• On Nov. 9, 1965, a backup relay on one of the five main transmission lines failed at a station near Toronto. The electrical load shifted to the other four lines, which then became overloaded and shut down. Within minutes, power plants in Canada, New York, and most of New England were out of service, putting 30 million people in the dark. In some areas, power was not restored for more than 12 hours. Nine months later, hospitals in the area noted a distinct increase in the number of babies born. • Janos Pek of Hungary had been confined to a hospital bed for 11 years after an accident left him paralyzed and mute. In 1975, he was listening to the opening game of the soccer season on the radio. When the announcer described the tripping of a player of Pek’s favorite team, Pek shouted, “Penalty!” It was the first word he had spoken in over a decade. Though he remained paralyzed, he spoke normally afterwards. Incidentally, Pek’s team won the game.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Get Rid of the Rooster Every morning of his young life, Booker T Washington and his fellow slaves were awakened by the unwelcomed noise of a rooster. Long before the sun rose the loud crow would fill the shanties reminding the slaves to crawl out of bed and leave for the cotton fields. That rooster’s crow came to symbolize a life of long backbreaking days of labor. When Abraham Lincoln pronounced freedom with the Emancipation Proclamation, Booker was awakened again for the last time by a hysterical cry. This time Bookers mom was chasing the rooster with an ax. That day the Washington family fried and ate their haunting alarm clock for lunch. Their first act of freedom was to end the reminder that held them hostage. Are any “roosters” holding you hostage? You might need to sharpen the blade. In the words of Paul, “forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. Philippians 3:13

• Owen Rutherford was an attendant at the Lincoln Park Zoo. One day he drove to the airport to pick up some snakes being shipped in. It seemed to him that the deadly black mamba snake was dead. So he poked it with his finger. The snake was not dead. Rutherford recovered in a nearby hospital. • Abie Goldberry was goalie on a Canadian junior ice hockey team in 1930. In the back pocket of his hockey shorts he kept a book of matches and a plastic comb. When a puck from a hard shot struck his back pocket, the friction caused the matches to ignite, melting the comb and setting his pants on fire. He was rushed to the hospital, and his team lost 2 - 0. • A 1961 game between the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies did not go well for the Giants, who lost 1-0. The Giant’s manager, Alvin Dark, was so angry at the team’s poor performance that he stormed into the clubhouse, grabbed a metal stool, and threw it across the room. Unfortunately, his pinky finger got caught on a rough edge of the metal and the tip of it tore off. He was rushed to the hospital and stitched up, minus the missing tip. His players felt bad, so to make their peace with him they found the tip of his finger, pickled it in alcohol, and presented the jar to him as a gift. • George Watts of England liked being in the hospital. He liked the free room and board, and he especially liked being cared for by sympathetic nurses. So he made a habit of swallowing coins, then admitting himself to various hospitals across the country. He would complain of chest pains, doctors would remove the coins, nurses would care for him, and the government would pick up the tab. When the government figured out his scheme, he was sentenced to a year in jail for obtaining hospital care by deception.

When he came to, he found that he had fallen on his electric drill— which was on at the time. The drill was imbedded three inches deep in his skull. He pulled on it but it wouldn’t come out. So he restarted it, reversed the direction, and pulled it out. At the hospital they removed a bone fragment from his brain. Afterwards he was fine. • Police officer Timothy Day of Indianapolis made a trip to the hospital after picking up a bag of cocaine to seize it as evidence, and a gust of wind blew the contents into his face.

MALPRACTICE

• In 1970 in Indiana the parents of 15-monthold Rodney Brown were informed the child suffered from cystic fibrosis and would not live past his mid-teens. For the next decade, Rodney was subjected to all manner of medical procedures. In 1975 Rodney was chosen as Indiana’s cystic fibrosis poster child, and in 1976 he became the national poster child. He even met Pres. Ford. In 1980 the family moved to Maryland and took Rodney to see a new doctor. The new doctor found that Rodney did not have cystic fibrosis after all. He merely suffered from asthma. • A psychic suffering from persistent headaches had a CT-scan. The dye they used, she said, made her feel like her head was going to explode. Afterwards she found her psychic powers had evaporated. She sued the hospital. Although the jury awarded her nearly $1 million, the judge threw out the verdict.

• In 1984 a 305-pound man in Virginia underwent a stomach-stapling operation to lose weight. He was still in the hospital two days later when he spied a refrigerator. He ate so much he popped the staples and required emergency surgery. He later tried to sue the hospital, saying they were negligent in allowing him near the fridge.

“Just relax”, the hospital staff kept telling Jim, but it was to no avail. Jim’s wife was in labor and Jim was a nervous wreck. After what seemed like a week, to both Jim and the hospital staff, a nurse came out with the happy news, “it’s a girl”, she cried. “Thank Goodness, a girl”, said Jim, “at least she won’t have to go through what I just went through!”

MENTAL PATIENTS

• Nathaniel Lee was an author who suffered from bouts of insanity and was confined to Bedlam Hospital. A friend once visited him there. Lee showed him around, giving him a tour of the hospital. His conversation was so rational that the friend hoped that Lee might have recovered his sanity. His hopes were dashed, however, when they reached the roof of the building. “Let us achieve immortality by leaping down off this roof!” exclaimed Lee. Coolly, the friend replied, “Any man can leap DOWN off a building and there is no immortality in that. True immortality would be achieved by going to the pavement below and leaping UP!” Lee rushed quickly down the stairs to see if he could indeed achieve immortality this way. • Catherine Yasinchuk came to the U.S. before World War I at the age of 15. She spoke only her native Ukrainian. She married, had a child— and was devastated when they both died. She wandered the streets weeping. The police found her, but she only babbled incoherently. The police sent her to a mental hospital. She was 23 at the time. She lived there for the next 48 years, where everyone assumed she was insane because she was unable to communicate. In 1968 a new director reviewed her case. An employee who spoke Ukrainian discovered she could communicate after all. She was released from the institute and went to live with the daughter of the woman in the personnel department. She died in 1983, having spent half her life in an institute because she spoke a different language.

Hallmark Card: “I’m so miserable without you, it’s almost like you’re still here.”..

● On July 24, 1567, during her imprisonment at Lochleven Castle in Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots is forced to abdicate in favor of her 1-year-old son, later crowned King James VI of Scotland. In 1542, while just 6 days old, Mary had ascended to the Scottish throne upon the death of her father, King James V. ● On July 28, 1929, President John F. Kennedy’s wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, is born into a prominent New York family. In 1951, she began her first job as the Washington Times-Herald’s “Inquiring Camera Girl,” roaming the streets of Washington, D.C., and asking “man on the street” questions.

● On July 23, 1918, Della Sorenson kills the first of her seven victims in Nebraska. Over the next seven years, friends, relatives and acquaintances of Sorenson died under mysterious circumstances. In 1925, Sorenson was arrested when she made an unsuccessful attempt at killing two children with poisoned cookies.

Choosing the Right Medicare Drug Plan

Choosing a drug plan through Medicare (called Part D) can be something of a guessing game. If you want to change plans or are just about to sign up, the choices can be confusing. Here are a few things to know: Your regular pharmacy might not be in a “network” that your plan covers. You’ll have to go to another pharmacy for your drugs to be covered, a “preferred” pharmacy that has agreed to charge less, per your plan. Even if your drug is on your plan’s list, it might not be in the future. Plan providers have 60 days to notify you that it won’t be available. You’ll need to have your doctor ask for an exception, or you’ll need to change drugs, or you’ll need to pay more to keep taking them. The drug plans are broken into four categories, or tiers: Lowest co-pay: generic drugs Medium co-pay: preferred brand-name prescription drugs (Preferred means that it’s what Medicare prefers you take.) Higher co-pay: non-preferred, brandname drugs Specialty tier: highest co-pay, unique, high-cost drugs Before you sign up for any drug plan, get all your information. Go online to medicare.gov, click on Forms, then Publications, then type 11136 in the search box for the drug plan fact sheet. Then do another search for “Part D” for a long list of publications. Best bet: If you can afford a plan that lets you use your regular neighborhood pharmacy, do so. If it has a pharmacist that you trust, he or she can keep an eye on all the drugs you are taking, to make sure there are no interactions.

• Her appetite for knowledge was insatiable. She attended lectures and read widely. She studied literature, history and the natural sciences with a special emphasis on botany and astronomy. She had an aptitude for writing and produced a number of successful books. • In 1841 she began teaching Sunday school at a women’s prison in Massachusetts, where she was horrified by the appalling treatment the prisoners were subjected to – especially the inmates who suffered from mental illnesses. It upset her that the mentally ill were housed alongside felons, which she felt was unfair. The prison had no heat and she immediately went to court in order to secure heat for the prison. This kicked off a life-long devotion to social reform. • Following this experience, she set about to conduct a statewide examination of how the state of Massachusetts cared for poor people who were also insane. Most towns simply hired local individuals to care for people with mental disorders. Because the system was unregulated and underfunded, there was widespread abuse. Dorothea presented a scathing report to the state legislature, pointing to numerous instances where people had been chained, beaten, and starved. As a result of her lobbying, the mental hospital in Worcester, MA was expanded.

• Next Dorothea traveled to other states, working tirelessly to instigate social reform for the mentally ill. She documented conditions, published papers, met with politicians, and worked with committees to draft new laws. • Illinois opened their first mental asylum as a direct result of her efforts. The institute that was built in Raleigh, North Carolina was named in her honor. Pennsylvania followed suit shortly afterwards and opened an asylum in Harrisburg. • In 1854 she guided the Bill for the Benefit of the Indigent Insane through the United States Congress, which provided funds to build more asylums across the country. Although it was passed with broad support from both houses of Congress, the bill was vetoed by President Franklin Pierce, who felt that the federal government should not be involved in social welfare, which was the responsibility of the states. • Angry over the rejection of the bill, Dorothea traveled to Scotland and then to Nova Scotia where she continued her work. She mercilessly exposed the enormous disparity between public and private hospitals. After visiting with Pope Pius IX, he was moved to order the construction of a new hospital for the mentally ill. • Dix returned to the United States in 1856. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, she volunteered her services and was named superintendent of nurses. She was responsible for setting up field hospitals and first-aid stations, recruiting nurses, managing supplies, and setting up training programs. • In 1881, Dix moved into the New Jersey State Hospital, which she had founded 40 years earlier. The state legislature designated a suite for her private use as long as she lived. She died on July 17, 1887. • All in all, her tireless efforts over the course of 40 years directly led to the construction of 32 institutions for the care of the mentally ill in the U.S. and resulted in a major change in the way the mentally ill are treated.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta

Repair Instructions Aren’t Always Right Q: My cousin often asks me to come over and help with various home-repair projects. The thing is, he isn’t particularly good at these various tasks, particularly plumbing, yet he won’t take advice. He just sticks to the instructions he downloads from the Web, without varying. How can I help him be a little more flexible in how he accomplishes jobs? I’m ready to just stop helping him. -- Barry in Oklahoma City

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● In 1977, Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Company, made the following regrettable statement: “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” ● Gross fact of the day: Half of the bacteria in the human mouth haven’t even been identified yet by science. ● The drug Ivermectin is a broadspectrum antiparasitic, used mainly to treat infestations of worms. The people who have been helped by this medication might be surprised to learn that the drug was developed through research spurred by a fungus found growing on the golf shoe of a botanist. ● If you’re a centenarian, you might want to consider moving to New Mexico. In that state, there is a law declaring that everyone 100 and older is tax-exempt. ● Arizonans take note: Hunting camels is illegal in your state. ● If you’re like the hypothetical average person, your mouth will create 10,000 gallons of saliva over the course of your lifetime. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A: It can be pretty difficult to convince a new DIY’er that the instructions for a project aren’t always exactly right. That might seem odd coming from a home-improvement column that offers advice on various projects, but real-life experience offers variables that written instructions can’t always predict. There’s a lot of ego wrapped up in fixing things yourself, especially when it’s on your own property. So being told you’re wrong about a repair step can be tough to process. What do I mean by instructions that aren’t always right? Well, instructions for many repairs are given as general instruction -- they don’t address specific brands or models, or the exact problem you’re facing. Take, for example, repairing a dripping faucet. There are plenty of instructions available to fix this problem on the most common types of faucets -- there is the basic compression faucet, but there are also ball, disc and cartridge types. And each manufacturer and model has slight differences -- sometimes it’s just chrome finish versus brushed steel, but others have unique peculiarities. What if, for example, there’s a problem with a cartridge-type faucet, but when your cousin follows repair directions exactly, the faucet doesn’t work? He’s got to look at other sources or listen to other advice. I’ll give you an example. My mother called a plumber to install a new cartridge-type faucet recently. She used to do this kind of improvement herself, but in the past few years has decided against complex DIY projects. The plumber installed the faucet, but was stumped as it was non-operational. What to do? My mother had already called the manufacturer and learned that the cartridge had to be installed in a specific sequence. Once she convinced the plumber to follow her initial instructions, the faucet worked perfectly. For my mother, tact wasn’t a big of a problem because the plumber was getting paid to do the job. For you, since your cousin is family, convincing him to do a job a bit differently from the instructions may take some work. Be patient, make recommendations calmly (like, “hey, why not try this?”) and don’t threaten to leave if he doesn’t follow your advice. If it’s too stressful to work with your cousin, and giving it one more try didn’t work, then perhaps it’s wiser to just make yourself unavailable for DIY jobs at his place.
