Public Programs
Reception and book signing follow
Artist Alexis Rockman recounts the making of Manifest Destiny (2004), one of his murals on view in the Wexner Center's lower lobby.
Artist Alexis Rockman creates what he describes as "history paintings about the future," and he's known for grounding his fantastic visions in fact. In this talk, he recounts the making of his Manifest Destiny, a panoramic painting that depicts the effects of global warming on the Brooklyn waterfront circa 5004.
Created in collaboration with scientists, architects, and an anthropologist—and prefiguring the imagery of such sci-fi films as The Day after Tomorrow—the mural is on view at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
You can see full-scale reproductions of Manifest Destiny and Evolution (1992), another Rockman painting, in the Wexner Center's lower lobby.

The New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD) will name the Dr. Elliott M. Moskowitz Orthodontic Wing in recognition of a $1.2 million gift from Dr. Moskowitz to help transform a 20th century clinical and research environment to reflect 21st century technology, design, and function. NYUCD has also created the Elliott M. Moskowitz Give a Smile Fund, which will build on Dr. Moskowitz's gift to secure the additional resources required to achieve this goal.
Dr. Moskowitz, an alumnus of the NYU College of Dentistry and an internationally respected orthodontist, researcher, author, and editor for over 40 years, is also a long-time faculty member of the NYU Department of Orthodontics and a distinguished alumni leader, having served both as president of the NYU Dental Alumni Association and the NYU Orthodontic Alumni Society.
According to Dr. Moskowitz, "the past several years have seen immense strides by the NYU Department of Orthodontics in education, research, and patient care, including the creation of the Consortium for Translational Orthodontic Research, or CTOR, which functions as a nucleus for the integration of basic science, clinical science, and industrial resources in the field of orthodontics. The department has also expanded the scope of its community services, which each year includes care for thousands of medically-indigent youngsters and adolescents suffering from a wide range of orthodontic conditions. Excitement and enthusiasm among faculty and alumni have never been greater; facilities, however, have not kept pace with these advances. I made my gift in order to give something meaningful back to my department; for me that means providing the seed money to build physical facilities that are commensurate with the department's increasingly visible role in the profession and the community."
Dr. Charles N. Bertolami, Dean of the NYU College of Dentistry said, "Dr. Moskowitz's great generosity testifies both to his extraordinary devotion to his alma mater and the future of his specialty area and to his sense of giving something back as an integral part of contributing to society. We are honored to name the Elliott M. Moskowitz Orthodontic Wing in recognition of his thoughtful and generous gift and hopeful that others will join him in ensuring the ability of the NYU Department of Orthodontics to continue to fulfill its leadership potential."
For more information on the Elliott M. Moskowitz Give a Smile Fund, please call 212.998.9920.

Legal or not? To make sure the dove field you have or that you hunt is legal, check out the online brochure "Dove Hunting and Agricultural Practices in Georgia," available at www.georgiawildlife.com/hunting/dovebrochure .
Baiting is the illegal practice of intentionally luring doves to a field by placing grain or feed. Federal and state laws prohibit hunting migratory game birds over such areas.
"The key to hunting doves legally in Georgia is to understand the difference between 'baiting' and 'recommended agricultural practices,'" says Col. Eddie Henderson, Wildlife Resources Division Chief of Law Enforcement. "Hunters need to make sure that the fields they are hunting over have been prepared in a manner consistent with official agricultural recommendations relative to planting dates, planting methods and rates of application."
The brochure explains the legalities of dove fields, provides strategies for legally attracting doves, answers common questions and contains additional information for dove hunters.
Designed by the Wildlife Resources Division in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service, the brochure is available on the Wildlife Resources Divisions website at www.georgiawildlife.com/hunting/dovebrochure .

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
1) Evaluate blueberry plant growth, yield, and quality in various certified-organic production systems in two popular fresh-market cultivars;.2)determine the effect of raised beds on soil and plant water status and plant growth, and production;.3)evaluate and continue to develop organic weed management systems in producing blueberries; and.4)develop and evaluate organic fertilizer treatments to optimize plant growth, production, and quality.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Treatments being assessed include planting on raised beds or flat ground, various weed management treatments including weed mat, organic fertilization type and rate, and cultivar. We will collect information on not only the effectiveness of the treatments such as weed mat, sawdust and compost mulches and use of vinegar for weed control on flat ground and raised beds and organic fertilizers and how they interact with sawdust mulch and weed mat, but also the cost effectiveness. We will measure plant growth, yield, fruit quality, weed pressure, soil water status, plant water status, plant tissue and soil nutrient concentration, and organic fertilizer availability. We will make observations on any other pest problems and control them to the best of our ability using organically approved methods. We feel that this study will provide growers with very useful information on the long-term impacts and costs of various organic blueberry production systems during fruiting years.

In the early stages of labor, contractions will last about thirty seconds, building up to ninety seconds or even longer at the end of the first stage. You may also feel the following:
What should you do?
Use a sanitary napkin (keep one handy at work and in your car) to catch the flow, and call your doctor, birth attendant, and/or labor coach. Alert your doctor, birth attendant, and/or labor coach that you're ready to go to the hospital because there is always a risk of infection even when contractions are not present.
What should you do?
Wait until regularly spaced pains begin in your abdomen or back (indicating a back labor), or your water breaks, before calling your doctor or midwife.
What should you do?
Ask a nearby coworker to help you time regular contractions (once every fifteen to twenty minutes) jotting down the time each one begins and ends. Follow your physicians directions for when to call him or herprobably when your contractions are ten minutes apart and last forty seconds or more. If you wont have time to go home first, or have your designated driver meet you at work because you're actively in labor, notify your boss that your labor has begun, and ask a close coworker to drive you directly to the hospital.

Unforgettable nickname, unforgettable career
FALLS VILLAGE -- The 'Bain Train'. One of the best high school football nicknames lives on, a decade after it was all the rage in the Northwest Corner.
"Some thought it was clever, and we all kind of took to it," said former Housatonic head coach Mike DeMazza. Who thought it was clever? "I think it was me," mused DeMazza.
Even after all of these years, Housatonic Valley Regional High football standout Ben Bain still gets a kick out of it.
"When I was playing, occasionally I would hear the chants and fans whistling the Bain Train," said Bain, who rushed his way to 2,281 rushing yards in the 2003 season and into the record books. That single-season mark is still ranked 14th all-time in state football history, and remains a legendary achievement in local football circles.
While Bain admits that his past performances were nice, all that is definitely in the rearview mirror.
"I don't relive the past glory too much," he said. "People still make the connection, but I never talk about it and try to avoid the topic. But I realize that it is still very cool."
What Bain likes to talk about is the lessons football taught him, many of which have lasted well beyond his high school graduation in 2004.
"High school football taught me so much, about having a good work ethic and a general attitude toward authority and being coachable and not just in sports, but in the real world," said Bain. "I believe this 100 percent that without football, I wouldn't have the work ethic or drive necessary to help me in my future."
It all began just before the summer of his sophomore year when coach Mike Guy, the predecessor to DeMazza, inspired Bain.
"Mike Guy got me into the weight room and got me motivated," said Bain, who fluctuated between 230 pounds and 245 pounds throughout high school. "I worked out like everyone else three days a week and things started changing and I realized that the work I was putting in actually was working."
Guy said that Bain was simply working his way up the ladder to success.
"There was something about Ben early on that showed that he had talent," said Guy. "He was just a nice young man and whatever success he had, I never thought it went to his head."
As a junior, Bain's overall abilities took off, rushing for a shade under 1,000 yards, setting the tone for a most memorable senior year. Bain said he is indebted to Guy, DeMazza, former assistants AJ LaPlante and Tom Moore and current Housy-Wamogo head coach Deron Bayer.
Despite the fact that Bain was strong and fit, he did feel the pain after games in which he had carried the ball between 30 and 35 times.
"I would take a lot of ice baths," said Bain. "My legs would cramp up on long bus trips. It could be brutal at times. I loved the feeling after games if we won, but I was absolutely and completely spent almost at the end of the game. But I knew that I did my job and gave it everything that I had."
In his final game as a senior, Bain literally did everything that he could to leave Housatonic with no regrets and send the seniors out with a lasting memory.
In the 2003 Berkshire Bowl at Van Why Field in Winsted, Bain rushed for 320 yards on 41 carries in a 36-21 win over Gilbert School.
With Gilbert driving for a score midway through the fourth quarter and Housy clinging to a 24-21 lead, Bain sacked Yellowjackets' QB Kurt Lillie and later in the possession picked off a pass. That led to Bain's 53-yard touchdown run with 5:40 left to seal the win.
"I am so proud of my teammates," said Bain. "We suffered ups and downs but we went out as seniors with no regrets. We had a blast, a very good time. I know we have a reunion coming up and it will be great to get together with everyone."

Meaghan Bain wrote on Oct 23, 2013 12:25 PM:
" Great article! Ben was a great football player and I had so much fun watching his games. It's great to see him picked for this Red Zone hall of fame list because he was not only a great football player he is an amazing person. He has always had a big heart and never let the fame go to his head. He was always very humble and the first one to say that he could have never played the way he did without his line. I was honored to be his girlfriend then and proud to be his wife now. "
Mark Jaffee wrote on Oct 23, 2013 7:02 PM:
" Meaghan,
Thanks for writing. It was a real pleasure talking to and writing about Ben again and all of his past glory. We should never forget the good days that bring smiles and happiness to so many. "
Frank casner wrote on Jan 24, 2014 7:07 PM:
" I had the pleasure of playing football with Ben at Housy. He was the best teammate you could ever have. I remember one touchdown where it was 4th and goal. We had tried to run it the first three plays seeing as we only had two yards to go. When the formation I was in on offense( monster!) was sent in on 4th to get the touchdown, I grabbed Bain by the helmet and told him to just right behind me and we will be in. I remember blocking two kids at once and then the feeling of cleats going up my legs and back and then being trampled. Ben literally ran the pile of guys over. Good times "

Parent Loans | Graduate Loans | Federal Perkins Loan
Alternative Student Loans | Managing Loan Debt | Avoid Default
For new federal student loan borrowers, effective July 1, 2013 there will be a limit on the maximum period of time that students can receive Direct Subsidized Loans based on program length.
Students that exceed 150% of their program length will no longer be eligible to receive subsidized loan funds. For more information regarding the new regulation, please reference the Time Limitation on Direct Subsidized Loan Eligibility for First-Time Borrowers handout .
Direct Loan Interest Rates and Fees can be found here.
Federal Direct Loan Program
Student Loans are available to both undergraduate and graduate students. A student must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance counseling before receiving a Federal Direct Loan. Information about interest rates and fees can be found by clicking here.
Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan If you are eligible for a Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan, the federal government pays your interest while you're in school at least half-time and for some loans, during grace periods and periods of deferment. You must have "need", as defined by the federal government, to qualify for the subsidized loan.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan These loans are available to students who do not qualify for "need" based Federal Direct Subsidized Loans or who are not eligible for the full Federal Direct Subsidized Loan amount. The amount of the loan cannot be more than the difference between the cost of attendance (COA) and any financial assistance you will receive from the school and any outside source (including the subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan). Interest accrues on the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan while you are in school and during the six-month grace period before repayment begins.
Additional Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Additional Direct Unsubsidized Loans may be available for independent students, and for dependent students whose parents do not pass a credit check and therefore are unable to borrow under the Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) Program.
Entrance & Exit Loan Counseling If you decide to accept a loan, you are making a commitment to repay it. Loan counseling is required by SOU's Financial Aid Office to help you understand your loan obligations. Students receiving the Federal Direct Loan for the first time at SOU must complete an online entrance loan counseling session at www.studentloans.gov. When a student departs SOU, they must complete exit counseling at www.studentloans.gov (this is only for federal loans, not private loans).
Parent Loans
Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students This loan is available to parents of dependent undergraduate students. The interest rate is fixed at 6.41%. Repayment begins within 60 days after the final disbursement of that loan's academic period. The borrower is charged a 4.20% origination fee. Parents have the option to defer payment while their student is enrolled in at least half time status; however, interest will continue to accrue. The loan maximum cannot exceed the total cost of attendance (budget) minus any other financial aid received (including any Subsidized, Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans the student is receiving).
Estimated PLUS loans will be included in the financial aid award for eligible dependent students. To be eligible for the direct PLUS loan, a parent will be required to complete the parent PLUS Loan application and Master Promissory Note (MPN) online at www.studentloans.gov. The application cannot be completed more than 90 days prior to the disbursement of the loan or the credit check will need to be repeated. Because of this, applications for each new school year (fall term) will become available online on or after July 1. Parents will be notified directly by the Direct Loan servicer if they are eligible to receive the PLUS loan. If the parent does not pass the credit check and the PLUS loan is denied, the credit check may be challenged, additional information and documentation may be provided or an endorser may sign for the loan with the parent.
If the parent decides not to pursue the denied PLUS loan, the student may request an additional unsubsidized loan. Prior to that additional loan being awarded, the parent must notify Southern Oregon University in writing that they no longer wish to continue the application process for the PLUS loan.
Graduate Loans
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans Available to students admitted and enrolled in a graduate program that have eligibility for additional funding after receiving Federal Direct loans and any other financial assistance. The interest rate is fixed at 6.41%. Repayment begins within 60 days after the final disbursement of that loan's academic period. The borrower is charged a 4.20% origination fee. The loan maximum cannot exceed the total cost of attendance (budget) minus any other financial aid received (including any Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans the student is receiving).
To apply for the Graduate PLUS loan, the graduate student will need to complete the Graduate PLUS loan application (includes a credit check), Master Promissory Note (MPN) and a special Graduate PLUS Loan counseling session online at www.studentloans.gov. Applicants will be notified directly by the Direct Loan servicer if they are eligible to receive the PLUS loan. If the applicant does not pass the credit check and the Graduate PLUS loan is denied, the credit check may be challenged, additional information and documentation may be provided or an endorser may sign for the loan with the applicant.
Federal Perkins Loan
The Perkins Loan is a 5% deferred interest loan based on financial need. Funds come from the federal government and Southern Oregon University is the lender. Perkins Loan is available to both undergraduates and graduates. By federal law, undergraduates may borrow up to $5,500 per academic year, and graduates up to $8,000. Cumulative maximums are $27,500 for undergraduates and $60,000 for graduates. First priority is given to early FAFSA filers with high financial need.
These funds must be repaid. When borrowers leave SOU or drop below six credit hours they must complete Exit Counseling for the Perkins Loan. Borrowers have a nine-month grace period on the loan after they leave school, and interest does not accrue during this grace period. There are no origination fees when the loan is disbursed.
It is the borrower's obligation to keep the lender (Southern Oregon University) informed about changes in his or her status. Changes to a borrower's name, address, phone number, or Social Security Number must be reported immediately by contacting the Long Term Loan Office or logging into My Account on the ECSI website and changing the demographic information.
For additional information about the Perkins loans, see the following:
Alternative Student Loans from Private Lenders
Alternative or private loans are privately funded, generally provided by commercial lenders, and eligibility is not based on financial need. However, the amount borrowed cannot exceed the cost of education minus all other financial aid. Interest rates and repayment terms vary but are generally less favorable than those provided through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Private loans are based on a student's credit worthiness, (and co-signer, if applicable) and used to supplement the federal and state financial aid.
Important things to consider when selecting the right lender and private loan for you:
- Understand the ultimate cost of the loan over its lifetime. Compare annual percentage rates (APR) vs. interest rates and fees to determine the real cost of the loan. Find out how long you have to pay it off.
- Be aware of what the monthly payments will be upon graduation or leaving school and how that will affect your lifestyle after college.
- Find out what the "borrower benefits" really mean to you. How is each benefit achieved and how are they kept throughout repayment. What happens if you miss an "on time" payment?
- Find out if the lender sells student loans. If your loan is sold, will any repayment incentives be honored by the purchasing lender?
- Are there forbearance or deferment options? Understand what additional cost these may have for you.
- How does the lender capitalize interest? (i.e. once when repayment begins or quarterly)
- Notify your lender of any change in address, name or repayment problems. Lack of communication is one of the first steps toward delinquency.
- Borrowers should always explore federal loan options first; private student loans and/or alternative educational loans may have higher interest rates and fees.
- Be aware that a credit-worthy co-signer may be required. Understand co-signer release options upon repayment.
- SOU does not have preferred lenders and students may borrow from the lender of their choice. A list of some popular lenders is provided by FASTChoice.org
Managing Student Loan Debt
The following links are intended to assist and direct you in the management of your Student Loan Debt. Please make sure your billing address is up-to-date for all entities providing you loans so you receive important notifications in a timely manner. The direct loans servicing agents are there to help the student borrower.
Avoid Default
If you fail to make a payment on time, you are considered delinquent on your loans. If you do not make payments after a period of time (270 days for Direct Loans) you are considered to be in default.
We would like to help you avoid this situation.. If you're having trouble repaying your loans, you must contact your direct loan servicer. If you do not know which servicer you can find the information at www.nslds.ed.gov. The servicer will explain your options and what program best fits your personal situation
There are some things you should consider to help prevent going into default on your loans:
- Borrow as little as possible
- Understand your options and responsibilities with regard to your loans.
- Keep a list of all your loans, including the lender, type of loan, amount of loan, and the interest rate.
- Notify your lender promptly if you change your name, address, or return to school.
- Contact your loan servicer if you are unable to make your loan payments; you cannot receive a loan deferment or forbearance once your loan is in default.
- Consider a consolidation loan to combine all your educational loans into one loan. This might allow you to extend the term of the loan to reduce your monthly payment.
Being in default on your federal student loans has severe and long-lasting consequences, including the following:
- The U.S. Department of Education can immediately demand repayment of the total amount due on the loan.
- The U.S. Department of Education will attempt to collect the debt and may charge you for the costs of collecting.
- The default will be reported to national credit bureaus. Your credit rating will be damaged, which will make it more difficult for you to make purchases such as a car or house.
- You are ineligible for further Title IV student aid.
- You are ineligible for deferments.
- The Internal Revenue Service can withhold your federal income tax refund.
- Your wages may be garnished.

CADIZ A group of emotional area residents were in attendance to offer their support for the former Harrison County dog warden at the commissioners' meeting Wednesday morning.
Several spokespersons offered their continuing support for Tina DeWalt and voiced questions and complaints about the handling of the issue by board members.
Board chairman Don Bethel announced that after reviewing 22 applications, the decision had been made to hire John Birney and Jeff Campbell to fill the two part-time posts.
Bethel thanked all of the applicants and stated that, after consultation with the Harrison County Sheriff's Department and careful review of applicants to insure they met the two most important criteria set forth by the board, a difficult decision had been reached.
"It is going to be a team effort, and we felt it was essential that the two new part-time wardens would be compatible," Bethel stated. "This is not about the current dog warden. It is about better serving the public, and we felt this move was in the best interest of the county.
"We do want to thank Ms. DeWalt for her past service. We know her heart was in the right place," Bethel added. "She was considered for the second position, but we felt that there was a potential for conflict, and again, this has to be a compatible partner for the first warden."
Addressing questions from Sandra Manbeck, Bethel speaking on behalf of all three commissioners explained that the dog wardens will be sharing the single vehicle and would be utilizing a tranquilizer gun in an effort to humanely deal with certain calls and therefore would be required to have weapons certification.
Bethel also added that the requirement for crisis management was important to avoid escalating what are often emotional and potentially volatile situations.
Manbeck asked if the county intended to return to the 72-hour policy for dogs in the pound. "Absolutely not. We are not placing any limit on the time, and we're going to continue to try and get every dog adopted.
"There is no intention of putting any dog down," Bethel cautioned. "However that is part of the equation. It is unfortunate, and I do not want to think in those negative terms. I can assure you that we will continue to welcome volunteers and their help in making every effort to adopt every dog."
Dog pound volunteer Beth Roski spoke, stating that she donates her time to help care for the animals in the pound. "I have brought supplies to the pound each Friday, supplying the pound with all the cleaning supplies, all new bowls and rawhide bones."
Roski said it has taken upwards of 3 months to adopt dogs at the pound, asking for assurances that the policy will not change.
Bethel thanked her for her support and addressed allegations that the board had not met with DeWalt concerning the changes.
Bethel stated that it would be the wrong forum to discuss the personnel issues and again assured Roski that the board had met on several occasions with DeWalt prior to taking action.
"You are trying to make this about the dog warden, but I feel this is about better serving the public. I am not saying all the issues were about performance; there were other issues that I do not feel are appropriate to talk about in public."
Bethel also told the group that they were not against turning the pound into a shelter but the funding would have to come from the public. "We welcome any proposals and will consider them if funding is made available."
The supporters of DeWalt questioned as to when the decision had been made to "get rid" of the current dog warden.
Joyce Klingler, agent for the Harrison County Concerned Citizens Organization, spoke in defense of the board. "I regularly attend these meetings and keep up with the news in the county through social media, and two weeks ago, when they announced their plans during the meeting, was the first time I had heard of the proposal.
"I do not feel that there was a plot to get rid of the dog catcher. I don't feel these three gentleman would do that." Klingler added. "They are men of integrity, and I do not feel they would do that."
The new wardens will start at their new posts today and will seek assistance from bordering counties for training.
"It is our understanding that the assistant dog warden has found other employment," Bethel informed. "We had never intended for the assistant to be replaced, and we will address that vacancy when official notification is given."
Scott Blackburn of the Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services told the board that long-time employee Ed Jackson had retired effective Dec. 28 and that his agency would be filling the vacant position internally and would review the personnel in the department after the shift to determine of any new hiring would take place.
The board approved a road use agreement presented by Doug Crabtree representing the Engineer's office. Agreement 2-13 with Hess Ohio Development LLC for 0.5 miles of CR 38 to allow access the Cadiz B well site.
Chris Jacobs, director of the Carroll-Columbiana-Harrison Solid Waste District, announced to the board that starting on Feb. 1, there will be some new changes to recycling in Harrison County.
The district is converting most of the recycling containers from the existing large "roll-off" containers to smaller recycling containers that will be emptied on a regular schedule. Most drop-off recycling sites in Harrison County will be getting several of the new recycling containers. These new containers have two large lids on the top of the container and smaller sliding doors on both sides of the container. The sliding doors on the sides of the container are easy to reach from the ground and are easy to open. Freeport and New Athens will continue to have the existing larger containers.
"This change will help us make sure that there is room in the containers when you go to recycle and also allow us to be more efficient," says Jacobs. "Right now, we have to check the roll-offs every week and schedule them to be switched when they're full. With the new containers, they will be emptied on a set day every week.
"In addition to the new containers, all the recyclables can be mixed together in the same container after Feb. 1. This means that you can mix your paper products with your cans and bottles, for example," says Jacobs. "You won't need to separate your recyclables anymore."
The district's contractor will be labeling all the containers with new labels showing the materials that can be put in the recycling containers. The new labels include pictures of the acceptable materials to make it easier to understand what can go in the bin. The contractor installed an automated recycling facility that can separate cans and plastic containers by material. There is still some hand-sorting of paper products like cardboard and newspaper.
The district would also like to remind residents to break down (flatten) boxes before recycling them in the container. "When boxes are not flattened, the containers get full very quickly," says Jacobs. "Even with the new containers, we don't want to have them overflowing because boxes aren't flattened. All it takes is about 10 unflattened boxes to fill a container to the point where no one else can use it."

As we age our body's tend to deteriorate, to combat this effect we try to eat properly and get plenty of exercise along with supplements to compensate for the nutrients we fail to get in our regular diets. The same thing is true of our brain, it also requires proper nutrition and exercise along with supplements to improve memory and focus that a lot of people are either unaware of, or even worse, know about it but choose to ignore it. These types of supplements for brain health are very good at improving the brain's memory, focus, concentration, creative thinking as well as other improvements to the brain's cognitive abilities. So if you are looking for supplements to improve memory, click here.
Supplements to Improve Memory
There are many things that can cause memory loss in addition to the aging process. Listed below are some of the more common causes.
Improper Nutrition
Just as with our body, the brain requires proper nutrition whether we get that nutrition from the foods we eat or by taking supplements for the brain in order to ensure getting all of the necessary nutrients the brain requires to perform at its best, many of which we fail to consume in our daily diets. Quality fats and proteins are important for proper brain functionality. Vitamin deficiencies, particularly vitamins B12 and B1 are a common contributing factor to memory problems.
Insufficient Sleep
Good, quality, restful sleep is very important to the brain and it effects on not only memory, but pretty much all cognitive attributes of the human brain rely on sleep. Have you ever gone a really long time without sleep? At some point, 36 hours or so, you actually begin to hallucinate! But not only lack of sleep but the quality of your sleep is important as well. If you wake up often, toss and turn, that sort of thing, you are not getting quality sleep and your memory will suffer from it.
Alcohol Abuse
Obviously, consistently consuming alcohol or other drugs is not doing any part of the body any good but it is commonly known that alcohol has a significant impact on memory function.
Smoking is bad for the memory because it inhibits the level of oxygen getting to the brain. Like alcohol, smoking is also well recognized as being harmful to the memory.
Strokes are caused by a blockage that greatly reduces or stops the flow of blood to the brain. It can also be brought on by a blood vessel that is leaking onto the brain itself. Strokes can have devastating effects on the body and brain in particular.
Head Trauma
A childhood bicycle or skateboarding accident, recent car crash, or any type of trauma to the head has been associated with memory loss and even amnesia in rare cases. Typically, the memory improves considerably over time.
Prescription Medications
Many prescription medications and even some over the counter drugs and supplements can affect the memory. Most notable are medications used for depression, anxiety, insomnia, tranquilizers and certain post-surgery medications.
Stress, Depression and Anxiety
This type of stuff can be quite harmful to memory, focus, concentration as well as a host of other brain functions. If you are depressed and stressed out, you are not able to focus on anything except your problems and medications for these conditions also corrupt memory.
So, If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with memory loss or other cognitive abilities, it would certainly help to begin using one of the many supplements to improve memory and overall brain health.

I'm not familiar with either word, but just looking at the characters, 達人 would seem to indicate 'accomplished' (ie an accomplished pianist). While 名人 seems more like 'renowned'. Is that a valid assessment?

Consider the following:

And in Chinese,
I would say your assessment is a reasonable one.
Both 達人 and 名人 are usually associated with skills in Japanese.
達人 means a person who has mastered everything about something by long-time experience.
名人 usually means a person who has excellent skills. Daijisen also lists another meaning "評判の高い人" (person who is spoken well of), but I think that the usage without connotation with high skills is rare. Daijirin does not state the latter meaning.

I feel like now that USB 3.0 is out, calling USB 2.0 devices "high-speed" is false advertisement. Buyer be warned, if you have a computer which supports USB 3.0 and a USB 3.0-compliant device, it will not run at maximum speed using this adapter.
@thefennec: Yes, buyers should be aware that the official term for USB 2.0 is "High Speed", and the correct term for USB 3.0 is "Super Speed".
USB 2.0 devices will always be called "high speed". If you want the faster transfer rate of USB 3.0, be sure your computer spec and also the device are labeled "Super Speed".

Critique this resume!
Hi Game professionals,
I've built my resume and would very much appreciate some feedback. Please do not try to spare my feelings, be brutally honest to your heart's content. In short, I have 2 years of game development experience (one released title) plus B.S. in Computer Science and am now looking for a new job (yes, in this economy), preferably as a Game Programmer.
I have been applying for jobs for about 2 months now and so far have only had one phone interview and a couple of follow-up requests for more information (such as filling out questionnaires). In other words, a very lukewarm response from game companies. I am blaming it on the poor economy (we all have our excuses) and perhaps my resume and cover letters.
So this is the old resume I had been using up until now, the one that didn't yield good results. I have recently created a brand new resume, over here, which is one page long, compared to the 3 pages length of the old one, and much more streamlined and focused on the skills that I think are relevant to my target position of Game Programmer.
I included both old and the new resume so you can see for your self what I've cut out. Perhaps some of the stuff I took out really needs to be in the new resume as well.
So what do you guys think? Be brutally honest, give me any and all constructive criticism you think might improve my (new) resume.
Hey lougv22,
You're sorta in the same boat as me w/ 2 years of game programming experience, but I had 2 released titles :D I probably shouldn't be helping you because you're my competition, but I enjoy helping people too much to resist. Anyways, your shortened resume is a step in the right direction (I always hear keep your resume on 1 page at GDC '09). I believe someone mentioned in these forums somewhere that a summary is now the in thing to do instead of an objective (found the thread: http://www.gamecareerguide.com/forum...ead.php?t=2456). You could also use a gameography section instead of embedding the titles within the company, so it stands out more. A reference section would be nice to have as well (maybe put upon request if you want to keep it private). If you can't fit all this, use a smaller font (that's what they tell me at GDC '09). The format of your resume could use some work too because it looks like a big wall of text at first glance (maybe seperation of the different sections in one column and your data in another).
I see that you started in IT before making the transition, which I can relate to. It's definitely a hard time right now to find a job in the games industry because of the economy. I've been looking for about 8 or 9 months and I've gone through a similar experience as you, but with only a handful of phone interviews. From my experience so far, it seems that game studios are mostly looking for senior programmers because they're either at the start of their projects or the end. They need someone that can jump right in and do stuff w/o any mentoring, which is understandable. I suggest that you keep yourself busy by working in the indie or mod scene while things pick up again in the games industry. There's a couple of positions popping up here and there, which fit us junior/mid level candidates, so I believe it's going to get better (I'm a pretty optimistic guy though :)). Goodluck with your job search!
Remove the objective, it is pretty obvious what you want to do when it says "Game Programmer" as your main title.
I am surprised you don't have a skills section listing the languages you know and the tools you mainly are familiar with.
In your portfolio, more information on what you did in each game would be nice.
You game review cover shots under Game stuff are stretched incorrectly.
While I'm not a professional I think a separate Skills section before your work experience that states the tools, software, scripts/languages etc you have experience using will make it much easier for employers to see your skills straight away instead of having them nested in your Experience section.
I would also advise you change your Objective line into a summary statement e.g. a game programmer with 2 years experience in the industry and 2 published titles. Highly experienced in gameplay and GUI programming (or whatever).
As Yaustar stated the words 'Game Programmer' after your personal details sort of suggests you are looking for a game programming job so remove the objective line or those words.
I would also include a small section for references at the end, even if you only state 'Available on request' this is better than nothing.
Oh and you've spelt Languages as 'Langauges'
The Tools/Languages/Skills section has been a high point of contention. I have been advised by a hiring manager to get rid of it. As you'll notice I used to have such a section in my old resume and it didn't bring me good results (of course there is no telling what the reason was, much less if it was due to the presence of a Tools/Languages section, but still...one wonders).
Long story short, I am willing to leave it out for now and see what happens.
You live on Oklahoma -- right on man.
I'm in OKC. OU is a really sweet school man -- if you learn anything from living in Oklahoma, it's that OU is the place to be.
OK, so this is the resume I am going with right now:
I decided to go with Times New Roman 11 for the main content and 14 for the headers. That gave me more space to work with. I am going to apply for a few jobs with this one and see how it goes. Thanks to all who gave me feedback and advice. If you have more though, don't hesitate to throw it at me. This is by no means a final version (of my resume, that is).

Why can't I destroy or break blocks?
I was playing Minecraft in single-player mode today when I turned on the "Open to LAN" option. I then changed my game mode to "creative" to fly back to my house, but when I turned my game mode back to "survival", I couldn't place anything down or break any blocks!
I've tried re-downloading Minecraft but that didn't help at all. It's just me in this world, so another user couldn't have changed any settings.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Circle adopts
Relief project
The Christian Service Circle of Grace Lutheran Church, 2105 Sunset Blvd., Steubenville, held its first meeting of the season with members deciding to choose personal care kits as their Lutheran World Relief project.
The kits were assembled at the meeting and include personal hygiene items such as a large bath towel, bars of soap, a toothbrush, a comb and metal nail clippers.
When natural disaster strikes or political conflict flares, families often have little chance to gather their belongings before fleeing the danger, according to a circle news release. They arrive in a refugee camp or other place of safety, vulnerable and dirty from the travel. The personal care kits provide a necessity while also serving as a reminder of someone's care and concern for them in their plight.
The circle meets the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10 a.m.
at Scio church
Singer and guitarist Mary Ann Droll will be performing at the Scio Presbyterian Church, 101 N. Eastport St., Scio, during a concert at 3 p.m. Oct. 14.

The nondenominational group is open to all men.
"Come and see how we can better our relationship with Christ, witness to others, help our neighbors, improve our community, and build bonds of friendship with men inside and outside of our church with Christian fellowship," said Ron Boyuk, president.
For information, call (740) 264-5070.
Human life chains
set for Sunday
Nationwide, a silent protest against abortion is held annually on the first Sunday of October with citizens holding signs, standing shoulder to shoulder lining the main streets of the country's cities.

It will be held from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Those unable to stand for an hour are asked to pray "for an end to abortion and the culture of death," according to Andrews.
In Weirton, meanwhile, the Weirton Pro Life Group is organizing a Life Chain, where those participating will pray for an end to abortion from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday along Main Street.
It is a nondenominational event, and lawn chairs, umbrellas and strollers are welcome. It will take place rain or shine.
Signs will be available to participants at St. Paul Catholic Church on Main Street.
The group also is seeking volunteers to pray outside local Planned Parenthood offices in two-hour shifts as part of the 40 Days for Life initiative running through Nov. 4.
For information, contact Cindy Oliver at (304) 748-5093.

This article appears in the Fall 2011 CLINIC NEWS.
The Special Education Clinic (SEC) obtained a five-year compensatory education settlement for a now 22-year old client with severe learning and language disabilities. This is on top of two years of compensatory services the student, C, received during the negotiations process.
C was 19 when he sought the SEC's assistance in 2009. Despite years of special education services, C's reading, math and language skills fell at a first grade level. Since an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting requested by the SEC failed to resolve the situation, Clinical Law Student Jessika Lusk '10 drafted and filed a due process petition covering the district's failure to provide C with an appropriate education for 13 years. Two unsuccessful mediations followed.
At the first hearing, the parties agreed to toll the statute of limitations to try to negotiate a settlement. The district also agreed pay for independent evaluations and to provide C with intensive, individualized instruction. Meetings followed, during which C's progress was monitored and the SEC helped C obtain assistive technology services and vocational support.
Marci Kutschman '11 assumed the case in Fall 2010. C had just received his high school diploma and wanted to continue his education. Marci researched vocational programs that could build on his automotive interests and meet his learning needs. C was accepted into one such program and the district agreed to pay for one semester and continue providing daily reading tutoring. C took two courses in Spring 2011. He received a B and a C – a remarkable achievement for a young man who, two years earlier, could not read beyond a first grade level.
In July 2011, the parties entered into a settlement. The district agreed to pay for C to complete the automotive technology program, including transportation and associated fees, and provide supportive services, and C waived his right to sue for more compensatory education. The settlement was entered into a Court Order in August 2011.

I installed gnome-sushi and try to test it, but it doesn't work. I tested it by typing "sushi" into Terminal it doesn't work. I get an error message.
(sushi-start:20986): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'sushi-start' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 221 error_code 16 request_code 155 minor_code 30)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I tried it by logout and login but it doesn't work. I know that it should work with both unity and gnome-shell. I tested it from Terminal with sudo sushi and tried to preview a file in nautilus and get this error this time:
Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
I searched a lot but didn't find a solution for my problem on the net and decided to ask you.
Thanks in advance

6 Ridiculous Science Myths You Learned in Kindergarten
Right around the time we learn to start questioning the ways of this wonderful world around us, our parents start packing us onto school buses every morning, because who the hell has time for all those obnoxious questions? Let the professionals address the budding curiosity of our children; we've got America's Next Top Model to watch. Teachers are better equipped to deal with those questions anyway, right? Right!
Mostly. Teachers are people, too, and people have this nasty tendency to occasionally lob whatever untruth comes flying at them right back at somebody else like a game of bullshit ping pong. For example ...
(We've got a lot more school-issued B.S. where that came from. Buy Cracked's De-Textbook and learn why everything you know about the founding of America is a lie.)
#6. The Coriolis Effect Controls the Direction in Which Toilet Water Drains
Feng Yu/Photos.com
The Myth:
As soon as we learn that the Earth rotates on its axis, we learn all the cool effects that this has on our lives. It gives us day and night, causes the stars to move across the sky, and causes the swirly to be a completely different hairstyle in Australia than in America. That last one is because of something called the Coriolis effect, which causes toilet water to drain in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere but in a clockwise direction in the Southern one.
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com/Getty
On the equator, toilets don't flush at all. People bury their waste in the yard.
It makes sense: To the people facing down from the North, the Earth moves in a counterclockwise direction, while to the people facing up from the South, the Earth is rotating clockwise, thus causing the water in their respective hemispheres to drain in the direction of their perceived rotation.
The Reality:
The Coriolis effect is totally a thing, and it really does affect the direction in which things spin. Like this:
Say, when you and your enemy exchange grenades on a merry-go-round.
But the sharper-eyed among you might have noticed that, in the diagram above, the object was relatively big in relation to the spinning disc. And that's the trick: In order for Coriolis force to have an effect on earthly phenomena, said phenomena have to be really big. So Coriolis force affects the direction in which hurricanes and cyclones spin, seeing as how those things are massive amalgamations of murderwind, but it doesn't affect your little toilet, no matter how murderish your personal wind may be.
Imre Solt, Stockbyte/Getty Images
Even Dubai's controversial "world's largest toilet" proves immune.
When it comes to the water in your puny porcelain poop throne, Coriolis force does precisely squat. Coriolis force controls freaking weather systems; the only things controlling the direction in which your poop water drains are the shape of the toilet and exactly how badly you just clogged that bastard.
#5. Diamonds Come from Coal
Jeffrey Hamilton/Digital Vision/Getty Images
The Myth:
Everyone knows that if you want a diamond, you have three options: A) go down to your local jewelry store and overpay for it, B) get a hunk of coal, bury it deep in your backyard, and dig up your shiny fresh (and free!) diamond a short 10,000 years later, or C) make a drunken bet with Superman. That's because the two key ingredients in the recipe for diamonds are coal and immense pressure.
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Substitute corn for coal, and you get something even better.
The Reality:
Actually, although scientists can't tell you with absolute certainty what the exact source of modern diamonds are, they mostly agree on one thing: It almost certainly ain't coal.
You see, the basic building block of all diamonds is carbon, not coal. Yeah, yeah, we know coal contains buttloads of carbon, but here's the thing: Scientists have taken a close look and determined that the carbon currently found in the vast majority of diamonds is old. Like, predates-all-of-Earth's-land-plants old. And guess what the source of all of Earth's coal is? You guessed it, smart guy: plants. (Now, diamonds could theoretically be made from coal -- if a coal plant was hit by a massive asteroid or a coal transport ship sank in the ocean and got pulled between continental plates somehow -- just because it's a source of carbon, but it's extremely unlikely.)
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
And gold could come from hydrogen. But it usually doesn't.
So why are we so widely taught that diamonds are formed from coal? Possibly because the real explanation is simply too metal to be included in the curriculum. The most prominent method of formation for diamonds goes like this: They're initially formed deep in the Earth's mantle from carbon-rich rocks that suffered skull-pulverizing pressure over eons and are then delivered to the surface via motherfucking volcanic explosions. With a badass backstory like that, we're pretty sure they've been marketing diamonds to the wrong gender all these years. It's an easy mistake to fix. Think of any overwrought Ford truck commercial you've seen, swap in diamonds for that F-150, and boom: You doubled your market.
You know what says "thank you" really well, diamond industry? It starts with "d" and contains "mon," and it's not Djimon Hounsou.
#4. Dogs Can't Sweat (or They Sweat Through Their Tongues)
Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
The Myth:
Dogs pant because they can't sweat. Weird, right? For some insane reason, nature saw fit to give man's best friend precisely zero sweat glands throughout their bodies and instead doomed them to flop their fleshy food scooper at the world whenever they need to cool off. Alternatively, you may have heard that dogs do sweat, but only through their tongues ...

And they clean the sweat off using the Coriolis effect.
The Reality:
... which you might recognize as a stupid and roundabout way to say "drooling." It's true, of course, that dogs pant because it helps them cool down when they're hot -- but that doesn't mean their tongue is a giant sweat gland. Nope, all that liquid you disgustedly wipe from your ankle on a hot summer day is good ol' spit. If you see a dog with a damp nose, there's about an equal chance between that dampness being sweat and toilet water. Turns out sweat is most readily visible on a dog's sniffer or on its foot pads, because on most dogs, those are the only places not covered by fur.
Rick, on the other hand, gets damp all over.
But don't take our word for it ... ask science. Way back in 1835, after humanity had invented boredom but before we'd perfected basic fucking empathy, some crazy scientists decided to see if dogs sweat by shaving them, strapping them to a board, applying heat pads to their bodies, and injecting them with freaking adrenaline just for good measure. And it turns out that both the heat pads and the panic juice made the dogs sweat from all over their body. Interesting information, to be sure, and we hope it gives you solace in hell, 19th century scientists.
So if dogs are in fact peppered with sweat glands, why the myth that they're unable to sweat? Probably because they don't sweat for the same reason you do. Only the sweat glands on their noses and foot pads are to help them cool off -- the rest are mainly to help them maintain their savory doggy stench.

So those scientists just got a bunch of dog stink for their troubles. Ha!
And while we're on the subject of long-held zoological misconceptions ...

Little City, OK--Lavinda Tyns said she watched a raging fire destroy her family's shop off hwy 199 in little city. She said she and her husband lost more than his tools.
"He had a $1,600 welder that he had just got and it burned, a dirt bike burnt and a four wheeler" said Tyns.
Tyns said she had 8 family members over at her house located just feel away from the burning shop, she said she feels fortunate they were all able to get out before the flames reached the home.
"It was close enough that I could feel the heat as soon as I walked out the door and the flames were up in the air straight up in the air at that time' said Tyns.
Firefighters said they were able to contain the fire before it burned the majority of the home and say it threatened several structures including a grocery store.
"About ten to twelve structures were in the path of the fire" said Donnie Pruitt
Tri-city Fire Chief.
Firefighters said the fire broke out around 2 p.m. and took about an hour to control. They said the fire could be seen from miles say and that several volunteer crews helped battle the flames.
"We had tri-city out here and Madill, Kingston, and Silo fighting this fire " said Pruitt.
The fire is still under investigation but Tyns said she believes it might have been electrical.
"I bought a new college type refrigerator to put out there to keep cold water while my husband worked and I don't know if that was the cause of it " said Tyns.
Tyns said the shop was not insured but that she is glad she has the things that can't be replaced.
"We have family and we have friends and that's all a person really need to help us get through it" said Tyns.

Researchers unsure why Type 1 diabetes cases on upswing
|Marjorie Poche, who found out she had Type 1 diabetes at 57, tests her blood sugar at her home in Plano, Texas, before going out to play tennis on October 23, 2012. (Lara Solt/Dallas Morning News/MCT)
"Had I not gone to the doctor, who knows what would have happened?"
She says she was told that her untreated diabetes could have led to a coma.
"I figured my exhaustion was due to lack of fitness," she says from her home in Plano, Texas.
Her diagnosis puts her in the midst of a disturbing trend - the rise of Type 1 diabetes. Experts are struggling to comprehend the reasons, but the answers may hold the key to a new understanding and treatment of the disease.
Type 1 diabetes was thought to affect a fixed portion of the population. The increase suggests that environment or behavior may play a role. That means there may be things we can do to prevent or at least lower the risk.
About 25.8 million people in the United States have diabetes, including about 7 million whose illness is undiagnosed, according to the American Diabetes Association.
There are two types of the disease, both of which are related to the body's use of insulin, which transports sugar from the blood into cells.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form. With Type 2, the body does not produce enough insulin, or the cells fail to use the hormone efficiently. Being overweight has long been known as a risk factor, and the disease, which used to be associated primarily with older patients, now increasingly strikes younger ones as well.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder that affects about 5 percent of those with diabetes. With Type 1, the immune system destroys the pancreas's ability to generate insulin.
While it used to be associated primarily with younger patients, about half of the cases are diagnosed for the first time at age 20 and older.
A recent study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health says that Type 1 is rising. The study looked at data from 20,000 children over an eight-year period that ended in 2009. During that time, the annual rate of Type 1 cases for youths older than 10 jumped from 18.6 per 100,000 to 19.7 per 100,000. Non-Hispanic white youths had the highest rate of new cases.
Dr. Kathryn Sumpter, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and medical director of the diabetes program at Children's Medical Center, says that in many ways, the increase in Type 1 helps correct common misconceptions about the disease and offers new ways of understanding it.
While we once used the terms juvenile diabetes to refer to Type 1 and adult-onset diabetes to refer to Type 2, she says, now we know that each type can occur at a wide variety of ages. She was 20 when she learned she had Type 1.
"We're learning that the distinctions between Type 1 and Type 2 are not as black and white as we thought they were," she says. "There are some differences, but the brick walls we built before in terms of one being totally autoimmune and the other totally about lifestyle factors aren't as physiologically relevant. We have some patients where we can't decide if it's Type 1 or Type 2."
Still, it may be worth examining why some older patients manifest Type 1 differently than young people do, says Dr. Priscilla Hollander, Poché's doctor and medical director for diabetes for the Baylor Health Care System.
"Many people may have the antibodies that attack the insulin-producing cells in their blood years before the disease strikes," she says. "The question is, what triggers this cascade of aggressiveness?"
The search has led experts to explore a possible connection with another medical mystery - the overall increase in autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, celiac disease and thyroid disorder, particularly because patients with one autoimmune disorder are more likely to also have other autoimmune disorders.
Sumpter and Hollander cite two theories for explaining the increase in Type 1 as gaining traction in the field.
The accelerator hypothesis suggests a link between obesity, once thought to be a factor only in Type 2 diabetes, and Type 1. In the case of Type 1, the thinking goes, the excess weight may lead to inflammation and stress on the cells, which could trigger the autoimmune response.
The hygiene hypothesis puts the blame on an exposure to fewer bacteria and viruses in our increasingly well-scrubbed lives. The hypothesis suggests that change may cause our autoimmune systems to overreact and go after cells that are not only not a threat but serving vital functions in the body. The hypothesis has also been linked to the rise in asthma and allergy cases.
Other theories finger pollution and toxins in the environment as culprits. Additional studies offer conflicting data about a vitamin D deficiency or a too-early introduction of cow's milk or gluten into a baby's diet. Sumpter says she welcomes all these ideas because they're getting people thinking of Type 1 in fresh ways that could lead to new cures.
"Intellectually, it's an exciting time for doctors and patients," she says. "I think we're getting closer to clues that can help us reduce the risk of developing diabetes and can lead to much better treatment for Type 1 and Type 2 and potentially even a cure for Type 1."
Poché says she makes coffee when she gets up in the morning, checks her blood sugar and watches her diet. She checks her blood sugar before playing tennis, as she's learned that exercise can cause her blood sugar to drop.
"I'm still very active, and I've lost 20 pounds," she says. "I look and feel pretty darn good now."

If temperature makes particles vibrate faster, and movement is limited by the speed of light, then temperature must be limited as well I would assume. Why there is no limits?
I think the problem here is that you're being vague about the limits Special Relativity impose. Let's get this clarified by being a bit more precise.
The velocity of any particle is of course limited by the speed of light c. However, the theory of Special Relativity does not imply any limit on energy. In fact, as energy of a massive particle tends towards infinity, its velocity tends toward the speed of light. Specifically,
$$E = \text{rest mass energy} + \text{kinetic energy} = \gamma mc^2$$
where $\gamma = 1/\sqrt{1-(u/c)^2}$. Clearly, for any energy and thus any gamma, $u$ is still bounded from above by $c$.
We know that microscopic (internal) energy relates to macroscopic temperature by a constant factor (on the order of the Boltzmann constant), hence temperature of particles, like energy, has no real limit.
There is an absolute maximum temperature, and it is $0^{-}$. :)
Okay, that sounds silly, but look it up in L&L: Statistical Physics I.
Think about an Ising paramagnet in an external field: At "zero" temperature (or actually $0^{+}$) the free energy of a system will be minimized by a unique minimum energy configuration. As we raise the temperature, the number of microstates with slightly higher energy grows rapidly, so we have a lower free energy in these entropically favorable configurations. Now we continue all the way to infinite temperature, at which point the system becomes completely disordered.
But wait, what if we drive the system to even higher energy? In that case there are fewer microstates and so the derivative that defines temperature goes negative, and the temperature that corresponds to these configurations is $-\infty$. This actually corresponds to the principle of "population inversion" in lasers. Anyway, higher and higher energy configurations (with their continually decreasing entropy) correspond to decreasing negative temperatures, until all of the spins point against the external field at $T=0^-$.
The speed of light is an upper limit for the speed of a massive object, but there is no upper bound on the kinetic energy of an object. In fact, that's why the speed of light is an upper limit (one of many reasons, anyway)-- an object moving at the speed of light would have infinite kinetic energy.
The temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a sample. Since kinetic energy does not have an upper limit, temperature does not have an absolute maximum.
(In equations, the kinetic energy is: $K=(\gamma - 1)mc^2 = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}-1)mc^2$ which becomes infinitely large as v gets very close to the speed of light c.)
If there is a maximum possible physical temperature it is well above anything we can reach experimentally and would require a complete theory of quantum gravity to understand it fully.
Neutron stars are some of the hottest objects in the universe today with temperatures up to around 10 trillion degrees Kelvin ($10^{12} K$). Similar temperatures have been reached in heavy ion collisions recently at the Large Hadron Collider for very small volumes and times. At these temperatures even the protons and neutrons in nuclear matter are torn apart leaving just a plasma of quarks and glouns.
But these temperatures are cool compared to the earliest moments of the big bang. According to our incomplete theories something really odd happens when you get to the Planck temperature which is around $10^{32} K$, so a good 20 orders of magnitude higher than anything we can produce.
At such temperature spacetime itself must be highly energised by gravitational interactions with hot matter. Some people think that spacetime passes through some kind of phase transition at this point, but if it does we have very little understanding of what kind of phase state lies beyond or whether temperatures can be raised further. Such understanding is in the realm of quantum gravity which is not yet fully developed. Such physics may describe the very earliest moments of the big bang and perhaps nowhere else in the universe.
While special relativity does not, a priori, place any constraints on the maximum temperature a system can attain, the situation changes when we consider the quark-gluon plasma - a stage you will eventually reach if you heat up any hadronic matter sufficiently. Rolf Hagedorn realized that for hadronic matter there exists a maximum temperature above which the partition function of the system is not well-defined. In other words you can only heat up hadronic matter to a maximum given by the Hagedorn temperature $T_H$.
Since hadronic-matter constitutes the vast majority of the matter we interact with (excluding dark matter and dark energy), in some sense $T_H$ is the maximum temperature that ordinary matter can attain, though this is by no means the end of the story ...
Of course, even with special relativity alone, one can see that when the temperature of a gas of particles becomes comparable to the rest energy of the particles in question, any attempt to increase the temperature beyond that point will only lead to pair creation. This was, vaguely speaking, the reasoning behind Hagedorn's work.
You might also find this Nova column on the Hagedorn phase enlightening.
We have two reasons for there not being a limit. As everyother commenter here has said, SR does not limit the energy per particle. Actually energy per degree of freedom would be a more precise statement. In any case temperature does not equate directly to the energy per particle DOF, but rather to the staistical probabilities, namely that the relative probabilities of a particular state being occupied is proportional to e(- deltaE/kT ). (Even that only applies to the low density limit, fermions are limited to one particle per allowable state, so in some high density low temperature limits (solid state, and degenerate state (some stellar interiors, white dwarfs etc.)) the lowest energy states are almost fully occupied. But, in any case, temperature applies to the probability distribution of the occupation of states with different energies, average energy per particle is just the normalized integral of this density time energy.
Here's another prospective.
The temperature o an object (particle) is a function of its energy. Theoretically there is no limit to the energy we can keep adding into a system.
However objects emit radiation that is dependent on their temperature. Object with higher temperature emit radiation with shorter wavelength.
According to quantum mechanics the shorter length in the universe is the Plank Distance (Plank length =

Yea...I wanna see them suck Kenpachi's reiatsu dry...
"Shit...how much energy does this guy have!?" says the little Quincy as Kenpachi cuts them all down.
BTW how much yall wanna bet that Ichigo is somehow immune to that move because of his Fullbringer BS?

So we gonna have a Ichigo vs Quincies war. But ofc, Kubo will come up with some lame excuse about how this ability doesn't affect the captain level shingami -___-
Just like him to uber-power someone and then put some absolutely crap reason to limit the use of their power

i think kubo is aizen. he just holds off on revealing certain people's powers. then when he writes himself into a corner or comes up with a new evil power, he has a bunch of 'mysterious bankais and powers' to reveal that just so happen to be the perfect counter to whatever new ability he has written and deemed to be unstoppable. not to mention just upgrading ichigo's power to whatever it needs to be at any given time to counter any new evil power. all part of his plan... or lazy writing. one of those

the looks of that guy after absorbing Alon are kinda symbolic for the state of things of this manga: It's some weird sorta chimera, it's half-arsed, it's sucking out people's soul(or money or nerves or whatever you wanna substitute), it's fugly and it's inevitable end is neigh
@ Eragon's "he's human" in theory good point but Kubo didn't tink it through, to my knowledge neither Orihime nor Chad are 100% reiatsu yet they get sucked there ...

I lol'd. I would say "I can't believe I called this a couple weeks ago", but I'd be lying.
Its kinda sad to see the 3 fraccion members get reduced to spirit particles, but at least there's a faint sliver of hope that Kubo might actually try to make Orihime relevant again. Oh btw, it seems like the fraccion members brief conversation w/ Orihime makes the short novel in the 3rd databook non-canon (since they didn't seem to remember who she was right away). One would think that they'd remember the face of the one that saved their precious Harribel very well...if that actually happened.
PS: If Quincy's can't absorb the likes of Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad just because they're human, I'm calling BS. Because that really shouldn't matter. If they're in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo, they underwent a process that converted their physical bodies to spiritual particles. So I'll accept any other reason Kubo can come up with to explain why our human protagonists can't be broken down. It just better not be simply "because they're human". There'd have to be more to it than that for it to make sense.

Why was it no surprise that Ichigo was late/slow at charging in to the rescue, he could or more should have jumped in as soon as Allon was sucked up but no he takes his sweet time as usual and after people get hurt.
Yea you could put it down to "cliche" if you want but I think we're past that now, just have Ichigo lay the smack down on this chump and move on.
Well I'm hoping to see Ukitake and Kyoraku kick some ass now, it's about time and if they don't live up to some of the hope I've put in, I'll be too sorely disapponited to even say so.

Then it really will be Ichhigo vs Quincies - 'cause you know Kubo is too deep in luurve (damm, can't mimick Happy without voice)with Ichigo to make him lose by just breaking him into reishi

Also, last time I checked Ichigo didn't have a physical body in shinigami form. He should be all spirit particles, unless that changed when he became a fullbringer.
Anyway, I'm just waiting for Aizen to come back.

It's just lame that the same old "my power level is higher so my trick outdoes your trick no matter what" thing was used again. Ichigo is too stupid to even use the hollow mask in his surprise attack. Didn't learn a thing from the fight against Aizen.

More than 200 alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends of Marian University attended Saturday's Indiana Pacers game.
Before tip-off, the Indiana Pacers honored Marian University for the opening of Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM), Indiana's first medical school in 110 years. President Daniel J. Elsener; MU-COM students Megan Ash, Ninah Clegg, Jonathan Adams, Ashley Heyman, and Thomas Sublett; and Knightro were invited onto the court for this special recognition.
"We had a great night. Not only did we get to watch an NBA powerhouse, but we also saw Marian University honored by the Indianapolis community. You felt proud to be a Knight," said Jimmy Cox, associate director of student affairs at Marian University.
The Pacers earned a victory that evening, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 106-92. In the fourth quarter, Paul George stole the show with a reverse 360-windmill dunk.

I have one user who started having this problem this morning. We have a few pages in our SharePoint install which link to files on our file server (a separate machine) meaning the links will point to something like "F:\COMMON\thisdepartment\thisfolder\thisdocument.docx". The F:\ drive is mapped to the file server on every machine in the office.
On any of the pages where this is done, my user will click the link and nothing will happen. If she right-clicks and selects "Open in a New Tab" it will open a new tab with the directory to the file in the address bar but the file will never load. If she right-clicks and chooses "Save Target As..." she can save a copy of the document to her machine, so I know the paths are correct, that she has proper permissions, and that the files are available.
She is the only person in the office with this issue, and there haven't been any changes to her machine or the SharePoint server since last night. I've tried rebooting her machine, restarting IIS for the site, and resetting her IE to default settings, as well as clearing the cache, deleting cookies, etc. Nothing has worked so far.
What could be causing this?

I currently have to write an application for college that I wish to go to over the summer. I have no idea where to turn and what to write. The prompt is to explain my interest in technology. Two questions...
A) Should I open with story or start with something else?
B) What web pages of (preferably) books can help me?
Thanks in advance!
