TIDBITS® TAKES YOU TO SEE
DOCTORS, REAL & FICTIONAL by Kathy Wolfe
For real-life ailments and for an amusing look at vintage TV and literature, this week, Tidbits takes you to the doctor. • In 1901, a German family named Deter brought their 51-year-old female relative to see Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a psychiatrist and neuropathologist. Mrs. Deter was experiencing short-term memory loss and difficulty speaking and understanding speech. Dr. Alzheimer had never before seen such strange symptoms and worked closely with his patient for the next five years until her death. Convincing her family to donate her brain to his laboratory, he noted considerable shrinkage in the outer layer of her brain, and through the use of staining techniques, he identified dead and dying brain cells, plaque deposits, and tangles inside the tissue. His research appeared in medical journals in 1907, and the disease was tagged Alzheimer’s Disease in 1910. This debilitating condition is now the seventh-leading cause of death, with a new case every 70 seconds. • Fortunately for many children of the 1950s, Dr. Jonas Salk changed his mind about becoming a lawyer, transferring to medical school. Dr. Salk worked for eight years to develop a polio vaccine, testing it first on monkeys, before revealing it in April of 1955. Touted as a miracle worker, he refused to obtain a patent on his vaccine, and had no personal financial gain from his work, believing that the entire world should benefit from it. In 1955, when the vaccine was introduced, the average number of polio cases in the U.S. was 45,000. Within seven years, that number had dropped to 910. At the time of his death in 1995 at the age of 80, Dr. Salk was hard at work on a vaccine against AIDS. • Although we think of Frankenstein as the monster of the horror films of the 1930s, Dr. Frankenstein was actually the creator of the monster. He was a scientist who experimented with piecing together assorted parts of human corpses... continued on page 3!

s
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There could be an unexpected change in plans for your upcoming holiday travels. But keep in mind that a little flexibility goes a long way in resolving any disappointments. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new relationship might not be responding quite as quickly as you’d hoped. Could you be expecting too much too soon? Try to ease up and let things happen at their own pace. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) As we approach the frenetic pace of pre-holiday planning, take time out now to reconnect with the wonderful people who share your life, especially the one who also shares your dreams. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family member’s actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It’s like having an early holiday gift, isn’t it? SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the “wisdom thing,” you do it so well. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning -- including travel arrangements -- without burning out on either end. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those still-outstanding decisions so that you can finally move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You usually don’t carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you’re justified in doing so. But aren’t you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of using your quiet strength to persuade people to follow their better instincts and do the right thing.

Stores have to decide far in advance what items they’ll push for the holidays. Given the economy and the belt tightening that shoppers have been doing all year, retailers aren’t going to take many chances with the holiday merchandise they’ll offer. They already know that consumer wallets will be closed more than they’re open, so they need to cash in on what buyers appear to want. This year think “traditional” and “comfort.” Expect few fad items to grace the shelves. Decorations will tend to be the classics we grew up with: regular green Christmas trees with decorations in standard colors of gold and red. Look for toys with good play value. Watch for hands-on, do-ityourself items like crafts, kits and building sets. Look for kitchen items that make it easier to cook (and eat) at home. Keep an eye out for warm comforters (because the thermostat is notched down a bit more this year) and one-person size quilts (so you’ll stay warm watching television because you’re not going out to movies as often).
You’ll have luck finding electronics at good prices. Again, consumers are staying home more, and retailers want to cash in on the desire for at-home entertainment. They’re hoping buyers will spring for computers that have Windows 7 and maybe even modestly priced big-screen televisions. Look for accessories to update an existing wardrobe. (If you buy clothing, look for items that will last through many seasons. The hot color this year is purple. Can you live with that for three years?) Certain brand-name jeans likely will be on sale -- a back-to-basics move. Before you shop, plan your spending. Stick to cash where possible (or at least have a plan to pay off credit cards within three months.) Decide on must-have gifts, but leave yourself some leeway for surprise bargains that you discover. Compare pricing between stores and online companies. Many online chains will have coupon codes for discounts if you buy online, but most will have quick expiration dates. Shop discount stores where you can, but beware the quality of the merchandise. Look for new items in charity shops. Hint: After your first day of holiday shopping, review your purchases and ask yourself if you really need to go out and buy more.

• The doctor met his end in the Arctic Circle near the North Pole, where he had fled in pursuit of the monster with the objective of destroying him. The creation of a 19-yearold author, Mary Shelley, the book was first published in 1818. In the novel, Frankenstein was not a doctor, and the monster was never given a name. • You might not recognize the name of noted American archaeologist Dr. Henry Jones, Jr., a professor at Connecticut’s fictional Marshall College. That’s because he is better known as “Indiana” Jones, of Raiders of the Lost Ark fame. Based on a concept of filmmaker George Lucas, the character was designed by comic book artist Jim Steranko, wearing his signature fedora and leather jacket. Although we can’t imagine anyone but Harrison Ford in the role, it was originally offered to Tom Selleck. However, CBS refused to release Selleck from his Magnum, P.I. television series duties, and the part was given to Ford just three weeks before filming began. • Giving medical attention to a badly broken leg resulted in a prison life sentence for 31-yearold Dr. Samuel Mudd. In the wee hours of April 15, 1865, the young doctor set the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth, who had assassinated President Abraham Lincoln just hours before. A debate began over whether Mudd knew Booth and was part of the conspiracy, something Mudd vehemently denied. He later admitted that he had in fact known Booth. Two years into Mudd’s stay at a military prison located on an island in the Gulf of Mexico, a yellow fever epidemic broke out. After the fever claimed the life of the prison doctor, Mudd volunteered to take his place. His labors resulted in a petition to President Andrew Johnson, signed by 300 fellow inmates heralding the doctor’s bravery. Johnson’s pardon released Mudd in 1869. His medical practice was reestablished and this father of nine children worked until his death at age 49. • Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson was portraying the battle between good and evil in a person’s nature when he penned The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1886. When Dr. Henry Jekyll ingested a potion he had concocted, he changed into Edward Hyde, the cruel and evil part of Jekyll’s personality. The story has become so well known, it merits a dictionary entry, which defines a “Jekyll

• On Dec. 4, 1872, the Mary Celeste, an American vessel, is spotted sailing erratically but at full sail near the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship was seaworthy, its stores and supplies were untouched, but not a soul was onboard. The reason for the abandonment of the Mary Celeste has never been determined. • On Dec. 6, 1907, in West Virginia’s Marion County, an explosion in a network of mines owned by the Fairmont Coal Company kills 361 coal miners. It was the worst mining disaster in American history. Nationwide, a total of 3,242 Americans were killed in mine accidents in 1907. • On Dec. 1, 1913, the Ford Motor Company introduces the continuous moving assembly line. Ford’s new assembly line could produce a complete car every twoand-a-half minutes, allowing the company to sell cars for less than any competitor. • On Dec. 3, 1947, Marlon Brando’s famous cry of “STELLA!” first booms across a Broadway stage, electrifying the audience during the first-ever performance of Tennessee Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire.” When the curtain went down on opening night, the crowd erupted into a round of applause that lasted 30 minutes. • On Nov. 30, 1954, the first known modern instance of a meteorite striking a human being occurs at Sylacauga, Ala., when a meteorite weighing 8.5 pounds crashes through the roof of a house and into a living room, bounces off a radio and strikes a woman on the hip. • On Dec. 5, 1964, the first Medal of Honor awarded to a U.S. serviceman for action in Vietnam is presented to Capt. Roger Donlon of Saugerties, N.Y., for his heroic action earlier in the year. During an attack on July 6, 1964, Donlon was wounded four times, but kept fighting, refusing medical attention. • On Dec. 2, 1975, Ohio State University running back Archie Griffin becomes the first player in history to win the Heisman Trophy two years in a row. In the 1976 NFL Draft, he was the first-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sticking To A Holiday Budget Without Being A Grinch (NAPS)—You may already be feeling it— that perennial “urge to splurge” that strikes just as the holiday catalogs hit mailboxes and in-store Santas appear. This year, though, that urge will be sorely tested: On the one hand, 65 percent of consumers say the economy will affect their holiday plans, according to a recent survey by the National Retail Federation, with 84 percent of them planning to spend less.
inventories by an average of 10 percent from 2008, according to recent Standard & Poor information. Plan Ahead: Drafting a list of who you’re shopping for will keep you focused and on budget. Using the Internet to research gift ideas and compare costs is a great way to prepare before hitting the stores. And when you head out to shop, have your list handy so you stay on track. The Mighty Widget: Some of the best deals can be unearthed without waiting for a discount e-mail to arrive in your inbox. By placing one of these store icons on your computer desktop or embedding it on your personalized home page—widgets are downloadable from many retailers’ Web sites—one click gives you access to all the specials.
On the other hand, who wants to disappoint those on your holiday list? While it’s unrealistic to cut spending completely, the gloomy forecast simply means you need to shop smarter. Here are several ways to approach this holiday season without Consider Gift Cards: Gift cards can be an burning up your bank account: ideal, stress-free solution to getting that Think Like a Retailer: Stores are hoping to perfect gift that recipients really want, avoid a repeat of last year’s holiday fire-sale and because you set the value upfront, prices, and the National Retail Federation they also help keep you from going over anticipates that “many sales may only be budget.

WEEKLY FUNNIES
A preacher, who shall we say was “humor impaired,” attended a conference to help encourage and better equip pastors for their ministry. Among the speakers were many well known and dynamic speakers. One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd’s attention, said, “The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn’t my wife!” The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, “And that woman was my mother!” - The crowd burst into laughter and delivered the rest of his talk, which went over quite well. The next week, the pastor decided he’d give this humor thing a try, and use that joke in his sermon. As he surely approached the pulpit that sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It suddenly seemed a bit foggy to him. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, “The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another woman that was not my wife!” The congregation inhaled half the air in the room. After standing there for almost 10 seconds in the stunned silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, “... and I can’t remember who she was!” Signs Found in Kitchens • A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious. • No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes. • A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house. • A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
• Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator. • Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. • Help keep the kitchen clean - eat out. • A clean house is a sign of a misspent life. • Housework done properly can kill you. • Countless number of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives. • My next house will have no kitchen — just vending machines. “Oh, no!” he gasped as he surveyed the disaster before him. Never in his 40 years of life had he seen anything like it. How anyone could have survived he did not know. He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he would find his 16-year-old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept him from turning and fleeing the scene. He took a deep breath and proceeded. Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn across his path. He moved ahead slowly. “Danny! Danny!” he whispered to himself. He tripped and almost fell several times. He heard someone, or something, move. At least he thought he did. Perhaps, he was just hoping he did. He shook his head and felt his gut tighten. He couldn’t understand how this could have happened. In desperation, he took another step then cried out, “Danny!” From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son. “Yes, Dad,” he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard. “It’s time to get up and get ready for school,” the man sighed, “And for heaven’s sake, clean up this room!” A Sunday school teacher was teaching kids about doing good things always and never to do things one will be ashamed of. To make her point she told the kids never to do anything in private that they would not want anyone to see them do in public.“Yippee!” cried little Johnny from the back of the class, “No more bathing!” A bum asks a man for $2. The man asked, “Will you buy booze?” The bum said, “No.” The man asked, “Will you gamble it away?” The bum said, “No.” Then the man asked, “Will you come home with me so my wife can see what happens to a man who doesn’t drink or gamble?”

By Samantha Weaver • It was Serbian electrical engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla who made the following sage observation: “One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” • You may be surprised to learn that in 1980, the mayor of Detroit gave the key to the city to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. • If you’re planning a trip to Minnesota anytime soon, you might want to stop in the town of Pipestone to see its claim to roadside-attraction fame: a 30-foot-long peace pipe. • If you think postage rates are getting high now, consider this: To send mail by Pony Express originally cost $5 per ounce -and that was when a dollar was worth a whole lot more than it is today. • The World Health Organization does not include cockroaches on its list of insects hazardous to human health. • It was in 2006 at a Christian youth conference in Atlanta that the world’s largest recorded pillow fight took place, with some 10,000 teenagers taking part in the festivities. • American author Ken Kesey is best known for his novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which is set in a veterans’ hospital. He got the inspiration for the novel from work he did with patients while working the night shift at Menlo Park Veterans Hospital -- a job from which he was later fired. • If you’re ever vacationing in Denmark’s capital city, you might want to keep in mind this unusual statute: It is against the law in Copenhagen for an unmarried couple wearing bathing suits to kiss on the beach.

Thought for the Day: ““I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” -- Mitch Hedbergr
