...switching of attention from one task to another, the toggling action, occurs in a region right behind the forehead called Brodmann's Area 10 in the brain's anterior prefrontal cortex, according to a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study by Grafman's team. Brodmann's Area 10 is part of the frontal lobes, which "are important for maintaining long-term goals and achieving them," Grafman explains. "The most anterior part allows you to leave something when it's incomplete and return to the same place and continue from there." This gives us a "form of multitasking," he says, though...
...Like any little boy in a city emergency room with a ragged cut on his forehead, the three-year-old was screaming, bleeding, sweating and kicking hard; it was just that he was even louder and stronger than most. Fortunately, I had two really excellent pediatric ER nurses and a medical student to help, and the talk with the nervous, well-dressed parents had gone well; they didn't ask to stay in the room while we worked, retreating instead to seats in the hall near the big door to the trauma room...

...showed that Kennewick Man had arthritis in the right elbow, both knees and several vertebrae but that it wasn't severe enough to be crippling. He had suffered plenty of trauma as well. "One rib was fractured and healed," says Owsley, "and there is a depression fracture on his forehead and a similar indentation on the left side of the head." None of those fractures were fatal, though, and neither was the spear jab. "The injury looks healed," says Owsley. "It wasn't a weeping abscess." Previous estimates had Kennewick Man's age as 45 to 55 when he died...
...trace on many people across the Yard yesterday, I realized there is actually something we could give up that would enhance our spiritual lives, something as meaningful to us as abundant food for hungry Medieval city dwellers. As I saw the symbol of my religious holiday on my forehead, I also noted the myriad other symbols I carried around: an Oakley backpack, signature iPod headphones, a Nike swoosh on my running shoes, designer jeans and sweater, and I did not even dare look in my closet…the list would require an op-ed.
