...equivalent of a jumbo jet crash," Goldberg notes - and 76,000 have been killed that way since 1994, one of the highest pedestrian-death rates in the world. The root cause is simple: the thoughtless sprawl of modern urban and suburban development has created too much high-speed space for cars and trucks, and too little of it for walkers, cyclists and the kind of public transit that reduces dependence on cars. "Dangerous by Design" finds, for example, that less than 1.5% of federal transportation safety spending goes to pedestrian projects like increased sidewalk construction or cycling paths, even though...

A growing number of companies will automatically sweep your hard drive and keep a copy of the information that is there in the internet "cloud." Many early adopters use Mozy or Carbonite, which allow users unlimited backup space for the cost of a latte each month. For the cost of a lobster, rival sites such as SugarSync offer additional features like non-emergency access to backed-up files - e.g., the ability to update something in your office that you were working on at home.

The U.S. went from having 300 million square feet of self-storage space in 1984 to 2.4 billion square feet in 2008, according to the Self Storage Association, a 700% surge. By 2005, one in five new houses came with three garage bays-the third, real-estate agents explained, to store all the "toys." (See which businesses are bucking the recession...
