Shettlesworth is uniquely positioned to offer the firm's disaster survival kits. He survived the catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. The eruption was the deadliest in U.S. history and Shettlesworth was living 20 miles away from the blast center. He's also weathered several category 3 hurricanes.

2011-11-23
The German producer of special-purpose vehicles GSF Sonderfahrzeugbau has chosen a lithium ion battery based power solution from Clayton Power for their vehicles. This innovative technology helps them keep down the total payload and saves weight for other types of modern technology equipment.

Sales manager Mr. Eckhard Last explains how GSF has managed to ...
Surprising pathway implicated in stuttering
2011-11-23
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have obtained new evidence that at least some persistent stuttering is caused by mutations in a gene governing not speech, but a metabolic pathway involved in recycling old cell parts.
Beyond a simple association, the study provides the first evidence that mutations affecting cellular recycling centers called lysosomes actually play a role in causing some people to stutter.
"This was extremely unexpected," says senior author Stuart A. Kornfeld, MD, the David C. and Betty Farrell Professor of Medicine. ...
The best way to market fine wine: Teach and learn or wine and dine?
2011-11-23
Los Angeles, CA (November 22, 2011)) According to new research, wine promoters may want to spend more money on brochures and flyers and less money on wine tastings as they market to novice wine drinkers. A recent study published in Cornell Hospitality Quarterly (a SAGE journal) finds that without teaching about the background and process of wine production, new wine drinkers can be more easily influenced by advertising to make their purchases than their experienced counterparts.
Authors Kathryn A. LaTour, Michael S. LaTour, and Andrew H. Feinstein wrote that while the ...

2011-11-23
Expert Software Applications announced today the immediate availability of Mindomo Presenter - a radical new way to present Mind Maps online and offline. The strength of Mind Maps comes from their brain-friendly hierarchical structure. However, that strength is also a weakness when it comes to sharing a mind map.
"A mind map has a single starting point and it has multiple ending points, it has no single path which will guide you trough every idea in a mind map. When creating a mind map there is no way to include a guidance to viewers which would make it easy to ...

Evolutionary practices in schools can benefit at-risk students
2011-11-22
BINGHAMTON, NY – Helping at-risk high schoolers succeed in the classroom has always been difficult. Binghamton University Professor David Sloan Wilson thinks that he has a solution: design a school program that draws upon general theories of social behavior.
Wilson, who has studied the evolution of social behavior throughout his career, recently had an opportunity to advise a new program for at-risk 9th and 10th graders in the upstate community of Binghamton, NY. Known as the Regents Academy, the program initiated in the Binghamton City School District was a huge success ...
Research group proposes first system for assessing the odds of life on other worlds
2011-11-22
PULLMAN, Wash. – Within the next few years, the number of planets discovered in orbits around distant stars will likely reach several thousand or more. But even as our list of these newly discovered "exoplanets" grows ever-longer, the search for life beyond our solar system will likely focus much more narrowly on the relatively few of these new worlds which exhibit the most Earth-like of conditions.
For much of the scientific community, the search for alien life has long been dominated by the notion that our own planet serves as the best model of conditions best suited ...
