United bankruptcy reshapes airline rivals and routes
United Airlines files Chapter 11 in Chicago, a move analysts say will boost rivals like American Airlines Northwest Southwest and Frontier by taking market share at Chicago O Hare and beyond while prompting cost cuts and potential wage changes across the industry. As United trims unprofitable routes and possibly up to 12 percent of flights the travel public could face higher fares and less competition, with unionized workers facing potential wage and rule changes.

Reeve’s brain still detects feeling after spinal injury study
AP reports seven years after Christopher Reeve’s paralysis a MRI study from Washington University in St Louis finds his brain still nearly normal in sensing sensation and directing movement. The result challenges the belief that the brain must lose signals from a paralyzed body part. Reeve, paralyzed from shoulders down from a 1995 horse accident, remains a high profile figure.
