...brainchild of Texas' Republican Governor, Rick Perry, the TTC would, if built, completely transform the state's highways over the next 50 years, creating a 4,000-mile network of multimodal corridors for transporting goods and people by car, truck, rail and utility line. Each corridor would have six lanes for cars, four additional lanes for 18-wheel trucks, half a dozen rail lines and a utility zone for moving oil and water, gas and electricity, even broadband data. The corridors could measure up to a quarter of a mile across. The projected cost, at least $183 billion, is more...
...power to transform ourselves raises the question of whether we are changing from nature's creation into man's invention. So we ask athletes to maintain an authenticity that we don't want to--to be museum pieces of purity. Is that hypocritical?

...search continues for other cognitive skills that might be linked to sleep. In January, Jan Born and his colleagues at the University of Lübeck in Germany published a clever study that shows why sleeping on a problem often brings such good results. They asked 106 test subjects to transform a string of numbers into a different string of numbers, using a simple but tedious mathematical equation. Unbeknownst to the study volunteers, there was a hidden trick to the calculations that could cut their response time dramatically. A good night's sleep between practice sessions more than doubled--from...
...first solo album from Max Heinegg, former vocalist of the Boston-based hard rock band The High Ceilings, comes to fans this month as a pleasantly mellow surprise. The release is a welcome departure from the old-yet-successful Heinegg rock style, as the artist seeks to transform himself into a singer-songwriter with this emotion-rich set of tunes. But the soulful frontman doesn’t entirely leave his rock roots behind, as most of these songs are thickly coated in layers of electric guitars and instrumental ornamentation...
