AMO/Marketplace currently use the HighCharts charting library from highcharts.com. However, this code is dual-licensed under either CC-BY-NC or a proprietary license, neither of which are open source. http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html It is arguable whether our use of it counts as non-commercial; however, we did obtain permission from the developer, so that particular aspect is not a problem. We are not violating the license he has given us. However, the fact remains that the license is not open source, so we need to replace our use of this library with something which is. Tarek Ziade suggests Rickshaw and d3.js: http://code.shutterstock.com/rickshaw/ Why do we need to do that? Our aim at Mozilla is to make great software that other people can use, for any purpose. This is certainly true of AMO/Marketplace, because we hope that there will be lots of Marketplaces, in contrast to the single Apple Store or Google Play. However, people can't just take our code and use it to make a new marketplace if some of it has a "no commercial use" restriction. That's why we write open source software, and why the goodness of doing so is written in our manifesto. Related bug: 758185 (input.mozilla.org). Gerv

We use Flot in webtools. http://www.flotcharts.org/ I recommend it to projects trying to move away from highcharts.
Comment 2•

I suggest Flot because it is the most fully featured, canvas-based FOSS graphing library I know. Rickshaw has matured quite a bit since I last looked; it also seems like a viable replacement now. I'm a little concerned about SVG performance on mobile, but maybe that has also improved since I looked.

Thanks for filing this. Due to resource constraints we are closing bugs which we won't realistically be able to fix. If you have a patch that applies to this bug please reopen. For more info see http://micropipes.com/blog/2014/09/24/the-great-add-on-bug-triage/

Resolving this bug as WONTFIX suggests that this situation is acceptable. Without wanting to lay blame on anyone for how we got to where we are, this isn't acceptable. If we are serious about the FxOS ecosystem being different, and being very cool with multiple marketplaces existing, then we should be removing barriers to other people building marketplaces. Making our marketplace properly open source (and therefore usable by anyone, including commercial entities) is a good step there. Gerv

Marketplace doesn't use highcharts anymore AFAIK. The Marketplace app statistics pages [0][1] are powered by d3.js which is open-source [2]. [0] https://marketplace.firefox.com/statistics/app/<slug> [1] https://github.com/mozilla/marketplace-stats [2] https://github.com/mbostock/d3/blob/master/LICENSE Anyway, since we splitted Marketplace from AMO some time ago (including the code), changing the summary of this bug to only mention AMO - if Marketplace is still affected somehow then let's open another bug with the Marketplace product.

The Marketplace does not use Highcharts anymore. We now use the BSD-licensed D3: https://github.com/mozilla/marketplace-stats/blob/master/src/media/js/lib/d3.v3-min.js AMO, unfortunately, still uses Highcharts.

Great news about Marketplace :-) I hope we can fix AMO at some point; we should leave this bug open. But I agree that the argument in para 2 of comment 4 applies less to AMO. Gerv

The actress had her breast implants removed because she felt like living a lie with them.
Kelly McGillis once underwent a breast enlargement operation - but she had the implants removed after realizing she was living a "lie". The "Top Gun" star went under the knife in a bid to boost her chest and improve her confidence, but she eventually came to regret the procedure.
And the actress admits she only found happiness after learning to accept her natural looks. She tells Britain's The Times Magazine, "I once had a boob job but I took them out because it felt like a frigging lie. People would say, 'You have nice t*ts' and I'd be like, 'F**k, they're not mine.' "
Sharing her other effort to enhance her physical appearance, she reveals, "I did try Botox but let me tell you, trying to do Shakespeare without being able to move your face is the most frustrating thing in the land. What's wrong with me as I am? I'm convinced the industry is going to need 70 year olds who look 70."

2004 Volkswagen Golf news, pictures, specifications, and information
The Concept
28 years ago Volkswagen presented at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt the first GTI - and the legend began.
The world premiere of the first Golf GTI was in 1975 at the same position and also as a concept vehicle. In June 1976, series production began. What happened thereafter is the making of a legend. At the start, the vehicles were finished in either silver or red and were originally intended as just a limited edition of 5000 GTIs. But it turned out very differently. With a powerful 81 kW / 110 hp output and top speed of 182 km/h, the Golf GTI won a new clientele and established the GTI class as a compact sports car. From the original 5000 vehicles, more than four generations and more than 1.5 million Golf GTIs have evolved to date.
The concept emulates consciously the stylistic characteristics of the first GTI generation; which means, of course, that it is finished in red wîth black contrasting features.
With the Golf GTI concept, as shown in Frankfurt, Volkswagen is now demonstrating how GTI history will develop. The concept consciously emulates the GTI of the first generation. Therefore it has to be red, it has to have a black radiator grille, and it has to rise above the other models of the series wîth substantial modifications. After all, the first GTI also distinguished itself wîth a markedly independent appearance: The black bumpers and flared wings, the black side bump strips, the black rear window frame and the characteristic red trim around the black radiator grille of the original GTI are so clear today as if the vehicle had just yesterday been presented in Frankfurt.
As wîth all leading examples, the Golf GTI was copied by many. The models came in many shapes and forms, such as GSI, GTE, XRi, GTX, and disappeared from the market long ago. Not one of them came even close to the comparable status of a Golf GTI.
From this unmistakable GTI tradition evolved the new concept vehicle. Based on the majestic dynamics of the new model generation, the engineers and designers developed a GTI that accentuates the original version, whilst paving the way to the future wîth an extremely sporty, extremely independent and extremely well proven presence.
The exterior design - The Golf GTI concept, like the roadster concept R, shows dominant V-shaped flowing lines at the front end
The concept combines traditional GTI features wîth the front end design of a future generation. Inline wîth the concept R roadster, presented on 1st September, the GTI also has a striking V motive in the design of the front end. The bonnet features an arrow shaped modulation, which continues the flowing lines in the area of the front skirt to form a frame for the shield-like, highly polished, black radiator grille. The radiator grille features a honeycomb mesh and is surrounded, characteristically for a GTI, by a red trim strip.
Beneath this are three large air inlets in the bumper that supply the new FSI turbo engine wîth fresh air. As in the radiator grille, each of the inlets have mesh panels wîth a honeycomb structure.
Furthermore, in best GTI style, the underside area of the vehicle features deep black body parts in the way of sill panels and end elements in the front and rear skirts. The sill panels are drawn high into the wheelarches to act as protection against stone chips.
In contrast to the Trendline, Comfortline and Sportline versions, the rear end makes its mark characteristically for a GTI wîth an even more striking roof spoiler and chrome twin tail pipes.
The interior design - cult status? This came about thanks to the exterior, the drive technology and the interior. The GTI concept of 2003 takes this history further.
The original GTI did not just become a great hit wîth the fans due to its performance, its agile handling properties and exterior design, even its individually designed interior set new standards thanks to an ergonomic and sporty style. Details such as the sports seats, wîth legendary criss-cross design on black background, the three-spoked sports §teering wheel or the gearstick knob shaped like a golf ball were the counterpoints that attracted a new sporty clientele.
Time flies: More noble than ever and catapulted almost three decades into the future, the GTI concept carries on this dynamic style further. With anthracite headliner and anthracite coloured pillar trim panels, the interior is characterised by markedly high attention to detail. As the doors are opened, the journey therefore starts in a new but familiar GTI world.
The sports seating features black matt and anthracite coloured suede and, in addition, the interior is refined wîth brushed aluminium
The entry step trim, pedals and floor panels of the concept are all finished in brushed aluminium. As an anti-slip measure, the aluminium is enhanced wîth rubber strips. The completely new leather sports seats (contoured single seats are also installed in the rear) have an ergonomically perfect and inviting appeal just by lòòking at them. Take a seat and the appeal is confirmed. The very high backrests, in particular, and adjustable head restraints, integrated here optically, create an ambience of extraordinary sporty functionality. Detailed perfection is a bonus: GTI logos are embroidered into the head restraints. The upholstery trim of the seats has also been newly designed: The main material used is black, fine suede. Running across this are narrow strips of perforated suede; the front surface of the head restraints is covered wîth this on the inner area.
As wîth the first GTI generation of 1976, this GTI concept of 2003 is also distinguished by a three spoke §teering wheel wîth metal elements. The leather §teering wheel features a brushed aluminium element in each of the spokes. A further GTI logo is embroidered in the vertical spoke. The moulded grips of the §teering wheel, that is on the left and right of the cross spoke extensions, are covered in suede, similar to that used in the world of racing.
The instruments in the vehicle were also revamped. Their graphic layout and design give an image of technical precision in its highest form. Each of the round main instruments is surrounded by a ring of machined aluminium. The rev counter mounted on the left has an ample range up to 8000 rpm, hitting the red line area from 7000 rpm. This clear overview is continued wîth the scaling of the speedometer.
The constructive basis of the compact sports car is the fifth generation, 22 million bestseller Golf. The two door version, though, is more striking than ever in terms of the design compared to the four door, wîth a much higher waistline at the rear.
Technically, the GTI concept features all of the advantages of the Golf series that are generally set as the standard in its class. Included here are the extremely high quality bodywork, the new safety running gear designed for driving dynamics (including ESP and dual brake assist system), the new electro-mechanical §teering, the efficient technology of fuel stratified injection (FSI) - enhanced in the case of the GTI wîth a turbocharger, and the spectacular direct selection gearbox (DSG).
In contrast to the standard production model, the concept vehicle naturally has numerous differences. With the high output and GTI philosophy in mind, the car features a substantially stiffer, but still comfortable, sporty running gear. Newly designed 18 inch alloy wheels, sporting wide tyres, provide the majestic contact wîth the road and ensure that the larger sized braking system, wîth red finished brake calipers, is well accommodated. The exhaust system is completely new and features twin tail pipes.
The question is now will the concept make it to series GTI production? The signs are extremely good. Relevant tests and preparations are underway. And the product launch date? Let's just say: If it's high-tech and outstanding performance, wîth the GTI philosophy in mind, that people are lòòking for, they will find it all at the 2004 Motor Show in Paris. The stage will then be set to make what we can expect of the GTI in the future, a GTI that we can have now.

The New Golf Is Now Also Available With A 1.9 TDI With 90 BHP
WOLFSBÚRG, Germany - Volkswagen has once again improved the Golf's engine range wîth an important addition: the 1.9 TDI wîth 66 kW / 90 bhp.
A new TDI entry-level vehicle which will round off the bottom end of the TDI range. For the Trendline option, wîth its comprehensive equipment level and Climatic, the new Golf 1.9 TDI costs 17 950 euros and can be ordered immediately.
Like the TDI Models wîth 77 kW / 105 hp and 103 kW / 140 hp, the 66 kW / 90 hp version also has plenty of low-end acceleration. Even at 1,800 rpm, this 'small' TDI develops a torque of 240 Nm. Whether as a two or four-door, wîth the 1.9 TDI, the new Golf reaches a top speed of 176 km/h.
As can be expected, the new model is very economic. An average of 5.0 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres flow through the innovative direct injection unit injectors. The Golf 1.9 TDI also has tax benefits in Germany, as it, like all fifth generation Golfs, fulfils the stringent Euro 4 standards.
( posted on conceptcarz.com)
The equipment level is no different to the more powerful TDI engines. The Golf Trendline has the following features as standard: electro-mechanical power §teering, easy-entry (2-door vehicles), remote control central locking, six airbags, active head restraints in the front, three head restraints plus centre three-point seatbelt in the rear as well as ESP wîth integrated ABS, EDL, TCS and brake assistant (Dual Brake Assist). For the Golf's 30th birthday, the semi-automatic air conditioner Climatic is also being included at no extra cost.

Manufactured by Volkswagon in 1974, the Golf compact car that has become their best-selling vehicle with over 24 million built. In 1975 it was featured as Wheels magazine's Car of the Year.
Several versions and variations have been produced over the years, most famously, the 3-door hatchback style, the 5-door hatchback, as a sedan, convertible and as a station wagon. The Golf is an example of a hot hatch vehicle.
The success of the Golf was paramount to Volkswagon, as it aided the struggling company in the early 1970's (after terminal sales of the Beetle had plunged the company into decline) and turned sales around. Volkswagon has always had the reputation for solid built-quality and reliable engineering, the design and record breaking sales reinforced this. The public was repeatedly turning away from the Type 3 and Type 4 at this time, and showed no interest in Volkswagen's air cooled, rear-engined models.
The Auto Union GmbH, which owned Audi became the saving grace for the struggling German car giant. Aquiring the Ingolstad company in the autumn of 1964 from Daimley-Benz in 1964 a huge turn-around occurred in Volkswagen production as they gained access to Audi's expertse in water-colled engines and front wheel drive which where crucial in producing the new generation of Volkswagens.
The Golf was marketed in the U.S. and Canada as the Rabbit, and in Mexico as the Caribe. In South Africa, a Volkswagon CitiGolf, an entry level still produced, is a version of the original Golf model.
The Volkswagon Golf was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, Italian automoble architect of ItalDesign design studio.
Deciding to lower costs by producing locally, Volkswagon chose James McLernon, a former Chevrolet executive, to run a factory in Westmoreland County, PA. It was 1978, and Volkswagon became the first European car manufacturer to produce a vehicle in the U.S.
Over the years, McLernon tried to soften the suspension, and used cheaper materials for the interior to 'Americanize' the car. Company executives in Germany weren't happy with the changes made and reverted back to stiffer shocks, suspensions and higher quality interior trim.
The PA plant continued producing Volkswagons through 1984, GTI for the North American market, and also the first Caddy pick-up, based on the MK1 Golf.
Considered to be the third best car during the 1980's, the GTI Mk I, also known as the Rabbit GTI.
Launched in Europe in 1976, and in the US in 1983, the GTI version
With a more advanced power output, due to the newly adopted fuel injection, the hot hatch came with a 1588 cc engine with 100 PS (81 kW/108 hp). Eventually the car became updated with larger bumpers, new dashboard, square headlights and larger rear lamp clusters.
In 1985 the GTI became the Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year. As well as being considered to be the 'Best Golf of all time' by VWVortex's
The Cabriolet, the convertible was sold from 1980 for 13 years and had a transverse roll bar and reinforced body.
It wasn't until 1983 that the second-generation Golf was introduced. This vehicle wasn't available in the U.S. until 1985.The main modifications being a larger bodyshell, more engine options, and a supercharged 8v 'G60' with both 2wd and 4wd options.
The second-generation Golfs were produced at the Westmoreland plant before it closed in July of 1988 due to unsatisfactory sales production. The Pennsylvania plant was also were the North American Rabbit was produced until this setback moved all production to Germany and Mexico.
A special edition G60 Limited was released in a very limited capacity with only 72 available, all featuring a unique number and plaque. The Volkswagen Motorsport division designed these all-black models in 1989 produced 212 bhp and were the most powerful VW Golfs to have ever been released.
The G60 Supercharger had a unique blue grille detail, had a two-headlight grille rather than the standard four headlight found on standard GTI's and came with a 16-valve engine. These limited edititions were unrivaed as the ost powerful VW's until the release of the MKIV Golf R32 in 2003.
Popular in the mountainous regions of central Europe, an off roading vehicle that came with four wheel drive, bullbars, a spare wheel mounted on the rear, the added capacity for more suspension travel, was the Golf Country. Several of these off-roading vehicles came with the 75 hp 1.6 GTD turbo diesel engine, and 114 bhp 1.8 8v petrol engine.
In November of 1991, Volkswagon released a third-generation Golf. It wasn't until 1993 when the MK III was released in North America. By 1992, Golf was elected Car of the Year.
As the diesel craze swept through Europe in the late 1900s and eaerly 2000s, Volkswagen released the Golf MK III with a direct-injection system, and the ability to achieve over 50 hp/L it aided in power without loss of fuel efficiency while still retaining massive amounts of low –end torque.
Volkswagen was the sponsor of three very high profile rock bands' European tours and even issues special edition Golf's for each band. Pink Floyd edition in 1994, Rolling Stones 1995 and Bon Jovi edition in 1996 all carried distinctive exterior markings making these exclusive collectibles during the 1990s.
The very limited '20th Anniversary' 1000 special-edition GTI was released in 1996. Sold in only 6 colour schemes, this exclusive model was only produced for the European market and not available in the UK. Today it is seen as the rarest MK III model available.
The Golf IV, launched in 1997, eventually became the biggest selling car in Europe at one point. More expensive than other models in its class at the time, the newest Golf came with much more exlusive interior and sophisticated styling.
This newest model held true to the standard Golf concept, but it did include the new 'arched' styling themes first found on the MK IV Pasasat making it a more appealing model. With an average chassis, the handling and the ride was considered to be inferior compared to the MK IV Vauxhall and the MK II Astra and eventually the Ford Focus (released the following year),
Produced in Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Belgium, South Africa, Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Golf IV also released a model in Bosnia for the local market only.
A saloon version of the MK IV was created, as the Volkswagen Bora. In North America it was released as the Jetta. The Bora/Jetta featured front wing and bonnet as well as unique rear doors. The new model came in either three or five-door hatchbacks, or as a five-door station wagon.
Introduced to the U.S. in 1999, the Golf IV came with a 2.0 L gasoline engine and a 1.9 L turbocharged diesel TGI engine. In 2000 Volkswagen updated the base engine to the fairly new 1.8 L turbocharged gasoline engine. In 2003, a 24-valve version of its VR6 engine was introduced by Volkswagen and the ability to achieve an extra 26 hp. Featuring the first 6-speed manual available to theMK IV, the 1.8T and VR6 models
It was during the Frankfurt Motor Show in October of 2005 that the fifth generation Gold was revealed to the public. In Europe sales were opened a month later, though it wasn't released to the U.S. for three more years. In January of 2006, GTI form was the only release until the Spring of 2006.
Volkswagen announced on April 12, 2006 that they will change the name of Golf back to Rabbit for the new lineup introduced to the U.S. and Canadian markets, though the name will remain Golf in the rest of the world.
By Jessica Donaldson
The Volkswagen Golf GTI was unveiled in 1975 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The ÚK market had to wait a further two years for vehicles to arrive – 1977 saw 34 examples, all of them left hand drive, sold in the GTI's first tentative year.
The GTI was powered by a 1,588 cc four cylinder engine wîth K-Jetronic fuel injection it developed 110 PS at 6,100 rpm and 103 lbs ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. This allowed the GTI, which weighed 810 kg unladen, to hit 60 mph from standstill in nine-seconds before reaching a top speed of 110 mph.
The now familiar mix of a high-revving, responsive four-cylinder engine installed in a hatchback body wîth the emphasis on driving fun was linked to a pared down interior came as a revelation at the time. Especially when combined wîth tartan trim and the now iconic golf ball gearshift.
The car was an instant hit. By the time right-hand drive cars arrived in the ÚK in 1979 a total of 1,573 cars were sold in that year, a number that would triple within two years.
In 1984 the Mk II GTI was launched and picked up where the Mk I left off. A new chassis structure, a 1,781 cc engine developing 112 PS and 114 lbs ft of torque and new styling evolved the GTI and saw it appeal to a new generation of fans. Sales of the Mk II GTI surpassed those of the Mk I, peaking at 17,193 vehicles in 1989. In Germany a supercharged G60 version developing 160 PS was sold, an output that wouldn't be bettered in a GTI until 2002.
Three years later the Mk III GTI was launched, bringing wîth it a new 2.0-litre eight-valve engine and improved aerodynamics over the previous Mk I and Mk II models. In 1993 the GTI fitted was wîth a 2.0-litre 16-valve engine, raising the power output from 115 PS in the eight-valve model up to a more substantial 150 PS and 133 lbs ft of torque to drop the 0-60 mph time to 8.3 seconds and raise the top speed to 133 mph.
The introduction of the Mk IV GTI in 1998 saw significant changes to the line-up wîth the first diesel-engined GTI introduced along wîth two petrol engines in a total of four different states of tune. The Mk IV GTI made significant gains in refinement and safety – in 2002 the fastest accelerating and most powerful GTI produced up until that point was released in the form of the 180 PS GTI 25th Anniversary Edition. It was the success of this more powerful vehicle that inspired the introduction of the Mk V GTI.
Launched in September 2004 at the Paris Motor Show the Mk V GTI equipped wîth a 200 PS engine was not only the most powerful but also the most focused GTI yet produced. A new 2.0-litre T-FSI engine linked to a six-speed gearbox and standard Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) were linked to a new chassis equipped wîth MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link configuration at the rear. The vehicle was 15 mm lower than the standard Golf on new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars.
Visual cues were taken from the original GTI wîth the return of the tartan interior and the red surround to the grille element – even the GTI typeface used on the badge echoed that of the original.
The Mk V GTI served as a basis for two special editions – the Pirelli and Edition 30. Both models were powered by an evolution of the 2.0-litre T-FSI engine fitted to the conventional GTI, albeit both producing 230 PS.
The wildest GTI ever created – the GTI W12-650 – was also based on the Mk V. Powered by a mid-mounted 6.0-litre W12 engine producing 650 PS the vehicle could accelerate to 62 mph in 3.7-seconds and could theoretically achieve a maximum speed of 201 mph.
Production of the Mk V Golf ceased in August 2008 wîth a total of 17,630 examples sold in the ÚK alone. In total over 1,700,000 examples of the GTI have been sold worldwide since the vehicle went on sale in 1976.

A compact car manufacturer in Germany, the Rabbit originally debuted in Europe in 1974 as the Volkswagen Golf and it adopted the Rabbit moniker once it made its first appearance in Canada and the U.S. in 1975. The named was switched back to the original Golf name in 1985 and it remained that way for 21 years.
In 1975, Volkswagen introduced the Rabbit as an attempt to correct flagging sales for their company. At the time, Japanese auto makers were competing with the VW Beetle by introducing little 'econoboxes' at a much cheaper price and were overwhelming the U.S. market. Cute, compact and a front wheel drive vehicle, the Rabbit was priced nearly the same as a Japanese econobox, but with a water-cooled 4 cylinder engine with a transversely mounted engine that drove the front wheels.
Replacing the Beetle in the U.S. market, it wasn't until about 4 years after it was introduced when the Rabbit finally became popular, most of this due to the oil crisis. Fuel economy was excellent on the tiny little car, 45 in the city, and up to 57 mpg on the highway, this could be combined with the optional 1.514 cylinder Diesel. Enthusiasts clamored for this new Volkswagen. In 1979 production for the U.S. market was relocation to New Stanton, Pennsylvania and the first Rabbit rolled off the assembly line on April 10th, 1978. NBC news was on hand to document the first foreign vehicle to be built in the U.S.A. Production of the VW went from April of 1978 until July 1988 at the New Stanton plant before they closed. A total of 1,192,411 vehicles were produced at this plant.
For the late 1979 model year the Rabbit received a make-over as the production was moved. The largest and most noticeable change to the American Rabbit, were the addition of all new square headlights. 1979 was also the year that the Rabbit Convertible was introduced and featured the body of the Rabbit, but featured a soft vinyl top. The convertible featured the round headlights that were found on older-model rabbit's.
The Rabbit received yet another make-over in 1981 and featured the new square headlight from the previous year, with wrap around turn signals that replaced the ones that had been used previously in the bumper. Inside, the Rabbit received a much more modern 'Americanized' interior that was color keyed completely in the inside. For the 1981 model year, the engine was upgraded to a larger size and the gas engine leaped from 1.6 to 1.71 and the diesel also shot from a 1.5 to a 1.6.
During its production run, the VW Rabbit didn't receive many changes, though it did undergo many improvements. The Rabbit pickup was debuted in 1979 late in the year for the 1980 model year. The pickup was lengthened by 3 feet and had great hauling capacity and was offered with either a diesel or gas engine, though most were sold as diesels.
The GTi was introduced in 1982 and a much more sporty rendition of the VW Rabbit. The engine was a 1.81 and it featured a much stiffer suspension, front air dam, alloy wheels and unique Recaro sports seats. All of the grand features that drivers wanted were improved, the top speed, the handling and the acceleration on the GTi.
In 1982 a special 'black tie' edition Rabbit was introduced and featured black bumpers and mouldings that gave it an elegant look. On the inside, special seats were utilized and a rear wiper was also added. A Wolfsburg Edition Rabbit was debuted for 1984. A lush Rabbit model, the Wolfsburg came with a very unique interior, along with an extra moulding on the bottom of the door, and A/C.
The Volkswagen Golf was introduced in July of 1984 and the Rabbit stepped aside a bit. After being redesigned and renamed, the Rabbit convertible became the Cabriolet, and more recently to the Cabrio. Though it was not a long-lasting vehicle, the Rabbit was a popular vehicle that made a big impact on the history of Volkswagen. Today, the Rabbit is still a popular vehicle that is still in high demand all over the U.S. Though U.S. production has stopped, the MK1's continue to be produced by Volkswagen of South Africa dubbed as the CitiGolf model.
Volkswagen of America announced the return of the Rabbit on April 12, 2006 at the Detroit Auto Show. This was due partly to the decline of sales for the VW Golf in the North American market and VW of America choosing to re-brand the Golf name. This newly introduced model is the same as the Golf V that is sold worldwide.
For the 2007 model year, the Mk V Rabbit replaced the VW Golf and the engine was upgraded to a standard 2.5-L 150-hp I-5 for both the 2-door and 4-door models. The '06 Rabbit was available in two trims, a 2-door and a 4-door hatchback. The 2-door came wit a 150-hp 2.5L DOHC engine, speed sensitive wipers, 10-speaker AM/FM CD stereo system, 6 way manually adjustable driver's seat and turn signal indicator in side mirrors. The 4-door rabbit came with a 150-hp 2.5L DOHC engine, heatable front seats, adjustable lumbar support for both driver and front passenger, light tinted windows, and 60/40 folding rear seat.
By March 2009 the Volkswagen again chose to drop the 'Rabbit' nomenclature and chose once again to rename it the 'Golf'. Volkswagen debuted the all new Golf/Rabbit online on August 2008, thought the official unveiling of the 6th generation occurred at the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October 2008. The newest Golf/Rabbit will be wider than before and will feature body styling similar to the VW Scirocco as well as tail-lamps that remind one of the Touareg. Under the hood was a range of 2-diesel (1.9-liter and 2.0-liter TDI) and 3 Petrol (1.4-liter TSI, 1.8-liter and 2.0-liter TFSI) burning engines. The '09 Rabbit features a 5-cylinder engine with Tiptronic 6 speed automatic transmission which can be adjusted to sport mode which allows for longer RPM runs before gear shifting. To keep the engine in the power band, the sport mode also aggressively down shifts. A manual mode is available as an alternative that allowed the driver to shift gears up and down, much like a F1 car.
On October 15, 2008 the first U.K. example of the all new Golf was auction off for charity by the London Press Club Ball. All of the proceeds went to the 'Journalists' Charity', a UK charity for journalists in need.
At this time there are no hybrid variants of the VW rabbit, but there is also an opportunity that Volkswagen's 2.0 liter clean diesel engine will be available from 2008 on. Outside of North America the VW Rabbit is known as the Golf and over 5 generations and more than 24 million vehicles have been produced.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/5/2013 (1555 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRANDON -- It's the news countless travellers in the Brandon region have been waiting to hear -- WestJet is coming to the Wheat City.
WestJet Encore president Ferio Pugliese was at the Brandon airport on Monday to announce daily, non-stop air service between Brandon and Calgary will begin Sept. 3.
"Why Brandon? Well it just made absolute sense for us," Pugliese said following a press conference at the Brandon airport. "It has a lot of both business and leisure travellers that fit into our market, and gives us the opportunity to connect people into our network."
Once the announcement was made, resounding applause broke out from the crowd of roughly 200 people in attendance.
"What a grand, grand day it is today," said Mayor Shari Decter Hirst. "I have always believed that we could get WestJet to land in Brandon."
Flights, using smaller 78-seat turboprops, will leave Calgary every day at 9:50 a.m. for the two-hour flight to Brandon, which will arrive at 12:50 p.m. The return flight from Brandon to Calgary will take off at 1:20 p.m. and arrive in Calgary at 2:35 p.m.
Currently, bookings on the WestJet website run about $300 for the round trip, with taxes included.
Pugliese said the company expects those planes to be full.
Brandon had been trying to persuade WestJet to bring regular air service to the city ever since the airline announced the new regional service last year.
Brandon presented a business case to WestJet last June. The creative pitch included identification tags with phrases linked to Brandon, postcards with Brandon landscape and streetscape scenes, fake boarding passes to Brandon in a WestJet envelope and a mockup of a WestJet airline magazine.
As part of Brandon's major push to woo WestJet, a petition was also launched, which garnered more than 10,000 signatures.
Sandy Trudel, the city's economic development director, said her team is ecstatic.
"We knew we had a solid business case, we knew the opportunity was there, and to have WestJet recognize that and choose Brandon in the first tier, that is just so rewarding," she said, adding regular air service will give Brandon direct connectivity to the global market.
It is also opening the door to other potential events, conferences and conventions.
"Those events that needed air service, we now can service," Trudel said.
Mayor Decter Hirst said in addition to the business opportunities, regular air service will also provide "wonderful quality-of-life opportunities."
"We've got students that are maybe attending university elsewhere in Canada that would be able to come home at spring break because it's such a convenient trip, we've got grandparents that are going to be able to go and visit their grandkids," she said.
WestJet had previously announced Encore would fly into Fort St. John and Nanaimo. Brandon was the third community named as a new destination for the Encore service.

I log onto the Mid-South Conference website almost everyday to check up on updated conference standings and awards in every sport, not just my own (cross country and track). I have seen my fair share of Georgetown College football games, and I am glad to say I have not seen them lose at home from the comfort of the press box out at Toyota Stadium. In fact, the Tigers have won every game they've played this season with a record of 9-0. They now sit in the number 1 spot in the Top-25 poll released every Monday, after the former number 1, Marian lost to number 5 St. Xavier (Illinois). So it befuddles me as to why out of 30 different MSC Players of the Week, Georgetown has only four Georgetown players have been given that honor.
Many Georgetown players put up comparable stats to those who have won the award for Offense, Defense or Special Teams. So after pondering for a few minutes I come to two conclusions: A) Georgetown doesn't have any more than four players of the week and B) why that is a great blessing (possibly in disguise) for the Tigers.
As I mentioned earlier the Tigers stand at 9-0 on the season. This came after a 77-0 win over Union College (a team that's really not that bad). In order to this it takes an entire team effort, from the coaching staff, the players and the training staff on the sidelines. In other words, there have only been four players given player of the week, because they don't worry about individual stats. They are there first and foremost to win and are willing to sacrifice numbers to get it. You can see this in the running game for the Tiger's. Not only do they have depth at the fullback position, but the third stringer is the teams leading rusher. That is something that you don't see at any level of football.
The Tiger's have one more game left in the regular season at UVA-Wise, one that they should win with relative ease. From there they should enter the playoffs as the Number 1 Team in the nation. And that is just it. While players have put up numbers that could compete for Player of the Week, there is no individualism on this team. Those awards mean nothing to the individual player, if they don't win. Opposing teams can't just watch one player in the game film when they come to play Georgetown; they have to watch the entire field.
Georgetown College has it's best chance in ten years to win a national title, and don't expect any of the Tigers to pick up another MSC Player of the Week Award this season. They don't need them, and they've shown that all season long on the Appian Way.

Search efforts for teacher reduced
New Orleans — A Texas search-and-rescue team has suspended its search efforts for missing schoolteacher Terrilyn Monette after failing to find any leads.
Texas Equusearch did not find Monette's vehicle in Bayou St. John or the lagoons in City Park during several days of searching and has decided to return home, according to Officer Garry Flot, a New Orleans police spokesman.
Monette has been missing since March 2, and her disappearance has sparked national media interest and a variety of search efforts.
Flot reported that the NOPD will continue to search for Monette but reported no new leads in the case.
Police reported earlier this week that Monette was last seen driving toward City Park on Marconi Boulevard.
Police release video of homicide suspect
New Orleans — New Orleans police released a surveillance video that shows a homicide suspect chasing a man down a street in Hollygrove before gunning him down from behind on Sunday night.
Police allowed media outlets to view the footage of the fatal shooting of Ryan Williams, 27, with the hope of generating clues on the man they believe was responsible for his death. That man can be seen walking calmly down Belfast Street before later chasing Williams down and firing several shots at the victim as he ran through the street. The video shows the suspect wearing what appears to be a white shirt and pants, along with a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt. It was unclear from the video what preceded the shooting.
Gun links N.O. man, 20, to homicide
New Orleans — Police booked a New Orleans man with second-degree murder after authorities said they connected him to a homicide earlier this month through a gun dropped at the March 9 shooting of 19-year-old Bertrand Dezara at an apartment complex at 5131 Bundy Road.
Dezara was found dead in a courtyard at the complex after officers were called to investigate a report of shots fired, according to Magistrate Court records.
According to a witness, Glynn Hawkins, 20, and an accomplice were seen entering an apartment where Dezara was located. A short time later, they were seen leaving the unit with Dezara, although a witness said the victim appeared reluctant to leave. A few minutes later, gunshots were heard, and Dezara was found in the courtyard.
The records say police were able to connect Hawkins to the incident after another shooting near the intersection of Washington and South Claiborne avenues.
Police said Hawkins engaged in a gunbattle there and witnesses saw him drop a weapon. When police recovered that gun, they said it matched shell casings found at Dezara's homicide.
Men arrested in leaving child in car
Harvey — The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrested two men Tuesday who authorities said left a young child in a car alone. Both denied responsibility for the boy.
Robert Drummer, 45, and Lance Everson, 34, were both booked with child desertion after a deputy found the young boy strapped into a car seat soaked in urine, according to an arrest report. A witness reported that the boy had been alone in the vehicle with all of the windows rolled down for an hour.
The report states that the deputy was called to the location after a witness saw the child in the parking lot at Pull-a-Part in the 4000 block of Peters Road. The deputy had the owner of the car paged over a public address system, and Everson returned to the vehicle. However, he claimed the child was Drummer's and that he didn't know the boy's last name. The deputy searched for Drummer, who was trying to take off his shirt to avoid detection, and he also denied knowing the child, the report stated.
The boy was turned over to state officials.
Man, 45, booked in molestation of girl
New Orleans — A Sewerage and Water Board employee accused of molesting a young girl for six years was arrested Monday.
Brad Pfeiffer, 45, was booked with molestation of a juvenile and sexual battery after the now 13-year-old told her mother that Pfeiffer had been inappropriately touching her for years. According to court records, the girl said Pfeiffer began the abuse when she was 7, and it also included trying to get her to view pornography. The incidents would occur whenever the two were alone, and Pfeiffer would give the girl gifts to keep her quiet, the records said.
Pfeiffer works as a dispatcher for the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board.
Man, 20, shot while walking down street
New Orleans — Police are searching for clues in the shooting of a 20-year-old man in eastern New Orleans on Tuesday.
The incident was reported at 10:14 a.m. near the intersection of Lake Forest Boulevard and Glouster Road. Police said the victim reported he was walking down the street when an unknown man began shooting at him. The victim was shot once in the stomach and taken to a local hospital.
Deputies arrest 6 in fight at high school
Harvey — A large fight at a West Bank high school required several Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies to come to the campus and ended with several students arrested.
The fight was reported at Helen Cox High School in the 2200 block of Lapalco Boulevard. According to an arrest report, at least 10 students were involved in the incident, and the officer on duty at the site had to call in backup to break up the brawl.
Deputies arrested Troy Williams, 17; Mandrake Ozan III, 17; Tyran Green, 17; and Devin Lacrosse, 17, in allegedly participating in the brawl. They also arrested Junious Robinson, 17; and Rene Parks, 18, in failing to disperse quickly enough. The fight was reported during lunch Tuesday in a courtyard at the school.

Goal picks out the stars from Italy's latest round of top-flight action as Roma continue their stunning early-season form
In front of him are three players of great stature. Mehdi Benatia continued his fantastic form with a goal and a clean sheet in Roma's 5-0 win over Bologna, while Gonzalo Rodriguez netted the equaliser and dealt well with Parma's threat in Fiorentina's 2-2 draw. Philippe Mexes was one of AC Milan's star men as they held off Sampdoria to triumph 1-0.
Alessandro Florenzi's contribution to Roma's big win sees him recognised, while Jaroslav Plasil gets the nod after helping Catania to a first win of the season against Chievo with the opening goal. Paul Pogba was the man for Juventus once more, netting the only goal in the derby win over Torino, while Juan Vargas was back with a bang for Fiorentina, scoring what had looked likely to be the winner.
Goran Pandev scored both Napoli goals in the win over Genoa, while Gervinho's brace helped Roma to embarrass Bologna. Elsewhere, there were two more for German Denis in Atalanta's 2-0 victory against Udinese.

sounds pretty hi tech dude would be interested to see if you can get it to work. keep us posted on your progress andOriginally Posted by Cyberpunk
Hi all,
I came across this interesting forum and I thought i'd like to get some opinions, comments, and some help from all RC fans around.
I'm currently taking up a project called RC Vehicle AR game and thought i'd like to share with everyone else here. Basically i have to build an RC vehicle that will be able to send back live video feed to a phone via WiFi. And all the controlling will be done by using Android OS phones with gyrometer/accelerometer.
Which means using the Android OS phone, i will be able to maneuver my vehicle using the in-build gyrometer/accelerometer and at the same time i will be able to have the FPV video feed to run the AR game. This project is similar to the Parrot Ar.Drone. Instead, it's ground vehicle.
So I'm kinda stuck here on how to start the project. I'm actually in charge of the video feed part. I've looked thru all the FPV videos and all the FPV setup videos. All the FPV feed are streamed to a display using wireless TRx. What i want to to is to communicate with the vehicle using WiFi. Any suggestions?
Can the FPV cameras be used for the WiFi comm?
sounds pretty hi tech dude would be interested to see if you can get it to work. keep us posted on your progress andOriginally Posted by Cyberpunk
Did you get it working
Yes there are program that will let you control your car via your Android phone. The camera feed is usually output from the cameras are via USB plug so you just need to find a wifi transmitter for the phone and car.
There is an available bluetooth to serial board that lets you link bluetooth devices like your phone to a device and then turn the data into serial data on the car. Someone controls a robot with this setup.

Not sure if they have private rooms that did not face the street; however, if they did, this would have been a great opportunity for the hotel to ask us if we would like that option - considering our age and length of stay. The private rooms in the front receive a lot of noise from the near by clubs and cars passing by making sleep challenging.

Enabling Highest Resolutions
I recently got a refurbished HP A7217A CRT monitor, which has both BNC and VGA connections. My ATI Radeon 9600 card has both DVI and CRT connections. I prefer connecting to the display's BNC connectors, because the picture quality seems better, but the BNC connectors aren't plug-and-play: If I try to set a resolution beyond 1,600-by-1,200, I get a virtual desktop that forces me to scroll around to see the whole screen. This display is capable of handling 1,920-by-1,200. Will turning off "Hide modes not supported by Windows" in the display control panel damage my display if I use higher resolutions?
Michael Kutka
The A7217A is HP's version of the Sony GDM-FW900, and it was a terrific monitor when it was released. You won't damage your display by enabling resolutions it can support. If your display is rated for higher resolutions at higher refresh rates, but you can't see it in the Windows control panel, you should be fine if you disable the Hide modes checkbox. Just be sure you don't accidentally pick an unsupported resolution/refresh rate combo.
The reason your control panel doesn't show all possible resolutions is that the EDID (extended display information data) can't be read using a BNC connection. Though you may perceive a loss of sharpness when connecting to the VGA port, the convenience may be worth the trade-off. It's also possible that the VGA cable you were using isn't the best, and getting a good-quality, shielded cable may make all the difference. But it's true that the BNC connectors will give you a somewhat sharper image, all else being equal.
You may also be able to see all the supported resolutions in your display control panel by using the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI and manually specifying the Sony GDM-FW900 as the display.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/7/2013 (1489 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Transcona-area bowler shot some pins in Reno, but not just to watch them fall.
Eleanore Demke finished second in the women's 65-69 division at the 2013 United States Bowling Congress Senior Championships at the National Bowling Stadium from July 1 to 3.
Demke, who bowls out of Chateau Lanes on Nairn Avenue, shot a three-round score of 1587, which was boosted to a total pins plus handicap score of 2091. Winner Janice Eisenhut of Washington state scored a 2133 with the handicap applied after recording a total pins score of 1953.
Demke's score was helped by the fact she was shooting well above her average. She entered with a 157, but shot 166 in the first round and 181 in the second and medal rounds for a tournament average of 176.
She acknowledged having some nerves getting set to roll in the first round at the 80-lane centre against other provincial and state champions.
"Halfway through the second series, the second day, everything fell into place," Demke said. "It didn't bother me then. I was just doing what I had to do."
Demke made her name as a five-pin bowler, attending over 10 national championships in various categorizations after beginning to play in 1975. But after struggling when returning from a hip replacement, she found the 10-pin approach worked for her, and she's been getting better ever since.
Demke said coach Richard Nose was a big help, guiding her through her first five months of 10-pin bowling.
"I decided I was going to get my own ball, and learn how to hook the ball, and that's where Richard came in," she said.
Given her strong bowling background, current coach Dan Tereck was a little surprised to see Demke take some time to adjust, but admitted playing in a centre with stadium seating would give most bowlers some pause.
"We all figured she's going to be used to the pressure and the pomp," said Tereck, an East. St. Paul resident who coached Demke for the 10 weeks leading up to the tournament. "It's a huge complex, and none of us in Winnipeg have ever seen anything like that before."
Tereck knows all about the pressure, as he competed in the 60-64 open division, finishing 31st.
He said Demke was "very coachable" being relatively new to the sport. He added 10-pin is more technical than five-pin, as 10-pin lanes are oiled, and she picked up on the differences very quickly.
"You have to figure out where that conditioner is, so then you can play the most advantageous part," he said. "She retained it and could do it in a tournament on her own."
The top six bowlers in the opening two rounds qualify for the medal rounds. Of the 12 Winnipeggers at the tournament, the only other local to make the medal round was Rick Aldous, who shot 2108 to finish fourth in the 70-74 open division.

Playrock is a location-based gaming network, where people can create their own gaming spaces everywhere they go and inside these spaces, play together with people around them. Playrock is also a platform for developers to make their games local. Poeple love playing with other people they know in a real-life setting: in college dorms, local bars, gaming arcades, games stores, etc. And adding your game in Playrock spaces will allow gamers to play in real-life setting. The difference between existing social platforms and Playrock is in the level of engagement of the users which directly translates into monetization. Local games are more dynamic, addictive and viral. Here is an interesting article about the new wave of local games http://www.whatgamesare.com/2011/09/the-next-wave-local-games.html You can find playrock in Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blenture.playrock We are looking to collaborate with more developers.

TAMPA, Fla. - Authorities say the man who shot two pit bulls in Tampa has not been charged in the shooting.
A sheriff's office report says a woman was confronted by three dogs Saturday morning as she was jogging when a man came out of his house with a handgun. The report says the man confronted the pit bulls, which took off running.
The woman told police she heard shots fired and saw the dogs run from between two houses. Two of the dogs were injured and taken to an animal hospital, where one of them had to be put down.
No one was injured in the shooting and no arrests have been made. The investigation continues. A sheriff's office statement says deputies will be consulting with the State Attorney's Office.

After my half marathon, things got incredibly busy and I ran only 3.5 miles this week...TOTAL. I was supposed to run 18 miles again tomorrow, and 20 the following Sunday. Because of only doing 3.5, should I run more double digit runs this week and the 18 on the Sunday and do the 20 the following?
Don't want to injure myself less than 1 month before the Marathon, and I'm kind of paranoid about this.

Some RED writing BASTARD decided to write hateful words across My Ace signatures on Horning's Hideout "Highlands" basket #10 of which I've aced 4 times.
This is my home course other than my private course. I play here a lot. I pick up peoples trash such as beer bottles/cans/bottle caps/ sig butts and other disgusting things etc... I do a lot of course maintenance as well on all 3 courses.
I'm sure i have over 280 rounds recorded just on the Highlands course. which is the course I'm speaking about. It was brought to my attention the day before the Discraft Ace Race..where Laura,Kevin R. & TD saw that some one wrote these hateful words... and i know it was recent... It had to of happened between the Chick Flick and Ace Race time period.
I'll list the 3 different pics that I took...
#1 my name was written all over the solar light in RED paint pen.
#2 the words " stop lying matt " were written across 3 of my aces.
#3 the words " go try stub stewart **** written across my 4th ace.
instead of loosing my cool... i'll just say this...
"ok you piece of ****!!! i challenge you to a round at stub stewart!!! and when im done kicking your sorry ****ing crap ass their i'll wipe the ****ing tears and ur snotty nose off w/ my rhyno on the highland course u sorry sack of ****!!! man up and face me coward!!!"

Readers at odds on Israel, Hamas, Gaza
I am in sympathy with the view expressed in "Israeli attacks on Gaza violating law" (Letters, July 19). However, the author chooses to ignore the fact that Hamas intentionally places weapons in these locations for this to happen. When Israel warned locals to move before an attack, Hamas told them to stay. Why do you think they did that?
As peace-loving as I am, having spent my career in medicine trying to preserve life, if rockets were attacking my country, as in Israel, I would expect my president to respond with whatever it takes to stop these attacks. - Louis G. Harris, Carlsbad
Regarding the letter, "Israeli attacks on Gaza violating law": It appears Steve Breen has a far better grasp of the situation in Israel and Gaza … a territory Israel "gave up for peace."
Breen's depiction of Hamas as an acronym for "Hides Among Mosques And Schools" (editorial cartoon, July 16) describes the dilemma in which the Israeli Defense Forces find themselves. Rockets fired by Hamas rain down on Israel constantly, often targeting schools and other sites where Israeli children are to be found. It has been established by independent observers that many of these rocket launching sites are deliberately located among Gaza's civilian population.
Oliver Cromwell opined, "Necessity hath no laws." If my children are starving, I will steal to feed them. If someone attempts to kill my children, I will kill them to protect my children. I am certain that those who share the letter writer's view were appalled by the Nazi mass murder of six million Jewish men, women and children, but when Jews attempt to defend themselves, their reaction is … "How dare they!" - Allen Jay, San Diego
Charles Krauthammer's column ("Moral clarity in Gaza," July 20) suggests there is "a moment of moral clarity" to be found in the continuing Israeli/Palestinian war that infests the once Holy Land of Judaism, Christendom and Islam. Ever since 1947-8, there have been French/English dreams of two sovereign states living side by side in peace. One would be a Jewish state and the other, an Arab state. The United Nations has gone on record many times reiterating this stated goal and suggesting boundaries.
Israel got her statehood. The Palestinians are still waiting, while they watch Israel prosper and flourish under the watchful and generous nurture of Uncle Sam. Israel gets the most sophisticated weapons that American money can buy; Palestine gets lectured by our politicians for homemade rockets that only inconvenience Israeli life. We do not see Krauthammer's moral clarity. Perhaps he missed seeing the recent body counts. - Ronn and Dotti Garton, San Diego
Antibiotic bill needed
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "antibiotic resistance is one of the world's most pressing public health threats" and that "antibiotic overuse increases the development of drug–resistant germs." According to pewhealth.org, 80 percent of all antibiotics in the U.S. are used for livestock.
A bill, AB 1437, has been introduced in the Legislature to stop the overuse of antibiotics in farming, the Medically Important Antimicrobials Bill.
This is an urgent issue because the longer the status quo is allowed to continue, the harder the problem will be to solve.
This is also a politically critical time. If AB 1437 is not voted on this session, it will have to be reintroduced. San Diegans should hope that AB 1437 passes in this legislative session. - Mike Tietsort, San Diego
World has many crosses to bear
It is said that the cross on Mount Soledad is a Christian symbol, and certainly the followers of Jesus adopted it after his ignominious death.
However, both Jews and Christians died by crucifixion at the hands of the Romans before and after Jesus died on the cross.
Nowadays, many good people die or are maimed by bombs and bullets. The world has countless crosses to bear, and it seems that as a symbol for all that is wrong on this planet, it does a good job of expressing the pain and anguish that I feel while reading my morning newspaper.
However, if Jesus actually did rise on the third day and appear to his followers after his crucifixion, then the crosses of this world can be faced with courage strengthened by the knowledge that triumph of good over the evil is assured, that the ultimate victory of truth over lies and expediency is assured.
That is what the cross means to me. - Phil Calabrese, San Diego

SG Systems LLC, Dallas, will be the new traceability software provider for Avondale, Pa.-based To-Jo Fresh Mushrooms Inc. The objective of SGâs traceability and labeling system will be to make To-Jo fully compliant and up to speed with the forthcoming Produce Traceability Initiative.
The SG system contains touch screen terminals and label printers which label incoming product with information relating to the lot number, product, sales order, country of origin and global trade item number, according to a release from To-Jo Mushrooms. That allows full product traceback to the incoming lot number.
âSG Systems is the right company to invest in to meet our case labeling requirements to address the PTI,â Mike Wood, vice president of operations at To-Jo, said in the release.
Wood made his comments after making a visit to FreshPoint in Dallas, where the system was in operation.
âThey have a consultative approach to problem solving, which is important to us when choosing a vendor to provide us with the tightest possible traceability in line with PTI,â Wood said. âTheir system is simple to use. FreshPoint is very happy with the product.â
The installation of SG Systems is the first phase for To-Jo in providing case level traceability. Phase two involves product line portion control to monitor operator productivity and increase weight consistency in packing product, according to the release.
âTo-Jo is committed to staying on the forefront of produce traceability, and this system will allow us to do so,â Wood said in the release.

Grey's Anatomy star Kim Raver and her husband Manuel Boyer posed with their two sons – Luke, 9, and Leo, 4 – at the Los Angeles premiere of IRIS, A Journey Into The World of Cinema by Cirque du Soleil on Sunday (September 25).
Kim's costar, Patrick 'McDreamy' Dempsey, was also in attendance with his wife Jillian Fink and their three children: daughter Talula Fyfe, 9, and 4-year-old twin sons, Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick.
What can we expect from Kim's character, Teddy, in Season 8 of Grey's?
"She's finally, for the first time, out of the relationships that she thought were something, but turned out to not be anything and she's really glad to be out of the triangle with Owen and Christina," Kim tells TV Guide. "Henry (Scott Foley) and her are really in love. So, it's a good time for her. Teddy is trying to impart humility to her because Cristina sees that she's a genius, but she's lacking the really big, and basic parts of being a great doctor."View Slideshow »»

Ugly sweater (ahem, not vest mind you) season is in full effect, and with it comes the last (tear) quasi-traditional week of sport's best regular season. While many of the games in particular we look at are as prefabricated and contrived as the material used to sew that only-wear-once conversation piece you'll be rocking as Egg Nog becomes seasonal, who the hell cares? Extra college football including 5 games involving multiple ranked teams playing each other? Please and thank you.
Two months back, reader Wil recommended we reawaken the tradition from Weekend Update's predecessor that was listing the games we featured's spreads as well as throwing up some random guestimates at how those puppies would actually play themselves out. Incomprehensibly to all, the results have been frighteningly not awful. Following last week's results, your honorary 11W gambling enabler is now 52-17-1 (~75%) for an abbreviated 2009 slate. After the first 8-0 week against the spread of the entire season, all that's left to wrap up this season is a perfectly symmetrical 0-8. Feast your eyes on championship weekend:
National Games
Thursday - #14 Oregon State at #7 Oregon (-10.5) - 9:00 p.m. (ESPN)
The game imploring Buckeyes everywhere to call in sick Friday morning takes Oregon and Oregon State's traditional end of season "Civil War", and turns it into the opposite side of the Ohio State-Iowa Rose Bowl play-in bracket. In turning Oregon from laugh riot to laudable, Chip Kelly's turned the Ducks into quite the late season buzz team, leaving many tOSU faithful keeping their fingers crossed for a Ducks v. Bucks New Year's Day treat. The Beavers are no slouches in their own right, though certainly considerably more under the radar so to speak. Despite an impressive showing against the BCS' most consistent (and arguably best) conference this season, the Beavers are still virtual unknowns in many Buckeye fans' minds. The brothers Rodgers and venerable head coach Mike Riley lead a team into Eugene that despite being unranked, have finished each of the last 4 regular seasons in both Top 25s. While Oregon State will reward those bold enough to stake their children's college funds on their covering, expect the Ducks to emerge Rose Bowl parade bown, 34-29.
Friday - MAC Championship Game: Ohio vs. Central Michigan (-10.5) - 8:00 p.m. (ESPN2)
Our loyal readership of OU students and alum can finally feel the love; Frank Solich's Bobcats' trip to Ford Field garners our modest viewing recommendation and gets them their first play on this site since the 2008 too close for comfort contest. Standing between them and, well, a return trip to the very same venue for the Motor City Bowl as MAC Champions are Butch jones' 10-2 Chips. LeFevour is no stranger to these parts, as the senior gun slinger's accrued 2788 yards, 25 TDs to just 5 picks and a 71% completion percentage to boot to go along with 650 yards and 14 more TDs on the ground in the closing sonnet of a brilliant MAC career. The future pro-bound Tebow of the state that shall not be named should find a worthy adversary in Ohio's big play defense. The 'Cats forced 35 turnovers this season and enter the MAC Championship Game with a +14 turnover ratio. Despite a tremendous season from CMU, the Bobcats find a way to bring a title back to Athens, taking the MAC 35-31.
#5 Cincinnati at #13 Pittsburgh (-1.5) - 12:00 p.m. (ABC)
Depending upon who you ask, this is either UC head man Brian Kelly's last, or far from last game as the head coca of the Bearcats. A rather distraction heavy week for Cincinnati lead them to Pittsburgh, where the 2-loss Fightin' Wandstaches wait eagerly. Much like the Thursday night Pac 10 contest, this one is a defacto conference championship and will determine the league's BCS representative. Vegas too clearly has inside information the most of us aren't privy to (or just really love them some well groomed mustaches) as Pitt inexplicably enters this one as one and a half point favorites. While this one has all the makings of the classic makings of an underwhelming Wandstet let down game, Bill Stull's had far too great of a season for the Panthers to let his season end with the kind of performance he put up in Morgantown last weekend. As per usual, Vegas is onto something: Pitt (you read that right) wins this bad boy 35-25.
SEC Championship Game: #1 Florida vs. #2 Alabama (+5) - 4:00 p.m. (CBS)
It takes a real man of inspiration to be able to make fun of two teams in a single statement, but Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin did just that earlier in the week simply stating "Florida has better players, but Alabama has better coaches." Duly noted, sir. While an unwatchable 6-3 win by either team would arguably be the Pareto optimal outcome for this one, any result where by which the Tebow child is uninspired will be a win for selfish Buckeye fans everywhere hoping the keep Archie's stature as two time Heisman trophy hoister as an individual historic occurrence. I went the entirety of the season thinking this game was Alabama's to lose, though given the way the Gators looked the last 2 weekends, I'll be awfully hard pressed to concede they drop this one. That being said I'm going against all instinct and assuming the last 3 Gator opponents were conveniently their 3 worst defensively, and giving Bama this one, 16-10. Steve Addazio, eat your heart out.
ACC Championship Game: #10 Georgia Tech vs. #25 Clemson (EVEN) - 8:00 p.m. (ESPN)
If the above doesn't clear up exactly what Coach Paul Johnson brings to the table, tune in for his awesome off with Clemson young gun Dabo Swinney. Georgia Tech won a zany come from behind affair earlier in the season, and before being completely out physicaled for the entirety of an evening by Georgia last weekend, were the hands down favorites in this one. After Clemson also did us no favors laying an egg to the Gamecocks (even after a C.J. Spiller opening kickoff return for a touchdown), we're looking at just the second pick 'em of the games we've profiled all season (and the second in as many weeks). In situations of uncertainty and relative parity, there's no other choice except to default to the oracle that is Phil Steele. His outcome : 1010110101010101011011000001010101010101. Or in our language: Clemson 31 - GT 24.
Big XII Championship Game: #3 Texas vs. #23 Nebraska (+13) - 8:00 p.m. (ABC)
The most lopsided on paper prompts us to remind you of Big XII Championship Games past: unranked Texas shocked then #3 ranked 2-time defending champion Nebraska 37-27 in the inaugural Big XII Championship Game in 2003. 1998 saw 10th ranked Texas A&M keep upstart #2 Kansas State from their first ever title game berth, winning 36-33 in 2 OT in a truly all-time classic. 2001 brought more high drama as championship bound with a win #3 Texas couldn't overcome 4 Chris Simms turnovers losing to #9 Colorado 39-37, also in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And who can forget 2003's completely illogical 35-7 dismantling of season long #1 Oklahoma by #15 K-State. So factoring in all the dumb small sample size superstitions again we have no AP #3 ranked teams having ever won a Big 12 Championship Game, the Longhorns 0-1 in DFW Big XII title games, and the Horns just 1-3 in Big XII title games all-time. Easy Nebraska victory? If only Zac Lee and the Huskers weren't rolling into town with the 92nd ranked offense in the FBS. Colt McCoy's final in-state game as Texas' quarterback ends the way so many of his NCAA leading 44 wins do, with another Texas W. Horns take it 24-13.
Big Ten Games:
Fresno State at Illinois (EVEN) - 12:30 p.m. (Big Ten Network)
The Big Ten's still playing games? I'm as shocked as you are, and it can't bode well for Zooksters to be facing A PICK 'EM game against 3rd place in the WAC Fresno State. Pat Hill's 7-4 Bulldogs roll into Champagne with Illinois desperately seeking to end the season 4-8. The Bulldogs did go into Madison and take Wisconsin to OT earlier in the year, plus played Cincinnati tough falling just 28-20 in the nasty 'Nati. In fact, it's difficult not to like the Bulldogs given their only other losses were to Boise State and WAC 2nd place Nevada. Despite every fiber in my being wanting the Big Ten to represent in this one, it's hard not to take the (gulp) better team. Fresno ends the Illini's season rocket launcher style: 34-13.
Wisconsin at Hawaii (+11.5) - 11:30 p.m. (ESPN2)
The Badgers get a jump start on bowling, playing a 13th game (and all intents and purposes pre-bowl) against Greg McMacklin's Warriors. In a potentially must win to save his job game for McMacklin, the Rainbows' still potent offensive attack will have to jump out to an early advantage if they want to hang with the superior athleticism the Badgers bring to the table. With superstud sophomore running back John Clay already announcing he'll be back next season, the Badgers go into this one with few questions other than what will the final margin of victory be. Hawaii goes down (though no word whether or not Wisconsin does any kind of pre-game dance) as the Badgers crush all in sight, 45-21.

Flying Handbook Menu > Approaches and Landings > Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is a condition that can exist
when an airplane is landed on a runway surface contaminated
with standing water, slush, and/or wet snow. Hydroplaning can
have serious adverse effects on ground controllability and braking
efficiency. The three basic types of hydroplaning are dynamic
hydroplaning, reverted rubber hydroplaning, and viscous hydroplaning.
Any one of the three can render an airplane partially or totally
uncontrollable anytime during the landing roll.

The Origin of Robert Pattinson's Self-Declared Alter Ego
Actor/Musician, Robert Pattinson, who will be playing the studly vampire in the highly anticipated flick Twilight, is anything but cocky.
Despite the facts that he's being labeled as the next Jude Law and can make girls salivate at the wink of an eye or a purse of the lips, R-Pattz has expressed a distaste for the abbreviated nickname that so many of his female fans quiver at the mere sound of.
Not that he's any more fond of the moniker his mama gave him: "I hate my name," he said during an interview with MTV last spring. "I hate any reference to my name."
Robert was encouraged to come up with a nickname that he preferred for himself. And so came the birth of "Spunk Ransom."
Watch the interview and see how it all went down.
