In the final weeks of 2013, the unease with the technology buses — they carry thousands of people to Google, Apple, Facebook and other tech firms — has gone beyond talk. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/20/eviction-protesters-oakland-san-francisco-target-silicon-valley-buses\" target=\"_blank\">Twice in the last few weeks\u003c/a>, anti-eviction protesters in the city have blocked the buses.

They ran into a hard line from a management that sought to limit labor costs and plow as much money as possible into upgrading the aging BART system. The clash led to two four-day strikes, in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/03/bart-strike-update\" target=\"_blank\">July\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/18/bart-strike-update-day-1\" target=\"_blank\">October\u003c/a>, that forced BART's 200,000 or so weekday riders to find alternative transit and sparked widespread public anger at union workers.

Robberies committed with firearms are up 27 percent. A federal judge overseeing a civil rights settlement with the city and the Police Department installed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/05/judge-appoints-director-to-oversee-oakland-police/\" target=\"_blank\">a new outside \"compliance director\"\u003c/a> early this year. Shortly afterward, Police Chief Howard Jordan quit (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/09/96633/\" target=\"_blank\">for medical reasons, he insisted\u003c/a>). Outside consultant William Bratton issued a report finding that the department was poorly organized and ineffective at dealing with some of the most common crimes, with just one part-time investigator assigned to handle a backlog of 10,000 burglary cases. Just as that report came out, Jordan \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/10/96792/\" target=\"_blank\">was replaced by not one, but two interim chiefs\u003c/a>. The second of those stand-in leaders, Sean Whent, has overseen the implementation of new programs designed to build bridges to distrustful residents while more efficiently dealing with violent crime. It's too early to say what the long-term outcome of those changes will be, but here's something to note: The city suffered through a resurgence of deadly violence in 2012, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\" target=\"_blank\">131 homicides citywide\u003c/a>. With just a few days to go in 2013, Oakland has recorded 87 homicides for the year. That toll still gives Oakland one of the highest homicide rates in the United States, but it's a dramatic improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_122144\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/27/kqed-news-fix-top-news-stories-for-2013/rs6229_img_5691-lpr/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-122144\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-122144\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/12/RS6229_IMG_5691-lpr-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"The new Bay Bridge eastern span, left, and the old span, right.

The agency delivered on its promise, years later than promised and at a price, $6.4 billion, that was several times the original estimate. However, the completion of the new eastern span, a self-anchored suspension bridge with a gleaming white tower, was not accomplished without some tense moments. When it came time to fasten two massive seismic stabilizers on the suspension span last March, the huge threaded rods that were supposed to hold them in place \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/27/bay-bridge-bolts-snap-repairs-could-cost-up-to-5-million/\" target=\"_blank\">snapped\u003c/a>.

But when repair work went better than expected and officials expressed concern about the risks of keeping the old span open, the Labor Day plan was reinstated. The new bridge, complete with traffic shoulders and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-admin/post.php?post=109958&action=edit\" target=\"_blank\">a beautiful bike path\u003c/a>, opened late Labor Day evening.

But villain/hero categorization aside, the 34th America's Cup sailed on the bay over the summer is an event to be remembered. The regatta was marked by tragedy when \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/09/death-in-the-americas-cup-drowned-sailors-team-held-capsize-drill-last-fall/\" target=\"_blank\">British sailor Andrew \"Bart\" Simpson, part of the Swedish-sponsored Artemis Racing team, was killed\u003c/a> in a May training accident.

The series of races among Artemis and two other challengers for the Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand and Italy's Luna Rossa, were a nonevent, with the Kiwis easily winning the right to face the Oracle team. Before the finals could start,\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/03/oracle-americas-cup-penalty/\" target=\"_blank\"> an international jury imposed severe penalties against Oracle\u003c/a> for cheating in an earlier series of races.

Then \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/25/americas-cup-live/\" target=\"_blank\">this happened\u003c/a>— an incredible string of victories that allowed Ellison's Oracle team to retain the Cup.

In San Francisco, where records go back to 1850, just 5.59 inches of rain has fallen this year. That compares to the 30-year average recorded between 1980 and 2010 of 23.06 inches and the current calendar-year low-rainfall record of 8.73 inches, set in 1976. Other signs we're very, very dry: The official U.S. Drought Monitor categorizes \u003ca href=\"http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Home/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA\" target=\"_blank\">94 percent of the state as in moderate to extreme drought\u003c/a>, and the California-Nevada River Forecast Center observes that Folsom Lake, the big reservoir just east of Sacramento, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=626426660749916&set=a.204261386299781.49442.156316434427610&type=1&theater\" target=\"_blank\">has fallen below 200,000 acre feet\u003c/a> of storage for just the seventh time since it was created in the 1950s. Any serious California rain watcher will point out that what really matters for us is our seasonal precipitation — and by convention, our rain year runs from July 1 to June 30 to better reflect how much rain and snow comes our way during each wet season, which usually starts in October and ends by early May. We still have our historically wettest months ahead of us, January and February, so there's hope we'll see storms arrive to help replenish reservoirs and bulk up the mountain snowpack.

They ran into a hard line from a management that sought to limit labor costs and plow as much money as possible into upgrading the aging BART system.

Robberies committed with firearms are up 27 percent. A federal judge overseeing a civil rights settlement with the city and the Police Department installed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/05/judge-appoints-director-to-oversee-oakland-police/\" target=\"_blank\">a new outside \"compliance director\"\u003c/a> early this year. Shortly afterward, Police Chief Howard Jordan quit (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/09/96633/\" target=\"_blank\">for medical reasons, he insisted\u003c/a>). Outside consultant William Bratton issued a report finding that the department was poorly organized and ineffective at dealing with some of the most common crimes, with just one part-time investigator assigned to handle a backlog of 10,000 burglary cases. Just as that report came out, Jordan \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/10/96792/\" target=\"_blank\">was replaced by not one, but two interim chiefs\u003c/a>. The second of those stand-in leaders, Sean Whent, has overseen the implementation of new programs designed to build bridges to distrustful residents while more efficiently dealing with violent crime. It's too early to say what the long-term outcome of those changes will be, but here's something to note: The city suffered through a resurgence of deadly violence in 2012, with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/12/oaklands-other-homicide-crisis-unsolved-cases/\" target=\"_blank\">131 homicides citywide\u003c/a>.

The agency delivered on its promise, years later than promised and at a price, $6.4 billion, that was several times the original estimate. However, the completion of the new eastern span, a self-anchored suspension bridge with a gleaming white tower, was not accomplished without some tense moments. When it came time to fasten two massive seismic stabilizers on the suspension span last March, the huge threaded rods that were supposed to hold them in place \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/27/bay-bridge-bolts-snap-repairs-could-cost-up-to-5-million/\" target=\"_blank\">snapped\u003c/a>.

But when repair work went better than expected and officials expressed concern about the risks of keeping the old span open, the Labor Day plan was reinstated. The new bridge, complete with traffic shoulders and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-admin/post.php?post=109958&action=edit\" target=\"_blank\">a beautiful bike path\u003c/a>, opened late Labor Day evening.

But villain/hero categorization aside, the 34th America's Cup sailed on the bay over the summer is an event to be remembered. The regatta was marked by tragedy when \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/09/death-in-the-americas-cup-drowned-sailors-team-held-capsize-drill-last-fall/\" target=\"_blank\">British sailor Andrew \"Bart\" Simpson, part of the Swedish-sponsored Artemis Racing team, was killed\u003c/a> in a May training accident.

The series of races among Artemis and two other challengers for the Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand and Italy's Luna Rossa, were a nonevent, with the Kiwis easily winning the right to face the Oracle team. Before the finals could start,\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/03/oracle-americas-cup-penalty/\" target=\"_blank\"> an international jury imposed severe penalties against Oracle\u003c/a> for cheating in an earlier series of races.

Then \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/09/25/americas-cup-live/\" target=\"_blank\">this happened\u003c/a>— an incredible string of victories that allowed Ellison's Oracle team to retain the Cup.

In San Francisco, where records go back to 1850, just 5.59 inches of rain has fallen this year. That compares to the 30-year average recorded between 1980 and 2010 of 23.06 inches and the current calendar-year low-rainfall record of 8.73 inches, set in 1976. Other signs we're very, very dry: The official U.S. Drought Monitor categorizes \u003ca href=\"http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Home/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA\" target=\"_blank\">94 percent of the state as in moderate to extreme drought\u003c/a>, and the California-Nevada River Forecast Center observes that Folsom Lake, the big reservoir just east of Sacramento, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=626426660749916&set=a.204261386299781.49442.156316434427610&type=1&theater\" target=\"_blank\">has fallen below 200,000 acre feet\u003c/a> of storage for just the seventh time since it was created in the 1950s. Any serious California rain watcher will point out that what really matters for us is our seasonal precipitation — and by convention, our rain year runs from July 1 to June 30 to better reflect how much rain and snow comes our way during each wet season, which usually starts in October and ends by early May.

Most of the matches between challenger and defender have been lopsided affairs short on close finishes and telegenic appeal. But this Cup match is now the closest in 30 years. In September 1983, Australia II and Liberty faced off in another winner-take-all race off Newport, R.I., and the Australians came from behind to end the 132-year American winning streak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Australians rallied from 3-1 down to win that series, 4-3, but no America’s Cup team and few teams in any major sporting event have charged back from a deficit as big as the one that Oracle was facing. It should be noted that no previous Cup match has been designed to go on this long. Most modern Cups have been best-of-seven or best-of-nine series, or shorter. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/25/sports/after-comeback-for-the-ages-a-last-dash-for-americas-cup.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11127139\" target=\"_blank\">\u003c!--more-->Comments\u003c/a> from distressed Kiwis on the New Zealand Herald site also make for interesting reading.

They copied a lot the techniques the Kiwis were using against them, but most of all they found some speed upwind on that third leg of the course. These boats ought to be understood as prototypes. Three years ago they were invented from a blank sheet of paper. No one had ever worked with hard wings on sailoats at this scale before, no one had ever poured development money into hydrofoils before; they existed but they hadn’t been developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: How much of this victory was due to sailing tactics and how much due to the design of the boat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston\u003c/strong>: I think it’s mostly in the design of the boat, probably in the shape of the foils they were using, or the way they were using their foils. It was spectacular today, yesterday too, to see that they were foiling upwind almost all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're either going upwind, downwind, or across the wind. Upwind is when you have to do the tacks, or zigzags as I like to call them. That was a direction that nobody had every hydrofoiled a sailboat before until about three weeks ago. Holy moley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: How devastating is this loss for New Zealand?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston\u003c/strong>: It is devastating. The loss in 2003 was a national embarrassment; the masts broke in one race, the boat started filling up with water in one race, and they were on TV bailing it out with a blue potty bucket. How bad could it get? This was supposed to exorcise the demons of 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: There have been suggestions that the team could lose funding over this. Was Team New Zealand fighting for its life?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston\u003c/strong>: It definitely was and it seems unlikely to everybody I’ve talked to that the government of New Zealand would again seed them with $30 million. But I was talking to one of their shore-team people, and he was saying to me that because they made it so far and because the event turned out to be such a beautiful and exciting thing, maybe just maybe Team New Zealand will survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Earlier\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 3\u003c/strong>: At Gate 3, Oracle has a huge lead.

At this point, an air of inevitability is hanging over the Bay, and it feels like nothing short of a cannonball across the Oracle bow is going to prevent it from successfully defending its title.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's tempting to make an analogy here to the 2004 Red Sox, another squad that was down to the equivalent of match point, when they faced off against the Yankees in the American League Championship Series. The Sox were down 3-0, a deficit that no major league team had overcome in any playoff, ever. The team then reeled off four straight and went on to win the World Series for the first time since 1918.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might be a stretch, though, to put Oracle in the role of plucky, beloved underdog. To much of the world, \u003cem>they're\u003c/em> the Yankees -- the literal Yankees, owned by an American billionaire with an outsize and off-putting personality. They were also caught cheating.

Most of the matches between challenger and defender have been lopsided affairs short on close finishes and telegenic appeal. But this Cup match is now the closest in 30 years. In September 1983, Australia II and Liberty faced off in another winner-take-all race off Newport, R.I., and the Australians came from behind to end the 132-year American winning streak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Australians rallied from 3-1 down to win that series, 4-3, but no America’s Cup team and few teams in any major sporting event have charged back from a deficit as big as the one that Oracle was facing. It should be noted that no previous Cup match has been designed to go on this long. Most modern Cups have been best-of-seven or best-of-nine series, or shorter. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/25/sports/after-comeback-for-the-ages-a-last-dash-for-americas-cup.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=11127139\" target=\"_blank\">\u003c!--more-->Comments\u003c/a> from distressed Kiwis on the New Zealand Herald site also make for interesting reading.

They copied a lot the techniques the Kiwis were using against them, but most of all they found some speed upwind on that third leg of the course. These boats ought to be understood as prototypes. Three years ago they were invented from a blank sheet of paper. No one had ever worked with hard wings on sailoats at this scale before, no one had ever poured development money into hydrofoils before; they existed but they hadn’t been developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: How much of this victory was due to sailing tactics and how much due to the design of the boat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Livingston\u003c/strong>: I think it’s mostly in the design of the boat, probably in the shape of the foils they were using, or the way they were using their foils. It was spectacular today, yesterday too, to see that they were foiling upwind almost all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're either going upwind, downwind, or across the wind. Upwind is when you have to do the tacks, or zigzags as I like to call them. That was a direction that nobody had every hydrofoiled a sailboat before until about three weeks ago.

The loss in 2003 was a national embarrassment; the masts broke in one race, the boat started filling up with water in one race, and they were on TV bailing it out with a blue potty bucket. How bad could it get? This was supposed to exorcise the demons of 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: There have been suggestions that the team could lose funding over this.

The team then reeled off four straight and went on to win the World Series for the first time since 1918.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might be a stretch, though, to put Oracle in the role of plucky, beloved underdog.

The 72-foot catamarans touched, and Oracle tactician Ben Ainslie yelled at the Kiwis to tack away. They collided again, this time harder, with Ainslie gesturing angrily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Team New Zealand sat dead in the water to clear the penalties as Oracle pulled away.
