...planning stage. The Boulder community's 16 homes will range in size from 800 to 2,000 sq. ft. and cost from $100,000 to $695,000. All the porches will open onto a courtyard with an amphitheater. Architecturally, says Durrett, "it is embracing. You can almost draw a pair of arms and say, 'We're all in this place together, and we're going to solve common problems together...
...study by two Sydney researchers, Perminder Sachdev and Naresh Mondraty, has now cast more light on this idea. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, the pair detected marked differences in brain activity between anorexic women and healthy controls when the two groups looked at photos of themselves. Put simply, confronted with her own image, the anorexic's brain partly shuts down. The implications for our understanding of the illness are significant, argues Mondraty, a psychiatrist at the Peter Beumont Centre for Eating Disorders. Once it's full-blown, he says, anorexia "is not really about societal pressures to be thin...
Just to show that this is a complex field, Mondraty's coauthor sees things slightly differently. "I think what we've observed," says Sachdev, "is a functional abnormality that probably follows, rather than precedes, the development of anorexia." The pair plan to conduct a follow-up study on the 10 anorexic patients in about two years to see whether brain activity has normalized in those who've recovered. If it has, that would suggest that what they've observed is a product of the disease - triggered, perhaps, by malnutrition - rather than a hardwired abnormality. Brain-imaging skeptics would argue that...
...felt better, he wrote the script for Saw, in which a terminally ill cancer patient, Jigsawultimately played in all three movies by the creepy character actor Tobin Bellforces people to consider what they're prepared to do to stay alive. Using $7,000 of Whannell's savings, the pair shot a shocking 10-min. film in which Whannell played one of Jigsaw's victims who has to dig a key from the digestive tract of a paralyzed cellmate before Whannell's character's jaw is split open by a reverse bear trap. On the strength of that short, Los Angeles...
...with the gun is playful and innocent; he is not trying to cause an international incident. The sex-crazed Japanese girl is a recognizably troubled adolescent, quite unaware of the largely hormonal firestorm raging within her. The Mexican au pair is a kindly and responsible woman, caught in conflict between the needs of her beloved charges and the call of a central event in her family's life. Her crisis is the more powerful for the way it takes her, unaware of the gathering threat, to the brink of madness and death. It is a measure of Gonz?...
