Bournemouth and Hull City has boosted their respective hopes of staying up in the Premier League after registering victories in their respective fixture this week.
It was also an important one for Bournemouth as the team managed to secure their first win in the calendar year — a 3-2 victory against West Ham United, thanks to Joshua King's hat-trick despite missing two penalties.
King had missed from the spot after Marc Pugh was fouled early on, and 48 seconds later West Ham took the lead when Michail Antonio swept a low shot into the bottom corner.
Another spot kick came to Bournemouth after Marc Pugh was fouled but again it was squandered as Darren Randolph saved Benik Afobe's effort.
Even then, the hosts did not let their heads drop and their spirit was rewarded as they went level with King hooking the ball over his marker before volleying home. He then made it 2-1 with a close range finish just after the break.
Andre Ayew seemed to have earn a draw for West Ham with a placed finished late on but King stole the points deservedly when he thumped the ball into the roof of the net after Randolph had denied substitute Jack Wilshere.
As Bournemouth moved above Leicester City to a more secure spot at 30 points with 10 games to go, Hull City too won a vital match for the full 3 points.
Playing against fellow strugglers Swansea City, Oumar Niasse scored a brace for the Tigers in the space of nine minutes to secure a 2-1 win even as Swansea defender Alfie Mawson pulled one back in injury time.
Hull are now level on points against Leicester City on 27 at 16th place, although the Foxes have a game in hand against the Swans.

This just seems like the most frustrating thing. Why do women's sexual organs start to attack their host? I have been having this pain on my right side for about two weeks and it has finally become unbearable. I went to the see the nurse practitioner this morning. My regular doctor is on maternity leave. The nurse practitioner is named Paulette and was a total glamazon, I loved her, styling from head to toe. You could take bad news from a girl like her, you'd be so distracted by her cute capris and boots to care. I didn't get any bad news really, but I did have to go in for an ultrasound.

Attack of the Lady Bits!!!
So I went back to the hospital for an ultrasound later this afternoon. This all turned out sucky for me. First thing, I had to have a full bladder. My lady friends know how bad this, they push and glide the wand over your full bladder and it takes every ounce of strength not to pee everywhere. Second thing, my bladder wasn't full enough, so the tech had to use the other wand, the internal wand yuk! The technician was so upset and exasperated by this, frankly so was I. How do you know how full your bladder is? If you have too pee, then it should seem good enough, right? It never is, it's never simple. Third thing, the technician was rude. She was kind of annoyed about my abdominal plasty scar. Saying that the reason I was having this pain was because of scar tissue that could be forming around the scar. Yeah, that could happen, but I know that is not what is happening! I had my surgery months ago and have been healed for months. This pain just started two weeks ago. It was as if she was judging me because of getting plastic surgery. I wanted to yell at her, "Look you aren't a doctor, you have no idea when I had my surgery, and you have no idea what I am feeling! So keep your uneducated diagnosis to yourself." I didn't of course because I am a wimp, but I did say, "I would prefer to hear what the doctor has to say, thanks." People need to perform their work correctly and speak within the scope of their license. An ultrasound technician license does not make you a junior radiologist! It just doesn't!
So yeah that was my crap day. I think my ovary is attacking me and I got attitude from the ultasound technician. Uh! I won't know what is up with me until tomorrow. But I don't think it is anything serious. Probably just a cyst, I have had them before. I don't know why women have to deal with this stuff all the time. Cramps, blood, moods, cysts, babies, water weight enough all ready! Just be chill lady bits, please!

A murder at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Virginia, bears a close resemblance to one in Trondheim, Norway. The corpse of the museum curator in Virginia is found flayed in his office by the cleaning staff; the corpse of an archivist at the library in Norway, is found inside a locked vault used to store delicate and rare books. Richmond homicide detective Felicia Stone and Trondheim police inspector Odd Singsaker find themselves working on similar murder… (more)
Brekke's debut is a pretty gruesome tale with more than a few twists.
If you want a fun read, a bloody, but in many ways traditional, whodunit, pick up Where Monsters Dwell.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: New Zealand--Just hours before she was set to race, a horse by the name of Tulsy Tsan was yanked from the card at a Wellington, New Zealand, hippodrome. The problem? Track officials realized that the horse's name, when spelled backwards, may be offensive to certain people. The horse was quickly redubbed Ben Again, and was free to race again several days later. New Zealand Conference Spokesman Tim Aldridge admitted to the Evening Post last Thursday that risqué names on horses was a common practice: "We often have to seek help from the German or French language departments of Victoria University to clarify the meaning or pronunciation of names."
Dateline: Sicily--Two ski-masked bandits robbed a supermarket in Acireale, Sicily, recently, making off with approximately $400 in cash. Now, here's the cute part: The bandits brought with them a ski-masked kid of about six years old. During the robbery, the pre-pubescent pilferer tried to steal some candy but was too short to reach it on the counter. Awww.
Dateline: New Jersey--City officials in Stafford Township, N.J., last week lost a court case intended to silence a local ice cream vendor who insisted on playing "Turkey in the Straw" over and over again on his ice cream truck's loudspeaker. The vendor cited "free speech" laws. The township called the ceaseless jingle "a form of torture." Free speech (such as it is) won out.
Dateline: California--In other freedom-related news, the California Senate has refused to repeal a piece of Cold War-era legislation which allows the immediate firing of any state employee belonging to the Communist Party.
Dateline: Texas--Customs Service agents in Houston have busted what is certainly one of the more clever money-running schemes. During a routine scan of cargo on a Bogota, Colombia-bound flight, officials discovered some $1 million in cash stuffed into boxes of Monopoly and other board games. The boxes were even properly shrink-wrapped as if bound for store shelves. Despite the clever disguise, Customs agents recognized the cash as real. No one has been arrested yet in the Monopoly money scheme. If caught, the perpetrators will go directly to jail.
Dateline: Texas--KENS-TV in San Antonio has become the first station in America to refuse to air the upcoming Howard Stern TV show--despite the fact that it has yet to be written, shot or broadcast. CBS recently announced plans to air the sketch comedy/talk show sometime in the fall opposite the popular "Saturday Night Live."
Dateline: Michigan--Last Monday, a photo lab developer in Royal Oak, Mich., uncovered what he thought to be photographs of child pornography. The camera shop employee immediately alerted police and turned over forty-odd sexually explicit photos involving two nude women and what looked like a 10-year-old boy in a Chicago Bulls uniform. Police confiscated the film and sent officers to question a person who came to pick up the pictures. Turns out the "10-year-old boy" was actually a 23-year-old male with a "growth disorder." Police dropped the case after the disrobing dwarf went to a police station and showed his identification. No word on whether or not he got his photos back.

Growing up, I was a competitive swimmer. My first real job was as a lifeguard. As an adult, I don't think I've ever taken a vacation that didn't involve a lake, beach, or pool of some kind. I love the water and have owned hundreds of swimsuits and yet I've never worn a bikini -- until now.
Among my many fears about wearing a bikini for the first time -- at the slightly less than perky age of 37 -- was the fact that I've never seen a bikini that I thought could prevent my breasts from going rogue and popping out of the top at the first cannonball. Enter "The Princess" by GabiFresh. The folks at Swim Suits For All kindly sent me one designed for bra sizes G/H, which seemed like a very promising start. A promising and flamingo-covered start.
Once I was convinced that I was fully contained, I was ready to stress out about the next item on my mental worry list: actually leaving my yard and venturing to the pool where other people could see me.
Back when I was a high school swimmer, I chose my swimsuits based on how fast they'd make me. Since I've had kids and and put on more than a few extra pounds, I've chosen my swimsuits based on how much of me they cover. I've started choosing my suits apologetically, going to all-black skirted numbers designed to hide as much of my body as possible, lest people be uncomfortable with the sight of my size 20 hips.
Somewhere along the line, I stopped choosing suits because they were pretty. I certainly never chose something because it made me look sexy. When you are plus-sized, it is all too easy to feel like sexy isn't an option. And then I put on The Princess and, hello boobs!
More from The Stir: 11 Rad Plus-Size Clothing Stores You May Not Know About Yet
I wish I could say that the sight of my rocking rack filled me with such confidence that I marched into the community pool without even a cover-up on, but the truth is that it takes more than one afternoon in a cute swimsuit to get comfortable in my stretch-marked skin. The walk from the side of the pool where I abandoned my towel to the shallow section where my son was waiting for me seemed incredibly long. I dropped my towel and felt the unfamiliar sensation of a breeze on my exposed stomach. I sucked in as much as possible and hustled over to the pool.
For the next hour, my son and I played. I was a shark, trying to nibble his toes under the water. He was a cannonball, trying to make the biggest splash. We pretended to be submarines, and under the water I felt free, certain that nobody was watching me or, even worse, laughing at me in my bikini. When it came time to get out of the pool, I hesitated about making that long walk again. But my son's chattering teeth and slightly blue lips told me it was time to go and so I got out of the pool and tried to walk with a confidence I didn't feel back to my beloved cover-up.
As I drove home from the pool with my chlorine-scented boy chattering away about how he couldn't wait to go swimming again soon, it occurred to me that I had survived. Nobody pointed at me. Nobody laughed in my face. No parents covered their children's eyes in alarm at the sight of my virgin cleavage. I was just another mom at the pool with her kid.
I don't know if I'll wear the bikini the next time we go swimming. But I also know that I'm ditching the black-skirted "please don't look at me" suit. Confidence is a process. I'm not sure I'm all the way at bikini-level confidence yet, but I'm for sure ready to add some color and fun back into my swimsuit wardrobe.
Come the summer, I'm going to be ready for some sunscreen and something a little flashier to wear for shark duty. No apologies.

I've edged the latest blanket with a single crochet stitch in yellow and now I've started on the decorative border with the help of my latest crochet book:
Around the corner crochet borders by Edie Eckman was suggested to me on twitter after my post moaning about stitch libraries not giving instructions for going around a corner. I didn't know such a book existed and it is BRILLIANT. If you don't have it, and are into crochet I thoroughly recommend it.
There are 150 borders in this book. Each pattern is written and shown in charts and the charts show the cornerless pattern repeat and the pattern with a corner! So much instruction!
However when I turned the blanket round it looks like it does in the book which is what I'm obviously going for. I'm going to have to unpick it and work this border in from the wrong side of the blanket otherwise the puff stitches don't 'pop'.
I'm still not sure about it though, maybe something simpler would be better. I'll have to take a look at some other patterns in the book.

Java Unique List
The Java collections bundled with the JDK do not provide a built in method to get the unique items from a list. Here's an easy an efficient way to get the unique items. Simply put your list into a set and then create a list again.
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); list.add("A"); list.add("B"); list.add("A"); Set set = new HashSet(list); ArrayList b = new ArrayList(set); assertEquals(2, b.size());
Why does this work? The HashSet constructor takes in a collection, and after creating setting up a map, adds all of the elements.
public HashSet(Collection<? extends E> c) { map = new HashMap<E,Object>(Math.max((int) (c.size()/.75f) + 1, 16)); addAll(c); }
addAll in turn attempts to add each item to the map. If the item already exists, it will be ignored. This requires the objects you are adding to have proper equals and hashCode implementations.
Similarly, the ArrayList constructor takes in a collection, and adds the items it it's internal array. The downside of this method is that the order of the items in the unique list will not be the same as those in the original. If maintaining order is important, simply use a LinkedHashSet instead of a HashSet, or if you want the items sorted, use a TreeSet instead of the HashSet.

i knew before i went out for the bike ride that i wanted to try and make it a brick. i wanted to see what the brick business was all about and i haven't exactly ran my miles this week. i'd be short on miles, but at least i'd get in a good workout.
i had a nice little headache going before i went out, so i made sure to drink a lot of water on the bike (a few gulps every 2 miles or so) and took a vanilla gingerbread gu after the first lap (~11 miles). when i got back to the house, i quickly changed out of my biking shorts and into some running ones, had a sip of gatorade and headed back out for a run. it had gotten a bit warmer (80-81) and i probably should have had another gu or something before going out for the run. my legs were spaghetti, but that was expected. i never found a rhythm and definitely bonked on the run. i could not wait to get home and make a smoothie.

AF Guitars
iv been on the muse live forums for quite a while and someone said i should post this on here too. so i am.
This thread is basically just showing the guitars i make as/when i make them. some people seem to be interested so i thought i would show, and i always like seeing other peoples builds, so i cant be alone.
anyway, to get them out of the way as im sure everyones rather sick of them by now - i made this one for myself a few years ago. it was the third guitar id ever made, after a gap of 5 years since the one before it
its currently getting a makeover - new neck as the original was huge, and remirrored with normal mirror as its cheaper than coloured.
then i made this one for someone - the change in shape was down to him as he didnt just want a straight copy. he never got it in the end as circumstances meant he couldnt pay for it, but someone else bought it and loves it. which is nice.
now onto my own designs. so far iv only made two of my designs. this first one was made for my friend. its a SAKURA model - this one is a Sakura Svelte (semi-hollow) Custom (maple front and back, bolt on neck). it has Bare Knuckle P92's with a tuned filter that filters out the mids and gives an acoustic type sound at the turn of a knob.
this is the latest one iv done, and the best so far. its a DESIREE. it has a South American Mahogany body with flame maple top (tropical lagoon stain - looks more blue in some of the pics than it is), a one piece Wenge neck with Wenge fretboard and Rosewood binding. Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen and Nailbomb (with custom etched cover) and Gotoh hardware
these are my other designs. IMPRESSIONIST, DECO D, DECO S, AYA, ARCHTOP, SAKURA BASS, DESIREE BASS, DECO S BASS, DECO D BASS
Looks nice.
THATS HOT!:eek:
Well to the official forum Anthony, guitars look great :)
Welcome and beautifull guitars :)
We should totally trade guitars sometime.
Ill make you a basic MJTG (the latest one I did), and you make me a basic something. Just for kicks
You should all make me free guitars :LOL: :p
hooglebug! i watching the thread you made for the purple mirror guitar years ago.
you posted like pictures of every move you made with it and it turned out amazing!
welcome, and nice stuff!
my god. they are damn haawwtt! i remember watching you play the purple mirror one on youtube. they look so good quality and the finishes look superb! :happy:
U should both make me a free bassguitar and I'll tell you who's king
i feel i shouldnt voice my opinions on this one. Even if i am only looking at it from a design point of view. Other than that, they're nice......
thanks for the kind words everyone
I've been watching your thread on Muselive too, I love your finishes and shapes:happy:
However, I notice there's almost a sense of repetitiveness about them. Now, being a designer myself, i know that a lot of designers will try to create a sort of style or method that will almost be like a signature for them. And if thats what you're going for, then i think you've already done it, but you're also bringing in a bit of rerpetitiveness.
Personally, i do like the sort of signature-like-style you're going for, i think its quite elegant, but not in a boring way. However, i think that you have the potential to create some really original designs.
Im not at all trying to be negative, and sorry if it comes across like that, but do you see my point or will i be more specific??
PS. I do actually like your designs, and your finished guitars are excellent.

If the shore is earth rather than solid rock, as is usually the case in the Puget Sound region, the erosion can be more pronounced. The Puget Sound region has conditions that differ from other regions, requiring local knowledge to develop appropriate measures for protecting shorelines.

Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tennessee) has come out in mild support of President Obama's health care law. While he believes the individual mandate is an unconstitutional provision that should be scrapped, the heart surgeon feels that most ("70%") of the law is good and will inject new money into the health care system.
Check the article on Politico.com to read about the Senator's comments. It's refreshing to hear about a Republican politician not pandering to the Tea Party!

Track star Pistorius treated in hospital for wrist injuries
By By James Macharia and Nqobile Dludla
Published : August 07, 2016
By James Macharia and Nqobile Dludla
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Oscar Pistorius was treated in hospital for wrist injuries on Saturday, a prison service spokesman said, adding the jailed South African track star had denied trying to kill himself.
The multiple gold medal-winning Paralympian, serving six years for murdering his girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2013, was returned to his Pretoria cell after the incident, which coincided with the first day of competition in the Rio Olympic Games.
"Oscar Pistorius denied speculations of a suicide attempt," Department of Correctional Services spokesman Manelisi Wolela said on Sunday, describing the athlete's injuries as minor.
In a tweet confirmed by the family's spokeswoman, Pistorius' brother Carl also said reports the athlete had tried to injure himself were "completely untrue". He had slipped in his cell and was in good spirits.
Oscar Pistorius reached the pinnacle of his fame in 2012 when he became the first double amputee to run in the Olympics, making the 400 meters semi-finals in London before taking two golds in the Paralympics.
He had his sentence increased from five to six years in July, a term that South African prosecutors - who had sought 15 years - called "shockingly lenient" and said they would appeal against.
Newspaper City Press said earlier on Sunday that Pistorius, known as Blade Runner for the carbon-fibre prosthetics he wore when racing, was rushed to Pretoria's Kalafong Hospital around midday on Saturday.
It quoted a security guard as saying: "He had bad cuts on his wrists and the doctors kept wrapping bandages around them."
An inmate situated close to a separate hospital annexe within the prison told the paper Pistorius had injured himself intentionally, and it quoted two warders as saying razor blades were found in his cell.
The runner, who had the lower part of his legs amputated when he was a baby, was freed from prison last October after almost a year behind bars.
He was to serve the remainder of the original five-year term under house arrest at his uncle's house in a wealthy suburb of the South African capital.
But his initial manslaughter conviction was changed to murder by the Supreme Court of Appeal in December, and his term then increased to six years last month.
Before his sentencing on July 6, Pistorius told British broadcaster ITV that his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, would have wanted him to go free and dedicate his life to charity, not waste it behind bars.

June 2016
Boulder Partner David Zetoony authored a blog post for the Washington Legal Foundation Legal Pulse that was republished June 14 by Risk Based Security, a security information provider. Zetoony wrote about the Tennessee breach notification law, which he says is indicative of data security regulators' lack of creativity. The Tennessee legislature amended its data breach notification statute so that beginning July 1, a "breach of security" will no longer have the qualifier that the data must be "unencrypted." Despite this change being characterized by the media as making the Tennessee statute "among the nation's toughest," Zetoony argues that the change will have very little, if any, impact on businesses.

Quick Reference
(b. 6 Oct. 1910, d. 3 May 2002).
British Secretary of State for Employment (1968–70) Born in Bradford, she was educated at Bradford Girls' Grammar School, and Oxford. In the 1930s, she worked as a journalist, and was involved in local politics in London. In 1945, she was elected as Labour MP for Blackburn, and rose to prominence as a left‐winger in the 1950s, a supporter of Nye Bevan. She was chairwoman of the Labour Party in 1958–9, entered the Cabinet as Minister of Overseas Development when Wilson won the 1964 general election, and was Minister of Transport (1965–8). As Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity (1968–70), she proposed to weaken excessive trade‐union power through a compulsory twenty‐eight‐day conciliation period, and a universal membership ballot prior to strike action. Unsurprisingly, this was strongly opposed by the powerful trade unions, championed by Callaghan, who effectively scuppered the plans. Secretary of State for Social Services in Wilson's last Cabinet, she was dropped by Callaghan when he became Prime Minister in 1976. She became a Member of the European Parliament in Strasburg (1979–89), and entered the House of Lords in 1990.

If you think you understand it, you don't know nearly enough about it
It will soon be 200 years since the birth of Charles Darwin and 150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species, arguably the most important book ever written. In it, Darwin outlined an idea that many still find shocking – that all life on Earth, including human life, evolved through natural selection.
Darwin presented compelling evidence for evolution in On the Origin and, since his time, the case has become overwhelming. Countless fossil discoveries allow us to trace the evolution of today's organisms from earlier forms. DNA sequencing has confirmed beyond any doubt that all living creatures share a common origin. Innumerable examples of evolution in action can be seen all around us, from the pollution-matching peppered moth to fast-changing viruses such as HIV and H5N1 bird flu. Evolution is as firmly established a scientific fact as the roundness of the Earth.
And yet despite an ever-growing mountain of evidence, most people around the world are not taught the truth about evolution, if they are taught about it at all. Even in the UK, the birthplace of Darwin with an educated and increasingly secular population, one recent poll suggests less than half the population accepts evolution.
For those who have never had the opportunity to find out about biology or science, claims made by those who believe in supernatural alternatives to evolutionary theory can appear convincing. Meanwhile, even among those who accept evolution, misconceptions abound.
Most of us are happy to admit that we do not understand, say, string theory in physics, yet we are all convinced we understand evolution. In fact, as biologists are discovering, its consequences can be stranger than we ever imagined. Evolution must be the best-known yet worst-understood of all scientific theories.
So here is New Scientist's guide to some of the most common myths and misconceptions about evolution.

Jodi Arias, 32, is accused of stabbing and slashing Travis Alexander 27 times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head in his suburban Phoenix home in June 2008. She initially denied any involvement, then later blamed it on masked intruders before eventually settling on self-defense.
Arias claims Alexander invited her to his home for a day of sex, and that he turned violent, forcing her to fight for her life. Prosecutors claim she killed him in a jealous rage.
She could face the death penalty if convicted in a case that has been cable news fodder for weeks with lurid stories of sex, lies and violence.
On Monday, Arias told jurors how she endured an abusive childhood at the hands of her parents and planned to commit suicide after she killed Travis Alexander.
She has been laying out her life in painstaking detail, beginning with the day she killed her lover. Arias claims her parents abused her starting at the age of 7, and that numerous boyfriends cheated on her and lied to her, but because of her naivety, she stayed with them on and off throughout her teenage and young adult life.
"Did you kill Travis Alexander on June 4, 2008?" defense attorney Kirk Nurmi asked her on Monday.
"Yes I did," Arias replied softly. "He attacked me and I defended myself."
On Tuesday, Arias continued testifying about boyfriend after boyfriend - before she met Alexander - who cheated on her, lied to her, had alcohol problems and didn't treat her well. The defense claims Alexander, a successful businessman and motivational speaker, too, was abusive, both physically and mentally.
The trial began in early January with salacious details about a torrid romance between Arias and Alexander after they met at a conference in Las Vegas in late 2006. She claims they dated for about five months, then broke up but continued to see each other for sex up until the day of his death. She initially told police she knew nothing of the killing, then blamed it on masked intruders. She eventually admitted her involvement, but claimed self-defense.
She said she lied early in the investigation about not being at the scene of the killing because she planned to commit suicide and never have a trial.
"At the time, I had plans to commit suicide. So I was extremely confident that no jury would convict me because I didn't expect any of you to be here," Arias told jurors on Monday. "I planned to be dead."
She testified Tuesday about yet another boyfriend she had in early 2000 who also eventually cheated on her, but she noted he treated her kindly.
"Did he ever hit you?" Nurmi asked.
"No," Arias replied.
"Did he ever call you a whore?" Numri prodded.
"No," Arias said.
Throughout the trial, defense attorneys have depicted Alexander as a liar and a cheater who called Arias derogatory names and told her and other girlfriends that he was a devout Mormon saving sex for marriage, while in reality he was having sex with other women.
Prosecutors have portrayed Arias as a jealous ex-girlfriend who stalked him for months after their breakup until finally snapping and killing him.
Authorities say they found her hair and bloody palm print at the scene of the killing, along with time-stamped photographs in a camera discovered inside Alexander's washing machine that place Arias there on the day he died. The photos included one of Arias nude on his bed, one of Alexander alive in the shower, then one of his body on the bathroom floor.
Defense attorneys have yet to explain why Arias apparently attempted to clean the scene, washing Alexander's bedding and the camera, and what happened to the weapons.
Authorities say Alexander was shot in the head with a .25 caliber gun, the same caliber Arias' grandparents reported stolen from their Northern California home about a week before the killing.

Center Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Handouts
Connecting Writing to Speaking
Comprehension checks
● At the end of a lecture or class discussion, stop and ask students to write for a short time (2-5 minutes). You may ask them to answer a question, apply content to a practical situation, or work a problem (e.g., in a math course). Be sure the task is very clear, probably by writing it.
● Have pairs of students exchange their writing, read it over, and briefly discuss their answers. Then ask the class as a whole what questions, confusions, or interesting perspectives arose when they compared answers. Students' writing could be turned in or added to a course workbook or journal.
● A comprehension check forces students to review the lecture. Sharing the writing helps to identify questions, issues, or confusions that students may not have been aware of. Discussing these questions in class or reading over the answers provides you with some insight into what students understand well and what they do not.
Short in-class interviews
● Direct students to interview each other in pairs in the class about a topic that is being covered or has been covered. In a political science class, for example, a short opinion survey might be done. In a foreign language class, you might assign a personal interview about likes and dislikes. In any class, students might interview each other about an issue that arises out of readings, lectures or class discussions.
● Interviews may come at the end of class to review issues raised or prepare for the next session. You may also use an interview as a lead-in to a discussion, lecture, or other activity.
● Issues or questions for the interview should be very clear, which usually means that these assignments need to be given in written form.
● Results of the interviews may be reported in a short paragraph or added to a journal.
● Short in-class interviews can help prepare for or review content, connect course content to students' personal experience, facilitate class discussion, foster the development of a learning community, and connect oral language use to written language.

BLDG BLOG, which you should probably be reading anyway, considers Mix House, an evocative & disturbing expansion of modernist transparency in architecture into sonic space. excerpt:
These "sonic windows" – or parabolic ornaments – amplify the audio setting of the house, thus making location, I'd think, several orders of magnitude more important than with many others works of architecture. . . Drunk homeowners mix burps with airplane roars, standing at an audio booth in the kitchen. Someone plays layered tape-loops of the sounds of their house from yesterday – which gets picked up by the neighbor and rebroadcast, with reverb, over the noise of a distant lawnmower. Enemy teenagers declare audio warfare, their microphones left open all night long. Paranoid husbands spy on all possible rivals.
But what if they'd moved the capital – a mere two miles? Or one mile – or twenty-five feet? The entire imperial capital picks up… and moves eight feet to the southwest. Thirty-five centimeters. The buildings themselves aren't changed – though perhaps all the streets are renamed.
Meanwhile, everything looks the same.

Key backers of the new Blu-ray Disc optical storage technology turned out in force at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin to announce a string of content and equipment offerings.
The flurry of announcements came as the consumer electronics industry prepares for the important holiday shopping season, when manufacturers typically generate their highest sales.
With content crucial to the successful take-up up high-definition players, recorders and game consoles, Hollywood studio executives lined up at a news conference to list the number of movies they plan to launch in the Blu-ray Disc format beginning in November.
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release eight movies on Blu-ray in Japan and North America on Nov. 10 and Australia and Europe on Nov. 14, said senior vice president of sales Franco de Cesare. The movies, including "Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut)," grossed more than US$2 billion in box office sales. The recommended retail price is US$39.98.
Warner Home Video, a unit of Warner Bros. Entertainment, will release more than 10 Blu-ray Disc titles in several European markets, including France, Germany, Spain and the U.K., according to Stephen Nickerson, senior vice president sales and marketing. Titles will include recent hits such as "Firewall" and "Syriana," and older ones from the extensive Warner Home Video library such as "Full Metal Jacket," "Training Day" and "Space Cowboys."
Beginning in October in Europe and Asia, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, a division of Sony, will begin rolling out a broad mix of releases , including "Hitch," "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," "The Fifth Element" and "Hostel," said senior vice president Matt Brown.
Paramount Home Entertainment International intends to release "Mission: Impossible III" and "Mission Impossible Trilogy Box Set" on the Blu-ray format this year. "Mission: Impossible III" on Blu-ray will be on two discs and loaded with extras.
Koninklijke Philips Electronics, which co-invented the CD with Sony and has collaborated closely with the Japanese manufacturer in the development of Blu-ray, introduced several products supporting the new optical storage format.
Philips' BDP9000 Blu-ray Disc player plays back high-definition content in full 1080p resolution. It is designed to connect with HDTV (high-definition television) and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) devices.
In addition to its Showline Media Center MCP9480i, which supports Blu-ray, Philips plans to launch TripleWriter, an all-in-one internal drive for PCs that can record and playback optical formats including CD, DVD and Blu-ray Disc. The product goes on sales next month in the U.S. and Europe.
The Blu-ray Disc Association also announced that Sun Microsystems, the creator of Java technology, has joined the consortium's board of directors.
The IFA runs though Sept. 6.

A baby is recovering in hospital with a fractured skull after a fall.
The four-week old boy is thought to have suffered the injury last week and it was reported to police on Sunday.
Northumbria Police child protection officers based at Newcastle East, Clifford Street, Byker, are involved in an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the infant's injury.
However, it is understood the child's injury is not thought to have been caused as a result of an attack or under suspicious circumstances.
The baby was taken to Newcastle General hospital.
He is being monitored further today.
Precautions are being taken because of the age of the baby, although his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
A police spokesman said: "We are investigating the circumstances after a baby was found to have suffered a fractured skull.
"A man and a woman have been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries."
The incident is believed to have happened in a house in the West End of Newcastle.
Child protection officers liaise with other agencies, including social services, over the welfare of children who suffer unusual injuries.
Further inquiries are taking place to establish if support is needed for the care of the tot as he recovers in hospital.
Police encourage members of the public to contact them if they have any suspicions over the treatment of children.
A multi-agency approach is used out to assess whether the child may be at risk or support is needed to help the child's extended family.

Hi Allen,
A couple of years ago the power company cleared the trailside south of Port. It looked like a disaster zone for over a year.

You will notice a big difference on the bike trail south to Brown Deer Park. All trees and brush have been cleared from the power line to the railroad tracks. It looks like a forest fire burned it all off.

To me it proved quickly that this Unicode glossary is written without any consideration of non-spoken languages. The definition for alphabet; "A writing system in which both consonants and vowels are indicated." makes it impossible for SignWriting to be an alphabet but it seems to me this is equally true for any of the alternatives given. Unicode does provide the standard for writing systems, but their definitions do not really matter as long as they use the right terminology for character, glyph and all the other concepts applicable to writing itself.
An alternate definition for alphabet has it as: "An ordered set of letters used in a language." This definition is possibly overly broad as it would fit an abugida equally well. To be fair to the Unicode literature and its glossary, it has not considered SignWriting because SignWriting is not mentioned and it is not yet included in Unicode. Then again, Unicode did recognise SignWriting as Sgnw in the ISO 15924 in 2004.
