If the problem people have with quitting smoking is that they are addicted to nicotine, why would they want to put more of what you're addicted to in your body in the form of patches or gum as your attempt to quit? That would be like an alcoholic taking seven shots of Jack Daniels and a six-pack of Bud a day in their quest to quit drinking.
I believe you need to come from a completely opposite philosophy and perspective. I believe you must flush the nicotine that is already in your body, out. The nicotine levels in the body dictate the levels of cravings a smoker experiences, so the nicotine must be removed. Secondly, there must be a calming substitute in the body to replace the calming feeling that nicotine creates so they aren't quitting cold turkey. Thirdly, you must deal with the habitual behavior.

New Orleans — It was on Bourbon Street, in ancient Galatoire's restaurant, or in a press session listening to one of the Harbaugh brothers spiel away, or just when stopped by a conversationalist that I heard the question about Super Bowl endurance for the 1,000th time.
"You're one of the three, four guys who've covered all of these, aren't you?"
"Yep" I responded.
I saw something that resembled the same face in the mirror in the morning. It was, well, sort of recognizable as the guy sitting in the photo with Joe Namath poolside at Super Bowl III. A bit pudgier with some wrinkles and puffiness around the eyes. Wire-framed eyeglasses instead of horn-rimmed. Hair silvery gray, moderate length, rather than the brown Princeton crewcut.
The guy in the mirror looked more like a bedraggled survivor.
"So how do you keep your streak on going?" came the next question. "What's the secret of your longevity?"
"Formaldehyde!" I said.
Honest admission: the answer was rehearsed. And it was not original.
It emerged from the best question-and-answer session I had ever attended and detailed in all these 47 Super Bowls.
Riggins' spotlight
There are frequent flashbacks to John Riggins and Super Bowl XVII in 1983 in California. John was with the Redskins then. He had skipped a year of football and for a practical reason had returned. But whatever drummer Riggins heard had a different rhythm.
He skipped the media gab session to the chagrin of Commissioner Pete Rozelle. So he promised a single press conference. We the media packed the room at the Redskins encampment in Costa Mesa.
Riggins was a man of many disguises. They included the Mohawk arrow hairdo and the shaved-head look. This time he showed up with a bushy mess of curly hair.
Instead of the top hat and tails Riggins would sometimes wear in Washington high society, he arrived in camouflage pants and Tee shirt proclaiming the Five O'Clock Club.
He popped through the curtains with a word-I-cannot-use eating grin.
Riggins was on stage.
"John, to what do you attribute your longevity?" a reporter asked.
That's when Riggins produced the "formaldehyde" quote that I have preserved now for 30 years.
Somebody wondered: "How do you fit in with the Washington crowd?"
"Life in Washington is like being on a roll of toilet paper," said Riggins. "You know you're going to get smeared, but you try not to get flushed down."
Riggins would win the game on a fourth-down-and-1 at the Dolphins' 43 with burst through the middle for a touchdown. After the Redskins' 27-17 victory, President Ronald Reagan telephoned the locker room with congratulations.
"Ron's the president, but I'm the king," Riggins told us.
Tooz's tales
This is my 47th countdown to a Super Bowl — lots of laughter with quotes about "nose-pickers" from Matt Millen (sorry Detroit); and Namath talking about "Johnnie Walker Red"; and Jim McMahon mooning a TV news helicopter here in New Orleans; Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson telling us "Terry Bradshaw couldn't spell CAT if you spotted him the C and the A"; and one of our enlightened journalists asking Doug Williams, "Have you always been a black quarterback?"; and John Matuszak being spied upon wandering along Bourbon Street at 3 in the morning.
"The Raiders aren't a team where you always have to straighten your tie," Matuszak — Tooz - told us. "As long as you put out on practice and on Sundays.
"As long as you stay out of jail."
Tooz did have a curfew at Super Bowl XV in 1981.
We the media never did have any curfews at the Super Bowl. Out till 3 a.m., and make the 8:30 a.m., media session with the Broncos or the Giants or the Steelers.
But a guy who once upon a time at Super Bowl IX in 1975 and Super Bowl XII in '78 would linger spinning anecdotes with guys like Reggie Jackson and Tom Dempsey in The Old Absinthe House until 3 a.m. has a self-imposed curfew now. How is 10 p.m.? And for me, the Super Bowl requires more than formaldehyde.
Survival instincts, motivation, endurance and a horseshoe figure into the process.
Jerry Green is one of three newspaper writers who have covered every Super Bowl. Ed Pope of the Miami Herald and Jerry Izenberg of the Newark Star-Ledger are the two others.

WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!!! – Bar Dynamite was some bs last night. Security guy really needs to get a life and get over himself. He wouldn't let my friends in, my wives in and the bears in, and then my sister and her man and Del and all for different bs reasons. The reasons were from asking the guy "what" then it was Puerto Rico's undershirt was too big (yes i said undershirt) then it was my sister's man's passport was to flimsy (but he can travel with it). Hey Bar D, thanks for messing up my birthday.
Less flash, more dive. – You go here for a dark, crowded bar weekend spot with some good hip-hop. Off nights can be chill. Make sure to find out in advance what night it is. Music changes a bit. Its not for VIP's or to be seen, which can be a Great thing. 21-29
Service speed varies with the crowd.
BAD BAD BAD – My GF got complety Dogged out by the Same Bald Head Fat Bouncer at the door! He thought hur CA ID was fake or something cuz hiz eyes was glued on it for 5 mins. Then he said she has a attitude and said she couldn't go in!
WORST customer Service EVER – 1st time at the bar this weekend. Came with a group of 15+ and thought "hey, this little place is pretty cool". After 45 minutes of drinks and partying we realized the male bartenders and fat BOUNCER were not friendly what so ever. The overweight White male bouncer w/bald head and red facial hair was a complete jack a$$. Kicking people out for no justifiable reasoning (starting with our DD!) being rude to females, not allowing birthday party guests in becuase they "weren't on a list" even though there was no line. Actually left the bar to eat at the taco shop where another party was JUST COMPLAINING about the poor service, rude staff and worthless attitudes. My girlfriend actually asked for an Itemized receipt and was then called "a B"tch" after doing so from the male bartendar (just before they kicked her out) for having "a bad attitude"
Please refrain from going to this joint. The manager was the only worthwhile person to chat with (after I had to make a formal complaint) about his staff. TOO BAD becuase this place could be a cool local hangout but myself and the 14 other people who attended will make sure to spread the negative word.
Great Music – This is a great little bar for the underground music listener. The DJ was insanely good and played everything from hip hop to reggae. The bar tenders were on top of the game, and I found out that you tip them a little they give you a lot! Definetly a great place for groups. The only downside is that it's very small, and there isn't anything near this place within walking distance.
This is the place to be if you don't want to spend a whole lot like you would normally do in Downtown. I love this place, Fridays and Saturdays are awesome. The music is really good, you got your old school hip hop, a little rap and your funk. This place is chill did I mention the drinks are cheap and there is a $5.00 cover charge after 10pm. Bar Dynamite is a little small but the people are great the music is the bomb and every one has a great time, so if you like old school beats and don't want to deal with the long lines in downtown and the expensive drinks make sure to check out Bar D
Scary Land – the girls and i were looking for a "below radar" club one fine friday evening. someone mentioned bar dynamite. we went to check it out. oh my god! i felt like i was at a homeless convention. the men in this bar actually smelled like they lived on the streets. not to mention what they were wearing. the bartender was so rude to us. all we ordered were beers and shots and he acted like we ordered foo foo blender drinks. you would think a bartender would want 4 pretty blondes at their bar. maybe this place is for homosexuals. who knows. the music was good but it was so loud that my ear drums tickled the whole time. we had to leave it was way too loud for such a tiny, tiny space. but mostly the people were old and very creepy for us 35-40 y.o. single gals.
Crowd has deep-sixed this place – I've been in SD for a while and I always considered Bar Dynamite to be a wild card. The music is generally always decent but the crowd is all over the place. I'm afraid that recently, I discovered that the crowd is just, how can I describe it - WEIRD. It's a combination of 40+-50 yr old people (do you like bumping into your 5th grade teacher?), some young adults, wanna-be thugs, etc. Basically, a single, young adult's worst nightmare. Tack on a 5 dollar cover charge and this place is now first on my "DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL COSTS" list. Go at your own peril!
DJs spin nightly at this Mission Hills bar/club, an off-beat alternative to the downtown and PB club scenes. – In Short
Set in an area west of Hillcrest known as Middletown, the club occupies a secluded location and nightlife niche. With DJs spinning hip-hop, dance, pop and reggae tracks every night of the week, the red booths and dance floor are often packed. The small spot attracts a crowd that's higher on edge and lower on swank than Gaslamp clubs. Its remoteness makes bar-hopping a challenge, so plan to stay at Bar Dynamite all night long.
Saturday nights with DJ Ratty (s) – rules old skool Hip Hop and underground sound...it's small and gets hot, but that's how you know the music is good-Everyone is dancing! The crowd is also a real nice mix-not too bougeois, punk, old or young. And there is always good looking guys and girls. I actually met my fiancee there!

The Road Warrior

Q: I need to preface my question with a statement that I am not against any particular group or their admirable fund-raising activities. However, I have a concern with the seeming increase in various groups collecting money at highway intersections. Over the years I have seen teenagers collecting funds at the intersection of Route 512 and Blue Valley Drive in Washington Township. Sometimes they stand in the middle of the highway and along the curbs collecting donations. I've seen several near misses with cars stopping abruptly to drop money in the bucket. The teens walk in the road without reflective safety vests and are barely visible. Is this legal, and if so, are there any restrictions? To me, it seems to be an accident waiting to happen with one wrong step or one distracted driver.
— Steve Schupen, Roseto
Q: What's the story with Bethlehem allowing people to solicit funds at two of the busiest and most dangerous intersections in the city? I'm talking about the people with buckets who walk in the middle of the street, often up and down the yellow line or between car lanes, at Five Points and at Third and Wyandotte streets. These people are a nuisance and a danger. They've been there on rainy, snowy, icy weekends when the driving was already challenging. It seems this is public panhandling, and a danger to the driving public, not to mention the people holding the buckets. How can this be legal?
— Andrea Wittchen, Lower Saucon Township
A: Al Skeath of Allentown also emailed recently, worried about the safety of pedestrians soliciting roadside donations, and also about possible effects on traffic flow: "Can you imagine if thousands of nonprofit organizations decided to have roadside fund-raisers?"
It is a violation of Pennsylvania law for people to stand in the street soliciting donations, or to walk into the street to collect money proffered by motorists or passengers. Other states have similar prohibitions.
Municipal officials I've talked to about this issue say their policy is for police officers to intervene, stopping the practice when they see it, and sometimes they do — Whitehall police admonished a Penn State student in this manner during a December fund-raiser — but to my experience, enforcement seems sporadic at best. Some officers probably are hesitant, for the same reason you felt the need for the preface to your question, Steve.
One of the most prolific and visible on-street fund-raisers is the THON campaign conducted by Penn State students, billed as the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, having raised more than $78 million for pediatric cancer research since 1977 — nearly half of it the last six years. An annual dance marathon (hence the name) and other money-raising methods contribute to the tally, but officials have said 30 to 40 percent of the money comes from the street-side effort, known as "canning."
Obviously this is a commendable enterprise. But I shudder every time I see the young people out there, risking life and limb, however noble the cause. Under THON rules, they're not supposed to enter the street to collect donations, but often they do so. Normally they wait for vehicles to come to a halt at the intersection, but the timing's not always perfect. I've seen canners scurrying across lanes as the traffic is coming to a stop — slowly and sequentially, all the cars don't stop at once — and when the cars are starting to accelerate again after the light turns green.
Today's average vehicle speeds and the fact that heavily traveled roads grant the greatest opportunity for lucrative collections make for a situation fraught with danger, mostly for the canners.
The student-run nonprofit THON organization provides safety recommendations for canners, advising the students to wear bright, visible clothing, carry valid Penn State identification, display official THON signs, and obtain municipal permits when necessary. Students are told not to solicit in the middle of streets or intersections, or when it's dark. They're also instructed to review the state Vehicles Law as outlined in the THON Rulebook.
Penn State spokeswoman Jill Shockey said the THON organization, and the university, have continually stressed the need for students who volunteer for canning to take all relevant safety precautions. Canning scheduled for the weekend of Jan. 21 was postponed until this weekend because weather reports had predicted dangerous travel conditions, she said. That action followed a December traffic accident in which a THON volunteer was killed and several others injured while traveling to a canning location.
THON also torqued up its safety effort in January with a new policy requiring volunteers to attend a safety workshop to qualify for canning. A THON news release announcing the program said, "Simply, we hope to better inform students in order to ensure safe and legal fundraising."
Hopefully the workshops will help. For one thing, The Morning Call photographs from a THON canning spot in Bethlehem in December reveal that some of the students wore gray sweatshirts and jeans, contrary to the bright-colored clothing recommendation. I would suggest that THON hit the gas harder, making PennDOT-sanctioned bright-green reflective vests required outerwear for all canners. That would cost a few bucks — 15,000 students went canning in December — but the vests could be retained and reused by future volunteers.
For the longer term, here's a challenge: The Penn State community should use its vast well of creative energy to conceive a safe, effective alternate method for raising this vital research money. Shockey said she's aware of no student having been hit by a car and seriously injured in some 35 years of canning — thank goodness. Nevertheless, the practice as I've seen it, and as today's questioners have seen it, seems inherently unsafe.
THON students are justifiably proud of their fund-raising accomplishments, as are their families. "THON is one glorious example of what Penn State represents through its most important asset — students, not football, not coaches," Robert Aylward of Allentown, father of a THON volunteer, said in a December letter to the editor. The concern then was that the recent spate of negative publicity suffered by this great university might stifle contributions.
There's a far greater concern lingering on the travel lanes every time THON canners steer their way to an intersection near you — including this weekend. Keep an eye out for the young folks, fellow warriors. Having been young ourselves, we know how easily mistakes can be made.

Amid newly energized trading in the stocks of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, shareholders filed suit Monday against the federal government, contesting its takeover of the two in 2008.
The City of Austin Police Retirement System in Texas and Seattle-based bank Washington Federal are seeking $41 billion in damages. They charge that the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was "unlawful and unwarranted," as is the requirement instituted this year that the two pay the Treasury all of their profits.
"The government has appropriated many billions of dollars' worth of private shareholder property, without providing any compensation for this action," according to the filing.
Fannie Mae reported record profits in the second quarter of this year and has now paid the Treasury $95 billion in dividends, nearing the $116 billion it originally drew. Shareholders believe they should be reaping some of these profits, not the federal government.
Trading among common and preferred shares of both companies has been heavy recently, as hedge funds reportedly make the bet that the government will let the two off the hook once they pay back an equal amount in dividends to what they originally drew.
That is highly unlikely, as the dividend payments do not go to pay back the draws. The government still owns $188 billion worth of senior preferred shares in the two entities.

"What we found is that under almost all scenarios, the cash flows from the guarantee book would barely cover the principal owed to the U.S. government; as such, we believe little, if any, economic value will be given to non-government securities," according to an analysis by FBR Capital Markets.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. Court of Federal Claims, comes just as a new bill is being drafted in Congress to reform housing finance and potentially liquidate Fannie and Freddie. Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) have been working on the legislation that would prevent the need for a government mortgage backstop.
"I think you've got to move away from a situation where when private shareholder gain and government taxpayer losses, and that is what this bill seeks to do, it really transforms how we doing housing finance hopefully we will be able to pass something that puts us on a better course than where we are," said Sen. Corker in an interview Tuesday on CNBC.

Some analysts say the lawsuit could actually push Congress to act more quickly on winding down Fannie and Freddie.
"What we just a few days ago saw as only a remote possibility is now a 25 percent chance for action," wrote Jaret Seiberg of Guggenheim Partners in a note to investors. "This is because we suspect this will anger many on Capitol Hill who believe Fannie and Freddie are only alive and kicking because taxpayers put $187 billion at risk. We see the suit reinforcing the view on Capitol Hill that Fannie and Freddie included too much upside for investors and too much risk for taxpayers."

Solve a space mystery during "Operation: Intercept!" at Oakley STEM Center
Astronomy buffs can join a space shuttle crew and solve a galactic mystery during "Operation: Intercept!," the newest show in the virtual theater at the Millard Oakley STEM Center at Tennessee Tech University.
Geared toward school-age children, "Operation: Intercept!" challenges audience participants to set a course toward a mysterious object sighted near Jupiter. Along the journey through the solar system, kids will learn about planets, the sun's energy, asteroids and more. The audience can vote for different plots and approaches during the narrated, interactive, 30-minute show, learning different space and astronomy lessons along the way.
"Operation: Intercept!" opens Friday, Dec. 21, at noon at the Oakley STEM Center. Virtual shuttles will leave every half hour until 3:30 p.m.
"I very much enjoyed developing the new interactive addition to the virtual theater repertoire," said coordinator and designer Marc Robinson, who guides the audience through the mission's tasks. "Our virtual space travelers will enjoy a ride in a shuttle and help us solve a troubling question."
As part of the premiere festivities, visitors can go to the Venus, comet and rocket rooms to map out the surface of Venus, study Venusian volcanoes, cook up a comet, or create and launch rockets.
"Our hands-on projects are designed to deepen the visitors' understanding of concepts introduced during 'Operation: Intercept!'," said Gail Gentry, outreach coordinator for the Oakley STEM Center. "All ages can enjoy and experience activities in the Venus, comet and rocket rooms."
The premiere of "Operation: Intercept!" is a flexible event, meaning visitors may come and go to the show and experiment stations. A parent or guardian must remain on-site with children at all times.
Admission is free, but reservations are required. For information and to make reservations, visit tntech.edu/stem/virtual-theater or call 931-372-6573.
The theater will close during the university's holiday break, which begins Dec. 22. "Operation: Intercept!" will show Fridays at 4:30 p.m. beginning Friday, Jan. 18, 2013. "To the Edge and Back: A Tour of the Universe" will show at 4 p.m. Fridays. Admission is free.
The Oakley STEM Center is located in Ray Morris Hall on the campus of Tennessee Tech at 155 W. 7th Street, at the corner of 7th and Stadium Drive in Cookeville. The center offers programs that promote science, technology, engineering and mathematical education.

In recent years many retailers have opted to extend the start of the traditional holiday shopping season — the Friday after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday — into Thanksgiving itself. This year is no different, with many retailers offering more deals earlier than ever for the holiday shopping season. It's part of a strategy to collect as many consumer dollars as possible while compensating for a shorter-than-usual shopping season this year, some retailers and experts say.
Dustin Benitez, general manager of the Midtown Outlet furniture store in Anniston, said his business decided to get an earlier start on the holiday shopping season this year, offering special deals every Friday this month leading up to Black Friday. Benitez said Midtown Outlet will have special deals on a few items each Friday this month, followed by dramatically reduced prices on 50 items on Black Friday.
"It's a new strategy ... we just ran across some really great deals from our suppliers and wanted to get them out there," Benitez said. "We want to take advantage of the deals and get in as many customers as we can."
Benitez noted, however, that Midtown Outlet will open at 9 a.m. on Black Friday as usual and will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
Many national retail chains, however, will open on Thanksgiving even earlier than they did last year. According to a Monday press release from Target, the national chain will open its stores at 8 p.m. Nov. 28, an hour earlier than last year. Other retailers have already announced their intent to open earlier on Thanksgiving this year, including Macy's and J.C. Penney.
Josh Austin, manager of Sears in Jacksonville, said his store will open earlier this year, from 7 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving and then from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Black Friday.
"There will be different deals each day," Austin said. "It was just something Sears wanted to do."
Nancy King Dennis, spokeswoman for the Alabama Retail Association, said retailers are pushing their deals back earlier this year to make up for a short holiday season.
"There are five less shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year — Thanksgiving is much later than it has been in the past," Dennis said.
But even without the later Thanksgiving, the holiday shopping season has started progressively earlier in recent years, Dennis said.
"The main reason is customers are demanding it; they want to be out shopping," Dennis said. "If they weren't out shopping, the retailers wouldn't be doing it."
Dennis said retailers have good reason to expect shoppers will come out in force this Thanksgiving. According to the Alabama Retail Association, state retailers have had some of their best sales months this year since before 2008's Great Recession.
"We expect a 2 percent growth in Alabama holiday sales compared to last year, a total of almost $8.9 billion," Dennis said.
Brooke McCulley, marketing director for the Quintard Mall in Oxford, said the mall has seen great success since it started opening its doors at midnight on Black Friday three years ago.
"We see a lot of shoppers overnight," McCulley said.
McCulley said many of the mall's tenants will open even earlier this year. For instance, Toys R Us and Bath and Body Works will open at 5 p.m. while Goody's will open at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving. McCulley said the mall will give away a $250 gift card on Thursday and another one on Friday, as a way to entice more people to shop.
Mike Manos, operations manager for Wakefield's Inc, which runs Martin's Family Clothing and Wakefield's stores in Anniston and Oxford, said his stores will have plenty of deals for the shopping holiday. However, Martin's and Wakefield's will not open on Thanksgiving, but will open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
"About a few years ago we used to open at 6 a.m. but we moved it to 5 a.m. ... we feel we can get our business starting at that time," Manos said. "Black Friday is just such a huge day for all the retailers."

You may have seen Renaissance Man Soaps on a display at your local pharmacy or market, but what you may not know is that they're made in central Virginia. CBS19's Stephanie Satchell continues our series of products that are "Made in Central Virginia." She travelled to Barboursville to find out just what it takes to keep a local soap maker in business.
Soaps, lotions, massage oils are just a few items Barboursville resident Tom Curtis makes and sells locally.
"They're natural and they smell great and I get a lot of repeat business," said Tom Curtis, Soap Maker/Owner, Renaissance Man Soaps.
Curtis says folks are always stocking up on the lavender soap.
"Everybody loves lavender. It's great for your skin. There are a lot of healing properties in lavender and a lot of people use lavender for potpourri… scenting their lingerie drawer. It's very popular," said Curtis.
Curtis started his business, Renaissance Man Soaps about 20 years and takes a lot of pride in his work.
He pours until the measurements are exact, stirs the soap mixture until it's the right consistency and even creates his own soap molds and cutting device to make sure each bar of soap is the right size.
Although Curtis says making soap is easy he adds that there is one major challenge that comes along with having a small local business.
"You just don't get the exposure. It's a constant challenge to make enough money to keep going and in this economy that's not always so easy to do," said Curtis.
Curtis has found success in a tough economy. He relies heavily on his product placement in local stores and online sales. He also takes his soaps and lotions on the road to farmer's markets and street fairs. That's where he also gets a lot of customer feedback.
"They say oh I like that or I like it better than I used to or I don't like it as much as it used to be," said Curtis.
Curtis uses that input to make his product even better. He comes up with new scents and tweaks the old hoping to keep his customers happy all while boosting the local economy.

I love the light, airy clouds of bubbles of this Prosecco. Although Prosecco isn't supposed to compete with Champagne on the fineness of its bubbles, because it is made by a different carbonation process, Adami Prosecco gives Champagne a run for the money on the bubbly quotient. That, along with providing all the other fun-loving attributes of Prosecco, makes the Adami an intriguing and rewarding choice.
Although relatively simple compared to Valdo and Zenato, Mionettooffers crowd-pleasing notes of fresh lime, ginger, and yellow apple. Its soft finish makes it highly suitable for sipping by itself as an aperitif. However, I also found it matched well with cut fruit and light hors d'oeuvres.
Producer Nino Franco has attracted a cult following with his sleek, bone dry Prosecco's from the superior Valdobbiadene subregion. It offers near-Champagne-like power and penetration, at less than half the price of French Champagne. This makes it an excellent value, even though it sells at the higher end of the Prosecco price scale.
Oro Puro is Valdo's premium offering, produced from grapes from its finest vineyards, with even more zing and zest than the popular regular bottling.
Made from the grape variety of the same name, Prosecco is fast becoming our favorite go-to sparkler for celebrations of all types. This frothy offering, from one of Italy's most well-regarded producers of Prosecco, offers tremendous value. It combines refreshing, fruity flavors of white peach and acacia, with a hint of fresh squeezed lime on the finish.
Both dryer and more sophisticated than the more fruit-forward Valdo, the Zardetto is a thoroughly delightful Prosecco. Bursting with floral, pear and peach notes, this exuberant wine rolls across the palate with clouds of tangy, refreshing bubbles. It finishes with engagingly brisk acidity. A great choice.

Product Information
Blower Coil Vertical Quiet BCVQ
Price Quiet Vertical Blower Coils offer the same features and benefits as the standard vertical units but are shipped with a factory assembled discharge silencer to reduce room noise levels. The discharge silencer is specially designed and directly coupled to the Blower Coil unit to dramatically reduce noise with minimal impact on the performance of the unit.
Price quiet blower coils are shipped as two pieces with the silencer shipped loose for field installation.
This option features a Polymer film wrapped around the fiberglass media packed inside of the silencer. The polymer film and perforated metal facing the air are separated with an acoustical stand off. This is typical industry construction for silencers where fiberglass isolation is required. The Polymer film is a non-porous reflective material, therefore absorption of moisture is prevented, but less sound absorption is achieved when compared to an unlined fiberglass silencer. The Polymer film option is a good choice for areas were moisture may be encountered due to condensation or cleaning or for critical spaces such as labs, cleanrooms or surgical suites. Normally, when polymer film is specified for the silencer, exposed fiberglass will not be permitted in the downstream duct work due to erosion, cleaning or moisture concerns. It should also be noted that when polymer film is selected for the silencer, a liner option will normally be selected for the Blower Coil casing as well. This could be solid metal (double wall), fiber free foam or foil faced fiberglass board. All of these casing liner options will have an effect on radiated and inlet sound (discharge sound is not affected).The cataloged radiated and inlet sound levels are for standard fiberglass construction only.
For radiated and inlet sound data of casing liner options, please contact Applications Engineering. For further sound selection guidelines, please refer to the sound selection guide in the BCH section.

Intergenerational Influences on Adolescent Transitions (ICPSR 34512)
Principal Investigator(s): Hindin, Michelle J., Johns Hopkins University. Population, Family and Reproductive Health
This project focused on the timing and predictors of demographic decisions adolescents make as they move toward adulthood. Decisions made during adolescence, such as timing of marriage, fertility-related behavior, and school to work transitions are critical to the remainder of the life course. The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS) began with over 3,000 pregnant women in 1983. Since that time, over 2,000 of the women and over 2,000 children born in 1983-1984 have been extensively followed. Two more rounds of data were collected in 2002 and 2005, when the adolescents were 18 and 21 years of age. This project collected data on adolescents' cohabiting partners in 2002 and 2005, adding to existing data on decision-making collected from mothers in 1994. With the CLHNS, this project tests the hypothesis that household decision-making, conceptualized as measures of autonomy and relative power, is important as adolescents make key demographic decisions.

|The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board
I can see Hopkins outmanouvering Dawson this time. Dawson is a bit fragile mentaly I think and really seem a little intimidated by Hopkins... I wouldnt be suprised to see him 'snap' again like last time and foul his way out of the fight.
I just interviewed John Scully yesterday and will be posting the writeup sometime Saturday. It was an intriguing conversation and, hopefully, that translates into a good read...
Hopkins never makes for the most entertaining bouts, but you have to appreciate the intelligent tactics and ring generalship he displays at an advanced age. I watch him to appreciate an artist. Should be another close one, as usual for Bernard. And as usual, expect a bunch of debate and controversy about the decision. Just glad it is on HBO and not PPV.
If Dawson Is The End For Hopkins: He's Been The Only One Of The Kind
Written by Frank Lotierzo/Sweet Science
Tonight WBC light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins 52-5-2 (32) will take on former title holder Chad Dawson 30-1 (17) in what may be perhaps the last big fight of his stellar career. I refer to Hopkins as the champ because until he's defeated for the WBC version of the title - he has to be considered the top light heavyweight fighter/boxer in the world. At least based on his body of work and all that he brings to the ring as a fighter and technician, despite him fighting with diminished skills at age 47.
Six months ago Hopkins and Dawson fought almost two full rounds and nothing was decided. Dawson slammed Hopkins to the canvas late in the second round and Bernard sustained a shoulder injury and couldn't continue. The fight was eventually and correctly ruled no-contest and tonight we get to see the do-over which in reality will be their first and only meeting. Granted, nothing was settled when they last met, but there is one thing we know, and that is Chad Dawson holds every advantage over Hopkins that one fighter could hover over another. You name it, Dawson gets the check over Hopkins in every category with the exceptions being experience and toughness. In addition to that he posses a style that has troubled Hopkins over his career.
Sure Bernard can adapt to any style, but since his 40th birthday he has been most troubled by fighters who are fast and throw a lot of punches. However, those style fighters (Joe Calzaghe & Jermain Taylor) didn't go at Hopkins in anger and try to take his head off, and they were that much the better for it. And that may be Hopkins' biggest asset tonight. Because of the animosity between he and Dawson, it's not hard to envision Chad trying to really put his stamp on this fight and become the first fighter to stop Hopkins. And if Chad loses his cool, which isn't out of the question since Bernard will be doing everything in his power to lead him into doing that, it opens the door for Hopkins to notch his most impressive win since beating light heavyweight title holder Antonio Tarver six years ago.
Everyone knows what Hopkins will have to deal with to beat Dawson. He'll need to overcome height, reach, speed, youth and father time, and that's the short list. Hopkins hasn't won by stoppage in eight years and it's hard to picture him stopping Dawson later this evening.
So lets assume that Hopkins loses for the sake of argument.
For starters, Hopkins legacy can't be hurt in the least, even if Dawson knocked him out with the first clean punch he landed in the first round. There will be plenty of time to do career retrospective pieces on Hopkins if he loses to Dawson. However, as amazing as Hopkins has been inside the ring, what he's done as a self manager outside it far eclipses Floyd Mayweather (who learned how to sell himself from Vince McMahon) and that's the part of Hopkins career that boggles my mind that never is mentioned in articles about him.
Hopkins was hindered from the time he got out of prison and turned pro in 1988 after serving five and a half years for armed robbery. He was a former convict, he didn't posses an Olympic medal, he wasn't movie-star good looking, he fought a style that only sophisticated boxing fans could appreciate, his fights weren't terribly exciting and his prison mentality put many big money backers off. Only he believed in himself as a fighter and man. He refused to compromise in any way shape or form and learned the business side of boxing.
Yes, Hopkins made some managerial mistakes along the way but eventually beat the system and boxing establishment (how many fighters/greats can say that?) and managed to earn some of his biggest purses and signature victories at the end of his career. And to top it off he kept the money he would've had to pay a manager for himself. Yes, Hopkins grasped that no one would look out for him as a manager the way he would and eventually could.
What distinguishes Hopkins from other fighters who were involved with the business end of their careers is that he prepares for the negotiating table like he does the boxing ring. Bernard is one of the few fighters who understood just how important not losing was/is. He knew that as long as he kept winning, sanctioning bodies, promoters and even other fighters could never hold all the leverage over him. Fully aware that without big money backing him and him not being a media superstar, he was always one loss away from being at the mercy of a decentralized system. That's why he kept himself in great shape and never let the oldest trick in the book knock him off -- being offered big money bouts when the powers that be knew he couldn't get in supreme shape. Thus him losing and having no say over any direction of his career.
Hopkins has often talked about knowledge being the real power. So by practicing what he preached, he went about learning the business of boxing. He knows how much money is involved and where the money comes from. Knowing how the money is divided between pay-per-view and cable television, broadcast rights, advertising sponsorships, along with domestic and foreign sales, makes it much tougher for, as he calls them, "the good 'ol boy network" to bully him.
Here's a fighter who competed in the ring against lions as an all-time great, and at the same time has swam with the sharks who yield the real power in boxing outside the ring. At worst, he has only been nicked and scraped by them, instead of being eaten alive.
Yet it is Mr. Hopkins' understanding of how boxing operated - more so than any other fighter - that makes him unique in the history of the sweet science. If tonight is the end of the road for Bernard Hopkins, he'll retire with his health, wealth and dignity, adding his name to another short list. It'll be some time before the boxing world sees another Bernard Hopkins, if ever.
Oh, and if he beats Dawson, the legacy escalates and the final chapter will have yet to be written. No, I won't bet on Hopkins to beat Dawson tonight, but I certainly won't bet on Dawson either. It's utterly amazing that despite him nearing 50 and fighting another young lion that I dare not bet against Bernard Hopkins in a fight I'm picking him to lose.
For your reading pleasure, I just posted up an extensive interview with Dawson's trainer, "Ice" John Scully. You can view it at the following link:
I think you'll enjoy the pics, as well as a little video clip of Scully sparring with Roy Jones, Jr.

The short story: Need one, preferably two, queens ASAP. I'm in Naugatuck, but willing to drive basically anywhere in the state, or over the border into NY or MA.
The long story: Two hives had queens in March, had no queens in April. Gave them both a frame of eggs from a hive started from a split last July. On the 4th, there were 9 capped queens cells in one hive, and 4 in the other. On the 11th, the remaining queen cells in one looked like they were ripped open from the side, there were no remnants in the other hive. As of today, there are still no eggs, and I cannot find a queen in either hive. Meanwhile, the split died and/or absconded, leaving me with two queen-less hives and no way to raise more queens.
I've been looking around online to order a queen, but I'm worried about the delay. Since neither hive has had a real population boost in over a month, I kind of feel like, at this point, it's a race against time to get a queen in and get her laying, and loosing another week waiting for one to be shipped makes me uncomfortable.
Can anyone help me out?

I am just starting to get back to hockey. I've noticed that everyone and their mom has one of those composite sticks.
I looked into getting one but at $40+ for 1 stick that (from what I've heard on tv and players) can break at any moment, it doesn't look like a deal. I can get a decent wood stick at that price.
In short, what are the advantages of these sticks that make them worth more than twice a good ole wood stick ?

Interdisciplinary Research in Hazards and Disasters
(Hazards SEES)
The overarching goal of Hazards SEES is to catalyze well-integrated interdisciplinary research efforts in hazards-related science and engineering in order to improve the understanding of natural hazards and technological hazards linked to natural phenomena, mitigate their effects, and to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. The goal is to effectively prevent hazards from becoming disasters. Hazards SEES aims to make investments in strongly interdisciplinary research that will reduce the impact of such hazards, enhance the safety of society, and contribute to sustainability. The Hazards SEES program is a multi-directorate program that seeks to: (1) advance understanding of the fundamental processes associated with specific natural hazards and technological hazards linked to natural phenomena, and their interactions; (2) better understand the causes, interdependences, impacts and cumulative effects of these hazards on individuals, the natural and built environment, and society as a whole; and (3) improve capabilities for forecasting or predicting hazards, mitigating their effects, and enhancing the capacity to respond to and recover from resultant disasters.
Hazards SEES seeks research projects that will productively cross the boundaries of the atmospheric and geospace, earth, and ocean sciences; computer and information science; cyberinfrastructure; engineering; mathematics and statistics; and social, economic, and behavioral sciences. Successful proposals will integrate across these multiple disciplines to promote research that advances new paradigms that contribute to creating a society resilient to hazards. Hazards SEES intends to transform hazards and disaster research by fostering the development of interdisciplinary research that allows for appropriately targeted data collection, integration, and management; modeling (including predictive models for real-time decision making); visualization and simulation; data analytics and data-driven discovery; real-time sensing; cross-cutting knowledge development; and synthesis of applicable models and theory. Proposals must demonstrate the inclusion of the appropriate expertise to address the research questions, hypotheses, and problems being posed. Hazards SEES research projects should be designed around one or more locations, identifiable hazards, and/or themes. Furthermore, Hazards SEES research should train the next generation of scientists for interdisciplinary hazards and disaster research.

Q: I once lived in Highland Park, Ill., with a cat named Poco. We were inseparable. When he was diagnosed with kidney stones, I had to give him up; I just couldn't afford treatment in 1987. I still miss Poco very much. How do I ask for forgiveness when he depended on me for everything? I feel like I let him down big time. -- C.H., Bloomington, IN
A: How I wish we had the power to change the past, but so far, that can't be done. And I don't have the power to exonerate you. Besides, who am I? I've made mistakes, too. Like you, I suffer from the human condition of being imperfect.
cats. It's possible that when Poco was ill, little could be done.
You could atone by saving a life. If you don't currently have a pet, you could adopt from a shelter. A cat with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) might be a great choice, or a middle-aged cat who otherwise might never find a home.
Q: My female cat has become a bird-killing machine. She's been an indoor/outdoor kitty for several years now. Safety collars (with bells to warn wildlife) come off. Is there a better idea? -- E.C., Rutledge, TN
A: Ideally, the best solution is to keep your cat indoors. For one thing, she'll be safer. While your cat is a predator, cats can also become prey for birds of prey, coyotes and worst of all -- cars. Outdoors, cats may nibble toxic plants or lap up deadly antifreeze. In the winter, they may seek warmth under car hoods, then become mangled when unsuspecting drivers start their engines.
Also, people who allow their cats outside aren't being very neighborly. A roaming cat may use a neighbor's garden as toilet, or drive the neighbor's indoor cat batty just walking past the window. Cats also kill songbirds and other wildlife.
If your cat was formerly feral, or has been living outdoors her entire life, I know it might be challenging to convert her to an indoor existence. The secret is to make life more interesting inside by enriching your cat's environment.
Instead of leaving out food all the time, feed your pet at specific times, except for around 10 percent of her food. Offer that 10 percent in puzzle toys which the cat has to maneuver to reach the goodies. Place the puzzle toys in random spots around the house and encourage your kitty to "hunt" for them. Provide lots of climbing space, and activities when you're not home. Some cats even enjoy watching DVDs of fish or birds.
Rotate the cat's toys and create some simple new ones; toss a Ping Pong ball in the bathtub or a wine cork in an empty box. If you have a back yard, build or order some cat fencing (one company is at http://www.catfencein.com). Catios are increasingly trendy -- patios or balconies enclosed within cat fencing, so cats can't jump or fall off, and predators can't get in.
Since the bell to warn wildlife isn't working, try a cat bib (available at http://www.catgoods.com/). For many cats, the bib effectively throws off their balance, so catching birds and lizards becomes much more challenging, even impossible. Arguably, a bib might make an outdoor cat more vulnerable to predators.
Q: There's rumbling where I live about a mandatory law requiring microchip for all pets. In some cases, microchipping may not make sense. How do you feel about this? -- C.D., via Cyberspace
A: Personally, I don't feel government mandates are helpful, and a mandate to microchip all pets would be difficult to enforce. Also, with veterinary visits on the decline, I worry that pet owners who don't want to microchip might never visit a veterinarian for fear of being turned in.
However, I don't see any occasion when microchipping would "not make sense." One way to enforce such a law, which has worked in many communities, is to require that all animal shelters and rescue groups microchip pets before adoption. Cook County in Illinois offers periodic low cost microchipping (and vaccine) clinics for pet owners who can't afford the fee.
The lives of millions of pets have been saved as a result of microchipping (when owners have also registered contact information with the chip provider). One provider, HomeAgain lost pet recovery service, just announced their millionth pet recovery since the company launched in 1996.
Sadly, one in three pets will get lost during their lifetimes. Without a microchip, chances of reunification aren't good, particularly for cats. Yet, people are less likely to microchip cats than dogs. There's simply no downside to microchipping,
Q: Stanley, our 9-year-old Pug, has started snoring. What can we do? -- B.A., Downers Grove, IL
A: Be thankful! Typically, Pugs start to snore long before age 9. However, anytime you spot a new behavior in a pet, it's wise to visit your veterinarian to rule out a physical explanation. An overweight dog is more likely to snore, so a weight loss regimen might be helpful. However, the reality is that most pugs sooner or later, snore. Of course, maybe Stanley has always snored, and you've just become a light sleeper.

Blackberry Enterprise Server
What is a BlackBerry?
A BlackBerry device is a hand-held personal digital assistant that functions as a cellular phone, wireless e-mail client and web browser. University employees who own, or are interested in owning, a BlackBerry device have the option of entering into a campus agreement with the Information Technology Office (ITO) that provides additional device functionality. Enterprise Server Support through ITO allows the device to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook data on the mso.umt.edu e-mail exchange server.
The Service Plan with Enterprise Server Support provides a continuous dynamic link to personal Outlook data on the mso.umt.edu Exchange server (local e-mail, contacts (personal and global), and calendaring systems) and includes the following additional features:
- Set-up and maintenance by ITO of BlackBerry Enterprise Server account.
- E-mail support includes attachments with images and MS Office documents.
- Continuous dynamic link to personal Outlook data on the mso.umt.edu Exchange server functions even with the user's desktop computer is turned off.
The basic plan assumes an agreement between the user and a wireless carrier. The Service Plan with Enterprise Server Support adds the extra services through an additional agreement between the user and IT. IT operates a local server linked to local e-mail, calendaring, and Web services. Interaction with the user's desktop computer is minimal.
Costs and Device Acquisition
Note: These prices are subject to change without notice. Please verify with vendor for current pricing. At the present time, we have agreements with two carriers who are working within the state contract process.
The purchase cost of an individual device and service plan:
UM Information Technology Blackberry Service Support Plan:
There is no charge for University-related business devices. We do not support personal devices.
- Server Set-up and Support = $160 per year.
- Client Access License (CAL) = At this time there is no charge for a UM-business related CAL.
- Macintosh users can synchronize their BlackBerry Wireless Handheld with Entourage, address book, iCal, Now Contact, Now Up-To-Date and Stickies. You will have to purchase a copy of Pocket Mac for BlackBerry desktop software. For more information, please see PocketMac for BlackBerry or call 1-866-POCK-MAC. We do not sell PocketMac software.
Setting up an Enterprise Server Account at UM
To add Enterprise Server Support, you have to request a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Account.
- Complete the Blackberry Server Account form.
- You will receive an e-mail from firstname.lastname@example.com. The e-mail contains a copy of your completed form for you to review.
- If you are satisfied with the e-mail containing your completed Blackberry Server Account form, return it to the Blackberry support group (firstname.lastname@example.com).
- Please follow the instructions in the e-mail from firstname.lastname@example.com. (This will verify your request and authorize PTS to charge your designated account for the Client Access License and one year of server support.)
- Contact IT Central, 243-4357, to arrange an appointment for server activation. One of the Blackberry Support Team members will schedule a meeting with you in your office to complete activation. Your computer may need to be restarted during the installation process. Please be prepared to shut down all applications during this meeting. This meeting will require approximately 30-60 minutes.

The novel column chemistry of the Acclaim® Mixed-Mode WAX-1 results in a multimode separation mechanism including hydrophobic, anion-exchange, and cation-exclusion interactions.
Consequently, retention of basic, neutral, and acidic molecules can be either independently or concurrently adjusted by changing ionic strength, pH, and organic solvent content in the mobile phase.
The Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column combines hydrophobic and anion-exchange characteristics, on a 5 μm high-purity, porous silica with 120-Å diameter pores. Because of this unique chemistry, the Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column also provides complimentary selectivity to C18 reversed-phase columns.
Hydrophilic organic acids are often difficult to separate with common RP columns, since hydrophobic retention alone is inadequate to differentiate molecules with similar hydrophobicities. This can be overcome using the Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column; it provides sufficient retention, and ideal selectivity for a variety of anionic molecules, even for weakly charged molecules.
Acclaim® Mixed-Mode WAX-1 LC Column Features:
- Adjustable selectivity
- Selectivity orthogonal to reversed-phase (RP) columns
- Ideal selectivity for anionic molecules
- Simultaneous separation of acidic, basic, and neutral molecules
- Multimode retention mechanisms: reversed- and normal phase, anion-exchange, cation-exclusion, and HILIC mode
Column Details:
- Chemistry: Alkyl amine
- Particle Size: 5 µm
- Pore Size: 120 Å
- Length: 50, 150, 250 mm
- ID: 2.1, 3.0, 4.6 mm

Hey everybody! This is my first post. I've been reading some BRP and RuneQuest material just out of curiosity. I've never actually played a pen and paper RPG before, but I've read quite a few rulebooks (sadly). What started me on my journey of reading these books, funny enough, was looking for ideas to create Elder Scrolls mods for the video games. :) The rules of Elder Scrolls games always bugged me.
Anyway, these dice-rolling RPGs look pretty fun! I'd like to play sometime. So, I've been reading different rule sets (D&D, Interlock, Unisystem, Barbarians of Lemuria, Mini Six just to name a few), and of all these sets of rules, I like BRP the best. . . sort of. I was wondering if someone here could help me break through my mental block I'm having with BRP.
The idea of a percent IS intuitive, yes. But, to me, the way it is used in BRP games (in general) does not feel intuitive. I'll try to explain as efficiently as I can.
1. The idea that my skill rating is not a rating but a DC in and of itself messes with my head. I WANT to look at this number as a rating, but when the GM modifies this number
due to difficulty, then it feels as though they modified my skill rating, which makes no sense. I know it seems like I'm picking nits, but really! It messes with me.
2. Percentile. What does this mean? How is it a percentage? Of what? If this DC can go over 100, and you can fail on a 00 no matter what, then how is this a percentage?
Doesn't the '%' symbol imply that 100 is the ultimate maximum which means "always and forever?" Again, picking nits, but really. It messes with me.
3. Roll under doesn't feel as good as roll over. There SHOULD be a way to easily make BRP an optional roll over system. Couldn't you say if your skill rating is a 70, then you have to roll over a 30? Or something like that?
Okay, I know it may seem like I'm nitpicking because I know there are probably thousands of people who don't have these problems, but these things really bug me.
I believe the idea of using percentile dice IS intuitive and awesome, but I feel like the way it is actually used in the rules isn't very intuitive. Can you guys and gals set me right?

Developer Christ Starr ended the initial size, scale and massing presentation before the Belmont Planning Board of his Cushing Village proposal with the release of preliminary designs for the Hyland, the third of three mixed retail and residential buildings that makes up the development at the corner of Common and Belmont streets.
In an blistering attack, Belmont Schools Superintendent Thomas Kingston blasts the accreditation report of Belmont High School written last month by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, noting numerous misrepresentation of facts and outdated assumptions.
Belmont Center was filled with shoppers late into the night Monday as 18 small businesses participated in Midnight Madness where retailers conducted discounts, sales and gave away free goodies until the clock struck 12.
After more than 160 years on Washington Street, a rare example of Gothic Revival construction called this week by its long-time owner. It is unknown what will replace the historic home.
Belmont's Jewish residents celebrated Hanukkah that began on Saturday at sunset.
Fast food will be coming to the former Murray Sandler Skate Shop site as an independent burger joint gets set to move into the Concord Avenue location in the next year.

Stream fishing
A couple days of heavy rain last week followed (finally) by some warm weather have increased the runoff. Stream flows on many area streams have actually increased over the last week or two.
My advice to stream anglers: consider fishing some of our many fine local lakes for the next couple weeks.
If you are determined to fish a stream make sure to present your offering deep. Current conditions are not conducive to surface feeding.
Flows are higher and the water is colder than it usually is this time of year. Use extreme caution when wading.
