...initial injury, maybe in the spinal cord or brain--the alarm system has broken down. What researchers have only recently come to understand is that prolonged exposure to this screaming siren actually does its own damage. "Pain causes a fundamental rewiring of the nervous system," says Dr. Sean Mackey, director of research at Stanford University's Pain Management Center. "Each time we feel pain, there are changes that occur that tend to amplify our experience of pain." That is why it is a mistake, despite our grin-and-bear-it tradition, to ignore or undertreat severe pain...
Imaging techniques, which build on biofeedback principles, are another psychological option used at pain centers. At Stanford, Mackey has taught patients to literally watch "their brain on pain," using functional magnetic resonance imaging. By relaxing, they can watch lighted areas change color as pain fades. "It's tremendously empowering," he says, "all without medication...
...about the accuser's physical examination, which showed some vaginal bruising, a possible sign of rape. But Baden said the evidence was inconclusive. "You could have these injuries in consensual sex and not have any injuries in nonconsensual sex," he told TIME. When one of Bryant's attorneys, Pamela Mackey, discovered that the prosecution had removed Baden from its witness list, she phoned him. He told her what he had told prosecutors. Mackey subsequently asked the court to dismiss the charges on the grounds that the prosecution had not shared exculpatory information, as required...
...medal for perfect timing goes to Chris Mackey, whose The Interrogators (Little, Brown; 484 pages), written with journalist Greg Miller, recounts his experiences in Army intelligence, grilling Arab prisoners in Kandahar. Watching him agonize over the ethics of his techniques provides rare insight into a process that, in the wake of Abu Ghraib, we urgently need to understand. This Man's Army (Gotham; 288 pages), by Andrew Exum, is a candid description of life in an ultra-hard-core Army Ranger unit in Afghanistan's Shah-e-Kot Valley, as well as a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on the philosophy...
...Goodchild sent a sacrifice drag bunt to Goldberg, who threw her out at first. With two outs, Britney Thompson walked, and Obrest again inflicted pain on the Crimson, tattooing a shot to left center that one hopped the fence and scored Macchi. With runners on second and third, Erin Mackey singled to center and drove in both Thompson and Obrest, giving the Eagles the final 5-2 margin...
