...less inhibited, I never got the dress code. I’m not one for stereotypes, but seriously, theatre kids are asking for it. Donned in an obnoxiously bright red polo, I looked like an over-dyed Easter egg in the field of black pants, black shirts, and black makeup. But I resolved not to become discouraged—my preppy threads would merely aid me in standing out amongst this talented bunch... right? As luck would have it, the Common Casting session I chose to attend was the musicals’ casting. I clearly didn?...
...Snitker at the University of Maryland and his postdoctoral fellow, Evadnie Rampersaud, who is now at the University of Miami, the team studied 704 Amish men and women. Although the Amish are a genetically homogeneous group, the study of volunteers' genotypes still showed a genetic diversity that reflected the makeup of the general Caucasian population: Specifically, they exhibited a range of variations on the FTO gene, which previous studies have associated with obesity and high body mass index, or BMI. Experts say about half of all people of European descent possess at least one "heavy" variant of the FTO gene...
...Notes Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, the current study, which was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, highlights a critical new understanding in the relationship between genes and our lifestyle.

On his few forays into late-night talk (one visit with David Letterman sticks in my mind), the host would breathe a sigh of relief to find Rourke roguishly charming; the bull hadn't demolished the china. But mostly his rep kept him MIA. When he came up for the role of Randy, he recalled in Venice, Aronofsky told him: "You're a really great actor, and you've just f--ked up your...
...highly praised indie films. The techies are the auteurs now, and they can make the most fantastic creature look and feel real. Well, Rourke here is his own special effect monster, his own Incredible Hulk. (It's the rare movie where the closing credits for Makeup and Mr. Rourke's Trainer are well deserved.) Reviewers love watching actors abuse their bodies for their art almost as much as actors love doing it. That's one reason Mickey should be a guest of honor at the year-end critics' awards dinners. Another is that Rourke's bio blends with the story...
