The Prime Numbers and Their Distribution - Gerald Tenenbaum and Michel Mendes France
Higher Arithmetic: An Algorithmic Introduction to Number Theory - Harold M Edwards
New mathematics often comes about by probing what is already known. Mathematicians will change the parameters in a familiar calculation or explore the essential ingredients of a classic proof. Almost magically, new ideas emerge from this process. This book examines elementary functions, such as those encountered in calculus courses, from this point of view of experimental mathematics. The focus is on exploring the connections between these functions and topics in number theory and combinatorics. There is also an emphasis throughout the book on how current mathematical software can be used to discover and prove interesting properties of these functions.
The book provides a transition between elementary mathematics and more advanced topics, trying to make this transition as smooth as possible. Many topics occur in the book, but they are all part of a bigger picture of mathematics. By delving into a variety of them, the reader will develop this broad view. The large collection of problems is an essential part of the book. The problems vary from routine verifications of facts used in the text to the exploration of open questions.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in number theory, combinatorics, analysis, and experimental mathematics.
"On the whole, this is an extraordinarily interesting book overflowing with (mostly) elementary non-routine mathematics. It's well-written and a pleasure to read. I've been keeping it on my desk for the ease of access; it's going to stay there for some while. I recommend it wholeheartedly to math instructors, teachers, and students, especially those who have only a slight interest in the subject. The book is bound to expand their horizons."

Data Smog: Surviving the Info Glut
Page 5 of 5
A Return to Meaning
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Americans began to realize that they had to take action to limit the physical smog and other pollution accruing all around them. Meanwhile, people also became aware of the severe consequences of consuming too many calories and too much fat, and the need to limit their intake. Now a similar challenge befalls citizens of the information age. For our individual well-being as well as the health of our democratic society, we must act now to responsibly limit our exposure to information. The goal should be to maintain and even increase access to reliable and useful communication without compromising a certain social serenity. Fortunately, a number of promising remedies for data smog are available if we stop for a moment to look around us.
* Be your own smart agent. You are responsible for managing your own signal-to-noise ratio, for choosing the information that is accurate, relevant, economical, articulate, and evocative while eliminating anything that blocks out meaning. As your own smart agent, you are also your own data dietitian. Take some time to examine your daily intake and consider whether your info diet needs some fine-tuning-perhaps some data naps in the afternoon, during which you receive no electronic information. Many victims of glut have also found periodic data fasts rejuvenating. One sure way to gauge the value of something, after all, is to go without it for a while.
For example, turn the television off. There is no quicker way to regain control of the pace of your life, the peace of your home, and the content of your thinking. Millions of Americans who have limited their TV viewing have discovered hours of free time with which they can begin to do some of the things they've never found time for. My own approach has been to move the offending item from the kitchen/living room into the closet. There it stays except for a few select hours per week, when I lug it out, plug it in and turn it on. After a brief viewing, it goes straight back to the closet. Since the television has been consigned to the closet, my wife and I play more music, we read more, we talk more.
A suggested trade-off: cancel your cable TV service and apply that same $20 per month to one or more good books. Books are the opposite of television: they are slow, engaging, inspiring, intellect-arousing, and creativity-spurring.
Another strategy is to avoid news nuggets. All-news channels, wire services, and top-of-the-hour headlines may be the only common fabric we have left, but that isn't reason enough to sacrifice your attention span. Spend those five minutes each hour doing something more productive, like conducting one meaningful
And recall the playful warning of Michael Dertouzos, head of MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science, in this magazine (see "Seven Thinkers in Search of an Information Highway," August/September 1994): "E-mail is an open duct into your central nervous system. It occupies the brain and reduces productivity." Ask people not to indiscriminately forward trivia. "Unsubscribe" to the Internet newsgroups that you're no longer really interested in. Tell advertisers who "spam"-send you unsolicited e-mail messages-that you have no interest in their product and ask them to remove you from their customer list.
* Resist advertising and upgrade mania. Remember that upgrades are designed primarily as sales tools, not necessarily to give customers what they've been clamoring for.
* Say no to dataveillance. By writing just a few letters putting your name on do-not-disturb lists, you can greatly reduce the amount of junk mail and unsolicited phone calls that come your way.
* Leave the pager and cell phone behind. Are wireless communicators instruments of liberation, freeing people to be more mobile with their lives, or more like electronic leashes, keeping people more plugged-in to their work and info-glutted lives than is necessary and healthy? It is thrilling to be in touch with the world at all times, but it's also draining and interfering. For sanity's sake, people ought to be allowed to roam free from the information superhighway for at least some portion of each week.
* Give a hoot, don't info-pollute. The info glut demands a new kind of social responsibility: an obligation to be more economical about what we say, write, publish, broadcast, and post. Everything from voice-mail messages to office memos to speeches to Web pages should be crisp, clear, and to the point. By reducing the amount of needless information, we will also reduce vulgarity, as people feel less need to be sensational to attract attention. Our tone will become more civil. Our social signal-to-noise ratio will begin to improve. We who have learned not to drink or eat or work to excess will now simply add another virtue to the list.
The payoff for such restraint is high. As we severely limit content, we learn to savor it more. I experienced this paradox firsthand when I asked my brother Jon to film my wedding. He owns a sophisticated Hi-8 camcorder, but he used an old Super 8 instead. In five hours he got through four rolls-12 minutes-of film. Weeks went by while we waited for them to come back from the developer. Finally, we sat down to watch our measly footage. The show was over in a flash, but we were thrilled. The three-minute films are cherished glimpses into our wedding and reception, in marked contrast to an uninterrupted three-hour video that dulls our senses and renders useless our memories. A medium that captures almost everything conveys almost nothing.
* De-nichify. How to change our electronic Tower of Babel into a modern Agora? The answer is easy, though the solution is not. We need to talk to one another.
By reaching out to different cultures and niches, Brian Lehrer, radio host of WNYC's "On The Line" in New York City, underscores the simple notion that communities work better if people discuss their differences. One highlight is his annual multicultural outreach on Martin Luther King Day, during which he invites listeners to call in and read one-minute excerpts from works about an ethnic group different from their own. On other days Lehrer might conduct informed conversations on Bosnia, teachers' unions, and date rape. We can't all have our own radio program, but we can tune in to such shows and read general-interest periodicals; we can make a point to reach across niche boundaries; we can avoid specialized jargon. As we breach cultural divides and pursue interdisciplinary studies, we are engaging in the best kind of education, not simply becoming more efficient at a specialized task but learning how to interface with the rest of humanity.
* Insist that government help defend citizens against data surveillance and data spam. Taking advantange of the good that technology has to offer without choking on the bad will take strong collective effort. Unfortunately, the cyber-libertarian community has made anti-government rhetoric a fashionable part of the information revolution, mostly in response to thoughtless federal legislation. After President Clinton signed the Communications Decency Act in 1996, which aimed excessively to curb speech online, leading cyber thinker John Perry Barlow issued a "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" that rashly proclaimed the Net to be its own world. But the Net is not a new world vested with its own sovereignty; it is a novel and exciting facet of society. Ultimately, the former must fall under the jurisdiction of the latter.
For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 made it illegal to use an autodialing phone machine or to make calls with a prerecorded voice. This law should be amended to bar software that automatically plucks e-mail addresses and indiscriminately includes them in marketing solicitations. This new legislation should also establish a "do-not-disturb" registry of names, phone numbers, addresses, and e-mail addresses that all mass marketers would be legally obliged to cross-reference.
Indeed, the ability to gather and analyze information conveniently and cheaply means that personal privacy has replaced censorship as our primary civil liberties concern. What once might have been considered harmless personal trivia- which videos you rented this week, whether you like starch in your laundered shirts, whether you buy name-brand or generic aspirin-can today all be turned into useful intelligence by powerful cross-referencing databases. A company called DejaNews Partners, for example, is copying and cataloging, for marketing purposes, every single message posted to each of the thousands of subject-specific Usenet newsgroups.
To prohibit government agencies and companies from using information for unauthorized purposes, we need a long-sought upgrade of the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, which set severe restrictions on the information government could collect on citizens but ex-empted businesses. Whether you are subscribing to a magazine, buying a modem, signing a petition, renewing your driver's license, taking a random drug test, enrolling your child in school, or paying your taxes, you should be assured that the personal data you turn over will go no further unless you specifically grant permission. This time, the law should exempt no one.
The Federal Trade Commission can also be an important player in limiting data smog. The FTC's current policy is that consumers must match their wits against the claims and resources of advertisers. When it comes to "half truths and motivational manipulations," writes Advertising Age columnist Stanley E. Cohen, "the remedy is caveat emptor." This hardly seems a fair fight. We need a rejuvinated FTC that criticizes questionable marketing practices and imposes fines.
To ensure that citizens not only have online access to government documents and officials but understand the workings of government, a new Government Information Act must ensure that legislation, regulations, and court rulings as well as tax information is published in formats that any literate person can understand.
Finally, we need to reformulate the issue of information have-nots. The disenfranchised citizens of our country are not in need of faster access to bottomless wells of information but rather better education-high-quality teachers, classroom materials, and buildings. The best way to prevent data smog from settling in is to shift attention and resources toward basic educational infrastructure for all Americans.

Factors You Have Got To Think About Prior To Selecting Your Table Saw - InfoBarrel
Common table saw blades are the combination blade, ripping blade, crosscut blade, laminate-cutting blade and plywood blade. The combination blade, ripping blade, crosscut blade and laminate-cutting blade all have carbide tips. The plywood blade consists of steel. Each blade carries a specific purpose and tooth configuration.
The Dremel Saw Max can be a new tool which utilizes a 3 inch circular cutting blade by using an adjustable cutting face or platform that adjusts the depth in the blade. The blade could be barely scoring the fabric to cutting through 3/4 inches of cloth making this far more for precision cuts than rough cutting just like a larger circular saw would.
Some of Table Saw Reviews will likely be marketed which has a stand but other folks will arrive with simply a saw and want the stand be obtained separately. There are some shoppers that wont must have a stand in order that they have to target on individuals saws. An essential attribute of many of the stands accessible for buy is you'll find dust manage capabilities or units created to the stand. Energy is also a important function to search into. Obtaining more energy allows for a saw to cut thicker wooden, operate lengthier, and minimize faster without scaling down. Someone has to recognize what they are more likely to make use of the saw for prior to figuring out how considerably energy will probably be necessary. Reducing a number of inch thick hardwood would demand a three to five horsepower saw. Cutting two inch thick or even less hardwood would necessitate simply a 1 or two horsepower saw.
Painting: inside the paint department, at Lowe's, you'll find cans of paint on clearance. Buy a band of colors and mix them in a large and safe container; choose your colors carefully, because dark colors are hard to combine. Make sure there are no cracks or small holes inside container. Then, be ready to be very impressed by the magnificent, one-of-a-kind paint job. (It is wise to never stress in the colors of paint inside a rental home. The property will likely be occupied, so actually clothing seen very long).
Working with quality tools can mean the gap between a positive exposure to a good product and a bad experience with a poorly made product. While you shouldn't hurt your wallet buying up every tool imaginable before you even start a project, you should make sure you will find the tools you may need.

Philpott trial: day 23 of the Derby fire deaths case
Posted: March 15, 2013|
The trial of three Derby people accused of six counts of manslaughter entered day 23 today.Mick Philpott, 56, his wife, Mairead, 31, and family friend Paul Mosley, 46, all deny the manslaughter of six Philpott children in a house fire in Allenton, Derby, last May.Day 23 of the trial3.50pm Mr Latham finishes his cross-examination. He ends it by saying: "That (lounge) window was open because it was about getting rid of a canister, wasn't it? The two of you inside the house were both present when the bright light came as the petrol ignited? You were to rescue the children from outside as part of the plan?" Philpott replied: "No, there was no plan."The case is adjourned until Monday at 10.15am. 3.35pm Philpott admits to the jury he deleted text messages he received between May 1 and 4.39am on May 11. He said: "It was because they were irrelevant."3.30pm Mr Latham is now challenging Philpott on how he collapses. He said: "You collapsed in the ambulance, in the mortuary, at Birmingham Children's Hospital, after the press conference. It's all an act, isn't it? Like screwing up your eyes, rubbing your fists into your eyes. There are no tears."Philpott replied: "No, I had lost my children."3.25pm Mr Latham tells the court that, in the two weeks leading up to the court case, Philpott was "upping the plan". He said: "You told parents at the school gates: 'She don't want to mess with me, I have a plan.' It was all falling into place. The plan was falling into place.Philpott replied: "There was no plan."3.10pm Mr Latham is now asking Philpott about the status update on social netowrking website Facebook - where he typed Ian Cousins was the father of Ms Willis' eldest child Jordan. Mr Latham said: "What effect do you think doing that would have in that family?"Philpott replied: "That was not meant in a nasty way, I was expressing my love for Jordan and Duwayne."Mr Latham said: "Think about someone other than yourself for once."3.05pm The cross-examination has now moved onto the questioning of Philpott over the darts trip in which he drove Colin Osbourne's family to a match in his mini bus on April 6 last year.Philpott previously said in evidence that Mairead rang him while he was driving. He told the court that Mairead had said that she had received a silent call and she was scared.But Mr Latham told the court that phone records show there were no incoming calls received on Mairead's phone since 10.28am that morning, some eight hours earlier.3pm Mr Latham has now accused Philpott of writing an apparent suicide note following the incident in Spondon, he said: "You were the author, you were going to use that and give it to influence the forthcoming court case with Ms Willis."Philpott told the court, "No. I have nor seen that before."2.40pm Mr Latham is continuing his cross-examination, he said to Philpott: "Do you understand that I suggest you are a manipulator?"Philpott replied: "I do understand and I probably come across that way to everybody here, but I am not,"The court is now hearing about the event on March 10 last year when the Philpott's turned up at the Spondon Street where the Cousins were living with Ms Willis.Mr Latham said: "You said Lisa looked lonesome and pointed at Ian and Amanda and said: 'It's all your fault'. That's a lie isn't it?"Philpott replied: "No it is not."2.20pm Mr Latham talks to Philpott about his ex-mistress Lisa Willis."This was a woman who was not doing what you wanted?" Mr Latham asked.Philpott replied: "She always did what she wanted, what I wanted."An apparent suicide note, that was written by Mairead and which Philpott had told the court he had never seen before this week, was found in a yellow folder in the conservatory of 18 Victory Road.The court heard that the folder belonged to Philpott and contained paperwork about his court proceedings for his custody battle with Ms Willis.Mr Latham said: "This letter was to be used in litigation, wasn't it?"Philpott replied : "No."12.50pm Philpott said he didn't know who started the fire.And he was asked what motive could anyone have to bear a grudge against him. He said his relationship with Lisa Willis and not wanting him to see his children.Philpott said: "How do we know it was my house intended in the first place, we don't know."12.30pm Philpott is being asked about petrol evidence in the case.Mr Latham puts to Philpott that he was aware police knew petrol was the source of the fire two weeks before he was arrested and that police had taken his clothes from the night of the fire. "So you had a fortnight to think about it," Mr Latham said. He said Philpott volunteered to police that if they found petrol on his clothes or anywhere in the property it would be because of his strimmer."The one thing you didn't appreciate at the time is not only can a scientist detect the presence of petrol but the type of petrol. You had no idea that scientists could do that did you?"Philpott said: "Yes I do watch programmes like NCIS and stuff like that."11.45am Philpott admitted that when he was at the front of the house he saw that a lounge window was open.He said: "All I know is that window was shut when we went to bed."Mr Latham said: "I am going to suggest to you that window was opened by one of you that night. Who could have done it?"11.30am Philpott told the court that Ms Willis had a set of keys to the property.Mr Latham asked: "Are you trying to put a set of keys in Lisa Willis' hands for an ulterior motive?"Philpott said: "I said before I don't think Lisa Willis had anything to do with setting the fire." 10.15am Mick Philpott is in the witness box. He's in a grey suit, white short and pink tie. Paul Mosley is in a grey Adidas T-shirt. Mairead is wearing a black jumper.Richard Latham QC, chief prosecutor in the case, will continue to cross-examine Philpott.They are discussing the night of the fire.Philpott had said that the door between the hallway, where the fire was, and the lounge, was only open six inches.But Mr Latham has said that the fire examiner, Matthew Lee, told the court in evidence in week one, that the door was wide open. Mr Philpott said: "I totally disagree with him. I know what I saw with my eyes. I know what I saw that night."Mr Latham says Philpott said in his police statement he told PC Cassidy he saw "large flames all over the stairwell".But in the witness box he said he only got four steps into the lounge from the kitchen.Mr Latham said: "You know what I'm driving at, don't you? The only way you could have seen flames is if you were either in the hall or at the threshold between the hall and the lounge. You were consumed with guilt."Philpott replied: "You can say what you like Mr Latham, I did not kill my kids."Mr Latham said the bright light that Philpott said he saw in his evidence was the petrol igniting.He said: "You saw the start of the fire, didn't you Mr Philpott?"He replied: "No, Mr Latham, I did not."Mr Latham said Philpott made no effort to put the fire out either by fetching buckets of water or using a small fire extinguisher from the kitchen. He said: "Your plan was to go out, rescue your children and be the big hero, wasn't it?" Philpott replied: "No, I don't see myself as a hero."Mr Latham said: "You went straight past the source of water and straight past the fire extinguisher."Philpott said: "The 999 call was my priority."Mr Latham said having the ladder close to Jade's window was "all part of the plan".He said: "In your police statement you say you are security conscious and that the only window that should be open is your daughter's. You thought it was going to be unlocked, didn't you? You were going to be able to get your children out and be the hero and the victim at the same time."Philpott replied: "Definitely not.""The plan was to light that fire, make a 999 call, rescue them with the ladder from out the back window, wasn't it?" Mr Latham said.Philpott replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, I did not light that fire, I did not endanger my children and not did my wife."Mr Latham said: "During the early part of the 999 call we hear you say to Mairead `Tell them they (the children) are in the bedroom'."Philpott replied: "It is just a phrase. I do not necessarily mean `Tell them they are in one bedroom'."Mr Latham said: "By two minutes the plan has gone wrong, the fire was much bigger than you expected and you could not get the window open."Philpott said: "All I know, Mr Latham, is that I was trying to get my kids out of here and I could not."Mr Latham said: "Four minutes into the 999 call you say `God help me'. Not `God help us'. Philpott replied: "I am in a distressed state, my heart is broken.What I say is not meant to come out like that."Mr Latham said: "You knew you were responsible for this whole nightmare that has unfolded before you. I am going to say you started this fire."Philpott replied: "Say what you like, Mr Latham, you are trying to twist it."Philpott told the court that Ms Willis had a set of keys to the property.On Thursday, the trial was told that Mairead Philpott had "broken ranks and is no longer sticking to the story."Mairead is going to give evidence, the prosecuting barrister said.
The dramatic claim came on day 22 of the trial of Mick, Mairead and family friend Paul Mosley for the death of the children in a fire at 18 Victory Road, Allenton.
The house was home to Mick and Mairead and their six children, but had also been home to Lisa Willis and her five children, four of whom had been fathered by Philpott, 56.
The prosecution in the trial at Nottingham Crown Court claims the fire was started in a bid to frame Ms Willis, who walked out of the house three months before the blaze.

During a rapid hi-tempo exchange with Richard Latham QC, chief prosecutor in the case, Philpott challenged a claim that Mosley, 45, who is known as Shakey, was going to "drop them" (he and Mairead) "in it".
Mr Latham spoke about police undercover recordings that were previously heard or read out in court.
They were taken from both the Premier Inn, in Uttoxeter New Road, immediately after the fire, and in a police van as Philpott and Mairead, 31, were being taken to court after their arrest last May.
Mr Latham said: "We are told that Mairead is going to be giving evidence in the witness box.
"It is quite apparent that she is not sticking to the story, is she?
"Mairead has broken ranks and is no longer sticking to the story."
Philpott replied: "If Mairead wants to break ranks then that is up to her but I am telling you this: I did not set fire to my house.
"I have no story to stick to."
Mr Latham discussed more of the covert recordings.
He said: "You said, in the police van, 'I did not do it, on my life'. What does that mean?"
Philpott replied: "That I did not kill my children."
Mr Latham said: "Why would you need to say that to your wife?
"She was your alibi, wasn't she?"
Philpott replied: "No, not at all."
Mr Latham said: "Every time you discuss something like this, whether it is in the hotel room or the police van, you drop to a whisper.
Philpott replied: "I do not whisper.
"In the van I was leaning forward to talk to my wife, we leaned forward to talk because we were sat apart from each other."
Mr Latham said: "There is a recording which was taken in the hotel which took place in the middle of the night where you say to Mairead 'it is times like this that I think about Shakey'.
"You thought he might say something that would drop you in it, didn't you?"
Philpott answered: "I don't know where you get these ideas from, but sorry, no."
Mr Latham replied: "I am getting these ideas from the evidence in the case.
"You were all in this together weren't you?"
Philpott replied: "No, Mr Latham."
Mr Latham said: "You were in this together."
Philpott said: "No, I can look you in the eye, look at the jury, swear on my children's graves and swear on the Bible I did not do this and nor did my wife.
"I am telling you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
Mr Latham discussed how he believed Philpott would have felt after he and his wife were arrested and gave separate police interviews at different police stations.
He said: "The nightmare for you is what Mairead was saying to the police, wasn't it?
"You wanted to be in the room with her, didn't you?"
Philpott replied: "Of course I wanted to be with my wife."
Mr Latham also asked about questions Shaun Smith, Mairead's barrister, had asked him earlier in the day in his cross-examination.
He said: "Mr Smith asked you about the petrol on your trainers.
"You do understand the implications of this question, don't you?"
Philpott said: "I understand the implications. What they are trying to say is there was petrol on my trainers. "
Mr Latham said: "Yes, it is being suggested that your trainers had petrol on them that night."
Philpott replied: "I do understand that,"
Mr Latham then spoke about how often Philpott seemed to collapse in grief.
He said: "Everything that has happened is about how the world is according to Michael Philpott or it is nothing at all.
"You speak the whole time in terms of me, me, me'.
"You start to cry and then flop to the ground.
"But with the crying there are no tears, are there?"
Philpott replied: "I don't see it like that, I would like to see you stand here in my position and see how you cope, Mr Latham."
Mr Latham said: "The true Mick Philpott we are seeing right now in this court room.
"You ruled Number 18 with a rod of iron, didn't you?"
Philpott said: "No, you are talking rubbish."
Mr Latham said: "What you want you get by whatever means necessary."
Philpott replied: "No."
Earlier in the afternoon Ben Nolan QC, Mosley's barrister, spent about 10 minutes cross-examining Philpott.
Mr Nolan and Philpott argued about the sex sessions that happened between the three defendants on the night of the fire and afterwards at the hotel where the Philpotts were staying.
He said Philpott had given earlier evidence that he would be "uncomfortable" if his wife and Mosley had sex without him being in the room, but is heard on one of the hotel transcripts leaving the room and telling her to "show Shakey a good time".
Philpott replied: "What you have got to remember is at that particular time my head was all over the place.
"I did not have to encourage Shakey, I did not encourage Shakey, we were going through a difficult time."
Mr Nolan said: "On the morning of the fire Shakey and your wife had full sex while you looked on encouraging it, shouting crude words of encouragement."
Philpott replied: "Definitely not, were you there? Definitely not."
Earlier, Mr Smith said Philpott regarded Mairead as his "property", his "slave".
Philpott shook his head.
The trial continues.

A Hendersonville mother and daughter were arrested June 6 after a party at their home that involved underage drinking.
Lamb, 18, was arrested and charged with underage consumption after
police were called to a party at her mother's house, according to the
arrest affidavit. Lamb, who graduated high school in May, was 2012-13
Hendersonville High School homecoming queen.
Police responded to
reports of a party on the 100 block of Wickham Court June 6 involving
underage drinking. Officers found Sara Lamb on the back deck of the
house holding what appeared to be an open bottle of beer. When asked her
age by police, she admitted she was only 18. She said she drank "four
or five beers," according to the police report.
Lamb's mother,
Laleh Lamb, 46, was not home when police arrived but returned while
officers were there and said she had left the home to attend to her ill
mother. She said Monday police would not let her into her house, so she
denied them entry.
The affidavit said officers asked to enter the
home to check for other underage drinkers after Sara Lamb was arrested
for underage consumption. When Laleh Lamb refused, officers acquired a
search warrant to enter the home and, after further investigation,
charges were filed against both mother and daughter.
Police did
not allow Lamb in the house to prevent her from tampering with evidence,
and by refusing the officers entry, Lamb aided in the concealment of
underage consumption, the affidavit said.
"I feel my civil rights
were violated," Laleh Lamb said in a phone interview, adding that she
has hired an attorney and did not know her daughter was drinking when
she arrived back at the house. "I will fight this."
Laleh Lamb was
charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child
neglect. The child neglect charged stemmed from the fact that her
9-year-old son was home when she left him in the care of her 18-year-old
daughter who was then arrested for underage drinking. She was released
from the Sumner County Jail the same day.
Sara and Laleh Lamb are scheduled to appear in Sumner County General Sessions Court July 22.

A Letter from the Beach
From the Scrapbook
Jul 30, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 43 • By THE SCRAPBOOK
It's getting windy now, folks are packing up ready to return to their other world. I call my wife, who has been spending time with friends a couple of towns up the beach, affording me the time to pursue (supposedly) those long-talked-about literary and aesthetic refinements. The subject now is dinner. I think I hear her say something about Dirty Dick's Crab House. "Ready to go?" she asks. "Funny thing," I said, "I had my heart set on that little steakhouse around the corner."
In appreciation of so thoughtful a correspondence, we hereby dub Ceaser The Scrapbook's Carcinologist in Chief (Google it yourself). ♦
Marshal Kim
The Scrapbook felt a certain satisfaction last week when we learned that Kim Jong Eun had been named a marshal of the Korean People's Army.
This promotion to the highest rank in the North Korean armed forces seemed, to The Scrapbook, only fitting: At 29, Kim is the world's youngest head of state, and his sloping shoulders bear an awesome burden of responsibility. The Great Successor, as he is popularly called, has been first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the Central Military Commission, first chairman of the National Defense Commission of North Korea, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, and a member of the presidium of the Central Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea. At his father's funeral last year, he was described as "our party, military, and country's supreme leader who inherits Great Comrade Kim Jong Il's ideology, leadership, character, virtues, grit, and courage."
For "grit" alone, in The Scrapbook's view, Kim deserves this boost to marshal.
Which reminds us of the reliable rule that the more preposterous the tyrant, the more likely he is to indulge himself with titles, nifty uniforms, and (self-awarded) honors. Take the late Idi Amin, for example, the Ugandan dictator of the 1970s who is estimated to have murdered as many as a half-million of his countrymen. By the time this onetime private in the British colonial army was finally toppled from power, he had risen to the status of His Excellency President for Life Al Hadji Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
Or Jean-Bédel Bokassa of the Central African Republic. This former enlisted man in the French colonial forces was not content just to be president of the newly independent republic west of Sudan; in 1976 he transformed his landlocked homeland into the Central African Empire, and was thereafter addressed by members of his court as Sa Majesté Impériale Bokassa 1er.
By way of contrast, The Scrapbook offers up the late Muammar Qaddafi in evidence. True to his ascetic Bedouin origins, Qaddafi—who was a lieutenant and just three years out of the Libyan military academy when he overthrew King Idris in 1969—never promoted himself beyond the modest rank of colonel. He also tended to avoid superfluous titles and honors, and as early as 1977 resigned his post as chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council of Libya, opting instead to be described as a "symbolic figurehead" in the government.
But while Qaddafi showed a certain bureaucratic restraint, he clearly let loose on the sartorial front, decking himself out in sumptuous desert robes or a variety of Ruritanian-style military uniforms. The Scrapbook's favorite is the quasi-naval costume he tended to wear on ceremonial occasions, complete with War of 1812-style epaulettes and a mop of greasy, voluminous hair under an elaborate hat.
The Great Successor is clearly in touch with his inner North Koreanness: He is usually seen in public in the standard Mao-style tunic with a modest flag pin attached to his breast. But "Marshal Kim" has a certain ring to it, and The Scrapbook expects to see him sometime soon in more martial attire, watching his starving subjects march past.
Low Voltage
t turns out that not many people are inclined to purchase a Chevy Volt. Only 7,671 of them were sold last year, and GM has suspended production multiple times despite plans to expand production to 60,000. But suddenly The Scrapbook has a powerful urge to buy one—and you may too once you learn what we found out last week.

He did the same at Portsmouth, showcasing his scoring instinct while averaging 15 points per game and leading his team to a second place finish. At 6'2 with a decent 196-pound frame and above-average athleticism, Hardy is clearly undersized for a shooting guardthe position he played this season. Hardy managed to score the ball effectively in this setting, and he made an impressive 51.6% of his field goal attempts inside of the arc. Utilizing a deceptively quick first step and his impressive separation abilities and scoring instincts, he was a threat to pull up from mid-range or to slash to the basket, usually finishing or drawing a foul. Though his lack of ideal size and explosiveness will likely hinder him at the next level, he scored a majority of his points inside of the arc and was easily one of the best shot creators at Portsmouth. He did struggle shooting the basketball from the perimeter; however, making just two of 12 three point field goals. His shooting form actually looks solid and he is equally capable of shooting off of the dribble and with his feet set, though his mechanics get shakier with distance. The 37.5% he shot from 3-point range over his career at St. John's likely tells us a lot more about his perimeter shooting prowess than his performance here. Where Hardy may struggle to convince NBA decision makers is with his ability to run a team, something he doesn't have a great deal of experience doing, as evidenced by the 1.9 assists he averaged this season, compared with 2.2 turnovers. He made very few bad decisions on the floor at the PIT, but he was unable to maintain a point guard's natural balance of scoring and distributing. He had tunnel vision in scoring mode and passed up his own offense as a distributor. Furthermore, there was little overlap. While his ability to operate out of the pick and roll, in particular, showed that he could potentially transition into a combo-guard down the road, his scoring instincts ultimately seem better suited for the shooting guard position. Hardy's defense is another issue as well, as he shows average lateral quickness and doesn't play with great energy on this end of the floor. He lacks the lateral quickness to stay in front of quicker guards and his overall effort was just average, especially evident when he passively ran under screens. He must improve his defense at the next level given his physical limitations as an undersized shooting guard. Ultimately, while Hardy's lack of size may hamper him from being drafted, his performance at Portsmouth reinforced the notion that he has legitimate potential to compete at a high level of international basketball. Even if he doesn't make the NBA on his first go-around, he is someone that could get picked up down the road, as he's obviously a skilled offensive player with a good feel for the game and penchant for clutch play.

Kalman explains that 1,171-licensed-bed Mount Sinai launched the PACT program to reduce exposure to federal readmission penalties and to improve health outcomes through better transition of care. "As part of our evaluation of PACT, we wanted to ensure that the program is truly reaching those who are most likely to benefit from the intervention," Kalman says.
To do that, Mount Sinai's health evidence and policy team developed a risk prediction model for readmission within 30 days using logistic regression. "The higher the score, the higher the risk of readmission," Kalman adds.
Last summer, the predictive model was applied to patients enrolled in the PACT program to determine how many of them were at high risk for 30-day readmission. "Ninety-five percent of PACT enrollees had a risk score greater than 3, meaning that their readmission rate was between 19% and 29%," Kalman says. "If these results can be substantiated through further study, we believe this could have national implications for identifying high-risk patients in real-time."
Mount Sinai is showing early success with its model, too. The PACT program has decreased its 30-day readmission rate from 30% to 12% and its emergency department visits by 63% (over three-plus months), and it has a 90% primary care show rate at seven to 10 days postdischarge for patients enrolled in the program.
Basso Lipani says the core of the transitional program's success is the engagement of patients and families in a discussion of what is uniquely driving readmissions for them. "We've learned that patients with the highest medical utilization, at highest risk for readmission, and with the most fragmented care can be reached and their readmission risk can be reduced through our intervention," she says. "The predictive model has validated not just our method of identifying patients, but our outcomes, too."
In addition to the core PACT team, the organization also is successfully piloting the use of volunteers to serve as extenders for the social workers and NPs. Program volunteers assist patients in making follow-up appointments and retrieve medicine from the pharmacy, helping patients overcome small hurdles that otherwise can have readmission consequences.

Peeping Tom went back for a second look
Posted: December 13, 2012|
A PEEPING Tom spied on a couple having sex while muttering 'I'm watching you' outside their bedroom window.
Brian Symons, 45, admitted peering in the back bedroom while the husband and wife were being intimate at their home in Torquay.
He said he had spotted the 'elderly couple' while out on a walk in the middle of the night and decided to 'go back for a closer look'.
He admitted uttering the words while in a state of sexual excitement.
This alerted the couple who immediately 'stopped what they were doing' to investigate.
They got up and saw Symons scampering away down the drive.
But he was in such a rush to leave he dropped his cigarette lighter and left incriminating DNA at the scene, allowing police to trace him.
Symons, formerly of Torquay but now living in Church Road, Bristol, appeared before magistrates in Torquay and admitted one count of observing a person doing a private act for the purpose of sexual gratification.
The incident happened on August 13 at about 3am.
The court was told the couple were in the bedroom having sex when they heard a noise outside the window.
Prosecutor Philip Sewell said: "About 10 minutes later they heard a voice saying 'I'm watching you'.
"They stopped what they were doing and the husband saw a man at the end of the driveway."
Symons told police he was out walking down a back lane behind the house when he spotted the couple having sex.
Deciding to get a better view he approached the window and peered inside.
The court was told Symons suffered from a number of illnesses including frontal lobe brain damage.
He said he was not taking his medication at the time and 'doesn't normally behave like that'.
Mitigating, Paul Dentith said the offence was 'opportunistic'.
"The curtains were open and the lights were on," he said.
In a victim impact statement the wife said she used to leave the doors and windows of the house open, but now felt unsafe and was too scared to go outside in the evening to call the cat in.
The husband said he was embarrassed and feared Symons might come back again.
The court was told the defendant had seven previous convictions, the last similar one in 1988.
The case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports.
Symons was told he must sign the Sexual Offences Register.
He will be sentenced on January 7.

If news was happening anywhere other than Capitol Street Wednesday night, the local media probably missed it.
Many of us spent the evening rubbing elbows at the annual Christmas party at the Governor's Mansion, where Gov. Phil Bryant took his first crack at hosting a holiday reception for the media.
It's supposed to be an off-the-record, no-notebooks-allowed social gathering, a thank you of sorts for providing a public service and putting up with politicians the rest of the year. ...

POSTED: 8:47 a.m. HST, Aug 8, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 9:07 a.m. HST, Aug 12, 2013
Closing arguments in State Department special agent Christopher Deedy's trial have been scheduled for Aug. 15.
Circuit Judge Karen Ahn told the jurors Thursday afternoon to report back to court that day to hear jury instructions and arguments by the defense and prosecution. The jury will then begin deliberations.
Ahn scheduled the arguments after the defense completed its case and the prosecution said it would not call any rebuttal witnesses.
The defense rested after Deedy completed his testimony and a retired Honolulu police lieutenant presented limited testimony on a 2008 disorderly misconduct conviction for Kollin Elderts, the man Deedy fatally shot at a McDonald's restaurant early Nov. 5, 2011 in Waikiki.
Retired police Lt. Wayne Fernandez testified that Elderts was part of a large crowd in May 2008 and challenged others to a fight.
Fernandez said uniformed police officers tried to calm down Elderts, but he continued to challenge others.
When he was arrested, Elderts struggled, Fernandez said.
Fernandez said police did not see Elderts hit another person.
Deedy testified earlier today that he pulled out his 9 mm Glock handgun and shot Kollin Elderts because he was "in fear for my life" and for the life of his friend Adam Gutowski, who was bleeding and being beaten by Elderts' friend Shane Medeiros.
Deedy returned to the witness stand in Honolulu Circuit Court this morning in his defense of a murder charge in the shooting death of Elderts, a 23-year-old Kailua resident.
"As a law enforcement officer once you've made that decision to pull that trigger you can never go back," Deedy said. "I made an oath to serve and protect and that's what I did. I intended to stop the threat."
Deedy testified he believed Medeiros and Elderts were using "deadly force" when a fight broke out, even though they did not have weapons.
"It would have been reasonable use of force to shoot either of the assailants that were using deadly force," Deedy said.
In a second day of cross-examination, Honolulu Deputy Prosecutor Janice Futa pressed Deedy on key points in the confrontation — why he stepped in when no crime had been committed and why he didn't leave the restaurant before the confrontation turned violent.
Deedy said he stepped in after hearing a loud conversation between Elderts, Medeiros and another customer at the counter because he thought a fight might break out.
"I chose to respond immediately," Deedy said. "That's the way we're trained if we see a violent situation escalating. If you respond after the violence occurred, then you respond too late."
Deedy testified that he believed Elderts initiated the violence and that his kick to Elderts was a defensive action.
"He (Elderts) gathered himself, moved into position, clenched his fist and moved in quickly to strike me," Deedy said about the seconds before he kicked Elderts. "We're trained we don't allow someone to strike you," Deedy said. "That was a physical attack and I defended myself against a physical attack."
On Wednesday, Futa asked Deedy whether he noticed the McDonald's workers joking with Elderts and Medeiros.
Deedy's defense is that he acted as a trained law enforcement officer in trying to defuse a potentially dangerous situation that started with an exchange between Elderts and another customer. Deedy has testified that Elderts became enraged and attacked him.
The prosecution's case is that a drunken and inexperienced Deedy threatened to shoot Elderts in the face, did not identify himself as a federal agent, and kicked Elderts to trigger the fatal struggle.
On Wednesday, Futa questioned Deedy about what he actually heard of the conversation between Elderts and Medeiros and customer Michel Perrine at the McDonald's counter and whether he really needed to get involved.
"You don't know whether they were talking or joking," Futa asked.
"I saw Mr. Perrine turn to Mr. Elderts when he said, 'Just leave me alone,'" Deedy said.
"He wasn't being bothered by anything anybody said as far as you could see?" Futa continued.
"I saw Elderts again turn to him, Mr. Perrine, and say something," Deedy said. "I saw Mr. Perrine did not respond. … To me it looked intentional, like he was purposely not responding."
Futa asked, "At this point in time, no crime had been committed, correct?"— a question she repeated throughout her questioning Wednesday afternoon.
Today, Futa asked Deedy if he considered taking a more low-key approach, sitting down next to Perrine and calling police, instead of stepping in and confronting Elderts and Medeiros.
"My immediate reaction was to address the threat against Mr. Perrine, It was not to call the police and sit down next to Mr. Perrine," Deedy said.
Deedy, 29, said Wednesday he was not sure that he could leave the McDonald's safely and that he felt responsible for the other people in the restaurant because of Elderts' aggressive behavior.
"When I stood up and saw Adam being kicked in the face, I could have ran, I knew I could have ran. But I could not have done that and assured his safety, so I chose not to do that," Deedy said today.
Futa showed a portion of the video and noted that Deedy's friends Jessica West and Gutowski were leaving the restaurant and that West came back in and grabbed Deedy's arm, as if to pull him away.
"When she came back inside the McDonald's, she told you, 'Let's go,'" Futa asked.
"I was interacting with Mr. Elderts," Deedy responded. "I didn't hear her say anything to me."
"You could have just walked out with Jessica West and not put anyone in danger. Is that correct?" Futa asked.
"He had just threatened to hurt me. If I had walked to his left or right, I don't know what would have happened," Deedy said.
This morning, Deedy clarified that he now recalls that at some point West did say "let's go."
Futa questioned Deedy about his agency's policies on drinking alcohol and carrying weapons. She also asked about his training in getting people whom he protects out of dangerous situations.
Deedy testimony began Tuesday under questioning by his lead attorney, Brook Hart. The special agent painted Elderts as the aggressor and said the Kailua man continued to assault him even after he identified himself as a law enforcement officer and took out his gun.
Deedy testified that Elderts didn't back off even after the agent drew his gun.
"I hoped, I prayed that he would stop," the agent said Wednesday.
Elderts was killed by a shot to his chest.
Late Wednesday, Ahn ruled that Elderts' 2008 disorderly conduct conviction can be introduced as evidence. Ahn said Deedy's testimony had established that there was enough of an issue as to who was the initial aggressor in the fatal shooting to allow the jury to hear about the prior conviction.
Futa argued that the disorderly conduct conviction would be "highly, highly prejudicial" to the prosecution's case.
Why would the trial have been more fair in Federal court?
I think everyone got a little tired of hearing about his "training," and the jury might wonder why on an island full of Federal agents and various military and civilian police forces, Deedy is the first guy to go out drinking, start a fight, shoot up a McDonalds, and kill an unarmed man who wasn't breaking the law or threatening anyone before Deedy stirred things up. You'd think guys would be dropping like flies around here.
This was also Deedy's opportunity to answer question that everyone had, like "If you were concerned about Perrine, why didn't just sit down next to him and call the police?" and "What was Jennifer West saying to you when she was obviously trying to restrain you?"
It's too bad he suffers from convenient memory syndrome.
On a slightly humorous note, I bet that HPD officer was FUrIOUS to find out that the armed shooter was hanging around the victim, with his weapon re-concealed, and Deedy initially failed to mention the role he played in that mess.

What an adventure I had on Saturday … I was educated, inspired and satiated, all in my own neighborhood.
I'd been mildly aware of the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History but my antennae went up recently when I heard they were conducting cultural-historical-food tours in Boynton Beach and Delray Beach … which is where I live. Their trademark tagline is "There's history in every bite." And we got our fill of each!
The museum is operated as a non-profit and, sadly, recently lost its space so the collections are in storage while the search is on for a new home. But, their less than a year old tours are thriving. The one I went on pretty much filled their nice vehicle.
Unfortunately, our day started out rainy (it's a rain or shine tour), but it didn't dampen anyone's spirit and when it counted (time to walk or eat!), it let up. Praise be!
What I learned. (So much.)
The trip was narrated by Lori Durante (more about her later – she deserves a full paragraph) with a running historical dialogue of Florida in all its various incarnations from discovery to farmland to industrialization. We heard about the Creek and Seminole natives, the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon, and other original discovers of note like Hernando de Soto; the actual territory and its subsequent expansion; the early 1900's settlers who were responsible for its growth and population; the booms, depressions, race relations; and more.
Linton, Boynton, Swinton, Flagler, etc. (the streets I cross frequently) came alive with the history of whom they were named after and what their specific contributions were to the area.
As we learned the history, we drove around and stopped at various buildings of historic and/or architectural note and toured historic neighborhoods. I was particularly impressed with our visit to the West Settlers District which was founded in the late 1800s by African and runaway American slaves.
We met Dee Dee, a wonderful hard-working woman who greeted us with her 2 children. She makes the best conch fritter I ever had which is served with a spicy remoulade-type sauce. We also got a bite of ribs.
On foot now, we made a few stops along Altantic Avenue (Delray's 'downtown'). We stopped for an authentic Neopolitan pizza making (and tasting) demonstration at Scuola Vecchia.
I was amazed that it took only 90 seconds in a 900 degree oven for the pizza to cook and be served to us.
Then we visited the historic Colony Hotel for a look around (it's quite picturesque but I've been there before).
And then we were off again. Next stop was Marianne's Gourmet Shop where we were greeted by the chef and a table of goodies (pesto cheese + crackers, corn + bean dip and yummy cookies).
In Boynton Beach, we visited the Secret Garden Cafe which operates an urban garden and donates 12% of its sales to the Community Caring Center's nutrition education programs for seniors, adults and kids in need. The Cafe also operates a sustainable food market and bakery on the premises. They gave us grass-fed beef sliders (along with a warning that USDA certified grass fed beef packaged and sold in supermarkets is only certifing that the cow ate grass for its last 180 days before slaughter).
Our last taste was Palermo's traditional cassata cake. The bakery owner met us in Macy's where they had a table set up for her to demonstrate the cake-making process and give us a taste.
I'd heard that Palermo's was a good bakery although I'd never been there and I was impressed to learn from the owner that she doesn't believe in sugar and uses honey; she's also very conscious of offering authentic Sicilian pastries. And I heard her mention something about Bravo and a reality TV program in the works!
[The tour was reasonably priced at $35 for 4 full hours, including the food and a few discounts in our goodie bag. I must note that each food sponsor was very engaging with the group and gave generous portions. I was so full by the end of the tour, that all I could eat for dinner later was a salad … and a glass of wine.
And about Lori J. Durante (photo lifted from her facebook page).
It turns out she was not only our guide, she is the curator and executive director of the museum. She is the voice, face and brains of it all and she is wildly impressive.
Even a casual visitor to FOODalogue knows I've traveled a lot and, therefore, been exposed to a myriad number of guides all over the world. Lori ranks right up there with the best of them. She is unbelievably (and unscripted) knowledgeable and her passion is palpable. I was enticed by her voice and narrative style which was strong, clear, and commanding … so important for a guide.
You may even know for a short period of time, I was the group leader for organized tour groups. As such, I know how difficult it is to keep a group under control and sticking to a schedule. Lori did an A+ job.
I would highly recommend the experience as 'satisfying on all levels'. In fact, I hope to take the Lake Worth and Lantana tour one day.
Thanks so much for the awesome Blog post about the Taste History Culinary Tours. Look forward to seeing you on a future tour.
What a fabulous tour. And all in your own back yard. I wish someone would do something like this over on our coast. How wonderful to discover those good conch fritters with the spicy sauce. Some cooks have a knack for making good fritters. Must know a secret or two.

I just love these kind of tours and try to seek them out when ever I travel, which isn't often enough!
Great write-up Joan, you expressed the experience of this tour perfectly. It was an interesting day, I learned a lot about the area and found a few places I will visit again. The only drawback for me was that Palermo's was demonstrated at Macy's and I would have perferred to have visited the bakery, which I will do very soon. The cassata was very good! Lori was full of knowledge.

Wow! I just love the idea of "tasting history." And I love it when you share your food tours. This is definitely a tour I would love to take. And I could almost swim to Florida right now for a really good conch fritter. I like to waltz down memory lane with you, Joan.

Another fabulous food tour. Your photos get better and better. Amazing how quick those oven cook the pizzas. Those oven are worth every penny.
Glad you had a great time despite the weather.
Wow I really want to go on that tour!
What a fabulous way to spend a rainy day at the beach!
Thank you for sharing.

BOOK I. Athena calls the attention of Zeus to the sad fate of Odysseus, her favorite among the Greek heroes. For eight years he has been kept by the nymph Kalypso on her island of Ogygia. though he longs for home. Zeus reminds her that Odysseus had Odysseus offended Poseidon, but agrees that Kalypso should be told to let him go. Athena then goes in disguise to Odysseus's son Telemakhos (or Telemachus), advising him to call a public assembly to deal with his mother Penelope's suitors, who are proving unruly and unwelcome houseguests and also to set sail in search of news of his father.
BOOK II. Telemakhos calls the assembly, which achieves nothing. He exchanges insults with the suitors, who want him to force his mother to remarry. Disguised as Mentor, Athena helps him find a boat and crew and depart by night,
BOOK III. First Telemakhos visits Pylos, the kingdom of Nestor, who is not much help. hard news about Odysseus.
BOOK IV.Telemakhos next goes to Sparta and visits with Menelaus and Helen, Menelaus's recovered wife. On his own way home, Menelaus had met and wrestled successfully with the the shape-changer Proteus, who had told him of the fate of his brother Agamemnon, murdered by Aegisthus. Proteus had also told Menelaus that Odysseus was marooned on Kalypso's island. While Telemakhos is hearing this, the suitors decide to ambush him on his return home.
BOOK V. Hermes tells Kalpyso to let Odysseus go. He builds himself a raft and sets off, but Poseidon notices him and sends winds to break up the craft. Athena stills most of the winds, and Odysseus is able to swim to shore, where he falls asleep naked in a grove.
BOOK VI. NAUSIKAA (or Nausicaa), the local princess, has been inspired in a dream by Athena to go wash her wedding garments. She spies the stranger and senses that he is no ordinary naked bum, so she advises him on how to make his way into the city and seek aid from her father.
BOOK VII. Disguising herself this time as a little girl, Athena guides Odysseus through the streets of Phaiakia unseen in a mist, till he reaches the feast hall of King Alkinoos and presents himself as a suppliant by grasping the knees of Queen Arete. The king gives him the honored place of his favorite son, Laodamas. Odysseus tells his hosts of his escape from Kalypso, but not his own identity.
BOOK VIII. The guest is entertained with games. Challenged by the young men, Odysseus shows off a bit. The blind bard Demodokos is brought in to amuse the warriors. He sings first of Aphrodite's adultery with Ares and then of the ruse of Trojan Horse. Hearing of his own exploits makes Odysseus weep, and they ask him why.
BOOK IX.. Odysseus identifies himself and tells the throng about his trip home, beginning with the story of the land of the Lotus-Eaters. He tells how he escaped from the Cyclops Polyphemus, whom he blinded, and how this won him and his men the enmity of Poseidon. Alkinoos and his people are suitably impressed.
BOOK X.After a visit to the wind king Aiolos, they came to the island of the witch KIRKE (or Circe). She turned Odysseus's men to swine, but he bedded her instead, and for his sake she restored his crew and gave him advice on making his way home.
BOOK XI.The witch sends Odysseus down to Hades to get more detailed advice from the dead seer Teiresias (or Tiresias). He also talks with his mother Antikleia, visits with various fallen comrades, and sees some other famous dead men, including Sisyphus and Tantalus.
BOOK XII.Odysseus tells of how he and his crew more or less survived various perils of the sea, the Seirenes (Sirens), Skylla (Scylla), and Kharybdis (Charybdis).
BOOK XIII. The Phaiakians return Odysseus home, where he is greeted by Athena. In disguise as usual, she reveals herself to him, fills him in on the situation on Ithaka, and transforms his appearance to that of an old man.
BOOK XIV. Odysseus is given shelter by the swineherd Eumaios, who does not, however, recognize his former master.
BOOK XV. While Odysseus and Eumaios are talking, Athena goes to Telemakhos in a dream and tells him it is time to return to Ithaka. She tells him that the suitors plan to ambush him and advises him to avoid them and go to the swineherd's hut.
BOOK XVI. Odysseus is reunited with his son Telemakhos and they discuss strategy while the suitors are back at Odysseus's palace discussing whether to kill Telemakhos.
BOOK XVII. Odysseus comes home disguised as a beggar to enter his own home. His old dog Argos recognizes his master and expires of happiness, but the suitors treat him badly. Antinoos even throws a stool at him.
BOOK XVIII. The suitors set up a boxing match between Odysseus and another tramp, Iros, and cheer him when he wins. Odysseus even gives Amphinomos a warning that retribution is bound to come upon the suitors, but Amphinomos, knowing better, stays. The suitors get drunk and go to bed.
BOOK XIX. Odysseus tells Penelope encouraging lies about her husband's whereabouts. She (probably) does not recognize him but tells him she is about to set a trial for the suitors and will marry the one who succeeds. His old nurse, Eurykleia, bathes his feet and recognizes him by an old scar but promises not to give him away.
BOOK XX. Morning brings breakfast for the suitors and more insults for Odysseus as a beggar. A visionary, Theoklymenos, sees blood running down the walls and goes home, but the suitors mock him and jeer that Telemakhos brings home odd sorts.
BOOKS XXI. Penelope sets up a test. She will marry the man who string the great bow of Odysseus and shoot it through twelve axeheads. None of the suitors can string it, but over their protests Odysseus is allowed to try and, of course, succeeds.
BOOK XXII. Odysseus now shoots Antinoos and tells the rest of the suitors they are about to die. Assisted by his son, the swineherd, and a cowherd, he mows the suitors down, with additional help from Athena disguised as Mentor. Afterwards they butcher the servant Melanthios, who helped the suitors get arms, and hang all the maids of Penelope who had slept with the suitors.
BOOK XXIII. Penelope proves herself a true wife by holding back until Odysseus proves himself her husband indeed by recalling the secret of the olive trunk that was made their wedding bed.
BOOK XXIV. The suitors go down to
the Underworld and give their news to the Odysseus's old friends there. He and his
son go to see his father Laertes. Athena steps in to make peace when the
suitors' relatives arrive looking for revenge.

Daydream Nation
Seventeen-year-old Caroline Wexler (Kat Dennings) is facing a teenager's nightmare: her widowed father has moved them from the big city to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. When Caroline realizes she has nothing in common with the burnout losers in her new school she pursues the one person who excites her interest - her handsome young teacher, Mr. Anderson (Josh Lucas). A bizarre love triangle ensues between Caroline, Mr. Anderson, and a sweet, but troubled classmate (Reece Thompson). Featuring a hit indie soundtrack in this mash-up of the bizarre and the beautiful, Daydream Nation is a coming-of-age story for the 21st century.
Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
"Daydream Nation" rolls elements of "Juno," "American Beauty," "Donnie Darko" and "Twin Peaks" into a potent blunt.Stephen Holden, New York Times, 05.05.2011
A fitfully engaging effort that is most successful as a performance piece for actors Kat Dennings and Reece Thompson.Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times, 05.05.2011
Goldbach fills the story with too many distractions, but Dennings, known for "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist," is feline and fun.Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News, 05.06.2011
Charged with alternating currents of teen angst, sardonic wit, nervous dread and impudent sensuality, Daydream Nation suggests Juno as reimagined by David Lynch, or a funnier, sunnier Donnie Darko.Joe Leydon, Variety, 04.15.2011

David Miller, director of research at Iowa Farm Bureau, talks about his crops near Lucas. This corn was planted late. Iowa farmers are hoping for a late frost so their crops have time to fully develop.
- Filed Under
The Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour estimated corn yields of 171.94 bushels per acre, well ahead of the recent figure released this month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Still, the advisory group cautioned that delays in planting the crop this year likely would make the figure unreachable.
The tour of Iowa found some fields in the northeast part of the state with nothing planted, and even in fields with decent yield potential, there were holes without any corn. USDA forecast on Aug. 12 a yield of 163 bushels per acre. This year, Iowa is expected to be the largest U.S. corn grower and ...
