High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Brady's career began as one of the improvisational theater performers in the British version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, along with Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, and host Clive Anderson, to which he became a regular on the American version, hosted by Drew Carey, which was his first television exposure. In 2003, Brady won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety, Musical or Comedy Series for his work on the show, the only person to win the award for a television series, as opposed to a special, since Dana Carvey in 1993.He went on to star in his own ABC variety show in 2001 called The Wayne Brady Show, and a daytime talk show of the same name in 2002, which lasted two seasons and won four Daytime Emmy Awards, two of which went to Brady for Outstanding Talk Show Host. Brady also guest-starred on The Drew Carey Show in 1999 and 2000 to take part in Drew Live and Drew Live II. ... Read more

Chapters: Monty Hall Problem, Wayne Brady, Billy Bush, Big Deal, Carol Merrill, Bob Hilton, Trato Hecho, Jonathan Mangum. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 69. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle loosely based on the American television game show Let's Make a Deal. The name comes from the show's host, Monty Hall. The problem is also called the Monty Hall paradox, as it is a veridical paradox in that the result appears absurd but is demonstrably true. A well-known statement of the problem was published in Parade magazine: Although not explicitly stated in this version of the problem, the solution is usually based on the additional assumptions that the car is initially equally likely to be behind each door and that the host must open a door showing a goat, must randomly choose which door to open if both hide goats, and must make the offer to switch. As the player cannot be certain which of the two remaining unopened doors is the winning door, most people assume that each of these doors has an equal probability and conclude that switching does not matter. In fact, the player should switchdoing so doubles the probability of winning the car, from 1/3 to 2/3. When the above statement of the problem and the solution appeared in Parade, approximately 10,000 readers, including nearly 1,000 with PhDs, wrote to the magazine claiming the published solution was wrong. Some critics pointed out that the Parade version of the problem leaves certain aspects of the host's behavior unstated, for example, whether the host must open a door and must make the offer to switch. However, such possible behaviors had little or nothing to do with the controversy that arose (vos Savant 1990), and the intended behavior was clearly implied by the author (Seymann 1991). ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6026198 ...

Book Purchase: Basic Neurochemistry, Seventh Edition: Molecular, Cellular and Medical
Good Transaction, Thank you.

Best current review of neurochemistry
For anyone interested in neuroscience, it is a must read.Basic Neuroscience gives a snapshot of where neuroscientists are currently doing research, including the edge of what is known and not known.Much of this knowledge has only been discovered in the last few years.

A book to get if you need a good understanding of neurochem
This book is ideal for both undergrad and grad students in the fields of neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychology. The information is arranged neatly with the authors introducing concepts at the cellular level (anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry), then moving on to intercellular signaling. From here, the neurochemical factors are introduced, outlining their functional significance at the molecular level. The last few chapters of this book expands on the role of several neurochemical interactions in the context of diseases like Alzheimer's and Creutzfeld-Jakob (Mad cow-like disorder), Huntington's (and other related basal ganglia disorders), and several Psychiatric disorders (anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, etc). The figures are excellent, and succintly explained.Several color plates are also included. Note that the book I bought has textual addenda/errata located at the back, in order to correct factual/typographical errors. Nevertheless, these corrections don't affect the whole integrity of the contents, but rather they strengthened it.

This book also includes a CD-ROM which constitutes the book's contents, and provides nice figures that you can use as a reference. Overall, I recommend this book if you think you will embark on a career in the medical sciences, or if you are an undergrad that would like to go to grad schools.

Alcohol and the chemistry of human memory
Some fresh angles on the memory problem can be pieced together from distinct bits and pieces included in this book on the brain's catabolic habits, on starvation and diabetes, and on the effects of alcohol and other drugs on the chemistry of the brain.

Alcoholism offers us clues to how the memory works and fails. In both chronic and acute alcoholism, it appears the pen of memory stops writing quite suddenly. In the extreme chronic condition, an alcoholic who has progressed to Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome can be trapped forever in a particular day - the day the pen of memory lifted.

For a few fortunate alcoholics the brain's working memory can be restored with early injections of Vitamin B1, which is thiamine.Thiamine is a very common co-factor.It operates in a great many different biochemical pathways.But look: One among those many pathways is quite possibly the biochemical pathway that is essential for -- and could thus lead us straight to -- the human memory machine.The grand prize. This helpful hint has never been followed up exhaustively, although there are lots of takes on what might be going on.

This book holds a second hint. Perhaps the same crucial biochemical pathway to memory can be interrupted at a different point,in a different way -temporarily -- in the brain of a drinker experiencing an acute alcoholic memory blackout.See pages 659-660 for a summary discussion of ethanol, glucose and ketone body catabolism in the brain.

Notice sometime, in the spirit of science, the horrible, noxious, acetone like odor on the breath of a heavy drinker.It is very evident on the morning after. Ketone bodies are still so plentiful in the blood that an observer can smell them, and the brain (perhaps thinking the body is starving) may have shifted gears to protect itself.Instead of glucose, which the brain almost invariably prefers to eat, the brain can in a starvation emergency burn ketone bodies instead. Whenever they turn up, as for example on the occasion of a drinking binge, the brain will sense an emergency and make the changeover from glucose passively and automatically.So perhaps this emergency shift away from glucose is another pointer to the biochemical pathway that leads to human memory.

Maybe sugar synthesis, via the phosphogluconate shunt,is an important part of the memory pathway.It we are talking about ribose synthesis, which is certainly one possibility, this would imply an interruption or a shift, within the programmable phosphogluconate shunt, to the production of sugars other than ribose.Downstream, the pinch on ribose production would also constrain the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids.It is an in interesting possibility because some people are examining anew the long despised notion that nucleic acids might constitute a human memory store.See Steven Rose's The Making of Memory for this longshot idea.

The basic notion is that to make a memory machine, you could simply run the equations describing the Central Dogma in reverse. (The first step, from Protein back to RNA, is thought to be impossible.However, the cell essentially takes notes on its protein manufacturing activity, leaving behind discarded introns like a dressmaker leaving shards ofcloth on the floor.From the cutout cloth, you can determine the pattern of the dress. An intron uniquely marks a gene, and an intron can be written all the way back to DNA.A sequence of introns, or some sort of intronic shorthand, would essentially tape record a sequence of protein synthesis - a program.)

Another possible memory storage medium is a sprigged together sugar or glycoprotein molecule, perhaps assembled in the manner of a ganglioside.

There are lots of other avenues of action for ethanol upon memory.For examples, Ethanol is directly toxic to the nerves of the hippocampus, it affects LTP there and it also bombs the daylights out of the liver, suggesting that alcoholic memory loss is not a biochemistry problem to be pursued in the brain alone.If you are interested in the memory problem, Basic Neurochemistry is a major resource and great hunting ground for fresh ideas.

As with any other text in neuroscience, you should first read Spikes (Rieke et al. 1996) as an essential preface.It will help you parse out which assumptions in this science can still be believed, post 1993, and which assumptions should now be sharply questioned or instantly discarded.

Product Description
This is a classic advanced neurochemistry and neurobiology textbook that has a renewed focus on clinical applications.The early chapters focus on fundamental membrane chemistry, cellular signaling, and development of the nervous system.Later chapters cover cell injury and inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, sensory transduction, and neural processing/behavior.By understanding mechanisms at the molecular and systems level, scientists can develop new pharmacotherapies to treat diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis as well as neuropsychiatric diseases (e.g., schizophrenia, depression, pain, addictions).This book provides a foundation of all key principles of neurochemistry and neurobiology--within the context of human diseases--for advanced students and graduate students in neuroscience, biomedical sciences, as well as clinical neuroscientists and neurologists.

*clinical perspective boxes in each chapter--students can make connections between molecular processes and disease states, between biochemistry and drug discovery which will enable them to better understand neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis) and how treatments are developed
*cutting edge scientific advances in neuroscience in context of principles of brain chemistry and biology--students can gain a foundation of knowledge on biochemistry and neurobiology which will allow them to understand current advances in treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases and syndromes (e.g., Schizophrenia, Depression, Pain, Addictions).
*animation to illustrate critical biochemical processes on accompanying web site--students will learn about biochemistry in a visual way, allowing them to quickly see how proteins are inserted in a membrane and the consequences of malfunction or how neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles and the consequences of malfunction

LINCOLN FROM NEW AND UNUSUAL SOURCES


The boy or girl who reads to-day may know more about the real Lincoln
than his own children knew. The greatest President's son, Robert
Lincoln, discussing a certain incident in their life in the White House,
remarked to the writer, with a smile full of meaning:

"I believe you know more about our family matters than I do!"

This is because "all the world loves a lover"--and Abraham Lincoln loved
everybody. With all his brain and brawn, his real greatness was in his
heart. He has been called "the Great-Heart of the White House," and
there is little doubt that more people have heard about him than there
are who have read of the original "Great-Heart" in "The Pilgrim's
Progress."
