The bigger issue was the action that followed immediately thereafter. Italy’s Luna Rossa Piranha won the race Sunday, and skipper Jimmy Spithill‘s hard-charging Oracle Team USA forced Team Korea into a critical penalty around the final gate, giving Spithill second place and the overall championship of the San Francisco regatta by a single point.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/State-Democrats-Pension-changes-coming-3816998.php\">State Democrats: Pension changes coming\u003c/a> (SF Chronicle)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Ten months after Gov.

Most of the heavily traveled two- to four-lane road between Interstate 80 and Highway 101, is only 1 to 2 feet above sea level. Caltrans says it has the lowest elevations of any Bay Area highway and some portions passing through marshes even dip well below that.

Critics call that predatory lending, and say those dealers want their customers to fail. So three different state lawmakers have authored three different bills that would regulate the industry. Used car dealer associations oppose the measures, as do some chambers of commerce.

Caltrans says it has the lowest elevations of any Bay Area highway and some portions passing through marshes even dip well below that.

The other dates on NBC are Aug. 26 and Oct. 7, so America's Cup organizers will fit events to those slots. Organizers are exploring having an ACWS stop on the Hudson River in New York, which would end on Aug. 26. If that's not possible, there would be ACWS stops in San Francisco ending with televised races on Aug. 26 and Oct. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's in New York or San Francisco, the regatta ending on Aug. 26 will feature Ben Ainslie's debut with Oracle Racing.

Delays because of too much wind, not enough wind or wildly shifting breezes can easily mess up broadcast schedules. Organizers believe they've largely avoided that problem by switching to catamarans that can sail in a wide range of conditions. Races have been shortened to better fit into TV time slots and will be sailed close to shore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worth said the final races in ACWS stops in Plymouth, England, and San Diego last fall proved that organizers can provide racing on schedule even in brisk conditions that sometimes had boats sailing on edge, with an occasional capsize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>he ACWS is being contested in 45-foot catamarans with high-tech wings as mainsails. The Louis Vuitton Cup and America's Cup match will be sailed in 72-foot cats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first NBC broadcast is scheduled for July 1, the final day of the America's Cup World Series in Newport, R.I. The other dates on NBC are Aug. 26 and Oct. 7, so America's Cup organizers will fit events to those slots. Organizers are exploring having an ACWS stop on the Hudson River in New York, which would end on Aug. 26. If that's not possible, there would be ACWS stops in San Francisco ending with televised races on Aug. 26 and Oct. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it's in New York or San Francisco, the regatta ending on Aug. 26 will feature Ben Ainslie's debut with Oracle Racing. The star British sailor, who will be trying for a fourth straight gold medal in the London Olympics, will join Oracle Racing to gain experience for what he hopes will be a title challenge with his own team in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each boat will carry an HD camera and 14 microphones. America's Cup officials have developed a system called LiveLine that will insert graphics into live shots from helicopters. Lines similar to the yellow first-down line used in football broadcasts will be used to show which boat is ahead, distance to the marks and course boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first America's Cup race to be televised live was Race 7 in Newport, R.I., in September 1983, when ESPN carried Australia II's victory over Dennis Conner's Liberty that ended the New York Yacht Club's 132-year winning streak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four years later, ESPN's late-night broadcasts from Australia were a hit in the United States as Conner won back the silver trophy in a four-race sweep of Kookaburra III.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oracle Racing's victory against Alinghi of Switzerland off Valencia, Spain, in February 2010 was available in the United States only on the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
