People of widely different incomes and professions commonly lived close enough that they mingled at stores, sports arenas and school. In an era in which women had fewer educational and professional opportunities, lawyers married secretaries and doctors married nurses. Now, lawyers and doctors marry each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent analysis of census data by sociologists Sean Reardon of Stanford and Kendra Bischoff of Cornell highlighted how middle-income neighborhoods have been fading away as more people live in areas that are either poor or affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, 65 percent of families lived in middle-income neighborhoods; four decades later, 42 percent did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the share of families living in affluent neighborhoods doubled, from 7 percent to 15 percent, as did families living in poor neighborhoods, from 8 percent to 18 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The trend toward stratification is not a positive one, say sociologists, in part because it impedes the upward mobility that has always been a part of the American Dream. Again from the Post story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the affluent become more isolated, the working class and the poor become confined “to communities where no one has a college education and no one has connections to the world,” said Stephen Klineberg, a Rice University sociologist. “The social capital that’s so necessary for upward mobility is more difficult to come by than it was in the old days when there was broad-based prosperity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, the Post notes, the impact on children, particularly those from affluent families who grow up knowing only their privileged world, could be substantial and long-lasting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We ought to worry about what this means for society when kids who are the most advantaged don’t grow up with much experience or understanding of how the other 95 percent live, particularly the bottom half,” said Reardon, who studies the consequences of income inequality. “Will they be less empathetic? Do they understand what it’s like to grow up poor?”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But let us move on to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcoexist.com/1680538/what-exactly-is-a-smart-city\">smartness\u003c/a>.

The Super Zips are indicated in yellow.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Post story that accompanies its Super Zip map notes that the clustering of the educated wealthy has been increasing, and is resulting in deeper stratification of socioeconomic classes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Although the wealthiest Americans have always lived in their own islands of privilege, sociologists and demographers say the degree to which today’s professional class resides in a world apart is a departure from earlier generations. People of widely different incomes and professions commonly lived close enough that they mingled at stores, sports arenas and school. In an era in which women had fewer educational and professional opportunities, lawyers married secretaries and doctors married nurses. Now, lawyers and doctors marry each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent analysis of census data by sociologists Sean Reardon of Stanford and Kendra Bischoff of Cornell highlighted how middle-income neighborhoods have been fading away as more people live in areas that are either poor or affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, 65 percent of families lived in middle-income neighborhoods; four decades later, 42 percent did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the share of families living in affluent neighborhoods doubled, from 7 percent to 15 percent, as did families living in poor neighborhoods, from 8 percent to 18 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The trend toward stratification is not a positive one, say sociologists, in part because it impedes the upward mobility that has always been a part of the American Dream. Again from the Post story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the affluent become more isolated, the working class and the poor become confined “to communities where no one has a college education and no one has connections to the world,” said Stephen Klineberg, a Rice University sociologist. “The social capital that’s so necessary for upward mobility is more difficult to come by than it was in the old days when there was broad-based prosperity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, the Post notes, the impact on children, particularly those from affluent families who grow up knowing only their privileged world, could be substantial and long-lasting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We ought to worry about what this means for society when kids who are the most advantaged don’t grow up with much experience or understanding of how the other 95 percent live, particularly the bottom half,” said Reardon, who studies the consequences of income inequality. “Will they be less empathetic?

Joe Cotchett, the lawyer representing San Jose, says he expects a decision in 20 to 30 days. Reporters covering the hearing conveyed the impression that Judge Ronald Whyte seemed to buy Major League Baseball's argument that its antitrust exemption bars the lawsuit and that San Jose doesn't have any standing to bring an antitrust suit in any case because its alleged injuries — economic damage and interference with its contract with the A's — are speculative. Cotchett said that no matter how Whyte rules, the case will wind up in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/02/bill-king-duane-kuiper-ford-frick-award\" target=\"_blank\">the late Bill King\u003c/a>, the voice of the Oakland Athletics from 1981 through 2005, was announced as a finalist for the fourth year in a row for the \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/\" target=\"_blank\">National Baseball Hall of Fame\u003c/a>'s Ford C. Frick Award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte is holding a hearing this morning on the city of San Jose's suit accusing Major League Baseball of violating federal antitrust law by blocking the owners of the Oakland A's from moving the team to the South Bay. The hearing features two Bay Area legal heavyweights — Joe Cotchett for San Jose and John Keker for the major leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose sued after waiting for more than four years for baseball — meaning Commissioner Bud Selig and the 30 team owners — to take action on the A's relocation request. The move has been blocked by the San Francisco Giants, who hold territorial rights to the South Bay and argue the area is crucial to their franchise's success. Major League Baseball has responded that the city has no standing to file the suit and that it's protected by more than 90 years of court decisions and lawmaking that uphold its exemption from antitrust laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Best live coverage of this morning's hearing: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hangingsliders\" target=\"_blank\">Live tweeting\u003c/a> from freelance baseball writer Wendy Thurm.

Joe Cotchett, the lawyer representing San Jose, says he expects a decision in 20 to 30 days. Reporters covering the hearing conveyed the impression that Judge Ronald Whyte seemed to buy Major League Baseball's argument that its antitrust exemption bars the lawsuit and that San Jose doesn't have any standing to bring an antitrust suit in any case because its alleged injuries — economic damage and interference with its contract with the A's — are speculative. Cotchett said that no matter how Whyte rules, the case will wind up in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/02/bill-king-duane-kuiper-ford-frick-award\" target=\"_blank\">the late Bill King\u003c/a>, the voice of the Oakland Athletics from 1981 through 2005, was announced as a finalist for the fourth year in a row for the \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/\" target=\"_blank\">National Baseball Hall of Fame\u003c/a>'s Ford C. Frick Award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte is holding a hearing this morning on the city of San Jose's suit accusing Major League Baseball of violating federal antitrust law by blocking the owners of the Oakland A's from moving the team to the South Bay. The hearing features two Bay Area legal heavyweights — Joe Cotchett for San Jose and John Keker for the major leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose sued after waiting for more than four years for baseball — meaning Commissioner Bud Selig and the 30 team owners — to take action on the A's relocation request. The move has been blocked by the San Francisco Giants, who hold territorial rights to the South Bay and argue the area is crucial to their franchise's success. Major League Baseball has responded that the city has no standing to file the suit and that it's protected by more than 90 years of court decisions and lawmaking that uphold its exemption from antitrust laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Best live coverage of this morning's hearing: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hangingsliders\" target=\"_blank\">Live tweeting\u003c/a> from freelance baseball writer Wendy Thurm.

Instead, Martz paid $150 each for him and his sons to take the class and earn college credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking the courses for credit meant doing extra assignments, getting access to instructors and receiving actual grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Universities hope this model will get more kids through bottleneck classes — like entry-level math and science — and on to graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that students didn’t do well in the first semester’s classes. In remedial math, nearly 80 percent of students failed. In elementary statistics, roughly half failed.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Models, New Challenges \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We clearly should not be trying to take this Orville and Wilbur machine across the Atlantic Ocean,” says Peter Hadreas, professor and philosophy department chair at San Jose State. “It’s treated like the Concorde and it’s ready to go, but in fact it’s a way of teaching that’s in a very formative stage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas is not just concerned about his school’s Udacity pilot. Variations on MOOC experiments are showing up in lots of different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, San Jose State administrators asked Hadreas’ department to use \u003ca href=\"https://www.edx.org/course/harvard-university/er22x/justice/571\">an EdX MOOC\u003c/a> to “flip” an ethics class, or have students watch the online class at home and use class time to work on assignments with local professors. The university had \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sjsu.edu/today/2013/sjsuedx-expansion/\">successfully used the method\u003c/a> the prior semester to boost completion rates in a circuitry course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After watching the ethics MOOC, taught by Harvard professor Michael Sandel, the San Jose philosophy faculty \u003ca href=\"http://chronicle.com/article/The-Document-an-Open-Letter/138937/\">wrote an open letter in protest\u003c/a>. Hadreas says it would be insulting to force diverse state university students to watch the Ivy League professor lecture to his affluent class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would incorporate into his talks how privileged they were,” Hadreas says. “They were for the most part more white than our student body. So we got on the one hand this strange upstairs-downstairs situation, where the lower-class people could look at how the upper-class people were educated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the political science department also took issue with the format and refused to teach the class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another problem that’s causing concern is something called the “digital divide.” Some high school students in the first-semester Udacity pilot \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/education/ci_23366281/online-college-course-experiment-reveals-hidden-costs?source=pkg\">didn’t have computers\u003c/a>, as the Oakland Tribune reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public-Private Partnership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The greatest worry that instructors have, though, is privatization, Hadreas says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some MOOC providers are for-profit companies. Right now, they live off venture capital and give their content to universities for cheap or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professors say that can’t last. So they question who will pay for the months of work it takes to turn instructors’ lectures into scripts, shoot dozens of videos, and edit together the polished package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Snycerski, a full-time lecturer at San Jose State who co-developed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.udacity.com/course/ps001\">Intro to Psychology class\u003c/a> for the Udacity pilot, says it took more effort to create than a traditional in-person class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been an enormous amount of time,” she says. “I had no idea when I signed up how much time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s her outline of the process:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Divide up the course into sections\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Choose which instructor would write the lesson plans for each section\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Type out complete lectures for each lesson plan (Snycerski says some lectures were 17-20 single-spaced, typed pages)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Vet/edit lectures\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Submit lectures to Udacity producer to turn into video scripts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Decide what types of shots to use for each lecture (headshot, reenactment, writing on tablet, etc)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Make multiple trips to Udacity studio in Mountain View to record lesson segments (Snycerski says at times she was at Udacity for eight hours a day, four days a week)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Review videos\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fix errors\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Snycerski says she’s proud of her work, but the hours, criticism and politics have been tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would continue teaching my course,” Snycerski says. “I wouldn’t make a new course. I think right now, I’m just done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Evaluation Time\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone at San Jose State is done for the time being. After seeing the project’s initial results, university President Mo Qayoumi agreed to put it on pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Qayoumi is adamant that the university is \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sjsu.edu/today/2013/update-sjsuudacity/\">not giving up on the experiment\u003c/a>. He says the hiatus will allow for a deeper analysis of the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we look at new approaches, sometimes we need to go back and adjust that and learn from it,” Qayoumi says. “Universities should be a place for exploration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Marcum Martz wants universities to be more innovative, but says his experience as a guinea pig in the MOOC pilot seemed caught up in high-tech hype.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This reminds me a lot of Windows Vista and Apple Maps,” Martz says. “Throw the spaghetti against the wall and see if it sticks. That’s fine if you’re putting out a free application. But when it’s college course curricula, they need to get it right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Science Foundation, which \u003ca href=\"http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1321336&HistoricalAwards=false\">gave money to the project\u003c/a>, expects to have a more detailed report on what went wrong later this month.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Instead, Martz paid $150 each for him and his sons to take the class and earn college credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking the courses for credit meant doing extra assignments, getting access to instructors and receiving actual grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Universities hope this model will get more kids through bottleneck classes — like entry-level math and science — and on to graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is that students didn’t do well in the first semester’s classes. In remedial math, nearly 80 percent of students failed. In elementary statistics, roughly half failed.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Models, New Challenges \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We clearly should not be trying to take this Orville and Wilbur machine across the Atlantic Ocean,” says Peter Hadreas, professor and philosophy department chair at San Jose State. “It’s treated like the Concorde and it’s ready to go, but in fact it’s a way of teaching that’s in a very formative stage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hadreas is not just concerned about his school’s Udacity pilot. Variations on MOOC experiments are showing up in lots of different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last spring, San Jose State administrators asked Hadreas’ department to use \u003ca href=\"https://www.edx.org/course/harvard-university/er22x/justice/571\">an EdX MOOC\u003c/a> to “flip” an ethics class, or have students watch the online class at home and use class time to work on assignments with local professors. The university had \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sjsu.edu/today/2013/sjsuedx-expansion/\">successfully used the method\u003c/a> the prior semester to boost completion rates in a circuitry course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After watching the ethics MOOC, taught by Harvard professor Michael Sandel, the San Jose philosophy faculty \u003ca href=\"http://chronicle.com/article/The-Document-an-Open-Letter/138937/\">wrote an open letter in protest\u003c/a>. Hadreas says it would be insulting to force diverse state university students to watch the Ivy League professor lecture to his affluent class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He would incorporate into his talks how privileged they were,” Hadreas says. “They were for the most part more white than our student body. So we got on the one hand this strange upstairs-downstairs situation, where the lower-class people could look at how the upper-class people were educated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the political science department also took issue with the format and refused to teach the class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another problem that’s causing concern is something called the “digital divide.” Some high school students in the first-semester Udacity pilot \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/education/ci_23366281/online-college-course-experiment-reveals-hidden-costs?source=pkg\">didn’t have computers\u003c/a>, as the Oakland Tribune reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public-Private Partnership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The greatest worry that instructors have, though, is privatization, Hadreas says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some MOOC providers are for-profit companies. Right now, they live off venture capital and give their content to universities for cheap or free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professors say that can’t last. So they question who will pay for the months of work it takes to turn instructors’ lectures into scripts, shoot dozens of videos, and edit together the polished package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susan Snycerski, a full-time lecturer at San Jose State who co-developed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.udacity.com/course/ps001\">Intro to Psychology class\u003c/a> for the Udacity pilot, says it took more effort to create than a traditional in-person class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been an enormous amount of time,” she says. “I had no idea when I signed up how much time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s her outline of the process:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Divide up the course into sections\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Choose which instructor would write the lesson plans for each section\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Type out complete lectures for each lesson plan (Snycerski says some lectures were 17-20 single-spaced, typed pages)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Vet/edit lectures\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Submit lectures to Udacity producer to turn into video scripts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Decide what types of shots to use for each lecture (headshot, reenactment, writing on tablet, etc)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Make multiple trips to Udacity studio in Mountain View to record lesson segments (Snycerski says at times she was at Udacity for eight hours a day, four days a week)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Review videos\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fix errors\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Snycerski says she’s proud of her work, but the hours, criticism and politics have been tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would continue teaching my course,” Snycerski says. “I wouldn’t make a new course. I think right now, I’m just done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Evaluation Time\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone at San Jose State is done for the time being. After seeing the project’s initial results, university President Mo Qayoumi agreed to put it on pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Qayoumi is adamant that the university is \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sjsu.edu/today/2013/update-sjsuudacity/\">not giving up on the experiment\u003c/a>. He says the hiatus will allow for a deeper analysis of the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we look at new approaches, sometimes we need to go back and adjust that and learn from it,” Qayoumi says. “Universities should be a place for exploration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Marcum Martz wants universities to be more innovative, but says his experience as a guinea pig in the MOOC pilot seemed caught up in high-tech hype.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This reminds me a lot of Windows Vista and Apple Maps,” Martz says. “Throw the spaghetti against the wall and see if it sticks. That’s fine if you’re putting out a free application. But when it’s college course curricula, they need to get it right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Wednesday, MLB’s legal team asked a federal judge to throw out the lawsuit that the city filed in June over its attempt to get the Oakland Athletics to move to the South Bay. The Mercury News has \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_23816459/oakland-san-jose-mlb-strikes-back-against-citys\">a story and the legal documentation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose decided to take baseball to court after waiting more than four years for a decision from the major leagues — team owners and senior MLB officials—on the possible relocation of the A's to the South Bay. 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. If San Jose could sue baseball for not letting the A's move there, the major league filing argues, so could every other city in the country that wants a baseball team. (And guess who doesn't want teams to move? Every city that has one. Just ask Oakland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Ronald M. Whyte is expected to hold a hearing on the case in early October. The A’s option to buy the land from San Jose expires in early November, although both parties can choose to renew it for a year. In the meantime, the team is negotiating with the managers of the Oakland Coliseum for a lease extension, reportedly through 2018.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The team is at the center of a court battle to force Major League Baseball to allow the team to move to San Jose. (Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s an acronym popular among baseball fans on social media, TOOTBLAN. It stands for Thrown Out On The Basepaths Like A Nincompoop -- what happens when a runner misjudges the amount of time he has to scramble onto a base before the opposing team sees what he’s doing and tags him out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Major League Baseball has its way, the city of San Jose will be TOOTCLAN, Thrown Out Of The Courtroom Like …well, you get the idea. On Wednesday, MLB’s legal team asked a federal judge to throw out the lawsuit that the city filed in June over its attempt to get the Oakland Athletics to move to the South Bay. The Mercury News has \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_23816459/oakland-san-jose-mlb-strikes-back-against-citys\">a story and the legal documentation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose decided to take baseball to court after waiting more than four years for a decision from the major leagues — team owners and senior MLB officials—on the possible relocation of the A's to the South Bay. 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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If San Jose could sue baseball for not letting the A's move there, the major league filing argues, so could every other city in the country that wants a baseball team. (And guess who doesn't want teams to move? Every city that has one. Just ask Oakland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Ronald M. Whyte is expected to hold a hearing on the case in early October. The A’s option to buy the land from San Jose expires in early November, although both parties can choose to renew it for a year. In the meantime, the team is negotiating with the managers of the Oakland Coliseum for a lease extension, reportedly through 2018.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
