The Most Relevant Man in Sports Is there any drama in sports bigger than the one between Major League Baseball and Pete Rose? The answer to that question depends on how you define drama, granted. And a lot of football fans will point to the equanimity amongst division rivals as a good example of drama. I disagree. Football has been figured out. Get an offensive line that can protect your quarterback so he can hang in there for a few years and learn the supposed offensive scheme that is, invariably, drive the ball downfield relying on tried and true methods — mainly penalties and bad calls on third down in your favor — before chucking it up into the corner of the end zone for your tallest wide receiver. That's the NFL in a nutshell, and that's why every team seemingly has a shot these days. You pencil in New England for Super Bowl champs, and you give every team with a franchise quarterback a fighting chance. And that's all well and good. Boxing is still struggling to find a champion

worthy of our attention (Tyson Fury got our attention but for all the wrong reasons, and if you don't know who Fury is ... well, guess he didn't get your attention) and as intriguing as the UFC may be now that Dana White has figured out how to market champions, it may behoove the sport to occasionally showcase fights that last longer than the lifespan of a mayfly. But baseball, bless the boys of summer. They know how to keep sports fans riveted. One only needs to take in the spectacle that is Pete Rose to understand. For the uninitiated, Pete was an all-star baseball player (17 times!) who hit a ball with a stick more times than any player in history. But Pete bet on baseball, and he was kicked out of the game in the past century. For some reason, that means people get to talk about him more than any other baseball player in history. And I'm not sure we really understand why it matters. Baseball's commissioner, Rob Manfred, is a guy most people never heard of until he uttered a few words

about Rose a few weeks ago. Rose, said Manfred, was still banned from the game. Media outlets pounced on the story, saying that his decision meant Rose would be ineligible to appear on the Baseball Hall of Fame's ballot. "Mr. Rose's public and private comments, including his initial admission in 2004, provide me with little confidence that he has a mature understanding of his wrongful conduct, that he has accepted full responsibility for it, or that he understands the damage he has caused," Manfred said. Manfred went on to say that Rose let slip during an interview with his office that he still bet on baseball. The guy's nickname was "Charlie Hustle." He can't hustle his way into a dugout. But hey, the joke is on baseball. Who talks about Hall of Famers? When was the last time, say, Willie Stargell, Frank Robinson or Sandy Koufax popped up in conversation? Rose can't stay out of the news. That's gotta help the value of his signature, I'm guessing. Either way, whatever baseball thinks it's doing by banning the guy, whatever moral message it thinks it's sending ... maybe it should just help the guy admit he was wrong, get him to agree to stop betting on the game and give each other a big hug.

NARAS Hall of Fame. Keep or sell? Since so many copies were sold, I suggest you sell it. Your recording is probably valued in the $5-$10 range. *** Q: I have inherited a Flow Blue pitcher, eightsided and featuring an Oriental scene. It is ironstone and is about 5 inches all. Do you have any idea of its value? — Barbara, Casper, Wyoming A: According to several collectors I have consulted, Flow Blue pieces are worth less than they were just a few years ago. For example, a Flow Blue platter that might have sold for $450 a decade or two ago now might bring only about $250. With that in mind, I would think your pitcher would be valued in the $95 to $150 range. *** Q: In a thrift shop, I found a Hallmark Christmas ornament, "Portrait of Scarlett." I paid $5 for it, but think it is probably worth much more. — Kathy, Pottsville, Pennsylvania A: Your ornament was issued in 2001 as part of Hallmark's "Gone With the Wind" series. It is worth about $30. ***
Q: I have a copy of "Army Hymns Written for the First Regiment, New England Cavalry" by Chaplain Friederich Denison. It is a small, pocket-size book and was originally published in 1861 in Providence, Rhode Island. I wonder if it is valuable. — Jonathan, Walla Walla, Washington A: I found your book referenced in "Warman's Civil War Collectibles: Identification and Price Guide" by John Graf and published by Krause Books. According to Graf, your hymnal is worth about $85. As with most collectibles, condition is extremely important. If a cover or pages are missing, that value might be less than half. *** Q I have a 78-rpm copy of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Decca 18429. I have been offered $25 for it. Keep or sell? — Stan, Midvale, Utah A: "White Christmas" was first issued by Decca in October 1942. An estimated 100 million copies of the song sold in some 350 versions. Simply put, is remains one of the most popular songs ever. Ironically, it was written by Irving Berlin while he soaked up the sun poolWrite to Larry Cox in side at the Biltmore in Phoenix.

RESOLVE TO GIVE BLOOD IN JANUARY FOR NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH This January, during National Blood Donor Month, the American Red Cross encourages people to roll up their sleeves to give blood to help maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients. Since 1970, National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January to not only honor blood and platelet donors, but also to help increase donations during the winter months. Maintaining a sufficient blood supply for patients is difficult at this time of year because extreme winter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout. Karla Essmiller became a blood donor in college, but the importance of giving blood hit
home when several family members had medical emergencies. “It only takes once sitting in a hospital, praying that your loved one will live through the day, to know how thankful you are for every single thing done to help them,” she said. “Donating blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three people live another day. That makes me feel like a hero.” The Red Cross encourages eligible donors to resolve to give blood regularly, beginning in January. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types AB, O, B negative and A negative. To make an appointment to donate blood,
download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming area blood donation opportunities are listed below.

driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete t heir pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and
learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Quick And Easy Comfort Foods The holidays are behind us and it's time for New Year's resolutions, which I don't make anymore. It takes me all of eight hours or less to break every one of them. Frankly, I'm ready for down-to-earth comfort foods while I hibernate for the winter months. It's the perfect time to clean closets, read, plan my summer garden and practice yoga, not necessarily in that order. In the winter months I love homemade soups simmering on the back burner as well as quick and easy recipes. Below are some of my best loved quick and easy menu ideas. Makes 12 servings.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Great Expectations Charles Dickens was one of the greatest writers of English literature. I love the title of his book “Great Expectations.” Do you have great expectations for the coming year? So many people have lost their hope. The apostle Peter tells us how to come into great expectations. First — YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. This is not some corny phrase. Listen to Peter, “All praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with GREAT EXPECTATIONS and have a priceless inheritance that is kept in heaven for you — pure and undefiled — beyond the reach of change and decay” (I Peter 1:3-5 NLT). Where did Peter learn about being born again? He learned it from Jesus. Nicodemus came to
Grace, Church attendance 3. From Matthew 1:20-21, who told Joseph (in a dream) the Baby's name was to be Jesus? Angel, Mary, Innkeeper, The Magi 4. Which book proclaims the first day of the new year is for resting and a memorial sounding the trumpet? Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 5. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the ... of God?
be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy” (I Peter 1:13-17). Great expectations of joy and growth in maturity and Christ-likeness will fill your life as you determine to live a life that pleases God. (I Peter 2:1-2; 4:1-5) It’s the blood of Christ that makes us holy. (I Peter 1:2) Third — YOU MUST BE TRANSFORMED. Great expectations will arise when your mind and soul is changed by the power of the eternal Word of God. (I Peter 2:2-3; Romans 12:1-2) Can people change? Absolutely! God’s living Word is a powerful change agent. God promises prosperity and success to those who will meditate day and night on God’s Word and observe to practice it. (Joshua 1:1-9) I came across this quote of Kenny Rogers on Facebook, “The 3 C’s in life — CHOICE, CHANCE, CHANGE. You must make the CHOICE to take a CHANCE if you want anything in life to CHANGE.” This New Year make the CHOICE to take the CHANCE for God to CHANGE and transform your life. Fourth — YOU MUST
BECOME A WORSHIPPER OF GOD. Believers become holy priests who offer up spiritual sacrifices of worship that please God. (I Peter 2:4-10) Worshippers can expect God to open heaven and fill them with His glory and light. He will protect and guide you as you live in His presence. Expect great intimacy with God this New Year. Fifth — YOU MUST BE BUSY FOR GOD. When you are busy with what’s on God’s heart you can expect God’s reward and blessing. “You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires but you will be anxious to do the will of God” (I Peter 4:2). Jesus said, “Occupy until I come” (Luke 19:13). When you invest in God’s kingdom you can expect a great reward at Christ’s return. Peter warns us to live in expectancy of the Lord’s soon return to this earth. (II Peter 3) I hope you will live this New Year with great expectations of good. Have you been born again? Do it today!

Jesus at night, in secret. He was a seeker of truth. Jesus told him, “Unless you are born again you cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3-16). Jesus was speaking of having a spiritual birth from above. Peter tells us that it is by God’s great mercy that we are born again. We did not choose Him, He chose us. “As a result you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ” (I Peter 1:1-2 NLT). When you are born again into God’s family, you no longer expect the wrath and judgment of God for your sin, but God’s grace and goodness. You have an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you. What great expectations! What good news! S e c on d — YO U MUST BE HOLY. Most New Year’s resolutions and vows are soon forgotten. When one is born again the Spirit of God makes you holy, set apart for God. (I Peter 1:2) “But now you must

Twenty-six days until the caucus and everyone's eyes are on Iowa! And it can't come too soon. Hillar y is calling Trump a sexist and Trump is responding by reminding everyone of Bill Clinton's lifetime of sexual encounters and Hillary condoning them. What a three-ring circus! All while ISIS leaders are pledging to take the West, building concentration camps, and destroying Christianity and anyone who doesn't go along with their butchery! So stepping back, is Bill Clinton fair game? In my opinion, the answer is yes! Any spouse of a politician is fair game, but kids are totally off limits! I'm certainly not comparing our lives to anyone else's, but as the wife of a former mayor, trust me, I was fair game. It goes along with the territory. In the new year, Obama has vowed to go after stronger gun control by bypassing Congress. So what's new! He has the power of his pen and phone — and his lawlessness has demonstrated that. Certainly we are a divided country on this issue. But I will say an unarmed country is a sitting target. I've been around guns my entire life. The difference is I had a parent that taught me to respect firearms. The
key words are family and rules! Criminals will be able to get guns, that's not going to change. A prime example is Chicago. They have the strictest gun laws in the country according to many media sources, and in 2015 their gun crimes are way up! Guns aren't the problem; the breakdown of the American family is the problem. So what's next? Ban the bomb, knives, cars and whatever can be used as a weapon? One of my favorite sayings is you can't fix stupid. You can't fix a problem unless you look at the real issue causing the problem. One of the new laws in the new year in Texas is reinforcing the Second Amendment. It's now legal to openly carry. The Second Amendment guarantees your right to own a firearm. Sixty percent of the American population now believes they need a gun to protect themselves. Studies show that when there's open carry, there's less crime. According to Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on Sunday, 49% of Americans are angry with the federal government under this administration, and 58% are women! However, I understand that. Single parents (mostly women) have suffered severely under Barack Obama.
Next week, new laws in Illinois. A final thought: Do we have a decent choice for President in this election? Let us know by going to www.facebook.com/ shoppers.weekly. In closing, in the words of a wise man: "You can not bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You can not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You can not help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You can not further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred .You can not help the poor by destroying the rich. You can not keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You can not build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You can not help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. — William J.H. Boetcker Very powerful words. Until next week.

• On Jan. 9, 1493, Christopher Columbus, sailing near the Dominican Republic, sees three "mermaids" -- in reality manatees -- and describes the mythical half-female, halffish creatures as "not half as beautiful as they are painted." • On Jan. 7, 1785, JeanPierre Blanchard and John Jeffries travel from England to France in a gas balloon, becoming the first to cross the English Channel by air. They nearly crashed as their balloon was weighed down by extraneous supplies such as silk-covered oars. • On Jan. 4, 1847, Samuel Colt rescues his faltering gun company by winning a contract to provide the U.S. government with 1,000 of his .44 caliber revolvers. The heart of Colt's invention was a mechanism that combined a single rifled barrel with a revolving chamber that held five or six shots. • On Jan. 8, 1867, Congress overrides President Andrew Johnson's veto of a bill granting all adult male citizens of the District of Columbia the right to vote. It was the first law in American history to grant black men the right to vote. • On Jan. 10, 1946, the first General Assembly of the United Nations convenes in London. Two weeks later it adopted its

first resolution, which called for the elimination of weapons of mass destruction. • On Jan. 5, 1957, in response to the increasingly tense situation in the Middle East, President Dwight Eisenhower delivers a proposal to Congress calling for a more proactive U. S . p o l i c y. T h e
"Eisenhower Doctrine" established the Middle East as a Cold War battlefield. • On Jan. 6, 1994, Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan is attacked at an ice rink two days before the Olympic trials. A man, hired by the ex-husband of s k at i ng r iv a l Tony a Harding, clubbed Kerrigan in the leg in an attempt to keep her out of the Olympics. Months later, Kerrigan won the silver medal, while Harding finished eighth. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc
• Generally, for every degree you lower your thermostat during heating season, you reduce your energy costs by 3 percent. • Want to include more produce in your diet? Sources say prep is the step that makes it work. Clean, chop, slice and otherwise prepare all your produce choices for the week on the day you shop. When it's
ready and waiting, you're less likely to skip it in favor of something more convenient (and likely less nutritious). • To save a pot of burning soup, remove from the burner and DO NOT stir. Pour the unburned contents into a new pot, while trying not to disturb the burned-on bottom of the pot. • Deodorize carpets with baking soda: Sprinkle liberally, and leave on overnight. Vacuum in the morning. Be sure carpet is dry before starting. • "On a health kick: Step one is to keep a food and activity diary for a week.

MANY HAPPY RETURNS TO SOCIAL SECURITY BY MS. LOWDER, SOCIAL SECURITY DISTRICT MANAGER IN MOUNT VERNON, IL
Everyone enjoys presents, but loved ones don’t always know exactly what you want. That sweater that your relative gave you might be a little too festive for your taste. Or someone got you an appliance you already own. That’s when those happy returns begin. With gift receipt in hand, you go to the store or online to exchange that item for one you really want. Now that the holidays are winding down, you’re also probably happy to return to your calmer routine. And part of that routine is planning for retirement. That’s where Social Security comes in. Your secure my Social Security account allows you to do a number of important things throughout the year, at your convenience: • Keep track of your earnings and verify them every year;

• Get an estimate of your future benefits if you are still working; • Get a letter with proof of your benefits if you currently receive them; and • Manage your benefits: – Change your address; – Start or change your direct deposit; – Get a replacement Medicare card; and – Get a replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S for tax season. Signing up for my Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount is quick, easy, and secure. We also have another invaluable tool at www. socialsecurity.gov that you can use over and over. The Retirement Estimator allows you to calculate your potential future Social Security benefits by changing variables such as retirement dates and future earnings. You may discover that you’d rather wait another year or two before you retire to earn a higher benefit. Or, you might learn that you are ready to retire now — which you also can do online and often in less than 15 minutes. To get instant, personalized estimates of your future benefits, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ estimator. It’s exciting to see the happy returns you’ll be getting when you retire, and returning to my Social Security on a regular basis will
ensure you get the right amount at the right time. Give yourself the gift of a secure future at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. No ugly sweaters here. *** Question: What is a Social Security Statement, and how can I get a copy? Answer: Your online Social Security Statement gives you secure and convenient access to your earnings records. It also shows estimates for retirement, disability, and survivors benefits you and your family may be eligible for. You can get your personal Statement online by using your own my Social Security account. If you don’t yet have an account, you can easily create one. To set up or use your account to get your online Statement, go to www.so cialsecurity.gov/myaccount. We also mail Statements to workers attaining ages 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 and older, three months prior to their birthday, if they don’t receive Social Security benefits and don’t have a my Social Security account. If you don’t want to wait for your Statement, you can access it online, whatever time of year you need it.
year of high school in the fall. He turns 19 in a few months. Do I need to fill out a form for his benefits to continue? Answer: Yes. You should receive a form, SSA-1372-BK, in the mail about three months before your son’s birthday. Your son needs to complete the form and take it to his school’s office for certification. Then, you need to return page two and the certified page three to Social Security for processing. If you can’t find the form we mailed to you, you can find it online at www.social security.gov/forms/ssa1372.pdf.
Question: My neighbor, who is retired, told me that the income he receives from his part-time job at the local nursery gives him an increase in his Social Security benefits. Is that right? Answer: Retirees who return to work after they start receiving benefits may be able to receive a higher benefit based on those earnings. This is because Social Security automatically re-computes the retirement benefit after crediting the additional earnings to the individual’s earnings record.

SIU SCIENCE PROFESSOR FOCUSES ON ENHANCING IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
Caring For You And About You Is Our Number One Priority!
BY TIM CROSBY
Photo by Russell Bailey
Lighting things up -- Boyd Goodson, center, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, works in his laboratory along with Drake Anthony, foreground, a senior in chemistry and mathematics; Max Gemeinhardt, left, a doctoral student in chemistry; and Kaili Ranta, doctoral student in physics.
If you want to see what’s going on inside the human body, you have two choices: Turn the lights on with stronger imaging machines, or make the stuff you want to see “brighter.” A researcher at Southern I l l i n o i s Un i v e r s i t y Carbondale is squarely in the latter camp with his work in the field of hyperpolarization, which holds great promise for vastly more powerful imaging technology. Such tech-
niques could make it possible for doctors to see not only what’s inside the body, such as bones and organs, but how the physiology is working at the molecular level. Boyd Goodson, professor of chemistry and biochemistry in the College of Science, has worked for years in the hyperpolarizat i o n f i e l d . Hyperpolarization refers to the many techniques available that will effectively
magnetize nuclei in the body’s molecules much more highly than if they are magnetized by just a powerful magnet, such as in a m a g n e t i c re s on an c e imaging machine, or MRI. When hyperpolarization is achieved, it effectively “lights up” the molecules, making them easier to image with currently available imaging technology. While hyperpolarization techniques exist, scientists and engineers continue working on ways to make them effective in today’s imaging machines. Overall, the effort seeks to make modern diagnostic imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging, much more sensitive. Goodson has led or been a team member in scores of efforts funded by prestigious scientific organizations including the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, among others. His current work is funded by the NIH, NSF and the U.S. Department of Defense. Working in a lab popu-
lated by students and hightech equipment at the James Neckers Building, Goodson paused to proudly point out a decidedly lowtech contraption that one of his students recently put together to efficiently and cheaply manufacture parahydrogen gas, which they use in hyperpolarization technique, while discussing his ongoing research. “Much of my work all kind of falls under molecular imaging, a phrase that makes it sound like you’re imaging molecules,” he said. “But to a doctor in the medical field, it means getting images from otherwise conventional radiology with information on the molecular level.

have differential uptake of that compound in cancerous tissue versus noncancerous tissue because cancer cells are ‘hungrier,’ and the metabolism is different,” Goodson said. Pairing PET technology with X-ray computed tomography or computerized axial tomography scans — CT or CAT scans — can show the actual location of such signals relative to the person’s body. Those technologies, alone or used together, can tell doctors much about a person’s condition. But to achieve what those working in hyperpolarization are after, it’s not good enough. “It comes down to sensitivity, that’s the biggest issue. Detection sensitivity,” Goodson said. Goodson explained that the body mostly is made up of molecules that contain multiple hydrogen atoms — essentially water and fats. For MRI, the signals that make images

come from the relatively weak magnetism of the atomic nuclei. “We are all made of atoms and the nuclei of those atoms all have magnetic properties we can exploit, but they’re very weak,” Goodson said. “Hydrogen nuclei are found in high concentrations in the body, which is the reason those machines can make such beautiful images. But if you want to image a gas in the lungs or a metabolite, and you want to image how it’s breaking down chemically from one form to another and how fast it’s doing that, and then compare it to different regions of the body, you’re going to need four to five orders of magnitude more detection sensitivity than what we currently have. That’s hard to do, and that’s where hyperpolarization comes in.” In successful hyperpolarization, for example, an MRI might be able to see organ function or study metabolism, including pathological metabolism. And unlike PET scan technology, doctors could do it without exposing patients
Wednesday, January 6, 2016 to ionizing radiation, so that scans could safely be repeated more often. Theoretically, health care workers could tune the polarization to look for specific pathologies with higher spatial resolution. Doctors possibly use such an approach to more quickly investigate how a patient is responding to a given treatment. Another advantage is because the hyperpolarization does not come from the magnet itself, the bulky, expensive and conf ining large magnets used in MRI would not be necessary. This could lead to imaging that is cheaper, faster and easier for patients. Goodson and his students are investigating ways to hyperpolarize different nuclei by exploiting their natural “spin” characteristics. The term “spin” derives its name from a magnetic property that the subatomic particles have, which in many ways resembles the behavior of a classically spinning object. The tiny particles typically possess this spin property in one of two directions, which scientists sometimes

term "spin up" or "spin down." Goodson said the spin makes the nuclei of certain atoms, including hydrogen, Carbon 13, Nitrogen 15 and Xenon 129 among others, act like tiny compasses or bar magnets when placed in a magnetic field, with the spins aligning either “up” with the magnet or “down” against it. Goodson and his students are experimenting with different techniques — using high-powered lasers and chemically based “spin transfer” phenomena involving parahydrogen — to hyperpolarize them, which essentially greatly magnifies this characteristic. “The problem is detecting any one spin is virtually impossible, so you need to detect them in bulk for an added-up response so that there is enough signal,” he said. Even in a very strong magnet, the numbers of ‘up’ and ‘down’ spins are nearly equal, so the bulk magnetic response is the nuclear spins almost perfectly cancel each other out. This means the “normal” signal in an MRI comes from the tiny residual magnetization of what’s left over. “So what hyperpolarization does is say, ‘I’m going to change that math. I’m going to take a bunch of those nuclear spins and arrange them to point up rather than pointing down, which should give us the sensitivity to give us the contrast we want.’” “It’s all about lighting it up,” he said.

6 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD'S PEDIATRICIAN Most parents bring their children to the doctor when they're sick, but now is a great opportunity to be proactive and schedule a wellness checkup. This allows you and your doctor to take a broader look at a child's overall health and well-being to ensure he or she is developing properly. "Wellness checkups provide more time for parents to ask questions," says St. George's University alum Dr. Susan Dulkerian, Chair of Pediatrics at Mercy Me dica l C enter in Baltimore. "Rather than waiting until your child is sick or an issue arises, a wellness checkup is an opportunity to take preventive measures, maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep your peace of mind." Dr. Dulkerian suggests that every parent should ask the following questions during a wellness checkup. Are my child's immunizations up to date? Work with your doctor to ensure your child is protected from disease. The
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides immunization recommendations and schedules for children, teens and adults. Is my child at a healthy weight for his or her height and age? Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years, according to the CDC. A wellness checkup provides the perfect opportunity to ask your doctor about BMI measurement and many other concerns. Your doctor will also be able to suggest prevention ideas and healthylifestyle habits for kids. How much sleep should my child get? Sleep is a fundamental element of anyone's health and is particularly important for kids whose bodies are still growing. Ask your doctor about proper sleep amounts for your child's age. For example, children aged 6-13 need 9-11 hours
of sleep while 3-5-year-olds help your child work typically need 11-13 hours. through these issues and recommend a specialist if Is my child developing need be. normally and meeting milestones?

How can my child handle anxiety and other mental-health concerns? Your child's annual checkup isn't just for checking physical health-it's the ideal time to bring up any additional areas of concern where your child may be struggling. For example, is your child experiencing anxiety about starting something new? Having trouble dealing with body changes during puberty? Is he or she struggling academically? Your physician is a great resource who can
"Make a list of your top concerns and present them to your doctor at the beginning of the visit to ensure you get all the information you need," advises Dr. Dulkerian.

TIPS FOR FEELING FIT AT 30, 40, 50 AND BEYOND Do you ever wake up and think "Wow, I don't feel as young as I used to?" It's a sentiment shared by people of ever y age group. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you're 20 or 60 feeling fit and aging well can be a reality with the right mindset and proper exercise and nutrition. Tavis Piattoly is a sports dietitian, expert nutritionist and co-founder of My Sports Dietitian. He lends his expert insight into how people of three different age groups can feel fit, healthy and happy:
Young adults - up to age 30 Starting a career, getting married, buying a home these are just a few big life events people in this age category often experience. It also means less time to focus on fitness, and often an increase in unhealthy
eating on the go. Physical activity: Piattoly suggests young adults do what they enjoy most, fitting it in on a regular basis. "Any form of physical exercise and exertion is beneficial for the cardiovascular system, but adults under 30 usually like sporting events," he says. "This is the age where former athletes or very active postgraduates are still looking to play a sport for fun." Nutrition: "The metabolic rate of this age group is declining, so they can't live on fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner like they did in college," Piattoly says. "It's time to clean up the diet and make smarter choices such as reducing sugar intake and avoiding fast food as much as possible. Prevention should be the focus." Supplements: Piattoly

loss of muscle mass and weaker bones increases risk for injury. Physical activity: Piattoly says regular strength training three to five days per week prevents the progression of muscle loss and maintains good bone strength to prevent falls. "For cardiovascular-related exercises, it is important to do what you enjoy as you are more likely to stay motivated and consistent," he says. "You can still participate in cardiovascular-related sports like tennis and basketball. For lowerimpact sports that are easier on the joints, I like swimming and cycling." Nutrition: "Since the immune system is not as strong as it once was for this age group, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is key, such as five to 10 servings per day," Piattoly says. "Protein is also a critical
nutrient for the preservation of muscle mass. I usually recommend making a smoothie or shake at least once a day, which can include protein powder, fruit and some veggies." Supplements: "For heart and brain health, I'm a big fan of omega-3 fish oil, particularly from Nordic Naturals. They make triglyceride from fish oil, which is the optimal form for absorption," says Piattoly. "Fish oil also supports joint mobility and healthy immunity." Additionally, a vitamin D supplement for bone health and, potentially, calcium for osteoporosis, and creatine to reduce the risk of age-related muscle decline are all worthwhile considerations. (BPT)

Peanut butter is a nutritious food that can be served in sandwiches, as a dip or as an ingredient for flavorful sauces. Peanut butter also can be enjoyed by the spoonful right out of the container. Peanut plants are rather interesting. Unlike many plants, the peanut flowers form above ground, but the fruit — the peanuts — grow below the soil by the roots. Peanuts do not grow on trees and really aren’t nuts at all. They’re actually legumes. The National Peanut Board says that it takes about 540 peanuts to

Young Puppy Just Can’t ‘Hold It’ DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: We adopted a puppy last month. “Jake” is having some problems adjusting to his new home. He has soiled his own bed three times so far (we crate him at night) and doesn’t make it through the day — he starts whining by the door around lunchtime and, if we’re not home, will just go anywhere in the house. How can we fix this? — Carl B., via email DEAR CARL: How old is Jake? It sounds like, barring any unknown physical issues or illness, that he is a young puppy with a small bladder. He
simply can’t hold it as long as a fully grown dog. The fact that Jake makes it a point to whine by the door means that the house training is effective, but you may be waiting much too long to take him out. When he has to go, he will go. That includes soiling his crate, which is an absolute last resort for a dog. Follow this guideline, published by the American Kennel Club, called the “month-plusone” rule: Take your puppy’s age in months, and add one. That gives you a rough estimate of the maximum number of hours Jake should wait before going outside to pee or poop. For example, if Jake is four months old, add one to that number. The total, five, means he should be taken outside every five hours. Every puppy is different, so Jake may need to go out a little sooner.

by Samantha Weaver • It was noted 20thcentury French-Swiss film director, screenwriter and critic JeanLuc Godard who made the following sage observation: "A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order." • Those who study such things say that Roman emperor Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus was more than 8 feet tall.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A hectic period begins to wind down. Take time to draw some deep breaths and relax before getting into your next project. A long-absent family member makes contact. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your lap. But you’d be wise to take this one step at a time to allow new developments to come through. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re almost ready to make a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could provide important answers. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best to make your new relationship special. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That impatient side of yours is looking to goad you into moving before you’re ready to take that big step. Stay calm and cool. Let things fall into place before you act. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A legal matter you hoped could
finally be settled could be a pesky problem for a while, until all the parties agree to stop disagreeing with each other. Be patient. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Partnerships -- personal or professional -- which began before the new year take on new importance. They also reveal some previously hidden risks. So be warned. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your associates are firmly on your side, and that persistent problem that has caused you to delay some activities should soon be resolved to your satisfaction. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Favorable changes continue to dominate, and you should be responding positively as they emerge. Someone wants to become more involved in what you’re doing. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friend wants to share a secret that could answer some questions you’ve wondered about for a long time. Meanwhile, travel aspects continue to be strong. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stay on your new course despite so-called well-meaning efforts to discourage you. Rely on your deep sense of self-awareness to guide you to do what’s right for you. YOU BORN THIS WEEK: You have the capacity to meet challenges that others might find overwhelming, and turn them into successful ventures. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• If you live east of the Rocky Mountains, you've probably spent summer evenings watching the flashing green or yellow lights of those beetles we call fireflies. You might be surprised to learn, though, that different species have different colored lights. For instance, the Paraguayan railway beetle can show both green and red lights (like a railway lantern; hence, the name).

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently more than 1,500 American residents named "Seven." • The Taj Mahal, widely known as "the jewel of Muslim art in India," was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who wanted the tomb of his favorite wife to be housed in splendor. After construction was complete, Jahan wanted to ensure that this architectural wonder would never have a rival, so he had the chief architect and main artisans put to death. The stone masons who had done the best work on the structure
had their hands amputated, and the artists responsible for the delicate inlay work were blinded. • In some parts of colonial America it was illegal to kiss your spouse in public. *** Thought for the Day: "The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."— Elizabeth Cady Stanton © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
