[Identification of item], James T. Sears Papers, David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University
The James T. Sears Papers were received by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library as a gift from 1996-2012. Additions are expected.
Processed by Christian Ferney, Ted Holt, Paula Jeannet Mangiafico, Daniel Ruccia, Michael Shumate, and Elizabeth Terry, 2007-2008.
Materials may not have been ordered and described beyond their original condition.
Accessions described in this finding aid: 96-130, 97-034, 97-0183, 1998-0204, 2000-0151, 2004-0047, 2007-0006, 2007-0059, 2007-0097, 2008-0025, and 2012-0002.
The James T. Sears Papers span the dates 1918-2008, with the bulk of the material covering the period between 1950 and 2004, and are arranged in the following series: Audiovisual Material; Other Activities; Personal Papers; Photographic Material; Professional Papers; the largest series, Research and Writings; Jack Nichols Papers Series; and Oversize Material, which contains chiefly newspapers and other large-format serials. The Research and Writings series, the largest in the collection, is divided into subseries for each of Sears' major works; in addition, there are other large subseries for Sears' other writings and editorial work, research files, and a small set of writings by other individuals.
The collection documents the career and life of a gay rights activist, educator, and author who has performed ground-breaking research on gay, lesbian, and bisexual culture in the United States, and the teaching of human sexuality in the classroom. The evolution and publication of Sears' major book-length works, articles, and other editorial work is fully documented in this collection in the form of drafts, correspondence, recorded and transcribed oral histories, many research files, and a wide variety of images and recordings. Sears' professional papers contain teaching and course materials as well as files on publicity, speeches, and other activities. Sears also worked as a journal and book editor, thus the collection houses various iterations of authors' accepted work along with Sears' line edits and final publications. Many electronic files accompanied the research, writing, and teaching files; these have been archived on the library's server. An extensive collection of audiovisual materials includes videos, sound recordings, and other media either assembled through Sears' research and teaching activities, or acquired from other sources (note: original recordings are closed to use; unless otherwise noted, listening or viewing copies must be made for research access).
The collection also houses the personal papers of Hal Call (1917-2000) and Jack Nichols (1938-2005), authors and early activists for gay rights. These two large sub-collections contain writings, correspondence, research files, diaries, audiovisual material (separated and removed to the Audiovisual Series), and photographs.
Taken as a whole, the James T. Sears Papers offer a rich source of primary documents and information on gay, lesbian, and bisexual culture in the United States, especially in the South, and its representation in literature and in the press, both positive and negative. The collection also provides extensive documentation on the history of the gay rights movement in the U.S. and abroad, including the evolution of organizations such as the Mattachine Society and related gay movement publications; sexuality studies in the U.S. and teaching sexuality in primary and secondary classrooms; gays in the military; drag queen, lesbian, and bisexual communities; and many other topics relevant to sexual identity in society. The collection also include anthropological field notes of Sears' extensive research and travels in the Philippines related to sexualities and sex education.
Consent forms signed by individuals whose interviews or images were recorded for possible use in publications are sometimes filed with other records relevant to that publication; oftentimes, however, permissions may have been filed in the Research Permissions Subseries box in the Research and Writings Series, or have not been located in the collection. Researchers wishing to publish information on individuals represented in the Sears Papers must have in hand the consent forms, or obtain permission from the individuals.

Drafts and Proofs folders contain layouts, publisher proofs, and copy edits; also included in this grouping are proofs of Sears' introductory chapter,
Drafts of essay, possibly unpublished, on Running Water communal gathering, the Faery movement, and Lambe's life and role. Material later appears in
Edited by Sears. Arranged into groups of correspondence, editorial files, rejected abstracts, publicity, and routine administrative files. Correspondence includes letters written to authors and publishers at Teachers College Press. Abstracts, drafts, correspondence, and proofs by various authors are found in the editorial files. Administrative files include promotional statements, abstract reviews, and calls for papers.
Edited by Sears and J. Dan Marshall; reprinted in 2001. Files house correspondence, editorial files, reviews, and routine administrative files. Correspondence includes exchanges with Teachers College Press and prospective authors. Editorial files only include those abstracts and drafts that Sears accepted for publication. Reviews are organized by number; all other folders are organized alphabetically.
Arranged in three groups: correspondence, drafts and proofs, and publicity. Files relate to 2000 and 2002 editions of this anthology. Correspondence consists of exchanges between some of the authors (Louise Allen, James Sears, J. Dan Marshall, Patrick Roberts, and William A. Schubert) and the publishers. Loose drafts and publisher revisions are often included with this correspondence. The Drafts and Proofs grouping houses copy edits, drafts, layouts, and manuscripts.
Six-year study Edited by Sears and other authors, focusing on the Bridenthal Internship in Teaching program at Central College, Iowa, later known as the Breckenridge (BIT). Other materials on BIT are located in the Professional Papers Series, Teaching Subseries.
Materials covering a wide variety of research topics of interest to Sears, including homosexuality in the United States before 1950, the history of gays in the military, a study on new generations of gays, and international gay movements. Other boxes contain general research materials on gays in the South which informed multiple works by Sears. The individual states of Alabama and Florida have their own boxes of research materials, while materials from Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington D.C. are housed as a group. Formats in the Research Files Subseries are varied, and can include print materials such as clippings, flyers, newsletters, and serial issues; field notes and other research materials; correspondence; photographs and other types of illustrations; and recorded oral histories and interviews. In addition to correspondence and materials deriving from Sears' research, there are significant amounts of primary materials from original sources, especially correspondence and a few diaries. More detailed descriptions follow below.
Research files contain clippings, articles, writings by others, flyers, organizations' records, and notes on homosexuality and the gay rights movement in Alabama, with emphasis on Birmingham, AIDS, gay movement organizations, and institutional reactions to the increasingly visible and active gay movement. Also includes a set of essays (1995-1997) written by Patrick Cather for the
Research materials concerning three individuals interviewed by Sears: Jeri Farrar of Lewiston, Maine, Julian "Jerry" Hayes of South Carolina, and Perry Schwartz of South Carolina. Formats include interviews on cassettes (removed to the Audiovisual Series), photographs, many folders of correspondence, memoirs, and a diary.
The undated Farrar memoir covers the years 1932-circa 1945 and narrates events in the life of Farrar, her close friend and musical collaborator Rena Estabrooks, Farrar's mother Edna, and various friends, male and female; there are references to World War II and social conditions of the times, and detailed descriptions of nightclub circuits and the entertainment business in New York and New Jersey. It was probably written in the 1980s or 1990s.
The Hayes materials offer a detailed look into the life of a gay man growing up in rural North Carolina who "came out" in college and became part of the early gay community in Charleston, South Carolina during the 1940s. Materials include a diary kept in Jerry Hayes' teen years (typed transcription), a brief memoir by Hayes, interviews conducted in 1999, and paper prints of digitized photographs that date from circa 1920-1940.
The Schwartz materials cover the life events of a gay man from Birmingham, Alabama, who also became a Charleston resident; the bulk of this material consists of photocopies of hundreds of pieces of correspondence, numbered and arranged in chronological order, from Schwartz to family members and friends during his military service, 1936-1946. Includes interviews on cassettes conducted in 1998. A few folders contain early printed matter from 1957-1966, including a pamphlet on the psychology of homosexuality, and a "gay girl's guide."
Finally, another set of files corresponds to research Sears conducted on early criminal cases linked with homosexual behavior, and personal histories of lesbians in the Northeast during the early 20th centuries (Laura Beam, Harriet Hosmer, Ellen Day Hale), and contain resource listings from the Schlesinger Library at Harvard and some photocopied primary material from several archival institutions, including Duke University.

JeffreyWay saidyes they have nice products, ive bought them all so far
Hey all—
I wanted to send a shout-out to a recent CodeCanyon author, WebFactory. He/they are doing a tremendous job so far. In little over a month, they already have around a dozen items for sale. Thanks to excellent branding, submission consistency, and item quality, WebFactory will be in a very comfortable position this time next year!
Do you actually use most of the items you buy, or just keep them around as an ever-growing collection?
It's awesome +10
Would this be plugins that are mostly widget oriented, such as a plugin that adds extra WP widgets?
Outstanding job!
Cool. Go for it.
Looks like an interesting idea, though I'm not sure of its application. Can you give an example where something like this would be used?
1. Sub-Category.
2. I think yes, though I feel you should have to give the author permission to do so. Or select an option that says "This item can be added on to."
Are you referring to Lawley's Styles with Shortcodes plugin?
If so, I'd say go for it! Lawley is a great developer and I know the dev provides excellent support if you have trouble.
There are also several great iOS apps for sales notifications, if you have an iPod touch or iPhone.

By Laura M. LeveringAugust 27, 2010
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Tina Robbings spends about as much time in other people's offices as some do in their own. The difference is that they are getting paid, and she is not.
Robbings donates time to several organizations. Army Family Team Building, Army Family Action Plan, and her husband's family readiness group are just a few programs that benefit from Robbings' talents. All of them are important to her, but the one she considers most meaningful is Survivor Outreach Services.
"SOS is near and dear to my heart," Robbings said.
SOS provides long-term support to survivors of military casualties. The program's mission is to "embrace and reassure survivors that they are continually linked to the Army family through a unified support program that enables them to remain an important part of the Army family for as long as they desire," said Luann Brooks, SOS program coordinator for Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Robbings met Brooks while taking a volunteer training course earlier this year. During that meeting, Brooks voiced a need for help with putting together a Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. Robbings' experiences as a surviving friend led her to step up and fill the need, making it the successful program it is today. She also serves as a TAPS peer mentor. As a peer mentor, Robbings is paired with someone in a situation similar to her own.
"There's no counseling involved because there's no counseling degree required," Robbings said. "It's just talking with the survivor and being an ear to listen whenever they need."
It is a step towards healing and letting survivors know they are not alone. Robbings' partner lost a husband, and although the two have different stories about their losses, being a mentor helps Robbings deal with the pain of losing a friend two years ago.
"It brings back a lot of memories, and through that, I'm able to help (my partner) with what she's feeling and going through," Robbings said. "Just having someone else who understands or relate is really important."
Robbings has invested more than 1,100 hours of her time in volunteering since moving to JBLM with her husband and children in July 2009. Five hundred of those hours were poured into SOS.
"We're blessed," she said. "I'm just not one to sit home and do nothing. I don't mind giving back."
Robbings' boys, ages 13 and 14, are also active volunteers. Her eldest was awarded volunteer youth of the year at their previous duty station, and her youngest was right behind him. She hopes that her service opens their eyes to the value in volunteering.
"I really want them to understand that it's not every man for himself, but that we really should get out there and help our neighbors," she said. "I don't think they see the benefits quite as much as I do, but they get the fact that they should give back to their community."
As the wife of a lieutenant colonel who has been around the Army 20-plus years, Robbings knows the success of an organization largely depends on its volunteers. In an economy where even the military has been forced to cut jobs, volunteers are more important than ever.
"It's amazing what the Army has given to spouses and all of the wonderful opportunities that are out there," Robbings said. "But at some point, people have to step up and take responsibility or say, 'Hey, I'm going to help out.'"
It was that very phrase that helped turn the tables for SOS.
"Without (Robbings), the SOS program at Joint Base Lewis-McChord might not exist," Brooks said. "It definitely would not be as successful as it is."
Robbings realizes that volunteering with SOS is not for everyone. A background in psychology and personal experiences have helped her cope with unexpected phone calls and visits.
"Every time you're in that office, you don't know who's going to walk in or call," she said. "You have to be ready to deal with a meltdown."
The important thing, she said, is making time to help someone.
"Everyone can find an hour here or there, even if it's during your lunch break," Robbings said. "There are plenty of places that need your help."
Laura M. Levering is a reporter with Joint Base Lewis-McChord's weekly newspaper, the Northwest Guardian.

- Completely updated Q5 model series
- New engine-transmission pairings are up to 15 percent more efficient
- Audi connect services set new benchmark for infotainment
Sporty, spacious, comfortable and multifunctional – the Audi Q5 has a versatile and successful character. Now the mid-class SUV is even more attractive, efficient and sporty – adding many new solutions in design, infotainment, chassis and engines. The Q5 hybrid quattro, the brand's first production hybrid model, unites the power of a V6 with the fuel economy of a four cylinder.
Audi is launching its updated Q5 with five engine options: three TDI and two TFSI engines. All of these engines combine direct fuel injection with charging, and a start-stop system is standard in all versions. Although most of the engines have enhanced performance, their fuel consumption values were reduced by up to 15 percent.
The most efficient Q5 series engine is the 2.0 TDI; Audi offers it in two versions. In the version with 105 kW (143 hp) and 320 Nm (236.02 lb-ft) of torque, the four-cylinder engine in combination with manual transmission and front-wheel drive has an average fuel consumption of 5.3 liters of diesel per 100 km (44.38 US mpg) – and a CO2 equivalent of 139 grams per km (223.70 g/mile). The 75 liter (19.81 US gallon) fuel tank enables driving ranges of up to 1,400 km (870 miles).
The Audi Q5 with 130 kW (177 hp) and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque (with S tronic and quattro drive) has a fuel consumption value of 6.0 liters per 100 km (39.20 US mpg). The 3.0 TDI delivers 180 kW (245 hp) and 580 Nm (427.79 lb-ft) of torque. The V6 diesel – which appears in a new, advanced design and is always paired with a seven-speed S tronic and quattro drive system – accelerates the Q5 from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 225 km/h (139.81 mph). Its combined fuel consumption is just 6.4 liters of fuel per 100 km (36.75 US mpg).
The gasoline engines of the updated Audi Q5 also feature state-of-the-art technology. A highlight of the TFSI engine line-up is the new two-liter, four-cylinder engine that has numerous innovations such as in the control of valves and their stroke, innovative thermal management, the fuel injection system, turbocharger and integration of the exhaust manifold in the cylinder head.
The new 2.0 TFSI outputs 165 kW (225 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft). Its fuel consumption (with a manual transmission) is 7.6 liters per 100 km (30.95 US mpg). Producing even more power is the new 3.0 TFSI – the three-liter V6 with supercharging, which replaces the 3.2-liter engine. This engine outputs 200 kW (272 hp) of power and 400 Nm (295.02 lb-ft) of torque. Key performance data: zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.9 seconds, top speed 234 km/h (145.40 mph), combined fuel consumption of 8.5 liters per 100 km (27.67 US mpg).
Each of the engines in the updated Q5 has an optimal transmission system. The four-cylinder engine operates with a manual six-speed transmission as standard equipment. The highly convenient eight-speed tiptronic is available as an option for the 2.0 TFSI with 165 kW (225 hp); it is standard in the 3.0 TFSI. The sporty seven-speed S tronic, on the other hand, is standard in the 3.0 TDI and available as an option in the 2.0 TDI with 130 kW (177 hp).
The transmissions are integrated in the innovative thermal management system of the four-cylinder versions, a system that significantly shortens the warm-up phase after a cold start. All transmissions have wide gear spreads – the long gear ratios in the upper gears reduce fuel consumption, while the short gear ratios of the lower gears improve dynamic performance in highway driving.
The quattro permanent all-wheel drive system is standard with all but one engine – only the 2.0 TDI with 105 kW (143 hp) has front-wheel drive. Normally, the center differential distributes engine power to the rear and front axle at a ratio of 60:40, but it can redistribute the power at lightning speed when necessary. The torque vectoring system finishes its job with finely tuned brake interventions.
The chassis of the Audi Q5 – with its five-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension – adds new refinement and comfort in the characteristics of the springs, shock absorbers and stabilizers. The new electromechanical power steering system gives the driver a better feel for the road with direct gearing. The system – which adjusts its power assist to vehicle speed – does not consume any energy in straight-line driving, reducing fuel consumption by about 0.2 liters per 100 km.
The Q5 has 17-inch aluminum wheels and size 235/65 tires (18-inch wheels from 165 kW [225 hp]). Audi and quattro GmbH can deliver wheels with up to 20-inch diagonals and tires up to 255/45. Customers who are particularly focused on sports performance can order the S line sport suspension. The electromechanical parking brake may be supplemented with the optional Audi hold assist, and the standard downhill assist function controls vehicle speed on steep descents. Electronic stabilization control (ESC) adapts its interventions to characteristics of the road surface.
Another high-end feature in the Audi Q5 is the Audi drive select system. It lets the driver vary the characteristic of the accelerator pedal, the shift points of the automatic transmission, amount of power steering assist and operation of the automatic air conditioning system via four modes, including an efficiency mode. When an Audi navigation system is ordered, a fifth mode is added that is largely user-programmable.
In addition, three optional components may be integrated in Audi drive select. They are adaptive cruise control, chassis with damping control and dynamic steering, in which the steering gear ratio is modified as a function of vehicle speed via a harmonic drive system. At performance limits in driving through curves, it compensates for understeer and oversteer by intervening with slight steering pulses.
The Audi Q5 also performs very well on rugged terrain. Its maximum climbing angle is 31 degrees. The vehicle's approach and departure angles are each 25 degrees, while its ramp angle is 17 degrees. The vehicle's ground clearance measures 20 centimeters (7.87 inches).
Exterior styling
The Audi Q5 is progressive and sporty, spacious and functional. Its styling, with a coupe-like roof line and wrap-around tailgate, visualizes all of these properties – and it is now acquiring distinctive new traits. The interior design of the headlights has been modified; the LED daytime running lights of the optional xenon plus units are shaped as curved bands that surround the headlights. Audi also offers the optional adaptive light with dynamic cornering light and static turning light.
The horizontal lines of the high-performance SUV's front end are emphasized more strongly. The high-gloss black Singleframe grille has beveled upper edges; its vertical chrome struts and the Audi rings have a sculpted look. The modified bumpers integrate air inlets with high-gloss black inserts and fog lights with chrome rings.
When xenon plus headlights are ordered, the tail lights are also designed with a layout of visually uniform LED light bands. The diffuser insert and the tailpipes that taper at the bottom have been redesigned – in two versions, depending on the engine. Roof rails and crossbars are standard equipment.
There is a range of 15 colors, including four new colors. As options, Audi can deliver an S line exterior package or an offroad styling package; both give the Q5 a unique look with their design details and the colors of add-on parts.
The updated SUV is 4.63 meters (15.19 feet) long, 1.90 meters (6.23 feet) wide and 1.65 meters (5.41 feet) tall. Its drag coefficient is 0.33 and its frontal area is 2.65 m2 (28.52 square feet); the curb weight of the base version is 1,755 kg (3,869.11 lb).
The engine hood and trunk lid consist of aluminum, while a large share of the car's structural elements integrate ultra-high-strength steels; they reduce weight and improve crash safety. The high-performance SUV's interior has a solid and highly comfortable look. Audi received the "Euro Car Body Award" for the Q5 body – the most prestigious award in car design.
The interior of the Audi Q5 has made additional strides in refined styling. Many of the user controls have narrow chrome trim; the steering column control stalks, ignition key and instruments were given subtle modifications. The narrow panels of the center console are high-gloss black. All steering wheel versions, including versions with shift paddles, reflect the new Q-specific styling.
The ergonomics have also been fine-tuned. The central media component, MMI navigation plus, now has four buttons, and its volume dial has an additional skip function. Other refinements have been made to the controls for the seat heating, the new highly efficient air conditioning system, the Audi drive select system and the multifunction steering wheel.
Extras worthy of special mention are the convenience key, three-zone automatic air conditioning system and climate-controlled comfort seats with a ventilation function. The panoramic glass roof also creates a pleasant atmosphere in the interior.
An uncompromisingly high quality of workmanship is a matter of pride at Audi. Selections of materials, colors and upholstery fabrics have been updated – three new interior colors, three fabric and three leather qualities and a total of 35 different combinations offer plenty of latitude when it comes to customization.
Large fabric-upholstered surfaces are standard on the door trim panels; inlay options include three wood veneers and one aluminum version.
The S line sport package offers a black interior; sport seats and elegant trim components make it even more elegant. The package is completed by 19-inch wheels with 235/55 tires, a sport suspension and the exclusive exterior color Daytona Grey, pearl effect. The design packages, Audi exclusive program and Audi exclusive line offer other exclusive choices.
The Audi Q5 is a car with outstanding practical talents when it comes to recreational and family activities. It offers ample interior space with a long wheelbase of 2.81 meters (9.22 feet). The seatback angles can be adjusted on the rear seats. When these seats are folded – which is very easy using the remote seatback unlatching feature – the cargo capacity increases from 540 to 1,560 liters (19.07 to 55.09 cubic feet).
Audi offers an optional rail system for the cargo space, an electric drive for the tailgate, folding front passenger seatback and rear seating system with ten centimeters (3.94 inches) of longitudinal adjustment together with cargo pass-through feature. The Audi Q5 is also a powerful towing vehicle with up to 2.4 metric tons of trailer load, depending on the engine and hill incline.
Driver assistance systems
In the updated Q5, the driving is relaxed and carefree – in part due to the highly developed assistance systems from Audi. The driver information system with rest recommendation is a standard feature. If the system detects that the driver's attentiveness is waning – based on steering wheel movements and other parameters – it recommends that the driver take a break from driving.
Assuming a central role among the optional assistance systems is adaptive cruise control. The radar-based cruise control system controls the distance to the car ahead in traffic; at speeds under 30 km/h (18.64 mph) it can initiate hard braking if it detects an impending collision. Audi active lane assist can support the driver with small steering interventions to stay on track in a lane. Audi side assist monitors the space behind the Q5 to support the driver in changing lanes.
Infotainment systems and Audi connect
Audi offers a broad selection of infotainment systems in the updated Q5. Positioned at the top: the Bang & Olufsen sound system and MMI navigation plus with a large hard drive, seven-inch color monitor, 3D graphics and DVD player. Many system details have been improved, e.g. voice control and the optional digital radio reception. The system is a standard feature in the Q5 hybrid quattro, together with the Audi sound system and color driver information system.
The Bluetooth car phone online perfectly complements MMI navigation plus. Its integrated WLAN hotspot lets passengers surf the Internet and email with their mobile devices. For the driver, it brings customized Audi connect online services into the car, such as Google Point of Interest search by voice control, navigation with Google Earth images and Google Street View. Audi traffic information online, a service of Audi connect, offers the driver up-to-the-minute information about traffic on the selected route.
Another new feature is the smartphone app Audi music stream. Q5 drivers can use it to receive more than 5,000 Internet radio stations, and they can save their favorites to their cell phones. The selected program accesses MMI navigation plus via WLAN, and its audio signal is output over the audio system loudspeakers. Web radio is also controlled from the vehicle's user terminal.
Audi Q5 hybrid quattro
The Q5 hybrid quattro, the first hybrid model from Audi, is designed as a highly efficient parallel hybrid. Propulsive power is supplied by a 2.0 TFSI with 155 kW (211 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 lb-ft) of torque as well as an electric motor with a peak output of 40 kW (54 hp) and peak torque of 210 Nm (154.89 lb-ft). Together, the two power sources can briefly output a system power of 180 kW (245 hp) and a system torque of 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft).
The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 7.1 seconds and can reach a top speed of 225 km/h (139.81 mph). In pure electric mode, it can cover up to three kilometers (1.86 miles) at a constant speed of 60 km/h (37.28 mph). In this mode, its top speed is 100 km/h (62.14 mph), while its combined fuel consumption is just 6.9 liters per 100 km (34.09 US mpg).
A highly modified eight-speed tiptronic transmission transfers engine power to the drivetrain without requiring a torque converter; its mounting space is taken by the electric motor, which is combined with a multi-plate clutch. The clutch engages and disengages the electric motor and the TFSI. A compact and lightweight lithium-ion battery system with 1.3 kWh energy capacity stores electrical energy. A complex air cooling system maintains battery temperatures within a suitable window.
The driver switches between the three driving modes with a button and with the tiptronic gear selection lever. The EV characteristic map prioritizes the electric drive, while the D mode efficiently controls both the internal combustion engine and electric motor. The S mode and the manual shift gate of the tiptronic are configured for a sporty style of driving.
Within these constraints, the hybrid control module chooses the best operating mode at any given time. The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro can be driven with just the TFSI, just the electric drive or in hybrid mode. It can also recover energy during deceleration, or it can boost output for powerful acceleration when both drives work together.
Outside, the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro can be recognized by its fully painted bumpers and by the hybrid-specific ten-arm turbine design of its wheels. 19-inch wheels are standard; 20-inch wheels are optional. Inside, special instruments display the hybrid's operating state – such as the powermeter, which replaces the tachometer.
Despite extensive vehicle upgrading and the addition of new features, the price of the Audi Q5 has barely risen for customers. For example, the 2.0 TDI with 130 kW (177 hp) costs just 150 euros more than the previous model with 125 kW (170 hp); its base price is 39,900 euros. The high-performance SUV will arrive at dealers later this summer.

Investigating Step 3:
Writing a working thesis statement
All the time and effort you put into researching is wasted unless you can focus on what you need. How do you do that? By establishing a working thesis statement. Plan to revise it several times as you learn more about your topic.
A working thesis statement helps you concentrate on what you want and ignore information that is irrelevant. Consider the following working thesis statement.
Using this statement for a paper allows you to skip over the sources:
- that do not deal with profiling.
- that do not deal with the apprehension of serial killers.
- that deal only with the injustices of "racial profiling."
A good working thesis statement saves you time and keeps you focused.

Athens (AFP) April 30, 2013
Four parties have expressed interest in the controversial sale of 51% of Thessaloniki's water company EYATH, including French company Suez and a citizens' collective, Greece's news agency said on Tuesday.
Greek privatisation agency HRADF announced that the first phase of the tender had been completed and that the four candidates will be evaluated, without revealing their identities.
The sell-off of EYATH, scheduled to be completed this year, is part of a long list of privatisations demanded by Greece's European Union and International Monetary Fund creditors.
The Greek state currently owns 74 percent of the shares of EYATH, the country's second-largest water company.
According to the state-run Athens News Agency, EYATH has attracted the interest of a consortium comprising France's Suez Environment and Greek company Ellaktor, owned by Greek public works and media baron George Bobolas.
Another consortium including Israel's Mekorot water company as well as Greek-Russian businessman Ivan Savvidis, who in 2012 purchased Greek football club Paok, have shown interest.
The so-called Movement 136, an activist collective opposing the company's privatisation, has also made a bid.
The collective proposes management through cooperatives operating at the neighbourhood level.
The Thessaloniki municipal council meanwhile has called for a referendum on the company's privatisation, which it also opposes.

Meet The New Face Of Maybelline, Pink-Haired Fashion Favorite Charlotte Free
To all those who have hopped on the pink hair fad with a high-fashion wink, it's quite possible that you have Charlotte Free to thank for that. The model best recognized for her rose-hued tresses appeared on the scene last summer after being discovered by a photographer at a local arcade, and she's become pretty damn close to ubiquitous since then. Charlotte is an interesting case — in an industry of models who are stunning in their beauty but lacking in a sense of individuality, something to separate them from the pack, she's an unapologetic neon renegade. Designers like Richard Chai, Jeremy Scott, and Chanel took note and cast Free, pink hair, abbreviated height, and all. Despite being only five foot seven (and just eighteen) it's undeniable that the modeling world has work itself into a tizzy over the California native. I like Charlotte best editorially: her unique face and hipster leanings, not to mention her impossible-to-ignore hair, translate better to print than to the catwalk, where the emphasis is almost always on homogeneity.
It was only a matter of time, then, before a massive brand took note of both her popularity and her insta-recognizability and offered the fresh face a serious beauty contract. It's a gig that veteran models would sell their souls to score, and who else landed it but the pretty, petite new girl? Maybelline has adopted Free as the new face of the brand, and the announcement is making ripples in the water of the fashion world. See: this video, in which P'trique (who you might recognize from "Shit Fashion Girls Say") just can't keep a chicret. It's worth watching for the blink-and-you'll-miss-them industry cameos… and P'trique herself. Congratulations, Charlotte, this is totes maj! [Lucky]
