• January 7 is Harlem Globetrotters’ Day, remembering the first game the famous basketball team played on that day in 1927. They traveled 48 miles west from their Chicago home to play a game in Hinckley, Illinois. The team was the brainstorm of Chicago businessman Abe Saperstein during a time when only whites were permitted to play professional basketball. The team had nothing to do with the New York City borough of Harlem. Abe chose the name to emphasize the team’s ethnic heritage. The Globetrotters didn’t even play their first game in Harlem until the late 1960s! Since their creation, they have played in front of 120 million fans in more than 115 countries.

• January 10 is Save the Eagles Day, reminding us of the importance of protecting the world’s 70 species of eagles from extinction. Eagles can be found on every continent except Antarctica. America’s national emblem, the bald eagle, inhabits every state except Hawaii. This enormous bird can have a wing span of up to 8 feet and weigh 15 lbs. Surprisingly, it is monogamous and mates for its entire 15- to 20-year lifespan.

• The name Margaret Gorman is probably not familiar to most folks, but she is notable as the first Miss America, winner of the pageant in 1920. Originally initiated as a local Atlantic City festival in an attempt to extend the tourism season past Labor Day, the event became was not known as the Miss America Pageant until 1922. Miss America Day is now in January each year, with this years pageant January 12, 2013. It was broadcast for the first time in 1954, with a recordbreaking 27 million viewers, and remains the fourth longest-running live event in television history.

Happy Cable Car Day on January 17! This year marks the 142nd anniversary of the first cable car railway patent bestowed upon Andrew Smith Hallidie. He was inspired to invent the cable car after witnessing an accident with a horse-drawn streetcar on San Francisco’s steep streets. The cable car made its first appearance in that city in 1873. The cars move up and down San Francisco’s inclines at a speed of about 9 miles per hour.

• January 11 is officially Amelia Earhart Day, but not because that was the day she disappeared. It marks the date she became the first person to fly solo across the Pacific from Honolulu to Oakland, California in 1935. It was two years later on June 1 that she and her navigator Fred Noonan departed Miami on a 29,000-mile journey, attempting to fly around the world. They were just 7,000 miles from completing the goal when radio transmission ceased and the two were never seen again.

• Who hasn’t used that handy little tool, the Thesaurus? It’s the volume that lists synonyms for words, enabling a writer to avoid using the same word in articles, speeches, and papers. January 18th is officially Thesaurus Day, celebrating the 1779 birthday of the author of Roget’s Thesaurus, Peter Roget. He was a British physician who struggled with depression and used the compiling of lists of words to combat it. The brilliant Roget graduated with a medical degree at only 19, and served as chief surgeon of an English hospital. In addition, he invented a slide rule that enables a person to perform exponential and root calculations. His first Thesaurus was published when Roget was 73, and was entitled Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases Classified and Arranged so as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition. His work had 28 printings during his lifetime, and after his death, was carried on by his son and later by his grandson. • Sharpen your pencils! It’s time for National Handwriting Day on January 23, a day established by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association to promote the use of pens, pencils, and writing paper. This day was chosen because it is the birthday of John Hancock, whose stylish and flamboyant signature is easily recognizable on the Declaration of Independence. Even his name has become synonymous with the word “signature,” as we ask folks to “put their John Hancock” on important documents. This member of the Continental Congress and later governor of Massachusetts was the very first person to sign the Declaration.

Congress passed the Martin Luther King day legislation in 1983, which was then signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. A compromise moving the holiday from Jan. 15, King's birthday, which was considered too close to Christmas and New Year's, to the third Monday in January helped overcome opposition to the law.

• Make yourself a peanut butter sandwich on January 24 in honor of National Peanut Butter Day. Every year Americans eat enough of this spread to make more than 10 billion sandwiches, spending about $800 million annually. First introduced in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair, peanut butter is now eaten in 90% of American households. Today’s laws state that in order to be labeled as “peanut butter,” the product must be at least 90% peanuts. • January 25 is observed as World Leprosy Day, intended to educate people on this disease that damages the nerves that control the muscles in the hands and feet. Left untreated, it can lead to the inability to use the hands, paralysis of the feet, loss of sensation in the extremities, and even blindness. Every day, 620 people are diagnosed with leprosy – that’s one every two minutes! Also called Hansen’s Disease, leprosy is contagious, spread by droplets from the nose and mouth by coughing and sneezing. India has more leprosy than any other country. The good news in this century is that it is curable, and deformities can frequently be remedied with reconstructive surgery. • Seeing Eye Dogs, who help their sightimpaired owners to safely navigate in their surroundings, are honored on January 29. The top three breeds used as guide dogs today are Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds. A dog undergoes specialized training for four to six months to make sure they have the necessary qualifications to be a seeing eye dog.

Leprosy in the United States There are approximately 6,500 cases of leprosy in the United States, with the majority occurring in California, Hawaii, Florida, and New York. In addition, 90 percent of people affected by the disease are immigrants from countries where leprosy is endemic. Around 200 to 250 new cases are reported each year in the United States

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. -Martin Luther King

Is this the year you'll choose to stop driving? Are you prepared for that? Here are some thoughts, after reading a recent report by the Urban Land Institute, about what we might tend to want as a group. They have us broken down into age groups: Leading-Edge Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1955, and the Silent Generation, ages 67 to 80 years old. We Leading-Edge Boomers don't especially want to move to a seniorsonly residence where we're surrounded by other seniors. We've been active, and we want to stay active. We'll tend to do more ordering online or having items delivered by UPS and FedEx. Boomers tend to live in the suburbs and want to stay in our own homes. If we do move, it will probably be to a place where cars aren't as necessary but goods and services will be nearby. The Silent Generation will consider warmer climates and co-housing "village" areas where services are brought to us. There will be those who prefer the hubbub of downtowns with a mix of young and old, but with culture, libraries, walk-friendly streets and stores in easy reach. Both groups might choose from college towns (to live near children and take advantage of on-campus activities), manufactured housing, co-housing and group living (multi-generational), and "afﬁnity" retirement communities (bringing people together based on shared interests). At some point, however, driving will become an issue. Where do you want to be when that happens? Before driving becomes a question in anyone's mind, consider taking a seniors' driving class, and maybe a refresher every year. Get a head start on knowing the physical changes that happen to all of us that can impact driver safety.

● On Jan. 18, 1803, in a secret message to Congress, President Thomas Jefferson requests funding for the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the mysterious Far West and perhaps find a Northwest Passage to the Pacific. Jefferson officially asked Congress for $2,500, though some sources indicate the expedition ultimately cost closer to $50,000.

January 15th 2013

December 22– January 19 Picture it, Capricorn—a new you. It is possible, and it begins this week with a challenge from a friend. A delay at work proves to be a blessing in disguise.

January 20– February 18 Health concerns ease for a relative. Learn from their mistakes, Aquarius, and take the initiative to get back to form. A special date draws near.

June 22– July 22 Look out, Cancer. Mystery abounds at home, and you’ll be drawn in fast. Don your detective cap and start the investigation. Questions at work remain unanswered.

July 23– August 22 Push too hard, Leo, and you could fall short of a goal. Take a step back to reflect on the best way to proceed. An off-hand remark clues you in to a rivalry at home.

August 23– September 22 February 19– March 20 Fixation can easily turn into Run-ins with foes abound, obsession, Pisces. Stay and the mood changes aware of that fact with a quickly. Look to a trusted project that looms. Work to advisor to lift your maintain balance, and you spirits and put things in will come out on top. perspective, Virgo.

March 21– April 19 Favors are returned in unusual ways, giving you much to celebrate. Share your joy with those closest to you, Aries. A charitable organization reaches out.

September 23– October 22 Your efforts fail to get noticed, but not to worry, Libra. Keep at it, and the rewards will come. Rules are revised at home, and conflict minimizes.

April 20– May 20 Unfinished projects beckon to you. Use them as a way to connect with a friend who is feeling blue. A question remains, Taurus. Stop avoiding it.

October 23– November 21 Warning, Scorpio. News from afar will throw you for a loop if you let it. Do your best to keep your emotions in check. There is a silver lining.

May 21– June 21 Pish-posh, Gemini. What you deem important is not necessarily what is. Look to someone higher up for a list of priorities. A letter bears good news.

November 22– December Pay rumors no heed, Sagittarius. The truth will come out. A matter at home causes dissension among the ranks. You will have to fight hard for a united front.

January 28 has been set aside as Christa McAuliffe Day, commemorating America’s first Teacher in Space. Tidbits honors this inspiring woman who lost her life in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986. • Originally from Massachusetts, Christa moved to New Hampshire when her husband accepted a new job there. She settled into a teaching position at Concord High School, with classes in social studies, American History, and economics. Her teaching included an emphasis on the “impact of ordinary people on history,” a concept that was to play out in her own life. • The “race to space” began when Christa was just a young child, and she became enthralled with Project Mercury and the Apollo programs. On February 21, 1962, the day after John Glenn’s historic orbit of the Earth aboard Friendship 7, she told a high school friend, “Do you realize that someday people will be going to the Moon? Maybe even taking a bus, and I want to do that!” • When Christa was two years into her Concord tenure, President Ronald Reagan announced the Teacher in Space Project, a NASA program designed to send the first civilian into space. NASA’s goal was to find an “ordinary person,” an educator to communicate with students while aboard a spacecraft. More than 11,000 teachers applied for the position. Christa mailed her application form at the last minute, writing: “I watched the Space Age being born, and I would like to participate.” • The pool of applicants was narrowed down to 114, then down to 10, and on July 19, 1985, Christa McAuliffe’s name was announced as NASA’s choice. The agency liked her “infectious enthusiasm,” and declared her “the most broad-based, best-balanced person of the 10.” She and the first alternate, Barbara Morgan, each took a one-year leave of absence from their schools, with NASA covering their salaries. The Challenger mission was scheduled for early 1986. • It was intended that Christa would teach two 15-minute classes to the nation’s schoolchildren from space, broadcast via closed-circuit television. The first was to have been “The Ultimate Field Trip,” including an introduction of the other six crew members and their duties, a tour of the spacecraft with a description of the equipment, and a summary of living aboard the craft. Her second lesson was to summarize the benefits of space travel, entitled “Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going, Why.” She was also set to conduct science experiments in magnetism, Newton’s laws, and chromatography. • Just 73 seconds after takeoff, the Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast. The entire craft disintegrated, due to the failure of a rubber O-ring seal in the right solid rocket booster, which caused a leak in the joint it was meant to seal. This allowed pressurized hot gas to reach the external fuel tank. Christa, aged 37, left behind her husband, a nine-year-old son and a six-yearold daughter. • It’s estimated that 85% of Americans heard of the disaster within one hour of its occurrence. • Twelve years after Christa’s death, her backup Barbara Morgan, a former Idaho schoolteacher, was chosen by NASA as an astronaut. She flew aboard the Challenger’s replacement, the Endeavor, to the International Space Station in 2007.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● When famed inventor Alexander Graham Bell died in 1922, he was dictating a memo. His final words were, "So little done, so much to do!" ● If you're a fan of big brass, you might want to head to Millersville, Pa., in May. Every year during that month, the town celebrates International Tuba Day, with some 50 tuba players on hand to serenade the crowd. ● There's been much public conversation about the growing girth of Americans in recent decades. It's not just people who are gaining weight, though; between 1996 and 2006, the average motor vehicle made in the U.S. gained 500 pounds. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: We're buying a new house in a couple of months, and one of my friends mentioned that once the purchase is final and before we move in, I should replace all the doorknobs and locks on the exterior doors for security purposes. Is this really something we should do? What's the best way to replace them? -- Clark in Syracuse, N.Y. A: While I haven't heard a lot about changing doorknobs and deadbolts on new homes for security purposes (you could just have the locks rekeyed), it certainly wouldn't hurt to do so. In addition to having new locks that no one else has the key to, you get the added benefit of choosing new styles of hardware for your exterior doors. Once you've picked out the new doorknobs and deadbolts, remove and replace the old hardware one at a time. If there are any problems with installing the locks, you'll at least have one working lock on the door while you solve the problem. Remove the doorknob by first taking off the cover plates. There may be screws holding the plates in place; unscrew and remove those. If there are no visible screws, check the doorknob on the interior side. A small slot should be visible on one side of the handle, usually behind the knob. You should be able to push in the small metal piece inside the slot, using a paper clip or even the tip of a key, until the knob pops loose. Now take off the cover plate. An underlying plate will be visible. This can be popped off by locating a small notch on the edge of the plate where it presses against the door. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the notch and gently twist it to loosen the plate. Now you're free to unscrew the attaching screws that hold the doorknob assembly. You also will need to remove the screws from the latch plate on the side of the door. Remove the assembly carefully so you don't damage the door. If you intend to replace the strike plate as well, remove that from the door frame. To install a new doorknob, reverse the above procedure. You may find that the new doorknob doesn't line up quite the same as the old. You can adjust the backset (the distance between the center of the doorknob and the edge of the door) to correct this. If you replace the strike plate, make sure the latch hits it correctly. Tighten up all the screws, being sure not to overtighten, and test to make sure the door latches and locks properly.

● Too many dishes and cups and not enough cabinet space? Try rotating your serving pieces as you would a wardrobe. Use different patterns for different seasons. ● "When you need to quickly clean the microwave and there is stuck-on food, thoroughly saturate a washcloth or dishrag with water and microwave it for about a minute. Leave it in the microwave for another minute, and then use it to wipe away the food. It comes off like magic! (Always check the cloth to make sure it is not too hot to handle first.)" -N.C., via e-mail

● "Here's a great discovery our family made after a recent snowstorm. It's fun to paint on snow. Use wide paintbrushes and watercolors. Mist the snow with a water bottle to create a semi-hard surface, then paint away. We used sticks and leaves to create a border and took photos of our 'creations.' This way we have a memory of it after it melts away." -- R.O. in Ohio

EXPENSIVE ARENAS

With the football season beginning to wind down, you might be interest in what spectators have been paying for tickets at some of the stadiums. Tidbits presents the most expensive, the least expensive, and a glance at Super Bowl ticket prices. • The price tag for game attendance is based on the Fan Cost Index, a figure derived by the Team Marketing Report. This figure represents the price for a family of four to attend an NFL game, including four tickets at the average price, two small beers, four small sodas, four hot dogs, parking, two game programs, and two adult caps. The average league-wide figure is $427.42. • The fifth most-expensive stadium, Chicago Bears’ Soldier Field, carries a Fan Cost Index of $557.18. Home of the Bears since 1971, it holds 61,500 fans, and has an average single ticket price of $101.55. Fans can have a beer for $8 and a hot dog for $5. The team has a season ticket renewal rate of 98%, and every game has sold out for the last 27 years. • The third most expensive stadium belongs to the New England Patriots, with an index of $597.66, and a single ticket average of $117.84. Gillette Stadium also offers “premium tickets,” which include oversize plush seats, fancier food and beverages, flat screen TV’s, and access to the field postgame. Want a season ticket? Get in line, there’s a waiting list. • The Dallas Cowboys play in the second most expensive stadium, with a cost index of $613.80. The $6 price tag on sodas is the highest in the league, and fans fork over $75 for parking at the three-year-old arena. If money is a little tight, spectators can purchase a $29 “party pass” that allows a standing-room view of the game from platforms on the end zone and corners. • MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is the only NFL stadium shared by two teams. The most expensive stadium ever built and the largest in the NFL in terms of permanent seating capacity (82,500), it is home to both the New York Jets and the New York Giants. The cost index differs between the two teams, with the Giants the fourth-highest in the league at $592.26 and a whopping $464.75 for a premium seating ticket. The most expensive tickets in the league belong to the Jets with the index at $628.90. If you’d like to reserve two tickets for the Jets in the premium club area, you can do so for a five-year period for $24,340. • How about the cheapest prices in the league? That honor belongs to EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although it’s the fifth-largest stadium in the NFL, its Fan Cost Index is just $316.50, and an average ticket price of $58.90. It’s close to the bottom in terms of attendance. • The average ticket price for last year’s Super Bowl was $2,900. Tickets for the 2013 game are slated to be much higher, with the cheapest in the $2,500 range and the most expensive over $9,500. This will be the 7th year for the contest at New Orleans’ Superdome, the largest fixed-dome structure in the world, which has a seating capacity exceeding 76,000. New York’s MetLife Stadium is scheduled for the 2014 matchup. The next best thing to being there is at the Fieldhouse!
