Sheilah asks a Hopkins public-health professor why chronic conditions are so tough to treat, a biography of Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, "Wild With Happy" at Center Stage, and we visit the new ‘Museum of Negro Leagues Baseball’ in Owings Mills.

Can health care reform make a dent in how many Marylanders have chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity? We ask a Hopkins public-health professor why chronic conditions are so tough to treat.

Journalist Lynn Sherr started covering NASA’s Space Shuttle Program for ABC News just about the time a young astrophysicist was training to become the first American woman in space. Sheilah asks Sherr about her biography of her friend, Sally Ride.

Also, "Wild With Happy" is up at Center Stage. Will theatergoers go wild over this quirky play about grief? We hear from J. Wynn Rousuck.

And, Tom Hall visits the new ‘Museum of Negro Leagues Baseball’ in Owings Mills to talk to the Museum’s 'ambassador' and the wife of the only Negro Leagues player from Baltimore who’s been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
