CSc 120: Rhyming Words

Definitions.

• The stressed vowel sound (i.e., the primary stress) in both words must be identical, as well as any subsequent sounds. For example, "sky" and "high"; "skylight" and "highlight".
• The sound phoneme that precedes the stressed vowel in the words must not be the same. For example, "bean" and "green" is a perfect rhyme, while "leave" and "believe" is not.

Expected Behavior

• Print out the words so collected (see Output format below).

Input Format

• The word is given at the beginning of the line, up to the first whitespace.

RECORD   R  AH0  K  AO1  R  D RECORD   R  IH0  K  AO1  R  D RECORD   R  EH1  K  ER0  D

Programming Requirements

{ 'OBJECT' : [ ['AA1' 'B' 'JH' 'EH0' 'K' 'T'], ['AH0' 'B' 'JH' 'EH1' 'K' 'T'] ], 'OBJECTOR' : [ ['AH0' 'B' 'JH' 'EH1' 'K' 'T' 'ER0'] ], 'SOUR' : [ ['S' 'AW1' 'ER0'], ['S' 'AW1' 'R'] ], 'BECAUSE' : [ ['B' 'IH0' 'K' 'AO1' 'Z'], ['B' 'IH0' 'K' 'AH1' 'Z'], ['B' 'IH0' 'K' 'AA1' 'Z'], ['B' 'IH0' 'K' 'AH0' 'Z'] ], ... }

Development Strategy

• Read in the pronunciation dictionary and organize it into an appropriate data structure (see Programming Requirements above). Think about the data structure you want to use—one has been suggested for you above, but anything else that satisfies the programming requirement stated will do. Think about how you will populate this data structure as you read in words; this involves figuring out what pieces of information you need to extract from the input you read in.
• The next thing you have to do is to read in a word and find out which words rhyme with it. What information about this word do you need before you can figure that out? How can you find that information?
• Finally, what do you do once you find that information?

And when you're done...

Development Strategy

• Read in the pronunciation dictionary and organize it into an appropriate data structure (see Programming Requirements above). Think about the data structure you want to use—one has been suggested for you above, but anything else that satisfies the programming requirement stated will do. Think about how you will populate this data structure as you read in words; this involves figuring out what pieces of information you need to extract from the input you read in.
• The next thing you have to do is to read in a word and find out which words rhyme with it. What information about this word do you need before you can figure that out? How can you find that information?
• Finally, what do you do once you find that information?

Stuart Skinner has created a full-fledged goaltending crisis for the Oilers

EDMONTON — Shielded by the Edmonton Oilers organization postgame, Stuart Skinner ’s goaltending performance in Game 3 and the series at large was left to be addressed solely by his coach.

Kris Knoblauch said the only thing that could really be said considering he had backup Calvin Pickard lead the team onto the ice to start the third period: “We need more saves.”

Skinner, who allowed four goals on 15 shots through 40 minutes in a 4-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks , wasn’t made available by the Oilers despite being requested.

He played 11 seconds after Evan Bouchard pulled the Oilers within one thanks to a six-on-five goal 18:44 into the third — a time-stalling tactic so Knoblauch could buy his stars a little more rest. Knoblauch confirmed Skinner isn’t suffering from an injury, so there was nothing preventing him from speaking after the loss.

The way things are trending, there might not be a reason to speak to Skinner postgame for much longer. Knoblauch said he’ll wait until at least Monday before deciding if Skinner will start in Game 4.

For good reason, too. The Oilers have a full-fledged goaltending crisis on their hands.

“Tonight’s one that he’d like to have back,” Knoblauch said. “He’ll see what he’s got in the future, whether that’s Game 4 or Game 5 or whatever it is.”

Look, it’s not like Skinner let in soft goal after soft goal on Sunday. There wasn’t a downright stinker in the bunch.

Elias Lindholm scored twice on the power play, the first of which he tipped in. And then the first of two from Oilers nemesis Brock Boeser came after a terrible turnover by Warren Foegele .

“I should know better,” Foegele said. “Unfortunately, I did that and put our team in a bad spot.”

How the Canucks, Brock Boeser contained Connor McDavid to win Game 3: 5 takeaways

Still, Skinner simply needed to prove his mettle as the starting goalie — at least for now — on a team that fancies itself a Stanley Cup contender. Just make one or two more saves, as Knoblauch desired.

That’s what separates an excellent keeper who helps his team win it all from one who’s below average and gets his team booted from the second round of the playoffs — again.

By the time Knoblauch gave him the hook, Skinner had given up 12 goals on 58 shots in the series — an awful .793 save percentage. That’s simply not going to cut it. What the Oilers would give for that .875 clip he had against Vegas in Round 2 last year.

“Defence, along with goaltending, is very important to winning hockey games — especially in the long term,” Knoblauch said. “It’s got to be better.”

Skinner has been outplayed by the third goaltender on the Canucks’ depth chart in Arturs Silovs . There’s no getting around that, even if the Oilers feel they can do more to make life miserable for Silovs.

“We can certainly do a better job of bearing down and capitalizing on our looks,” Oilers centre-turned-winger Leon Draisaitl said.

That leads us to another thing: It isn’t just Skinner’s puck-stopping — or lack thereof — that has the Oilers in a tizzy.

They failed to score a five-on-five goal in Game 3, even though all lines had their chances. Evander Kane , Derek Ryan and Connor Brown were three of the four players who beat Silovs but not a goalpost. The other was Draisaitl.

What’s most concerning is it appears their coach has little faith beyond the members of the first power-play unit and Mattias Ekholm . Over the last two games, the Oilers have become a six-man team for all intents and purposes.

Bouchard played 31:24 of a 60-minute game after skating for 29:59 in Game 2. Draisaitl got to 29:04 after playing 27:05 on Friday. Connor McDavid came 18 seconds shy of playing half the contest following a 28:12 effort in the overtime win.

“We can’t play them 30 minutes every night,” Knoblauch said, specifically of Nos. 97 and 29. “We can’t be pushing them that much.”

He might have to.

The Oilers are now down 2-1 in the series, and McDavid, Draisaitl and Zach Hyman have easily been their best line.

They dominated in Game 2. The Oilers outscored the Canucks 2-0, outshot them 13-1 and out-attempted them 31-7 in 18:31 at five-on-five, per Natural Stat Trick .

Though Boeser scored the only goal when the McDavid trio was on the ice at five-on-five in Game 3, the Oilers continued to carry the play. Shots were 10-5 and attempts were 20-9.

They were clearly the only grouping Knoblauch believed could score.

He hinted after the morning skate that Draisaitl, who missed some time with an injury in the series opener, could get some shifts at centre. That didn’t happen.

“A lot of it had to do with (the fact) we were chasing. We needed a goal,” Knoblauch said. “That line together has been creating so much offence.”

Despite praising the other lines for their offensive attempts, his usage spoke volumes. Kane had the most ice time among forwards not named McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins at 14:12. No one else made it to 12 minutes and five players up front didn’t hit double digits.

“Everyone has a role, and you’ve got to do the best (with) your role — (regardless of) how many minutes that is,” said Foegele, who played 8:45. “It’s about winning. The coach can put out who he thinks gives him the best chance to win. Everyone here understands their role. Everyone’s got to execute.”

There are a lot of Oilers players who could — and maybe should — play better. In fairness, most of those in question could use some more opportunity to prove their worth.

That’s certainly not the case for Skinner.

He was the only Oilers goaltender to appear in these playoffs until Pickard skated out to start the third period on Sunday.

Feel free to defend Skinner all you want. Blame some bad bounces. Criticize the work of his teammates in front of him. Suggest he hasn’t surrendered any terrible goals — perhaps notwithstanding Nikita Zadorov ’s sharp-angle marker in Game 2.

But any way you slice it, he hasn’t been good enough. Nowhere close.

The Oilers have little chance of beating the Canucks — let alone claiming the Cup — with this type of netminding. The coach pretty much said it without actually saying it after the game. Skinner didn’t have to.

Royce Lewis injury update: Twins infielder to start rehab assignment Saturday

Lewis was injured on opening day and looks like he'll be back after two months.

Twins third baseman Royce Lewis entered the season with many expecting him to have a breakout year. He hit a home run in his first at-bat. And then he was injured. After only two plate appearances, Lewis went down with a severe quad strain. He was expected to miss two months and that estimation looks like it'll come almost exactly to fruition. 

Friday, the Twins announced that Lewis will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. He'll start out as a designated hitter. The assumption is he'll work in the field shortly thereafter, and once he has a few games under his belt to get his timing back, he'll rejoin the Twins. 

Lewis was the No. 1 overall draft pick out of high school in 2017 and he's been outstanding at the major-league level so far in his career. In 71 MLB regular-season games, he's hit .313/.369/.564 (156 OPS+) with 11 doubles, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 42 runs, six steals and 2.9 WAR. In six playoff games last year, he homered four times. Performance has never been an issue. 

Staying on the field, though, has been the issue. He tore his ACL in both 2021 and 2022. He's also dealt with a bone bruise, a strained oblique and strained hamstring. 

Without Lewis, the Twins have had quite the roller coaster of a season. They started 7-13, then won 17 of 20 before losing seven in a row. Still, thanks to that extended hot streak, they are right in the thick of contention. 

Entering Friday, Twins' third baseman this season had hit .232/.310/.387 and Lewis is certainly better than that, long-term. If he can avoid another injury, the Twins will soon get an uptick in production at the hot corner.

This wholesome banger from a group of Irish kids is the spark you need

Anastasia Tsioulcas

Music fans, have we got a new, totally infectious bop for you: "The Spark," a song created by a group of kids in Cork, Ireland. "I searched for my spark and I found it," they exuberantly sing over a vibrant techno beat. They let their rhymes fly, too: "Making bangers at a young age," one girl raps, "My pen setting fire to the page."

As one listener enthused on X: "They had no business putting out something this deadly."

Interview: Billie Eilish finally remembers who she is

"The Spark" was created by Rhyme Island, a youth rap initiative in Cork. The kids worked with a local producer named GMCBeats and The Kabin Studio, a music and creativity-focused nonprofit in the Knocknaheeny suburb of Cork.

They made the song in advance of Cruinniú na nÓg, an annual "national free day of creativity for young people" in Ireland. It features over 1,000 free events for kids and teenagers across Ireland, sponsored by the Irish government and supported by the Irish public broadcaster RTE. This year's Cruinniú na nÓg activities take place on Saturday, June 15.

Rhyme Island's video for "The Spark" was released by Creative Ireland , the Irish government initiative behind Cruinniú na nÓg. The video is just as cheery and wholesome as the song: The band of kids bounce down the aisle of a school bus and zip along a Cork sidewalk, decked out in colorful bucket hats and shades.

While "The Spark" does not yet seem to be available on digital platforms, Rhyme Island has a playlist of their other work on SoundCloud .
