...best way to diagnose the problem is a bone-density test. And while it isn't necessary--or even practical--to screen every man 50 or older, those at highest risk should be tested, says Dr. Clifford Rosen of the Maine Center for Osteoporosis Research and Education. Among the signs to watch for: a fracture suffered as an adult, unexplained back pain and the loss of 2 in. or more in height. Also at risk are men with a family history of osteoporosis or a personal history of alcoholism, kidney stones, or treatment with cortisone or prednisone for such chronic...
...when they are asked about them over a lunch. And some of the advice in the book is pretty conservative. They're against breast enhancement and watching too much television, argue virulently for fiber, and warn that using police-issue handcuffs during bondage "can lead to nerve and bone damage, sometimes irreparable." Sharkey can also draw and did all the diagrams in the book, which, as her off-page modesty would dictate, required getting people to pose wearing bathing suits. There's even a three-page bibliography...
...engine, it is Porsche's most powerful nonturbo model. What's the sensation? TIME took the GT3 for a spin at a raceway in Alton, Va., and to the purists, we must say, fear not. The car blasts from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 4.3 sec. and, with its bone-rattling suspension, corners seamlessly even at 80 m.p.h. If you're so inclined, Porsche offers higher-performance brakes for an extra $8,150. We think they're worth it. --By Daren Fonda. With reporting by Lauren Shepherd/Alton
...Blood addressed the crew using a language I didn't quite follow, filled with obligatory military words like "joker" and "bingo" and phrases like "fence in" and "fence out." I nodded as if I understood. Then he said something I actually did understand: that I would be flying the BONE (B-One) in an MOA (military operation area) over several thousand desolate square miles of Wyoming known as Powder River (surprisingly, no acronym.) I again nodded confidently, but deep down inside, I was STD (scared to death...
...plane's four afterburners ignited, as indicated by four green lights on the plane's dashboard. Blood hit the throttles and we whizzed down the runway. To make the BONE more aerodynamic and thus faster, Blood reached to his right and pulled back on a lever which retracted the wings to a desired angle. It reminded me of the way I set the height of the blades on my lawnmower. We accelerated to roughly 500 m.p.h. at an altitude of 10,000 ft. and moments later we were over Powder River. That's when he took his hand...
