Pick of the Week
by Bruce Chadwick
He signed the Declaration of Independence, represented Virginia at the Constitutional Convention, and became America's first professor of law. With his close friend and former pupil Thomas Jefferson, who once described him as a "second father," he wrote an entire new legal code for the State of Virginia. At the age of eighty in 1806, George Wythe was loved, admired, and respected by all who knew him—all but one, that is. In I Am Murdered, celebrated historian Bruce Chadwick tells the grisly, fascinating, and often astounding tale of Wythe's murder and America's very first "trial of the century." Brimming with fascinating details of early nineteenth-century medicine, forensic science, and legal issues, this fast-moving account features compelling portraits of all major players in the case and asks penetrating questions about the many controversies that swirled around the trial.
Website of the Week
Spatulatta.com's intent is to present a fun and compelling website that will help foster a whole new generation of young cooks, not only by introducing cooking skills, but also through modeling behavior for using healthy, fresh, basic ingredients with a minimum of preprocessing. The site will encourage children to eat well, to take pride in their accomplishments in the kitchen and to understand the connection between farm and dinner table.

Shocking True Story: The Rise and Fall of Confidential, "America's Most Scandalous Scandal Magazine"
by Henry E. Scott
by Henry E. Scott
Here is the never-before-told tale of Confidential magazine, America’s first tabloid, which forever changed our notion of privacy, our image of ourselves, and the practice of journalism in America. The magazine came out every two months, was printed on pulp paper, and cost a quarter. Its pages were filled with racy stories, sex scandals, and political exposés. It offered advice about the dangers of cigarettes and advocated various medical remedies. Its circulation, at the height of its popularity, was three million. Readers loved its lurid red-and-yellow covers; its sensational stories filled with innuendo and titillating details; its articles that went far beyond most movie magazines, and told the real stories such trade publications as Variety and the Hollywood Reporter couldn't.

Sketch Swap is a fun online toy: you just draw something on the screen--cartoons, art, brainstorms, anything you'd like--and when you're finished, you hit "Submit drawing"... to receive a random drawing from someone else. Some of the sketches are pretty involved, and it's neat to see what people have managed to do with the limitations.

Couch: A Novel
by Benjamin Parzybok
by Benjamin Parzybok
In this exuberant and hilarious debut reminiscent of The Life of Pi and Then We Came to the End, an episode of furniture moving gone awry becomes an impromptu quest of self-discovery, secret histories, and unexpected revelations. Thom is a computer geek whose hacking of a certain Washington-based software giant has won him a little fame but few job prospects. Erik is a smalltime con man, a fast-talker who is never quite quick enough on his feet. Their roommate, Tree, is a confused clairvoyant whose dreams and prophecies may not be completely off base. After a freak accident floods their apartment, the three are evicted--but they have to take their couch with them. The real problem? The couch--huge and orange--won’t let them put it down. Soon the three roommates are on a cross-country trek along back roads, byways, and rail lines, heading far out of Portland and deep into one very weird corner of the American dream. (You can read a short excerpt from the novel by clicking here.)

Pick of the Week
by Yoram Bauman and Grady Klein
This book takes the dismal out of the dismal science! From the optimizing individual to game theory to price theory, The Cartoon Introduction to Economics is the most digestible, explicable, and humorous 200-page introduction to microeconomics you'll ever read. If the vertiginous economy or a dour professor's 600-page econ textbook has you desperate for a fun, factual guide to economics, reach for this book and let the authors walk you through an entire introductory microeconomics course.

Pick of the Week
German-born film director Max Ophuls's most cherished work, The Earrings of Madame de... is an emotionally profound tale of false opulence and tragic romance. When the aristocratic woman known only as Madame de (the extraordinary Danielle Darrieux) sells her earrings, unbeknownst to her husband (Charles Boyer), in order to pay personal debts, she sets off a chain reaction, the financial and carnal consequences of which can only end in despair. Ophuls adapts Louise de Vilmorin's incisive novel with virtuosic camera work so elegant and precise it’s been called the equal to that of Orson Welles.
Website of the Week
The Presidential Timeline provides a single point of access to an ever-growing selection of digitized assets from the collections of the twelve Presidential Libraries of the National Archives. Among these assets you’ll find documents, photographs, audio recordings, and video relating to the events of the presidents’ lives. The goal of the project is to make these resources readily and freely available to students, educators, and adult learners throughout the world.

Pick of the Week
by Harold Schechter
In the tradition of Mary Roach's bestselling Stiff and Jessica Mitford's classic expose The American Way of Death comes this meticulously researched, refreshingly irreverent, and lavishly illustrated look at death from acclaimed author Harold Schechter. With his trademark fearlessness and bracing sense of humor, Schechter digs deep into a wealth of sources to unearth a treasure trove of surprising facts, amusing anecdotes, practical information, and timeless wisdom about that undiscovered country to which we will all one day travel. From the cold, hard facts of death to lessons in the art of dying well, from what happens in the body’s last living moments to what transpires in the ground or in the furnace, from near-death experiences to speculation on the afterlife, The Whole Death Catalog leaves no gravestone unturned.
Website of the Week
Students.gov is an official U.S. government web site designed for college students and their families. Their mission is to provide you with easy access to information and resources from the U.S. government – all the info you need, in one place, from all parts of the government. The site links to government (and selected non-government) web sites that help you choose the right college, apply online for financial aid and scholarships, find summer internships or jobs, and much more. The links on students.gov come from suggestions made by students, parents, teachers, and others who know first-hand what information will be most helpful during the transition to life beyond high school.

Pick of the Week
by Lee Konstantinou
The United States and its Freedom Coalition allies are conducting serial invasions across the globe, including an attack on the anti-capitalist rebels of Northern California. The Middle East--now a single consumerist Caliphate led by Lebanese pop singer Caliph Fred--is in an uproar after an attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque gets televised on the Holy Land Channel. The world is on the brink of a total radioactive, no-survivors war, and humankind's last hope is Eliot R. Vanderthorpe, Jr., celebrity heir, debauched party animal, and Elvis impersonation scholar. But Eliot's got his own problems. His evangelical dad is breeding red heifers in anticipation of the Rapture. Eliot's dissertation is in the toilet. And he has a doppelganger. An evil doppelganger.
Website of the Week
CodeOrganIf there's one thing the internet excels at, it's answering questions you hadn't even thought to ask yet. Our example for this week? CodeOrgan! Have you really ever wondered what your favorite website might sound like if it were translated into music? Maybe not, but that's precisely what this website does. Just enter any URL in the space provided, hit "Play This Website," and, using a complicated algorithm, it translates the website's code into music -- or, at the very least, into something with that might be mistaken for music under certain circumstances. And as the content of the page you're playing changes, so too does the song, so that the music that the PRL Blog generates will be different next week than it is today. It's a player piano for the Twenty-first century!
