Wilson may have come back from Florida with a nasty sunburn, but it was opposing pitchers who got scorched. In the team’s four games in the Sunshine State, Wilson finished with 10 RBI and 20 total bases. He had two triples, four runs scored, and a weekend slugging percentage of 1.176 as the Crimson split the series with Bethune-Cookman...
...work of a man whose "late phase" came at the height of his powers. Caravaggio refused the idealizing principles of the Renaissance. He used ordinary people as his models and it shows: his come-hither boys dressed as pagan gods have dirty fingernails, his saints have calloused feet and sunburn. As his art evolved he learned to present them in starkly lit, deeply shadowed space that lent them majesty even as his grubby detailing kept them all too human. He invented tragic realism: his work was the great hinge upon which art turned, not just toward the Baroque, but toward...
...cases in the U.S. are triggered by smoking. When cells are exposed to toxic substances for prolonged periods, they tend to become inflamed and swollen. In COPD, cells lining the lungs swell to a point at which they restrict the flow of air. "It's like a sunburn of the air passages," says Dr. Thomas Petty, a pulmonologist at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver and at Chicago's Rush University. Swelling and inflammation trigger bronchiospasm, a clenching of the muscles surrounding the air passages, further choking off the oxygen supply. Inadequate oxygen in turn damages...
...understanding Type 2 diabetes, scientists are starting to wonder whether another factor, the inflammatory response, may also play a key role. Inflammation is a complex biological process the immune system uses to limit the damage caused by various injuries. (Ever notice how a turned ankle swells or a sunburn feels warm to the touch? That's inflammation in action.) But when inflammation becomes chronic, it no longer limits damage. In fact, it starts to do harm to the body...
...year-old girl from Texas who has been a nudist since age 3 says she only rarely felt awkward during puberty. But when she did, she didn't always want to be naked--even though her club requires nudity unless it's cold or you have a sunburn. "I found a loophole in the rule," she says proudly. "They won't stop us from wearing a towel. So I would just wrap that around myself." But should kids have to find loopholes to feel comfortable? "Yes, there's a coercion of sorts with the pool," admits Dean Hadley...
