I was making a few GUIs in preparation for an upcoming Java test and one of the method my professor showed us was setMnemonic, which can take in either an integer or char value. I use NetBeans as my IDE and the Javadoc it provides seems unusual. For setMnemonic(char mnemonic), it says the method is obsolete and to instead use setMnemonic(int mnemonic). I have 3 questions:
1) Does the JDK no longer support setMnemonic(char mnemonic) or simply advising to not use it?
2) Do other IDEs provide the same information and do they support the method?
3) Are there other primitive methods that are also described as being obsolete?

Currently, while still drawing portraits, I spend much of my time creating realistic illustrations that reflect my love of colour, shape, and line. I live in a rural area and am inspired by my surroundings. Much of my work is sold online, either as is, or by being printed onto a variety of objects. I have the equipment in my studio to make large fridge magnets and coasters and sell hundreds of them each year to happy customers.

Bank 'Stress Tests' Need Transparency
As the bank stress tests are released, it is vital that the public receive specific and detailed information on each financial institution. The Administration's and the Federal Reserve's continued policy of attempting to disguise the differing health of each bank has been a failure. What is best for the taxpayer and the investing public is sufficient information to separate the good banks from the bad.
For those institutions which lack sufficient capital to remain solvent, they should seek private capital or else be closed and resolved. Too many taxpayer dollars have already been wasted keeping alive failed institutions. The Administration's policy of keeping failed institutions on taxpayer-financed life-support only serves to retard the market's ability to move assets away from those who do not, or cannot, make productive use of them toward those who can. It is time to remember that the unparalleled wealth-creating engine of the market depends as much on allowing failure as it does in encouraging success.
Banks passing the stress tests should be allowed and encouraged to re-pay their TARP funds as soon as possible, and with no additional strings attached. More importantly, the Administration should use any returned TARP funds to pay-down the increasing government debt, rather than be diverted to bailing-out other failed companies.

DUBLIN — It appears that Dublin police did not want to touch the charges against rapper MC Hammer.
Taking to his Twitter audience to announce the news Friday, MC Hammer, whose birth name is Stanley Kirk Burrell, simply stated: "Thank You to all my friends and supporters. All CHARGES DECLINED. Dropped. Have A great Weekend. #OutOnBail."
Dublin police could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hammer, 50, has kept his 3.1 million followers on Twitter up-to-date on his feelings and the goings-on in the bizarre case that began Feb. 23 when he was pulled over by Dublin police and subsequently arrested on suspicion of obstructing an officer in the performance of their duties and resisting an officer.
On Twitter, the artist best known for his 1990 hit "U Can't Touch This" lashed out at police, saying the arrest was unjustified and even suggesting he was accosted without cause by a "chubby elvis looking dude" who he said tapped "on my car window," and, when Hammer rolled his window down, the officer asked, "Are you on parole or probation?"
Dublin police have refuted Hammer's claims, saying the rapper was blasting his car stereo and was also driving a vehicle that was not registered under his name.
When Hammer became uncooperative and argumentative, police said, they arrested him.
Check back for updates.

Residential Properties Recycling Services
Berkeley Recycling Program Now Includes All Plastic Containers
Berkeley's residential and commercial curbside recycling programs now accept any clean, rigid plastic containers. This includes the Ecology Center's residential curbside collection, the City's commercial recycling collection, and drop-off of recyclables at the City-owned Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) operated by the Community Conservation Center (CCC).
For complete details on plastics that are acceptable and are not acceptable for recycling - go to the Berkeley Recyclng Services page.
The Ecology Center provides the City's residential recycling collection for properties with 1 - 9 units; for additional information or service questions, please contact them by phone at (510) 527-5555 or by email to email@example.com.
Properties with 10 or more units receive commercial services; for additional information see Commercial Recycling Services.
There is no recycling collection on these holidays: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year's Day. On these holidays, collection will be 1-day later.
Poaching: the removal of recyclable materials from curbside is a crime that deprives the City's recycling program of needed revenue. Please report recycling theft to the Ecology Center at (510) 527-5555, and include a description of the poacher, vehicle license number and/or description of poacher's vehicle if possible. For your safety, do not confront the thieves. Discourage poaching by setting out your material on collection morning instead of the night before.
Compost Program
Plant Debris, Food Waste and Food Soiled Papers can be composted in your green cart. For more information, see Plant Debris & Food Waste Collection, which includes information about Home Composting. You can also contact Customer Service.
The City offers a bulky waste pick-up by appointment once a year for residents in properties with 1 - 4 units. For more information, see Bulky Waste Pick-up Guidelines or contact Customer Service to schedule an appointment.
Back to Top
Recycling for Residential Properties with 10 or more Units
Multi-Family Recycling: The Alameda County Mandatory Recycling Ordinance requires that all residential properties with 5 or more units have adequate recycling service and information for their tenants. City crews collect recyclables from apartment buildings of 10 or more units as part of Commercial Recycling Services. Blue rolling recycling carts are provided for glass, cans and plastic bottles and for mixed paper and cardboard.
Posters for recycling areas and replacement recycling cart stickers are available by calling Customer Service at 311 (or 510-981-7270). These informative Recycling Posters, and Recycling Guides for Property Managers and Tenants, will support you in meeting mandatory recycling requirements. For additional details, see this Alameda County Recycling web page: http://www.recyclingrulesac.org/.
To request new recycling service or a change in service, Property Owners or Managers for buildings with 10 or more units can call 311 in Berkeley (or 510-981-7270) or send an email to Customer Service. See additional online information at Customer Service. City staff will conduct a site visit to verify service needs, set-out locations and service days.
All recycling carts are collected at the curb, and Property Managers must arrange for carts to be placed there by 7:00 AM on their assigned service day, and removed from the curb within 24 hours of service. Large apartment buildings that may warrant large metal bin service for paper & cardboard can request review and approval by the site inspector.
Property Managers: you should make recycling convenient for tenants and ideally in the same location as the refuse bin; also, make sure there is adequate refuse service, and address any recycling contamination issues to prevent a lapse or discontinuance of recycling service.
The City also provides green compost carts for Multi-Family Organics collection of plant debris and/or food scraps. Organics collection is charged at 80% of the refuse rate.

It seems impossible, but the trailer for "No Strings Attached" -- the romcom directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher -- is a disappointment.
She's a doctor who needs someone "who I don't have to eat breakfast with." He's a cad. They've been best friends forever. And then they get it on.
After all the fuss about Liz Meriwether's awesome script -- it made the 2008 Black List (PDF) under its original title, F--- Buddies" --it's a bummer to see what's become of it. Maybe the script was good, but the 150 seconds we've been offered are flat and unfunny. It's kind tough to watch, frankly.
That an actress of Portman's stature would get into bed with someone like Kutcher is a puzzle. Yes, he's man pretty, has a flair of leveraging social media and has developed a couple of successful reality TV shows. But the guy's filmography is a graveyard.
"Killers" was his most recent disaster in a career marked by them. Everyone of his 16 films for which there's a score on Rotten Tomatoes have fallen short of 50%. Here's guessing "No Strings Attached" keeps his streak alive.

Nah! They're not physicists, they're mathematicians!
One of them wrote the proof of the theorem, which ran to twenty pages, and the rest all agreed that it was a "marvelous proof", rather than admit they didn't understand it.
They then wrote a simulation of that theorem in distributed Concurrent Haskell and ran it at 1000 times real-time speed on a massively parallel computing cloud, to show how it would work. They simulated everything. Markets; bears; bulls; oil-prices; OJ & pork-belly futures; war-zones & disasters; government changes; local and global economy heath; employment trends; factory gate prices; the macro and micro economic decisions taken by the major central banks around the world; and a zillion other influences.
Unfortunately, rather than risk the purity of their model with potentially corrupted data from the outside world, they simulated the market with a sophisticated Maybe Monad wrapped around a PRNG. But being a greedy algorithm running over a lazy list on an ethereal system, the result was inevitable :)
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

When Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor released his budget projections a few weeks ago, he tempered the good news with words of caution. "We've given priority towards being careful about the additional commitments you make in the near term, and using those monies that we see coming in – those operating surpluses – to give the reserve a very high priority."
Governor Jerry Brown has repeatedly insisted on keeping spending levels down, to break what he calls California's "boom and bust" cycle. "It's cruel to lead people on by expanding good programs, only to cut them back when the funding disappears. This isn't progress; it's not even progressive. It's an illusion," he said in his January State of the State address.
But with the state apparently headed for years of multi-billion dollar surpluses, Chris Hoene with the California Budget Project says it's time to reinvest in programs like welfare and child care that were devastated during the recession.
"In many respects, policy makers are using this volatility argument as a crutch to say, let's be cautious. But we're at really low levels on a whole array of services, and so a little more aggressive behavior would be okay," Hoene says.
That view has support from many legislative Democrats – setting the stakes for the budget battle that will begin early next year.

Recovery Made Simple
we bridge the gap
Designed by orthopedic specialists, Trainer Rx helps healthcare providers maintain strong patient relationships throughout the lifecycle of an injury. Medical professionals can use Trainer Rx tools and protocols to achieve better patient experiences, greater satisfaction and improved outcomes
injury to recovery
Prepopulated protocols called "pathways" – which are compiled using peer reviewed and published protocols – lead patients through the nuances of their specific injuries. Each pathway ties directly to a diagnosis, ensuring accurate, injury-appropriate information.
every step of the way
Sessions include clear audio, video, and text based instructions, which lead patients through rehabilitation pathways derived from a patent pending computer driven response system. A dashboard display is provided for both healthcare providers and patients, to easily see progress, achievements, goals and rewards.
For me getting patients on Trainer Rx spine exercises is like a dream come true.

How Trainer Rx Works
We create custom workout pathways that take patients from injury to recovery.

- Sessions
- Communication

- Sessions
- Communication
Whether it's a broken ankle or a torn ACL, an injury can change a patient's life forever. From the moment of occurrence, the road to recovery following injury can feel like a daunting process.
Patients often don't understand or remember all that was said at the time of their evaluation. Trainer Rx empowers them with up-to-date information from the moment of diagnosis.
After logging in, the patient receives a customized recovery pathway. Prior to beginning the first round of exercises, patients read a detailed overview of the pathway, including instructions on what to expect.
Sessions are customized based on patient feedback, which allows the individual to move at a pace that feels comfortable. Depending on the amount of time chosen by the patient, each session can last between ten minutes and a full hour.
We provide improved care coordination and accountability. Patients are empowered, understanding their diagnosis, treatment and what it takes to recover, every day. Goals, rewards and badges add an element of fun, to keep them motivated. The doctor and patient dashboard clearly displays the results of each session, including participation, progress, achievements and difficulties.
Trainer Rx gives patients a tool to rehabilitate their injury. By the end of the pathway, the patient will be back to work or sport feeling better than ever.
rehabilitation and recovery pathways
Our research based protocols reflect the most appropriate, forward thinking rehabilitation available today. Exercises advance as patients improve in strength, coordination and balance, when the patient indicates readiness. Biology of healing is always taken into consideration.
patient/provider dashboard
The Trainer Rx experience begins with the dashboard. Patients set goals, receive rewards, engage in daily workouts, track progress and provide validated outcome data. This information is then shared with any member of the recovery team.
custom exercise content
Each pathway offers a series of video exercises tailored to the injury. Stunning HD video with audio and text, highlights each exercise and includes detailed instructions on form and movement.
perioperative instructions
Patients receive detailed information about what to expect before and after surgery. This includes detailed video direction on how to perform activities, such as wound care, showering, assisted walking, cast care and how to integrate recovery exercises before and after a planned operation. These are the FAQ's of perioperative care.
outcomes data
At designated intervals, patients will receive a series of questions related to their injury. These are subjective, validated questionnaires from the literature based on clinical diagnosis or a surgical procedure.
Who We Are
Who We Are
As orthopedic specialists, we know that getting back out there isn't easy. It requires strength, determination and the right information. That's why we have designed a novel, much needed technological approach to help healthcare providers communicate essential information to their patients, from injury to recovery.
As avid recreational enthusiasts and athletes, we understand what it's like to deal with long and often painful recoveries. Our decades of collective experience treating patients and athletes, up to the highest professional level, puts us in a unique position to understand the perspectives of both healthcare providers and patients. We strive to deliver positive outcomes for everyone who suffers from a debilitating injury. We believe it's possible to get back out there—stronger and better than ever.

Heroin-like drug Krokodil appears in Summit County, say Dillon police
During an Election Day meeting of the Dillon Town Council, Interim Police Chief Brian Brady said he's noticed the arrival of a disturbing new drug on the streets of Summit County.
Although the recent filling of numerous department vacancies has resulted in more officers on the street — resulting in fewer reports of street crimes like burglaries, automobile breakins and trespass violations — arrests have skyrocketed in other criminal areas. So far this year, Dillon police officers have made 61 arrests compared with just 20 through September 2012.
A bulk of those arrests have been alcohol-related traffic offenses, such as driving-under-the-influence infractions, Brady said.
The increase in those arrests is thanks to a Colorado Department of Transportation grant that provided Dillon with the funds it needed to ramp up enforcement.
Although getting dangerous drivers off the road is a good thing, Brady said, officers also have noticed an increase in drug-related arrests. But the arrests are not tied to the relatively tame herb, as they were in the past, Brady said.
Since marijuana's legalization earlier this year, Dillon police officers are seeing an increase in the amount of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and heroin, as well as a less commonly known heroin alternative called "Krokodil" — pronounced "crocodile" — on the streets of Dillon.
Krokodil is a codeine-based drug often mixed with lighter fluid, gasoline or household cleansers that is said to produce heroin-like effects at a fraction of the cost.
It gets its name from green-tinted lesions that occur on the body at injection sites.
"We're seeing a trend big time and that's what worries me about the marijuana thing," Brady said. "I'm not necessarily opposed to (retail marijuana), but when people want a bigger high they tend to mix it with something.
"Come Jan. 1, buying marijuana is going to be as easy as buying a carton of milk. Are people going to be satisfied with the high or should we expect drugs like Krokodil to become the next long-term problem?"
In addition to the discovery of Krokodil on the streets of Dillon, the interim chief also talked about stepped up parking enforcement in the town. As one might guess, increased officers on the streets has resulted in the writing of more parking tickets in a town already known for parking disputes among its visitors and residents and local law enforcement.
To date, Dillon Police Department officers have written 267 tickets, up from 197 through September 2012.
"Parking citations are way up because we got rid of 72-hour parking lots near Lodgepole Street and moved to all permit parking," Brady said. "We had a lot of people parking illegally because they were either rebelling against the change or because they didn't know about it.
"City Market also has been calling us a lot lately because of cars parked in handicapped spots or in the fire lanes."
But the number of parking tickets being written should go down considerably in the coming months, Brady said, due in part to direction from town council to issue more warnings, as well as the coming winter season. To date, Dillon Police Department has issued 405 traffic warnings compared with 339 through this time last year.
"Inside the town core we never write tickets; we always issue warnings," Brady said. "Parking citations are going to go down considerably because we have a mandatory tow policy during the winter, so we can clear roads of snow."

In the East, the Great Feminine has always been held in high esteem, not as a secondary source of power but as the primal power—the shakti that flows through our bodies and all of nature. Centuries ago, the seers and sages of India observed that particular chanted prayers—Sanskrit mantras—connect us with this feminine energy and increase its potency. Now, with Namadeva Acharya's Shakti Mantras, we can all benefit from this ancient practice.

Folk Rock
The roots of folk rock can be detected in a few pre-1965 recordings by the Seachers and Jackie DeShannon (who helped introduce the ringing, circular 12-string guitar riffs yhat become one of the music's major trademarks), as well as the Beau Brummels, the Animals superb bluesy inerpretation of traditional folk standard "The House of the Rising Sun", and Beatles' own "I'm a Looser". It took, the Byrds however, to really kick the movement into gear with their electric version of Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man", which topped the charts in mid-1965.[1]
The "rock" in folk rock was always more prominent than the "folk"; all of the above acts had a highly commercial sense of melody, grafting, guitar patterns and somewhat more personal, topical lyrical concerns from folk music into their own superb pop/rock creations. Performers approaching the hybrid from the folk side were less frequent and less commercially successful, but singer/songwriters like Fred, Neil, Phil Ochs, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian & Sylvia, Richard & Mimi Farina, and others proved willing and able to electrify their sound with positive commercial and artistic results.[1]
While folk rock's commercial heyday was in1965 and 1966, in truth it has been a strong presence in rock ever since, fading only a marketing term for a sound that was initially perceived by the industry as a fad, not a permanent addition to the rock & roll lexicon. In 1967, L.A. bands Buffalo Springfield and Love would release classic recordings that drew upon folk rock as their core, adding elements of eclecticism and psychedelia. In late '60s, British groups like Fairport Convention and Pentangle achieved perhaps the purest folk rock blend, with nearly equal balances, between the electric and the acoustic, and between modern compositions and traditional numbers.[1]

Cirrhosis (say "suh-ROH-sus") is a very serious condition in which healthy tissue in the liver is replaced with scar tissue. The scarring keeps the liver from working as it should. For example, the liver may stop making clotting factors, which can lead to bleeding problems. Bile and poisons may build up in the blood. The scarring can also cause high blood pressure in the vein that carries blood to the liver.

Reversing its role as the world's fastest-growing buyer of United States Treasuries and other foreign bonds, the Chinese government actually sold bonds heavily in January and February before resuming purchases in March, according to data released during the weekend by China's central bank.
China's foreign reserves grew in the first quarter of this year at the slowest pace in nearly eight years, edging up $7.7 billion, compared with a record increase of $153.9 billion in the same quarter last year.
China has lent vast sums to the United States — roughly two-thirds of the central bank's $1.95 trillion in foreign reserves are believed to be in American securities. But the Chinese government now finances a dwindling percentage of new American mortgages and government borrowing.
In the last two months, Premier Wen Jiabao and other Chinese officials have expressed growing nervousness about their country's huge exposure to America's financial well-being.
Chinese reserves fell a record $32.6 billion in January and $1.4 billion more in February before rising $41.7 billion in March, according to figures released by the People's Bank over the weekend. A resumption of growth in China's reserves in March suggests, however, that confidence in that country may be reviving, and capital flight could be slowing.

The Story Begins…
The beautiful gypsy Carmen warns any man who loves her to beware. But she does not anticipate the furious passion that she will unleash when she seduces Don José, a corporal with the army in Seville.
A Spanish Festival of Passion
Francesca Zambello's production, with warm terracotta-painted sets and traditional Spanish costumes by Tanya McCallin, brings 19th-century Seville to life in all its bustle, heat and excitement. Striking dramatic scenes include the fierce fight between Carmen and one of her fellow workers in Act I, the performance of the flamenco-dancing gypsies and Escamillo's entrance on horseback in Act II and the grand religious procession at the start of Act IV as Escamillo prepares to enter the bullring.
Exotic Melodies and Memorable Motifs
Much of Bizet's score for Carmen has a Hispanic flavour, above all in Carmen's arias. Three of her four arias are inspired by Spanish dance rhythms, and the first, the 'Habanera', uses a 19th-century Spanish melody. Bizet also uses memorable motifs in his score, including one representing fate, first heard in the overture, which as it returns comes to signify the tormented and tragic passion of Don José for Carmen.
The French Connection
Bizet took the plot of Carmen from the novella of the same name by the French civil servant, archaeologist and writer Prosper Mérimée, who claimed that he had been inspired by a true story. Bizet and his librettists strengthened the romantic elements in Mérimée's story by inventing Micaëla, the pure young girl in love with Don José, and by transforming a minor character with whom Carmen has a fling into her final lover, the larger-than-life torero Escamillo.
International Acclaim
Although Carmen had only lukewarm success at its premiere in 1875, it was soon being championed by composers as significant as Tchaikovsky and Brahms, and by the 1880s was being performed throughout Europe. Carmen is the second most performed opera in The Royal Opera's repertory and was the first piece performed by the Company after World War II.
Carmen runs from 19 October–30 November 2015. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with the generous philanthropic support of Martin and Jane Houston and The Royal Opera House Endowment Fund.

Trying to Make Sense of the English Language
For many reasons (most of them too ugly to go into here), English is a pretty tough language to learn. If you're a native speaker of English, you're probably familiar with the idiosyncrasies that make the language so downright mind-boggling. If you're a nonnative speaker, you may lack the familiarity that native speakers have. Either way, the following sections offer a very basic explanation for why English words are the way they are. Understanding how English words are formed and where they come from can help when you come up against unfamiliar words.
Borrowing words from other speakers
One of the things that makes the English language so rich (and sometimes so overwhelming) is that English words come from — or are influenced by — lots of different languages.
The English language is essentially a Germanic language. (Other Germanic languages are German, Dutch, Flemish, and the Scandinavian languages.) English has a lot of words that reach back to its German roots: ox, cow, meadow, grass, pig, king, knife, knight, and skirmish are just a few. But, being the accommodating language that it is, English absorbed and adopted words (and parts of words) from lots of other languages, too, like Latin, Greek, French, and Spanish.
Tree, for example, comes from Old German. In English, the word tree means, well, "tree." We also use the word arbor, which is the Latin word for tree, to mean "tree." Arbor Day is a day for planting trees. So, in English, if you know what tree means, and you know that arbor is another word for tree, you know that anytime you see arbor in a word, that word has something to do with trees. What it has to do with trees depends on what prefixes and suffixes the word uses (the topic of the next section).
English has adopted numerous words from other languages. (Garage, for example, is actually a French word; piano is an Italian word.) And if English didn't adopt the whole word, as is the case with many Greek and Latin words, it probably took parts of it. Hexagon uses two Greek elements: hexa meaning "six," and gon meaning "angles." Triumvirate uses Latin elements: trium meaning "three," vir meaning "man," and -ate, a suffix meaning "acted upon in a specific way." A hexagon is a six-sided object; a triumvirate is a group of three people who are in power in some context.
Breaking out word elements: Prefixes, roots, and suffixes
A strong understanding of common prefixes, roots, and suffixes can go a long way toward improving your vocabulary. The root is a word's foundation. Prefixes and suffixes are elements that are attached to the root to shape the word's meaning. For example, one of the most common prefixes is un-, which means "not or against." Stick that prefix in front of almost any word, and you have that word's opposite:
patriotic –> unpatriotic (not patriotic)
predictable –> unpredictable (not able to be predicted)
reliable –> unreliable (not reliable)
Suffixes come at the end of the word and usually indicate what part of speech the word is. (Knowing the part of speech is important, not only for defining a word but also for using it correctly.) Using the earlier example of the Latin root arbor (meaning "tree"), you can assemble a lot of different words simply by attaching different suffixes:
- Arboreous uses the suffix -ous, which means "full of." So that word means — you guessed it — "full of trees." The -ous suffix makes adjectives (adjectives modify people, places, or things):
Correct: The terrain was dark and arboreous.
Incorrect: If a tree falls in the arboreous and no one is around to hear, does it still make a noise?
- Arboreal means "of or relating to trees." The suffix -al means "of or relating to" and turns words into adjectives:
Correct: Arboreal animals live in trees.
Incorrect: The animal lives in an arboreal.
- An arborist is one who works with and cares for trees. The suffix -ist means "one who does." As such, -ist makes the word a noun.
Correct: We had to call in an arborist to help us transplant the trees in the back yard.
Incorrect: The arborist book shows all kinds of trees.
Both prefixes and suffixes modify the root. By knowing what each element means, you can get a general idea of the word's definition, which is often all you need to make sense of what's being said or read.
Assembling blended words
In addition to taking words wholesale from other languages and combining roots with prefixes and suffixes to make words, English also creates words by sticking two complete words together. By knowing what each word means by itself, you can get a general idea of what the combined (or compound)word means. Check out these examples:
backbone = spine
freshman = first-year student
eggshell = exterior of an egg
cost-effective = economical
bedspread = comforter
Sometimes, when the words come together, a few letters get squeezed out. These types of words are called portmanteau words:
agriculture + business = agribusiness (business related to farming)
basket + cart = bascart (shopping cart)
cafeteria + auditorium = cafetorium (area used as both a cafeteria and an auditorium)
tangerine + lemon = tangemon (hybrid fruit of a tangerine and a lemon)
You may not use any of these hybrid words every day, but seeing how they're composed can help you decipher other portmanteau words you come across.
Figuring out English oddities, peculiarities, and quirks
Here's the rub — and it's a particularly abrasive one for people who are learning English as a second language: Sometimes, there's no way, other than context, to tell what an English word means. Why? Because English is full of oddities.
The result of such a rich linguistic heritage — English words, German words, French words, Spanish words, Greek and Latin words, word parts from everywhere, combined words, blended words, and so on — is that the English language has few rules you can rely on all the time:
- Many words spelled similarly don't sound alike. Bomb, comb, and womb don't rhyme with each other: You say "bom,"kohm,"and "woom."Sometimes, words spelled exactly the same are pronounced differently: tear (teer), "a teardrop," and tear (tehr), "to rip," for example.
- Many words spelled differently do sound alike: Write, right, and rite are all pronounced the same but mean different things. These types of words are called homophones.
- One word can have various meanings: Pool (the place to swim), pool (the billiards game), pool (to put together) — and that's not even all of the definitions of pool. These types of words are called homonyms, and English is absolutely full of them.
These types of odd words plague all English speakers, native and otherwise. When you come up against them, the best you can do is use the context of what is being said or written, or, if you still aren't sure, head to a dictionary.

Belgium top group, will play U.S.
Defender Jan Vertonghen struck in the 78th minute to hand 10-man Belgium a 1-0 triumph over South Korea on Thursday in Curitiba.
Belgium's third straight win at the World Cup clinched top spot in Group H for the Red Devils and set up a meeting with the United States in the round of 16.
- Delaney: Three Points on Belgium-South Korea
Belgium lost Steven Defour to a red card in the 44th minute after the Porto midfielder's reckless tackle on Kim Shin-Wook.
South Korea's best chance to score came before the hour mark when Lee Chung-Yong's cross-turned-shot hit the crossbar with Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois already beaten.
The result eliminated South Korea, who had progressed past the group stages in two of the past three World Cups.
With Belgium having already advanced heading into the game, coach Marc Wilmots rested some players and made seven changes to the team that beat Russia 1-0.
South Korea coach Hong Myung-Bo made just two alterations to the side that fell 4-2 to Algeria, including Kim Seung-Gyu replacing Jung Sung-Ryong in goal.
The Europeans dominated possession but had to wait until the 25th minute to create their first real chance.
Dries Mertens should have given his side a lead when he got behind a rebound in the six-yard box but he struck his effort over the bar with only Kim Seung-Gyu left to beat.
The Taeguk Warriors almost broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark but Courtois dived to his right to clear Ki Sung-Yeung's powerful drive from 30 yards.
Seconds later, Mertens made a goal-line clearance from Son Heung-Min's close-range header with Courtois unable to get his hands on the ball.
Mertens, who was active at both ends of the pitch, then tested Kim Seung-Gyu with a right-footed volley from outside the area which the keeper saved.
Before the break, Australian referee Ben Williams gave Defour his marching orders after the player stamped on Kim Shin-Wook's right shin.
The Asians made one substitution at halftime with striker Lee Keun-Ho replacing Han Kook-Young.
Keun-Ho almost made an immediate impact when he headed Lee Chung-Yon's cross from the right just over the bar.
Before the hour mark, Lee Chung-Yon surprised Courtois when his long-range attempt crashed off the woodwork.
Wilmots made a double substitution soon after with Nacer Chadli and Divock Origi entering the pitch.
Origi wasted little time in helping Belgium take the lead.
His right-footed shot from 20 yards was kept out by Kim Seung-Gyu but the keeper could not hold onto the ball and Vertonghen was on hand to smash the ball into the back of the net.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Belgium held on for the win.

July 23: Euro Centric Fears Return - Economic Highlights
Europe is again in the news this morning, with Spain centric fears reminding investors that the region's problems are far from settled. With yields on Spanish government bonds reaching Euro-era highs, market participants are justifiably wondering whether the government will need much more than a banking lifeline.
These fears are showing up in the government markets of Italy and Germany as well, with yields on the former moving up and shorter maturities of the latter now in negative territory. This is a clear sign of heightened market anxieties that investors are paying the German government for lending it money. It is not much different this side of the Atlantic either, with yields on U.S. Treasury instruments at historically low levels.
These low yield levels are likely key contributors to the Fed's hesitation to announce more QE despite market clamor. These calls on the Fed will only increase in the coming days as more evidence of economic slowdown shows up. We don't have a particularly busy economic calendar this week, though the first read on the second quarter GDP on Friday morning will show sharp deceleration in growth. Consensus expectations are for the GDP report to show a growth rate of 1.3%, compared to 1.9% in the first quarter and 3% in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Estimates for the second quarter GDP kept coming down in recent weeks in response to soft incoming data, but the same for the third quarter and beyond still remain north of 2%. Downward adjustments to those expectations will be a key risk factor in the coming days. Other major economic reports on deck this week include New Home sales for June (Wednesday), Durable Goods Orders for June (Thursday), Jobless Claims (Thursday) and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey for July on Friday.
We also get into the thick of the second quarter earnings season this week, with reports from more than 850 companies coming out, including more than 160 companies in the S&P 500, taking us past the halfway mark by the end of this week. The results thus far have belied pre-season fears of sharp deterioration in corporate earnings. In fact, by most measures, the second quarter earnings season may not be that different from what we saw in the preceding two quarters. That said, a couple of things do stand out. Companies are finding it difficult to achieve top-line gains in the face of the synchronized global slowdown. The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other major currencies, primarily a function of the flight-to-safety trade, is proving as another headwind for companies.
We have seen these two elements show up repeatedly in quarterly reports in recent days, including this morning's reports from McDonald's ( MCD ) and Eaton Corp. ( ETN ). We will get results from a number of companies that are effectively pure plays on the global economic outlook, including Caterpillar ( CAT ), DuPont ( DD ), and UPS ( UPS ). But it is perhaps fair to assume that the mighty Apple ( AAPL ), which reports after the close on Tuesday, is immune from these trends.
