(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A.C.T. is the one of the Bay Area’s biggest repertory companies, known for its thousand-seat Geary Theater near Union Square. But the company has long sought a smaller space for more experimental projects and plays by its conservatory students. So Perloff wants to carve the Strand into two small theaters, plus an all-day café and bar in the lobby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there will be a huge gathering space,\" she said. \"And what we really felt is the most important thing is to have life on the street level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's still a gritty street with panhandlers, hustlers and drug users. But Mid-Market is also caught in a tug of war between arts companies looking for cheap rents and high-tech firms like Twitter and Zendesk who have moved to Market Street to cash in on a tax break from the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that challenge, there’s another arts success story in the making, a few blocks from the Strand. Lorraine Hansberry Theatre lost its stage a few years ago, and now its artistic director, Steven Anthony Jones, looks to share in plans by a developer and a number of foundations to convert a pair of rundown properties at 950 Market Street into an arts and education center. The center, where Mid-Market meets the Tenderloin, would include four small theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones thinks the tech companies and arts producers can make good neighbors. \"Those people have to do something in the evening and on the weekends. This has to be more than just a place where people come to work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The literacy group Youth Speaks and others arts groups are looking to move in, seeking shelter from rising rents – afraid they'll be priced right out of San Francisco. A.C.T.'s Executive Director Ellen Richard says that's even true for her company, which wants to move its offices to 950 Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just lost 12,000 square feet because the rental prices went up 50 percent. The market in San Francisco has just kind of gone berserk the last couple of years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elvin Padilla has helped make 950 Market and the Strand projects happen, as the former executive director, and now consultant, for the Tenderloin Economic Development Project. One goal is to avoid a polarized landscape of haves and have-nots: well-paid techies versus the immigrant families that populate the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arts are a way for us to all have a place where we can meet,\" Padilla said. \"And where we can share human experiences like music and dance and literacy. And we think that is vital for a healthy neighborhood and a healthy city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla applauds efforts by Mayor Ed Lee and other city leaders to lobby for the arts in Mid-Market. But he notes A.C.T. is raising the $30 million it needs for the Strand on its own, and that even the 950 Market project could fail without city support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we want to see something different, a diversity of uses beyond a generic office mall that the free market will be most happy to supply, we have to intervene. All cities either provide land or provide funding, or in some instances both. There’s been no funding and there’s been no land.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new owners of 950 Market, for instance, are facing millions of dollars in city fees. A few officials are listening, though. Supervisor Jane Kim represents Mid-Market, and she’s working on a measure to create an arts special-use district that would reduce developer fees on space reserved for nonprofits arts. It's the kind of break that could help a Mid-Market arts company like Alonzo King's LINES Ballet, which rehearses in a building without heat or hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As LINES director Janette Gitler told me, it would be very sad if the city’s success in bringing companies to Mid-Market means arts groups like hers have to move out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceItemEmbedly\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F111268972&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float:right\">\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" title=\"Powered by Embedly\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" class=\"media-attribution-link\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n",

(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A.C.T. is the one of the Bay Area’s biggest repertory companies, known for its thousand-seat Geary Theater near Union Square. But the company has long sought a smaller space for more experimental projects and plays by its conservatory students. So Perloff wants to carve the Strand into two small theaters, plus an all-day café and bar in the lobby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there will be a huge gathering space,\" she said. \"And what we really felt is the most important thing is to have life on the street level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's still a gritty street with panhandlers, hustlers and drug users. But Mid-Market is also caught in a tug of war between arts companies looking for cheap rents and high-tech firms like Twitter and Zendesk who have moved to Market Street to cash in on a tax break from the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite that challenge, there’s another arts success story in the making, a few blocks from the Strand. Lorraine Hansberry Theatre lost its stage a few years ago, and now its artistic director, Steven Anthony Jones, looks to share in plans by a developer and a number of foundations to convert a pair of rundown properties at 950 Market Street into an arts and education center. The center, where Mid-Market meets the Tenderloin, would include four small theaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones thinks the tech companies and arts producers can make good neighbors. \"Those people have to do something in the evening and on the weekends. This has to be more than just a place where people come to work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The literacy group Youth Speaks and others arts groups are looking to move in, seeking shelter from rising rents – afraid they'll be priced right out of San Francisco. A.C.T.'s Executive Director Ellen Richard says that's even true for her company, which wants to move its offices to 950 Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We just lost 12,000 square feet because the rental prices went up 50 percent. The market in San Francisco has just kind of gone berserk the last couple of years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elvin Padilla has helped make 950 Market and the Strand projects happen, as the former executive director, and now consultant, for the Tenderloin Economic Development Project. One goal is to avoid a polarized landscape of haves and have-nots: well-paid techies versus the immigrant families that populate the Tenderloin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The arts are a way for us to all have a place where we can meet,\" Padilla said. \"And where we can share human experiences like music and dance and literacy. And we think that is vital for a healthy neighborhood and a healthy city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Padilla applauds efforts by Mayor Ed Lee and other city leaders to lobby for the arts in Mid-Market. But he notes A.C.T. is raising the $30 million it needs for the Strand on its own, and that even the 950 Market project could fail without city support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we want to see something different, a diversity of uses beyond a generic office mall that the free market will be most happy to supply, we have to intervene. All cities either provide land or provide funding, or in some instances both. There’s been no funding and there’s been no land.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new owners of 950 Market, for instance, are facing millions of dollars in city fees. A few officials are listening, though. Supervisor Jane Kim represents Mid-Market, and she’s working on a measure to create an arts special-use district that would reduce developer fees on space reserved for nonprofits arts. It's the kind of break that could help a Mid-Market arts company like Alonzo King's LINES Ballet, which rehearses in a building without heat or hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As LINES director Janette Gitler told me, it would be very sad if the city’s success in bringing companies to Mid-Market means arts groups like hers have to move out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceItemEmbedly\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F111268972&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float:right\">\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" title=\"Powered by Embedly\">\u003cimg src=\"//static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" class=\"media-attribution-link\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

While past America's Cups have been contested miles out at sea, this one will be sailed in one of the world's greatest natural amphitheaters, with a steady wind and sometimes tricky tide. Fans can watch from the shore or high-rise buildings. After starting parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge, the boats sail a short reach across the wind and then speed downwind past Alcatraz Island. The five-leg course ends just off Piers 27-29, home to America's Cup Park. TV shots will feature the Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges, the Coit Tower and the Transamerica Pyramid.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Larry Ellison: \u003c/strong>The co-founder and CEO of Oracle Corp. is an avid sailor who's spent an estimated $500 million during the last 10 years in pursuing, winning and now defending the silver trophy. Then again, his estimated net worth of $43 billion makes him one of the world's wealthiest individuals. People either love or hate Ellison, and there's been plenty of grumbling that his grand vision for a regatta with a dozen or more challengers fizzled, in part because of the economy and the expensive, dangerous boats. Ellison hasn't been seen publically and has been kept away from the press, except for one network TV interview. His presence is still felt, though. Two of his super yachts (i.e., super big and super expensive), the 288-foot Musashi and the 184-foot Asahi are moored at America's Cup Park. Also on techie-billionaire row are Athena, owned by Jim Clark (Netscape, Silicon Graphics) and Senses, owned by Ellison's rival, Larry Page of Google. Senses — moored between Ellison's yachts — stands out because of the red helicopter on the helipad on the stern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Scandal:\u003c/strong> Oracle Team USA was caught illegally modifying 45-foot catamarans that were used in the warmup regattas called the America's Cup World Series. An international jury issued the harshest penalties in the 162-year history of the America's Cup. Besides docking Oracle two points, wing trimmer Dirk de Ridder was booted from the regatta, along with two shore crew members. Grinder Matt Mitchell was banned from the first four races and the syndicate was fined $250,000. Although Spithill and syndicate CEO Russell Coutts were never implicated, the jury said it \"seems inconceivable that boat riggers initiated these changes without the knowledge of managers, or the direction of sailors, if not skippers.\" Spithill has been almost defiant, saying Oracle is a clear underdog. He also called on locals to support the crew. \"We want to keep the Cup here. These guys don't,\" he said at a news conference, referring to ETNZ skipper Dean Barker and trimmer Glenn Ashby. \"We're counting on San Franciscans to come out and support us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Basics:\u003c/strong> The 72-foot catamarans are powered by 131-foot wing sails that look and perform like jetliner wings, including flaps. At around 20 knots, the boats lift onto hydrofoils, their hulls completely out of the water to reduce drag and increase speed. It takes 11 crew to sail the demanding boats, and the sailors bound across the trampoline from one hull to another when the boats tack or gybe. The sailors wear crash helmets and life vests. After Artemis Racing's Andrew \"Bart\" Simpson was killed in a capsize on May 9, sailors began wearing body armor, knives, an air tank and breathing tube, self-lowering equipment and underwater locator devices. The five-leg course helps accommodate the schedule of two races a day to fit into a TV window. The course goes on a reach, downwind, upwind, downwind and a short reach to the finish. There will be two races a day on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and, if needed, next Friday, Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sept. 19. A single race is set for Sept. 21, if needed. The series would continue beyond that to accommodate Oracle's need to win 11 races. After Sunday, the races will be shown on NBC Sports Network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Goodonya, mates: \u003c/strong>There's a definite Down Under flavor to the America's Cup. Oracle skipper Spithill is Aussie, although his wife is from San Diego and they have a home there. Coutts won the first two of his four America's Cups with his native New Zealand. Of Emirates Team New Zealand's 15 sailors, 13 are Kiwis and the other two are Aussies, although Adam Beashel also has a New Zealand passport. Of the 11 men who will sail Oracle Team USA, four are Aussies and two are Kiwis. Only two are Americans, tactician John Kostecki, a San Francisco native, and grinder Rome Kirby, whose father, Jerry, competed in six America's Cup campaigns. Ashby, Team New Zealand's Aussie-born trimmer, has sailed with both Spithill and Barker. \"They probably both want to kill each other,\" Ashby said. In a figurative sense, the aggressive Spithill would like to do that in the pre-start maneuvers and round the first mark in first place, a bellwether to how the series might go.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Fans can watch from the shore or high-rise buildings. After starting parallel to the Golden Gate Bridge, the boats sail a short reach across the wind and then speed downwind past Alcatraz Island. The five-leg course ends just off Piers 27-29, home to America's Cup Park. TV shots will feature the Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges, the Coit Tower and the Transamerica Pyramid.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Larry Ellison: \u003c/strong>The co-founder and CEO of Oracle Corp. is an avid sailor who's spent an estimated $500 million during the last 10 years in pursuing, winning and now defending the silver trophy. Then again, his estimated net worth of $43 billion makes him one of the world's wealthiest individuals. People either love or hate Ellison, and there's been plenty of grumbling that his grand vision for a regatta with a dozen or more challengers fizzled, in part because of the economy and the expensive, dangerous boats. Ellison hasn't been seen publically and has been kept away from the press, except for one network TV interview. His presence is still felt, though. Two of his super yachts (i.e., super big and super expensive), the 288-foot Musashi and the 184-foot Asahi are moored at America's Cup Park. Also on techie-billionaire row are Athena, owned by Jim Clark (Netscape, Silicon Graphics) and Senses, owned by Ellison's rival, Larry Page of Google. Senses — moored between Ellison's yachts — stands out because of the red helicopter on the helipad on the stern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

An international jury issued the harshest penalties in the 162-year history of the America's Cup. Besides docking Oracle two points, wing trimmer Dirk de Ridder was booted from the regatta, along with two shore crew members. Grinder Matt Mitchell was banned from the first four races and the syndicate was fined $250,000. Although Spithill and syndicate CEO Russell Coutts were never implicated, the jury said it \"seems inconceivable that boat riggers initiated these changes without the knowledge of managers, or the direction of sailors, if not skippers.\" Spithill has been almost defiant, saying Oracle is a clear underdog. He also called on locals to support the crew. \"We want to keep the Cup here. These guys don't,\" he said at a news conference, referring to ETNZ skipper Dean Barker and trimmer Glenn Ashby. \"We're counting on San Franciscans to come out and support us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Basics:\u003c/strong> The 72-foot catamarans are powered by 131-foot wing sails that look and perform like jetliner wings, including flaps. At around 20 knots, the boats lift onto hydrofoils, their hulls completely out of the water to reduce drag and increase speed. It takes 11 crew to sail the demanding boats, and the sailors bound across the trampoline from one hull to another when the boats tack or gybe. The sailors wear crash helmets and life vests. After Artemis Racing's Andrew \"Bart\" Simpson was killed in a capsize on May 9, sailors began wearing body armor, knives, an air tank and breathing tube, self-lowering equipment and underwater locator devices. The five-leg course helps accommodate the schedule of two races a day to fit into a TV window. The course goes on a reach, downwind, upwind, downwind and a short reach to the finish. There will be two races a day on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and, if needed, next Friday, Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sept. 19. A single race is set for Sept. 21, if needed. The series would continue beyond that to accommodate Oracle's need to win 11 races. After Sunday, the races will be shown on NBC Sports Network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Goodonya, mates: \u003c/strong>There's a definite Down Under flavor to the America's Cup. Oracle skipper Spithill is Aussie, although his wife is from San Diego and they have a home there. Coutts won the first two of his four America's Cups with his native New Zealand. Of Emirates Team New Zealand's 15 sailors, 13 are Kiwis and the other two are Aussies, although Adam Beashel also has a New Zealand passport. Of the 11 men who will sail Oracle Team USA, four are Aussies and two are Kiwis. Only two are Americans, tactician John Kostecki, a San Francisco native, and grinder Rome Kirby, whose father, Jerry, competed in six America's Cup campaigns. Ashby, Team New Zealand's Aussie-born trimmer, has sailed with both Spithill and Barker. \"They probably both want to kill each other,\" Ashby said. In a figurative sense, the aggressive Spithill would like to do that in the pre-start maneuvers and round the first mark in first place, a bellwether to how the series might go.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
