“The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.” – Paul Auster, author It’s true that our world can be unpredictable at times. Just when you feel you’ve got a handle on things, life throws you a curve ball. Call it luck, call it fate, call it chance or call it coincidence. Whatever you call it, it’s there and it’s real. Sometimes these twists of fate are unwelcome. Sometimes, they’re not so bad. But we as humans have figured out how to take something as simple as chance and turn it into a way to entertain ourselves. We’ve created games.

ROULETTE
Games of Chance... Continued from Page 1
Appropriately named after the French term for “little wheel,” roulette is a game that involves a small wheel and a ball. That’s it. The wheel has different colored squares situated in pockets near the center of the wheel. The pockets are either red or black (with the exception of one green square) and are numbered from 1 to 36. The green pocket is 0, although there may be a second green pocket numbered 00. All the red pockets are even numbers and all the black pockets are odd numbers.
Now, not every game is based on pure chance. There are games like chess, checkers and poker (to name a few) that require the players to have a modicum of skill or strategy at their disposal. However, other games are simply based on chance. And those are the games that we decided we’ve look into. So let’s roll the dice and see where it takes us!
WHAT IS A GAME OF CHANCE?
To play the game, the players make bets on either a single number or range of numbers, the color red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. A croupier (the equivalent of a dealer in a card game) spins the wheel in one direction and then places the ball in a circular track around the circumference of the wheel and makes it travel in the opposite direction. As the ball loses momentum, it falls onto the face of the wheel, eventually settling into one of the pockets.
As we mentioned before, a game of chance is a game whose outcome is based almost solely on some randomizing device. Skill is generally not necessary and often doesn’t help. Games of chance often involve items such as throwing dice, roulette wheels, playing cards or numbered balls drawn from a container. We’ve rounded up some popular games of chance just for you and here they are!
game itself didn’t take shape until the 1700s. Roulette is said to be an amalgamation of several different English, Italian and French games all mushed into one. The final product was devised as early as 1796 in Paris. Initially, the roulette wheel had the single zero on red and the double zero on black but confusion ensued so the zeroes where changed to green in the early 1800s. This same version eventually made its way across the Atlantic, to Mississippi and New Orleans before traveling throughout the rest of the country.
CRAPS This simple game of chance involves dice and . . . well, that’s pretty much it. Players make wagers based on the outcome of a roll or series of rolls of a pair of dice. Due to the simple format, this game can be played in a variety of settings, from the casinos of Las Vegas to the streets of your neighborhood.
The roulette wheel was said to have been devised in the 1600s although the

The origins of the game are said to date back to the Crusades. The modern version was brought our country by Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville. Originally it was called crapaud, the French word for “toad” because of how players were often seen crouched over a floor or sidewalk while playing.
KENO This game of chance is used in both casinos and as a version of some state lotteries. The traditional version involves a circular glass container called a “bubble” that holds 80 balls, each labeled with a different number from 1 to 80. During the ball draw, air is pushed into the bubble and the balls are mixed up. A “caller” then presses a lever which opens a tube that lifts one ball at a time into a v-shaped tube called the “rabbit ears.” The caller then reports the number of each of the balls. In traditional keno, 20 balls are drawn, but in state lotteries far fewer are picked. Players bet on the numbers that are chosen and are paid out based on how many of the numbers they’ve selected are pulled from the bubble. The amount of the payout in lottery keno depends on how many numbers the player has correctly chosen and how many tickets are sold. Keno is said to have originated in China and a rumor has circulated that the game was used to raise funds to build the Great Wall of China, but there isn’t much evidence to support the rumor. The game made it to the States when Chinese immigrants were used to help build the First Transcontinental Railroad in the 1800s.
BINGO This game of chance is typically played with a card on which is printed the word “BINGO.” Each letter usually has five
numbers beneath it with the center-most square marked as a “Free Space.” Usually, balls printed with both a number and a letter are drawn from a container in a random order. A caller announces what’s stamped on the ball and players mark that corresponding space on their card if they have it.

The goal is to correctly mark the spaces in a particular pattern (a straight line across, a straight line up and down, a diagonal line, the corners and the Free Space, etc) and then shout “Bingo!” The winner’s card is verified to make sure incorrect spaces weren’t marked in order to win.

The game origins can be traced back to Italy in 1530. Variations and improvements to that original game have been made since then and eventually Hugh J. Ward standardized the rules and game cards at carnivals in the Pittsburgh area in the 1920s. By 1933, he copyrighted the game of “Bingo” and wrote the rule book on it.

• In 1891, Charles Wells became known as “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo” for winning all the available money at each of the roulette tables there over a series of days. • In 1986, a professional gambling team won $3.8 million using a gambling system on an old roulette wheel at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. Within a year, every casino in the world switched to a new lower profile design that made it more difficult to predict where the ball would land. • The longest run of rounds won by the same shooter in a craps game is 154 rolls, which lasted 4 hours and 18 minutes, on May 23 and 24, 2009. The roller was Patricia DeMauro. • Bingo can get highly competitive and players have been known to purchase as many as 30 cards at a time in order to increase their chances of getting a Bingo.

PATHWAY PARENTING
SINGLE PARENTS
S
olo parenting or single parenting can be rough! There are many challenges to being a single parent. Aside from financial concerns for many, the solo parent does much of the housework, laundry, appointments, errands, and setting discipline and consequences. Then of course, if the parent sets a boundary and the child crosses it, there needs to be follow-through. All of this can be daunting to single parents. Being a solo parent is not limited to parents who are single, but to parents whose spouse is rarely home or away on duty. Life can offer many chal-
Another way to create balance is through balancing time. One can do this through restructuring how time is spent. If too many activities are going on at once, it may be wise to identify any activities that can be removed or moved to a different time. Perhaps asking to carpool is the best choice. Engaging in too many activities leads to scattered and worried thoughts, foggy head, and sometimes fatigue. Time does not just balance itself; it

Single parents first need to take a step back and learn how to create a state of balance at home. This may seem like an impossible task for some, so it’s important to know it’s not. Take it one step at a time. Are the children at home old enough to do certain chores that can help the parent? One way to convey the importance of helping at home is communication. If the children are old enough to load/unload the dishwasher, do a load of laundry, run the vacuum, dust some tables or wash some floors, then delegate those tasks. It’s important to express the importance of why it’s important as well. The parent is not just teaching responsibility, but also asking for support. When parent and child can communicate effectively about emotions and needs, it teaches the children they can also communicate

When it comes to our taste buds, fads seem to come and go. One minute we are gushing and gorging on a new sensation, and the next we’re discarding it like an old pair of leg warmers. But pumpkins are like diamonds; they will forever be loved and treasured. Maybe it’s because we don’t feast on them all year long, so when their season returns, they bring to the table that wonderful combination of something new, yet remembered.
Pumpkin does seem to make everything better. It’s good for you, and so versatile that it can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, including soups, pastas, breads and desserts. Pumpkins provide a hefty source of vitamin A, as well as being one of the tastiest forms of fiber. The beauty of the golden orange pumpkin is not only skin deep. That gorgeous color is an indicator of significant amounts of beta carotene, comparable to carrots, beets and sweet potatoes. Pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, minerals and fiber.

AVOID DRUG COPAY COUPONS
I
f clipping coupons keeps some money in our pockets, we’re all for it. But there’s one type of coupon you don’t want to use: drug manufacturers’ coupons to save you money on your drug-plan copays. You see, it’s illegal. It’s part of the anti-kickback laws. And while the drug companies are the ones at fault, there’s recent news that you, the coupon user, could be implicated if you use those coupons in conjunction with your Medicare Part D. Here’s how this works: Drug companies give copay coupons to entice you to buy their brandname drugs instead of the generic that your drug plan offers. This is illegal, because it encourages people to purchase drugs that are paid for by a government health-care pro-
ACQUIRE CONFIDENCE PART 2.2:
PRAY: SEEK WISDOM FROM THE SOURCE OF ALL WISDOM By Ron Ross
Y
ou pray, not because you are a wimpy, helpless, crybaby who is so insecure you think you must depend on some invisible power in the sky to get you through the day. No, you pray because you have, or at least you desire, a personal relationship with God. You believe God lives and he is interested in your life. But more than that, you are convinced God wants a close relationship with you because he created you and he loves you.
If you buy a drug that costs $100 with a $20 copay and use a coupon for $10, you pay only $10 out of pocket. The Plan D program then pays the balance. However, the Part D plan might have a contract to purchase a generic of the drug for only $40. By purchasing the moreexpensive drug with your $10 coupon, you’ve just made your Part D plan pay a larger amount. Ultimately your drug-plan costs will go up ... as well as taxes. How could you be implicated in this? Read the tiny print on the coupon itself. It might say that the coupon can’t be used for drugs covered under a federal health-care program. The information also might be buried on the drug company’s website. If the company is caught, it will point to the small text it provided.

Individualized treatment for:
quently asked. The booklet on the shingles virus answers many of them. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1201, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: What is the difference between a CT scan and an MRI? -B.
SHINGLES VACCINE NOT FOR EVERYONE DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 66 and have multiple sclerosis. Should I get the shingles vaccine? On the one hand, I know it is recommended for everyone. However, I do have a compromised immune system, and it could be risky to inject a virus. Neither my family doctor nor my neurologist has an opinion -- they say it is a toss-up. -- D.E.P. ANSWER: There are two issues here: Could the shingles vaccine, which is a live virus, cause shingles? And secondly, can it cause your multiple sclerosis to flare? Both of these are somewhat controversial. The first question is less so. There is recent evidence that between the MS (or other autoimmune diseases) and its treatment, the immune system is still good enough to prevent any viral disease. The second question is more problematic, with MS experts divided in their opinions. Normally I would ask you to seek your doctors’ opinions, but since they haven’t been much help, I will just say that the risk of causing a flare of MS is theoretical and small, but the downside of shingles is so great that I would, in general, recommend the vaccine to someone in your position.
ANSWER: A CT (computerized tomography) scan uses X-rays to create an image that looks like a slice through the body, head or a limb. The quality of the picture is excellent, but it has much more radiation than a regular X-ray. An MRI uses powerful magnetic waves to create an image that also looks like a slice. It uses no radiation. CT scans are cheaper and faster, in general. One isn’t necessarily “better” than the other. MRI tends to be better for looking at soft tissues, like the brain, and CT usually is better for looking at bones. Your doctor, or the consulting radiologist, can tell you which is more likely to be better in your individual situation. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your response to T.M. about his PSA level. Rather than a biopsy, would a PCA3 urine test be as good? -- S.R. ANSWER: The prostate cancer antigen 3 gene (PCA3) has been proposed both as a screening test by itself, and as a confirmatory test after an abnormal PSA test. It was a bit better than PSA as a screening test, and shows promise as a test to reduce unnecessary biopsies for men with abnormal PSA levels. However, the most recent study from Brown University in 2013 concluded that there isn’t yet enough evidence to start using this test on a routine basis.
***
People on high-dose steroids or other medications that suppress the immune system should not get the vaccine. Neither should people with leukemia, lymphoma or advanced HIV.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On Oct. 26, 1776, a month after being named a diplomatic agent, Benjamin Franklin sets sail from Philadelphia for France, where he was to negotiate and secure a formal alliance and treaty. While Franklin’s personal achievements were celebrated and feted in Paris, his treaty success was slow. The treaty wasn’t signed until 1778. • On Oct. 25, 1881, Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, is born in Spain. Picasso’s body of work comprises more than 50,000 paintings, drawings, engravings, sculptures and ceramics produced over 80 years until his death in 1973 at age 91. • On Oct. 22, 1934, Charles “Pretty Boyâ€? Floyd is shot and killed by FBI agents in a cornfield in East Liverpool, Ohio. Floyd, who had been a hotly pursued fugitive for four years, used his last breath to proclaim his innocence. • On Oct. 20, 1947, the House Un-Amer-
ican Activities Committee of the U.S. Congress opens its investigation into communist infiltration of the American movie industry. Many Hollywood actors saw their careers destroyed over false allegations or when they protested having their political loyalties questioned. • On Oct. 24, 1958, mystery writer Raymond Chandler starts working on his last novel, “The Poodle Springs Story,â€? but he would die before completing it. Chandler published only seven novels, among them his first novel, “The Big Sleep,â€? in 1939 and “The Long Goodbyeâ€? in 1953. • On Oct. 21, 1967, some 100,000 antiwar demonstrators march on the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. military. Violence erupted when the protesters clashed with soldiers and U.S. marshals protecting the building. By the time order was restored, 683 people had been arrested. • On Oct. 23, 1983, a suicide bomber drives a truck filled with 2,000 pounds of explosives into a U.S. Marine Corps barracks at the Beirut International Airport. The explosion killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers. Four months after the bombing, American forces left Lebanon without retaliating.

• It was President John F. Kennedy who defined happiness as “the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.” • Any novelty seeker planning a trip to Japan ought to include a trip to the town of Susami, home to the world’s deepest underwater postbox. A scuba diver who would like to send a unique message should head to the local dive shop and buy a special water-resistant postcard, then use an oil-based marker to write the message. On a dive off the town’s coast, the diver can head down 30 feet to deposit the mail in a red postbox, which is checked every few days by a diveshop employee. All the postcards are then taken to the local post office and sent on to the recipients. • Considering the ever-increasing cost of postage, you might be surprised to learn that the U.S. Postal Service was free until 1863.
• Milton Hershey, creator of the iconic Hershey Bar and founder of the Pennsylvania company town that bears his name, grew up in a Mennonite family, working on the family farm. He had no formal schooling past the fourth grade. He served as an apprentice to a candy maker, then started his own confectionery. It failed. His second attempt also was a failure. His third attempt in the candy business was such a success that he sold the company for a large profit in 1900. He immediately used the proceeds from that sale to come up with his own formula for milk chocolate and create the Hershey Company. • Those who study such things say that 20 percent of American men have spent at least one night in jail. *** Thought for the Day: “The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.” -- Pablo Picasso (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

The benefit of comfort meals is that they elevate the mood on cold, gloomy days, and if your larder is stocked with the ingredients, it keeps you from going out in the cold or wet weather, or battling for the last loaf of bread in the store if a storm is coming. Stocking up means planning, however. That’s where understanding some of the psychology of grocery stores comes in handy. Have you noticed that the dairy case is usually in the back corner of the store? Milk is one of the most frequently purchased items, so by putting it far from the front door, customers are forced to walk past thousands of items on the way to the milk. The store hopes you’ll put extra items in your basket. Therefore, shop from a list ... with a little wiggle room. Be ready to take advantage of a genuine bargain if you spot one, but know that the weekly sales ads touting bargains might not be any cheaper than the price you usually pay.

EXPOSED!
“girlfriend” taped a private conversation of theirs and said some highly inappropriate things that were deemed racist by society as a whole. As a result, he lost his wife, team, and reputation.
