Regatta Director Iain Murray put today’s forecast in stark terms at his morning briefing. “This is the strongest current day we’ve had all summer. This is getting up towards the day that ORACLE TEAM USA had its difficulty last October,” said Murray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murray plans to send the race committee boat, Regardless, to the racecourse to monitor the wind conditions. After the dock-out show, around 1130, he’ll make a decision whether to send the crews to the racecourse or keep them moored at the America’s Cup Park, at Piers 27/29.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The event's wind limit fluctuates on a day-to-day basis depending on tidal conditions and associated currents. The stronger the tidal flow, the lower the wind speed the boats are allowed to sail in. Today's wind limits have been announced as 20.1 knots for Race 11 (scheduled at 1:15 p.m. PDT/8:15 a.m. Wednesday New Zealand Standard Time) and 20.3 knots for Race 12 (2:15 p.m./9:15 a.m. Wednesday NZST).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->***\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This could be the last day of the America's Cup finals — if Emirates Team New Zealand manages to win Races 11 and 12.

Regatta Director Iain Murray put today’s forecast in stark terms at his morning briefing. “This is the strongest current day we’ve had all summer. This is getting up towards the day that ORACLE TEAM USA had its difficulty last October,” said Murray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murray plans to send the race committee boat, Regardless, to the racecourse to monitor the wind conditions. After the dock-out show, around 1130, he’ll make a decision whether to send the crews to the racecourse or keep them moored at the America’s Cup Park, at Piers 27/29.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The event's wind limit fluctuates on a day-to-day basis depending on tidal conditions and associated currents.

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. He also talked about how the America's Cup has become a national event in his home country and the importance of New Zealand's Cup campaign in promoting tourism and business there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110595434\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

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. He also talked about how the America's Cup has become a national event in his home country and the importance of New Zealand's Cup campaign in promoting tourism and business there. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110595434\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In golf Saturday is often referred to as moving day and I think after today we’ll have a very good insight as to what’s going to happen.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>The Ellison factor:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/americascup/2013/09/10/kiwis-enjoying-stay-in-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">SFGate's Tom FitzGerald reports\u003c/a> that New Zealanders visiting the city for the finals are having a great time here. But there's something they don't quite get about the locals:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Chatting with New Zealand fans at their team headquarters after the race, many were surprised at the lack of national rooting interest in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Melickan of Auckland flew in to catch a few races with his mates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was having breakfast this morning and a woman leaned over and said, ‘I hope you guys win,’ ” said Melickan, a self-described “ol’ yachtie” from way back. “I’m thinking, ‘What the heck is happening here? Why aren’t they rooting for the home team?’ I think it’s Larry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think you’re right, Dave. Whichever way you cut your jib, Larry Ellison’s substantial hubris hangs over the America’s Cup proceedings like a shroud. Which is too bad. The man invested hundreds of millions of dollars to improve the sport of sailing, only to suffer embarrassment and disdain on his home turf.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2013/09/11/how-do-these-boats-sail-faster-than-the-wind/\" target=\"_blank\">How do they do that?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> A few weeks ago, we wondered aloud in the newsroom how New Zealand's 72-foot catamaran had topped 50 mph when the wind on the bay at the time was about 18 mph. What are the physics involved? Here's the answer, by way of reporter Mike Osborne for KQED Science: \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2013/09/11/how-do-these-boats-sail-faster-than-the-wind/\" target=\"_blank\">How Do These Boats Sail Faster Than the Wind?\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

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.

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>",
