Usually, when audiences think of "scary" films, the horror genre comes to mind. One of the industry's most popular (and lucrative) genres, audiences have signed up over and over again to be terrified by a great slasher villain, some poltergeists, or demons possessing the soul of a loved one. Through the confines of this genre, filmmakers are able to craft suspenseful tales that have the potential to haunt us well after the movie is over. But goblins and ghouls aren't the only frightening things a film can showcase.
Throughout history, directors and screenwriters have mined the real-world fears that many people have to create a premise that rivals your typical paranormal pest in regards to scaring viewers to the point where the film changes their outlook on life (see: the number of people frightened of going in the water after Jaws). Often times, these movies are even scarier than a Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street due to their plausibility and horrifying implications. Here are Screen Rant's 5 Terrifying Real-World Movie Premises (That Aren't Horror).
6 Apollo 13
If you think fictionalized astronauts floating in space is scary (a la Gravity), then a similar tale that actually happened should be even worse. Ron Howard's cinematic telling of the failed Apollo 13 mission serves up plenty of tension and suspense - even if you already know how the captivating true story ends.
Making this (slightly) bearable is the fact that NASA is fully aware of the situation and their employees are hard at work to devise a way to get the astronauts home safely. Still, there are several obstacles Jim Lovell and his crew must overcome. The temperatures could freeze any of the crew to death and rising carbon dioxide levels are near-fatal. Due to the poor condition of their module, the protagonists are also unsure which systems (including the heat shield) are intact - making the reentry into Earth's atmosphere an extremely frightening trip.
The crew goes through a lot of emotions during Apollo 13 and after watching the treacherous ordeal, non-spacefarers will be happy they're on solid ground.
5 127 Hours
In this Oscar-nominated drama, James Franco stars as Aron Ralston, a lover of the outdoors who is always exploring the mountains in Utah. As he plans his latest weekend excursion, Ralston neglects to tell anyone where he is going. This crucial mistake comes back to haunt him when his arm gets trapped under a boulder and Ralston is left to his own devices as he struggles to survive over a period of… 127 Hours.
Anyone who has seen the film can attest to its scariness. Not only is the infamous arm-cutting sequence gruesome and unnerving, Ralston's entire predicament is more than enough to fill anyone with fear. Danny Boyle's shot selection, illustrating Ralston's loneliness, is particularly unsettling and the character's slow march towards his presumed death (punctuated by the emotional gut-punch of video messages to his family and friends) makes this one harrowing experience.
4 Cast Away
It's a running theme on our list, but a person going missing is one of the most terrifying things that can happen – whether it is in a movie or real life. A great film example of this is Robert Zemeckis's drama, Cast Away. Starring Tom Hanks as Chuck Noland, it tells the story of a FedEx employee whose world is turned upside down when he ends up stranded on a desert island following a plane crash (which, we should point out, is horrifying enough in it of itself). Even if you had the narrative spoiled for you in marketing, there's no denying that the actual premise is still a gut-wrenching one.
The movie provides an interesting "what would you do?" scenario to the audience and the scenes of Noland adapting to his new life are truly fascinating. But when you boil it down, Cast Away is a horrifying film. Despite the best intentions of Wilson, Noland is very much alone during his stay on the island, which taps into one of our most basic emotional fears. With nobody knowing where he is, the resourceful Noland spends years enduring scorching temperatures, fierce rainstorms, and hunger (not to mention, a failed suicide attempt). You'll want to rethink that island fantasy after seeing this film.
3 The Grey
The only thing worse than being trapped on a desert island is crashing into the Alaskan wilderness and being hunted by a pack of relentless wolves. That's exactly what happens to Liam Neeson's Ottway and his crew in 2012's survival-thriller The Grey.
Battling territorial wolves and a freezing climate, the group attempts to survive as they journey back to civilization. Scenes involving the wolves are particularly tense, but director Joe Carnahan makes sure there are other real-life dangers to deal with as well. The sequence in which the characters secure a makeshift line to pass through a canyon will make anybody afraid of heights cover their eyes.
Even if you eliminate the wolves, The Grey still works as a terrifying film due to the man vs. nature aspect. The cold weather would be enough to keep the stakes of this movie high, as it provides a great enough threat to kill any of the survivors.
2 Prisoners
If you're a parent, the idea of losing your children is without question your greatest fear. That's what makes 2013's Prisoners so effective. Even those without any offspring can feel sympathy for the Dovers and the Birches after their young daughters go missing on Thanksgiving. The overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and grief can drive even the friendliest family man insane.
Thoughts of lost girls is usually more than enough to amp up the tension in a drama, but Prisoners takes it one step further with the added element of torture. Not only is the film scary for Hugh Jackman's Keller Dover, Paul Dano's Alex Jones goes through his own terrifying ordeal as he is kidnapped and locked up in a house while Dover does unspeakable things to him.
A title with multiple meanings, Prisoners mines the depths of what it is to be both terrified and the terrorizer.
1 Conclusion
As we've illustrated, a movie doesn't need monsters, ghosts, or goblins to terrorize the audience - real life provides enough danger for any of us. Prestige pictures, contemplative dramas, and even worldwide blockbusters (like Titanic) can give any horror film a run for its money in the scare department - if the filmmakers place the characters in the right situations.
Our list (originally posted Oct 4, 2013) is not meant to be all-inclusive, so be sure to include your picks in the comments section below and let us know if you think a reality-based drama is just as scary (or scarier) than the latest horror hit.

Fest to Feature Colors, Sounds of Spring Arts Classes
May 3, 2012
It's spring and hence time for students to show off their creative work from more than 40 School of Arts and Humanities courses.
The Student Arts Spring Festival gives audiences the opportunity to take in classical music, jazz, theater, dance, guitar, piano and vocal performances, as well as an art exhibition and reception. The festival, which involves the work of more than 600 students, starts Thursday and stretches over two weeks.
Highlights for the first week include the Spring Dance Show, a visual arts reception and a concert from Musica Nova.
On Thursday, May 3, at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre, The Spring Dance Show will feature student works developed in UT Dallas' dance composition course. The show runs until Saturday.
A visual arts reception will be held on Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Visual Arts Building. Students will exhibit work produced throughout the year and judges will name their favorite pieces.
At 8 p.m., Musica Nova will perform in Jonsson Performance Hall. UT Dallas composer and professor of music Robert Xavier Rodríguez will direct the concert. Music faculty members Michael McVay and Winston Stone will play alongside guest violinist Chloé Trevor.
"We're happy to have violinist Chloé Trevor playing in the concert. She's a rising star in the musical world," said Rodríguez.
The concert is titled La Bonne Cuisine after Leonard Bernstein's song cycle based on French food recipes. All of the music is either French or inspired by French models.
"There will be a lot of variety – from Vierne's monumental Piano Quintet to a can-can by Satie," added Rodríguez.
Rodríguez said the concert sells out quickly each year and suggested attendees arrive early.
The full Student Arts Spring Festival schedule is available on the Art and Humanities website.
All events are free to UT Dallas students with valid student IDs. For more information, call (972) UTD-ARTS or email [email protected].

text: History of Mass. Eye and Ear In 1824, two young eye surgeons named John Jeffries and Edward Reynolds established a charitable eye clinic in Boston. Soon they began to treat ear diseases as well, and by the end of the nineteenth century, their small clinic had evolved into the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, a nationally recognized specialty institution. In 1900, Dr. Frederick Verhoeff, Mass. Eye and Ear's first full-time researcher/pathologist, established the first eye pathology laboratory in the United States and successfully established an endowed research department at Mass. Eye and Ear. Another milestone in the Mass. Eye and Ear's early history was the establishment of the first isolation accommodations for infectious patients in the pre-antibiotic era. Throughout its 193 year history, Mass. Eye and Ear has led clinical advances and research. Its emphasis on the pursuit of knowledge has resulted in many groundbreaking medical and patient-care discoveries. Mass. Eye and Ear has discovered new drugs, perfected new techniques, identified disease-causing genes and much more. Timeline of Mass. Eye and Ear Historic Milestones: 1824 : Boston Eye Infirmary opened "to alleviate suffering of less fortunate brethren" and to become a teaching center. 1827 : Incorporated as the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. 1866: First direct association with Harvard Medical School (HMS); clinical instruction given to Harvard students in Ophthalmology every Thursday morning. 1876: Annie Sullivan was Helen Keller's devoted teacher and companion who later became known to the world as "The Miracle Worker." Nearly blind herself, Annie regained her vision only after treatment by Dr. Henry Bradford at the Mass. Eye and Ear. Annie brought Helen to Dr. Bradford for treatment 20 years later. 1888: Clarence John Blake, M.D., named HMS Professor of Otology, head of the Department of Otology, and one of the rotating Chiefs of Otology at Mass. Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. He made lecture rooms and the clinic available for teaching HMS students and nursing students. Dr. Blake worked with Alexander Graham Bell on hearing research that led to Bell's invention of the telephone; devised middle ear speculum and snare for removing aural polyps. 1900: Harvard's ophthalmic and otolarygologic instruction was at the Mass. Eye and Ear, where it remains today. 1903-1939: The Mosher Course, famed HMS postgraduate course in head and neck anatomy, established and taught by Harris P. Mosher, M.D. 1923-1974: Varaztad H. Kazanjian, M.D., D.M.D., served as a member of the Mass. Eye and Ear staff, its first chief of the Plastic Surgery Service, and Harvard's first Professor of Plastic Surgery. He was known as "The Miracle man of the Western Front" for his treatment of soldiers in WWI. 1925: "Charitable" dropped from the hospital's name; now known as the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. 1928: Howe Laboratory of Ophthalmology initiated at Mass. Eye and Ear as a joint Mass. Eye and Ear/HMS venture. The Howe Library was opened at the hospital as a joint responsibility of Mass. Eye and Ear and Harvard. 1958: Eaton-Peabody Laboratory of Auditory Physiology was established. The lab is currently the largest hearing research facility in the world. 1969: Construction begins on the new Mass. Eye and Ear tower, completed in 1973. 1973: Construction begins on second tower. Completed in 1976. 1974: The Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations formally opens. The laboratory was conceived as a multi-disciplined research effort and represents a commitment of Mass. Eye and Ear and Harvard towards understanding the disease mechanisms involved in retinitis pigmentosa and the more than 30 related diseases that affect the retina. 1982: Mass. Eye and Ear audiologists develop technology to screen for and diagnose hearing loss in newborn babies. This technology is now used to screen the hearing of babies around the world. 1985: Joseph B. Nadol, Jr., M.D., named the 5th Chief of Otolaryngology, Mass. Eye and Ear, and Walter Augustus LeCompte Professor and Chair of Otology and Laryngology at Harvard Medical School. 1986: Found the Rb gene, the first known tumor-suppressor gene, which is altered in retinoblastoma and several other cancers. 1993: Development of a surgical method to restore speech, swallowing and normal breathing in patients with paralyzed vocal chords. 1993: Discovery of VEGF, a molecule implicated in diabetic retinopathy and AMD, the most common forms of blindness. Pioneered the use of photodynamic therapy for neovascular macular degeneration, which was FDA approved in 2000. 2003: Discovery of stem cells in the inner ear that were converted into mature hair cells, which may someday lead to ways of restoring lost hearing. 2003: Joan W. Miller, M.D., named Chief of Ophthalmology, Mass. Eye and Ear, and Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology, HMS. She is the first woman to hold this position at HMS and Mass. Eye and Ear. 2013: Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Longwood, a new outpatient surgical center at 800 Huntington Avenue in the Longwood/Mission Hill area of Boston, opened to patients. The site provides easy access to Mass. Eye and Ear's world-class physicians and surgeons, and outpatient services for those who are cared for by medical professionals in the Longwood Medical Area and other locations. The 90,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art center houses four operating rooms and the most advanced clinical spaces for ophthalmology (eye care), plus physician offices. 2014: D. Bradley Welling, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S., named as the 6th Chief of Otolaryngology for the Massachusetts Eye and Ear /Massachusetts General Hospital departments, Chairman of Otology and Laryngology for Harvard Medical School (HMS).

Born in Savannah, Georgia and raised in New England, Christopher Michael Friedrich was a man of integrity and strength, who believed his actions spoke louder than words.
Both kind and generous, he always thought of others before himself; whether it be letting a friend use his car, offering to pay for a meal, traveling to Africa to deliver medical supplies, or leaving a $2 tip for his $1.70 coffee.
Having attended Laconia Christian High School, he continued his education at Gordon College. It was there that he met the love of his life, Nadia. Fascinated and attracted to both their similarities and differences, he continued to pursue her; and eventually, after many years, he won her heart and married his love.
Having traveled the globe, there was nothing better to Chris then a drive in his car along the "Cape Ann 500", or a Sunday outdoor adventure at Appleton Farms. For Chris, nature was peace; and though plagued with frequent bouts of poison ivy, Chris never missed the opportunity to be in the outdoors. Chris had a passion for music, inspired in him as a young boy by the church, his older brother, and his parents. As a bass player for Caspian, he traveled to over 40 countries, and combined his passion for music with his love for the church to plan various benefit shows, including an Amirah fundraiser at the Old South Church.
At the core, Chris loved his family, and loved the community he was a part of. An incredible husband, loving son, loyal brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend, Chris will be truly missed and celebrated by those who knew and loved him. He is remembered dearly by his wife, Nadia, his parents Robert and Sandra, his brother David and sister-in-law Brooke, and his grandmother, Ruth Barton.
In an effort to support Chris' wife, Nadia, during this time and in lieu of flowers, we welcome donations to the "Christopher Friedrich Memorial Fund". Checks may be made out to "Christ Church" with "Christopher Friedrich Memorial Fund" in the memo line, sent to 149 Asbury St, South Hamilton, Ma 01982.
A celebration of the life of Christopher Friedrich held at the Church of the Advent, 30 Brimmer Street, Beacon Hill, Boston on Saturday, August 31 at 10am. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. Visiting hours and Community Remembrance will be held in the courtyard of Christ Church, 149 Asbury Street, Hamilton on Friday, August 30 from 4 to 8pm.

Strategies for Engaging Faculty and Institutional Leaders
A Report by Public Agenda for the Lumina Foundation's Higher Education Productivity Initiative (2010)
This report builds on and extends Public Agenda's ongoing research on the attitudes of various stakeholder groups toward higher education reform.[1] Here we explore the purpose and promise of more effective engagement of those stakeholders whoat first blush, at leastappear to express the deepest resistance to the productivity agenda: faculty. The report's driving questions are, what does it take to bridge the most pervasive divides in perception between productivity advocates and faculty, and what can be accomplished through deeper, more strategic engagement?[2]
In the course of exploring strategies to engage faculty as important partners in the pursuit of greater productivity, we have found it necessary to expand the scope of our inquiry somewhat to include institutional leaders more broadly. Because effective leadership is critical for driving and sustaining change efforts, it is important that faculty engagement be viewed as a critical component of a larger institutional engagement effort that also includes college presidents, senior administrators, trustees, chancellors and the like.
Faculty, and sometimes college leadership as well, have often been viewed by reformers as tangential to the development and enactment of productivity policies. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that these frontline stakeholders in higher education are, in fact, critical to the success of any productivity agenda. There is growing awareness among many productivity advocates that engaging such key stakeholders in strategic ways at each step in the policy processfrom development to implementation to sustainabilityis key to generating the sense of shared purpose necessary for long-term success. Still, many questions remain about how best to engage those stakeholders who are typically most resistant to productivity agendas.
The insights and strategies summarized in this report are drawn from three focus groups with faculty at both two-year and four-year institutions and roughly 25 in-depth, one-on-one interviews conducted with college presidents, higher education researchers, representatives of collective bargaining associations, disciplinary associations, accrediting bodies, professional development organizations serving faculty, and representatives from a wide range of higher education consortia. [3]
Regardless of the type of stakeholder interviewed, the questions we asked revolved around the same themes: Can faculty be more effectively engaged around the productivity agenda? Should they be? If so, what would more effective engagement of faculty look like, and what is to be gained? When conducting focus groups with faculty at both two-year and four-year institutions, we explored alternative approaches to framing the productivity agenda, different strategies for opening up constructive dialogue with faculty about productivity and different avenues for faculty participation in the agenda in order to identify the conditions under which faculty were able to move past their more predictable negative reactions and begin to view themselves as co-owners of this difficult work.
As a result of these conversations, we believe that faculty can and must be engaged more effectively in the productivity agenda for lasting gains to be made. Most important, our findings suggest that more effective engagement is indeed possible and that the current economic and educational climate is conducive to the development of several particularly promising strategies. This is not to say that the job of bridging the gaps between faculty and more natural allies of the productivity agenda will be simple or easy, but evidence suggests that establishing a shared sense of purpose and a constructive working relationship with faculty is both necessary and possible.
[1] See, for example, the following Public Agenda reports: Squeeze Play (2009, 2010); Campus Commons (2009); and The Iron Triangle (2008).
[2] The Lumina Foundation for Educations Productivity Initiative centers on their "big goal" to increase the percentage of Americans with high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025. To achieve Goal 2025, Lumina and their partners/stakeholders are focusing on three policy priorities: (1) increase and reward completion; (2) generate and reinvest savings; and (3) educate and train in affordable ways.
[3] While three new faculty focus groups were conducted in 2010 for this memo (in Minneapolis, MN, Austin, TX, and Phoenix, AZ), we also drew on the set of faculty focus groups conducted in 2009 for our Campus Commons report. Also, to encourage candor, we guaranteed individual interviewees that we would not directly attribute quotes to individuals in the report. Instead, we provide generalized attributions by stakeholder type and provide a complete list of interviewees at the end of the report.
This report builds on and extends Public Agenda's ongoing research on the attitudes of various stakeholder groups toward higher education reform. (2010)

ON THE MOUND: Nearly three weeks after the Dodgers broke camp, veteran left-hander Paul Maholm made his first start for his new team. The pitcher who replaced a sidelined Clayton Kershaw in gave up five runs and seven hits over 41/3 innings. Maholm gave up two home runs, including a three-run home run to Pablo Sandoval in the fifth inning that increased the Giants' lead to 5-1. With the bullpen depleted by Hyun-Jin Ryu's two-inning start Friday, the Dodgers were forced to use the likes of Kenley Jansen, J.P. Howell and Chris Perez in a blowout loss.
BOX SCORE: Giants 7, Dodgers 2
AT THE PLATE: The Dodgers couldn't do much against Madison Bumgarner, who struck out 10 batters over 6 1/3 innings. Juan Uribe doubled in a run in the second inning to tie the score, 1-1. But the Dodgers didn't score again until the seventh inning, when Andre Ethier singled with the bases loaded to drive in Scott Van Slyke. Third base coach Lorenzo Bundy also sent home A.J. Ellis on the play, even though there were two outs and Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez were due up. Ellis was thrown out at the plate. The Dodgers challenged the call, but the call stood.
EXTRA BASES: Josh Beckett's ankle was described as sore by Manager Don Mattingly, the remnant of an injury suffered by the veteran right-hander in his start with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday night. Ideally, the Dodgers would like for Beckett to pitch Wednesday. With the Dodgers scheduled for a day off Thursday, that would allow Hyun-Jin Ryu to make his next start on six-days' rest. If Beckett can't pitch, the Dodgers could start Ryu on regular rest or call up a pitcher such as Matt Magill from the minor leagues. Beckett was said to be looking sharp until he was hurt fielding a fifth-inning bunt. Settling down after a rough first inning, he was touching 93 mph with his fastball, according to a scout in attendance who spoke under the condition of anonymity. Before Beckett was injured, the scout said, "He's ready."
UP NEXT: Zack Greinke (1-0, 3.60) will make his second start of the season when he faces the Giants and Matt Cain (0-0, 3.60) at Dodger Stadium at 5 p.m. On the air: TV: ESPN2. Radio: 570, 1020 (Spanish).

Hi there,
Hopefully the mathematics community can help me out this one, I'm currently studying my senior capstone at my college, and decided to do some research on a chapter in Stanley Farlow's book "Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers". Basically in one of the chapters he describes a way one can create a game to approximate solutions to PDE's by using the various difference formula's.
Farlow gives a few examples in his book. Namely the dirichlet problem on a square with the laplace equation, however I'd like to extend this result to parabolic and hyperbolic PDE's, and then eventually extend those results to 3-dimensional games. My problem is that I'm unable to find any past research using game theory in this manner other than this one chapter in this book. And I'm not sure if my own foundation in numerical solutions is good enough to do this thing on my own. In other words, I need help.
To give an example of what the game is, start with an nxm lattice, then pick an interior point and run a Monte Carlo simulation that computes random walks from any point $u_{i,j}$ on the lattice to a bound. The game ends when the player hits the bound, and is then given a value(prize) that depends on the boundry/initial conditions. It turns out that the solution to the pde using finite difference equations at that point is the average of the four neighboring points, and so on. Here are some of the questions I NEED to answer, and it would be of great help if I could get some direction on them:
Do you think the random walks on the bounded lattice are self avoiding? I.e. Can the player intersect with the path they've already made? This would definitely change the outcome of the probabilities of a player reaching the bound.
Are there any other good undergraduate-ish texts/resources that give examples of employing finite difference methods on nonlinear PDE's and PDE's with variable coefficients such as $u_{xx} + \sin(x)u_{yy}=0$? (with appropriate boundary/initial conditions) Or just good undergrad resources in general for numerical methods for PDE's? I've gone to my library to check some books out, and some of them are way way way over my head, so I've got to be careful.
What would be the best way to code such a program to compute these walks? I'm pretty sure it's doable in both Mathematica and C++, as to what kind of plan I would make to write it..I've no idea yet.(Making the program would answer definitively if the walks are self avoiding or not)
Google books has a slice of the chapter online, http://books.google.com/books?id=DLUYeSb49eAC&pg=PA347&lpg=PA347&dq=%22tour+du+wino%22&source=bl&ots=vmsz2z6uAP&sig=rZiqwWJ8ESgokmYmBga8qtGVG8U&hl=en&ei=dEaOTp26EeTKsQLg1LymAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22tour%20du%20wino%22&f=false
I wish there was someone like Erdos who could just have insane memory to remember past papers on a topic.

Willie Nelson, 'Heroes' – Album Review
Willie Nelson's new album 'Heroes' is an eclectic collection of ambient emo-country, Texas swing and jazzy ballads. The singer isn't confined by the country genre on any of the 14 songs. No one will ever doubt his credentials, so even songs like 'The Scientist' feel like one Hank Sr. may have chosen decades ago. OK, perhaps that's an exaggeration, but few other singers could give the political lyric the proper twang.
'Every Time He Thinks of Her' is one highlight on this project, in stores May 15. His son Lukas Nelson — who is deserving of having his name on the album jacket — joins his father for the most pure three minutes on the project.
The younger Nelson is a welcome addition to nine songs on 'Heroes.' Other guest artists include Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard, Sheryl Crow, Ray Price, Micah Nelson, Snoop Dogg and Kris Kristofferson. On at least one occasion ('Come on Up to the House'), the mix feels too much like an award show, but that's a finicky complaint. One is left to wonder if Nelson no longer believes he can carry an entire album as he approaches 80-years-old, but he shows no cracks on 'The Scientist' or 'That's All There is to This Song.'
'Hero' and 'The Sound of Your Memory' are tracks to skip as the plodding beat and lazy harmonica playing do little to add to the project. 'Cold War With You' is a confusing moment on 'Heroes.' It's as if a female singer backed out on the love song and the opportunistic Lukas Nelson was standing by ready to fill in.
From start to finish, 'Heroes' is a artistically satisfying album full of colorful lyrics and patient, skilled musicianship ('Home in San Antone' being a fine example of the latter). But it's not an album to dial up for a long jog or a road trip. The mood is similar to the recent one of duets Tony Bennett produced.

At the end of the day, the answer's pretty simple isn't it?
When you bind your abilities, as many of them you can to keys, it can do a lot of things for you during the course of your adventures in Azeroth.
Primarily, keybinding a giant chunk of your abilities will serve the purpose of speeding up your reaction time with said abilities and, speaking as a tank, that's definitely not a bad thing. Even if it's a somewhat more obscure ability, one that you never use that often, if you have it keybound and are in the habit of hitting it when the situation arises, that's something that will play to your benefit.
But like many things, there actually is a hidden cost to keybinding, even though it's one that's not directly related to the role of tanking.
See, the thing is, the more abilities that you bind, the more of a demand it'll take on you to remember exactly where you placed each ability and the longer it'll take to really get used to it and to start acting on it as muscle memory instead of having to take the time to deliberate and remember where you bound ability X.
The problems really start to arise when you start trying to shift around an ability or two. Maybe you want to experiment a bit and try to add in some other abilities into your regular rotation and you'll find yourself feeling incredibly awkward for a while as you keep on forgetting that you've moved things around and hitting the wrong abilities at the wrong times.
Worse if when you spend a bit of time an extended period away from tanking, be it to spend some time with a couple two handers dealing damage or maybe even heading off to try another class or another game entirely then suddenly be forced back into the tanking role, many of us can have a bit of a hard time suddenly readjusting to the memory of the keybinds that we had.
As mentioned before, if you only have a row of abilities bound, your readjustment period will obviously be a lot shorter compared to if you were to bind almost your entirely spellbook.
It's important to find a bit of a balance when it comes to those bindings between what you're sure you'll use often versus those abilities that are NOT life saving that you'll need fairly rarely.
Making those choices early on can often make a huge difference when it comes to readjusting to your tanking skillset when you need to come back to it after a short or long absence.
This is not to say that binding a large chunk of your abilities is bad, not by any means.
Just that a little more discretion when you choose which ones to bind can be helpful over the long run.

YouTube Fixes Justin Bieber Death/Porn Exploit
Justin Bieber is still alive, don't worry (or celebrate, as the case may be). Also, don't click on any YouTube link that claims anything to the contrary. Over the weekend, hackers discovered a YouTube exploit and placed code in the comments section of pages that redirected viewers to adult sites when the video was played.
The redirect exploited a YouTube cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability using JavaScript and HTML code. According to the BBC, hackers also used code to create a pop-up screen informing the viewer that teen pop icon Justin Bieber was killed in a car crash.
According to YouTube's parent company, Google, the exploit was patched up about 2 hours after it was made know to the video site.

PUBG Patch 4.2 Rolls Out
PUBG has rolled out a new patch, patch 4.2, and with it comes a number of small features that have been on the wishlists of many of their dedicated players for a long time.
You can find the full patch notes below, courtesy of their official post.

Improved Visibility of Reticles Against Bright Backgrounds
- Visibility of all sight and scope reticles against bright backgrounds (such as Vikendi snowfields) has been slightly improved.
Throwables Friction Adjustment
Adjusted the friction force of throwables to make rolling movement more consistent and predictable.
- Smoke Grenades
Friction force has been increased to slow rolling speed and cause them to roll a shorter distance after impacting surfaces.
- Stun Grenades & Frag Grenades
Friction force has been decreased to speed up the rolling speed and increase distance they can travel after impacting surfaces.
Vehicle Engine Toggle
- Vehicle engines can now be turned off/on by pressing 'Z'.
The engine can be turned off while driving, after gaining momentum and can be used for quiet, tactical maneuvers.
Once the engine is off, pressing 'W' to accelerate or 'Z' will start the engine again.
Vehicle engines will automatically be turned off if the vehicle stays at a standstill for 8 seconds, or 2 seconds after the driver disembarks.
Sound QoL Improvements
- Added master volume preview
- The master volume can now be previewed while in the menu, to better allow users to set their preferred maximum volume level.
This can be founder under Settings – Audio – Sound – Master volume and by clicking on the 'play' button.

This new feature temporary decreases the volume of games sound effects to facilitate more clear communication with teammates.
Use 'F7' to reduce game master volume, while maintaining the volume of voice chat.

- When a match starts with overcast weather on Erangel, the weather will change dynamically over the course of the match between overcast, windy, hail, light rain, heavy rain (rain with lightning and thunder), and fog.
Destructible Objects on Erangel
- Additional destructible pylons and barricades have been added to Erangel. They can be destroyed by vehicles, weapons and explosions, but do provide a limited amount of cover until they are destroyed.
Some existing objects which were previously indestructible are now destructible, such as the traffic cones in Mylta.
Vikendi Ambient Noise Adjustment
- Volume of Vikendi's ambient wind noise has been reduced.
Removal of PUBG Esports Signage

- Weapon firing mode is now represented visually by icons, instead of text.
- To reduce unnecessary clutter, certain HUD and UI elements are no-longer displayed when waiting to start a match.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Archived News Release — Caution: Information may be out of date.
Press Releases
Date: Aug. 15, 2012
Contact: Scott Allen or Rhonda Burke
Phone: (312) 353-6976
U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 12-1459-KAN
Peninsula Gaming assessed $9,300 in penalties for child labor violations, pays more than $46,000 in back wages following US Labor Department investigations
Fair Labor Standards Act violations found at 2 Diamond Jo Casinos in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The U.S. Department of Labor has assessed $9,300 in civil money penalties against Dubuque-based Peninsula Gaming LLC after investigations by the department's Wage and Hour Division found that teens employed at the company's Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood performed hazardous jobs prohibited by the Fair Labor Standards Act's child labor provisions. The investigations also disclosed violations of the FLSA's overtime pay and record-keeping requirements, resulting in back wages totaling $46,531 recovered for 32 employees at both the Diamond Jo Casino and the company's Diamond Jo Riverboat Casino in Dubuque.
Investigators found that minor employees at the Northwood casino were allowed to load and operate trash compactors in violation of the FLSA's Hazardous Occupations Order No. 12, which generally prohibits workers under 18 from operating, loading or unloading trash compactors. The overtime violations at both casinos are due to the company incorrectly classifying employees as exempt from the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime requirements. Consequently, workers were paid a flat salary that did not include the additional half-time premium due on hours worked beyond 40 in a week. Finally, the company failed to properly record employees' hours worked. All back wages owed have been paid in full.
"The Wage and Hour Division is committed to keeping young employees safe in the workplace and to ensuring that all employees are paid a premium for overtime work when they are entitled to it," said Michael Staebell, director of the Wage and Hour Division's Des Moines District Office, which conducted the investigations. "Employers must understand that correctly classifying employees as exempt or nonexempt is critical to complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act."
The FLSA establishes a minimum age of 18 for workers in those nonagricultural occupations that the secretary of labor declares to be particularly hazardous for 16- and 17-year-old workers or detrimental to their health or well-being. A list of hazardous occupations prohibited for minors is available on the Wage and Hour Division's website at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/docs/haznonag.asp. Additional information on child labor rules can be found at http://www.youthrules.dol.gov/index.htm.
The FLSA requires that covered, nonexempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Employers also are required to maintain accurate time and payroll records.
The FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for individuals employed in bona fide executive, administrative, professional and outside sales positions, as well as certain computer employees. To qualify for exemption, employees generally must meet certain tests regarding their job duties and be paid on a salary basis at not less than $455 per week. Job titles do not determine exemption status. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee's specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the department's regulations.
For more information about the FLSA including its youth employment regulations, or other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Mark Sanchez has at least one supporter in his corner after being benched Sunday and then having to watch Greg McElroy lead the New York Jets to a win over the Arizona Cardinals. We're just not sure how much this helps the quarterback's cause.
|Take a look back at Sanchez's career.
Former teammate Braylon Edwards took to Twitter to defend Sanchez.
"Don't blame Sanchez. I played there. Blame the idiots calling shots. Mark is a beast and will prove it when given a proper chance," Edwards tweeted Monday night.
The problem is Edwards has a certain reputation around the NFL. His words tend to be taken with a certain grain of salt.
We're not completely disagreeing with Edwards here. The Jets' offensive issues aren't all on Sanchez, but he is on pace to throw more interceptions than touchdowns for the first time since his rookie year. Sanchez has not played well by any stretch of the imagination, and the pass offense ranks No. 28 in the NFL.
That's not all on Sanchez. He needs more help to be playoff competitive. But it's not all on "the idiots" either.
UPDATE: Edwards tweeted an apology Tuesday for his "outburst".
I would like to apologize to the Jets family and my fans for my emotional outburst.Mark is a friend and former teammate, who I...â Braylon Edwards (@OfficialBraylon) December 4, 2012
...wholeheartedly support.Nonetheless, I have disrespected and insulted an administration that I have the utmost respect for.â Braylon Edwards (@OfficialBraylon) December 4, 2012

Meet OSIRIS-REx, the NASA probe with the kingly name, which will be the first craft to visit an asteroid and bring pieces back to Earth. The probe, whose name stands for Origins Spectral-Interpretation Resource-Identification Security Regolith Explorer, launches in 2016.
NASA selected this proposal over two other candidates for its New Frontiers Program: a sample-collecting mission from the dark side of the Moon, and a visit to the surface of Venus. The probe will visit asteroid 1999 RQ36, which is expected to pass within 280,000 miles of Earth's orbit, and has thus been classified as a potentially hazardous object. Scientists believe RQ36 is rich in organic compounds, but we don't know which ones yet.
NASA scientists say this mission is an important step towards President Obama's goal of getting humans into deep space.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- The owners of the Aqueduct Race Track, New York City's first casino, said the grand opening has been delayed due to pigeon droppings in the building.
Genting Resorts World New York said the more than $15 million it has spent to clean up the building, which first opened in 1894, includes funds for removing pigeon droppings from the floors, ceilings and walls of the facility, the New York Post reported Monday.
The company said the grand opening of the casino has been pushed back to fall in part due to the cleanup efforts.
The city Health Department said the pigeon poo represents a "small health risk" for conditions including cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis and psittacosis.

"Union Station is one of Los Angeles' most iconic and versatile movie locations," film historian and co-author of "Location Filming in Los Angeles" Harry Medved said. "It affords a variety of looks in one single venue: from the gleaming white Spanish exterior to the grand sweeping hallways to its art deco restaurant and intimate outdoor garden patios. When you walk into Union Station, you can't help but feel as if you have stepped into a film noir scene from the 1940s, as much of it has that timeless Any Town, USA, feel."
Timing is another, often overlooked aspect of the structure's appeal for filmmakers.
Opened in 1939, Union Station took awhile to lure the then studio-bound industry off of its nearby lots. A few low-budget comedies first ventured there (the Internet Movie Database lists the 1940 "Blondie Plays Cupid" and "Star Dust" as early adapters). "Watch on the Rhine" (1943) was among a handful of war effort productions to take what should have been obvious advantage of the station's perfect backgrounds for traveling troops and displaced civilians.
In the postwar era, however, it became economically and technically feasible to shoot on real locations, and audiences started to expect that extra touch of naturalism.
Low-budget film noir, especially, got extra bang for their limited bucks at the visually striking downtown depot. "Criss Cross" (1949), "Too Late for Tears" ('49), "The Company She Keeps" (1951), "Cry Danger" ('51) and the totally railroad-centric "The Narrow Margin" (1952) all exploited the facility's platforms and waiting room.
And of course, there was the 1950's "Union Station," starring the "Sunset Blvd." pair of William Holden and Nancy Olson. The film was actually set at Chicago's Union Station, but there's no mistaking its totally L.A. look.
Those images have been catnip for later generations of neo-noir filmmakers. "The Hustler" (1961), "Marlowe" (1969), "Chandler" (1971), "The Driver" (1978), "True Confessions" (1981), "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985), "Bugsy" (1991), "The Italian Job" (2003) and "Gangster Squad" (2013) all shot scenes there. Perhaps the strangest, and definitely the funniest, among those was Carl Reiner's hard-boiled satire "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" (1982), in which Steve Martin stomps around the place with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.
Union Station came to represent Hollywood nostalgia in other movies, too, such as "The Way We Were" (1973), "Gable and Lombard" (1976), "Under the Rainbow" (1981), "In the Mood" (1987) and "The Majestic" (2001).
"It is one of those rare places in Los Angeles that, when you walk into it, it looks exactly like it did in the 1950s," Medved noted. "The tellers, the arches, the chandeliers, the hallways; they're all the same."
Union Station was also part of L.A.'s dystopian future in the seminal "Blade Runner" (1982) — and, more recently, the fictitious Gotham City's in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). "Dreamscape" (1984), "Species" (1995) and "Drag Me to Hell" (2009) are some other fantasy films that employed the location.
Other productions that have shot there include "Silver Streak" (1976), "Pearl Harbor" (2001), "Friends with Benefits" (2011) and such TV shows as "The Mentalist," NCIS: Los Angeles" and "24."

Glorifies other sports players too, though. Expects baseball, hockey, and/or soccer to qualify. Why are cheerleaders absent in those? (Apparently added cheerleaders (or something similar) to certain hockey teams, admittedly.) Brings cheerleaders to male and female basketball games too.
I expect it has to do with how prominent the sport is in college sports, and especially how prominent it was when colleges were introducing cheerleading. Except for hockey. I think the cheerleaders would just get cold if they had to cheer on ice.
Hockey has cheerleaders. They don't usually go on the ice, except maybe a number during the intermissions. I was at a hockey game a few weeks ago, and the cheerleaders were in the stands with the crowd, would give a cheer during an stoppage in play, then move to the next section.

Sixty-nine percent of families have moved to a new home at least once during their children's lifetime, and 18 percent of families have moved three or more times, according to a recent Rent.com survey.
The survey also discovered:
— 54 percent of parents worry about their children's apprehensions about a move.
— Other concerns include timing (31 percent), moving day logistics (27 percent) and motivation (22 percent).
— More than half of American children worry most about making new friends at school or in their neighborhood, 18 percent wonder if they'll feel at home in the new place and 14 percent feel anxious about getting acclimated to the new neighborhood.
When choosing a new home, 61 percent of parents said a safe neighborhood is the most important factor, and nearly a quarter of parents believe that a living space large enough for the entire family to live in comfortably is equally important.
One third of children want their own bedrooms, 27 percent wish for a neighborhood with other kids their own age and 25 percent pine for a big backyard.

So the question comes, when am I to make these threads for each chapter? After the episode airs in Japan, or after all the "fansub" groups finished that chapter? So it seems that the fansubs finished the Onikakushi-hen chapter, I can go and make a discussion section for Onikakushi-hen. However, Watanagashi-hen finished over here in Japan, but no "fansub" group has finished it yet (and possibly only one will this weekend). Will it be "safe" to say to make a Watanagashi-hen thread even though other people have not watched that chapter in it's entireity due to reasons of choosing whether to watch a non-subtitled Japanese "raw," or preference over certain "fansub" groups?

So in order to avoid this, I write a statement to only see this thread after you've seen ALL the four episodes pertaining to that specific chapter. Would everyone agree to this part? If you see it without watching the ALL of that chapter, it is that person's own responsibility. Is this agreeable?

I remember my original reason for asking for separate chapter arcs was mainly for organization purposes. The biggest concern was cross-referencing between threads for theories. The hardest part is getting people to realize this and writing in the "correct" threads.
If you do decide to create separate threads for each chapter, it should be for the start of the first episode starting that chapter. Let comments, opinions, raves and rants about quality in animation and translation be for eps threads. Let more speculation, theories and guesswork about what the hell is going on be in the chapter arcs and general theory.
Also, IMHO, let people know it contains spoilers because personally I'm getting tired of using SPOILER tags. If someone truly is reading chapter arcs for theories and speculations without watching the show, he/she deserves to get spoiled. I think SPOILER tags should be for info from the game that's not in the anime or are true game plot spoiler points the viewer is not aware of yet.
Edited: Wow, like 4 comments added that I didn't read while I wrote this, so if you think my comments are directed to you in a harsh way, it's probably because I wasn't aware of it at the time.

Okay, let me rephrase: what makes it difficult right now between discussing each pertaining episode and a singular general theory section that we have now? If you've seen up to Ep.8, you can write your thoughts on Ep. 8 thread. If you want to discuss it overall, you have the general discussion section. Do we really need to have more subdivisions? Wouldn't that make things more complicated, if not on your end, but on moderating ends as well?
As for spoiler tags, the rule stands. I have far too many seen the loss of interest for blurting out spoilers from the Fate thread, and I do not wish to allow ANY game spoiler whatsoever in the thread (except for the thread noted as game spoiler).

Personally for me, my true feelings are that I don't care one way or another at this point. I've been with the show since the beginning and have read the threads here in and out enough to know when and where certain members have made their comments. The number of people who currently currently contributing is fairly small and it's not difficult to maneuver around to find overlapping comments across the board. The only thing I do think about is the momentum of new fans coming to the show and to this board, but at the rate things are going, it doesn't seem bad. So that's my 2 cents.
I mean seriously, you think people would stop watching when they hear about a

Though I think you have a good idea if you just switch it to the first episode in a chapter.

Plus since it's just one general theory thread, then people who do catch on late probably end up spoiling themselves by reading something they don't understand until they are caught up with the series.
I suppose you could only start a new thread for each chapter after that chapter has already finished airing in Japan, and not so much wait for the fansubs since we can't predict when they will be released. Plus should a late comer have a question or theory, then it's still in line with the current'ness of the thread?
Sorry if I bring up the possibility of 'late comers' but I just watched the wind fansubs because I couldn't wait for Ayu any longer, and I'm flat out hooked.

I still have little doubts for yet another thread, but I've created them to see how it works out. If it works out fine, then that's great. If it starts degenerating or if it isn't serving it's purpose, it'll be abolished. Everyone agree?

I would like to propose a thread to discuss which were the scariest moments for the Higurashi fans not only about the anime but also both the manga and the game in particular.
However, the most glaring drawback I see on this proposal is that some veteran fans, who have already played through the game or read the latest manga arcs, will slip heavy spoilers concerning the other "arcs" which the anime has not aired yet. Considering that the Tsumihoroboshi-hen arc has started, and the anime will only cover two out of the four "answer" arcs: Meakashi-hen and Tsumihoroboshi-hen.

Can we have a Poll Thread for "Favorite Higurashi Character(s) + Why" after the anime finishes? The poll should be multiple-choice, and people should be able to select as many or few options as they want.
I was thinking that it'd be interesting to have two of these polls, one right after Onikakushi-hen and the other after Tsumihoroboshi-hen, to see how people's views on the characters change. But bah, it's too late for #1...

The only question is what characters to include in the poll, we can have a fair number (but I think we should limit it to under 20 choices). I've only seen up to ep 13 so I'm not the best person to make the choice. Wiki lists 21 characters altogether.
The poll will be multiple choice and public (similar to the "Favourite Character" polls in the other series specific forums).

Perhaps there should be a thread about stuff the anime left out from the game after it ends. It seems as if the anime is leaving a lot of details out, and after reading this post
and finding out more about the twins, I believe it would be beneficial to everyone if we were to find out everything that is missing.

This is my ____ face
Maebara Keiichi
Ryugu Rena
Sonozaki Mion
Hojo Satoko
Furude Rika
Sonozaki Shion
Hojo Satoshi
Kuraudo Oishi
Irie Kyosuke
Tomitake Jiro
Takano Miyo
Akasaka Mamoru
(Basically anyone who appears on-screen for multiple episodes and stands a high chance of dying)
Other characters to consider, but I'm not sure if they're important enough:
Sonozaki Oryo - The Sonozaki Head and onibaba.
Kimiyoshi Kiichiro - The Village Head; Shion suspects him of demoning away Satoshi in at least one arc.
Chie Rumiko - Teacher; most significant action was reporting Satoko's abuse, which fails.
Tatsuyoshi Kasai - Shion's bodyguard; he is kind of cool, but really doesn't do much on-screen other than wearing an apron.
Hojo Teppei - Child abuser, womanizer, alcoholic. I'm not sure who would like this guy; at least he dies at the bat of Keiichi in one arc. He is significant factor in driving the events of Tatarigoroshi-hen.
Hojo Tamae - Appears and dies rather quickly. Significant only in that she represents the 4th year's Oyashiro-sama's Curse.
Furude Ha'nyu - Doesn't even appear in the anime, I think. Nevermind.

Fueled by Proposition 30's additional sales and income taxes, California has jumped from 11th highest tax burden to sixth highest nationwide, according to new projections released Tuesday by the Tax Foundation.
Californians will work until April 24 to earn enough to pay all local, state and federal taxes and fees for the year, according to the Tax Foundation. That "Tax Freedom Day," as the Tax Foundation dubs it, is four days later than in 2012. The national average is April 18, five days later than in 2012.
"Both higher taxes and rebounding incomes contribute to this year's date," according to the foundation's Richard Morrison.
On the bright side, both the national and state numbers are notably lower than the national high point of May 1 in 2000.
Connecticut continues to have the latest Tax Freedom Day, May 13. It's followed by New York (May 6) and New Jersey (May 4). Mississippi and Louisiana have the lowest tax burden, with Tax Freedom Day arriving March 29
The rankings are based on projections gathered from state and federal agencies, Morrison said.
California now has the highest sales taxes in the country at 7.5 percent. When you tally the combined state and average local sales tax, the amount is 8.38 percent, dropping the state to ninth highest nationwide. Highest is Tennessee at 9.44 percent.
The sales tax got a temporary 1/4-cent boost when voters approved Prop. 30 in November as part of a plan minimize further cuts to education. The measure also increased income tax on earnings over $250,000. The ballot measure, approved by 55.4 percent of voters, is expected to raise $6 billion annually for the next four years. The sales-tax increase expires after four years, while the income-tax boost lasts for seven years.
The foundation does not rank revenue projections of each type of tax, but does rank each tax once final data is in. California's most recent rankings in specific tax revenues, as I mentioned last month:
- State personal income tax per capita in 2011 was $1,346, sixth highest. The national average was $835. New York topped the list at $1,864.
- State corporate income tax collections per capita in 2011 was $256, fifth highest. The national average was $129. Alaska topped the list at $1,003.
- Average homeowner property tax as a percentage of a home's value was 0.8 percent in 2011, 33rd highest. New Jersey topped the list at 1.98 percent.
- Combined excise taxes – including those for gas, alcohol, cigarettes and phones – were $325 per capita, 45th highest in 2011. The national average was $475. Vermont topped the list at $866.
The Tax Foundation sends copies of the annual report to each of the nation's state legislators and governors. It advocates for "simplicity, transparency, stability, broad bases and low rates" for taxes. It tends to lean right of center in its analysis and advocacy, while the Tax Policy Center tends to lean left of center. Both groups are nonpartisan, and while their interpretation of data can vary, their statistics are usually virtually identical.
Regarding the state's property taxes, you may be interested in my story about nine pending bills that would tweak aspects of Proposition 13's protections.
