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.

"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...

...nerve cells in our brain. It's also responsible for the high we feel when we do something daring, like skiing down a double black diamond slope or skydiving out of a plane. In the risk taker's brain, researchers report in the Journal of Neuroscience, there appear to be fewer dopamine-inhibiting receptors - meaning that daredevils' brains are more saturated with the chemical, predisposing them to keep taking risks and chasing the next high: driving too fast, drinking too much, overspending or even taking drugs...
