Hello everybody, wanted to let you know that just a minutes ago i tried to add funds through my PS Vita, it worked. Just added 5 dollars. To be honest...didn't want to try again for obvious reasons...stil...tried a couple of minutes later (this time with 25 dollars) and didn't work, though it is not the NP-2244-2 error. A message appears saying funds couldn't be added. I will give it some hours and try again.
I didn't do anything to fix the problem, it just worked today. The fact that a couple of minutes later i couldn't add funds...i guess that's a normal response from the system to avoid multiple (therefore probably illegal) charges. However, i will let you know how it went.

As promised before, here is my update on the issue, after waiting a few hours i could add again 5 dollars.
Again, i didn't do anything to solve this NP-2244-2 issue, and seems like my guessing is right, you have to let some time between funds, no idea about how much time, my guess is it is 5-10 mins, although...if it doesn't allow you to add funds again even after 5-10 mins my advise is to not keep trying and give it some hours...why? i think PSN will block you otherwise, but who knows...i wish SONY WOULD CLARIFY HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO USE THEIR SYSTEM, as there is no advise from Sony about how to avoid/prevent this NP-2244-2 error, i mean so far what i know is that downloading more than one item at once from the PSN store gives you the damn error...but it is just speculation found in internet sites.
Sony if you solved the problem for me (because i sure did nothing but call Sony Mexico support who not only did nothing but also told me to do nothing and go buy PSN cards...), thanks a lot!! but stil...you owe us at least an explanation on how to prevent it...or if we can forget about it please tell us. Because i sure don't want to be blocked again, online content was WHY i bought the PS Vita.

For what it's worth I didn't have to change anthing on my router. The problem occured randomly for me, I only reset my router weekly and it wasn't a change of IP or any settings. And it just as randomly fixed itself.
Maybe they're working on a fix? Who knows, from problems I've had with PSN in the past I've found you get no feedback. You have to keep emailing support to be told multiple stories and hope that you can decide which is the fix for you.
on 13-03-2012 11:32 AM
hi i been a long time SONY customer and i dont feel like i been treated fairly by the company when i called the tech support by phone they told me this error code does not exsist but it does its all over the forums and no one has replied with a fix the error code is 80023102 i am confused b4 i could buy stuff from the ps3 store now i cant someone told me to buy stuff from the computer and put funds on there but that has nothing to do with this error code the fact is i can place funds on my account i have money sitting in the PS3 wallet but can't use it just everytime i try to buy a theme a game or a add on EX nhl playstation shop in game also shows me that error. iv had this problem for quite a while and everytime i call sony about it they give me some BS excuse. I basicly gave them money into there pockets that i can't use my money just sittin in the wallet and when i asked for REFUND they said NO. So at least FIX the problem so we can buy stuff on the PSN NETWORK not let our Money just sit there. MY PROBLEM IS I CAN ADD FUNDS TO WALLET BUT CANT USE THEM ***** SONY *****

I was finally able to add funds, today.
I waited a week (8 days to be safe) from the last "Missed Charges" listed in the transaction history, then added $10.
Note that I didn't change anything with the credit card detail; I just waited. At this point I'm a little reluctant to try again, too soon.
on 14-03-2012 12:17 PM
@shockerhippy, tried those ports along with a few others. Closed them after trying. Too many ports open can lead to malware and spyware to creep in, so just make sure you haven't exposed your completely I would suggest closing ports you don't use
on 15-03-2012 12:02 PM
Having the same problem. I also tried to add funds via PSN and was told that my credit card details were incorrect. I checked and they are correct - identical to my billing info. Also I have used this card a number of times successfully. I was able to buy stuff from the store with existing funds.
I don't accept that this is something that "we" - the customers of Sony have to sort out by contacting local agencies or fiddling about with stuff. It's something that Sony have to sort out.

My husband refers to me as the Princess and the Pea, because I am very picky about beds. I am a side-sleeper, so I want a bed that protects my pressure points while also providing firm support and maintaining its shape to keep my spine aligned. It's a tough balance to find. We purchased a high-end mattress that was too firm. I tried an Eco-latex topper, but my husband and I were both miserable; under our body heat, it provided no support. This topper is wonderful! It's cheesy to say, but it really does feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, all while having really good support. This princess is finally comfortable!
I have a Serta 4 in memory foam topper and really like it as all memory foams it sleeps a little hot , so I thought i would give the cool gel memory foam a try it is a set up that could use a bit more tweaking, there 2 layers to this 1 reg memory foam and 1 blue cool gel memory foam that you have to align together and put into the pad cover I am some what O.C.D. and never having the edges alined always bothered me and it is a little difficult to stuff in the pad cover I think this would be a better product if they manufactured it as a fused together system. It was not as supportive as my 4 in Serta. I used this for a while and passed it to a relative who tried it and also quit using it. I never felt a cooling difference with this product between gel and reg memory foam my opinion is it must be just a few degrees in order to say it is cooler than regular foam ,but it still did not have that ump quality that good density memory is famous for. I think I can put up with a little more heat for a little more comfort
Loved the idea of the memory foam with a gel top and it was great for about a week. It broke down after a week and now sags worse than my bed. Wish I didn't waste my money.. Of course I can't ship it back and ask for a refund. Don't waste your money or time.
Excellent mattress topper. Not hot at all. Turns your bed into a dream. Putting it together was easy. Just laid out the cover on an unmade bed. Unzipped it totally with the end that doesn't unzip at the top of the bed. Then I both pieces of foam on the bed, blue one on top. I made sure they were where I wanted them and lined up so they were squarely stacked on top of one another. I let them breath about an hour and they appeared to be ready for the cover. I then zipped the cover close, made the bed, and that night slept on the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I am something over 50 and get hot at night, but since I got this topper I don't get hot at all. I think my pillow top mattress was making me hot. Anyway problem solved. Great mattress topper choice. Delivers quickly. No smell. No regrets!!!
A bit unnerving at first, due to initial motion transfer. After two nights on it, either that disappeared or we got used to it, because now it's great!
I am like the princess and the pea. I need a soft comfortable mattress and this foots the bill over my pillow top mattress.
I have purchased memory foam toppers before..This is the worst one..It has a really bad odor.(Not from polyethylene)I have aired it,I have sprayed Lysol..I have tried to cover it..Nothing will take away the smell..The odor is an old watery moist swampy smell.I really couldn't wait for this topper,As I have a bad back..I figured since I payed more for it it would be great,with the gel foam and everything..It came in 2 pieces a 1 inch Green slab and a 2 in white slab..Now what am I going to do..I payed *** for it..This has got to be the worst purchase I have ever got at Overstock...The product is not as depicted in the picture.
The cover was just ok. Did not give me the coolness comfort I expected.
i am currently pregnant. getting a mattress topper was a necessity. finding one that would not make our already very high bed too high to get on super pregnant. i really like the top layer being cooler, as i am naturally already hotter than normal. i do not like that the two layers are entirely separated from each other. it means i have to take the top sheet off and adjust about every other day, or one layer will end up on the floor. other than that, i really like them!
This is not what I expected. I had looked in Macys' & Carsons. I expected to receive a memory foam completely closed in a case. I received the foam with cover that I had to inclose. Like a mattress pad. With nothing on the back. Just a cover for the top. It seems like others had this complaint while some people describe something similar to an enclosed case so it is difficult to determine if the manufacturer just ships whatever cotton item is available at the time of shipment. Mine did smell, similar to how latex paint smells after painting a room, it does eventually subside. The end result is I sleep better, but the idea of paying $150 on sale for two slabs of foam and an oversized mattress pass pad coming in a battered box, compared to paying less for an encapsulated pad(s), I think I screwed up.

Woman donates kidney to ex-mother-in-law
Tags: Leominster Erica Arsenault Scott Wolferseder Dorothy Wolferseder
LEOMINSTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- A Leominster woman volunteered to donate a kidney to her former mother-in-law years after her divorce.
The woman made the incredible offer nearly 10 years after she divorced the woman's son.
Six weeks ago, a successful transplant operation was performed and both women are healing now. They say the whole ordeal has brought a family separated by divorce closer than ever.
"I broke down crying. I couldn't even talk to her," said Dorothy Wolferseder.
Erica Arsenault learned she was a match for her former mother-in-law soon after Dorothy Wolferseder found out her kidneys were failing at the age of 72.
"A lot of history between me and her," said Erica Arsenault.
When the Wolferseders posted on Facebook that they were searching for a kidney donor to help save Dorothy's life, Erica wrote back with a simple message: "my kidneys are yours." The life-saving act of generosity surprised no one more than Erica's ex-husband.
"We were married just about 10 years. She told me just for the heartache she caused myself and our boys as well as my family, this was her way of making things right," said Scott Wolferseder.
Scott Wolferseder and Erica Arsenault had two children together. She's since remarried and has another son. But she says she and her former mother-in-law speak every day.
Despite the pain of the divorce, Scott says he'll always consider Erica family.

Nice quiet place in a great location at the Village market. Delicately decorated giving it a summery and open feel. Fantastic personalised wait staff. Must try the wood fired pizzas and the Osteria special pasta!
A pleasant place for a lunch or dinner. A bit difficult to find in the maze that is the Village Market. Has a nice outdoor area, but unfortunately, when I visited for lunch there was a construction project going on over the wall and the noise was a bit disconcerting. Hopefully, that is not the case at nice. Very good... More
Delicious comfort food and warm efficient service - what could be better? We are regular customers of this lovely italian restaurant tucked up on the top corner of Village Market shopping center in Gigiri. As soon as you place your order you are presented with a large complimentary tasty tomato bruschetta. Keep this in mind, as you might not need... More
I'm always anxious at trying new places and not knowing the reputation of their food. But I got it right and ordered the Pasta Osteria with a delicious cream-based tomato sauce and mushrooms. Just to die for!!!! Decided to conclude this lovely meal with dessert and ordered the Tiramisu. What I received was a piece of dry cake with icing... More
I could not find Osteria warwick centre on tripadvisor but since it is located in gigiri, this is the closest connection I thought. I went to this restaurant with a friend on the 26/08/2013 and was very disappointed. There is some construction work going on at Warwick centre hence the outside sitting of the restaurant has terrible views of cement... More
Located in the Village Market, Gigiri. The best lamb chops in the city! Juicy, tasty, simply delicious! Candles on the tables, makes it a special dinner along with the nice jazz small trio they have. Perfect!
Came here with some of the girls, and we all were so happy with our dishes. I ordered the fresh gnocchi, it was terrific. highly recommended if you want fresh and fanastic Italian!!! The ravioli, was great as well as the other pasta dished we tried.
it was my daughters birthday and was a special occassion. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. which was steak, ravioli, chicken and fish . The decor is nice and it a beautiful place.
I tried the ravioli from the menu one evening, which was done very nicely. Some great innovative ides to choose from. The lunch special for KES 1000 is great value for money and one day I had beautiful fillet steak that melted in your mouth. The bruschetta that comes with every meal is made fresh and is full of colour... More

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee weighs in

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
I think it's not just an economic issue.
I think it's a moral issue.
I think it's frankly not moral for my generation to keep spending -- more than we -- again.
The politics financial -- morality governor Mitt Romney talked about that during his debate with President Obama.
Conservatives and liberals are both calling for movement towards.
A more moral economy for Republicans it's cutting spending and for Democrats -- asking that the rich to pay more.
Governor Mike Huckabee.
Fox is joining us now live governor great to have you here thank you to joining us today.
Thank you very much in -- pleasure to be here I know this is an important issue for you and I thought this would be a good time to really take a closer look at why you feel morality and the economy are linked.
Some people of called what's going on generational theft that's a very accurate description.
And I think by anybody's code of honor.
If you steal from somebody that is a moral issue that's what we're doing we're stealing from the generation that's coming after us.
We not think of it that way but if we're spending money that they're gonna have to pay back on our behalf we get the benefit of them the money being spent they get the burden.
That's immoral it's wrong to do that which is exactly what this huge sixteen trillion dollar debt represents.
-- it's a sand that the current state of affairs with such a huge debt in high unemployment is being accepted.
By some as a new normal.
I am -- and let let me be very fair this isn't just something Democrats have created this is something Republicans have done.
Republicans boast that they don't raise taxes.
That may be wonderful but if they don't pay for the things they spend money far.
That's no better.
The Democrats just spending money and -- wanting to have to raise taxes.
And -- rich people -- for that matter poor people which frankly that's what the taxes of -- That's why they did both parties have got to accept that they've got dirty hands and culpability.
Recognize we're not gonna fix this by shouting at each other in going to the far corners we're gonna do it by coming together and recognizing.
That debt is a crisis that it's got to be addressed by mature adults not everyone is gonna get everything they want in fact no one will get everything they want.
Everybody's got to be willing to -- to recognize a real solution.
They talk about debates from I -- do -- and that the debate that just happened we missed hearing more about America's exceptional isn't.
Well with a one moment that I thought we really got a piece of that was when Mitt Romney turned behind him.
And pointed to the constitution and the declaration of independence that was part of the set.
And very movingly he spoke of how.
Those -- the governing principles I thought it was one of the high moments of the debate in and a great moment for Mitt Romney to show.
A level of connection.
To the constitution to the declaration to the founding principles of America.
And really to touch our emotional buttons and remind this week -- -- great country.
Not just because we're so great ourselves we're great because the foundation on which we stand as solid.
Solid rock and that's that's very powerful and because you believed.
Many of us believe that we are -- great country that we ten.
Six what's going on right now that we can make a difference and cut this debt and a big way.
We can but we can't do it just by cutting taxes.
You know and hoping the economy grows and we can't do it simply by.
Spending more hoping that stimulates the economy the real way to get out of the debt crisis is to grow the economy.
And the way to grow the economy is to create real sense of I guess the excitement about people making investments.
If taxes go -- Investment slows down.
And if we -- get to the place where regulation causes it to be too difficult to succeed in business we can't grow.
But if we open up our marketplace if we stop punishing productivity.
Right now that's what our tax system does.
We punish the productive and we underwrite.
And we subsidize the recklessly irresponsible through bailouts to big banks and insurance companies and car companies.
The fact is that people who are working hard in doing well small business owners and even big business owners who aren't asking for -- uncle sugar to fix it forum.
Those -- the folks -- getting punished and that is not the way to grow the economy changed that and we can get out of this debt problem.
Governor Mike Huckabee always a pleasure to have you on board thank you so much for joining us today.
Thank you immigrate to talk to you.

Top Things To Do & See In Canada: Tourist Attractions
All of the things to do in Canada vary across the 2nd largest country in the world. Rarely does a country have as much variety and natural beauty as Canada, from the highest tides in world at the Bay of Fundy in the East to the rare temperate rain forests on the West coast.
Make sure to also visit the new attraction on the CN Tower where you can stand on the edge of the tower looking out at Toronto with a harness
If you would like to get to know the real Canada then investigate everything in-between. The prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba are expanses and the bread basket of Canada and also prepare one for the gracious and majestic beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Here are the Top 5 things to do in Canada:
Horseshoe Falls (Niagara Falls Canada Side):
Across the border from Niagara Falls, they dwarf the American Falls. The name actually comes from the shape that nature has created. Be sure to eat at the Skylon Tower which provides a 360 degree panoramic view of the area. Don't forget to make a reservation because walk-ins may not be seated. We compared Niagara with Iguazu Falls in this post. Being only a short ride from Toronto this is one of the most popular things to do in Canada.
Quebec Province:
If you want to experience a uniquely different culture the Quebecois would be happy to oblige. From the art, the food, and even the music, this area of Canada is distinctly French Canadian. Make sure to brush up on your French because it will make your experience more worthwhile. Montreal is 2nd largest French speaking city in the world right after Paris and is what I consider the American Paris. If you want to familiarize yourself with the history of Colonial France, stop by Quebec City which is the only city in North America that is stone walled.
The City of Toronto:
One of the most cosmopolitan and international cities in the world and one of top Canada attractions. You can experience almost every culture in this incredibly diverse city. From the art, cuisine, fashion, and even entertainment.
The CN tower gives an impressionable view of the great lake that surrounds Toronto. Dundas Square is the Canadian reinvention of Times Square, lesser in size and prestige.
Toronto makes up in size in what it has in festivals in the summer. The city erupts with festivals what seems like every weekend, you can even attend some of the largest festivals in the world here. Caribana, one of the great things to do in Canada, is the 3rd largest Caribbean festival in the world.
New Brunswick & Nova Scotia:
Explore the natural wonder of the Bay Fundy which boasts the most impressive tides in the world. One of the popular Canada attractions they dont tell you about is the lobster meals served in this part of old Canada (some of the best lobster in the world.
A fortress city lies perfectly preserved in time from the 18th century in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia.
There are also impressive sites in Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. If you enjoy pristine ocean views take a drive along Cabot trail on Cape Breton Island. It is North America's answer to the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
British Colombia & The Canadian Rockies:
The Canadian Rockies are the cathedrals of North America. Be sure to visit the Fairmont Chateau on Lake Louise which gives a taste of old Europe. In addition to visiting Vancouver, it's worth while to take a ferry to the capital of Victoria.
Visit the wax museum and the colorful Butchart gardens outside of the city.
Cap off your trip with high tea and crumpets at the Empress Princess Hotel and Tea House to see what life was like in the British Empire during the 19th century.
The waiters and even the ladies take this event very seriously which can be evident by the clothes they wear. If time persists you can go whale watching at certain times of the year as well.

I find that America and Canada share a common culture together.. With the United States being the dominant culture in the world I would consider it the American Paris instead of the Canadian Paris.. thanks for catching the spell check!

Well, seeing as how Canada and the U.S both are part of North America! I see nothing wrong with what was written above. Just as South America is shared by multiple counties it is the same with North America. I myself am American and cannot stand how ignorant our people have become. This is exactly the reason why I was looking at this site, to escape this type of arrogance.

These are great picks of what you should see in Canada, but I would not limit it to these. Canada has so much more to offer: the breathtaking wilderness of the North, the beautiful West Coast, the rough, but beautiful coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, the more serene bays and cliffs of Atlantic Canada, the idyllic rural areas of Quebec and Ontario, the vastness of the Great Lakes. This country is worth more than one trip and should be explored in detail to really appreciate its beauty and charm.

My husband is going on a business trip next month to New Brunswick, Canada. Because he is spending a week up there, we just decided that I would purchase my own plane ticket and go with him! I've always wanted to be able to say that I've been to Canada, and those pictures above are absolutely gorgeous! They make me want to go there even more! I'm so excited to go.

"With the United States being the dominant culture in the world I would consider it the American Paris instead of the Canadian Paris…" Even when trying not to be an ignorant American you still can't pull it off. American culture is in no way the "dominant" culture in the world and Montreal is not American. North American yes, American no. Next time you feel like educating people about Canada please reconsider.

I have read your blog for a while u have alot of very interesting adventures and it's somehow a very different picture when you have come to Canada… It's not a country in its own to you, but an extension of your own country? Canadians do not like being called American because we simply are not! unfourtunatly our government doesn't do alot to protect that letting alot of American Buisness up here:(.. Side note; your country is not " the sole world power" that would be Britain they still have many commonwealth countries and the largest influence in my mind, and honestly China is right up there if not the top , just because Americans scream the loudest doesn't make them the sole world power.

I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations? - November 29, 2013 at 1:23 am
It's British Columbia (after the Columbia River) not British Colombia. Lake Louise is in Alberta. Montreal is not an American city. Canada and the USA may share some cultural similarities, but lumping them together as one in the same is insulting to both countries. Just like it would be insulting to say that all South American countries are the same to the people of that continent. Ignorance. You'd think someone as well traveled as yourself would see this clearly. Guess not.

2014 rankings offer data on nearly 1,800 schools
KINGS POINT, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (U.S. Merchant Marine) is America's second best public regional college in the North and third best regional college according to the 2014 U.S. News and World Report rankings. USMMA has moved up the rankings from last year for undergraduate engineering programs in America, and is now ranked the 22nd best.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130916/NY80428 )
"Our vision for the Academy is to be the world leader in maritime education," said Rear Admiral James A. Helis, Ph.D., superintendent of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. "We are very proud of this year's rankings as well as our continuing recruitment effort to increase the number of women and minority candidates eligible to enter the regiment and maritime industry."
The U. S. Merchant Marine Academy was the first federal service academy to admit women in 1974. The minority percentage of midshipmen has steadily risen each year. The Class of 2017 is 23 percent minority, compared with 14.4 percent in the Class of 2013. The number of women in the Class of 2013 is the highest in ten years at 16 percent.
"These results are indicative of the outstanding quality, hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff," said Shashi Kumar, Ph.D., master mariner and academic dean of the Academy. "With this year's introduction of our new cutting edge curriculum, we hope to continue our role as the world leader in maritime education."
Upon graduation, midshipmen receive a Bachelor of Science Degree and government-issued merchant marine officer license that will help ensure a steady stream of U.S. merchant marine officers to support the nation's economic and security interests. Kings Point graduates must serve five years on active-duty in the military or work in the maritime industry for five years, with an eight year commission in any branch of the reserves.
This year, The Chronicle of Higher Education Almanac rated USMMA second for small colleges with the best 6-year graduation rate. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy has also just been selected as a Public Ivy for 2013-14 by EducatedQuest.com, one of only 21 U.S. public colleges and universities honored, and is on the Forbes list of top college in the United States.

- Properties of hadronic matter near the phase transition (2010)
- In order to fully understand the new state of matter formed in heavy ion collisions, it is vital to isolate the always present final state hadronic contributions within the primary Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) experimental signatures. Previously, the hadronic contributions were determined using the properties of the known mesons and baryons. However, according to Hagedorn, hadrons should follow an exponential mass spectrum, which the known hadrons follow only up to masses of M = 2 GeV. Beyond this point the mass spectrum is flat, which indicates that there are "missing" hadrons, that could potentially contribute significantly to experimental observables. In this thesis I investigate the influence of these "missing" Hagedorn states on various experimental signatures of QGP. Strangeness enhancement is considered a signal for QGP because hadronic interactions (even including multi-mesonic reactions) underpredict the hadronic yields (especially for strange particles) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, RHIC. One can conclude that the time scales to produce the required amount of hadronic yields are too long to allow for the hadrons to reach chemical equilibrium within the lifetime of a cooling hadronic fireball. Because gluon fusion can quickly produce strange quarks, it has been suggested that the hadrons are born into chemical equilibrium following the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition. However, we show here that the missing Hagedorn states provide extra degrees of freedom that can contribute to fast chemical equilibration times for a hadron gas. We develop a dynamical scheme in which possible Hagedorn states contribute to fast chemical equilibration times of X X pairs (where X = p, K, Lambda, or Omega) inside a hadron gas and just below the critical temperature. Within this scheme, we use master equations and derive various analytical estimates for the chemical equilibration times. Applying a Bjorken picture to the expanding fireball, the hadrons can, indeed, quickly chemically equilibrate for both an initial overpopulation or underpopulation of Hagedorn resonances. We compare the thermodynamic properties of our model to recent lattice results and find that for both critical temperatures, Tc = 176 MeV and Tc = 196 MeV, the hadrons can reach chemical equilibrium on very short time scales. Furthermore the ratios p/pi, K/pi , Lambda/pi, and Omega/pi match experimental values well in our dynamical scenario. The effects of the "missing" Hagedorn states are not limited to the chemical equilibration time. Many believe that the new state of matter formed at RHIC is the closet to a perfect fluid found in nature, which implies that it has a small shear viscosity to entropy density ratio close to the bound derived using the uncertainty principle. Our hadron resonance gas model, including the additional Hagedorn states, is used to obtain an upper bound on the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio, eta/s, of hadronic matter near Tc that is close to 1/(4pi). Furthermore, the large trace anomaly and the small speed of sound near Tc computed within this model agree well with recent lattice calculations. We also comment on the behavior of the bulk viscosity to entropy density ratio of hadronic matter close to the phase transition, which qualitatively has a different behavior close to Tc than a hadron gas model with only the known resonances. We show how the measured particle ratios can be used to provide non-trivial information about Tc of the QCD phase transition. This is obtained by including the effects of highly massive Hagedorn resonances on statistical models, which are generally used to describe hadronic yields. The inclusion of the "missing" Hagedorn states creates a dependence of the thermal fits on the Hagedorn temperature, TH , and leads to a slight overall improvement of thermal fits. We find that for Au+Au collisions at RHIC at sqrt{sN N} = 200 GeV the best square fit measure, chi^2 , occurs at TH = Tc = 176 MeV and produces a chemical freeze-out temperature of 172.6 MeV and a baryon chemical potential of 39.7 MeV.
- Probing the QCD Phase Diagram with Compact Stars (2010)
- In this work we study compact stars, i.e. neutron stars, as cosmic laboratories for the nuclear matter. With a mass of around 1 - 3 solar masses and a radius of around 10km, compact stars are very dense and, besides nucleons, can contain exotic matter such as hyperons or quark matter. The KaoS collaboration studied nuclear matter for densities up to 2-3 times saturation density by analysing kaon multiplicities from Au+Au and C+C collisions. The results show that nuclear matter in the corresponding density region is very compressible, with a compressibility of <200MeV. For such soft nuclear equations of state the maximum masses of neutron stars are ca. 1.8 - 1.9 solar masses, whereas the central densities are higher than 5 times nuclear saturation density and therefore point towards a possible phase transition to quark matter. If quark matter would be present in the interior of neutron stars, so-called hybrid stars, it could be produced already during their birth in supernova explosions. To study this we implement a quark matter phase transition in a hadronic equation of state which is used in supernova simulations. Supernova simulations of low and intermediate mass progenitors and two different bag constants show a collapse of the proto neutron star due to the softening of the equations of state in the quark-hadron mixed phase. The stiffening of the equation of state for pure quark matter halts the collapse and leads to the production of a second shock wave. The second shock wave is energetic enough to lead to an explosion of the star and produces a neutrino burst when passing the neutrinospheres. Furthermore, first studies of the longtime cooling of hybrid stars show, that colour superconductivity can significantly influence the cooling behaviour of hybrid stars, if all quarks form Cooper Pairs. For the so-called CSL phase (colour-spin locking) with pairing energies of several MeV, the cooling of the quark phase is suppressed and the hybrid star appears as a pure hadronic star.
- Thermal photons as a measure for the rapidity dependence of the temperature (1995)
- The rapidity distribution of thermal photons produced in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN-SPS energies is calculated within scaling and three- fluid hydrodynamics. It is shown that these scenarios lead to very different rapidity spectra. A measurement of the rapidity dependence of photon radiation can give cleaner insight into the reaction dynamics than pion spectra, especially into the rapidity dependence of the temperature.
- A Stopped delta-matter source in heavy ion collisions at 10-GeV/N? (1994)
- We predict the formation of highly dense baryon-rich resonance matter in Au+Au collisions at AGS energies. The final pion yields show observable signs for resonance matter. The Delta1232 resonance is predicted to be the dominant source for pions of small transverse momenta. Rescattering e ects consecutive excitation and deexcitation of Delta's lead to a long apparent life- time (> 10 fm/c) and rather large volumina (several 100 fm3) of the Delta-matter state. Heavier baryon resonances prove to be crucial for reaction dynamics and particle production at AGS.
- Pion and thermal photon spectra as a possible signal for a phase transition (2005)
- We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model, recent data for S + Au at 200 AGeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed. Results for Au+Au at 11 AGeV and Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV are also presented.
- Monte Carlo model for multiparticle production at ultrarelativistic energies (1994)
- The Monte Carlo parton string model for multiparticle production in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies is described. An adequate choice of the parameters in the model gives the possibility of recovering the main results of the dual parton model, with the advantage of treating both hadron and nuclear interactions on the same footing, reducing them to interactions between partons. Also the possibility of considering both soft and hard parton interactions is introduced.
- Hadron production from a hadronizing quark gluon plasma (1997)
- Measured hadron yields from relativistic nuclear collisions can be equally well understood in two physically distinct models, namely a static thermal hadronic source versus a time-dependent, non-equilibrium hadronization off a quark gluon plasma droplet. Due to the time-dependent particle evaporation off the hadronic surface in the latter approach the hadron ratios change (by factors of / 5) in time. The overall particle yields then reflect time averages over the actual thermodynamic properties of the system at a certain stage of evolution.
- Phase transition of a finite quark-gluon plasma (1997)
- The deconfinement transition region between hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma is studied for finite volumes. Assuming simple model equations of state and a first order phase transition, we find that fluctuations in finite volumes hinder a sharp separation between the two phases around the critical temperature, leading to a rounding of the phase transition. For reaction volumes expected in heavy ion experiments, the softening of the equation of state is reduced considerably. This is especially true when the requirement of exact color-singletness is included in the QGP equation of state.
- Chemical freezeout in relativistic A+A collisions: is it close to the QGP? (1997)
- Preliminary experimental data for particle number ratios in the collisions of Au+Au at the BNL AGS (11A GeV/c) and Pb+Pb at the CERN SPS (160A GeV/c) are analyzed in a thermodynamically consistent hadron gas model with excluded volume. Large values of temperature, T = 140 185 MeV, and baryonic chemical potential, µb = 590 270 MeV, close to the boundary of the quark-gluon plasma phase are found from fitting the data. This seems to indicate that the energy density at the chemical freezeout is tremendous which would be indeed the case for the point-like hadrons. However, a self-consistent treatment of the van der Waals excluded volume reveals much smaller energy densities which are very far below a lowest limit estimate of the quark-gluon plasma energy density. PACS number(s): 25.75.-q, 24.10.Pa
- Fluctuations and inhomogenities of energy density and isospin in Pb + Pb at the SPS (1998)
- The main goal of heavy ion physics in the last fifteen years has been the search for the quark-gluon-plasma(QGP). Until now, unambigous experimental evidence for the QGP is missing.

GOLD RIVER, Calif. - Two of four Triton boats finished first in their grand final races at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association (WIRA) Championships on Sunday in Gold River. The Triton JV eight and second novice eight boats both went wire-to-wire in their contests for a pair of dominant performances.
The Triton JV eight boat trumped its competitors in an otherwise close race, clocking a time of 6:04.6 in a commanding start-to-finish performance. UCSD finished ahead of second place Gonzaga by a comfortable six seconds. The last boat to cross the finish line was University of San Diego, who finished with a time of 6:25.7.
UC San Diego's second novice eight shell also finished ahead of the field with a time of 6:13, leading its competitors from start to finish. UCLA's "A" boat came in second, trailing the Tritons at 6:16.8.
"It was really good for that second novice eight boat," said Triton head coach Zach Johnson. "They were really pumped up and did a great job."
UCSD's varsity eight captured third place in its contest, coming in behind Gonzaga and USD with a time of 6:08. Gonzaga finished in 5:57.6, and USD secured second place with a mark of 6:05.5. The Tritons led Gonzaga at the 500 meter mark, but the Bulldogs countered at the halfway mark to pull through the finish line.
"The varsity eight did a really great job, especially when considering the drastic changes we've made to the lineup in recent weeks," said Johnson.
The fourth Triton boat to compete in a grand final on Sunday was the novice eight, who finished fourth in a six-boat field, clocking a time of 6:14. Orange Coast College took the gold in that race, coming in at 6:04.1.
"The novice eight boat was pretty disappointing," said Johnson. "They just never got into the race, and it was disappointing for that crew."
Despite the Tritons' two first place grand final finishes on Sunday, UCSD failed to qualify for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National Championships, which will be held in Camden, N.J. on May 31-June 2.
"Our crew had a good weekend," Johnson said. "We have a lot of young guys with a ton of potential, and we're now putting our focus on next year."

Freedom of speech is one of the fundamental rights all Canadians enjoy. Such freedom, however, does not give the right to freely express everything one dares to think.
With that in mind, The Daily News wants to clarify its policy and practices around comments posted to stories on our website, with the goal of fostering meaningful discussion between individuals about topics in the public interest.
Recent online discussions on some of the stories on our site have not lived up to the standard described above. To the contrary, the threads have degenerated into personal and needless attacks sufficiently nasty to make us all feel ill at ease. In a couple of instances, The Daily News has taken the unusual step of closing commenting on some stories because of the increasingly insulting nature the online conversations have acquired.
We accept many in the web community feel online commenting should be moderated to the least extent possible. The Daily News, however, has a responsibility to the greater community as well. Allowing a forum for discussion to descend into nastiness serves no public good, no greater purpose, and in fact, dissuades many from joining in, from feeling like they have a place.
The Daily News wants to remind our online community that we require commenters to abide by a code of conduct spelled out by our User Agreement and Privacy Policy. A link to it can be found at the bottom of our site's web pages.
Read it. It sets out the kind of conduct and language we consider objectionable and are not prepared to condone. Starting today (Wednesday), The Daily News will ban users who violate the agreement as soon as we become aware of unacceptable conduct. No warnings, no second chances. This will be one-strike baseball, people, so play accordingly.
We don't want to stymie the discussion. To the contrary, we want to see lively debate on our online site. Be thoughtful. Challenge us and each other. Argue, criticize — be angry, even. Just be respectful. It's a small, simple thing to ask.

Ok... we've already told you how cool this year's coverage is going to be and how hard we've been working... but we did we mention (enough) just how expensive it is to support nearly a dozen people, cart them halfway across the country, and then make sure that they're fed and watered on a somewhat regular basis?
Well... take our word for it -- this is no small endeavor... and a really costly one, to boot. So that's why we're so thrilled (OK, relieved) to speak up and thank the folks who are paying the bills this week. Some of the finest companies in the business have ponied up some very serious bucks so that YOU can read the most comprehensive coverage we know how to offer.
What else is there to say... we want a turbo SR22 BAD (and not simply for the off chance of getting to see SR22 owner Angelina Jolie at the next COPA gathering.) It's not surprising that the combination of a turbocharger... and a hot new Hartzell prop... makes a wonderful aircraft even more so. Cirrus has an SR model for everybody... from the VFR-spec SRV, to the midrange SR20 and on through the SR22 model line... and all of them equipped with the groundbreaking CAPS emergency parachute system.
Even if you've been living in a remote cave on an otherwise uninhabited island off lower Botswana, you'd still have to know that Cirrus Design that is turning this industry on it's ear right now. More important; we know a few things that we can't quite tell you yet that are going to make this company even more notable than it already is... and that's a REALLY tough thing to do. Cirrus Design is poised to make a number of announcements (again!) that are going to have an amazing effect on this industry and help to revitalize the world of general aviation and put more capable safer airplanes into the hands of flyers all over the world...
Stay tuned to ANN to get the inside details AS THESE STORIES BREAK.
Take my word for it... these folks are really setting this business on a dramatic new course. Hence, we are SO pleased to welcome Cirrus Design as a Major Sponsor for our 2006 Coverage of the EAA AirVenture Fly-In.
Please support our generous sponsors as they support our efforts to keep you up to date on one of the aviation world's most exciting events.

You can see 7 & 4 Storm Team Meteorologist Joe Charlevoix weekdays on 7 & 4 News Today.
NORTHERN MICHIGAN -- While the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea sweep up the East Coast lashing that region with gusty winds and heavy rain, much of our weekend locally will be quiet, although we are expecting rain to sweep across our area by Sunday.
High pressure will build in through Saturday evening keeping any rain chances very minimal. We kick off the weekend Saturday with a mix of sun/clouds with much of the day and area looking great as dry weather will prevail. The only fly in the ointment Saturday would be a small risk for a few stray showers to develop in the afternoon heating along lake breezes. If that were to happen, the main areas affected would be along/east of highway US-131, but showers Saturday will be very brief if you do see them.
Skies clouds over Saturday night with a weather system now over Alberta, Canada arriving later Sunday. While a glimmer of the sun is possible early in the day, skies quickly cloud over with rain breaking out Sunday afternoon areawide into the overnight hours. High temperatures both weekend days will be up around the 70F mark.

What to do when you're hated at work
resize text | Tweet |
At some point in your career, you've probably felt disliked—or even hated—by someone at work. Maybe it was your boss, a co-worker, or someone in a different department you interacted with occasionally. Perhaps the person was trying to get you fired, make you look bad, or just cause you frustration and self-doubt. Does this sound familiar? Is it happening to you now?
Whoever it was and whatever they did, this person made your work-life miserable…and that's a serious problem for your career, your health, and all your other relationships. Recent medical studies from all over the world show that being around someone who negatively impacts you affects you physiologically as well as psychologically. These studies cite that everything from heart attacks to depression can result from an environment that's toxic to you. Notice the key phrase "toxic to you." Even though the environment might not be toxic to others, it might be toxic to you.
So what can you do when you're the target of someone's dislike? In reality, no matter who hates you or what they're doing to show it, you have three—and only three—options.
Option 1: Ignore it
You may be able to ignore the situation, especially if the person who hates you doesn't work with you directly, interacts with you infrequently, and isn't trying to get you in trouble. If the brunt of the problem consists of a few mean glances in the elevator or a cold shoulder in the break room, then ignoring it could be the answer. Sometimes you just need to develop thicker skin.
However, if you have a gnawing feeling in your gut every time you see the person, that means you can't ignore it. The feelings are taking their toll on you and will affect your health at some point. Remember, we're social beings, so feeling hated is stressful. Any additional stress will negatively affect you in some way. Therefore, it's time to look at option number two.
Option 2: Fix it
Yes, you can fix the situation. To do so, first realize your part in it. While most of us wouldn't lie to a trusted friend, we lie to ourselves every day. Something pivotal happened that caused this person to hate you. Identify it. Perhaps you were hired from the outside over them…maybe you got the nicer office they wanted…perhaps the boss liked your marketing idea better…possibly you reacted to their constructive criticism in a negative way…or maybe you mistakenly took their can of soda from the break room refrigerator thinking it was yours. Look back over the course of your relationship with the person and pinpoint when the negativity started and your role in it.
