My boyfriend has been smoking cigarettes since he was in high school; he is now 31. When we started dating, I was a non-smoker but I recently picked up on his habit. I've been suggesting that we both quit for some time now, but it wasn't until this New Year's Eve that he felt ready and determined to kick the habit.

If you woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather, know that you're not alone: All around the world, revelers are rising with a pounding headache, waves of nausea, and, after a night of wearing some serious beer goggles, 20/20 vision that's clear as day. Hangovers may be a universal experience, but each culture boasts its own cures, from simple solutions to seemingly bizarre behaviors. Can you match the cure to the country?

It happens to all of us at some time or another but maybe to more of us on New Year's Eve. We drink too much and then we pay for it the next day. Are you hung up by your hangover?

Your focus might be on the ball dropping tonight (and the kiss that follows), but don't forget to pay attention to the bright 2009 sign lighting up Times Square after midnight strikes. That not-so-subtle reminder of another year gone by is extra special this year, because the energy used to power the numerical sign is derived from people!
In a stroke of green (marketing) genius, Duracell invited New York natives and visitors to ride stationary bikes rigged to electric generators.
