Three local athletes participated in the state track and field meet on Saturday. McClain's Tara Karnes and Kaylee Hurley, and Fairfield's Michael Mangus all competed at the highest level and two came away from the day with podium finishes.
Michael Magus' goal coming into the state meet was to be in the top two in the boys 3200-meter run. Mangus met his goal on Saturday morning with a second place finish with a time of 9:27.15, four seconds ahead of the third place finisher. Mangus missed the top spot by a mere five seconds with the winning time being a 9:22.85.
Tara Karnes placed ninth in the girls shot put with a throw of 38-02.27. The winner of the event threw a distance of 45-06.75.
Kaylee Hurley qualified for and competed in four events at the meet in the wheelchair division. The wheelchair division was added by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) as a sanctioned high school sport, and Saturday was only the second time these athletes have been able to compete in the state meet.
Hurley's best event came in the early afternoon when she raced against her competitors in the 400-meter dash. Not only did she come in second place in the race, she also broke last year's state record with a time of 1:17.20, only four seconds behind the first place finisher. The previous record for the event was 1:23.64. She also placed second in the girls shot put with a throwing distance of 14-07.50. Hurley came in third in her other two events. The first was the 800-meter race with a time of 2:56.02 and she also finished third in the 100 meters with a time of 23.78.

Ohio Connections Academy Achieves Annual Yearly Progress Goals for Second Consecutive Year
To: STATE EDITORS
Contact: Hinda Mitchell or Heidi May, both of Connections Academy, +1-614-224-0600
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Ohio Connections Academy (OCA), a statewide virtual public "e-school," has met No Child Left Behind reading, math and overall Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measures for the 2007-2008 school year. This marks the second consecutive year OCA has achieved AYP, and it is the only statewide e-school with at least 200 enrolled students to do so.
AYP is based on standardized test participation and performance by all categories of students in a school, from low-income students to children with disabilities. The 2007-2008 report from the Ohio Department of Education also includes a new value-added measure, calculated for grades 4-8 in reading and mathematics. Value-added measures the progress districts and schools have made with their students over time. OCA also met the expected gains on the value- added measure.
"This report reflects the dedication and hard work of our outstanding teachers and the commitment of Ohio Connections Academy's students and families," said Ray Lambert, OCA principal. "Our continued progress in meeting AYP two years in a row illustrates that our innovative uses of technology for learning, combined with personalized instruction and flexibility, can produce academic success over multiple years for our school's diverse student population."
Along with meeting its AYP and value-added goals, OCA continued to show steady progress on other aspects of the state's accountability system. The Ohio Department of Education's Performance Index Score reflects the proficiency on state tests of a school's students in grades 3-8 and 10; examining the Index Score over time shows the school's achievement trends. OCA's Performance Index Score has increased steadily over the last several years to 88.2 percent this year, a gain of about 2.3 percent from last year.
"This report acknowledges what our Board has recognized for years — that Ohio Connections Academy has built a team of highly qualified teachers to provide our students with an exceptional education," said Gene Schuster, president of OCA's board of directors. "While we are pleased to have met AYP for two consecutive years, our commitment to continued improvement is ongoing, and we are redoubling our efforts to enhance these indicators across all grade levels in the coming school year."
OCA has been operating in Ohio since 2003. OCA is a unique public charter school that combines the expertise and accountability of public education, the strong parental involvement of home schooling and the flexibility of technology-enhanced learning. The school currently serves approximately 1,200 Ohio students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Curiosity APXS 'Yellowknife Bay' Gale Crater 'Portage'
April 25, 2013
Elemental Compositions of 'Yellowknife Bay' Rocks Researchers have used the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument on the robotic arm of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity to determine elemental compositions of rock surfaces at several targets in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Gale Crater. This graphic presents results from APXS, with the comparisons simplified across diverse elements by dividing the amount of each element measured in the rocks by the amount of the same element in a local soil, called "Portage." Vein-rich rocks contain elevated abundances of sulfur and calcium. Other rock targets are remarkably uniform in composition and similar to the Portage soil, excepting high chlorine. Brushing by Curiosity's Dust Removal Tool reveals lower abundances of sulfur in the rock than in the dust coating that the brushing removed. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Guelph

Have you ever wished you were "more creative"?
Have you ever looked at a project and thought: I wish I could do that?
Maybe you are feeling you're not creative enough, talented enough, expert enough. Perhaps you think a new craft will take up a lot of time, space and money in your budget.
The air Embroidery Club is for you if you want to connect your hands with the desire you feel deep within you of expressing yourself in a crafty way. When you join the Club, you will give yourself the joy of seeing a beautiful image appear before your very eyes, made with your own hands. You will gain in self-confidence, ability and recognize the natural talent you have in you.
When you tap into your creativity and pick up a needle, you realize your talent was already there and embroidery is a fun and inexpensive way of expression.
Embroidery is for grannies, I hear many people saying.
I'm not good with crafts!
Embroidery is very expensive.
or This is too advanced for my abilities.
That's what I thought, too!
Until one day curiosity won me over and I tried my hand with needle and floss, instead of pen and paper.
With step-by-step instructions, clear images and diagrams, and special embroidery tutorials, you will complete your project sooner that you thought and feel proud of it.
You will realize your embroidery is the perfect companion while waiting for your appointment, it is inexpensive and very, very fun. You will learn how to create the art you want to have on your walls, with your own hands.
"[After completing a monthly project, I feel] Good. I enjoy the simple stitches, and find them most soothing to complete."
(Holly H., USA)
My name is Ana Isabel Ramos and I love that my initials spell "air". I feel this is no coincidence, because one of the first lessons I learnt while studying graphic design was that the white on a page was as important as what was printed.
No wonder this has influenced my sketchbooks and illustrations, and today it feeds my embroideries too. A few years ago I challenged my notion that embroidery was difficult and found in it a fantastic way to translate into fabric my passion for line drawing.
Today, what I want to share with you is the joy of making the art you want to hang on your walls; the feeling of satisfaction and pride when looking at it; and the fun of seeing an image growing in front of your eyes.
"My embroidery skills were close to zero. After completing an air Embroidery Club project, I feel fulfilled and proud of the finished embroidery."
(Cristina S., Portugal)
The air Embroidery Club is an online membership subscription club you can join for 6 or 12 months. This is how it works:
every first day of the month, you receive a fresh embroidery template in your email inbox
delivered on a pdf file, each template contains detailed step-by-step directions to take you from the beginning to the end of the project
with each template, you will have plenty of photographs to guide you
each template includes the story behind each embroidery
membership is payable via paypal or bank transfer (email me for details)
members have access to patterns 6-12 months before the general public
membership can be given as a gift (email me for details)
"Since joining the air Embroidery Club, I feel more inspired and curious, and am eager to try new embroidery techniques."
(Cristina S., Portugal)
"I love it when I finish an air Embroidery Club project. I'm happy to think of it as team work, combining creativity and skill. I like to imagine new projects with the finished embroidery: wall art, an embroidered quilt, embroidered blankets… So many ideas!"
(Guida Ramos, Portugal)
Cool, right? Join now to start making your first embroidery. In two weeks, your first art piece will be proudly hanging on your wall!
Six month membership: 25€* | Twelve month membership: 45€*
(*plus 23% Portuguese VAT)
These were the questions I had when I first started embroidering:
What supplies shall I use?
This is a fun one. Let me break it down for you:
fabric: after testing many different fabrics, I recommend a basic cotton that could be used as a bed sheet. In your local shop, touch the fabric and try to imagine if this could be used on your bed. If so, that's the right one. Go for a light color when starting out, so that the transferred embroidery template is visible.
hoop: a basic wooden, circular, 7in or 17cm in diameter hoop is ideal for these templates. They're not to large nor too small and all templates are designed to fit into it.
thread: I love DMC Cotton Perlé in size 8, but there are other fine brands in the market. Be sure to choose size 8.
needles: a pack of assorted needles is your best friend. To test the size, use a needle on your fabric and see if doesn't leave a hole. Now, insert the thread through the eye of the needle. Does it glide easily through it? You found the correct size!
marker: I love "Mark-B-Gone" pens because they are easily washable (do not expose marked fabric to sunlight or heat, as this will fix the ink on the fibre of your fabric, becoming unwashable). I know these pens may not be easily accessible, so I also recommend a fabric pencil, usually made of washable wax. Tailor's chalk may also be another option. Before I bought any of these, I used a soft pencil (3B and up) to transfer the image. Your fabric will need a thorough wash afterwards.

U.K. embraces 'age of austerity'
Thursday - 10/21/2010, 1:55pm EDT
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said his country is entering an "age of austerity." The Conservative-led coalition outlined a plan Wednesday that eliminates half a million government jobs, cuts welfare benefits and reduces $131 billion in other public spending by 2015, The Washington Post reports.
The average cuts to government departments will be 19% over the next four years, less than the 25 percent originally projected, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The U.K. is joining other large European countries -- including France, Germany and Spain -- that have reined in spending. President Obama has warned Europe against aggressive cuts for fear of returning to another recession. So far, Europe has ignored the warning, the Journal reports.
There's one area the U.K. has not cut -- funding to its special forces, which are "much-valued" by the American, according to The Economist. Overall, there will be "pain all around, but nothing fatal" to the U.K. military, Cameron said.
Lessons for the U.S.?
The U.S. may find some lessons in the U.K.'s embrace of austerity, according to a blog in the Economist, The U.K. spending cuts are only an announcement now, but with the left and right working together, the cuts are expected to pass the Parliament. Such legislative decisiveness is unlikely in the Congress, where there is "no incentive for Republicans to favour increased taxes or for Democrats to cut spending."
How Europe has tackled budget deficits also points to the importance of medium-range planning -- not just solutions for the short-term. For example, raising the retirement age won't have an immediate impact on the economy, but shows governments are trying to solve longer-term problems, according to the blog.

Mission Accomplished Mitt...
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
"When Mitt Romney is president, Iran will understand that there is a new sheriff in town and that his position is that the only thing worse than the U.S. using force would be for Iran to have nuclear weapons", according to Richard Williamson, a senior foreign policy adviser to the Republican presidential candidate.
thank you

Mission Accomplished Mitt...
Scary to see the amount of ignorant americans supporting this guy.
At least this man is agree that man needs a women and vice versa !! and by that shows that GOD is the creator of univers, obey the lowof Him.
Every time he opens his mouth I get scared. this is just what America needs - another war to bankrupt us. If Romney wins in November I'm going to need a safer place to live. He and his followers are just nuts!
theres no other way
NOW SUCH {A} prophet believer in profits knows: NEVER touch Jews.
so all you warmonger haters of the natives of the ME will just have to watch Obama for another 4 yrs
One of the things Barack Obama must have been telling Bush on a car on his way to inauguration: NOW I KNOW NEVER AGAIN anyone who doesn't have my skin color enters LA MAISON BLANCHÆ ever again: that must have made Bush CRY: becasue he knew that too was TRUE
We should ALL be afraid.
Bushes policies were no failure, Saddam is gone, Bin Laden is gone.
Now you know HOW BO is going to win his 2nd term: like all befor him won a 2nd term if they did: by doing nothing in a 1st term and creating even much more problem: as Romney can't even ant to inherit wh@at BO LEFT if he leaves: not as Romney can't challege him on all ISSUE.
is slower
it also affects their ability to make relevant comments
Willard Mitt must have noticed when George W Bush was able to funnel $hundreds of $billions in no-bid contracts to his buds by starting a war.
I am waiting for the estimate of the number of American lives he will lose before the drums for retreat will sound. Israel has , at least, the guts to estimate the Jewish lives that will be lost in the event it attacks Iran.
vote ought to run by John Kerry. He received more votes GW Bush. Anyone remember President Kerry?
the name of his Game, imagine waking up next to him! Besides that; any war talk gets most 18-24 year olds on board to come out and vote for him, for now he's ahead on that in the polls... So never confuse pre election statements with reality, it's all about racking up the numbers and which buttons to push to get there...
And he's the GOOD Sheriff Not the hollow vessel of a man in this article but someone who is literally GOOD SHERIFF and he destroys pyramids.
Oh, great---Obama will destroy the US, Romney the Middle East. Well, the Egyptians are learning the true meaning of democracy; you don't get to vote for the best person to lead your country; you get to vote for the lesser of 2 evils......
to finally show Israel a piece of the new prophets as we are the old Israelites!
Mitt Romney sure talks tought for a guy who deferred his military service to go bicycling in France, and live in a five bedroom house with a chef, housekeeper and houseboy.
LMAO! in his dreams!!!!
I have decided that I will be voting for Romney come November. I cannot support a moral coward (in Obama) who has stood silent as the massacres continue; and all in a hope to use it as a bargaining chip in his appeasement of the Islamic Republic. I am no Romney fan, but since Newt is out (I liked Newt) I will support Romney for national security purposes and human rights.
and voting Romney means you are not a moderate Democrat.
Massacres still occur in Libya despite the regime change Obama effected there by arming rebel groups and bombing civilian neighborhoods. Do you think he should do the same in Syria and let the country descend into complete chaos like Libya is doing at the moment or like Iraq has after a US invasion? If you like Newt Gingrich and are a "moderate Democrat", then all I can conclude is that there is no such thing as a "moderate Democrat."
call yourself an independent... VOTE ROMNEY! There's an old saying "If your not a liberal when your young, you have no heart, if your not a conservative when your old you have no brain.' obama sux.
There is no such thing as a "moderate" who likes Newt Gingrich and who supports killing to stop killing. People like that are called "idiots".
Obama has done better than even Bush, by finally getting Bin Laden, and other Al Qaida members. He is bringing our troops home, and has shown he can stand up to bullies. Aren't you being unrealistic and expecting miracles. You are fooling yourself if you think Romney will be better. Think George Bush when you vote for Romney, that is what you will be getting.
War with Iran was not possible, and the republicans know it better than any one, most of them are nationalist warlords. They do not have the legitimacy to sanction in Iran. Again if they come back the old deals get activated and they set back. Moreover international consensus over Iran's sanctions would break. In practice republicans have always served Iran and the worst damages have been inflicted by the democrats. If Obama goes for a short time there would be strong rhetoric, but then quickly things would set back to the condition of 2008 which was enough better than the current condition.
Iran already has enough 20% enriched Uranium for 4 nukes (just 1 is enough to wipe out Israel). Better high explosive now than nuclear warheads later. One can live with the former, but the land will be contaminated after the latter. Nip the Ayatollahs in the bud ! ATTACK NOW !
Iran already has already converted 33% of its 20% enriched uranium into fuel rods.
God help us.
another Republican warmonger and suck up to Israel.
obama is toast, be nice to ROMNEY our next President of The United States. Thanks to obama the emerod, Romney's looking more than good. Everything obama touches turns to shit.
God save the world, another one on Bush lines, Obama is doing best to save the world and the Americans from another disaster-economical to say the least. Thou art the selfish wolf tamed by Jewish billionaires, you should never be elected, both the Americans and the world pray. If you come&do what you say-Americans too may not survive to see nuclear WW3 being fought first time on US soil!
scandals in most all the alphabet agencies of the federal government? obama sux.
that is a fact Mitt took 4 deferrments during the Vietnam war and some of them were after he got out of college..... interesting that he wants to fight now......and by the way NONE of his big health strapping sons have serve in the armed forces in america...... but you israelis can buy his act if you choose to.....but this is guy who says one thing today....and something totally different, tomorrow
if a newly elected President Romney were to rush off to Israel to kiss Bibi's ring, it would turn most Americans off. Romney would secure his image as the tool of Jewish money. More Americans would see Israel in a disfavorable light.
ring....did ya?
Unless Israel allows me to vote in their elections and gives me access to their national health plan and other benefits of Israeli citizenship, I don't see why non Jewish Americans like myself should spill our blood and money fighting for Israel. Soory Israel. If you want America to fight your wars, then extend Israeli citizenship to all 300 million of us and then we can talk.
I think few believe that Romney is even more brainless than Romney. The other advantage of coming Romney is that the world consensus over Iran would break
Tired of every US Presidential candidate, particularly Republicans, pledging American money, lives, and support for foreigners we don't even have a treaty with.
The US will not be able to bully and manipulate the middle east anymore going forward.
Romney has no shame. He is nothing more then a puppett of Netanyahu and would kiss his backside if told to do so.
Don't worry with this guy. He is a joke. He doesn't understand anything about foreign affairs. Next year we are waiting for him in the gay parade - like a sheriff.
the american obsession with israeli interest does not benefit americans nor world.
war monger that will start ww3
And who is going to pay for this, in blood and money, Mitt? Your 1% friends??
His 1% crowd won't pay. They never do. But you can be sure they will make billions.
Bismarck also said "a state should only go to war when the national interest is at stake." With or without nukes, Iran is no threat to the US. Let's take it easy with the stupid tough talk.
Th AIPAC has issuedan order that must be obeyed otherwise Romney is finsihed with politics. Anti-Semites of the world: UNITE !
Israel controls America. Finally you are learning.
Indeed, reason enough NOT to elect him.
What Jew would vote for Romney? This is a man that was/is involved in the baptism to the Mormon faith of our dead parents, aunts and uncles. Many of them had their lives taken during the holocaust. Who would vote for a man who teamed up with others to beat a kid they thought was gay? I always wondered when Romney spoke of his participation and started to tear up it was when he thought everyone would find out that he held the kid down so that he was able to sodomized him.
Every day one us- soldier comits suicide these days.
Puppet as a Sheriff. Romney and the likes are puppets. Sometime in the future when the Iranian or the Arab lobby takes control of the foreign policies, these same puppets will direct their craziness toward Israel. Elect a man of honor and principle, Ron Paul! NOT war mongers, like Romney.
obviously israel not america is what he value.
Obama is a worse warmonger than Bush, and Romney aims to blacken America's warmongering record in alliance with Israel above any previous president. Only Ron Paul deserves to be elected.
Amazingly bad war monger...
We love to talk about about other states who use threatening rhetoric about attacking sovereign nations, but we are blind to our own actions that by any measure are threatening and roguish to say the least! I guess when you are convinced that you have the moral equivalency of Gog, you can't really see your hypocrisy!
Why not?? Look at the outrageous lies that Obama told to the whole Americn people to get elected. Look how he pandered to the Jewish vote especially for the money, and then didn't keep a single promise........However bad Romney might be, the alternative is much worse. A bad year for politicians.
Can someone please tell me where there is a west bank in Israel. Or do you mean Judea and Samaria, the names that area has been know for '000s of years?
OK, it is clear we can't afford to elect this guy!
Will this Sheriff be fair and do the same to israel? Or jewish nukes are holy cows?
Surviving on European pity and fed on US charity, Israel's nukes or Dimona are toys for USA. Americans can turn you into fumes in no time, they are already sitting at your neck right in Israel to prevent any misadventure by you demon.
Then it is your duty the to eat as many scorpions as you can in order to save the World...Pleeeese.
Unlike anywhere else in the world outside Israel, Jewish votes -specially in Florida and California- do count.
1. He said he will level threats against Iran. This is illegal according to the charter of the UN. 2. He said he will arm rebels, not only illegal, but arming al qaeda isnt really smart 3. He said he will visit Israel first. Why? What have Israel ever done to america? Or is he going there to thanks for the lobby, money and support?
and you say that America is breaking the charter? open your eyes Stu, Iran is the single most vocal nation breaking this "law" you speak of, but let us not forget the other arab nations whose dictatorships have sworn to defeat israel... they are falling, its time the one in Tehran falls too
all know israel pose a threat to the peace.
that a majority of these aides of Romney have a dual citizenship to israel?
How do you know this?
both iranian mullahs and the terrorists they fund will be quaking in their boots
Romney is as wise as G.W Bush.
And as an Arab American borne in Palestine in the city of Safad, voted for Obama who turn out to be very week and an Opportunist, He is weaken the U.S power to Russia and China. Also Romney views on supporting the free army of Syria is what any human with moral principal would do.. Obama has none,
you can NOT afford to vote for this guy!
Who exactly? The American people? No, thought not.
Your comment is briliant, shame hardly any gung ho Americans and israelis want to se it.
Romney is a bully and his college bullying haircut of a gay student speaks louder than words! If you can vote for him in the 21st century I know who you would have voted for if German in the thirties!
i repeat my opinion again. nuclear weapons should be solely under the control of the UN. where a majority vote is needed to use them. and it should be illegal for any country or entity outside the UN to own a nuke. this way, no one gets to bully the other with them. like america and israel and russia do all the time.
your theories sux, the UN can't blow it's own nose.
see how successful Cowboy mentality has been.

Just do not format. Type plain numbers without currencies,
39234 instead of 2007-06-12,
0.25 instead of 6:00 am,
This is too crazy-making. Is there any way to force all dates into a fixed format? I don't really care how Europeans use dates, but it seems like I have to be aware of date variants (to the extent of inputting "39234 instead of 2007-06-12").
Perhaps this would solve the associated problem of using date functions (which don't work unless you know what format Calc is expecting as input). Calc does not reveal what date format it's expecting, and I'm still not sure what "07/08/09" (example) represents. I'm unable to figure out date functions even after wrestling with Calc for several years.
What a mess!

Hi folks.
The locale issue is quite contentious, and I don't want to offend anyone, but I have a few comments and questions. My focus is the EN ZA (English South Africa) locale.
Who sets the locale defaults in the XML file? Can the information be traced back to a standards organisation (the SABS, in my case), or is it supplied by a "knowledgeable volunteer", from his/her own experience?
My reason is this: the thousands separator listed in the XML file (and in the localedata_en.dll file, obviously) is "," while several hundred thousand documents published here use " " as a thousands separator. There may be industries where the "," is used, but similarly, there are industries here with their own standard way of presenting data. For example: the financial industry uses " " exclusively, including the big four auditors, publishing thousands of financial statements annually, thousands of accountants, and SARS, our "inland revenue department".
With such a large base of (frustrated) users, is it possible to amend the default to " ", rather than ",", or at least publish a new "English South Africa - Finance" locale for these users (A very high percentage of OOo users, probably more than 50%, I'd guess)?
What is the accepted way of dealing with this problem. Surely other countries have multiple industry standards, if not multiple technical standards.
Another option would be for users like myself to choose an existing locale which conforms to our industry standard. Unfortunately, I have found none (after examining dozens), as the locales which use " " as a thousands separator tend to use "," as a decimal separator, while we use ".". Is there any quick table available showing the various locales and their defaults?
Hopefully I can resolve this issue without having to hack the localedata*.dll files, or compile a custom build. (I'm a noob at that).
Thank you for your time,

Post subject: Turning off Automatic calculations
Hi all,
Im very new to this and not as advanced as you all appear to be I need someone to explain really simply how I can switch automatic calculations off.
I want to write 11am it keeps coming up with 11:00:00.
I dont want it to automatically write 11:00am either because i understand how to get it to do that I just want it to simply say 11am.
I am so frustrated and sick of trying.
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks Darice

Short abstract
All Excelish spreadsheets of the past 2 decades behave more or less in the same way. If you can't handle this, then you must not use spreadsheets [I never get tired to recommend databases where you can enforce almost anything -- if your can].
0) Every cell has a number format locale. Number format locale "Default" falls back to the application wide locale in the language options. Most importantly, the locale context determines the decimal separator (comma or point) and if 12/1/1999 means 12th of January or December the 1st (US).
1) All your input is evaluated as some type of number within the locale context. The value is text if this evaluation fails.
2) With a leading = your input is evaluated as number. The result is some error value if the evaluation fails.
3a) A leading quote inhibits all evaluation. All input is literal text. Text "123" is not a number. It is a sequence of characters like "abc" is.
3b) Like any other formatting attribute (color, font, border,...) number format "@" (text) has absolutely no influence on existing data, BUT all new input will be treated as in 3a).
4) All your numbers will be shown in
one particular number format
, namely the number format you have applied. If you do not apply any number format (number format "General") then your input is shown in
one particular number format
too. The particular number format depends on the locale and the type of number you typed. There is
one particular number format
for integers and floating point numbers, one for percent input, one for date input, one for time input and for date+time input, there is one for your input of a scientific number and a one particular boolean number format showing TRUE and FALSE in the language of the cell's locale.
There is no way to modify these defaults.
One particular number format
is the key which makes your documents portable across language boundaries and office versions.
It is completely pointless to complain about this or that number format. Number formatting is not important at all as long as the values are the right ones.
Many confused beginners expect some auto-formatting which formats your numbers exactly like you typed them. This is not possible, not even desireable. You could hardly tell if your input has been taken as number or text.
Convert numbers to text and text to numbers:
[More Options]
[X]Regular expressions
[X]Current selection only
Search: .+ (dot and plus)
Replace: &
[Replace All]
This replaces every value with itself. If the cell is formatted as text, the input turns into text, any other number format turns the entry into a number.

Yeah, forced date formatting is annoying. More than the Orange.
As much as I can see, the problem is in formatting order. It is:
1. try in any case to make input a number
2. if not possible, make it text or something
The solution would be to stop forcing number formatting before date format and make it text. Date formatting apply only if cell formatted as date.
Any idea how to make it?

You may be able to change the overall number formatter in the source code. If you are clever enough, you won't break the affected parts of this integrated office suite.
Millions of spreadsheet users are able to use a spreadsheet as it used to be since decades.
Simply enter text if you mean text or use a database application to collect your data in a consitent manner.

If I enter a number as a fraction -- e.g., 24 1/2 instead of 24.5 -- it appears that it is treated as zero for computation. I'm new at this, so I'm treating every "different than Excel" behavior as notable, if not a bug.
Ok solved it.
The solution was: I had to set the value to "date" for a wider range of cells, basically applied it to the complete sheet apart from column A and row 1.
Also checked the "default language settings for documents" under tools-options-language settings-languages to English UK as discussed in the other thread. It could have helped though the other language setting were on "english UK" already.
Well it works now. Thanks for all support.

Dear all,
I have tried to find an answer to that question, but apparenlty I couldn't. So here is what I'm looking solution to.
I'm transforming a table from .PDF to .XLS and the numbers in the PDF are formated this way:
234,456 = two hundred thirty four thousand four hundred fifty six
when the .XLS is opened in OO the number is presented
234.456 - the comma was not interpeted as thousands separator but a decimal sign.
I have played with locale seetings but the only result is that it set either comma or a dot for decimal sign and the number is not recognised as the integer for "two hundred thirty four thousand four hundred fifty six". I would like to convert the number to 243,456.00 without having to rewrite every single number in the tables. Is that possible and how?

I think some wrong set up exists. Try typing the following
With English(UK) locale
[comma(,)=thousand, dot(.)=decimal, slash(/)=date, column( : )=hour]
12(dot)3 is recognised as a number 12decimal3-OK-
12(comma)3 is a STRING -OK-
12(comma)345 is the number 12345 –OK-
With Greek locale
[dot(.)=thousand, comma(,)=decimal, slash(/)=date, column( : )=hour]
12(comma)3 is recognised as a number 12decimal3 -OK-
12(dot)3 is the date 12/03/2012 -WRONG should be a STRING-
12(dot)345 is the number 12345 –OK-
With French (France) locale
[space( )=thousand, comma(,)=decimal, slash(/)=date, column( : )=hour]
12(comma)3 is recognised as a number 12decimal3 -OK-
12(dot)3 is the date 12/03/2012 -WRONG should be a STRING-
12(dot)345 is the date 01/12/345 -WRONG should be a STRING-
So, when dot(.) isn't the decimal separator, all entries with numbers and dot are incorrectly interpreted as date even if the date separator are different (slash or hyphen)
In those cases number with dot should be interpreted as STRING.
Said that, I really don't know how to correct this.

Rhino to Elephant Poaching Prompts Namibia to Deploy Army Unit
July 4 (Bloomberg) -- Namibia has deployed soldiers to combat the threat posed by poachers to elephants and the world's largest population of black rhino in national parks that stretch along the country's borders with Angola and Botswana.
Poachers have killed 10 elephants and 10 black rhinos this year in parks in Kavango, Zambezi and Kunene, Environment and Tourism Minister Uahekua Herunga said in a telephone interview from the capital Windhoek today. The southern African nation has as many as 25,000 elephants, said Herunga, who declined to disclose rhino numbers for security reasons.
"We have created a permanent unit made up of the army and all security services solely dedicated to anti-poaching," Herunga said. "The unit will be in place forever, or until poaching has been drastically reduced."
The unit will patrol Namibia's porous northern and eastern borders, said Herunga, who wants closer cooperation with Angola and Botswana to tackle global poaching syndicates that have infiltrated the region. About 8 percent of the continent's estimated 470,000 elephants are poached every year, according to African Wildlife Foundation. Elephant ivory can be sold for as much as $1,000 a kilogram in Hong Kong.
Between 1970 and 1992, about 96 percent of black rhino in Africa was lost to poachers with a global population of 4,800 remaining, according to the WWF. Black rhinos are native to Africa as are bigger white rhinos.
Namibia has a population of 1,750 black rhinos and 469 white rhinos, according to Savetherhino.org.
Local Trackers
The syndicates "entice locals familiar with the territory to track down elephants and rhino in remote areas," Herunga said. "We know that there is an increase in demand in Asia and the price is very high."
Neighboring South Africa reported the first case of elephant poaching in the Kruger National Park in more than 10 years in May. About 300 white rhinos were poached in South Africa this year compared with a record 1,004 for all of 2013. Most of the animals were killed in the eastern Kruger National Park, where poachers slip across the 350-kilometer (217-mile) border with Mozambique.
Rhino horns are smuggled to east Asia where they can fetch as much as $95,000 per kilogram and are believed to cure cancer and improve a person's libido.

The train song is a separate and illustrious genre of Hindi film music. So many songs have been shot in and around the railway tracks. Let's pick the best of the lot.
Chaiyyan chaiyyan in Mani Ratnam's Dil Se: Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora jiving on top of a roofless train. A R Rahman's composition incorporated the rhythms of a moving train with neat dexterous beats that made the heart pound. Khan and Arora did quite a balancing act on that speeding train.
Hum donon do premi in Shakti Samanta's Ajnabee: When Rajesh Khanna elopes with Zeenat Aman the occasion was perfect for a train song. And what a nifty number R D Burman came up with! Interestingly all the musicians of the Hindi film industry went on a lightening strike when the song was recorded. Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar sang the song without instrumental support.
Dhanno ki aankhon mein in Gulzar's Kitaab: R D Burman didn't just compose this eclectic electronic pop-goes-the-train song, he also sang it. The number was filmed on the train driver played by character-actor Ram Mohan. The song immortalized the little-known actor.
Zindagi ke safar mein guzar jaate hain jo maqaam in Aap Ki Kasam: That haunting resonant raga of a broken heart as Rajesh Khanna journeyed with his guilt-stricken conscience from one unknown destination to another....Anand Bakshi's lyrics described the train journey as a metaphor life.
Gadi Bula rahi hai seetee bajaa rahi hai in Dost: The signature from Dulal Guha's Dost nailed it . This is the one train song that most significantly defines the romance of locomotive.
Rail gadi rail gadi chuk chuk in Aashirwaad: Basant Desai composed Ashok Kumar sang what has over the decades become the most beloved train song of all times. Ironically the song is not shot on a train but in a children's park .One of the kids dancing to the song is Baby Sarika. Now a 60-year oold with two daughters Shruti and Akshara Haasan.
Mere sapnon ki rani in Aradhana: Iss gaane ke peeche hai kahaani. When Rajesh Khanna ,on a jeep ,serenaded Sharmila Tagore in a train, a superstar was born. But due to a non –availability of her dates Sharmila's portions were shot in a studio.So that 'train' is actually a cardboard compartment.Such are the illusions that define the magic of celluloid. Officially composed by Sachin Dev Burman the songs allure including the harmonica creating the sound of train's movements, was designed by Sachinda's enterprising son R D Burman.
Chalte chalte yuhi koi mil gaya ttha in Pakeezah: The way the sounds of a distant train were incorporated into the song to signify the woman's tragic desolation makes this the single-most poetic song woven around a train journey. Kaifi Azmi wrote the haunting words.

Speed index
Speed index (sometimes Speed rating) is a system of rating the performance of Quarter Horse racehorses. The American Quarter Horse Association (or the AQHA) has used two systems over the history of Quarter Horse racing to evaluate racing performances. The original system used a letter grade, starting at D, then C, B, A and the highest AA. Later AAA was tacked on the top, and later still AAAT (for TOP AAA) was made the top speed. Eventually, this system became too cumbersome, and a new system was introduced: the Speed Index system, which used a number system, with 100 being roughly equivalent to the old AAAT. This change occurred in 1969.[1]
The actual calculation of the speed index starts with taking the three fastest winning times at a particular distance for the past three years at a given track. These times are averaged together, which is then the 100 speed index for that distance at that track. If the average doesn't meet the minimum standard time given by the AQHA for that distance, then the minimum standard time is used instead of the specific track average. To calculate a specific speed index for a specific horse in a specific race, the time the horse finished in is compared to the averaged speed for the distance the race was, and points are added or subtracted based on whether the time was faster or slower than the average. The number of points subtracted or added varies according to the distance of the race, and is based on a chart put out by the AQHA.[2]
The AQHA's award Race Register of Merit is awarded to any horse that achieves a Speed Index of 80 or higher during an approved AQHA race.[3]

Digoxin Dosing in Heart Failure: A Simplified Nomogram Versus Standard Care
Dosing methods for digoxin, a drug used to treat heart failure, have not been updated in decades despite evidence in recent years suggesting that blood levels of digoxin achieved with traditional dosing practices may increase the risk of adverse events. We developed a simple dosing tool that targets lower blood levels of digoxin that have been associated with improved outcomes compared to higher blood levels. The aim of this study is to determine if this simplified dosing tool is more effective than standard digoxin dosing practices at achieving lower blood levels and also to determine if digoxin dosing may be further optimized by incorporating patients' genetic information believed to influence the drug's properties.
Digoxin is recommended as adjunctive therapy in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and symptoms of heart failure despite treatment with standard therapy. Recently, the therapeutic range for digoxin in patients with heart failure has been redefined to a narrower therapeutic window (0.5 - 0.9 ng/ml) because lower serum levels in this range have been associated with improved survival whereas higher serum levels have been associated with increased mortality. However, dosing methods have not been updated to reflect the newly defined therapeutic range for digoxin. We developed a simplified dosing nomogram for digoxin in patients with heart failure designed to achieve serum digoxin concentrations (SDC) within the new therapeutic range using retrospective data. The long-term goal of this study is to prospectively validate the ability of our digoxin dosing nomogram to achieve desired SDC and provide clinicians a simplified tool to optimize digoxin dosing in patients with heart failure. Because digoxin is a substrate of the efflux pump p-glycoprotein (pGP) and genetic polymorphisms of the MDR1 gene (known to regulate pGP expression) have demonstrated conflicting results on the pharmacokinetic profile of digoxin, we will also characterize the influence MDR1 functional gene variants may have on digoxin dosing. This study will include a total of 170 subjects with symptomatic heart failure treated with digoxin, comparing steady-state SDC in a prospective group of patients dosed according to our nomogram to a historical control group in whom the dose of digoxin was derived from standard dosing practices. We will also conduct an analysis of genetic polymorphisms of the MDR1 gene known to affect digoxin pharmacokinetics. The primary objectives of the study are to compare the percentage of patients in each group achieving steady-state SDC within the desired range of 0.5 - 0.9 ng/ml, characterize the relationship between genetic variability in the MDR1 gene and digoxin dosing, and to update our digoxin dosing nomogram to account for the clinical and genetic variability shown to have the greatest influence on digoxin dosing. The rationale for this study is that lower doses of digoxin are recommended because lower SDC are associated with improved survival. Therefore, digoxin dosing methods must be updated to reflect these recommendations and account for genetic variability of the MDR1 gene in an effort to improve clinical outcomes and minimize the potential for adverse events. To address these issues, the specific aims of this research are:
Aim 1: Compare steady-state SDC observed using our dosing nomogram to those obtained using standard dosing practices.
Aim 2: Characterize the relationship of the genetic variability of the MDR1 gene and SDC observed using our digoxin dosing nomogram.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
A semisynthetic digitalis glycoside with the general properties of DIGOXIN but more rapid onset of action. Its cardiotonic action is prolonged by its demethylation to DIGOXIN in the liver. It has been used in the treatment of congestive heart failure (HEART FAILURE).
A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p666)
Alpha- or beta-acetyl derivatives of DIGOXIN or lanatoside C from Digitalis lanata. They are better absorbed and longer acting than digoxin and are used in congestive heart failure.
Heart Failure
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
