...were chosen for a very good reason. Despite the caps of ice in Mars' polar regions and the deposits of ice thought to lie beneath the soil, the planet is a desiccated place. But that doesn't mean Mars wasn't once wet, and its topography - scarred with what appear to be ancient river channels and dry seabed - suggests that the planet once fairly sloshed with water. If you want to find signs of ancient life, the key is to follow that water - or at least the places it used...
That optimism, however, feels as fragile and uneven as this region's recovery. Huge swaths of the city, particularly the Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans East and the city's heart, appear as they did in the months immediately following Katrina: there are scores of vacant homes, potential magnets for crime...
...Thanks to baseball's rather inexpensive asking price, companies have been more willing to play ball with MLB. Baine says that while the NFL demanded an 85 cents-per-subscriber fee from operators to carry its network, baseball asked for a more reasonable 25 cents. The network will appear on the basic digital tier of every major provider except for the Dish Network. "No one is going to get 50 million homes out of the cable operators again," Brosnan boasts...
Jake Lowenstern, Ph.D., YVO's chief scientist, who also is part of the USGS Volcano Hazards Team, told TIME that a supervolcano event does not appear to be imminent. "We don't think the amount of magma exists that would create one of these large eruptions of the past," he said. "It is still possible to have a volcanic eruption comparable to other volcanoes. But we would expect to see more and larger quakes, deformation and precursory explosions out of the lake. We don't believe that anything strange is happening right now." Last summer YVO installed new instrumentation...
...organs failed to function in the first weeks after transplant, compared with only 21% of the kidneys that were perfused. While the differences were small, say experts, they can be significant when you consider the costs of dialysis and follow-up care for failed transplants. "Four percent may not appear to be a lot, but if this difference persisted across the country, that would be a significant cost benefit on behalf of the patient," says Dr. Bryan Becker, president of the National Kidney Foundation. "I think this study is a big step toward using available technology to optimize the kidneys...
