Three months ago, Cindy Colvin could barely walk. Shopping sprees to feed her "first addiction, retail" were out of the question, as were the essentials - getting groceries, tending to household chores and making it into work. "I didn't know how to walk anymore," said Colvin, 55. "I wasn't walking like a normal person. Just to take a step, every single step, was agony. " With knees so swollen she "couldn't remember normal" and a constant throbbing throughout both legs, the Avondale, Pa., resident drove an hour and a half to Baltimore to see OrthoMaryland's Dr. Barry Waldman, who promised a new life made possible by 3D printing.

With courage and determination and more than a little bit of moxie, Adelle Waldman set out to crack the code. For her debut novel, a modern-day comedy of manners called "The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P," the Baltimore-raised author decided to explore - and expose - the thinking of the kind of guy that she and her friends used to date. Nate is a rising star on the New York literary scene, fueled by insecurity and arrogance. He's a serial dater who justifies dumping his girlfriend a few days after she'd had an abortion by reassuring himself "that he was not the kind of guy who disappeared after sleeping with a woman - and certainly not after the condom broke.

Last night's New York Yankees-Texas Rangers game on Channel 2 probably seemed like just another ho-hum midsummer night's baseball game, until you heard that voice that seemed a pitch higher than you're used to hearing during a baseball game.The game may not have been extraordinary, but the presence of that voice, belonging to Suzyn Waldman, was quite out of the ordinary -- Waldman became the first woman to call a Major League Baseball contest for a broadcast network.The placement of Waldman, a veteran sports reporter for New York's WFAN-AM, is just the latest step in a welcome development, the continuing, but ever so slow advancement of women in sports broadcasting.

Arthritis affects almost 80 percent of Americans. And those affected are getting younger, according to Dr. Barry Waldman of OrthoMaryland and director of the Center for Joint Preservation and Replacement at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics at Sinai Hospital. "We don't really know why, but we're seeing an epidemic of patients with wearing out of joints in their 40s and even late 30s." But the good news, Waldman says, is that diet and exercise are the best ways to treat the disease.

Author Ayelet Waldman has struck a chord with the stay-at-home-mom set. Her bright, funny mysteries weave the woes and wonders of being an at-home mom with the thrills of crime solving. In her Mommy-Track mystery series, Juliet Applebaum, like Waldman herself, is a Harvard Law School graduate and a former Los Angeles public defender who left her job to spend all of her time with her kids. Clad in food-stained sweat shirts and carrying a diaper bag, Juliet solves the murders of such folks as the principal at the most-sought-after preschool in Hollywood and the personal trainer who was going to help her shed those pregnancy pounds.

When Jacqueline Waldman was a young girl living in a cold-water flat in Romania, she made up a "fairy tale" in which her father would one day beat the forces of evil to reclaim his seaside villa, confiscated by Fascists in 1940 because he was a Jew. Yesterday, she said she can hardly believe her fairy tale has come true: Sixty years later, the house her father lost will soon be hers. Although her father has been dead for decades, Waldman, now a U.S. citizen living in Baltimore County, led a one-woman crusade to persuade the Romanian government to give her the ornate Italian villa her father built on the Black Sea in 1938.

When Jacqueline Waldman arrived in a Romanian town on the Black Sea four years ago, she had no trouble locating the ornate Italian villa her father built in 1938. The Baltimore County woman discovered no other building in the seaport like her Jewish father's Venetian-style home, which was confiscated by Romania's Nazi-aligned government, and later the communists, more than half a century ago. Now she wants it back. But Waldman's attempts to reclaim the villa, used as a vacation home for soldiers, have been unsuccessful, despite rulings in her favor by three Romanian courts.
