Nips are a candy I always see around, but never ate unless I was surrounded by adults. They read as a "grandma" candy to me, something I'd find in a candy bowl when I was surrounded by the elderly. The only other place I ever had them was in 4th grade English class, where my teacher would give them out as prizes for answering questions correctly. In fact, I still think of her whenever I see them, and I find myself wondering how she's doing and if she's remember me. Such memories!
I decided to give these a try since I haven't had them in years. I wanted to refresh my memory and my taste buds. Tracking them down proved a bit of a challenge, partly because not every store carries them, but also they seem to be stocked on the top most shelf in the candy aisles. This proves troublesome for someone as short as I.
Nips are a simple and modest candy. They're round, about the size of a quarter, and are very solid to the touch. I almost though them to be a hard candy, but then I remembered that they have an intense caramel taste. So essentially, they're a wad of dense caramel with added flavors. Some, like the Dulce De Leche flavor in this review, have a filled center. Others, like the Butter Rum, have the flavors worked into the caramel.
Butter Rum: It's been a long time since I had anything butter rum flavored. These are sweet, creamy, and very rummy. As in I get this burn in the back of my throat that I can only contribute to alcohol. It's very nice, even though it's not my thing. I'm reminded of the butter rum Lifesavers and of the fake extract you find in the supermarket. It's artificial, yet very flavorful and pleasant.
Dulce De Leche: These have a light yellow colored dreamy center surrounded by the caramel. The flavor is immediately creamy with nice caramel and toasty flavors. I'm reminded of butterscotch a bit, but this has a slight yogurt tang and much creamier. Simple and tasty.
I really like these, and was really pleased with how long they lased in my mouth. I was able to suck on one for a good fifteen minutes, which is impressive for me as I prefer to chew my candy. The drops are fun to eat too as they move around in your mouth with your tongue like a little hockey puck. It's very entertaining. I'm pleased to say these lived p to my memories and I'll be picking up a few more boxed since I felt like a kid being able to enjoy them again.

Hotel chain Marriott International will open its first hotel in Haiti: the $45 million, 173-room Port-au-Prince Marriott, the company announced in a deal linked to former President Clinton and his economic development foundation.
The new hotel will be run by Marriott and owned by a unit of Digicel Group, the biggest phone company in the Caribbean nation. Construction is expected to begin next year and finish in mid-2014, executives said.
Port-au-Prince has only about 500 hotel rooms operating now, too few to handle all the travelers to the capital city, including people working on reconstruction projects after Haiti's devastating earthquake last year.
The Clinton Foundation worked closely with Marriott and Digicel to develop the hotel venture. The Foundation connected the two companies, visited proposed construction sites with them and facilitated introductions to the Haitian government and the Haitian Tourism Association, according to a statement this week.
"This new hotel project will stand as a symbol of Haiti's recovery, providing much needed jobs to the Haitian people and encouraging foreigners to visit, invest and work in Port-au-Prince," former President Clinton said in the statement. The investment shows that "Haiti is open for business and on the path to economic recovery," said Clinton.
Digicel is the largest private investor in Haiti. It is led by Irish businessman Denis O'Brien. O'Brien's Digicel Foundation has been working with Clinton on Haiti reconstruction and helped rebuild the iconic Iron Market in Port-au-Prince.
Marriott also has been helping with earthquake relief. The Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, which has about 250 Haitian employees, took part in two missions to Haiti, delivering clothing and other supplies, helping rebuild homes and schools and providing other support. Associates of Marriott's South Florida hotels raised $200,000 to support Haitian recovery efforts. And in 2010, the J. Willard and Alice Marriott Foundation contributed $500,000 to the Red Cross for immediate earthquake relief and resettlement efforts.
The new Port-au-Prince Marriott will be located in the Haute Turgeau area of the city It will feature 168 rooms and five suites with such amenities as high-speed Internet, flat-screen televisions and 24-hour room service. It also will include nearly 5,000 square feet of meeting space, a fitness center and swimming pool.

Facebook this. Facebook that.
I hear experts and whiners opine on the drawbacks of a Facebook-obsessed culture quite frequently.
And I get it.
I get that technology has changed the way we communicate in ways that are significant and probably permanent. And I definitely get that Facebook isn't for everyone. One of my brothers and two of my parents refuse to go anywhere near Facebook.
I have friends, colleagues, and relatives who steer clear of the social network for a variety of reasons. They want time away from the computer. Or they're busy doing other things. Or they think that Facebook is just about telling the world what you did today and why you wish you had another teacher, boss or another option for dinner.
But for an introvert, Facebook is a really useful tool.
Yes, I'm an introvert. With the exception of those close to me, people are usually a little surprised when I say this. But highly evolved social skills and the confidence of maturity do not necessarily translate to extrovert. For all of my 50 years, I have preferred the company of my thoughts to the company of a crowd.
Of course the ideal situation has always been having a best friend or partner or other kindred spirit with whom to share those thoughts. One-on-one has always been the best. But life can't be just one-on-one. If you work, if you aspire, if you dream, then the day-to-day will usually involve more than just one other person. Even if you just exist, life usually involves other people. And other people have historically proven problematic for me.
For a million reasons that can be traced to my genes, my family, socialization and aliens, I spent years questioning my personal appeal. I doubted the desire of others to spend time with me and include me in their inner circles. Yes, I had friends and yes, I was friendly, but I was never comfortable in a purely social environment.
My teen years were especially difficult as I struggled to find those one or two people who would understand what made me tick — and appreciate it. But back then, loners and other nonconformists did their alone-ing and non-conform-ing in the isolation of their parents' homes.
It wasn't until college that I began to find those who would talk about Camus for an hour or debate the importance of understanding the purpose of the possessive. The fabulous inventions of the college cafeteria and library made it easy. You could easily see who preferred the company of their books and notebooks to everything else. Even better, you could ask to share their table or easily start a relationship with a stupid question regarding the hours of the bookstore.
The college cafeteria was eventually replaced by Starbucks and bookstores with in-house cafes. Those needing laptop plugs became instant logistically-bound friends while those without laptops learned to innocently ask what we laptop people were concentrating on with such intensity.
But Facebook has provided an opportunity that I've never been able to enjoy in the school cafeteria, the neighborhood coffee shop or anywhere other people tend to congregate. Facebook has allowed me to interact with a higher degree of casual comfort, unafraid that I may be placing the other person in an awkward situation.
On Facebook, I don't need to worry about whether someone is waiting for a date or saving a seat for a spouse or just plain hoping I'll get lost. On Facebook, all interaction is voluntary. It's easy to throw out a social prompt — via a "Like" or a post or a comment — and then get back the energy of people who genuinely want to engage. Even better, you get that energy back at a time when others are available to engage. It's hard to interrupt someone on Facebook or accidentally suggest that you want more — or expect more — than a simple and brief mutually fulfilling interaction.
Yeah. I'm good on Facebook.
I really hope that Mr. Zuckerberg doesn't have any plans to transfer Facebook into the real world of in-person interaction.
How do you tell your friends that you're scared to meet them?

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Additional minced fresh thyme, optional
- Cut Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes into 1/8-in. slices; toss with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide between two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Roast at 425° for 17-20 minutes or until tender.

The Shanghai'd Crustacean was as dimly lit and seedy a dockside bar as any. It was filled with sailors, men who called Hong Kong their home port and many foreigners besides. The place smelled strongly of sea salt, sweat, and stale beer. Raccous laughter and conversation in a dozen different languages threatened to drown out even personal though. In one corner a bald scar faced Chinamen belted an Irish elf in the mouth and the two knocked over a table, going down in a flurry of blows.
It was the same ol' same ol' in the Crustacean save for one or two tiny new things. The most obvious was the series of newer wanted posters tacked up, as they had been tacked up in all the bars and businesses alongside the docks.
Camilla Zarine Kelsy Alias Keke was the first listed, with a fairly thorough description and a list of crimes real and partially imagined. Ervan Remoh followed next, again with the list of crimes. This one had a crude drawing of the man, followed by the warning that he sometimes lit himself on fire to evade capture. The last mentioned by name was the monster Cho'kar, a cohort of the other two. A sort of man animal hyrbid creature was drawn, typical depction of orcs and other more bestial humanoids among the populace. There was then a lit of known associates and a pirce list for the bounties on their heads. Sizable bounties. The more curious thing about the posters was the notice added on, in Chinese. "The Palace will match the rewards and provide letters of proof to enable the capturer to claim the original bounty should any of the Wanted be brought to stand trial here. Inquire with Royal Advisor."
THe other small new thing here wasn't actually small, more man sized. A single figure that blended into the crowd for the most part. A Kimono and cloak covered the body and the face was hidden beneath a scarf. Eyes were obscured behind goggles of darkly smoked glass and a large coolie hat shrouded all. The person beneath the get up glanced at the posters for a bit longer than most but mostly kept a low profile toward the back of the bar, watching, and listening.

David Stern is not playing around when it comes to the NBA's image.
He handed down a $100,000 fine to Lakers guard Kobe Bryant for appearing to make a homophobic slur towards an official during the third quarter of a heated 102-93 victory against the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday.
The Lakers organization told media outlets they "could not confirm" what Kobe said, however Kobe told ESPN radio that he was sorry for his "comment."
"What I said last night should not be taken literally," Kobe Bryant told ESPN 710's Mason & Ireland show. "My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone."
"The comment that I made, even though it wasn't meant in the way it was perceived to be, is nonetheless wrong, so it's important to own that."
Kobe Bryant continued on to say he hopes his words are not viewed as a "message of hate."
Although Kobe Bryant never owned up to exactly what word he used, the overall message of his apology appeared sincere. He isn't the first and certainly not the last athlete — or coach — to use inflammatory language in the heat of play.
Locker rooms, basketball courts, football fields and any places of competition have long been a cesspool for political incorrectness. It's become an accepted part of the sports culture so this will be a challenging task for athletes (and coaches) to consistently adjust their language.
But Stern is sending a clear message here. Watch those mouth or those wallets. Their choice.
So what do you think sports fans? Do you see a growing trend of fines coming or will players be more careful to adjust their language?

Tentacle #17 is out
Issue No. 17 of Tentacle, the annual newsletter of the IUCN/Species Survival Commission, Mollusc Specialist Group, edited by Rob Cowie of the University of Hawaii, is now available here, where all the previous issues can also be accessed.
This is the 3rd Tentacle issue in which I have an essay that was based on a post that first appeared on this blog. My piece titled "Will assisted colonization be a viable option to save terrestrial gastropods threatened by climate change?" is on p. 14. It is a much revised version of this post.
I decided to turn that post into an essay for the Tentacle when in early November of last year I received an e-mail from a reader who was inquiring if I would object to having my blog post cited in a manuscript in preparation.
The value of blogging in providing an outlet to test the edibility of half-baked ideas has become very clear to me now.
Posts about the previous issues of the Tentacle in which I had pieces inspired by earlier blog posts are here and here.
There are many other good articles in Tentacle #17. Download a copy now.

Since 2006 there have been two projects in the works in the city of Milford.
One was the development of a subdivision known as the Wickersham, located in the area of the intersection of Cedar Creek Road and Coastal Highway. The other was the city's plan to build a water tower and water treatment facility in that area of the municipality, in order to improve water pressure and offer treatment closer to that end of town.
The projects have become closely intertwined as of late.
According to City Manager Richard Carmean, the subdivision was being held up because the county would not re-record it as a subdivision, unless the developers could prove that the city would be able to provide the property with utilities. The subdivision has had to apply for five extensions to complete their preliminary subdivision plan.
Carmean also said that the city couldn't prove that they would be able to provide utilities unless they were able to get the water treatment facility and a water tower in that area. It was undeniably a dog chasing it's own tail sort of issue. That's when both parties decided to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.
Earlier this year, the developers of the subdivision agreed to donate a three-acre portion of their 43-acre tract of land so that the city could build a water treatment facility and a water tower on the property. This then allowed the city to ensure that they could in fact provide the area with utilities.
"We sat down with them and they of course needed utilities and so they cooperated so we could build the facility to give them service. They could never have built without utilities and we couldn't have built without land," Carmean said.
At the Monday's City Council meeting both of these projects were moved forward. City Council unanimously adopted a resolution to accept a $5 million USDA loan, which will be used to fund the building of the water tower and water treatment facility.
According to Carmean the city has had the loan documents for years, they were just waiting for the land, right of ways and easements before they signed off on it.
"We received a letter for the USDA telling us that if we didn't get something started on this they were going to rescind the loan application," Carmean said. "So this is good news. We've spent some money so now they'll let us go ahead and close this out."
Now that the loan has been approved, Carmean estimates that the bidding process for the facilities will begin in late spring or early summer. Once the construction of the building and tower begins it should take between 12 and 14 months to complete. However there is the danger that the project will be held up because of an inability to acquire the steel needed for the project.
Page 2 of 2 - After approving the resolution to sign the loan, the City Council turned its attention to the subdivision. The council unanimously approved an extension for the Wickersham group, which now has until March 23, 2014 to get their plans approved by the city. That process is finally possible, now that the city can ensure it will be able to deliver the necessary utilities.

How to Grind Coffee:
- Select a grinder. The electric single blade grinders are effective but noisy. They chop up the bean, sometimes producing an uneven grind, and the heat from the blade causes the beans to heat up, losing some of flavor. Burr grinders are like the older grinders, where you fill the hopper with the beans and they pass through the grinders one time. The grind is uniform and adjustments are easier
- Choose between electric and non-electric. Electric is fast but noisy and lacks the hands-on charm of grinding your own beans. The hand grinders take more time and are available in a wide variety of price ranges. Whichever one you decide on, look for the ability to adjust the grind for different brewing methods
- Pick the freshest coffee bean you can find. Look for the roasting date, rather than the expiration date. Coffee beans are best if used within one week of roasting. The beans need to be stored in airtight containers, rather than the bins that most stores use. Coffee beans emit carbon dioxide for about 2 weeks after they are roasted, causing their packaging to expand, so if you see vacuum packaging that conforms tightly to the beans, they are probably not fresh
- Adjust the coffee grinder to the proper grind. Most hand grinders have two adjusting nuts on the handle shaft. By loosening the top one, you are able to adjust the bottom one to the proper grind and then re-tighten the top nut to keep the setting secure. With the whirly grinder, you have to keep an eye on the grind and continue until it chops the beans to the desired size
- Decide on the fineness of the grounds based on the brewing process you are going to use. If you are going to expose the grounds to hot water for a short duration, you need a fine ground. The longer the exposure, the coarser the ground needs to be. If you grind the beans too fine for the brewing method, you expose too much of the surface to hot water, and the result is a bitter taste. However, if the grind is too coarse, the coffee may be weak and watery
Package Included:
- 1 x Manual Coffee Bean Burr Mill Hand Grinder

Cravings: Candied Fruits
Published May 28, 2008 - (Updated Dec 5, 2012)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Spring/Summer 2008 issue.
Candied fruit, or fruta cristalizada as it is known in Mexico, is manufactured using the techniques imported by the Spaniards in the 1500s. A laborious process of repeatedly submerging fruits in scalding water and sugar syrup gives entirely new personalities to commonplace pleasures such as pineapples, figs, orange and lemon peel, even squash. A year-round treat, candied fruit is readily available at most local supermarkets and more traditional mercados, with an unexpectedly broad variety offered at Soriana Playa de Oro and Liverpool in the Hotel Zone.

|Britt fourth at NACAC Championship
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad - University of Idaho junior Barry Britt took fourth at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships last weekend and helped lead Canada to a second-place team finish.
Britt traversed the 8,000m course in a time of 23:53.8, which was fourth overall and second on the Canadian senior men's squad.
"My race went much better than I expected - kind of a best-case scenario for me," Britt said on Wednesday. "I just kind of locked in with the lead guy and tried to hang with him as long as I could. I hung tough for the first 7k and then the top three guys kind of broke free."
By virtue of their second-place finish at the meet, the Canada men's team is now eligible to compete at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships on Mar. 20, at Punta Umbria, Spain. Britt said that Athletics Canada will review the team's performance to determine if they will indeed send a full team to the world meet.
If anything, Britt said, the experience gives him a fresh outlook and shows him that he's capable of becoming a top performer both at the NCAA and national level.
"It shows me that I can be a top runner and I can start to do bigger things," Britt said. "I ran with (individual NACAC champion) Robert Cheseret in that race for seven kilometers and he's a multiple-time PAC-10 champion, so it just shows me that I can be an all-American and I can be whatever I want."
Britt says he expects to find out whether he'll be traveling to the world championships sometime in the next week. After having a standout cross country season this fall for Idaho, Britt is redshirting the 2011 indoor track and field season.

I plan to buy a Intel 330 SSD (encrypts all data whit AES 128) and use it in a Asus EeePC 1215N (supports ATA password) whit the latest *ubuntu and Windows 7. I'm a fair paranoid user and security mathers but I also want a good performance and no trouble. The important data will be in ~ and is not needet to be accessible from Windows. But to have everything encrypted would be welcome.
Is it better to use a encrypted home or simply set a ATA password (the data on the SSD is encrypted by the device regardless)? Which is more secure and easier to handle?
I'm specially worried about suspend to RAM / drive (is it working and still secure?). I know suspend to drive is not possible whit a encrypted swap (I need a swap). And I read about hot swap attacks to Selfencrypted devices (but on this Laptop the SSD is under the keyboard and hard to reach). Whit a encrypted home and swap, how much would be the performance loss (as this device gains speed through compressing the data)? Is it possible to uses the ATA password to login the usere?
Thanks for any thoughts!

You Say What?
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
At your parish, what age/grade do you have to be to be an altar server??
In my parish growing up, it was 6th grade. I think it's 5th at my current parish and I've been to small parishes where the kids started after First Communion.
Sorry, you're asking if kids have to be servers. In the smaller parishes, I've seen everyone over 3rd grade serving. If your child is being forced to serve, you can say no, although you might want to figure out if it's a battle you want to fight.
At our parish, Father expects every boy over 3rd grade to serve. I wish I could let my 6th grade boy serve, but I don't care for the way he trains them. He calls them "morons" if they forget something, flicks them in the head or kicks at them...it's very disheartening since my son has mentioned wanting to be a priest...and I don't have a good one he can look up to...hopefully next year he'll get moved!
Headache cures? I suffer from migraine/awful headaches that cause nausea and worse...I feel they are getting worse and more frequent. I have a prescription for Tylenol with codeine but I only take them once in a while. I was in the hope that someone might have an idea for me? Thank you in advance!
I didn't read the 1st comment by Jay as implying that the children had to serve, just what the minimum age was to serve. In our parish, children are eligible to train the September after their FHC, so usually 3rd grade, and they begin serving in late October. For the first year or so (dictated by how many times they are on the schedule), they are limited to Candle Bearers and Cross. There are additional training sessions for Book and Thurifer. We just had almost 100 children receive FHC this month, I can't imagine what would happen if they were all forced to serve, each server would probably only get 1 Mass a year.
Apparently I can't read today. :P Anyway, as I thought about it, I remembered that when we were going to the EF, all our servers were in high school or college. So, it might have something to do with that. Lynnea, have you talked with the bishop about that? A priest flicking and kicking at servers seems like something he ought to know about.
In our parish, currently they ask 5th graders to begin lessons in serving and go on the schedule. This past year, only 1 joined, so they're considering going to lower grades. Donna--have you considered food/environmental allergies as possible causes for your headaches? No suggestion on cures, other than finding the source of what causes them in the first place. Hope you can find something soon--I know that can be miserable!
Thank you ladies. Yes I was wondering what the norm was for minimum age. I think my son will enjoy serving when he is older:)
At our parish, boys must be at least 6 years old before serving at the altar. Asking prayers for my father-in-law, Joe, who was placed on a ventilator in ICU today because his heart & lungs are not functioning properly. God's will be done. Thank you.
Hi Alice-no, I haven't brought it up. I mentioned it to a friend of mine and she said I should not bring my boy up to be a "wuss" and that it is just the way this particular priest trains them. So, I did mention it to this priest in a short meeting when he asked why my son did not serve, and he was astonished that I would think that he would ever do that to *MY* son...when I had witnessed it with other boys during the training last year. I just pulled him out.
:) Headaches? Drink water. It is healthy.
Donna L - The most important thing is to figure out your triggers for your migraines. For me, it is lack of sleep, alcohol, stress and certain other foods. So I try to avoid those and get regular sleep. I can't always avoid stress (in fact, recently, I can't seem to ever avoid stress :) ). Also, dehydration, exposure to heat, exercise etc seem to trigger headaches. Some supplements like CoQ 10 and magnesium seem to help prevent migraines if you take them everyday (talk to your doctor). Also, there are prescriptions meds that you can take everyday to help prevent headaches if they are bad. If you get a headache, take your medicine immediately. The sooner you take it the better it works. Finally, caffeine really helps treat migraines (that's the main ingredient in Excedrin) I just drink a cup of coffee with my ibuprofen if I get a headache. Good luck!
Lynnea-- Good for you for not putting your son in a potentially abusive environment. Your friend is dead wrong on this point. I agree that a note to the bishop would not be out of line. We would not stand for a teacher treating students this way... why is it ok for a priest to do it?
I agree. In addition to being abusive, it is also a terrible witness to the vocation of the priesthood, and to Christianity in general. I would never expose my son to this, and I would definitely contact the bishop. Lynnea, I'm very glad that you did the right thing for your son rather than taking your friend's advice.
Donna L, migraines are really tricky because there are so many possible triggers. There can also be a hormonal component, so if you're approaching permenopause, that could explain why you're getting them more often.
I get migraines that respond well to over the counter meds (exceed rain for migraines). I believe it's pain reliever, aspirin, and caffeine. Water helps. Mine are hormonal and have worsened over my mid to late forties. You're not raising a wuss because you didn't condone name calling and mistreatment. I'd call my bishop in a skinny minute. At the very least, it's a poor, poor witness. Good gravy.

By Christine Keith
When you tell someone you're planning to run a marathon, their reaction usually approximates one I heard today. It was from a doctor I was seeing to get the medical go-ahead to start my grueling training program for the 2012 ING New York City marathon. "God bless ya," she said, and shook her head.
I understand that reaction well, because it's one I was accustomed to giving friends who've told me they were going to take on the 26.2 mile run, a physical challenge I've always considered somewhere between extreme and insane. So what's changed for me? Well, glad you asked.
1) I've gone half way. In February 2011, I went to an informational meeting at work hosted by Team in Training, a wonderful organization that trains people for an endurance event while they raise money for cancer research. Full disclosure: I only attended the meeting for the free pizza and had never run more than a few miles at a time. But I walked out signed up for my first half marathon, and after months of pushing myself physically and mentally, successfully ran 13.1 miles. It was among the hardest things I've ever done, and, when I crossed the finish line exhausted, I would've sworn to you I couldn't run a single step farther. And on November 4th, it won't be one step. It'll be twice as many.
2) You can take the girl out of New York… I may have moved 900 miles away from New York last fall for a professional opportunity, but there were a few things I couldn't fit in the U-Haul. Like the amazing friends I've accumulated since kindergarten who all live in Manhattan, my supportive family, and the energizing, fascinating, dynamic spirit of the City most notorious for its insomnia. While I lived there, I spent two years as the co-chair of the Catholic Charities Junior Board, so the ability to support its mission from afar by participating on its inaugural marathon team is one I welcome. On race day, it'll be all those associations with my former home that propel me forward while I experience every part of it like I never have: by foot.
3) I made plans with a friend that day. During training for my half marathon last year, I became close friends with Katie, a seemingly normal (but exceptionally cool!) girl also running her first half marathon. We bonded over that experience before I found out that she herself was a two-time cancer survivor, giving added significance to the fact that we were running for an organization that raises money for cancer research. So when Katie set her sights on completing the NYC marathon this year and asked me to run with her, I told her that, while I fully supported her, I didn't think I could do it. But then I realized something.
4) I can do it. Or, more accurately, I can try. Thanks to friends like Katie, and my family, and just under three decades of proving myself wrong when I didn't think I could do something, I have enough reserves of support and inspiration to hopefully carry me through all five boroughs, and roughly five hours of my first New York City marathon. I know 2012 is the right year to do it for many reasons. The year it makes sense to go from spectating on 1st Avenue to hoofing it on the first Sunday morning in November. The year that I have the health and inspiration and free time (upside to moving to a city where you have no friends!), that I can attempt to knock this very daunting experience off my life list, all while raising money for Catholic Charities' incredibly worthy mission of answering the desperate needs of so many in my former home city.
So to my doctor (who, incidentally, gave me a clean bill of health for training), I guess I should say, you're absolutely right, God did bless me. And that's exactly why, when I run the marathon in four months, I will consider every mile – from the thrilling first on the Verrazano to the brutal 26th in Central Park – an extraordinary privilege.
- Support Christine's fundraising goal for Catholic Charities and cheer her on as she trains for the 2012 ING NYC Marathon.

Waxman Investigates EPA Denial of Clean Air Waiver
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) will investigate the EPA's rejection of a tough California rule restricting greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles. In a letter to EPA administrator Stephen Johnson, Waxman said the agency's action ignored the law, science, and common sense. The agency announced last month that California's request for a waiver under the Clean Air Act was unnecessary because the new energy bill represented a "clear national solution."
California filed the request for a waiver in December of 2005, citing the failure of the federal government to regulate automobile greenhouse gas emissions and the "serious and well-recognized" harms associated with climate change. California, long recognized as a leader among the states in adopting regulations tougher than national standards, has filed 53 Clean Air Act Waiver requests since 1967. This was the first denied by the EPA. EPA legal and technical staff unanimously advised Johnson to grant the waiver, and warned that its denial would result in loss of any ensuing lawsuits. Agency staff also told the Los Angeles Times that Johnson made his decision after auto executives met with vice president Dick Cheney last month and a Chrysler executive wrote to the White House outlining why California's request should be denied. The EPA said it would comply with Waxman's request and turn over all communications related to the denial.
Shrinks with Rx Ties Again Dominate DSM Writing Panel
More than two-thirds of the American Psychiatric Association task force charged with revising the influential Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, and several members of the 27-member body failed to disclose significant elements of their dealings with industry when the panel was announced last July, according to a story in U.S. News and World Report. For instance, task force chair David Kupfer of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported payments from two small companies that provide continuing medical education, but not the fact that those firms got their funding from Forrest Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer.
APA medical director James Scully pledged full disclosure for the 150-plus psychiatrists who will be named later this year to the panels that will construct the next DSM, which is due in 2012. But he rejected a call by some members of the group to exclude anyone with ties to the drug industry. An analysis of the last DSM found that 56 percent of the 126 panelists had ties to drug companies.
EPA Allows Use of Ozone-Destroying Chemical
The EPA will allow continued U.S. use of methyl bromide, an agricultural fumigant that is being phased out worldwide because it depletes the stratospheric ozone layer. The chemical is used to sterilize soil and eliminate pests prior to planting crops such as strawberries and tomatoes. Its use has been restricted since the 1987 passage of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The United Nations in 1994 determined that ending use of methyl bromide was the most significant action nations could take to protect the ozone layer, and signatories to the Protocol agreed to end all use of the chemical by 2005. The Bush Administration has increasingly pushed for critical use exemptions citing economic concerns, which have been allowed since 1997. The treaty initially limited such exemptions to national security or medical needs when there was no alternative.
Despite the successes of the Montreal Protocol, which has resulted in an 88 percent reduction in methyl bromide use below 1991 levels, scientists with NASA and NOAA say the Antarctic ozone hole broke records for area and depth in 2006. The Pesticide Action Network of North America is pushing for a total ban on all fumigant pesticides, which include methyl bromide, metam sodium, dazomet, 1,3-dichloropropene (Telone), chloropicrin, and methyl iodide, calling them "the most toxic chemicals used in agriculture."
UMass Med School Tightens Conflict of Interest Rules
The teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Massachusetts in Worcester has adopted strict conflict of interest rules limiting physician interaction with drug and device manufacturers, the Boston Globe reported. The new rules prohibit doctors from joining speakers bureaus that promote individual products or accepting meals or gifts from company salespersons. Corporate contributions to continuing medical education can continue under the new rules, but the money must go into a central fund rather than to individual departments or physician-trainers. And while physicians on faculty can still sign lucrative consulting deals with companies, such consultants will no longer be able to sit on the hospital's formulary and supply purchasing committees. "You don't want to chase drug company money out of the system completely," said David Rothman, whose Center on Medicine as a Profession at Columbia University is pushing for tighter conflict-of-interest rules at academic medical centers. "Drug companies are not tobacco companies. We all need them."
Former CPSC Staffer Blows Whistle on Agency Failings
The Consumer Product Safety Commission cannot be trusted to ensure the safety of the products it regulates, a former agency employee claimed in the Washington Post. According to Robin Ingle, who worked for the CPSC from 1998 to 2006, the agency has repeatedly bowed to pressures from industry and failed to place tighter restrictions on dangerous products or to release scientific reports detailing those dangers. The release of a report showing a rise in All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) deaths in 2003 was delayed for several months during which the agency's general counsel, a former attorney for the ATV industry, tried to force staff to insert language saying that the risk of riding ATVs was decreasing. The agency has also refused to require manufacturers of portable generators and drain cleaners to incorporate safety features, because doing so would have raised the cost and was objected to by manufacturers. "This pattern of suppressing scientific research [was] the agency's standard operating procedure," Ingle said. "The agency should listen to its own scientists and stop silencing the life-saving research happening in its buildings."
Zetia Risks Concealed by Manufacturer
Merck and Schering-Plough have failed to publish the results of studies showing their popular cholesterol-lowering drug Zetia may cause liver damage, the New York Times reported. Documents posted on the Food and Drug Administration's website suggested that unpublished company studies reveal a risk of serious liver damage among patients who take the drug along with a statin such as Lipitor or Zocor, which is how doctors usually prescribe Zetia. The manufacturers are already under scrutiny for failing to report the results of another Zetia study, known as Enhance, from which some patients were dropped because they showed elevated liver enzymes. Merck and Schering are on track to earn more than $5 billion this year from sales of Zetia, despite a lack of evidence that the drug actually lowers risk of heart attacks and strokes through its cholesterol-lowering action.
Odds and Ends
Hwang Woo-Suk, the Korean stem cell researcher who falsified research, requested government permission to resume his research on cloning studies using human eggs. Last year Hwang was stripped of his license and fired from Seoul National University for alleged embezzlement, accepting funds under false pretenses, and illegally purchasing human eggs for research. . . . President Bush nominated Stanley Suboleski, a former executive and current consultant with Massey Energy, as assistant secretary for fossil energy. Massey, one of the nation's largest coal producers, faces $2.4 billion in federal fines for more than 4,000 alleged environmental violations in West Virginia and Kentucky.

Where to Wax
The best (and most bearable) waxes, from New York to Los Angeles.
Strip: Ministry of Waxing
Paya Juceam
56 Spring St.
14 E. 60th St., Ste. 200
This spot excels at permanent hair-removal solutions, but we know plenty of editors who swear by the waxes here, so we decided to give it a try. We didn't get off to a great start when our aesthetician showed up 15 minutes late for our appointment—and unprepared. Worse, though, she was inconsiderate. She stayed in the room while we stripped, then went to fetch us a brochure on laser hair removal, leaving the door open and exposing us to hallway traffic. The service itself also tested our patience. Our aesthetician relieved us of every unwanted hair but also showered us with unsolicited advice, suggesting we switch to lasering (yes, we get it). By the end, our bikini line was smooth and tidy, but the hard sell and exorbitant price tag made us feel like a sap.
Capelli D'Oro 5th Ave Salon
Theresa Naperkowski
123 Fifth Ave.
"So, you haven't had a wax in a while," Naperkowski said matter-of-factly as we lay down on the table. We muttered something between an excuse and an apology ("No, sorry, crazy schedule") and steeled ourself for the worst. But what Naperkowski lacks in subtlety she makes up for in speed. Using a natural honey wax, the former J Sisters pro zipped through the service, waxing so thoroughly that there wasn't a single stray or a need for tweezers. Such attention to detail did involve some pain—there's no way around it—but before we knew it, she was sprinkling powder over our impeccable bikini line. We left with minimal redness and promised to return again soon.
Monique Romatowska
150 Mercer St.
With its sparse treatment rooms and cramped changing area, there's nothing fancy about this serviceable downtown spa. But Romatowska is something of a diamond in the rough. She applied generous amounts of thick, blue hard wax and efficiently ripped away piece after piece. When she noticed us tense up, she paused and instructed us to breathe deeply, which actually did help us relax. Next, she dipped into a gentle soft formula for our more sensitive spots. We were so pleased with the smooth results and Romatowska's sweet demeanor that we booked a second appointment for the following month
Heads & Tails Beauty Boutique
Pamela Alemhoca
265 S. 19th St.
This salon only offers blowouts and waxing, hence the bizarre name. We booked a Brazilian wax and felt a little nervous despite the tranquil, lavender-scented treatment room. We needn't have worried. Instead of ripping everything off with a few forceful yanks, Alemhoca applied dollops of wax and worked on one small section at a time. Her fastidiousness minimized the sting, and we soon became comfortable. Alemhoca won't set any speed records (we were on the table for 30 minutes), but she is a rare waxer who takes the "pain" out of painstaking.
Violet Salon and Spa
Kari Ellen Slansky
1513 Wisconsin Ave.
Slansky made quick work of the peach fuzz on our lip and cheeks before switching gears, carefully painting on narrow lines of honey-based wax beneath our brows. She was so meticulous about removing every errant hair that the process dragged on, and we nervously reminded her that we only wanted a simple grooming, not a drastic pruning. "It feels worse than it is," she said and continued working. When she finally handed us a mirror, we had to gather our courage before taking a look. What we saw was an almost imperceptible change that somehow made our eyes look bigger.
European Wax Center
Andrea Collins
1212 S. Dixie Hwy.
Bee Waxed Beauty Studio
Sandy Sarafa
4120 W. Maple Rd.
Bloomfield Hills, MI
The Waxing Room
Cheryl Ann Gutierrez
3115 N. Halsted St.

No. 1 Women's Squash Sweeps Brown, Moves Closer To Ivy Championship
The Princeton women's squash team moved one step closer to the 2013 Ivy League championship Sunday with a 9-0 sweep of Brown. The Tigers won 27 of the 28 individual games and can clinch the outright title next weekend with wins at Cornell (Friday) and against Columbia (Sunday) at the Jadwin Squash Courts.
One day after battling back for a 5-4 road win at the fifth-ranked Yale Bulldogs, the top-ranked Tigers were in full control against the Bears. Playing a two-shift format, Princeton swept all four even matches and didn't drop a game in any. Junior Libby Eyre lost only nine points in her win at the No. 2 spot, while classmate Lexi Saunders lost only 11 at the sixth spot.
The second shift had a few closer games, but the match drama was taken care of quickly. Four players won by 3-0 scores, including senior Julie Cerullo, who dropped only 12 points in her win at the top spot. Cerullo is one match from clinching a share of the first Ivy League title in her career, and two wins from earning the outright title.
Sophomore Hallie Dewey was tested at the No. 9 spot, where she dropped the second game and won a pair of hard-fought 11-7 ones to close the match. Sophomore Nicole Bunyan was pushed in both her first and third games at the No. 3 spot; she went deep into extra play before closing the match 16-14 in the third.
Princeton will look to clinch a share of the title Friday at 5:30 against the sixth-ranked Cornell Big Red; with a win, the Tigers would earn the outright title with a victory Sunday at noon when the Columbia Lions head to the Jadwin Squash Courts.
Perhaps the match with the greatest national significance will be the one without any Ivy League implications. Princeton will make the trip from Ithaca to Hartford for a Saturday afternoon match at No. 4 Trinity; the Bantams' only loss of the season so far was a 6-3 loss at Penn. If Princeton sweeps all three matches next weekend, it will clinch the outright Ivy title and the top seed at the 2013 Howe Cup Championships, held Feb. 15-17 in New Haven.

Palm Coast motorcyclist dies in crash
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 9:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 10:53 p.m.
PALM COAST — A 20-year-old Palm Coast man was killed early Tuesday when he lost control of his motorcycle on a sharp curve on Pacific Drive and struck a mailbox.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Codie Ray Barlow, 24, Pebble Beach Drive, died at the scene of the 3:30 a.m. crash. His body wasn't discovered until four hours later when a neighbor went out to pick up her newspaper and check on the damaged mailbox.
Barlow was traveling north on Pacific Drive on a racing-style motorcycle when he failed to negotiate a curve, drove onto the east shoulder and struck a mailbox in front of 57 Pacific Drive, according to the FHP.
A neighbor heard the crash and saw the damaged mailbox when she looked out but didn't find Barlow's body in the yard at 59 Pacific Drive until 7:30 a.m.
Barlow was not wearing a helmet, the FHP reported, and speed was a factor in the wreck.
