Auto Show: 2012 La Auto Show
BMW i8 Spyder Concept: LA Auto Show
- BMW's futuristic plug-in hybrid sports car, the i8, drops its top.
- The i8 Spyder Concept is a two-seat roadster version of the fixed-roof i8.
- A production version is likely within the next few years.
Aiming to inject some speed and style into the green-car landscape, BMW has brought a stunning convertible concept to the 2012 LA Auto Show. Unveiled at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, the BMW i8 Spyder makes its stateside debut in Los Angeles, featuring the same 354-horsepower gas/electric plug-in power system as the fixed-roof i8 seen last year in the blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
Unlike the four-seat i8 coupe, the Spyder only has room for two, but we suspect that won't be an issue in image-conscious LA. Indeed, the Spyder is, if anything, more attractive than its less sunny counterpart, flaunting a rakish profile that is reminiscent of Porsche's upcoming 918 electrified supercar.
For motivation, the plug-in i8 Spyder combines a modified front-mounted version of the compact i3 Concept's electric drive system with a rear-mounted turbocharged 3-cylinder gas engine. The results are astounding: 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, 19 miles of pure electric range and overall fuel economy of roughly 85 mpg on the European cycle.
But that's not all, as the drivetrain layout yields a perfect 50/50 weight distribution and what we expect will be excellent high-speed handling capabilities. Speaking of weight, the i8 isn't saddled with a lot of extra battery weight like some other plug-in hybrids: BMW projects a fairly reasonable curb weight of about 3,600 lbs.
Naturally, the BMW i8 Spyder is full of wild technology features that may or may not make it to production. Our favorite by far is the pair of electric scooters that fold to fit beneath the transparent engine-compartment cover. It's unclear whether the scooters' range is included in the Spyder's estimated 400-mile maximum.
Believe it or not, BMW reportedly intends to bring the radical i8 coupe to production, and we'll be surprised if the Spyder doesn't join it at some point. With genuinely cool cars like the i8 in the pipeline, the future of sustainable motoring looks bright.
What it means to you: With genuinely cool cars like the i8 in the pipeline, the future of sustainable motoring looks bright.

The Comments Go Dark: All the Ways You Showed Your Displeasure This Week
Another week has come and gone, and with it all your tales of masturbation, your poetry, wise words, and reading recommendations. Please enjoy this week's mailbag roundup and don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments.
One Beautiful Spring day a couple of years ago, my roommate and I -both of us raised outside of New York, and taught to be pretty, girlish and polite to strangers- were enjoying a beautiful spring sandwich in Union Square. We were sitting on a bench, next a girl with a weird acting older man on the other side of her (two benches: roommate, me, girl, man.) The man eventually got up and moved to the bench facing all of us on the other side of the row, at which point the girl told us that the man had been masturbating since she sat down, and that she been too intimidated to react. Of course, we were mortified and said all manner of useless "It's okay" things. Girl eventually left, and we looked up to see the same 60-ish guy masturbating to us. SO...conclusion: we went and filled up our water bottles, and practiced a maneuver in which my roommate bumped into me and I spilled water the other direction. We returned a few minutes later to same guy STILL rubbing away, now to a THIRD set of girls. And, with just a modicum of "clumsiness pretense" we dumped a full bottle of water into his lap.
And I have to say as I usually don't go in for either the notion or the practice of vigilante justice, but there was a flicker of comprehension between this shithead and us that made us incredibly happy. Honestly, empowering. And he was drenched and clearly had to go home.
Problem solved?

Gawker, a Poem
Sinful pleasure, a painful deceit.
Just the frantic illusion of all we see.
Morning dew, sweeping the soles of our hearts.
Tragic storms, left to take their part.
A little shame, a carcass and dust.
Little lambs, having more than enough.
The odd lines, the random circle.
The lost soul, waiting for a miracle.
Then the masses, waiting for liberty.
Wallowing in the pits of self-pity.
Here we are asroses of the afternoon sky.
Here for a while and soon shall pass by.
In danger of a frail human neglect.
Here for a while but never forget.
Out of the wind we shall go at dusk.
Taking with us our flavored musk.
For ashort while we come but not in the masses.
Love us now for very soon it passes.
Our time to leave, no second chance bestowed.
Finishing our heavenly time borrowed.
And for whatever time we have, let us love.
For the noon sun comes, but not for long.
For soon we shall be gone.
So run, baby, run.

Cruise 2008: Chanel
The Chanel Line has taken off and boy do I wish I were in flight. Karl presented a youthful Resort collection of colorful Chanel duds to the top of female Hollywood society and it looks like there is plenty to go around.
A mix of satin, stripes, sequins, tweed and denim gave way to a sometimes utilitarian sometimes completely feminine collection. I love it when Karl uses color and his reds, blues and purples were fun and made nautical desirable all over again. Silhouettes were flowy and light and ready to take flight. There was either a lot of leg via mini skirts or a long strong female via wide-legged pants. All of this with layered chains and pearls, peep-toe boots and ultra-cool Chanel glovies will surely keep the jet set happy.

Benign positional vertigo is a condition in which a person develops a sudden sensation of spinning, usually when moving the head. It is the most common cause of vertigo.
Vertigo - positional; Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo; BPPV
Benign positional vertigo is due to a disturbance within the inner ear. The inner ear has fluid-filled tubes called semicircular canals. The canals are very sensitive to movement of the fluid, which occurs as you change position. The fluid movement allows your brain to interpret your body's position and maintain your balance.
Benign positional vertigo develops when a small piece of bone-like calcium breaks free and floats within the tube of the inner ear. This sends the brain confusing messages about your body's position.
There are no major risk factors. However, the condition may partly run in families. A prior head injury (even a slight bump to the head) or an inner ear infection called labyrinthitis may make some people more likely to develop the condition.
People with this condition feel as though they are spinning or moving, or that the world is spinning around them. They may experience:
The spinning sensation:
Most often, patients say the spinning feeling is triggered when they roll over in bed or tilt their head up to look at something.
To diagnose benign positional vertigo, the health care provider will often perform a test called the Dix-Hallpike maneuver.
A physical exam should otherwise be normal. A complete medical history and careful brain and nervous system (neurological) exam should be done to rule out other reasons for your symptoms.
Tests that may be done include:
The most effective treatment is a procedure called "Epley's maneuver," which can move the small piece of bone-like calcium that is floating inside your inner ear. Other exercises that can readjust your response to head movements are less effective.
Occasionally, medications may be prescribed to relieve the spinning sensations. Such drugs may include:
However, these medicines often do not work very well for treating vertigo.
To prevent your symptoms from getting worse during episodes of vertigo, avoid the positions that trigger it.
Benign positional vertigo is uncomfortable, but usually improves with time. This condition may occur again without warning.
Patients with severe vertigo may get dehydrated due to frequent vomiting.
Call your health care provider if:
Avoid head positions that trigger positional vertigo.

Workshop for women journalists ends
ISLAMABAD, Sept 25: A two-day workshop for women journalists, organised by Uks in collaboration with CIPE (Center of International Private Enterprise) as part of the 'Powerful Women Powerful Nation' project concluded here on Tuesday.
The two-day workshop, started on Monday, was the second of its kind, focusing on mobilising, motivating and utilising the digital and print media to change the psyche of people pertaining to Pakistani women.
Hammad Siddiqui, Deputy Country Director CIPE, during his session on social media said: "Online media is becoming the most popular, and for sharp career growth, one would have to embed technology in practice". The session included use of pervasive interfaces and media tools to impact online journalism.
The director and executive producer of Uks Research Center said that women worked as officers, pilots, industrialists, editors and top entrepreneurs, but lacked representation in the media. She urged participants to bring aspiring success stories, both visible and hidden, of women achievers in various capacities.
The concern of inadequate space in print and electronic media apportioned to women was also highlighted in the workshop. —A Reporter

My jacket has lost it's water proofing, can it be restored?
How old is the jacket/what model and style number is it? It may still be under warranty.
I just retired a 13 year old FJ rain jacket, it still repelled rain, just needed a little fashion up-date.
I'm guessing it's approximately 3 to 4 years old. I don't have the labels anymore. It's a Dryjoys by FootJoy, also included the pants. It was a Christmas gift. Would be nice if it's under warranty, thanks.

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by adil1972, Nov 12, 2012.
is Australian open an indoor event, since it is played in winter january
January is Summer in Australia.
i dont understand how its summer in australia
No need, its hot as heck in australia that time of year.
Go back to school and ask your teacher how the Earth works
It's not a calendar or clock or even a door that makes a tennis event indoors. It's a permanent or closed retractable roof. The main show court at the Australian Open (Rod Laver Arena???) has a retractable roof. Sometimes it's an outdoor event, sometimes indoor. Most of the courts at the Open have no roof.
Well, we used to have the Australian Indoor Tennis Championship c.1973-94
If it gets too hot they do close the roof.
Different lattitudes and also below the equator! their winter comes during june july ish
They have an "extreme heat policy" at the tournament, I'm guessing this should be your first clue that it isn't winter there.
assuming 1972 is your birth year I am really confused and concerned now.
I guess you're going to have a hard time being taken seriously for the next few years in this forum.
or you are just the biggest troll.
You are wrong.
They have "extreme heat policy" because of the global warming.
You know, just in case that a heat wave strikes in the middle of the winter. For, like 4-5 months.
I read somewhere the other day that 48% of americans don't believe in evolution..
I don't know if it that's true, but golly, when i see a question like that I just shake my head!
If you think it is so simple, can you explain _why_ it is summer in the southern hemisphere in January?
finally a serious challenger for the TTW geography contest... too bad Nadal_Freak left us a long time ago.
seriously, if you visited school for 6-9 years and you're not at least able to say something like "because of the sun" I'd call you ********.
Rack him! An all-time classic TW thread!
What's heavier: 1Lb of wool or 1Lb of gold??
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?
Here's a very simplified answer, and something most 5th graders have learned.
We live on a planet.
This planet is called Earth.
The Earth rotates around the sun. (this has been proven, btw)
The Earth also spins on an axis.
This axis is not vertical, but tilted.
This tilt means that at any time during the year, either the northern or the southern hemisphere will be the recipient of more of the sun's energy.
When the energy is most direct on a certain hemisphere, that part of the earth will experience summer.
In Australia, this falls in line with a month on our calendar that is called January.
I hope this helps.
For more information follow this link....... https://www.google.com/
Trolling of highest order!
Is Australia an island or a continent? What is the difference between the two?
Australia is normally considered too big to be an island. It also sits on its own tectonic plate, unlike Greenland for example (another huge island) which sits on North America's. Therefore it is usually defined as a continent.
This is a fine explanation but misses one key point -- that the tilt of the rotation axis to the plane of the Earth orbit does not change as Earth goes around the sun. In any case, while not too complicated, I doubt most people would be able to produce this explanation right away.
What would you rather drop on your foot?
So you were just trolling.
And if I'm reading your post correctly we're saying the exact same thing. The north or south pole is always pointing at the same point in space, causing the change in where on earth is receiving the direct sunlight during its orbit.
F***ing hemispheres, how do they work?
What I don't get about Australia, is how they walk upside down
The radius of the sun's orbit around the Earth's axis symmetry varies throughout the year, being smallest when summer is in the northern annulus and largest when it is summer in the southern annulus.
from: http://theflatearthsociety.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seasons
oh god, why?
See, I never knew the tectonic plate angle to this question. That is why I love this board.
I was just pointing out that while nearly everyone knows that the seasons are switched between the hemispheres, the actual physical explanation of that is not that trivial.
For instance, why does the axis of the rotation not change with respect to the orbital plane? I think this is a result of some gyroscopic effect, but I am not sure.
Take the Moon, for example. It is phase-locked with the Earth -- we never see "the dark side" (it is not really always dark, of course). Why does not the same thing happen with the Earth with respect to the sun?
Tidal locking is a consequence of distance, the bodies' masses, and time. Although the moon is much smaller than the sun, its closer proximity means it exerts a greater tidal influence overall (about 2.5x greater, as far as I remember), so the moon has been locked to the earth first.
Let me set the record straight.
December to February is summer in Australia.
Late Jan and Feb is the hottest time of the year.
Melbourne has not had an extremely hot summer in 3 years. Three years ago the temp hit 48 degrees on a particular day and you also had bushfires blazing 3 hours away.
I may be wrong but I don't recall the closed roof policy being invoked for heat at the past 3 Opens.
Melbourne is also notorious in Australia for producing 4 seasons in a day. I've seen it hail on a nice sunny day when there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The roof was originally installed because of the rain.
Melbourne Park is set to get 2 more retractable roofs.
Australia is a country, island and a continent. We don't touch any other country, we are completely surrounded by water.
Op troll or not, there you have it.
I see, this is a consequence of the tides. In addition, given the same tidal force, it is much easier to phase lock the Moon to the Earth, than the Earth to the Sun since the moon has only 1% of the mass. Makes sense.
That actually suggests that eventually Earth will be phase-locked to the Sun and the seasons will disappear. In fact, now I remember reading that somewhere, perhaps some sci fi.
If Australia is downunder, what does that make New Zealand?
How can there be 7 continents and the Olympic rings have 5, allegedly one for each continent?
What on earth would change it?
Are serious or kidding?
Wanna change the axis of the earth? Here's all it takes:
That is the case today, yes. It wasn't always like that.
[deleted post]
Best thread ever!
actually it does change a bit... you've got 2 variations:
- precession (rotation of the earth's rotation axis around another axis, perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, with a period of ~26000 years)
- nutation (short-term 'oscillations' of the earth's rotation axis, the largest component having a period of ~18.6 years)
PS: please note that it might work differently in the flat earth theory.

Stocks were up 10% through the first three months of the year, then down 8.5% over the next two. More recently, the market has soared on global stimulus hopes, then sunk on the possibility that it may not matter. Equities were up 4% in the first two weeks of September, then down 3% since then. The market stumbled on weak job numbers earlier in the year, and then rallied right back on encouraging numbers from the housing sector.
You get the idea: Stocks are all over the map, and with little rhyme or reason. That's not even the troubling part, though. What's troubling is that with each wild, unpredicted swing, traders are increasingly frustrated by a market that doesn't behave like it should. Why bother playing the game if the rules keep changing?
There is a solution. Oh, it may be one you like, and it's certainly not sexy. But the solution is …. buy stocks you don't have to worry about, and just accept the fact that the market's going to push them around a little in the short run.
If you're really ready to embrace that idea, here are your top prospects for a true buy-and-hold portfolio.
Waste Management
How does the old cliché go? The only things that are certain in this world are death and taxes? You can add one more item to that list — trash. As long as human beings walk the planet, they'll be throwing stuff away.
That's good news for trash-hauling company Waste Management (NYSE:WM), which has been profitable for 10 straight years, escaping the recession practically unscathed. Chalk it up to the nature of the business, and the fact that trash companies have a de facto monopoly in the markets where they operate. Throw in the fact that Waste Management has a pretty robust waste-to-gas side business, and the company makes money coming and going.
Gilead Sciences
How does a high-flying biopharma name like Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:GILD) make a list of reliable stocks? Relax. Gilead isn't as high-flying as it may seem. It just makes a point of focusing on high-demand, high-margin drugs (primarily for HIV, but with increasing exposure to hepatitis C), and it lets the Johnson & Johnsons (NYSE:JNJ) of the world struggle with the headaches of trying to be as many things to as many people as possible.
IBM (NYSE:IBM) may be classified as a technology name, but it's unlike those we tend to think of when we hear the word "tech." IBM is actually a nickel machine, designed to generate recurring revenue in perpetuity. Though it sells "one-off" products and consulting work, mostly it aims to set up service contracts that bill on a monthly or quarterly basis. It's a great business model because once IBM becomes integrated into a client's daily routine, it's very difficult to disconnect what IBM does for the organization. That's why Big Blue has managed to increase year-over-year earnings in every quarter since 2005.
PPG Industries
In early September, the point was made that paint manufacturers were about as recession-resistant as anybody had a right to hope for. Though there are several fine paint makers to choose from, PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) is the cream of the crop. It's got a decent 2% dividend right now, and a decade-long track record of solid growth and profitability … even when times were exceedingly tough in 2008. For perspective, the pros expect PPG to increase earnings by an average of 14% per year over the next three years.
Last but certainly not least, no list of reliable stocks would be complete without 3M (NYSE:MMM), for a couple of different reasons.
While most investors consider General Electric (NYSE:GE) to be the market's mutual-fund-in-a-stock, 3M is actually involved in more business lines. It makes everything from packing tape to road signs to library management systems. That diversity has helped it weather more than a few storms for decades now, and should continue to do so.
That's not the most compelling reason to want 3M in your portfolio. What's most attractive about 3M is a dividend payment in every quarter since 1916. Better still is that the dividend has increased every year since the 70s. The current yield of 2% isn't a lot, but when 3M increases that consistently while shares also appreciate in value, it can become a favored holding real quick.
The Last Word
All that being said, while these companies may be the market's most reliable, that doesn't inherently mean now is the right time to get into a long-term position. Gilead and 3M, in fact, are technically overbought as of the latest look at both charts. That doesn't mean they're not great long-term ideas, though. It just means true buy-and-hold investors may find a better price on them by being patient.

My family and I are not Jewish, but as Christians, we recognize those miracles. My cousin is Jewish so when my girls started asking questions about his faith, we started to make potato latkes and light a menorah each Hanukkah season along with my cousin so they could understand. Now the girls know how he practices his faith and they can really connect with him. When I saw these patterns, I just had to make them.

Dear Sir
Since writing the accompanying note, I have seen Sir J P Lacaita, who has received letters from England to the effect that Ld Vernon has made his library including the copy of B. da Imola an heirloom in his family and has conveyed it to trustees for that purpose, the trustees being his oldest son and Arnold White Esq. 12 St Marlborough Street, London. The trustees and Ld V. himself are understood to be willing to loan you the Ms on the terms I have before stated, and to put it into the hands of Mr. Adams (or a person known to and knowing all parties) for you. Sr J. P. L. says the matter of the copy is not much more extensive than that of Lamorini's translation, and would make three fair octavos. I suggested that I was afraid you would think it now too late to bring out an edition in time for the centenario, if you had other objection to which Sir J. P. L. replied, that if the first volume were ready at that time, -------------------------------- Page -------------------------------- it would suffice, and the succeeding volumes might be brought out when convenient. I said that Italian Dantophiles regard the publication of B. da I. as very desirable and it is thought it would sell well. In case the first vol. should not go off readily, of course the publication of the others might be dropped, but better judges than I believe it would be altogether successful even as a financial operation.
In any event, I should be very glad if you would write both to Mr. White and to Ld Vernon (Sudbury House, Derbysh) with your acceptance in acknowledgments of their offer. Sr J. P. L. suggests that your letter to Ld V. should be with a cachet volant and enclosed in the cover with you letter to Mr White, to save all susceptibilities.
Mr J P L thinks very well of my plan of a concordance. I wish you could come over here with your books, and I hope that under the next administration you may.
I am, dear Sir
very truly yoursGeo P MarshC E Norton Esq

Mitt Romney's Dark History of Occasional Rage
We're still monitoring Mitt Romney for the moment in which his bottled-up frustrations rise to an unsustainable level and he explodes, in triumphant fashion. But what would it look like? Well, there'd be body parts to go along with the machine parts laying all over the place, of course, since it would be an explosion. But stories of his previous outbursts offer some clues for what the build-up to the final blast might look like.
The New Republic has a story up about "the peculiar anger of Mitt Romney." As others have noted, it doesn't build a strong case that Romney is a regularly angry person—it only dredges up a handful of stories of him losing his temper over the last thirty years. But that's why it's Romney-peculiar! Everyone gets angry in one way or another, and Romney tends to lose it during hilarious flash points after putting on displays of forced affability for years at a time.
Anyway, here's a funny story of Romney getting mad, and instantly trying to bottle it back up:
Two decades later, at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Romney found himself stuck in a huge traffic backup on the road to the men's downhill ski area, because some buses had not received the proper security-clearance placards and were being prevented from proceeding. Romney, who had organized the Salt Lake Olympics, jumped out to take charge. He started directing traffic, over the objections of a sheriff's deputy, Kodi Taggart; she later filed a report on Romney's interference. And he lit into an 18-year-old volunteering as a security officer, Shaun Knopp. Knopp told reporters that Romney had asked "who the fuck" he was and "what the fuck" he was doing and had then told him, "We got the Olympics going on, and we don't need this shit going on." Romney denied this at the time, saying he had not used such language since high school. "I would not, have not, and never would use the f-word," he said. The worst word he used with Knopp, he said, was "H-E double hockey sticks."
What does that spell? Let's consult an intern... HELL, he's saying? That's even worse! And it's exactly where he's going now — the Mormon version, that is — for this admission of cursing as well as his history of smoking a cigarette and having a beer that one time.

The Gold Standard
Fort Knox, KY | October 3, 2013
For most educators, winning awards isn't a top priority; teaching and having children grasp learning is considered more important. But last week, Fort Knox's Kingsolver Elementary School was recognized for its achievements when U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced it as a 2013 National Blue Ribbon School.Kingsolver was one of three DoDEA schools that will receive the esteemed award.According to a Depart-ment of Defense news article, the Blue Ribbon Schools Program annually recognizes approximately 300 public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students are performing at very high levels or where significant improvements are being made in student achievements.
"The Department of Education gives out the award in two different categories," explained Laura Gibson, Kingsolver principal. "One category is for schools (that) close the gap for students who are at risk or low achieving. The other category is for highly- performing schools and that's where we fell. We were very honored to even be nominated."
Gibson said the school's third graders' TerraNova scores had shown a significant increase over a five-year period. Students were tested in five categories, including reading; language; math; science and social studies. Students scored in the 86 percentile in those categories in 2013, a 16 percent increase from 2009.Dr. Frank Calvano, the DoDEA Kentucky district superintendent, said most schools score in the 50 percentile and it's a fantastic thing when a school scores in the 60 percentile.
"When you (score) in the 70 and 80 percentile, that's over the top; it's a rare achievement for any school in any district," said Calvano. "It's a real prestigious award.""(It's) the highest award a school can receive in the country," Gibson said. "(I'm) proud of our students and teachers. (We would like to) plan some sort of celebration assembly (when) we (receive) the award in November.
"Calvano said it was a collective effort by teachers, students and the staff at central office which enabled the school to win the award."It's the whole village—parents, staff, teachers," he explained. "It's the village educating the child. When those come together you get positive outcomes."

FIA expects new Concorde Agreement in coming weeks
- Drivers:
- Bernie Ecclestone
- |
- Jean Todt
The FIA is expecting a new Concorde Agreement to be struck in the coming weeks after the teams and Bernie Ecclestone met with FIA president Jean Todt on Monday.
The current Concorde Agreement is set to expire at the end of the year, but preliminary negotiations for a new one have been ongoing this year between Ecclestone and the teams. At Monday's meeting the FIA and Ecclestone put forward new terms for a deal until 2020 and a statement issued by the FIA said that, while progress had been made, a final agreement was still a few weeks off.
"During a constructive meeting, Jean Todt, the FIA President, in co-operation with Bernie Ecclestone, the Commercial Rights Holder, has presented to all F1 Team Principals the new structure of governance, including the new conditions of entry for the Concorde Agreement, starting in 2013," read the statement.
"All the participants in the meeting were encouraged to seek clarification which resulted in a fruitful and helpful debate on how the new structure would operate in 2013 and beyond.
"A further important step has been achieved today to secure the future of the F1 World Championship which should lead to a final settlement to be reached between the FIA, the Commercial Rights Holder and the Teams in the coming weeks."
The Concorde Agreement covers the governance of the sport and the division of Formula One's revenues between the teams and the FIA. The governing body is believed to be seeking a greater share of revenues, but speaking to the Financial Times, Todt said he would not be willing to sacrifice any power.
"For me, the FIA must have a bigger impact, not erosion," he said. "I'm not a dictator trying to control. The contribution and the role of the FIA has to be protected, to be respected."
He added: "It makes me smile when I read that we are going to lose control . . . I will never allow things which are under our responsibility to be dealt with by anybody else."
He also put forward the case for the FIA earning a large share of F1's revenues.
"If you sometimes read the figures, F1 is a $2bn [revenue] business or $1.5bn. The FIA is a non-profit organisation, but we need to run our organisation. We need to encourage the development of the sport, we need to encourage development of action for road safety."

The mother of an active 4-H member said at last week's meeting of the Sheridan County Fair Association's Board of Trustees, that trouble is brewing. Chari Frederickson addressed the board with her concerns of miscommunication when it comes to certain requirements.
Facilities Director for the Sheridan County Fairgrounds, Melissa Albrecht, said that Frederickson told her some of this year's 4-H judging records - including final scores - had been shredded. Albrecht said they are state documents and should be kept for a minimum of two years.
Frederickson told the board this stems from an incident where another girl won an award she thought her daughter, Maggie, had won fair and square.
Jerrica Lind is the Youth Development Educator for 4-H's Sheridan extension. After Frederickson made an inquiry into the missing fair book, Lind told her that Albrecht was the one responsible for the fair books - and the award. Albrecht made it clear this is not the case and it does not fall under the responsibility of the SCFA. Albrecht said she signs the checks - that's it.
Frederickson said she wanted to make sure parents who aren't satisfied with the way things turned out during the awards ceremony know who to talk to - and it's not the fair board. Members of the fair board said they plan on attending the next meeting of the Livestock Committee to hopefully clear things up.

Google is the top internet search engine and has the top internet advertising network as well. Search and advertising aren't all that Google is about though. Google launched its own open source operating system for smartphones called Android that came to market first on the T-Mobile G1.
Google has eyes on more for Android than smartphone use and some of the largest computer makers in the world are considering using Android for their netbooks. HP confirmed in April 2009 that it was considering Android for use on some of its netbook models, but pointed out that no firm decision had been made. HP has yet to announce an Android-powered netbook.
Today Acer, the world's number one netbook maker, announced that it would be offering netbooks with Android installed starting in Q3 2009. The move will make Acer the first company to offer Android on a netbook and some think that Android could challenge Microsoft's market dominance.
There has been no word on pricing form Acer, but analysts believe that Windows XP adds about $25 to the price of a netbook according to Reuters. Acer also reports that it plans to launch smartphones running Android later this year as well.
Acer's Jim Wong said, "Today's netbooks are not close to perfection at all. In two years, it will all be very different. If we do not continue to change our mobile Internet devices, consumers may not choose then anymore"
Acer wouldn't speculate on the number of netbooks it expects to ship with Android installed, but considering the return rates on Linux-powered netbooks are significantly higher than windows XP-based netbooks Android had better offer something other Linux varieties can't. The $25 savings for using Android versus Windows XP might not be enough.
Wong told Reuters, "When we are doing this new Android netbook, we are not going to make the other one (Windows XP-powered) go away. Both systems will still remain available to customers, and one will not go away because of the other."
Analysts point out that with the absence of software that runs on Android, it's far too early to speculate on how the move will affect Microsoft's Windows XP operating system that currently dominates the market.

Four Uyghur detainees released

WASHINGTON – Four men belonging to the mostly Muslim Uyghur ethnic group and held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay for more than seven years have been released and landed early Thursday on the North Atlantic island of Bermuda, Uyghur sources and the U.S. Justice Department said.
The four men, part of a larger group of 17 Uyghurs detained after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, landed on the tiny North Atlantic island at about 5:30 a.m., according to Ilshat Hassan, vice president of the Uyghur American Association.
In a written statement, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said, "By helping accomplish the president's objective of closing Guantanamo, the transfer of these detainees will make America safer."
"We are extremely grateful to the government of Bermuda for its assistance in the successful resettlement of these four detainees, and we commend the leadership they have demonstrated on this important issue."
The four released men were identified as Abdulla Abduqadir, 30; Helil Mamut, 31; Ablikim Turahun, 38; and Salahidin Ablehet, 32. The remaining 13 Uyghurs are believed to have remained at Guantanamo, and their fate wasn't immediately clear.
The Pacific island of Palau agreed this week to temporarily take in up to 17 of the men.
Most of the 17 Uyghurs from China's remote northwestern Xinjiang province held at the controversial detention facility for suspected terrorists were cleared more than four years ago of being "enemy combatants." But U.S. officials have struggled to find a country willing to take them in. A previous group was sent to Albania.
The Uyghurs were living in a self-contained camp in Afghanistan when the U.S.-led bombing campaign began in October 2001 after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. They fled to the mountains but were turned over to Pakistani authorities, who then handed them over to the United States.
The Chinese government says the men are members of the outlawed East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which Beijing and Washington regard as a terrorist organization. Beijing blames ETIM for a series of violent attacks inside China in recent years.
Rights advocates argued against returning them to China for fear they would face torture there.

Was it ever mentioned in the books, or can I just go with it?
Was it ever mentioned in the books, or can I just go with it?
We have absolutely no idea where Hermione is from, so you can pretty much roll with it. All we know is that she's English (and I do think she's English, not Welsh or Scotish or anything).
^^ this map indicates that a lot of Graingers lived in Midlands, Yorkshire and Wales at the time of her birth, so I suppose it'd be fair to assume she was from, say..
It was never ever mentioned in the books, so you can do what you like. I agree with Maia that she's English rather than Scottish or anything, though. And I think it's best to place her somewhere fairly close to London, although probably further than Harry, as getting between her home and London and her friends' houses doesn't seem to be too difficult for her family. The fact that she knew Tottenham Court Road in London in DH suggests to me that she is reasonably familiar with London, too. Or do all Brits know the name? (Sorry, I'm not British, so if anything I say here is silly, please ignore me )
This essay, although quite old, might help you a bit - just scroll down to the subheading 'The Heroes - Harry, Ron and Hermione'.
Also, JKR said on her website that in a very, very early draft of PS/SS, Harry's family lived on an island, Hermione's family lived on the mainland and her father saw an explosion on the island, sailed over and found the Potters' bodies. Jo decided very soon that that wasn't a good idea and moved the Potters to Godric's Hollow, but obviously she had placed Hermione's family by the coast early on. No doubt she's changed her mind as to where Hermione lived now anyway, but it's the only clue I can think of
So if you're not sure where to put her family, hopefully some of that info helps a bit, or if you've already got an idea, then I'd say it's probably fine, as long as it's in England. There's definitely no canon evidence, so go ahead and do what you like

Tottenham Court Road is rather well-known, actually. It's very central. I stayed at a hotel in Tottenham Court Road once. Tottenham Court Road, Charing Cross Road, Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus and Shaftesbury Avenue are the kinds of London streets that most people have at least heard mentioned at some point if they haven't been there themselves.Originally Posted by cirelondiel
I think chasing_willow's post makes a lot of sense. You can figure out a lot about someone from their name. That doesn't mean she has to live in one of those places, of course, but it makes sense anyway.
Now, just because I've never imagined Hermione with any sort of strong accent (read: Yorkshire) and believe her to be English rather than Welsh, I think it would be safe to go with West Midlands. I did a wikipedia search on Midlands; click here and scroll down to English Midlands. There's a list of counties generally included under the term Midlands as well as some notable cities and towns in the region. Here is a map of the English Midlands.
Midlands? Hmmm, that's interesting. I don't know much about the more southern counties but there is less strong accent for where I live in Nottinghamshire but there's still one that a Brit would recognise distinctly from, say, a southern accent or a Yorkshire accent. My friend from Peterborough has, to me, a southern accent but he's pretty accentless because of his upbringing anyway. However, there are a lot of regional accents, such as Gloucestershire's, which are very distinct. Be careful to not assume that it's only places like Liverpool, Northumbria and Yorkshire who have strong accents.
As for choosing due to the amount of 'Grangers' in an area. Don't think it will work. It certainly does for a surname like mine, which funnily enough is a small village in Derbyshire and there's several different families with my surname in the South Yorkshire town that I came from. However, I think Granger is too popular a name. It's not as common as Brown or Smith or Jones ... but still.
As for me ... for some random reason I'm thinking Luton. Because my friend Siobhan is from Luton and she's very Hermione-like in the way she speaks (don't tell her I said that!). It's just a rough feeling. Hermione seems like a Londonish girl but not someone from central London!
While I agree that Tottenham Court Road is fairly well known, so even a non-Londoner would know it, I think it would make sense for Hermoine to live there abouts. It seems more likely she would think of a place she was familar with, and also people seem to prefer to apparate to places they already know, Harry, for example, isn't sure whether his apparation to Shell Cottage would work.
However, nothing's definite. You can probably have her living wherever, although I can't really imagine her with a strong accent, so be careful with that!
I placed in her Oxford, as that's where Emma Watson lives and I wasn't feeling overly creative at the time. And, my mate from Oxford reminds me so much of a male version of Hermione it's not even funny. I really couldn't see her being from anywhere near Yorkshire, being from Bradford myself. Too thick of an accent for a Hermione-like character, or from the Midlands - again, just not the right accent I see her with. But she seems very South East to me.
Somewhere very irrelevant to Australia, I would say...
The accent...
That's a very good point and I failed to consider it. If Hermione had a distinct brogue of some sort, we would have probably heard about it.
I agree with Laura that she is probably not from central London - it just doesn't "fit with the profile" for a family of dentists.
I could easily see her living in the quiet 'burbs of a major city.
However! It's not impossible that she didn't have a local accent because neither she or her parents wanted to have one - it's possible to have non-regional diction for tv anchors, it's possible for actors to sound American, Australian or British, when they're really not.
Hermione seems like exactly the sort of girl who would apply copious effort and diligent practice to eliminating a trait she deems unbecoming.

A convicted sex killer on day leave from a psychiatric hospital tied up a man in his Sydney home during a bondage session before stealing his car, a court has heard.
Trent Jennings, 26, went on the run from Morisset hospital near Newcastle on December 29, 2011 and was captured five days later near Byron Bay.
Police found him sleeping in a Mercedes Benz B200 he had stolen from a man at Zetland, in inner Sydney.
Jennings appeared in Sydney's Central local Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to car theft, stealing from a dwelling and dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception.
He is now back in a secure institution after being detained at Morisset for killing his lover, Giuseppe Vitale, during a drug-fuelled sex romp in 2003.
Jennings's lawyer, Roslyn Mayne, told the court Jennings was on day release for a trip to Newcastle when he travelled to Zetland to see the man he had met on an internet chat site.
She said the pair used the drug amyl nitrate and had a consensual bondage sex session in which Jennings tied the man up.
Jennings then took the man's car and his iPad and iPhone as well as bank account details he later used to transfer $400 into his own account.
Ms Mayne said Jennings described himself as being suicidal at the time and "not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel".
She said he described his offending as self-destructive behaviour.
"He's made himself a minefield and started to walk into it," Ms Mayne said.
Magistrate Peter Maiden adjourned his sentencing until Friday.
