I am taking a flight from the east coast to San Francisco on southwest airlines. It says there is a stop but no plane change. I can't figure out where or for how long the stop over is - it doesn't seem to say anywhere. Just that it leaves at 6:25am and gets in at 11:20 California time. So assuming a couple hours layover somewhere how does it work with letting us off. Do we get priority boarding to get back on so we get the same seat (assume we can leave our luggage in the overhead). Since southwest doesn't assign seats couldn't someone else take your seat. I did pay for priority boarding.
southwest airlines - stop but not a plane change - can I get out?

You should be able to find out how long the plane is on the ground - but in any case: When you land - ongoing passengers remain in their seats while the rest of the passengers get off. Then they count the remaining passengers and you can de-plane, leaving your bags in place. Then at re-boarding -- you get on first before they start calling the boarding groups. You can keep your original seat -- or move to a better one if you wish.

The layover is normally not very long and they will encourage you to stay on board. (Actually as fast as they board you won't really be boarding before folks and could actually lose your seats.) Without knowing where you coming from it's hard to say but.. I fly to California from Atlanta all the time and to make that schedule SW would probably be on the ground about an hour.. That includes taxi time, time for everyone to get off and time for eveyrone to get on....
Report Abuse
Carol is right re the typical (and short) layover. My comments were only IF the plane is on the ground nearly as long as you calculated.
Normally you wouldn't have time to get off . . .
Report Abuse
Well it's a mystery to me. I also posted this question on the US Board and got several answers similar to what you are saying - that normally they have very short turn around times. I've flown them a few times and that's what I remember. And obviously, I'll find out on Thursday, it doesn't matter all that much. I was asking because I wanted to know if I should pack food for an eight hour flight or if I'd likely be able to get out and get something at the airport where we stop. But the flight leaves BDL (Hartford/Springfield) at 6:25 and arrives in AK (Oakland) at 11:20 - that's five hours plus the three hour time difference = 8h hours, for what would be, were it a direct flight, about a six hour flight. That's where I get the two hours from. Can't find anywhere on the southwest site where the plane stops. I know I could call and ask but it's really not that important, just thought someone here who flies them a lot might know.
Report Abuse
From Expertflyer, it looks like the flight number is 165. Is that right? Then checked that on Flightaware and today's schedule is 6:34am-7:36am (Hartford to Midway), then Midway-Oakland from 8:54-11:14.
Can't answer on getting off the plane though. I would think with that amount of time you would.
Report Abuse
Two hours extra because first, the route is slightly longer even for Chicago. But more importantly, it takes a lot of extra time for approach, and then the airline has to add allowance for delays, taxiing, getting into gate, etc. Which is why non-stop is always preferred, unless it is not available.
Report Abuse
Thanks guys, I got it figured out. Probably no time to leave the plane, guess I'll need to pack a lunch. Unfortunately there are no non-stops from my local airport. I'll try not to think about the fact that with an eight hour flight I could have gone to Rome and just hope for good weather in California.
Report Abuse
1. The US is a big country.
2. Westbound flights takes significantly longer than eastbounds at our latititude.
3. You can't get to Rome in 8 hours from BDL, only from BOS.
4. Plenty of non-stops BOS-SFO.
More on point 2. While BOS-FCO is just over an hour longer than BOS-SFO, it's almost 4 hours longer for the reverse. 9:20 vs 5:40, and that's summer. Even bigger difference for winter.

Regulator to InterBank: Boost capital — or else
Send this story to a friend
- Jennifer Niemela
- Staff writer
InterBank, the troubled savings and loan association that lost more money than any Minnesota-chartered bank or S&L last year, could be forced to merge or liquidate if it doesn't improve its capital position by this fall.
The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), InterBank's regulator, in June issued its second cease-and-desist order against the Maple Grove-based association in 10 months.
The most recent order requires InterBank to submit a plan to shore up its declining capital ratios, which determine how well a bank or S&L can sustain losses, by Sept. 30. If the association doesn't meet regulators' requirements, it must come up with a "capital contingency plan" that would include either a "merger with or acquisition by another federally insured depository institution ... or ... voluntary liquidation," according to the regulatory filing.
InterBank has a capital plan that should allow it to meet regulators' requirements, said Fred Stelter, the bank's president and CEO.
"We have an excellent working relationship with our regulator and we expect, as they do, that we will be able to comply with the capital plan," Stelter said, adding that the bank is "adequately capitalized," according to general regulatory guidelines. (Banks strive to be in the "well-capitalized" category, which InterBank has missed for the past two quarters.)
"We continue to raise capital, improve operations and work through the issues," he said.
OTS spokeswoman Janet Frank said the organization does not comment on regulatory actions.
Home mortgage focus
If InterBank was a bank, it would be the state's 10th largest by asset size. It is Minnesota's third-largest S&L. As a federally chartered S&L, InterBank must have at least 70 percent of its assets in residential mortgages or mortgage-backed securities. It therefore was heavily exposed to the recent downturn in the residential real estate market.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Blue Jays acquire John Mayberry, Jr. from the Phillies

The Blue Jays added an outfield bench bat, picking up John Mayberry, Jr. from the Phillies on Sunday.

The Brewers tried but ultimately failed to acquire David Price from the Rays in July because they refused to part with pitcher Jimmy Nelson.

UC's Henry Chesbrough takes seat on Utek board
A former strategic advisor for Utek Corp. is joining its board of directors.
Henry Chesbrough, an adjunct professor and executive director for the Center for Open Innovation at the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley, will officially become a member of the Ybor City intellectual property licensing and innovation company Feb. 1. Utek, in a release, called his appointment to the board a "significant endorsement" of the company's leadership and strategic direction bringing an innovation technology platform and services capability under one umbrella to help crate breadth and depth in the industry.
"The open innovation market is rapidly expanding, and Utek is well-positioned to be a leader in the innovation strategy and services industry," Chesbrough said in a release.
Chesbrough is the author of the book "Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology" that was published by Harvard Business School Press. It was said to being the term "open innovation" into the language of global business and propelled firms to accelerate their core business growth by dramatically increasing the percent of IP licensed and acquired from outside organizations, according to a release.
Utek (AMEX: UTK) changed its business model last year to provide consulting and technology transfers in exchange for cash instead of its previous operations of exchanging it for equity positions. That has allowed Utek to become a cash-fueled company rather than one based on the value of its holdings.
Utek reported a loss of $2.4 million, or 21 cents a share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, according to a November filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That was compared to a $12.7 million, or $1.25 a share, loss from restated financials of the year before. Revenue was $2.3 million, down nearly 67 percent from the $7.1 million earned in the third quarter of 2008.
Shares for Utek were trading at $3.98 just before 1 p.m. Thursday, up more than 4.4 percent from its previous close of $3.81. Shares have traded between $3.20 and $9.30 over the past year.

Time Distorts Nature Distemper Images
two of the three majestic
big beautiful rata trees
I love were blown over
by gust great wind yesterday
they left no big holes in ground
bigger holes in my empty heart
gust wind tree trunks did twig snap
ground flexed in strong gust blasts
ground flexed movement breathed
trunks violence broken splintered
matchstick snapped trunks ripped
meat life trunk wind severed twisted
middle tree was gust suddenly gone
far right tree rip burst a half hour later
my favourite time breathed still stands
roots raw earth mixed up reach broken
limbs rip torn reach up in split supplication
tree trunk branches lie on side grounded
just past grey memorial gates
of war remembrance they grew
over sage sentinel seventy years
trees stood watch finger tiny leaves at night
my favourite spotlight lit under a street light
glitter wind whisper as blown sparkle leaves
sometimes time distorts
I had already dream
seen these trees laid low
elemental life forces
lightning strike fork
in shaman brain cells
sometimes rare future is
snapshot chance cast back
strong impressions emotions

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Jon Jay took one for the team Tuesday and the Reds lost another one because of its bullpen.
J.J. Hoover plunked Jay with the bases loaded to push across the deciding run as the Cardinals earned a 5-4 win in walk-off fashion.
"A great ending," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Terrific job by our guys, fighting back to get in this."
Jay went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and the winning RBI while Jhonny Peralta added a solo homer for St. Louis, which has won six of its last seven games, including a 10-inning victory in the opener of this three-game series.
Todd Frazier hit a two-run homer while Ryan Ludwick added two hits and two RBI for Cincinnati, which has dropped four in a row and seven of eight overall.
The Reds' bullpen, after getting torched for 16 earned runs the previous three games, squandered a 4-3 lead in the eighth.
"We haven't been able to shut the door," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
Jumbo Diaz put runners on the corners before Daniel Descalso laced a two-out, pinch-hit double down the left-field line to knock in the tying run.
After getting out of a bases-loaded jam, Hoover (1-10) stayed in for the ninth and gave up a leadoff walk to Matt Holliday and a single to Matt Adams to put runners on the corners. He was ahead 0-2 on Peralta before eventually walking him, and his first pitch to Jay was his last. Jay has been hit by a pitch an MLB-high 15 times this year.
Alfredo Simon allowed an RBI single to Holliday in the third inning but left the bases loaded by retiring Peralta on a flyout to left.
Frazier took John Lackey deep to straightaway center in the fourth with Billy Hamilton aboard, and Ludwick added a two-run single down the left-field line with the bases loaded in the sixth.
Peralta sent one into Big Mac Land for his 17th home run of the season in the sixth, and the Cardinals threatened for more later in the frame.
With runners on first and second and two outs, Shane Robinson, pinch-hitting for Lackey, sent a single to center field. Jay hustled around to score from second just before Oscar Taveras was cut down at third base.
The Reds have already lost the series and are 1-11 in their last 12 series
against St. Louis ... Jay extended his hitting streak to 11 ... Peralta set a
single-season franchise record for home runs by a shortstop ... Simon allowed
three runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings to remain winless in seven starts
since the All-Star break ... Lackey struck out seven over six innings, and two
of the four runs he allowed were unearned.
Georgetown also underwent a head coaching change in the offseason, and, like Colgate, its Patriot League programs has continuity leading into the 2014 season. The Hoyas elevated assistant Rob Sgarlata to head coach after he served for 18 seasons as an assistant coach - the last nine under Kevin Kelly.
Ryan Blaney claimed his second career win in the Nationwide Series after passing Kyle Busch for the lead following a restart with six laps to go in Friday night's Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Oakland Raiders linebacker Sio Moore left Friday's game in Green Bay on a stretcher after suffering a neck injury.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announced starting pitcher Garrett Richards underwent surgery Friday to repair the torn patellar tendon in his left knee.
Stephen Curry, James Harden and Kyrie Irving were among the roster of 12 players named to represent the USA Basketball team in the upcoming FIBA World Cup in Spain.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who patrolled NHL creases for 16 seasons and spent last year as a backup with the Colorado Avalanche, announced his retirement on Thursday.

"I'm flying!" cried the girl.
She shouted in her heart anyway because all she could do right now was gawk at the rooftops and clothes lines and trees passing below her. She stopped feeling uneasy a while ago, holding on to her companion's hand. It was big, white and strong, its grip firm enough to ease her fears away.
She turned to her right where her new friend was. He looked very strange. His skin was all white. And he had long white hair. Which was nice. She found out he could use it to climb down from the door in the sky. That's where he came from. She thought it was a very strange place to put a door. But he said there was no other way for it.
She wondered why he only had two eyes on his face and nothing much else. His eyes were golden like her hair. And when he looked at her, she saw something familiar in there... in his head. She couldn't figure out what this familiar thing was yet. But she still knew it was there, and fe
The BeginningHe told them, of course. He told those idiots everything, the whole damn story, including the blunder he'd made, and its consequences. Looking back on it later, he realized he had probably been in shock the whole time. It made sense, anyone would have been.
Soph was about twenty years old, and he'd been that way for a couple of years already, ever since the Hoarde had started attacking humanity from the past. Every day that passed, they ate at another day in the past. It sickened him. Those creatures had absolutely no regard for proper time and causality protocols.
It didn't seem to affect anyone else that way, though.
The Hoarde was the result of a human creation, of course, like everything bad in the world, though no one else knew about them. Then again, no one else had undiluted access to the power of creation. Even he didn't know much about the Hoarde, only that they appeared through some tear in The Fabric of The World and started killing people off. They appeared at some point in

About my libraryAbout my ratings: If I rate a book five stars, I consider it a must-read, and I've probably read it multiple times. Three stars does not mean average, it means I liked and recommend the book, and plan to read more books by the author, but probably wouldn't read it a second time. One star does not mean the book sucks, it means it's worth a read, probably entertaining, but don't expect to be impressed.

On this week's Salt City Hoops Podcast, Ben Dowsett hosts in place of Brazil-bound Andy Larsen and is joined in-studio by Clint Johnson. Ben and Clint first talk to Gordie Chiesa, former longtime Jazz assistant under Jerry Sloan currently working under Jacque Vaughn in Orlando, about the tangible impact of coaching and a true insider perspective on it's most important elements. From there, they're joined by SCH writer Dan Clayton to discuss next Thursday's NBA Draft1, the new lottery landscape after news of Joel Embiid's latest injury, and how the Jazz shake out.

I liked the comparison of Blake Griffin's college stats and Julius Randle's college stats, and Julius Randle's post game and Paul Millsap's post game.
With a little help from the Jazz coaching staff Randle can maybe use his athleticism and physical tools in his post game? Maybe to a stretch be as good as Blake Griffin.
I think Randle is much closer to Parker as a prospect than commonly considered. The Kentucky product isn't only statistically very similar to a freshman Blake Griffin, he's extremely similarly in regard to his measurables as well (Griffin does have a better standing vertical). I don't think either Parker or Randle will be excellent defenders, but I have more confidence in Randle's ability to be a solid positional defender. I think he's a likely star, and someone in this draft will get a steal is he lasts beyond 4-5.

Ford refuses to apologize for Asian comments
Don't expect a public apology from Rob Ford over remarks he made about "Oriental people slowly taking over.''
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Don't expect a public apology from Rob Ford over remarks he made about "Oriental people slowly taking over.''
No stranger to controversial statements, the Etobicoke councillor yesterday stood by his claim that his comments during this week's council debate were meant as a compliment to Asian people.
"Those Oriental people work like dogs ... they sleep beside their machines,'' he said. "The Oriental people, they're slowly taking over ... they're hard, hard workers.''
He said in a later interview that by "taking over'' he meant Asians are further advanced in business than a century ago.
Ford made the comments Wednesday during a debate over permitting shopping in the city on all holidays except Christmas. Council voted against the move.
Mayor David Miller denounced Ford's comments yesterday, saying he should apologize on the floor of council.
"We're one of the most diverse cities in the world. We don't stereotype people by the racial or ethnic background in this city."
But yesterday Ford showed the Star copies of 20 emails of support he's received, some from writers who said they were of Chinese decent. A staff worker in Ford's office said he also got about 15 phone calls from the public, only one negative.
"I don't know why I should (apologize)," Ford said. "People aren't asking me to."

Jam Cafe
The locals won't tell you anything about this slightly off-the-beaten-path place. But that's not because they don't know about it; it's because they don't want you to add to the lineups for the best breakfast in town.
The locals won't tell you anything about this slightly off-the-beaten-path place. But that's not because they don't know about it; it's because they don't want you to add to the lineups for the best breakfast in town.
This celebrated restaurant at the Auberge St-Antoine receives high marks for its delectable, imaginatively prepared Québécois cuisine and top-notch service. The feast, which can easily last three or four hours, might feature the likes of maple-glazed halibut, Appalachian red deer with wild berry sauce, spit-roasted duck or caramelized giant scallops.
Revitalizing a former Gastown hotel building, this great-value cafe-bistro is a perfect fuel-up spot. Drop in for Stumptown coffee or dive into a hearty menu ranging from hot sandwich specials served with soup or salad to a heaping roast with all the extras.
This basement bistro stands in marked contrast to the Old Town fish shacks. Food covers a few bases: buffalo steaks take their place alongside Cajun, Asian, French and Italian dishes.
This museum is really just a bunch of stuff in an unexciting room with linoleum floors, but like Churchill it sucks you in and soon an hour or two has passed The obvious standouts – stuffed polar bear and musk ox, narwhal horns and original hide-covered kayaks – are immediate attention-grabbers, but closer inspection reveals tiny arrowheads, big harpoon blades and hundreds .
This cooperative micro-brewery in St-Roch is beloved for its spacious tree-shaded outdoor deck and its ever-evolving selection of eight home brews, from classic pale ales to more inventive options such as orange stout or blonde ale with lime and ginger. Choose whatever flavor grabs your fancy, or sample all the current offerings in the popular eight-beer carousel.
Vancouver's current 'it' restaurant is the chic, fine-dining anchor of the top-end Rosewood Hotel Georgia. But unlike most hotel restaurants, this one has a starry-eyed local following. Created by and named after one of the city's top local chefs, the menu fuses contemporary West Coast approaches with clever international influences, hence dishes such as soy-roasted sturgeon.
Like a theme park for bookish kids, this huge child-friendly store – reputedly Canada's biggest kids' bookshop – has thousands of novels, picture books, history titles and anything else you can think of to keep your sprogs quiet.
One of the top-end darlings of the capital, Le Saint-Amour has earned a loyal following over the years for its beautifully prepared grills and seafood. Perhaps more impressive than the food is the excellent wine selection, with over 10,000 bottles in the cellar. The setting is warm and inviting beneath the glass-domed ceiling trimmed with hanging plants.
Vancouver's oldest independent record store is still a major lure for music fans, with its High Fidelity ambiance and time-capsule feel.
Said to be the world's most photographed hotel, Le Château Frontenacwas built in 1893 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as part of its chain of luxury hotels. During WWII, Prime Minister MacKenzie King, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt planned D-Day here.
Chinched is St John's first real foodie restaurant, the kind that offers mega-quality dishes but without the white-tablecloth pretense. So belly up in the warm, dark-wood room for octopus tacos or Newfoundland wild mushroom risotto. The meaty menu changes regularly.
This unclassifiable store named after a flea-market neighborhood in Athens calls itself a 'hybrid curiosity shop/art space', but that doesn't do justice to what illustrator Billy Mavreas sells: 1960s comic books, contemporary zines (homemade magazines), silkscreen posters, and myriad antique and collectible knickknacks, as well as recent works mainly by local graphic artists.
The inventor of the telephone is buried near his summer home, Beinn Bhreagh, which is visible across the bay from Baddeck. The excellent museum of the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, at the eastern edge of town, covers all aspects of his inventions and innovations Although nothing looks spectacular at first glance, it's the story of the man that will hook you.
The century-old Whyte Museum is more than just a rainy-day option. There is a beautiful gallery displaying some great pieces on an ever-changing basis.
Quite possibly Québec City's finest bakery, this place draws long lines of devoted locals from dawn to dusk. Among the delicacies in the gorgeous display case are countless varieties of danoises (Danish pastries), including orange and anise, cranberry, pistachio and chocolate, and lemon, ginger and poppy seed.
