...Cooperative, she is synonymous with big-time recycling in one of Asia's fastest-growing economies. Working with about 100 recycling companies belonging to her cooperative, she coordinates efforts to collect industrial and consumer trash, salvage everything, from paper and plastic to scrap steel, and mold the refuse into raw materials to feed Taiwan's factories. Out of that garbage heap comes treasure. Last year the co-op brought in more than $100 million from customers like China Steel and Formosa Plastics. But money is not the motivation behind Wu's not-for-profit outfit. After paying office charges...
...what we know about the show, not this one. A modern treatment of the Passion of Christ demands some measure of experimentation and even controversy, but investigative research has managed to unearth only one word from the producers: visceral. This season's production brings together an incredible amount of raw talent, theatrical experience and pure, unadulterated enthusiasm--the perfect elements for making the sort of ground-breaking theatrical experience that we feel this show deserves, and hope it delivers. Crimson editor J. L. Martin envisions a production that goes where no man (or Son of Man) has gone before, beyond...
...laser resurfacing requires anesthesia and good skin-care follow-up, which usually involves great globs of Vaseline or special creams and a mask. Patients can be left raw and oozing for weeks or, even worse, end up looking like the Phantom of the Opera.

Yet even these supposedly gentler lasers can sting and, in inexperienced hands, burn and scar...
...Brooklyn Museum, right outside the entrance to "Sensation," is a small oil by Thomas Cole, the great 19th century painter who went to America from England as a young man and laid down on canvas the raw grandeur of the landscape as illustration of the new nation's moral power. The picture is easy to miss, a little study of a Christian pilgrim on the verdant knoll of a mountaintop. His arms are outspread, brilliant under a sky ablaze with light and hope...
Dogme might seem way too, well, dogmatic; a director who has filmed under its rules must sign a "confession" of any deviations. (Korine: "I confess that in the turkey-dinner scene, I made my grandmother go to the grocery store and buy a batch of raw cranberries ...") But Dogme is as much a game as it is a cult. Indeed, Korine broke nearly every commandment; like Rasputin, he wants to sin so he can repent. At the beginning he stages a violent death (Rule 6). At the end he credits himself (Rule 10). In between he uses slow motion, stop...
