...over progress competes with reverence for the past. At Augusta, though, it's no contest - nostalgia has been the driving force behind the changes to the course, and also explains the tournament's wider efforts to foster a throwback feel. Part of the appeal of any sport is the link it provides to previous generations. But because the Masters is the only major golf tournament to return to the same course every year, the notion of following in the footsteps of one's forebears is literal: at Augusta, golfers walk over the Hogan, Sarazen and Nelson bridges, and the tournament...
...they could still be called that. Roofs snapped in two rested precariously above splintered and warped planks of wood. Tacked-up plastic sheets covered some of the holes where windows and doors had once been; others were left open to the elements. Behind a rusty chain-link fence, an old church stood in cross-section, exposing its soul to the world. The area was completely abandoned—our car was the only apparent source of movement and sound.

...beautiful things about markets is how they link people. But that also makes it tricky to figure out who causes the messes--like when assets turn out to be worth far less than advertised, credit markets seize up and panic ensues. Ideology colors any attempt to point fingers--Does regulation protect people or stifle innovation? Do companies manipulate consumers, or do individuals make decisions?--but that won't stop us from trying. There's plenty of blame to go around...
...results, published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity, are among the first to link poor sleep to such a wide array of physiological changes. While he cannot fully explain why men and women are affected differently, Suarez believes that testosterone could play a role. In his study, men reporting the most difficulty sleeping also had the highest levels of testosterone, which is known to reduce levels of heart-damaging inflammatory proteins. So, he speculates, while testosterone may trigger sleep problems, it may also blunt some of the physiological changes that can raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes...
