Oneofmany,

You forgot “through”

I thought he would be the shabbos goy (jk)

Mitzvahgirl,

If you really want me to keep track of what you’re doing at all times (jk)

concernedmember,

teenager’s are illogical (ergo they have to be told to do it)

from pbs’s website

Giedd and his colleagues found that in an area of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, the brain appeared to be growing again just before puberty. The prefrontal cortex sits just behind the forehead. It is particularly interesting to scientists because it acts as the CEO of the brain, controlling planning, working memory, organization, and modulating mood. As the prefrontal cortex matures, teenagers can reason better, develop more control over impulses and make judgments better. In fact, this part of the brain has been dubbed “the area of sober second thought.”

The fact that this area was still growing surprised the scientists. Although they knew that the brain of a baby grew by over-producing synapses, or connections, they had not known that there was a second period of over-production. In a baby, the brain over-produces brain cells (neurons) and connections between brain cells (synapses) and then starts pruning them back around the age of three. The process is much like the pruning of a tree. By cutting back weak branches, others flourish. The second wave of synapse formation described by Giedd showed a spurt of growth in the frontal cortex just before puberty (age 11 in girls, 12 in boys) and then a pruning back in adolescence.

Even though it may seem that having a lot of synapses is a particularly good thing, the brain actually consolidates learning by pruning away synapses and wrapping white matter (myelin) around other connections to stabilize and strengthen them. The period of pruning, in which the brain actually loses gray matter, is as important for brain development as is the period of growth. For instance, even though the brain of a teenager between 13 and 18 is maturing, they are losing 1 percent of their gray matter every year.

Giedd hypothesizes that the growth in gray matter followed by the pruning of connections is a particularly important stage of brain development in which what teens do or do not do can affect them for the rest of their lives. He calls this the “use it or lose it principle,” and tells FRONTLINE, “If a teen is doing music or sports or academics, those are the cells and connections that will be hardwired. If they’re lying on the couch or playing video games or MTV, those are the cells and connections that are going to survive.”

If you guys want I’ll be the kitchen Mashgiach, I’ll make sure your computer has no bugs in it (the best thing though is to just get a filter, it keeps out bugs :P)

if you want to italicize replace the i with em, and you dont have to do it by every word

Pba-camp janitor

Sam2 camp rebbe

Wait is this a boys or girls camp

WAAAAAAA! That’s mean

YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!

please don’t April fools us and leave

Yeah,

They should join the yen (that’s what america will do soon anyway at the rate were going)

And you must have had an older screenname

Shticky,

Lolrotfl

Goq,

Did you win 250,000, one of the tix were sold in queens?

Of the lump sum, or 640 million (take in mind the lump sum is also before taxes)

thanks,

I might take up the offer

however I do agree that asking kids to collect is shnoring one of my other “experiences’ in Ner Yisrael

Tired: ran over

42,

lol,

personally I wouldn’t care about the national debt if I won, I would move straight away to Eretz Yisrael
