OAKLAND -- The BART strike is on.
Commuters around the Bay Area on Monday were left stuck in freeway gridlock, cramming onto standing room-only buses and cursing the first BART labor shutdown since 1997.
About 200,000 people who ride BART daily -- about 5 percent of the Bay Area commute pool -- were left scrambling to find other ways to get around as all BART trains remained shut down following the end of service early Monday morning.
"It was a rough day out there, just as we had expected," said John Goodwin, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the regional agency that operates the 511 commute-information service. And "we're obliged to operate under the assumption that BART will be down again tomorrow."
BART and its unions saw their four-year contract expire overnight after three months of failed negotiations, and workers immediately hit the picket lines. A strike will continue indefinitely until BART management and the two unions representing 2,300 blue-collar workers reach a deal.
On Monday morning, neither side had plans to return to the bargaining table as they remained at odds over wage increases and medical and pension benefits.
"We have not heard from the mediator yet, so unfortunately no talks are scheduled. We're hoping that changes soon," BART spokesman Rick Rice said. "We do feel this is unfair to our riders and hope to get it resolved quickly."
Both sides remained waiting for the other to offer a new proposal.
"If they don't contact us, we can't sit down and negotiate, and that would mean we would continue to be on strike," said Antonette Bryant, president of the union that represents train operators, station agents and other workers. Asked how long the strike could go on, she said: "I have no idea; that's up to BART."
Carpool lanes will remain open throughout the day and motorists should be prepared for heavy traffic and hot weather. The California Highway Patrol advised filling up gas tanks and bringing along plenty of water in case of long waits in traffic.
Traffic officials reported Monday that commutes from the East Bay into San Francisco were about an hour worse than usual for solo drivers, with the commute worsened by a major accident on Interstate 80 in the East Bay. Vehicle counts on the Bay and Golden Gate bridges actually went down slightly during rush hour compared to the typical weekday, but that always happens when traffic is especially bad. Traffic officials liken it to pouring water through a funnel: When more cars clog the road, fewer overall vehicles can get through in a short time span than if the freeways are free-flowing.
Carpool lanes were moving much faster, however. Goodwin urged commuters to show up to casual carpool lots, including at BART parking lots, after tons of drivers waited in lines up to 10 vehicles deep waiting for commuters that did not show up hop in their carpools.
Two reporters from this newspaper -- one driving solo and one taking transit -- raced between the Fremont BART station and downtown San Francisco. Even with a 20-minute stop in Oakland, the reporter driving made it there in 2 hours and 14 minutes, beating the transit-taking reporter by 34 minutes.
Bay Area transit agencies were offering extra services that would provide about 52,000 additional seats, with full service plan details -- and the latest traffic updates -- available through the 511 hotline and 511.org.
Meanwhile, AC Transit workers -- who provided the bulk of the back-up rides despite their contract also expiring Sunday night -- had not planned to walk off the job despite earlier threats to shut down the East Bay bus line. Amalgamated Transit Union Local 192, the union for AC Transit drivers and mechanics, has vowed to give 24-hour notice before striking but had yet to do so.
"They are still talking," AC Transit spokesman Clarence Johnson said late Monday afternoon.
AC Transit ran extra buses and carried thousands of extra passengers Tuesday to help people stranded by the BART strike, yet drivers made 99 percent of their scheduled runs, said David Armijo, the agency's general manger.
"Our operators did a magnificent job under some stressful conditions that will likely persist until BART returns to its normal service," Armijo said.
Commuters react
Around the Bay Area, people began coping with a life without BART.
"I was going crazy. I didn't know what to do," Alicia Wooley, 35, who takes BART daily to San Francisco but used AC transit as an alternative. "I hope they come to an agreement fast. I understand what they're going through but they have to realize what they're doing to everyone else. They're impacting the whole Bay Area."
Many commuters were angry. Karen O'Connor, 58, of Antioch, left home two hours early this morning to catch the ferry to San Francisco. O'Connor, a city worker, had little sympathy for the striking BART workers, saying "we all have to pay into our pension."
BART workers, who average about $83,000 annually in gross pay, contribute nothing toward their retirement and $92 monthly to health insurance. BART has offered an 8 percent pay hike over four years and wants workers to pay more toward their medical and pension benefits, while the local Service Employees International Union and Amalgamated Transit Union are looking for a 23 percent pay hike.
"As it is, they are overpaid," O'Connor said.
But Anne Coogan-Gehr, 56, of Pittsburg, who typically takes BART to her job in San Francisco, said she supports the striking workers despite the disruption to her commute. She was among dozens of people in Oakland catching an AC Transit bus to San Francisco.
"I'm very supportive of the BART workers in their negotiations for stabilized salaries and health and retirement benefits," Coogan-Gehr said.
Chris Morgan, 38, who works in San Francisco, chalked up the work stoppage as part of the bargaining process.
"I don't take it personally on either side," Morgan said, adding he took an extra hour to get to work after getting the news at 3:30 a.m. while following updates on Twitter. "I'm hoping it'll make my life pretty much unchanged."
At least one rider wasn't sure of which alternate route to take. Ama Gee woke up at 4 a.m. in Discovery Bay and drove to Oakland's Lake Merritt looking for a public transit connection to San Francisco's Financial District. Gee usually parks at a BART station and rides in, but this morning he was wandering Grand Avenue, lost and without a plan.
"I have no idea how to get to San Francisco," Gee said. "No one can tell me where to go, what bus to take." Finally, a fellow a commuter helped to direct him to the morning's first AC Transit transbay bus, which was full of extra riders looking for a BART alternative.
Twenty minutes after his shift was supposed to begin at a Levi's store in Union Square but two hours after he left his East Oakland home, Julian Damone, 23, was stuck at the West Oakland BART station waiting for a shuttle.
"It's really a killer," Damone said.
Also furious was Gabriel Mendieta, who was getting conflicting information about how he could get from the station to Fisherman's Wharf. Mendieta, who works at an Applebee's making San Francisco's minimum wage of $10.55 per hour, said he had little sympathy for striking BART workers.
"They get paid more than teachers do. They get paid more than I do, more than half the people that are commuting do," Mendieta said. "I barely make ends meet."
Just around the corner, a crew of Google workers was embarking on a breezier company shuttle ride from West Oakland to the tech company's Mountain View headquarters. One worker waiting for the unmarked "G-Bus" said he had no idea that BART workers were on strike.
Evening commute slow
During the evening commute, Pleasanton resident Julie Jackson said the strike made her trip a lot longer.
"Two-and-a-half (hours) as opposed to 45 minutes" to get home, Jackson said while sitting in a charter bus next to the temporary Transboy Terminal that was about to depart for BART's West Oakland station just after 3 p.m.
Zac Campbell agreed with Jackson that the union's deserved most of the blame as he stood in line for a Berkeley-bound AC Transit bus at the terminal.
"They've got a pretty good deal with those salaries from my point of view," said Campbell, who lives in West Oakland.
He said perhaps a cost-of-living increase would be acceptable but he has a hard time coming to terms with BART employees paying a flat rate for health care, no matter how many dependents are included. Not only is his commute about 30 minutes longer, but it also costs more to take the bus, he said.
At the Embarcadero BART station, turnstiles were blocked, with the slot to put the ticket in plastered over with an orange "out of service" sticker. A man headed to San Francisco International Airport go catch a flight to his home back east was informed by a BART employee that trains were not operating after he tried to get through the turnstile.
"I just paid $8.25 for this ticket and I just learned BART is on strike," said the man before leaving the station to hail a cab that he expects will cost him $60 to get to the airport.
Keith Kelly, 35, was one of several people who showed up at the BART station oblivious to the strike. Kelly said he had just returned from a trip to San Diego and had walked to the station to catch a train to SFO for the second leg of his vacation.
"I have a friend coming to pick me up," he said, as he stood against a light pole at the nearly deserted station around noon. "I am inconvenienced."
Stella Peterson of Pleasanton, who works at Safeway there, said some of her coworkers didn't show up for work -- one from Castro Valley and one from the Modesto area.
"Being a fellow worker, I don't blame them for fighting for what they deserve," Peterson said. "It's a shame that the rest of use have to suffer."
At a 7-Eleven gas station by Interstate 580 in Livermore, Michael Chavez said a lot of his friends are in their mid 20s and "are not fortunate enough to have a car."
Workers picket
Outside the Montgomery BART station, about 25 train operators and station agents chanted "Riding public should be aware, the BART board is unfair!" while waving placards with slogans like "stop the violence." They also planned rallies in Oakland and San Francisco for Monday.
"We are the working class, we support the working class. We bring them to work everyday," said train operator Tina Santillan, 35, of Daly City. "But the BART board doesn't care about the working-class folks because they've left them out on the freeway."
As she spoke, her colleagues blew into noise makers and chanted: "What's this about? Safety!"
BART train operator Robert Malito said he's on strike because he wants worker's comp rules improved and better train maintenance. He said train cabs aren't well insulated and drivers endure much louder noise when going through tunnels than ordinary motor vehicles would.
In addition, he said some driver's chairs have been repaired with duct tape, leaving springs sticking out. Also, he said, windows are so poorly maintained that he and other drivers have sustained injuries opening and closing them after they pull into stations to watch passengers getting on and off. He spent two-and-a-half years on workers' comp, but earned no retirement pay during that time, he said.
"Basically, the big issues are worker safety and vehicle maintenance," he said. "A lot of people are getting injured and there's no protection for us. We've had station agents assaulted by passengers. We call BART police and by the time they get there, the people have made their getaway."
Apart from the rumble of the occasional Muni train, the Embarcadero BART station was silent Monday morning. The turnstiles were wrapped in yellow caution tape and orange "out of service" stickers were plastered over the ticket slots. There were just a few people wandering through the usually bustling hub.
Two BART station agents, who didn't want to give their last names, said they are on strike seeking better wages and benefits including retirement, as well as improved safety for employees and passengers. They pointed to recent shootings and stabbings at BART stations.
"A lot of us have been assaulted. I've been spit on," said one of the agents, Elizabeth L.
Sandra D. added: "And I've been choked."
Elizabeth said most members of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 don't believe BART's claims that the agency is short on money.
Even though BART is subsidized by taxpayers, it still loses money when it's not operating because of other built-in costs that still need to be met even when the system is idle. BART loses $8 million in passenger fare and parking revenue each week it is shut down, and even with saving money on labor and other operating costs, it still loses a net of $3.9 million a week, or $560,000 a day, BART says.
Back-up bus service
Outside the Walnut Creek BART station in the East Bay, buses were lined up early Monday to take commuters to the West Oakland BART station, where they will transfer to another shuttle that will take them near the Transbay Terminal in downtown San Francisco.
Passengers are being given round trip tickets and will be able to begin boarding buses for the return trip at 3 p.m. on Howard Street between Folsom and Beale streets. Bus riders must arrive to this loading area by 7 p.m. to get a ride back to West Oakland, where they will transfer to one of four buses headed to the Fremont, El Cerrito Del Norte, Walnut Creek and Dublin/Pleasanton stations.
Gary Luk of Pleasanton spent two hours on a chartered BART bus getting into San Francisco before getting an emergency call from his wife to come home for a sick child. With return bus trips to the East Bay only leaving this afternoon, he was left scratching his head, trying to figure out how to get back. The back-up service has proven "totally inadequate for dealing with emergencies," he said.
Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said the trains arriving in San Francisco between 5 and 8 a.m. were not overly crowded.
"We had more passengers than normal but not extraordinary crowds," said Dunn, noting the agency added a couple northbound trains to its regular commuter service.
Still, Caltrains were packed with riders at 8 a.m. At the Millbrae BART-Caltrain station, Josephine Chen, 25, said she was running late for her internship in downtown San Francisco. She normally takes BART to the Powell Street station but would have to catch a bus downtown from the Caltrain terminal.
San Francisco Bay Ferry said it carried 7,835 riders this morning, up from 2,500 on a typical morning.
There was little patience for BART or its workers among some commuters catching the ferry to Oakland from San Francisco's waterfront.
"It sucks," said Richard Mumolo, 55, of Oakland, who was on his way home after working the night shift as a security guard. "I'm going to end up paying for their raise because apparently making more than twice what I do is not enough."
Ferries were packed full, with usual riders saying passengers were up by two thirds over a normal day. K.C. Frogge, 57, of Oakland, has been taking the ferry for more than a decade to her office manager job in San Francisco and said most days she sees about 120 people, but it was more than 300 on Monday.
"Most people were like zombies, like 'just give me a seat,'" she said. "It's crowded to the gills."
In Alameda, officials say they are offering additional parking spaces near the city's two ferry terminals to help commuters who wish to travel to San Francisco today. Deputy City Manager Alex Nguyen said a shuttle service and free valet bicycle parking is available at the Main Street terminal. Satellite parking and a shuttle service is also available at the city-owned Chuck Corica Golf Complex for commuters who are using the terminal on Bay Farm Island near the Oakland International Airport.
Alameda police say they will be relaxing parking enforcement near both ferry terminals. But police also say they will still ticket those responsible for flagrant violations, such as blocking driveways, sidewalks and fire hydrants.
Already a popular way of commuting for many San Francisco-bound workers in the East Bay, the number of commuters getting carpool rides from strangers surged on Monday.
Graphic designer Kim Ciabattari usually walks to the Rockridge BART station in Oakland. On Monday, she instead walked an extra block to a "casual carpool" spot beneath Highway 24 where drivers wait to pick up at least two riders -- enough to get in the carpool lane heading to the Bay Bridge.
"It's a slight inconvenience but I think it's worth it," Ciabattari said. "I support workers' rights."
Harrison Sen, 24, who works in San Carlos, was waiting for a coworker to pick him up to drive him to their construction job.
"This kind of sucks," he said. Usually "I leave at 4 p.m. and get home around 6 p.m., but it's probably going to be 7 or 8 p.m. tonight."
Rental cars and taxis
Bay Area ride services Uber, Lyft and Sidecar said they put as many drivers as they could on the road and jumped on social media networks to recruit commuters who needed to get to work.
By 9:30 a.m., Sidecar reported a 40 percent increase in rides over last Monday, and had increased the number of drivers on the road by 50 percent, said Margaret Ryan, vice president of communications.
"In times of crisis, this is when alternative transportation services like Sidecar are at their best," Rachael King, national social media manager for Sidecar, wrote in a blog post on the company website.
Avego, a Website and app that helps Bay Area commuters set up carpools, is offering an even faster way for commuters to get home Monday afternoon -- a helicopter. The company is partnering with a local radio station to give four East Bay residents a helicopter ride home from San Francisco at 6 p.m.
With many car rental sites in San Francisco already booked solid through the Fourth of July weekend, stranded commuters were unable to make last-minute reservations.
Zipcar, the car-sharing service and car club, didn't appear to be an alternative for Bay Area commuters, as several lots around San Francisco remained full. Most Zipcar customers use the service, which has a membership fee and per-use charge, to run errands or drive to meeting during the work day -- but not for getting to work.
Staff at the Avis and Budget rental site in the city's SoMa neighborhood, however, were worried that heavy traffic during the afternoon commute would delay car returns. That, one employee said, would mean cars may not be ready for customers with reservations tonight or tomorrow morning.
Monday was supposed to be the first day of a four-month pilot program that would allow bicycle commuters on BART during commute hours, adding another layer of frustration for bicycle advocates.
Robert Prinz, education director of the East Bay Bicycle Coalition, however, said he was happy to see lots of bicyclists being accommodated on San Francisco-bound ferries leaving from the Jack London Square terminal in Oakland.
"There are more bikes than usual and that's good to see," Prinz said. "When it's jam packed like today, we suggest people bring a bungee cord to secure their bikes on the boat."
Emma Deboncoeur, a UC Berkeley summer school student who usually takes BART from her West Oakland home, rode to school and was slightly sweaty in the warm weather as she parked her bike.
"Well I'm from Berkeley so I'm OK showing up to class smelly and sweaty," Deboncoeur said.
City strike
City of Oakland workers were also on strike Monday but were set to return to their jobs Tuesday.
At a community rally, city and BART workers stood together in solidarity. Presidents from the SEIU and ATU chapters spoke to those gathered at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland and received cheers and applause.
"We stand in solidarity with every working family member that is on strike," Bryant said. "We are on strike today for respect, for safety, for fair labor practices and for our families."
Bryant asked those in the crowd to remove four quarters from their pocket, after which she told them this is what BART had offered workers as a pay raise. The announcement received a chorus of boos from the crowd gathered.
The BART strike comes a day after the rail line's busiest Sunday ever. The agency carried more than 276,000 one-way trips on Sunday, beating the previous record of 259,000 trips set during the 2012 gay pride parade.

Manchester aldermen to consider leashes, muzzles for dogs
Such dogs also would need to be enrolled in behavioural modification training.
"These (cases) are few and far between," Ward 3 Alderman Pat Long said Friday. "It's not a majority of irresponsible dog owners. However, those that aren't responsible, unfortunately, we have to make them responsible."
Police Lt. Maureen Tessier said the ordinance will assist the department's animal control officers by "spelling out more specific responsibilities they can have in dealing with a vicious dog," Tessier said.
The ordinance also calls for those designated dogs to be:
• Physically restrained on private property by fencing sufficient to keep the animal from jumping or climbing over it;
• Identified by microchip or tattooing with documentation to be submitted to the city;
• Banned from entering any public "off leash" dog park within the city
It also requires owners of such dogs to notify the City Clerk's Office when the dog dies, moves or is given over to new owners.
As of Friday, the city had 10,771 licensed dogs, according to the City Clerk's Office.
Shelley Greenglass, manager of the Manchester Animal Shelter, applauded the ordinance.
She said each incident should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
"It's not all pit bulls. It can be any dog," said Greenglass, who has discussed the proposal with an alderman. "You put it on the owner to be responsible."
"I just wish people will be more responsible," Greenglass said. "You can't tell me a dog that just bit, the owners didn't see something along the way to try to correct the problem or were putting the dog in a bad situation."
Aldermen have been working on the issue for about a year.
"It's been a long time in the making," he said.

6. Partial list of violations and fine amounts:
(areas marked by red line on curb) - $50.00

8. Serious moving violation citations will be written on State of Texas citations and will be handled in Texarkana, Texas Municipal Court. This can also include Handicapped Parking violations
7. Impoundment or Immobilizing
The term "Impoundment" includes the removal, towing and storage of the vehicle in question. All Impoundment fees are the responsibility of the registered owner of the vehicle if no permit is on the vehicle. The A&M-Texarkana Police Department is authorized to impound or immobilize unattended vehicles on campus under the following conditions:
2. Displaying a lost, stolen or unauthorized parking permit.
3. Unauthorized vehicle parked in a reserved space.
4. Parking in a "Fire Lane" which is designated by red lines or red curb.

10. Any vehicle obviously abandoned on A&M-Texarkana property.
11. Any other circumstance not expressly enumerated where public safety is threatened by the presence of the vehicle.
8. Appeals Procedure
A&M-Texarkana has established a Parking and Traffic Appeals Committee for University citations. The committee has the duty of hearing parking ticket appeals from any person who feels that they were wrongfully ticketed. Anyone who receives an A&M-Texarkana citation may appeal the citation to the campus Parking and Traffic Appeals Committee within seven (7) business days of receiving the citation. The fine will be put on hold until the appeal process is complete. Persons making an appeal should follow the below procedures:
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure is to establish operations procedures and to maintain a consistent course of action for rendering vehicles immobile. In addition, it will standardize the paperwork needed and will prevent confusion on proper procedures.
2. Scope
This policy is applicable to all employees of the University Police Department and the Security Officers.
3. Definitions
4. Procedures
A. When a vehicle has received three or more citations violating the policies of A&M - Texarkana, then the UPD has the authority to render the vehicle immobile by utilizing the MITI- Immobilizer. Once it is determined by the Chief of Police, or his designee, that a vehicle needs to be booted, the yellow Administrative Copies of all of the citations for the vehicle will be placed in the Open case folder in the UPD.
B. When such a vehicle is located on the A&M – Texarkana property the boot may be installed on the vehicle according to its instructions. The officer shall attach the neon Immobilizer Notice in a conspicuous place that a reasonable person would locate on the vehicle. After the boot is applied, the UPD shall complete the "Installed" portion of the "VI" form and it will be attached to the citations in the Open case file in the UPD. The officer will ensure that a new Incident number is assigned to the case.
C. When the owner of the vehicle responds to the UPD, payments will be processed according to standard procedure. If the owner of the vehicle cannot pay the fine in full, they will be offered the "Fine Agreement." The owner must provide a valid state issued identification or the A&M - Texarkana student identification card. The "Fine Agreement" portion of the form shall be completed entirely by the UPD. If any of the citations are in reference to a no parking sticker then the agreement is contingent on the owner purchasing the standard $25 parking sticker at this time. The UPD will have the owner sign the "Fine Agreement" portion of the document and they will be given a photo copy of the "VI" document. After the payment has been processed and the "VI" form has been completed then the UPD will remove the boot from the owner's vehicle. At this time the UPD will release the vehicle to the owner. The UPD shall verify that the "Removed" portion of the "VI" form has been completed, and this will ensure that all appropriate steps have been taken during the process and the incident has been properly closed.
D. If the owner defaults on the terms of the "VI" then the UPD has the right to immobilize the vehicle again utilizing the boot. The Chief of Police, or his designee, will determine if a vehicle needs to be booted for the second time. A new "VI" form will be attached to the yellow Administrative Copies of all of the citations and a copy of the original "VI" form and they will all be placed in the Open case folder in the UPD.
E. When the owner of the vehicle responds to the UPD, payments will be processed according to standard policy. The UPD will not remove the boot from the vehicle until any unpaid fines are paid in full. Once the fines are paid in full by the owner, the UPD will remove the boot from the vehicle. The UPD will only complete the "Removed" portion of the second "VI" form because the fine was paid in full and a payment agreement was not an option. The owner will not receive a copy of the second "VI" form.

The first thing that I notice is the percentage of VESA users almost equals the percentage of VIA users.
Phoronix: 2009 Linux Graphics Survey Results
For the month of November we ran the 2009 Linux Graphics Survey, which is a survey in regards to X.Org and the Linux graphics stack that we have been hosting annually for the past three years. This year there was 13,836 results submitted and we have now had the time to go over these results and are publishing all of the numbers today.
The first thing that I notice is the percentage of VESA users almost equals the percentage of VIA users.
Looking at the distributions of various things, I was wondering: next year, why not run the questions by the community before posting them. Do some brainstorming and get some idea of what questions may be problematic, or hard to contextualise.
For example, brand is pretty easy but driver is not so much. What hardware are they using? R100-R200? R300-R500? That sort of thing. How many of those nVidia users are on the legacy drivers? Which legacy driver?
Also, there need to be more "none of the above" choices. How many people aren't using any of the X.org display features? Because everyone can select multiple things, there's a loss of context.
The seventh question could probably use an option for "autodetection". That's more or less what I use on any machine I set up these days, and the closest option is "manually editing xorg.conf"-- not quite the same. The option conflates two types of users. (This isn't to say that I won't bust out vim on the thing myself on occasion; I'm well familiar with that file and its simple syntax. X.org is just getting better and better about not needing to do so.)
The desktop resolution question seems prone to misleading data. There is a proponderance of annoyingly low-resolution 1280x800 screens on many laptops, thus skewing the low-range and not allowing us a clear picture of who is running older hardware versus newer devices like nettops. And it doesn't account for common, but weird-ass things like 1680x1050: where does that go?
The key-interests question would probably be best served with a "choose the top three items"-type question and get numbers that way.
The "Active Linux Tasks" could use "other" or "none of the above" options, so as to get a better idea of how many people are actually working. The last question has similar issues, in my opinion. What's a "mainstream user"? Are developers really something you could call "mainstream"? I don't feel it is; not many people know what programming entails at all.
Still, the numbers we've got are the numbers we've got, and they're still decently interesting. Thanks again, Michael.
What I found interesting was if you add up the users of the various ATI drivers, and add up the users of the various nvidia drivers, the numbers are very very close.
Given the difference in uses of ATI cards versus nvidia, it would seem to suggest that most of the VESA driver users would have nvidia cards.
Well some use both (or even all 3) drivers for ATI depending on purpose. So summing up is not always the correct way.
I'd love to use TV-Out... but don't have time to program it.
I have two suggestions for next year's survey. First, make it clear at the top of the forum that you should fill out the form once per computer you have (I filled it out taking into account my three computers, and when I got to the end it said "now fill it out again if you have another computer").
The second suggestion is similar to what Wyatt proposed. You should ask not only what (or how old) hardware they have (which makes a big difference for ATI users, I'm among the users who are stuck with the open source ATI driver after ATI dropped support), but a question getting at whether the user bought new hardware during the past year (or what hardware they would buy in the future), or if they recently switched drivers, etc. These types of questions would help determine whether people are switching in droves to (or from) any one vendor due to a change in their policies (again, I would have a hard time buying another ATI card after they decided to drop support for my less than 3 year old, still under warranty laptop).
- Ben
Wish they would fix the All-In-Wonder parts so the 9800's could operate independently of the driver.

Title 7 published on 2014-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 7 CFR 1465 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-17993 RIN 0578-AA60 Docket No. NRCS-2014-0006 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Commodity Credit Corporation Interim rule with request for comment. Effective Date: This rule is effective August 1, 2014. Comment date: Submit comments on or before September 30, 2014. 7 CFR Parts 610, 622, 625, 652, and 662 The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Act) made several, nondiscretionary changes to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation programs. These conservation programs have existing regulations that require adjustments, including addressing the required review of operating procedures of the State Technical Committee, adding reference of the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) to the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act program regulations, adding reference of the RCPP to, and expanding the definition of, "acreage owned by Indian Tribes" under the Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP), revising and simplifying the Regional Equity provision, and adjusting the Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA) program to correspond with changes to payment provisions under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Additionally, the Secretary of Agriculture has delegated to NRCS administrative responsibility for implementation of the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) and internal NRCS administrative changes warrant updating the appropriate delegated official in the technical service provider (TSP) provision. This interim rule, with request for comments, implements changes to these NRCS conservation program regulations that are either necessitated by enactment of the 2014 Act or are required to implement administrative streamlining improvements and clarifications.

People are lazy & wanted things handed to them. I know girls who voted for Obama because he's gonna give them birth control pills. I know students who voted for Obama simply so they can continue to get huge pell grants instead of having to take out loans & pay for their own education. I'm sure the 43 million on welfare voted for Obama so they can continue to get paid for sitting on their ass.
It is funny that you say this because the states that voted for Romney are the ones that receive the most aid from the government.

Very good (and smart)
My entry has 2 elements from the challenge. Green for Spring - the sauce is a bunch of fresh jalapeño chiles, garlic, salt, sugar, & vinegar chopped into a course sauce in the food processor. If your taste buds are dead or dormant, this zesty, powerful sauce will bring them back to life. Booyah!

On Friday, November 5, the Inland Northwest PH Support Group celebrated its Eighth Annual Fundraising Luncheon at the historic Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Wash. In addition to being a fundraising luncheon, the event also celebrates the support group's anniversary. Support Group Leader Linda Pall founded both the support group and luncheon in 2003. After eight years of dedicated service, Linda is stepping down as luncheon planner and will pass the torch to others in the support group.
The group, which covers Western Montana, Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington, originally held the luncheon with the purpose of gathering together for a day of support and fellowship. The event includes an awards ceremony honoring one outstanding patient, caregiver, medical professional and patient employer through a nomination process. Additionally, guest speakers, from leading medical professionals to this year's speaker, Carl Hicks, Jr., PHA's Immediate Past-Chair of the Board of Trustees, have been a staple of the event.
Thanks to Linda's guidance, the luncheon has grown to include sponsorship and fundraising components that support PHA's research program. By inviting pharmaceutical companies to host sponsorship tables at the event and incorporating a silent auction into the day's happenings, the luncheon has become a multi-faceted function. This year's event added a fun twist to the silent auction by including Thanksgiving-themed baskets for bid, and the local Dozier Jazz Duo performed for attendees.
With the successful completion of the eighth luncheon, Linda now hands the reins over to others. Her work with the Annual Fundraising Luncheon has provided an invaluable opportunity for members and families to gather in celebration while also emphasizing the importance of raising funds for PH research. We thank her for her dedication and spirit through the years.

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
Apple device owners visit more and spend more.
Lately I've been asking retailers a key question about mobile commerce. Who rules mobile shopping: Apple or Android? I keep getting the same answer. It's Apple, by a mile.
This is important in light of the fact that smartphones running Google Inc.'s Android mobile operating system far outpace Apple Inc.'s iPhone in terms of smartphone market share. Android phones account for 52.5% of smartphones in use while iPhones account for 34.3%, according to mobile and web measurement firm comScore Inc. On the other side of mobile, Apple dominates the tablet market. The iPad has a 76.4% market share, according to research firm eMarketer Inc. Android and a handful of other players account for the remaining 23.6%.
Cory Pulice, vice president of e-commerce at e.l.f. cosmetics, was kind enough to open up his Google Analytics for me and he tells the real story in m-commerce. At e.l.f. cosmetics, from Oct. 1 through Dec. 16, 69.02% of mobile traffic came from devices running Apple's iOS mobile operating system while 29.25% came from Android smartphones and tablets. Revenue numbers are even more telling. For the same period, 78.59% of mobile sales stemmed from an iOS device while only 20.74% came from an Android device. Apple's iPad rules e.l.f. cosmetics' mobile sales with a 49.50% share. No Android tablets break into the top 10 devices at e.l.f. cosmectics, and the device in the No. 10 slot for revenue gets a 0.42% share, so it's fair to deduce that the share belonging to Android tablets is small.
According to comScore, Android commands the smartphone market. But look at e.l.f. cosmetics: The iPhone accounts for 27.48% of mobile sales while the nearest competing Android smartphone, the Motorola Droid Razr 4G, accounts for a mere 0.78% of mobile sales. Since we know that 20.74% of revenue came from an Android device, I would cut three or four percentage points off for Android tablets and say that 17% of mobile sales came from all Android smartphones combined, compared with 27.48% coming from the iPhone alone.
Let's look around. 22.5% of web-only jeweler Ice's total traffic is mobile; 14% from smartphones and 8.5% from tablets, Ice says. More than 70% of mobile traffic stems from an Apple device.
Owners of the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod Touch are the most lucrative mobile shoppers for Wine.com. More than 90% of mobile sales stem from an Apple device, CEO Rich Bergsund says.
"It's about our demographic," Bergsund explains. "The Wine.com demographic is an affluent and educated group, and that's the sweet spot for mobile devices Apple sells. They charge a premium and they are worth it, and those consumers are our demographic. Plus, the user interface is easier on Apple than other platforms; most mobile sites work better on an iPhone than on other alternatives."
Let's go across the pond and check on Apple and Android. During the last week of November beginning Nov. 25, 43.48% of mobile traffic to the U.K. affiliate network of Affiliate Window was from iPads, 32.46% from iPhones, 18.29% from Android devices, 1.62% from BlackBerrys and 4.15% from other mobile devices, Affiliate Window reports. January through November, 59% of mobile sales came from iPads, 24% from iPhones, 12% from Android devices, 3% from BlackBerrys and 2% from other mobile devices, Affiliate Window says. That gives Apple a commanding 83% share of mobile sales.
"Apple users are typical early adopters. They're generally tech-savvy individuals who embrace new ways of interacting and transacting online," says Kevin Edwards, strategy director at Affiliate Window. "Given the higher purchase barrier to entry for iPhones this tends to indicate users have higher disposable incomes. It may be purely anecdotal but there is also a sense that Apple users are more comfortable and confident shoppers who don't have the same reservations when buying online. I think this also extends to the iPad. We typically see conversion rates for the iPad outstrip standard desktop rates coupled with higher average order values, making the traffic and consumer particularly attractive to retailers."
OK, back to the States. 50% of total HauteLook traffic now stems from mobile devices, says Greg Bettinelli, chief marketing officer. 55% of that traffic is from smartphones while 45% is from tablets. 50-55% of mobile traffic comes from iPhones, 40-45% from iPads, and less than 5% from Android devices.
"Tablet transactions are on average 50% bigger than ones on iPhones," Bettinelli says. "If we make $2 for every person on an iPhone, we make $2.50 for desktop users and $3 for iPad shoppers. An iPad is a pre-qualifier for a better customer, a lot of our better customers have iPads. I can't say it's fully because of the device. The device is a good experience, but it's not that much better than the computer, so it's as much about the customer who uses that device. An iPad is an indicator of the quality of a customer."
That goes for iPhones and iPod Touch devices, too. Any Apple device is an indicator of a higher quality customer. These consumers shop more and they buy more. In my opinion, Apple users are more dedicated to the mobile web and apps. They're buying a premium device not to talk on a phone but to make extensive use of wireless data services, in other words, to browse the web and use apps. And they have more disposable income than Android users. Just look at the difference in how the phones are marketed. If you want an iPhone, be prepared to spend at least $200. On the flipside, wireless carriers are giving away Android phones if you sign a contract. You've got Android smartphones in the hands of some people who don't even care what kind of phone they've got, as long as it was free.

If you are exploring ways to give to the Business Honors Program, your property opens the door to a unique philanthropic opportunity: donate the property to the Business Honors Program, either now or whenever you no longer need it.
If you've owned your home or other real estate for a long time, it has most likely increased in value. What happens if you sell the property? In many circumstances, should you not meet the requirements of available tax breaks, you must pay capital gains tax on the property's appreciation. Plus, marketing and selling real estate takes time and effort, even if you use professional assistance.

Other than the fact that I have had issues understanding some of the words in the book, this book has helped me a lot when it comes to analytical chemistry. The schematics and figures definitely helped me with the text. This book is very informative.

Principles of Instrumental Analysis helped with important chemistry lab data collection techniques. Lots of great detail that makes this a fantastic reference book. -
It should provide more practice problems. I wish it provided better explanations of how the answers to problems can be solved.

Pictures of the instruments and how it works is really good. -
The class that required me to use this book was an upper level physical chemistry class. I had to buy a few different books for this class and this was one of them. We didnt use it all that frequently, it was just more of a reference book.

Learned how to wprk with different instruments. The book was not used all that frequently, just more of a reference book. -
It helped greatly. The only thing bad about it is the appendix. It will list the same vocab word multiple times, instead of once with multiple page numbers.
