...each day's practice session, they sat beneath a coil of wire that sent a brief magnetic pulse into the motor cortex of their brain, located in a strip running from the crown of the head toward each ear. The so-called transcranial-magnetic-stimulation (TMS) test allows scientists to infer the function of neurons just beneath the coil. In the piano players, the TMS mapped how much of the motor cortex controlled the finger movements needed for the piano exercise. What the scientists found was that after a week of practice, the stretch of motor cortex devoted to these...
...says. "It wasn't even by a little, it was by a mile. It was the hardest one too." Apple's new iPhone, which will be available in June, could do to the cell-phone market what the iPod did to the portable-music-player market: crush it pitilessly beneath the weight of its own superiority.

When a play breaks down, Tomlinson runs so low to the ground that he burrows beneath tacklers, picking up four or five yards when most backs would be lucky to get one. "You're like, 'Man, how'd he do that?'" says Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, whose team beat the Chargers 16-13 in October and could face them again in the AFC title game. "It's like landing a body blow. They...
