Farmers may need to return government payments
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 49
Farmers who accepted the first advanced Counter-Cyclical Payment (CCP) last fall for the 2003 crop may need to give it back, given the increase in corn, soybean and wheat prices. The CCP advance for corn was $0.077 per bushel; for wheat it was $0.031. Prices for soybeans were high enough that no advanced CCP was made. "Producers will be receiving a letter from the Farm Service Agency (FSA) alerting them to the repayment issue," said Gary Hachfeld, regional educator with the University of Minnesota Extension Service. Repayment Option 1 The refund policy offers two options for repayment. Option 1 allows producers to essentially do nothing, and the repayment will be subtracted from their 2004 final Direct Payment (DP) and/or the 2005 crop DP to be made in fall 2004. The producer will not have to write a check to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and there will be no interest charge on the repayment amount. A repayment statement will be issued showing the producer has satisfied the obligation. Option 1 is the default option and the producer does not need to take any action for the repayment to be made automatically. Under Option 1, the producer will have more than enough DP funds to cover the cost of the repayment. The total DP for corn is $0.28 per bushel; and for wheat the amount is $0.52 per bushel. The 2004 final DP payment is half that, and the advance DP for 2005 is also half that amount. Together, the DP amount is well above the CCP advances that may need to be refunded to FSA. To calculate the repayment amount, multiply the DP/CCP contract acres by the DP/CCP yield times .85 times the CCP advance amount. Repayment Option 2 Producers have a second choice for repayment. Under Option 2, the producer will be subject to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). The producer will be sent an initial notification of the repayment obligation followed by a first demand letter 30 days later. At that time, producers can settle the obligation by simply writing a check to CCC. If payment is not made within the 30 day period following the first notification, a second demand letter will be sent and at that time interest will begin accruing. In order for a producer to select Option 2, they will need to notify their local FSA office by June 15, 2004. Exact overpayment amounts won't be known until the end of the commodity marketing period. Those periods are July 2004 for wheat and October for 2004 for corn and sorghum. Once the end of the marketing year arrives, the final repayment amount will be calculated. Producers will then need to make the repayment, if warranted. If producers did not elect to take the 2003 crop advanced CCP, they will not receive the FSA letter and won't have to make a repayment. If you have questions, contact your local FSA office.

Halloween 2 is a Classic, haha.
I watched DRAG ME TO HELL again, and i still love it.
Halloween 2 is a Classic, haha.
I watched DRAG ME TO HELL again, and i still love it.
Last movie I saw was Law abiding Citizen...Boy was that awsome!!! Here in Puerto Rico we need someone like that, since they just let some serial rapists go, even when they were caught red handed just because some judge got paid too much...
Oldboy(japan)-absolutely amazing! terrifying!
The Host(also from japan)-the best modern monster movies ive ever seen. the character development and the depth of the plot were so intense!
Old Boy and the host are both Korean films
Miss March. It had its moments. I'm a big fan of the sketchy comedy crew The Whitest Kids You Know, and this was made by two of them, so I'm probably biased. Nothing to write home about, but it made me laugh out loud a few times.
Over the past few days I watched Shawshank Redemption and Insomnia. Both movies have been on my movie "radar" for years, and for some reason I was in the mood for them.
Shawshank was fantastic! Way better than I thought it would be. It had a fantastic, perfect ending too, which I loved. I don't usually enjoy Tim Robbins; I don't know why, but I thought he was flawless in this film. And what can I say about Uncle Morgan? He is a timeless classic...so good.
Insomnia was just so-so. I am a HUGE Pacino fan. HUGE! But the stuff I've seen him in lately is just not good. Insomnia was OK I guess, but Pacino's "tired" act was so ridiculous. He looked more stoned than tired to me. Still a good movie for a one-time viewing though.
I just got through watching the original Blob from 1958 (?). It was a little corny, but I liked it.
I recently got a DVD collection of fifteen "overlooked" horror movies for five dollars. I can't wait to start digging into that one. Some of the titles look pretty wacky (The Undertaker and his Pals, Fangs of the Living Dead), but I can't say that's ever stopped me. I just love B-grade horror!!!

I have paid for Bellsouth's inside wiring maintenance plan since 2001. One of my phone jacks was not working, so I contacted them via internet about needing service. Their answer? Go to the box outside and see if all the wires are connected! Duh! I looked and cannot tell--I'm just a dumb female anyway!! When I contacted them again--same answer.
They never even read the whole email and I am still a jack short.

I was contacted by Bell South in Feb., 2006. The program was they were going to give me DSL, and discounts on my bill, and I had to sign a 3 year agreement. My bill would go from $99.00 to $74.95. They were supposed to send all the equipment for the DSL connection. But, I could not get the discounts unless I agreed to the DSL.
In March of 2006, I called and wanted to know where the equipment was to get started, because they had not sent anything. After several rounds, the supervisor came back to me and said they don't have DSL in my area, and they couldn't send the equipment. I told the supervisor to cancel the whole deal. After another round of lies from Bell South in August of 2006, I decided to change over to another phone service in Jan. of 2007. When I did that, they came back and said I owed them for the 3 year agreement that was supposed to be cancelled. They turned it over to a collection agency, the collection agency turned me in to the credit bureau, and now my credit is ruined. Bell South/ATT is a lying organization that would do anything for business. They even have the government in my state under their thumb.

Although it has been on Mozilla's FTP for a day or two, it is out for full-on public release this morning. Release notes: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/6.0/releas...
They've implemented a ton of good things and the full list of fixes is huge! From just testing this morning, I really find the Scratchpad pretty useful. Any other devs plan on using this? |
hkBattousai User |
There are 1415 bug fixes listed. This amount of work indeed deserves an increment in the major version number. |

Personally I prefer Google's developer toolbar to Firebug and all other FF. It has ability to debug extensions and userscripts and much more stable. |

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
- Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, October 2003
Comments, questions and tips
Made this recipe and had a problem getting anything like the syrupy consistency described - even extending the cooking time. I then read through the comments and picked up on the butter as possibly being an issue, so I reheated the mixture and carefully spooned the butter off the top. It's in the balance at the moment but hoping that will now give me a thick sticky mixture.
Why didn't I read the comments beforehand?
I made this last night. This morning, it looks absolutely disgusting. It has a layer of solidified fat on top and more distributed throughout the jar. I tried stirring and then sampled a bit. Now I feel ill and can't get rid of the taste. I think I'm going to have to bury the contents of the jars in the garden as the smell is too bad to put it in the bin. I've had some kitchen disasters in my time but really...this is the worst!
Absolutely gorgeous. Used just a knob of butter and oil and didn't have any problems with solidified fat. Ended up taking two jars to France on our family holiday with friends and it was all gone by the end of week one and made a delicious accompaniments to cold meats and cheese at lunch. Will be making it again - and have had requests !

Seeking all sports nuts: Coveroo phone cases
If you're like me, you might have been on a fruitless hunt for a customized iPhone case that touts your beloved sports team, only to discover nobody seems to have any. Is it critical for me to own an iPhone case themed after the New York Jets? Hardly, but I'm a superstitious fellow and I like my digital trinkets and amulets.
Coveroo, which makes custom cases for iPhones, BlackBerries, iPods, iPads, and many other devices, doesn't actually have an NFL teams license, although it does have a license for NFL players. They have NBA and MLB licenses, … Read more

The 2013 Formula 1 season kicked off in Melbourne on 15 March, ending a winter's worth of speculation about which team has found the biggest loophole in the annual update of the rulebook.
For the past several decades those who write the regulations for the world's most popular form of motorsport and those who actually do the racing have engaged in an elaborate dance to find out how far the rules can be stretched and prodded. The result is some of the most creative engineering in the world of racing. Continue reading
Remember Pierce Brosnan's remote-controlled BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies? A group of Russian tinkerers do. But rather than gutting a Bimmer and snagging a phone from Q Branch, they've hacked together a driverless car using nothing more than a dilapidated Opel Vectra and an iPad.
The crew hailing from Tula Oblast installed a range of actuators, controllers and electronics into the Opel, along with a new brake actuator, steering motor, accelerator controller and gear shift for the transmission. All of it connects wirelessly to an iPad, and according to the developers, this setup can be duplicated on any car with an in-line automatic transmission shift gate. Continue reading

Beeps, chimes, bongs, these are the sounds of our modern world. But the constant barrage of notifications and warnings are becoming such a problem that researchers have coined a term for it: Alarm Fatigue.

Now, the US Food and Drug Administration, doctors and even car manufacturers are looking into ways to solve the problem.
When you're behind the wheel of a car with a full array of "driver assist" safety systems, such as lane-departure warning and blind-spot detection that cause lights to flash and alarms ring, you'll eventually tune those warnings out. Continue reading
As the automotive industry powers its way into the final stretch ahead of next month's Geneva Motor Show, new information on soon to be released car models keeps sliding into view. On 20 February, McLaren Automotive released details regarding the unique powertrain of its fore coming McLaren P1, which puts current F1 technology into its supercar.
Earlier this year, Wired.co.uk attended an event at the Royal Academy of Engineering at which big names from the automotive industry discussed the future of the car, from the potential of electric engines to the growing popularity of car sharing models. McLaren's research director Dick Glover highlighted the importance that Formula One plays in the development of new technologies for road-going cars -- far from being a pointless pursuit of speed, the technologies that appear on F1 cars hint to the future of standard road going vehicles, be it in the development of new materials, engines or hybrid systems. He pointed to the carbon fibre composite monocoque that first appeared on the McLaren MP4/1 F1 car, and the revolutionary effect its the material's strength and low weight had on the sport and subsequent sports car designs.

[1] and FAA[2] |
San Francisco International Airport (IATA: SFO, ICAO: KSFO, FAA LID: SFO) is an international airport located 13 miles (21 km) south of downtown San Francisco, California, near Millbrae and San Bruno in unincorporated San Mateo County.[3] It has flights to points throughout North America and is a major gateway to Europe and Asia.
SFO is the largest airport in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the second busiest in California, after Los Angeles International Airport. In 2009 it was the tenth busiest in the United States[4] and the twentieth largest airport in the world[5] by passenger count. It is the fifth largest hub of United Airlines. It also serves as Virgin America's principal base of operations.[6] It is the sole maintenance hub of United Airlines, and houses the Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum.
SFO is owned and policed by the City and County of San Francisco, but is located in and entirely surrounded by adjacent San Mateo County. Between 1999 and 2004, the San Francisco Airport Commission operated city-owned SFO Enterprises, Inc., to oversee its business purchases and operations of ventures such as operating Honduran airports.[7][8][9][10]
The airport opened on May 7, 1927[11] on 150 acres (61 ha) of cow pasture. The land was leased from Ogden L. Mills who had leased it from his grandfather Darius O. Mills. It was named Mills Field Municipal Airport until 1931, when it became San Francisco Municipal Airport. "Municipal" was replaced by "International" in 1955.
United Airlines used Mills Field as well as the Oakland Municipal Airport starting in the 1930s.[12] The March 1939 Official Aviation Guide shows 18 airline departures on weekdays— seventeen United and one TWA. The aerial view c. 1940 looks west along the runway that is now 28R; the seaplane harbor at right is still recognizable north of the airport. Earlier aerial looking NW 1943 vertical aerial (enlargeable)
After the war United Airlines used the Pan Am terminal 37°38′05″N 122°23′24″W / 37.6347°N 122.39°W for its DC-6 flights to Hawaii starting in 1947. SFO is now one of five United Airlines hubs and their largest maintenance facility.
In 1954 the airport's Central Passenger Terminal opened.[13] (It was heavily rebuilt into the international terminal c. 1984, then re-rebuilt into present Terminal 2.) The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 71 scheduled weekday departures on United (plus ten flights a week to Honolulu), 22 on Western, 19 on Southwest, 12 on TWA, 7 American and 3 PSA. Pan American had 21 departures a week, Japan Air had 5 and QANTAS had 5. Jet flights at SFO began in March 1959, with TWA 707-131s; United built a large maintenance facility at San Francisco for its new Douglas DC-8s. In July 1959 the first jetway bridge was installed, one of the first in the United States.
The first international nonstops were ANA/BCPA DC-4s to Vancouver in 1946-47; the first nonstops to the East Coast were United DC-7s in 1954. TWA's L1649 nonstops to Europe started in 1957 and Pan Am tried to fly 707-320s nonstop Tokyo to SFO starting 1960-61 (the westward nonstops had to await the 707-320B).
The airport closed following the Loma Prieta earthquake on October 17, 1989, reopening the following morning.[14] It suffered some damage to runways.
Operations, expansion, retreat, and recovery[edit]
In 1989 a master plan and Environmental Impact Report were prepared to guide development over the next two decades.[15][verification needed] During the boom of the 1990s and the dot-com boom SFO became the sixth busiest airport in the world, but since 2001, when the boom ended, SFO has fallen out of the top twenty.[5]
SFO has expanded through the decades. A $1 billion international terminal opened in December 2000, replacing Terminal 2.[13] This terminal has an aviation library and museum.[16] SFO's long-running program of cultural exhibits, now called the San Francisco Airport Museums, won unprecedented accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums in 1999.[17]
A long-planned extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system to the airport opened on June 22, 2003, allowing passengers to board trains at the international terminal to San Francisco or the East Bay.[18] In 2003, the AirTrain shuttle system opened, transporting passengers between terminals, parking lots, the SFO BART station, and the rental car center on small automatic trains.
SFO experiences delays (known as flow control) in overcast weather when only two of the airport's four runways can be used at a time because the centerlines of the parallel runways are only 750 feet (230 m) apart. Airport planners have floated proposals to extend the airport's runways into San Francisco Bay to accommodate arrivals and departures during low visibility. To expand into the bay the airport would be required by law to restore bay land elsewhere in the Bay Area to offset the fill. Such proposals have met resistance from environmental groups, fearing damage to the habitat of animals near the airport, recreational degradation (such as windsurfing) and bay water quality. Such delays (among other reasons) caused some airlines, especially low-cost carriers, to shift service to Oakland and San Jose.[citation needed]
Since the mid-2000s recovery at SFO has been evident. SFO has become the base of operations for start-up airline Virgin America, with service to over 15 destinations. In June 2010 Swiss International Airlines began service from San Francisco to Zurich Airport; in July 2012 United Airlines announced resumption of flights to Taipei and Paris. In April 2013 Scandinavian Airlines plans to launch a new non-stop route to Copenhagen. In August 2012 China Eastern Airlines announced non-stop service to Shanghai starting in 2013. SFO set a record of 41 million passengers in 2011, and surpassed it with 44.5 million in 2012.[19]
The FAA has warned that the airport's control tower would be unable to withstand a major earthquake and has requested that it be replaced. On July 9, 2012 ground was broken for the airport's new air traffic control tower. The new tower, between terminals 1 and 2, is to be shaped like a torch and be completed in fall 2015.[20]
SFO was one of several US airports which operated the Registered Traveler program from April 2007 until funding ended in June 2009, which had allowed travelers to pass through security checkpoints quickly.[21][22] Baggage and passenger screening is operated by Covenant Aviation Security, a TSA contractor, nicknamed "Team SFO." SFO was the first airport in the United States to integrate in-line baggage screening into its baggage-handling system and has been a model for other airports in the post-9/11 era.[17]
On October 4, 2007 an Airbus A380 jumbo jet made its first visit to the airport.[23]
On July 14, 2008 SFO was voted Best International Airport in North America for 2008 in the World Airports Survey by Skytrax.[24] The following year on June 9, Skytrax announced SFO as the second-best International Airport in North America in the 2009 World Airports Survey, losing to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.[25]
In summer 2011, Lufthansa and Air France operated the Airbus A380 at SFO seasonally, the first A380 scheduled service to the airport.[26][27] As of 2013, Lufthansa operates the A380 seasonally.[28] In early 2013, Emirates was considering flying the A380 to SFO[29] when they receive lighter versions of the jumbo jet with more range.[citation needed] Singapore Airlines flies the A380 seasonally on the Singapore-Hong Kong-SFO route, using a Boeing 777-300ER when not operating the A380.[30]
Aircraft noise abatement[edit]
SFO was one of the first airports to implement a Fly Quiet Program which grades individual air carriers on their performance on noise abatement procedures while flying in and out of SFO. The Jon C. Long Fly Quiet Program was started by the Aircraft Noise Abatement Office to encourage individual airlines to operate as quietly as possible at SFO. The program promotes a participatory approach in complying with the noise abatement procedures.
SFO was also one of the first U.S. airports to conduct a residential sound abatement retrofitting program. Established by the FAA in the early 1980s, this program evaluated the cost effectiveness of reducing interior sound levels for homes near the airport, within the 65 CNEL noise contour. The program made use of a noise computer model to predict improvement in specific residential interiors for a variety of noise control strategies. This pilot program was conducted for a neighborhood in South San Francisco and success was achieved in all of the homes analyzed. The costs turned out to be modest, and the post-construction interior sound level tests confirmed the predictions for noise abatement. To date over $153 million has been spent to insulate more than 15,000 homes in the neighboring cities of Daly City, Pacifica, San Bruno, and South San Francisco.[31]
The airport has four terminals (1, 2, 3, and International) and seven concourses (A through G) arranged in a ring. Terminal 1 (Boarding Areas B and C), Terminal 2 (Boarding Area D), and Terminal 3 (Boarding Areas E and F) handle domestic flights (including precleared flights from Canada). The International Terminal (Boarding Areas A and G) handle international flights and some domestic flights.
Terminal 1[edit]
Formerly known as the "South Terminal," Terminal 1 has Boarding Area B (including gates 20-23, 24A-24B, 25-31, 32A-32B-32C, 33-35, 36A-36B, 37-39) and Boarding Area C (gates 40-48). A third boarding area, Rotunda A, was demolished in 2007. The first version of the terminal, which cost $14 million,[32] opened in 1963 and Rotunda A opened in 1974. The terminal was designed by Welton Becket and Associates.[33] The terminal underwent a $150 million renovation designed by Howard A. Friedman and Associates,[34] Marquis Associates and Wong & Brocchini[35] that was completed in 1988.
Terminal 2[edit]
Terminal 2, formerly known as the "Central Terminal," opened in 1954 as the main airport terminal. After a drastic rebuilding designed by Gensler, it replaced Rotunda A as SFO's international terminal in 1983[36][37] and was closed for indefinite renovation when the current international terminal opened in 2000. Its only concourse is Boarding Area D that has 14 gates (gates 50, 51A, 51B, 52, 53, 54A, 54B, 55, 56A, 56B, 57, 58A, 58B, 59). The control tower and most operations offices were (and still are) located on the upper levels, and the departure and arrival areas served as walkways between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
On May 12, 2008, a $383 million renovation project was announced that included a new control tower, the use of green materials, and a seismic retrofit.[38] The newly renovated terminal also designed by Gensler features permanent art installations from Janet Echelman, Kendall Buster, Norie Sato, Charles Sowers, and Walter Kitundu.[36][39] Terminal 2 set accolades by being the first U.S. airport to achieve LEED Gold status.[40] The terminal reopened on April 14, 2011, with Virgin America and American Airlines sharing the new 14-gate common-use facility.[41][42] Terminal 2 also hosts an Admirals Club
Terminal 3[edit]
Formerly known as the "North Terminal," Terminal 3 has Boarding Area E (gates 60–69) and Boarding Area F has 26 gates (gates 71A, 72, 73–73A, 74–76, 77A–77B, 78–86, 87–87A, 88–90). This $82.44 million terminal designed by San Francisco Airport Architects (a joint venture of John Carl Warneeke and Associates, Dreyfus and Blackford, and minority architects)[43] is now used only by United Airlines.[44] Boarding area F opened in 1979 and area E opened in 1981. Boarding Area E was closed for refurbishment, and reopened on January 28, 2014.[45] The project moved one (1) gate from Boarding Area F on to Boarding Area E to provide a total of ten aircraft parking positions.[46] As part of the airport's FY 2010/11 – FY 2014/15 Capital Plan, Terminal 3 will be renovated. This renovation includes architectural enhancements, structural renovations, replacement of HVAC systems, roof repair, and new carpeting.[47] The newly renovated Boarding E reopened on January 28, 2014.[48]
International Terminal[edit]
SFO's international terminal was designed by Craig W. Hartman of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and opened in December 2000 to replace International Departures from Terminal 2. It is the largest international terminal in North America, and is the largest building in the world built on base isolators to protect against earthquakes.[49] Food service focuses on quick service versions of leading Bay Area restaurants, following other SFO terminals. Planners attempted to make the airport a destination in and of itself, not just for travelers who are passing through.[50] The international terminal is a common use facility, with all gates and all ticketing areas shared among the international airlines. All international arrivals and departures are handled here (except flights from cities with customs preclearance). The BART train station is in this terminal, at the garage leading to Boarding Area G. The SFO Medical Clinic is located next to the security screening area of Boarding Area A. All the gates in this terminal have two jetway bridges except gates A2 and A10 which have one. Gates A1, A3, and A11 can accommodate two aircraft. Six gates are designed for the Airbus A380, making SFO one of the first airports in the world with such gates when it was built in 2000.[51] Gates A9 (9A,9B,9C) and G101 (101A,101B,101C) have three jetways for boarding.[52] Four other gates have two jetways fitted for the A380.[52]
For lack of space, the terminal was built on top of the airport's main access road at enormous expense, completing the continuous ring of terminals. The terminal required its own set of ramps to connect it with Highway 101. The design and construction of the international terminal is owed to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Del Campo & Maru Architects, Michael Willis Associates, and built by Tutor Perini (main terminal building), Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum in association with Robin Chiang & Company, Robert B. Wong Architects, and built by Tutor Perini (Boarding Area G), and Gerson/Overstreet Architects and built by Hensel Phelps Construction (Boarding Area A).[49] The contracts were awarded after an architectural design competition. If all gates in an airlines' designated international boarding area are full, passengers will board or deplane from the opposite international boarding area.
All SkyTeam, Oneworld and non-aligned international carriers operate from Boarding Area A (gates A1–A10, A11–A11A, A12). TACA Airlines, Asiana, and Air Canada are the only Star Alliance carriers that use Boarding Area A.
All international Star Alliance members aside from Air Canada (some flights), Asiana (some flights), and TACA use Boarding Area G (gates G91, G92–G92A, G93–G98, G99–G99A, G100, G101–G101A, G102). In 2010, some United domestic flights now utilize the Area G, as shown in the table below.
Domestic flights on JetBlue Airways, Sun Country Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines also operate from the International Terminal at boarding area A.
Airlines and destinations[edit]

Ground transportation[edit]
AirTrain is the airport's people-mover system. Fully automated and free of charge, it connects all four terminals, the two international terminal garages, the BART station, and the airport's Rental Car Center.[78]
The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) BART station, located in Parking Garage G of the International Terminal, is the only direct rail link between the airport, the city of San Francisco, and the general Bay Area. As of September 14, 2009, the SFO station is served by the Pittsburg/Bay Point – SFO/Millbrae line.
BART is SFO's connection to Caltrain at the Millbrae Station, which requires a transfer at the San Bruno station during most of BART's weekday operating hours; direct service between SFO and Millbrae is available on weekday evenings, weekends, and holidays.[79] Caltrain used to offer a free shuttle to SFO airport from the Millbrae station,[80] but it was replaced by the priced BART service when the BART SFO extension was completed.
The San Francisco Municipal Railway, San Francisco's transit agency, does not provide service to the airport. However, SamTrans, San Mateo County's transit agency, does, with three lines, 292, 397, and KX, connecting Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the International Terminal to Downtown San Francisco and the Peninsula down to Palo Alto. SamTrans Route 292 and Route KX serve the Airport during morning, daytime, and evening hours while Route 397 serves the Airport during nighttime hours as a part of the SamTrans "All Nighter" service.[81]
Numerous door-to-door van, airporter, limousine, hotel courtesy, and charter operators service the airport. Taxis, along with the aforementioned services, stop at the center island transportation island on the arrivals/baggage claim level of the airport.
The airport is located on U.S. Route 101, 13 miles (21 km) south of downtown San Francisco. It is near the US 101 interchange with Interstate 380, a short freeway that connects US 101 with Interstate 280.
The airport provides both short-term and long-term parking facilities.
Short term parking is located in the central terminal area and two international terminal garages. Long term parking is located on South Airport Blvd. and San Bruno Ave. and are served by shuttle buses.[82]
Passengers can also park long-term at a select number of BART stations that have parking lots, with a permit purchased online in advance.[83]
Taxis depart from designated taxi zones located at the roadway center islands, on the Arrivals/Baggage Claim Level of all terminals.[84]
Other facilities[edit]
Currently Nippon Cargo Airlines has its San Francisco branch on the airport property.[85]
Prior to its dissolution, Pacific Air Lines had its corporate headquarters on the grounds of the airport.[86] Prior to its dissolution, Hughes Airwest also had its headquarters on the grounds of San Francisco International.[87]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
- On February 9, 1937, a United Airlines Douglas DC-3A-197[88] transport liner circled the airport, then crashed into the bay, killing 11.[89]
- On September 12, 1951, United Airlines Flight 7030[90] plunged into the bay during a training exercise killing all three crew members.
- On October 29, 1953, British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines flight 304,[91] a Douglas DC-6 en route from Sydney, Australia with fuel stops in Auckland, New Zealand, Fiji, and Honolulu crashed on approach to SFO into Kings Mountain in San Mateo County. All 19 passengers and crew died.
- On February 20, 1959, a Pan American DC-7C[92] crashed and burned on the runway. The three crew members on board survived.
- On February 3, 1963, Slick Airways Flight 40Z[93] crashed and burned after striking approach lights on runway 28R, killing the four people on board.
- On December 24, 1964, Flying Tiger Line Flight 282, a Lockheed Constellation cargo aircraft departing for New York City, crashed in the hills west of the airport, killing all three crewmembers on board.[94]
- On November 22, 1968, a Japan Air Lines DC-8, named the Shiga,[citation needed] operating Flight 2, crash landed on final approach at 9:30 a.m. on a shallow submerged reef at the eastern tip of Coyote Point (three miles short of the runway southeast of the airport). The plane was on a trip from Tokyo to SFO, after making a stop in Honolulu. The pilot was experienced, but apparently misread the instruments on the DC-8, which was less than a year old. There were 107 people on the plane. There were no deaths or serious injuries. The plane was salvaged by Bigge Drayage Company soon after the crash. All luggage and fuel were removed to cut the weight and the plane was lifted onto a barge and taken to the airport for repairs. The cost of repairs was $4 million and the plane re-entered service the following April.
- On July 30, 1971, Pan Am Flight 845, a Boeing 747 (registration: N747PA, name: Clipper America), struck navigational aids at the end of runway 1R on takeoff for Tokyo. The aircraft's landing gear and other systems were damaged. Two passengers were seriously injured by metal components of the runway approach light pier entering the cabin. The flight proceeded out over the Pacific Ocean to dump fuel in order to reduce weight for an emergency landing. Emergency services were deployed at the airport, and the plane returned and landed on runway 28R. During landing the aircraft veered off the runway. There was no fire. After coming to a stop, the aircraft slowly tilted aft, coming to rest on its tail in a nose-high attitude. The forward evacuation slides were therefore in a nearly vertical position. Evacuation using these slides caused all of the additional injuries, some severe. There were no fatalities among the 218 passengers and crew aboard. An investigation determined the cause of the accident to be erroneous information from the flight dispatcher to the crew regarding weight and runway length.[95]
- On September 13, 1972, TWA Flight 604,[96] a Boeing 707-331C cargo plane crashed into the bay on takeoff. All three crew members survived.
- On February 19, 1985, China Airlines Flight 006 (callsign "Dynasty 006") flying from Taipei's Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, then Chiang Kai Shek International Airport, to Los Angeles International Airport, was involved in an aircraft upset accident after the No. 4 engine flamed out. The plane rolled over and plunged 30,000 ft (9,100 m), experiencing high speeds and g-forces (approaching 5g) before the captain was finally able to recover from the rapid dive, and then to divert to San Francisco International Airport. All 251 passengers and 23 crew survived, although there were 24 injuries, 2 of which were serious.
- On January 31, 2000, Alaska Airlines Flight 261, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft, plunged into the Pacific Ocean about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) north of Anacapa Island, California. The two pilots, three cabin crewmembers, and 83 passengers on board were killed and the aircraft was destroyed. Alaska 261 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Lic. Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Seattle, Washington, with an intermediate stop at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California. Investigators determined that the horizontal stabilizer came loose in flight due to insufficient lubrication of the jackscrew assembly, causing the plane to pitch down and dive into the sea.
- On September 11, 2001 United Airlines Flight 93 with nonstop service from Newark International Airport (now Newark Liberty International Airport) to San Francisco International Airport was the 4th aircraft hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists as part of the September 11th attacks. It was intended to be flown into the White House or Capital Building by the hijackers but the passengers overpowered the hijackers and forced them to crash the plane into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
- On June 28, 2008, an ABX Air Boeing 767 preparing to depart with cargo caught fire and was seriously damaged. The pilots escaped uninjured. The airline had received a threat the week before, but thus far investigations have revealed no evidence of any malicious device on board.[97][dated info]
- On July 6, 2013, Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a 777-200ER registered HL7742, crashed while attempting a landing at San Francisco International Airport. After the tail section struck the seawall at the end of the runway, and became detached from the airframe, the plane impacted short of the runway and skidded 2,000 feet (600 meters), where it stopped. Passengers and crew evacuated before fire, due to ignited engine lubricating oil, destroyed the aircraft. There were no fuel leaks. Three fatalities and 181 injuries resulted. An NTSB investigation is underway.[98][99][100][101][102][103][104]

Just like in the GUITAR REPAIR VICE video, you will finish your luthier tasks with a quickness and be partying down just like Disco Dan Erlewine.
Lotta money for a big red poorly designed and severely misrepresented guitar-damaging device. Not at all like Dan's, no. More like a Blacksmith's tool bending vise. The supposedly guitar-safe urethane pads are just a bit less damaging than the raw steel jaws. Screwed up a Hamer Artist Korina headstock first time out. Junk, pure and simple. If you've ever used a Real bench vise you'll know the action, build quality and manufacturing tolerances of the Stew-Mac vise won't do. I will send it back and I do not want a replacement. I still need a Guitar Repair Vise. This isn't it. I will not put my client's guitars even Near this thing! No. "Scrap Upon Delivery". Glad I didn't get the $400.00 version!
Fred, We're sorry you had this experience with the vise and we appreciate your feedback. Your satisfaction with StewMac products is guaranteed. We have issued a full refund for the defective vise and we hope you'll continue to choose Stewmac for your repair needs. Thanks!
I put a nylon string into the vise holding it by the neck it was perfect for doing fret work; especially the dressing. No Shop should be without one or two. Great job Stewmac Ms Ricki Leigh
It took me a while to warm up to this tool, as I had become accustomed to my parrot vise over the years. Well, the Guitar Repair Vise has grown on me and now gets used almost daily.
Like a few others: First one was a train-wreck. Customer service apologized and was great to get me a second vise and pay shipping, but the second vise was also a lemon. I had to tear them both apart and swap parts to make one functional. Would not buy this product again. I paid the higher-price and chose this over competitors expecting a better product and not having to waste time getting it to work.
This workout to be a great Guitar vise, It is bulky and heavy with a steel cross bar that made me nerves at first but placing a piece of leather on the cross bar gave me piece of mind.
The vise works well. But the best is the unbeatable service of Stewmac! A Thanks to Matt Street. Greetings Peter
This is a really good vise and well worth the price, made my work so much easier.
Thanks very much. The second vise is completely different - smooth to operate with one hand (an essential requirement as the other hand is holding the guitar!) Thanks to all at Stewmac - my faith is restored!
This is one of the most used tools in the shop. We use it for holding necks and bodies in different angles. It is simply a gun stock vice adapted to work with guitars. -Matt Dreher

Ian Penny has been unanimously named as Interim Executive Director of the National Hockey League Players' Association.
He had previously held the role of General Counsel for the union.
Sources tell TSN Penny is not interested in the position on a fulltime basis and only took the title in order to give the NHLPA a point person during the coming days.
The move came after the 30 player representatives voted to fire Paul Kelly early on Monday morning at their meetings in Chicago.
NHLPA Ombudsman Buzz Hargrove told the TEAM 1040 radio station in Vancouver that the union didn't have faith that Kelly was the right man to lead them in their next contract negotiations with the NHL in 2011.
"They didn't want to wait until it was too late," Hargrove said. "If we waited until next year, you're almost on the doorstep of the opening of negotiations and they didn't want then to be caught with someone they didn't really think was able to unify and pull the group together and get them all working together. 'Trust and confidence' were the words they used and I think that's used appropriately."
NHL deputy commissioner, Bill Daly released the following statement on Monday afternoon.
"We do not believe it is appropriate for the League to comment extensively on the news coming out of the players' Executive Board meeting in Chicago over the last 24 hours. It is an internal Union matter, and its not our role or place to be passing judgment, especially when we don't know all the facts. We obviously have a longstanding relationship with Ian Penny and we are committed to working with him, both during this interim period and beyond, for the betterment of the game for the benefit of all of the game's stakeholders, including most importantly, for our fans. As for Paul Kelly, we wish him the very best in whatever challenge he next chooses to pursue. He is a very talented professional who was totally committed to representing the players' interests for the purpose of, and in the context of, growing and promoting a sport that he loved."
Penny has worked as staff counsel with the NHLPA since 2000, and was promoted to his present position in 2007. The report states that Kelly had been at odds with Penny as well as with other key members of the NHLPA.
When asked if the NHLPA had any leads with regards to filling the Executive Director job, Hargrove said that there were no candidates.
"There's no names in the hopper at this point, Hargrove told the TEAM. "I talked to almost all the players before they left at noon today and no one had a suggestion. They really are saying that we need to do a search and we have to reach out outside of the organization, unless somebody surfaces that we haven't yet identified."
Kelly was named the fourth executive director in NHLPA history in October of 2007. A search for his replacement will begin immediately.
The former assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Massachusetts was involved in the investigation of former NHLPA leader Alan Eagleson and was chosen to replace Ted Saskin, who was fired amid allegations he ordered the spying of NHLPA player e-mail related to his initial hiring.

There Will Be Blood(2007)In turn-of-the-century California, a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, so he heads out with his son H.W. to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy-roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday, Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing remains the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son – is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.

The reason I bought Accordance was to be able to keep my Greek going and help sermon prep. This Bible is a must, and works brilliantly with the BDAG option. One hover, and the word is there! And as it all sync's with iOS, it's always with me too!

A guide to emerging with reputation intact after a crisis threatens your company
A guide to emerging with reputation intact after a crisis threatens your company
Most business owners behave suspiciously like ostriches when it comes to the topic of crisis planning. Either they think nothing bad will ever happen to (or around) their business or they assume that whatever the crisis is, it will be so unexpected that planning won't do much good.
Wrong! Particularly in today's 24/7 world of communications, where Twitter means that you might find out about a problem FROM your customers or clients, being prepared to address a challenge quickly in a crisis is the key to maintaining trust. And though technology means that the ways you can communicate will continue to change, there are some hard and fast rules about communicating in a crisis that will always hold true.
While the traditional news media still plays a big role in a crisis – major newspapers set the agenda and nightly newscasts still reach a lot of people – the issue of who to communicate with, when, and how has become more nuanced. And it's certainly a LOT harder to hide problems then ever before (just ask any politician or sports figure who has ever tried to keep a romantic dalliance with someone other then their spouse a secret). In crisis communications, it makes sense to think like the Boy Scouts and always be prepared.

How to Communicate in a Crisis: What's The Plan?
One of the best outcomes of thinking about a crisis before it happens is the chance to consider your company's strategy without the pressure of news choppers hovering over your facility.
Every company should have a crisis communications plan that considers the following:

How to Communicate in a Crisis: What Are My Messages?
Not surprisingly, the foundation of any crisis response is the message you are communicating. When a crisis hits, the first thing you do is figure out what the facts are (or if you can't find the answers quick enough, identify a process for getting the facts). Then, you have to decide how much of those facts that you can communicate publicly (based on legal and other restraints).
Among the messages that are invariably part of any good crisis response:
It should go without saying that honesty is always the best policy, transparency creates trust, acting defensively won't win you any admirers and leaders earn respect when they are willing to publicly take their lumps. Most importantly, don't stonewall or refuse to provide information--earning yourself a lot of ill will. Almost always the public pressure becomes so intense companies eventually break down and offer some sort of response, but by that point the damage is done and even the best crafted public message rings hollow and appears forced.

How to Communicate in a Crisis: Who is My Audience?
Crisis situations are often framed by media coverage, which means reporters are typically the first audience considered. But one of the advantages of the internet, e-mail, mobile phones, etc. is the capacity to communicate in direct ways to each of your audiences.
To take advantage of the technology, a little advance planning is required. By figuring out who your key audiences are in advance (typically they include employees, investors/board members, customers, opinion leaders in your community, elected officials, the press, etc.) you can make sure you have the vehicles in place to communicate.
Communications vehicles can include everything from in-person open forums for employees to webinars/video conferences if your operations are widespread. Both are easier to pull off if you have some history of holding them under normal circumstances and already have the mechanisms in place to make them happen.
In today's world, consumers are trained to go to an organization's website when news breaks (and news outlets often link to the websites in their online stories); make sure you can quickly update your website to include news and information about the current situation. Social media – your company's Facebook fan site ( you do have one, right?), twitter feed, etc. should also be updated. One of the best weapons in fighting reputational damage from a crisis is arming people with the facts and the web gives you an unfiltered way to provide the facts to the public.

How to Communicate in a Crisis: Dealing with the Media
Though the media may be the first to call, it's important not to let them set the agenda. How do you do that?
In addition, remember the news coverage doesn't end when the interview does. Most print and broadcast outlets post stories online, which can be commented on by the general public. Monitor the comments, which will help you understand what information you need to clarify or communicate about proactively through non-press means. And when friends of your company ask what they can do to help, encourage them to weigh in online with testimonials in your support.

How to Communicate in a Crisis: Final Thoughts
Though we all hope a crisis never befalls our company, it's a good idea to build up a bank of goodwill – acting honorably and transparently, communicating a sense of your values and the benefits you offer your employees, customers and other key audiences, and showing a level of responsiveness on the small stuff. Doing so will help people forgive you more quickly when something goes wrong.
If you pair an existing communications approach that engenders trust with a solid crisis plan, you won't panic when something goes awry. That invariably helps you communicate with more confidence, which is reassuring to your audience.
