Volkswagen GTI Engine Problems
gregory42 Posts: 5Hello Frank,
I can certainly identify with what your saying. Point well taken that VW uses cheap parts......which is why they can offer attractive lease rates that seem almost too good to be true. They do a great job of making the car look good, but I would definitley say that having an extended warranty is a safe investment with these cars. In my case, both of my VW's (a 2002 Jetta GLS & 2003 GTI) were purchased from owners that abused these cars and thus needed work when I bought them. However, since having the work done I have had no other problems with either car (I will keep my fingers crossed!). I have been in the automotive repair business over 20 years and what I have been seeing is not good for the consumer. Government squeezing car manufacturers to build cleaner burning & more fuel efficient cars/trucks, which means end costs to consumers will rise accordingly. The reactionary response from the manufacturers will inevitably be cheaper materials being used and car manufacturers denying more and more legitimate warranty claims by consumers. I litigated a 2100.00 repair bill to replace the motor in my 2003 GTI and I am waiting for the decision in the mail to see if judgment was for or against me. In my opinion what I think we as consumers can expect is for warranty claims to be denied more frequently as car manufacturers try to minimize their losses. Large, heavily funded car manufacturers squaring off with consumers in court......you can do the math.0
twane Posts: 1It means "Acceleration Slip Regulation." It can briefly apply the brakes to a spinning wheel under acceleration to divert traction to the wheel with traction via the differential. (This action is referred to by VW as "EDL," or Electronic Differential Lock.") The other function of ASR is to cut the throttle if the brakes application function isn't effective or when driving at higher speeds.0
ya_shurik2 Posts: 1I have a 2000 Vw golf gti 2.8L and recentely my oil pressure light turned on and i havent driven it eversense. im guessing i have a bad oil pressure sensor or bad oil pump. if anyone can suggest some ways to diagnose that please help. oil level is fine and the engine still ran fine with out any knockings or unusual sounds. could the type of oil effect it?0
siglertyler Posts: 1What VW/Audi will try to tell you is that the 2.0T will achieve less mileage on regualr gas which makes sense to me. However, it isn't true. I run my GTI on regular with spirited highway/city driving and achieve 24-25 mpg which is the same if I use even the best high-test, such as shell V-power. I will tell you this: They weren;t lying when they said the computer compensates for the lower fuel and restricts power... The loss in power is VERY noticable. You will notice gradually as you pass in 6th gear on the highway and everytime you let the clutch out in first gear, By now means is the car slow, it just doesn't feel as quick and it really isn't. Weigh out the savings verses lack of fun for yourself. I like SAVINGS!0
xiphoide Posts: 1The car acts as if it has a dead battery and does the click click click, but it starts after several attempts. It is not the alternator or battery had those checked. I have taken it to the VW dealership and they found nothing wrong and had no suggestions, but of coarse it did not act up for them. There is no pattern for hot vs cold weather, morning vs. night, consecutive days vs. time of day. Nothing, it is just weird. I need help to see if anyone else with a VW has experienced an issue like this. Anything will help. Thank you for you time.0

jbressington Posts: 1i have a 97 golf gti and have a problem with intermitant missing,
have changed plugs, fuel filter, new distrib cap and rotor, fuel additive added, , but very randomly the car will start to misfire.normally when first driven it is fine but after it has stopped and restarted how ever long after then it starts to misfire.
any ideas of what i should try next0
hewins Posts: 1My 85 VW GTI is sputtering and sputtering. It starts and runs fine till it gets warmed up.
If I shut her off then start her up again she will run like crap till I get through the gears and she blows black smoke like there is no tomorrow. Also does it if I mat her to full throttle.
I have changed plugs, wires, cap, button, distributor, air filter, fuel filter, and had it put back in time, also had the plunger on the cis system adjusted.
I've gone thought 3 sets of plugs in the last week cause they keep getting carbon build up on them.0
upstatedoc Posts: 710:sick: :sick: :sick:
Time to put her out to pasture...
Sounds like she had a good run, almost 25 years.0
ambrocked Posts: 9I'm guessing since this post is so old that you've probably gotten it taken care of, but in case someone else has similar issues I thought I'd reply. My car was doing the same thing (it's a 98 GTI, not turbo) and I put some HEET in the gas tank. That solved it (I actually just put it in because I live in WI and it's what we do in the winter, but there must've been some moisture in the gas line causing the shuddering. It was an unexpected bonus, and super cheap fix!).0
hud92 Posts: 1I have 03 GTI 1.8T, while backing up car stalled would not start, engine turns over will not start. I have replaced all coils, engine crank sensor. No power to teh fuel pump or to the coils. Fuses OK. Not sure where ECM is or the relays to it. Fuel pump will run if power is hooked to it direct, but still no power to coils. VERY frustrated. Time belt done about 4,000 miles ago, it is fine.0
buffy22 Posts: 10I have a '06 GTI which, of course, takes premium gas. Is it ever ok to
add the less expensive gas? I imagine it might hurt the engine?0
It will not hurt anything mechanical; your engine knows how to effectivly "de-tune" itself to accomodate the lower detonation resistance of the lower grade of gasoline. The only things you'll "hurt" are the acceleration and fuel economy of your car and your wallet (due to the lower fuel economy).0
brudygti Posts: 1I have the same problem with mine right now, I have replaced the coils 3 times each and also changed the spark plugs. I was talking with some guys from auto zone and they said that it may be the alternator spiking voltage and blowing the coils, my mechanic is not sure what it is. If you find anything out please keep me posted and i will do the same for you.0
bennettng Posts: 1It sounds like the exact same problem I am having with my 2009 GTI. It sounds irregular when I start the car. My friend thinks its the turbo ignition, but i have no idea.
Did you ever figure out what the problem was??0
There is no such a thing as "turbo ignition" so it is unlikely that's the problem.
Have you taken your car in to have the OBD-II codes read?0

Lester unable to match Dickey, gets little support
TORONTO -- It doesn't matter how well Jon Lester throws the ball if his offense is unable to come up with timely hits.
Looking to help the Red Sox complete a three-game sweep, Lester was strong until a late hiccup in the seventh, and once again received little run support in Sunday's series finale.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- It doesn't matter how well Jon Lester throws the ball if his offense is unable to come up with timely hits.
Looking to help the Red Sox complete a three-game sweep, Lester was strong until a late hiccup in the seventh, and once again received little run support in Sunday's series finale.View Full Game Coverage
Lester lost for the fourth time in six starts, the bats went cold, and the Red Sox dropped the afternoon contest to the Blue Jays, 7-1, in front of a sellout crowd of 45,260 at Rogers Centre.
"Once again [Lester] worked deep into the ballgame and gave us an opportunity to win," manager John Farrell said. "He has been the one guy in our rotation where runs are a premium and are seemingly hard to come by."
A troubling trend has been developing when Lester takes the ball, with Boston's offense routinely going quiet. After scoring just once Sunday, the Red Sox are providing Lester with 1.83 runs of support per start, which is the second-lowest mark among 114 qualified pitchers.
Lester's 2-4 record doesn't reflect how well he has thrown the ball. He has gone at least seven innings in four of his six starts, sports a 3.10 ERA, has the lowest walk rate of his career, and is striking out over a batter per inning.
"You always have to stay positive and always have to look at the positives," Lester said. "Anytime you sit there and beat your head against the wall, it's a negative thing. I can't control wins, I can't control losses, I can only control what I do those five days and the preparation I have in between pitches."
The left-hander wasn't happy with some of the pitches he made -- like a 3-2 offering to Brett Lawrie in the second inning which was taken deep -- but Lester was pleased with the way he threw the ball. Toronto hit some good pitches that were thrown in the right spots, he said, and he's certainly not about to call out his offense despite its lackluster results whenever he gets the ball.
"I don't get to hit and if I did, it would probably be worse," said Lester, who allowed four runs, walked none and punched out seven. "I know these guys are busting their butt and [R.A.] Dickey threw very well today. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other side.
"I felt like we had chances, but I let it get out of hand there in the seventh. I felt like I threw the ball better than the four runs that are up there. But that's baseball."
Lester was strong and went toe-to-toe with Dickey for much of the contest, but entered the seventh down, 2-1. That's when the Blue Jays added insurance.
Boston's ace allowed back-to-back doubles to begin the frame, the second of which, by Lawrie, gave Toronto a 3-1 lead. Moises Sierra added another run on a groundout which scored Lawrie from third. Lester fielded the chopper, but was unable to remove the ball out of his glove cleanly, which is all Lawrie -- who was breaking home on the pitch -- needed to score.
In Lester's opinion, Lawrie was scoring no matter what.
"I had no play, regardless if I field it cleanly," he said. "I couldn't square my shoulders, couldn't do anything."
In the top half of the frame, with Boston still trailing, 2-1, the club squandered its best chance of the game.
Boston put runners at second and third with one out to chase Dickey from the contest after Xander Bogaerts ripped a double down the left-field line. The Blue Jays turned to reliever Steve Delabar but he stranded the pair by getting Jackie Bradley Jr. to pop out and David Ross to fly out on a deep drive to center field.
Bradley went up, 2-0, on Delabar and then swung through an inside fastball before ultimately coming up short.
"I have to get the job done," said Bradley, who went 1-for-3 and drove in Boston's only run with an RBI single in the second. "I'm very tough [on myself]. I feel like I let the team down in that situation right there. I had an opportunity to tie the game up and who knows what can happen from there. I have to get better, I really do."
Toronto, which added three more runs in the eighth off reliever Andrew Miller to make it a 7-1 game, scored seven unanswered after the Red Sox struck first and snapped a season-high four-game skid.
Boston's offense struggled to put anything together off the wildly inconsistent Dickey, who entered Sunday's start with a 5.90 ERA.
Starting with the final out of the second, Dickey retired 13 of 14 batters leading up to the seventh, and the knuckleballer allowed one run on five hits, didn't issue a walk for the first time in six starts and stuck out six to earn his second win.
"Throwing good pitches, and had good action on the knuckleball," Dickey said when asked what the key was for him. "I threw a lot of fastballs today, which was part of the strategy. They're a disciplined club, and so to get strike one was very important."
Although the Red Sox were unable to complete the sweep, which snapped a four-game road winning streak, they scored 16 runs over the three-game set to help them take two of three games.
Boston has an off-day Monday, then begins an eight-game homestand starting with the division-rival Rays on Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
"How we play at Fenway Park is going to be pivotal for us," Farrell said.

Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photo Video act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.

One Chicago Bulls fan with a lot of juice is making no bones about wanting LeBron James on the team.
In between managing two wars, trying to turn the economy around and stopping an ecological crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama told sportscaster Marv Albert that King James would look pretty good in a Bulls' uniform.
"You know, like I said, I don't want to meddle," Obama told Albert in a TNT interview set to air Tuesday night. "I will say this: (Derrick) Rose, Joakim Noah it's a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there."
The man knows his hoops, but you don't have to know much to want the best player in the game on your team. After a disappointing playoff run with the Cleveland Cavaliers, James can become a free agent this summer. And just about every team wants him, including his current one
"I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects and is working hard with teammates who care about him and if that's in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland," Obama said. "If he doesn't feel like he can get it there, then someplace else."
The Knicks are reportedly preparing to make a big offer to James, and new New Jersey Nets owner and Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokorov hinted he might make an overture. Chicago became a rumored destination earlier this month, when reports suggested the team might hire University of Kentucky Coach John Calipari, who has ties to James through their common agent.
Obama compared James' situation to the Bulls not winning until Michael Jordan trusted Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and the rest of his teammates. Once that happened, Chicago won six NBA championships in the 1990s.
"It wasn't until you got that framework around you that you could be a champion," Obama said. "Same thing happened with Kobe (Bryant). You know, I think that, first with Shaq (O'Neal) then later with (Pau) Gasol, you know, he's gotten that sense of a team around him and I think LeBron hasn't quite been able to get that yet. That's what he needs to find."
Should James opt to stay in Cleveland, just up the road from his hometown of Akron, he'll be starting over in a sense. The team just fired coach Mike Brown after five years.

Permission Please – Mark Goren of Transmission Marketing highlights how he was automatically subscribed to Marriott Hotel newsletters without his permission. The comment stream is interesting regarding the needs of business and person perspective. However, I side with Mark on this one. There are better ways to ask for permission. Supplying an email for a "confirmation notification" isn't the same as asking to receive frequent emails about your company, promotions and other marketing stuff.

The Rev. Billy Graham: Repent sins to guard your soul from hell
Dear Dr. Graham: "Hell" is just a myth, an idea that various religions dreamed up to scare people into following their beliefs. I assume you don't agree, but I challenge you to prove that you're right and I'm wrong. W.N.
Dear W.N.: If you went to the airport and were told there was a 10 percent chance your flight was going to crash, would you get on board? Of course not. It would be too great a gamble to risk, and yet that's exactly what you're doing with your soul. What if there is only a 10 percent chance that you're wrong, and that hell actually does exist? After all, you can't prove that hell doesn't exist; you only hope it doesn't.
But hell does exist. I know it because Jesus warned us about it, and Jesus spoke with the full authority of God himself. He called hell a place of "darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30).
My real question for you is, why do you reject hell, and God and Jesus? The reason, I suspect, is because you want to run your own life. But that's a dead-end road. God loves you, and Christ died for you. Don't gamble with your eternal soul, but repent of your sins and give your life to Christ without delay. You'll never regret it — never.
Dear Dr. Graham: I've always felt that if people from different nations could just get to know each other we could bring an end to wars and conflicts. But I'm beginning to have my doubts. Will wars ever cease, according to the Bible? Mrs. F.M.
Dear Mrs. F.M.: We should encourage every effort to bring peace to our world, and the Bible certainly urges us to pray for peace and support those who work for peace. One reason the Bible commands us to pray for our leaders is so "we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:2).
But the Bible also warns us that we will never bring about a complete end to wars and conflicts, not until Jesus Christ returns to establish his kingdom of perfect justice and righteousness. Why is this? The reason is because wars don't come about just because we don't understand each other, or because some people have less than others. These may contribute to conflicts, but they aren't the basic cause.
Wars ultimately come from within ourselves, our own hearts and minds. Pride, greed, envy, jealousy, lust for power can lead to wars and conflicts, and they all come from within the human heart. The Bible says, "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?" (James 4:1).
This is why we need Christ, and why the greatest contribution we can make to peace is to give our lives to him and urge others to turn to him also.
Dear Dr. Graham: I heard recently about a church near us where it was discovered the pastor was getting all his sermons off the Internet. He wasn't even changing them or giving credit to the original preacher, but was using them as if they were his own. Do you think the congregation was right in asking him to leave? This seemed a bit harsh. R.K.
Dear R.K.: I don't know the full situation, and there may or may not have been other ways to handle it. The Bible says that within our churches "everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way" (1 Corinthians 14:40).
What this pastor did, however, was clearly wrong. Plagiarism, or stealing someone else's research or writing, isn't tolerated in secular circles, such as universities or the media. Christians should have even higher standards. The Bible urges us to "become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation" (Philippians 2:15).
Perhaps this pastor excused his actions by telling himself he was too busy, or he wanted to give his congregation the best sermons he possibly could. But such choices still involved deceit, even laziness. The Bible's command is clear: "Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another" (Leviticus 19:11). Many pastors use the Internet for research as they prepare sermons (just as they use books and other resources) — and that's perfectly acceptable, when done with integrity.

The rumors are flying about a possible May 17 release date for the Palm Pre, though, truth be told, they're all flying out of one source: this PhoneNews article, which also claims that June 29th has been set as a fallback release date in case the stores don't have enough phones in-stock to meet the May date.
The reason that this rumor is getting such wide circulation is that Palm has already stated that they're still on track for a first-half of 2009 launch, which means that they have to put the Pre out sometime before the end of June. There's nothing to indicate that the phone is ready this month, which leaves the latter part of May or sometime in June as the most likely windows. Given this reality, anyone could make up a number in that timeframe and it would sound plausible.
In the absence of genuine, second-source corroboration of the May 17 date, others also linking this post at Pre Thinking, which claims to have confirmation from Sprint that the company is currently training employees on the Pre. (I have my own query into Sprint about this training rumor.) I'm not so sure that this is real confirmation of the May 17 date, though, because, again Palm has until the end of June to get the Pre out the door, which means that Sprint should start prepping for its arrival right about now.
The Pre Thinking post also asks the question that has been on my mind, namely, is the software going to be ready in time for a late-May release? The units we saw at CES 2009 last January were very primitive, and were more mock-ups than actual demo units. Reports from CTIA indicate that the software was in a primitive state there, as well. So I'm wondering if this device is really going to be ready by the end of June, much less by the end of May.
One thing is certain: Palm is in a very unenviable position. On the one hand, they desperately need the boost that a successful Pre launch will give them, which means that they have to deliver ASAP; but on the other hand, they cannot afford to blow this launch by rushing something half-baked out the door.

French Elle's 'Spécial Rondes'
Following on from V Magazine's foray into plus-size appreciation, April's issue of French Elle, released today, is a 'spécial rondes' or…erm…round special. Yes, that's right, the plus-size championing charge has made the difficult jump from edgy style mag (who can push these kind of concepts before others, since breaking boundaries is their currency) to mainstream fashion publication. The issue features models Tara Lynn (the cover star, above, who also featured in V mag) and Johanna Dray. It's quite a first, and a very exciting new development for the representation of women in mainstream women's press.
A couple of comments have highlighted both sides of the coin on the issue of plus-size specials. First, from InfamousKai on the V 'Curves Ahead' shoot;
I just realized something: The way I find these girls incredibly sexy is probably comparable to the way people that I've been with have found me sexy. I really thought it was my personality and cute ass smile, but you know what? I can looks as good as these gals, and I HAVE. Thanks to V for showing the world, thanks to Jenna and Jezebel for showing ME just how hot I am.
Can't argue with that, really! But then, secondly, here's a comment from Emiloo on the FrenchElle April Issue;
I'm always excited to see plus size girls in magazines (I am one!) but why can't they just be integrated into regular spreads like, I don't know, *normal* people? BUST Magazine has been doing this for quite some time and I hardly notice now. Why do the fatties have to be separated into their own "plus size" or "shape" issues? It always seems like the editors want us to notice how inclusive they're being by giving plus girls their own issue– but it's not really inclusive at all. This will frustrate me to no end.
It's a valid and important point and, I guess, one that will only sort itself out in time as plus-size becomes less extra-ordinary and more, well, ordinary. Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later!

So in Sunday's column, I responded to the statement Aurora Fox producer Charlie Packard issued in advance of last Friday's opening of "The Graduate." He was clearly anticipating some backlash over the company's decision not to let the audience see actor Tracy Shaffer, as Mrs. Robinson, drop her towel and stand naked before young, impressionable Benjamin. So he took the extraordinary step of issuing an advance statement that, among other things, compared nudity with stage violence, in that both can be upsetting to an audience.
If you haven't seen it, you can read that column right here. And if you want to read Charlie's full and unedited statement that got this whole brouhaha started, you can read that right here.
Continuing the dialogue now is the inimitable John Ashton, director of "The Graduate" and a longtime friend to the Colorado theater community. To know John is to love him, but when it comes to this discussion, John thinks I must be thinking with my … well, you know what.

text: Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will shortly commence a pilot recruitment drive across Europe. It is the first major pilot recruitment initiative in two years with the airline looking for pilots to join both its Airbus and Boeing fleets. The search will be focused on posts for First Officers. The airline operates a range of aircraft including Boeing 777s, B787s, Airbus 330s and A380s, with further deliveries of the latter two types occurring in 2017. Richard Hill, Chief Operations Officer for Etihad Airways, said: "2017 will see further additions to our fleet as we continue our growth. We are seeking to recruit highly motivated, skilled and qualified pilots to come and join our team." "It is exciting to be joining an airline that is growing rapidly and whilst we will recruit experienced pilots, we also put great focus on continued training and excellence in operational standards. This significant growth also creates opportunities for our existing pilots." The airline has a current fleet of 123 aircraft, and between 2016 and 2025, the fleet is expected to rise to a total of 179 aircraft, presenting further opportunities for potential new joiners. Ten aircraft have joined the fleet during 2016 and Etihad Airways' fleet remains one of the youngest in the world. Recruiters for Etihad Airways will be in the following countries, starting in Romania on 13 November. They will move onto Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, Greece, Poland, Belgium and Portugal after the opening event.

Berets - romantic chic
No other accessory can be linked to the fashionable French as obviously as stylish berets from Stetson USA. The chic berets from Stetson are said to originally come from the Basque Country, but actually, they are more likely originated from the neighbouring region of Béarn. It is said that the name was influenced by Napoleon III, who referred to the hat as 'béret basque' – which translates to Basque hat – after seeing them on his many trips to the Basque Country.
Cashmere and cotton make for picturesque styles of this high-quality and modern headwear. The casual oversized look and the elastic quality help berets enhance every wardrobe. Thanks to a stretchy ribbon, you can feel the benefits of a snug fit. Being made for both genders, they are popular amongst women and stylish gentlemen and make for contemporary headwear. Red and black have been the most popular colours for berets since the beginning and are the best-selling versions of the hat. Even if the beret from the house of Stetson is not just made for French people, its wearer will always have an air of the French way of life about them.

Gary S Greig's Pseudo-Scholarly Apologetic For The Unbiblical Antics Of Todd Bentley
A Review Of Gary S Greig's Pseudo-Scholarly Apologetic For The Unbiblical Antics Of Todd Bentley And The Lakeland, Florida Sequel To The Failed Revivals Of Kansas City, Toronto, And Pensacola
by J. Jacob Prasch
Moriel Ministries
Faculty of Hebrew, Judaism and Judeo Christian Hermeneutics
Midland Bible College and Divinity School, University of Wales, UK
Jacob Prasch is the author of several books and holds a non-cessationist pneumatology. He believes in the ongoing operation of charismatic gifts as defined and practiced biblically, but firmly rejects the alleged "revivals" of Lakeland, Toronto, Brownsville, and Pensacola as carnal and demonically-influenced counterfeits of biblical charismata.
Scholarship and Reality
Although my initial academic background was in science, I entered the world of theology at Cambridge University and London Bible College/London School of Theology. This was after serving a number of years as a lay missionary in Israel prior to ordination. In the theological jungle of undergraduate and postgraduate theological and divinity studies and research I learned much about what is indeed a virtual game and how the game is played.

October 30, 2002
Dr. Arthur Geoffrion, James A. Collins Professor of Management at UCLA Anderson is this year's recipient of the Harold Larnder Prize. The award, given annually by the Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS), recognizes an individual who has achieved international distinction in operational research. Dr. Geoffrion's work in operational research has helped improve decision-making and operations in business and government through the development and application of analytical methods.
The Harold Larnder Prize is financed through the Harold Larnder Memorial Trust of CORS. The award's namesake is best known for co-developing the first operational radar system and founding and leading the first "operational research" group. Each prizewinner delivers the Harold Larnder Memorial Lecture on a topic of general interest to operational research at the annual CORS conference. Fellow UCLA Anderson professor and former dean, Dr. William Pierskalla, was the recipient of the Larnder Prize in 1993.
At this year's 44th annual CORS conference, Dr. Geoffrion delivered a lecture titled "What Do You Say When They Ask You WHY?" He spoke to the great changes brought about for analytical methods by the advent of cheap computing power. "Computational methods increasingly produce results that outrun analysts' understanding of their true significance because analysts tend to rely more on computing and less on thinking than they typically did before the computer revolution. This may be more 'cost-effective' in a myopic sense, but it may also be less productive in the longer term," said Dr. Geoffrion during his talk.
Dr. Geoffrion believes that "in many situations, decision makers and policy makers need to understand the 'why' behind the 'what' of computational solutions in order to convince themselves and others of the need for action or to deepen their own understanding of the system under study." He advocates the use of conceptually simple models, arguments, and spreadsheets as adjuncts to complex computational models to help explain important aggregate properties of detailed computational solutions. Further detail about his work can be found at:
Dr. Geoffrion is the area chair for Decisions, Operations and Technology Management at UCLA Anderson. The author of more than 60 published works, he is currently studying analytical methods for electronic commerce. His research has been supported by about 45 grants and contracts from such prestigious organizations as the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. His work in the area of distribution planning was awarded a NATO System Science Prize. He is an honorary member of Omega Rho and a fellow of the International Academy of Management. In 1997, Dr. Geoffrion was president of the leading professional society in his field, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, and in 1998 he became the first UCLA Anderson professor to be elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
The Canadian Operational Research Society
Established in 1958, the Canadian Operational Research Society works to advance the theory and practice of operational research. Its primary purpose is to stimulate and promote the exchange of ideas and information among individuals interested in operational research.
About UCLA Anderson

Award winning faculty renowned for their research and teaching, highly selective students, successful alumni and world-class facilities combine to provide an extraordinary learning opportunity.

Sorry, no progress to report; which means that it will not be this year. We're still working with the publisher on a number of titles.

True enough but still there best commentary out there I have seen all in all. But I will say if you combined Pillar and Brazo together i might say that together was pretty good. But both those series are pretty incomplete and indeed no one has the OT Apollos volumes electronically yet...

Rather than pointlessly asking repeatedly I thought I would ask something practical, is there anyway I can volunteer my time in order to help bring NIB to Accordance. I am not a programer but thought I might be able to do something.

sorry I didn't show the date. yes if you look at the "I" in DEI you can see it is a shoulder fold variety. And after comparing it to many of the more common,near leaf/far leaf varieties , I am sure it is the 1953 shoulder fold far leaf.
Could it be the missing chrome variety? only missing chrome were all that rust is.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Hostess is moving forward with the sale of its Drake's cakes to the maker of Little Debbie cakes.
The bankrupt company says it picked McKee Foods as the buyer for the cakes, which include Devil Dogs, Funny Bones and Yodels, after nobody stepped forward to top its offer.
A source who requested anonymity because the sale process is private had said the pair of investment firms picked to buy Twinkies had expressed interest in Drake's as well, but that the offer ultimately did not qualify. The auction scheduled for Friday will be canceled as a result, according to a filing in bankruptcy court.
Separately, Metropoulos & Co., which is joining Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) to buy Twinkies, said it hopes to have the cakes back on shelves by this summer.

On the campaign trail, Obama claimed repeatedly that, if elected, he would stop federal interference in jurisdictions where voters and legislators had chosen to legalize cannabis as medicine. In 2007, he said persecuting infirm people for using medicine that is legal at the state level "makes no sense" and is "not a good use of our resources."
"What I'm not going to be doing is using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," Obama promised. After winning the presidency, however, Obama has waged the war on medical marijuana with more ferocity than even former President George W. Bush.
Early this week, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) raided "Oaksterdam University," a California-based educational institution training students to work in the state's booming medicinal cannabis industry. Several pharmacies selling legal medical marijuana were also targeted.
It was not immediately clear why the institutions were attacked by the administration. Officials declined to comment, saying only that they had a warrant.
Outraged state lawmakers and activist organizations responded after the federal raids by calling for Obama to uphold his campaign pledge to end the war on medical marijuana in states that have legalized it. Citing a variety of arguments, critics of the heavy-handed policies publicly blasted the President and his administration.
The coalition of legislators — two Republicans and four Democrats from California, Washington, New Mexico, Maine, and Colorado — attacked what they called Obama's "zealous and misguided war on medical marijuana." Under America's federal system, the lawmakers observed, states are allowed to chart their own course. Indeed, the Tenth Amendment makes that crystal clear.
The legislators also slammed the federal government's peddling of false information related to marijuana's broad range medicinal uses — the feds claim there are none. And the apparent federal effort to ensure that the market is controlled by criminals came under fire in the letter as well.
"States with medical marijuana laws have chosen to embrace an approach that is based on science, reason, and compassion," the lawmakers wrote in the open letter to Obama. "The laws were drafted with considered thoughtfulness and care, and are thoroughly consistent with the American tradition of using the states as laboratories for public policy innovation and experimentation."
While each of the states has different laws and regulations governing the use and distribution of medical cannabis, the policies are all motivated by a desire to protect seriously ill patients and provide safe sources of medicine, the letter stated. Plus, all of the state governments decided it was time to stop wasting scarce law enforcement resources on punishing severely ill people.
"Unfortunately, these laws face a mounting level of federal hostility and confusing mixed messages from the Obama Administration, the Department of Justice, and the various United States Attorneys," the lawmakers complained. And it is getting worse.
Despite some initial relief from federal persecution when Obama took power, they wrote, more than a few federal prosecutors have recently been attempting to improperly influence states' legislative processes. In several instances, state officials including Governors have even backed down under pressure from the administration.
Incredibly, the U.S. government has even threatened state officials with criminal prosecution. "It defies logic and precedent that the federal government would start prosecuting state employees now," the lawmakers explained. "Nonetheless, the suggestion that state employees are at risk is having a destructive and chilling impact."
But the people's state representatives are getting fed up, according to the letter. "We, the undersigned state legislators, call on state and local officials to not be intimidated by these empty federal threats," the lawmakers declared. "Our state medical marijuana programs should be implemented and move forward. Our work, and the will of our voters, should see the light of day."
The letter called on the federal government to stop interfering with state decisions concerning medicinal cannabis regulation. It also asked Obama to stand by his campaign promises, respect state laws, and stop issuing threats.
"Let us seek clarity rather than chaos," the lawmakers pleaded, asking Obama not to use state employees as "pawns" in his "misguided" war. "Don't force patients underground, to fuel the illegal drug market."
After the April 2 raids in California, a coalition of six prominent activist organizations — including a group of current and former law enforcement officers — also blasted the administration for terrorizing people involved in the lawful medical industry. The open letter to Obama was signed by the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), and Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP).
"Our coalition represents the views of tens of millions of Americans who believe the war on medical marijuana patients and providers you are fighting is misguided and counterproductive," the letter stated. "As your administration prepares to release its annual National Drug Control Strategy, we want to speak with one voice and convey our deep sense of anger and disappointment in your lack of leadership on this issue."
The groups pointed out that state laws legalizing the production and distribution of medical marijuana "shift control of marijuana sales from the criminal underground to state-licensed, taxed, and regulated producers and distributors." But instead of celebrating or even just tolerating the state schemes — which starve cartels of profits while offering benefits to patients — Obama has allowed authorities to trample all over medical providers, they wrote.
"The National Drug Control Strategy you are about to release will no doubt call for a continuation of policies that have as a primary goal the ongoing and permanent control of the marijuana trade by drug cartels and organized crime," the letter charged, noting that 50,000 people have died in Mexico over the last five years due to the drug war. "We cannot and do not endorse the continued embrace of this utterly failed policy."
Instead, the organizations said, they stand with Latin American leaders, the Global Commission on Drug Policy, and the vast majority of people who voted Obama into office in recognizing that the time has come for a new approach to marijuana policy. "[W]e hope that you will immediately reconsider your drug control strategy," the letter concluded.
As Obama continues to demand a more vigorous global drug war, policy makers around the world are increasingly searching for alternatives. Portugal and the Czech Republic, for example, legalized all drugs. And the results have been encouraging: less drug abuse, less crime, and less government.
Meanwhile, Latin American leaders, despite fierce pressure from the Obama administration, are openly contemplating legalization of narcotics as well. The U.S. government, on the other hand, is now seeking to step up its unconstitutional federal war and even deepen the involvement of the American military.

100 New Domino's Storefronts to Open in India
According to the Indian broadsheet DNA, Domino's Pizza is ramping up to open 100 new stores in India by next spring, bringing their total to 700.
Shyam S. Bhartia, chairman of Jubilant FoodWorks—the company that owns the exclusive rights for Domino's in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka—went into some of the reasons behind the expansion.
The idea, apparently, is to appeal to what Shyam terms "tier-II and tier-III cities", where vast swathes of "aspirational brand customers" await, eager for the chance to participate in globalization. Which is why most of the new stores will be opening up in places we've most likely never heard of, such as Baramati and Cuttack.
Jubilant Foodworks recently opened their 600th store in Vasant Kunj, a wealthy neighborhood in Delhi. This new Domino's debuted their "Pizza Theatre" concept, which features an open display kitchen.
According to Steven Pizziol—VP Asia Pacific of Domino's Pizza—these new store openings will make India the second largest market for the company after the US, and the fastest-growing in the world.
Thought they don't compare (how could they?) to the insane fabulousness of Scott Oelkers' Japanese ads, I thought I'd leave you all with one of India's Domino's Pizza commercials.

Anglers Inn International Booking on New Mexican Bass Lake
Category : INDUSTRY NEWS
MAZATLAN, Mexico (June 24, 2014) – There have been rumblings during the past few years of a new Mexican bass fishing lake opening up near Mazatlan. Everything anglers are hearing is true and Lake Picachos lives up to the billing. The lake is just now turning on, and Anglers Inn is primed to begin booking clients on a body of water that is only 55 minutes from Mazatlan.
The 14,000-acre irrigation and supply lake is only five years old, which is ideal for plucking 10- to 12-pound bass from. Plus, this fishery is cooperatively owned, meaning that the fishing is well regulated and managed. Boats are reporting 100-fish day with big fish up to 12 pounds being caught.
Most lakes in Mexico are ran and regulated by the government. However, the mayor and the local ownership cooperative of Puerta de San Marcos protect Lake Picachos.
Commercial netters are allowed on Picachos, but nets must be gone by April 1 instead of the state mandated May 1. The local fishing co-operative also falls under the mayor's rule so he has the power to close the season early and turn the lake over to visiting sportfishermen. Currently there is no legal harvest of bass, and there is a check station to make sure anglers are in accordance to the laws of the lake. This applies to all recreation fishermen.
This lake is a hot ticket right now and the best is yet to come. Check for yourself at www.anglersinn.com and https://www.anglersinn.tv for current fishing reports. It started with Billy Chapman Jr., owner and founder of Anglers Inn International and friends fishing it to make sure it was right. Once everyone heard Billy Chapman Jr. was involved everyone started clamoring to be part of the action.
This year we will have Abu Garcia Veritas rods paired with Abu Garcia Revo SX reels for anglers to check out. With airline regulations getting tighter, rods become difficult to check through various airlines. Anglers Inn has the perfect actions and even some left-handed reels to suit any need.
Bookings are coming in fast for the 2014-2015 Season because of the great fishing we had the last few months. So if you are planning a trip to El Salto or new Lake Picachos, give us a call at 1-800-468-2347 to reserve your preferred dates.
Come down and experience the "Anglers Inn Way"!

Nobody expected the Pistons to win the NBA championship this season.
In retrospect, it might have been an unrealistic expectation to reach the playoffs.
By any standard, however, the Pistons did not have a good season. More importantly, it ended with a whimper.
It was the double-whammy. Not only did the Pistons underachieve, but they didn't make progress moving forward.
The Pistons of this season were like the Pistons of last season…and the season before…and the season before that.
It cost coach Lawrence Frank his job Thursday. It was hardly a surprise he was fired a day after the season ended.
While Frank was held accountable, what about longtime Pistons' president of basketball operations, Joe Dumars?
It's been awhile since the Pistons not only appeared in the playoffs annually, but took deep runs. It would be inaccurate to believe Frank was a fall guy. There was little meshing on the floor. Instead of coming together, the Pistons became more fragmented during games. It wasn't a difficult decision to release Frank with two years remaining on his contract.
Yet, the one constant as the Pistons have fallen to the ranks of irrelevant on the sports landscape in Detroit has been Dumars and a revolving door of coaches.
Dumars has a great resume. He is a big-time Detroit sports legend. He played on the 'Bad Boys' NBA title teams as a Hall of Fame player. He built the 'Going to Work' Pistons with several astute decisions as an executive.
Tom Gores has owned the team for two years. He has essentially cleaned house with one notable exception - Dumars.
It seems simple then. Dumars has been living on his past, and all good things must eventually come to an end. It's time for Joe to go.
It's not that simple. Actually, it is complicated.
After the Pistons' Glory Days II ended abruptly with a first-round playoff loss to the Cavaliers in 2009, Dumars made a series of poor decisions. The trade for Allen Iverson was a disaster. The free agent signings of Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva hindered rather than helped the Pistons. Ah, what, exactly are the Pistons' paying Rodney Stuckey $8 million a year for again? Who was less prepared to coach an NBA team, Michael Curry or John Kuester? At least the decision to hire Frank can't be placed at the feet of Dumars. Gores, by all accounts, was the one who bought the bill of goods Frank, who has always talked a better game than he coaches, was selling.
Yet, there are signs Dumars is regaining his touch.
Greg Monroe, Brandon Knight and Andre Drummond were excellent good draft picks, and not necessarily obvious ones. Second-round pick Kyle Singler was solid, too. There is a nucleus in place.
The Pistons will have another early lottery pick this year. They have a lot of salary cap space to address needs.
Granted, most look at the Pistons' recent record of ineptitude and see little hope. I look at the Pistons and see solid working parts for the future if properly deployed.
Lawrence Frank wasn't the right fit to lead the Pistons on the floor.
Dumars? He gets a little more time because of that speck of light starting to show at the end of a dark tunnel.
But if it doesn't get considerably brighter next season, it's likely time will no longer be on his side.

No. 17 UCLA (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) vs. Virginia Tech (8-4, 5-3 ACC)
Location: Sun Bowl Stadium, El Paso, Texas; Dec. 31, 11 a.m. PT
TV: CBS (Verne Lundquist, Gary Danielson, Tracy Wolfson)
Radio: AM 570 (Chris Roberts, Matt Stevens, Wayne Cook)
After UCLA's win over USC on Nov. 30, head coach Jim Mora seized the moment. During a live postgame interview, he attempted to rope star quarterback Brett Hundley into committing to another year in college.
It didn't work — Hundley demurred on his NFL draft decision — but a month later, Mora remained optimistic heading into today's Sun Bowl matchup against Virginia Tech.
Asked Monday if he's thought about the redshirt sophomore potentially playing his final game as a Bruin, the coach said: "I don't think it will be. I'm very hopeful it won't be."
Earlier this week, Hundley said he had not yet received feedback from the NFL draft advisory board, and remains uncertain about his future.
Virginia Tech coordinator Bud Foster compared him to former Syracuse star and six-time Pro Bowler Donovan McNabb, but the consensus among draft analysts is that the 6-foot-3, 222-pound prospect should return to school.
However, Hundley's upside is still tantalizing. ESPN's Adam Schefter wrote that at least two NFL teams have the UCLA standout as their top-rated quarterback should he declare.
Time has given the Bruins' last 10-win signal-caller more perspective on his final collegiate game. Now working at Bay Area-based Skyline Construction, Drew Olson rebounded from three first-quarter interceptions in the 2005 Sun Bowl, tossing three touchdowns in the 50-38 win over Northwestern.
He learned heading into that game that only six UCLA teams had ever reached double-digit wins, something that has only sunk in further since he bumped it to seven.
"It's kind of amazing that there have been that few 10-win seasons," he said. "It's something I've really thought of for sure. You just realize what a magical year that was and how difficult it is to win 10 games."
A year after selling out its 11,000 tickets to the Holiday Bowl, UCLA's Sun Bowl sales have lagged. Facing its most distant postseason destination since 2009, the school has sold a little under 3,000 tickets, returning 5,000 to the Sun Bowl.
A round-trip flight to and from El Paso runs at least $350 or so, while a two- or three-hour drive down to San Diego requires a tank of gas and fewer hotel nights.
Stay tuned for Live Blog during the game. See more on the Sun Bowl from the Daily News. Follow the latest UCLA news on Jack Wang's Inside UCLA blog.

Oprah Winfrey has landed another TV coup – she'll be the first to interview Lindsay Lohan after the troubled actress walks free from court-ordered rehab next month.
The Mean Girls star was sentenced to serve 90 days in a treatment facility earlier this year (13), and her time will be up at the beginning of August.
Lohan will return to public life with a sit-down Oprah chat for the TV titan's OWN network.
Confirming the big news, a Winfrey spokeswoman says, "OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August."
Lohan has also agreed to front an "eight-part documentary series", which will revolve around the actress' efforts to stay healthy and make a career comeback after her three-month rehab stint, for the network in 2014

Jobs report aside, Bernanke sees rosier second half of 2011
WASHINGTON — Shrugging off last week's dismal May jobs report, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday that he expects the U.S. economic recovery to revive later this year as headwinds from outside factors will ease.
Speaking to an international monetary conference in Atlanta, Bernanke said that high energy prices and spillover effects from the devastating natural disaster in Japan have hurt U.S. growth since April.
But these headwinds, which help explain the weak 54,000 jobs added in May, are likely to "dissipate in coming months" and "growth seems likely to pick up somewhat in the second half of the year," the chairman said.
"Overall, the economic recovery appears to be continuing at a moderate pace, albeit at a rate that is both uneven across sectors and frustratingly slow from the perspective of millions of unemployed and underemployed workers," Bernanke said.
In a highly unusual move, the chief executive of J.P. Morgan Chase, the strongest U.S. bank, confronted Bernanke during a question and answer session. Jamie Dimon read off a long list of regulatory and market fixes to the problems that brought the global financial system to its knees in 2008, then complained about a 3 percent global tax being considered on large banks.
"Has anyone bothered to study the cumulative effect of these things," Dimon asked in a rare public confrontation with the world's most powerful central banker, asking "is this holding us back" from a more robust economic recovery?
Bernanke shot back that the financial regulations being put in place are the "most comprehensive reform since the 1930s" and are warranted given the several financial crisis the global system has suffered through in recent years.
Private-sector economists in recent weeks have scaled back their growth projections, which had been as high as 3.5 percent for the year, and many are now projecting an annual growth rate of 3 percent or less. That would suggest hiring is likely to be tepid, and that there'd be insufficient economic activity to bring down the jobless rate, now 9.1 percent.
Appearing with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House on Tuesday, President Barack Obama also suggested that the recent spate of weak economic indicators is likely to be transitory.
"I'm not concerned about a double-dip recession. I am concerned about the fact that the recovery that we're on is not producing jobs as quickly as I want it to happen," Obama said. "Prior to this month, we had seen three months of very robust job growth in the private sector. And so we were very encouraged by that. This month you still saw job growth in the private sector, but it had slowed down. We don't yet know whether this is a one-month episode or a longer trend."
Obama singled out gasoline prices as weighing on consumer psychology and family budgets.
Bernanke signaled clearly that he plans to keep interest rates low, and that there aren't yet signs that the U.S. economy can stand on its own feet without what the Fed calls "accommodative" policies to spark lending and investment.
The chairman ended his speech with a caveat.
"Although it is moving in the right direction, the economy is still producing at levels well below its potential; consequently, accommodative monetary policies are still needed. Until we see a sustained period of stronger job creation, we cannot consider the recovery to be truly established," he warned.
Bernanke spent much of his speech attempting to knock down suggestions that anything but supply and demand accounts for the surge in the price of oil and other commodities.
Acknowledging that the price of benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude is up nearly 40 percent over the past 12 months, Bernanke said that corn and wheat prices have doubled over the same period, and aluminum and copper prices are up by a third.
A recent McClatchy investigation linked the rise in crude prices to increases in speculative trading by financial players who never intend to take possession of oil and other commodities. Some 70 percent of contracts for future oil delivery are now bought by financial speculators — largely big investment banks and hedge funds — who never take delivery of the oil. They just flip the contract for a quick profit.
Bernanke insisted Tuesday that the price spikes are due to strong increases in global demand_ especially in the developing world, where economic growth averaged 7 percent a year from 2002 to 2008_ and the lack of commensurate increases in supply.
"For example, world oil consumption rose by 14 percent from 2000 to 2010; underlying this overall trend, however, was a 40 percent increase in oil use in emerging market economies and an outright decline of 4-{ percent in the advanced economies," he said. "In particular, U.S. oil consumption was about 2 1/2 percent lower in 2010 than in 2000, with net imports of oil down nearly 10 percent, even though U.S. real GDP rose by nearly 20 percent over that period."
And supplies aren't keeping up, Bernanke said, pointing to the OPEC oil cartel.
"Indeed, OPEC's production of oil today remains about 3 million barrels per day below the peak level of mid-2008. With the demand for oil rising rapidly and the supply of crude stagnant, increases in oil prices are hardly a puzzle," Bernanke said.
OPEC members meet Wednesday among reports of split ranks, with some members wanting to boost production and others, such as Iraq, seeking higher prices.
A recent report by McClatchy, based on secret State Department cables, showed that during the peak of production in 2008, the Saudis were complaining that they were ratcheting up production, but that there were not buyers, because the price was driven by speculators, not oil users.
