...From the shoulders down, Kobayashi was ready to go. After he won his first Nathan's contest in 2001 at just 110 pounds, the 5 ft, 6 in. Kobayashi dedicated himself to developing his body, just as Woods chose to reconstruct his swing after winning the 1997 Masters by 12 strokes. In an effort to increase muscle control and endurance, Kobayashi began running an hour a day and lifting weights three times a week. He added 80 pounds of heft, benchpressed 400 pounds and won Nathan's year after year after year...
...over," says renowned Louisiana State University forensic anthropologist Dr. Mary Manhein. She has amassed a large database dubbed FACES (Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement), based on skeletal and dental structure data gathered from murder victims and research cadavers, some from body farms. The data is used to help reconstruct 3-D portraits of skeletal remains. While she has no plans for a body farm at LSU - the facilities can be expensive and pose security problems - she said they do provide important research for forensic anthropologists and criminologists...

Charismatic former guerrilla commander Xanana Gusmão was elected President. Boasting pristine beaches and untouched coral reefs, the Catholic country-a legacy of centuries of Portuguese colonialism...
...convincing as Grinker's analysis seems, arguments about the apparent epidemic will probably continue. It's simply impossible to accurately reconstruct the past incidence of the disorder, given how radically definitions have changed. Those who believe the increase is real often focus on the mysterious paucity of autistic adults. With their conspicuous symptoms like hand flapping and little or no language, "I think we would be recognizing them in institutions," says Dr. Robert Hendren, executive director of the M.I.N.D. Institute at the University of California, Davis...
