YELLOWSTONE TIDBITS® VISITS
At 2.2 million acres, Yellowstone National Park is larger than states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. If you set out to hike the boundary of the park, you’ll walk about 300 miles. Join Tidbits as we take a look at some of the unusual features of the park. • Yellowstone is actually the caldera of an ancient super-volcano that’s still active. The eruption of the Yellowstone volcano two million years ago left a hole in the ground larger than the state of Rhode Island.
HUGE Mattress Blowout!
• Yellowstone is one of about 30 volcanic hotspots on the planet. At other places on the planet, as continental plates drift over the top of hotspots, they form chains of islands such as the Galapagos Islands, and Azores, the Aleutians, and the Hawaiian Islands. The Yellowstone hotspot is the only hotspot that’s located in the middle of a continent, possibly because there was a natural weakness in the crust or perhaps because a huge meteorite punched a hole through the crust like a pipeline. The hotspot stays in one place while the continent slides over the top of it, like a rug being dragged over a rock.

• There are an estimated 10,000 thermal features in the park including hot pools, fumaroles, mud pots, and seeps. Only about three percent of Yellowstone’s thermal features are geysers, defined as hot water that spurts forcefully out of the ground. In fact, there are only six geysers that erupt 100 feet or higher on a regular daily basis. • Upper Geyser Basin (home of Old Faithful) contains the densest concentration of geysers in the world. About 25% of the world’s geysers are located in this two square mile area. One area of the basin has 140 geysers concentrated in a single square mile. In total, Yellowstone has about 300 active geysers, more than anywhere else on the planet.

• About 85 percent of the more than 3 million visitors to Yellowstone annually will see Old Faithful erupt before they leave the park, about 25,000 people daily during summer. • Old Faithful is not the tallest geyser, nor the hottest, and it does not discharge the most water. It is not the most regular, but it does erupt on a predictable basis 20 to 23 times daily, about once every 74 minutes.

• Largest Selection of Fresh & Marine Fish
• Old Faithful spews about 8,500 gallons of water every eruption. That’s enough water in to supply a typical American with water for 85 days, at the rate of 100 gallons per day.

• At Norris Geyser Basin, magma is nearer to the surface than any other place in the park. When you drill a deep hole in the crust of the earth, the temperature increases the farther down you go. Normally, this temperature increase is fairly constant: 1.4 F for every 100 feet down. However, a hole drilled in Norris Geyser Basin showed that the temperature increased 89 times faster, at the rate of 124 F for every 100 feet down. Therefore, water that trickles down heats up rapidly as it descends.

YELLOWSTONE (continued):
• Next to Old Faithful, Morning Glory Pool may be the single thermal feature most often visited by tourists. Long ago, the hot spring was so hot that no algae grew in it, and so the clear water reflected the blue sky. Then people began throwing things into the water, partially clogging the vent and causing the water temperature to drop. This allowed algae to grow, spoiling the reflective effect. In 1950 rangers decided to clean the crater. They lowered the water level, which induced the spring to erupt as a geyser. Items regurgitated by the spring included $86.27 in pennies, logs, bottles, tin cans, 76 hankies, towels, socks, shirts, and underwear. In all, 112 items were removed from the throat of the spring, which improved the color of the pool considerably.

• Yellowstone produces 3.3 million acre-feet of water every year, making it one of the richest sources of water in the West. Because a single acre-foot is enough to serve the needs of a typical family of four, that’s enough to supply the needs of 13 million people, or about the population of Illinois. The four trillion gallons of water that pour out of Yellowstone each year would be enough to fill Lake Superior 12 times. Twelve major rivers originate in the Greater Yellowstone area, including four very large ones: the Snake River, the Missouri River, the Yellowstone River, and the Green River.

YELLOWSTONE (continued):
Unusual Features • Twin Lakes are two lakes connected by a small inlet near a geyser basin. One lake is blue; the other is green. One lake is cool and other is hot, so their varied kinds of algae make them different colors. In the autumn, one lake freezes before the other one. • Two Ocean Creek splits in half in the middle of a meadow, with one half of the creek running into the Yellowstone River and going down the eastern side of the Continental Divide into the Gulf of Mexico, and the other half running into the Snake River on the west side, ending up in the Pacific Ocean. One is called Atlantic Creek; the other is called Pacific Creek. There are no other places on earth where a single creek drains into two oceans. • Yellowstone Lake has an underwater geyser. Once every 25 minutes, the water roils and boils when this submerged geyser erupts about 20 feet below the surface. Researchers sent an underwater video camera into this spot to see what was happening. They found that trout regularly patrol the area, feeding on clouds of tiny crustaceans and aquatic insects stirred up by the eruptions. The feature was dubbed The Trout Jacuzzi. • The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is 20 miles long, 1,500 to 4,000 feet wide, and up to 1,500 feet deep. If you hike all the way to the bottom of the canyon and all the way back up again, it would be equal to taking the stairs to the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago (formerly known as the Sears Tower) which is the tallest building in North America, and then back down again. The hike has been described as “five miles in and 35 miles out.” • In Norris Geyser Basin you’ll find Geezer Geyser, named by smart-alecks in 1974. • Constant Geyser in Norris was named by some sarcastic wit because it erupts at completely irregular and unpredictable intervals, and the eruption lasts all of five seconds.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On Jan. 6, 1759, a 26-year-old George Washington marries Martha Dandridge Custis. Historical documents have revealed that Martha may not have been the great love of Washington's life. He wrote cryptic yet passionate love letters to Sally Fairfax, the wife of his friend George Fairfax. ● On Jan. 1, 1863, a farmer named Daniel Freeman submits the first claim under the new Homestead Act for a property near Beatrice, Neb. By the 1890s, many homesteaders found that farming 160 acres of such dry land was nearly impossible. At least half of the original homesteaders abandoned their claims. ● On Jan. 3, 1924, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his workers discover the solid-gold coffin holding the mummy of the boy-king Pharaoh Tutankhamen, preserved for more than 3,000 years.
● On Jan. 5, 1945, Japanese pilots receive the first order to become kamikaze, meaning "divine wind" in Japanese. Most of Japan's top pilots were dead, but youngsters needed little training to take planes full of explosives and crash them into ships. At Okinawa, they sank 30 ships and killed almost 5,000 Americans. ● On Jan. 4, 1965, in his State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson lays out for Congress a list of legislation needed to achieve his plan for a Great Society. His list included the creation of Medicare/ Medicaid, Head Start, the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A worldwide study has concluded that there really is a relationship between diet and the risk of cardiovascular disease for patients who are taking drugs for prevention of secondary events. More than 31,000 high-risk seniors in 40 countries were assessed for quality of diet. A higher-quality diet resulted in a lower risk of recurring cardiovascular events in people age 55 and older who are already taking medication for cardiovascular disease or who have diabetes. Here's the big news: The risk of dying from a heart-related event was reduced by 35 percent. A healthy diet also meant a 14 percent lower risk for new heart attacks, a 28 percent reduction in risk for congestive heart failure and 19 percent cut in risk for stroke. In other words, taking medication for cholesterol and blood pressure isn't enough. The same goes for beta blockers, aspirin and other medications commonly prescribed for cardiovascular disease. We have to eat right to promote heart health. Diet should emphasize vegetables, fruits and grains, and more fish than meat. Ask your doctor if the American Heart Association diet is appropriate for you. It includes: Fruits and vegetables: At least 4.5 cups/ day Oily fish: Two 3.5-ounce servings/week Whole grains: Three 1-ounce servings/ day Sodium: Less than 1,500 mg/day Nuts, legumes, seeds: At least four servings/week Sugared drinks: No more than 36 ounces/ week Processed meats: No more than two servings/week Saturated fat: Less than 7 percent of total intake.

CLINTON ODELL
January 2nd 2013
December 22– January 19 Woohoo, Capricorn. It’s a brand new year, and motivation is at an alltime high. Reach for the stars. There is nothing you can’t accomplish this week.
Crabby Cancer. That’s what people will think of you this week unless you change your tune. Take a break from the action to refresh your spirits.
January 20– February 18
July 23– August 22
Drat, Aquarius. Plans you made some time ago fall through, and you’re not sure what to do next. An old pal drops by with a tantalizing offer. Take them up on it.
February 19– March 20
June 22– July 22
Oh boy, Leo. Lady luck is on your side, and great changes are in store. Go with the flow and enjoy whatever comes your way. A memo picks up the pace.
August 23– September 22
Perk up, Pisces. You’re more resourceful than you realize. Look at the situation from another angle, and a solution will arise. Thanks will be abundant..
Vigilance, Virgo. Pay attention to what is going around you, even if it does not directly involve you. Something is amiss, and you need to find out what.
March 21– April 19
September 23– October 22
Go ahead and pull out all of the stops, Aries. This could be your one and only chance to make an impression. A youngster asks a question. Be honest.
April 20– May 20
Uh-uh-uh, Taurus. Now is not the time to splurge on something so frivolous. Take the plunge later when there will be more to spare. A relative comes calling.
May 21– June 21
Golden Gemini. You have the magic touch, and people around you are starting to notice. Prepare for many opportunities to come your way, some better than others.
Confession time, Libra. What’s done is done, and the sooner you admit to that fact and pay the piper, the better off you will be. A deadline is extended.
October 23– November 21
Shucks, Scorpio. You always put in 110%, and everyone knows it. Stop questioning what more you could have done and start focusing on what has yet to be done.
November 22– December 21
Make no mistake, Sagittarius. There is a wrinkle, but it is not yours to iron out. A series of miracles at home gets the ball rolling on a project of long ago.
Clinton Odell was an attorney in Minneapolis in the 1920s. His father spent his time mixing up batches of a healing liniment called BurmaVita; Burma because that’s where most of the ingredients came from, and Vita for the Latin word for life. One day Clinton’s aunt burned herself badly. She spread Burma-Vita on the wound. It healed so well without scarring that Clinton decided to drop law and go into the Burma-Vita business instead. • What he soon found was that the only people who bought Burma-Vita were people who were sick or had wounds. Clinton decided what he needed was a product that people needed all the time. He considered a brushless shaving cream. In those days, shaving meant using a mug, a damp brush, and a razor. How do you keep a brush wet without it moldering? How do you pack a wet brush in a suitcase? Brushless shaving cream was the answer, but the only brushless shaving creams were sticky and gummy. • Then, a chemist of his acquaintance named Carl Norton got sick with what was thought to be a fatal illness. Clinton sent him money and wished him well. A year later, the recovered chemist walked through Clinton’s door to thank him, and to ask if he could do anything for him in return. Clinton asked, “Can you make a better brushless shaving cream?” and Carl went to work. • Two years later, after nearly 300 attempts and 300 failed recipes, Clinton happened to pick up a leftover jar of Recipe #43 and it worked. Burma-Shave was born. • Clinton’s sons became the company salesmen. One day his son was on his way to make a sales call when he passed a set of signs advertising a service station: Gas, Oil, Restrooms, Coffee, etc. Why couldn’t shaving cream be marketed the same way? The Burma-Shave sign idea was born. • With boards and paint, the first sets of Burma-Shave signs were made up. They mostly consisted of marketing claims: “Shave the modern way / Fine for the skin / Druggists have it / Burma-Shave.” With their first series of a dozen signs set up around the country, the company started getting their first repeat orders. It was 1926. But Clinton decided the signs needed to be snappy. • With rhyme and humor, Burma-Shave signs were soon sprouting across the country. Someone once commented that it was as difficult to read one Burma-Shave sign as it was to eat one salted peanut. When six signs were planted 100 paces apart, it took 18 seconds at 35 m.p.h. to read the series— far more time than print advertising could expect. Even cars travelling in the other direction posted someone to read the signs out the back window. • Clinton wrote the jingles himself for years. When he began to run dry of ideas, contests brought in entries, sometimes 50,000 at a time. With 7,000 sets of signs across the nation, business boomed. • In 1963, the company was sold to Philip Morris, Inc. The new owners decided to spend their advertising money in other areas, and across the country the signs were removed. Later, the Smithsonian Institute asked for a set. The Odell family sent this one: “Within this vale / Of toil and sin / Your head grows bald / But not your chin.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● Only one-fifth of homes in America are not air-conditioned. In the sweltering South, a mere 5 percent lack that vital amenity. ● Those who study such things say that the wind power in an average hurricane is equivalent to 1.5 trillion watts. That’s the same amount of power that is generated by fully half of the entire world’s generating capacity. ● The works of Agatha Christie have been translated more times into other languages than those of any other author in history.

Q: I was putting away my ladder after hanging up lights when it slipped and fell against the front window. One of the panes cracked all the way up. It’s an older window, and I don’t think I’ll be able to get a repair service in this late in the holiday season. How can I fix it? -- A Reader, via email A: Believe it or not, the newer, double-paned windows can take longer to fix than older ones. So, you’re in luck. Because you have an older, single-pane window with multiple panes, replacing a single pane can be pretty easy. Here’s what you’ll need for the job: a replacement pane of glass, glazier’s points, glazing compound or putty, wood primer, small paintbrush, needlenose pliers, a screwdriver or chisel, a small putty knife, sturdy work gloves, eye protection, a hammer, masking tape, sandpaper and a tape measure. Measure the size of the windowpane opening before heading to the home improvement or window specialty store. Purchase a replacement pane that is about 1/8 inch smaller than the length and width of the opening. This is a good time to purchase the glazier’s points, putty, primer and any tools you’ll need, too. First, remove the window sash from the frame and lay it down on a towel or old cloth. Keep heat inside the house by closing the storm window or taping a sheet of plastic around the frame. Next, carefully remove the cracked glass. You’ll need to break the pane to get it out, so put on gloves and eye protection and put a strip of masking tape on both sides of the cracked glass pane. Carefully tap the cracked pane with a hammer until it breaks. Tap pieces downward onto the protective cloth, then carefully pull shards out of the panel frame, as well as any old glazier’s points (discard them). Use a screwdriver or chisel to carefully remove old glazing compound from the frame, then sand the area smooth and clean away debris. To finish prepping the frame, put a coat of wood primer (preferably fast-drying) over the sanded area. This will help the glazing compound last longer. Once the primer is dry, test-fit your replacement glass, then remove. Roll out a very thin rope of glazing compound around the wood frame. (You also could use clear silicone caulk at this point, as it’s an extra step to ensure a water-resistant seal.) Carefully press the replacement glass into place. Next, put new glazier’s points into place. These secure the pane in place firmly. Press the pointed end into the wooden frame about two inches from each corner, then use a screwdriver to press them in firmly. Finish sealing the windowpane by rolling out another rope of glazing compound. Press this into the seam between the windowpane and the wood frame. Use your putty knife to really push it in there, and then smooth down the compound. Clean accidental globs of compound or primer from the glass with mineral spirits or turpentine.

● To stretch your laundry budget, cut fabric softener sheets in half. They work just as well. Also, save them after they come out of the dryer. They make excellent dusters in the home. ● Love Sudoku puzzles? M.K. of Montana suggests that you might love it even more if you color code your grid. Each number 1-9 is assigned a color, and you solve the puzzle as normal, excepting you color in the box to denote your answer. When it's all finished, she says, "it looks like a colorful quilt." 725 North Center Point Rd., Hiawatha, IA 319-365-6901

● "Cornstarch is great for itchy, rashy skin. This is true for babies' bottoms and for doggy bellies, which is what I use it for. My pup is allergic to grass but loves to romp. Sometimes his belly gets red, and I clean it with a mild soap and water, then give him a cornstarch rub. It sure helps." -- T.W. in Ohio ● Want to keep your cut flowers fresh longer?

● If the vegetables you're cooking give off an unpleasant smell, grab a small saucepan and simmer a bit of plain vinegar while cooking. It will negate the smell, and leave your house smelling pleasantly like mealtime afterward.

The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has a long and illustrious history of providing exceptional entertainment at a great price to the people of Cedar Rapids and the surrounding area. The CRCCA began in 1930 as a new way to offer top-name entertainers to smaller cities. Rather than hiring the act and then, hopefully, selling enough tickets to pay for the act, community concert associations would raise the money first through memberships, and then secure a season of concerts in advance. Many communities had adopted this same philosophy during the Depression years. At that time, there were 42 community concert associations in the country. But even the Great Depression could not deter the need for quality live entertainment. Food for the soul was as important as food on the table, and by 1940, 335 community concert associations were actively answering that need. Through the years, the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has hosted such top name popular, jazz and classical acts as Nelson Eddy, Yehudi Menuhin, Boston Pops, Joffrey Theater Ballet, and Tommy Dorsey, as well as symphony orchestras from major cities and gifted performers from around the world – all at a price everyone could afford. Community concert members pay one low price for the entire season. In the 1950’s, a general membership was only $3.00. As with everything, though, prices have risen through the years. The CRCCA’s first concert season cost $3,300 total. The 2008-2009 season budgeted over $52,000 for five acts, with additional costs for the venue. Best family entertainment value for 82 years, the CRCCA offers quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Get five live concerts for one low price? All five concerts just $40 for general seating, $55 for reserved section, or $80 general section seating for the whole family. For more information and membership details, visit www.crcommunityconcerts.org or call (319)540-2301.

CROWS & RAVENS
The class of birds known scientifically as corvidae includes crows, ravens, magpies, and jays. In each of these species, the brain to body ratio equals that of dolphins, and nearly matches our own. These are the brainiacs of the bird family, smarter than eagles, hawks, and owls. • A scientist put an animal carcass out where ravens could find it, then broadcast over a loudspeaker the typical call a raven will give to alert others that it has found a source of food. Twenty seconds later, a single raven flew to the carcass, inspected it, and left. Two minutes later, 29 ravens were gathered around. They also flew off, but the next morning 40 ravens gathered around the carcass and then they began to feed. Ravens prefer to feed in groups around carcasses to better protect them from coyotes and other carnivores that may also be feeding there. • Ravens that have found a complete carcass are unable to open it to reach the meat. They have been known to go in search of wolves, coyotes, or even a person, guiding it back to the meat by circling and calling so that it can have a chance to eat scraps. • Researchers watching crows drop snail shells on rocks to crack them open later determined that the height the crows dropped them from was exactly the height needed to crack them open. To drop them from a lesser distance would have meant wasted energy when they failed to open; to drop them from a greater height also wasted energy by extra flying and increased the chances the snail would roll into the water. The crows also dipped the snail into the water to wash away annoying bits of shell that clung to the meat. • Ravens seem to have “names” for each other and when separated will call out for each other. • One crow, unable to break open tasty acorns, solved the problem by dropping them on a street and waiting until a car ran over them. • A man once tossed crackers to a raven until the raven was full. The raven wanted to take more crackers back to its cache, but it could pick up only one cracker at a time in its beak. By the time it got back to collect the next cracker, other critters would have stolen the food. The man was astonished to see the raven solve the dilemma by tucking the crackers side by side into a snowbank. When several were lined up together, the raven was able to pick them all up at one time like a stack of nickels and fly off with them all. • A crow was watching ice fishermen. It saw the men bait the hooks, drop the line into the hole in the ice, then wait until a signal flag bobbed, indicating a fish was on the line. Then they’d haul up the line and collect the fish. While the fishermen were occupied at other holes, the crow watched the flag bob at another hole. It tried to pull the line up by grasping it in its beak, but it couldn’t pull the line up far enough. So it pulled the line as far onto the ice as it could, then stood on it to keep it from slipping back into the water. It walked on the line back to the fishing hole, where it grasped the line in its beak once again and backed up. It did this over and over until the fish flopped out onto the ice. • A crow being attacked by a falcon got away when it flew between two strands of barbed-wire fence. The falcon had a wider wing-span and was caught in the wire. • Researchers have identified about 300 crow “words,” yet one crow cannot understand the dialect of crows from a different area.
