By Louis LaVenture EDITOR-IN-CHIEF On Tuesday, the lawyer for Jasmine Abuslin, a 19-year-old former prostitute, known by the alias Celeste Guap, filed a $30 million lawsuit against the Richmond Police Department and a $6 million lawsuit against the Livermore Police Department. She had previously filed a $66 million lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department as well.

on their permanent files.

According to Abuslin, she had sexual encounters with more than 20 police officers, several of which occurred while she was a minor. In return she received information about upcoming and potential prostitution sting circumstances and locations in several instances. Guap said that when she was 17 years old, she became romantically involved with an Oakland cop who saved her from her abusive pimp. Guap claims that officer introduced her to other cops who eventually became customers for her prostitution services.

California state law does not allow the city to reveal the names of the officers involved and two of them had previously

RETRO GAMING VENUE OPENS IN HAYWARD

On Sept. 23, the Richmond Police Department announced several disciplinary recommendations stemming from a sex scandal centered around Abuslin. The RPD Office of Professional Accountability led the investigation that included more than 10,000 text messages and phone records and more than 5,000 social media pages. The investigation also included 13 hours of recorded, voluntary testimony from the teenage witness over the course of five interview sessions, all according to the report.

The investigation led to the recommendation of disciplinary action for nine officers: One to be terminated from employment, one to be demoted, two to be suspended--one for 80 hours and the other for 120 hours--and five officers to receive letters of reprimand that will be

Job fair scheduled for Hayward campus With Halloween just around the corner, October is traditionally devoted to costume shopping, but on Oct. 27, hundreds of Cal State East Bay students will collectively dress up with a different goal in mind: to land a job.

Fifty seven businesses will be taking resumes and speaking to students about job positions at East Bay’s annual fall career and internship fair this year. The businesses will cater to undergraduate and graduate students of all majors, said Toni Brown, Event Coordinator in the Academic Advising & Career Education department.

The list of vendors won’t include technology giants like Google or Facebook, which hold their own job fairs, but instead will feature small local start-ups and government agencies like the Employment Development Division, the California Department of Insurance, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to Brown.

AACE coordinates the job fair during the fall, winter and spring quarters every year. The purpose is to connect students face-to-face with employers in the Bay Area.

“We want to get our students out there in front of companies all over the Bay Area,” said Brown.“You have to do a lot of networking.”

Brown said the job fair has grown over the past four years that she’s worked at East Bay. At her first winter career fair, only 27 employers attended. Last year, it reached maximum capacity at 57.

Many companies are willing to speak with students of all majors, regardless of whether they correspond to a specific job or position, said Brown, who cited Target and Ross as examples. At first glance, one expects the stores to be hiring primarily for retail positions, however not many are aware that Target has an information technology department and

Volleyball squad claws out win over San Marcos Cougars

By Louis LaVenture EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

It’s been a tough couple of years for the Cal State East Bay women’s volleyball team.

The squad hasn’t posted a winning record since 2011 when they finished 16-11 overall and 11-11 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association Conference games, but still missed out on the postseason.

Since 2011, the Pioneers are a combined 39-75 overall and 25-61 in CCAA games. Unfortunately, things are off to a similar slow start for CSUEB this year as the team finds themself 6-8 overall and 2-4 in conference play with just 12 regular season games left before the CCAA tournament begins on Nov. 12 in San Bernardino.

Despite a 3-0 loss at home on Friday to UC San Diego (8-5 overall, 5-0 conference), the momentum seemed to shift in East Bay’s favor on Saturday when they dominated Cal State San Marcos (9-5, 2-3) and cruised to an easy 3-0 victory.

It was a slew of sophomores who led the way in the victory over San Marcos, in outside hitters Julie Navarro and Kiki Leuteneker as well as middle blocker Deja Thompson, who combined for 37 kills and 97 of the team's 129 total attacks in the match.

The trio also leads the team in at-

East Bay dominated the first two sets against the Cougars and finished them

25-14 and 25-17 respectively.

However, San Marcos bounced back in the third and final set that went back and forth between the two squads.

The Pioneers eventually took control thanks to a few late kills Navarro and Leuteneker. Leuteneker said that they watch films on every team before match-

es to identify the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

“We do not necessarily have game plans but have ideas on which players to keep the ball away from and where to place the ball,” Leuteneker said.

“We did not have plans specifically for San Marcos. Just wanted to win and pulled it off.”

With the score tied at 24 Navarro scored on a huge kill from sophomore setter Katie Ireland to put East Bay up 25-24.

On the next play, it was Ireland again with the setup, but this time it was to Leuteneker who smashed the game-winner past the defense for a 26-24 third set victory. Leuteneker credited a “strong core and fast high arm swing” as the main factors in behind her powerful kills.

The Pioneers will have to take their act on the road this weekend as they travel to Southern California to take on two CCAA conference opponents.

At 7 p.m. on Friday East Bay will play the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros (59, 2-4) in Carson at The Torodome.

Then on Saturday the Pioneers will go to the Eagles Nest to take on Cal State Los Angeles (9-5, 5-1), also at 7 p.m.

The next home game for East Bay is on Oct. 14 at Pioneer Gymnasium on the Hayward campus. The Pioneers will host CCAA conference foe Stanislaus State (6-8, 3-2) at 7 p.m.

What the boss says goes Wells Fargo in hot water for illegal practices

By Sean McCarthy STAFF WRITER Wells Fargo has been in hot water for the past year: two former Wells Fargo employees sued the company in May 2015 in a $2.6 billion class-action lawsuit, and the bank settled with those employees in September for just $190 million.

The bank fired 5,300 employees who they say acted independently when they used fake email accounts to open bank accounts for people that they knew.

Those accounts went unmanaged and caused people to lose money due to account fees. Part of the settlement refunded all fees by the fake accounts and incurred by Wells Fargo account-holders.

I know a few things about these types of accounts. When I was a banker at Wells Fargo, bankers in my retail branch in San Francisco were expected to open eight accounts every single day in order to maintain the minimum accepted level. I had previously worked as a teller for a year before securing the position as a banker for four months.

Wells Fargo pressured employees to reach extremely aggressive sales goals in order to keep their jobs. These accounts included savings, home mortgage, credit card, personal loan and lines of credit.

Anything lower than eight accounts a day and the employee would be subject to punishment in the form of demotion or termination.

Well-established bankers at my branch would sit down with up to 15 people a day if they had appointments.

At that rate, those bankers would need to open up an account for every other person they saw during the day, which is unrealistic. For unestablished bankers such as myself, we were forced to cheat in order to keep our job with decent pay.

We did so because there was a small bonus at the end of every quarter if we exceeded our sales goals.

When employees failed to reach those goals, they could have been demoted,

forced to resign, like myself, or fired.

These goals required bankers to open more accounts for customers per day than many would even sit down with that day.

The issue is that the instructions came from the top down in the form of a sales goal created by Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf. During Senate hearings on September 29, Senator Elizabeth Warren tore into Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf about his shady business practices. She said that he should be criminally tried and have all of his money that he made over his five-year tenure taken away.

He will not be tried, but he received a $47 million fine through his unvested stocks, and a forfeiture of his $2.8 million salary for the year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government agency that protects consumers against deceptive financial practices.

Our boss at Wells Fargo encouraged us to try different approaches to open accounts. We were asked to telemarket, walk around San Francisco State and ask our friends and family. Telemarketing rarely worked and many students opened accounts that were free to them because they went to San Francisco State.

However, they weren’t told that once they graduated, the account conditions would change and they would begin to incur a $12 monthly fee for an account that had been free to them for years.

My friends and family allowed me to open accounts for them when I could not hit my sales goals. They saved my job for months, but they could not continue to save me. After opening the first “pack” — a checking, saving and debit card — for my friends, I noticed that they would become hesitant about opening a second and resistant to opening a third. The process where we made multiple unnecessary accounts for people was called “gaming,” and we were encouraged to do it to keep our jobs.

My branch manager told us not to game the system right after she would ask me to call my mom and dad again to open another pack. She had her own unrealistic sales goals to reach that her bosses told her to hit in order to continue to rise through the corporate ranks.

Bankers often opened multiple ac-

counts for each other and for the tellers.

When I was a teller, I had 19 accounts open at one time. When clients had issues with their accounts, we were told to open a new one for them instead.

These issues could be anything from monthly service fees for the account to overdraft penalties. Our bosses would get rid of an overdraft fee if we opened a new account for the person, which people often did. However, sometimes people incurred fees because they had the wrong account set up for them. Those accounts could be dated accounts that were no longer offered to employees, or the customer was sold an account that had better benefits but they could not reach the minimum requirements to make it free.

I had customers who were retired and had social security as their sole income come in to the bank for account fees.

Management would say “why don’t you open a new account for them so they won’t get a fee,” but failed to consider these people would need to reset their social security process to the new account. That process could take weeks and the client could miss out on their social security, their lifeline. It was unethical, and this was wrong.

I could not continue to do it after just a few months. I decided to stop “gaming” and just open up accounts for people who really needed them. I became dejected and lost focus on doing the tedious parts of my job like filing the necessary paperwork when opening an account. My bosses noticed my diminished sales goals and my lack of care in the paperwork so they gave me the option to resign with severance pay. I took it.

I became happier immediately after. I no longer had to open accounts for people who no longer needed it. I no longer had to choose between doing what was right and risk getting in trouble, or doing what was wrong and thrive.

Wells Fargo knew this practice was illegal, but it encouraged its employees to take whatever actions necessary to open accounts anyway.

The former employees who sued Wells Fargo were a part of the bigger net of employees who were fired as a scapegoat. Those two employees then let the world know.

Benicia artist brings Louvre to the Bay

By Kali Persall MANAGING EDITOR When I stepped into Mernie Buchanan’s booth at the 14th annual Pleasant Hill Art, Jazz and Wine Festival last weekend it felt like I had entered a French museum.

Gold lettering identified the makeshift gallery “The Faux Louvre,” and elaborate paintings and ornate frames, painted to match the picture within, hung on every surface.

The creations ranged from Monet interpretations to portraits of famous queens, refaced with the head of Buchanan’s three-year old rescue chihuahua, Faun; an original design.

“Come on in, you can save yourself a trip to Paris,” she told passerby.

The festival took place over two days last weekend and featured music, entertainment and numerous vendors and craft booths.

The 29-year Benicia resident also teaches art classes at a crafts store in Pleasant Hill and has attended the Pleasant Hill festival annually since 2004.

Buchanan paints everything from slices of cake to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Buchanan’s current series of paintings are inspired by famous works of art hung in the Louvre museum in Paris and museums across the United States, which she visits in person when she has the funds.

Her unique creations are painted with French watercolors, a type of paint modeled after those used by French Impressionists. “The Unicorn in Captivity” a South Lowlands Tapestry dating back to 1500 from New York and Van Gogh’s 1890 piece, “‘Houses with Figure” hung in the makeshift gallery.

Buchanan said she doesn’t discrim-

Buchanan said that seeing the art in person helps her to connect with the emotion behind the paint.

Drake and Future Summer Sixteen Tour stops in San Jose

By Angelica G. Allen STAFF WRITER While Drake’s latest album Views climbed to the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart’s #1 just a few weeks after its April 29 release, the Toronto native and rapper Future rocked out their Summer Sixteen Tour dressed in San Jose Sharks jerseys at the team’s SAP Center arena on the last weekend of September. The jerseys were an homage to the city of San Jose, where the concert was held.

Drake and Future put on for a sold out show both nights and the roaring atmosphere proved why these two artists are considered some of the hottest rappers in the game right now.

Everything from the production of the music to the visual effects encouraged the crowd to stand up, dance and rapalong throughout the whole concert.

LED-like balloons converged into the shape of a six, which has become the unofficial nickname for Drake’s hometown, Toronto, referenced in the title of his album, Views From the Six. Two of the most prominent area codes in Toronto are 416 and 647.

Drake recently addressed his disapproval of police brutality in a letter to his fans posted on his Instagram

account after the murder of Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man who was shot and killed by police in Baton Rouge, LA on July 5.

The morning after he viewed the video of Sterling’s death, Drake stated that although America is like his second home, he cannot deny the negative relationship between black and brown communities and law enforcement in the United States.

The success of the tour and the added show dates are a clear indication of more to come from both artists.

The performance came on the heels of criticism directed toward San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the National Anthem at games as a public stance against discriminative injustices. However, Drake and Future kept the focus of the concert on entertainment alone.

Fans screamed out Drake’s lyrics, “I go on and on, can’t understand how I last so long,” which paid homage to Oakland-based rapper Too Short and the lyrics to Drake’s song Motto, “Rest in Peace Mac Dre, I’ma do it for the Bay.” A sense of pride no doubt filled the stadium for many local fans, as the superstar spouted lyrics that referenced our hometowns.

the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, but said she has been painting since she was six-years-old, when she insisted her mother enroll her in adult art classes.

“I was pretty precocious and I knew this was what I wanted to do,” said Buchanan.

The series of paintings were inspired

by Buchanan’s first visit to the Louvre Museum in Paris in 2003.

She first sketched the paintings she connected with and later painted them

with watercolors. It took a year to figure out how to incorporate the frames, which she sourced from yard sales, antique shops and sales from art stores.

The goal is to match the frame with the styles of the era of the original paintings.

“I look for shapes,” said Buchanan. “If the price is right, I just buy it.”

She buys stacks of frames at a time and refinishes them with acrylic paint.

Once the refinished coat is painted, Buchanan said she can see the pattern

better, which helps her determine which painting they’ll be paired with.

Buchanan said it is impossible to tell how long it takes to create a single piece, because each one goes through a lengthy process. One frame can contain up to 12 total coats of acrylic finishing before it’s complete.

“To get that richness of the colors in the frames, there’s layers and layers and layers,” she said.

Sometimes the frames are created specifically for one painting and other times a frame is versatile enough to match up to 10 different creations. Often she works on two or three paintings at a time.

Buchanan has created 272 individual paintings over a 12-year span and has sold 180. She decides which pieces to recreate based on the emotions that strike when she walks past a painting in a museum.

Buchanan said it often takes two days to sketch these paintings. The actual watercolor painting often happens during festivals and events like the Pleasant Hill Art, Jazz and Wine Fest, or in her studio-gallery in Benicia, which is open to the public and also doubles as her home. She said living above her gallery is convenient and affordable, and much of her money is spent on art supplies.

Buchanan also said that French paints can cost up to $35 dollars for 15 mL of “the right blue.”

“I don’t penny-pinch on the quality of the materials I use, but I cut my own hair,” said Buchanan.

“Whatever it takes to keep going and doing it right.”

Buchanan also creates commissioned paintings, portraits, stage sets and murals for clients, including the Concord Community Youth Center, San Francisco Zoo and the Willows Theater in Concord.

Google doubles down on making its own hardware

By Wendy Lee SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE Amid doubts about its devotion to making and selling hardware, Google said Tuesday it is set on manufacturing its own devices, touting new Android smartphones, a virtual reality headset and an Internet-connected home gadget that rivals the Amazon Echo, all powered by the company’s expansive software and Web services.

For example, the digital, voice-activated Google Assistant -- similar in concept to Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa -- works on several devices.

The assistant can play music in the home, make restaurant reservations or answer questions like “Can dogs eat chocolate?” The first products to use Google Assistant will be a Google-made Android phone named Pixel and a $129 device called Google Home.

Significantly, most bear Google’s well-known brand, instead of just running Android software and applications like Gmail and YouTube, as devices made by partners like Samsung, Huawei and HTC do.

“We’re deeply committed to ... hardware that brings this vision to life,” said Rick Osterloh, a senior vice president of hardware. “This is only the beginning.”

Some analysts said the announcement is a shift in strategy. When Google sold its Motorola handset division, some analysts thought the move signaled that the Mountain View company was exiting the hardware business. Now it seems as though Google is positioning itself to be even more like Apple -- creating not only the software but the devices behind them.

The move into hardware may have been necessary for Google to protect its advertising business by having more devices that are with their customers at all times, said Patrick Moorhead, president of Moor Insights & Strategy.

“With the addition of Google Home, you can theoretically have a Google device 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” Moorhead said, which can aid in building consumer profiles for marketers.

But Google executives said that they will continue to work with other manufacturers and will open up the voice assistant to developers to include in other

hardware.

“In the end, we are a user experience company,” said Rishi Chandra, vice president of product management for home products, adding that “compelling hardware” is a great way to showcase and bring those experiences to customers. He said Google plans to continue to develop its own products and work with other manufacturers.

“We are going to play fair,” Chandra said. Chandra emphasized that bringing Osterloh, a former Motorola executive, back to Google, shows the company’s commitment to hardware. “This is a real organization, and we’re looking to build up,” he said. On Tuesday, Google started taking advance orders for its Pixel smartphones, which have 5-inch and 5.5inch displays and feature high-resolution cameras.

Prices start at $649. Pixel users will be able to store their full-resolution pictures in Google Photos for free. The phones are also the first to support Google’s Daydream software for higher-quality virtual reality.

Daydream will start with more than 50 partners supplying apps and games.

The Daydream software works with the phone as well as a $79 virtual reality viewer and controller called Daydream View that will be available in November at the online Google store, Verizon and Best Buy. The controller allows users to do things like draw images and wave wands in a virtual world.

Google’s headset fits over eyeglasses and is 30 percent lighter than similar headsets, the company said.

More Daydream-ready phones besides Pixel are expected by the end of the year from other smartphone manufacturers.

At $129, the Google Home device sells for less than its rival $170 Amazon Echo. It works with other Internet-connected home devices like lights and speakers, as well as answering questions you might otherwise ask Google through a Web browser on your computer or phone. But there may be some kinks to work out.

A reporter with a soft voice tested out Google Home on Tuesday. The device could not hear her from 2 feet away. A Google representative said loud noise at the press event was not reflective of regular home environments. Another hitch: Google Home will initially be tied to one user account, meaning it can’t access a calendars for a number of family members. Google also got in some gentle ribbing of Apple.

Campaign plan rises at Cal State East Bay

By Kali Persall MANAGING EDITOR

Big changes are on the horizon at Cal State East Bay. This became evident on Saturday when the university hosted a gala to kick off it’s new fundraiser campaign, “Rising in the East,” which aims to raise $60 million for campus by June 30, 2019, corresponding to the school’s 60th anniversary, according to Kathleen Brady, East Bay’s associate vice president for development for University Advancement. So far the campaign has raised $34.3 million.

Rising in the East is the university’s first ever “comprehensive campaign,” a fundraiser that raises money for a wide variety of projects and improvements, rather than focusing on a single department or project, explained Tanya Hauck, vice president of University Advancement and president of East Bay’s Educational Foundation.

The Office of University Advancement is heading the campaign with Brady and Hauck at the helm.

University Advancement is composed of 31 members and is responsible for the branding, positioning and marketing of East Bay. According to a statement by President Leroy Morishita at fall convocation, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will fund 60 scholarships of $1,000 each.

University Advancement has also worked with the nonprofit organization

Ross a fraud prevention department.

“It teaches them what’s out there and to think outside your major,” said Brown.

AACE also hosts workshops to help students prepare for career fairs by teaching them specific skills that can be used when applying for jobs. Brown said this includes teaching students to write two resumes: one that can be used generically and another that’s geared toward the position being applied for.

They also teach students how to work on their elevator speech and how to dress and present themselves during a job interview.

Cal State East Bay Educational Foundation — made of up community members, alumni and philanthropists — as well as ASI and other student groups.

Hauck said the initial idea for the idea was launched in 2009 but was slow to pick up speed due to various leadership transitions within the department and lingering effects of the recession that impacted the economy in 2008.

Over the past two years, Hauck and Brady have been working to bring it back to life by reaching out to philanthropists in the community.

The name was decided by University Advancement after surveying an unknown number of students, faculty and staff over the period of a year.

The name was chosen as a play on words, corresponding to the increase in campus diversity and rising student numbers.

This fall quarter, there were 16,000 new incoming students, according to Brady. Last year, the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Almanac ranked East Bay as the most diverse student body in the state, and the fifth most diverse in the nation.

The initial goal of the campaign was $50 million, but was increased to $60 million because 2019 will be the 60th anniversary of Cal State East Bay, explained Hauck.

The funds will be allocated for a variety of projects, such as the construction of a “collaborative learning center” at the heart of campus, said Hauck.

The center would conceivably offer

internships and mentorship for students and function like a library, with more emphasis on technology and digital tools instead of books and communal spaces for students to work together. Hauck said she envisioned the space as being “futuristic” and the “antidote to the internet.”

The center would be funded through a bond issued through the chancellor’s office and $10 million of the campaign money, according to Hauck.

East Bay’s facilities department is currently working with an architect to map the potential location of the center.

East Bay’s College of Science will also see funds to help with renovations.

According to Hauck, $2.5 million has been raised for this project. Approximately $8 million have also been raised for scholarships.

The campaign also involves a rebranding of the campus, which includes the mural in student parking lot A on campus, an updated website and digital billboards on both directions of the Bay Bridge and at BART stations in Hayward and San Francisco, which picture East Bay students against a sunrise backdrop, according to Hauck.

The branding efforts were funded in part by $300,000 in sponsorships and the rest by money from the state.

Hauck said that University Advancement is focusing on reaching out to the larger philanthropic community and individual alumni as a strategy for raising the remaining funds.

For example, “you shouldn’t show up in Uggs or pajamas,” said Brown.

“Believe me, that happens.” A career prep workshop will be held next Tuesday.

The event is free to students but vendors pay a small fee to table at East Bay, according to Brown.

Nonprofit organizations pay $325, for-profit businesses $525, government agencies $450 and staffing agencies $625.

Last year over 700 students attended the fall job fair. Brown predicts the turn-out will be comparable this year.

The job fair will take place in the Multipurpose Room in the New University Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Police From Page 1

stopped working for the city for reasons “not connected” to the sex scandal, according to the RPD. The officers have 10 days from the notice of recommendation to request a private hearing, after which Richmond Police Chief Allwyn Brown will make a recommendation to the City Manager Bill Lindsay, who has the final say over disciplinary action.

After Lindsay’s decision, the officers have 14 days to oppose the decision and request binding arbitration, which involves including a third party to settle the issue, according to the report.

“Police officers must be held to a higher standard with regard to their personal and professional conduct because their effectiveness in serving the community depends on the public’s trust,” Brown said in a statement.

“Integrity is indispensable to the position of police officer, and a breach of that integrity will not be tolerated at the Richmond Police Department.”

Both the Oakland and Richmond Police Department officials acknowledged there would be major overhauls to policy, training and conduct procedures in light of the findings. The investigation into the Oakland and Livermore Police Department is still ongoing.

According to a statement by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, their investigation into the sexual misconduct involving Abuslin is complete and four deputies who had sex with her were exonerated because, “it was consensual, no one paid and she was 18 at the time.”

State budget crisis sparked fall's Proposition 52 to generate money for Medi-Cal

By Sophia Bollag LOS ANGELES TIMES Californians wading through the long list of statewide ballot measures on Nov. 8 may wonder why they are being asked to weigh in on Proposition 52, a wonky measure to generate money for Medi-Cal, the state's subsidized healthcare program for the poor.

The answer dates back to a state budget crisis in 2012.

"What really triggered it for us was going through that economic downturn," said Anne McLeod, a senior vice president at the California Hospital Assn. "When the people needed the program the most, that's when the state dipped in and took more. That's when we knew we had to stop that."

Proposition 52 would make it harder for lawmakers to change the way money is allocated from a program where California hospitals contribute money to Medi-Cal. This fee paid by hospitals triggers a federal contribution to Medi-Cal that results in a net benefit to hospitals.

The hospital fee program is scheduled to expire in 2018. In addition to solidifying the way the money is allocated, Proposition 52 would make the program permanent. Hospitals paid $4.6 billion through the hospital fee program during the fiscal year that ended in June 2016.

Most of the money went to hospitals for Medi-Cal payments and grants.

Some money also went to the state's general fund. By law, money from the program that goes into the general fund is used to offset costs for children in the Medi-Cal program. Changes to the amount of money used for that purpose prompted hospitals to take the issue to the ballot.

The California Hospital Assn. is sponsoring the initiative, which has no active opposition. The initiative's supporters point to decisions made by lawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown during a 2012 budget crisis as the spark that prompted their campaign.

The Legislature took a larger portion of the fee program for the general fund than the hospitals believed was fair, McLeod said.

At least $260 million originally slated to fund hospitals was moved to the general fund. Some of that money would have funded grants for public hospitals that treat Medi-Cal patients

if it hadn't been diverted, McLeod said. The hospitals that receive these grants are typically county hospitals in urban areas that treat large homeless populations, she said.

"That was a big wake-up call to us," McLeod said. "We worked very hard to make the legislation very careful and very fair as to how much the state would get and how much the hospitals would get... And we found that in difficult times, none of that really mattered."

But it wasn't just hospitals that were unhappy with budget negotiations that year. Lawmakers were slashing costs across the board during the budget crisis, said Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield, who was chairman of the Assembly's budget committee in 2012. He rejected the characterization of the funds as a diversion, noting that the money that went into the general fund was still spent on healthcare.

"We were cutting everything to the bone," Blumenfield said. "During my time, I don't think there was ever inappropriate diversion of money into the general fund." The program Proposition 52 would make permanent began in 2009 and has been reauthorized by the Legislature several times.

"Even though the Legislature has been very supportive of this program, there's political uncertainty when you have a program that [needs renewal] every year or every couple of years," Proposition 52 spokesman Kevin Riggs said. Hospitals and other supporters have put nearly $60 million into their initiative campaign. Proposition 52 was the first measure that qualified for the November ballot, after supporters submitted voter signatures in 2014 too late to qualify for that year's fall ballot.

The initiative's only announced opposition comes from the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, which argues Proposition 52 would allow hospital executives to misuse the money it generates. The union set aside nearly $19 million to oppose the measure, but a spokesman said SEIU-UHW has now decided to spend most of that money on other issues.

Although the proposition would give lawmakers less flexibility to change the way the money is allocated, Blumenfield said the hospital fee it would protect is a "win-win" for the state and the hospitals.

6 FEATURES THE PIONEER Classic gaming comes to Hayward THURSDAY OCTOBER 6, 2016

Retro arcade venue brings back the 1980s

By Tishauna Carrell STAFF WRITER It’s an early Friday night in downtown Hayward and families and college students wander up and down B Street.

A beer brewery, frozen yogurt shop and movie theatre line the block, but it seems everyone is headed to the High Scores Arcade.

Outside the 1980s-themed interactive arcade museum, the bright neon signs flash “OPEN” in the dimmed window and “Rock Me Tonight” by Billy Squier blares outside the door.

The arcade room is dark, lit by multicolored signs and the screens of about 40 machines featuring classic favorites like Pac Man, Tron, Donkey Kong and Zoo Keeper. For most of us millennials, walking through the doors is like walking into an unfamiliar era, but for others it brings back memories.

Shawn Livernoche and his wife Megan co-own High Scores, which has two locations, one in Alameda and one in Hayward. High Scores originally

opened in Burlington, New Jersey in 2010 and relocated to Alameda in 2013 when Megan was offered a job opportunity with Pharma in San Francisco.

The whole lot of arcade machines were shipped to California from New Jersey,

the expenses paid by Megan’s job.

The arcade opened its second location in Hayward in August. “We’re from a diverse area, and it reminded us of home,” said Megan.

Shawn began collecting classic ar-

cade machines in 2006 when the couple lived in a one-bedroom apartment in New Jersey. The couple visited auctions in New Jersey and paid anywhere from $200 to $5,000 per machine and restored the ones in poor condition.

The couple hopes that High Scores will create a social community for gamers. Shawn explained that people are losing their social skills and kids missing out on physically playing games together due to the prevalence of home-based gaming systems. “A lot of gamers don’t leave their house. They sit on their couch with their headsets, playing together but not together,” said Megan. “I think that a totally different social experience than like having to go head-to-head with somebody...it’s a whole different level of interaction.”

The value of arcade machines are increasing as they become harder to find, according to Shawn. When they first started collecting, Donkey Kong cost $500. Ten years later, the couple paid $1,250 for the exact same machine.

Surrounded by dark walls and blaring music, the atmosphere at High Scores is designed to encourage gamers to turn off their phones and be in the present. “You’ve got the music playing, you got the dark walls — we do that purposely so that you can just kinda escape when you come in and focus on having fun,” said Megan.

The machines require no coins. Instead, the couple asks for a donation as an entrance fee: $5 for an hour of play and $10 donation for a day.

"You’ve got the music playing, you got the dark walls - we do that purposely so that you can just kinda escape when you come in and focus on having fun," -Megan Livernoche, co–owner

ASI cracks down on voting and homelessness

By Kali Persall MANAGING EDITOR

With the November 8 Election Day approaching, Cal State East Bay’s student government is currently working to increase student voter registration.

The efforts are primarily online and include sending links through social media and email blasts that link to the California online voter registration webpage, according to ASI Vice President of Communications Karen Parada.

Associated Students, Inc.’s director of legislative affairs has composed a calendar of events and a social media schedule that range the start of school until Oct. 24, the voter registration deadline for these efforts, said Erik Pinlac, executive director of ASI. Homelessness has also been flagged as a top priority for student government. A study commissioned by CSU Chancellor Timothy White in Feb. 2015 revealed that one in 10 CSU students is homeless and one in five goes without consistent access to food.

ASI is conducting a campus-wide survey of students to determine how many go without consistent food and shelter. Based on the findings, a reso-

lution will be presented to the university, said Pinlac.

Two ASI board members are serving on the advisory board of Pioneers for H.O.P.E. — Helping Our Pioneers Excel — a new program that provides students with meals, housing assistance, emergency funds and referrals to other resources.

“If you’re worried about where your next meal is coming from, you’re not going to do well in class,” said Parada.

Student Government on Campus If you’ve ever grabbed a free scantron from the new University Union minutes before a test or attended a campus al Fresco event — where rapper Kamaiyah and singer Marc E. Bassy performed last Wednesday — you’ve utilized one of the largest organizations on Cal State East Bay’s campus, perhaps without even realizing it.

Associated Students Inc. is a student-run organization that allocates student fees to fund student services and campus events like these.

Students often recognize the organization for its association with “welcome back” pool parties, mixers and soccer tailgates, but ASI is also involved with campus initiatives like East Bay’s African American Resource Center and the DREAM center for un-

documented students, according to Parada. Students requested these two resource centers last year.

ASI drafted and passed a resolution to inform campus administration about what students wanted to see on campus.

The African American Resource Center task force — on which ASI has two representatives — met multiple times last winter and spring to discuss how to move forward with the project, which is still in its infancy.

Since the resolution, the DREAM center has been discussed, but the task force has not met yet, according to Pinlac.

How Does ASI Operate?

ASI is funded in part by the $43 student body fee that is incorporated into tuition costs every quarter, according to Parada. The organization has the authority and budget to fund campus clubs and programs. ASI’s total budget for 2016-17 is $1,899,326, according to Pinlac.

ASI functions like a miniature government and is run by a 15-member board of directors which consists of a president, executive vice president, vice president of finance, vice president of Student Affairs, associate vice president of Student Affairs, vice

president of communications, a chair member, four Senators and five directors, according to the ASI website.

All board member positions are held by students and are paid by East Bay’s Human Resources Department.

Students have to run for the positions in the spring and are elected to oneyear terms, beginning on June 30 and ending the same time the following year. Last spring, 14 positions were open for reelection.

Nine committees currently support some of these positions and serve as something like a task force, according to Parada.

Committees include: the Concord Campus Committee, Environmental Affairs Committee, Executive Committee, External Affairs Committee, Finance Committee, Internal affairs Committee, Legislative Affairs Committee, Personnel Committee and the Programming Council Committee.

According to the ASI official bylaws, committees are formed in order to assist the Board of Directors in governing the various activities of the university.

Common Student Concerns ASI is the self-proclaimed “advocate for students” and aims to function as a liaison between students and the uni-

versity administration. Parada said the main purpose of the organization is to listen to student’s issues and concerns and convey them in writing to the university officials for a resolution.

ASI decides how to address student issues based on certain criteria, including the scale of the concern and who is involved, according to Pinlac.

Parada said that common concerns are heard from transfer, commuter, international and freshman students.

Transfer students often have problems transferring course credits from their previous schools. Commuter students sometimes feel disconnected from campus culture, international students can feel isolated due to a language barrier and freshmen are often confused about how to initiate a relationship with a major advisor.

ASI also covers some expenses for students who want to to attend conferences and other events relating to their major but can’t afford to do it on their own, explained Parada.

ASI assisted with the travel expenses for an internship in Mexico for her major, in biology, pre-med last year.

“ASI’s goal is to provide students with what they really need and be there for them, whether it’s through funding or events,” said Parada.

Últimos juegos fuera de las conferencias de fútbol de mujeres y hombres el ritmo de ellos los tiene por lo general 5-5 y 1-3 en el juego de CCAA. Su próximo partido es mañana contra la Universidad Estatal de San Bernardino (5-3-1 general, conferencia 3-2-1) a las 12:30 p.m. Su próximo partido en casa es el 16 de octubre a las 2:00 p.m. contra el estado de Chico (3-4-3, 2-2-2).

Por Marissa Marshall

ESCRITORA DEL PERSONAL Traducción por Wendy Medina EDITORA DE COPIA El viernes, tanto las mujeres como el equipo de fútbol de los hombres, jugaron en el Estadio Pioneer en sus últimos juegos fuera de las conferencias de la temporada frente a los Banana Slugs de la Universidad de California, Santa Cruz.

El juego era una oportunidad para que los dos equipos se preparen para el resto de la temporada, donde van a jugar todos los juegos de la Conferencia de la Asociación Atlética de California Colegiados y luchar por una oportunidad en los playoffs.

Fútbol masculino Los hombres aprovecharon el partido con los Banana Slugs y ejecutaron su plan de juego, que el centrocampista de segundo año Jared Johnson dijo que era “jugar el juego; jugamos y no dejamos que el otro equipo dicta la forma en que jugamos nuestro juego.”

A lo largo de la primera mitad del juego, los Pioneros se mantuvieron fiel al plan — controlaron el ritmo del juego y pusieron presión constante sobre Santa Cruz (2-7-1 general). Los Pioneros lograron bajar 10 tiros en la primera mitad, pero no podrían poner ninguna de sus posibilidades de distancia, lo que resultó en un 0-0 para el final de la primera mitad.

El juego se mantuvo sin goles hasta el minuto 68, cuando el portero de Santa Cruz, estudiante de primer año Andrew Pimentel bloqueo múltiples disparos consecutivos de varios Pioneros. Sin embargo, Johnson hizo un seguimiento de la última secuencia hecho por Pimentel y puso un tiro en la parte inferior derecha de la portería. El gol era el primero de la temporada para Johnson, así como su primer a nivel universitario.

“Steffan Sauer se llevó el balón en el lado derecho y envió el balón y inicialmente pasó mi pie, pero Davis Okonkwo sacó un disparo y el arquero lo bloqueo y yo era capaz de seguir y poner la pelota en el fondo de la red,” dijo Johnson.

Los Pioneros adquirieron cierto impulso después del gol y seis minutos más tarde, defensor de alto nivel Juan Alfaro también anotó su primer gol de la temporada. Los Pioneros marcaron falta fuera del área 18 yardas en un empuje ofensivo y Alfaro tomó el lanzamiento de penalti y anotó.

El objetivo de Alfaro aseguró la victoria para East Bay, que es su segunda

El centrocampista de alto nivel Víctor Calderón llevó a los Pioneros con cinco disparos, centrocampista alto Zach León y primer ciclo de centrocampista Michael Paiva cada

uno tenían dos.

“Tenemos que seguir jugando nuestro estilo de juego y no dejar que los equipos nos aturden,” dijo Alfaro. “Tenemos el equipo para llegar a los playoffs y hac-

er bien en la conferencia, pero es todo acerca de permanecer fieles a nosotros mismos y ganar los partidos de casa particular.”

El plan del Este de la Bahía de dictar

Fútbol femenino El equipo de fútbol femenino de la Bahía del Este tuvo un resultado diferente en contra de Santa Cruz (2-6-1) que los hombres cuando se vieron obligadas a jugar su segundo juego de tiempo extra en una fila.

Los Pioneros dominaron los tiros a puerta, ya que dominaron los Banana Slugs 14-6, pero no fueron capaces de aprovechar las oportunidades.

La primera mitad terminó con el marcador empatado a cero y East Bay fueron frustradas por su incapacidad de anotar.

“Tenemos que tener mucha más hambre en el cuadro,” dijo la centrocampista Andrea Hernández. “Ya sea que sea. Buceando, lanzando nuestros cuerpos contra el balón ... todo lo que vaya a ayudarnos a conseguir un gol.”

En el minuto 57, Santa Cruz fue capaz de subir al tablero primero. La centrocampista de cuarto año Megan Carey fue capaz de poner el balón por encima de la portera de alto nivel de los Pioneros, Jasmine Corbet, después de que ella recibió un pase largo de su portera, Athena Del Rosario.

East Bay no permitió que el gol las desalentara y sólo 53 segundos más tarde, delantera de primer año Jessey Santos anotó su primer gol de la temporada cuando golpeó un tiro en el poste inferior izquierda, que empató el juego en uno.

Después del partido, Santos explicó que la sensación era increíble después de que anotó, pero rápidamente se dio cuenta que el juego todavía estaba atado.

En los últimos 12 segundos del tiempo reglamentario, Corbet hizo un embrague salvo que ayudó a los Pioneros evitar una pérdida, y envió el partido a tiempo extra.

A lo largo de las horas extraordinarias, East Bay tuvo múltiples ocasiones para marcar pero no fueron capaces de convertirlos, terminando el juego en un empate, 1-1.

East Bay es ahora 2-5-3 y 1-3-0 global en juegos de la conferencia esta temporada. Su próximo partido es mañana a las 3 p.m. en la Universidad Estatal de San Bernardino (4-5-1, 3-2-1) y el próximo juego de CSUEB en casa es de 16 de octubre a las 11:30 a.m. contra el estado de Chico (4-6-1, 0-6-0).

Recomendaciones de suspensión para el Departamento de Policía de Richmond Por Louis LaVenture

EDITOR EN JEFE Traducción por Wendy Medina EDITORA DE COPIA El martes, el abogado de Jasmine Abuslin, una prostituta de 19 años de edad anteriormente conocida con el alias de Celeste Guap, presentó una demanda de $30 millones de dólares contra el Departamento de Policía de Richmond y una demanda de $6 millones de dólares contra el Departamento de Policía de Livermore. Previamente, ella había presentado una demanda de $66 millones contra el Departamento de Policía de Oakland también.

El 23 de septiembre, el Departamento de Policía de Richmond anunció una serie de recomendaciones disci-

plinarias derivadas de un escándalo sexual en torno a Abuslin. La Oficina de Responsabilidad Profesional del departamento dirigió la investigación que incluyó a más de 10.000 mensajes de texto y registros telefónicos, y más de 5.000 páginas de medios sociales.

La investigación también incluyó 13 horas de video grabado de testimonio voluntario de la testiga adolescente a lo largo de cinco sesiones de entrevistas, todos según el informe.

La investigación condujo sugirió a la recomendación de medidas disciplinarias por nueve oficiales: una para ser cesado en el empleo, una para ser degradado, dos para ser suspendidos — uno durante 80 horas y el otro para 120 horas — y cinco oficiales para recibir las cartas de reprimenda que estarán en sus archivos permanentes.

De acuerdo con Abuslin, tuvo en-

cuentros sexuales con más de 20 agentes de policía, varios de los cuales se produjeron mientras ella era menor de edad. A cambio recibió información sobre las próximas y posibles timos de prostitución y localizaciones en varios casos.

Guap dijo que cuando tenía 17 años de edad, se convirtió en una relación sentimental con un policía de Oakland que la salvó de su chulo abusivo.

Guap afirma que ese oficial fue el que la presentó a otros policías que eventualmente se convirtieron en clientes de sus servicios de prostitución.

La ley de California no permite la ciudad para revelar los nombres de los agentes implicados y dos de ellos ya habían dejado a trabajar para la ciudad por razones “no conectadas” al escándalo sexual, de acuerdo con el DPR.

Los funcionarios tienen 10 días a partir de la notificación de la recomendación de solicitar una audiencia privada, después de lo cual el jefe de policía de Richmond, Allwyn Brown hará una recomendación al administrador de la ciudad Bill Lindsay, que tiene la última palabra sobre las medidas disciplinarias.

Después de la decisión de Lindsay, los funcionarios tienen 14 días para oponerse a la decisión y solicitar un arbitraje vinculante, que consiste en incluir a un grupo tercero para resolver la cuestión, según el informe.

“Los agentes de policía deben mantenerse a un nivel superior con respecto a su conducta personal y profesional, ya que su eficacia en el servicio a la comunidad depende de la confianza del público,” dijo Brown en un comunicado. “La integridad es indispensable

para el puesto de oficial de policía, así como una violación de integridad que no será tolerada en el Departamento de Policía de Richmond.”

Tanto el Departamento de Policía de Richmond y Oakland, los funcionarios reconocieron que habría grandes revisiones a la política, la formación y procedimientos de conducta a la luz de los hallazgos.

La investigación en el Departamento de Policía de Oakland y Livermore todavía están en curso.

De acuerdo con un comunicado de la oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Alameda, la investigación sobre la mala conducta sexual que implica Abuslin es completa y cuatro diputados que tenían relaciones sexuales con ella fueron exonerados porque, “fue consensuada, nadie prestó y que tenía 18 años en el momento.”

Fuera del museo de juegos electrónicos interactivos con temas de 1980, los anuncios de neón brillante destilan "ABIERTO" en la ventana atenuada y "Rock Me Tonight" de Billy Squier sona fuera de la puerta.

Para la mayoría de nosotros de la generación del milenio, caminando a través de las puertas es como entrar en una era desconocida, pero para otros trae recuerdos.

Shawn Livernoche y su esposa Megan co-propian el arcade High Scores, que tiene dos ubicaciones, una en Alameda y una en Hayward. High Scores abrió originalmente en Burlington, Nueva Jersey en 2010 y se trasladó a Alameda en 2013, cuando Megan se le ofreció una oportunidad de trabajo con Pharma en San Francisco. Todo el lote de máquinas recreativas fueron enviadas a California desde Nueva Jersey, los gastos pagados por el trabajo de Megan.

La galería abrió su segundo local en Hayward, en agosto. "Somos de un área diversa, y nos recordó a casa," dijo Megan.

Shawn comenzó a recoger las máquinas de arcade clásico en 2006, cuando la pareja vivía en un apartamento de una habitación en Nueva Jersey. La pareja visitó subastas en Nueva Jersey y pagaron alrededor de $200 a $5,000 por máquina y restauraron las que estaban en mal estado.

La pareja espera que mejores puntuaciones creará una comunidad social para los jugadores.

Shawn explicó que las personas están perdiendo sus habilidades sociales y a niños les faltan a cabo en jugar a juegos juntos físicamente debido a la prevalencia de los sistemas de juego basados en el hogar. "Una gran cantidad de jugadores no salen de su casa. Se sientan en el sofá con sus auriculares, jugar juntos, pero no juntos," dijo Megan. "Creo que es una experiencia social totalmente diferente a como tener que ir de cabeza a cabeza con alguien ...

Es un nivel completamente diferente de interacción."

El valor de las máquinas recreativas están aumentando a medida que se vuelven más difíciles de encontrar, de acuerdo con Shawn. Cuando empezaron a recoger, Donkey Kong costaba $500. Diez años más tarde, la pareja pagó $1.250 por la misma máquina exacta.

Rodeada de paredes oscuras y la música a todo volumen, la atmósfera en High Scores está diseñada para animar a los jugadores para apagar sus teléfonos y estar en el presente. "Tienes la reproducción de música, tienes las paredes oscuras — lo hacemos a propósito para que puedan escapar sólo un poco cuando entren y se centran en la diversión," dijo Megan.

Las máquinas requieren ninguna moneda. En su lugar, la pareja pide una donación como un derecho de entrada: $5 para una hora de juego y $10 por un día.

Warriors ready for new season

Basketball fans react to a basket by Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry during the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder of Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference finals at Oracle Arena on May 26, 2016 in Oakland.

By Victoria Groenewold CONTRIBUTOR The Golden State Warriors’ 2016-17 basketball season started with a 97-93 pre-season loss on Oct. 1 against the Toronto Raptors in Toronto.

The rest of the NBA might want to play the Warriors early this year before they come together as this team. They are loaded with talent and seem determined to avenge the disappointment of last year’s NBA Finals loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. There will be no 73 record-setting wins this year or an unbelievable 24-0 start, which will be a good thing. A lot of energy went into the undefeated streak to begin the year.

The team set out to beat the 72-10 record held by the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls, who had the most regular season wins in an NBA season. The Warriors answered with a 73-9 performance, one better than the 72-10 mark posted by the Bulls.

Once the playoffs started last season, the constant attention they received and the physical abuse they put themselves through to get to that point may have been their downfall. Forward Draymond Green stated during Warriors media day on Sept. 26, that he doesn’t want to chase that record again because of the stress and strain they put themselves under.

Although they defeated Kevin Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder made them work much harder than anyone imagined. The Warriors came back from a 3-1 deficit to ultimately win the series 4-3, but they burned themselves out in the process.

Then when they went up 3-1 on the Cavs in the Finals, they may have thought it was over, but Green got suspended and they blew the series to the Lebron James-led team that made history for Cleveland, capturing their first championship.

Most teams would have stayed the same and prepared for another run at a title. With team owner Joe Lacob at the helm, the Warriors instead went all in and went after the top free agent on the market, Durant, and signed him to a two-year deal worth $54.3 million.

As high as that number is, consider that Warrior forward Harrison Barnes signed a $94 million deal for four years with the Dallas Mavericks for an average of $23.5 million per year. For an extra $4.5 million, the Warriors get 16 points more per game as Durant averaged 28.2 compared to Barnes 11.7, and one of the top five players in the league.

With praise also comes criticism, and several former NBA players thought Durant came to the Bay Area for the wrong reasons. Most notably, NBA Hall of Famer and NBA analyst Charles Barkley said after the signing, “Kevin Durant is trying to cheat his way into a championship.”

Barkley forgot about how he worked a deal to get himself traded to the Houston Rockets from the Phoenix Suns, when the Rockets won multiple titles in

the 1990s, as did Lebron James when he went to Miami and took his “talents to South Beach” in 2010.

The Warriors also signed Zaza Pachulia, a free agent center. His numbers are better than the departing Andrew Bogut’s, who signed with the Dallas Mavericks. Pachulia’s numbers, 9.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, are much better than Bogut’s 5.4 points, 7 rebounds and he shoots 75 percent from the free throw line compared to Bogut’s 48 percent. There will be no “Hack-a-Zaza” as there was back in the day.

The “Hack-a-Shaq” was a technique when teams would foul Shaquille O’Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of the game to get him to shoot free throws, since his chance of hitting one was 52.7 percent for his career.

Just like that, a team that won 73 games and went to the NBA Finals. The last two years improved their starting lineup by significantly. That is the key factor that will be the driving force this season for the squad and a bitter pill for the rest of the NBA to swallow.

The rest of the team is rock solid and they might have a better bench than they had last year, which carried the mantra “Strength in Numbers.” They lost forwards Leandro Barbosa, Mo Speights and center Festus Ezili, along with Bogut and Barnes.

However, they signed a solid big man in forward, David West from the San Antonio Spurs to go along with returning Warriors forward Andre Igoudala, guard Sean Livingston, forward James Michael Macadoo and forward Kevon Looney. They also picked up center Damian Jones from Vanderbilt in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft and versatile guard Patrick McCaw from UNLV in the second round, which adds a ton of youth. The bottom line is that the Warriors are going to be the mostwatched team in the sports this NBA season because of their recent success and the superstar status of Stephen Curry.

Once the players get used to each other, no team will want to face them in the playoffs because of how dominating they will be by the end of the year.

This year the goal for the Warriors will be to win lock up the number one seed in the playoffs so that they have home court advantage throughout the at Oracle Arena, one of the loudest venues in all professional sports Look for them to rest their star players this year in strategic times of their schedules like Gregg Popovich does as coach of the San Antonio Spurs.

Popovich has a history of resting his star players like Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard and the now retired Tim Duncan to give them physical breaks over the grueling 82 game regular season schedule.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr played for Popovich in 1999-2001 and 2002-2003 so he is familiar with his style. Look out for the Dubs in the regular season and playoffs because they will have a definite chip on their shoulder from a disappointing end to a remarkable 2015-2016 season.

Raiders beat Ravens on the road • Undefeated on the road, 3-0 • 3-1 overall record • Second place in the AFC West Division behind the Denver Broncos (4-0 overall)

By Louis LaVenture EDITOR-IN-CHIEF A quarter of the way through the 2016 NFL season finds the Oakland Raiders in unfamiliar territory.

For the first time in more than 15 years the silver and black are a perfect 3-0 on the road and 3-1 overall.

That places them in second place in the AFC West just behind the undefeated defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos (4-0).

Third-year gunslinging quarterback and Fresno State graduate Derek Carr led Oakland to a close 28-27 victory over the previously undefeated Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday.

“We are a road team I guess,” Carr jokingly told reporters following the game. “Road wins are hard to come by and we definitely appreciate the success we have had early on.”

Carr was stellar on the day and finished the game 25-for35 passing as he accumulated 199 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree and second-year man Amari Cooper caught the bulk of the passes as the two combined for 12 receptions, 138 yards and 3 touchdowns on the day.

However, it was the much maligned defense of the first few weeks that stepped up for the second straight game.

Oakland previously gave up 70 points in their first two

games, however, after allowing just 17 points last week, the defense bounced back with another solid showing on the road.

“Guys are doing their jobs,” Oakland Head Coach and Hayward native Jack Del Rio said following the game.

“The recognition and awareness is clear. These guys are playing for each other and that shows.”

Oakland didn’t have much success on the ground with their newly appointed running back by committee approach that features veteran Latavius Murray and rookies Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. The three combined for just 64 yards on 15 carries in the win.

It was Baltimore who had success on the ground and highlighted a primary weakness of the silver and black defense, the run stopping game.

Oakland was gashed time and time again by second string running back Terrance West, who filled in for Baltimore’s normal starter and Cal Berkeley alum Justin Forsett.

Forsett has been ineffective the first couple weeks and Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he was a “healthy scratch” before the game.

His replacement West finished the game with 21 carries, 113 yards and a touchdown, an area the Raiders will need to figure out before teams take advantage of it.

Oakland rookie linebacker Cory James led the team in tackles with 12 in his second consecutive start after he replaced linebacker Ben Heeney in the starting lineup two weeks ago against the Tennessee Titans. James also assisted on three tackles and forced a fumble.

The Raiders finally return to Oakland on Sunday where they lost their only home game this season to the Atlanta Falcons 35-34 two weeks ago.

Oakland will take on AFC West rival the San Diego Chargers who are coming off a tough 35-34 loss to the New Orleans Saints at home. The Chargers are 1-3 and in last place in the AFC West division.

Soccer teams slug it out with Santa Cruz

By Marissa Marshall STAFF WRITER On Friday, both the women and men’s soccer teams played at the Pioneer Stadium in their final non-conference games of the season against the University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs.

The game was a chance for the two teams to prepare for the rest of the season, where they will be playing all California Collegiate Athletic Association Conference games and fight for a chance in the playoffs.

Men’s Soccer The men took advantage of the match with the Banana Slugs and executed their game plan, which sophomore midfielder Jared Johnson said was to, “play the game; we play and do not let the other team dictate the way we play our game.”

Throughout the first half of the game, the Pioneers stayed true to the plan — controlled the tempo and put constant pressure on Santa Cruz (2-7-1 overall).

The Pioneers managed to get off 10 shots in the first half, but could not put any of their chances away, which resulted in a 0-0 stalemate by the end of the first half.

The game remained scoreless until the 68th minute when Santa Cruz’s goalkeeper, freshman Andrew Pimentel blocked multiple consecutive shots from several Pioneers. However, East Bay sophomore midfielder Jared Johnson followed up on the last block made by Pimentel and put a shot into the bottom right of the goal. The goal was Johnson’s first of the season, as well as his first at the collegiate level.

“Steffan Sauer got the ball on the

right side and sent the ball in and it initially passed my foot, but Davis Okonkwo took a shot and the keeper blocked it and I was able to follow up and put in the back of the net,” Johnson said.

The Pioneers gained some momentum after the goal and six minutes later senior defender Juan Alfaro also scored his first goal of the season. The Pioneers were fouled outside the 18 yard box on an offensive push and Alfaro took the penalty shot and scored.

Alfaro’s goal secured the East Bay win, which is their second win in a row.

Senior midfielder Victor Calderon led the Pioneers with five shots, senior midfielder Zach Leon and junior midfielder Michael Paiva each had two.

“We have to continue playing our style of play and not let teams rattle us,” said Alfaro. “We have the team to reach the playoffs and do well in conference, but it’s all about staying true to ourselves and winning our home games especially.”

East Bay’s plan of dictating the pace has them at 5-5 overall and 1-3 in CCAA play. Their next game is tomorrow at Cal State San Bernardino (5-3-1 overall, 3-21 conference) at 12:30 p.m. Their next home game is Oct. 16 at 2 p.m. against Chico State (3-4-3, 2-2-2).

Women’s Soccer The East Bay’s women’s soccer team had a different outcome against Santa Cruz (2-6-1) than the men when they were forced to play their second overtime game in a row.

The Pioneers dominated the shots on goal as they overpowered the Banana Slugs 14-6, but were unable to capitalize on the opportunities.

The first half ended with the score tied at zero and East Bay was frustrated

with their inability to score.

“We have to be a lot hungrier in the box,” said senior midfielder Andrea Hernandez. “Whether that be. Diving, throwing our bodies at the ball...anything that is going to help us get a goal.”

In the 57th minute, Santa Cruz was able to get on the board first. Senior midfielder Megan Carey was able to put the ball over the Pioneers’ senior goalkeeper Jasmine Corbet after she received a long pass from her goalkeeper,

senior Athena Del Rosario.

East Bay didn’t let the goal discourage them and just 53 seconds later, freshman forward Jessey Santos scored her first goal of the season when she struck a shot at the bottom left post, that tied the game at one.

After the game, Santos explained that the feeling was amazing after she scored but she quickly realized the game was still tied. In the last 12 seconds of regulation, Corbet made a clutch save that

helped the Pioneers avoid a loss and sent the game into overtime. Throughout overtime, East Bay had multiple chances to score but were unable to convert them, ending the game in a tie, 1-1.

East Bay is now 2-5-3 overall and 1-30 in conference games this season. Their next game is tomorrow at 3 p.m. at Cal State San Bernardino (4-5-1, 3-2-1) and CSUEB’s next home game is Oct. 16 at 11:30 a.m. against Chico State (4-6-1, 0-6-0).

Sharks looking to build on last season San Jose still without a Stanley Cup Championship

By Benjamin Conroy CONTRIBUTOR The San Jose Sharks preseason, which started on Sept. 27, is off to a great start: they’ve gone into overtime twice against the Vancouver Canucks and once against the Arizona Coyotes, and all three games have been victories.

The Sharks finished last year with a 46-30-6 regular season record — finishing third in the Pacific Division — and took a trip to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in team history.

Lead by their captain Joe Pavelski, this was the best season in Shark’s history. They lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games, falling just two victories short of capturing their first Stanley Cup ever.

The 25th season marked a great year not only because the team went to the Cup Finals for the first time, but because it gave the fans hope again.

With a reputation of having high expectations at the start of a season and playoffs, and then “choking” in the first or second round of playoffs, Sharks fans have hope again. The team proved that they can get there, now they just need to finish.

This season has the potential to be just as good, if not better than the last.

This offseason, there were several big free-agents out on the market. While the Sharks may not have landed any big name players, they did sign two key players: one that has the potential to be a top six forward and the other who could be a top 4 defenseman on an already very deep team.

During their short offseason, the Sharks management team, lead by general manager Doug Wilson, was hard at work with two big free-agency signings: forward Mikkel Boedker from Colorado and defenseman David Schlemko from New Jersey.

Schlemko is coming off of a career year with the Devils tallying 6 goals and 13 assists in just 67 games. Boedker tied his career high in points with 51 — 17 goals and 34 assists — last season while playing for both the Arizona Coyotes and the Colorado Avalanche. The Sharks are hoping both these players come in and make an impact with the team right from the get go, and they most definitely will.

The Sharks are expected to have another great season and are off to a great start so far in preseason.

The roster still needs to be cut down to 23 players and are currently sitting at 37 players.

Expect more hard hockey in the following weeks as the young rookies trying to earn their spots on the team in the following weeks.

The season opener is Oct. 12 against division rivals the Los Angeles Kings at SAP Center in San Jose.
