Low-doc, no-doc, and other risky loans helped cause the housing collapse. A new federal consumer agency has adopted a rule aimed at squeezing this kind of lending out of the market. Will it keep banks from making mortgage loans to people who can't afford them? We ask a University of Maryland business school teaching fellow with decades of experience working for lenders, assessing risk.

Then, the TEDxBaltimore conference hosts a full day of talks Friday by Baltimore-area thinkers, activists, and artists. We talk with the three youngest presenters, all Baltimore City Public School students.

And, John Waters partners with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to narrate a concert production of Hairspray.
