TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

FEBRUARY BABIES

by Kathy Wolfe

From politicians to stars to artists — Many famous folks were born this time of year. Let’s look into some notable people born during the second month.

• Although the name Tiffany is most often associated with fine jewelry, Louis Comfort Tiffany started out as a painter then moved to designing stained glass windows, lamps, mosaics and blown glass. He first gained fame when he redecorated many of the rooms in the White House in 1882, at the request of President Chester Arthur. It was Louis’ father Charles who founded Tiffany & Company in 1837, 11 years before Louis’ birth. Louis was 54 before he became that company’s design director, creating exquisite jewelry designs. Tiffany & Company now operates 83 stores in the United States and more than 100 international stores.

• “Biggest Loser” viewers are well acquainted with the nononsense methods of trainer Jillian Michaels, a February 1974 baby. At age 12, Michaels weighed 175 pounds (79 kg) at a height of 5 feet (150 cm). To battle her weight problem, her mother enrolled her in a martial arts class, which turned out to be a life-changing decision. In addition to her reality TV duties, she works as an ambassador for the American Cancer Society.

• You might not recognize the name of Daniel Lawrence Whitney, but you’ve probably heard his work. Better known as “Larry the Cable Guy,” this February 1963 baby got his start as a disc jockey at a Blue Springs, Missouri, radio station before advancing to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. He’s often heard saying, “Git ‘er done,” and “I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.” You’ll usually see “Larry” in his trademark “redneck” attire — jeans, flannel shirt and camouflage hat. He named his daughter Reagan because in his words, “Ronald Reagan was the greatest president ever.” turn the page for more!

FEBRUARY SLUGGERS

• Brother Mathias Boutlier was St. Mary’s Head of Discipline and took young Ruth under his wing, teaching him the game of baseball. In 1919, at 19, Ruth signed with the Boston Red Sox, and being the youngest member of the team, was given the nickname “Babe.” He was sold to the Yankees five years later and contributed to the team’s seven pennants and four World Series titles. Prior to his arrival, the Yankees had never won a pennant.

• In 1927, the Bambino became the first player to hit 60 homers in one season, a record that stood until 1961 when it was broken by Roger Maris. His record of 714 home runs was on the books for 41 years. He retired at age 40 in 1935 after 21 seasons. The Babe perished from throat cancer in 1948.

• Hank Aaron spent his childhood in poverty, picking cotton on an Alabama farm. When his family didn’t have money for baseball equipment, he hit bottle caps with sticks.

Attending high school in Mobile, Hank played outfield and third base on the school’s championship team but was also a success on the football team. In fact, he received several scholarship offers to play college football, but turned them down, knowing that baseball was his first love.

HAVE A HEART! We all know that hearts are synonymous with Valentine’s Day. This week, Tidbits studies up on the human heart, the muscle that “takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’!”

• Just a little larger than the size of your fist, your heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces (200 to 425 g). The average heart beats about 72 times per minute, which is about 100,000 times a day. You do the math —That’s 3.6 million times every year. If you live 70 years, that’s 2.5 billion beats over the course of your lifetime.

• Every day your heart pumps 2,000 gallons (7,570 l) of blood through your body’s 60,000 miles (96,560 km) of blood vessels. Turn on your kitchen faucet full blast for the next 45 years and that will equal the amount of blood pumped by your heart during your lifetime. That’s about 1.5 million gallons (5,678,118 l), which would fill about 200 tanker cars on a train.

• About four weeks after conception, a fetus’ heart starts beating. Its heart rate is about 150 beats per minute, twice as fast as an adult’s. At 12 weeks, its heart is pumping 60 pints (28 l) of blood every day.

• The heart cavity is made up of four parts, two upper chambers and two lower chambers. The upper compartments are called the right and left atria, and the lower chambers are the right and left ventricles. The body’s largest artery, the aorta, originates from the left ventricle, the largest and strongest chamber that pumps to all body parts. Its walls are about _ inch (1.27 cm) thick. Your body contains about 75 trillion cells that receive blood from the heart. Only one body part, the cornea, receives no blood.

• The word “cardiac” means “related to the heart,” and has its origins in the Greek word for heart, kardia.

• There’s a difference between the hearts of men and women.

The man’s is typically about 2 ounces (62 grams) heavier, but beats about eight fewer times per minute.

• When you have a good belly laugh, up to 20 percent more blood is pumped throughout your entire body. This can contribute to stress reduction, so laugh it up!

• The world’s first successful human heart transplant was completed in 1967 by South African physician Dr. Christiaan Barnard. The recipient Louis Washansky lived 18 days. Today, heart recipients live an average of 15 years.

About 3,500 transplants are performed every year. After two years, about 80 percent of recipients are alive, and after five years, 73 percent of males and 67 percent of females still survive. Medical research has shown that same-gender transplants have better results.

• The world’s longest-surviving heart transplant recipient lived 31 years after his surgery. Tony Huesman was 20 years old when viral pneumonia damaged his heart and he received a new one in 1978. He lived until 2009, when ironically, it was cancer that claimed his life. Kelly Perkins received her new heart in 1995 and has since climbed Mt. Fuji, Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Matterhorn, Mt. Whitney and Argentina’s Cajon de Arenales.

Jack Nicklaus bristles if he gets the “Tiger Woods question” too many times at one sitting. Will Nicklaus be upset when Woods -- inevitably -- shatters all of his records? Steamed, Nicklaus always shakes his head. Just once, he says, just once he’d like to see someone on the PGA “really go after [Tiger].” He’s too old to do it himself and he’s too old to understand that on an Internet bulletin board somewhere, somebody is complaining about how Mickelson could have taken the No. 1 seed by playing in a few more tournaments in 2010.

Work authorization and social security required.

Those folks need to stop with the comparisons, put down the mouse and look at the actions of a real man named Phil Mickelson.

healthy dose of a reader’s receptiveness die on the vine as what passes for today’s media corps focuses on the lowhanging fruit of sordid, streaming minutiae. It is in this era that the timeless vision of Phil “Lefty” Mickelson’s Masters victory at Augusta -- after he birdied to clinch the Masters and ended up in the loving, kiss-filled embrace of his wife, Amy.

The Master Mickelson Though derided for being one of the more boring years in recent sports memory, 2010 did offer up more than its fair share of drama.

The sports headline in 2010 more than likely dealt with the lingering fallout from the steroid scandals, off-field idiocies, text messages and gun arrests (in many cases, all of the above) that typify what passes for sports reporting these days. We’re in the deadball era of sports reporting ... an era where the press corps is in decline, where coaches clam up and deliver the same pat answers -- presser after presser, game after game -- with unchecked impunity. It’s

Woods, as in years past, still managed to dominate the news, even on that day. His 20-month estrangement from golf and imminent divorce seemed to get more press than the 13 months that Amy suffered from breast cancer. Mickelson’s mother had been battling the same disease for more than a year, too. He may have been one of the richest men in the world, may have been the second most decorated and actively competitive golfer in the world, and it didn’t matter.

Skin psoriasis precedes joint psoriasis most of the time, but there are instances when both occur simultaneously or when joint involvement appears before any skin manifestations.

The fact that skin and joint psoriasis run in some families also points to a gene influence on these conditions.

Any joint can be affected. The topmost finger joint, the one below the fingernail, is frequently targeted. Back, neck, knees, you name it -- psoriasis can strike it. Like all arthritic joints, psoriatic arthritic joints are swollen, red, tender and stiff. The severity of joint involvement doesn’t always mirror skin involvement, but it does correspond to nail changes. Nails have small pits, become loosened from their attachment to underlying skin, often turn yellow and crumble.

Treatment of psoriatic arthritis depends on how bad the arthritis is. For mild to moderate cases, NSAIDS do a good job. They include the familiar Aleve, Advil, Motrin and many others. For more severe involvement, doctors prescribe drugs like methotrexate. And for severe arthritis, a breakthrough has come with the introduction of drugs like Enbrel, Remicade and Humira.

Psoriasis Sometimes More Than Skin Deep

deAr dr. donoHue: Your article on arthritis was very interesting, but you did not explain about the arthritis that comes with psoriasis. I have it, and I know of two other people who have it. We don’t understand it at all. Please explain. -- B.E.

*** deAr dr. donoHue: Public speaking panics me. My job requires that I do lots of public speaking. In spite of the fact that I am called on to perform often, it doesn’t get any easier for me. In fact, I think it’s gotten worse.

AnSWer: Autoimmunity is the explanation for many illnesses, including both skin and joint psoriasis.

“Autoimmunity” indicates that the immune system -- our protection against germ invasion and other harmful attacks -- for reasons not yet understood, turns against our own bodies; in this case, it’s the skin and joints. The immune system targets joints in as many as 7 percent of those who suffer from skin psoriasis. That’s a considerable number of

It also controls the signs of stage fright. Many professional musicians have to use it before their performances. It’s a prescription drug, so your doctor has to agree to its use.

Limit taking it to those occasions when you have to speak in public. It’s not habit-forming. It’s not a narcotic. It’s not a tranquilizer.

AnSWer: I’m pretty sure it’s Inderal (propranolol). It has many medical uses, like regulating the heartbeat, controlling blood pressure and abolishing certain tremors.

The list of the 10 top-grossing films, worldwide, in 2010 is out, and it may surprise you, as it did me. Six were in 3D, four were animated and four were hero driven or sci-fi. “Toy Story 3,” in 3D, made more than $1.1 billion; followed by “Alice in Wonderland” 3D, $1 billion; “Inception,” $825 million; “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” $824 million; “Shrek Forever After,” in 3D, with $740 million; “Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” $693 million; “Iron Man 2,” $582 million; “Despicable Me,” 3D, $540 million; “How to Train Your Dragon,” $495 million; and “Clash of the Titans,” $493 million.”

Where are the great films that become classics? Don’t we still enjoy a great story fueled by an incredible performance?

This might be why producers don’t buy original scripts and stick to tried and true formulas that have high visibility.

Could it be there’s so much drama already in our everyday lives, because of texting and twittering, that we need to hide in darkened theatres to escape to another realm?!

Pet Ownership February is Responsible Pet Owners’ Month. It’s an interesting designation, really, as I’m not entirely clear as to whether we’re supposed to be celebrating Responsible Pet Owners, or making pet owners feel guilty about not being as responsible as they should be.

On one hand, I’m getting plenty of notices to remind my readers to take their pets in for check-ups (if they haven’t done so already), get their vaccinations up to date and basically work harder at keeping pets healthy and happy.

On the other hand, I’m getting plenty of press releases about scads (that’s right, scads) of products that apparently are absolute must-haves in order to be a truly responsible pet owner.

To me, it’s all a bit weird. Isn’t responsible pet ownership a year-round activity? Has it suddenly become OK to just condense our responsibility to our pets into the shortest month of the year? Is responsible pet ownership really being promoted, or is this just another way for marketers to convince pet owners that they have to have the latest, most expensive tooth-brushing devices to keep their dogs’ teeth from just falling out?

Not that there aren’t good products being touted. Safety harnesses to keep your pet in place while traveling in the car -- good idea. Better, safer chew toys for dogs -- another good idea.

What I’m getting at is this: Designating a month for responsible pet ownership is a well-intentioned move, but truly responsible pet owners consider it a year-round occupation. Why not celebrate responsible pet owners for who they truly are -- compassionate people who see their pets as part of the family and make sure they get the care and love they deserve, all the time?
