San Diego International Airport (IATA: SAN, ICAO: KSAN, FAA LID: SAN), also known as Lindbergh Field, is an international airport 3 mi (4.8 km) northwest of downtown San Diego, California, United States. It is operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.[2][3]
San Diego International is the busiest single-runway commercial airport in the United States.[4] It is also the second-busiest single-use runway in the world after Gatwick Airport[5][6] with about 465 scheduled operations carrying 48,000 passengers each day; a total of 18,756,997 passengers in 2014. San Diego is the largest metropolitan area in the United States that is not an airline hub or secondary hub; however, San Diego is a focus city for Southwest Airlines.
The top five carriers in San Diego, by seat capacity, are Southwest Airlines (42.7%), American Airlines (14.0%), United Airlines (11.2%), Alaska Airlines (10.1%), and Delta Air Lines (9.9%).[7]
The airport has domestic flights, as well as international flights to Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Japan.
Convair had aircraft manufacturing plants near the field and used it for test and delivery flights from 1935 to 1995.[8]

The airport is near the site of the Ryan Airlines factory, but it is not the same as Dutch Flats, the Ryan airstrip where Charles Lindbergh flight tested the Spirit of St. Louis before his historic 1927 transatlantic flight. The site of Dutch Flats is on the other side of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, in the Midway area, near the current intersection of Midway and Barnett avenues.[9]
Inspired by Lindbergh's flight and excited to have made his plane, the city of San Diego passed a bond issue in 1928 for the construction of a two-runway municipal airport. Lindbergh encouraged the building of the airport and agreed to lend his name to it.[10] The new airport, dedicated on August 16, 1928, was San Diego Municipal Airport – Lindbergh Field.
The airport was the first federally certified airfield to serve all aircraft types, including seaplanes. The original terminal was on the northeast side of the field, on Pacific Highway. The airport was also a testing facility for several early U.S. sailplane designs, notably those by William Hawley Bowlus (superintendent of construction on the Spirit of St. Louis) who also operated the Bowlus Glider School at Lindbergh Field from 1929–1930. On June 1, 1930, a regular San Diego – Los Angeles airmail route started. The airport gained 'international airport' status in 1934, and a United States Coast Guard Air Base next to the field was commissioned in April 1937. The Coast Guard's fixed-wing aircraft used Lindbergh Field until the mid-1990s when the fixed-wing aircraft were retired.
The Army Air Corps took over the field in 1942, improving it to handle the heavy bombers being manufactured in the region. This transformation, including an 8,750 ft (2,670 m) runway, made the airport "jet-ready' long before jet airliners came into service.[11] The May 1952 C&GS chart shows 8700-ft runway 9 and 4500-ft runway 13.
Pacific Southwest Airlines established its headquarters in San Diego and started service at Lindbergh Field in 1949. The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows 42 departures per day: 14 American, 13 United, 6 Western, 6 Bonanza, and 3 PSA (5 PSA on Friday and Sunday). American had a nonstop flight to Dallas and one to El Paso; aside from that, nonstop flights did not reach beyond California and Arizona. Nonstop flights to Chicago started in 1962 and to New York in 1967.
The first scheduled jet flights at Lindbergh Field were in 1960, American Airlines Boeing 720s to Phoenix and United Airlines 720s to San Francisco.
The original terminal was on the north side of the airport and was used until the 1960s; the current Terminal 1 opened on the south side of the airport on March 5, 1967. It was not until July 11, 1979 that Terminal 2 opened. These terminals were designed by Paderewski Dean & Associates.[12] A third terminal, dubbed the Commuter Terminal, opened July 23, 1996. Terminal 2 was expanded by 300,000 square feet (27,871 m2) in 1998, opening on January 7, 1998. The expanded Terminal 2 and the Commuter Terminal were designed by Gensler and SGPA Architecture and Planning.[13][14] As downtown San Diego developed, the airport's 3600-ft second runway was closed as its short length provided no operational benefits other than to support the smallest of aircraft.
Built and operated by the City of San Diego through the sale of municipal bonds to be repaid by airport users, then the San Diego Unified Port District, the airport is now operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
The Green Build[edit]
San Diego International Airport's expansion program, dubbed "The Green Build", is expected to help the airport meet current and future travel demands. Opened on August 13, 2013, the project focuses on expansion and enhancements at Terminal 2. Additions include 10 gates on the west side of Terminal 2 West, a two-level roadway separating arriving and departing passengers, additional security lanes, and an expanded concession area.[15]
Destination Lindbergh[edit]
On February 8, 2008, SANDAG and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority discussed long-term future measures with three goals: (1) optimize the airport, (2) improve transit to the airport region-wide, and (3) reduce traffic congestion near the airport.[16] They created the Ad Hoc Airport Regional Policy Committee, chaired by then-San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders.[17] Destination Lindbergh was a year-long, comprehensive analysis that considered ground transportation, an intermodal transit center (ITC), passenger terminals, a consolidated rental car facility (CONRAC), airfield/airspace, environment, financial feasibility and regional development issues to ultimately produce a Draft Concept for the long-term development of Lindbergh Field. On March 23, 2009 the Airport Authority Board accepted the Destination Lindbergh Draft Concept for public distribution and directed that an invitation be sent to all stakeholders for future planning, and that the Concept establish benchmarks for operations, social and economic benefits, and transit ridership.[18]
The plan outlines three basic models of future development: north-centric (bordering Pacific Highway and Interstate 5), south-centric (where it is currently) and a hybrid version, with terminals on the south side, passenger processing, rental cars and parking on the north side, and an automated people mover connecting the two underneath the runway. The north-centric concept is hampered by the fact that the taxiway on the north side of the runway does not extend for the full runway length. For this plan to be developed, land would need to be acquired from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot to build the taxiway. Without this taxiway, all aircraft would have to land, exit the runway to the south, then cross the runway to get to the gates on the north side. This is the same reason that the Terminal (now Terminal 1) was constructed on the South side of the airfield in 1967.
Plans also outline dedicated I-5 on and off-ramps, and an 'intermodal transit hub' including a Coaster/Amtrak station, a stop for the San Diego Trolley system, and eventually a center for the southern terminus of the California High-Speed Rail line.[16] The approximate target date for completion of the project is 2035. In January 2013, then-mayor of San Diego Bob Filner stated that he had a plan to fast track efforts to make the plans a reality for San Diego. However, the airport is an independent agency and its planning is not controlled by the City.[19]
Flight operations[edit]
Runway configuration and landing[edit]
The airport consists of a single runway designated runway 9/27 for its magnetic compass headings of 094 and 274 degrees orienting it directly east and west in relation to magnetic north. The runway is an asphalt and concrete design with dimensions of 9,400 feet (2,900 m) x 200 feet (61 m). A displaced threshold exists in both directions. For runway 27 the first 1,810 feet (550 m) are displaced and for runway 9 the first 700 feet (210 m) are displaced.
Typical prevailing winds in San Diego are from the west and most takeoffs and landings at the airport are from east to west utilizing runway 27.
The approach from the east is steeper than most because the terrain drops from 266 ft (81 m) to sea level in less than one nautical mile. The runway is west of a hill with several obstructions, including Interstate 5 and trees in Balboa Park. Contrary to local lore, the parking structure off the end of the runway was built in the 1980s long after previous obstructions were built up east of I-5 and does not affect the approach.
Landing at the airport from the east offers closeup views of skyscrapers, Petco Park (home of the San Diego Padres), the San Diego Bay, and the San Diego–Coronado Bridge from the left side of the aircraft. On the right, Balboa Park, site of the 1915–1916 Panama-California Exposition, can be seen.
Reverse operations[edit]
Runway 27 (landing east to west), is a localizer-only approach and is unusable for landing when visibility drops below about 2 miles. This forces arriving aircraft to use Runway 9 (landing west to east). Because of the terrain east of the airport, weight limits are imposed on many departing aircraft depending on their required takeoff weights. As a result, some aircraft must take off to the west. While safe, these "head to head" operations slow the flow of aircraft for sequencing and create delays in the air and on the ground.
Terrain east and west of the airport greatly impacts the available runway length. Runway 27 (heading west) has a climb gradient of 353 ft/nmi (58.1 m/km) feet per nautical mile. Taking off to the east requires a 610 ft/nmi (100 m/km) climb rate.
Lindbergh Field does not have standard 1,000 ft (300 m) runway safety areas at the end of each runway. An engineered materials arrestor system (EMAS) has been installed at the west end of the runway to halt any aircraft overruns. The east end of the runway does not have such a system as its use would reduce the runway length by at least 400 ft (120 m), further impacting the runway's capability for departures to the west. Instead, the use of declared distances reduces the mathematical length of Runway 9 (west to east operations) by declaring that the easternmost end of Runway 9 is 1,121 feet shorter than it actually is (a net length of 8,280-feet).[20]
Noise curfew[edit]
SAN is in a populated area. To appease the concerns of the airport's neighbors regarding noise and possible ensuing lawsuits, a curfew was put in place in 1979. Departures are allowed between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Departures outside those hours are subject to a large fine. Arrivals are permitted 24 hours per day.[21] While several flights have scheduled departure times before 6:30 a.m., these times are pushback times; the first takeoff roll is at 6:30 a.m.
Current status[edit]
As of July 2014, San Diego International Airport is served by 22 passenger airlines and five cargo airlines which fly nonstop to 58 destinations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, and Japan. Several carriers including Alaska, Southwest, and Spirit have increased their respective share of flights to and from San Diego. Flights between SAN and Los Cabos MX, Dallas, Portland, Boston, Washington D.C./Baltimore, Burbank, and Tokyo are just a few of the newest routes added in 2014.[22]
British Airways resumed nonstop service to London Heathrow Airport on June 1, 2011 with Boeing 777-200ERs. The airline dropped the route in October 2003, after the worldwide downturn in aviation after 9/11. The airline had been flying nonstop to London Heathrow (previously London Gatwick on their 777-200s); however, previously the route had been flown from Gatwick via Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on a Boeing 747-400. After 9/11, the route was dropped to six days a week, then five, and then cancelled altogether. In June 2010 the European Union approved the new Atlantic Joint Business Agreement between British Airways, American Airlines, and Iberia Airlines, which dropped many of the provisions of the Bermuda II treaty and its restrictions on airlines flying to Heathrow. Oneworld members now can earn mileage on any American Airlines, British Airways, or Japan Airlines flight.[23]As of Sunday, March 27, 2016, British Airways will upgauge this flight from the current 3-class 777-200 to the 4-class 777-300, giving both a passenger and cargo capacity bump, as well as true first class seats.[24]
Japan Airlines began service to Tokyo-Narita on December 2, 2012, using the Boeing 787 aircraft. This is the airport's first nonstop flight to Asia. The flights used the 787 until its grounding when service was temporarily replaced with a 777-200ER. The last 777 flight was May 31, 2013. On June 1, 2013, 787 service resumed, this time daily. This route is covered under the Pacific Joint Business Agreement between Oneworld partners Japan Airlines and American Airlines.[25][26]
The busiest route by flight count is to Los Angeles with 25 daily round trips on United Express, American Eagle, and Delta Connection. The busiest route by available seats per day is to San Francisco with just over 2,816 seats on 21 daily round trips on United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Virgin America.
In January 2008, San Diego International Airport entered the blogosphere with the launch of the first employee blog – the Ambassablog[27] – for a major U.S. airport. Written by front-line employees, the blog features regular posts on airport activities, events, and initiatives; reader comments; and several multimedia and interactive features. It has been presented as a case study in employee blogging to several public agencies at the federal, state, and local levels.
In February 2008, San Diego International Airport was one of the first major airports in the U.S. to adopt a formal sustainability policy, which expresses the airport's commitment to a four-layer approach to sustainability known as EONS. As promulgated by Airports Council International – North America, EONS represents an integrated "quadruple bottom line" of (E)conomic viability, (O)perational excellence, (N)atural resource conservation and preservation and (S)ocial responsibility.
In May 2008, California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced an agreement with San Diego International Airport on reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with the airport's proposed master plan improvements. In announcing the agreement, the Attorney General's office said "San Diego airport will play a key leadership role in helping California meet its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets."
Public transport is on Metropolitan Transit System bus No. 992, which connects the airport to downtown San Diego's train station, where connections can be made to other bus routes and the San Diego Trolley, COASTER, and Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner.
San Diego International Airport is testing a new system of airfield lights called Runway Status Lights (RWSL) for the FAA. It completed the rehabilitation of the north taxiway in 2010. A project that included replacing its airfield lighting and signage with energy efficient LED lights where possible (LEDs are only permissible for use on Taxiway Lights, Obstruction Lights, Signage, and Medium Intensity Runway Lights at this time – the runway at San Diego uses High Intensity Runway Lights) and is in the process of constructing 10 new gates for Terminal 2 West.
Due to the airport's close proximity to downtown San Diego, FAA regulations do not allow any building in San Diego to be taller than 500 feet.
USCG operations[edit]
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) air station is in the southeast corner of the airfield. The installation originally supported fixed-wing seaplane operations, with seaplane ramps into the bay, and land-based fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing operations.
The air station is separated from the rest of the airfield, so USCG fixed-wing aircraft must cross North Harbor Drive, a busy, 6-lane city street, to reach the runway. Streetlight activation opens the locked gates to the airfield and the air station, and also stops traffic while aircraft are crossing the street. This was a common occurrence during the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, when CGAS San Diego had both HH-3F Pelican and HH-60J Jayhawk helicopters and HU-25 Guardian jets assigned. Today, this is an extremely rare occurrence, as CGAS San Diego's HU-25As have been reassigned and there are no fixed-wing aircraft currently assigned to the station.
Relocation proposals[edit]
California State Assembly Bill AB 93[28] created the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority in 2001. The SDCRAA projects that SAN will be constrained due to congestion between 2015–2022.[29] In June 2006, SDCRAA board members selected Marine Corps Air Station Miramar as its preferred site for a replacement airport, despite military objections. On November 7, 2006, San Diego County residents defeated an advisory relocation which included a joint use proposal measure.[30][31]
Multiple studies have been conducted on where to place an airport dating back to 1923. The first study developed the site location plan for Lindbergh field. Eighteen studies were conducted by private groups, most in the early days by those who were opposed to Lindbergh being built instead of on land set aside at what is now Montgomery Field. One was a revisiting of a study done in the 1980s by the City in 1994 when NAS Miramar closed as a naval air station and was then immediately transferred to the Marine Corps as a marine corps air station, MCAS Miramar. Another was by the City of San Diego in 1984 and another that started in 1996 and sat dormant with SANDAG until the Airport Authority was formed. This study is the first study ever done to look for a new site by an agency that actually had jurisdiction over the issue, and the first non-site specific comprehensive study of the entire region.
Three professors from UCSD, Fred Spiess, PhD, former director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography; Walter Munk, PhD, Secretary of the Navy/Chief of Naval Operations Chair for Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Frieder Seible, PhD, former dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering, proposed building a floating airport in deep water west of the end of Interstate 8 in Ocean Beach. Their plan would use Lindbergh Field terminals and parking facilities for passenger ticketing and security then whisk them by tram via Interstate 8 and an 'Archimedes bridge' to the floating airport, a trip of perhaps 15 minutes at 60 mph. Several groups have approached the Airport Board for sponsorship to apply for federal funds to develop the plan, but the proposal has never been given serious consideration. Now, the advent of 3D concrete printing and special polymerized, fiber-reinforced concrete mixes—an efficient method of construction—may make this proposal less expensive than building a new airport on land.[32][33]
Airport facilities[edit]
Terminal facilities[edit]
The airport has nearly completed a substantial expansion of concessions. A total of 73 new shops and food and beverage locations have opened throughout the terminals. [34]
Three airline lounges are located in the airport, all in Terminal 2: Delta SkyClub, United Club, and a joint Airspace Lounge/American Airlines Admirals Club.[35]
Other facilities[edit]
Endangered species habitat[edit]
A portion of the southeast infield at San Diego International Airport is set aside as a nesting site for the endangered California Least Tern. The least tern nests on three ovals from March through September. The birds lay their eggs in the sand and gravel surface at the southwest end of the airfield. The San Diego Zoological Society monitors the birds from May through September. The terns nest on the airfield because they do not have to compete with beach goers and the airport fence keeps dogs and other animals out, while the airplane activity helps keep predatory hawks away from the nests. Approximately 135 nests were established there in 2007.[36]
Lindbergh has three terminals:
- Terminal 1
- Terminal 1 is composed of two parts: East and West, and has 19 gates, numbered 1A and 1–18.
- Terminal 2
- Terminal 2 is composed of two parts: East and West, and has 32 gates, numbered 20–51.
- All international arrivals at Lindbergh are handled in Terminal 2 East at gates 20, 21 and 22.
- Commuter Terminal (Former)
- The Commuter Terminal had 4 gates, numbered 1–4. The last flight to use the Commuter Terminal was American Eagle flight #2883, which departed on the evening of June 3, 2015. The last flight of the night from LAX (which would in turn be the first flight on June 4, 2015) docked at Terminal 1. Today, the Commuter Terminal houses the administrative offices of The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.[37]
The airport is home to the largest airport USO center in the world.[38]
The airport promotes education about its long history,[39] and sponsors an "airport explorers" program.[40]
There are several well-known pieces of artwork on display at the airport.[41] Inside terminal 2 is a recreation of The Spirit of St. Louis. A popular piece with tourists is At The Gate which depicts comical characters patiently waiting for their planes.[42] Terminal 2 also features "The Spirit of Silence," a meditation room designed by public artist Norie Sato[43]

Nearby airports[edit]
Tijuana International Airport is directly adjacent to the Mexico – United States border. The Tijuana airport offers intercontinental nonstop flights to Shanghai, China twice per week as well as to many destinations within Mexico. Tijuana used to have flights to Tokyo-Narita, however this flight now only operates as a westbound fuel stop to Narita. The eastbound operation operates nonstop between Tokyo and Mexico City. When Aeroméxico began to offer flights from Tijuana to Asia, it hoped to attract passengers from both sides of the border, including those from as far away as Orange County. The airline offers complimentary shuttle service from San Diego.[48] Various proposals for cross-border terminals have been discussed over the years and a Presidential permit for the border crossing was issued in the summer of 2010.
McClellan-Palomar Airport is located approximately 35 miles north in the city of Carlsbad. The airport was served by SkyWest Airlines dba United Express with daily service to Los Angeles International Airport. It is planned to be the main base for a new startup airline, California Pacific Airlines.
Montgomery Field is located approximately 6 miles north of downtown San Diego.
Gillespie Field is located approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown San Diego.
Naval Air Station North Island is located directly across San Diego Bay from Lindbergh Field, approximately 1.5 mi (2.4 km) to the south.
MCAS Miramar is located 13 miles northeast of Lindbergh Field.
Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach is located 14 miles south of San Diego and within the city limits of Imperial Beach, California.
World War II-era[edit]
- On June 2, 1942, the first British Consolidated LB-30 Liberator II, AL503, on its acceptance flight for delivery from the Consolidated Aircraft Company plant at San Diego, California, crashed into San Diego Bay[49] when the flight controls froze, killing all five civilian crew, CAC Chief Test Pilot William Wheatley, co-pilot Alan Austen, flight engineer Bruce Kilpatrick Craig, and two chief mechanics, Lewis McCannon and William Reiser. Craig, who had been commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve in 1935 following Infantry ROTC training at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering, had applied for a commission in the Army Air Corps before his death. This was granted posthumously, with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, and on August 25, 1941, the airfield in his hometown of Selma, Alabama was renamed Craig Field, later Craig Air Force Base.[50] Investigation into the cause of the accident caused a two-month delay in deliveries, so the RAF did not begin receiving Liberator IIs until August 1941.
- On May 10, 1943, the first Consolidated XB-32 Dominator, 41–141, crashed on take-off at Lindbergh Field, probably from flap failure. Although the bomber did not burn when it piled up at end of runway, Consolidated's senior test pilot Dick McMakin was killed. Six others on board were injured.[51] This was one of only two twin-finned B-32s (41–142 was the other) – all subsequent had a PB4Y-style single tail.
- On November 22, 1944, Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, BuNo 59544, on a pre-delivery test flight by company crew out of Lindbergh Field, took off at 1223 hrs., lost its port outer wing on climb-out, and crashed one quarter-mile further on in a ravine in an undeveloped area of Loma Portal near the Navy Training Center, less than two miles (3 km) from point of lift-off. All crew were killed, including pilot Marvin R. Weller, co-pilot Conrad C. Cappe, flight engineers Frank D. Sands and Clifford P. Bengston, radio operator Robert B. Skala, and Consolidated Vultee field operations employee Ray Estes. A wing panel came down on home at 3121 Kingsley Street in Loma Portal. Cause was found to be 98 missing bolts; the wing was only attached with four spar bolts. Four employees who either were responsible for installation, or who had been inspectors who signed off on the undone work, were fired two days later. A San Diego coroner's jury found Consolidated Vultee guilty of "gross negligence" by vote of 11–1 on January 5, 1945, and the Bureau of Aeronautics reduced its contract by one at a cost to firm of $155,000. Consolidated Vultee paid out $130,484 to the families of the six dead crew.[52]
- On April 5, 1945, the prototype Ryan XFR-1 Fireball, BuNo 48234, piloted by Ryan test pilot Dean Lake, on a test flight over Lindbergh Field, lost skin between the front and rear spars of the starboard wing, interrupting airflow over the wing and causing it to disintegrate. The pilot bailed out and the airframe broke up. Wreckage struck brand new Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, BuNo 59836, just accepted by the Navy and preparing to depart for the modification center at Litchfield Park, Arizona. The bomber burns and the Navy crew of pilot Lt. D. W. Rietz, Lt. J. E. Creed, and Aviation Machinists Mates G. R. Brown and J. H. Randall, evacuated the burning PB4Y, with only Randall suffering injuries of first, second, and third degree burns and minor lacerations.[53]
- April 30, 1945: Just before midnight this date, first production Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer, BuNo 59359, was being prepared on the ramp at Lindbergh Field for a flight to NAS Twin Cities, Minneapolis, Minnesota. A mechanic attempted to remove the port battery solenoid, located 14 inches below the cockpit floor, but did so without disconnecting the battery. Ratchet wrench accidentally punctured a hydraulic line three inches above the battery and fluid ignited, setting entire aircraft alight. The mechanic suffered severe burns. Only the number four (starboard outer) engine was deemed salvageable. Cause was an unqualified mechanic attempting a task that only a qualified electrician should undertake.[54]
Post-World War II[edit]
- On the morning of September 25, 1978, a Boeing 727-200 operating flight PSA Flight 182 on the Sacramento-Los Angeles-San Diego Route collided in mid-air with a Cessna 172 while attempting to land at San Diego Airport. The two aircraft collided over San Diego's North Park, killing all 135 people on Flight 182 and the two people on the Cessna, along with 7 people on the ground.
Recognition and awards[edit]
- Airports Council International (ACI) ranked San Diego-Lindbergh Field the No. 4 best airport in North America in 2007. ACI also ranked SAN the No. 2 best airport in the world with 15–25 million passengers in 2007.[55] ACI also ranked SAN the No. 3 best airport in the world with 15–25 million passengers in 2008.

Sweden to allow text messages instead of stamps
updated 06:55 pm EST, Mon March 7, 2011
System returns a confirmation code
The Swedish postal service is considering a new service that will allow customers to pay for postage using text messages rather than traditional stamps. According to a report in The Local, the messaging system will respond with a coded number, which can be written on a letter as proof of postage payment.
Officials have yet to finalize the plans or set a date for its deployment, though the launch is unlikely to occur before the summer, according to Anders Asberg, the head of marketing and development for the Swedish postal service.
The plans were likely inspired by neighbor Denmark, which will implement a similar service beginning in April.

1. Cleveland
"Jefferson, I think we're lost."--REM, "Little America"
When you look at the Cleveland skyline--say, in the middle of the night from the bed where you can't sleep in a corner room studded with tall windows on the 12th floor of the Marriot Hotel downtown on the first weekend of October--there's something balked and depressed about it. The high-rises, artlessly arranged on the city's grid, look grimy and don't gleam the way you'd expect; they seem altogether reluctant to rise into the air in that haughty way New York or LA skyscrapers do--those proud postmodern monoliths that, story piled on story, betray a cackling Trumpian triumphalism. Husks of old factories, some closed 20 years ago, continue their slow rust outside the downtown area. The pride of the city, insofar as pride shows, seems to be its squat sports stadiums--the Indians, Cavaliers and Browns each have their own hulking homes within a couple of miles of each other--but then again, they remind you of the curious blend of displaced rage and worship that characterizes so much of the sports world in the Midwest. (Someday, read James Wright's tortured poem "Autumn Begins in Martin's Ferry, Ohio," which tells of young football players who "grow suicidally beautiful . . . and gallop terribly against each other's bodies" as the only way out of the dead ends and vast repressions of Ohio life.) Then there's the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Museum, jutting its sharp gaudy angles into the sky against the backdrop of gray dirty Lake Erie, but Jesus, what a place that is: you can hardly imagine a more jaw-dropping shrine to the way rock capitulates to the twin lures of glitz and money. To an insomniac, the overall impression is of a sky, weighted and stifling, brooding over a city that seems like some broken-nosed, heavy-shouldered prizefighter who keeps going down, keeps getting up and fully expects to go down again.
In case you think it's just me being depressed here, not Cleveland, consider that I had flown into the city to see Bruce Springsteen and REM on the Vote for Change tour benefiting John Kerry's presidential candidacy, was nowhere near depressed, and was too excited to sleep. Consider, also, that Cleveland is the poorest big city in America: 270,000 jobs, 11,000 of them in August alone—which happens to be a quarter of all the jobs that have disappeared during the only administration since Herbert Hoover's to yield net job loss--have been lost in Ohio, many of them in its biggest city. Ohio's got one of the nation's highest unemployment rates, and Cleveland's got the highest poverty rate of any major city in the country. Virtually 50 percent of Cleveland's children live in households that fall beneath the poverty line. Almost half. No state's been hit harder by Bush's reverse-Robin Hood economic policies. Yet the state is still a swing state. Bush won it by four points in 2000, and up until Bush (refreshingly) fucked up the first presidential debate, he was up by eight.
Places like Ohio make you want to tear your hair out. It's hard to imagine a state whose citizens so repeatedly vote in ways diametrically opposed to their own interests. Losing manufacturing jobs? Okay, then, let's weaken labor laws, encourage outsourcing and give tax breaks to the superrich whose trickle down will feel like you're being pissed on. Worried about health care in your old age? Fine, let's reform Medicare so that the government can't use its huge buying power--can't utilize the free market Bush adores--to get discounts on prescription drugs from pharmaceutical companies that stand to rake in more billions as a result. Concerned that your government is sending your sons and daughters to fight and die in a war whose every stated reason for fighting has been undermined by the facts? Terrific, let's keep believing the administration's appallingly Orwellian insinuations that Saddam Hussein still had something to do with Sept. 11; that WMDs might still be found; that democracy will take root once fair elections take place in Iraq next January; that Iraqis feel liberated; that we have enough troops on the ground; that everybody who's not with us is against us; and that Bush's neocon handlers haven't since Sept. 12, 2001, been methodically angling for a way to twist the Twin Towers' fall into an excuse to crush Saddam's regime and turn Iraq into a compliant client-state, gushing crude for our Hummers.
Consider Ohio enough and the way it continues to cling to George W. Bush's arrogance of power and contempt for the facts, and you start inching toward the conclusion that Americans are gullible and lazy and would very much prefer not to have to do their own thinking. It makes you think that on the whole, Americans positively enjoy war and jump at almost any excuse to start blowing other people up. (We've got more than 200,00,000 guns in the country, and the pressure must build to start firing those fuckers.) It makes you think that a lot of people "love their country" and their leaders the way many four-year-olds love their parents--with a mixture of awe, blind need, complete trust and fear--which, to put it delicately, is not what Lincoln had in mind by "government of, by and for the people." It's enough to make you doubt the plausibility of democracy itself. It's enough to make you want to sing along with REM's lament to the nation's architect of democracy in "Little America"--that "Jefferson, I think we're lost."

text: I ride a MonoCog is the city, and i've got it with street slick tires on it. I find the stock bars on the bike to be way uncomfortably wide, so much so that I find myself holding onto the inside of the rise by the stem most of the time. This becomes a pain of course, if I have to stop quickly, and then rearrange my hands. It's also a pain, in the city, because the bars are too wide to get through tight traffic. Can you recommend a shorter riser bar? or even if bullhorns are possible to put on there? will this set up work, or will it compromise my control of the bike too much? thanks.

Rumours that Demi Moore is dating Peter Morton, the restaurant mogul and father of another of the actress' alleged flames Harry Morton have been slammed by sources close to the actress after the couple were reported to have been spotted on date together.
According to a report on E! Online, the 50-year-old actress was said to be dating Peter Morton, following her alleged split from his son in May this year.
"[They] become great friends during the dating process," a source reportedly told the website.
"They are into one another," a source said. "(He) is very charismatic and she loves that about him. He's a go-getter."
However an insider has insisted that the Ghost babe never dated either of the Morton men and that they've only ever been "good friends".
"It's complete nonsense," the insider reportedly told GossipCop. "She wasn't dating either of them."
"She has been friends with the family for a long time and they are making things up simply because they are single men. People just won't stop."
Earlier this week Demi was spotted with her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher. They were spotted at Burbank Airport together on Monday after catching a private jet together.
The former couple had been at the same tech concert in San Jose and afterwards caught a flight back to Los Angeles together, TMZ have reported. Despite the couple still settling their divorce, they appeared to be deep in conversation as they made their way through the airport before being approached by journalists.

According to the MailOnline, the couple parted cordially after ending their conversation due to the onset of the pap squad. Kutcher, who is a keen investor in technology and Moore split in November 2011 amid claims the Jobs actor had cheated on the Ghost actress with 22-year-old waitress Sara Leal.

This issue of Brethren Life & Thought presents four feature articles and five book reviews. Since this is the final issue for 2008 it also include an index for all the Volume 53 issues. In the first article Frank Ramirez offers a history of the development of the Mutual Aid Association (MAA) and attitudes in the church toward insurance as a matter of faith. In the second article Donald Miller writes about the way the Brethren in Nigeria and the Sudan understand the church's peace position, and what it means in their context. The final two articles, by Dale Stoffer of the Brethren Church, looks at the 1883 split that resulted in the Brethen Church. In the first of the two articles he examines attempts over a century to reunite the Brethren Church with the main body, which came to be known as the Church of the Brethren. In the second paper, he follows the ironic development of progressive ideas, originally the purview of the Brethren Church, but become the distinction of the Church of the Brethren in the twentieth century.
Mutual Aid in the Bible and the Early Church
by Frank Ramirez (pages 1-39)
Ramirez says, "Mutual Aid is never having things work out evenly." How is mutual aid different from insurance? Does insurance work out evenly?

The Brethren Witness and the Search for a Culture of Peace in Africa
by Donald Miller (pages 40-50)
Donald Miller asks whether the Church of the Brethren has made any difference in the development of Christian life and faith in Africa. What do you think?

The Ecumenical Dance of the Church of the Brethren and the Brethren Church
by Dale R. Stoffer (pages 51-56)
After three centuries of Christianity as a disorganized movement going in many directions, Emperor Constantine unified the church into one Holy Roman Church. What is gained by unity? What is lost? Should the Brethren groups strive for unity?

How the Closed Brethren Became Open
by Dale R. Stoffer (pages 57-64)
Stoffer believes the original Brethren were quite "open" before 1850. In what way would you say they were "open"? what were they open about?

Hard Start Kit Amana RCB302A
Posted 11 August 2011 - 01:31 AM
Today our A/C didn't work... on it's own. I noticed the outside fan wasn't working. We cooled it down, I had someone turn it on inside and I used a long stick to spin the fan and it started working. Of Course. when we finally cooled down inside and the unit shut off the fan wouldn't start on it's own.... I spun it again and it worked.
I am guessing this may be a capacitor issue??? I have no idea... Also, I don't have a tester that measures MFD, just a nice GREENLEE CM-450 digital clamp-on meter.
What should I test and how given the tools I have? Any help or advice?
Thanks in advance!
Posted 11 August 2011 - 06:25 AM
First turn off 220 volt power to the condenser.
To test the capacitor, set your meter to OHMs .
If you have a single capacitor with just 2 wires on it , remove one wire from the capacitor OR If you have a duel capacitor (it will have 3 terminals) remove the wire going to the "fan" terminal on the capcitor.( it will be the terminal with only one wire on it (brown in most cases)
Now put your meter leads on the 2 connectors of the capacitor or for a duel capacitor between "fan" and "common"
Here is what a good capacitor will read. The reading will be really high and constantly changing. you will see the numbers going in one direction and if you keep your probes on long enough , the whole thing will reverse and the numbers will start ticking the opposite direction.
If you get nothing . you have a bad capacitor(or a meter that cant read resistance that high. From the specs I see on your meter it should read ok.)
Oh and of course there is the visual test of the capacitor. Look at the top of the capacitor. It should be totally flat. if it bulging even a little bit , it is bad.

The problem is that the capacitor I dropped just has a paper label and I cannot make out any of the information on it.....
The dual capacitor info is:

It has no information on it at all. Can I replace it with another brand? On Grainger website they have http://www.grainger....PCY1?Pid=search which looks like mine and is also for the 2.5 ton like mine.
Can I just use the capacitor from the new kit? Do I have to change the relay?
Where can I buy it from? Grainger requires an account i believe...
Any help is appreciated....
Posted 11 August 2011 - 10:09 PM
Here is a quick google shopping result for 35/5 caps
THe start capacitor is more complicated. It would be a range of MFD's like 233-288 mfd .But it isalso important to get the right "physical size" capacitor. If you buy one rated for the correct MFD's and it is alot smaller than the one you have now(actual physical size) . It will explode upon startup.
Since you don't have the info from the label , I would suggest replacing the entire start kit for one that is rated for a 1 1/2 ton unit . This is the brand I suggest.
Here is another quick search for the 5-2-1 start kits

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
As members of Jonesboro High School's mock trial team wiped tears from their eyes on Sunday afternoon, moments after receiving the news they were not this year's state champions, thoughts were already turning to next year.The team was defeated by rival, Henry W. Grady High School, in the championship round of the Georgia Mock Trial Competition at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Complex, in Lawenceville. But, with 11 members of this year's team expected to return next year, coaches were working to get the youths pumped up about the future. "We've got 11 coming back next year," Clayton County Solicitor General Tasha Mosley, an attorney-coach, told the team members. "From here, we will reach our dream next year. We got to the state championship round this year, and pardon my language, but we're going to be hell [for other teams] next year." The team, Jonesboro coaches have said, is in a position to make life miserable for other mock trial teams at the state, and possibly, the national level not only this year, but for a few years to come. Before the state competition began, team teacher-coach Anna Cox said most of the team's members are freshman and sophomores this year. That opens the door to the possibility of a repeat of the run Jonesboro saw from 2006 to 2008, when it earned three top-five national finishes, including two national championships. "We are s-o-o-o-o-o proud of them, and their progress, and cannot wait to see them perform next year," Cox said in an e-mail on Monday. Clayton County State Court Judge John Carbo, another Jonesboro attorney-coach, said the fact that most of the students expect to be on the school's team next year and already have state-championship-round competition under their belts will be "invaluable," since they will know what to expect. Jonesboro freshman, Mylon Craig, 15, said the younger members of this year's team are already looking to build on this year's finish as the state's mock trial runner-up. "We can only go up from here, since we already know all the basics of how to prosecute and defend a case, as well as all the rules to cite," she said. Grady coaches said they are also expecting to see Jonesboro to make a strong run at next year's state competition, based on both what they saw from the team in the championship round, and the team's history of consistently strong performances. In the last five years, including this year, Jonesboro has only failed to make it to the semifinals of the state competition once. "The faces may change, but the attitude stays the same every year with them," said Grady Attorney-coach Carl Gebo. Fellow Grady Coach Jay Patton said Jonesboro has set the tone for other mock trial teams in Georgia, with six state championships, more than any one else, as well as two national championships. "They've got it down to a science," Patton said. "We would like to have the kind of success that they've had." In fact, Gebo said that as Grady prepares for that national competition in Philadelphia, Pa., in May, it has to contend with the long shadow Jonesboro has left on the national stage. "Jonesboro has raised the bar for what's expected from a Georgia team." Gebo said. "You can't just go anymore. You have to go there, and do well ... They are the gold standard for mock trial in Georgia." Members of Jonesboro's team this year include Craig, and teammates, Attalah Ali, Jezreel Amica, Tyler Anthony, Brandon Cash, Callie Christian, Ayana Colbert, Alfred Crea, Ayanha Lubin, Breanna McKnight, Dejurnett Norrington, Braeden Orr, Oriana Patterson, and Fred and Rachel Rohrbach. Teacher-coaches are Anna and Andrew Cox, and attorney-coaches are Carbo, Mosley, Clayton County Superior Court Judge Deborah Benefield and Clayton County Assistant District Attorney Katie Powers. Law student Karen Smith is a student coach for Jonesboro.

Prison likely to be harsh transition for Amish convicted in beard attacks
CLEVELAND — Sixteen Amish men and women who have lived rural, self-sufficient lives surrounded by extended family and with little outside contact are facing regimented routines in a federal prison system where almost half of inmates are behind bars for drug offenses and where modern conveniences, such as television, will be a constant temptation.
Prison rules will allow the 10 men convicted in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in eastern Ohio to keep their religiously important beards, but they must wear standard prison khaki or green work uniforms instead of the dark outfits they favor.
Jumper dresses will be an option for the six Amish women, who will be barred from wearing their typical long, dark dresses and bonnets.
It's unclear where the Amish will serve their sentences, but some of the nearest options include men's prisons in Elkton, a 90-minute drive southeast of Cleveland, and in Loretto, Cambria County, and women's prisons in Lexington, Ky., and Alderson, W.Va.
Some of the initial prison assignments include locations in Texas and Louisiana, according to a letter circulating among defense attorneys, and other assignments could come any day.
"Amish people grow up with very strong communal connections and large extended families and participating in community activities, so being suddenly severed from that and isolated would certainly be a major change," said Donald Kraybill, a longtime Amish researcher and professor at Elizabethtown College in the heart of Pennsylvania's Amish country.
The defendants, all members of the same Amish sect, were convicted in September of hate crimes in 2011 attacks meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from the strict religious interpretations espoused by the sect's leader.

As I stated previously, glycin is only slightly soluble in water.Originally Posted by titrisol
Glycin is quite soluble in alkaline solutions. In order to dissolve glycin in water, you need to make the water alkaline. Sodium (or potassium) sulfite will perform this function, - so will carbonate and other alkalis.
However, if you are mixing a developer (dissolved in water) that uses both metol and glycin, the metol should be dissolved first. It is important to add no more than a pinch of sulfite before dissolving the metol. If there is too much sulfite, a large percentage of the metol may become insoluble. After the metol is dissolved, add the remaining sulfite, then add the glycin.

Cream of Tshwane's crop among best 20 pupilsComment on this story
Pretoria - Three city matriculants made it to the top 20 of best performers in the country.
Thabang Manamela, a blind candidate from Prinshof High School, said: "I am so happy. This just shows that hard work pays off. I could not wait to finish high school so I can go on to the new streets of life."
At a breakfast in Sandton on Monday, Thabang sang for the audience. He studied music in matric but wants to study criminal law at the University of Pretoria.
"I love music and will still pursue it, but not in a major way.
"I am not worried about going into an environment with people who are not disabled.
"I only socialise with blind people at school. Outside school I am with other people."
He said he wanted to study at the Tuks but his mother, Grace, worried it was too far.
"She's worried that I'm her last born and she'll miss me too much," he said laughing.
Thabang was the third best performing candidate from special schools.
"I am relieved now that I know what my results are."
Grace said she was proud of her son. "I'm so happy. It's like I'm floating but I'm also nervous. I can't sleep at night wondering what will happen."
Her sentiments were shared by another parent, Delinah Mthombeni whose son, Siphesihle Sithole, from Makhosini Combined School in Soshanguve, is also one of the best performers.
She said: "I expected a lot from him but not this kind of thing. He's always been a great performer."
Siphesihle was the third best pupil from disadvantaged schools across the country.
He plans to study chemical engineering at the University of Pretoria. "The secret to doing well is setting targets and reaching them.
"My school was also very supportive. There were afternoon classes and holiday classes. They gave us all the skills we needed to do well."
The only girl among the top performers was Wini-Louise Myburgh from Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool.
She said: "I am completely stunned. I worked hard but didn't think I'd be invited to meet the minister."
Wini-Louise was the best performing maths student in the country. "I expected to be the best in Tshwane, but not the country," said an excited Wini-Louise.
She is going to study accounting at the University of Pretoria.
The best performing candidates were given Post Office accounts in which R2 000 had been deposited.

Travel Photography Photos taken by Sr.curtissan and tagged as me Nabe with the Neighbors
Our neighbors Earl and Jyana from Seattle had a few residents from the apartment over for dinner. We had a traditional Japanese dinner called Nabe. It's similar to fondu, except the dish in the center of the table has a boiling broth in it. We threw in crab, salmon, shrimp, a mystery fish, cabbage, mushrooms, and meatballs. It was delicious!

>From the Google page "What does these numbers mean"
"The numbers on the graph reflect how many searches have been done
for a particular term, relative to the total number of searches done
on Google over time. They don't represent absolute search volume
numbers, because the data is normalized and presented on a scale from
0-100; each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, or
100. The numbers next to the search terms above the graph are
summaries, or totals."
Does that mean that fewer people are interested in usability, or that

early adopters?

There are a million questions that we can ask to determine what these
figures are really saying.
Anything from shaping a spearhead for hunting to creating an electric car
to engineering running shoes involves usability.
Usability can neither go up nor down because it's like the air we breath.
I'm not aware that I'm breathing air but it's still there. I don't even
think about. Every now and then I may complain about how 'muggy' the air
quality is by Lakeshore and Bay (Toronto), but that's the extent of my
interest in air. We need air to survive.
Usability is just one of those things that we consciously need to make an
effort to make others aware as well as ourselves.
Even now as I'm typing, I'm considering the ergonomic and fashion design of
the clothes I'm wearing, the keyboard I'm using, the industrial design of my
wireless mouse, the chair that I'm sitting in and the mug that's holding my
coffee, etc., (I could go on).
It's very important for all of us to be fully aware of the need for
Even though usability is my craft, I often take it for granted.
We have a World Usability Day for a reason- 'World' meaning everyone and
If anything, we need to push this field and consistently remind others of
the user experience and the consideration that should be taking into design.
Usability is ambient and atmospheric, and besides, it pays the bills.
Does that mean that fewer people are interested in usability, or that

White House (AP) President Bush says the current economic slump may be challenging, but he says the nation's financial institutions are strong.
Bush met today with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and other top economic advisers as markets around the world remain in turmoil.
The president says he and his senior aides "agree that our financial institutions are strong." he admits, however, that "we're dealing with a difficult situation" with uncertain stock markets, oil prices at record highs and the dollar posting record lows.
Later today, Bush will meet with his working group on financial markets, which includes Paulson, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke and the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
