SOLAR SYSTEM (continued):

• Our solar system only has eight planets. Not the nine planets you grew up with. That’s because the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006. • To qualify as a planet, an object needs to orbit the sun, have enough mass to pull itself into a spherical shape, and have cleared out its orbit of other material. It’s this third requirement that Pluto hasn’t fulfilled. Pluto is a fraction of the mass in its orbit, while the other planets are millions of times more massive than everything else in their orbits. • Pluto may have been downgraded from planet to dwarf planet, but guess what? It’s not the only dwarf planet found in our solar system. Three others have been discovered: Ceres, Eris and Makemake. Dwarf planets are objects that orbit the sun and have enough mass to form a sphere, but they share their orbit with other objects. As telescopes improve, more dwarf planets will probably be discovered. There might eventually be more dwarf planets than planets. • Unlike Earth, Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, so its density is only 0.13 that of Earth. While it has heavier materials in the core, it is the only planet in the solar system that is less dense than water. • Titan is the largest of Saturn’s moons. It is the second largest moon in the solar system. In fact, it is larger than both Mercury and Pluto. • Scientists are particularly interested in Titan because it’s one of the few known moons with its own dense atmosphere. Titan’s atmosphere is also thought to be very similar to what Earth’s atmosphere was a long time ago. By learning about Titan, we’ll learn about our own planet.

• Examples of ancient Rome’s contribution to space science are the names of the planets. The association of certain planets with certain attributes of gods or goddesses harkens back to the Sumerians, but Roman names were directly appropriated. Examples are Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn.

Saturn’s moon Hyperion is shaped sort of like a hamburger patty and rotates chaotically, probably due to a recent collision. The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Sometimes called minor planets, asteroids are rocky objects that are the remnants of the solar system when it formed. Over 90,000 asteroids of various sizes have been found by scientists. Often referred to as the “final frontier” of the solar system, the Kuiper Belt, which is a discshaped area made up of icy debris, is located at a distance of 7.5- 9.3 billion miles (12 -15 billion kilometers) from the sun. Ancient astronomers used to think the Earth was the center of the universe. It wasn’t until the 16th century that Nicolaus Copernicus first presented the idea that the sun was at the center, not the Earth. All the objects in the solar system orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise direction. This matches the theory that the solar system formed all at once from a cool cloud of hydrogen. As the gas came together, it began to spin, so that the sun collected in the middle, surrounded by an accretion disk of gas and dust. All the planets and other material in the solar system formed within this rotating disk. Our sun is a typical star, middling in size, but big enough to burn steadily for 10 billion years. How big is our sun? It has a diameter of 864,000 miles (1,391,000 kilometers), and more than one million Earths could fit into the sun. It is located 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth.

roadrunnercr.com Q: Which planet is like a circus? A: Saturn, it has three rings.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

•

By Samantha Weaver

• It was American author, producer, screenwriter and director Michael Crichton who made the following sage observation: “Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.” • Statistics show that more babies are born in September than in any other month of the year. • Talk about bad luck: In May of 2009, two thieves broke into a jewelry store in Milwaukee, bagged up their loot and tried to make their getaway. On the way out of the looted store, they were confronted by two more thieves, who took the ill-gotten gains. No one ended up profiting from the crime, however; all four were arrested.

•

SOLAR SYSTEM (continued): The sun contains 99.8 percent of the mass in the solar system. And the sun is approximately 72 percent hydrogen, so most of the matter in the solar system is hydrogen, with the remaining amount being mostly helium, oxygen and carbon. Everything else, like metals and rocks, is just a tiny fraction of a fraction of the solar system’s mass. The heat the sun gives us derives from nuclear fusion at its core. There are only a few stars within 10 light-years of our sun. The closest Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years away. Barnard’s Star is 5.9 lightyears away; Wolf 359 is 7.8 light-years away; Lalande 21185 is 8.3 light-years away; Sirius is 8.6 light-years away; Luyten 726-8 is 8.7 lightyears away; and finally Ross 154 is 9.7 lightyears away. The sun is just one star in 200 billion in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Doesn’t that give you perspective? Our world is just one planet orbiting one star in a galaxy of 200 billion stars. So, are we alone? Astronomers now estimate that the universe contains roughly trillions of stars organized into billions of galaxies. Spacecraft from Earth have visited or orbited every planet in the solar system, and more are on their way to visit some of the dwarf planets. Man has explored the sun, the moon and many asteroids. And now some of the oldest spacecraft still active — NASA’s Voyager spacecrafts — have almost reached the sun’s heliosphere.

• According to an estimate by the United Nations, there are more than 3 million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. • You may have heard of the turducken -- a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey -- but you probably didn’t know that a chef in the United Kingdom took the idea of nested fowl several steps further. Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall stuffed a woodcock inside a pigeon, inside a partridge, inside a pheasant, inside a chicken, inside a guineafowl, inside a mallard, inside a duck, inside a goose, inside a turkey. No word on how the 10-layer dish was carved for serving. • If you’re not the sort of person who makes the bed every day, here’s some good news for you: Researchers in the United Kingdom have found that unmade beds are less likely to harbor dust mites, a common cause of asthma and allergic symptoms. *** Thought for the Day: “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” -Rene Descartes (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Vitamin D Is Vital for Bone Health Nearly half of patients who go in for orthopedic surgery are seriously deficient in vitamin D, according to a recent study. Being deficient in that vitamin compromised healing. Maybe if the patients had enough vitamin D to begin with, they wouldn’t have needed surgery in the first place. The D vitamin is essential for bone health and muscle function. It helps the body absorb calcium and can help ward off osteoporosis. There are three ways we can get enough vitamin D: exposure to the sun, eating certain foods and taking supplements. Most foods don’t have a lot of the vitamin, but these do in varying amounts: fortified orange juice, many types of fish, eggs and dairy products, and some cereals. Sunlight is tricky, especially in the winter. According to a fact sheet by the National Institutes of Health, those of us living above the 42nd parallel (approximately above a straight line from Boston to Northern California) likely don’t get enough sunlight from November to February to produce synthesis. Additionally, we seniors can’t synthesize sun-induced vitamin D as well as we once could. Supplements are tricky, too. The amount of vitamin D needed on a daily basis is apparently up for debate. Different sources quote different amounts needed for bone strength. Too much is as bad as too little. Best bet: Write down everything you eat for a week, including drinks, and take it to your doctor. Ask if you’re getting enough vitamin D in your diet alone, or if you need a supplement or a diet addition. If you’re scheduled for surgery, ask your doctor for a vitamin D test first to make sure your levels are in the right range.

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs. "I PRAY FOR A BICYCLE...I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO...I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR..." His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf." To which the little brother replied, "No, but Gramma is!"

It made me feel great that day since I still have another 30 years to get there. That evening, several police cars where on our block, when I walked to the end of the driveway, one pulled up and asked if I had seen anyone running through the yards from across the street? He then gave the description of the person who was an older man in his mid forties. I went to bed that night not feeling as young as I did just a few hours earlier.

Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939) is an American singer and actress whose career has spanned more than 50 years. She has won numerous awards, and her achievements in the rock music genre have earned her the title “The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” • Born to a share-cropping family in the segregated South, Anna Mae Bullock and her elder sister were raised by their grandparents. Anna Mae eventually moved to St. Louis to reunite with her mother. • In St. Louis, Bullock attended Sumner High School. At this time, Bullock’s sister was taking her to several nightclubs in the city. One night, Bullock met Mississippi-born rhythm and blues musician Ike Turner and later asked him if she could sing for him. Ike was initially skeptical, but after much persistence on Bullock’s part, he decided to let her sing. And the rest is history. • Going by the name “Little Ann,” Bullock was soon the lead singer in a soul revue led by Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm band. • When the singer that was to record “A Fool In Love” failed to turn up for the session, Ike Turner drafted Bullock to provide the vocal with the intention of removing it later. However, once he heard her spine-tingling performance of the song, he changed his plans. He changed her name to Tina Turner, and when the record became a hit, Tina became a permanent fixture in Ike’s band and his quest for international stardom. • After they married, Ike and Tina Turner recorded a string of hits in the 1960s, including “A Fool in Love,” “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine,” “I Idolize You” and the groundbreaking “River Deep, Mountain High” with producer Phil Spector. • By the end of the decade, Ike and Tina incorporated modern rock styles into their act and began including their interpretations of “Come Together,” “Honky Tonk Woman” and “I Want to Take You Higher” in their stage show. • “Proud Mary,” the duo’s interpretation of the Credence Clearwater Revival hit, was the duo’s greatest commercial success, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1971. The single eventually won a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. • Many believed that after Turner broke with Ike, she would not return to the music scene. Tina proved otherwise, when she, with the help of Roger Davies, her Australian manager, released her multi-platinum and Grammy-winning album in 1984, “Private Dancer,” with her biggest hits “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” and “Better Be Good to Me.” • Turner in the movies: Following Turner’s success in 1984, she starred in the film, “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,” and recorded the film’s soundtrack as well, which produced the international hit, “We Don’t Need Another Hero.” • Turner was listed on Rolling Stone’s list “The Immortals — The Greatest Artists of All Time.” She is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and two of her recordings, “River Deep - Mountain High” (1999) and “Proud Mary” (2003), are in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Turner has won eight Grammy Awards • Tina Turner is one of the top-selling music artists of all time, with record sales estimated at around 200 million copies.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!

Television Quiz Shows

Television quiz shows have been around as long as television itself. Actually, quiz shows pre-date TV and were a popular form of entertainment on radio. • “Major Bowes’ Original Amateur Hour” was one of the first national radio programs to feature contestants competing for prizes. Other early radio quiz shows included “Professor Quiz” (CBS 1936), which awarded $25 cash prizes to anyone who could stump the professor. A large number of quiz shows appeared on radio in 1937 and 1938. “Pot ‘O Gold” (NBC 1939) gave $1,000 to anyone who answered a telephone call during the show. • The 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Federal Communications Commission vs. American Broadcasting Co., Inc. 347 U.S. 284, said that quiz shows were not a form of gambling. This paved the way for their introduction to television. • On June 7, 1955. CBS TV premiered “The $64,000 Question,” the biggest jackpot program in radio-TV history up to that time. With host Hal March, the Tuesday night program drew an amazing 84.8 percent share of the TV audience, a feat unheard of these days. Marine Captain Richard S. McCutchen became a national celebrity as an expert on cooking. Joyce Brothers would star as an expert on boxing. • Herb Stempel’s scripted loss on “TwentyOne” to the more-popular Charles Van Doren occurred on December 5, 1956, and involved his deliberately getting the answer to a question about an Academy Award-winning movie wrong. (The correct answer was “Marty,” one of Stempel’s favorite movies.) • After his loss, Stempel blew the whistle on the operation. Initially, he was dismissed as a sore loser. More evidence of the fix came from “Twenty-One” contestant James Snodgrass, who had sent registered letters to himself containing the advance answers. Such evidence was irrefutable. • Quiz shows all but disappeared from prime time American television for decades. Those that continued to air had substantially reduced prizes, and many shows adopted limits on the number of games a player could win (usually five). Quiz shows became game shows, shifting focus from knowledge to puzzles and word games. A quiz for big money would not return until ABC premiered “100 Grand” in 1963; it went off the air after just three weeks. • Today, “Jeopardy!” is a popular international television game show, originally devised by Merv Griffin, who also created “Wheel of Fortune.” • Merv Griffin’s first idea for “Jeopardy!” used a board comprising 10 categories with 10 clues each, but after finding that this board could not be filmed easily, he reduced it to two rounds of 30 clues, with five clues each in six categories. Early on, Griffin discarded his original name for the show, “What’s the Question?” after a network executive suggested that the game “needed more jeopardies.” • “Jeopardy!” first aired on NBC from 1964 to 1975 and again from 1978 to 1979. Its most successful incarnation is the current Alex Trebek-hosted syndicated version, which has aired continuously since September 1984. • “Wheel of Fortune” first aired in 1975 on daytime network television. The current version has been syndicated in prime time since September 19, 1983. Its 28th season premiered in 2010. It is the longest-running syndicated game show in American television history.

How To Select The Right Real Estate Agent By Doris Black When selling your home, you need to give careful consideration to choosing the right real estate agent. You need a real estate agent who will actively pursue getting your house as much exposure as possible. What’s the best way to do that? Through communication.

Interview several agents before signing a contract. When searching for the best person to represent you, ask point blank what they will do to sell your home. LisSNOW REMOVAL exp 11/30/10 w/ this ad ten to their presentations and make note of those who are willing to go that extra mile. Some agents will tell you exactly what you want to hear in order to get your listing. For example, they may quickly agree to whatever listing price you suggest just to get the contract. Don’t fall into that trap because later on you may have to reduce the price. A good agent will know your neighborhood and the recent selling prices of similar homes in your neighborhood. Listen to their advice—that’s why you’re hiring them. Don’t choose an agent who tells you they’ll hold an open house every weekend until it’s sold. Studies have shown that most homes are not sold through open houses to the general public. In reality, open houses offer the agent an opportunity to make further contacts and to find out who else may be getting ready to put their home on the market, thus giving them access to possible listings. Don’t fall prey to the agent who brags that they sell more properties than any other agent in their company. This sounds good on the surface, but the person you’re looking for is the agent who sold the most homes from the ones they had listed. The person who sold 20 out of 20 homes in three months is the agent you want, not the one who sold 25 out of 40. Even if you have a friend or relative who is a real estate agent, it may not be the wisest course of action to let them handle your house. Remember the old saying about not working with your family?

8.5 Foot Setting

Every agent will tell you that they’ll put a sign in your yard, hold open houses and list your home in the MLS® (Multiple Listing Service), but you want more than that. Agent only open houses will expose your property to the key people at all the local realty companies. They may ask your permission to offer the buyer’s agent an extra bonus, like an extra 1/2 percent commission. This is a great way to get the attention of every agent in town focused on your property. As a savvy seller, you should be quick to agree. The successful agent who uses this exposure method can also assist you through the entire selling process: preparing your home for sale, negotiating price and closing the deal.

Remember, the goal when selling is to get as many people talking about your property as possible. Hot properties, priced right, sell quickly, never making it to the MLS. That’s what you want and will get by choosing the right agent. Once you’ve found the right agent, ask for at least three references whom you can call. Selling your home is a big step and you don’t want to entrust that to just anyone. After you have found an agent you like, sign the contract, get the boxes ready and start the packing.
