If you have a lucid dream, do not commit any acts of violence against the things you meet
by reddit user professionalsuccubus
I had my first lucid dream at age nine.
I was in a decrepit neighborhood – rotting porches, peeling paint, Spanish moss hanging off dormers, the works. Mist swirled around my ankles as I walked slowly through the streets. Like an old video game, the horizon was both unchanging and unreachable.
I wandered around, in and out of the cobwebby houses. Although the streets were empty, the houses usually had a few ghosts floating around. There were a few children, but they were mostly old people, in various stages of decay. They never hurt me, nor did they speak. They just floated. Sometimes they'd follow me, but I never felt threatened.

Unanswered: MDB Access DB Synch Issues -- Any Alternatives
I've been asked for a quick turn around on this. The group I'm assisting has a .MDB database where offsite workers that don't have internet all the time. Thus, way back the team implemented an Access DB which allows for synchronization.
As their team grew bigger they started running into the following issues:
1. Remote synching when an user tries to synch from a worksite, more often than not, the database will crash either due to loss of wireless signal, program timing out, or Inspector manually shutting down due to time (i.e., 30 or more minutes)
2. Multiple synchers we are unable to synch multiple at one time (there are currently 34 users in 3 different territories). If someone is synching and another person tries to synch at the same time, the second user will end up with an error message. They will have to shut down their DB and try to synch at a later time.
3. Incomplete synchs sometimes when an worker synchs his/her DB, not all the line items will copy over to the Master file which can cause confusion during review.
Is there any work arounds or items I can look into to resolve these?
I have little resources and time so anything involving a new server might not work.

Moyes - We deserved to win
Everton manager David Moyes says his side deserved to win after drawing with Arsenal 2-2.
By James Riach
Last Updated: 09/01/10 7:17pm
Everton manager David Moyes says his side deserved to win after drawing with Arsenal 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Toffees came unstuck by two deflected goals, including an injury-time equaliser from Tomas Rosicky, after Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman had both netted for the visitors.
Everton battled hard in terrible conditions in North London and were good value for their lead going into stoppage time.
Indeed, they could have been 3-1 up had James Vaughan shown the same composure as Pienaar moments after the South African's goal.
Moyes was delighted with the way his side performed, and argued that they were unlucky to only come away with a point.
"I think 2-1 up, into injury time wasn't it, so it should have been our day, we deserved to win today," he told Sky Sports.
"We played well enough, created enough chances, and we should be coming away with three points today.
Asked if he was disappointed only to be level at half-time, Moyes remarked: "I was because their goal, we had bits of ricochets, chances maybe to clear it, and then it takes a big deflection.
"But we had played well enough, I thought we had a good amount of possession here and that's sometimes difficult against a good Arsenal side.
"But overall then, as the second half wore on, Arsenal got much better in the second half, but I thought when we got the goal then it would probably be enough to see us home. But in the end it wasn't.
"There's a few words getting said in the dressing room amongst the players because they're really disappointed, that should have been a victory.
"I wouldn't say a comfortable victory but it should have been won.
"Two deflected goals that have gone in - we had chances to stop it, we missed a few tackles in the build up to both goals, which you can't do."
Steven Pienaar showed great composure to chip the ball over Manuel Almunia with just nine minutes to go, and Moyes hailed the midfielder's finish.
"I think if Henry had done that here in days gone by they'd have been raving about the finish, or Bergkamp," he added.
"So I think Steven deserves any plaudits he gets - it was a fantastic finish."
American Landon Donovan provided the cross for Osman's opening goal, and Moyes was delighted with the attacker's debut performance
"I thought he played very well," he said. "I was disappointed I had to take him off, he cramped up.
"I don't know if the cold had a bit to do with that as well, I'm sure more to do with it was having four weeks holiday and then only having five or six days training with us.
"So I've got to say he's done really well today and I thought he was a threat to them all day and he contributed to a good Everton performance.
"We're only finding out about him. We played him on the right today, I thought he did a great job there, I was really impressed by him.
"We may play him up front or off the front man as well so we just want to see if we can get the best out of him in the couple of months we've got him for."
When asked about the shooting of the Togolese team bus in Angola, Moyes admitted the club had been in contact with African players Joseph Yobo and Yakubu Aiyegbeni.
"We've contacted Joseph Yobo and Yak as well," he added. "I think they feel okay at the moment, it could change.
"But obviously it's a terrible situation. It's just dreadful it really is."

Charles R. Morris's The Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2008) was the first book to warn of the impending financial crash in all its horrific scale and speed. Now, with Comeback, Morris reveals that the United States is on the brink of a strong recovery that could last for twenty years or more.
The great economic boom times in American history have come because of fortuitous discoveries. Natural resources (coal first, then oil) fueled vast economic and industrial expansions, which in turn helped create and supply new markets. The last genuine economic game changer was the technology boom of the 1990s, which gave the U.S. a global competitive advantage for a while based on electronics and silicon. One of the first writers and analysts in the U.S. to predict that the tech boom would lead to a period of sustained economic growth was Charles Morris. In defiance of the recessionary times (in 1990), he saw the coming boom. Now, in 2013, he sees the threshold of another.
This time the gift is natural gas. The amount and distribution of gas in American shale is so vast that it has the potential to transform the manufacturing economy, creating jobs across the country, and requiring a new infrastructure that will benefit the nation as a whole. Because of fracking, jobs that once would have been outsourced abroad will return home, America can become a net exporter of energy, and cheap energy will provide the opportunity for innovation and competition.
In light of this new opportunity, and other complementary developments Morris explores in this book, the U.S. ought to be approaching the future with a robust self-confidence it has not experienced in a while. But we could fumble it away. The gold-rush style of shale boom companies does not make them good neighbors. A counter-reaction could put their industry, and the new era of national prosperity, at risk. We also have a political system that has the capacity to spoil the benefits of this huge boon. If the wealth locked in the continental shelf is not shared for the general economic good, but is instead exploited in short-term profiteering, then many of the opportunities that exist will be choked off by a few very rich corporations.
Managing the great bonus of the vast store of cheap energy is going to become a defining political challenge in the years ahead. At the threshold of a thrilling opportunity, Morris is a brilliantly perceptive guide.

Zillow's chief analytics officer and chief economist offers insight into the company's approach to data, models, and the real estate market.
[Updated June 29, 2017] It's been a mixed bag for viral sensation McMansion Hell. The same day as a feature video by The Washington Post, the news broke that the website is facing potential legal charges from real estate site Zillow.
The Verge
Zillow has released research on how many of the nation's homes may be underwater (literally) by the year 2100. Florida, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Louisiana are at the highest risk.
According to the real estate website, urban home values are growing faster than those in the suburbs, bucking a longtime trend. This isn't exactly surprising, but it has serious social justice implications.
Puget Sound Business Journal
A new report from Zillow shows evidence of a deepening crisis in the rental housing market.
Bloomberg Business
The potential of a standard, easily accessible data set tracking building and land use permits could completely change the way the public interacts with changes in their community.
The Washington Post - Wonkblog
New data released by online real estate marketplace Zillow suggests that 2015 will be a breakthrough year for first-time homebuyers.
Once again, the fine people at the real estate web portal Zillow have assembled their top 20 cities for trick-or-treating. This year they've gone one step further and identified the top 5 neighborhoods in each city for enterprising candy collectors.
When President Obama sat with real estate website Zillow for an online discussion this week, he may have been surprised to see the site turn its appraisal eye on his current home. See how much they think the 132-room mansion he occupies would fetch.
No, we're not talking about climate change - this list from Business Insider imagines which U.S. cities will be the best cities to live in in the future of 20 years from now.
Business Insider
The decline in housing prices during the Great Depression of the thirties peaked at a average loss of 25.9%. In November of last year, the current decline ticked past that landmark to hit 26%.

If you want to know how to remineralizing teeth read on… We also have the top 5 consumer remineralization toothpastes for you to choose from.
Remineralizing teeth is the process of putting minerals back into the teeth. When minerals are lost from the the natural eating process this is called demineralization.
A simple example of deminarilization is when consuming sugar foods, which produce acids which is capable of dissolving the carbonated hydroxyapatite – which is the main component in the teeths enamel, for promoting healthy teeth.
If their is excessive demineralization this can result in cavavities and teeth sensitivity.
3 TopTips For Natural Remineralization
Have a good diet that promotes saliva flow rich in calcium and phosphate (which is what teeth are actually made of) reduces the daily wear and tear on your teeth.
Eating natural unprocessed foods (fresh, raw fruits and vegetables), usually promotes chewing, which inturn promotes saliva production for natural remineralization.
Brushing your teeth properly can be an important factor for promoting remineralization – some studies have shown that a clean surface on the teeth can be beneficial, although disputed by other studies.
The good news is that this process can be resovled with remineralization.
Here we have the top natural remineralizing toothpaste brands as well as four others, as chosen by users- so you don't have to figure out which remineralizing toothpaste's are best:
1) – Squigle Tooth Builder Sensitive Toothpaste (4 oz)

The nanosized calcite ingredient works by neutralizing acids it then works to replace lost calcium, promoting the sealing of exposed dentin.
The ingredients lactoferrin and propionate work to prevent the build up of plaque bacteria and other pathogens.
The mild abrasives facilitate stain removal from the teeths surface leaving enamel intact.
It aids in preventing teeth sensitivity by sealing any exposed dentin – the reason for teeth sensitivity.
This toothpaste is also flouride free.

8 Ultimate Tips for Choosing the Best Gaming Office ChairProducts December 7, 2016, Comments Off 23
One of the dream jobs for gaming enthusiasts is testing just-developed video games. However, the job requires you to sit in front of a computer for extended periods. Apart from having the latest gaming keyboard and mouse to enhance the experience, the right chair makes everything better for you. Video game testers who spend hours on end have something in common – back pain. You can also avoid this if you have the right chair.
Not all ergonomic office chairs are designed to fit gaming desktops mainly because they are made in such a way that you end up leaning backward instead of forward. Additionally, playing video games isn't similar to other office tasks because it involves many parts of your body. Here are the top tips to look for when purchasing a gaming chair.
1. Consider Ultimate Comfort
The chair you choose should give you the ultimate comfort to allow you sit for long hours without feeling tired or stiff. Comfort is of particular importance when you are in a gaming marathon, and you have to sit for hours on end to beat a deadline.
2. The Seat Should Provide Lumbar support
Just like other gamers, you might tend to slump forward after several hours of sitting. This distorts the ordinary arc of your spine, placing unnecessary strain on your lower back, resulting in pain. The best option is to choose a gaming chair that affords you the luxury of adjusting the lumbar support. Make sure the chair can also give you support when it has reclined.
3. A Sliding Seat is Recommended
Adjustable sliding seats are ideal when you are tall, and you need to achieve the perfect posture. A sliding seat allows you to attain the finest under-thigh support for proper posture during gaming sessions. This is an ideal feature especially for short gamers whose sitting needs have often been overlooked. It also makes it possible for those who have a well-endowed backside to get a comfortable posture by pulling the seat slightly in front.
4. Go for One With An Adjustable Head Rest
A headrest gives support to your head when you have to game for long, and especially when you are playing slow action games. The support prevents pain developing in your spine and neck.
5. Make Sure Adjustable Armrests are Part of the Design
Never purchase a seat with fixed armrests because they won't help you realize an ideal posture. Fixed armrests might turn out to be too high or too low. If they are too high, they cause uncalled for strain on your arms while armrests that are too low will make you slouch to offer support to your arms.
If the seats are fixed at a wide angle, you will be forced to rest your elbows on them, which increases the risk of developing a condition called cubital tunnel syndrome. On the other hand, if the armrests are too close, it becomes difficult to get in and out of the chair.
Therefore, make sure you select a chair that comes with adjustable armrests for the best gaming experience. If possible, choose a chair that allows you to adjust the height, width, depth and pivot.
6. Incorporate Tilt Control
The perfect gaming chair should give your back necessary support while maintaining the natural spinal curve. For you to attain this, you need to get a chair that allows you to recline up to a certain point before locking it into place. The recline control gives you the option of achieving the best tilt angle, while the backrest lock allows you to fix the position.
7. The Back Support Should Use Breathable Mesh
You are better off with a chair that comes with a breathable mesh than one that has a solid back. The breathable characteristics of the mesh help keep you fresh as you play away. The mesh breathes and makes you comfortable throughout the day, helping you avoid sticky episodes when the weather gets hot later in the day.
8. Go for Adjustable Seat Height and Depth
Every gaming chair should have this feature. You need to adjust the height of the chair up or down to a suitable seating height. The right height encourages proper posture and reduces strain on your lower back. The height of the chair should be in such a way that your thighs are flat on the chair and your feet aren't dangling off the edge of the chair.
The right chair will also come with an adjustable depth to provide lumbar support. An improper depth forces you to hunch over, a posture that eventually limits the proper flow of blood to your legs.
Why Choose the Perfect Chair for Gaming?
For normal office desk jobs, a normal ergonomic chair works for you. On the other hand, if you are playing video games all day, enhanced comfort is ideal for your success. Choosing the right chair eliminates exhaustion and back pain that comes with sitting for a long time in front of the computer.

Bloodstock agent
Brian Grassick dies
BLOODSTOCK agent Brian Grassick, aged 54, died on Wednesday. He had been seriously ill with cancer in recent months.
After working for BBA (Ireland) for 17 years, Grassick and his wife, Sheila, set up Brian Grassick Bloodstock in 1991. Based at Newtown House Stud near Naas in County Kildare, he was a well-known figure on the international bloodstock sales circuit.
He bought numerous top-class horses including the Group 1 winners Bachir, San Sebastian and Dimitrova while healso purchased the dams of many group winners including Millenary, Preseli and Ransom O'War, as well as Lady Ambassador, dam of the 1998 Prix Vermeille winner and Arc second, Leggera.
He also advised Lazy T Farm, breeder of the 2005 Great Voltigeur Stakes winner Centennial, as well as David Tsui of Sunderland Holdings, owner of the Arc winner and legendary mare Urban Sea who boarded at Grassick's stud. She is dam of the champion racehorse and sire Galileo, Group 1 winner Black Sam Bellamy, Oaks runner-up All Too Beautiful, US Grade 1 winner My Typhoon and last summer's Group 2 Beresford Stakes winner Sea The Stars.
Brian Grassick Bloodstock also bred Fly For Avie, winner of the Grade 1 E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in 2000.
A son of former jockey and trainer Christy Grassick and his wife, Alice, Grassick rode as an amateur but gave up, as he explained in an interview in 2001, when a "lack of ability and hunger made me look for a job with prospects".
He was one of five brothers, all of whom are involved in the bloodstock industry - Michael is a trainer on The Curragh, Christy is manager of Coolmore Stud, Ronan runs a bloodstock transport business, while Martin is manager of Childwick Bury Stud in St Albans Hertfordshire.
Brian was a director of Goffs and yesterday the firm's chief executive Henry Beeby said: "Brian's advice, given his huge experience of the bloodstock industry, was absolutely invaluable to Goffs in recent years."
Goffs chairman Eimear Mulhern, speaking as a friend and colleague, said: "Brian was a consummate professional who built his reputation on his absolute integrity. He was a very talented man and one with a very clear vision of life. He built a very successful business based on all those qualities he possessed.
"He was also a totally committed family man with clear values and was as straight and honest aperson as one could wish to meet. We will all miss him hugely."
Grassick is survived by his wife, Sheila, daughters Cathy, who works for the family agency, and Sally Ann and son, Mark.
His funeral will take will take place on Saturday in Twomilehouse, County Kildare following 12pm mass.

Port Vale v Stevenage preview
Team news for Saturday's League One clash between Port Vale and Stevenage at Vale Park.
Last Updated: 13/12/13 2:42pm
Team news for Saturday's League One clash between Port Vale and Stevenage at Vale Park.
Port Vale manager Micky Adams has no new problems and plenty of options ahead of the visit of Stevenage.
Captain Doug Loft and goalkeeper Chris Neal remain on the sidelines with their respective calf and wrist injuries.
Fit-again Dan Jones and Robert Taylor were on the bench against Salisbury last week in the FA Cup, with the latter coming on as a substitute.
Taylor scored one goal and set up two more as Vale overcame the non-league side 4-1 and his performance, together with his comeback goal against Crewe recently, may earn him a starting role this weekend.
Liam Chilvers, Louis Dodds, Ben Williamson and Lee Hughes will also be vying for recalls as Adams' men chase an eighth win in the last 10 matches.
Simon Heslop and Filipe Morais, meanwhile, are suspended for Stevenage.
Midfielder Heslop and winger Morais serve one-match bans after they received their fifth yellow cards of the season in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy against Swindon in midweek.
Defender Ben Chorley came through the full 90 minutes of the penalty shoot-out defeat after eight months on the sidelines with groin and thigh problems, so a second match in four days may be too much for him.
Striker Darius Charles is the only definite injury absentee as he continues his recovery from ankle ligament damage.

We could see it coming, but it was still a long way off, so I decided to make "Just One More Cast."
We could see it coming, but it was still a long way off, so I decided to make "Just One More Cast."
Over a lifetime of fishing I have made that same decision and managed to get away with it, but not that afternoon. On that fateful day I was fishing out of Westport Harbor and scratching for a few bass that were barely over the 28-inch minimum, but I had plenty of time, or so I thought, and I was looking for a big fish to steak for a dinner with friends. I was working the hump off Quicksand Point, which many of us know as Brayton's because the point is at the end of Brayton Point Road in Westport, a location that is also the Massachusetts and Rhode Island border.
Anyone who has been fishing for a few years is well aware that a windspeed forecast of 5 to 10 or 10 to 15 usually results in winds of 15 to 25 or more, so the old-timers always said to take the wind prediction and add it to get what you could expect on most summer afternoons. This day was no different. The 5 to 10 was more like 15 to 20. I was bouncing around on the surface of a disturbed ocean, but the fish were really turned on, and I knew that any minute that jumbo striper that had eluded me would soon chase and strike my tube and worm rig.
The next two fish were teen-size stripers with attitude, and if I had been a scholarly angler I would have slipped two legal bass in the cooler rather than permitted my greed to hunt for something that obviously wasn't there. Just about the time I was ready to pack it in, I hooked up with an alligator bluefish that was hell-bent on dragging my boat into the surf at Elephant Rock Beach.
That 12-pound bluefish fought like a 25-pound striper on steroids, and between a building southwest wind and a fast drift, I was soon much closer to Long Rock than I wanted to be.
When I am fishing in these dangerous rockpiles, my engines are never turned off, so when I turned to head out to deeper water while dragging the bluefish, the first heavy drops of rain struck me on the side of the face.
The storm front that was miles away just minutes ago was now right on top of me. One of the reasons that many fishermen and boaters are reluctant to cruise the shoreline between Brenton Reef and Gooseberry is because there's no place to hide in a storm. That is, unless you consider moving in dangerously close to the shoreline and taking shelter behind some of the boulders that guard the beaches.
On this day, that squall was on top of me so fast and so furious that the gusts were whipping white water off the tops of the waves and tossing it about like cotton candy. I was trapped between the gigantic rollers making up on the bar at Braytons and the washes coming in from the shallows between Briggs Rock and the point. There was no way I was taking that seaworthy 18-foot Sakonnet out around the point and getting pummeled by the huge seas that were created in a matter of moments, and trying to make the inlet at Westport harbor on the strength of the outgoing tide would have been suicide.
That was the location where our friend, Orin Crapo, and the crew of the Atlantic Sword lost their lives when the huge seas at the nubble overturned and swamped that 45-foot offshore lobster boat. I locked the drag and cranked that bluefish for all I was worth until the line parted, then I picked my way between the shallows and tried to hide behind Long Rock. The velocity of the rain was so hard, I could not see for more than a few yards and the spray and wild sea conditions made it difficult to cut the corner without getting in too close and grounding on the point.
Fifteen minutes before, there had been people and barking dogs on the little stretch of puddingstone beach between Braytons and the sand beaches to the east, but I dared not turn to see if anyone was still there. On that half-tide there should have been plenty of protection from the exposed summit of Long Rock, but the wind and waves overwhelmed the structure and large waves were cascading over the rock and lifting the bow of my boat, then leaving a deep void which it fell into.
My normal trolling speed is between two and three knots, which presents my lures to the stripers in a natural manner. On that afternoon, I stuck the bow of that handsome little craft directly into the wind and pushed the throttle to 1,200 rpm, a speed that translated into between six and eight knots, and all I did was stem the tide in an attempt to stay in one place. I was trapped behind the rock but if I let up on the throttle, I would have been swamped and washed up onto the beach.
I have no idea as to how long I actually rode out that storm but it was probably 25 or 30 minutes that seemed like an eternity. The torrential rain finally subsided into a comfortable shower, while the winds abated to under 10 knots, almost calm when you consider that the squall was packing at least gale-force winds in excess of 45 knots. As the fury abated, I could hear voices over the thunder of the surf and turned to see a man and woman who had been watching the entire episode from the window of the cottage on the eastern bluff of Brayton's Point. The woman yelled that they had been watching me catch fish just before the storm moved in and wondered why I hadn't set my anchor. At that point, I did not have the time or the inclination to explain that by anchoring my boat, I would have increased my chances of swamping because the anchor would have held the bow down and prevented it from rising up to meet the head seas.
One of those big waves in my cockpit would have washed me overboard and I doubt the anchor would have taken a bite in the sand, which is very poor holding ground.
The late summer and early fall weather is an element that the judicious skipper keeps a watchful eye on, particularly during periods of hot weather, when storm clouds build over inshore waters. Late last week, on a balmy afternoon, I turned and ran back into Westport Harbor as storm clouds raced across Sakonnet and headed for Gooseberry. The forecast called for the possibility of late-afternoon thunderstorms, something very common for this time of the season, and as I cleared the nubble to get out of the wind, a couple with a child were heading out of the harbor in a 15-foot skiff. No one, particularly the child, had a life jacket on as they proceeded from the safety of the harbor onto the open water in the face of a building squall.
I was in no hurry to haul my boat, in fact I was hoping to fish a few hours more into nightfall, but because of so many experiences with dangerous weather, I was content to wait out the blow inside the harbor rather than out on the open seas. The wind built and rain began before the first distant sounds of thunder rolled in and still, there was no sign of the little boat and its passengers.
In the meantime, I had slipped on my foul-weather jacket and was holding my own just south of Charlton's Wharf, when the little boat came slipping and sliding on the waves around the corner and almost crashed into the big, red nun buoy at the entrance.
The man's head was bowed while the woman ranted and finger-pointed, quite obviously upset at being subjected to danger when it was totally unnecessary.
I would bet that she would be a reluctant passenger in the near future after the wet ride they were subjected to. I have spent my entire lifetime on the water and have been in more scrapes than I care to admit, and in most of those instances it was because I believed I could beat or cheat the weather and lost.
The months of August and September can provide some great fishing and cruising, but you must heed the weather forecasts and remain close enough to safe harbor when the late-afternoon squalls move in. Anything else and you might find yourself in the kind of dangerous situation I just described and your story might not have such a happy ending.

Can violent video games cause aggression?
The popularity of video games grows every day. The Global Games Industry Review expects the industry to be worth more than $100 million by 2017.
But as video games' popularity increases, so do the questions that surround them. Many wonder about the side effects that come from playing video games, especially for persons with mental disorders like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Christopher Engelhardt, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Missouri, will explore this topic when the Colloquium Series in Psychological Sciences and Human Behavior returns to Penn State Behrend.
New course brings video games to the classroom
A new course from the Penn State College of Education's Learning Design and Technology (LDT) program is not only integrating technology in the classroom, it is encouraging the students' use of commercial video games.
Motion-controlled video games may improve real world skills
Motion-controlled video games, such as those played on the Wii, may help boost skills when players compete in the real world, according to a team of researchers.
Students push limits, develop video games in 48 hours
Global Game Jam 2016 started at 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 29, and this marked the fourth year that Penn State Behrend students participated in the jam. A total of four Behrend teams, comprised of 22 students, created games. That was just a small part of the larger event as more than 36,000 jammers across 93 countries created nearly 6,800 games, making 2016 the largest Global Game Jam yet.
Researchers find parents of children with autism embrace video game use
A common frustration among many parents is wondering how to get their kids to 'disconnect' from devices—computers, phones, and gaming consoles—in order to maintain healthy lifestyles and develop meaningful relationships. In the case of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however, Penn State researchers have found that parents actually embrace their child's use of video games.
Engineering students use gaming techniques to develop new learning apps
When Ling Rothrock learned that the business world is using gamification successfully to increase employee productivity and decrease boredom in the workplace, he knew his industrial engineering students could attempt to implement the same approach in higher education.
Video games can power up from merely fun to meaningful experiences
It may be game over for critics who claim that video games are nothing more than a fun diversion. A team of researchers suggests that many games can be meaningful entertainment experiences for players.
Beyond the book: Penn State Behrend's Lilley Library adds video games
The new video game collection at Penn State Behrend's John M. Lilley Library includes more than 150 titles, including "Mass Effect" and "The Legend of Zelda." "These are must-plays, in terms of game design," said Matthew White, assistant professor of game development. "These are titles that revolutionized the types of games we play. They set the trends."
Penn State Behrend students develop video maze game
A video game created by students at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, is generating buzz on Steam Greenlight, a PC-gaming website with more than 40 million users. Support on the site could position the game for success on Steam's commercial portal, where, at any given time, the top titles are being played by more than 600,000 gamers.
New game systems hit 'upper limit' of graphics, Penn State Behrend expert says
Two new video game systems -- the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One -- hit the "upper limit" of video graphics, said Matthew White, lecturer in game development at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
"So much so that, in the future, something else will have to be the focus," he said.
Probing Question: Can games be more than child's play?
Remember backyard games of Red Rover, Mother May I, and Red Light Green Light? How about playing Monopoly or Chutes and Ladders? Games like these figure into the pleasant childhood memories of many, but can games serve a larger purpose? Are games more than "child's play"?
Video games may help with boys' classroom struggles
Studies during the past decade have shown elementary school boys are struggling -- falling behind academically while also being diagnosed with learning disabilities and getting in trouble at school at far greater rates than girls. One answer to the problem, says a Penn State education professor, may be video games. "Instructional technology is my field, thinking about how to adopt technology properly in classrooms," said Alison Carr-Chellman, department head and professor of instructional systems in Penn State's College of Education. "One of the reasons I'm interested in video games is because it meets boys where they are. It picks them up with an interest they already have."
Class on interactive media, video game industries to launch in fall
In a first for the University, video gaming -- an industry that generates broad-based interest, employment opportunities and as much as $100 billion worldwide each year -- will be the focus of a general-education class beginning next fall at Penn State. According to the course description, COMM 190 Gaming and the Interactive Media will provide and introduction to the business operations, future developments, social aspects and career opportunities in industries that produce interactive digital media products such as video games and simulations for business, education, medical military and other applications.
Fitness video games: health or hype?
Erika Poole, assistant professor of information sciences and technology, will present a talk titled "Fitness Video Games: Health or Hype?" from 11:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24, in the Cybertorium (113 IST Building). The event is free and open to the public.

I've seen this post for a couple of days now with no
responses. This tells me that there is a HUGE lack in what
you need. While I don't have an answer to your questions I
do see your opportunity.
Let me suggest you call the new website
Good Luck!!! :)
dba sites
your question is sort of vast
there are many sites. I certainly don't know them all. related sites on data warehousing, such as tdwi.org, and many others.
not everything is freely available. you may need to join acm.org or ieee.org and subscribe to their digital library archives on computers and software engg.
other resources would be in the form of training courses on the various vendor's databases.
for just books, books24x7.com has 21 books you can read online or search, that have DBA in title, and many more of interest to DBAs. Subs is expensive but worth it.
have you googled to look for sites?
dba site and professional support
Thanks DR Dij
I am a memeber of IEEE, ACM and Oracle user group. I also have Books 24x7 and Audible.
I have even completed a D.sc in IS.
These are all great resources.
But what i am looking for is feedback from other professionals who might say
"This site(s), group or book is my center piece for finding technical solutions, or for helping me in my professional development or leading me to the best resources." Perhaps it doesn't exist (technical paradise?) but with such a flood of information, what is the resource that you find consistently helpful.
Thanks so much for your reply and thoughts - I appreciate it.
Hmmmnn (again!)
Maybe TR would like to start DBARepublic.com like the dep0we said.
Some technical questions would do better under database specific sites such as Oracle or even product specific sites such as SAP users, tho as answers will differ by product due to differences in their SQL syntax, utilities, etc.
I'm a developer, not a DBA. Isn't there a DBA magazine for example? If so it shouldn't it have a website and technical discussions?
Maybe not... then here's a chance to start the site
BTW, what is Audible?
I see a site for Oracle DBAs: dbasupport.com
and a magazine: dbazine.com
