I had a training meeting yesterday and a coworker kept saying simular (instead of similar). ACK!
Then I came home and told my daughter about it, and she said her CNA teacher always says something wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was. Then suddenly she texts me this afternoon "cooshins"(cushions). LOL
I have another coworker that wrote sale instead of sell on a spreadsheet, I made her read it out loud (where she pronounced it sell). Then I told her she was wrong that word was sale, and she should have written sell and spelled it for her. This was a spread sheet that I have spent a lot of time on, so for her to do that made me cringe.

Personable Key proves the immovable barrier
Relevant offers
Election comment
Labour tried it all. They understood their own weaknesses and they attacked National's soft spots.
They finally banished the leadership question, drew a line under the Darren Hughes affair and set out a plan to win the unwinnable election.
There were inevitable mistakes and the policy agenda was perhaps too cluttered.
But the advertisements were sharp, the overall approach coherent and there was no lack of trying from the leader, at least.
There was, however, the John Key question.
Widely trusted and generally liked, Key was the immovable object of this election campaign and National's result belongs almost entirely to him.
While Key's government has not exactly set the heather on fire with innovative or ingenious thinking, neither has it done enough that was offensive over its three years in charge.
If the economic pain had reached further there would have been more interest in an alternative plan. And if there were some Act Party-style outrages among National's ranks, Key might not have survived.
But there was simply not enough running against the prime minister to topple him.
Phil Goff had to go toe-to-toe with Key and somehow defeat him.
In an inevitably presidential- style campaign, Goff was starting from way behind.
He needed not just to pick up points here and there but to comprehensively better his rival. He needed to pull off the proverbial down-trou on Key. He got nowhere near it. The risks did not yield rewards.
Of course, Goff had to snipe at Key, abuse his record and chastise his management. He could hardly just put up Labour's plans without saying why they were needed.
The unerring sense throughout the campaign, though, was that the image of a nagging Goff was dominating the constructive one.
And while Key, on the other hand, had little of any great note to say, he still seemed to be popularly received as relaxed, likable and not so much a politician as a next-door neighbour.
Key's shtick was categorically not Helen Clark's cerebral authority, which had worked for Labour over nine years.
His was more that of the much- liked high school head boy. It beat Clark's style in 2008 and cleaned up Goff's in 2011.
It is not permanently immovable, however, and his next challenger should not think he or she can win only by out John Key- ing John Key.
It's just that we now know the Goff brand is not the one to do it.

March 16, 2014
Petersen Events Center, March 16, 2014
Quoting Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon:
Opening Statement:
"We were on spring break this week and now we are getting ready for classes to start tomorrow and getting ready for Colorado. I know a little bit about Colorado, I know their coach, Coach Boyle. I have gotten to know him the past couple years with being part of Nike. I know they have a lot of players from California, and have done a good job with recruiting. We are looking forward to get ready and start watching some film. I have six tapes waiting for me to watch. I have a good feeling but we're focusing on Colorado. They're an eight seed and we're a nine. We are the underdog coming in so we have to go out and play good basketball. We have been playing our best basketball this year at this point so we are looking forward to getting better this week. We watched some tape of ourselves today prior to getting together. We are looking forward to this opportunity. As far as our health goes, I think we got through pretty well. Talib [Zanna] seems healthy and Lamar [Patterson] is doing well. Michael [Young] is still battling through that back as we know. He has a small fracture in the back and he has been playing through that for about a month and a half now. There is a lot of pain and discomfort but he is battling through it. James [Robinson] and Cameron [Wright] had some rest today and they will be ready."
On playing a team without many common opponents:
"We have seen a few but Coach Boyle has gone out and got some guys from California and got a couple local guys as well. He has really done a good job. They seem to have a really good balance. You're going to get someone, in this case, that we haven't seen or don't know and that is the great thing. There are a lot of teams, 350 teams, 68 are playing, and we are getting ready for Thursday."
On thoughts of being a nine seed:
"I haven't had a chance to look at different things. Everyone is talking about the parody, like number one seeded teams with four losses. Everybody has to go in there thinking they have an opportunity. We are a team that has gotten better as the year has gone on. We have developed the bench and rotation. We have gotten freshmen that have improved and got better. We are excited about how we are playing. We have three practices to get ready for Thursday."
On being a strong road team and preparing for Orlando:
"That is what we were talking about. Our 7-2 record was the best in the conference on the road. That is essentially the team people look at. We did a very good job in a lot of ways. We have four returning players playing in the NCAA tournament. That is hard to find someone else in the country that are returning four players. The road wins and neutral court wins that we have had was our talking point going into the ACC tournament. It was that we have won more road games more than anybody and we will be playing on the road the rest of the year."
On seeing NC State get into NCAA tournament:
"I was very surprised and glad for the conference. I hadn't looked at the numbers today as we were traveling back and watching film. I had asked the question about a few teams that people had down as locks and I had some different thoughts to them and it turned out that way. I didn't know who the next team in was going to be. As I look at it now, it does make sense to me. I can understand that and getting their win against Syracuse in a close game speaks to that. They are another NCAA tournament team. It is interesting at the end of the day to look at who we beat and who we played and there are a number of teams in the tournament. It is interesting how it has all played out."
On last year's nine seed making it to the final four:
"We will be focused on Colorado. That is the number one thing. We have constantly talked to our team about what we could become and it speaks to that. Going in with four returning players, we are clearly in the process of developing."
On importance of the freshmen to step up to make a run:
"It is very important, but with defense for me, they have to be able to defend for us to give us an opportunity. That is what Josh [Newkirk] has done for us first and foremost, and now you are seeing the offense come with it. You may score some buckets, but if you're giving up more on the other end it is not helpful to our team. That is what Josh is doing now for us. He is a positive and an asset on the defense end. Now you're seeing him get more minutes and then the offense is coming with it."
On keeping teams below 40% field goal mark:
"We didn't do it the other day. We talk about our offense, rebounding and different things, but we didn't hold Virginia to under 40%. With that, you don't get as many transition opportunities and the rebound numbers we like to get. We did get more turnovers out of them that I would have thought. We did not get the stops that we needed to get. We did at the end of the game, but it was guarding penetration. The switch was a bit of a problem. I was surprised they beat us off the dribble as much as they did early on."
Quoting Pitt guard James Robinson:
On familiarity of Colorado State:
"I've seen them some on TV. We know they are a good team. They are going to play hard, but so are we. We are going to be ready."
On being announced so quickly:
"Word just spread for the most part. We are happy wherever we are seeded."
On having momentum from the ACC tournament:
"Definitely. We didn't reach our goal of winning the ACC tournament title but we did some good things. We also did some things we need to improve on. So we need to use tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday to get ready for Thursday's game."
On Colorado State's point guard getting hurt early on in the season:
"It was hard for their team once he went down. They have good players that have stepped up. We have got to be ready. They still have guards capable of making things happen."
On his offensive showing this past week:
"I am feeling pretty good. We played really unselfish this past week and that really helped us out. If we continue to play unselfish and limit our mistakes we should be fine."
On perspective going into the tournament this year:
"As of last year we lost to Wichita State in our first game. But our focuses are on Colorado right now and we have to try and prepare for them the best we can."
On inspiration from the team they lost to, a 9 seed, Wichita State making final four last year:
"Yes, it is good to see that it can happen. We have faith in ourselves and our coaches. So we just have to take it one step at a time as a team and be ready."
Quoting Pitt guard Cameron Wright:
On familiarity of Colorado State:
"I have seen them on TV a few times. I know they have size to them. They like to shoot the threes but you can't really go off of that. You need to do a lot of research and bring up film on them."
On losing Durand Johnson just as Colorado State lost a key player:
"We definitely miss Durand. He is a brother to all of us. We are glad to have his support on the sidelines. It is unfortunate for anybody to lose one of their teammates so it is a sad situation for them also."
On how losing Durand Johnson affected them as a team:
"We never broke apart. You could say it brought us closer. We were always close, even with Durand. His personality and spirit and the relationship we have with each other is maintained throughout the entire season."
On leaving ACC tournament after 2 victories and tough loss to Virginia:
"Definitely congrats to Virginia, they outright won our conference in all aspects and they deserve the number 1 seed. But we feel like we let a game go. We are confident going into the NCAA tournament."
On the offense improving while at ACC tournament:
"We got a lot of guys that can score the ball. We got a lot of guys that have displayed their talents on the floor. We have faith in all of our capabilities on the floor and we have to trust them."
Quoting Pitt forward Michael Young
On facing Colorado State:
"It's another game. It is an opportunity for me to go out on the court, and show what I can do. This is another opportunity for this team to come out and get a win."
On reaction to getting in the South bracket with the number 1 overall seed, Florida:
"Everyone was surprised on how fast we found out. We are playing Colorado and we have to be ready like any other game. We have a little bit of a bad taste in our mouth from the loss to Virginia. So we want to come out and be hungry and ready to go."
On what has been different this last week for the team:
"Everyone has been on the same page, offensively and defensively. On defense, we need to continue being aggressive, tough, physical and staying disciplined. On offense, we need to be patient. Everyone has been attacking and everything has been flowing."
Quoting Pitt forward Talib Zanna
On game against North Caroline giving them momentum for the NCAA tournament:
"Yes. We just wanted the win. We went into the ACC tournament hungry and we wanted to make a statement. We needed a couple wins to have a better seed for the NCAA tournament. We are the 9th seed right now and we cannot worry about it. We just have to go there and play our game."
On possibility of playing Florida in 2nd round in Orlando, Florida:
"Yes, that would be their home base. I know they would have their home crowd, which would give them some advantage. But, we can't think about that. We just have to play our game and leave everything on the court."
On reaction to their seeding:
"So people care about the seed. I think the seed does not matter. A lot of teams have had the number 1 seed and can go out early. It is more about whoever has the heart to come out and dominate."
Quoting Pitt forward Lamar Patterson:
On initial reaction to being a 9 seed:
"I didn't even realize our seed. I just knew we would be playing Colorado."
On a number 9 need (Wichita State) making the Final Four last year inspiration for Pitt:
"Just being in the tournament is inspiration enough for us. We know what to do. We have to go out there and get wins."
On momentum from the ACC tournament carrying over to NCAA tournament:
"I believe so. Our defense is coming around, our rebounding is coming around and we have definitely made strides this past week. We are ready to go."

Asked if Intel customizes microprocessors for its biggest customers, Diane Bryant said: "Yes."
Bryant heads the Intel group that builds server chips and other hardware bound for large data centers. Last week, during a dinner with reporters in downtown San Francisco, she was explaining just how much the server business has changed in recent years. In 2008, three server giants — HP, Dell, and IBM — accounted for 75 percent of the revenues Intel pulled in from the sale of server chips. But today, Bryant said, that 75 percent is spread across eight server makers, and one of them is Google, a company that only makes servers for itself.
Then a reporter asked if Intel customizes parts for its largest customers. "Yes," Bryant said. "We want to give them a way of differentiating their machines."
Bryant didn't say much more, but those few words shine a light on another part of the big-time chip business that's rarely discussed. There are cases where a large chipmaker such as Intel and AMD will provide certain customers with chips that others may not have access to. Sometimes, this merely means that when the chipmaker cranks out a big batch of processors, one customer gets the chips that happen to have the best speed or power ratings. But in other cases, the chipmaker will actually modify processors at the request of a particular customer.
This practice may show how determined the Dells and the HPs are to offer machines that stand out in what has become a commodity market. But it may also show how far Google and other web giants will go as they work to customize the servers that underpin their online services, pushing to reduce power and cost in the data center.
Intel declined to provide additional information about its efforts in this area, and Google declined to comment as well. But rumors have long held that Google pushes for more than just ordinary chips from Intel. Intel rival AMD says it has customized chips in certain cases. And Facebook — which also designs its own servers — acknowledges that it requests specific silicon from the big chip makers.
According to John Williams, vice president of server marketing and business development at AMD, there are situations where his company has turned off certain parts of a processor at the request of customers — or even added "instructions," the fundamental operations that define how a processor works.
Asked if Facebook makes such requests, Facebook spokesman Michael Kirkland said: "We do work with Intel and other vendors in these ways." But he stopped short of providing details, saying the company had not yet asked chip makers for approval to discuss the matter with the press.
As the big web companies step up their efforts to remake the hardware driving their massive data centers, chip customization could become a key battleground in the ongoing microprocessor wars. In recent months, Intel has acquired several technologies that would allow it to heavily customize server chips, but its rivals question whether it has the freedom to do so.
Intel operates massive chip fabrication plants, or fabs, that have traditionally been geared towards the production of millions upon millions of largely identical chips. According to Andrew Feldman — co-founder of a new-age server maker called SeaMicro, which was recently acquired by Intel rival AMD — there are other companies better suited to the creation of customized server chips for the big web players. Yes, one is AMD, which no longer runs its own fabs. The other is ARM.
ARM is the company behind so many of the chips that drive today's smartphones, but it's slowly moving into server chips as well. Though its new server chip designs are still a long way from live data centers, they've piqued the interest of many tech outfits because they consume relatively little power, a major concern for the big web players. But there may be an added attraction: ARM doesn't build its own chips. It licenses chip designs to others so that they can then be, well, customized.
There's Custom. And Then There's Custom
Andrew Feldman says it's only natural for big-time computer makers to push for chips that suit their particular needs. "Customers are always asking for features and performance characteristics from vendors. It is no different in the processor business," he says. "As a system vendor, you have deep insight into the end customer's requirements. You try to convince your CPU vendor to listen to you and put the features you think the customers will want into the chip."
But there's a wide spectrum of ways this can play out. "Custom can mean a lot of things," says AMD's John Williams. Sometimes, he says, when a buyer receives "customized" chips, this merely means they're getting the best silicon that comes off the line. Though incredibly precise, the modern chip manufacturing process ends up producing processors with a relatively wide range of characteristics, and based on these characteristics, the chips are sorted into separate "bins." Certain customers, Williams says, will get access to the bins with the fastest chips — or the chips that consume the lowest power.
'Customers are always asking for features and performance characteristics from vendors. It is no different in the processor business.'
Separately, customers will ask for specific changes to a chip. A computer maker may convince an Intel or an AMD to build a new version of a chip that's then offered up to the market as a whole, but it could also push for chip customizations that aren't available to the rest of the world.
Andrew Feldman's SeaMicro began life as a company dedicated to building a new breed of low-power server using Intel's Atom chip, a processor originally designed for smartphones and other mobile devices, and according to the company, Intel built a new version of the Atom — the N570 — with "significant and specific input" from SeaMicro engineers.
This is an example of a customized chip that's available to the market at large. And since releasing the N570, Intel has built yet another version of the Atom known as the Centerton, saying it's specifically built for servers. HP has now said it will offer systems using the chip. "Intel often works with OEMs to define…custom chips, based on trends we're seeing from our mutual customer base," says Intel spokesman Mark Miller, referring to "original equipment manufacturers" such as Dell and HP.
But sometimes, chip designers will go further, customizing chips just for one particular vendor. According to AMD's John Williams, the company has turned off certain parts of a chip at the request of customers looking to save power, and in other cases, it has actually enhanced a chip. "There are certainly instances where a customer will say: 'Can you integrate this particular piece of our intellectual property that we have to differentiate our system and we want to be the only one who has access to it,'" he says.
Williams adds, however, that this sort of customization is rare. When AMD goes so far as to add instructions, it will typically make these changes available to all customers. For AMD, that just makes more economic sense.
Feldman says much the same thing, though he believes chip customization is even more difficult for Intel because — unlike AMD — the company runs its own fabs. And this will become more of an issue as customers request additional customization. A system maker could convince an Intel to add an instruction or two to an existing processor, Feldman says, but arranging for a completely custom chip is a different matter. The fabs run by a company like Intel, he says, are geared towards the production of large numbers of identical parts, not custom-built processors.
"Fabs are like printing presses," he says. "They are at their best when they are knocking out a lot of identical parts. They are at their worst when they are doing many different jobs. Because changing jobs takes time, and the press is only making money when it is running, not when it is setting up new jobs."
A New ARM for Google?
As Feldman points out, ARM is a very different animal. ARM's entire businesses, he says, is geared towards "custom" chip designs. The company licenses its core designs to outside outfits who then massage these designs to suit their particular needs.
Feldman believes that chip customization will become increasingly important in the server market. This, he says, could make the ARM architecture particularly attractive to the big web players.
"ARM has more than 100 of these licensees, each of whom is doing a 'custom' part. These chips are almost always customized for a specific application — one particular phone or some such," Feldman says. "This chip could be customized for a very large data center customer just as easily — or a very large data center company could become an ARM licensee and make their own part."
'Our business model allows this to happen. But there would have to be quite a lot of ground covered.'
At the moment, that seems a bit of a stretch. ARM chips still lack some key ingredients needed to run servers, and even ARM says we're long way from the Googles and the Facebooks building their own processors. "Our business model allows this to happen," says Ian Ferguson, ARM's director of server systems and ecosystem. "But there would have to be quite a lot of ground covered from where those [web companies] are today to a situation that would make it a reality."
As it stands, he says, ARM has not licensed technology to the big web players.
Ferguson is also careful to say that ARM machines still need a lot of work before they're running big-time data centers, and he says that Intel's abilities shouldn't be underestimated. After acquiring various businesses that could be used to add new technologies to its microprocessors, he points out, Intel has the tools it needs to customize chips for customers. Like Andrew Feldman, however, he questions whether this makes economic sense for the company.
What's more, Ferguson says, the web giants would have to acquire the right engineering talent. But that's not a big hurdle. These companies have a relatively long history of hiring hardware engineers, and Google has already acquired a chip designer: the San José, California-based Agnilux.
With Google and Facebook designing everything from servers to storage and networking gear, you could certainly see them customizing their own chips somewhere down the road. AMD's John Williams says this would be quite an undertaking — even for Google. But he doesn't rule it out. A company like ARM, he says, "lowers the bar" because it lets companies built their own chips without starting from scratch.
"You have to have staff to build the design. But you also have to deal with a lot of intellectual property that surrounds the processor, and at the back-end, you still have to develop a relationship with a manufacturing partner — and that's when the costs really rise," he says. "But if you're dealing with a very significant volume, those economics could work out."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Whether you have a few virtual machines, a virtual private server, or an entire virtual infrastructure, virtualization management is essential for maximizing performance and capacity. The better managed your environment is, the fewer investments you'll need to make in the future. Use these virtualization management techniques to squeeze more from your virtual machines and virtual private server.
1. Recover wasted resources – Do you have an unused, idle, or powered off virtual private server or machines? These machines are typically allotted resources that other machines could be using. If nothing else, they take up disk space. Use your virtualization management console's features to find and recover wasted resources. Depending on how many unused virtual machines and virtual private server machines you have claiming resources that they don't need, the savings could be significant.
2. Ask your clusters to do more – Use your virtualization management console to analyze cluster utilization. Can you find any clusters that are under-utilized? If your virtualization management console includes planning and analysis tools, use them to identify underutilized clusters.
3. Eliminate virtual machines and servers that are no longer needed – Imagine a single user that needs several virtual machines for various purposes. Some of those purposes may have been one-off instances. Meanwhile the virtual machine still exists, complete with its fair share of resources allotted to it even though it is no longer required. While a single virtual machine may not be the problem, imagine an entire enterprise filled with occasional one-time needs. It doesn't take long before you have a significant number of virtual machines that no one needs. Use your virtualization management tools to identify inactive machines that are candidates for elimination. One way to avoid issues with temporary virtual machines is to assign expiration dates to those that are intended to be used on a temporary basis (Source: http://www.tegile.com/solutions/server-virtualization-solutions).
Recovering wasted resources, asking clusters to do more, and eliminating virtual servers and machines that are no longer needed are three virtualization management steps that can free up resources.

CHAPTER 7. Sale to Private Parties After Deed To State
Section 3692.4
3692.4. Request for auction; low-income housing. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any county, city, city and county, or any nonprofit organization as defined in Section 3772.5, may request the tax collector to bring to the next scheduled public auction any residential real property that meets all of the following requirements:
(1) The property taxes have been delinquent for at least three years.
(2) The real property will serve the public benefit of providing housing directly related to low-income persons.
(3) The real property is not occupied by the owner as his or her principal place of residence.
(b) Every request submitted to the tax collector shall include the following:
(1) A formal resolution of the governing board of the county, city, city and county, or nonprofit organization, requesting the accelerated auction of the real property and stating the public benefit.
(2) A written plan for the development, rehabilitation, or proposed use of the real property and how low-income persons will be served.
(c) Upon receiving a request as provided by this section, the tax collector shall include the real property in the next scheduled public auction.
(d) (1) If the real property is acquired by a nonprofit organization at auction, a deed restriction shall be placed on the real property, requiring the real property to be used for low-income housing for a period of at least 30 years.
(2) (A) In lieu of the 30-year restriction required by paragraph (1), the deed may provide for equity sharing upon resale, if the real property is a single-family home that will be sold by the nonprofit organization to a low-income owner-occupant.
(B) To the extent not in conflict with another public funding source or law, all of the following shall apply to an equity-sharing agreement provided for by the deed:
(i) Upon resale by an owner-occupant of the home, the owner-occupant of the home shall retain the market value of any improvements, the downpayment, and his or her proportionate share of appreciation. The nonprofit organization shall recapture any initial subsidy and its proportionate share of appreciation, which shall then be used for the purpose of providing financial assistance to low-income homebuyers.
(ii) For purposes of this subdivision, the initial subsidy shall be equal to the fair market value of the home at the time of initial sale to the low-income owner-occupant minus the initial sale price to the low-income owner-occupant, plus the amount of any downpayment assistance or mortgage assistance. If upon resale by the owner-occupant the market value is lower than the initial market value, then the value at the time of the resale shall be used as the initial market value.
(iii) For purposes of this subdivision, the nonprofit organization's proportionate share of appreciation shall be equal to the ratio of the initial subsidy to the fair market value of the home at the time of initial sale.
(e) This section may not be construed to preclude the application, to the real property or the current owners of that property, of any other provision of law not in conflict with this section.

What's more, in early July, Fuller and his crews located what looked like a spawning aggregation, when fish gather for a big, piscine orgy: the females release their eggs on the riverbed while the males swim nearby, broadcasting sperm. Six days later—about as long as it takes eggs to hatch and begin their drift—Fuller and company returned to sample for embryos. They positioned themselves downstream from where the spawning aggregation had occurred, and tossed in their net.
"I did not have my hopes up at all," says Fuller. "We were sampling such a small fraction of the (river)." Yet they did net some embryos, which they sent off for genetic testing to determine if they belonged to pallid sturgeon, shovelnose or paddlefish.
Finding a wild embryo has long been one of the effort's "Holy Grails"—a sought-after sign that pallid survival in the post-dam era is even possible. Last December, Fuller received some incredible news: One of the embryos was, in fact, a pallid sturgeon—"the first genetically confirmed wild-produced pallid (embryo) collected anywhere in the Missouri River Basin," he says. "It was a giant haystack with probably just a few needles. We got lucky, there is no doubt about it." He called his boss. "I was worried he wouldn't be that excited because he's more of a walleye guy," he recalls. But his boss went out and bought two bottles of champagne. The men spent the afternoon celebrating.
Since Fuller went public with his discovery, the tiny embryo has been the talk of the recovery community. "The Service built its original (plan) on the hypothesis that if you can restore historic flow and temperature conditions, pallids will respond," Braaten says. "That appears to be exactly what happened." What's more, Fuller's finds—the spawning aggregation and the embryo—show that the dammed Missouri below Fort Peck doesn't have to be "a terrible, inhospitable, crappy place" for pallid sturgeon, Braaten says.
For others, though, last year churned up more questions than answers. "The fact that they captured one pallid (embryo) is huge," says Steve Fischer, the senior program manager for the Corps' Missouri River Recovery Program. "But how many were actually spawned that year? Can we find them again, or were conditions just right last year? And, if so, what might those conditions have been?"
"It tells us that wild fish will spawn and eggs can hatch in the wild," agrees Jordan. But, he says, whether the embryos survived their drift between dams is still unknown. If in the next few seasons crews start finding wild, young fish, then, Jordan says, we will know that they've recruited on their own, and "the champagne can really flow."
Given the massive property damage caused by last year's flooding, in Braaten's mind, the biggest question now is whether pallids will respond as well to much less extreme flows—the kind it might be possible to release from Fort Peck on a more regular basis. "What would it take?" he wonders. The experimental spills prescribed by Flow Mod were less than half the volume of last year's emergency spillway releases. "Could we get away with something less?"
If the answer is yes, it may still be possible to help the fish below Fort Peck by modifying dam releases to more closely mimic natural conditions. If the answer is no, the pallids' future in the upper river looks far less bright, and passage at Intake might be their only shot. After all, the Corps would be hard-pressed to elicit public support for pallids if, to save the species, it essentially had to flood the Missouri Basin every spring. On the other hand, the Intake project has faced significant design setbacks, delays and cost increases, and is still controversial.
"There is a lot of jabber going on about putting emphasis back on Fort Peck and this section of the Missouri," says Fuller. The Service, he says, now has solid evidence to pressure the Corps to follow through with flow and temperature changes below Fort Peck. This year, the Corps held meetings to discuss the feasibility of fitting Fort Peck with a temperature-control device that would funnel warm water from the surface of the reservoir to the dam's lower intakes instead of using the spillway. This would increase temperatures below the dam—and, ideally, compel pallids to migrate up the Missouri to spawn—without increasing flood risk or interrupting the dam's hydroelectric operations.
In the end, says Fischer, the Corps has to decide if it's cheaper to invest in Intake or pursue changes at Fort Peck. "We have to take into account the social, cultural and economic impacts," of each project, Fischer says. "We have to factor all of those in to our management actions."
Last July, just a week before Fuller collected his embryo, Braaten made an important—though sobering—discovery of his own.
Braaten and a USGS technician had spent the day tracking telemetered pallids on the Yellowstone. As they were driving back to Fort Peck, Braaten received a call from a hydrologist who'd also been on the river that day. He asked if Braaten saw the dead pallid near the bank. "Are you sure it was a pallid?" asked Braaten. "Oh yeah," the hydrologist replied. "And it reeked."
Braaten drove back and walked the bank until he found the corpse, afloat amid a tangle of vegetation. It was easily four feet long, says Braaten, "one of our heritage fish." The smell "was horrible and mostly undescribable," he says. "I've smelled many a dead fish in my days, but the pallid odor was different—at least to me."
He scanned its tag: It was a female that was captured in 2007, taken to the Miles City Fish Hatchery and spawned. Since then, 10,000 of her progeny had been stocked in the Upper Basin. It was comforting to know that she had some descendants out there, Braaten thought.
The fish was the first dead pallid he'd ever found. The fact that he was there to identify her was just dumb luck, he says. What are the odds with so few fish out there? "(Maybe) it's another commonality that Dave and I share—working with hard odds and coming up with something."
Braaten believes the pallid succumbed to old age; a poignant reminder that, despite Fuller's heartening discoveries, the upper river's wild pallids are on their way out. When Braaten got home that night, he sent an email to colleagues describing the fish and its fate. The first line read, "Sad day on the river."

The First Straw: Building the First Straw Bale Home in Virginia
Hanuman Bertschy trod where no Virginian had gone before when she built a straw bale home on an ashram just outside of Charlottesville.
To meet building codes, Hanuman needed a vent for the four solar panels she uses as back-up power. Because the cement stucco that covers the home's exterior lends itself to fanciful sculpting, a friend crafted this elephant eye vent. In Hindu belief, the elephant represents Lord Ganesh, the symbol of the Supreme Self. Hindus invoke Lord Ganesh, said to bestow worldly as well as spiritual success, before they begin any rite or undertake any project.

When huge corporations start talking about improving the harvests of foods the poor depend on to survive, watch out! Those crops are about to be colonized, made more expensive and genetically altered. Casava is the latest target of global agro-industry.
Colonizing Cassava
by C. Uzondu
"Increasing hunger within and between nation-states is inextricably rooted in capitalist imperialism."
The corporate colonization of cassava is advancing. Just how dangerous this is for all of us and especially for the people whose existence depends on cassava would never be clear if you simply listened to the discussion of the issue on National Public Radio's program "Talk of the Nation."
You guessed it. Even if you don't eat cassava the corporate colonization of cassava matters for you. The same corporate controlled food system that works through structural racism to deny affordable access to quality food to residents in urban communities, also super-exploits migrant workers, and also pollutes our water, land, and air. Colonizing cassava and other foods is about power; it is about increasing corporate power over and against people's rights to food and life, especially racialized people.
Cassava is eaten by millions of people in the global South. For example, in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with 149 million people, more than 70% of the population relies on cassava for much of their food needs. Cassava is also widely consumed in central and South America as well as South East Asia.
Why the growing interest in cassava (and other "marginal" crops like sorghum, millet, pigeon peas etc)? Global hunger is the answer served up. We are told that the reason why corporations are colonizing cassava is to help address growing hunger. That is, agricultural/biotech corporations are laboring to genetically modify cassava because this can help eliminate increasing global hunger. These agricultural corporations promise to engineer cassava that allegedly has more and bigger roots.
"The roots of global hunger have to do with structural adjustment programs imposed on the imperialized countries in the global South."
But any real solution needs to get at the root causes of the problem. However, as Food Rebellion makes clear the roots of global hunger have to do with structural adjustment programs imposed on the imperialized countries in the global South by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The roots of global hunger have to do with the liberalization of agricultural trade and "free" trade agreements that support unfair trade rules that prioritize profit maximization of agricultural corporations over the basic rights of peasants and small scale-farmers to grow their own food and feed their own communities. The roots of global hunger have every thing to do with the pro-corporate agriculture and anti-farmer policies of the US and the European Union.i Increasing hunger within and between nation-states is inextricably rooted in capitalist imperialism.
Therefore, the corporate solutions being offered cannot solve anything. Solving hunger by technological fixes is no solution. It is a power move; it mystifies the power relations that help organize hunger and further consolidate the power of those entities that make profits by enforcing and producing hunger.
Hunger, as we know, is concentrated in the global South. (Hunger is also concentrated in racialized communities within the global North; the obesity epidemic, or what is now being called "diabesity" is fundamentally an epidemic of hunger). According to the logic of biotechnology companies, the issue of global hunger is an issue of productivity. We need to produce more food if we are going to feed the world's hungry people. Therefore, it is suggested that if there is more cassava produced then the people who are hungry will have more access to cassava to eat. This argument is compelling in its simplicity. It is also too simple and profoundly flawed.
"The current level of food productivity is sufficient to provide 1.5 times our global need."
According to the United Nations Rapporteur for the Right to Food, Olivier DeSchutter, there are more than a billion people a day who face debilitating hunger.ii However, at the same time, current levels of food production are more than sufficient to provide every human on the planet with a diet that provides 2,200 calories. Put differently, the current level of food productivity is sufficient to provide 1.5 times our global need. This means that there is currently more than enough food on this planet for everyone. But people are starving.
Yet, no matter how many times this argument – the necessity of more food production – is demonstrated to be fundamentally flawed, it is resurrected. I am not arguing that increased food productivity may not be an issue some day. It is possible. However, what needs to be highlighted is that the focus on productivity fails to address the fundamental problem central to global hunger – property rights relations. People who are hungry are seldom hungry because there is no food. In almost every instance they are hungry because they cannot access the food they need. For example, they may be unemployed or underemployed and therefore unable to purchase the food they need. Or they maybe self-provisioning farmers who have had their land appropriated by large commercial farmers supported by a World Bank "development" project. In effect, capitalist property relations effectively deny the hungry the right to live.
The colonization of cassava is troubling because valid questions remain about the safety of genetically modified food. Still, what troubles me is more than the possibility of disastrous health implications that may follow from consumption of genetically engineered foods. I am concerned with the raced and gendered capitalist property relations that are being advanced. Patents as a form of property rights increasingly rely on denying the knowledge of racialized peoples, especially women, while stealing and co-modifying that same knowledge for the pursuit of profits.
"The focus on productivity fails to address the fundamental problem central to global hunger – property rights relations."
Even if corporations were not legally mandated to put profits before and always before human/animal/environmental welfare, there would be good reasons to distrust corporations that claim to be concerned with helping to eliminate hunger. According to GRAIN, the major grain traders, to take one example, were making incredible profits as global hunger expanded. For example, "Cargill, the world's largest grain trader, reported an increase in profits of nearly 70 per cent over 2007 – a 157 per cent rise in profits since 2006."iii
The reason that corporations are colonizing cassava has little to do with any primary desire to eliminate hunger. Agricultural corporations cannot eliminate hunger just as feces cannot smell like mangoes. Colonizing cassava is about corporate plunder. Cassava and other crops consumed by the masses of people in the global South are the new targets of imperial theft. These food commodities offer new avenues for capitalist accumulation.
That it is poor people who overwhelmingly consume these foods does not mean there are not profits to be made by owning and controlling the patents on these modified organisms. Those who are hungry struggle mightily to eat. Overcharging the poor for food and housing has always been a strategy of capitalists. The era of biotechnology promises to intensify this form of plunder. The standard 20-year patent on GM organisms means that the company owning the technology has considerable potential to gain profits from its patent. This is part of the reason why cassava is being colonized.
"Overcharging the poor for food and housing has always been a strategy of capitalists."
In any case, even if genetic engineering can increase food productivity, this does not mean that it democratizes access and control of food. Agricultural corporations do not work to end hunger. Rather, they produce scarcity (read speculation and biofuels) in order to facilitate the maximization of profits. Furthermore, as long as genetic engineering is connected to the aggressive defense of patent protection for corporations it is at fundamental odds with the rights of peoples and communities to produce and consume culturally appropriate food rooted in agroecological practices.
Therefore, there is nothing exaggerated about concern with corporate colonization of cassava. The corporate controlled genetic modification of organisms and the continued emphasis on "food security" via so-called "free" trade are part of the same matrix of industrial agriculture domination. Food imperialism is alive and actively constructing killing fields. So when, for example, Bill Clinton apologizes for US food imperialism in Haiti (e.g. the destruction of Haiti's indigenous rice production) do not be fooled for an instant. He has not "seen the light." When Clinton expresses a desire for Haiti to continue and increase the export of mangoes, is this a model fundamentally different from the old colonial model? Why must Haiti focus on exporting "exotic" food to western consumers? When Bill Clinton supports the export of Haitian mangoes, but fails to advocate that the US pay reparations to Haiti, he demonstrates for all to see that he is a sweet talking pusher. He peddles death to the Haitian masses.
"Food imperialism is alive and actively constructing killing fields."
But it is to the organized peasants that resist food imperialism that we must listen and take our lead if we are concerned with ending global hunger. We should listen carefully, for example, to the Haitian peasant movementsiv who in the wake of the recent earthquake began intensifying their efforts to rebuild Haitian agriculture. To stop the colonization of cassava and other food crops we should also pay attention and take our lead from transnational social movements like La Via Campesina. Their articulation of peasant rights and food sovereignty point us in a more just and people-centered direction. Because the logic of profit accumulation does not drive food sovereignty, it offers a transformative vision and politics. Food sovereignty is about building democratic food systems that strive to end hunger and inequality. It should be our battle cry as we resist those who colonize life for profits while manufacturing death. Food sovereignty should be our battle call as we build democratic food systems that ensure the rights of peoples and communities to live dignified lives, to live self-determination.

OpenLog is an open source data logger. Simple to use, simple to change.
SparkFun doesn't mess around when they have something they want to make happen. There's been too many projects needing a simple, effective serial datalogger, so hence: The OpenLog - an open source data logger!
The OpenLog is a serial logger that just works. Power it up and it will starts logging any received serial data at 9600bps. Sending Ctrl+z will drop out of logging and in to command mode. 'new' will create a new file. 'md' makes a directory. '?' brings up the list of commands. OpenLog doesn't do everything, but it does log serial streams extremely well. Here's an example of how it is used:
That's it! OpenLog firmware is open source and is based on Roland Riegel's FAT library. OpenLog currently supports FAT16 (up to 2GB microSD cards). (FAT32 work is underway - stay tuned... or help!)
All the design files (schematic, PCB layout, firmware) are open source released under the CC-SA v3 license and are available through Github.
Dimensions: 0.16 x 0.6 x 0.75" (4 x 15 x 19mm)
The OpenLog project is housed on github! Please see the wiki for the most up-to-date firmware, feature requests, files, and datasheet specs.

I talk with many IT professionals that are dismayed at how little backup and recovery has changed in the last ten years. Most IT organizations still run traditional weekly fulls and daily incremental backups, they still struggle to meet backup windows and to improve recovery capabilities, to improve backup and restore success rates and to keep up with data growth. Sure there have been some improvements — the shift to disk as the primary target for backup did improve backup and recovery performance, but it hasn't fundamentally changed backup operations or addressed the most basic backup challenges. Why hasn't disk dragged backup out of the dark ages? Well, disk alone can't address some of the underlying causes. Unfortunately, many IT organizations:

CA is a vendor that already enjoys a leading position in overall network management. Its 2005 acquisition of Concord, which brought along the assets of the previously acquired Aprisma, instantly moved CA from an also-ran to one of the clear leaders. Concord was good, and CA has an impressive track record of growing that business since the acquisition. Still, there were some weaknesses with regard to more advanced performance analysis.
On September 14, 2009, CA finally addressed these performance gaps by announcing its intent to acquire NetQoS for $200 million. Based in Austin, TX, NetQoS is one of those exciting small companies that proved there is a better approach to many of the challenges we face. It is one of the true innovators in performance management of both infrastructure and applications.

There is a lot of hype surrounding cloud and I'm usually not one to join the hype but in the case of cloud-based backup and disaster recovery services (I'm trying to use the IT service continuity but it hasn't caught on yet), these service are available today and they address major pain points in IT operations and organizations of all sizes can leverage these services, not just small and medium businesses.
Storage-as-a-Service is relatively new. Today the main value proposition is as a cloud target for on-premise deployments of backup and archiving software. If you have a need to retain data for extended periods of time (1 year plus in most cases) tape is still the more cost effective option given it's low capital acquisition cost and removability. If you have long term data retention needs and you want to eliminate tape, that's where a cloud storage target comes in. Electronically vault that data to a storage-as-service provider who can store that data at cents per GB. You just can't beat the economies of scale these providers are able to achieve.
If you're a small business and you don't have the staff to implement and manage a backup solution or if you're an enterprise and you're looking for a PC backup or a remote office backup solution, I think it's worthwhile to compare the three year total cost of ownership of an on-premise solution versus backup-as-a-service.

In May, I blogged about NetApp's announced acquisition of deduplication pionneer, Data Domain. The announcement triggered an unsolicted counter-offer from EMC, followed by another counter from NetApp. But after a month of offers, counter-offers and regulatory reviews, EMC ultimately outbid NetApp with an all cash offer of $2.1 billion. I believe that Data Domain would have been a better fit in the current NetApp portfolio; it would have been easier for NetApp to reposition its current VTL as a better fit for large enterprises that still planned to leverage tape. It's also said that more than half of Data Domain's current employees are former NetApp employees so there would have been a clear cultural fit as well.
For $2.1 billion, EMC gets Data Domain's more than 3000 customers and 8000 installs but it also gets a product that in my opinion, overlaps with its current Quantum-based disk libraries, the DL1500 and DL3000. In Forrester inquiries and current consulting engagements, Data Domain is regularly up against the EMC DL1500 and DL3000. EMC will need to quickly explain to customers how it plans to position its new Data Domain offerings with its current DL family, both the Quantum- and Falconstor-based DLs as well as its broader data protection portoflio that includes Networker and Avamar - which also offer deduplication.

February Break: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by sgarcia70
Overall Member Rating
February Break
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth. As Latitudes members, we had shorter line getting on around 12 noon, but not much of a wait for all. Loved the fact that you have a choice when to disembark. Had a 5 pm flight backs to NY, so we chose to hang around until
9:30 am. Had to leave the cabin by 9 am. You even have option to depart first if ou carry out our own luggage!
Food exceeded our expectations. Maybe it was because we had low expectations, but we were extremely satisfied with the cruisine. Versailles and Acqua restaurants offered the same with a few exceptions. We ate most dinners and some lunches there with good experiences. Market Cafe buffet was fine for breakfast and More kids. Omelette stations are on the right side. Ate a Brazilian restaurant one night - excellent experiences. Otherwise, we did not feel the need to spend extra money on the others eateries.
The ship was fine considering its age. We thought it looked very nice overall. Enough places to get lost. Recommend deck 11 forward. Close to pool and market cafe. Great quiet spaces in front top decks. Always found lounges on sea days. Liked the water slides, and the back kids water slides area. Minisuite cabin 11506 was great with full bath, and room to move around.
Known as the "Happy Ship", we never met a friendly staff in our cruise experiences! Really impressed. Thay loved our kids. The Kids Academy was excellent as well - a key reason why we selected this cruise, along with the itinerary. We had an issue before we left, emailed the NCL VP, and accommodations we're made for our specific needs. Very impressed.
Stayed away from overpriced NCL excursions and did it on our own. Do your homework and find where to go, and have the local tour people help out with transportations. Highy recommend Goff's Cay in Belize, and West Bay in Roatan. Go to Tequila Beach in Costa Maya - no need for all inclusive though. Shopped in Cozumel - too burnt for beach that day.
Arrive day early in New Orleans. Recommend Hyatt Place overnight, French Market, mule ride, trolley ride. issued the aquarium and insect museum, but looked good. Ate at Emeril's Nola for lunch after cruise - yum!
Stay away from smelly areas in back of ship. Not fond of smoking areas as well. Look for the shining chef Bernardo in Market Cafe at night - grant entertainment! Good bands throughout ship. Did not watch shows - kids sleeping.
Not sure why these other reviews are so crabby! We really had a great time! Less

RUMOR OF NEW STATE STIRS CHINESE PRESS; Reports of Japanese Plan to Found One in Mongolia Rouse Derisive Comment.
Special Correspondence, THE NEW YORK TIMES. ();

, Section Editorial, Page E8, Column , words
SHANGHAI, Jan. 14. -- The Chinese press is considerably wrought up over reports from Peiping and Jehol to the effect that when a band of raiding Mongols was recently killed to the last man on the Jehol border, it was discovered that the group was officered by a Japanese, Lieutenant Matsui, and that he carried orders for the formation of a new State to be known as "Tayuankuo."

It has not been a good week for Portugal. Not only did its combined bid with Spain to host the World Cup soccer tournament in 2018 over Russia flop resoundingly, but all eyes appear to be focused on the nation as the next to require some type of financial bailout from the European Union.
Ireland announced it would cave to international pressure and accept a
bailout from the EU and International Monetary Fund for about $90
billion, the negative focus soon turned toward Portugal at a shocking
pace. After official bailout acceptances this year from Greece and
Ireland, Portugal was seen widely as the next European debt-saddled
nation to stumble toward the need for a lifeline.
And the outlook
update from at least one ratings agency this week did not help matter.
Standard & Poor's, who moved to cut the credit ratings of both
Greece and Ireland months before their official requests for bailout
loans, placed the republic "on CreditWatch with negative" implications:
CreditWatch placement reflects our view of increased risks to the
government's creditworthiness,' said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Frank Gill. 'These risks stem from uncertainty about the
government's possible recourse to official funding and the consequences
that obtaining such funding could have for the position of private-sector creditors vis-a-vis official
creditors after 2013.'
2011, Portugal's minority government is set to implement an ambitious
fiscal austerity program with an emphasis on reducing expenditures.
However, we see the government as having made little progress on any
growth-enhancing reforms to offset the fiscal drag from these scheduled
2011 budgetary cuts. In particular, we believe that policies the
government has pursued have done little to boost labor flexibility and
productivity. As a consequence of the Portuguese economy's structural
rigidities and the volatile external conditions, we project that the
economy will contract by at least 2% in 2011 in real terms. The downward
revision to our growth projection also reflects the fact that Portugal
has not reduced its large external current account deficit during 2010.
addition to what we view as the economy's weak growth prospects, the
large stock of Portuguese debt that non-residents hold (54% of GDP) has
increased the government's vulnerability to rising real interest rates.
This contributes to the country's large gross external financing needs
and, we believe, raises the likelihood that Portugal will seek external
assistance from the EU."

I will start by saying that I have had issues with the way my body was left after having 3 children. I've tried dieting, body building, basically becoming a gym rat to no avail I was still flabby, so I started my quest for a mommy makeover and searched for a plastic surgeon over the course of 2 months. I saw a total of 4 surgeons before I made my well thought out decision to do this, keeping in mind I have never had any kind of surgery before in my life. So, with that said I chose my plastic surgeon which just happend to be the best in the midwest I might add! My surgery was scheduled for June 10 2010.
The recovery is not a walk in the park. Would I do it again? I'm not sure, I may have split it up due to the effects of the anesthesia on me and being under for so long. The surgery lasted 7.5 hours and my surgeon required a overnight stay in the hospital. I wouldn't have had it any other way, in fact I don't know how a mommy makeover is done in a surgical center and then you go home a couple of hours later. I delt with nausea, hot flashes, pain med issues, it's not pretty! You have to wear a binder and a surgical bra which is uncomfortable on both ends as well as two drains to remove fluid frome the surgical site, oh yeah, and the itching that you can't scratch. I managed my pain with extra strength tylenol because the narcodics didn't sit well with me. I didn't have alot of pain so to speak and everyone was kinda shocked that I was able to get by with just tylenol, but again that is just me, an exception to the rule I guess. I have a high pain threshold, who knew?? I was laid up for about a week only getting up to go to the bathroom and to get something to eat.
I am now 12 days po I had my drains removed yesterday as well as my lipo and belly button stitches but I'm still in my binder and surgical bra. Of course I am am still healing but I am so happy and content with my results.
My surgeon is absolutely the best in the Chicagoland area. I saw my general practicioner today and she was absolutely amazed at my surgeons skill. You should be absolutely honest with yourself about what your expectations should be and what is surgically reasonable. For me my surgeon worked wonders on me he is a truly skilled and blessed. I am already considering my facelift in the near future.

Refrigerated prep tables feature an area on top that provides a solid work surface and cooled compartments for sandwich, salad or pizza ingredients and a cooler below that holds pans of food at safe temperatures.
Refrigerated prep tables use two basic types of cooling. Forced air units use one coil that cools the base and rail zone. The base needs to be at 40 degrees F, while the top is at 41 degrees F. Forced air units operate better in lower heat/humidity applications because one coil manages two different temperature zones.
Wrapped wall or conductive cooling systems use copper lines wrapped around the tank or pan opening, providing thermo transfer of the cold through the unit's walls. This creates a cold blanket of air above the product to protect it from ambient kitchen conditions. Because the pans sit below the cold air, the top of the food stays at 41 degrees F.
The prep table segment can be divided into raised rail or pizza tables, flat prep tables used for sandwich and salad prep, and multipurpose counter prep units. Flat prep units typically use forced air cooling, but raised rail tables are about half forced air and half wrapped wall.
Foodservice operators can choose from a variety of sizes. Raised rail units or pizza prep units typically measure between 43 and 119 inches long, with heights between 35 and 40 inches. Pan capacity is calculated by 1/3 pans in the rail. For example, prep tables between 43 and 48 inches long can accommodate six 1/3 pans.
Mega top prep tables typically have pan openings measured in 1/6 pans.
Refrigerated prep tables feature different configurations. These units offer between one and four doors, and may provide up to eight shelves or drawers for storage. The interiors generally accommodate between 6 and 15 pans, depending on the model. Some units offer a flour filter to help keep the compressor housing clean. A drain in the unit's rail simplifies cleaning.
Wrapped rail/conductive cold wall cooling units may offer an on/off rail switch or separate controls for adjusting rail temperatures. A hot gas condensate evaporator and easy-to-remove gaskets also are standard on some units.
All models have stainless steel exteriors. Cabinet backs and bottoms are typically constructed of galvanized steel, while interiors can be stainless steel, painted aluminum or painted galvanized steel. Doors generally include foamed-in-place, high density polyurethane insulation.
Stay-open door features assist with easy loading. An automatic evaporator fan motor delay on some units stops when the door opens to prevent condensation from developing by mixing cold interior air with ambient air temperature. A 30-second stay open door alarm and 1-piece magnetic door gaskets are standard on some tables.
Prep tables are one of the most frequently used and
abused pieces of equipment in the kitchen. For this reason, foodservice operators should take extra care in cleaning and maintaining these units.
Please note that the list below contains general maintenance information and should not be substituted for the manufacturer's requirements and recommendations.

I have a used factory turbo from a 2002 Subaru WRX. It has no shaft play and only needs the bolts that attach the actuator to the wastegate. It has one broken stud on the exhaust flange. It has all the OEM oil and coolant fittings still attached. This would be great to use for a core to send off to Deadbolt for their monster treatment or a great replacement for your blown factory turbo. $150. I make no guarantees or warranties on this item, it is being purchased AS IS. No returns. Thanks

My parents are considering a new Corolla. With the new cheaper Jetta out now, I recommended that they go check it out. They liked it, but said they can't live without cruise control. Is there any way to add this?
My parents are considering a new Corolla. With the new cheaper Jetta out now, I recommended that they go check it out. They liked it, but said they can't live without cruise control. Is there any way to add this?
You can add it, and it is pretty cheap. Any good Audio Place should be able to take care of it. Heck, ask the dealer if they can install it, Im sure they have an audio/video guy.
Is is OE or aftermarket?
Holy crap the jetta doesn't have cruise control???
EVE's Build Thread APR Stage II / BSH RACE / B&B 3" / DG S6 / B&G RS2 / MOTUL / VMR
facebook twitter wheelflip PM me for VAGCOM in NoVA
Its not going to be as easy as you think it will be with Drive By Wire setup.
AFAIK, the OEM cruise control stalk is about $30-$40 (for Golf MK6, I assume Jetta uses the same one). It is an easy replacement job + vag-com
Adding just the stalk seems too easy to be true - I'd definitely go talk to the Parts/Svc department at VW before taking the plunge.
I would highly encourage your Parents to buy the Jetta over the Corolla,its a far superior car,as you know.
This is probably not as easy as vagcom coding a car. Mk6 Golf/GTI and Mk6 Jetta 2.0 do not have the same electrical systems.
Mk6 Golf/GTI = high system
Mk6 Jetta = low system(alot less wiring and control modules)
I know this thread is now a few months old, but has anyone actually added cruise control to the New Jetta IV? If so could someone post instructions and/or pictures or a full DIY?
Up here in the Canadian North The base model is called the Trendline. (2.0)
One model up is the Trendline+ it adds...
60/40 split folding rear seat
6-way manual front seats
Air conditioning
Keyless entry
That is all I want, except cruise...
I would have no problem adding it myself, but I would like to know what would be involved. Obviously it would mean changing the stalk, probably adding some missing wires to a harness somewhere etc... What else? and what would need to be done to the ECU? (via Vag com?)
A complete DIY would be great. If someone has done this, I'd love to hear from you.
I then checked with the only other VW dealer in town, and their service department spent some time looking into it, and told me straight up that they can't find any information on how it could be done.
I would love to hear from someone who has done it. I'm assuming all that it would need (besides the new arm) is a re-program of the steering wheel control module and/or engine control module via VAG COM or VCDS (or dealer software) and possibly a rewire between the new arm and the steering wheel control module. As it is a 2.0, I would think it would be a fairly straight forward process.
I do not have VAG COM or VCDS, but would consider buying it if this makes it work, as I've read it can also enable window roll-up with lock and window roll-down with unlock from the remote, much like the KWS-100 that I have used on my MK4.
[QUOTE=JohnIBarr01;71754653]GAH. VI ≠ IV. Stupid n00bs.
My bad. My old Jetta is a MK IV, my new one is a MK VI, and I don't speak Roman
and by KWS100 I meant the KVW100 Window Roll Up/Down Flash Load Module available from ECS Tuning (http://www.ecstuning.com) or in Canada from ziggi tuning (http://ziggituning.com)
I have this on my old MK IV, and would love to have this function on my new MK VI
For those who do not know what the KVW100 does, when you press lock on the remote, the doors lock and all the windows (and sunroof if equipped) close. Holding unlock opens the windows.
... but back on topic...
Has anybody added or tried to add cruise to a base Jetta VI yet ?
For Cruise Control: I can double check what's required, but I assume the steering wheel control module, stalk, wiring and coding of the ECU. You will be better off comparing the VCDS scans from mk6 Jettas with and without CC.
If you could double check that would be greatly appreciated...
and part numbers for the stalk (arm) and the steering wheel control module (if needed).
Also if wires need to be added/moved, from where to where (pin/wire color), and of course what settings to be changed with VAG COM or VCDS.
I'd love to put together a DIY (if there is not already one) for this mod, as I have found many DIY's here very helpful/useful when I made my numerous mods to my MK IV Jetta GLS.
...and if I can get enough information to do this, anyone who helped would get a thanks in the DIY
Would a stalk from a mk5 jetta work?
Looks like this is going nowhere...
I looked up all the info I could and here is what I've got.
On the hardware end you would have to swap the turn signal part of the cluster (maybe possible) or just swap it for the complete switch assembly with the correct leaver. Also need to add 5 wires to the harness for the turner leaver. On my car it currently has 7 of the 12 wires needed per ELSA. The problem is that 4 of those wires go to the vehicle system control module (VSCM) which is the 73 pin plug near the inside fuse panel. However those 5 wires are mapped for the highline (73b) version of the module. And the fifth wire goes to the ECM (under the hood). The other problem is that I think my car (Jetta S) has the lowline VSCM (73a). I do not know how to verify which I have tho. If the 4 wires are able to be plugged into the lowline VSCM the mapping isn't the same (pins 44,45,46,47) because pin 44 on 73a (the lowline) is supposedly mapped to the "Ignition Starter Switch Supply (15) Input Signal" and pin 45 on 73a is supposedly mapped to the "Parking Lamp Switch Input Signal" and the other pis (46,47) are not assigned. Perhaps it is still possible to install it but the pins are mapped differently? I have the ELSA diagrams if anyone cares to give some input or wants to see the diagrams just let me know. This may not be a lost cause.
On a side note:
Not sure if this is normal but when I saw peoples pics of their ABS modules from the ESP install threads, I noticed that mine, a presumebly lower lever ABS since I have a Jetta S, had more wires in the ABS than that of someone who had a higher level car SE/TDI. Any thoughts?
Check out www.rostra.com for aftermarket cruise. Ties into harness behind factory radio. Radio doctor quoted me 489.00 installed.

SensFloor, a large-area sensor system, is based on a textile underlay with a thickness of only 3 mm. The sensor system has four integrated radio modules and 32 proximity sensors per square meter. Whenever a person walks across the floor, sensor signals are sent to a control unit and various different types of events are identified: The sensor system differentiates between a person standing or lying on the floor and determines the direction and velocity of movements. Static signal detection and self-test capability are important features for security applications.
SensFloor switches lights, controls automatic doors, and detects unauthorised intrusion. In health care, SensFloor detects patients leaving their beds or their rooms and transmits alarm signals through indoor call systems or radio components. For high-security applications like access control in combination with RFID, SensFloor can count individual people.
SensFloor can be installed beneath PVC, carpet, and laminate.
The SensFloor project is supported by the German Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (FKZ 16SV393X). For project description and partners see (> SensFloor)

Caged Fury
Kimbo Slice is an absolute bad-ass. If you need proof, search his name on YouTube and watch a bevy of videos of him pummeling some random dudes face into creamed corn. Most men dare not even imagine stepping into one of those bare-knuckle bouts with Slice. There are several reasons: Mainly, even the most macho of dudes have no desire to find out what their own teeth taste like when forcibly swallowed. Also, most would-be contenders are likely fond of their brain and would not want it dislodged or moved around in their skull in any way. Not wanting to shit ones pants is probably in there somewhere as well.
Tonight the underground fighting sensation takes to the ring in his heavily anticipated MMA cage-fighting matchup with David Tank Abbott at the EliteXC. After defeating Ray Mercer last year, Slice expressed in a postbout interview his desire to fight the equally bad-ass Tank Abbott. Abbott, who was sitting ringside, loudly accepted and then suggested the two men take it to the parking lot right then and there. Needless to say (but well say it anyway), tonight it is so on. See two titans clash at 7:30 in the BankUnited Center. Tickets range from $35 to $700. Visit www.ticketmaster.com or www.elitexc.com.
