The fact that $\phi(30) = 8$ can also be exploited nicely to fit longer intervals into the cache. –  j.p. Jul 27 '10 at 19:18
Good analysis. It's worth noting, though, that $C_2$ isn't really constant, in that it depends on the amount of sieving done! Suppose you use a Miller-Rabin test followed by ECPP if needed. The expected cost is cost(M-R) + cost(ECPP)/1000, since about 999/1000 are expected to fail the Miller-Rabin test. If 99% of the composites are sieved out, then the expected cost rises to cost(M-R) + cost(ECPP)/10. –  Charles Jul 27 '10 at 20:09

Today's image is Merry preparing to go to war. As always, feel free to answer any, some, or none of the questions below as you talk about this scene.
1. What did you think/feel when you first saw this image?
2. Why is Merry so eager to go off to war?
3. Do you think Theoden comes off as the concerned grandfather-figure or the harsh king here? Or some other trope entirely?
I was really glad that they left in this scene actually-- and the music at this time was awesome as well before we see the horses all gallop off. This is an excellent shot of "warrior Merry" in which we didn't see enough in the movie.
I liked this exchange and i feel the necessity that Merry feels of going off because he doesn't want to be left behind and he does feel that with all his hobbit companions going off to war. Pippin, Frodo and Sam have all gone out to the East so of course, Merry wants to too. He's a hobbit of action and a hobbit to not just hang around and do nothing.
Theoden sounded a bit too harsh because i feel like if they left more of the dialogue in from the book, it would've been better because the relationship between Merry and Theoden was strong and the movie doesn't illustrate that part but instead chose to emphasize the Eowyn and Theoden relationship. Therefore the movie departed from the book to the effect they didn't show the THeoden and Merry dynamic so that's why leaving out this dialogue for movie people didn't make so much of a difference but for bookies, and fans of Theoden and Merry,, it did make a difference of not showing the relationship.
Especially when Merry says he doesn't want to be "left behind" which is very true because he always is being left behind -another example is when Pippin goes off to war at the Black Gate and he isn't. Merry naturally wants to be part of the action and therefore with more
danger to his friends, the more involved he would want to be.

Man pleads guilty to killing brother's cat, texting him about it
CHICAGO (MCT) ---- Enraged after his older brother had an affair with his fiancee, an Illinois man killed his brother's cat, then texted him a photo of it along with the message: "This is what you did to me."
Sean Mulcahy, 31, of Homer Glen, pleaded guilty to a felony animal-cruelty charge Wednesday, telling Judge Edward Burmila he was sorry for slitting the throat of his brother's cat Lucifer in August. Will County sheriff's police found the cat in a ditch across the street from the Homer Glen home where Mulcahy lived with his brother Ryan, 33. Police also found a pool of blood in the driveway.
The Mulcahy brothers had been fighting Aug. 5 when Ryan Mulcahy received the text message with a picture of his bloodied pet around 4:50 a.m., according to court records. Police arrested Sean Mulcahy when he returned to the home about three hours later.
That same day, Ryan Mulcahy took out an order of protection against his brother Sean for himself and his 9-year-old son, writing that "based on this degree of animal cruelty I am in fear of my life and my family." The order has since expired.
Sean Mulcahy, who was drunk, first told police he killed the cat after it scratched him, said assistant state's attorney Nicole Moore. He later told police he couldn't remember what happened, court records show.
On Wednesday, Sean Mulcahy said emotions over his brother's affair led to his actions. He said they had cost him his home, a job and created "turmoil" for his parents who received "hate letters" after he was charged.
"It was definitely fueled by out-of-control emotions as well as alcohol," Sean Mulcahy told the judge. "I am deeply sorry, sir."
Prosecutors sought what amounted to a 3-month prison sentence, saying they were troubled by Sean Mulcahy's "anger and violence."
"Taking the life of an animal to get (revenge) on his brother is a severe and horrible crime," Moore said.
Sean Mulcahy's attorney Donald DeWilkins said his client had only a minor criminal record, had found another job and was seeing a counselor. He said Sean Mulcahy was only "out of control" after discovering the affair.
"He had a tragic situation and that's how he dealt with it -- (he) went out and did something very stupid," DeWilkins said.
Burmila said it was "particularly shocking someone would take out their anger in this regard," before sentencing Sean Mulcahy to 30 months of probation and 150 hours of community service. He also banned him from having a pet or possessing any weapons while on probation.
Ticked off! @ office jobs
October 28, 2013|Ticked Off!, Diversions
I'm ticked off at the person who altered the check we wrote to you. The bank already paid us back the money you stole, and we have reported you to the police. Give the money back to the bank, or we won't drop the charges. You're looking at a felony, you fool.
I'm ticked off that so many office jobs are now requiring the ability to lift 50 pounds. That's a good way to keep a lot of us out of the work force.
I'm ticked off at the guy in front of me at the grocery store who bought a generous amount of groceries with his food stamp card. Then when informed they could not accept the card for his beer he pulled out his personal credit card and paid for the beer. So let me get this straight, we taxpayers feed you and your family so you can buy beer with your money? It's called welfare fraud. Only in America! Wake up people.
I'm ticked off that coffee shops, which are designed for adults, allow women and men to bring their offspring into these establishments to run around and make noises like the brats they are.
The flip side
Thanks to an anonymous angel for picking up the dinner bill at a seafood restaurant. May good fortune come to you too for your generosity. You are in my nightly prayers.
Thanks to the gentleman who bought my coffee after overhearing it was my 23rd birthday!
Thanks to an unknown gentlemen who left roses for seven ladies eating breakfast at a Kissimmee restaurant. What a nice surprise! It made our day brighter.

The Neuroscience of Reading and Art
Paul B. Armstrong
"Literature matters," says Paul B. Armstrong, "for what it reveals about human experience, and the very different perspective of neuroscience on how the brain works is part of that story." In How Literature Plays with the Brain, Armstrong examines the parallels between certain features of literary experience and functions of the brain. His central argument is that literature plays with the brain through experiences of harmony and dissonance which set in motion oppositions that are fundamental to the neurobiology of mental functioning. These oppositions negotiate basic tensions in the operation of the brain between the drive for pattern, synthesis, and constancy and the need for flexibility, adaptability, and openness to change.
The challenge, Armstrong argues, is to account for the ability of readers to find incommensurable meanings in the same text, for example, or to take pleasure in art that is harmonious or dissonant, symmetrical or distorted, unified or discontinuous and disruptive.
