Finally, and for many of us irresistibly, there's the irrational way we react to risky behavior that also confers some benefit. It would be a lot easier to acknowledge the perils of smoking cigarettes or eating too much ice cream if they weren't such pleasures. Drinking too much confers certain benefits too, as do risky sex, recreational drugs and uncounted other indulgences. This is especially true since, in most cases, the gratification is immediate and the penalty, if it comes at all, comes later. With enough time and enough temptation, we can talk ourselves into ignoring almost...
...Lucas (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, sesame, shellfish, fish, barley). "The choices of things we've done as a family are severely limited," Pasternak says. "We only went to food-free places when he was a toddler. No Chuck E. Cheese. When I see an ice cream truck I have to walk the other way because he's contact-sensitive. I thought I was going to be the cool mom and travel to Europe with my baby and take him to Fenway Park. But even at minor league games, everyone's throwing peanuts at each other." One saving grace...
...Public understanding of autism research suffers from two perennial complications: correlational studies and press releases. The report cited in your story is the latest example of both these foibles.

The long list of supposed causes of or treatments for autism touted in press releases has given parents false hope or, worse, false guilt. Hasty pronouncements only damage autism science and the public's trust in it. Matthew Belmonte Department of Human Development Cornell University...
...results often occur in helter-skelter one-day cricket, and even in a five-day Test the inferior side sometimes wins. But excluding weather interruptions, Ashes series are played over 25 six-hour days, long enough for class to tell and the cream to rise. It was apparent from the first morning of the First Test last year that England would be formidable. Australia had ample time to adjust their attitude, to crank up the intensity of their practices, to tinker with tactics and personnel. They did all of this and still lost...
...obscuring the delicate flavor of its namesake ingredient. My only critique is that the crust was a bit tough, a flaw that I was willing to overlook by virtue of its golden butteriness. My friend had a latte and a Whoopie cake: the classic chocolate cupcake filled with vanilla cream. I snuck a taste of the chocolate ganache frosting when he wasn’t looking and just about melted with joy. When I went back on Saturday afternoon to speak to Clark, the store was quieter, although I did spot a Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies...
