17 Lumia 900 introductory video Windows Phone News By George Ponder, Thursday, Jan 12, 2012 at 2:18 pm EST Nokia has added an introductory video on the Nokia Lumia 900 over at their YouTube site. The ninety-plus second video touches on all aspects of the new Windows Phone heading to AT&T. From the polycarbonate uni-body to the 4G LTE network, the Lumia 900 is definitely a head turner.

31 WPCentral interview with Microsoft & Nokia at CES '12 Windows Phone NewsFeatured By Daniel Rubino, Wednesday, Jan 11, 2012 at 1:52 am EST WPCentral was lucky enough today to sit down with Nokia's senior vice president, Windows Phone program management Kevin Shields and Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President, Windows Phone program management. Perhaps not surprisingly, the focus was on Nokia, the Lumia 900, re-entering the US market and anything else would could think to ask. Having said that, sorry folks, no new feature announcements were revealed about the Windows Phone OS as both gentlemen outsmarted our attempts. (We're betting on Mobile World Congress next month for more info on "Tango"). The interview, all 25 minutes of it, can be seen above and we think it is quite interesting, especially as we ask about what are Microsoft's and Nokia's biggest challenges in the US, how did the Lumia 900 come to be (including the design process), what should we expect from the LTE experience and more. Clearly Microsoft is expecting Windows 8 to add another "jolt" to Windows Phone in 2012 and we couldn't agree more. In addition, we had some more hands-on time with the Lumia 900 and folks, we're really excited about this beauty as it is quite the Windows Phone. More on that later this week in our podcast. A big thanks to Microsoft and Nokia for extending the opportunity for this interview and iMore's Rene Ritchie for assistance. Edit: The last few minutes got cut off, so we have a new version coming up in a little bit. Edit 2: New version uploaded with last 5 minutes. More → 1 0 0 0
12 2012 CES: Day One Recap Windows Phone NewsFeatured By George Ponder, Tuesday, Jan 10, 2012 at 8:17 am EST There's little doubt that day one of the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show was big for Windows Phones. I think we all were took by surprise by AT&T's announcement during their Developer's Summit and while Nokia's afternoon press event was expected, we were still very impressed with what was presented. The day ended with Microsoft giving their last CES Keynote address that reflected on the past and gave us a glimpse into the future. Here's the down and dirty highlights from day one of the 2012 CES. AT&T 4G LTE: AT&T announced they will be offering the first 4G LTE Windows Phones in the coming months. Often described throughout the presentation as "blazingly fast", AT&T's CEO Ralph de la Vega stated that the new network will "take AT&T's Windows Phones to a new level." HTC Titan II: Riding on the heels of AT&T's 4G LTE announcement, HTC's CEO Peter Chou introduced the world to the HTC Titan II. The Titan II will be one of AT&T's first 4G LTE Windows Phones and sport a 4.7" Super LCD screen, 16mp camera rear camera, 1.3mp front facing camera, and 1.5Ghz Snapdragon S2 processor. Nokia Lumia 900: What might have been the best known secret of the day, Nokia officially announced the Lumia 900. The 4.3" AMOLED screened device will join the Titan II on AT&T's 4G LTE Windows Phone lineup. It will be initially offered in black and cyan with additional colors becoming available on down the line. Steve Ballmer: Steve Ballmer likely had a pair of roller skates handy for day one of the 2012 CES. He made appearances during the AT&T Developer Summit that morning, dropped in on Nokia's afternoon presentation and delivered Microsoft's Keynote that evening. While some may have seen Microsoft's keynote as "lack luster" it did give us a glimpse at what's coming down the road, Metro. From the XBox console to the PC to our Windows Phone, Metro will be the Windows interface of choice. All in all, day one of the 2012 CES was very promising for Windows Phones. Two very impressive devices, a promise of a faster network, and our Metro interface overtaking Microsoft's other platforms. It will be interesting to see what Day Two adds to the mix. We'll be hitting the show floor seeking out all that is Windows Phone over the next few days and for all our 2012 CES coverage, just hit this link. More → 0 0 0 0
9 First look: ESPN and CNN apps on the Lumia 900 Windows Phone NewsWindows Phone Apps By Daniel Rubino, Tuesday, Jan 10, 2012 at 2:49 am EST Today, Nokia announced not only the Lumia 900 but also some exclusive apps. While Nokia Drive is well known, the ESPN and CNN apps are much more new and less detailed in media coverage. Perhaps not surprisingly, both apps are quite nice. Well designed, Metro-influenced and delivering what looks to be considerable content, the apps look to increase the value of the phone. And while we don't think an "exclusive" ESPN and CNN app suite will convert many folks, as news junkies ourselves, we're more than happy to have it on board. Furthermore, the CNN iReport feature (being able to natively use the phone to submit reports) is certainly a novel idea. Anyways, enjoy this quick look at these two new apps. More → 0 0 0 0
56 First look: Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T video and gallery Windows Phone News By Daniel Rubino, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 11:50 pm EST Hey, look at that...it's the just announced Lumia 900 for AT&T. While these are still considered "prototypes" (which tells you how much Nokia is rushing here) and there are only three on the premises, we were able to get a brief tour of the device. Our first impressions of it are quite enthusiastic. The screen is simply one of the nicest we have seen on a Windows Phone with deep blacks and high contrast colors. While the device borrows heavily from the 800, it certainly looks to be its own. The size is certainly much larger than the 800 but in a good way. Of note is Nokia has thankfully redesigned the microSIM card slot as it now requires a pin to open it as opposed to the "prone to breakage" flip door on the Lumia 800. We're not going to lie, while the specs are fairly regular for "high end" Windows Phones, the Lumia 900 is about looks and feel. And it looks (dare we say) sexy and that is something Windows Phone needs to sell. Oh and yes, it has 16GB of storage memory as you can see at 2:30 in the video.

20 Nokia CEO discusses the Lumia 900 and more... Windows Phone News By George Ponder, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 9:01 pm EST Nokia CEO Stephen Elop sat down on the eve of the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show with Nokia Conversations to discuss the Lumia 900 and the other Lumia Windows Phones. He made no bones that Nokia is eager to become a presence in the U.S. Market. "The Lumia 900 is designed specifically with the North American consumer in mind. The Lumia 900 is also Nokia's first 4G LTE smartphone and will take advantage of AT&T's 4G LTE network." Elop also noted the presence of the newly released Nokia Lumia 710 that is designed for the consumers who have yet to make the transition to a smartphone. He feels the entry level Windows Phone is the perfect combination of operator and device. There was also mention of the Lumia 710 and 800 coming to Canadian Markets and the Lumia 800 becoming available through Microsoft stores. Elop continues to use battle front analogies with their approach to regaining North American market shares. So far the first three installments in Nokia's battle plan have been impressive and there's no telling what we'll see once that beachhead is established. source: Conversations by Nokia More → 1 0 0 0
6 Nokia Lumia 900 product page now live Windows Phone News By Rich Edmonds, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 8:01 pm EST The Lumia 900 (or the "Ace" if you will) has been announced today at CES 2012, and has lived up to expectations. Not only that, but the handset has now been added to Nokia's website and has taken over the homepage to give the Windows Phone maximum exposure to incoming traffic.

13 Software aspects of the Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone News By George Ponder, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 7:27 pm EST Okay... so the Nokia Lumia 900 definitely catches your eye from a hardware aspect but the software that's coming on board is likely to turn heads as well. Being an AT&T Windows Phone you will have the customary AT&T software suite that will include AT&T U-verse Mobile to let subscribers browse the U-Verse program guide, schedule manage their DVR recordings and what shows from the comfort of your Windows Phone. The Lumia 900 will also have the following apps in tow. Nokia Drive: This is your Nokia navigation app that provides voice-guided, turn by turn directions. You also have the ability to download only the maps you need, saving storage space. ESPN Sports Hub: This is an exclusive to Nokia Lumia Windows Phones that gives you access to ESPN scores, videos, and news items on your favorite sports. CNN App for Windows Phone: This news app will bring you the latest news and videos from CNN and direct access to iReport, CNN's participatory news community. Launching next month, the CNN App will be an exclusive to Nokia for 90 days. Univision App: This is an exclusive to Nokia Lumia users in the U.S. and Puerto Rico for eighteen months. The app will deliver unique Spanish language content covering sports, news, entertainment, cooking and local content. It was also announce a partnership with EA Sports to bring over twenty of the world's most popular games to the Windows Phone Marketplace. We first heard of this partnership back at Nokia World and the Lumia line of Windows Phones will get first crack at these titles. While the Nokia Lumia's hardware is impressive, everyone should be pleased with the software that accompanies the device. You can catch the full press release from Nokia after the break.

38 Nokia Lumia 900 announced at CES 2012 Windows Phone News By Rich Edmonds, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 6:35 pm EST It's official. Well, more official than it was prior to the presentation from Nokia. The Lumia 900 LTE is here, and it's everything we all expected. Packing a 1.4Ghz chip, 1830mAh battery, sporting a 4.3" AMOLED ClearBlack display, Carl Zeiss optics on the rear camera, it's basically an enlarged version of the 800. The added bonus (for many) is the included front-facing camera (which can be seen in the photo below, and has f2.4 aperture), and overall us Europeans are stood feeling helplessly jealous with our Titan MK I friends (thanks to the beefy HTC Titan II). The handset will be available in black and cyan varieties initially (more colours could be added in the future), and will be available exclusively to AT&T. Apologies to those who are on other networks. Although, on a positive note, this is a sign of the carrier actually getting behind the platform and with Nokia advertising like no one's business, we should see some positive results in terms of sales. Here's hoping anyway. Oh, and some apps will be bundled, including the likes of CNN, and AT&T with a U-verse Mobile application. Be sure to keep up-to-date with our live blog, which is currently still running full steam ahead. More photos after the break (including Ralph de la Vega from AT&T). More → 1 0 0 0
5 AT&T's Nokia Windows Phones announcements to come, Elop says Windows Phone News By Phil Nickinson, Monday, Jan 9, 2012 at 3:05 pm EST A half-dozen Android phones (literally, six Android phones) and the announcement of the HTC Titan II dominated the AT&T Developer Summit this morning at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. But Nokia CEO Stephen Elop promised that his company has phones on the way, too, and we'll see them announced at its press event this afternoon. The Lumia 900 is all be assured, and hopefully Elop's got something else up his sleeve, too. Check back at 3 p.m. PST / 6 p.m. EST for the liveblog! Bookmark this link!

16 Nokia's Lumia 710 and 900 headed to Canada? Windows Phone NewsRumors By Seth Brodeur, Thursday, Jan 5, 2012 at 3:24 pm EST Back in November, our concerns about the state of Windows Phone in Canada were somewhat alleviated when we heard that Nokia would be bringing a number of Windows phones there in 2012. While details were scarce at the time, MobileSyrup says that they have confirmed that both the Lumia 710 and Lumia 900 (Ace) are packing their bags for the trek up North. No timeline has been provided, but the 710 is expected to arrive first, followed by the flagship Ace shortly after. While Rogers is the likely carrier, TELUS and Bell are possibilities. And since we don't even know who will be carrying the Nokia handsets, we still don't know how much they will fetch in the marketplace. Despite the vagueness of it all, it's certainly reassuring to hear that Canada will be seeing some WP7 love. Source: MobileSyrup; Via: UnwiredView More → 1 0 0 0
3 Nokia's playing with newer OS builds on Lumia 900 and 800 [Photo] Windows Phone News By Daniel Rubino, Wednesday, Jan 4, 2012 at 2:02 pm EST As expected, Nokia appears to have some newer versions of the Windows Phone OS--specifically interim builds between "Mango" and "Tango" that adds LTE support and presumably other fixes not yet detailed. Now we have confirmation that this is the case and even the version numbers. Reader Lukas E. has sent us a photo of his new Lumia 800 which he won directly from Nokia. Where it gets interesting, however, is his OS build which is pegged at 7.10.8107 (pictured above), a significant bump from 7.10.7740 which is found on a lot of devices today. More interestingly, we found that the Nokia 900 which is expected to be announced next Monday at CES, is running a similar build: 7.10.8104. This info was gleaned from Lynx Interactive who makes various games for Windows Phone and collects device/OS information for their statistics. The 810x branch of the OS seems to be an official interim build that many OEMS are using, including the unannounced Samsung Monument, the Samsung Focus, some HTC devices and the Lumia 710. What is not clear, of course, is if this will be released as an OS update or is just for upcoming 4G/LTE enabled phones but it does appear that this branch is getting ready to go public. The fact that a Lumia 800 is running the updated OS is a positive sign that this may be an official update. (There is an even later build, 8714, which may be Tango-proper.) Perhaps we'll find out more at CES next week. Until then, we'll continue to see if we can find any other changes to the OS--so far, there is no Internet Sharing on Lukas's Lumia 800 and no other discenrable changes that he has noted, meaning this could new hardware preperation. Thanks, Lukas E., for the photo and info! More → 0 0 0 0
15 Microsoft, OEMs to spend more than $100M marketing Windows Phone Windows Phone NewsRumors By Rich Edmonds, Wednesday, Jan 4, 2012 at 12:21 pm EST Paul Thurrott has stamped his mark on some information regarding the upcoming expenditure the software giant is set to embark on in the Sates. The details allegedly come from internal Microsoft documentation. Windows Phone has been failing when it comes to retailers and carrier stores, not just in the U.S., but on a global scale and it's a huge mountain to climb to get to a level playing field with competitor platforms. We covered the report today, which BetaNews published, that pointed to the Nokia Ace receiving "hero" status on AT&T. Not only that, but $100 million was said to be going into the marketing kitty. Thurrott has now "corrected" information published by BetaNews, announcing that Microsoft and co. will be looking to unleash not $100 million, but $200 million marketing and promoting the platform. We're already aware that the plan for all companies involved with Windows Phone are looking to spend large sums of money, especially Nokia with CEO Elop commenting that they're "game". HTC, Samsung (among other OEMs) will also be set to increase budgeting for advertising, much like what we've witnessed across Europe with newspaper adverts and more. Thurrott also moves on to state that retail sales staff are set to receive incentives (as part of the massive budget) for moving handsets from the shelves and into consumer hands. "The amount of payments are $10 to $15 per handset sold, depending on the number sold, for some handset models." This all makes sense and is pretty much what we're all expecting the companies to roll on. But remember though; Mr Thurrott is the gentleman that stated we wouldn't be getting Mango until 2012, so take this information as you see fit. Source: WindowsITPro More → 3 0 0 0
38 Report: Nokia Ace to receive "Hero" status from AT&T, part of $100M campaign Windows Phone NewsRumorsFeatured By Daniel Rubino, Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012 at 11:20 pm EST BetaNews is reporting tonight from undisclosed sources that the upcoming Nokia "Ace" aka Lumia 900 will be part of a massive advertising campaign, with a reported $100 million dollars being spent promoting the highly secretive device. It's not clear if that money will be spent equally by Microsoft, AT&T or Nokia or divided amongst the three in another fashion. Perhaps more importantly the phone is reported to receive "hero status" from AT&T which according to BetaNews means that the carrier will "...will promote the device in its advertising, through its retail channels and direct store associates to push the device within its stores." Such a position would be the first for any Windows Phone in the US, perhaps finally giving the the beleaguered OS a shot in the limelight. If all goes well with this Nokia Ace/900 push on AT&T another source indicated that Microsoft is hoping to get carriers to "hero" another device for the 2012 holiday season. While sources for this story remain undisclosed the information in general terms is exactly what Microsoft and more recently Nokia have essentially promised when launching here in the United States. Most recently this was confirmed when Nokia CEO Elop commented that they were "game" for stepping up their performance, especially in relation to carriers in the US. And considering how much Nokia has invested in Europe e.g. the Deadmau5 event, we imagine they have big plans here for the States. More will be revealed of course next Monday at 6PM EST when Nokia holds their media event at CES in Las Vegas. Nokia is expected to reveal the "Ace" or Lumia 900, a device with a 4.3" "clear black" screen, 16GB of storage, 4G LTE for AT&T and a front-facing camera. We'll be their live, covering the event.

17 Three UK has no near-future plans to stock the Lumia 900? Rumors By Rich Edmonds, Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012 at 2:48 pm EST The official Three UK Twitter account was hit with the question of whether or not the carrier has any plans for the rumoured Nokia Lumia 900. As can be seen in the screen shot above, their answer to Digixav is pretty non-specific and lacks any real detail, but they do confirm that the Lumia 900 exists to an extent. On the other hand, the Three UK Twitter moderators could well be confirming that there are no visual indication according to their resources that the carrier will be stocking the Lumia 900, and this is simply nothing at all. We do have confirmation that the Lumia 710 is on its way to the network though. Source: Twitter (ThreeUK), via: Digixav More → 0 0 0 0
24 More details on Nokia's Lumia 900 Ace Windows Phone NewsRumors By Seth Brodeur, Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012 at 12:07 pm EST PocketNow has gotten their hands on details about the Nokia Lumia 900 (aka, Ace), which is heading to AT&T. Despite past speculation that it would ship with the version of Windows Phone known as Tango, it will indeed have version 7.5 Mango. As Nokia's flagship phone, the Lumia 900 will sport: 4.3-inch WVGA display 512MB of RAM 8MP camera 1830mAh battery The Ace weighs in at 160 grams, just slightly more than the Lumia 800's 142 grams. This is doubtless due in part to the larger screen. Despite the greater weight, both handsets look to have the same thickness, about 12mm. PocketNow took the specs of both phones and used them to create the above comparison picture. It's not yet known how much storage the Ace will have, but a supposed leaked spec sheet from October showed both a 16GB and 32GB option, though its veracity has been highly questioned. Based on what we know of Nokia's other handsets, there is no evidence to support the theory that they would offer multiple storage options. We should find out for sure at CES, where it is also expected that Nokia will unveil a mid-range offering, the Lumia 719. Source: PocketNow More → 2 0 0 0
11 Lumia 900 "Ace" featured on Nokia Pulse webpage? Rumors By Rich Edmonds, Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012 at 9:28 am EST We could be looking too much into this, or it could actually be the Lumia 900 being featured on Nokia's Pulse webpage. Looking at the above screen capture does reveal some notable differentiation when compared to the Lumia 800. The capacitive buttons are closer to the edge of the handset, it looks marginally taller, but no FFC can be spotted. We'll pass it onto you guys to decide, an interesting find nonetheless. This is -of course- running off the "modified 800" render rumour, but it could well be the "Ace". Whatever the above is, we'll see the launch of Nokia's U.S. Windows Phone at CES.

52 Renders of the Nokia 900 show up with AT&T branding? Windows Phone NewsRumorsFeatured By Daniel Rubino, Friday, Dec 30, 2011 at 1:51 pm EST Pocketnow have images reportedly from Microsoft-partner Christmas card and the featured item is a Nokia device with AT&T branding on board, presumably the Nokia "Ace" 900. No other details can be discerned from the device except for a front-facing camera (upper left), which seems imperative for US markets now and for 2nd gen Windows Phones. The device is expected to feature a large 4.3" screen, AT&T LTE 4G and some other ample specs making it a decent competitor for the US and Windows Phone in general. Still, it is not clear if this device is just a revamped 800 with higher specs or truly a different device. More info is expected in a few days as we approach CES where all is expected to be revealed. Our only criticism? We hope black isn't the only color option as it is getting a tad old these days--gives us some reds, whites and blues to make us really interested. Source: Pocketnow; Thanks, pezman726, for the tip!

30 Mystery Windows Phone: Nokia Lumia 800 or something else? Windows Phone News By George Ponder, Friday, Dec 23, 2011 at 3:08 pm EST We have a little discussion going on amongst the WPCentral writers concerning the Windows Phone used in Microsoft's Hotmail advertisement. At first we thought it could be the HTC Titan until we noticed the Nokia apps (Drive, Maps, and Music). We now have two schools of thought. One side of the coin has this being the Nokia Lumia 800 and the actress has small hands (hobbit hands was the description actually used). The mystery device appears to share the 800's buttons and silver strip on the back. The other side of the coin calls for this to be a new Nokia, maybe the Lumia 900? Should the actress have average hands, the screen appears to be much larger than the Lumia 800 and the backing seems more gray than black. So, what do you guys and gals think? Lumia 800, 900 or something else? source: Windows Live UK Thanks goes out to Dan (the other one) for the tip! More → 2 0 0 0

"Five eighth-grade Business Tech classes participated in Entrepreneurship Day," said Susan Evans, Business/Technology teacher at Drew Middle School.
The students' projects were on display in the Drew Middle School/Lincoln High School Library Media Center, and students in grades six and seven, along with members of the community, were able to invest in their favorite product.
Emma Roach, project manager for the first period group, said she and Hannah McLendon came up with the idea for Serenity Award Racks. Emma, marketing manager Dawson Sieger and Savannah Truss, with management, presented their products.
"They are racks to hang medallions on," Emma said. "I had a problem recently where I had won medallions for sports and different school awards, but had nowhere to hang them. These racks give you a place to display medallions, and also motivate you to earn more."
Emma said the Serenity Award Racks have either one, two or three hooks.
"Hannah had the idea for painted quotes, so you can personalize your award rack," she said. "Ours were hand-painted by our group."
Sixth period group presenters included project manager Evan Dulaney, Kayla Yarbrough, with management, marketing manager Kaleigh Brown, development team leader Bain Isenhower and financial manager Wyatt Gallahar.
"We made Mr. E's Tie-Dye Tees to help the student body express themselves in a more colorful, fun and exciting way," Evan said. "They can choose two to four colors and add text or a logo to the T-shirt."
Evan said the T-shirts are great for free dress days at school.
"I see many, many students trying to wear fun and colorful clothing, but it is difficult with a single color T-shirt," he said. "We also have tie-dye shoelaces and socks, and are heading toward sweatshirts and jackets."
The seventh period class offered something for the taste buds — Mustache Magic. Presenting their mustache decorated cupcakes were Savannah Masters, project manager; Haley Barnhart, development team leader; Sawyer Sims, bakery chef; and Kevin Williams, management team leader.
"Most people love cupcakes, and mustaches are in right now," Savannah said. "We thought it would be a fun, unique idea."
Haley said the group made 450 cupcakes in six different varieties for everyone to try.
"We used homemade icing because the customers like it best," she said.
Each cupcake was hand-decorated with a mustache, and there was a poster with the many types of mustaches customers could choose to order from.
"The 'hipster' mustache is the most popular right now," Savannah said.
Second period class was represented by project manager Weston Perry, Ashley Kate Grace with the marketing department, Tyler Tuck with development and marketing manager Griffin Smith.
"Our product is 'Beast Leash,'" Weston said. "We made it for hunters."
Weston said a bracelet snaps around the person's wrist and a collar around the dog's neck. The two are connected by swivel clips so they don't tangle.
"They are made out of 550-pound Paracord so it won't break," he said. "That way you can keep your dog on a leash and have a free hand for your gun while hunting."
Weston said there is also a girl's version, too, so the pet owner can walk their dog and use their cell phone to text at the same time.
"The Beast Leash comes in any color," he said. "You can pick either one or two colors for the leash, and up to four colors for the collar. There are also reflectors on the collars for safety reasons."
Weston said the Beast Leashes are made to order to fit the person's wrist and the dog's neck.
The third period group came up with Neat Feet, a fun way to mop floors. The presenters included project manager Donte Rivers, Tanner Griffin with management, Tyler South with marketing and Drew Snyder with development.
"Neat Feet makes mopping easier," Tanner said. "When you mop, it puts a strain on your back and arms."
Drew said the team took Croc shoes and attached mop strings to them.
"You skate on the floor like a skating rink and have fun while cleaning," he said.
Donte said you just put Neat Feet in water and walk around.
"Your friends can help out," he said. "It's a fun way to play while cleaning and making your allowance."
Donte said Neat Feet comes in a variety of colors and sizes, and can be custom made to order.
"There are grippers on the bottom to make them safer," Tyler said.
Donte said Neat Feet are slippery, but if you use them safely you should be fine.
"Our slogan is, 'No home is complete without Neat Feet,'" Drew said.
Evans said after the investments were tallied, Beast Leash won first place, Mustache Magic won second place and Serenity Award Racks won third place. Serenity Award Racks also won the Judges' Choice Award, winning investments from three of the five judges.
"All members of the winning team, Beast Leash, will be treated to lunch with the Lincoln Business Associates," she said. "The lunch is paid for as part of the grant I was awarded from the Talladega County Education Foundation. The grant also allowed each team a budget of $55 to buy the supplies to make and market their products."
Evans said all the students did a fantastic job.
"I am so proud of all of them," she said. "There is no better feeling as a teacher than to see a project like this come to fruition. These students worked very hard and were very proud of their accomplishments. They couldn't wait to tell people about their products because they really took ownership of their learning."

Jacobson Revisited: Conditions, Covenants and the Future of Open-Source Software Licenses
Congress enacted 35 U.S.C. § 271(f) to broaden U.S. patent protection and prohibit shipping patented devices in smaller components for assembly overseas. Section 271(f) creates an infringement cause of action for sending components outside the United States for assembly. Whether § 271(f)—which clearly applies to physical things—also applies to process claims has been hotly debated. In Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc. v. St. Jude Med Inc., the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that § 271(f) does not apply to process claims because a component of a process claim is an intangible step that cannot be physically supplied. This Article surveys the origins of 35 U.S.C. § 271(f), examines how courts applied the statute before Cardiac Pacemakers, analyzes the Federal Circuit's reasoning in Cardiac Pacemakers, and discusses implications for those with process claims. Although § 271(f) offers limited protection against acts giving rise to foreign commercial activity, Cardiac Pacemakers suggests patent attorneys should consider possible claims for tangible combinations elements occurring during performance of intangible processes.

As the clock ticked down at the end of the Celtics 88-80 loss to the Knicks last Friday, Kevin Garnett walked to the bench and met up with Doc Rivers, "I love you" said KG to Doc. "I Love You" Doc said to KG. Could this be an indication that the end is near for KG and Paul Pierce?

Urge Down-O-Matic Veggie Full Face Helmet
You've heard of Veggie-burgers?
At Urge Bikeproducts, they have the Veggie-helmets!
Some of their models carry this strange name....
It is actually both a simple and audacious idea. For their Veggie models, they replace a part of the glass fiber generally used to manufacture full-face helmets by a 100% natural and vegetable fiber: the linen fiber. Linen (Linum usitatissimum) is a plant that produces really pretty blue flowers and grows in fields with low water needs, without fertilizer or chemical products. From this plant, they can extract oil but also fiber. This (long) fiber is weaved using highly technical processes and enables them to manufacture fabrics that, once molded a certain way and adding their expert knowledge, have very close characteristics to glass or carbon fabrics.
But unlike these two fabrics, the linen fiber is natural, requires low energy to be produced and its waste is compostable with no danger to the environment and it is non-allergic. The end result is very eye-catching, very strong and good for the Earth and human kind.
That's why, even if this fiber is extremely difficult to work with and it costs as much time and money as carbon, Urge thinks that it's the right decision for a better future and they will do their best to use it even more.

Ubuntu 9.04 Release Candidate
The road to the final version of Ubuntu 9.04 still has the release candidate as its penultimate goal. Not much has changed in it.
With the announcement of it first release candidate, Ubuntu 9.04 is finally where it wants to be. Not too many changes should happen from this point on, but the RC does bring some improvements. Among them is integration with the recent GNOME 2.26.1 bug fix release. The kernel version will step up to 2.6.28-11.37, so having a Wacom tablet no longer requires manual configuration. Button mapping configuration may still not be supported, but you can still set it manually by adding an fdi file to /etc/ha/fdi/policy/.
Ubuntu's announcement also includes the usual helpful hints. One of them is that the software is "almost ready" for general use, but not quite. The ext4 filesystem can trigger a kernel panic and filesystem corruption when accessing large (more than 10 GByte) files, which the final version should resolve. Also, the mythtv frontend in Mythbuntu shows some overlarge fonts under circumstances, another candidate for a final version fix.

Starting the new year with a splash
Written by Michael Feely Thursday, January 03, 2013 07:00 pm
< Prev | Next > |
2012 was, in many ways, an exhausting year for most Brigantine residents. This year's Polar Bear Plunge was a great way to start the New Year – a baptism, if you will, to start anew.
The plunge relocated to the beach in front of the Laguna Grill this year, as two elements dictated a change in venue: a smaller beach at the north sea wall due to the beach erosion from Sandy, as well as the continued growth of the event. The decision appeared to be a great one.
Approximately 8,000 spectators watched 1,200 to 1,500 "swimmers" take the plunge in water temperature that was estimated to be 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Reporters at the event included the Press of Atlantic City as well as crews from Philadelphia television stations CBS-3 and 6-ABC covered the intrepid participants.
The zaniness of the event increases with the creativity of the costumes. The winners of the costume contest this year (individual category) were Mike Kuharik as "Jack Sparrow," Dennis Roberts as "Cereal Killer," and Billy Bryan's "Screw Sandy." Group winners were Rose Kelly, Gerry Reardon and Renee Nolan as "Jumping off the Fiscal Cliff;" and the Jimenez family (Maria, Carmen, Jenny and Eduardo), who dubbed themselves "Plunger Heads." Both group winners repeated their success from last year.
Prizes were donated by Linda Camerota, Jeff Hoffberger, Linda Morris and St George's Pub.
The annual event raises money for the Fisher House, a nonprofit organization that helps wounded veterans and their families with their expenses. John Hand, one of the co-founders of the event, said they were on track to improve over last year, when more than $48,000 was raised, but pledges and shirt sales were still ongoing and yet to be counted.
Lead sponsors were National Van Lines and Laguna Grill, who both contributed $2,500. The VFW and American Legion contributed $2,000 each. Music was provided by the Motts Creek Pickers.

Ireland's known as the Emerald Isle for a reason, and green has long been the colour associated with the drinkfest that is the celebration of its patron saint.
While you're swigging your Guiness tonight, why not ensure one of these sparkling green gadgets is in sight so you can feel a little mock patriotism (unless of course you are Irish in which case it can be real).
1. Sony Ericsson K660i in lime green
This isn't the first time Sony Ericsson has got all excited about a green gadget – remember the "Mysterious Green" S500? But lime green is apparently THE colour for Spring 2008, replacing the winter's purple shades, so the accents on this Internet-friendly handset are distinctly grassy.
Ignore the pink lady up front, green is the colour for these little portable webcams which are cheap, cheerful and designed to be snapped on to any laptop. They're supposed to zoom "to infinity", which might be a little bit ambitious, but regardless ought to be a handy budget-friendly way to show off your actual or adopted heritage over an Irish coffee whilst Skyping and blogging in the local Evil Coffee Empire.
If you're not a big drinker perhaps you could find another way to have fun… The bobbly, caterpillar inspired Baby Bug Mini Vibrator is happy to step in an help, although you might have to get over the laughter before you can get much else out of it. Personally I'm not keen as it reminds me of a toy I had as a small child (ew) but since keeping a good sense of humour is all-important in the bedroom I can see it being popular. Besides, who said your bed can't be decked out in fashionable colours?
Apparently the Jasper Keynote's green beam provides brightness of fifty times the normal red dot, so however far away from the screen / short / geeky you are, no-one will have an excuse to ignore what you're trying to show them. Somehow I can't help but think of (Dr) Ross Geller right now…
Why not celebrate all things green and actually be green at the same time (see what I did there?)? Shredding and then recycling your paper waste is a good idea for both privacy and the environment, and this frog-shaped shredder can give your home office a slightly less industrial appearance. Turning the handles pulps the contents into compostable form; hey, isn't that equivalent to an hour-long workout at the gym…?
So there you go – all the gizmos you need to look positively envious / bilious. Don't forget to raise your glasses to Shiny. Cheers!

"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient." ~ Steve Maraboli
My dearest friend came to me just this other day, and sounding…to me, at least…just a little discouraged.
We all have those moments when we struggle under doubt's massive shadow. But still, if we believe…we must find a way to go on.
And it's never really easy, isn't it—this 'trying to do the impossible'? And it's so very hard, I know…existing in that space between that which we know must be done…and that which we believe can be done.
These are the moments that define our very spirit. And they are the moments which most test our fears of continuing on.
Doubt challenges every sense of our being. But we must be strong to carry on.
At times, we may feel these moments are designed to break us—but, it's in that breaking that we discover one of life's most absolute truths, that is…
"Heartache makes the heart grow stronger."
It's in these moments, that our own resilience is born.
For those who'll still believe…even when doubt tries to convince us otherwise.
So, what does "believe" mean to you?
Poem: Solar Eclipse, Diane Glancy
Each morning
I wake invisible.I make a needle
from a porcupine quill,
sew feet to legs,
lift spine onto my thighs.I put on my rib and collarbone.
I pin an ear to my head,
hear the waxwing's yellow cry.
I open my mouth for purple berries,
stick on periwinkle eyes.I almost know what it is to be seen.
My throat enlarges from anger.
I make a hand to hold my pain.My heart a hole the size of the sun's eclipse.
I push through the dark circle's
tattered edge of light.All day I struggle with one hair after another
until the moon moves from the face of the sun
and there is a strange light
as though from a kerosene lamp in a cabin.I pun on a dress,
a shawl over my shoulders.My threads knotted and scissors gleaming.
Now I know I am seen.
I have a shadow.I extend my arms,
dance and chant in the sun's new light.I put a hat and coat on my shadow,
another larger dress.
I put on more shawls and blouses and underskirts
until even the shadow has substance"

Gerard J. (Jerry) Hayes, C.P.M.
Gerard J. (Jerry) Hayes, C.P.M., Director, Purchasing, Nippondenso Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc., Battle Creek, MI 49015-1083, 616/965-9862
Abstract. The profession of purchasing evolved within the corporate structure having as its primary responsibility, control. The traditional roles upon which purchasing developed no longer fulfill a progressive management's expectation. Changes due to competitive pressure now require a much expanded responsibility. Remaining traditional philosophy detracts from making the necessary changes. Purchasing must provide value to the business process by becoming a resource. Management, by purchasing, of the supply chain, relationships, and developments is essential to the profession's survival. Many barriers exist, including ourselves.
Evolution of Purchasing. The function of Purchasing as a corporate entity grew out of a need to control the awarding of contracts by people other than those in receipt of goods or those paying the bills. The function was originally perceived as the last bastion of staunch process orientation and hold-the-line mentality.
Traditional Functions. "Findin' Vendors," "Writin' P.O.'s," "Watchin' spendin'," "Resistin'," etc., all those traditional things many of us were taught by our predecessors in and of themselves, are no longer enough to sustain a competitive edge.
Changes. Paradigm shifts, reengineering, transaction costs, computers, software, the Internet, etc. have all served to greatly expand our access to information. The myopic world of traditional purchasing no longer satisfies the need to plan and strategize procurement.
Detractors. There are many. Among the more common are: the empire builders, those in an organization attempting to be autonomous, uncommitted and unsupportive suppliers, and certainly acceptance of the status quo.
Adding Value. As a profession, we have not focused on measuring our contributions to the corporate well-being, nor in many cases have we sought out what it is the boardroom expects of us. If not done, this is the obvious starting point to adding value. Purchasing, as the "window" to the outside world, should be an information resource to executive management on all issues affecting material cost, supply, and general economic conditions. Of course, the internal customer requirements too must be met with the efficiency necessary to sustain operations. This is most readily achieved by becoming intimate with those requirements and then mutually designing a system to deal with the issues.
New Functions. Continuity of quality supply is based on the strength of supply relationships. Such performance has as its foundation a working knowledge and management of the complete supply chain from feed stocks to disposal. Outstanding suppliers are rarely discovered in such a condition, but rather are developed by their customers into what they need to be. Great suppliers have great customers.
Barriers. Tradition is an enjoyable thing, and it helps us to reflect back to the "way things used to be," but when allowed to become a business philosophy, it's disastrous. Managing in the shadow of tradition is not to grow, and anything not growing is dying. Our own success can be a deterrent to change if arrogance is allowed to develop. Someone once said: "Whom the gods want to destroy, they send forty years of success."

Keller is an affluent city located in the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area of the United States. In 2009, it was ranked 7th in MoneyMagazine's list of best cities to live in the United States.[3] It is a northern suburb of the city of Fort Worth. The population was 39,627 at the 2010 census.[4]
Establishment of Keller[edit]
The Texas and Pacific Railway between Fort Worth and Texarkana was completed in June 1881, and the first train ran on this track on May 9, 1881. With the advent of rail service, new villages were established all along the line. The Keller of today was one of them. On July 19, 1881, H.W. Black, a druggist of Tarrant County, set aside 40 acres (0.16 km2) out of the north end of the 62 acres (0.25 km2) deeded to him by A.C. Roberts (being a part of the Samuel Needham Survey) for a town site to be known as Athol, situated 14 miles (23 km) northeast of Fort Worth. The land was dedicated to the public for streets and alleyways, but title to the remainder of the 62 acres (0.25 km2) was held by Mr. Black. Settlers migrated to the new village, and before a year had passed the name of the town was changed from Athol to Keller, honoring John C. Keller, a foreman on the railroad. Streets were named and those in the original 40-acre (0.16 km2) site still carry the names given to them in 1881. Streets going north and south are Lamar, Main and Elm; those running east and west are Price, Taylor, Hill, Vine, Bates, Olive and Pecan.
Modern Keller[edit]
New residential development is expanding the city in all directions. The 1980 Census calculated Keller's population at 4,555; today, about 42,000 residents call Keller home. The city planned for its growth and has recently constructed a new town hall, municipal service center, and award-winning recreation and aquatic center known as The Keller Pointe. It has renovated and expanded its police facility, which houses the Regional Jail, Regional Animal Adoption Center and regional 911 dispatch center, completed a major expansion to the Keller Public Library [1], and constructed a new fire station (#4) for the southern portion of the city. The Keller Independent School District has 36 campuses serving more than 30,000 students [2]. The district serves portions of the cities of Colleyville, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Southlake, Watauga and Westlake, as well as the entire city of Keller. Its 51 square miles (130 km2) encompass the third-largest land area in Tarrant County. Enrollment in the school district has doubled during the past 10 years and is expected to do the same during the next decade, making it the ninth-fastest growing school district in Texas.[citation needed] Money magazine rated Keller as one of the 10 "Best Places to Live" in the United States for 2009, ranked number 7. [3] It rated Keller as one of the 100 "Best Places to Live" in the United States for 2011, ranked number 93. [4] The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey listed Keller as one of the "Nation's Richest Cities" with a population over 20,000 in 2008, ranked number 59 with median household income of $114,542. Neighboring Southlake was ranked number 1. [5]
Keller is located at 32°55′39″N 97°14′10″W / 32.92750°N 97.23611°W (32.927533, −97.235995).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 18.4 square miles (47.8 km²), all land. Keller is just east of Interstate 35W, while being situated just south of Highway 114 and Alliance Gate Freeway.

The Captain: A Model of Scandinavian Cool
The captain politely turns down Greta's offer to steer the ship
It was a dark and stormy morning. The boat was heaving worse than ever, and I got up well before sun rise, opened the curtains and was met by an angry sea: frothy white caps, a howling wind picking up seawater and blasting it at the side of the ship, and a driving rain.
I couldn't sleep, so I grabbed my Sony Reader, which I loaded with books before leaving, and went up to the Lido Deck for coffee, convinced I was the only soul stirring on the boat. I arrived to find a collection of elderly gentleman already there, reading and drinking coffee. I settled down with a latte, a smoked salmon sandwich and my book and thought about the considerable pleasures of rising early.
Two hours later, I returned to the Lido Deck with Laura and Greta and ended up eating a second breakfast. This time it was waffles, bacon, strawberries, and miso soup. It seemed an appropriate menu, given our present position. I had the soup first, then the waffles. I would not recommend consuming them at the same time.
As we were leaving, I bumped into the captain. The captain is Norwegian and has the Scandinavian gift for understatement, a trait that inspires tremendous nautical confidence. We shared the following exchange:
ME: Did we sail through a storm this morning?
CAPTAIN: Not that I know of.
ME: Because when I woke up, and I looked out he window and saw whitecaps, and it was, like, really windy. Wasn't that storm?
CAPTAIN: Not that I know of.
ME: I mean, the conditions were rough, just like they are now.
[I gestured out the window, at the veritable tempest that was raging.]
CAPTAIN: These conditions are not rough.

But as far as energy drinks go, Bawls Guarana is fruit juice, with less caffeine (64 milligrams) than a cup of coffee (100). Red Bull contains 80; Monster boasts 140, about the same as Full Throttle and Rockstar.
In the beginning, Buppert and Staalstrom were like caffeine pilgrims in a new and hostile land. "There was this one meeting I had with these investment bankers," Buppert recalls. "And one guy said, 'Boy, are you some kind of drug dealer?'"
But two years after Buppert and Staalstrom started the business, the Austrian beverage Red Bull stormed the continent. The drink was a manmade wonder of marketing, appealing to young adults as well as people who maybe didn't like coffee or soda. And much of its success derived from a strategy Bawls had attempted but failed: Red Bull persuaded its customers to mix the product with booze.
Meanwhile, Bawls focused on its young gamers. Back at the Scorpico tournament, the company's head of marketing, Sabrina Gonzalez, appeared holding a case of the drinks. Gonzalez was chatty and, in a way both nerdy and calculating, intense. "Chugging contest!" she shouted. A group of gamers gathered around her. She passed out Geek Beer, counted down from three, and the boys went at it.
Hernandez won. His prize: a case of Bawls. He walked, a little bouncily, to pick it up.
"You want them right now?" asked a Bawls employee.
"I'll take them right now," Hernandez answered.
III. Shots
Of all the drinks claiming sponsorship of Winter Music Conference, only one had bought the rights to be the official sponsor: Mini Thin Rush, a company specializing in "liquid energy shots" and "energy supplements." Leading its campaign to win over South Florida — spring breakers, girls gone wild, and club hoppers — was Stephen Style, head of New York-based BDI Marketing.
A few days after WMC had ended, Style invited me to the popular South Beach club Mansion. Mini Thin Rush was sponsoring a charity event called the Broker Boxing Federation, in which real estate magnates, developers, and other rich guys would beat each other onstage to raise money for Alonzo Mourning Charities. Mini Thin Rush had a table there.
Style showed up in tight black jeans and a blue T-shirt cut off at the sleeves, his hair spiked up and spilling into a messy mullet à la Davie Bowie circa 1970. On his shoulder was a tiny fake Superman tattoo.
I watched as he set up his table inside the club, unloading a few hundred of the tiny two-ounce plastic bottles of Mini Thin Rush and arranging them in a neat pyramid. On either side of the "energy shots" were other Mini Thin Rush products: caffeinated chewing gum and, for the minimalist, boxes containing little yellow pills — energy "capsules," to be taken orally.
"The gum works, I find, right away," Style said. "Like — boom! — a burst of energy."
He paused.
"It's probably got something to do with the saliva," he added thoughtfully.
Style explained that supplements such as shots, capsules, and gum were the latest trend in the booming energy drink market. "They're becoming really popular with models, these superskinny models, because it's less liquid," he said. "Plus if they've been starving themselves, suddenly they have no energy, right?"
I conceded this point.
"Well, they drink a regular drink, it bloats them. This one — boom!"
As if on cue, a tall, attractive, indisputably skinny woman approached the table, picked up a two-ounze shot, and put it in her purse. Then she perused a packet of the pills.
"Those are energy capsules," Style explained. "Don't take them with the drink. It'll...." he trailed off.
"Be the end of me?" the woman chimed in helpfully.
"It won't be the end of you," Style reassured her, "but you'll be...." He laughed and raised his eyebrows high. She smiled and took a pack.
Celebrities such as Brooke Hogan, Harry Morton, and the great Zo himself were pouring through the doors and across a remarkably shoddy red carpet. The first batch of rich dudes was preparing to slug it out for charity. A gong sounded in the background. The time had come.
I plucked a bottle from the pyramid, twisted off the cap, and downed it in one glug. Nothing happened. I drank another one.
The sensation began as two simultaneous tremors: one in my stomach, the other in my throat. The sweet, citrusy taste of the drink rose from every part of my digestive apparatus like a fine mist, until all I could taste or smell was Mini Thin Rush. The vibrations extended up from my gut and down from my esophagus, convening directly at my heart. My mouth went dry. The inside of my lips stuck to my teeth.
I floated over to the bar, ordered a whiskey on the rocks, and knocked it back. It tasted good; it tasted very good.
What followed was blurry. Style, who as far as I know abstained from drinking his own product that night, went through the ins and outs of guerrilla marketing, product placement, and so forth, but I couldn't concentrate. I was a human engine, a rocket man. I plucked a piece of energy gum and began to chew. My legs were hydraulic pumps; my feet were roller skates. I ordered another whiskey, sticking the caffeinated gum behind my ear to down the booze.

Desert Mission helps most vulnerable reach their full potential for health and self-sufficiency.
The thought of a child's face lighting up on Christmas morning was reason enough for generous individuals and groups to help make the holidays brighter for many Desert Mission clients.
The community service arm of the John C. Lincoln Health Network, Desert Mission seeks to meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable community members and help them reach their full potential for health and self-sufficiency.
A total of 110 individuals, businesses and groups "adopted" 210 Desert Mission families for the holidays, providing food for a holiday meal and gifts for the children and the household. Wish lists often included basics like laundry detergent and bedsheets for the home, and toys and clothing for the children.
Join the John C. Lincoln Health Foundation for an Evening in the Vineyard. The 45th Annual Gold Ball will be held at 6 p.m. March 22, 2014, at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, 7575 E. Princess Drive, Scottsdale. Proceeds from the Gold Ball will benefit health care and community programs at John C. Lincoln Health Network. For more information or for tickets and sponsorship, visit JCL.com/ball or call 602-331-7860.
At Thanksgiving, the Food Bank distributed 2,500 turkeys to clients, thanks to donations of birds and cash from John C. Lincoln employees and area businesses.
"It was so rewarding to see the community rally to help those in need," said Sue Sadecki, Desert Mission executive director. "I want to thank everyone who contributed everything from turkeys to cash to toys. It was an effort that paid off in lots of smiles."

Purchased this hood at Sears outlet store and matches perfectly my stainless kenmore stove. Originally for 299 and i got it for 74 bucks. Just has to buy a power cord and plug it in. I installed where the old hood was and fit like a glove. Once plugged in i gave it a test. It has plenty if power and lights up the stove area for great visual inspection of cooking items. Thankfully it was available when i went looking for one. Usually its hit or miss at the outlet store for things to match and get a bargain

Love this range hood. The adjustable fan is great and the bright setting for the light is great when cooking. Would recommend this range hood to everyone

Perfect over the most basic white stove. This is easy to use for our guests who visit our condo. It is clean looking, basic, and easy to wipe down. There's nothing fancy about it but will do the job perfectly!

We needed a range hood that vented out of the house and Sears had just what we needed. For a reasonable fee they even installed it. I love it and it works great. It is not loud at all.

My husband had this installed very quickly. It is very attractive and works well. I like that the light can be used as a night light. I would reccommend this for anyone who wants a basic hood that does a good job and looks nice too.

Range hood looks wonderful, BUT....Fan is a bit noisy, especially if the filters are slightly askew. Also the light fixture will only accommodate smaller sized specialty bulbs. The cover will not fit over regular 60 watt bulbs. This was the low priced model.

Batteries Chemicals
Name: Unknown Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Before 1993
What are some chemicals used in batteries? I am doing this for an advanced chem project.
The common dry cell (also called the LeClanche cell) is composed of a carbon rod stuck into a damp paste made of NH4Cl, ZnCl2, and MnO2, in a zinc (Zn) canister. The anode reaction is the oxidation of Zn(s) to Zn2+, and the cathode reaction is the reduction of NH4+ to form NH3(g) and H2(g). (These gases are converted by the other chemicals to water and zinc salts). Then, there is the alkaline battery. It also uss a zinc anode, but the container is a steel case which serves as a conductor of electrons to the oxidizing agent, in this case, MnO2. So here the anode reaction is Zn(s) + OH -) ZnO(s) + H2O(l) + 2 e- and the cathode reaction is 2MNo@ + H2O(l) +2 e- -) Mn2O3(s) + 2OH-- No gases are formed in the alkaline battery, unlike the dry cell. Oh, I neglected to mention that the damp paste inside the alkaline battery is basic, or alkaline (in case you did not notice) which is why Zn 's oxidation chemistry is different in this cell. The mercur (watch)battery is similar to the alkaline battery, but the cathode is mercury oxide...there is also som NaOH or KOH in the paste. The cathode reaction: HgO(s) + H2O(l) +2e- -) Hg(l) + 2OH- All three of these batteries have a common limitation; when the chemicals inside all reach equilibrium, the battery is useless and cannot be readily recharged (so it has to be thrown away, or, better yet, recycled). That is why a second kind of battery, called a "storage battery," has also been developed.
STORAGE BATTERIES: The most common kind of storage battery is the lead storage battery used in your car. The anode is made of porous lead (Pb) and the cathode is made of compressed lead oxide (PbO2). The electrodes are arranged in an alternating array, hanging in a bath of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and separated by thin fiberglass sheets. The anode reaction: Pb(s) + SO4(2-) (aq) -) PbSO4(s) +2e- . The cathode reaction is PbO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + SO4(aq) + 2 e- -) PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l). The upshot is that as the cell is used to supply electricity, both electrodes get coated with a film of lead sulfate and the sulfuric acid is consumed. Adding together these reactions properly, we get the overall chemistry: Pb(s)+PbO2(s)+2H2SO4(aq) -) 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l). By supplying electrical energy to the battery, this reaction can be reversed and the lead sulfate forced back into solution, and reconstituting the electrodes. This can only happen so many times, however, until the electrodes become so pitted and corroded that they cannot be reformed again. Then you go to Sears and buy a new one. Another storage battery is the rechargeable ni-cad batteries you buy at the store. "Ni-cad" is short for nickel-cadmium alkaline battery. The anode reaction: Cd(s) +2OH-(aq) -) Cd(OH)2(s) + 2e-. The cathode: NiOOH(s) + H2O(l) + e- -) Ni(OH)2(s) + OH- (aq). These are the most commonly used batteries and the chemistry by which they work. Please let me know if you need to know more about anodes, cathodes, oxidation, reduction, and so forth. I would like to mention that my source of information was the text "Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity" by Kotz and Purcell. It is a college-level chem text they use(d) at Yale when I taught there, and a wonderful source of general information.
