New Look for E-Notes
As you may notice, E-Notes has a somewhat different look. We'll be tweaking it over the next couple of months until we get it just the way we want it. Your comments are always welcome.

According to a recent national study, every month, more than 170 million people in the United States use public media. That's more than half (55%) of all Americans.  

 

Although so many people use public media, there's a chance that this funding may be reduced or eliminated in 2011.

Radiolab this month presents "Cities" - In this hour of Radiolab, we take to the street to ask what makes cities tick. There's no scientific metric for measuring a city's personality. But step out on the sidewalk, and you can see and feel it. Two physicists explain one tidy mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city.

Corrections:  Basic Journalistic Hygiene

 

The Ombudsman gets out her red pencil to correct NPR's Corrections policy, suggesting that the organization strengthen its commitment to immediately reporting and fixing any and all errors committed on its air or website. She points to The Toronto Star's good example: the newspaper has a "report an error" button next to every story.

breathingOmmmmm

 

It turns out that slow deep breathing is really, really good for you. (This may seem like common sense, but now it's scientifically proven.) When we're stressed, we breathe quickly and shallowly. Breathing slowly and deeply activates the vagus nerve, which helps our body calm down. There are more implications than the obvious in this research: learning how to breathe correctly can permanently alter the body's stress response and increase individual health.

saffronJust Wild About Saffron

 

Saffron is an expensive, relatively rare spice -- it takes 75,000 crocus flowers to make a single pound of it. But according to food writer Monica Bhide, when it comes to cooking with saffron, it's easy to have too much of a good thing. Bhide shares two saffron-centric recipes and shows Guy Raz how a little of the exotic spice can go a long way.
