Issue No.05 - May (1969 vol.18)
pp: 424-428
N.K. Natarajan , IEEE
Accessing of more than one word truly simultaneously in time from the same memory module is termed multiaccess. An associative memory with such a capability can be made from reset-set flip-flops. There are practical limitations to the number of words that can be simultaneously accessed. Some hardware and software implications of multiaccessibility are discussed.
Hardware-software implications, independent access channels, LSI multiaccess associative memory, match indicator network, memory bandwidth, search registers, storage interference.
N.K. Natarajan, P.A.V. Thomas, "A Multiaccess Associative Memory", IEEE Transactions on Computers, vol.18, no. 5, pp. 424-428, May 1969, doi:10.1109/T-C.1969.222681

Rwanda | CYNTHIA: BEING A BLACK MODEL IN EUROPE IS "HELLISH"
A Rwandan female model has described the experience of being a black model in Europe as "hellish" after saying she has been discriminated against many times just because of her skin color. Cynthia Umurungi (pictured above) said that several times she has been turned down at the expense of white models, whom she says do not have any special qualities or skills. Cynthia who lives and works in Denmark decried the lack of opportunities, saying it's "really really hard" to make it there as a model.
"I have missed several opportunities and have had to do other part time jobs besides my modeling career because I don't get enough chances as my white colleagues. If you know how Denmark is, then you know how black people are taken," she said.
In a candid, frank and sorrowful voice, the tall, slim model pointed this out in front of tens of designers that included some from Denmark itself, remarks that drew an attention from those in the house, but quickly faded away. African fashion designers have more than often boasted to have an edge in fashion industry, a claim that stems from the fact that they have more ideas and materials to add an ice cap to their cakes.
The claim that black models do not get enough opportunities in Europe and America however was almost a complete new story to young and aspiring girls who want to make it in modeling industry, especially those who go to look for greener pastures abroad.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Barons returned to OKC where they will practice all week before heading back on the road for a weekend set in San Antonio. The team hit the ice with some familiar faces as injured skaters Tyler Pitlick and Ryan Martindale joined the team for the first time since their injuries.
Another familiar face, Brandon Davidson, skated for the first time since his cancer diagnosis.
"It's very inspiring," said Barons head coach Todd Nelson. "He's a good person, good kid and always has a fantastic attitude. He's going through a situation right now that's tough but we're just waiting to see what the next course of action is going to take."
Davidson has been off the ice since his diagnosis and subsequent surgery for testicular cancer in late October and early November.
"It's great to get back on the ice," said Davidson. "I've been waiting a really long time so when I got told last night that I was skating with the team, I was pretty happy. It was a tough one but it's great to get back out there and feel like I'm part of the team again."
The defenceman talked about his treatment and how well it's been going to this point.
"Things are going well for me right now," he said. "Basically, things have been positive the whole way through. It's not over yet but things are looking up. It's nice to come out here and skate today, get my mind off of that stuff."
As for when he might be expected back in the lineup, that date is not nailed down but it should be in the not-too-distant future.
"I'm not too sure, depending on a few things. There was a possibility that maybe in two or three weeks time if everything goes well. It's optimistic right now," Davidson cautioned. "Depends on which direction I'm going. We'll wait and see."
Overall, the entire experience has been something that Davidson noted will have a positive impact on his life moving forward.
"It's been an eye-opener on life," he said. "It's definitely changed me as a person -- made me a better person for sure. It was tremendous to be able to go through something like this and have the support of the Oilers organization and the guys in the locker room and fans around the world."
Davidson went on too talk more about the fans who have reached out to him on Twitter.
"It was amazing. That stuff goes along way for me. It really hits home and I can't send out enough (thanks) to everyone who supported me and is still supporting me."
Jordan Eberle, a teammate of Davidson's in Regina, was happy to see him back on the ice with the Barons.
"It's great to see him skating," said Eberle. "He couldn't wait to get back. I think it was just a matter of the scar and other than that, he was pretty healthy. I think once you get on the ice it takes your mind off things and you get to hang out with the boys and feel like you're part of the team again. I'm really happy for him."
Speaking of Regina, Jordan Eberle will be headed there later today in preparation for a ceremony on Wednesday night where his number 7 will be retired.
"It's quite the honour. Definitely unexpected when they announced it this summer. I was pretty shocked. It's not usually something you worry about when you're still playing hockey but it's going to be a good night. All my family's coming down and I know they'll enjoy it."
Eberle is excited about giving a speech in front of the Pats faithful during the ceremony.
"I wrote out a speech yesterday so it should be fun. I've gotten better at public speaking over the last little bit. Done a few banquets and charities but nothing to this magnitude. But it should be fun. Hopefully it'll be well received."
Ryan Martindale and Tyler Pitlick also skated for the team Monday and both look to be back in game action soon.
"Nobody likes getting injured but it's something you have to deal with. I've had a lot of help from the guys on the team and they got me back out there pretty quick," said Martindale. "Just to be out there skating again and being with the team, it feels really good."
Martindale wouldn't put an exact time on it but figures it's just a matter of getting back into game shape and building up strength.
"It's just a feeling out process. As soon as possible. I'm in the gym every day, trying to build upon it and get it better. They're going to be checking it every day and when they feel it's up to par and ready to go, that's when I'll be out there."
Pitlick is aiming for this weekend in San Antonio.
"Hopefully I'll be ready by the weekend. Then it'll be up to the coaches if they feel like I'm ready to get back in, too," Pitlick stated.
Coach Nelson said both players will be monitored throughout the week.
"We're just taking it every day to see how they feel and how their injuries are coming around. Today went pretty well for all three guys (Pitlick, Martindale and Davidson) and we'll see what tomorrow brings."
Taylor Hall did not skate today but the team doesn't expect him to miss any game action.
"Getting some work done on his neck. Nothing serious, just want to make sure that he's feeling 100% as well. We expect him back," Nelson said.
Dan Ringwald was in a cast today having suffered his injury on Thursday in Houston. As a result, the team has called up Nathan Deck from Stockton.
The 22-year-old Deck brings an offensive flair to the blueline. He leads all Thunder defencemen and is tied for fourth among ECHL defenders with 17 points in 19 games this season. His +8 rating is tied for second on the team and he has earned seven points on the power play.
Following practice, the Barons also sent Toni Rajala back to Stockton. Rajala had a goal and an assist in five games with the Barons in addition to a shootout marker on Thursday night in Houston.

Tribute to 'The Last Waltz'
Updated 1/10/2013
Friday: It's 1976 all over again at the Cabooze's annual re-creation of the Band's star-studded farewell show.
The real Last Waltz in 1976

While the Band only had one "Last Waltz," the Cabooze is staging its eighth annual tribute to the '70s concert/film. The cadre of Twin Cities all-stars includes: Dan Israel as Bob Dylan; Terry Walsh, slipping into familiar Irish soul shoes as Van Morrison; Big George Jackson, nicely cast as Muddy Waters; Pat "Lamont" Hayes, blowing harp à la Paul Butterfield; former Magnolias and Stingray Green guitarist Kent Militzer as Neil Young; and Ashleigh Still, channeling Joni Mitchell. And in a big role for a big talent, Dave Russ is your plus-size Levon Helm, one of roots-rock's most endearing artists, whom we lost in 2012.TOM SUROWICZ

Although not always (or ever) profound, these bratty punks were fairly prolific in their '90s heyday. Led by frontman Joe Queer and a revolving supporting cast, the Queers were a Lookout! Records staple alongside fellow pop-punks like the Groovie Ghoulies and a pre-major-label Green Day. Twenty years later, Queer and Co. continue to tour on their Ramones-channeling two-minute ditties about unyielding flatulence and teenage malaise.

Garden club teams with school for Arbor Day
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:51 a.m.
Members of the Lemon Bay Garden Club joined 75 second-graders at Englewood Elementary School on Jan. 18 to celebrate Florida Arbor Day by planting a gumbo-limbo tree on the school grounds.
Ronald Kar, president of Partnership for Alliances Linking Schools, presented the school and teacher Joan LaBadie with a framed certificate showing Englewood Elementary as the winner of a county-wide elementary school competition recognizing the alliance between community volunteers and the school.
Forty county elementary schools were judged, and Englewood Elementary won.
The Garden Club has planted a tree each year for Arbor Day at various schools and locations throughout Englewood.
Englewood Elementary was chosen this year by Adopt-A-Class Chairmen Marca Markwitz, Barbara McPartland and Barbara Jacobson.
The group and other club members have been working with the class for the past two years.
They have studied the life cycle of butterflies and planted a butterfly garden, which was quickly followed by a vegetable garden.
The tree was chosen by Laurel Schiller, co-owner of Florida Native Plants Nursery.
The gumbo-limbo, with a scientific name of Bursera simaruba, also is called a "Tourists' Nose Tree," because it has red peeling bark. It can grow to 60 feet and is a strong, salt-resistant Florida native.
For more information about the club, call 474-9068.

This is the work of genetics, not the devil
Published: Friday, August 10, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 9, 2012 at 11:32 a.m.
The recent use of a fast-food business as the battleground in the latest fight over the right of gay people to marry has proved only that the owner probably had a really good sales month but did nothing to solve the problem. People, as they should, will continue to believe what they want to and not give a hoot what the other side thinks.
If you really believe that "gay people" are created by the devil, it might be better for you to stop reading this column now to avoid damaging any brain cells.
From everything I have ever learned, it appears that there is some kind of genetic trait or program that is passed from parent to child that sets up the propensity for that person to behave in the manner that receives the name "gay."
I have known many people in my rather long lifetime who were labeled by that name, and most of them became good friends. One of them, sadly, killed himself because he couldn't handle something in his life and just didn't want to go on.
As for trying to stop people of the same sex getting married, I haven't a clue how anyone else would have his or her marriage damaged by this happening. "Little Bit" and I will be married 64 years next month, and no one and nothing could harm our marriage.
Religions have every right to decide who should have a right to marry in their churches and can refuse anyone not conforming to their beliefs. Anyone can write his own contract and have it lawfully filed.
There are always many people who object to same-sex marriage, and they have every right to voice their opinion, but they don't have the right to use force to back it up.
Through the years, there have been many attempts to keep any unions of "gay" people from taking place, and much of it is in the form of either government laws and force being used.
What is ironic about all the efforts to kill off the whole "gay" movement is the little thing called genetics.
If what I believe is true and the "gay" community is caused by the passing of genes, then the people trying to end the homosexual section of our humanity are probably the main reason that "gay" people continue to be born.
All of the "gay" bashing and threats have caused many homosexual people to get married to heterosexual people and then adopt a lifestyle that blends in with all the others. Children result from male-female relationships only. Male-male and female-female unions are barren except for artificial births using third partners.
Now, I realize that my version doesn't really have the zing and pizazz of the gay-bashing ideas of the devil doing all the creation, but there are many of us who believe it is a little more logical.
The only problem I have with writing a column and taking on the devil is that this is really going to cause me trouble with my wife, "Little Bit." All through our married life, I have gotten out of most of my mistakes by telling her the "devil made me do it."
I don't think that's going to work anymore.

Woman arrested on DWI charge after crashing into swimming pool, Dallas police say
Normally we don't report on drunken driving crashes unless someone is seriously injured or killed, but this one seems noteworthy.
Friday at 8:28 p.m., Dallas police officers responded to a report of a car crashing through someone's fence and into a swimming pool in the 6800 block of McCallum Boulevard.
The pool's owner came out to find the car's front wheels hanging over the edge and spinning in the water.
Police arrested Paula Jordan Higgins, 62, (right) on a charge of DWI.

1,275 breeding pigs have arrived at Vladivostok in Russia onboard an AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) Boeing 747 charter flight from Montreal in Canada.
The pigs, weighing an average of 45 kilos each, are to improve the breeding stock at the Vladivostok agricultural center, the largest such center in Primorsky Kray. The pigs arrived safely after a 13 hour journey.
ABC was chosen for the flight for its proven expertise in the carriage of live animals. Previous shipments safely delivered by the airline have included rare Akhal-Teke horses for breeding from Russia to China, 105 elite horses from Amsterdam to Moscow, 380 breeding cows from Melbourne to Kazan in Russia as well as top racehorses, walruses, dolphins and other animals.
Last year, following the project to transport cows from Melbourne, ABC was awarded full accreditation for livestock transport into and out of Australia and Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) stations at all Australian airports were notified of the airline's compliance with requirements for the safe air transportation of livestock.

Water and electricity...they're two everyday necessities many of us take for granted. But several families in Augusta are being forced to do without them.
They say it all stems from one landlord who owns three different trailer parks, all of them with one big problem.
With no running water, dirty dishes have been piling up for three days in Diane Hodges' kitchen sink.
To make matters worse, her family doesn't have any power right now either.
"I've got a 14-year-old kid. He's got to get up and take a bath to go to school," she told News 12. "I got to be able to see. There's laundry to be done."
Her daughter Dianna Laws, who lives next door in the same trailer park, says she's been trying to care for her three small kids in the dark with no running water and is considering moving out.
"It's been hard," Laws said.
They say it's all because of the landlord.
Their utilities have always been included in the rent, until recently, when the landlord asked them to put it in their own names.
That wouldn't be a problem, they say, if the landlord had paid Georgia Power.
"We can't [put the bills in our names] until she pays her bills," Laws said.
This isn't the only place that landlord owns, and, unfortunately, it wasn't the only one with problems.
Just down the road on George Street, Sandra Johnson has been without power for two and a half months...and without gas for three months.
"No gas, and it's been cold nights," she told News 12.
Willie Judge used to live under the same landlord until he finally had enough.
"Every time I turn my back, it's the power. If it's not the power, it's the gas," he said. "I'm happy now. Don't have to worry about it."
The problem is forcing many of them out of their homes, whether they wanted to move or not.
"I like it here, because it's quiet, but I hope they can get it together so we can stay," Johnson said.
"I've been going to motels to make sure [the children] get their baths. That's the best I can do," Laws said.
The landlord tells us her husband actually owns the property, but he's in prison, so she's doing the best she can.
We asked her for a copy of the tenant's contract, but we haven't gotten it yet.

Bove: CFPB Will Send Consumers to the Mafia
Is Richard Cordray, the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, pushing consumers into the hands of folks like Don Corleone?
Bove, the often-unique analyst, argues in a new research note that the CFPB's examination of overdraft fees published Tuesday, coupled with its pressure on payday lenders will force low-income Americans into an even seedier version of "shadow banking system": the Mafia.
And he should know, he says, because his own family once turned to the Mafia in time of financial need.
"This is not theory," Bove writes, "when I was a child my father was ill due to a botched operation on his gall bladder. He was in the hospital for over one year. The only source of funding for my family at the time was the Mafia."
CFPB officials say they are not out to ban the product entirely.
"I think it is important to note that nothing in this report implies that banks and credit unions should be precluded from offering overdraft coverage," Cordray told reporters on Monday "Moreover, our study shows progress in some areas in recent years in protecting consumers from harm."
Bove's comments are an often-cited argument in favor of overdraft fees, which allow banking customers to spend more than is in a checking account by paying a fee. Some low-income customers, researchers and banks say, use the fees as short-term, very expensive loans, in times of financial stress.
The process works by charging a flat fee, often as high as $35, for a transaction that would overdraw an account.
The overdraft fees had become a point of contention because they could rack up quickly to hundreds of dollars if the customers didn't realize they were overdrawn.
The Federal Reserve decided in 2009 to make "overdraft protection" an opt-in service for consumers who use automated-teller machines or debit cards.
That means customers have to say they want to be allowed to overdraw, and pay the fee. If a customer rejects the "protection" their transactions will be declined.
Now WSJ reports that the CFPB is taking another look at the fees, and criticizing banks by saying they have confusing rules that can increase the likelihood of multiple fees to one customer.
The study found that some banks put a limit on the size of a transaction that can trigger an overdraft charge, while others charge fees on any transaction, regardless of size, and allow as many as 12 fees in a day
But Bove argues that if that source of funding isn't available, consumers will turn to a more unsavory source of cash.
"If banks are unable to make money available under this system because the CFPB mandates that they lose money on overdrafts, then the household loses access to this method of funding," he wrote in a note. "The question is then where will the household get the money it needs to meet short-term obligations. The answer, of course, is through illegal lending operations aka the Mafia."
Cordray indicated that the bureau would be focused on "consumers who are incurring heavy overdraft fees or account closures."
The regulator, he said, will "determine whether they are causing the kind of consumer harm that the federal consumer protection laws are designed to prevent."
The National Consumer Law Center, a consumer group, backed up the CFPB, saying the fees are making banks money while consumers get hurt.
"The consumers who pay the most overdraft fees are also the most economically vulnerable," NCLC staff attorney Chi Chi Wu said in a statement. "So the fattest profits of some of the biggest banks are being made off the backs of those least able to afford it."

President Obama's favorability ratings among Americans in general are nothing to write home about, but they're not nearly as bad as those for Congress, where obstructionist Republicans hold sway.
And now Obama suddenly seems willing to get snarky in his public expressions of� impatience with the GOPers on the Hill, as we see HERE:
From the Rose Garden to the Cabinet Room to near the Key Bridge in Georgetown, the president has signaled more than mere annoyance at the state of affairs at the halfway point of this year. His disdain for congressional Republicans has steadily increased; his disrespect for their tactics has hardened into contempt.
With immigration reform dead for this year, if not for the remainder of Obama�s presidency; with House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) threatening to sue him for alleged misuse of presidential power; and with other important legislation stalled in the House, the president has given voice to his frustrations with a series of partisan blasts.
It culminated Tuesday with a mock dare to the speaker and his followers in the House: �So sue me!�

Randolph County schools are scheduled to resume classes on Aug. 20. On Sept. 4, about the same number of students should be in the classrooms as were the first day. At least we hope so.
The one thing that could make the difference is if students entering seventh and 12th grade have received their required vaccines and returned the proper form to their schools.
A new state law and West Virginia Board of Education policy mandate that seventh-graders receive a Tdap vaccine booster and a dose of the meningococcal vaccine, while seniors get a single dose of Tdap and a booster dose of the meningococcal vaccine if the first dose was given before the age of 16. School administrators and the state are rather adamant about having the vaccine verifications. No form means no admission to school. The only exceptions will be those who present a letter from their doctors.
The new requirement follows recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. State Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple has said immunizations are essential in keeping children healthy and are a vital part of public health.
Granted, not everyone agrees. However, the diseases prevented by the vaccines - tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and bacterial meningitis - are serious.
Earlier this month, the CDC reported that cases of pertussis, or whooping cough, are rising at an epidemic rate and could reach the highest numbers in five decades. The very contagious disease can last for 10 weeks or more and is life-threatening in infants. Bacterial meningitis, a swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord, is caused by a very serious infection that can become deadly in 48 hours or less.
Children can receive these vaccinations from their doctors or the Elkins-Randolph Health Department. The majority of students have not yet turned in their forms. For the safety of our school population and our community in general, we encourage parents to make sure their seventh- and 12th-graders meet this requirement as soon as possible. Someone's life may depend on it.

For Better Decisions, Think in a Foreign Language
The psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amon Tversky won the Nobel Prize in Economics in part for identifying certain consistent deviations from rationality that seem to be endemic among human decision-makers.
Susceptibility to "framing" is one such bias. Consider a situation in which a disease puts 600,000 people at risk, and it's your job to choose the medicine to deploy. One option is presented his way:
If you choose Medicine A, 200,000 people will be saved.
If you choose Medicine B, there is a 33.3% chance that 600,000 people will be saved and a 66.6% chance that no one will be saved.
That's the "gain-frame" version of the question. And in that framing, people tend to choose the sure thing. The "loss-frame" goes like this: Choose Medicine A and "400,000 will die"; choose Medicine B and there's a 33.3% chance that "no one will die," a 66.6% chance that "600,000 people will die."
If you look at the options closely, you can see that they are logically equivalent. But people tend to take the sure thing when it involves lives saved, and to take a risk when the sure thing involves lives lost.
A second, related bias, involves "loss aversion": Staked $10, most people will pass up a 50-50 bet in which they will earn $12 or lose the $10; the loss looms larger than the gain. (If you don't take such bets as a Wall Street trader, however, you'll soon be out of a job.)
A new study, however, whose central finding is nearly as mysterious as the biases themselves, finds that these much discussed cognitive quirks disappear when the thought experiments are presented to people in a language that they have studied but not fully mastered.
The study involved native Korean speakers who knew some English, English speakers with some Japanese, and English speakers with some French. In each case, they displayed the biases that Kahneman and Tversky identified in their native tongues, but not in their second languages. (Checks were done to ensure that the participants understood the questions in their second languages.)
The authors propose that the kind of thinking we do in a not-fully-mastered language is more systematic, less instinctual, and therefore less emotional than what happens when we think in our native tongue. As a consequence, the patient deaths and potentially lost money seem more abstract; and the costs and benefits get measured more logically.
(Theoretically important, yes, but is this news you can use? Probably not, unless you can persuade your accountant to present your investment options in the language you studied in high school.)

Stanza 4 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 13-14
hate behind a white veil; a red balloon bursting
in my face. Bang. I stabbed at a wedding-cake.
- We've got another intense enjambment here. The word "Love's" is left lingering in our minds from the stanza before. And after another pause, we arrive at line 13, which completes the statement.
- Miss Havisham tells us that love is the same thing as hate – it's just hate veiled. Or is she? If we read "Love's" as a contraction of "Love is," then the line makes sense this way. But what if we read "Love's" as a possessive? Then the sentence would mean that the hate that belongs to love is behind a white veil.
- The first way to read this makes sense for what we know about Miss Havisham so far – that she's scorned, spiteful, and very very bitter. So when you pull back that metaphorical veil of her wedding dress, you're going to find nothing but hate underneath that image of love.
- But reading it the other way makes sense, too. Our Miss H is still having dreams of her lost fiancé, so there's still some feeling there, underneath all that bitterness (or perhaps it's causing the bitterness). So even though we might assume love cannot possess hate, in her case, it does, because she both loves and hates her lost fiancé, all from beneath her white veil.
- This is what we might call a paradox, or a contradictory statement that, when you look a little closer, turns out to be true. Phew! That's a lot of analysis on one little word, but it just goes to show: Duffy is a master packer.
- Then she makes another metaphor: love is a red balloon that bursts in her face. It's like all her lovely dreams were floating in a shiny red balloon, and then: POP. (Or, according to the poem: Bang.) The balloon bursts, and the truth about her fiancé comes out. So does the truth about love itself: love is no different from hate. In a way, this moment can represent a loss of innocence. We associate balloons with childhood fun. And when they pop, the fun is gone and all that's left is reality. Ugh.
- Next, Miss Havisham tells us that she stabbed at a wedding cake. Is she still being metaphorical? Not necessarily – we know from the novel that her wedding cake has been sitting out on the table, slowly decaying for decades (ew!). Maybe she has taken out some of her anger on it with an occasional stab of the knife. Anything's possible in this creepy world.
- Oh, and if she's got a sharp knife in her hand, is it possible she's the one who popped the balloon? We can't be sure, but the possibility, again, is undeniable.
- Any way you read it, we can all take away the idea that Miss Havisham's dreams are deflated and decayed. She no longer believes in love.
- And finally, before we move on to the last lines of this awesome poem, check out the alliteration she's using here: "balloon bursting" and "Bang." Those repeated "b" sounds pack a big punch – you have to close your mouth entirely, and then let out a big burst of air to say them. They slow the lines down, and give them a violent feeling.
Lines 15-16Give me a male corpse for a long slow honeymoon.
Don't think it's only the heart that b-b-b-breaks.
- Just when we thought things couldn't get any bleaker or more morbid, they do. Miss Havisham says she wants a male corpse to chill with for a long and slow honeymoon. Okay, this is straight up gross. Given her fantasies from the third stanza, what is she planning to do with this corpse? And why does it have to be a corpse? Maybe we don't actually want to know.
- We think she might be being hyperbolic here, i.e. exaggerating. Or maybe she's being ironic – saying one thing but meaning another. Is she just trying to gross us out? Or does she really want a corpse for some perverted honeymoon? All of the possibilities are plausible, and her tone is difficult to pin down.
- In the last line, we finally get some good old-fashioned pathos. Pathos is a fancy Greek term for an emotional appeal to an audience. It's that moment where a character in a poem or play looks at the audience and practically screams: pity me, pretty please!
- And do we pity Miss Havisham? We've been pretty consistently horrified by her for the whole poem, but we can't help but pity her in this last line. She's old, alone, a little demented, and falling apart – not just emotionally, but physically. Her broken heart has led to a broken and decrepit body, life, and mind.
- The final word of the poem, the "b-b-b-breaks" is breaking down itself. It's like a flat tire sputtering as it loses air. Miss Havisham seems to sputter and sob out this final pathos-inspiring word of the poem. She's utterly devastated, and despite the fact that we've been somewhat repelled by her throughout the poem, even our hearts break a little at this final line. Poor ol' Miss H.
- In these last lines, see if you can spot any of the sounds we've been talking about previously – assonance, consonance, slant rhyme, and internal rhyme. Did you catch any?

Aberdeen boss Craig Brown was pleased to see his side grab a late leveller and earn a William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round replay against Motherwell but felt Stuart McCall's side should have been put to the sword long before that.
The Dons started the game brightly and Brown claimed they should have been well in command after dominating the early stages.
Brown said: "I thought Motherwell should have been relieved not to be 3-0 down in the opening 10 minutes. We should have been ahead, but the usual quality of determination was apparent at the end.
"We're a very good second half team because of the team is very fit, and their attitude is superb. With these qualities, I think we can go away from home and do even better."
Brown was Motherwell scorer Jamie Murphy's boss at Fir Park before taking the top job at Aberdeen, and his former charge's excellent 80th-minute opener did not come as a shock.
"We lost a goal which came out of nothing," Brown continued. "It was a superb goal from Jamie Murphy, and I'm not surprised by it because I know what he can do.
"You're always concerned when you lose a goal as late as that. I thought it would have been an injustice had we lost the game, and in the early part of the game we had to commend Lee Hollis, the Motherwell goalkeeper."
Brown is hopeful some of his eight injured players will recover for the replay, and he added: "We're missing eight players who quite conceivably could be in the team, and one or two have been outstanding throughout the season."
Motherwell boss Stuart McCall was dismayed by Aberdeen's late leveller, but agreed that the Dons had started superbly. He said: "It's the second time we've been up here and lost a goal in the last minute, but if you'd said to me after three or four minutes that we'd get a draw, I'd have taken it right then.
"The first five or 10 minutes were an onslaught, and how we survived it I don't know. There was a bit of good goalkeeping, some good fortune, and some good defending."

PMQs: New Approach Secures Win for Cameron
I know there are those who think it doesn't matter, but I'm sorry: It is odd that the Prime Minister wears the same outfit all the time. It was dark blue suit, white shirt and dark blue tie again at PMQs. He wears it for every major speech and appearance at the moment, only switching to a pale lilac tie for his discombobulated TV sound bite on the departure of his spin-doctor Andy Coulson—a neckwear change that represented a high honor for Coulson. But for PMQs it was back to his regular outfit.
The Chancellor also let himself down badly on the sartorial front today—wearing a disastrous shirt, the collar of which stuck out over his jacket lapel throughout PMQs. The effect created was part-Victorian public schoolboy and part-Elizabethan ruff-wearing gentleman.
Meanwhile, Cameron won the exchanges with the Labour leader. Miliband termed the PM "arrogant" but actually it was Cameron's least arrogant performance in months. He has clearly decided that being endlessly rude to Miliband, and dismissing him with a smirk, looks awful in the Commons and on television. So he took it all much more calmly, pretending to listen to Mili E's questions and crafting attack lines that sounded more serious and Prime Ministerial.
Miliband was playing on a wicket that suited him, with this week's dreadful GDP numbers allowing him to claim that the government is derailing the recovery. He had Ed Balls at his side and it promised to be a fiery session. But the Labour leader's outraged questions sounded screechy, when he would have been better opting for grave concern.
Tory MPs shouted "more Balls" as Mili E spoke. And Cameron had fun questioning the idea that he had been left a "golden economic inheritance" by Labour.
Would Cameron change tack on cuts etc? Interestingly, Cameron defended deficit-reduction but left the door just slightly ajar on the scale of public spending cuts when pressed by Miliband to commit himself to all the cuts already announced. The Tory right will have noticed this.
Then came the main thrust of Mili E's assault. He quoted David Davis saying the Cameroons are drawn from a narrow, privileged elite with little feel for much of the country. Cameron didn't take the bait on class, as he has sometimes done in the past. Instead, he restricted himself to criticism of Labour's record and some mild barbs at Ed Balls and Mili E.
A win for Cameron. And then, straight after DC and Mili E had finished, up stood Jacob 'Tina' Rees-Mogg. He isn't as his P.G. Wodehouse caricature suggests. So why has he decided to play up to it? Perhaps he has decided that as Ken Dodd used to say, "everyone needs a gimmick, gotta have a gimmick." He invoked Baroness Thatcher and told Cameron 'There Is No Alternative' to tough medicine. It wasn't what he said—many of his Conservative colleagues will have agreed with the sentiment—it was the way he said it. Labour MPs were delighted, waving order papers and laughing. And so a little of Cameron's work in the chamber was undone.

When it comes to branding, Chipotle has officially jumped the shark.
The restaurant chain, which focuses on a fancier way of presenting fast food, launched bags and cups this week adorned with original text by famous authors such as Jonathan Safran Foer, Malcolm Gladwell, Toni Morrison, George Saunders, and Michael Lewis, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. You can visit VF's website to read each text in its entirety, although that might ruin your fun if you're planning to eat a burrito bowl later this week.
Foer, who first pitched the chain his idea, said the impetus for the project came about when he was sitting at a Chipotle and realized he had nothing to read — no book, no magazine, and, at the time, no smartphone.
"I really just wanted to die with frustration," Foer told VF Daily, which sums up how I feel about this whole glorified PR blitz. Call me old school, but when I hit a fast-food place by myself, I'm not looking to feel smarter. I'm looking to feel full, you know, fast.
Decide for yourself by taking a gander at two of the new designs, below. --Sarah Eberspacher
On Wednesday's Kelly File, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Megyn Kelly that his organization would release potentially "significant" information on Hillary Clinton before the November election, and on Thursday's show, Kelly played the part of the interview where Assange talks about Donald Trump. "You're clearly not rooting for Hillary, but are you rooting for Trump?" Kelly asked. "No, I mean, if we have good information on Trump, we publish that," Assange said.
"You know, some people have asked us, 'When will you release information on Donald Trump?'" Assange said later. "And of course we're very interested in all countries, to reveal the truth about any candidate, so people can understand, but actually it's really hard for us to release anything worse than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day. I mean, it's part of his charismatic appeal that he speaks off the cuff, but, you know, that's difficult for Donald Trump to overcome, a lot of those things, even with a lot of great material coming out by WikiLeaks and other publications."
If that sounds like WikiLeaks is trying to help Trump, remember, Assange says he isn't taking sides. And he doesn't want you to blame Russian hackers for the Democratic National Committee leaks or other Democratic Party cyber-infiltration, as the U.S. intelligence community does. "The allegations by the Clinton campaign that everyone is a Russian agent are really disturbing," Assange said. "Why is that? Well, bizarrely, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat, has become, has positioned herself now, as being the security candidate. She's palled up with the neocons responsible for the Iraq War and she's grabbed on to this sort of neo-McCarthyist hysteria about Russia, and is using that to demonize the Trump campaign."
Kelly also asked about WikiLeaks' interest in murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, and Assange suggested that Rich was a WikiLeaks source but declined to accuse anyone of his murder. She also asked about an Associated Press report outlining private information on rape victims, gay Saudis, and other "collateral damage" in some of Assange's dumps. "Well, it's a nonsense reports," he said. "Its not by AP, it's not some big team at AP who put this together, it's by a single journalist... who has a conflict of interest — have a look at him on Twitter."

Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency says at least eight police officers were killed and 45 people wounded in the attack, which was carried out with an explosives-filled truck. The city is in Sirnak province, which borders Syria and Iraq, and a majority of residents are Kurds. (This story has been updated throughout.) Catherine Garcia
For those wanting to fully understand Donald Trump's immigration stance, Seth Meyers put together a segment Thursday night featuring a dizzying array of statements the Republican nominee has made on the issue.
Meyers said that Trump is shifting his position in order to broaden his appeal, but is trying at the same time to assure his most ardent supporters that he's not actually changing at all. "Here's the problem for Trump," Meyers said. "He's already spent a year whipping up his supporters with vitriolic rhetoric on immigration, and they're not going to let him change now. Remember, they chant, 'Build that wall!' at all of the rallies, and one guy once came dressed like the wall. That guy doesn't want to go home and make an amnesty costume."
Meyers showed a clip of Trump warning people that Hillary Clinton would be "four more years of Obama," followed by another clip where he compliments the president for deporting large numbers of undocumented immigrants. Trump said he'd keep doing what Obama's doing in regards to deporting people, but would do it with "more energy." "Does Trump even have that much energy?" Meyers asked. "He talks about himself like he's Simone Biles, but he moves around like a bear who's honey drunk." Watch the video below, and get ready to never want to hear the words "Donald," "Trump," and "softening" together in a sentence ever again. Catherine Garcia
Apple released an update to the iPhone and iPad operating system on Thursday, and you should probably download and install it as soon as is possible. About 10 days ago, researchers at Citizen Lab, a University of Toronto tech research organization, and mobile security firm Lookout discovered three large security holes in Apple's iOS that could give someone with the right tool access to your entire phone — they could "read text messages and emails and track calls and contacts," The New York Times said, "even record sounds, collect passwords, and trace the whereabouts of the phone user" — and you would never know anything was going on.
Citizen Lab was tipped off when Ahmed Mansoor, a human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates, forwarded some suspicious text messages he was receiving, and sure enough, the messages contained code that would grant an outsider access to an entire phone. The researchers traced the code back to a Israeli cyber-espionage outfit called NSO Group, which The Times calls "one of the world's most evasive digital arms dealers." NSO spokesman Zamir Dahbash told The Times that "the company sells only to authorized governmental agencies, and fully complies with strict export control laws and regulations," but did not say if UAE had purchased its products. Along with Mansoor, NSO tools have been used to target people in Yemen, Turkey, Mozambique, Mexico, and Kenya.
You can learn more about the exploit at Gizmodo, Motherboard, and The New York Times, or watch the Associated Press report below, but upgrade your system before you do — Apple says the new update patches those gaping holes. Peter Weber
When the Foster family moved into the El Dorado Hills neighborhood outside of Sacramento, California, they say they discovered a long-forgotten rule regarding the race of residents.
Clause 13 of the Lake Hills CC&R states as follows: "No person except those of the white Caucasian race shall use, occupy, or reside upon any residential lot or plot in this subdivision, except when employed in the household of a white Caucasian tenant or owner." Liese Foster told ABC 13 that while "everyone knows you can't enforce things like that," it still "sends a message." Some neighbors had no idea that the rule, on the books since 1961, existed, while others said they did know about it, but since non-whites live in the neighborhood and it's never been enforced, they pay it no mind.
Now that Brent Dennis is aware of the rule, he promises things will change. He is with the El Dorado Hills Community Services District, which handles rule enforcement for the community and more than 30 others. Dennis has worked there for four years, and said before he was approached by a local news station, he didn't know about the rule. He told KTXL that he has no clue why it was ever made, but said it has never been enforced and violates federal law, and members of his staff will work quickly to change it. Catherine Garcia
Well, this is something you don't see every day. On Thursday's Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon donned his Donald Trump persona and sang a song with the real Barbra Streisand, who looked unsure about the whole endeavor (she is an Oscar-winning actress). "We're going to sing a fantastic song, and together we're going to make duets great again," Fallon's Trump said. "That's if you can sing," Streisand shot back. "Can you?" "I sing all the best words," FalTrump said. The duet is Irving Berlin's "Anything You Can Do," from Annie Get Your Gun, but with slightly different lyrics ("I can build casinos, and deport Latinos," Fallon's Trump sings). If you had any doubt who Streisand is supporting in this election (and you didn't, right?), she laid out her cards in the song, and she got in a few good digs at Trump for good measure. Watch below.

It isn't exactly Bill Clinton playing saxophone on Arsenio Hall in 1992 (he also played a ballad), but Hillary Clinton's running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), pulled out his harmonic on Thursday to do a little blues jam with Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Stephen Colbert's Late Show house band. Now, the harmonic isn't the world's, um, coolest instrument, but it's arguably a step up the hep ladder from the Batiste's melodica, and hey, Kaine isn't bad. If Hillary wins, maybe he and Bill can form a White House band. Watch below. Peter Weber

Sixth Grand Slam final in series
Roger crushed Nikolay Davydenko 6-1 7-5 6-4 in the semi-final, looking for his third consecutive title at the US Open. He defeated the Russian seventh seed in 1hr 43min to become the first man in the Open era to reach six straight Grand Slam finals.
"I played a great first set and I thought I played really well today," said Roger. "Again in the final is a great feeling and it's great to be in the final of all four majors this year." He will certainly not have an easy task tomorrow as there will be several thousand spectators cheering for his opponent – Andy Roddick (USA/ 9).
He set the tone by breaking in the second game as he cruised through the first set in 22 minutes, keeping Davydenko off balance with a series of short, sliced backhands. Davydenko recovered early breaks in the second and third sets, but it was not enough to stop Roger cruising through to tomorrow's (AEST) Sunday against ninth-seeded American Andy Roddick or another Russian, Mikhail Youzhny.
Davydenko had never beaten Roger in seven previous meetings, though he pushed him to a fourth-set tiebreak in their last match, in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. He was never allowed to find his rhythm as Roger varied the pace and angle of his attacks.
"In Australia, I had control from the baseline but today he was hitting too fast," said Davydenko. "Today was short points and he tried to hit faster. It's really different tennis. He's No.1. That's why I think he's winning everything, because he plays completely different."
Having reached his second grand slam semi-final, Davydenko said he is satisfied with his efforts. "Okay, I'm happy to be in the semi-finals. I am disappointed with my play, but not for losing."
I can still remember the final of Wimbledon 2005 against Roddick. He did not only lose the match that d

Wishing you the best of luck,
Dear Roger,
Now comes the final against Roddick.
We all know the head to head is 10-1, but the two best matches he's played against you were in the 2004 and 2005 Wimbledon finals. I think with Connors, Roddick has got some of his confidence back.
From Turin (Torino) I'll cross my fingers for you.
Please, beat Roddick, he is "nothing" near you.

Usually I don't like to use hard words... but today I really wish you could crash Andy Rodick down. You deserve a great classy victory! You know how to do it, even if it will not be easy... Go win this trophy please...
Always with you... T

I hope you will win

A $38,000 handbag not unheard of in luxury market
In this May 30, 2013 file photo, Oprah Winfrey speaks during Harvard University's commencement ceremonies in Cambridge, Mass. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File) by Jill Lawless LONDON (AP) — A $38,000 handbag? For most people, it's unthinkable. But for the richest sliver of the global population, like Oprah Winfrey, it's a realistic option — and buyers aren't short of choices.

Zalaegerszeg, city with county status and seat of Zala megye (county), western Hungary. It lies on the right bank of the Zala River. The town was of medieval origin and was a frontier fort in Hungary's wars with Turkey (16th–17th century). It was never occupied by the Turks. It was still a village when it was designated a county seat in 1730. It was given municipal rights in 1885. The city's notable buildings include the Göcsej Museum, with a rich historical and ethnographic collection; the twin-spired Baroque parish church (1750–60); and the County Council House Chapel (1761–77). The open-air Göcsej Village Museum is on the banks of the Zala River. (Göcsej is a nearby region noted for the peculiarities of its dialect and folklore.) The museum, a popular tourist attraction, displays more than 30 buildings, including timber houses, stables, and a water mill. Zalaegerszeg has varied industry, including the manufacture of furniture, tile, and clothing, as well as meatpacking. Pop. (2001) 61,654.
