Coming into the weekend's races, a couple of hard truths seemed to have been established in the America's Cup finals.

Oracle Team USA raced past the Kiwis and went on to score an easy victory. The American-backed boat was still down 6-0 because of its now-infamous two-race penalty, but its improved performance shifted the momentum away from New Zealand—especially after the second race of the day was canceled with the Kiwis having established another lead. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, the new story line gained some credence as Oracle thrashed the New Zealand boat on the upwind leg and won the rescheduled Race 9 easily Suddenly things were moving against the Kiwis. With the wind pushing up against the event's safety limit, Race 10 was delayed past its scheduled 2:15 p.m. PDT start time. Then race officials gave the go ahead for the start. The San Francisco Chronicle's Tom FitzGerald \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/americascup/2013/09/15/oracle-team-usa-has-turned-the-tables-on-the-upwind-leg-it-rolls-to-convincing-win-in-race-9/\" target=\"_blank\">described\u003c/a> what happened next as \"spine-tingling.\" Here's how the official America's Cup live blog summarized the action: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Kiwis held the lead early in the race, but the defender made a huge charge on the upwind leg and rounded the windward gate with a 1 second advantage.

He's a reporter for Radio New Zealand who's enough of a sailing fan that he flew up to San Francisco on his own dime to take in the experience of the Cup finals. An added bonus for him and the thousands of other Kiwis who have traveled north for the event: the New Zealand team leads Cup defender Oracle Team USA six wins to two (6-0 in points because of the two-race penalty levied against Oracle). The tendency among rather casual fans like me has been to say you can pack up the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nyyc.org/about/history-heritage/962-auld-mug-s-first-appearance-in-newport-was-its-farewell\" target=\"_blank\">Auld Mug\u003c/a> and get it ready for its trip to Auckland. The arithmetic tells you that in the first-to-nine-wins format, New Zealand needs three more victories to take the Cup; even after winning in Race 8 on Saturday, Oracle still needs nine victories to prevail. In fact, the two crews have been so skillful that it's easy to forget the risks inherent in sailing their giant 72-foot catamarans. As Niall said on Friday, 24 hours before New Zealand saw its boat heel over in the middle of Race 8, things with these boats can go very wrong very suddenly: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>They're big spectacular boats. You watch them up on the foils and you hold your breath as they come back into the water. There's always the risk of a collision. You know, the old monohulls you might chip a bit out of the back of the boat if they touch, but if these things completely unintentionally collide, who knows what could happen? Team New Zealand doesn't really have a second boat ready to go; Oracle does. Team New Zealand would have to cobble together equipment to get a second boat on the water, so there's a lot that could go wrong.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the rest of my conversation with Niall. I started by asking him about one of the striking features of the America's Cup finals so far: the fact New Zealand seemed to be consistently better heading upwind than Oracle Team USA.

Lincecum is the highest paid of that trio with a $22 million salary. Starting about 30 to 35 games a year, Lincecum makes more for every appearance than the Giants have agreed to pay their undercompensated staffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susana Blanco, who oversaw the investigation for the Labor Department, said that when it comes to the undercompensated workers, the Giants are in clear violation of federal regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employees should typically be making $7.25 an hour based on the regulations, and these employees we determined were making approximately $4 -- I think we determined it was $4.25 an hour,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation also found video operators and some administrative workers weren’t getting proper pay for their jobs. In all, the Giants paid the 74 employees about a quarter-million dollars in back wages, and then another quarter million in damages, which is an added punishment against the employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants did not return calls before this posted, but Blanco said the organization worked openly with the department throughout the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Labor is now working with Major League Baseball to make sure wage issues aren't systemwide.

(Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Isabel Angell\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants have paid $545,000 in back wages and damages to 74 employees. That’s after a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found some workers in the Giants' clubhouse and elsewhere in the organization were making far below the federal minimum wage of $7.25. The department said that some clubhouse attendants were getting paid $55 a day—and working 12 to 15 hours a shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a little context, three Giants players — starting pitchers Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Barry Zito — are all reportedly paid $20 million or more a year. Lincecum is the highest paid of that trio with a $22 million salary. Starting about 30 to 35 games a year, Lincecum makes more for every appearance than the Giants have agreed to pay their undercompensated staffers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susana Blanco, who oversaw the investigation for the Labor Department, said that when it comes to the undercompensated workers, the Giants are in clear violation of federal regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employees should typically be making $7.25 an hour based on the regulations, and these employees we determined were making approximately $4 -- I think we determined it was $4.25 an hour,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In all, the Giants paid the 74 employees about a quarter-million dollars in back wages, and then another quarter million in damages, which is an added punishment against the employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants did not return calls before this posted, but Blanco said the organization worked openly with the department throughout the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Labor is now working with Major League Baseball to make sure wage issues aren't systemwide. At more than $136 million, the Giants have the sixth-highest overall payroll in the league.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
