THE RAINFORESTS (continued): • Rainforests can be broken down into four major layers. Everything begins at the forest floor. Most of the floor is clear of plants because very little sunlight penetrates that far down. Any leaves or animal waste that fall to the floor decompose very quickly due to the lack of light and high humidity levels, leaving the area bare. • The second layer is the understory, which gets more light than the forest floor and is home to many plants and animals, such as snakes, jaguars and trees that can reach up to 60 feet (18 m) tall. It is very humid in the understory, and there is little air movement. • The canopy layer is next, formed of 98 to 131 foot (30-40 m) trees that comprise a thick canopy that covers everything below. A majority of the rainforest’s life lives in the lush and plentiful canopy layer, and some species never leave it. • The final layer of the rainforest is the emergent layer, which is made up of even taller trees that grow anywhere from 147 to 262 feet (45 - 80 m) tall. • Because most food resides so high in the canopy, rainforests aren’t suitable habitats for humans. Most tribes that utilize rainforests for food live outside the forest in nearby areas. • The Amazon rainforest is one of the world’s largest biomes. It covers 1.4 billion acres (5.5 million km2) of the Amazon River basin and supports more than 300 species of mammals, including two species of freshwater dolphins.

THE RAINFORESTS (continued): • Although they are some of the oldest in the world, most of Southeast Asia’s primary rainforests are expected to be completely destroyed within the next decade. This means animals like the Bengal tiger, king cobra and the Javan silvery gibbon will all lose their homes. As of 2008, there were less than 2,500 silvery gibbons in the wild, and some estimates show that at least 50 percent of the gibbons’ population will disappear in the next decade, putting this creature in danger of extinction. • The world’s largest rodent makes its home in the Amazon rainforest. The capybara can grow up to 4.3 feet (1.3 m) long, and although some have been said to weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg), the average capybara is about 140 pounds (65 kg). Capybaras are herbivores that live semi-aquatically near rivers, swamps and other bodies of water. They also live in packs and are very social creatures. The capybara is a favorite snack of another of the world’s largest animals: the anaconda. • The plants of the world’s rainforests are also very important. Did you know that Madagascar Periwinkle, also known as the Rosy Periwinkle, contains the alkaloid vincristine? Vincristine is used in chemotherapy, mainly to treat Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as well as acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Before the discovery of vincristine, which originally studied as a possible treatment for diabetes, those with Hodgkin’s lymphoma only had a 19 percent survival rate. However, the use of vincristine and other drugs have brought this rate up to 58 percent. • Many of our favorite foods first originated in the rainforests too, things like chocolate, avocados, guavas, mangos and bananas.

www.localshoppingcedarrapids.com Do not be confused about "Buy Local". Buy Local means to purchase material or services from those businesses owned by people who live in the Cedar Rapids area. These owners are your family, friends and neighbours that could use your help. Some of them have been through the 2008 flood and others are battling the economy. Let us support these businesses by shopping at their establishments and in turn revitalize the great city of Cedar Rapids. We encourage customers to UTILIZE this free website for supporting local business owners and for the betterment of the Cedar Rapids community.

WHY BUY LOCAL?

Studies have shown that $45 of every $100 spent at locally owned stores stays in the community, whereas only about $13 of every $100 spent in chain (big box) stores remains in the local economy.

THE RAINFORESTS (continued): • So why should we worry about the rainforests now? If they covers so much of the Earth, there’s still some left, right? Every second a football field-sized area of rainforest is destroyed due to deforestation. That’s roughly 86,400 acres every day. Over 2,250 species of trees and flowering plants, 125 species of mammals, 150 species of butterflies and 400 species of birds reside in a single hectare (2.47 miles) of rainforest, and in less than an hour each day, all of this is destroyed. • To further put it into perspective, every year we lose a piece of the rainforest twice the size of the state of Florida. • The rainforest is also home to many species that are vulnerable or endangered, and deforestation affects them. Pollutants and waste from industry and deforestation degrade the water quality in places like the Amazon River, causing poor quality of life for vulnerable species like the Amazon River dolphin. • The argument for cutting down the rainforest is its initial economic boost, but many experts agree that preserving the rainforest would yield far more economic benefits from its exports of fruits, oils, nuts and plants than its deforestation for ranching or timber harvest. • So what can you do? Search “rainforest preservation” in your favorite search engine and get involved with the preservation group that you like best. Also, spread the word to your friends and family. Tell them you read it in Tidbits. $25 off a lovable pet portrait! For the first 5 people this week who call and mention this ad.

AFRICAN SAFARI

“As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti...” This lyric from a rock song just hints at the majesty and wonder of Africa. Get ready to learn some wild facts as we adventure through the savanna. • In African folktales, the hare is a trickster. The tales of the African hare migrated with the slaves who told them in America and are thought to be part of the basis for the Br’er Rabbit stories by Uncle Remus. The African hare is an herbivore that lives among the wooded savannas. • Bongos aren’t just drums. They are a type of antelope as well. Bongos are the largest and heaviest of forest antelopes. They live in the rainforests of West Africa and are nocturnal by nature. The male bongo will actually live on his own except during mating season. It is the females and calves that form the bongo herds. An adult bongo can weigh anywhere from 500 to 900 pounds (227 to 408 kg). • An elephant never forgets! Likewise, once you learn about an African elephant, you’ll never forget it. Unlike most four-legged creatures, an elephant’s legs are placed directly under it. An elephant’s skin can be up to an inch thick in some places. And elephants drink up to 50 gallons (189 liters) of water each day to stay hydrated in the hot African sun. • Let’s not forget about our other African giant, the hippopotamus. Did you know that a hippopotamus can live up to 50 years? The hippopotamus is the third-largest living land animal and can weigh up to 31 tons. In ancient Egypt, the hippopotamus was revered as a deity. There is also another type of hippopotamus that lives in Africa, the smaller pygmy hippopotamus of West Africa, which is listed as an endangered species. • Found in the grassy plains and woodlands of Africa, the lion is one African symbol that everyone recognizes. Did you know that a lion’s roar can be heard up to five miles (eight km) away? The lion is a natural predator, and its only real threat is humans. • The largest of all living primates surely deserves its part in our African safari. Adult, male gorillas, which live in central Africa, grow to reach heights of 5.75 feet (1.75 m) and can weigh up to 450 pounds (204 kg). Did you know that gorillas, like humans, have individual fingerprints? • You might not think of penguins when you think of Africa, but the dark continent certainly has its fair share of our fine-feathered friends. You can find this semi-aquatic creature along the islands off the coast of Southwest Africa. • Speaking of creatures that are black and white, we can’t end this article without talking about our friend the Zebra. There are three species of zebra in Africa, and they can be found most prominently in the savannas of the eastern coast of the continent. Did you know that a zebra’s stripes are as individual as a gorilla’s fingerprints? Talk about unique. But we’re not the only ones who appreciate zebras: They are part of the Botswana coat of arms.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver

~ It was famed 20th-century Canadian-American economist John Kenneth Galbraith who made the following sage observation: “It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled sea of thought.” ~ In Switzerland, it’s considered to be bad luck to tell anyone your baby’s name before he or she is born. ~ It’s been estimated that, around the world, 16 million tons of rain fall every second. ~ Do you ever yawn just because you saw someone else do it? It seems that humans are the only animals so affected. ~ If you’ve spent a great deal of time in the Scottish highlands, you might be familiar with the term “sgiomlaireachd.” Evidently, the habit of dropping in at mealtimes is common enough there to require a word to describe it. ~ Statisticians claim that the more money a man makes, the more likely he is to cheat on his spouse. ~ Mascara was invented by a chemist named T.L. Williams, who founded the cosmetics company Maybelline. The original eyelash enhancer was composed of coal dust and Vaseline. ~ Before the iconic reclining armchair was dubbed “LaZ-Boy,” the names “Sit-N-Snooze,” “Slack Back” and “Comfort Carrier” were considered. ~ The first jugglers who were recorded in the history books were Egyptian. They also were women. ~ Deaf people who suffer from Tourette’s syndrome swear in sign language. ~ Those who study such things say that automatic teller machines are three times more likely to be robbed between 6 and 9 p.m. than at any other time of day. *** Thought for the Day: “If you’re not scared or angry at the thought of a human brain being controlled remotely, then it could be this prototype of mine is finally starting to work.” -- John Alejandro King (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

MUSIC LEGEND:

CAT STEVENS

If you’re just getting into his music, you’ll know him as Yusuf Islam, but if you’ve been a fan for years, Cat Stevens is no stranger to you. Sit back and relax as we fill your brain with facts about this legendary musician. • Steven Demetre Georgiou was born in London, England, on July 21, 1948. His father was from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus and his mother was from Sweden. • Georgiou developed a talent and love for music at an early age. At 15, he convinced his father, who owned and operated a restaurant, to buy him his first guitar for £8. • Georgiou was also a talented artist and spent one year at the Hammersmith School of Art where he considered becoming a cartoonist. While at Hammersmith, he developed his first musical pseudonym and went by Steve Adams when he performed. • Georgiou’s second stage name is his most memorable. In 1966, he recorded his first demo, under the name Cat Stevens. His demo immediately began climbing the charts and before long, Cat Stevens was touring with the likes of Jimi Hendrix. He was just 18 years old. • Over the next two years, he continued writing music, releasing his 1967 album “New Masters.” The album contained the song “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” which was most recently made famous by artist Sheryl Crow in 2003. It was also covered by Rod Stewart. • The hard-hitting pop star lifestyle took its toll on Stevens in 1969. After contracting tuberculosis, Stevens was admitted to the hospital with a collapsed lung. The illness kept Stevens in the hospital for months and out of public life for a year. • After his illness, Stevens’ musical sound underwent a notable change. He signed with a new record label in 1970. He released two more albums, but it was the second, “Tea for the Tillerman,” that truly gained Stevens international success. “Tea for the Tillerman” went on to sell three million copies and was No. 206 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list. • Stevens nearly drowned in 1976 while swimming off the coast of Malibu. Stevens considers this incident the beginning of his spiritual conversion. • It was his brother David that brought Stevens a copy of the Qur’an for his birthday. Stevens was immediately drawn to the book and as he read it, began his personal conversion to Islam. • Stevens formally converted to Islam on December 23, 1977. Afterwards, he changed his name to Yusuf Islam. Stevens always felt a connection to the name Joseph and the story of Joseph in the Qur’an. Yusuf is the Arabic rendering of the name Joseph. • After his conversion to Islam, Stevens only performed one more time before taking a 25year hiatus from music. • Yusuf Islam married his wife Fauzia Mubarak Ali in 1979, and together they have five children. • Yusuf released his most recent album, “Roadsinger,” in May of 2009. • Yusuf has always been recognized for his philanthropic and humanitarian works. In 2004, he was presented with the Man for Peace Award by Mikhail Gorbachev. But soon he’ll also be known for his music again. In September 2009, he announced his first tour dates in 33 years. Father son; Morning has broken; Wild world; Youve got a friend; Lady Darbanville; The First cut is the deepest; If you want to sing out sing out; Moonshadow are just a few hits.

A man was arrested for selling home-stilled whiskey. His lawyer put him on the stand and asked the jurors to look carefully at his client. "Now, Ladies and Gentleman of the jury," concluded the lawyer, "you've looked carefully at the defendant. Can you sit there in the jury box and honestly believe that if my client had ANY whiskey he would sell it?"

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

• On July 29, 1909, newly formed General Motors Corporation acquires the luxury automaker Cadillac Automobile Company for $4.5 million. In 1954, Cadillac was the first automaker to provide power steering and automatic windshield washers as standard equipment. • On July 26, 1931, a swarm of grasshoppers descends on crops throughout the American heartland, devastating millions of acres, especially in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The swarm was said to be so thick that it blocked out the sun and one could shovel the grasshoppers with a scoop. • On July 28, 1945, a United States B-25 Mitchell bomber crashes into the Empire State Building, killing 14 people. The freak accident was caused by heavy fog. The bomber was flying low, seeking better visibility, when it came upon the Chrysler Building. The plane swerved to avoid the building, but the move sent it straight into the north side of the Empire State Building, near the 79th floor. • On July 31, 1964, Ranger 7, an unmanned U.S. lunar probe, takes the first close-up images of the moon -- 4,308 in total. The images were 1,000 times clearer than anything ever seen through Earth-bound telescopes. • Aug 1, 1972, future President George Walker Bush is suspended from flying with the Texas Air National Guard for missing an annual medical examination.

Bobby the Iron Man Bobby Labonte, who won the (then) Winston Cup championship a decade ago, is now 31st in the Sprint Cup standings. Labonte left TRG Motorsports and finished 16th at Daytona in a Chevy entered by James Finch. The future is murky. What’s a nice guy like Labonte doing in a place like this? He’s a champion (both the Cup and what is now Nationwide). He’s even been a runner-up in both series. Labonte has won 21 Cup races and 26 poles. He’s 46 years old. “Our car was good for about 20 laps,” he said after the Coke Zero 400. “We kept track position for a while, then we got a ‘wave-around’ (back on the lead lap). We got involved in ‘the Big One’ (a 20-car pileup), and that was unfortunate for the team. It took out a lot of good cars, but we were lucky enough to not have too bad a damage to keep us from running strong at the end. All in all, it was OK.” Labonte will once again be in the No. 09 Chevrolet in Saturday night’s LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. After 11 seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing, Labonte moved to Petty Enterprises for three years, finishing 21st, 18th and 21st in the Cup point standings from 2006 through 2008. In 2009, he began the season with the Hall of Fame team, then moved to Kevin Buckler’s TRG team late in the year. Most would consider a victory in the 2000 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the single biggest victory of Labonte’s career. He has won six times at Atlanta Motor Speedway during his career, coupled with three victories each at Michigan and Pocono. Labonte was the Grand Marshal of the Coke Zero 400 and carried Coke Zero sponsorship in the race, which marked the 600th start of his Cup career. He is 20th all-time in that category, which is led by Richard Petty (1,185 races). “Wow, that’s a lot of racing,” said Labonte. “It’s just an honor and a privilege to be able to have that many races under my belt. There have been so many people who have helped me get to this point in my career. “I’m not racing just to hit milestones or anything like that. Like I’ve said before, I want to win and be competitive. Hitting 600 starts, it’s great, and hopefully, there will be a lot more, too.”

His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb.' 'Well put, ' the judge replied. 'Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses.' The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

More than 63.4 million Americans volunteered in their communities last year, according to the newly released Volunteering in America 2010 report. That equates to 8.1 billion hours of service. When it came to seniors, we weren’t slackers. More than 9 million of us age 65 and older contributed 1.6 billion hours. That’s more than 23 percent of us. The top four categories for our efforts were collection/distribution of food, fundraising, professional/management and general labor. All this work must have come to someone’s attention, because the Senior Corp program has been awarded grants totaling more than $1.2 million. It hopes to train 4,000 more volunteers for some specific projects: mentoring children, independent-living support for other seniors, energy efficiency and more. There are three Senior Corps programs: --RSVP covers a lot of ground. Volunteers work to help teen parents, build houses, tutor children, plant gardens, assist new business owners, help in natural disasters and much more. Volunteers get training and supplemental insurance while they work. --Foster Grandparents help teenagers and young mothers care for premature infants and children with disabilities, and tutor children in reading. Volunteers might work at school or youth centers, and some are eligible for an hourly stipend that is tax-free. --Senior Companions help other seniors -- including frail adults or those with disabilities or terminal illnesses -- live independently, which allows them to remain in their own homes. Some volunteers run errands or give the caregiver a short respite. Volunteers receive training, a small stipend and supplemental insurance. Want to know more?

I lay silently beside you, breathless to the world I told myself that I would never do this again Old habits make it impossible to set yourself free Even comfort and fit seem like a harbinger of doom You have fearfully sensed our love changing to gloom Putting extra effort into mending our broken dreams Creating my dilemma that layers the pain across the grain So why did I let myself be drawn deeper into that abyss A meal, a kiss, everything a condemned man would wish We repeated this dance as we have several times before Each time I left your arms promising myself no more Now holding you close I struggle with your piece of my heart Going in different directions it was an accident from the start Now I have lingered at our diverging crossroads too long Our shared path will only be a few steps in our lives So silently and breathless I wrestle to hide the pain

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● Don’t throw away your old colander; give it to the kids to use in the sandbox or bathtub. ● “To hurry along stubborn ice patches when defrosting a freezer, fill a bulb syringe with hot water and squirt the ice to melt it.” -- W.J. in California ● “To eliminate static cling when wearing stockings, rub legs lightly with a fabric-softener sheet.” -- V.T. in Delaware ● For a better grip on baby during bath time, grab a pair of cotton gloves from the nail-care section of the drugstore. They are very lightweight, and can double as a washcloth. They also dry quickly when clipped to the shower curtain with a clothespin. ● “Remove rust from a car bumper with cola and foil. Crumble up a piece of aluminum foil and dip it in a plain cola, like Coke. Rub out the rust.” -- O.P. in Virginia ● “When using a recipe card, put it into a plastic bag and seal the bag. This way, no splatters or mess from your hands can damage the card. You can feel free to handle it, and it can go back into the recipe box clean as a whistle.” -- T.D. in Washington ● When making stuffed peppers, try placing the peppers in a muffin tin. They are stable and stand upright with ease. Simply place each pepper in a well and bake. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service,
