When it comes to vicious cycles, chapped lips are the worst. Lick 'em, pick 'em, slather 'em with pricey balms...no matter what we do, they seem stuck in crocodile mode all winter 'round.

During Operation Opson (opson translates to "food" in ancient Greek , authorities confiscated more than 13,000 bottles of substandard olive oil, 30 tons of fake tomato sauce, about 77,000 kg. of counterfeit cheese, more than 12,000 bottles of substandard wine, five tons of substandard fish and seafood, nearly 30,000 counterfeit candy bars and investigated fake/substandard caviar being sold via the Internet.
The one-week effort (from November 28 to December 4 involved police, customs agents, regulatory and food-industry officials in airports, seaports, shops and flea markets in Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
At the time, Simone Di Meo, Criminal Intelligence Officer with Interpol's Intellectual Property Rights program and coordinator for Operation Opson,
said in a news release that counterfeit food is a threat most people are not even aware of, so "one of the main goals of this operation was to protect the public from potentially dangerous fake and substandard food and drinks."
This week in Brussels, food control authorities, police forces, judicial officials and other stakeholders from across the European Union met again to develop strategies for combating food-related crime -- to understand the nature of food counterfeit schemes, to improve detection of these illegal practices and to raise public awareness of the problem to prompt vigilance when shopping.
The conference, held Monday and Tuesday, was part of the EU's Better Training for Safer Food program.
Consumers buying counterfeit goods, either knowingly or unknowingly according to European authorities, put their health at risk because fraudulent foods and beverages are not subject to any manufacturing quality controls and are often transported or stored without regard to safe food-handling standards.
The problem of counterfeit and substandard products is also a concern in the United States, most visible with fake pharmaceuticals, but also with food items. Cheaper types of fish have been passed off as more expensive, such as tilapia being marketed as red snapper or farm-raised salmon being labeled as wild-caught.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, olive oil is one of the most frequently counterfeited food products -- it is sometimes sold as "extra virgin" when it is actually mostly soybean oil. Honey, maple syrup and vanilla counterfeits have also plagued the U.S. market.

One of the characters involved in the Ryan Braun urine sample debacle wants to remind the world that he is a person.
Dino Laurenzi, Jr., the collector tasked with getting
Braun's fateful urine sample from Miller Park to FedEx for delivery to a testing facility in Montreal, released a statement through his attorney Tuesday defending himself from any wrongdoing.
[Related:

From ESPN Wisconsin (yes, it exists! ,
here's Laurenzi's plea:
"This situation has caused great emotional distress for me and my family. I have worked hard my entire life, have performed my job duties with integrity and professionalism, and have done so with respect to this matter and all other collections in which I have participated."
Based on his account, if it's true, you can see why Laurenzi is upset:
"I completed my collections at Miller Park at approximately 5:00 p.m. Given the lateness of the hour that I completed my collections, there was no FedEx office located within 50 miles of Miller Park that would ship packages that day or Sunday.
"Therefore, the earliest that the specimens could be shipped was Monday, October 3. In that circumstance, CDT has instructed collectors since I began in 2005 that they should safeguard the samples in their homes until FedEx is able to immediately ship the sample to the laboratory, rather than having the samples sit for one day or more at a local FedEx office. The protocol has been in place since 2005 when I started with CDT and there have been other occasions when I have had to store samples in my home for at least one day, all without incident."
Given the nature of arbitrator Shyam Das' ruling, that last part might be used against MLB by another player who tested positive, if he can show that Laurenzi was his courier, as well. Laurenzi might have followed his company's own protocol — taking the wee-wee all of the way home — but it still conflicts with the rules Major League Baseball and the players association put in place.
Assuming he is telling the truth, and there's no reason not to, that means Laurenzi has gotten a lot of grief for doing his job the best anyone could.

Sprout Safety Alliance (SSA .
The SSA, a public-private organization, will develop outreach programs and training for the sprout industry to prepare growers for upcoming sprout safety regulatory requirements. Sprout-growing operations are subject to unique safety precautions, such as testing spent irrigation water and seed disinfection.
The organization plans to develop safety training materials for sprout growers, provide tools to allow growers to conduct self-audits of their facilities, and ensure that growers understand the inherent risks associated with sprouts, which have been linked to at least
44 foodborne illness outbreaks in North America since 1990. The SSA will also serve as a hub for sprout industry resources by providing technical assistance to growers and networking them with buyers, retailers and regulatory agencies.
The FDA's announcement comes within months of three prominent sandwich restaurant chains choosing to remove sprouts from their menus due to a mounting number of foodborne illness outbreaks linked to the food.
Most recently, Jimmy John's decided to stop serving sprouts after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on February 15 that the restaurant's sprouts were linked to an E. coli O26 outbreak that has sickened 14 people in six states. It was the fifth outbreak tied to Jimmy John's sprouts in four years.
Earlier this year, Jason's Deli and Erbert & Gerbert's restaurants also dropped sprouts, each citing food safety concerns. Back in October 2010, Walmart stopped selling sprouts in its stores. The warm, wet environments needed to grow sprouts are also conducive to bacterial growth, making sprouts especially susceptible to carrying pathogens.
The IFSH, part of the Illinois Institute of Technology, is an applied research institute that focuses on designing practical approaches to challenges in the food industry.
Vincent Moellering heard a rumor in April 2009 that a local pharmacy was selling the powerful and addictive painkiller oxycodone by the pill for cash. So Moellering, an investigator for Cardinal Health, one of the nation’s largest distributors of pharmaceuticals, visited Gulf Coast Medical Pharmacy in Fort Myers, Fla.
Over the next two years, Moellering and other Cardinal employees visited that pharmacy at least four more times. Each time, they noted disturbing signs: Customers paid cash, oxycodone was the No. 1 seller, and young people came in groups to have their prescriptions filled.
On Oct. 5, 2010, Moellering’s fourth visit, pharmacy owner Jeffrey Green told him he wanted more oxycodone. The store had dispensed 462,776 pills over two months — nearly seven times what the average pharmacy dispenses in a year. Convinced something was off, Moellering asked Cardinal’s permission to contact the Drug Enforcement Administration, according to documents filed in federal court.
The DEA says the call never came. Cardinal would not make Moellering available for comment and declined to explain why he never made the call. Cardinal granted Green’s request for more oxycodone but stopped serving the pharmacy a year later.
This month, the DEA accused Cardinal Health, a Fortune 500 company with $103 billion in revenue, of endangering the public by selling excessive amounts of oxycodone to four Florida pharmacies. The charges came in an immediate suspension order served Feb. 3 when the agency suspended Cardinal’s license to distribute controlled substances from its Lakeland, Fla., hub, which serves four states.
