There is growing feeling among players, coaches and fans that Gabon's work on its pitches for this Afcon has not been up to scratch.
Although not every single injury at the tournament can be ascribed to the hard surfaces, a growing number of players have succumbed. In the Burkina Faso game with Gabon on Wednesday, four players got crocked after landing awkwardly, including star man Jonathan Pitroipa who was subbed very early on for Prejuce Nakoulma.
Jonathan Zongo, another key Stallion, is also out of the Afcon and needs around seven months of treatment for cruciate ligament damage in his knee, while Gabon' fullback Johann Obiang also left in the first half.
Egypt's Sherif Ekramy pulled a hamstring at the weekend, while two DR Congo players had to be subbed against Morocco, including goalscorer Kabananga. Ghana's Baba Rahman is out of the tournament after getting injured against Uganda and will be treated in Germany.
"Yes, after our tests in Libreville, we saw that Baba Rahman's injury was due to the pitch," the Black Stars team medic Dr. Baba Adam told supersport.com.
Egypt head coach Hector Cuper blamed the surfaces for his side's disjointed play against Mali on Tuesday. "The pitch was awful, but temperature and humidity too played a key role," he said.
"The pitches are sandy and make ball control difficult. Even worse, it makes our thighs very heavy during games. It's very frustrating," one player lamented to Pulse, while Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan chose to be diplomatic about it.
"Well, no disrespect to the Accra Stadium [in Ghana], but if you can play there you can play anywhere!" he said.
For a country which had time to put this tournament together, and has also hosted an Afcon just five years ago, the comments do not paint a good picture.
Managing Director of Green Grass Technology (GGT), a pitch development solutions firm, is emphatic in his assessment of the structures in Ghana.
"Watching the games from afar, the knee joint,ankle and hamstring injuries can be as a cause of the nature of the pitch," Frank Boahene tells Radio VISA.
Boahene, who has been the main man behind all the major stadia pitches in Ghana, had a bit of advise. "The new pitches seems not to be well developed,so during games the deep rotted grass comes out from the ground. I will advise the pitch managers to water the pitches few minutes to kickoff and at half time 15 minutes interval to make sure the pitch is safe for footballers and also players should watch the kind of football boots they wear."
In the meantime, fans would hope the stars of the Afcon don't get robbed off their time in the limelight due to the surfaces.

Reno and Marceau in Cinderella
Marc Esposito is to bring together two huge French talents for a French interpretation of the classic story of Cinderella.
The adaptation will be called Cendrillon and star Melanie Laurent as Cinderella and Catherine Jacob as her wicked aunt, Jean Reno will play the King and Sophie Marceau the fairy godmother.
Melanie Laurent was awarded this year's Cesar award for Most Promising Female Newcomer.
The film is slated for 2008 and has a healthy budget of €23 million - that's US $36.2 million - and so we could expect something rather good, particularly with Jean Reno and Sophie Marceau on board.
I wonder if they will be updating the story at all or just going straight for a classic story, The Hollywood Reporter doesn't say, but a modernised version could prove interesting.

Life, as they say, is full of contrasts and when the chance to visit the 5 star luxury cruise ship Crystal Serenity occurred, I jumped at the opportunity. The contrast was my previous experience of a cruise, many years ago, on the Queen Frederica which was built, I think, in 1929. The Crystal Serenity docked in Belfast having called at Dover, Leith and Lerwick in the Shetlands. Belfast has become very popular with cruise ships in the past few years and the port is well geared to cope with the large influx of tourists.
The OLS group numbered seven and was led by Matt Sudders, who had flown in from Paris. One other member had flown in from Leeds-Bradford and the remaining five were all locals Once we were cleared through security we made our way to the forward facing Palm Court lounge where we were given coffee and a short sales pitch from Bob, the Crystal representative. There were thirty people on the tour, the remainder being travel agents and guests. We were split into three groups and fortunately the seven OLS members were kept together and led by Paula Jean, the company sales coordinator from America.
The unadulterated luxury is immediately apparent when one views the upmarket shops such as Apropos and Facets in the main atrium. From there we made our way via the Lido café to the Seahorse pool where some of the passengers were sunbathing - bikinis beside the bistro in Belfast! Our tour of the various staterooms was impressive with king size beds and marble bathrooms, all with private balconies. The majority of passengers were American plus a large number of Japanese, probably influenced by the Japanese owners of the two Crystal ships which, incidentally, have been voted the best large cruise ships for the past seventeen years. While travelling the corridors I noticed that all cabins had news sheets in the relevant language inserted into racks beside their cabin doors.
The Crystal Serenity has a gross tonnage of just under 70,000 tons, so is by no means in the superliner league and as these giant ships, to my eyes, seem to be getting progressively uglier, this is no handicap. She is reasonably attractive and is aesthetically pleasing. She recently had a major refit at Blohm und Voss in Hamburg, which is in line with company procedure on both ships. The company is always aiming to be the best of the best and in this respect, each ship has a major refit every few years.
CRYSTAL SERENITY - Connoisseur Club

The recreational facilities on board were eclectic with areas set aside for bridge, computers, languages and one that appealed to me was a room with twelve Yamaha electronic organs plus a grand piano. I could foresee opportunities for a talent contest after a week's tuition on the organ. On second thoughts that would not be in line with company thinking! During our tour we visited the cinema which is also used for recitals, and we were lucky to see a dress rehearsal for one of the musical galaxy shows put on every night in the theatre. Other venues included the Stardust Club for late night dancing and the Pulse disco for those who have survived the fitness suite, swimming and running around the 360 degree teak deck. Just in case one wanted to relax after all that exertion, one could retire to the library or the Crystal spa and salon. My favourite venue was the Connoisseur Lounge decorated and furnished in the style of a gentleman's club. This, incidentally, is the only room where smoking is permitted.
The ultimate dining experience can be enjoyed in the Vintage Room where, for £180 fourteen people can enjoy a superb gourmet meal with fine vintage wines. Talking of which, we had our own fine dining experience at lunchtime in the Crystal dining room. The seven OLS members were split into three groups and my wife and myself sat at our host Bob's table with a travel agent and her guests. There was a continuous supply of wine which my fellow diners assured me was excellent (l was a designated driver so could not imbibe). The meal and service was superb with the finest piece of beef I have ever tasted.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my day on this superb vessel - I just wish I could afford to sample even a short seven day cruise. One has to pay for quality and there is no doubt in my mind that Crystal provide a Rolls Royce experience, one that could possibly spoil any future cruise liner experience. I just hope that more opportunities may arise for OLS members in Northern Ireland to visit ships in the near future. To those who did not avail themselves of this opportunity, please ensure you book for the next visit. Only next time could we please be shown the bridge, which as an ex-Blue Funnel man, was the one area, as a ship enthusiast, I really had hoped to experience.
Tony Ablett
(Webmaster: Getting bridge visits is extremely difficult these days due to the heightened security on all cruise ships)

I could not change the symbols as the direction said. Right clicking the taskbar icon did not provide access to the settings as described. I removed the application.
I found the concept very good. Unfortunately it is not capable of presenting the info in real time and which is available on so many sites.I understand that the info is provided by Yahoo/finance and is delayed. This delay is not what I require. Real time UK market info is available from The Telegraph.co.uk and CNBC tv.
The ticker itself worked fine, very nice. Problem was that every time I launched it, my desktop icons were scrambled all over my desktop, quite a nuisance. For that reason I deleted the program off my platform. One should not have to deal with an app rearranging set desktop icons every time it\'s used.
The software installed easily and started working right away. I like the smoothness of the display and that I can autohide it if I need to when I have to use the full screen. I\'m still playing with the display options but I can say already that this one is a keeper.
Not happy with this product - Uninstalling!The web link failed to install but the attached link here did.When I installed the Ticker - it rearranged my desktop icons which really upset me.Then when I tried to find the item I wanted to watch, the known symbol SIK11 couldn\'t be found. I could not download the symbols list without installing the full program which costs almost $30 a MONTH. Get real! Too much trouble when there are other good free programs out there.
Opinion I\'m familiar with the use since it appears similar to COOL TICK. I have a new computer running windows 7 and I was able to download and run Stock Ticker but have not been able to change any stocks or add an index.

File this one under "bizarre." According to the Daily Caller, on Wednesday, Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson compared congressional opposition to President Barack Obama's "American Jobs Act" to the Confederate "states in rebellion." But this isn't the most offsetting portion of Jackson's commentary, which will likely cause a "fair share" of shock and awe.
In addition to making this oddball comparison, Jackson said that the government should directly employ the 15 million people who are currently without work. The controversial representative said that the president should "declare a national emergency" and take "extraordinary constitutional" action "administratively," the Daily Caller reports. This, of course, may mean that Congress wouldn't really be involved in the process.

My 7 month old was diagnosed with sensorienural hearing loss, he had a ABR test done at about 2 month old and now got retested in the booth with out his aids. Both test turned out to be different, wich one should I believe? My son also screams and makes a lot of dirrefent noises, we talk to him and he looks right at us. Is this normal for a child to make all of these different sounds if he was diagnosed with hearing loss?

Oracle Corp. launched a new, free, online customer care service, Support.Oracle.com, at its inaugural AppsWorld conference in Paris Monday.
The online service is aimed at eliminating the cost to companies of building and operating physical customer support centers, Oracle said in a statement. It offers businesses an online version of the customer care elements of Oracle E-Business Suite, accessible via a Web browser from anywhere in the world.
The basic service will initially be offered free of charge, although "customers will pay a low monthly fee" for more advanced functionality, according to the Web site for the new service. In addition, the company may charge a fee for "request management" after the initial promotional offer expires.
In August 2000, Oracle introduced a similar service for sales staff, Sales.Oracle.com. It claims 150,000 users in 10,000 companies are already using this service.
The venue for the announcement, Oracle AppsWorld, is a user conference featuring 120 conference sessions and a string of keynote speeches from Oracle executives and users on the agenda. Running through Wednesday, it will focus on five themes: business-to-business marketplaces, web self-service, wireless electronic commerce, applications hosting, and electronic marketing. Alongside the conference is an exhibition featuring the latest Oracle-based electronic commerce technologies.
Larry Ellison, chairman and chief executive officer will deliver a keynote address on Tuesday. Sergio Giacoletto, executive vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, will also speak at the conference, while Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) President and General Manager for Europe Bernard de Valence will be among the keynote speakers from outside Oracle, according to an Oracle statement.
Oracle and its partners took the opportunity to make a number of other announcements about new contracts and products at the conference.
The company's Dutch subsidiary, Oracle Netherlands BV, has struck a deal to connect all 4,000 employees of information and communication technology services consultant Landis Group NV to an Oracle E-Business Suite, according to an Oracle statement. The system will provide employees with access to marketing, sales, human resources, procurement, manufacturing and financial functions, and incorporates call center, e-mail and scheduling systems.
Telia Net, the Danish subsidiary of Swedish telecommunications operator Telia Group AB, has recently upgraded to the Oracle E-Business Suite, according to Oracle. It said Telia Net was the first European company to upgrade to Oracle's Web-based suite of business applications, giving all employees in Denmark access to customer relationship management, order entry, order management and financial functions from their web browser. Telia Net will host the applications for other companies of the group in France, the U.K. and Italy before offering the service to customers as an ASP (application service provider), said Oracle.
HP and Oracle together announced Monday that the customer relationship management (CRM) partnership they set up in September 1999 had brought them 23 major European customers, including Colt Telecom PLC. HP and Oracle said they would jointly develop Oracle systems on the HP platform, using internet-enabled technologies from both companies.
Based on the number of advance registrations made through its Web site, Oracle expects 4,000 visitors will attend the show, it said in a statement Monday.
Oracle AppsWorld runs through Wednesday Feb. 14 at the CNIT, Paris La Defense. Keynotes and the exhibition are free to attend.

Sir Alex Ferguson made a last-minute personal intervention in the transfer of Harry Kewell to Liverpool but failed to convince him to join Manchester United in a phone call to the Australian international on Monday night.
The row surrounding the 24-year-old's acrimonious departure from Leeds continued yesterday when the winger was unveiled by Liverpool, whose manager, Gerard Houllier, was left to reflect on a £5 million bargain that was completed despite Ferguson's legendary powers of persuasion.
The United manager had failed in a series of bids this summer that would have topped Liverpool's offer for the player by as much as £4 million, but even his policy of talking to transfer targets directly, which persuaded Roy Keane to abandon a move to Blackburn in 1993, failed this time.
In reality, United were third in Kewell's list of choices behind Liverpool and Arsenal, but if the Australian believed that he would be spared the ire of Elland Road by turning down Leeds' biggest rivals then he will be sorely disappointed.
Furious about the meagre £3 million that his club made from the deal, Leeds chairman Professor John McKenzie released a detailed account of the negotiations with Kewell which, as revealed in The Telegraph, showed how the player's agent, Bernie Mandic, demanded £2 million of the transfer fee.
Yet McKenzie's warning that, despite selling seven first-team players in the past 12 months, Leeds were still "around £80 million in debt" will be the biggest shock for fans at Elland Road who fear for the future of players like Alan Smith, Paul Robinson and Mark Viduka.
McKenzie said: "If they want to stay there is only a very, very, very remote chance of them going. We'd like Robinson to stay, he's a fine goalkeeper. But his situation will be very much down to him."
He added: "I have every expectation that we will be moving forward. There are already over 20,000 fans who have taken up season tickets for next year. They believe in us and I believe in Leeds United."
Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry praised Kewell for turning down some "huge offers" from other clubs and claimed that the player did not try to change the terms of his personal deal once he had reached an agreement.
Kewell said: "The only thing that has hurt me has been the possible reaction of the [Leeds] fans. All the other stuff didn't really bother me because I was relaxing. It's just a shame and hopefully the fans can see that it's not me that has done all this and they can respect that and hopefully when I do go there I do get a warm welcome because they have been nothing but loyal to me."
- Roma have completed the signing of French midfielder Olivier Dacourt from Leeds for £3.5 million.

The Goonies (1985)
This movie is so awesome I love it for the comedy and adventure they have. They also have characters that I can laugh and have a good time watching.
Monster Squad (1987)
Monster Squad is awesome I love this movie it came out with a lot of beautifully made scenes that make me want to keep watching it my favorite monsters are Dracula and the Werewolf.
Weird Science (1985)
Even though they did a remake they never did a sequel to the science fiction movie Weird Science.
ET is the biggest box office movie of the 1980s so you would think it would come out with a sequel. It was a cool movie with an awesome story It's said ET was only going to be in the ending of the sequel. But it was canceled by the director.
Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991)
This is a good romantic adventure movie from 1991.

With papers from the OFT, DWP and FCA all examining the way consumers are charged for their pensions and investments, zeal for reform is at an all time high.
While life insurers, asset managers and commission-based advisers have taken the brunt of the flak to date, The Pensions Regulator is keeping a sharp eye on all corners of the market, including occupational schemes, blended fund solutions and master trusts.
Speaking to Andrew Warwick-Thompson, executive director for DC, governance and administration at The Pensions Regulator, it is clear that he is prepared to take the principles of transparency, alignment of interest and pursuit of good member outcomes into corners of the market that seem far from the centre of government reforms.
Pointing out that there are trust-based schemes out there that pay consultants charges out of members' contributions, he outlines a number of potential conflicts that anyone – intermediary or provider – thinking of setting up a master trust might want to reflect on.
"Now we have these vertically integrated providers where you have a master trust, effectively with its own sales force, in which case you will get a sales force being remunerated out of the pot. So when we have the consultation around commission and consultancy charges generally we have to be aware of the fact that this is not just an issue across the insurance industry," says Warwick-Thompson.
For Warwick-Thompson it is all about whether scheme offerings, including the one launched by Mercer recently, should have the right to call themselves truly trust-based.
"When it comes to the big EBCs setting up master trusts, it will be very interesting to see how they are structured and I am looking forward to talking to them about that.
"How do you as an EBC extract revenue from these things? They have a huge administration business so I would assume them or any of the big EBCs would want to use their own administration system. From our perspective we would say, OK that's fine, so you have a bunch of trustees, can they fire that administration service, and under what circumstances?
"And if you are offering investment services and blending funds, could the trustees look at the performance of that blending process and say, this really isn't good enough, we are firing you, Mercer, Aon, or whoever, as the investment adviser. Because if you can't do that then actually we don't think you have any business calling yourself an occupational scheme."
The former Aon Hewitt man is determined that occupational should not be seen as a soft touch.
"I don't want master trusts to be seen as the easy regulatory option as between GPP and the occupational schemes market. We don't want people saying 'it's a real hassle dealing with these people at the PRA and FSA. I know what, that nice fluffy regulator called TPR, we'll go and work on their side of the fence.'"
He cites concern over the proliferation of master trusts as his top priority right now.
"These will be big beasts – we can't afford to have them set up by cowboys. If you think of all the regulation the insurance companies have to go through before they can set up a GPP, such as capital adequacy requirements, nothing like that exists on the master trust side," he says.
For this reason TPR has been working with ICAEW to create a new assurance framework to help trustees of defined contribution master trusts demonstrate to potential and existing customers that their scheme is being run to a high standard.
"We will expect master trusts to comply with this voluntary process. If you want to be a serious player in the market you should have this accreditation. And we will say on all our marketing materials, if you are choosing a master trust, choose one with the ICAEW accreditation," he says.
So does he think it fair that life offices should be allowed to keep their potentially sub-standard investment options when master trusts will not be allowed to? Some fund managers are arguing that services should be completely unbundled for auto-enrolment.
"One of the interesting things from the OFT report was that there should be management committees for GPPs. So it will be an interesting debate as that feeds through to see where that lands. You could get to a situation where the management committees in a Scottish Widows or Legal & General or whichever GPP might actually have to have some teeth and say 'we don't think you are doing a very good job, in-house manager, so we will bring in another manager'. Open architecture exists already, so it should be open for the governance committee to say you don't cut the mustard. That might happen, in the same way that you might say to a trustee board, if you don't have the power to sack then we don't like that, then you would have to ask the question how does that work in the contract-based environment," he says.
The counter-argument is that the government needs master trust providers to come into the market to deal with capacity.
"Yes, but my question back on that point is that we are looking for master trusts with scale, so do we really want 70 master trusts, which is what we have got at the moment. I have serious reservations that even given the growth in the market we are likely to see, whether there is space in the market for 70 players.
"Our number one risk for the pensions market is poor master trust provision, along with poor administrators. All the money passes through the administrator. I personally find it perverse that they are not regulated. So we have worked with Margaret Snowdon at Pasa with a code of practice and submit yourself to an audit. Ideally you will want the ICAEW and the Pasa.
"Someone came up and said, why would this just apply to a master trust. Shouldn't this apply to any pension scheme, to which my reply was, 'well spotted'. We don't want these people taking in a load of money and then falling over," says Warwick-Thompson.
He welcomes the recent moves towards greater transparency in fund management charges, acknowledging even in the roles he has held in his career it has never been 100 per cent clear who is charging what.
"I suspect that even if you are someone like Aon Hewitt and you go along for a fee negotiation you never truly get to the bottom of it. But even if we never get to the bottom of it we can do a lot better than we are at the moment," he says.
The bigger issue for the pensions industry itself is around AMCs, where Warwick-Thompson prefers an approach that reflects the complexity of the situation.
"What I am worried about is say we set a cap at 100bps, and then people start charging 95bps. I don't mind people charging 95bps if you are giving a Rolls Royce service to the members. What I don't want is people to say I will charge 25bps but then have rubbish service and no communications. We need to put charges in the context of what service is being given.
"In theory it is fine to charge 150bps if you give a really good service. But the other thing is that you don't just measure it when you set the scheme up. You need ongoing monitoring. So again we could have a situation where providers low-ball at the outset, and will do a loss-lead to get the business, but charges will go up without any change in service," he says.
Warwick-Thompson talks of bringing trust and contract closer together and the need for contract-based schemes to have the ability to change things without getting express approval from every single member.
"They are workplace pensions and we need to wait to see what the FCA come up with in their new pension strategy. We look forward to speaking to them when it is ready, perhaps early next year.
"But the way they are treated at the moment, which is as retail products, where all the information is delivered at the point of sale to an individual is clearly the wrong way to look at them in the way GPPs operate. They are not sold to individuals," he says.
He talks enthusiastically about defined ambition, despite some arguing appetite will be limited.
"I don't think DA is an if, I think when we get DA it will transform the landscape. And what we currently think of DC and DB maybe are the end stops to the spectrum but there will be a whole lot of other stuff going on in the middle.
"All the DWP is trying to do is say lets make sure we free up the regulatory and regulatory landscape in a way that will liberate those companies that want to offer DA, make sure there are no regulatory barriers in front of them," he says.
But is there an appetite from employers?
"Do I think that is going to result in a huge big bang and explosion in restructuring of schemes? No, I think it is going to be a slow burn. But the government is trying to liberalise the regulatory framework to allow innovation and some form of risk-sharing," he adds.
Advisers may be pleasantly surprised to hear a regulator talk positively about the concept of drawdown done in bulk. Warwick-Thompson is all for it, and sees a potential new market for master trust providers.
"I really like the idea of mass drawdown and this is one of those regulatory barriers I would love to see pulled down. We know annuities are not the right solution for many people because they just represent very poor value.
"One of the reasons why you can't do income drawdown unless you have a very big pot and an adviser who is prepared to take you on, is because it is such a heavily regulated area. If you look at the trust-based environment of say a master trust, and you have trustees who are experienced in running decumulation, which of course DB trustees are, then why wouldn't you try to industrialise the management of that individual drawdown pot for a fraction of the cost.
"If you have a £5bn scheme it is a nonsense to take this £100,000 pot out and give it to an IFA to run a drawdown for you or give it to an insurance company. Why not keep that £100,000 within the £5bn pot, but have it managed in a way that switches it from accumulation to decumulation at an appropriate time. That is a difficult thing at the moment for a trustee to do. I think it is also unattractive for employers to run individual occupational schemes in that way, which is why I think big commercial master trusts could have a role to play," he says.
And what about the contract-based world?
"In the contract-based world you are always going to be dealing with people on an individual basis because of the way we regulate and legislate," he says. "So why wouldn't you when you come to retire switch your pot to one of these big commercial master trusts."
Warwick-Thompson is equally positive about the much talked of capacity crunch.
"We don't think there will be one. The work we are doing talking to employers, providers, payroll providers, master trusts, advisers, suggests that there is capacity in the market. Our fear is not around the capacity of the market to absorb but in the inertia of the employers to get set up to hit their target dates. So the message to them is you need to plan ahead.
"There are enough tools coming on stream in the coming months that will make it very difficult for an employer to be able to complain that they did not know what to do. Yes it requires investing some time and effort, but it's a statutory obligation," he says.
With the capacity crunch manageable, it is cowboy master trust providers that are his public enemy number one.

The Commission for Human Right and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) on Monday launched its annual Human Right and Integrity week with a call on Ghanaians to show love and compassion to Persons Living with HIV (PLHIV)
The commission said it finds it regrettable that PLHIV are continually stigmatised and discriminated against.
It said such behaviour constitute violations of rights of PLHIV and go a long way to spread the disease as victims fail to disclose their status.
The annual calendar week celebration, which highlights human dignity and justice for all is this year throwing light on PLHIV in commemoration of world AIDS day which is celebrated on December 1.
Launching the week in Accra, Mr Joseph Whittal, Deputy Commissioner of CHRAJ said it was heart warming to note that Ghana has recorded a reduction in the prevalence rate of HIV and AIDS and is on course to reach the goal of zero new infections, zero AIDS related deaths, and zero discrimination by 2015 as envisaged globally.
"We there encourage all persons: single or married, divorce, old, young, female or male to get tested," he said.
Mr Whittal noted that despite the strides, the figures are still alarming and that there is the need to redouble efforts as a nation to attain global targets by 2015.
He said the current estimate show that in 2012, 235,972 persons were living with the disease, with 27,734 being children, 7,138 new infections, 11,655 related deaths and 852 new child infections.
CHRAJ commended Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) for its efforts at carrying the National Strategic Plan for HIV and AIDS (NSP 2011-2015) through.
CHRAJ expressed the hope its collaboration with GAC would protect and promote the rights of most at risk populations in the country through the new innovative web based platform hosted by the commission for reporting and tracking complaints.
Other activities billed for the week celebration are educational visit to some selected schools and an anti corruption day on the state of corruption.

simple utility for looking up Akkadian words in the CAD
Project description
akkdict is a simple command-line python program that takes an akkadian word as input and opens pdfs of several akkadian dictionaries to the right page (or somewhere thereabouts). It works well for some of the illicit pdfs of The Concise Dictionary of Akkdian (CDA) and Das Akkadishes Handwörterbuch (AHw) floating around, if you happen to have them. It also will get you within 100 pages in the Assyrian Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago (CAD), which can be freely downloaded from http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/publications/assyrian-dictionary-oriental-institute-university-chicago-cad (naturally, akkdict also has a helper script for this; see below). If you would like to contribute to expanding and improving the CAD index or any of the other indicies, we would be happy to pull from you! If you are a humanities major and using git is too hard, contact me!
Install akkdict from PyPI with pip3! pip install akkdict If you don't have pip and are unmotivated to get it on your platform, you can download clone the source from github, enter the project directory and run python3 setup.py install, which will probably require root, and you should just not do it. Just git pip.
One thing to know is you must have a way to open a PDF to a specific page number from the command line. This is no problem on Linux. Just look at the man page for your favorite PDF reader. I hear talk that this is possible on OS X with AppleScript. There are also command line options for this in Acrobat Reader. I frankly don't even know if this package works at all on Windows, but I have my doubts. If someone who knows something about Windows wants to contribute, please do!
akkdict requires some configuration. It will let you know about it. The default config file has comments which explain things.
Open a word in the configured dictionaries: akkdict šarru
Print the page number (and volume): akkdict -p šarru
Download the CAD into a local folder: akkdict --download-cad

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was the keynote speaker at the ICC 115 event held at Georgetown University on Tuesday, March 25. At the event Cousins provided insights on everything from football to academics, and also met with and chatted it up with fans in attendance.
Cousins joined the Redskins in 2012 after starring as the quarterback at Michigan State University from 2009 to 2011. At Michigan State Cousins sported a perfect 4-0 record against rival Michigan and also led the school to their first ever Big Ten Championship game, earning a share of the Big Ten title in 2010.
After leading the Spartans to a victory in the 2011 Outback Bowl and earning the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award he was selected in the fourth round by the Washington Redskins. Over the course of the 2012 and 2013 seasons Cousins has appeared in eight games and made four starts for the Redskins, throwing for 1,320 yards and 8 touchdowns. Heading into the 2014 season Cousins looks to continue his success for the Redskins, proving himself as not only a consistent quarterback but also as a leader that deserves a shot to be an everyday starter in the NFL.

Two of Silverbird Cinema halls were used for the premiere. Each of the halls screened the movie twice and on each occasion, the halls were fully packed.
"It is encouraging that movie fans came out in their numbers to see my movie. It is indication that Ghanaians still have interest in our local movies and we must improve the frontiers to heighten that attention," director Frank Rajah said at the premiere.
"It is amazing," CEO of Venus Film Production, Abdul Salam described it.
At about 6:00pm Friday evening, movie enthusiasts started trooping to Silverbird for the premiere event which had some of Ghana's hottest actors passing through.
By 7:00pm when the movie was about to start, all two halls of the cinema were packed. At the same time an interesting number of movie fans were waiting outside of the halls for their turn.
Also patrons' reaction to some of the scenes of the movie during the screening ceremony indicated that they loved the movie.
Present at the ceremony sponsored by Baileys were top actors Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah and John Dumelo.
Among the cast were Chichi Neblett, Uche Iwuannyawu and Henry A. Asiedu as Adjetey Anang and Omar Sheriff Captan were conspicuously missing. Also present were Gloria Sarfo, Roselyn Ngissah, Kweku Elliot, Nollywood's Bobby Obodo, David Oscar and a host of others.
'Cheaters' is described as the next romantic comedy to rock the movie scene.
It follows the stories of several young couples caught up in a web of love, lies and extramarital affairs. It throws more light on the assumption that marriage is the only war in which one sleeps with the enemy. If the couple is inseparable, it usually takes five people to separate it and 'Cheaters' reflects just that. In this film love is portrayed as a mysterious adventure that takes one through many twists and turns.
One adds a bit of infidelity to the mix and he or she has the perfect recipe for disaster.

Samir Gangwani: Become Camera
Event Times
Check here for event times.
Thu, Jan 25
Samir Gangwani activates Melwood Gallery and the Pittsburgh Filmmakers' campus with a video installation and interactive performances on January 25, 2018 from 2-10pm.
Join exhibiting artist Samir Gangwani in the Melwood Gallery for a durational performance on Thursday, January 25 from 2:00pm - 10pm. The closing reception and Gangwani's final performance will be held Friday, February 9, 2018 from 6:00pm - 9:30pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Durational Performance: Thursday, January 25 from 2:00pm - 10pm
Closing Reception & Final Perfomance: Friday, February 9, 2018 from 6:00pm - 9:30pm
Become Camera is an extended meditation from a series Gangwani began in 2016 titled Always Watching Part I: A Conversation with the TSA. In addition to exhibiting My Friends and Recording in Progress—selfies and filmed greetings with surveillance cameras and monitors—the artist will be creating and performing a new durational work, Staring Contest, that invites audience members to engage in a digital staring contest with the artist that exists both in the gallery and live via the Snapchat app.
"The everyday person is being constantly surveilled whether they like it or not via phones, security cameras, laptops, satellite imaging, etcetera. As a brown man with a beard I experience a heightened form of surveillance. I'm not only watched by technology; I'm being watched everywhere I go by those on the streets, in stores, and in restaurants because of a stigma created solely on my appearance. Some would profile me as a terrorist," says Gangwani.
The Melwood Gallery at Pittsburgh Filmmakers' supports the presentation of new work by artists, members, and students working across traditional and emergent media at the intersection of print, photography, and the moving image. The Melwood Gallery, located next to the Melwood Screening Room on the second floor of Pittsburgh Filmmakers' building at 477 Melwood Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, is open Monday through Wednesday from 9am - 5pm and Thursday through Sunday from 9am - 9pm.

Five Brits and I piled into a Landcruiser one warm, peaceful late winter's day. Warm, that is, with just a few gusts of icy cold air blasting us every once in a while. And peaceful, except for our increasingly urgent need to pee.
"They have water problems here," mentioned the Chilean with crinkly eyes who had driven us from San Pedro to the Bolivian border, the starting point of our tour through the Uyuni Salt Flats. "So, no toilet here. Only out there." He gestured into the desert.
Another frontier. Another poke at neighbouring countries. Welcome to South America.
Stuffed with ham and cheese sandwiches, Milo and coffee (Some people had believed Señor Crinkly Eyes' suggestion that the Bolivians wouldn't feed us again that day), we were ready and itching to head out and see the landscapes heralded by so many as their favourites in the continent.
Two nights and two and a half days of four-wheel-driving through de desert and Uyuni's Salt Flats awaited, and we were nothing less than stoked beyond belief to be starting.
The team
Our group was made up of Victoria and Steve (a beautiful London couple I'd met much earlier in Puerto Madryn where we whale-watched and drank mountains of tea as if we were Welsh), Nick (also from London, a non-typical lawyer and owner of the quirkiest panorama setting I've ever seen on a camera) and Michelle and Justin (a well-travelled couple from Yorkshire whose accents had me wishing I could replicate them, despite a lifetime of listening to my own English father put his on).
Oh, and me. The only one not from the motherland.
We left with Jorge our driver, a Uyuni native and man of few words. Jorge was working his eighth year as a driver and had been put in charge of the antics of newbie Juan, himself driving behind us with six others.
Day One – which I feel should be officially re-named Lake Day – was a veritable water fest. Lagoons (lagunas) of all sizes and colours were visited, the most notable for almost everyone being the blood-red Laguna Colorada, which owes its colour to a specific micro-organism, to which in turn, the naturally white (!!) flamingos owe their pinky hue.
Other highlights of Day One include a dip in a thermal bath, the Sol de Mañana geysers and a strange rock formation reminiscent of Dalí's works…
…all before you retire to your lodgings for the night.
When starting your tour from San Pedro de Atacama, this first night is wildly advertised as the coldest on the tour: And without the benefit of heating, it is well worth renting a sleeping bag (20Bs).
While nothing salubrious, our rooms were large and the building basic but comfortable, which considering the horror stories you hear about accommodation during Salt Flat tours, was excellent!
Day Two involves a lot more driving, and after being treated to a pretty sunrise, by 8am we were ready and the 4×4 strapped up with our numerous backpacks.
Day Two sees you pass by rock formations including the famous Árbol de Piedra (Stone Tree), flamingo-filled lagoons, desert landscapes, volcanic remains before visiting San Juan (last stop for supplies if you're having a sugar-craving).
The second night is spent in one of the famous Hoteles de Sal (Salt Hotels), buildings constructed of salt bricks. Don't ask me how they get the salt to stick together – but it's definitely a new sight!
Day Three begins again at around 8am, heading off directing (and finally!) into the Salt Flats themselves. For the punter coming from San Pedro de Atacama direction, the flats will be the last thing they see…which, ´course, makes the anticipation all the greater!
After a stop over at la Isla del Pez (Fish Island: One of many coral island remaining from when the Salt Flats were an immense lake) it's time to take those famous depth-perception piccies we've seen so many of.
Easy right?
No. Wrong. So wrong. Ohhhh, so painfully wrong!
For anyone who hasn't yet been to El Salar de Uyuni: Research pictures first. When you're there, it's just not as simple as you might think to make these work. The frustration will short-circuit your brain and you won't be able to think of anything to create ranging much beyond the obvious.
Research first and copy later. That is all.
After the excitement / frustration of picture time, the final highlights include lunch (always a plus), the salt mine and Cemeterio de los Trenes (Train Cemetery) in Uyuni itself.
At around 3pm, it's good-bye time. Most people, freaked out by the enormous amount of rubbish strewn around the village opt to stay the shortest time possible in Uyuni before hopping on a bus straight outta there. But if you dare to venture into the centre after being dropped off by your driver, you'll find some charm…and couple of good places to eat (veggies alike will like Minuteman Pizza) or to fuel a growing alcoholism at the drinking games friendly Extreme Fun Pub.
As a gateway into Bolivia, or a final hurrah before going south into Argentina or crossing into Chile, a tour through El Salar de Uyuni is a must-see for nature lovers and salt of the earth types…
- Tours through Uyuni's Salt Flats (Salar de Uyuni) start and finish from San Pedro de Atacama (Chile), Uyuni or Tupiza (Bolivia).
- Prices range greatly and reflect quality, particularly driving quality and accident rating. Expect to pay around US$150 for a three day tour. Shop around before choosing your company, using other travellers as your most valuable source of information.
- Tours include the same highlights, though some drivers will be happier to stop more frequently to let you take photos at other locations which take your fancy.
- The price includes all food and accommodation, but not park entry. During the tour, you will be required to pay two entrance fees: of 150Bs and 30Bs (about US$20 and $4 respectively).

Adidas dropped Kanye West's then-brand new Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Core Black" a few weeks ago. The shoes was a joint drop effort between both Adidas and non-Adidas stores that sell the in-demand kicks. Sure, every 'Ye-designed model sells out instantly without fail, but having more than one shot to maybe get your hands on a pair helps keep some hope alive. Unfortunately, you might not be so optimistic with this weekend's newest Yeezy Boost 350 V2 release.
Adidas surprised sneakerheads and Yeezy disciples with the news that this Saturday, yet another Yeezy Boost 350 will hit shelves—but only those owned by Adidas (both physical and digital—it is 2017). That means this time around there are no raffles or Instagram contests to be won. Why would the athletic giant want to mess with a good thing? One reason might be that production of the "Zebra" colorway is a limited production run, meaning there aren't enough pairs to stock all off Adidas' thirt party doors as well as their own. It means that it is harder to get than any other Yeezy Boost 350 V2 thus far, which only makes them more covetable.
There is some good news: the scarcity of the sneakers won't affect the price. The latest Yeezy release will still retail for $200. And what you get for two Benjamins is a fresh spin on the already-classic kick, including a striped upper that's most similar to the first tan and orange 350 V2 that debuted in 2016. However, like the "Core Black" before it, the "Zebra" pairs feature a back tab that was featured on the original Yeezy Boost 350s, but was not included on the first two V2 releases.
The only way to get a pair of the Yeezy 350 V2 "Zebra" sneakers is to 1) scoop them up through Adidas's (sometimes frustrating) Confirmed app or to try your luck on Saturday on adidas.com/yeezy. Registration for the sneakers is open until tomorrow at 12PM EST, and the drop will take place at 4PM.
If the Confirmed App proves unsuccessful, adidas.com/yeezy will be another source of hope—and likely an equally as brutal hair-pulling exercise. On drop will likely happen around 11PM. You could also wait a few months until the all-new Yeezy Runners hit retailers, which truthfully are a welcomed change of pace from the hyper-futuristic styling of the Yeezy Boost line. Below are a few useful tips for attempting to buy the kicks online. Just know that with bots and the backdoor efforts of certain sites likes Yeezy Mafia, buying the sneakers through legitimate could prove to be a futile task. And with more scarcity, don't be surprised if these new Yeezys fetch $1,000+ online. Anyway, good luck!

In transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), an instrument (called an antenna) that sends out microwave energy is inserted through the urethra to a location inside the prostate. Microwave energy is then used to heat the inside of the prostate. Cooling fluid is circulated around the microwave antenna to prevent heat from damaging the wall of the urethra. To prevent the temperature from getting too high outside the prostate, a temperature sensor is inserted into the man's rectum during the procedure. If the temperature in the rectum increases too much, the treatment is turned off automatically until the temperature goes back down.
The temperature becomes high enough inside the prostate to kill some of the tissue. As this part of the prostate heals, it shrinks, reducing the blockage of urine flow.
This treatment is done in a single session. It usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. A general or spinal anesthetic is needed during the procedure.
Microwave therapy is also known as cooled thermal therapy or by the name of the equipment used.
You are generally able to go home after surgery. You may not be able to urinate and may require catheterization to drain your bladder. For most men, this lasts for a week or less. You may also have to take antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medicines.
You can generally return to work 1 to 2 days after treatment. Sexual activity can be resumed 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
TUMT is done to help relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is an option for men who want more than medicines for treatment of their symptoms.
Studies note that TUMT is more effective than treatment with the alpha-blocker terazosin when checked 18 months later.2
In a summary of very small studies, TUMT did not improve symptoms and urine flow as much as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) did. But men seemed equally happy with either surgery.2
The main complication of TUMT is the inability to urinate (urinary retention) for more than a week. This condition is treated by inserting a tube directly through the abdominal wall into the bladder to drain urine (suprapubic catheter). Erection problems and retrograde ejaculation (ejaculation backward into the bladder) appear to be less common after TUMT than after TURP.1
Other complications include persistent irritation of the urethra and blood in the urine.2
Reports have warned that the procedure has in a small number of cases caused serious injuries and complications, including damage to the penis and urethra. Injuries have required colostomies, partial amputation of the penis, and other procedures. In December 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about these injuries.
Most trials using TUMT have been limited by a small number of participants, a short length of time of study, and limited follow-up of the participants after the trial ended.
This procedure is not recommended for men who have prostate cancer or for men who are suspected of having prostate cancer.

D&D with ADI
Gorain Irontome
Hill Dwarf Cleric (Knowledge)
The years have treated this Hill-Dwarf well. Gorain is devoid of scars, free of blemishes, and lacks any of the wear and tear one would expect of an adventurer of such advanced years. What is visible of his face beneath a polished silvery helm is wrinkled and his beard has as much gray as it does brown. His eyes are oddly pale and may show the early signs of cataracts. Gorain is of average height an build for a member of the Dwarven hill-clans. Dressed in Scale Mail and carrying a Moradin-crested shield Gorain looks ready for battle in form though perhaps not in bearing.
The death of the Golden Dwarves' king brought drastic change to Eartheart. The great temple, dedicated to Moradin, was locked down and restricted to royalty. Not long after, the new king, Goldemar, began sending troops to raid smiths, alchemists, and jewelers, stealing their ancient blueprints and recipes and secreting them away. All progress and expansion came to a grinding halt and the city was plunged into chaos and squalor. This suffering lasted for over a hundred years before the elders of East Rift finally admitted the new king's flaws and saw that he had had had violated Moradin's higher law with his decrees.
Gorain grew up in an especially poor part of Eartheart, the capitol of the East Rift, during the early years of Goldemar's reign. After many battles with neighboring Orcs his father gained considerable fame as a soldier. Their family's social standing was improved to the point that his mother was permitted to work as a temple scribe, though their home was searched every night to be certain that nothing was taken. Through both of Gorain's parent's efforts his family was eventually permitted to join clan Irontome.
Around the age of thirty, with his elder sister already off at war, Gorain's mother had him begin studying the teachings the of Moradin; soon after he joined the church as a researcher, primarily studying books and abandoned ruins. While working one evening Gorain dropped, and shattered, an old tablet; when he reached out to pick it up his touch caused it became whole once again. Gorain convinced himself that he had only imagined it breaking in the first place. A few weeks later a stalactite fell from the ceiling and impaled his friend's shoulder near neck. When Gorain placed his hand upon the wound the bleeding miraculously slowed and his friend survived long enough for a healer to arrive. Gorain could not ignore the signs any longer and went to the temple leaders to explore his newfound abilities. Soon after he was admitted as one of Moradin's clerics.
Over a hundred years later, with his training complete and with Goldemar finally overthrown, there is little left of importance for him to do in Eartheart. Gorain has set out into the world to see that his people's recent troubles are not suffered by others. Gorain's conviction is strong but his real-world experience is lacking. Nevertheless, no one will be permitted to put their greed for knowledge and power before the good of the people and no corrupt law will stand before Moradin's will.

In my last post I talked about distraction, the first part of distress tolerance skills. I'm sure most of you have no problem coming up with distraction techniques, but just in caaaase I'm going to post a list of ideas.
- Watch cat videos on youtube. Or dog videos. Any animal videos are great.
- Color, paint, or draw. I got a pack of decent watercolors for $5 at Walmart. Crayons and colored pencils are even less.
- Play a video/computer/tablet/phone game. I have a Wii, but even if you don't have a video game console there are so many free games for devices. My favorite is The Simpsons Tapped Out. It has a story line, but there are plenty of basic games like solitaire and Tetris and Candy Crush.
- Read a book or magazine or something online.
- Watch a show or movie that you find comforting, inspiring, or hilarious.
- Do something that requires a little bit of thought or concentration like a jigsaw or crossword puzzle. Put something together or organize a bookshelf.
- Exercise. I don't enjoy exercising for distress tolerance because I hate exercising, but some people find this very helpful.
- Replace destructive behaviors with different behaviors. Draw on your body instead of cutting. Punch a pillow instead of taking your anger out on someone else. Tear up paper. Write the name of the person you're mad at on a balloon then stomp on it.
- Cuddle your pets/kids/a loved one.
- Spend time outside, even if it's just 5-10 minutes.
- Text or call a friend.
- Eat one of your favorite foods.
- Take a shower or nap.
Those are some examples of enjoyable activities to distract yourself with. You can also distract yourself by paying attention to other people. For some people it helps to focus on someone else. Sometimes it helps me to text someone else and ask how they're doing. Other times I might write people letters or make something for someone I love (like a collage or some other craft).
If you have a good imagination or find it easy to get lost in your thoughts, you can distract yourself by thinking about other things. This one is difficult for me, but some people find it helpful. Here are some examples.
- Imagine meeting your hero and getting to hang out with them for a day. Imagine that they are totally psyched to spend time with you, and think about what you'd do that day.
- Pick a room in your living space and imagine navigating it if you were only 3 inches tall.
- Envision your dream world. Sometimes when I am anxious or can't sleep, I imagine a place in the woods where fairies live. I think about the creatures that would live there, and all the trees, plants, and dwelling places that would be around.
- Picture the world being made of food and decide what each item would be made of. I feel like horses' tails would be spaghetti.
- Pick the 5 people you'd want with you if you were in a post-apocalyptic situation. It can be people you know in real life, famous people, fictional characters. Then pick 12 items you'd want to have with you.
I mentioned this in the last post, but other ways of distracting yourself are to leave the situation that is upsetting you (if leaving is possible), counting (things around you, like floor tiles or counting by 7's to yourself or listing prime numbers), and concentrating on your breathing.
I hope this was maybe a tiny bit helpful. In the future when I come across great distraction techniques, I will post them and tag the post "distraction techniques" and "distress tolerance."

Gill Hoffs is an up 'n' coming writer that I'm sure you'll all be familiar with this time next year. Gill has just signed with Pen & Sword's Social History imprint. They are looking forward to releasing her book in January 2014. Check out how her 2012 has been.
2012 has been a great year for you. Do you have a favourite memory professionally?
It's been delightfully busy, yes! Hmm, I'm torn between a few – alright, a lot of – highlights, mostly relating to my book "Wild: a collection" (out now from Pure Slush). Taking my son for a long walk along Ayr beach looking for – and finding – the cover shot, building sandcastles, and throwing pebbles in the water? Having the first box of books delivered? The speech by Matt Potter (my hunky Australian editor/publisher) at the launch party, the book-cover-cake, the readings, and fun with SO many friends I couldn't quite believe it? Selling "Wild" alongside "The Irresistible Mr Wrong" by my hero Jeremy Scott at his London launch party – and giving a copy to Nic Roeg of "Don't Look Now" fame (he approved of my tomato red hair)? Giving a copy to another of my heroes, the lovely Iain Banks, at Glasgow's Weegie Wednesday night – without explaining that my broken specs weren't usually held together with dental floss and blu-tack? Becoming co-editor at Spilling Ink Review alongside Amy Burns? Having my work beautifully illustrated in Lost In Thought magazine? Working with Literary Orphans? I think I might go with the whirlwind of "Wild". Yes. That's the one.
And how about a favourite moment from 2012 generally?
Despite being close to the sea, family, fried pizza, and the glorious Carrick Hills we never felt at home in Scotland, so when my husband was offered a job in Manchester after 10 months in Ayr it made sense to move 'home' to Warrington. Although the process was horrible, it's just brilliant to be back beside the Mersey and only a couple of streets away from our old house, and surrounded by friends. Sure, Obama's re-election was a relief, and there's a new series of 'The Big Bang Theory' to revel in, but returning to the town we never should have left is the best thing about 2012 for us. That, and adopting a stumpy tailed cat called Coraline who has a 'thing' for yeast pate and stalks me as I work.
Favourite book in 2012?
I cuddled my own, does that count? No? Hmm, well, my little boy wrote something fairly disgusting called 'The Big Bad Pig' and illustrated it himself, including unusual porcine scenarios and plentiful poo. I read a few cracking books this year, but that would have to be my favourite.
Favourite film of 2012?
'Prometheus' – not so much the feature itself as the 'Happy Birthday David!' teaser trailer that's available online. I watched it over and over on my laptop and marvelled at Fassbender and the creepy beauty of his performance. I don't get to the cinema often since I had my son, usually only for 10am re-runs of cheesy children's movies, but I had to make an exception for 'Prometheus'. For all its flaws, I'm glad I did.
Favourite song of the year?
There's three songs I can think of that I've looped while writing this year for different pieces (quite apart from Radiohead's 'OK Computer' album for a book). Marina and the Diamonds' "I Am Not A Robot", the Glee version of "Cough Syrup", and Grizzly Bear's "Ready Able". That's about as current as I get – my heart's still stuck in the indie scene of the 1990s.
Any downsides for you in 2012?
Lack of time. Homesickness for Warrington (now resolved – yay!).
Are you making resolutions for 2013?
I have an ongoing, ever-increasing To Do list that I resolve to reduce on a daily basis. I think my husband would like me to shave my legs more frequently. That's about it.
What are you hoping for from 2013?
An agent who feeds my Twix 'n' Nutella habit and book deals aplenty – well, to have my Warrington crime thriller, children's book, non-fiction Victorian shipwreck book, YA ghost story, and 1930s marine thriller novel sold and on a shelf near you!
Come and say hi or tell me a joke on Facebook or via a tweet @gillhoffs

Lesson Plan
Activity Plan 5-6: Book-Character Homes
How would a mouse house differ from a cat cabin? Children will find out with this creative building activity!
- building materials including wooden, plastic, and cardboard blocks
- books featuring characters of varying sizes and shapes including Clifford books by Norman Bridwell, Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff (HarperCollins, 2003; $3.99), and Miss Spider's Tea Party* by David Kirk (Scholastic Inc $6.74)
- drawing paper
- pencils, markers, crayons
- tape and string
- camera and film
Objective: Children will develop creative-thinking, social, language, math, and motor skills as they work together to create buildings for characters from favorite books.
1. Choose a variety of favorite classroom books that have characters of different sizes and shapes like dinosaurs, giants, large animals, tiny people or animals, fish or sea animals, spiders, and other insects.
2 Place the books in front of the children. Ask them to name some of the different characters, then ask them to imagine constructing a building for one of the characters. How would you build a home for Clifford, Danny's dinosaur, or a big bear? What would a home look like for a wiggly snake or Miss Spider? How would these different homes look alike? Different? Encourage children to share their ideas.
3 Divide children into small groups and tell them that they will make a house for a favorite book character. Plan a schedule with the class so they will know which day they will be working on their construction.
4 Allow each group adequate time to plan and build. Give children paper, writing materials, tape, and string to use if needed. Encourage them to incorporate other classroom materials to enhance their building.
5 Invite each group to present their finished building. If space allows keep the building up for the day to allow children to play with their structures. Photograph each group with their building, then ask children to write about them. Create a wall display in the block area to document the project. The writings and photographs can later be made into a classroom book to add to the block area.
Curriculum Connection: MATH
Let's Measure Our Buildings. Before the children dismantle their buildings, give them different measuring tools including a tape measure, yardstick, and ruler. Show them how to identify and count inches on each tool. Then, ask children to measure the length and height of their buildings. Record their information on chart paper. After they have all completed and measured their buildings, review the different measurements with the class. Encourage children to compare the information and create a summary sheet.

A US Navy veteran who has suffered multiple spine and neck fractures and was left barely able to walk has been rehabilitated with the help of a dog.
Jack Cotter, 70, has had two hip replacements, a knee replacement, neck and spine fractures, a heart attack and suffers from severe muscle cramps, which left him hardly able to take ten steps, US TODAY reports.
Between 1964 and 1970 Mr Cotter served on submarines in the Navy, where two incidents left him with serious spinal injuries, worsened by continuing to work.
"In those days, if you weren't bleeding, you weren't hurt," he told US TODAY.
Now Mr Cotter says he is recognised as "100 percent permanently and totally disabled", but was able to get back on his feet with the help of his nine-year-old dog Tucker.
He discovered Tucker, a rescue dog found by a friend, at just the right time, when he was feeling "devastated and embarrassed" by his condition.
It was the new, energetic puppy that helped Mr Cotter to walk again.
"He'd pull me a few steps more, and then more, and pretty soon we were walking a long way," he said.
Now Mr Cotter and Tucker compete in American Kennel Club (AKC) agility competitions together, and this year the pup was named the number one AKC dog, for the fifth year running.
Mr Cotter described Tucker as a lifesaver for the canine's success in helping him train for agility competitions.
"I could have never done this back in 2007," he said.
"I was having a hard time walking ten feet without my crutches, and I couldn't bend over."

Recipe for the shrimp chowder that I ate for days.
1 bunch green onion tops slices (4-5)
1/2 tsp minced garlic (or 1 clove)
3 TBSP butter
12 oz cream cheese - room temperature
3 cans cream of potato soup
3 soup cans of milk
1 can of corn, including liquid
1/2 tsp to 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 pound shrimp (shell off)
Saute onion and garlic in butter in large pot. Add cream cheese and cook on low until melted (or very soft). Stir in soup, then stir in milk one can at a time. Add cayenne pepper. Simmer 1/2 hour. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp is cooked and pink.
I also boil four extra potatoes with skin on, just like you would cook them for mashed potatoes. Then I add them when I add the shrimp.
I had No Spend Days on Friday and Saturday. Friday night we went for a bike ride after work. It was a very nice ride on the paved path near our house.
Saturday was the HOA meeting (I am so glad that is over) and then we went boating. We didn't get home until 6. Boyfriend then washed his boat while I did some house cleaning.
Today we woke up early and went to the trails. He rode his bike with a buddy while I ran. Then we stopped at the grocery store and I spent $25, which will get us through this week and most of next. I will probably need to buy milk, water, and maybe bread for next week.
