...showing that even tasks that produce similar levels of neural activity while they are being performed, such as recognizing a face versus a landscape, result in different levels of activity after each task is completed. In Stevens' studies, brain activity remained high after people viewed landscapes, but was much lower after they looked at faces. People tend to be much better at remembering landscapes than faces, so it makes sense that those differences would be mirrored in the brain-activity levels during rest periods, says Stevens, whose paper was published online in Cerebral Cortex in December...
...young from capitalizing on their good health. Factors, including limiting the amount that companies can charge older patients, preventing the denial of coverage based on preexisting conditions, and “community rating”—or price controls—to limit the ability to offer lower costs to lower risk patients, would likely mean that younger workers would have to pay more for their basic healthcare coverage, despite being healthier...
...Favre? Selected but not playing, blaming an injury. Gecko-gloved Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald? Thanks but no thanks: injured also. While the Pro Bowl managed to sell out Dolphins Stadium, the game usually pulls down mediocre TV ratings; it's the only major all-star game that draws lower ratings than regular-season matchups. What gives...
...wife with praise and compliments. (This alone, by the way, should have tipped people off.) It seemed plausible that he had made a mistake of weapons-grade stupidity and was prepared to make amends for it. Particularly since he'd torpedoed his career and couldn't possibly sink any lower in the public's eyes. All this, and yet the marriage couldn't be saved...
...large, at about 6% of GDP per year. Most important, India managed to achieve its substantial growth without putting its banking sector at risk. In fact, India's banks have remained quite conservative through the downturn, especially compared with Chinese lenders. Growth of credit, for example, was actually lower in 2009 than in 2008. As a result, economists see continued strength in India's banks. A January report by economic-research outfit Centennial Asia Advisors noted that based on available data, "there was no sign that domestic banks' nonperforming assets were deteriorating materially." Nor do analysts harbor the same concerns...
