and to band them for future tracking. (Bonus trivia fact: The young are called eyasses, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eyas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eyas\u003c/a> being a nestling hawk or falcon. “Eyas” \u003ca href=\"http://www.merriam-webster.com/audio.php?file=eyas0001&word=eyas&text=%5C%CB%88%C4%AB-%C9%99s%5C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is pronounced\u003c/a> “EYE-iss.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video also reveals that peregrine falcons’ wild behavior does not comport with human notions of tidiness and is unlikely to earn the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/history/welcome-gh-seal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval\u003c/a>. The nest box is strewn with bits of leftover prey, \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/npjOSLCR2hE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">late and expired pigeons\u003c/a> and whatnot, that the parents have brought to the kids. And there’s no getting around it, the nest box is just smeared with bird poop. Gross? Or nature? You decide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason the peregrine falcons at San Jose City Hall (and everywhere else) are a big deal? Here’s how UC Santa Cruz describes the importance of the birds and the San Jose project:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… Biologists at UC Santa Cruz and Cornell University collaborated in the mid-1970s to restore a nearly extinct Peregrine Falcon population. At the time, two pairs were known in California—none could be found nesting east of the Mississippi River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Widespread use of the persistent pesticide, DDT, contaminated the environment worldwide resulting in eggshell thinning that decimated the Peregrine population. DDT was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1972. For the next three decades, the U. C. Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group bred falcons in large aviaries, hatched thin-shelled eggs, climbed to the Cliffside nests of these birds, and restored the California population to an estimated 250 pairs—up from just 2 pairs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>We have already pronounced the video wonderful, and we stand by that opinion with one small reservation.

Samsung was ordered to pay about $900 million but is appealing and has been allowed to continue selling products using the technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> “[Samsung] is where the money is.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>— Professor Mark Lemley\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Dozens of attorneys gathered in U.S. District Court in San Jose for the latest legal skirmish in which the Cupertino company, Apple Inc., accuses Korean-based Samsung of infringing on five patents on newer devices, including Galaxy smartphones and tablets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first case between the two companies focused largely on the overall look of the phones — similar shapes, rounded corners, icon design — but this case revolves largely around software. Some of the features in question include: Autocomplete, tap-from-search and “Slide to Unlock” functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Lemley, a law professor at Stanford University who teaches patent law, believes instead of suing Samsung, Apple could have gone after Google; the maker of the Android operating system running on Samsung’s phones. So why not sue Google?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is where the money is,” Lemley said. “The Android OS is open source, Google doesn’t sell it to anybody. Samsung makes a lot of money selling phones, and it’s much easier to persuade a jury to force Samsung to give up some of its phone revenue than it is to go after a company that has given away open source software for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the suit, Apple demands that Samsung pay a $40 royalty for each Samsung device running software allegedly conceived by Apple. Lemley thinks that is a “very aggressive” number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to say that having ‘Slide-to-Unlock’ and Autocomplete and a couple of the features are really responsible for what could easily be 20 percent of the entire value of the phone,” Lemley added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Apple prevails in the case, the cost to Samsung could reach $2 billion. The figure is more than five times more than the amount sought in the previous trial and well above other precedents between smartphone companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lemley believes the litigation is in part because of Apple’s worry that competitors are eroding their market share — competitors that are all using Android OS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/142436048&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Some of the features in question include: Autocomplete, tap-from-search and “Slide to Unlock” functions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark Lemley, a law professor at Stanford University who teaches patent law, believes instead of suing Samsung, Apple could have gone after Google; the maker of the Android operating system running on Samsung’s phones. So why not sue Google?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is where the money is,” Lemley said. “The Android OS is open source, Google doesn’t sell it to anybody. Samsung makes a lot of money selling phones, and it’s much easier to persuade a jury to force Samsung to give up some of its phone revenue than it is to go after a company that has given away open source software for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the suit, Apple demands that Samsung pay a $40 royalty for each Samsung device running software allegedly conceived by Apple. Lemley thinks that is a “very aggressive” number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hard to say that having ‘Slide-to-Unlock’ and Autocomplete and a couple of the features are really responsible for what could easily be 20 percent of the entire value of the phone,” Lemley added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Apple prevails in the case, the cost to Samsung could reach $2 billion. The figure is more than five times more than the amount sought in the previous trial and well above other precedents between smartphone companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lemley believes the litigation is in part because of Apple’s worry that competitors are eroding their market share — competitors that are all using Android OS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/142436048&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Now, with BART promising to extend service to two new downtown San Jose stations and interest in pedestrian-friendly downtown areas at a high, it may finally be the right time to create a vibrant city center–at least according to a report released by \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR\u003c/a> this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdfs/SPUR_The.Future.of_.Downtown.San_.Jose_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The report\u003c/a>, which can be read below, looks at the unique challenges for downtown San Jose and lays out five main plans for turning around the area.

Downtown San Jose has about 39,000 jobs, while downtown Oakland is home to 83,000 jobs and downtown San Francisco has 317,000 jobs.

(Jason O. Watson/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After 32 years, the Oakland Athletics are playing their final spring training games at \u003ca href=\"http://phoenix.gov/parks/sports/phxmuni.html\" target=\"_blank\">Phoenix Municipal Stadium\u003c/a> this month. Next year the team will be taking over \u003ca href=\"http://hohokamstadium.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hohokam Stadium\u003c/a> in nearby Mesa, the former Cactus League home of the Chicago Cubs. The move is happening with a minimum of fuss. The mayor of Phoenix threw out the first pitch on opening day, and concession stands around the park sell souvenir cups and pins with the Phoenix Muni logo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be the only time in the 21st century that an A's stadium transition happens smoothly or amicably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, A's part-owner and managing partner Lew Wolff \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2014/03/07/as-owner-wolff-explores-temporary.html\" target=\"_blank\">was quoted by the Silicon Valley Business Journal\u003c/a> as saying that he'd asked his architects to explore the possibility of building a temporary ballpark for the A's if it became impossible for them to stay at the Oakland Coliseum when their current lease expires at the end of 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way it's a situation most of us have encountered at some point, in moving from one apartment or house to another: What do you do if the new place isn't ready on the day you have to move out of the old one?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most obvious solution is the \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080330&content_id=2467286&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy\" target=\"_blank\">Yankee Stadium model\u003c/a>: build the new ballpark next to the old one and move when it's ready. But that may not work for the A's, largely because they share their current home with the Oakland Raiders. This is where it gets to be like a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle\" target=\"_blank\">15-puzzle\u003c/a> — that's the term for those annoying plastic toys with the numbered squares that you need to shift around to get in the right order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the Raiders strike a deal with Oakland to build a new football stadium on the exact footprint of the current Coliseum (which is \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_24037189/raiders-stadium-site-preference-could-hasten-exit\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly their preference\u003c/a>), then the A's might have to find a temporary home while their new ballpark is built. The Raiders would have the same problem, since there's no way the construction could take place in a single NFL off-season. But they would have the option of temporarily playing at the 49ers' new Levi's Stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">A's owner Lew Wolff floats a new idea: a temporary stadium if the team can't renew its lease at the Oakland Coliseum.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the A's could play a season or two at AT&T Park. San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/giants/ci_25234653/giants-willing-share-at-t-park\" target=\"_blank\">recently said his team would be happy\u003c/a> to share its home for a season or two if the A's were building a ballpark in Oakland or elsewhere in the East Bay. If the A's win permission from Major League Baseball to move to San Jose, which so far has been denied them, the Giants might not be so hospitable, since Santa Clara County is currently designated as Giants territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where the option of a temporary stadium would come in. \u003ca href=\"http://newballpark.org/2013/11/15/creating-a-temporary-stadium-blueprint/\" target=\"_blank\">Rhamesis Muncada of newballpark.org described how \u003c/a>the new minor league soccer team Sacramento Republic FC is building such a facility at the state fairgrounds and suggested that could be a model for the A's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that seems like a big stretch for a major league team. Not only Major League Baseball but the players' union would want to get involved to be sure the games played and stats recorded in a temporary park would be comparable to a permanent one. And building a safe facility in a seismically active region isn't any easier simply because the structure is temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city of San Jose's legal battle with Major League Baseball shifts to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may remember that last year, San Jose got tired of waiting for baseball and its commissioner, Bud Selig, to make a decision on whether the A's would be allowed to move to San Jose, and filed a lawsuit. Last October, a federal court judge in San Jose \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/11/san-jose-gets-split-ruling-in-suit-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">dismissed the suit's challenge\u003c/a> to Major League Baseball's \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2008/12/3/678134/the-history-of-baseball-s\" target=\"_blank\">antitrust exemption\u003c/a> (a second part of the suit, alleging that baseball officials broke state law by interfering with the city's contract with the A's, was allowed to proceed).

(Jason O. Watson/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After 32 years, the Oakland Athletics are playing their final spring training games at \u003ca href=\"http://phoenix.gov/parks/sports/phxmuni.html\" target=\"_blank\">Phoenix Municipal Stadium\u003c/a> this month. Next year the team will be taking over \u003ca href=\"http://hohokamstadium.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hohokam Stadium\u003c/a> in nearby Mesa, the former Cactus League home of the Chicago Cubs. The move is happening with a minimum of fuss. The mayor of Phoenix threw out the first pitch on opening day, and concession stands around the park sell souvenir cups and pins with the Phoenix Muni logo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may be the only time in the 21st century that an A's stadium transition happens smoothly or amicably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, A's part-owner and managing partner Lew Wolff \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2014/03/07/as-owner-wolff-explores-temporary.html\" target=\"_blank\">was quoted by the Silicon Valley Business Journal\u003c/a> as saying that he'd asked his architects to explore the possibility of building a temporary ballpark for the A's if it became impossible for them to stay at the Oakland Coliseum when their current lease expires at the end of 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way it's a situation most of us have encountered at some point, in moving from one apartment or house to another: What do you do if the new place isn't ready on the day you have to move out of the old one?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most obvious solution is the \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080330&content_id=2467286&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy\" target=\"_blank\">Yankee Stadium model\u003c/a>: build the new ballpark next to the old one and move when it's ready. But that may not work for the A's, largely because they share their current home with the Oakland Raiders. This is where it gets to be like a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle\" target=\"_blank\">15-puzzle\u003c/a> — that's the term for those annoying plastic toys with the numbered squares that you need to shift around to get in the right order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Raiders would have the same problem, since there's no way the construction could take place in a single NFL off-season. But they would have the option of temporarily playing at the 49ers' new Levi's Stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">A's owner Lew Wolff floats a new idea: a temporary stadium if the team can't renew its lease at the Oakland Coliseum.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Similarly, the A's could play a season or two at AT&T Park. San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/giants/ci_25234653/giants-willing-share-at-t-park\" target=\"_blank\">recently said his team would be happy\u003c/a> to share its home for a season or two if the A's were building a ballpark in Oakland or elsewhere in the East Bay. If the A's win permission from Major League Baseball to move to San Jose, which so far has been denied them, the Giants might not be so hospitable, since Santa Clara County is currently designated as Giants territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where the option of a temporary stadium would come in. \u003ca href=\"http://newballpark.org/2013/11/15/creating-a-temporary-stadium-blueprint/\" target=\"_blank\">Rhamesis Muncada of newballpark.org described how \u003c/a>the new minor league soccer team Sacramento Republic FC is building such a facility at the state fairgrounds and suggested that could be a model for the A's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that seems like a big stretch for a major league team. Not only Major League Baseball but the players' union would want to get involved to be sure the games played and stats recorded in a temporary park would be comparable to a permanent one. And building a safe facility in a seismically active region isn't any easier simply because the structure is temporary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city of San Jose's legal battle with Major League Baseball shifts to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may remember that last year, San Jose got tired of waiting for baseball and its commissioner, Bud Selig, to make a decision on whether the A's would be allowed to move to San Jose, and filed a lawsuit. Last October, a federal court judge in San Jose \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/11/san-jose-gets-split-ruling-in-suit-over-as-move/\" target=\"_blank\">dismissed the suit's challenge\u003c/a> to Major League Baseball's \u003ca href=\"http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2008/12/3/678134/the-history-of-baseball-s\" target=\"_blank\">antitrust exemption\u003c/a> (a second part of the suit, alleging that baseball officials broke state law by interfering with the city's contract with the A's, was allowed to proceed). U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte ruled, in effect, that it's up to Congress, not the courts, to deal with the antitrust issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city appealed Whyte's antitrust ruling and last week filed an 83-page brief arguing its case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get more perspective on how the city is going to press its antitrust claim, I talked to lawyer-turned-sportswriter \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hangingsliders\" target=\"_blank\">Wendy Thurm\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thurm\u003c/strong>: San Jose appears to be taking the position that the scope of the antitrust exemption is a question of fact, for a jury to decide.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District wants to double the amount of recycled water it uses to 10 percent by 2025. So the water district and San Jose are finishing work on a $68 million \u003ca href=\"http://www.valleywater.org/SVAWPC.aspx\">Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center\u003c/a>. When it opens in May or June, it will be the largest water-recycling facility in Northern California, capable of purifying up to 8 million gallons of sewage water a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
