D-BOX Technologies, the makers of the motion seat, have recently announced that an East Brunswick movie theater will be the first in NJ to install the motion seats which move in sync with the action which is being visualized. The Mega Movie Theater on route 18 will have 26 of the seats available starting Friday, for the viewing of the movie “TRON: Legacy.”
Vice president of marketing for D-BOX Guy Marcoux explained that “The D-BOX experience offers moviegoers a new, immersible way to view movies. These motion effects are subtle and refined sensations that move seats in perfect sync with the action onscreen. There’s even the option to adjust the individual motion seat, allowing moviegoers to modify the amount of motion during the experience.”

Avalanches are especially deadly, and can occur with no warning. Researchers from the University of Calgary are digging into the snowpack to discover more about the cause of the slides. Dr. Bruce Jamieson, a researcher for Avalanche Risk Control, described an especially dangerous type of avalanche; “An entire plate of snow- it could be a meter deep or more at the snow surface and sometimes that slab is sitting on a melt-freeze crust.” He explained that if the bond between the layer of new snow and the layer of frozen crust beneath it is weak, there is a potential for this type of avalanche, which is one that is very difficult to predict. 
A folded solar sail was ejected from a small NASA satellite on Monday, demonstrating a significant success in NASA’s attempts to develop and install solar-sail technology. The ejected device is called NanoSail-D, and is approximately the size of a loaf of bread. It was launched by a FASTSAT satellite.
The incredible revolution caused by the computer and the internet is raising issues of what are appropriate and not appropriate behaviors on-line. For instance, Facebook has recently exploded with users, and those on Facebook are being forced to makes social choices which will determine what acceptable social media behavior will be in the future. This is entirely different than the way societal norms develop in the world of human, face-to-face interactions, which are learned over time from parents, teachers and peers. Of course manners and what are acceptable behavior changes with each new generation, but the evolution is usually slower and more natural. Today adults as well as youth are being on a sharp learning curve and must come to grapple with what to do.
