P Tiger Woods

Q: How was Tiger Woods the highest-paid athlete last year after he lost sponsors and won only one tournament? —Ruby M., Philadelphia

A: Woods’s personal

woes certainly hindered his game for much of the past two years and cost him sponsors like AT&T and Gatorade. But he retained some endorsement deals, including Nike and Electronic Arts, which together accounted for more than n half of his estimated $75 million take in 2011. 1.

Then & Now A peek at American paychecks over the past 30 years: the ups, the downs, and the surprising turnarounds thirty years ago, as parade’s editors were putting together the first edition of What People Earn, I was landing my first gig in publishing: associate editor at Teen Beat. Not exactly the Woodward-and-Bernstein assignment I’d imagined as a journalism major at New York University, but it was a job! And interviewing up-and-coming stars like Michael J. Fox and Matthew Perry proved to be the perfect entrée to dream positions at Entertainment Weekly, LIFE, People, and, in 2010, PARADE. That’s my story. But what about the folks featured over the years in What People Earn? arn? Was Doug Olson, who appeared ared on our 1983 cover, still teaching ng science? Was Charlene Rose-Masuda still getting MAGGIE MURPHY by as a Dolly Parton on impersonator? Executive editor Brad Dunn and THEN NOW reporters Jeryl Brunner, Mari Kasanuki, and Emmet Sullivan tracked down over 100 people from past WPE issues and asked: Are you happy at work? rk? How did the recession affect you? Do you dream of finding a new job? The answers offer a revealing look at the workforce in these uncertain ertain times. I invite you to share your own story at Parade.com/jobs. m/jobs. And to the hardworking folks we’ve profiled over the years, let me say, on behalf of PARADE’s 131 employees, we’ve loved doing business siness with you. —Maggie Murphy, editor in chief

It’s not easy morphing into someone else for a living: “You have to really, really practice her makeup,” Rose-Masuda says of the years she’s spent becoming the Queen of Country. THEN Thanks to all the wigs and the custommade shoes and costumes, “I’m going broke keeping up!” The investment has paid off, though: Rose-Masuda has Parton’s official stamp of approval; she’s performed as the singer all around the world and has even played her on film. Best of all, she’s actually spent time with her. “Every impersonator’s dream is to meet the person they impersonate—and to own one of their original pieces of clothing. I’ve been lucky enough to do both.” Carving a career out of imitation is no mean feat, but for Rose-Masuda it’s all about enjoying her work. “I’m the mother to five boys, so it’s fun playing dress-up,” she says. And there’s a serious side, too. “Over the years I’ve done many fund-raisers and charity events for organizations like the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. That in itself is very rewarding.”

Kelley chose his field because the work would be steady, but he’s remained because he feels his calling is to “take care of families who are grieving.”

Legal Notice

If You Lived, Worked, or Attended School in the Nitro Area of West Virginia A Class Action Settlement May Affect Your Rights

What Does The Settlement Provide? The Settlement establishes a medical monitoring program and fund to provide eligible Class Members with free medical monitoring at Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston, West Virginia. Medical monitoring will only be provided if the Court approves the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved. If you are eligible to participate, you will receive medical monitoring only. You will not be paid money or other beneﬁts. If you live in the class area but do not qualify for medical monitoring, you will not be able to sue for medical monitoring in the future. How is Eligibility Determined? The need for medical monitoring depends on how much exposure a person had, so not everyone who lived, worked or attended school in the area will be eligible. You must meet certain time and age requirements to qualify. Details on eligibility criteria can be found on the website. How Do I Participate? If you wish to participate in the free medical testing, or you want your neighbors to have an opportunity to participate,

What Are Your Options? Object: You can object to the Settlement or the award of attorneys’ fees and costs. You must object in writing postmarked no later than June 7, 2012 to the Clerk of the Court, Circuit Court of Putnam County, 3389 Winfield Road, Winfield, WV 25213. If you have no objection to the Settlement, you do not have to do anything, other than request a Registration Packet if you would like the opportunity to participate. Appear or Speak: You can appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to. You can hire your own attorney, at your own expense, to appear or speak for you at the hearing. If you want to appear or speak at the hearing, you must include your notice to appear with your objection. When Will The Court Decide? The Court has appointed The Calwell Practice PLLC of Charleston, West Virginia to represent you at no cost to you. A hearing will be held on June 18, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., in Courtroom 1, at the Putnam County Courthouse, 3389 Winfield Road, Winfield, WV 25213 to consider whether to approve the Settlement and a request for attorneys’ fees and costs. Get More Information For more detailed information, to register, or view any Court documents, visit www.BibbClass.com, call toll-free 1-877-552-1274, or write to: Bibb Class, PO Box 1031, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1031.

Here’s what the self-employed need to know HA W T

Many of the folks on our list love being their own boss—there’s no dress code, and they decide when PL the workday’s over. But someE E times freelancers forget to be their own HR managers. Sure, you know you need medical coverage, but other ﬁnancial and insurance matters also require your attention. Sara Horowitz, founder and executive director of the Freelancers Union, offers these tips.

•

Are You Affected? You are included in the medical monitoring class, if you worked full time, attended school full time, or lived in Putnam and Kanawha county area of West Virginia known as the ”Class Area” between January 1, 1948 and September 30, 2010. You do not need to live in the Nitro area now if you lived in the Nitro area in the past. However, everyone will not be eligible for medical monitoring. You can review a complete description of the eligibility criteria and a map of the area involved on the website or by calling the toll free number listed below.

you need to contact the Notice Administrator by June 7, 2012 to request a Registration Packet. You can contact the Notice Administrator at 1-877-552-1274 or sign up to receive updates at www.Bibbclass.com. You will then be notified about the results of the Fairness Hearing along with registration information. If you do not contact the Notice Administrator then it is up to you to find out if the Settlement gets approved. If you wish to participate you must register by October 16, 2012. After approval, the Registration and Program Administrator will be the firm of Flaherty, Sensabaugh and Bonasso of Charleston, WV. If you do not want to participate in the medical monitoring, you do not have to do anything. If you do nothing, you will not receive any further notice regarding this Settlement.

What Is This Case About? A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Monsanto Company and various others (the “Defendants”) about whether air emissions from burning waste materials at the old Monsanto chemical plant in Nitro, West Virginia and other locations in the area created a signiﬁcant health risk requiring diagnostic medical examinations. The case in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, West Virginia is called Bibb v. Monsanto Company, No. 04-C-465. The Court has appointed the The Calwell Practice PLLC of Charleston, WV, to represent the Class.

• Plan for dry spells. Independent workers are rarely guaranteed a steady income, so have a nest egg stashed away: An emergency account containing six months’ worth of savings is recommended. • Don’t mix business with pleasure. Keeping work and personal funds separate will spare you big headaches (and opening a second checking account is a cinch). • Save a little something for Uncle Sam. You should set aside about 30 percent of your income for taxes. If you don’t, you’ll be in for a nasty surprise come April: The self-employed typically pay twice as much into Social Security and Medicare as traditional employees. • Be safe, not sorry. Make sure you get the right insurance. Disability insurance is essential for the self-employed; it will replace a portion of lost income if you’re unable to work for an extended period. Liability insurance can shield you from lawsuits that arise from work-related accidents. And, if your work depends on expensive, specialized equipment, you should look into property insurance.

Make every word count. Avoid saying anything that doesn’t add value (“um” is a prime example); don’t use three sentences when one will do. By eliminating the verbal ﬁller, you’ll have people hanging on your words instead of tuning them out.

Set the tone at the start. Instead of beginning with the standard “Hi, my name is,” grab your listeners’ attention with a scene or a question. Choose a story that captures an important message and practice telling it with emotion and ﬂuid body language.

PBooks GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR ... Rachel Dratch, nonfiction, $26

Saturday Night Live alumna Rachel Dratch—she of the Debbie Downer, “wicked” Boston fans, and hot-tub “luvvahs” sketches—has written a hilariously honest memoir about comedy, typecasting, bad dates, and the life-altering happiness of discovering, to her surprise at the age of 43, that she was pregnant. Her voice resonates on every page, and it sounds like the voice of an old friend. THE BOOK OF JONAS Stephen Dau, fiction, $25

In a remote village battle zone, a teenager’s family is killed in a bomb strike. Rescued and brought to the U.S., Younis becomes Jonas, a typical American high schooler— until his past resurfaces in a most unexpected way. This luminous and suspenseful first novel does a remarkable thing: It makes the toll that war takes on our humanity specific and searingly real.

Such a Charmer Anyone can learn to light up a room, says Olivia Fox Cabane, author of the new book The Charisma Myth

2. 90 SECOND EYE LIFT Instantly reduces the appearance of ﬁne lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Lifts the brow and reduces the appearance of under eye circles and pufﬁness for smoother, youngerlooking eyes.

What does it mean to have charisma? There are three components. The first is “presence.” People who have met Bill Clinton often say he made them feel like the only one in the room—he wasn’t distracted, he was truly present. The second: power. That doesn’t mean you’re a CEO, but that you broadcast confidence. And the third is warmth—the ability to express goodwill and empathy.

Absolutely. We think that charisma is innate because most highly charismatic people learn these things very early on. Some people, though, develop charisma after they’ve become successful—like Steve Jobs. If you watch videos of him speaking from 1984 onward, you can see him gaining confidence, poise, and warmth in his voice. How can people easily give their charisma a boost? Keep a relatively still body language.

Excessive nodding or fidgeting can make you appear impatient, insecure, or nervous. Also, when someone asks you a question, wait one or two seconds before answering. Charisma is not just about others’ perceptions of you; it’s about how you make them feel about themselves. That brief pause makes the other person feel that their question was so weighty, so smart, that you need to gather your thoughts before you respond.

SMART MOVE OF THE WEEK

Aim for 25 grams of fiber a day. It’ll help keep you full—and keep you regular—and it may even prolong your life. Among foods naturally high in fiber are artichokes, beans, broccoli, lentils, oats, pears, peas, and raspberries. For video health tips from Dr. Oz, go to Parade.com/oz.

Consumers dump cable and satellite for free TV invention with no monthly bills Slick little $47 invention pulls in up to 953 crystal clear over-the-air digital TV shows Free with no monthly bills U.S. RESIDENTS

If you live in one of the U.S. zip codes listed below call the special 48-hour hotlines to get Free TV

(UMS) – The Free TV Hotlines are ringing off the hook. That’s because U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting Free TV thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention called Clear-Cast™. U.S. residents who get the ClearCast by calling the Free TV Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline ends can get over 953 crystal clear over-the-air digital TV shows each year for free and get rid of their cable or satellite bills.1 This is all possible because a U.S. federal law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in a digital format, which allows everyone to receive digital broadcast signals for free with no monthly bills. These are the over-the-air broadcast signals that the cable and satellite companies get and then retransmit to you for a hefty charge every month. Here’s how it works. The ClearCast’s advanced patent-pending design links up directly to receive local and national shows being broadcast in your area. It performs like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line package. This allows people everywhere to bypass the cable and satellite middleman and get the crystal clear digital and high-definition over-the-air signals free of charge. Clear-Cast was invented by Dr. Argy Petros, a renowned NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scientist who currently holds 22 U.S. Gov’t issued patents. “People who get the Clear-Cast will say it feels like getting an extra paycheck every month. That’s because it doesn’t pull in those expensive cable and satellite-only pay channels so all the money you were spending on cable and satellite bills will go back in your pocket every month,” said Dr. Petros. That way you can channel surf through the favorite TV shows absolutely free. The number of shows and channels you’ll get depends on where you live. People living in large metropolitan areas may get up to 53 crystal clear channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even if you’re in a rural area that pulls

in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts there’s up to 953 shows each year to watch for free. Thousands of U.S. residents are expected to call to get Clear-Cast because it just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get hundreds of shows absolutely free. So, U.S. residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the Free TV Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends to get the Clear-Cast that gives everyone Free TV. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. 𰁎

𰁎𰀀U.S. RESIDENTS GET FREE TV: FedEx® trucks are being loaded for delivery with thousands of Clear-Casts that can eliminate cable or satellite bills and pull in up to 953 crystal clear over-the-air digital TV shows for free with no monthly bills.

A small company has a bonus pool to reward employees. Allocation is by rank, as follows: John, 41 percent; Mary, 41 percent; Brian, 8 percent; Jennifer, 5 percent; and Matthew, 5 percent. Jessica is hired as a new employee. John and Mary decide that she should receive 4 percent of the bonus pool. What is the fairest way to reallocate the bonuses? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Chris Byrd, Dallas

For Jessica to get 4 percent of the pool, all the other shares should be reduced by the same percentage. For example, multiply Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41 percent by .96 and his new share would be 39.36 percent. The same for Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share would go down to 7.68 percent. Jenniferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shares would be 4.8 percent each. Add Jessica at 4 percent and the total is 100 percent of the bonus pool.
