When Cadillac introduced the electric starter a century ago, it removed a chore — hand cranking — that had held back the automobile's market growth. The starter is noted in history, but few noticed the revolution in electrical systems it brought.
Batteries were needed to power starters, then generators — what we now call alternators — were needed to recharge batteries. Lead-acid chemical batteries replaced magnetos, which had previously provided current to spark plugs. For the rest of the 20th century, changing from positive to negative ground circuits and upgrading from 6-volt to 12-volt systems were the only advancements.
Today, we have gel-cells and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. They offer great advantages, but they're still just premium-priced variations on the electrochemical lead-acid system. They also have greater deep-cycle properties and higher energy density, but are heavier and more costly.
Where electricity comes from
When the engine turns an alternator, rotational energy becomes electricity. After passing through a voltage-regulator, the electricity flows to devices that do useful work. The alternator works when the engine runs, but when the engine's off batteries become necessary.
A fully charged battery remains inert until a circuit connects it to a device. Trucks use flooded-cell lead-acid batteries: high-purity lead alloy and lead oxide plates are immersed in a bath of diluted sulfuric acid.
When the battery's disconnected, nothing happens because the circuit is open. When the circuit to the starter is closed, large amounts of current flow to the starter motor. Like a generator in reverse, the starter uses electricity to turn the engine until it starts running on its own.
The chemical reaction combines lead from the plates with sulfur from the acid to form lead sulfate. That reaction releases electrons to do what we want done. Losing sulfur weakens the acid, lowering the battery's ability to release electricity. That's how batteries run down.
When the alternator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, it sends electrons back to the battery for charging. It changes lead sulfate back into pure lead and sends the sulfur back into the acid solution. This the process referred to as the discharge/recharge cycle.
Starting batteries — also called SLI batteries for "starter, lights, and ignition" — have thinner plates but more of them. Some have lead foam. They provide more current because they have more surface area, but don't run as long between discharges as thicker-plated deep-cycle batteries.
Having ample amps
Except for cranking amperage, batteries' properties are measured at 80 degrees F. Cranking amps (CA) are measured at water's freeze point of 32 degrees. Cold cranking amps (CCA) are measured at 0 degrees F.
At 80 degrees, battery output and amperage needed to crank a big diesel engine are assumed to be at 100%. Because oil thickens when cold, more current is needed. At 32 degrees , 65% more power is needed for starting; at zero, 150% more.
Engineers recommend a total of at least 1,800 CCA be available. That can be achieved with two 900 CCA batteries, but that leaves little reserve capacity for lights and blowers and no margin for error.
Today, most big trucks come with four batteries in the 650-to-675-CCA range or three in the 800-to-900-CCA range. Some use two 1,000-to-1,100- CCA starting batteries and two or more deep-cycle batteries to provide reserve capacity for lights, heaters, and fans.
Batteries versus capacitors
Most truck batteries tend to be optimized for starting engines, but this may soon change. New technologies like ultracapacitors and high-CCA batteries may allow fewer starting batteries, leaving room (and weight capacity) for additional deep-cycle batteries that are becoming a viable alternative to auxiliary generator units used to power accessories without idling.
Sometimes called supercapacitors or ultracapacitors, capacitors store electricity differently than batteries. Instead of using chemical reactions to store and discharge current, they accumulate electrons on one of two facing plates. Just one ultracapacitor can rapidly discharge the high amount of current needed to crank a diesel.
Capacitors can be discharged more than 75% and recharge in minutes. Lead-acid batteries, on the other hand, are fully discharged when they give up about 40% of their electrical energy. They then take hours to recharge, a process that's slowed even further in cold temperatures.
Capacitors do have their own issues and concerns, however. For an in-depth review, see Recommended Practice RP162www.truckline.com.
— Paul Abelson (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a former director of the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) of the American Trucking Associations, a board member of Truck Writers of North America, and active in the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Even low-tech batteries last longer with proper maintenance.
Most batteries last three to four years, but some absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries can last twice that long.
Dirt and corrosion can create a circuit that allows a battery to slowly discharge, and corroded terminals also drain batteries. To keep either from happening, brush disassembled posts and terminals with a baking soda paste and then flush thoroughly.
Temperature extremes shorten battery life. Too much heat can cook the water in the electrolyte out of a battery.
Be careful to avoid overcharging. Smart chargers use computer chips to measure state-of-charge and cut back amperage to avoid overheating.
Adding power takes more effort than just plugging in.
Capacitors offer undeniable benefits in terms of power capacity, quick charging, and cold-weather reliability. But do your homework before investing in the new equipment.
"If you make the move to capacitors, you have to have the right infrastructure in place," says Bruce Purkey, owner of Purkey's Fleet Electric in Rogers, Ark., and a member of the American Trucking Associations' Technology and Maintenance Council.
Although capacitors can discharge as much power as four batteries, they require different maintenance than flooded cell or absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. "You can't just buy a capacitor and expect it to take care of itself," Purkey warns, "or you'll end up with a very expensive boat anchor." He advises taking the following steps:

Three more teams booked their places to the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying as regional powers Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica all posted victories. Here is a rundown of their victories.
Mexico trounces Belize
So much for that huge upset in CONCACAF qualifying.
When Mexico only defeated Belize 2-0 in the first leg of their World Cup qualifying series there was at least a little speculation about whether the tiny Central American country could shock the world and knock off mighty Mexico.
Not so much.
The Mexicans scored seven unanswered goals to smash Belize, 7-0, to win the series and book their expected place in the third round of World Cup qualifying. Now Mexico joins a qualifying group that includes Honduras, Canada and Jamaica, with only two of the four teams advancing to the final round of World Cup qualifying.
Costa Rica tops Grenada, Guatamala rolls
Costa Rica booked its place to next round of qualifying with a 3-0 win against Grenada to record a 5-2 series victory. Alvaro Saborio, Bryan Ruiz and Randall Azofeifa all scored for 'Los Ticos' to book a place in a third round group that will include the winners of the Guyana-Suriname, Panama-El Salvador and Haiti-Netherland Antilles match-ups, which are all slated for completion today.
Guatemala also cruised in its second-leg match against St. Lucia, rolling to a 3-1 win to take a 9-1 series victory. Gonzalo Romero scored twice while Carlos Ruiz started and played 90 minutes for 'Los Chapines'. Guatemala became the first team to qualify for a group expected to include the United States and the winners of the Trinidad & Tobago/Bermuda and Cuba/Antigua and Barbuda series.
Justin O
There was talk a few years ago about Surinam allowing people to take dual citizenship. That would have seem to have huge implications for their soccer team, as there are plenty of quality players of Surinamese descent in Holland, who aren't good enough to be on the radar for the Dutch national team, but who could SEEMINGLY improve the Surinamese team dramatically.
Does anyone know if this ever happened?
Belize is terrible. To only win 7-0 is, by the standard Mexico should be playing to, an abject failure.
Mexico's group in the SF round is unfairly difficult. CONCACAF shoots itself in the foot with seedings like this. We need to make sure we have the best possible representation at the WC. Can't do this if we knock out viable contenders too early.
Justin O
The current set up does at least increase the possibility of seeing some new teams get into the final 12 and final 6. That's at least better from an entertainment stand point. At least to me. New blood is good.
Mexico might be in a tough group but I don't see any of those teams going to Mexico and taking and coming out with points
I think the main problem is how weak Costa Rica's group is. Trade out one of Honduras, Canada and Jamaica, and it's pretty even. In a way, it's fitting to put the two biggest under-performers in our region, Canada and Jamaica, in the same pressure packed group. I don't have too much sympathy, step up or go home.
I live in Costa Rica and must say that the national team here is considerably worse that in previous years, which makes their qualifying group that much worse. This is a team that should not even come close to qualifying, but probably will because 2 of the better teams will get eliminated, substantially increasing the probability they get through. I'm really pulling for Canada for 2010. They've made tremendous strides over the last 4 years and really deserve to have their hard work rewarded with a trip to South Africa. However, with their group being as difficult as it is, there's a strong chance that they may not even make it through. There's no doubt in my mind that 3 of the top four teams will play in the group of death. This new format by CONCACAF is a complete sham, one that truly favors the caribbean teams. That really shouldn't surprise us though as the president is from T&T and has constantly pushed to give fellow island teams a boost in whatever tournaments he can.
I agree Mexico's group is ridiculous. All four of those teams should be in the final group, imo. Mexico and Honduras are in the top 3 teams in CONCACAF (with the US). Canada and Jamaica both have some talent too.
All four of those teams should be in the final group, imo. My guess is the final group will include:
Costa Rica
when it should probably include:
Costa Rica

Episode 2
UEES Artemis, Halcyon System (Commander Tom O'Brian's Quarters): It has been two weeks since that dark life altering day. Every second after it, has been living in fear as if caught in a nightmare with no escape. His career was over. Everything he has ever lived for was spiraling out of control to an inevitable end. He was locked into his quarters earlier in the morning after computer glitch fried the containment fields in the brig. O'Brian sat there in the dimly lit room in his flight suit, knowing that he would never see the inside of a fighter again. In just a few minutes the Advocacy security team will arrive to transfer him to a prison transport for a direct flight to Earth for trial, conviction, and sentencing. His fate was already sealed. It was just a matter of time. An anonymous message appeared on his mobiglas.
FROM: #DG@#T%^^$f – TERMINAL ERROR *** DATA UNREADABLE***
SUBJECT: You do not know me, but there are some who know the truth of what happened. During your time in the Brig Shaw used his connections to falsify documents showing that you and your wife have been secretly meeting Vanduul spies. The Advocacy raided your home to take custody of your child and during the raid your wife was killed. Your son is being sent to a government ran orphanage. The Advocacy is compromised and the Judge for your case has already been paid off. You will be found guilty if you go to trial. I can h…*%^&#%^&%&****** DATA STREAM TERMINATED******
A strange message, one in which someone went though much effort to send through hacking the mobiglas datastream, but one that did nothing but cause more pain, and show how hopeless things have become.
O'Brian knew there was no escape…
Except maybe one… He reached over and grabbed the rough leather holster off the nightstand next to his bed. Inside the holster was an ancient firearm, passed down through many generation of his family with a story of how one of his ancestors carried it into his own fighter, back when fighters were still limited to speeds of less than sound and driven by propellers. The Advocacy neglected to search his quarters and only removed from him his issued laser pistol. As his hands pulled back on the cold steel slide of the firearm, he stared out at the cold cruel darkness of space. He let go of the slide and it snapped forward, chambering the first round from the magazine. He smiled slightly. At least Shaw would not get the satisfaction of O'Brian begging for death. O'Brian had at least that control left in his hand. How did it come to this? He slowly lifted the firearm up and began to tremble slightly, his willpower and anguish fighting against the natural instinct for survival. Now with the barrel against his temple, he placed his finger on the trigger and began to slowly pull the trigger back as he broke out into a cold sweat and closed his eyes…
A noise in the hallway… Footsteps…. They are here for him…. It is time…..
The door opens…
The trigger pulled back, releasing the hammer onto the firing pin…
A loud female scream….
O'Brian was alive. He opened his eyes and saw a female pilot in her flight suit running to him yelling "Stop! No!" He lowered the firearm and pulled back on the slide ejected the chambered round. As the round came out of the gun he saw that it was a training dummy round. He thought about trying again, as the next round in the magazine was a live round… But the female now beside him grabbed the gun from him and said "Don't even think about it! I can help you, but we need to move! Now! The message I tried to send you blew my cover! You tried to do the right thing! This isn't your fault! Come with me, live, get revenge, and help fight this corruption! Don't let it end this way! You are a warrior, do not take the coward's way out!"
O'Brian, face now full of tears and shaking terribly muttered a weak "Who are you?"
The female responded back sternly "There is no time for that! Please trust me or we BOTH will be dead. Snap out of your self-pity!" This direct approach reminded O'Brian a lot of how his wife was when O'Brian was stressed out during the Naval Academy. Somehow it worked. To further its impact the female pilot in front of him wiped his face with part of her flight suit, comforting him. He realized she was right. Perhaps that dummy round was a sign. Standing in front of him was hope for revenge. Hope to do something that mattered, hope at getting his son back. Hope for standing up for what is good and right in the universe.
"Ok, I am with you, but where? How?" O'Brian asked, rubbing his face clear of tears. Escaping a Bengal carrier taskforce is a daunting task! How would it be possible? As he spoke he grabbed his firearm and put it in the holster and strapped the holster around his waist with the leather belt it came with.
"I have a fully armed Retaliator warmed up on the flight deck. Don't ask me how it is arranged, just know that it is. There is a jump point on the far side of the system that goes to a system called "Old Haven", it isn't charted by the UEE, but some of us know this system as home, and that is where we will go. We will be safe there." Suddenly a Klaxon blared.
The announcement rang out over the ship-wide intercom. This was not going to be easy. Letting out a sigh, O'Brian looked over at the female pilot, and after a second of sizing her up, and thinking the plan over, he spoke up "Ok, lead the way, I'm in. Let's roll!"

Former Orange Co. teacher loses certificate after allegations she made sex comments
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A former Orange County
middle-school teacher has been banned from returning to a Florida public school classroom after some of her students said she made graphic sexual comments.
Students said the eighth-grade teacher actually asked students if they'd have sex with her, and that's just one of the things she's accused of.
Lenise Faulk resigned from Wolf Lake Middle School in Apopka, after just one year on the job.
She has turned in her teaching certificate and apparently has no plans to fight the state on the accusations.
Faulk was a gym teacher at Wolf Lake.
School officials said it was a year full of troubling,
sexually charged behavior.
"Any time you see information like this, it concerns you," said Chris Decule, father of a seventh-grade girl, after reading some of the comments attributed to Faulk.
WFTV's Kenneth Craig obtained a document permanently revoking Faulk's teaching certificate.
According to the paperwork, in May of 2011 Faulk showed eighth graders a picture of herself in a bathing suit and in explicit language asked if the students if she was naked would they have sex with her. And, would they have sex with her if she was swinging from a rope, naked.
Initially, Faulk was suspended from her job, but then quickly resigned.
"She shouldn't be allowed around children if she's going to do that kind of stuff there. That's highly inappropriate," said parent Gmerice Lafayette.
The documents said the teacher also called one young student insulting names, used profanity and would join her students in conversations about sex.
"I'm shocked. Honestly, I can't imagine somebody doing that," said Lafayette.
Faulk didn't respond to Craig's offer to let her tell her side

Chapter Twenty-Two, Part One: Michelangelo's The Creation of KennyMature
The Doctor crumples at the edge of the pulpit, his right hand straining down to reach. He is holding Kenny by pure thought, but he will tire eventually.
His left thumb is clicking the bud on the Rose Ring back and forth. Back and forth. So frantically.
A scream rakes his throat again. His sinew rebels, the stria beginning to pluck away inside him like fiddle string from the largest point closest to the Eye; his stomach. Inside his head, he tears his senses away from it and reaches down and strains again. Jewels of cold sweat mingle with the blood from the wound in his side, making little opal droplets that pull away even as they freeze, because the gravity well of lost Qqaba is ripping even the clothes from his back. And he's not the only one still alive in the hall.
With what little psychic strength he can spare, he feeds the anchor he's got on Kenny while he writhes on the pulpit floor. No dignity left.
He opens his mouth to speak, but a man is standing over him.
A man with black hair like death and blue eyes the color of a snowstorm at sea. When had he decided to…?

THE gut-wrenching 43-year drought is finally about to break — the Rabbitohs are ready to win their first NRL premiership since 1971.
South Sydney — preparing for Thursday night's massive match against Canterbury at ANZ Stadium — attracted overwhelming support to claim this year's title in a Daily Telegraph online fan poll.
More than 40 per cent of the 10,000 respondents claimed Souths would create history by securing this season's competition.
The Rabbitohs were clear winners from Manly (27.2 per cent) and then the Sydney Roosters (10.2). No other side was in double figures.
The Daily Telegraph will publish the full poll results on Friday.
"There are a number of contenders this year and we have put up our hand all year," said Souths legend Mario Fenech. "We still have to deliver and these are now the championship rounds.
"It would be great for us to go win-win over the final two rounds and take that confidence into the finals. You have to have a different attitude at this time of year.
"People are seeing the strength in our pack and our strike power. We have a big pack with good go-forward. The injection of Luke Keary has helped Adam Reynolds. Keary is a real chatterbox."
Souths chief executive Shane Richardson said fans' opinion should be valued — but it didn't guarantee finals success.
"I think it shows how many Souths fans are out there and how much goodwill there is for us," Richardson said. "We have 30,000 members and a lot of them are the true believers.
"A lot of fans want us to win and we do too. But it (a poll) doesn't mean we will win the premiership. It won't make a difference in how we go in the finals."
The poll also threw-up a future star in Souths centre Dylan Walker.
Asked 'which NSW young talent is most likely to play Origin in 2015', nearly 33 per cent of fans voted for Walker.
Penrith's Josh Mansour attracted nearly 20 per cent of the vote, Souths half-back Adam Reynolds next on 10.5 per cent.
"I don't doubt Dylan will be a successful and great South Sydney player in the future," Fenech said. "He is quick, calm and tough."
Thursday's Souths-Canterbury game should be brutal.
Both sides will send out giant forward packs who will no doubt tear into one-another.
South Sydney icon John Sattler said recently he admires Rabbitohs forward Sam Burgess.
"If there is one current Rabbitoh I feel a special affinity with, it is Sam Burgess. For a Pom, he's not a bad bloke," Sattler said.
"Seriously, Sam could become one of rugby league's true greats. I know he's had some issues with his discipline in defence, but in my view he's the most damaging forward in the code today."

Panaji,June 16(UNI) With the Democle's Sword of ESMA hanging on the head and a split among employees becoming imminent, the Goa Government Employees Association (GGEA) announced ''staying'' of their indefinite pen-down agitation with immediate effect late tonight.
This was declared at a hurriedly convened press conference by the association president M.L.Shetkar. He indicated that the association was ready to hold discussions further with the government tomorrow.
While one section of the employees association was in favour of accepting whatever the government had offered during the discussions earlier, another group was against and wanted to continue with the strike launched since last friday.
This led to the association president staying the strike with immediate effect and going in for further negotiations.

Negotiated Mergers & Acquisitions (S)
This seminar introduces students to the principal business and legal issues found in and raised by mergers and acquisitions transactions and highlights the significant role that lawyers play in structuring, managing and effecting these complex transactions. The seminar will begin with an overview of how and why mergers and acquisitions take place. The course will then cover the mergers and acquisitions process, including deal-making strategies the corporate law affords, and will proceed through all aspects of the life of an M&A deal from inception to closing (and beyond). The seminar will cover how M&A lawyers negotiate and document the inherent risk allocations of business combinations. We will examine deal terms and structures, risk defining and shifting devices, and the role of the lawyer in managing the process. We will also highlight the due diligence process, stockholder relationships, fiduciary duties and securities laws considerations, and liquidity considerations. Theoretical readings will be balanced against practical articles and commentary, recent court decisions and model deal documents. The assigned reading will include materials from real deals and transaction documents. Students are encouraged to analyze and discuss the real-world problems faced by parties, legal counselors and courts called upon to judge such transactions. The seminar will be highlighted by guest lectures by experts in international M&A and Delaware jurisprudence. Students will be required to participate in mock negotiations/discussions. In addition, there will be a short final exam. Grades will be based on class participation and written materials (70%), which may include required email submissions prior to class and mock negotiations/discussions during class, and a final exam (30%).

It's been a difficult few years in India, with political turmoil and the spectre of corruption crippling the country's business sector. Against that backdrop even the country's leading firms have had a tough time.
With the election of a new prime minister earlier this year, however, the political paralysis has begun to ease and one firm in particular has set out an ambitious growth strategy. Amarchand & Mangaldas currently has just over 700 lawyers in its ranks but managing partner Shardul Shroff says the firm "may surprise [itself] by crossing 800 lawyers this year".
To help it on its way Amarchand has just launched an office in Gurgaon, its eighth in the country, and plans to tap into work coming from the wealth of Fortune 500 companies that are based in the National Capital Region city.
With no new partner hires to staff the office as yet, though, it may need more than just good fortune to hit its headcount target.

This rich, fragrant lotion is the equivalent of a silk body glove. Packed with shea butter, antioxidant-rich vitamin E, and nourishing botanical extracts, we love layering this on over clean skin for long-lasting moisture. Beyond just how great it makes us feel, we're also fanatical about the memorable scents, which literally linger for hours.
Both body lotions had a good moisturizing formula that was not greasy. It absorbed very quickly into my skin. The Eucalyptus fragrance was very strong, and somewhat masculine. The fragrance lasted all day, but the lasting note was the more masculine one. The Kimono Rose fragrance was my favorite of the two...very feminine and sweet. The fragrance faded quicker than the Eucalyptus, but for overall preference I would see myself purchasing the Kimono Rose over the Eucalyptus.4
I really liked the Eucalyptus smell- it sort of smells like Coast soap. Very fresh and clean. I think men would like it as well. I have really sensitive skin though, so for an actual body lotion, I need Eucerin or something simliar. This is a nice post- handwashing pick me up!4

Drepung Loseling Monastery Monks Kick Off Global Weekends Event
by AMNH on
On Tuesday, January 25, the Museum kicked off the six-day Global Weekends: Brain and the Tibetan Creative Mind program with a traditional opening ceremony performed by monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery. Known in Tibet as Sa-chong, the ceremony, which includes chants, music, and mantras, prepared the area for the creation of a sand mandala. Over the next four days, the monks will complete the "Medicine Buddha" sand mandala in the Hall of Birds of the World.
Visit the Museum to see a traditional cham performance, learn about Tibetan arts, watch the making of the sand mandala, and more. The full schedule is available here. And, check out the clip of Tuesday's opening ceremony below.
SciCafe: This is Your Brain on Drugs
by AMNH on
How do drugs and drug use impact the brain? In this podcast from a recent SciCafe, Carl Hart, Associate Professor at Columbia University, shared his latest research and his sometimes surprising findings.
The program kicked off with an introduction by Rob DeSalle, Curator in the Museum's Division of Invertebrate Zoology and curator of the ongoing exhibition "Brain: The Inside Story."
The next SciCafe, "Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World," takes place on February 2, 2011. Learn more about this popular after-hours series featuring cocktails and conversation about cutting-edge science topics.

Brain Beat: Meditation and the Brain
by AMNH on
The goal of meditation — the act of consciously directing one's attention to alter one's state of being — is to take control of the mind so that it becomes peaceful, focused, and more aware. Going beyond the mental and emotional benefits, a new field of study known as contemplative neuroscience is revealing the real, physical effects of meditation on the brain. Using modern neuroimaging and electrophysiological methods, scientists can measure how the brain changes in response to contemplative practices.
This week, neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson,director of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the University Wisconsin-Madison, will join other experts for a panel discussion about Tibetan Meditation, Brain, and the Arts (Thursday, January 27) and speak about how to Change Your Brain by Transforming Your Mind (Saturday, January 29). Visitors can also take part in Tibetan meditation at the Museum at one of many free meditation sessions led by Khen Rinpoche Geshe Kachen Lobzang Tsetan, abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in India. The Museum is celebrating Tibetan culture throughout the week, as part of the six-day Global Weekends: Brain and the Tibetan Creative Mind program, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Brain: The Inside Story.
In the meantime, check out a couple of recent articles on meditation and the brain:
"Can meditation change your brain? Contemplative neuroscientists believe it can," a post on the CNN Belief blog, explores recent studies on the effects of meditation on the brain, including those conducted by Davidson, that have found that committed meditators experienced long-term changes in brain function. Research has shown that regions of the brain associated with positive emotions indicated an increase in activity — even in novice meditators.
A new study led by Massachusetts General Hospital researchers indicates that mindfulness meditation training can change the brain's structure in just eight weeks. Participants who meditated for about 27 minutes per day showed increased gray-matter density in the hippocampus, the region of the brain important for memory and learning. Decreased gray-matter density in the amygdala, the region of the brain that plays a role in anxiety and stress, was also apparent.
Decision Making and the Brain
by AMNH on
On Thursday, January 20, neuroscientist Paul Glimcher of New York University and Rob DeSalle, curator of Brain: The Inside Story, will discuss the interdisciplinary field of neuroeconomics and how the brain enables humans to evaluate decisions, categorize risks and rewards, and interact with each other. Glimcher, whose books include Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain and Foundations of Neuroeconomic Analysis, recently answered a few questions about the discipline.
What is neuroeconomics?
Neuroeconomics is a highly synthetic and interdisciplinary effort to understand how both humans and animals make decisions.
What role does neuroeconomics play in our daily lives?
Decisions — the events that neuroeconomists seek to understand and predict — are embedded every aspect of our lives: what to have for breakfast, who to marry, or where to invest our retirement accounts. We make these choices effortlessly, but how? Over the last decade the basic outlines of the answer to that question have begun to become clear and the answers are surprising, exciting, and at times even troubling. It now seems clear that every day, at every action, our brains unconsciously compute and store the values of every event that befalls us. So I would have to say: neuroeconomics is our daily lives.
Brain Tweetup Roundup
by AMNH on
"Tweeting is a lot like the nervous system," Curator Rob DeSalle told the crowd that gathered on Wednesday, January 12 for the first-ever Tweetup at the American Museum of Natural History—a comparison all the more appropriate coming from DeSalle, who curated the Museum's interactive exhibition Brain: The Inside Story.
The evening kicked off with an after-hours tour of the exhibition, where Tweeters got a look inside a dancer's brain, tried connecting neurons, and attempted to speak foreign languages. There was also time to talk with DeSalle and co-curator Joy Hirsch.
After refreshments, tweeters headed behind the scenes to learn about the brains of other creatures from Museum scientists and to get a peek at Museum collections. Christine Johnson, a curatorial associate in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, discussed group decision-making and chemical triggers in ants. Ronald Clouse, a post-doctoral researcher, presented specimens of crustaceans and a few echinoderms while discussing how some of these simple organisms make sophisticated decisions.
To see all the tweets about the event, look for the hashtag #AMNHTweetup or check out the photos on Flickr-and stay tuned for information about upcoming Tweetups at the American Museum of Natural History.

In the context of structural equation modeling, a general interaction model with multiple latent interaction effects is introduced. A stochastic analysis represents the nonnormal distribution of the joint indicator vector as a finite mixture of normal distributions. The Latent Moderated Structural Equations (LMS) approach is a new method developed for the analysis of the general interaction model that utilizes the mixture distribution and provides a ML estimation of model parameters by adapting the EM algorithm. The finite sample properties and the robustness of LMS are discussed. Finally, the applicability of the new method is illustrated by an empirical example.

Krush Catoure The Connect x Tee Smif®_Ep1 [Video]
Well it's finally here, the first episode of my show "THE CONNECT w/Krush". Why "THE CONNECT"? Krush chose the name because she always believed that no matter where you are in the world you are connected whether it be by human relationships, art, music or life experience there is always some type of element that will connect two or more individuals together.
The shows premise is to join, link, or fasten together; unite or bind: to connect generations by one commonality, whether it be Music, Art, Love or Passion. We want viewers to be able to walk away inspired by the lives of different individuals who have gotten to live their dreams in many different facets of the entertainment industry. So with all that being said I will like to introduce to you an individual who has supported me 100% with this project; a person who has taken the time out of his busy schedule to not only edit but act as camera man and producer on the show. She would like to introduce to you my really good friend and mentor Theron "Tee Smif" Smith.
Krush had the chance to sit down with him to discuss his life experiences in the film/television industry. Tee has been an active force within in the film and television industry. He has worked on and with Spike Lee on many of Spike's films. He has also worked on the Jay-Z documentary "Fade to Black" as well as working as the producer for several years on MTV2's "Sucka Free" with DJ Envy. So with out further a due I present to you "THE CONNECT w/Krush".

Left handers shooting Left in hockey
Seen a thread earlier on this and I just noticed something. I know hockey is about 50/50 when it comes to the hand people shoot. But everyone I know who writes left handed shoots right in hockey. Does anyone or has anyone ever met someone who writes left that shoots left? I haven't.:sarcasm:
Are you asking about the everyday beer league player or NHL players? I myself write left handed and shoot left handed; it just feels more natural.
i'm all lefty :) feels more comfy that way, especially for shooting.
This is actually something I've followed for most of my life (I am a goaltender) and have studied brain lateralization.
rougly one third of hockey players shoot with their stronger hand on the bottom; meaning left shooting lefties or right shooting righties. Now the NHL these stats are somewhat skewed from the natural average; it is much harder to play defense that way because if you hold the stick in one hand, you hold it in your top hand so it is difficult if your top hand is your non-dominant one.
Also considered that a person who can naturally shoot either way would likely shoot with their stronger hand on top to make it easier when they have 1 hand on the stick. Or a goaltender who can hold the stick in either hand but can only shoot one way, would ensure they catch on their shooting side (Greg Millen admitted to doing this)
To answer your above question, Donald Brashear was a left-handed fighter and shooter. Jose Theodore catches right (and thus is left-handed) and shoots left. I should state that goaltending figures are also skewed; a lot of goalies learn to shoot on their catching side even if this is not natural and a goalie who has to switch the stick over to shoot (dwayne roloson, curtis joseph, Jonas Enroth) would have a disadvantage hence why there's likely fewer.
So if you go by the natural averages, 1/3 people shoot with their dominant hand on the bottom and 1/11 people are left-handed so the natural odds should indicate 3% of people are left-shooting lefties.
on the current leafs, most lefties- schenn, armstrong and franson shoot right
it's no different than most righties shooting left in hockey, thus it's not a 50/50 split at all
there are more left handed shooting players when you go up to a higher level of hockey
on a beer league where you see a lot of hockey noobs you might see more right handed shots, because players have picked up the game late, and believe they can derive more power from their bottom hand
they go for power without even realizing that the top hand is most crucial for control
Steve Jensen, former NHL player and director of the hockey camp I attended, told me that he's left handed and he shoots left.
Actually, it always annoys me that whenever I play hockey with beginners who picked up the sport as an adult, they are mostly all righthanded people who play with righty sticks. Everyone assumes that righthanded = righty stick because that's what you do in baseball and golf. Someone at the hockey shop should tell them to try a lefty stick first, so that their dominant hand is on top.
I can see why people would assume that R=R and L=L though.
You're right - they are rare:
A few others that haven't been mentioned:
Tomas Kaberle
Daniel Sedin (reportedly)
Guillaume Latendresse (reportedly)
Chris Simon(?)
Mark Janssens(?)
I've actually been very interested in handedness generally pretty much since I was a little kid and noticed on NHL 96 that the majority of the players shot lefty. Of course, I thought this was weird because the vast majority of people are right-handed.
Going into the present, I've still been fascinated with handedness, particularly as it applies to hockey, and to a lesser extent, baseball. And after researching the topic, I've come to these conclusions:
Conclusion 1. Handedness in things were you use both hands simultaneously is not cut and dry. Instead, it is a complex animal.
- How do you open a jar? How do you shoot pool? Which hand is on top when you swing a baseball bat? If you ride a bike with one hand, which hand are you more comfortable leaving on the handlebar?
All of these things use both hands at the same time and if you look at them, people do them many different ways. I hold a jar with my right hand and twist the cap with my left. I shoot pool left-handed. I bat right-handed. I'm far more comfortable guiding a bike with my left hand.
Now, I throw right-handed and write right-handed, which are the two main indicators people use for hand dominance. But, I happen to shoot right-handed in hockey, which theoretically is the wrong way. I think qmechanic is correct that a lot of ignorant adults picking up the game just say "derp, I'm right-handed, so I need a right-handed stick." And, a lot of ignorant parents whose kids want to play hockey say "derp, my kid is right-handed, so the kid needs a right-handed stick."
But I certainly picked up a stick at a young age, and right handed felt right correct to me. I think that based on shooting pool left-handed, this makes sense.
Conclusion 2. I think that a comment I saw on the internet from an old guy that runs a hockey shop said it very well: to determine what curve a kid should use, see how the kid holds a shovel. I always shovelled snow with my right hand on the bottom and my left hand on the top, and I play hockey the same way.
Its weird.
i played street hockey 10 years ago with 10 or so immigrant kids who all picked up the game late and everyone shot with their dominant hand down 10/10
imo it's likely more proper to shoot with the dominant hand on top even though it may not feel comfortable at first because power will come and your stick handling will be way better
Joe Thornton punches with his left and shoots left.
shoveling requires way more power rather than finesse
I took up the sport around the age of 7, my dad gave me a flat bladed stick and I just held it right handed. My right hand is my dominant hand, so I shoot right and do just about everything right-handed, I think it's more a matter of preference than anything.
I do notice that MOST people hold the stick with their dominant hand at the top though.
I'm also 'right-handed' and shoot Right, which as mentioned, seems 'technically' wrong. But it's not a product of picking up the game late in life or anything. I started playing at a very young age, and my father is right-handed and shoots left, so it's not as though he was unaware of this and just bought me the wrong stick or anything.
I've spent the last 3 years coaching minor baseball and the most challenging aspect is trying to figure out a kids dominant hand, particularly in T-ball. They come in a pick up a ball and throw it from their right, catch with their right then throw with their left next time and so on... usually I end up having their parents fill out a questionaire to see how they do different tasks at home. It's suprising how many parents think their child is right or left handed and they turn out to be wrong.
I write left and shoot left. I'm a lefty at virtually everything.
both Sedin twins shoot left but I do know that one is left-handed (common among identical twins), I think Henrik is the lefty but not postiive.
I write left, shoot left, and do everything else with my right.
Count me in as well, although i'm a bit of an oddball.
Write, hockey, golf, bat, bowl, basketball, shoot a gun, and throw a football with my left.
Throw a baseball, billiards, soccer/kicking a football, and pull a bow with my right.
Table tennis, tennis and similar raquet sports i'm a lefty, but i can confidently switch hands on the raquet and feel in control.
i'm right handed, shoot left
Lefty here shooting left. I'm left at most things but some things feel more comfortable right (tennis).

The Story of the Silver Cross
She held the cross in her hand, without the suns light it just lay in her hand but the mark on her chest was still there, just the solemn cross, red and dead center above her heart.
The silver cross was much like the bangles around her wrists. She could not take them off they were there to prove that 'The Almighty' was against her. She turned it round in her hand.
He, the man gave them to her well I say gave, more like imprisoned her within them. The silver burnt into her flesh. But everytime they were removed they simply healed overtime so he sought out a design that would burn her forever, so he found the cross, the sign of crucifiction. She looked over at Konrad, she wouldn't let him do this on his own but... the time wasn't right for her to interject yet.

Hi, guys:
I need to migrate data from external tables to normal tables. But the connection is always frozen half the way of executing script. The error message is ORA-00257. it looks redo log file is full. I tried to delete redo log file with RMAN, but I got this error message:
You don't delete redo logs at all. You can delete archivelogs with rman, which is what your command is trying to do. Do you ever backup the archivelogs? A proper backup/recovery policy would backup the archivelogs on at least a daily (if not more often) basis, and delete them after they are backed up. That will keep the archivelog destination from filling up in all but the most extreme circumstances.
delete archivelog until time 'trunc(sysdate)';
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

'Giselle' is the cornerstone of the Romantic ballet rep, and the Royal Ballet's production is a gorgeous one. The story of a peasant girl betrayed and driven to madness is a plum role for its leading ballerina. There'll be six different casts during the run and our top tips are Marianela Nuñez – always a heartbreaker – and new Russian import Natalia Osipova, an intense performer who, when the story turns supernatural, is guaranteed to spook.

Both were bitter conflicts involving large sections of the literate population of the US. Our "dictionary wars", on the other hand, are ritual. Every year the publishers wheel out their latest heavy ordnance, and an exchange of fire takes place. We're more up-to-date than you: you're offensive to minorities. We have a bigger computer: you don't include so many words.
As publishing in Britain has become more commercial, so the skirmishings have intensified. New dictionaries are promoted essentially as lists of wacky new words, guaranteed to appear in the newspapers, no matter how silly, useless or suspect.
But for every "digizine", "gym rat" or "webisode", some sensible, useful and genuinely difficult word may have been sacrificed. Seasoned sub-editors still wail about the edition of Chambers which removed "jeremiad" in favour of the likes of "muggee" and "boob-tube", neologisms that were dead before the ink was dry.
Since heavyweight dictionaries are often sold shrink-wrapped, like frozen chickens, purchasers have to judge by the blurb or the weight. Bigger must be better, surely? The new player this summer was a real heavyweight, bristling with smart weapons. And the Encarta World English Dictionary, proudly published by Bloomsbury at pounds 30, has Bill Gates on its side.
Bloomsbury insists that the 2,200 page monster is all its own work. Kathy Rooney, editor-in-chief, says that Microsoft only became involved when Bloomsbury sold it the electronic rights to a project it had already conceived. Nonetheless, calling it Encarta - a meaningless but "tony" name invented by an advertising agency - should be worth a fortune.
The existing Encarta CD-ROM Encyclopaedia has sold 2.5 million copies already. Bloomsbury's handsome doorstop will be joined in September by an all-singing, all-earning Microsoft CD-ROM, curiously priced at a penny less. That, in turn, will be incorporated into the Microsoft Encarta Reference Suite, a DVD-ROM destined to be given away with perhaps half the personal computers in the world.
In software, the winner takes all. Microsoft's Office suite does everything competently enough to have destroyed the market for makers of dedicated word processors, databases, spreadsheets and the rest. Bloomsbury's dictionary, by sheer coincidence, takes the same approach.
Aiming their sights squarely at the biggest target, the Oxford University Press, the Bloomsbury team have stopped just short of calling the Oxford dictionaries imperialist, racist, sexist and everything else that's bad. Oxford's empire dates from the days when almost everyone was - by modern standards - all those things. But it is learning quickly. Its "spoiler" last week was to announce that it was taking the war into cyberspace, with the Oxford English Dictionary going on-line next year, including a whole raft of new material about English's history as well as its geography.
As for imperialism, Oxford's editors pointed out that it has always valued regional forms of English. James Murray, original editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, was a Scot. Robert Burchfield, editor of the 20th century supplements, was a New Zealander. Oxford produces dictionaries of South African, Australian and New Zealand English, using local sources. Some in the Oxford camp even suggested that perhaps Bloomsbury's "world" English was what the rest of us call "American".
Dr Rooney, who seems almost as familiar with marketing as she is with headwords and lexemes, is not shy about her dictionary's provenance. "We needed a USP to make a new dictionary justify itself," she explains. "You can't just say, `Let's do a dictionary'. You have to have a real rationale."
The big idea was that the dictionary would be compiled simultaneously in British English and American English. Every long-winded process would be done twice. The resultant British and American versions differ by only 10 per cent in words defined but by up to 25 per cent in the supporting text. Some 320 editors around the world were involved. Bloomsbury claims Encarta is the "first dictionary to reflect the diversity of the English language as it is spoken across the globe".
"The discovery that there are a number of Englishes in the world is hardly a new one," counters Michael Quinion, creator of World Wide Words (http://quinion.com/ words) one of the best word-related sites on the Web, and a contributor to various OUP dictionaries. He points out that written world English is actually fairly standard: the variety comes with spoken Englishes, and a single-volume dictionary can't begin to tackle those.
In truth, Encarta is an American dictionary, in philosophy as much as in lexicon. Jonathon Green, in his fascinating history of lexicography, Chasing The Sun, notes that American dictionaries have always been mass- market products. Apparently 87 per cent of American homes have a dictionary: sometimes it is their only book.
Consequently, it has to be encyclopaedic in scope, including biographical, geographical and historical material. It is prescriptive. It eschews swear-words and obscenities. And it is used: for settling arguments, for playing Scrabble, and for asking "Did you know that `gullible' is not in the dictionary?"
The Encarta World English Dictionary, British edition, follows this pattern, even including an apparently random selection of line-drawings. Bloomsbury admits a debt to the 1979 Collins English Dictionary, the first British dictionary on the American pattern. It is also very like the red vinyl three-volume Readers' Digest Great Encyclopaedic Dictionary of the 1970s, which had the same implied promise: the only reference book you will ever need. It wasn't.
Encarta also bears a strong visual resemblance to OUP's New Oxford Dictionary of English of 1998. It borrows the running pronunciation guide along the bottom of each spread, although Bloomsbury has invented its own (raather iddi o sing krattik) system to replace phonetics.
Encarta does list taboo words, but handles them with rubber gloves. Here's "shag": "vti. OFFENSIVE TERM an offensive term referring to sexual intercourse (slang taboo) n. OFFENSIVE TERM an act of sexual intercourse (slang offensive)". I think we can conclude that the compilers of Encarta consider "shag" offensive.
Still, it has endless neologisms, non-British English and foreign words. It has new, clear but wordy definitions, which it prints twice, once abbreviated in bold capitals as a "quick definition" and then in normal type. This is a waste of space.
It is strong on science, technology and computers. It even cites web- pages, a dubious step given that many sites have the longevity and inherent worth of a soap-bubble. There is also a picture of Bill Gates in "G", alongside Gandhi, Galileo, President Garfield (who?) and Marvin Gaye.
There are mini-essays on etymology, varieties of English and usage, in which Bloomsbury lays out its PC credentials. These extend even to the definitions: "Bedlam" is defined as "psychiatric hospital (archaic)" which might suggests that sensitivity has over-ridden historical awareness. Encarta is, of course, a product of an age which believes that the right to take offence is sacred. "Sensitivity trap", it warns: "The use of America to mean North America is liable to cause offence to Canadians, and should be avoided." In the case of "nigger", no fewer than 15 of the 25 words of definition are simply there to tell us it is offensive. Then comes an essay, "Racism trap", which explains that "those who persist in using it should remember that their use of the word reflects directly upon them, the users." Good advice, but from your mother, not a dictionary.
In the end, the globalist, anti-imperialist pretensions of the project are barely sustained. The non-British words come across as exotica, stripped of context and included at the expense of useful words from the core vocabulary of world English. Was there ever a more "imperialist" idea than producing a single dictionary of all the world's Englishes, rather than producing dictionaries of those varieties, edited in their home territory? And was there ever a more unlikely anti-imperialist than "William Henry Gates III (b.1955) US entrepreneur"?
In many ways, the Encarta dictionary is a remarkable achievement, compiled from scratch in eight years. The end product is full of information and interest, and even a modest amount of entertainment. But you wouldn't want to rely on it as your only dictionary. Still, they can probably fix that in the upgrade. Roll on Encarta World English Dictionary 2.0.
