Shades of Al Jaffee and MAD Magazine . . . A printed and folded novelty celebrating Louis XVIII, King of France, 1814-1824. (Published by J.B. Verzy, circa 1814). The piece unfolds to spell out the virtues of the man who ruled during the Bourbon Restoration.

A beautiful example of a kindergarten exercise - specifically the 14th of Friedrich Fröbel's "gifts" intended to allow young children free range of play and expression. This 26-panel paper weaving book shows a variety of patterns, including one page with the makers initials and the date of creation. This example is apparently American, from 1892, made by "M. Kistler"

An exceedingly rare paper share for an English company traded at the height of the stock mania in the summer of 1720 - perhaps the only known survival of this iconic type of object that appears in numerous satirical prints and plays from the period as the symbol of folly - worthless bits of paper being blown by the wind of speculation.

A previous issueo f the IBM Journal of Research and Development (May 1987) addressed the topic of computer-aided design (CAD) of products. The present issue is a logical successor, exploring modeling techniques implemented in software for the representation and analysis of products and their manufacturing processes. These techniques, which have come to be known as virtual prototyping, have as basic goals meeting competitive needs in reducing product cycle time and increasing product quality. This is to be done in an environment where product and process complexity is increasing rapidly. The virtual prototyping approach is based on developing fundamental understanding of a product and its manufacturing processes, validating this understanding through physical experiment, and implementing it in software models. The goals of virtual prototyping are met through exhaustive analysis of products and processes as part of the product and manufacturing engineering design process, thereby reducing both the need for physical experiment and the chance of problems arising later. In manufacturing, virtual prototyping can play important roles—for example, in yield learning (improving the production yield of the manufacturing process) from initial low-volume production to full-scale output/

Obvioulsy Hariston will be coming up soon from his rehab but what about letting Dickerson play some center and bat lead off to see what he has. Maybe he's our leadoff hitter and centerfielder for next year.
Obvioulsy Hariston will be coming up soon from his rehab but what about letting Dickerson play some center and bat lead off to see what he has. Maybe he's our leadoff hitter and centerfielder for next year.
Not if the return features Brian Anderson, aka Chris Dickerson's twin brother.
With the team going nowhere, might as well let him have his cup of coffee and see what happens.
Makes sense to send down coffey and bring up dickerson for the weekend.
Dickerson has no future whatsoever as a big league player. He can barely cut it in AAA.
So the answer should be no.
Are you a Major League Scout? What makes you think he has no future with the Reds? He's actually having a pretty good year with Louisville and has been hot lately. I think he deserves a cup of coffee this year to see what he's got. It can't hurt we are going nowhere this year.
I would much rather see Dickerson get the occasional start over Patterson but Hairston needs to be in CF if he can come back to where he was.
If Corey Patterson is still getting a chance why not give the job to Dickerson.... cant do any worse than Patterson, what a joke
According to Jocketty, they will bring back Hairston early. From Fay
"We'll probably bring Jerry Hairston Jr. back a day early. We'll play him in center with Jay Bruce in right and Dunn in left. It will give us a chance to see how that outfield works and evaluate for the future."
This is good news to those who want the Reds to re-sign Dunn.
Dickerson's got tools...but not a leadoff man in the majors. Would be an exciting 7-8 hitter, especially with his power potential. Guy should be given a shot.
DFA Corey Patterson!
Chris Dickerson would strike out at an Adam Dunn rate (180/yr) against major league pitching. However, he wouldn't hit half the HR's Dunn does, and would probably walk less than a quarter of what AD does.
He's fast, he's a good defender, he's got some pop. He's never going to be anything other than a reserve OFer.
We can use a good reserve outfielder... particularly one with those qualities.
I don't agree with the description. Dickerson is very fast, with an average-good arm. He plays almost gold glove defense. I think he would hit 25 homeruns given everyday playing time. Also, I think he would steal you 30 bases in a given year.
Corey is so lost that for a half minute I almost forgot he was even on the team. Which everyone should at least try. It can only lead to an overall happier state of mind.
But what I really meant was that a guy with those qualities should at least be given a look, and an opportunity as a reserve outfielder rather than wasting away at Triple A. If nothing else he can be, hopefully, a more productive version of Patterson.

Peach Melba Pie Pops
Peach Melba Pie Pops
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare Sweetened Pastry for Double-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface roll half of the dough at a time into a 12-inch circle. Using a 2 1/2-inch round or scalloped cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds; reroll scraps as necessary (you should have 40 rounds total). Place half of the pastry cutouts 2 inches apart on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, allowing space for sticks. Spread each round with some of the raspberry jam, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Press lollipop sticks gently into the pastry cutouts on the baking sheets, about 3/4 way atop the round.
- Place pie filling in a medium bowl. Using kitchens scissors, snip fruit into small pieces. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and cinnamon.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the peach mixture onto the centers of the pastry cutouts on the baking sheets. Top each with a raspberry. Brush edges with milk. Top with the remaining pastry cutouts; seal edges with a fork. Brush with a little milk.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Using a spatula, transfer pastry pops to wire racks (do not pick up by sticks while hot); cool completely.
- For icing, in a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons milk, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing reaches drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. If desired, sprinkle evenly with chopped almonds. Let stand until icing is set.

What you should always keep in your mind when filing for Pradaxa lawsuit
Suppose that you are sick and if the physicians carry out tests on you, they notice that the condition that's troubling you is only swing. You get shocked however they give you hope that there is a great drug/medicine which will help you in all this. The substance they're speaking about is Pradaxa that has been employed for several years. But, when you get the blood-thinning medication, you realize that you are having many unwanted effects. These negative effects are not normal and so you opt to just take the opinion of yet another doctor who has expertise in handling such a situation. On telling the title to him of the drug you took, the physician tells you that your life is in danger since the drug isn't efficient and effective. What could you do?
First thing that you need to do is always to take it easy. This will enable you to make a great decision/judgment. Many individuals feel that when you make a decision when you're sober, then odds are that you will be in a posture to make a better decision that when you're anxious and stressed.
The next thing to do is always to seek the opinion of the doctor who you trust. All the medical practioners can usually guidance that you just file case. To do this, you need certainly to locate a good and honest lawyer who'll represent you. The attorney is likely to be very instrumental in the Pradaxa lawsuit.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
Refactoring has proven its value in a wide range of development projects–helping software professionals improve system designs, maintainability, extensibility, and performance. Now, for the first time, leading agile methodologist Scott Ambler and renowned consultant Pramodkumar Sadalage introduce powerful refactoring techniques specifically designed for database systems.
Ambler and Sadalage demonstrate how small changes to table structures, data, stored procedures, and triggers can significantly enhance virtually any database design–without changing semantics. You'll learn how to evolve database schemas in step with source code–and become far more effective in projects relying on iterative, agile methodologies.
This comprehensive guide and reference helps you overcome the practical obstacles to refactoring real-world databases by covering every fundamental concept underlying database refactoring. Using start-to-finish examples, the authors walk you through refactoring simple standalone database applications as well as sophisticated multi-application scenarios. You'll master every task involved in refactoring database schemas, and discover best practices for deploying refactorings in even the most complex production environments.
The second half of this book systematically covers five major categories of database refactorings. You'll learn how to use refactoring to enhance database structure, data quality, and referential integrity; and how to refactor both architectures and methods. This book provides an extensive set of examples built with Oracle and Java and easily adaptable for other languages, such as C#, C++, or VB.NET, and other databases, such as DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, and Sybase.
Using this book's techniques and examples, you can reduce waste, rework, risk, and cost–and build database systems capable of evolving smoothly, far into the future.

Scott W. Ambler is a software process improvement (SPI) consultant living just north of Toronto. He is founder and practice leader of the Agile Modeling (AM) (www.agilemodeling.com), Agile Data (AD) (www.agiledata.org), Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) (www.enterpriseunifiedprocess.com), and Agile Unified Process (AUP) (www.ambysoft.com/unifiedprocess) methodologies. Scott is the (co-)author of several books, including Agile Modeling (John Wiley & Sons, 2002), Agile Database Techniques (John Wiley & Sons, 2003), The Object Primer, Third Edition (Cambridge University Press, 2004), The Enterprise Unified Process (Prentice Hall, 2005), and The Elements of UML 2.0 Style (Cambridge University Press, 2005). Scott is a contributing editor with Software Development magazine (www.sdmagazine.com) and has spoken and keynoted at a wide variety of international conferences, including Software Development, UML World, Object Expo, Java Expo, and Application Development. Scott graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Information Science. In his spare time Scott studies the Goju Ryu and Kobudo styles of karate.
Pramod J. Sadalage is a consultant for ThoughtWorks, an enterprise application development and integration company. He first pioneered the practices and processes of evolutionary database design and database refactoring in 1999 while working on a large J2EE application using the Extreme Programming (XP) methodology. Since then, Pramod has applied the practices and processes to many projects. Pramod writes and speaks about database administration on evolutionary projects, the adoption of evolutionary processes with regard to databases, and evolutionary practices' impact upon database administration, in order to make it easy for everyone to use evolutionary design in regards to databases. When he is not working, you can find him spending time with his wife and daughter and trying to improve his running.

As far as "money grubbing" goes, you don't make a lot of money writing books. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble on that issue. ;-)
I should say I disagree with the reviewer's opinion on Scott Ambler's work. I have read Ambler's articles since the late 1990s (Ronin Intl) and have bought most of the books written or co-authored by Scott Ambler. I do believe most of the concepts/ideas implemented in ORM ([...]) frameworks such as Hibernate/NHibernate, JDO, JPA are there thanks to articles/whitepapers like the ones Ambler has published. I might be wrong but the Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch was first coined by Ambler.
My short advise, read Codd then read Scott Ambler, but don't get stuck on the "SPROCs and cursors" world, move on.
Done, bought!
He is just trying to jump on the refactoring bandwagon and find a profitable niche with the NDBA(near-DBAs) community who are OO programmers that do not really understand data concepts. Refactoring is not supposed to be a politically acceptable buzzword for perpetual recoding in the hope that you will eventually approximate to the undefined business requirements you did not take the time to collect in the first place.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
This brings me to the second purpose of this book. Many DBAs view their jobs as protectors of the data. While that is admirable, they sometimes forget that they are part of a software development team whose job is to provide value to the organization through the development of new (and enhancement of existing) applications. One of the best DBAs I ever worked with viewed himself as a "Data Valet." He said his job was to make sure the data was presented to applications when and where they wanted and to protect the doors from getting dinged while under his care. Through its first five chapters and then the refactorings that follow, this book will help DBAs expand their view of their role in the organization from one of simply protecting data to one of enhancing the value of data to the organization.
This book is one that you'll keep on your reference shelf for many years to come. Highly recommended.
Several of the structural refactorings are just simple database schema changes: rename/drop column/table/view. Adding is not really a refactoring so add column/table/view were cataloged as 'transformations' - changes that do affect the application, a distinction that appears to me a little clumsy. Some structural refactorings are more interesting: merge/split columns/tables, move column, introduce/remove surrogate key, introduce calculated column, introduce associative table.
The data quality refactorings include introduce/drop default values, null or check constraints, standardize codes, formats and data types, use consistent keys and lookup tables. Most of these are common best practices, seeing them cataloged as refactorings didn't yield me any new insights. Only replacing type codes with flags was of special interest.
Referential integrity refactorings include the obvious add/drop foreign keys with optional cascading delete, but also using triggers to create a change history and hard vs. soft deletes. Using before and after delete triggers to implement soft deletes is probably the best example in the book.
Architectural refactorings include using CRUD methods (ie. stored procedures or functions to select/insert/update/delete records), query functions that return cursor refs, interchanging methods and views, implementing methods in stored procedures, using materialized views and using local mirror tables vs. remote 'official' data sources. All these are common design techniques and the discussion of motivation and tradeoffs is particularly relevant.
The final section on method refactorings is more abbreviated and covers typical code refactorings. These qualify for inclusion only because databases include stored procedures, but they have nothing to do with schema evolution.
An important aspect of this book is that the catalog of refactorings is presented in the context of evolutionary database development described in the first five chapters: this approach emphasises an iterative approach, automated regression testing, configuration control of schema objects and easy availability of personalized application database environments for developers. Refactorings and transformations are intended to be applied one by one, and an automated regression test suite used to maintain confidence that a change does not introduce an application defect. Change control and a change tracking mechanism are essential to manage the application of schema changes to integration, QA and production environments.
What do I like about this book? The catalog of refactorings is thorough (some might say pedantic) which makes it a good learning tool for new database developers and DBAs, and as a shared reference for communicating on larger projects and in larger organizations. Experienced DBAs working on smaller projects are less likely to find it useful.
What don't I like? Relatively little is provided about the tools required to make regular refactoring practical, the authors simply state that these are being worked on. utPLSQL is not mentioned at all. The discussion on tracking changes is thin (but check out the LiquiBase project on Sourceforge). No guidance is provided on how you might use Ant to build and maintain developer database environments. Little is covered on the tough topic of building and maintaining test data sets. A final pet peeve: no discussion of refactoring across multiple schemas shared by an application suite.
In summary this book sketches out some important ideas but much work remains to be done. The catalog takes a number of established techniques and best practices and places them in a new framework which at least provides value to some for now.
The first five chapters describe how to go about database refactoring. Chapter 1 overviews the idea that you can evolve your database schema in small steps, a radical departure for many traditional DBAs. It also overviews the need for supporting techniques such as agile data modeling, database regression testing, and version control of your data models and scripts. I would have liked to see more coverage of these topics, but at least the modeling material is covered in Ambler's Agile Modeling book and there are some great SCM books out there.
Chapters 2 and 3 walk through the process of implementing a database refactoring, first through the simple situation where there is only a handful of applications accessing the database. I guess this sort of thing happens in smaller companies, but most of the time you really have to worry about scores of applications accessing your database which is a much harder situation. This is actually the focus of Chapter 3 and of the presented solutions in Chapters 6 through 11 which provide reference implementations for all of the database refactorings. This approach belies the true strength of the book: it reflects actual experience in large organizations, not just the theoretical pie in the sky stuff you see from other authors.
Chapter 4 focuses on deploying database refactorings in production, providing detailed instructions for how to roll refactorings between various sandboxes. It importantly describes how to merge the refactorings of several teams together. If you have 100 applications accessing a shared database, then potentially you need to manage the refactorings coming from 100 different development teams. Of course it would never be that bad, but even merging refactorings from 10 teams would be tough. This might be where the technique falls apart because many companies likely don't have data managers who are skilled enough to do this sort of thing efficiently enough to keep up with agile developers. We need new tools, so hopefully companies like Oracle will build something for us.
Chapter 5 describes a collection of best practices and challenges pertaining to refactoring databases. The authors share their experiences as well as identify potential issues, such as a lack of tooling and agile expertise within the data community, that could slow adoption of this technique. My guess is that the smarter teams within companies will start doing this stuff right away, for the most part it's pretty easy technically, but that bigger companies will struggle to change as they always do.
Chapters 6+ are reference descriptions for the individual refactorings. Each one is described using a UML data model, which is a little strange at first although once you get used to it you can see how it's a much better notation than Crow's feet, a detailed text description and source code. The source code examples are detailed, I guess the authors want to be thorough and provide a complete solution so that there's no question how to implement each refactoring. The application examples are written in Java or Hibernate, but they're simple enough that you could see how to implement them in C#, C++, Ruby, or even VB. The database code is Oracle, once again it's pretty straightforward so you can easily see how it would work in other DBs like Sybase or MySQL.
All in all, if you're a DBA or agile programmer you need to seriously think about buying this book.
The more interesting part of the book talks about how to manage and evolve a database in general (e.g. keep a table that tracks all changes that have been applied). But this part doesn't go quite as far as I'd hoped it would, e.g. there is no discussion of how to track down who is using what parts of the database prior to refactoring (proxy driver? access stats?), and the discussion is limited to relational databases (which may not even be the best choice for rapidly evolving data models).
btw there is an interesting open source tool called LiquiBase (apparently inspired by this book) that attempts to help manage (and deploy) database "refactorings" as described in this book.

I have a 24# turkey with a dry brine consisting of brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder and thyme on it. I know that it will fit in my BGE with a platesetter. I want to really smoke it. I plan to wash off the brine before I cook it, and let it dry well. I will load the grill to the top with the lump and some big chunks of hickory, put a pan of water on the platesetter, and the turkey on top of the grill on a v rack. If I set up my BBQ guru, do I do it long and slow, like 225 or so? I am after a nice smokey taste with a nice pick color of the smoked meat. Any suggestions?

4-H classes, contests and programs aided by volunteers
Published: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 2, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
James Hyde and Patrick McCraw, members of the Young Naturalist 4-H Club, will teach children ages 10 to 18 how to make audible continuity checkers from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov, 12. Youth do not have to be 4-H members to participate. Students will learn about electricity, the different electrical components that make up the project circuit, how to position these components onto a printed circuit board and how to safely use soldering equipment.
The continuity checker is a diagnostic tool to assist with finding shorts or breaks in electrical continuity. If the circuit path is good, or closed, then an audible signal is generated. If the path is open, such as a broken wire or open switch, then no audible signal will be heard when checked. The continuity checker can be used to test fuses or light bulbs. A good fuse or bulb will have a complete path when checked for continuity and will result in an audible signal. If the fuse is bad or needs to be replaced, no audible signal will be produced.
Call Jean Miller at 697-4891 for a registration form for the electric class or go by the Cooperative Extension office in Jackson Park from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. There is a $2 fee for the class, due at registration.
The electric class, as most 4-H classes, is taught by volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of 4-H. Volunteer leaders supervise all of the 4-H clubs. Most 4-H club leaders are parents of club members. Parents and grandparents who are not leaders are also involved in club meetings, field trips and special events. Volunteer speakers, with expertise in areas of interest to clubs, are often invited to club meetings.
Special interest programs, taught primarily by volunteers, offered by Henderson County 4-H include:
Volunteers judge all of the 4-H contests: Bake-Off, Photography, Dairy Poster, Fashion Revue, Mini-gardening and 4-H Entertains (talent show). In the spring, 4-H'ers start working on presentations, which are planned talks using posters and props. As children develop their presentations, volunteer coaches listen and make suggestions. Children prepare for competition with presentations. In the competition, volunteers judge the presentations and choose county winners, who go on to district competition. 4-H'ers also complete project records, in which they set goals for the year, record what they've done and learned in a particular project, and summarize their activities throughout the year. Children create scrapbooks, illustrating their project work, and write My 4-H Story about their year. Counties trade project records, to be judged by volunteers. County and district winners win awards.
4-H volunteers are young, old, male, female, suburban, urban and rural. They represent different cultures and social backgrounds. Some are parents who enjoy spending time with their children, while at the same time acting in a leadership role for the entire club. Others don't have children in 4-H, but have skills and expertise that strengthen the 4-H program. And there are those who grew up in 4-H and want to give something back to the organization that meant so much to them as youths. Many volunteer for the experience of interacting with young people and watching them grow in confidence and knowledge.
If interested in volunteering, call 697-4891.
Denise Sherrill is the 4-H agent for N.C. Cooperative Extension Service in Henderson County.

The second season is finally here for the Starkville Academy football team. Starkville Academy will end a six-year absence from the postseason at 7 tonight when it plays host to Clarksdale Lee Academy in a first-round Mississippi Association of Independent Schools Class AAA, Division II playoff game at J.E. Logan Field in Starkville.
STARKVILLE -- Win and you're the champion. It's a simple formula for the Starkville High School football team as its prepares for its game at 7 tonight against Neshoba Central that will decide the Class 5A, Region 2 title.
While the West Point High School football team's string of two straight Class 5A region championships is in jeopardy, second place is still important to the Green Wave. West Point can salt away at least second place with a victory at 7 tonight against New Hope in a Class 5A, Region 1 game at West Point's McCallister Field.
It may be early November, but veteran Starkville High School cross country coach Caroline Woomer is hoping to unwrap a few presents at the Mississippi High School Activities Association State Cross Country meet Saturday at Choctaw Trails in Clinton.
Starkville Academy coach Jeff Terrill doesn't totally understand the need for recent rule changes enacted by the Mississippi Association of Community College and Junior College presidents. One thing Terrill knows is he doesn't like the changes.
East Mississippi Community College didn't play many tight games in its undefeated run through regular season this year. The tightest game No. 3 EMCC played was a 20-17 victory against Hinds C.C. on Sept. 8 in Raymond. A lot has happened since the second week of the season.
The Noxubee County High School football team had to fight the urge to look ahead to its game against Spain Park (Ala.). The Tigers and all of Noxubee County had to resist the temptation of thinking about their C Spire Wireless "Bright Lights Football" regionally televised game against Louisville.
Sometimes it's not about how big your weapons are, but how many you have. The Hamilton High School football team has an arsenal of offensive weapons loaded and ready to go at 7 tonight when it plays host to Hollandale Simmons in the first round of the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 2A North State playoffs.
ABERDEEN -- The Aberdeen High School football team received the lift it needed last week. Now coach Chris Duncan hopes his Bulldogs are ready to shine in a time of the year that they have come to own.
Todd Bramble has watched his University of Alabama women's soccer team come a long way in the past two months.
Recent rule changes for athletics at Mississippi Association of Community and Junior College member institutions are roughly a month old. However, the buzz hasn't died down. Instead, it has gotten louder.
A graveyard job. That's how Jason Simpson's friends and colleagues in college football described the job of head coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
The West Oktibbeha County and Pelahatchie high school football teams will look to usher out the regular season on a positive note when they meet at 7 tonight in a Class 1A, Region 3 game in Maben. The region's playoff teams already have been decided. Nanih Waiya (8-2, 7-0 region) and Noxapater (7-3, 7-0) will play for first place tonight in Louisville. West Oktibbeha and Pelahatchie are two games behind those teams, and will play tonight for third and fourth in the region.
MarkAnne Hobart didn't win any gold medals at the Mississippi High School Activities Association State swim meet Saturday, but that didn't keep a smile from creeping across her face.
It is fun to be home again for the Aliceville High School football team. Playing a home postseason game for the first time in five seasons, Aliceville will play host to Washington County at 7 p.m. Friday in an opening-round game of the Alabama High School Activities Association Class 3A playoffs.
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- The eighth-seeded University of Alabama women's soccer team opened the Southeastern Conference tournament with a 1-0 victory against top-seeded South Carolina on Wednesday night at the Orange Beach Sportsplex. The win is the first for the Crimson Tide in the tournament since 1998.
STARKVILLE -- There's a moment minutes before kickoff every Saturday when Mississippi State cornerback Johnthan Banks does something in drills his position coach has never seen.
STARKVILLE -- Today marks one-year anniversary former Mississippi State football player Nick Bell died after a fight with cancer. MSU is using Homecoming this weekend to honor his memory. The MSU Student Association hosted a 3.6-mile run Tuesday evening to raise money for the Nick Bell Mentoring Memorial Foundation.
SCOOBA -- Rewarded with a No. 7 NJCAA preseason ranking following consecutive national tournament appearances, the East Mississippi Community College men's basketball team will tip off the 2011-12 season at 7 tonight when it plays host to Southern Sports Academy at Keyes T. Currie Coliseum.
Todd Bramble wasn't about to complain. Armed with all of the amenities anyone could want to occupy their time on a four-hour bus ride, the University of Alabama women's soccer coach did what a lot of people would do: He took a nap.

The Pythagorean Theorem : A 4,000-year History
List price: US$24.95
Currently unavailable
AbeBooks may have this title (opens in new window).Try AbeBooks
By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics, one remembered from high school geometry class by even the most math-phobic students. Well over four hundred proofs are known to exist, including ones by a twelve-year-old Einstein, a young blind girl, Leonardo da Vinci, and a future president of the United States. Here - perhaps for the first time in English - is the full story of this famous theorem. Although attributed to Pythagoras, the theorem was known to the Babylonians more than a thousand years before him. He may have been the first to prove it, but his proof - if indeed he had one - is lost to us. Euclid immortalized it as Proposition 47 in his Elements, and it is from there that it has passed down to generations of students. The theorem is central to almost every branch of science, pure or applied. It has even been proposed as a means to communicate with extraterrestrial beings, if and when we discover them. And, expanded to four-dimensional space-time, it plays a pivotal role in Einstein's theory of relativity. In this book, Eli Maor brings to life many of the characters that played a role in the development of the Pythagorean theorem, providing a fascinating backdrop to perhaps our oldest enduring mathematical legacy.show more

Review quote
Honorable Mention for the 2007 Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Mathematics, Association of American Publishers "This excellent biography of the theorem is like a history of thought written in lines and circles, moving from ancient clay tablets to Einstein's blackboards... There is something intoxicating about seeing one truth revealed in so many ways. It all makes for hours of glorious mathematical distraction."--Ben Longstaff, New Scientist "[The Pythagorean Theorem] is aimed at the reader with an interest in the history of mathematics. It should also appeal to most well-educated people...It is a story based on a theme and guided by a timeline...As a popular account of important ideas and their development, the book should be read by anyone with a good education. It deserves to succeed."--Peter M. Neumann, Times Higher Education Supplement "Based on this recent book, Maor just keeps getting better. Already recognized for his excellent books on infinity, the number e, and trigonometry, Maor offers this new work as a comprehensive overview of the Pythagorean Theorem...If one has never read a book by Eli Maor, this book is a great place to start."--J. Johnson, Choice "Maor's book is a concise history of the Pythagorean theorem, including the mathematicians, cultures, and people influenced by it. The work is well written and supported by several proofs and exampled from Chinese, Arabic, and European sources the document how these unique cultures came to understand and apply the Pythagorean theorem. [The book] provides thoughtful commentary on the historical connections this fascinating theorem has to many cultures and people."--Michael C. Fish, Mathematics Teacher "This book will make for good supplementary reading for high school students, high school teachers, and those with a general interest in mathematics... The author's enthusiasm for his subject is evident throughout the book."--James J. Tattersull, Mathematical Reviews "This book goes beyond the theorem and its proofs to set it beautifully in the context of its time and subsequent history."--Eric S. Rosenthal, Mathematics Magazine "This is an excellent book on the history of the Pythagorean Theorem... This book is suitable to any student who has basic knowledge of calculus but the layperson will also find it interesting... Maor has an exceptional method of writing very technical mathematics in a seamlessly way."--Kuldeep, Mathematics and My Diaryshow more
Flap copy
"At last, a popular book that isn't afraid to print a mathematical formula in all its symbolic glory! Thanks to Eli Maor for proving--in his delightful, playful way--the eternal importance of a three-sided idea as old as humankind."--Dava Sobel, author of "Longitude""Eli Maor has brought four thousand years of history back to life, all based on the Pythagorean theorem but still giving the times a distinctly human look. This book is designed for readers who are inspired, or who want to be inspired, by the numbers that Eli uses to tell his story. Readers will learn about the mathematics of the time, but more important, they will understand the people and the ideas of that period. A monumental effort."--David H. Levy, National Sharing the Sky Foundation"There's a lot more to the Pythagorean theorem than a + b = c, and you'll find it all in Eli Maor's new book. Destined to become a classic, this book is written with Maor's usual high level of skill, scholarship, and attention to detail. He's also got a sense of humor that will please a range of readers. As we used to say in the 1950s, 'Miss it and be square!'"--Paul J. Nahin, author of "Chases and Escapes" and "Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula""Eli Maor states that the Pythagorean theorem 'is arguably the most frequently used theorem in all of mathematics.' He then supports this claim by taking his reader on a journey from the earliest evidence of knowledge of the theorem to Einstein's theory of relativity and Wiles's proof of Fermat's last theorem, from the Babylonians around 1800 BCE to the end of the twentieth century. I think that the reader who makes the journey with Maor will be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the first author who has sifted through all the mathematics, history of mathematics, and physics books and collected for us just the material directly related to the Pythagorean theorem."--Robert W. Langer, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claireshow more

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's signature health care law will bring a new twist to tax filing in 2015, a year in which much else will seem familiar when you're working on your return.
WASHINGTON - Rejected.
A notice from the Internal Revenue Service saying your return won't be accepted might be your first clue that your identity has been stolen.
It's not just national monuments like Mount Rushmore than could benefit from a good power wash every now and then.
WASHINGTON - Schools and classrooms are spiffed up - maybe.
New textbooks have been ordered - perhaps.
Teachers are energized - hopefully.
What's certain is that millions of children in the United States are heading to school after the summer.
WASHINGTON - Taxpayers preparing to file their 2012 returns can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Think changing jobs is difficult?
It can be even harder if you're a baby boomer.
In times of economic hardship, "do-it-yourself" is a tempting mantra for many homeowners with dripping faucets, running toilets, leaky windows or sticky locks.
Cleaning the bathroom can be daunting, even if you're armed with traditional cleaners laden with bleach and strong but perhaps environmentally unfriendly ingredients.
The kitchen in Abe Abuchowski's Califon, N.J., home needed updating, but he didn't want the expense of replacing the cabinets. So he chose a less costly option.
"The old cabinets were in really good shape," he said.

Four Franklin College volleyball players — including two from Jackson County — have been named to the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference coaches preseason watch list for the 2014 season.
Junior Mackenzie Wieneke, a 2012 graduate of Seymour High School, earned first-team all-HCAC honors in 2013 after leading the league and ranking 13th nationally by averaging 5.81 digs per set. She also ranked 30th nationally in total digs with 639. Wieneke helped the 2013 defensive unit rank fourth nationally among NCAA Division III teams with 20.3 digs per set.
Junior Kourtney Settle, a 2012 graduate of Brownstown Central High School, tied with senior teammate Jordan Finke of Indianapolis with a team-high 67 blocks in 2013. Settle ranked second on the team with 234 kills, while Finke added 221 kills.
The other Grizzly to make the list is sophomore Ashley Bazier of Terre Haute. In 2013, she had 608 assists as the team's setter, was named to the HCAC all-freshman team, had 223 digs and compiled a .391 hitting percentage.
In the 2014 HCAC coaches preseason poll, Franklin was picked to finish in seventh place. In 2013, the Grizzlies won 15 matches, marking the most victories since 2005.
The Grizzlies open the 2014 season by participating in the HCAC-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Challenge on Aug. 30 and 31 at Manchester University.

The Western Classical Tradition in Linguisticsby Keith Allan, D. J. Allan
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 02/01/2007
Publisher: Equinox Publishing
The Western Classical Tradition in linguistics extends from Ancient Greece to the 21st century and has spread from Europe to the other four inhabited continents. It is a story of successive stages of language study, each building upon, or reacting against, the preceding period. There is a theoretical track passing through Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics to the scholastics of the later middle ages, on to the vernacular grammarians of the renaissance, then the rationalists and universal grammarians of the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries. Joining this is a tradition relating language to thought handed on from Epicurus and Lucretius to Locke, Condillac, Humboldt, Saussure, Boas, Sapir, Whorf and today's cognitivists. There is at the same time a pedagogical track deriving from the Greek grammarians Dionysius Thrax and Apollonius Dyscolus via the Latins, Donatus, Priscian, and their commentators, a track that gives rise to prescriptivism and applied linguistics. The book's penultimate chapter examines the re-ascendancy of hypothetico-deductive theory over the inductivist theories of the early 20th century, concluding that both approaches are necessary for the proper modelling of language in the 21st century and beyond.

Karl Rove-Funded Ad Says Elizabeth Warren Is In Bed With Wall Street
Seems like only a month ago that Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS was running ads against Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, darkly warning of her ties to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The ads pointed out that she had taken credit for providing the "intellectual foundation" for the movement and is generally supportive of the demonstrators, who Crossroads characterized as "extreme left protesters." Something must have gone wrong with that message, however, because this week, Crossroads returns with a new Warren attack ad that paints her as a champion of the bailed-out Wall Street banks.

We picked Adalyn if we have a girl. I came across the name when we had DD, but already had her name picked out. We like uncommon and even unique names. I had never heard Adalyn before and have never met anyone with that name. It seemed pretty uncommon but not weird. Now I keep seeing people who are planning to use that name. Is it more popular than I realized? Is my (possible) DD going to end up having a common name? DH and I both have common names and don't like it. At one point in high school I was one of 4 Amandas in my class. So what do you think? Common/uncommon?
Adalyn- popular name??
ive only known one little girl named adalyn.
i dont think its too popular. plus its beautiful

Adalyn came up at #198, but all the different spellings have different rankings. I wish I could know how popular the name is despite the spelling. Also, if it is 198 this year, does that mean it will be 175 next year? I just told DH and now he is worried too!
DH- married 6/19/09
Here you go! Last year, it was 53.
The combined spelling list is much more accurate since so many people think misspelling a name is making it more unique.
Thank you for giving me the link. I was just looking at 2011 and it was #65... I think I might cry!
DH- married 6/19/09
It depends on how much it bothers you that it may become very popular. My friend just legally changed her daughter's name (at just 11 months old) from Adalyn to Adeline, purely because the -lyn ending had become so popular in her area and she had met more than 3 other little girls with the exact same name in the past couple months. I think it really depends on where you live, as well.
It's a very pretty name, though!
I only know one other Adalyn though, and it's a beautiful name regardless!

Squad car footage of Eric Hightower's brutal arrest released; St. Paul cop reportedly fired [VIDEO]
In this still from the squad footage, Hightower screams for help after he was repeatedly pepper sprayed. His cries went unanswered.
The Pioneer Press recently obtained squad car footage of the brutal arrest of Eric Hightower last August 28.
SEE ALSO: Was peaceful Occupy activist arrested in downtown Mpls just for filming police? [VIDEO]
The footage shows St. Paul officer Matthew Gorans dragging Hightower into the squad by his hair, then pepper spraying him in the ear. Later, while Hightower is being driven to jail, officer Jesse Zilge ignores his repeated agonized pleas for someone to wipe his face. Medical personnel suspect Hightower suffered a punctured eardrum during the struggle.
Here's the footage (most of the action takes place around the one-minute mark):
The chain of events immediately preceding the squad footage was also controversial, as Zilge was videotaped macing, kicking, and punching Hightower while he lay helplessly on a sidewalk.
Hightower was being arrested on suspicion of domestic assault. He pleaded guilty in May.
Zilge and Gorans were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with the incident last November, but sources told the PiPress that following an internal investigation, St. Paul Police Chief Thomas Smith decided to fire Gorans and suspend Zilge for 30 days. Gorans and Smith are appealing those disciplinary measures through the union grievance process.
Representatives of the police union told the PiPress the video shows the arrest "out of context and apart from the rest of the investigation."
