TEXT TWO
The company that revolutionized the delivery of information now aims to do the same with electricity. Technology powerhouse Google today announced it would spend “tens of millions” of dollars next year in research and development and investments in an effort to drive down the cost of large-scale renewable energy to make it cheaper than coal. Not only will Google be hiring engineers and energy experts for its new initiative, known as RE
Coal supplies 40 percent of the world"s electricity and more than half of U.S. power, and if current trends continue, it is expected to grab an ever increasing share because it is a plentiful and cheap fuel for big consumers like China and the United States. But coal is also the worst fuel in its production of the global warming gas carbon dioxide. Google cofounder Larry Page said the company"s goal is to produce one gigawatt of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal within “years, not decades.” Google says that"s enough electricity to power a city the size of San Francisco (about 330,000 households).
Google, located in Mountain View, Calif., said it was initially working with two other California companies. They are eSolar, of Pasadena, which is specializing in solar-thermal power, using large fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight and generate steam to run utility-scale electric turbines, and Makani of Alameda, which is developing wind energy technology that takes advantage of the much stronger and more reliable currents available at high altitudes.
Google did not specify how much money it was putting into its projects with these companies but said they both had “promising scalable energy technologies.” This portion of the initiative will be funded through the company"s philanthropic arm, Google.org, which is not a traditional charity but can make equity investments in companies. Brin and Page have pledged 1 percent of Google"s equity and profits toward efforts including climate change and global poverty.
The RE
The company also has a project to accelerate development and adoption of ultrahigh-efficiency plug-in hybrid cars. Google has been lobbying for inclusion of a nationwide renewable energy portfolio goal in the energy legislation currently under negotiation on Capitol Hill. And the company is working on an energy-efficient computing initiative with other Silicon Valley companies.

Half the game is 90 percent mental，“ Yogi Berra once said， or something like that， and science is now getting around to putting his aphorism to the test. Researchers including Debbie Crews of Arizona State University and John Milton of the University of Chicago have been studying patterns of brain activation――not in baseball players but in golfers， who make better subjects because they don"t move around as much and the electrodes stay stuck to their heads. Yogi might have been surprised by the researchers" conclusion， though： the better the golfer， the less brain activity he shows in the seconds before he makes his shot.
Crews， a sports psychologist who studies putting――even the minimal agitation of a chip shot can upset her experimental apparatus――has found that a key difference between amateurs and pros lies in the left hemisphere. This is the seat of logic， analysis， verbal reasoning and the kinds of thoughts――Maybe I should just kind of squinch over a little more to the left――that you never imagine crossing Tiger Woods"s mind. Professionals， once they"ve determined how to make a shot， follow an invariable routine that renders conscious thought unnecessary. “How you think is probably more important than what you think，” Crews says. “Quieting the left hemisphere is really critical.”
Or， to put it another way， when Milton asked some LPGA golfers what they thought about just before taking a shot， they answered： nothing. To test this， he rounded up a half-dozen pros and an equal number of amateurs and had them imagine making a specific shot――a wedge shot of 100 yards to the green， with no wind――while monitoring their brains in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine. “The professionals are just much more specialized and efficient，” Milton says. “You put in a quarter and you get your shot.” The amateurs， by contrast， showed more total brain activation， involving more areas of the brain. In particular， amateurs activated the basal ganglia――involved in learning motor functions――and the basal forebrain and amygdala， responsible for， among other functions， emotions. “They"re not fearful or anxious，” Milton says， “but they get overwhelmed by details， by the memories of all the shots they"ve missed in the past.” Some of his subjects worried about hitting the ball into the water， which was curious， because he hadn"t even mentioned a water hazard in describing the imaginary shot to them.
Professional athletes， as a rule， know how to keep focus， although there are exceptions， like Chuck Knoblauch， the Yankee second baseman who suddenly lost the ability to make a routine throw to first base. Milton is already trying to apply these lessons to stroke and other rehabilitation patients who have to relearn skills like walking； he recommends putting more emphasis on visualization and improving mental focus. In many aspects of life， it seems， half the game really is 90 percent mental.
