...force. You're blasted with strong radio waves. The protons in your body absorb some radio waves, then they let some back out - like a crystal wine glass ringing after a great soprano sings at it. The machine "listens" to the radio waves that come back out with a bunch of little antennas and then, by comparing the output of the antennas and doing a few hundred million simple calculations, it determines, roughly, how much water and fat was around the protons in a single tiny spot. The relative amount of water and fat at that spot in you determines...

Staying at home with her infantdaughter, screenwriter Shonda Rhimes discovered pretty quickly that there were basically two things to do: change diapers and watch television. And watch she did--day and night, she confesses. But she found the females on TV a boring bunch. "They seemed to exist purely in relation to the men in their lives," she says. "Women I knew were competitive and a little snarky and had their share of bad days. There wasn't a show out there about women who seemed like them...
