[...]but did they get any of the $2b Facebook bought the company for? No! If Kickstarter were a real investment platform backers should benefit from the success of the company just as easily as they can lose their money when it fails.
The problem with this is that it would require issuing stock - which requires knowledge of securities law for wherever you are (and possibly wherever Kickstarter is). Issuing stock on Kickstarter would possibly count as an IPO, which gets even more complicated.
If this were to happen, the only decent, streamlined method would be for Kickstarter to have a staff to do it for you. Which could be good if you want to become a publicly traded corporation, but that adds more overhead in reporting and investor meetings/etc. as well.

Benefits of Using Enumerated Types in This Model How the UserRequest Chart Works |
This Simulink® model implements a basic CD player using enumerated data in three C charts.
Model Component | Description | Details |
UserRequest chart | Reads and stores user inputs | How the UserRequest Chart Works |
CdPlayerModeManager chart | Determines whether the CD player operates in CD or radio mode | How the CdPlayerModeManager Chart Works |
CdPlayerBehaviorModel chart | Describes behavior of the CD player mechanism | How the CdPlayerBehaviorModel Chart Works |
This model uses two enumerated data types: RadioRequestMode and CdRequestMode.
Enumerated Data Type | Enumerated Values |
RadioRequestMode |
CdRequestMode |
By grouping related values into separate data types, you get these benefits:
Enhance readability of data values in each chart.
Avoid defining a long list of constants, which reduces the amount of data in your model.
Follow these steps to run the model:
Type sf_cdplayer at the MATLAB® command prompt.
Start simulation of the model.
The CD Player Helper GUI appears.
The Display blocks in the model show the default settings of the CD player.
In the CD Player Helper GUI, click CD in the Radio Request section.
The Display blocks for enumerated data RR and CurrentRadioMode change from OFF to CD.
In the CD Player Helper GUI, click Insert Disc.
The Display block for enumerated data CdStatus changes from EMPTY to DISCINSERT to STOP.
In the CD Player Helper GUI, click PLAY in the CD Request section.
The Display blocks for enumerated data CR, MechCmd, and CdStatus change from STOP to PLAY.
Key features of the UserRequest chart include:
Enumerated data
ml namespace operator (see ml Namespace Operator)
This chart reads user inputs from the CD Player Helper GUI and stores the information as output data.
Output Data Name | Data Type | Description |
RR | Enumerated | Operating mode of the radio component |
CR | Enumerated | Operating mode of the CD component |
DiscInsert | Boolean | Setting for CD insertion |
DiscEject | Boolean | Setting for CD ejection |
Key features of the CdPlayerModeManager chart include:
Enumerated data
Subcharts (see Encapsulate Modal Logic Using Subcharts)
Change detection (see Detect Changes in Data Values)
When the chart wakes up, the ModeManager state is entered.
The previously active substate recorded by the history junction becomes active: Standby or ON.
Note: Transitions between the Standby and ON substates occur as follows.
If the Boolean data DiscEject is 1 (or true), a transition to the Eject state occurs, followed by a transition back to the ModeManager state.
Steps 2 and 3 repeat until the chart goes to sleep.
In the ON substate, three subcharts represent the operating modes of a CD player: CD, AM radio, and FM radio. Each subchart corresponds to a different value of enumerated data RadioReq.
Value of Enumerated Data RadioReq | Active Subchart | Purpose of Subchart |
CD | CDMode | Outputs play, rewind, fast forward, and stop commands to the CdPlayerBehaviorModel chart |
AM | AMMode | Sets the CD player to AM radio mode |
FM | FMMode | Sets the CD player to FM radio mode |
The hasChanged operator detects changes in the value of RadioReq with an inner transition.
Key features of the CdPlayerBehaviorModel chart include:
Enumerated data
Temporal logic (see Control Chart Execution Using Temporal Logic)
When the chart wakes up, the Empty state is entered.
If the Boolean data DiscInsert is 1 (or true), a transition to the Inserting state occurs.
After a short time delay, a transition to the DiscPresent state occurs.
The DiscPresent state remains active until the data CMD becomes EJECT.
If the enumerated data CMD is EJECT, a transition to the Ejecting state occurs.
After a short time delay, a transition to the Empty state occurs.
Steps 2 through 6 repeat until the chart goes to sleep.
Whenever a state transition occurs, the enumerated data CdStatus changes value to reflect the behavior of the CD player.
Active State | Value of Enumerated Data CdStatus | Behavior of CD Player |
Empty | EMPTY | CD player is empty. |
Inserting | DISCINSERT | CD is being inserted into the player. |
DiscPresent.STOP | STOP | CD is present and stopped. |
DiscPresent.PLAY | PLAY | CD is present and playing. |
DiscPresent.REW | REW | CD is present and rewinding. |
DiscPresent.FF | FF | CD is present and fast forwarding. |
Ejecting | EJECT | CD is being ejected from the player. |

Recent Blue Hill Reviews
Just perfect!
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the Apartment at Arborvine! It is careful designed, thoughtful appointed and couldn't be more comfortable. The perfect spot to stop and settle while enjoying the area. We highly recommend it!
50th Anniversary
My wife and I were at Sun Flower Carriage House in August of 2014. What a lovely place. Mornings on the deck were "heaven". Very clean, quiet and private. Salt Pond offers wonderful peaceful views with frequent sightings of wildlife.
Back Again!
My husband and I had such a great time last year, that we decided to come back and stay again! The house is beautiful, with tons of natural light and plenty of room. There is also a large deck and outdoor seating overlooking the lake - just a few steps from the house.
We organized our stay to include lots of day trips to various little fishing villages along the coast, a sunrise at Acadia National Park and even checked out some local small farms. There is plenty to see and do, however we always made sure to allow for downtime in front of the cozy stone fireplace.
I would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back again soon!

C.J. Penny's place in Anderson County sports history was cemented on the night of March 10 when he swished a 30-foot shot at the buzzer to send the Bearcats to the state tournament for the first time in 12 years.
Last week, he learned that his career will be crowned as a first-team all-state selection on both the Courier-Journal and Lexington Herald-Leader teams. A senior, Penny is also the first Bearcat so honored in 12 years, when Jonathan Beasley was named to the elite teams.
The storm held off long enough for lightning to strike last Thursday.
And this thunderbolt did the damage in one of the best softball rivalries in Kentucky.
With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the second inning, Anderson County's Courtney Turpin got around on a 3-2 pitch from Shelby County's Haleigh LeCompte, driving it well over the left-field fence and setting off a wild celebration at home plate.
Updated, Sunday, April 12, 7:30 p.m. Former University of Kentucky basketball star Mike Casey, who was also well-known in Anderson County, died Thursday.
The Shelbyville Sentinel-News reported Casey's death on its website Thursday.
Jordan Alves just had one of those nights.
And he would love to have nights like last Tuesday's every time he takes the baseball field.
The Anderson County senior went 3-for-4, hit his first varsity home run, drove in three runs, robbed Nelson County of two scores with a great defensive play, took up ticket money and sold hot dogs.
OK. He didn't sell tickets or tube steaks but did just about everything else for the Bearcats as they rolled to a 10-0 win over visiting Nelson.
There is optimism for this year's Anderson County girls' tennis program.
It is a cautious optimism but the Lady Bearcats feel they could make fans turn their heads when Anderson County is mentioned.
"I expect a winning season again this year and I expect to see the team's performance improve as the season progresses and our new players get more playing time," says Lady Cat coach Catina Sims.
It is one of the best kept secrets around, but the Anderson County boys' tennis team is pretty good.
And it has its sights set on getting better.
While the Bearcats are not considered to be a contender for team regional honors – Oldham County, South Oldham and North Oldham and Franklin County figure to be at the head of that class – the Bearcats could make some major noise and have some legitimate threats for individual state tournament berths.
When Kentucky was losing the games it had no business losing this year, I wondered what Bill Keightley would have thought.
Maybe after VMI, it would have been a reminder that it was only November and March is when it counts.
After Ole Miss, probably a reminder that 11 years earlier, Tubby Smith had lost to Ole Miss – in Lexington at that – but had gone on to win a national championship.
Courtney Turpin's second-inning grand slam was all the offense that Anderson County would need as the Lady Bearcats defeated visiting Shelby County, 6-1, on Thursday evening.
With the bases loaded, the count at 3-2 and two out, Turpin drove Haleigh LeCompte's offering over the left field fence powering Anderson to the early lead in the 30th District seeding race. "It was a good pitch," Turpin said. "She came inside and I had to get my hands out in front."
Travis Gay knows how most people perceive track and field.
"I read a survey last year that said that 30 percent of track athletes come out to keep in shape for another sport," the Anderson County track coach says. "Thirty percent come out because they have been cut from another sport."
Gay, who played football and basketball at Floyd Central High School near New Albany, Ind., then went on to become an all-conference tackle at Campbellsville University, could only smile at the irony.
The Anderson County High School baseball an softball teams completed a bit of a sweep Tuesday afternoon against visiting Nelson County.
The Bearcat baseball team pounded the ball throughout the lineup as it pummeled Nelson, 10-0. Jordan Alves led the Anderson attack with three hits, including his first career home run. Left-handers Kyle DeLong and Daniel Goodlett combined for a 4-hit shutout.

The main players in the PC weekly game charts retained their spots during the week of July 9-15, with World of Warcraft, Cars: Radiator Springs Adventure, and The Sims 2 again coming in first, second, and third place, respectively. This is the fourth straight week that Blizzard's massively multiplayer online role-playing game has claimed the top spot, with THQ's adaptation of the latest Pixar film right on its bumper.
While the top trio stood firm, there was more turnover in the chart's supporting characters. First-person shooters Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Star Wars: Battlefront II fell out of the top 10. They were replaced by another FPS--2K Games' Prey debuted at number five--and the virtual vet game Paws & Claws Pet Vet at number nine.
THQ's Titan Quest and NCsoft's Guild Wars factions both lost a little ground this week, with the mythological role-playing game sliding to the seventh spot and the subscription-free MMORPG clinging to the final spot in the top 10. The biggest gainer in the top 10 this week was 2K Games' role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which jumped from eight to four.

Eminem firm loses iTunes royalty lawsuit against Universal
Universal Music has prevailed in a case that would have otherwise given millions more to artists for the sale of their songs on digital download services such as Apple's industry-leading iTunes Store.The Detroit production company involved in Eminem's early albums had previously filed suit against Universal Music, seeking more royalties on songs sold online versus traditional CD sales.
However, a Los Angeles jury late last week sided with Universal's arguments, agreeing that a song sold online is no different from a song bought in a store.
"We are pleased with the jury's verdict," said Universal spokesman Peter Lofrumento.
Bloomberg News reported FBT Productions, which signed Eminem before he came to prominence, was seeking $1.47 million in damages.
An FBT victory could have dramatically changed the pecking order for proceeds from digital downloads, such as Apple's dominant iTunes Store.
The jury's decision means record labels will continue to control most of the revenues from album sales. Artists and production companies have called for more proceeds from the online music marketplace as the record labels' overhead is much lower since companies like Apple are responsible for the marketing, management, delivery, and so on.
The production company had argued their contract entitles them to more proceeds for songs sold online. It reasoned that the tracks the label provides to services like iTunes and Amazon are music "masters", used for reproducing endless digital copies. FBT, owned by brothers Mark and Jeff Bass, said their contract entitles them to higher royalties on music "master" sales, but the jury did not agree.
Eminem was not a party to the suit, although he would have earned much more in unpaid royalties had the jury sided with FBT. Lawyers for FBT said they will appeal the jury's ruling.
The brother-owned company did prevail on a separate claim involving underpaid royalties, netting a minor victory. Universal was ordered to pay $159,000.

This title in other editionsPalladian Days: Finding a New Life in a Venetian Country Houseby Sally Gable
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:What Sally Gable thought she wanted was a summer house in New Hampshire. What she found and learned to love was a new life in a beautiful and celebrated Palladian villa in the countryside outside Venice. In Palladian Days, she takes us with her on a journey of discovery and transformation as she and her husband, Carl, become the bemused owners of Villa Cornaro, built in 1552 by the great Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio called by Town & Country one of the ten most influential buildings in the world.
Sally Gable writes lovingly of the villa as she and Carl settle in and slowly uncover its history, the lives of its former inhabitants, and its architectural pleasures. She tells of her early days there, learning to speak Italian with the help of her engaging new neighbors in the tiny town that surrounds the villa, Piombino Dese, a place both traditional and busily modern with its old-fashioned street markets and its burgeoning economy. She writes with beguiling humor about learning to take care of a Renaissance palace with its 104 frescoes and 44 pairs of shutters (all of which have to be opened and closed daily). She tells of baffling encounters with the soprintendente di belle arti, who must give permission for even the smallest repair to the Italian national treasure Sally and Carl call home. And she describes the life she and her husband create for the villa itself, allowing it to be used for concerts, ballet performances, even as a movie set. In Palladian Days, we enter with Sally and Carl into their engrossing adventure, following along as they are woven ever more deeply into the fabric of small-town Italy and into its larger national history. Their story will delight travelers and would-be travelers; all who are fascinated by architecture, by art, by the powerful essence of place—and, especially, house-dreamers everywhere. Review:"Eighteen of the innovative 16th-century villas by Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio survive today in Italy's Veneto region, and one of them, Villa Cornaro, made it onto Town & Country's list of the world's 10 most important buildings. The sixth family to occupy this country house during its 450-year history, the Gables reside there for half the year (she's on the boards of various educational and musical organizations; he's a lawyer and author of a book on Venetian glass). Sally Gable portrays the villa, the people who live in the surrounding countryside and their fading traditions, which 'may be in their last generation.' In fluid prose, she recalls the 1987 — 1988 negotiations that led to the couple's purchase, the previous inhabitants and her research into the history of the palatial house, its 104 frescoes and Palladio himself. Surmounting swarming bees and the usual maintenance problems, the Gables brought grandeur back to the villa, eventually receiving house guests and film crews, hosting dinner parties and staging cultural events. This delightful mix of memoir, travel guide and recipes is, in essence, a twist on these well-worn genres — a very chic, expensive twist at that. Photos. Agent, Kitty Benedict. (July 1)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Durant girl, 12, talks about shooting home intruder
According to the 911 recording, the intruder was inside the house for about six minutes while Kendra was told by the dispatcher to stay on the phone and keep it on speaker.
"The bathroom light switch makes a noise when you turn it on and Kendra heard it," St. Clair said.
As Kendra saw the door knob turn slowly, she fired the gun, her mother said.
Jones was hit in the chest, Undersheriff Ken Golden said.
Jones ran out of the house and was chased down by Bryan County officers, he said.
He was taken by helicopter to a Plano, Texas, hospital to be treated before he was taken into custody, Golden said.
When the dispatcher told Kendra to lay the gun down after she shot it, she didn't want to because she heard more people in the house, her mother said. The dispatcher assured her the police were there.
"When she got out of the closet she ran to the officer and squeezed him, and he hugged her back," St. Clair said.
St. Clair said she doesn't know whether the intruder wanted to steal something or was after her daughter.
"I was told by the police that he had been homeless for 10 days and that he might have been looking for food," she said. "I would hate it if I knew he was watching her.
"I am just first so thankful to God that he was keeping an eye out for her," St. Clair said.

Despite not being a dispassionate reviewer, I wrote this review of Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine. In case you didn't know, I'm not entirely without positive bias. And even with high expectations, the book really impressed. It seems to be doing quite well without my recommendation, but I would like to add my recommendation to the many that are out there. Hope you like the review.
With only eleven abstaining and 143 in favor, it's great to see the anglophone settler solidarity against indigenous rights, isn't it? Thanks guys.
-------- UN General Assembly backs indigenous peoples' rights Thu Sep 13, 5:07 PM
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The UN General Assembly on Thursday adopted a non-binding declaration upholding the human, land and resources rights of the world's 370 million indigenous people, brushing off opposition from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
Probably my last entry in the psychology stream for a while, though there are a few more things on education I'd like to read. I was drawn to Suzette Haden Elgin's verbal self-defense because I like the idea that conversations between people can be analyzed and understood somehow, even bad ones, especially bad ones. John Gottman takes this type of analysis to another level.
It's odd that I'm in the middle of a psychology reading binge, given my professional interest in climate and the current horrific climate chaos that has millions of people displaced in Asia, people dying from record high temperatures in Europe, and your run-of-the-mill 38 degree celsius here in Toronto. But I won't spare you my random thoughts on this reading on that account.
So, rather than getting into Alice Miller right away I decided to deal with Alfie Kohn today. I started with his book, "Punished by Rewards", which discusses why rewards (grades, gold stars, salary bonuses or any other kind of bribes) are not good things - not in workplaces, not in families, and not in schools. Why? Five reasons, Alfie says:
1. Rewards are the flip side of punishment - we agree that we don't like punishment, but rewards are just as controlling.
So, today as promised a little discussion of James Ron's book, "Frontiers and Ghettos". The book is a comparison of state violence by Serbia in the 1990s and Israel in the 1980s. His argument is that the institutional context (whether the area is a 'frontier', where state authority is less intense or disputed, or a 'ghetto', where states have uncontested and intense control over people's lives, what he calls 'infrastructural control') has an influence over the intensity of violence states wield.
I've been reading a fair bit that isn't directly relevant to current events or the kind of politics that I am usually involved in - namely, psychology and alternative education stuff. One important author I want to talk about a bit here is Alice Miller. Another is Alfie Kohn. I've done a few waves of this sort of reading. I find it really depends on the timing, how insightful or useful I find the stuff. Anyway I think Miller and Kohn both deserve more in-depth reviews.
So, my relationship to the world continues to be one that doesn't seem to involve much blogging, or much writing, these days. Still, I thought I would check in after watching Michael Moore's very very good movie, Sicko. I actually thought it was superb. Funny, rich, important, heart-rending.
Why I was gone for most of June. First I was at the Z Media Institute, which was a really great experience this year, one I was very proud to be part of and which was really rejuvenating. I taught on International Solidarity, Middle East Politics, and Race/Culture Vision (polyculturalism). But I also got to hear Ezequiel Adamovsky on politics and ethics, who I always find to be very original, and Cynthia Peters, who is working on very original and interesting things in the "kinship sphere", Marie Trigona on video production.
Since I haven't really followed her work over the past few years, I was a bit annoyed when I heard she had "quit". Who is she to "quit", and to do so so publicly, I wondered? War, empire, are filthy, despicable, genocidal affairs. Opposing them is not like a job that one can "quit", is it? Opposing them, in my view, doesn't even mean one is deserving of special praise. But then I read her exit note, and found it some of the best and most refreshing reading I have seen in some time.

MSNBC Tweets That Conservatives Will Hate Bi-Racial Family on Cheerios Super Bowl Ad
Liberals have nothing but hate in their souls… if they have souls, that is. This story is yet one more example of this truism. Take for proof a Tweet on the official MSNBC Twitter account that claimed that conservatives will hate the new Cheerios Super Bowl ad because it features a bi-racial family.
Here is a screen shot of the Tweet:
A screen shot was necessary because MSNBC deleted the Tweet later in the evening. A Tweet explaining the deletion said, "We are deleting the earlier offensive tweet. It does not reflect msnbc's position and we apologize."
Yeah, Riiiight. Sure it doesn't.
MSNBC still got pounded on Twitter and on the web, though. It was so bad that almost three hours after the original, offensive Tweet, the same MSNBC account tweeted out an apology saying, "Earlier, this account tweeted an offensive line about the new Cheerios ad. We deeply regret it. It does not reflect the position of msnbc."
Sorry, MSNBC but your apology is not accepted. Oh, we're sure you are sorry because even some of your fans thought your hate was way over the top. We're sure you're sorry you got caught revealing what you really think. But the simple fact of the matter is, this isn't just "a" Tweet. It is the revelation of the inner feelings of every single employee of MSNBC.
Further, it is indicative of the black heart sitting dead still and un-beating in the chests of every last denizen of the Old Media establishment.
MSNBC did not just toss off a bad joke. It revealed the hate infesting its soul.
Remember, this is the same network that made days of coverage out of ridiculing Mitt Romney because one of his children adopted an African American baby.
Now, imagine if Fox News or a website like HotAir or The Daily Caller, Glenn Beck, or any of the many conservative think tanks and activist groups had put out a Tweet this hateful. It would be the subject of a firestorm of media coverage that would destroy institutions, ruin lives, and end careers.
But that MSNBC did it, well, the media will ignore the story.
Now, I am not talking about single individuals, here. This Tweet was not the work of "some guy" on a blog. It was the official social media account of an entire network, not just "some guy."
But it will be ignored, regardless. Why? Because every last employee in the Old Media establishment agrees with the hate in the original Tweet. They hate you with the last breath, America.
This Tweet is just another example.

The Office of Management and Budget is eying a 10-year-old set of cybersecurity guidelines for revision, according to Federal News Radio.
Three former employees offered to make recommendations regarding a potential revision to Circular A-130, and especially Appendix III, which covers cybersecurity, writes Jason Miller. They are Karen Evans, the former OMB administrator for e-government and IT; Dan Chenok, a former branch chief with OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs; and Frank Reeder, who held several positions with the agency. The former employees learned that OMB was considering making changes, Chenok told FCW.
"It was our view that a lot could be done using existing authorities," Reeder said during a presentation Thursday at the Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board meeting at the National Institute of Standards and Technology headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md., quoted in Miller's article "We've been engaged in conversations with a number of folks inside the executive branch, who have been very supportive of what we are doing, and they are certainly interested in what we have to say as it supports the work that is already underway at OMB to revise the circular."

Crosman Destroyer Pellet - 250 Count
Quality pellets!!
I love these for my gamo pt-85. The 7.9 grain fires fast and accurate. Found these pellets are a lot harder than your generic lead pellets adding to damage. I think 6.99 for 250 is a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Crosman Destroyers
I have tried a few different pellets the Daisy power pellets and the Crosman pellets. If you want to spend very little money on pellets and get the best quality on the market then Crosmans are the way to go! I use these pellets for hunting rabbits and squirrels from time to time and they work very well! I use these in my Crosman Vantage Air-Rifle and they are devastating! They punch right through boards about a half-inch to an inch thick boards with no problems. I had a Daisy Powerline pellet gun that show about 800 fps and used destroyers in it and dropped a groundhog from 20 yds with no problem. The have great expansion and great penetration! Buy these and you will love them! They are cheaper at other stores like the rhyme for ball-art but you will not enjoy the experience as much as you will when you take your trip to Dicks!!!

The best pellet out there
The Crosman Destroyer pellet is accurate and devastating on impact. Cuts perfect holes in paper targets. Fast and Deadly high speed airgun ammo. The pellets are consistently high quality with no burrs or irregular shapes. Head and shoulders better than Gamo pellets - no comparison.
April 5, 2012
Keep in mind.
I use these in my Gamo Bigcat 1250. They are very accurate in my gun, but keep in mind that what is accurate in one gun, may not be in others. I went through 6 different pellets before I found ones that worked. Try the destroyers. They are [$] a can. If they don't work well in your gun, you're not wasting big bucks.

awesome Pellets
December 2, 2011
Great Damage
I have been trying different pellets the to with the most damage is the Beeman crow magnums, and the Destroyers. They destroyers do alot of damage in the 22 caliber shot a red squirrel from 45 yards dropped it and it didn't even move.. Great pellets not very accurate make the first shot count
November 6, 2011

i love these pellets i use to shoot the dasiy pointed pellets and they would shoot in differnt directions each time and when i used the destroyers i hit the same hole each time and their great for squirrels and long range shots

The Honda Civic Hybrid is a variation of the Honda Civic with a hybrid electric powertrain. Honda introduced the Civic Hybrid in Japan in December 2001. In the United States, it was the first hybrid automobile to be certified as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) from the California Air Resources Board.
The Civic Hybrid uses an Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system similar to that of the Honda Insight. Early models from 2001 to 2005 used a 5-speed manual transmission, whereas later models feature a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Civic Hybrid was only marketed in sedan configurations until 2013, when Honda introduced a hatchback version.
In February 2009, Honda reported that since 2001 they had sold more than 255,000 Civic Hybrids, including more than 190,000 units sold in North America.[1] For a time, the Civic Hybrid was the second-best-selling hybrid electric car in the U.S.[2]

The Civic hybrid, based on the seventh generation Civic, was first introduced to the Japanese market in December 2001. Honda claimed it was the most fuel efficient 5-passenger gasoline-powered production vehicle in the world at the time.[3] It was introduced to the U.S. in spring 2002 as a 2003 model. It is the first hybrid vehicle to be certified as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero- Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) from California's Air Resources Board.[4]
The first generation of the Honda Civic Hybrid was based on the seventh generation Honda Civic. It was the first mainstream vehicle from Honda equipped with a gasoline-electric hybrid system and became the second hybrid model of the company after Insight. Model with manual transmission was rated city 46 mpg-US (5.1 L/100 km; 55 mpg-imp) / highway 51 mpg-US (4.6 L/100 km; 61 mpg-imp) according to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel mileage estimates,[5] about the same combined mileage as for the Toyota Prius, and became the most fuel-efficient five-passenger sedan ever sold in North America at the time.[6]
The following is a list of its technical features[7] [8]
An electric motor is sandwiched between the gasoline engine and the transmission, providing up to 13 horsepower. The motor also acts as a generator, to recharge the car's nickel-metal hydride battery located between the rear seat and the trunk, and as a starter motor.
The motor in Civic hybrid is about a quarter-inch (6.4 mm) thicker than that of the Insight. Through improvements to the magnetic coils of the DC brushless motor, it achieves 30 percent greater assisting and regenerative torque than the previous model without increasing the size.
It generates more torque (46 versus 36 pound-feet) than the motor in Insight. The electricity is stored in a battery consisting of 120 1.2-volt Ni-MH D-cells wired in series. The battery can charge and discharge more rapidly and efficiently though the total capacity is reduced from the Insight's (6.0 versus 6.5 AH). Efficiency of the battery modules is increased, through a reduction in energy losses. The battery is housed with the electrical controller in a package called the Intelligent Power Unit (IPU). The new packaging reduces the size of the system by 50 percent and allowed to place the IMA equipment behind the rear seat in the trunk. The unit weighs only 63 lb (29 kg) and is one-third smaller than that of the Insight.
The two spark plugs in each cylinder can fire either sequentially or simultaneously, enabling more efficient burning during lean-burn mode and more often lean-burn operation. The engine can operate at a lean 22:1 air-to-fuel ratio more than 60 percent of the time on a flat road. The VTEC cylinder idling system of the engine closes the valves in three of the four cylinders when the car is decelerating, reduces the power lost to the engine by 50 percent and allows the IMA to extract more electrical energy during braking. The rocker arms operating the intake and exhaust valves have two modes: valve-lift mode or idle mode. They are engaged via a synchronizing piston. During deceleration, the synchro piston disengages the lift-mode rocker arm so that the valves remain at rest, effectively sealing off the cylinder.
An idle stop feature shuts off the engine automatically when stopped, then restarts immediately when the driver removes their foot from the brake. This auto idle stop system contributes to both greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions. During stop and go driving, the engine will turn off when the car comes to a stop for the first time, however, if the car does not go above 10 mph (16 km/h) and stops again, the engine will not turn off unless the car is stopped for more than 15 seconds.[10]
With assistance from the electric motor, the combined torque at below 3,700 rpm is greater than that available from the non-hybrid Civic's 1.7-liter engine.
Fuel efficiency further improved by six percent by utilizing: a new front air dam and rear spoiler, along with revised underbody panels, reducing the drag coefficient from 0.30 to 0.28; replacing traditional power steering with electrical power result as reduction in parasitic losses and special lower rolling resistance tires. The Dunlop tires improves ride quality and reduces road noise compared with other hybrids like Insight and Prius. When compared with Insight, a wider tire improves stability at highway speed. Car and Driver reported that the car can accelerate 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 10.9 seconds.
The Civic hybrid is estimated to be 40 percent more fuel efficient than its non-hybrid counterpart.[11]

The second generation Civic Hybrid is based on the eighth generation Civic. As with other Civics, there are some styling differences to the exterior between the North American and the Japanese market models.
The powertrain of the second generation Civic hybrid is similar to that of the first generation.
The following is a list of major changes:
By using high-performance magnets and high-density windings, Honda is able to increase the power output of the electric motor by 50% to 20 hp (15 kW) at 2,000 rpm when compared with the first generation. The inverter that controls motor speed is integrated with the motor's ECU for more precise control, resulting in greater efficiency and fuel economy. The output of battery is increased by around 30 percent to 158.4 V. The battery storage box is designed for better cooling performance and vibration resistance to enhance long-term reliability. The higher output of electric motor enables the car to run on electricity only, at a steady 15–20 mph (24–32 km/h) when cruising on a flat surface.
An internal electric motor is added to the air-conditioner, so it can be powered by either the engine, an electric motor, or both. At a stop, the compressor powered by the battery keeps the cabin cool. An additional compressor that is powered by the petrol engine also engages if rapid cooling is required. When the interior temperature is stable, air conditioning is provided by the battery solely. As soon as the brake pedal is lifted, the petrol engine comes back to life again.
The new three stage i-VTEC valvetrain has low-rpm, high-rpm and cylinder idle mode. High output valve timing help the engine to increase its output by 9 percent. During deceleration, the engine is kept idle. There are no combustion in all four cylinders and the cylinders are sealed shut, reducing pumping losses by engine. As a result, recovery of energy wasted during braking is improved by 10 percent.
A digital display is incorporated in the instrument dash showing how much electricity is sent to the battery or how much is used. When the car is braked moderately, maximum number of green LEDs light up showing energy recaptured. When the car is braked harder, the conventional brakes are activated.
Car and Driver found the car, when compared with previous generation, faster, offered greater refinement, quieter at highway speed, has a stiffer body and a revised suspension that handles bumps better and quietly.
It is estimated that, when compared to a gasoline engine only Civic sedan of 2006 with an automatic transmission, the Civic hybrid provides an increase of fuel economy in city driving of about 63 percent and an increase of fuel economy in highway driving of about 27 percent.The CVT transmission is designed to achieve the highest efficiency for a given RPM.[15]
A class-action lawsuit filed in 2012 alleged that Honda falsely advertised the fuel economy of the Civic Hybrid and that owners were getting significantly lower mileage.[16] The Los Angeles Times reported in May 2012 that at least 36 small-claims lawsuits had also been filed against Honda over alleged false advertisement of gas mileage.[17]
Some users reported that the fuel economy of the Civic Hybrid was reduced after Honda installed a software update to prolong the life of the hybrid battery by reducing the electric motor's output and putting more reliance on the gasoline engine.[18]
A Consumer Reports survey found a very high rate of battery failure in Civic Hybrids 2nd-generation Civic Hybrids, describing the failure rate for 2009-2010 models as "shocking", with over 30% of responders reporting they had needed a battery replacement within the last 12 months.[19] Honda acknowledged problems with the 2006-2008 models which could cause the batteries to "deteriorate and eventually fail";[17] software updates were issued to prolong the life of the battery, but some owners reported these updates led to reduced fuel economy and power.[18] The 132 NiMH cell pack suffers from imbalance as individual cells can't be monitored or charged. Monitoring is available at a 12 cell sub-pack level, but charging isn't. After years/miles of use, the cells become imbalanced as the cells charge/discharge at slightly different rates from one another. Eventually, strong cells are limiting the upper capacity of the pack and weak cells are limiting the lower capacity of the pack thereby reducing the usable capacity of the pack. There are higher capacity non-OEM packs available for less than the OEM price, and many owners have achieved years-long extensions of usable battery life by utilizing a grid charger. A grid charger is a home-made or purchased charger that connects your car to the power-grid. These devices impart a long, slow "balancing" charge where all cells are gently charged to their maximum capacity. This can temporarily restore balance an dramatically improve usable capacity for months at a time.
The Civic hybrid ranks as the second best selling electric hybrid car in the U.S.[2]
Consumer Reports ran an article in April 2006 stating that hybrid vehicles would not pay for themselves over 5 years of ownership. However, there was an error in the calculation of depreciation for the hybrid vehicles. It resulted in overstating how much extra money the hybrids would cost their owners during the first five years of ownership.[20] When corrected, the Honda Civic Hybrid did have a payback period of slightly less than 5 years.[21] In October 2010 Vincentric performed a hybrid cost of ownership analysis for USA market. In this analysis it compared hybrid's 5 year cost of ownership to their all-gas counterparts. The analysis showed that 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid costs an additional $1830 over a 2010 Honda Civic EX 2D Coupe with an Automatic Transmission (the report assume 15,000 miles are driven annually and fuel prices are based on a weighted average over the five months prior to October 2010).[22]
In August 2010, Autoblog reports that a replacement battery for Civic hybrid retails at $2,100.[23]
The Civic hybrid was introduced to Malaysia in August 2007.[24] It was launched in China in November 2007 and in India in June 2008.[25]
The Honda Civic Hybrid has competed in 24 Hours Nürburgring in 2007, with the car finishing 108th. The twenty-four hours race is held around the Nürburgring, one of the world's most grueling courses. To race successfully in that course is considered a testament to the capability of Civic's hybrid powertrain.[26] A Group N spec Honda Civic hybrid raced in the Jim Clark rally and took second in class.[27]

The latest Civic Hybrid was launched during 2011 in the U.S. and Canada as a 2012 model. It has a larger 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine that produces 90 horsepower and 97 pound-feet of torque[32] and a lithium-ion battery pack instead of nickel-metal hydride. The larger engine replaces the 1.3-L engine for better mid-range torque.[33] The DC brushless permanent magnet motor, which is placed between the engine and continuously variable transmission, provides 17 kW (23 hp) and 78 pound-feet of torque and weighs 0.7 kg (1.5 lb) less.[33] The 2012 Civic Hybrid has an EPA rating of 44 mpg-US (5.3 L/100 km; 53 mpg-imp) for the city and highway driving cycles, an improvement from 40 mpg-US (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg-imp) city and 43 mpg-US (5.5 L/100 km; 52 mpg-imp) highway for the previous generation.[34]
The Civic Hybrid has the latest Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) parallel hybrid system, with a new 20 kW lithium-ion battery — a first for a Honda hybrid vehicle.[33] The new battery is 5 kW more powerful, 9 kg (20 lb) lighter and takes up 36% less space.[33] Battery capacity is increased from 35 kAh to 100 kAh (4.5 Ah).[33]
It comes with improved aerodynamics and Honda ECO Assist technology.[35] The ECO Assist technology is an information system to help the driver adopt a more fuel-efficient driving style,[36] and is proven to improve fuel economy by about 10% for Honda's hybrid vehicles in Japan.[37]
Production of the Civic hybrid sedan was moved from Suzuka, Japan to Indiana, USA in early 2013, following the production of the Acura ILX hybrid commenced at Indiana plant in April 2012, after production capacity was expanded to 250,000.[38]

It is reported that over 50,000 Civic Hybrids were sold during 2007 worldwide.[40]
In January 2012, Heather Peters was awarded $9,867 by a Los Angeles Superior Court small-claims commissioner after alleging that her 2006 Civic Hybrid did not meet mileage claims advertised by the manufacturer.[41]
Honda won an appeal against this decision when a judge ruled that the vehicle's fuel-economy ratings complied with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's requirements, and that such ratings are for the purpose of comparison among vehicles.[42]
Consumers who purchased or leased a 2003 through 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid have until April 19, 2013 to claim a cash payment and Rebate Certificate from the class action lawsuit settlement. However, the Settlement Administrator has already begun to review claims and began mailing checks last month to those with validated claims. 40
In March 2012 Honda Canada issued a release pledging to honor the USA class action settlement with owners and lessees in Canada when it was finalized in the USA. To date there has been no follow up to parties concerned, but shortly after the Honda release a class action was launched in Quebec courts on behalf of Quebec and Canadian owners and lessees.(41)(42)

Sun Prairie police said no one was hurt early Thursday morning when a car crashed into a residential home.
The crash happened in the 800 block of Steven Street just after 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
Sgt. Brenda Dahlen of the Sun Prairie Police Department said that field sobriety tests showed the driver, Joseph A Kramer, 29, had not been drinking and said he hadn't fallen asleep.
At least two people were inside the home at the time of the crash, but neither was injured, according to police.
Police said Kramer was cited on suspicion of inattentive driving and failure to control his vehicle.

WISC-TV has learned the family of a 5-year-old alleged child abuse victim was blocked from donating his organs.
The Dane County District Attorney's Office confirms they filed a restraining order in the matter.
Dane County Medical Examiner's Director of Operations Barry Irmen said this is the first time in the state that this has happened, and that his office and the DA's office got a judge to block the organ donation to preserve evidence.
Five-year-old Brayden Turnbill died on Oct. 24 at UW Hospital after being taken from his home with head and chest injuries that investigators say were from child abuse.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office is alerting residents in the towns of Bristol and Sun Prairie of a recent string of thefts from vehicles.
Deputies have responded to 10 incidents between Oct. 21 and Monday, according to a release. In seven out of the 10 incidents, the thieves broke a window to gain entry.
Eight occurred in the town of Bristol, officials said. In most cases purses, wallets, electronics and cash were taken.
Officials are asking citizens in northeast Dane County to be aware of neighborhood activity, and report anything that appears suspicious.
Deputies suggest keeping vehicles locked inside a garage when possible. They also encourage residents to keep outdoor lighting on throughout the night to help deter thieves.
The state is still offering no comments on how or if county child protective services departments may have been involved with a family before the death of a 5-year-old.
Family members have told WISC-TV that Child Protective Services may have been involved with the family of 5-year-old Brayden Turnbill in more than one county.
Turnbill was taken from the Sun Prairie home he was living in to a hospital a week ago with injuries from alleged child abuse, and he later died of those injuries. His mother's boyfriend is now the named suspect in the homicide by Sun Prairie police.
Sun Prairie police are asking for the public's help in locating a vehicle that was stolen during an armed home invasion Tuesday morning.
Police said three people entered a home on Eddington Drive around 10:50 a.m., displayed a handgun, and took an undisclosed amount of money from the residents that were home at the time.
The robbers left the home in a beige 2010 Toyota Sienna van with Wisconsin license plate P8888 that was also taken from the residents, according to a release. The man living in the home was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Officials ask anyone who sees the van to call 911 and not approach the vehicle as the people involved in the incident should be considered armed and dangerous.
Sun Prairie police said a 43-year-old suicidal man was detained after a short foot pursuit Wednesday night.
Police responded to a home in the 200 block of North Bristol Street at 12:10 p.m. to check the welfare of the man. Lt. Kevin Konopacki told News 3 they believe Douglas Crossen had a rifle and a handgun.
Crossen was taken to the police station to be evaluated by EMS after the incident ended around 6 p.m., officials said. He did not have any weapons on him when he came out of the house.
He was then arrested on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and intoxicated use of a firearm.
Police searched the home for evidence and weapons Wednesday night.
Dane County dispatch said an automated call to residents in the area was sent out asking anyone within a six-block radius to stay away from their homes and away from the area.
A sweep for people with outstanding family violence warrants yielded nine arrests, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
Wednesday's sweep was part of the 11th annual Family Violence Apprehension Detail spanning 20 states. Sixteen Dane County deputies worked in teams throughout the day making 94 attempts to locate those with outstanding warrants.
Deputies arrested the following people based on the warrants listed:

I doubt Moffat would come near this place. Does he even like Trek?
He originally wanted The Doctor to bash it during The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.
Not bash exactly, as I understood it. After Rose had informed Jack that the Doctor's name was "Mr. Spock", the line that was originally to follow her "Don't you ever get tired of 'Doctor'? Doctor who?!" was, "I'd rather have 'Doctor Who' than
Star Trek
!" Moffat then decided it was a silly joke. That hardly seems to be bashing it, though.
On topic, I had a thought about the Doctor, that perhaps he's been gradually erasing his own memory to avoid answering the First Question. We know that Moffat likes to play around with memory (the Silence, the Daleks forgetting the Doctor, Clara/Oswin's dying "...remember", the gag with the memory worm), and its validity. We know that "on the fields of Trenzalore...
where no living being can speak falsely or fail to answer
, a question will be asked"; if the Doctor's name is significant in a Rumplestiltskin-esque way, and will cause untold problems when revealed, perhaps the only way the Doctor can avoid revealing it is if
he himself doesn't know the answer
I'm betting that the gag with Strax and the memory worm and the Doctor seeming not to fully remember the Great Intelligence were pieces of foreshadowing. Like Strax, the Doctor could be using a memory worm or some other technique to gradually erase his early memories and not even know he's doing it. Of course, he'd eventually have to rediscover his identity - cue big 50th special in which the Doctor relearns who he is by revisiting his own past.
Perhaps Clara could be the key to his memories somehow.

Child-welfare system accepts anonymous referrals, agency head tells Phoenix inquiry
The child welfare system doesn't balk at calls from minors or people calling anonymously to report a concern about a child, the head of the Winnipeg agency in charge of intake told the inquiry into the death of Phoenix Sinclair this morning.
"We accept referrals from any caller," said Sandie Stoker, executive director of the All Nations Coordinated Response Network (ANCR). It is the child welfare system's first point of contact for people in the Winnipeg area.
The inquiry heard earlier from one witness who said she tried calling child-welfare officials about Phoenix but was rebuffed because the caller was a minor. Stoker, who was a front-line worker and supervisor before heading ANCR, said they've taken calls from children for as long as she can remember.
"We receive self-referrals from children calling us," said Stoker. "Children are often the best source of information and we know that."
Phoenix was four years old when Winnipeg CFS closed the file on her in March 2005 without seeing her. She had been in and out of care from the time she was born in 2000 until she was tortured and murdered by her mother Samantha Kematch and stepfather Karl Wesley McKay in the summer of 2005.
The provincial inquiry that began in September is trying to find out why her death wasn't discovered until 2006, what services her family did or didn't receive and what's been done or needs to be done to improve Manitoba's child welfare system. Since her death was investigated, the rules in Manitoba have changed so that children have to be seen before their file can be closed.
Stoker said it's been a long-standing policy to accept calls from anonymous sources of referral as well as children.
The inquiry heard earlier from a foster parent of a young woman who befriended Kematch and was worried Phoenix was being abused and locked in a bedroom. The grown foster child was distrustful of CFS and scared of Kematch and asked her foster mom, who works in child welfare, to make the call about Phoenix in March 2005. The foster mom testified earlier that she was livid because the worker she spoke to didn't initially want to hear third-party information but rather wanted information directly from the source.
"I forced the issue," the witness, identified only as Source of Referral No. 7, said earlier. "I told her that if anything happened to that child, I would hold her personally responsible."
