It looks as if my blogger account has been hacked or some such thing.  Every time I update it for the course the images disappear.  I will find a new means of posting the images.  We will review this in class tonight.  There will be a quiz on Wednesday the 18th and a test on Monday 23rd.  The paper is due next wednesday the 25th.  I will pass out the requirements for the paper tonight as there has been some confusion.
