Taxi and ride-sharing apps such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar are gearing up for one of the busiest nights of the year on Monday, hoping to raise prices, boost drivers' income – and head off criticism from passengers and lawmakers for doing so.
Uber was given a rough ride by some customers after last New Year's Eve, when they awoke not only with sore heads but lighter (digital) wallets due to the limo- and taxi-hire service's "surge pricing".
At times of peak demand, Uber pushes through price rises of up to four times as much as its regular fares, which are automatically charged to a credit card at the end of the journey.
Although it flagged the increases last year, some passengers – perhaps after a few drinks – failed to notice the warnings and ended up paying over $100 for short rides. Read more

A shinbone fracture is a break in the tibia. The tibia is the larger of 2 bones in the lower leg that connects the knee to the ankle. It runs on the inside of the lower leg. The fibula is much smaller and runs along the outside of the lower leg.
© Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A shinbone fracture is caused by trauma to the shinbone. Trauma includes:
Factors that may increase your chance of a shinbone fracture include:
Shinbone fracture may cause:
You will be asked about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The injured area will be examined.
The bones of your lower leg may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your shinbone. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your shinbone in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, walking boot, or cast. A walker or crutches will help you move around while keeping weight off your leg.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
Prescription or over-the-counter medications may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
Medications may include acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Talk to your doctor before taking over-the-counter medication.
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Healing time varies by age and your overall health. Children and people in better overall health heal faster. In general, it takes up to 4-6 months for a fractured shinbone to heal.
You will need to adjust your activities while your shinbone heals, but complete rest is rarely required. Ice and elevating your leg at rest may also be recommended to help with discomfort and swelling.
As you recover, you may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. Do not return to activities or sports until your doctor gives you permission to do so.

The current 2htdp/universe does not use 2htdp/image (it instead uses htdp/image). The 2htdp/image library is still pretty new and missing lots of image primitives. I hope to get more of them going soon and probably after that 2htdp/universe will switch over to using 2htdp/image. In the meantime, if all you want to do is program with images (but not use the world or universe stuff), you can just require 2htdp/image by itself. hth, Robby On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 1:15 AM, Eric Swenson <eric at swenson.org> wrote: > I'd like to be able to use the new "rotate" function in 2htdp/image in a > big-bang simulation.

OTTAWA — The Village of Ottawa is in possession of new preliminary
flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Although
the maps are in the draft stage, if finalized, they could indicate
increased need locally for flood insurance or changes in current flood
protection rates.
"The biggest change is that they did away with the "B" zones, changing them into "A" zones," explained Ottawa Assistant Municipal Director Jason Phillips at the June 11 meeting of the Blanchard River Flood Mitigation Coalition.
Flood zones are geographic areas that FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk and type of flooding.
"A" zones are high risk areas subject to inundation by the
one-percent-annual-chance flood event. An additional letter (see draft
of composite map) indicates depth of water. "B" zones are areas of
moderate to minimal risk. On previous local flood maps, the "B" zone indicated the 500 year flood plain.
to Phillips, FEMA will hold a series of advertised public meetings
about the maps before they are finalized, although no meetings have been
scheduled at this time.

It's official: One of America's favorite sandwich cookies is turning 100.
At Cooking Channel, we're especially excited to celebrate, since our office is located in the New York City Food Person landmark Chelsea Market. The first Oreo rolled off the line 100 years ago at NBC, or the National Biscuit Company, in the space were Chelsea Market currently stands.
And what better way to celebrate than by fusing Oreos with what every person, pet, and cookie deserves on its birthday: BIRTHDAY CAKE.
That's right: The flavor gurus at Nabisco have created a new birthday cake-flavored Oreo complete with rainbow sprinkle-flecked creme (obviously). And you better believe this Cooking Channel staffer tore open a box and tasted these birthday-cake bites of bliss.
The Taste Test:
- These Oreos are sweet — sweeter than the original variety. The creme filling, flecked with rainbow sprinkles throughout, tastes like birthday cake batter and frosting. If you like cake batter ice cream or Funfetti cake, these Oreos are for you.
- A few fellow staffers think they are too sweet. I say, if you open a box of Oreos and expect them not to be sweet, that's your problem. If you can't handle the birthday cake, get out of the cookie jar.
- The sweetness of the rainbow creme is nicely balanced by the not-too-sweet classic chocolate wafer.
- One taste-tester noticed that, due to the special design imprinted on the cookie to celebrate 100 years (pictured above), there are less ridges on the chocolate waver cookie, so the cookies have less surface area. The point? These Birthday Cake Oreos can withstand a good 10-second dunk in a glass of milk and still retain their crunch, unlike the Originals which get soggy faster. A definite plus in our book.
- If I had to give constructive criticism, the rainbow creme is a bit more liquid than the vanilla creme center of the Original Oreo, which can make for a messier Oreo-eating experience.
- Yes — we know you're wondering — the milk does turn slightly rainbow-colored when you dunk (think Froot Loops milk).
While they're delicious on their own, why not wow your friends or family this weekend and take them to new levels of Birthday Cake Oreo Ecstasy with one of these easy recipes?

54 Best Boots of the Season
An aristocrat famed for her debauched lifestyle, Sackville served as inspiration for multiple deviant characters in novels by Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh. Beautiful, well-read, and perennially barefoot, she spent much of her life in Africa and traveled in Kenya among a circle of Anglophone expats known for their flagrant promiscuity and copious drug use and referred to as the Happy Valley set. She lived her life embroiled in scandal—but one thing's for sure: she looked awfully good doing it.
She studied art in Paris, worked as an assistant to the photographer Erwin Blumenthal in New York, later worked as a photographer herself, and swanned about Truman Capote's elite circle of society women. But Agnelli was best known for her classic Italian beauty and her impeccably elegant sense of style.

Perth Wildcats title-winning coach Trevor Gleeson will link up with the Boomers' coaching staff as an assistant for the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.
Gleeson, who led the Wildcats to this season's NBL title, will assist head coach Andrej Lemanis as Australia's men's basketball team attempt to snare a medal at the August 30-September 15 tournament.
It will be Gleeson's first time working with the Boomers after more than 20 years of coaching in the USA, South Korea and the NBL.
He replaces 2013/14 NBL Coach of the year Gordie McLeod on the Boomers' staff with the Wollongong Hawks' mentor making himself unavailable for the World Cup.
Gleeson will join Cairns Taipans coach Mick Downer as a Boomers assistant.
Former NBA champion Luc Longley and NBL coaching legend Dr Adrian Hurley complete the coaching staff roster.
"With the young talent coming through the program now, it's an exciting time to be a part of the Boomers and we need to make sure we get the most out of the group in Spain," Gleeson said.
"I can't wait to get in there and help Andrej, and do all we can to get the players to perform on the world stage."
Lemanis was happy to secure the services of Gleeson.
"I always enjoyed competing against Trevor during my time in the NBL," Lemanis said.
"I really respected the way Trevor coached his team to the NBL Championship this year.
"His demeanour on the sidelines, the respect he had from his players and the style in which they played suggested a real maturity in his coaching."

Would you like some coal with that Christmas? photo by vsimon
I have gotten really good at making charcoal.
And become a danger in the kitchen.
A couple of weeks ago, I looked at the stove as I was reducing apple cider. There was a thick column of smoke leaving the pan. The pan and it's contents immediately went outside, leaving a trail of smoke behind me, stinking up the kitchen. The heavy stainless saucepan was salvaged later, with a lot of scrubbing.
Surprisingly, the smoke detector didn't go off.
Today it was waffles. I am using up my formerly vast collection of gluten free whole-grain flours. These were going to be Quinoa Cocoa Waffles. But I had only a little of quinoa flour left, so I had to mix in the rest of the teff flour, and then some amaranth flour to get the necessary 1 cup measure.
I made 4 squares without incident. We put a chocolate chips into each well and kept them warm in the toaster oven. The bittersweet chocolate got all nice and melty. We slathered peanut butter over the liquid chocolate. It got all nice and melty too. Vince put some maple syrup (real of course) on his waffle. I skipped it since I didn't want the extra sweetness.
Meanwhile I put the remainder of the batter in the waffle maker and sat down to enjoy a lovely lunch while we watched FoodTV.
You can guess what happened.
Two shows and an hour later I got up to do the dishes. Darn, I could see that the waffle maker was still plugged in. There was only the faintest acrid smell. And I was afraid to open the lid for fear of another column of smoke. The ceiling is white, I'd like to keep it that way.
Inside was a nice piece of charcoal though. And I did check the smoke detector.

Groene at the Legislature: Holding NRDs responsible
Groene, colleagues short-sighted on NRD funds
More opinion
NFU urges smooth, transparent transition to Fair Trade framework
New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
The price of gas is once again rising in Nebraska and across the nation. The average price of gasoline in our state now tops $3.60 a gallon, up more than 3 cents from last week.
These increases not only cause more pain at the pump, but also hurt nearly every part of our economy by increasing transportation costs.
Agriculture is the backbone of our economy in rural Nebraska. Farmers and ranchers in the Third District have told me how spikes in the price of fuel increase the costs at every stage of production and ultimately hurt consumers.
For example, a farmer in York County explained he uses up to two gallons of fuel per acre for tillage, a third of a gallon of fuel per acre to plant, and about two and a half gallons of fuel per acre to harvest. He also uses six diesel wells for irrigation, and must use even more fuel to fertilize his crops.
With 1,500 acres of corn, a small uptick in the price of fuel can quickly add up even before it is transported.
The same farmer says a 50 cent increase in the cost of diesel increases his transportation costs by 10 cents per mile.
He averages 40,000 miles a year hauling corn. Ultimately, these increases will be paid by end-users such as livestock producers and consumers in the form of higher feed and food costs.
The more hardworking families have to spend on food, fuel, and other essential expenses, the less money they keep from their paychecks to save or spend.
As gas prices go up, the cost of products continues to rise, especially those transported to port. This could make our agricultural exports less competitive in foreign markets, undermining the success of expanded international trade in recent years.
Despite the serious threat rising gas prices pose to our economy, President Obama did not address this problem in a major speech on the economy this week likely because the Presidents energy proposals would further increase the cost of fuel by limiting American energy production.
We are taking a different approach in the House of Representatives. We understand generating more American power and fuel from all sources would lower costs.
We are working to enact an all-of-the-above strategy to utilize our vast domestic resources, reduce regulatory obstacles, and take advantage of new drilling techniques.
This strategy could help make our nation energy independent, grow our economy, strengthen national security, and create jobs. Only then can we lessen the threat of high gas prices to our economy, and ease the pain at the pump.

The Australian Greens have vowed to oppose a coalition attempt to freeze the $10 billion in a government climate change fund ahead of the September election.
The opposition's finance spokesman Andrew Robb and its climate action spokesman Greg Hunt have written to directors of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation warning them not to enter into any funding contracts.
The corporation begins funding new energy and technology ventures from July 1.
"This is an example of how dangerous the coalition would be in government," Greens leader Christine Milne told reporters in Canberra on Tuesday.
The corporation would help the rolling-out of large scale renewable energy technologies such as solar, Senator Milne said.
"That is what Australians want."
She dismissed the coalition's argument that the government would be in caretaker mode from July.
The Greens would not allow a coalition government to repeal legislation setting up the fund, Senator Milne said.
Mr Robb said a coalition government would abolish the "slush fund", which he predicted would be "pink batts revisited".
"Every dollar of this clean energy fund will be borrowed money and it will be provided to projects which the private sector won't touch with a barge pole," he told reporters.
"So here we are again with the prospect of more waste. This is another pink batts exercise."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/1/2013 (1677 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For now, the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission is saddled with one of the most complex regulatory regimes in Canadian alcohol licensing, with a total of 12 different licence categories. Eleven sets of rules govern alcohol sales to the public.
1. DINING ROOMS: A $300 annual fee covers a liquor licence for a restaurant with tables, seats and a menu of at least five meals. Alcohol may be served along with food between 9 a.m. and 2 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays, but only 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sundays. Alcohol must comprise no more than 60 per cent of the revenue; food must comprise no less than 40 per cent.
2. COCKTAIL LOUNGES: Restaurants with dining-room licences may apply for an additional $500-a-year licence allowing alcohol sales without food at a lounge at the same address. The seating capacity of the lounge can't exceed that of the dining room. The same alcohol-service hours apply. The alcohol sold in the lounge, however, counts toward the 60-40 alcohol-vs.food ratio that must be maintained for the entire operation — the dining room and the lounge.
3. BEVERAGE ROOMS: Hotels with "a sufficient number of guest rooms" as determined by the MLCC, an MLCC hotel-registration certificate and a dining-room licence may obtain a $500 annual licence to sell alcohol in a beverage room. Beverage rooms do not have to sell food but must make at least two hot items available. Liquor sales are allowed from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Mondays through Saturdays, but only noon to 2 a.m. Sundays.
4. RETAILERS: Beer vendors on the property of an MLCC-registered hotel and retailers attached to a brewery, wine manufacturer, distiller or sacramental wine producer may obtain a $500-a-year licence for retail sales between 9 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon and 2:30 a.m. Sundays.
5. CABARETS: Venues offering live entertainment — as defined by the MLCC — may apply for a $500-a-year licence to sell alcohol during the same hours as the beverage rooms in hotels.
Cabarets must offer at least five menu items but are not subject food-vs.alcohol sales ratios.
6. SPORTS FACILITIES: Golf courses, bowling alleys, rinks, racquet-sports courts, athletic fields, billiard rooms, ski hills, hunting or fishing lodges and facilities offering simulated sports may apply for a $300-a-year licence to sell alcohol during the same hours as dining rooms — but only when the sports activity in question is taking place.
Sports facilities must have kitchens and a menu of at least five meals, but food-alcohol ratios do not apply.
7. SPECTATOR ACTIVITIES: Theatres, concert halls, convention centres and fairgrounds may apply for a $500-ayear licence to sell alcohol during the same hours as dining rooms — but only when an event relating to that venue is taking place. Food-alcohol ratios do not apply.
8. PRIVATE CLUBS: Private clubs for veterans, sports organizations or "fraternal organizations" may apply for a $500-a-year licence to sell alcohol from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays — and depending on the club, some hours on Sundays — to members of the club and signed-in guests. Only members and their guests can be on the premises.
9. TRANSPORTATION: Inner-city bus lines, cruise ships, railway operators and international airports may apply for a $300-a-year alcohol-sales licence, with hours dependent on the type of transportation.
10. CANTEENS: The operator of a military or police canteen may apply for a $300-a-year liquor licence.
11. MANUFACTURERS: Beer, wine and liquor producers.
12. BREW PUBS: A licence is available for brew pubs, though as of December 2012, none existed in Manitoba.
The Saskatchewan Liquor & Gaming Authority has five liquor-licence categories, but only three governing alcohol sales.
1. RESTAURANTS: One licence for establishments where the primary source of revenue comes from the preparation and sale of food.
2. TAVERNS: Establishments where alcohol sales are the main source of revenue.
3. SPECIAL-USE PERMITS: A catch-all liquor licence governing private clubs, sports facilities, rail cars, limousines, airplanes, buses, theatres, concert halls, airport lounges, universities, military canteens, stadiums, remote fishing and hunting lodges, fairgrounds, seniors homes, casinos, bingo halls and alcohol home-delivery services.
4. MANUFACTURERS: Beer, wine and liquor producers.
5. U-BREW/U-VIN: An operational permit for businesses that provide beer-making or wine-making equipment and supplies on the premises, for the production of beer and wine consumed in private places.
Despite its uptight reputation, Canada's most populous province also boasts the nation's least bureaucratic liquor-licensing regime. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario issues only two licences — one for sale of alcohol and the other for manufacturing.
1. SALES: A uniform set of rules applies to all businesses and non-profit organizations that sell alcohol. As of 2011, there are no longer any restrictions governing what sort of establishments can sell booze.
2. MANUFACTURERS: Beer, wine and liquor producers.

ASHLAND, Ore. –Saturday's match against the Southern Oregon Raiders ended in a 2-2 draw as Coach Curtis Lewis and his Lady Mustangs avoided their second consecutive loss and left the Southern Oregon University Classic with a 1-1-1 season record.
TMC drew first blood early at the 4:34 mark when Shea Richards scored off a Janelle Sullivan assist, putting the Mustangs up 1-0. SOU answered back at 29:24 on an unassisted Stephanie Carr goal, and evened the field at 1-1.
Early in the second half, the Raiders notched their second and final goal at the 46:48 mark when Danielle Stave put a shot by Mustang goalie Ilyssa Espiritu. Espiritu was stingy the rest of the way and notched four saves in the process.
TMC answered back 34 minutes later at 80:15 with another shot off the foot of Shea Richards. Danielle Hollinger assisted with goal that tied the match at 2-2.
After two overtimes, both teams defense shined as the match came down to a decisive 2-2 draw. Although the Raiders recorded more shots on goal (9-2), the Mustangs actually had more total shots (19-16) but couldn't capitalize until Richard's late-game heroics.
The Lady Mustangs will have little time to prepare for their next match as they take to the pitch against no. 13 CSU San Marcos on Wednesday, August 29th. Match time is scheduled for 5:00 pm in Oceanside.

MuppetZine was a fanzine that ran from 1992 to 1997. The small-press zine was created by Danny Horn (who later created the Tough Pigs website) and featured illustrations by Chris Smigliano.
Sent out quarterly, the zine included reviews of current Muppet merchandise, news of productions in development, cartoons, several editorials, and interviews with Jerry Juhl, Bill Barretta and Jim Lewis.
After the MuppetFest event in 2001, a special edition of MuppetZine was created called "MuppetFest Memories." With no publicly released video, this and online accounts of the weekend are the only documentation available to fans of the only official Muppet fan convention to date.

Christian Bale is a 'consummate professional'
An audio tape of Christian Bale going ballistic on the set of Terminator: Salvation made the Internet rounds yesterday. The incident occurred over the summer at the same time Christian was being falsely accused of assaulting his mother. So he decided to verbally assault a director of photography who stepped into a shot by telling him to "Get off the set! You prick!" and other F-bomb laced suggestions. But Terminator assistant director Bruce Franklin says Batman was just having a bad day and is a "consummate professional," according to E! News:
"If you are working in a very intense scene and someone takes you out of your groove…It was the most emotional scene in the movie," said Franklin. "And for him to get stopped in the middle of it. He is very intensely involved in his character. He didn't walk around like that all day long. It was just a moment and it passed.
"This was my second movie with Christian, and it has always been a good experience with him," added Franklin, who also worked with the actor on 2000's Shaft. "He is so dedicated to the craft. I think someone is begging to make some noise about this, but I don't think it's fair. The art of acting is not paint by numbers, it's an art form."
The most emotional scene in a Terminator movie? It must've been the part when he really kills that robot with a grenade launcher and says something witty like "Made in Taiwan, motherfucker." *sniff* I'm getting all misty-eyed just thinking about it….

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 12.5.12
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed which basks in the warm afterglow of a Jon Hamm's penis post. It's like that moment just after sex, where you roll over, light that cigarette, untie the belt from your neck and press pause on your Mad Men DVD if I'm observing Fish correctly through these binoculars. Anyway, today's gallery has a few of the usual players, like Tara Reid, who doesn't seem as hammered as usual and Elle Macpherson who does. We've also got Fabio taking a page from Sharon Stone's career resurrection manual and Chris Noth either eating falafel or was just really happy to see Jon Hamm.

The recent controversy over up-and-coming rapper Azealia Banks's use of the word "faggot" in her twitter feud with gossip blogger Perez Hilton has gotten a lot of people up in arms, including Jake Shears, lead singer of the Scissor Sisters, as well as the LGBT media organization GLAAD. Banks's defense that the word doesn't, in her view, refer to a "homosexual male" but rather to any "male acting like a female" seems to have only added sexist/anti-feminist fuel to the fire.
So who, if anyone, gets to use the "F" word? Are there any contexts in which use of the word isn't considered offensive?
It's impossible to discuss the "F" word without bringing up its even more controversial cousin, the "N" word. Roxane Gay, in her recent article on BuzzFeed, "Surviving Django," discusses how she felt hearing the word repeated over 100 times in the movie "Django Unchained," and opines that perhaps Tarantino's decision to defend its use as historically accurate seems a tad convenient, considering the film's numerous historical inaccuracies and fictions in other areas. I don't agree with Gay's assessment of the film—I think the movie brutally reinforces the evils of slavery, and claiming "Django" is really just about a white man working through his own racial demons and white guilt seems reductive and pop-psychological—but then again, I'm not African-American. Could I really say that I wouldn't be offended by a straight male director making a movie where the use of the word "f—–" was used 110 times, even in a gay revenge fantasy? I doubt it.
Probably the biggest difference between the "N" and "F" words has to do with their degree of reclamation by the groups which these words target. Many African-Americans may lament the widespread use of the "N" word, but few will disagree that it is used, every day, by black people all over the country. It's pretty much understood that black people have a certain right to use the word which other groups do not—even if the word isn't exactly empowering. But gay people do not use the word "f—–" to the same extent that African-Americans use the "N" word. (Notice that, even here, I am loathe to write out the word; I just can't bring myself to do so, it's that charged for me.) The "F" word still carries a potent sting for us, and if you're of a certain generation like me, you probably heard it all the time growing up—in high school, on the street, in movies, perhaps even at home. In the 1980's we had Sebastian Bach wearing an "AIDS Kills F— Dead" t-shirt and Eddie Murphy's legendary routine in the movie "Raw," where he spends a good fifteen minutes casually tossing around the word, as many people did at the time; society hadn't yet decided that its use wasn't acceptable. To this day, there are few words that are more humiliating and derogatory to call a teenage boy. Perhaps, given another thirty or forty years, gay men will reclaim the word "f—–" much as African-Americans have reclaimed the "N" word. Perhaps when we have enough successes with our own civil rights movement and we enter an era when most straight people feel shamed from using the word pejoratively, we might start using it more casually.
Or perhaps not. Maybe those African-Americans decrying the casual use of the "N" word have a point; maybe detaching the word from its historical context and implications, trying to dilute its power by overuse, might make us forget why we decided the word was so bad in the first place. Few (straight) people know much about the historical context of the word "f—–." Well, quite a few hipsters may have picked it up from a particularly memorable episode of "Louie," where Louie's gay comic friend Rick Crom decides to school his straight compadres over a poker game and explain to them that their casual use of the word in their routines may not be as funny as they think. In classic "Louie" form, the scene starts off funny and becomes increasingly uncomfortable and painful when Rick explains that "f——" were the bundles of sticks used for kindling to burn witches at the stake in the Middle Ages, but since people considered homosexuals too "low and disgusting" to burn at the stake, they would just throw them into the fire along with the other "f—–s." I highly doubt Azaelia Banks knew about this before she sent off that tweet. Or perhaps, she thinks, that like the "N" word, using the "F" word more frequently may make it more empowering. I'm pretty sure that's not her decision to make, however, despite the fact that she says she's bisexual.
So do gay men ever use the word "f—–"? It's much more common for gay men to use words like "b—-" "queen" and "girl" to chide each other. (Not going to win us points with feminists, I know.) "F—–," however, is usually reserved for the bedroom, in role-play situations, precisely because the word is still so charged. Because it's another gay man using it, it doesn't seem offensive to us, since it's being used in a mutually consensual situation.
People intrinsically understand that words have power, and I'm not sure we want them to lose their power either. I'm no fan of Perez Hilton, but had the roles been reversed, and had he used the "N" word (or worse, the "C" word) against Azealia Banks, she and everyone else would have called for his head. Deciding that the "F" word is a special case or attributing other meanings to it isn't going to cut it in 2013, and I for one am happy to see the "F" word continue its slide into the refuge of bigots and ignoramuses.

Public libraries perform unique and critical roles in their communities. These roles evolve and change with the needs of the people they serve, and they often include economic development, adult and early childhood literacy, support for government programs and more. In response to local funding pressures and the changing needs of their users, public libraries work with OCLC to automate back-office activities, improve services for users and increase the impact of public libraries as a whole.
Satisfy a wider range of needs through worldwide resource sharing
Stow - Munroe Falls Public Library is known in the region as the go-to library for interlibrary loan requests. It's a testament to the staff's can-do attitude. They rely on easy access to other libraries' materials through a global resource sharing network as an essential part of how they serve their community.
Empower staff to learn on their own
The Morrison Regional Branch of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library provided staff with time to devote to self-directed learning. That helped them become more familiar with the library's tools and technology and directly improved service to their patrons.
Read Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's story
Increase accessibility to digitized special collections
The Seattle Public Library wanted to increase online access to its historical digital collections. Because of limited IT support and staff time, they chose a hosted service that they could easily customize right out of the box.
Bring health information to your community
Librarians at Miami Public Library know that the community relies on their resources. After identifying a need for better access to health information, the library launched an effort to establish strong health literacy programs and services for both staff and patrons.
Get time back to focus on priorities
Like many public libraries, the Onondaga County Public Library system has had to do more with less. The loss of dedicated cataloging staff, however, coincided with a growing need for important local resources. Access to cooperative cataloging with high match rates helped them bridge that gap.
Pull your archives out of the basement and share them with the world
South Perth Public Library houses an archive of historic local photographs and delicate original art that was nearly inaccessible to the public because of preservation concerns. By digitizing the collection and posting it online, the library has facilitated access and encouraged interest in its community from across the globe.
Point patrons in the right direction
Today's public libraries provide access to a wider and more complex set of materials than ever before. Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library's goal is to help anyone find resources on any topic. The tool they use for shelf classification provides a great way for patrons to browse and uncover resources that they might otherwise have missed.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1665 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The fate of a disgraced aboriginal youth leader remains in question after the judge in his sexual assault case agreed to have a psychiatrist conduct a risk assessment on him.
Thomas Edwards was due to be sentenced Wednesday morning for sexually assaulting two male youths between 2003 and 2007. Edwards fondled and molested them under the guise of performing an aboriginal "healing or cleansing ceremony."
He was convicted on Sept. 9, 2012 after a two-week trial.
Crown attorney Jennifer Mann asked the judge for a lengthy jail term. She requested 18 months for his conviction for touching one youth sexually, and another four years for sexually assaulting a victim and refusing to let him leave the room they were in.
Defence counsel Ryan Rolston argued for a conditional sentence of two years less a day.
Queen's Bench Justice Colleen Suche said she is concerned that Edwards has not admitted his guilt and that many of his supporters also believe he is innocent.
"How do I deal with rehabilitation if somebody doesn't acknowledge they've ever done the act?" Suche said. "How can they be rehabilitated?"
Rolston said it has been five years since Edwards was arrested and he has met his bail conditions. He is employed, and engaged to marry.
Crown attorney Jennifer Mann said she believes Edwards continues to pose a danger. He was a teacher when he was arrested. Fired from that job, he took another teaching position on the Lake Manitoba reserve. He was fired from that one, too.
"His modus operandi is being a loving, caring person who people can't believe would do this. He has no remorse and is not accepting responsibility. He does pose a risk and that should be taken into consideration."
Edwards gained prominence several years ago as one of the key members of the National Aboriginal Role Model program. Its website lists him as an aspiring actor and public speaker who was dedicated to helping enrich the lives of young people within his community.

What are the advantages of making biweekly mortgage payments?
A biweekly payment plan is a formal method of prepaying your mortgage. Under a biweekly payment schedule, you make a payment on your mortgage every two weeks instead of once a month. Each of these payments is roughly equal to one-half of a normal monthly payment. By making biweekly payments, you end up making an extra payment over the course of each year (26 half payments are equal to 13 full payments). You also pay less interest in the long term, because payments are applied to your principal balance more frequently. Ask your lender if it offers a biweekly payment schedule and if it charges a fee for this service.
Before you sign up for a biweekly payment schedule, ask your lender whether or not a penalty exists for dropping out of the program. Once you sign up for the program, you may discover that you cannot afford the extra payment or are unable to keep up with the biweekly payment schedule. If the structure of a biweekly payment plan does not work out for you, consider making monthly payments and adding a little extra whenever you can. You can also budget your money so that you are sending in one extra payment a year whenever possible.

• stereophonic •
Pronunciation: stee-ree-o-fahn-ik • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Binaural, related to a sound system that relies on two discrete channels to produce a sense of more realistically distributed sound.
Notes: Today's Good Word is seldom used any more; it is more often shortened to just stereo. A sound system with more than two speakers is referred to as surround sound. Stereophonic is accompanied, naturally, by an adverb, stereophonically, and your choice of two nouns: stereophony or stereophonics. A set of stereo headphones can be called a stereophone.
In Play: The idea behind stereophonic sound systems is that sounds recorded on the left side of a musical group go predominantly into the left ear, and sounds recorded on the right side, go primarily into the right ear of the listener: "Granddad, who was completely deaf in one ear, couldn't see the benefit of a stereo sound system." We can always stretch the meaning of stereophonic a little bit: "When I asked mom and dad if I could have a party in the house while they are out of town, I received a stereophonic "No!"
Word History: Today's Good Word would be a compound in Greek, made up of the Greek words stereos "solid" + phone "sound, voice". Apparently, adding depth to the aural experience was considered making the sound more solid by those who gave the system its English name. The original word that came to be stereos in Greek apparently meant "stiff", because it shows up in English as stare, starch, stark, and stern, all referring to one kind of stiffness or another. Phone turns up in many English borrowings from Greek, the most obvious being telephone, literally "distant voice", and the now old-timey word phonograph, literally "sound writer". (Let's now thank Doug Coppock, an Arkansan who enjoys stereophonic sound, for suggesting today's doubly Good Word.)

A Croxley Green pensioner renowned locally for his impressive Christmas lights display has enjoyed his "best year ever" raising £4,000 for various causes.
Dave Edwards, 79, and his wife have put on a festive light show at his Lancing Way home for each of the last 34 years, earning him the nickname Mr Christmas.
This year's total is more than £500 higher than 2011's record-breaking collection and will be used to benefit the Hospice of St Francis, Malvern Way School and POD, a charity providing children's entertainers in hospitals.
He is due to visit the hospice later today to present a cheque for £2,000; the other two causes received cheques last week.
Mr Edwards said: "We did very well, the total was just under £4,000 but two people gave us cheques to make up the difference, otherwise we would have do so ourselves.
"Considering people have not got that much money to give up at the moment that is a brilliant total.
"We were really helped by the Masonic lodge that gave us a cheque for £500.
"We got a wonderful response to the lights themselves and we met so many people this year, we always try to give sweets to the children when they come to look at them.
"It was very, very nice, the best year ever."
The electricity bill for the lights and the cost of replacing broken decorations mean it costs the couple roughly £1,000 per year to stage the event but every penny donated goes to the chosen charities.
Despite his advancing years Mr Edwards says he has no plans to stop the event, which has become an important part of the festive period for many residents, but may need a little help.
He said: "In all the years we have been doing it I have not had a single complaint.
"I have a friend who is a builder and he and an employee came and took the lights down on January 6 and asked me to let him know when they need to go back up again.
"Everyone appreciates what we do and they don't want us to stop doing it.
"I hope to still be doing it when I'm 85 although I may not be able to go up the ladders at all by that point.
"It would be bad if we stopped now but I think we have more or less committed to doing it for the near future."

Current Research
Rationalisation and Enhancement of Historic British Archaeology Collection
(Two-year Arts and Humanities Research Council Resource Enhancement grant funded project)
The British archaeological collections at the Ashmolean Museum are central to the history of antiquarianism and archaeology in Britain. Their nucleus is also of national significance as a scientific resource, and includes material resulting from pioneering work carried out in the Thames Valley under the auspices of the Museum up to the 1960s. The project provides a two-year programme of work with the aim of enhancing both physical and intellectual access to the collections by the general public and by researchers alike.
Archives and Artefacts: Exploring the past through A2A and the work of E T Leeds
(HLF funded project in partnership with the Access to Archives Programme of The National Archives, Oxfordshire Sites and Monuments Record, and the Oxfordshire Record Office)
The project concerns the archive and work of Edward Thurlow Leeds, former Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum and pioneer of landscape archaeology in the Thames Valley, the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, and of the technique of integrating research on documentary archives with archaeological data in investigating the historical past. The project has conserved, organized and for the first time create a catalogue of his papers, which is now universally accessible at Access to Archives (A2A). The project has also involved research and documentation on artefacts in the Ashmolean Museum from sites in Oxfordshire excavated by E T Leeds. More details of Anglo-Saxon and other sites excavated by E T Leeds can be found on this website.
Go to Archives and Artefacts: Exploring the past through A2A and the work of E T Leeds web pages
The project has also used the Ashmolean's collection of Anglo-Saxon artefacts as the basis for an educational website aimed at children. This was created with the help of the Ashmolean Education Service and two primary schools in Oxford: Anglo-Saxon Discovery.
Preserving and Enhancing Access to Historic Oxfordshire
(HLF funded project in partnership with the Oxfordshire Sites and Monuments Record, and the Oxfordshire Record Office)
At the Ashmolean Museum five documentary archives have been identified, each associated with a major figure in the history of the archaeological investigation of Oxfordshire, about 1870-1950. All of these archives are striking for the importance of the information they contain and for the current lack of knowledge concerning their contents in the public domain. The project will integrate the information with the Oxfordshire Records Office and Oxfordshire Sites and Monuments Record and make the information freely available for local history and other research. An online learning resource will also be created based on these records for educational and recreational use.

The Sir John Evans Centenary Project
The Sir John Evans Centenary Project
The Sir John Evans Centenary Project was started in 2003 with the aim of fully documenting and cataloguing the collection and archive of this key figure in the history of archaeology, and to make the resulting resource accessible through the Internet by the centenary of Evans's death in 2008. The completion of the project will be marked by both a major exhibition and publication, which will explore his contribution to the development of archaeology with special reference to his international intellectual network.
Current Work: Sir John Evans and the Development of Archaeology in Nineteenth-Century Europe
(Three-year Leverhulme Trust funded project in partnership with the Heberden Coin Room, 9/05-8/08)
The aim of the project is the documentation and development of an accessible body of information concerning Evans' international collecting activities and intellectual networks, with special attention to the cross-national development of ideas regarding antiquity in the late Victorian period. The Leverhulme Trust also funded a one-year project for a multi-lingual Research Assistant to locate, translate and catalogue Evans's correspondence with his international colleagues (2003-2004).
Previous Work: Private Faces in Public Places
Part of 2-year archival project for the South East region funded by the HLF (2002-2003).
As the Ashmolean part of this project, a professional catalogue of the Sir John Evans archive was made and mounted on the Access to Archives website of The National Archives where it is available for consultation.
The Sir Arthur Evans Archive Project
The Arthur Evans archive consists of the archaeological records and papers of Sir Arthur Evans (Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum, 1884-1908). A large part of these relate to his travels in Crete (1894-1899) and his excavations at Knossos (1900-1931).
The Cataloguing Project
The Ashmolean has been working to catalogue and improve public access to this unique archive since 1997, with the assistance of a grant from the J. Paul Getty Trust.
Digital Archives Project (Knossos excavations)
As part of the Oxford Digital Library Project (2005-2006), funded by the Mellon Foundation, a new project was initiated with the aim to digitize large format elements of the Arthur Evans archive. The documents that have been digitized so far (over 800) include both architectural drawings and fresco reconstruction drawings from Evans�s work at Knossos. The documents relate both to the site as it was uncovered and to the reconstructions carried out in situ by Evans and his architects. These reveal information not disclosed in the selectively published plans and/or obscured by the restorations. The series of fresco reconstruction drawings, which reveal different stages and versions of reconstruction also have a crucial role in revealing information about the original state of the frescoes lost or obscured in the published reconstructions.
The long-term aim is to create a searchable website that will include these architectural, fresco and object drawings along with the contents of the Knossos notebooks (with transcriptions), an online catalogue of archival photographs and a catalogue of the A.J. Evans correspondence housed at the Ashmolean.
A temporary test database (with about 200 drawings) is available online
Linear B tablets as never before seen
The Ashmolean Museum of the University of Oxford has recently launched a website on the "Sir Arthur Evans Archive" providing a first, basic, overview of its holdings (http://sirarthurevans.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/). Although not to item level, the website is a welcome addition and promises to be a very useful tool for Aegean Archaeology (especially for those interested in Minoan archaeology and its history). The website is based on the work of Dr Yannis Galanakis (formerly the curator for the Bronze Age Aegean collections and the Sir Arthur Evans archive at the Ashmolean and currently Lecturer in Aegean Archaeology at the University of Cambridge). One of the innovations of the website, instigated by Dr Galanakis in collaboration with Oxford's RTI team (Dr Jacob Dahl, Klaus Wagensonner and Nicholas Reid), is the digitization of the museum's small, but representative, Linear B collection from Knossos. The technology applied (RTI: Reflectance Transformation Imaging) allows for the best possible reading of these tablets online as it were under a completely new light:
With the RTIViewer (free to download - following instructions in the webpage given above), you can access the Linear B photographs by cutting and pasting the url into the application (using the globe and folder icon to the right of the main screen of the RTIViewer).

The Oxford-Batumi Pichvnari Excavation
Since 1998, the Department has participated in the excavation of a Greek/Colchian settlement and necropolis at Pichvnari on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. A monograph on the first five years' work was published in 2004, and can be viewed online on the Reports Page of the Pichvnari Web site.
Reflectance Transformation Imaging for the Study of Ancient Documentary Artefacts (RTISAD)
RTISAD is a collaborative pilot project between the University of Oxford (Faculty of Oriental Studies) and the University of Southampton, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The RTI system is being tested on a range of inscribed artefacts from amongst the rich and diverse collections of the Department of Antiquities at the Ashmolean Museum. The imaging system developed by the project will allow researchers to study documentary and other artefacts remotely (online) in great detail and without being restricted by the fixed lighting angles of traditional photography and scanning where details can be obscured by shadows. In developing the RTI system, the project aims to ensure that high-quality digital images of inscribed artifacts, viewable from multiple light sources, can be consulted by scholars and the general public around the world.

Media echoed baseless claim that Dean is a fund-raising failure
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
In recent days, media figures have repeated the baseless claim that Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Howard Dean is not an effective fund-raiser. These claims echo an assertion in a June 6 BusinessWeek article that misleadingly compared DNC fund-raising with money that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has raised this year. But a more relevant metric of fund-raising by the Dean-led DNC -- a comparison of this year's receipts with receipts in 2003 and 2001, the most recent election off-years -- proves that Dean's fund-raising efforts have surpassed those of his predecessor.
Following are examples of cable news hosts and reporters drawing attention to Dean's alleged fund-raising woes:
- In response to former U.S. Sen. Zell Miller's (D-GA) comment that Dean "only raised about half the amount of money last quarter that the Republicans raised," Fox News host Sean Hannity stated that former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe "raised a boatload of money for the Democratic Party." He then added: "That seems to now be going south." [Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, 6/6/05]
- CNN host Lou Dobbs referred to "the slow pace of [Dean's] fund-raising for the Democrats." [CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, 6/6/05]
- Fox News reporter Kelly Wright cited a June 4 report by the right-wing news website NewsMax.com that "Howard Dean may be out at the DNC" due to "a woeful job of fund-raising for the party." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 6/6/05]
- MSNBC host Monica Crowley asserted that "when the Democrats chose Howard Dean to be the leader of their party, they thought he'd energize the base, they thought he would raise a lot of money. And in fact, he's done neither." She later said: "According to the Federal Election Commission, the DNC raised $14.1 million in the first quarter of this year versus the Republican National Committee's $32.3 million bucks. Bottom line here: under Dean's tutelage the Republicans have $26.2 million in the bank versus a paltry $7.2 million for the Democrats. If he can't raise money, which is essentially why he was hired, can he survive much longer?" [MSNBC's Connected: Coast-to-Coast, 6/7/05]
In fact, Dean raised $14.8 million between February and April 2005 (the latest data available), compared with the DNC's $8.5 million during that period in 2003, the previous non-election year, and compared with the DNC's $13.7 million in so-called "hard money" raised in the first six months of 2001. (It should be noted that since 2001, the contribution limits to national parties have increased as a result of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.)
Moreover, the DNC has raised more in comparison to the RNC over the past three months than it did during 2003. The RNC raised $32.4 million between February and April, about 2.2 times the rate of the Democrats, as Media Matters for America noted; over the same period in 2003, the RNC raised $25.7 million, more than three times the rate of the DNC. Media Matters compiled statistics from February through April, rather than the first-quarter statistics that BusinessWeek used, because Dean did not assume leadership of the DNC until February 12.
In addition, Crowley's comparison of the parties' cash-on-hand totals distorted the current state of Democratic party finances. She failed to note that the "$7.2 million for the Democrats" is nearly double the $3.9 million the DNC had on hand at the end of the first quarter of 2003.
Both Crowley and NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell also misleadingly reported that large contributions to the DNC are on the decline as the result of Dean's leadership. On the May 6 edition of NBC Nightly News, Mitchell stated, "Big contributions are way down, even for a non-election year." On the May 7 edition of MSNBC's Connected: Coast to Coast, Crowley repeated the claim in a report on Dean's chairmanship. "Big contributions are down," she stated. "Way down." But Crowley and Mitchell's focus only on big donors falsely suggests that overall Democratic fund-raising has declined.

PHILADELPHIA — In the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.
Philadelphia hired Kelly on Wednesday, just 10 days after he decided to stay at Oregon. The 49-year-old Kelly, known as an offensive innovator, becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season.
He'll be introduced at a news conference Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the Eagles' practice facility.
Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, interviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in a two-day span after leading the fast-flying Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl Jan. 3.
The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candidates, including two meetings with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. All along, Kelly was thought to be Philadelphia's first choice in a long, exhaustive process that took many twists.
"Chip Kelly will be an outstanding head coach for the Eagles," owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. "He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh energetic approach to our team."
On the day he fired Reid, Lurie appeared to be describing Kelly when he said he wanted to find a "real smart, forward-thinking coach" who is "strategic, a strong leader, very comfortable in his own skin."
The enigmatic Kelly reportedly was close to signing with the Browns after a long interview Jan. 4. He met with the Eagles for nine hours the next day, setting up a soap-opera scenario in which the Eagles were competing with Browns CEO Joe Banner, their former president and longtime friend of Lurie who left the organization after a falling out. But that roller coaster ended when Kelly opted to remain — temporarily — in Eugene, Ore.
"It's a very difficult decision for me. It took me so long to make it just because the people here are special," Kelly told KEZI-TV. "The challenge obviously is exciting for me, but it's an exciting time and it's a sad time — saying goodbye to people you love and respect, and I wanted to make sure I talked to my players and did it in the right fashion and talked to our staff. I feel I did."
The Eagles interviewed two other high-profile college coaches — Penn State's Bill O'Brien and Notre Dame's Brian Kelly. Both of them elected to stay with their schools.
Bradley was considered by many to be the leading contender, though former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and former Ravens coach Brian Billick were in the mix.
That all changed when Kelly had a change of heart.
The visor-wearing Kelly built Oregon into a national powerhouse. The Ducks went to four straight BCS bowl games — including a bid for the national championship against Auburn two seasons ago — and have won three conference championships.
Kelly originally went to Oregon in 2007 as offensive coordinator under Mike Bellotti. Before that, he was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, where he started devising the innovative hurry-up offense the Ducks are known for now.
Oregon finished last season 12-1. The team was ranked No. 1 and appeared headed for another shot at the national championship until a 17-14 loss to Stanford Nov. 17.
Ducks athletic director Rob Mullens said Wednesday that Kelly called him at 7:15 a.m. PST to tell him he had changed his mind: "He wasn't sure if that opportunity would present itself again, so he felt this was the right one at the right time."
Mullens now faces a coaching search amid recruiting season.
"I've turned the page," Mullens said. "I was surprised when I got the call this morning, but as the leader of this organization, my focus is on moving forward and that's what we're doing. I'm laser focused on what's next, and that's finding the right fit to lead Oregon football."
It's unknown whether the possibility of NCAA sanctions based on Oregon's use of recruiting services factored into Kelly's reversal. He indicated in Arizona that he isn't running from anything.
"We've cooperated fully with them," he said. "If they want to talk to us again, we'll continue to cooperate fully. I feel confident in the situation."
Kelly doesn't have any pro coaching experience, but aspects of his up-tempo offense are already being used by New England and Washington.
The Eagles fired Reid after two forgettable years. A late flurry brought the team to an 8-8 finish last season, but this season, Philadelphia endured an eight-game losing streak, and dropped 11 of its final 12. A 3-1 start soon washed away, and Reid's 14-year tenure ended not long after. Within a week, Reid was Kansas City's new coach.
Still, Kelly has tough shoes to fill. Reid won more games than any coach in franchise history and led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles, five conference championship games and one Super Bowl berth.
Kelly and the Eagles have the No. 4 overall pick in the draft as well as some talented players on offense who could fit his up-tempo scheme. Running back LeSean McCoy and wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin seem like an ideal match. Quarterback Nick Foles, however, isn't.
"I've never run the zone read," Foles said after the season. "I'm more of a dropback guy. I've been under center. I've been in the gun. If I can adapt, I want to. But I'm not a zone-read quarterback. Some people are gifted with different things. That's just not one of my skill sets. I can work on the speed in the offseason and get better with that. But I've always been a dropback guy in the pocket. I've been able to make plays on my feet throwing the ball or running for a first down."
On the other hand, Michael Vick could be perfect. But it's unlikely the Eagles would want to pay the $16 million they'd have to shell out for an injury-prone quarterback, who will be 33 next season.
Kelly had high praise for Foles after Oregon beat Arizona 56-31 in September 2011.
"I'll tell you what; I'm glad Nick Foles is graduating," Kelly said at that time. "I catch myself watching him in awe sometimes. Nick is a hell of a football player. That kid's a warrior. He's as good as anyone in the country."
Others interviewed by Lurie, general Howie Roseman and president Don Smolenski were former Bears coach Lovie Smith, Atlanta assistants Mike Nolan and Keith Armstrong, former Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.
The first Eagles to react to Kelly's hiring on Twitter were defensive players.
Defensive end Brandon Graham wrote: "Happy to have Chip Kelly!! Now it's time to get to work!"
Safety Kurt Coleman wrote: "Welcome Chip Kelly to the Eagles family. Can't wait to see what he brings to the team in 2013!"
Oregon's players gave Kelly a Gatorade bath at the end of his last game, and some seemed resigned to their coach moving on.
"We're all behind him," quarterback Marcus Mariota said. "He's someone that you can look to and learn a lot of life lessons from. Whatever happens, happens. We'll see where it takes us."
Kelly took the road to Philadelphia and the NFL.

STUDENTS from Sir John Thursby Community College visited the National Museum of Computing as part of their studies.
The youngsters, studying GCSE in Computing Science, went to Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, where they saw the world's oldest computer – called the Witch – which had the basic functions of a calculation but took up most of the space in the room.
Students also saw the world's first electronic computer, The Colossus, which had the sole purpose of cracking messages between Hitler and his generals during the Second World War.
They also created their own programme on some of the BBC's first computers.
One student said: "I didn't know computers were used to help break Hitler's messages."
Another said: "The code breaking and programming was fun. It's definitely something I want to do in the future."
The museum shows how far computing has come in the past 50 years. On display are some of the earliest Apple and Amstrad machines.

STUDENTS from The Castle School in Thornbury had some unusual friends join them this week.
They were amazed and inspired after spending time with NAO humanoid robots Antony and Ben.
NAO, developed by Alderbaran robotics, is used worldwide as an educational platform. Initially designed for robotic research in Universities, NAO is now heading into primary and secondary schools.
Charly and Joanne from Active Robots, based in Chilcompton in Somerset, brought Anthony and Ben along to demonstrate how robots are developing within industry and the endless future influences they may have.
After being wowed by what Antony and Ben could do, students had the opportunity to programme the robots themselves.
Year 7 student Robert Bossey said: "I thought the workshop was amazing. It was amazing to see what people have created. Maybe in the future this kind of thing would be normal and who knows what we will have in the future. The robots were also very sweet – especially when they did Gangham style."
The event, with support from Wotton-under-Edge engineering firm Renishaw, was organised to promote and to highlight the future of technology.
Simonne Watts from Renishaw said: "Antony and Ben certainly sparked the students interest in subjects including programming skills."

A tribute page has been set up on the social networking site Facebook, R.I.P Adnan, which has attracted almost 4,500 people who have 'liked' it since last week.
One relative called him "my most amazing cousin" and said that it was devastating for the family losing him but even though he is gone he will not be forgotten.
A friend described the prisoner as "one in a billion and will be missed".
