...debate. If the Cash for Clunkers program or the homebuyers' tax credit is any guide, the number would be relatively high. Car-research firm Edmunds estimates that just 18% of the nearly 700,000 automobiles that were bought through the Cash for Clunkers program were a result of the stimulus. The rest, 82%, went to people who would have gotten new wheels anyway. The $8,000 homebuyer tax credit did a little better. In that instance, economists estimate that 33% of the 1.4 million people who collected the credit bought a home because of the government assistance. (See the worst...
...rather than a distinct event that helps solidify memories. Harvard researcher Dale Stevens believes he has more or less ruled out the former possibility by showing that even tasks that produce similar levels of neural activity while they are being performed, such as recognizing a face versus a landscape, result in different levels of activity after each task is completed. In Stevens' studies, brain activity remained high after people viewed landscapes, but was much lower after they looked at faces. People tend to be much better at remembering landscapes than faces, so it makes sense that those differences would...
...were 19 times as likely to be debilitated. Of the dozen brains of CTE victims McKee has examined, 10 were from either linemen or linebackers; some scientists now fear that the thousands of lower-impact, or "subconcussive," blows these players receive, even if they don't result in documented concussions, can be just as damaging as - if not more so than - the dramatic head injuries that tend to receive more attention and intensive treatment...
...very-short-yardage situations. "You wouldn't be firing out, I guess," says New York Jets guard Alan Faneca, initially skeptical when asked his thoughts about this change. "I'd buy that." Starting linemen upright in a "two-point" stance - two feet, no hands on the ground - would result in more blocking with the arms and hands...
...year. Most important, India managed to achieve its substantial growth without putting its banking sector at risk. In fact, India's banks have remained quite conservative through the downturn, especially compared with Chinese lenders. Growth of credit, for example, was actually lower in 2009 than in 2008. As a result, economists see continued strength in India's banks. A January report by economic-research outfit Centennial Asia Advisors noted that based on available data, "there was no sign that domestic banks' nonperforming assets were deteriorating materially." Nor do analysts harbor the same concerns that India's monetary policies are sending...
