...northeast of New Orleans. This is a small town - maybe the population is about 20,000 - and the study was started in the early 1970s, primarily by Dr. Gerald Berenson. We examined all the children in this town for lipids, blood pressure, weight and height, skin-fold thicknesses, smoking, alcohol consumption - anything we thought might be related to heart disease in adulthood. Of those children, the ones who had a body mass index (or BMI, a ratio of weight to height that's commonly used to define overweight) in the 95th percentile or higher when compared to a CDC reference...
...movies but a grungy, rock-strewn place. A municipal storm drain releases onto the main part of the beach, and a sign warns that the water issuing from it may be unhealthy. The ugly concrete drain structure is maligned by graffiti - "Rizzo [hearts] Jenny" - and gnats attack any exposed skin as soon as you set foot on Fletcher Cove sand. Big, bulbous, black stink bugs fearlessly investigate your feet as soon as you sit; if you let them, they'll crawl right up your leg.

Baby-blue eyes and cutesy, high-pitched jokes are almost inevitably replaced with pocked skin, awkward limbs, and bad onscreen chemistry. Children grow up, and their star power rarely lasts. But when the meat turns cold and heads for the B-list, Iris is still sitting at the high table, waiting for another helping of Kobe beef.The Times’ article quotes River Phoenix?...
...Cullens are actually a local coven of vampires. Edward has been 17 since 1918. He is superstrong and superfast, he can hear people's thoughts, and he does not breathe or sleep or age. His skin is cold, and when exposed to the sun, he doesn't burn--he glitters. Edward and the Cullens aren't ordinary vampires: they have renounced human blood on moral grounds, feeding instead on wild animals, which they hunt by night. He and Bella are instantly, overwhelmingly attracted to each other, but he is also wildly hungry for her blood...
