Testifying in Middlesex Superior Court yesterday, Hansen recalled the details of her night spent dining and drinking with Pring-Wilson and another friend. She noted that Pring-Wilson purchased a bottle of Jim Beam whiskey on the evening of the stabbing and repeatedly filled his glass with the alcohol at a local...
That's why there has been so much attention given lately to a noninvasive test called electron beam computed tomography (EBCT). It uses a burst of X rays to show how much calcium has been deposited in the coronary arteries--a good measure of how much plaque has accumulated there. In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, more than half of 1,119 patients who passed their stress tests had high calcium scores in subsequent EBCTs, suggesting significant hardening of the arteries...
Except for some modified post-and-beam-style cottages by Cutler and Graves, the architects' houses are not for traditionalists. They're mostly modern structures built with large quantities of glass, steel and environmentally sustainable materials. Kaufmann calls the Glidehouse project an effort to "collaborate with nature." Instead of hardwood floors that stress first-growth forests, she uses fast-growing bamboo. Lighting from the structure's glassy exterior, plus solar panels and a wind generator, reduces electricity use. "It's the housing equivalent of the Prius," says Kaufmann, referring to Toyota's environmentally conscious car. "Clean and green...
There were no doubts about the winner the next night. Russian diva Svetlana Khorkina, the three-time world champ, wobbled on the balance beam and was more ballerina than athlete on the floor exercise. But Carly Patterson, 16, whose klutziness in the team final let Romania beat the favored Americans to gold, scored strong 9.7s on those routines, giving her the first U.S. women's all-around gold since Mary Lou Retton's in 1984. It was America's first individual sweep. For Patterson, the "new Mary Lou" label is inevitable. But she may lack the perkiness factor that...
...looked too frail for the demands of gymnastics; Patterson, throwing herself at the apparatuses as if they were no more than tree houses put there for her to play in. Khorkina looked unbeatable on the uneven bars, but gave Patterson an opening when she wobbled noticeably on the balance beam and only performed three tumbling passes in her floor routine. So the American went into her final performance, the floor, needing a score of 9.536 to win. With a joyful, spellbinding performance that included a double Arabian and a double-pike somersault in the tumbling runs, Patterson notched...
