The Talk of Your

Thanksgiving Table Celebrate with us this year!

by Kathy Wolfe

Open Thanksgiving Day! • We’ve all seen it nearly every day of our lives. This week, Tidbits is full of “bet you didn’t know that” facts about the moon.

• The moon is 225,745 miles (363,301 km) from Earth. If you were able to plan a trip there, it would be about a two-day trip on a rocket or a 625-hour ride on a 747 jet flying at 400 mph (644 km/hr). If you could drive your car there, it would take 135 days traveling at 70 mph (112 km/hr).

SE

• Driving around the circumference of the moon, 6,790 miles (10,864 km), is about equal to a trip from New York to London and back. The moon is about 27% the size of Earth, with an area of 14,658,000 square miles (37,932,000 sq. km).

That’s about 9.4 billion acres.

• Temperatures on the moon vary from 273 ˚F (134 C) at the hottest time of the day to -244 ˚F (-153C) at night. A day on the moon from sunrise to sunrise is about 708 hours.

It rotates on its axis at a speed of about 10 mph (16 km/hr).

Compare this with Earth, which rotates at about 1,000 mph (1,609 km/hr). Yet both the moon and Earth complete their orbit in about the same amount of time. turn the page for more!

THE MOON

ZUGAR

(continued): • In May, 1961, President John F. Kennedy stated his goal in an address to Congress of “landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth” by the end of the 1960s. The first manned spacecraft to the moon was Apollo 8 in 1968, when Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders circled the moon 10 times before heading back to Earth.

• The average speed at which the moon orbits the Earth is 2,287 mph (3,680 km/hr.)

• We only see about 59% of the moon’s surface from Earth. The pattern of the moon’s rotation causes the same side to face Earth at all times. What we frequently call the “dark side” of the moon (that part we can’t see) should really be referred to as the “far side.” It has only been photographed from spacecraft. The surface is covered by a mantle made up of an 825-mile-thick (1,330 km) layer of iron and magnesium-rich rock known as regolith. It’s been pounded by meteors, asteroids, and comets, which have created countless craters across its expanse. The widest craters are 140 miles (225 km) in diameter and are as deep as 15,000 ft. (4,500 m). There are mountains standing as high as 16,000 ft. (5,000 m). It’s estimated that the moon weighs about 81 quintillion tons (74 sextillion kg).

• Although the moon looks round to us, it’s really eggshaped. As we look at it, the smaller end of the egg is pointed toward us. It appears to be about the same size as the sun, but it’s actually 400 times smaller. Because the moon is 400 times closer to Earth than the sun is, the two appear about the same size. The moon is actually moving away from Earth about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) a year.

• Gravity on the moon is just 1/6 that of Earth. This means if you weigh 120 lbs. (54.4 kg) on Earth, you weigh only 20 lbs. (9.1 kg) on the moon. And if you don’t feel like dieting, remember that because of gravitational effects, you weigh just a bit less when the moon is directly overhead.

• The world first saw close-up TV pictures of the moon’s surface in 1964 when images were sent back by Ranger 7, the first U.S. space probe.

• The Apollo 11 crew made history in July, 1969 when they made the first landing.

On July 20, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon. There are very few Americans unfamiliar with his famous words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Armstrong later reported that what he actually said was, “that’s one small step for a man…” The crew spent 21 hours and 36 minutes on the surface, with 2 hours and 36 minutes outside the craft, walking on the surface.

The footprints of the Apollo 11 crew astronauts will remain for thousands of years, considering there is no wind or adverse weather to disturb them.

• The Apollo 11 crew collected lunar rocks weighing 842 lbs. (382 kg.).

• A total of 12 men have walked on the moon. No one has done so since December, 1972 when Eugene Cernan of the final manned mission to the moon, Apollo 17, became the last man to set foot on the lunar surface. Apollo 17 was the sixth landing of humans on the moon.

• Do you know the difference between waxing and waning? During the phases of the moon’s cycle, when it appears to be getting larger, it’s called waxing, while waning is when it appears to get smaller.

• If we didn’t have the moon, the oceans would have no tides. Tides rise because of the pull of the moon’s gravi-

• What does it take the create an eclipse? These phenomena occur only when the sun, Earth, and moon are all in a straight line and one blocks the light from another. The official term for this configuration of three celestial bodies is syzygy. A solar eclipse will occur during a new moon, when the moon is between the sun and Earth and blocks the sunlight. A lunar eclipse will occur at the time of a full moon, when Earth is between the sun and the moon, and blocks the sun’s light that would normally light up the moon.

• According to folklore, if you see the slim crescent moon over your right shoulder, it’s considered good luck, while seeing it over your left shoulder is unlucky.

Legend further states that if you move to a new home during a waning moon, you will never go hungry.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

VICTORIA WOODHULL Victoria Woodhull

Most folks have never heard of Victoria Woodhull, but she made the pages of history books as the first woman to run for the office of the President of the United States. Let’s learn more about Victoria’s several other achievements.

• Born into humble beginnings, Victoria’s parents ran a traveling medicine show, where her mother was a spiritualist and her father, the typical “snake oil salesman.” Victoria and her sister Tennie worked as clairvoyants and fortune tellers

in the show. At age 14, Victoria contracted a serious illness and her parents consulted a 28-year-old doctor, Channing Woodhull, who would become Victoria’s husband just two months past her 15th birthday.

• It soon became apparent that Dr. Woodhull was an alcoholic, morphine addict, and a womanizer, and Victoria went to work to keep them afloat. After two children, including one who was mentally disabled, Victoria divorced Woodhull 11 years later.

• Victoria and Tennie were very successful as spiritual mediums and healers and made the move to New York City to capitalize on this success. Victoria married again, this time to James Blood, a former Union Army colonel in the Civil War, who had also been the first mayor of Lawrence, Kansas. The sisters’ most famous client was railroad millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt.

In appreciation for their services, in 1870 Vanderbilt helped them open their own stock brokerage house on Wall Street, and the sisters became the first women stockbrokers in history. The company was immediately successful, patronized by wealthy widows and other women of means.

• With the proceeds from the brokerage, the women established their own newspaper Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly, a publication with 20,000 subscribers, which focused on women’s rights and labor reform. The paper was the first to print the English version of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.

• In 1872, nearly 50 years before women had the right to vote, Victoria became the first female candidate for U.S. President, nominated by the Equal Rights Party. The Party chose for-

mer slave and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass as her running mate, although he never acknowledged the nomination.

Victoria’s platform included an eight-hour workday, a graduated income tax, social welfare programs, and women’s rights. As a divorced woman, she advocated new divorce laws that gave women the right to leave unbearable marriages. In her words, “I have an inalienable constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can, to change that love every day if I please!”

• Just days before the Presidential election, Woodhull, her husband, and her sister were arrested on obscenity charges for running an exposé on popular Brooklyn preacher Henry Ward Beecher. Victoria spent election day in jail, and although she was acquitted of all charges, her reputation was destroyed and her businesses went bankrupt.

• Woodhull divorced her second husband in 1876, and moved to England, where she married a wealthy banker, and published a magazine called The Humanitarian for nine years. She lived out the remainder of her days in England, dying in London in 1927.

SEE YA LATER! See ya later, Alligator! Take a look at some of these interesting facts about this member of the order Crocodylia.

• Early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida gave the alligator its name. This scaly reptile takes its name from the Spanish word el largarto, meaning “the lizard.”

• Alligators are native only to the United States and China. In the U.S., Louisiana has the most alligators, but large populations also live in Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Although an American alligator can grow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) long and weigh up to half a ton (454 kg), on average, males grow to about 11 feet (3.4 m) and females to about 8 feet (2.6 m). The Chinese alligator is much smaller, with males averaging a length of 5 feet (1.5 m) and females at about 4.5 feet (1.4 m). The tail accounts for about half of an alligator’s length.

• The menacing-looking mouth of an American alligator holds between 74 and 80 teeth at a time, but it might go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth over its lifetime. Although they seem to have a reputation for attacking humans, alligators are actually quite solitary and very rarely do they go after humans, usually only when provoked or when protecting their young. Their diet consists of fish, turtles, snakes, birds, and small mammals. Occasionally they eat other alligators.

• An alligator’s jaws can clamp shut with enough force to break a person’s arm. But the muscles that open its mouth are very weak, so much so that a man can hold a full-grown alligator’s mouth open with one hand. And although they move very quickly through water, alligators are slow-moving on land.

• Cut the top off of a 2-liter soda bottle to use as a funnel.

They are very easy to cut, and you'll have a funnel whenever you need one!

• A female alligator will lay up to 50 eggs at a time, keeping them warm in a nest of rotting vegetation. The temperature of that nest will determine the gender of her offspring. Oddly enough, if the eggs are incubated over 93 degrees F (33.8 C), the embryos develop into males. Females are the result of temperatures below 86 degrees F (30 C), and between 86 and 93 degrees F, an embryo can develop into either gender.

About 8 out of 10 baby alligators will be eaten by bobcats, snakes, otters, large fish, raccoons, and other alligators.

• Save and clean your prescription bottles; they make really great containers for bobbins. I take a spare piece of thread, ball it up a bit and tape it to the top of the container, too. Then I sit them all in a shoebox. I can see just from the tops which color I need to use." -- L.K. in Alabama

• An American alligator has a life expectancy in the wild of nearly 50 years.

• One of the main differences between alligators and crocodiles is their environment. Alligators dwell in fresh water, such as ponds, rivers, wetlands, lakes, and swamps, while crocodiles make their home in salt water.

An alligator’s nostrils point upward, so they can breathe while the rest of the body is submerged in water.

• Although there are about five million American alligators in the southeastern United States, they were once nearly extinct. Years of hunters seeking the valuable hides landed alligators on the endangered species list.

When the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service prohibited the trade of hides, alligators made such a comeback that they were removed from the list in 1987.

By JoAnn Derson • "Ounce marks come standard on most baby bottles, but they can be hard to see. Use a permanent marker to make the lines stand out, especially the one you are most likely to want to see in the middle of the night!"

-- R.G. in Indiana • "Before you set your new can of shaving cream on the sink edge, take this man tip from me: Borrow a bottle of clear nail polish and paint the bottom rim, extending up a quarter inch. It won't leave rust rings. I've been doing this for years." -- M.W. in New York

• If you use condiment bottles with a squeeze top, start saving them for snow season! Clean and fill with water, then add a few drops of food coloring. Make several of different colors. You can teach the children how to make different shades by mixing the drops.

The kids can take them all out in the snow to "paint."

Be sure to take photos of your temporary art.

• Use a piece of plastic mesh as a sink liner. Dishes set in the sink won't slide, but the water can still drip away down the drain.

by Samantha Weaver • It was noted wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: “Every saint has a past and every sinner a future.”

• It seems that having blond hair was popular in ancient Rome, too. Those not naturally blessed with golden hair, though, had to go through a bit of an ordeal to change their natural color. The treatment of choice was pigeon droppings. Messy, perhaps, but effective.

• Those who study such things say that dung beetles use the Milky Way as a navigational aid.

• In June 2009, the town of Cave Creek, Ariz., was faced

with an electoral tie in the race for a city council seat: Each candidate received exactly 660 votes. According to the state constitution, such ties can be broken by a game of chance. After some discussion, the candidates agreed that they would each pull a card at random out of a deck, and the one with the highest card would be declared the winner of the election. Thomas McGuire drew the six of hearts, then waited while his opponent, Adam Trenk, took his turn. Trenk pulled the king of hearts, securing his city council victory.

• You may be surprised to learn that clams can live to be 200 years old.

• If you’re of a morbid inclination and have some time to kill in Chicago, head to that city’s Graceland Cemetery.

Find the monument known as “Eternal Silence” -- a tall figure in robes -- and look into the statue’s eyes. It’s said that if you do that, you’ll have a vision of your own death.

don’t always do it. When we shop online, 57 percent of us don’t always type in the name of the site we’re going to. Instead we click on links, opening us to the risk that we’re going to a fraudulent site that only looks like our destination site -- a site that’s designed to take our personal information.

GUARD YOUR IDENTITY We know we should be aware of identity theft, but not all of us take steps to be safe. So says a news release put out

by Experian, one of the big three credit-reporting agencies.

A survey done by Experian showed that: Most of us (93 percent) know that identity theft is a big problem. A smaller number (61 percent) know it would not be hard for someone to steal their identity, and 67 percent are concerned it might happen to them. While the vast majority do secure their digital information, 55 percent don’t always check to see if a website is secure when shopping online. (Look for the https in the site’s address.) Worse, 63 percent don’t have a separate password for each online account. Translation: We know what we should be doing to stay protected online, but we

Computers and going online aren’t our only downfalls. Nearly half of us never use a password to lock our smartphone or tablet. Identity thieves can use the information they find in a stolen phone or tablet, as well as run up bills on our accounts. Only one in three of us stays secure on social-networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, willingly giving too much information online: date of birth, email address or educational background. Identity thieves can use that information.The big item -- our Social Security number -- isn’t guarded at all times. We willingly put it on medical forms (where do those forms end up?) or job applications (they don’t need it unless you’re hired), and we even carry the card in our wallet where it can be stolen and sold.

During the holidays it’s especially important to safeguard personal information. Thieves will be on the lookout for distracted shoppers who aren’t vigilant about walking with an open purse, stumble onto fraudulent websites for online shopping or use unsecured mobile phones to shop.

Spicy greens are available in supermarkets, natural food stores, and at farmers markets. Examples are arugula, mizuna, watercress, radicchio, red mustard, or Belgian endive. You can also use a prewashed salad mix that contains these greens.

Tender slices of eggplant take the place of pasta in this lasagna making it quite high in fiber. This recipe includes many flavorful and healthful herbs and spices, including oregano—a powerful source of antioxidants. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. Serve with polenta or sourdough bread and a green salad.

1 large eggplant 1 teaspoon dried thyme 4 cups sliced mushrooms (about 3/4 pound) 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional) 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 2 teaspoons dried basil 2 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, or 4 pounds fresh spinach, chopped 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups) 1 1/2 cups water 1 batch Simple Marinara, or 1 25-ounce jar commercial marinara vegetable oil spray 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 cups mixed spicy greens 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped 1 tangerine, seeded and sectioned 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 - 2 tablespoon pine nuts

What’s in Season Now?

Preheat oven to 375˚F. Cut eggplant into 1/4-inch slices (there should be about 12 slices). Arrange in a single layer on a lightly vegetable oil sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn and cook on the other side for 15 minutes. Eggplant should be tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350˚F.Spread half the marinara in a large casserole dish and top with half the eggplant slices.

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large non-stick skillet. Add onion and cook over high heat, stirring often until all the liquid has evaporated. Add 1/4 cup water and stir to loosen any stuck bits of onion, then continue cooking and stirring until all the liquid evaporates again. Repeat this process twice more. Reduce heat to medium and add spinach, basil, oregano, garlic powder, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until spinach is hot, and then stir in flour. Cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Spread half the spinach evenly over the eggplant slices. Heat remaining 1/4 cup water and soy sauce, if using, in a large non-stick skillet. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, thyme, and black pepper.

Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned. Spread in casserole dish over spinach.Top mushrooms with remaining eggplant slices, remaining spinach, and remaining marinara. Bake at 350˚F for about 40 minutes until heated through. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Eggplant Lasagna will keep for up to 3 days.

comes through the door unexpectedly and a parent becomes ill, it isn’t uncommon for children to struggle in school and act out in the home.

Along with seeking family support in your community, Nancy gives several tips that are important for helping children.

WHEN A CHILD’S PARENT HAS CANCER

1. Talk to your children regularly in natural situations, like driving to piano lessons or while preparing a meal.

Find time for honest conversation, and attempt to answer all of their questions.

2. Explain the diagnosis as clearly as possible. Outside resources in your community may be available to help.

RECOMMENDED READING ”CHASING CHAOS: MY DECADE IN AND OUT OF HUMANITARIAN AID”

by Jessica Alexander (Broadway Books, $15)

Reviewed by Molly Ford Most of us will live our whole lives without ever traveling to the countries Jessica Alexander takes us in her book “Chasing Chaos: My Decade In and Out of Humanitarian Aid.” Sans passports, we readers willingly follow Jessica to places diverse and, to the outsider, often frightening: Rwanda, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, Haiti and more.

Two days before Becca Herring’s 35th birthday last December, she learned that she and her family would be embarking on a new journey together. But it wasn’t the kind of journey a family typically takes during the winter holidays.

In Becca’s case, it began as a short trip to the local hospital in Modesto, Calif., where she would be diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. ”When we heard Becca had breast cancer, being honest with our two school-age kids from the get-go was important to the process of keeping us strong and together,” said her husband Jason, a paramedic, and by nature not one to gloss over a serious situation.

When questions in the past few months from 9-yearold James and 8-year-old Gabby came up -- such as “Will Mom’s hair grow back?” and “Will she get better?” -the parents accessed community resources and found an innovative local program called Monkey Business to help with the answers and the kids’ needs.Sponsored by Emanuel Cancer Center in Turlock, Calif., the year-round support group is designed for children and teens 5-17 whose loved one has cancer. Free and open to the community, hands-on sensory activities open up opportunities to ask questions and feel supported. A Monkey Business facilitator, Nancy Daley, says cancer’s impact on young families is on the rise, and when it

3. Give your children tools for talking to their friends at school about their parent’s cancer. Help them decide who needs to know, and who does not need to know.

4. Try your best to maintain rules and routines at home.

They provide security for children.

5. Keep a family calendar with treatment schedules so that children know when a parent may be extra tired.

Always include some fun time for the family.

Much is written about humanitarian aid from a clinical perspective, but Alexander’s firsthand account of delivering international aid is dramatic and gripping. Her memoir crosses war, political challenge, genocide and natural disaster, spanning multiple countries and years. Alexander also provides context to her account in order to help the reader better understand international aid. She succulently explains the complexity of the aid community without being dry or overtly academic.

As Alexander moves from a fresh-faced recent graduate to a respected member of the aid community, we see her manage deep challenges in balancing organizations’ overall mission with her specific roles and personal feelings about the aid industry. Most fascinating is how daily life and national crises can blend together when doing overseas humanitarian work. Alexander’s account of trying to go on a date with Pete, a “hot Australian” from the United Nations, before being moved to a different part of North Darfur was a great slice of life showing the challenges of having a personal life when your job is as heavy -- and as meaningful -- as saving the world.

The aid community has many more nuances than an outsider would originally consider. Reading this book is a chance to step inside a world that would otherwise stay hidden, outside the bounds of the eyesight of the average American.

Lacey C habert

By Cindy Elavsky Q: A few months back, you ran an interview about Scott Wolf, and it got me to wondering what his fellow “Party of Five” alum Lacey Chabert is up to now. -- Janet L., Minneapolis A: Lacey, who played the second youngest of the Salinger children on the hit ‘90s nighttime drama, stars in the Lifetime Movie Network original movie “Non-Stop,” which premieres Friday, Nov. 29, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Lacey plays an executive assistant on a nighttime flight to Zurich who strikes up a romantic encounter with a handsome stranger seated next to her.

When she later wakes from a nap, she finds that her bag with her ID, cellphone and laptop are missing -- as is the mysterious stranger. Lacey told me she was delighted to play a different character from what her fans are used to seeing: “My character is at a point in her life when she’s gone through a very devastating breakup. She’s really searching for clarity and just trying to find an anchor in her life again.

And there is also this mysterious side about her job, and throughout the story, you start to find out what that is. “I really could empathize with her. I’ve certainly had times in my life where I felt a little lost -- I could relate to that part of the character. But there was a lot about her that I hadn’t seen in characters I’ve played before. I like that she’s in a situation where things are completely out of control, and she’s starting to feel like she’s going completely insane. At the same time, she has to be the sanest character in the film because she’s driving the story. It was definitely a challenge. “ Q: Will “The Client List” return for another season, especially now that Jennifer Love Hewitt is pregnant?

-- Nina L., via email A: Lifetime has officially canceled the racy nighttime drama after two seasons.

Word has it that Jennifer and the execs were at a standoff over how to handle her real-life pregnancy within the show’s story line.

OLDER FAUCET STILL CAN BE REPAIRED Q: The faucet on the utility sink in my basement is leaking. It’s one of those older faucets with a threaded spout where you can attach a hose, and a wingnut-looking handle. Can this be repaired, or is it too old? -- Clive in Pittsburgh Q: I recently caught the encore airing of History’s “The Bible” miniseries, and it made me wonder if there will be more new episodes of the series. -- Jackie W., via emailA: NBC recently acquired the rights for the sequel to “The Bible,” called “A.D.: Beyond the Bible,” currently in development.

There also is a two-hour theatrical version of the miniseries in the works focusing on the life of Jesus through his Resurrection. The film, called “Son of God,” premieres Feb. 29, 2014.

Q: Is Drew Barrymore expecting again? Didn’t she

just have a baby? -- DeeDee P. in Georgia A: Drew did indeed give birth to daughter Olive in September 2012, stating at the time that she wanted another baby, and soon. She got her wish, as Drew is now pregnant with baby No. 2, and is due late spring/ early summer 2014.

First, shut off water to the faucet at the nearest shutoff valve. This may be located under the sink, or further along the pipe-run since it’s a utility sink.

Unscrew the small screw in the top of the faucet’s handle. Then pull the handle up and off. Just below the stem is the packing nut -- the large nut just underneath the handle. Use an adjustable wrench to unscrew the packing nut.

Now you’re ready to replace the damaged washers. The assembly should have two: a packing washer, just under the packing nut; and a stem washer, near the bottom of the spindle. Remove the old washers, and locate samesize replacements from the universal kit.

Reassemble the spindle using the replacement washers, reinsert into the valve and screw the packing nut back into place. Slide the handle back on and attach with the small screw.

Test the faucet by turning the water back on and turning the faucet on and off.

The type of faucet you described is likely a hose bib.

These are pretty reliable and long-lasting, but the washers can wear out just like any other faucet. You’ll need to disassemble the handle to get to the assembly inside.

Next, carefully unscrew the spindle. It’s important to not scratch the spindle shaft or strip the ridges at the end of it. You can use pliers (channel-type) to do this, but try wrapping a soft cloth around the spindle to protect it. Remove the spindle from the faucet valve.

www.TidbitsFlorida.com • November 15, 2013 • 11 for some people, perhaps younger populations, but that compared with conventional risk factors, genetic testing is not as useful as some had previously thought.

DIET FUELS DEPRESSION Women who consume a diet defined as inflammatory—high in red meat, fish, sodas, and refined grains—have a higher risk for depression, compared with women who consume low amounts of these products. As part of the Nurses’ Health Study, researchers analyzed the diets of 43,685 women who were free of depression at the onset of the research and followed them for an average of 12 years. Using measurable lab values associated with depression as well as a physician’s diagnosis and use of antidepressants, they found that women who favored inflammatory food products were 41 percent more likely to be depressed.

Genetic Connection to Diabetes Risk Overestimated Genes are not as useful at determining type 2 diabetes risk as are traditional risk factors such as weight, age, and gender, according to a new review in this month’s issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers analyzed data from 23 studies and determined that genetic testing may have a place

By Paul G. Donohue, M.D. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I would like to know the risk of having a stroke when a carotid artery has a blockage. I was told that doctors don’t go by percentage of blockage now. How is the risk determined?

ANSWER: An obstruction in the carotid artery, the neck artery that supplies the brain with blood, is not the only cause of a stroke. A piece of a blood clot that has broken off of a main clot elsewhere in the body and been swept into a brain artery is another cause of stroke. I mention this to keep it clear that a blocked carotid is but one risk for a stroke.

Some traditional risk factors for diabetes are easily mitigated with dietary and other lifestyle interventions. See PCRM’s resources at PCRM.org/Diabetes.

Red and Processed Meat Products Linked to Mortality Consumption of red and processed meat products is associated with increased risk of death, according to a new review published by theAmerican Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers looked at nine studies with years of follow-up ranging from 5.5 to 28 years to calculate a 23 percent increase in mortality risk for those consuming the most processed meat and a 29 percent increased risk for those consuming the most total red meat, compared with those who consumed the least.

Other studies have shown a similar link with red and processed meat products and mortality as well as links to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

The doctors I know still use percentage of reduction in the interior of a carotid artery as a criterion of stroke risk. With a 60 percent to 70 percent or greater narrowing of the carotid artery, people benefit from the opening up of the artery, using a variety of procedures.

Some experts feel that a 60 percent narrowing requires only blood-thinning medication, such as aspirin. Others feel that surgical removal of the blockage is indicated. Other factors have to be considered: the patient’s age, the patient’s wishes and the patient’s health problems unrelated to the artery problem.The booklet on stroke gives timely information on this dreaded cause of death and disability.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am an 85-year-old female, and my doctor has suggested a colonoscopy. I find it a degrading test. The doctor didn’t say why I needed it. Should a woman my age have it?

ANSWER: The American College of Physicians recommends against screening colonoscopies for people 75 and older or for those people with a life expectancy of less than 10 years. Some add that screening

can be stopped only if prior colonoscopies have been normal. No one I know recommends screening at 85.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a World War II vet. I told the Department of Veterans Affairs doctor that I have nervous feet.

If I sit in a chair with my feet on a footstool, they always start moving. The same thing happens at night in bed. I can’t get to sleep. Can you tell me what this is?

ANSWER: It sounds like a form of myoclonus -- brief, involuntary movements of the feet and legs. Most often it happens when in bed, but it also can happen when sitting in a chair. Something in the nervous system has gone wrong.

Mirapex and Requip are two medicines used to quiet these movements.See if the VA doctor agrees.It’s not such an uncommon disorder as you might think. It’s often seen with another condition called restless leg syndrome, a funny feeling in the legs that makes a person get up and move around to get rid of the sensation.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Jennifer Aniston

Universal Studios didn’t learn anything from the reboot of “Ironside,” which was canceled after four episodes. It is still rebooting several vintage series. First, big-screen versions of “The Rockford Files” (1974-80), starring Vince Vaughn (who’s also producing), and the Robert Wagner series “It Takes a Thief” (1968-70). “White Collar,” on USA, is a rip-off of “Thief,” with Matt Bomer playing a thief who works for the FBI instead of the CIA, as Wagner’s character did.

Guess Jennifer Aniston loved being a horrible boss so much, she’s making “Horrible Bosses 2.”

Tom Cruise’s next film, “Edge of Tomorrow,” which pits him against aliens, will be out in June. He’s currently preparing “Go Like Hell,” about automotive legend Carroll Shelby. It will be directed by Joseph Kosinski, who guided Cruise through “Oblivion,” which cost $120 million and grossed $286 million.

pear onscreen in George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s “The Monuments Men,” coming Feb. 7. ”Entourage” fans rejoice! Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Adrien Grenier, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven are set for the movie version of “Entourage,” shooting in January. Jeremy Piven asked for and got more money than the others, and when they found out, they refused to sign until they got bigger paychecks.

JILL JACKSON’S HOLLYWOOD Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx are back, but Colin Farrell and Donald Sutherland will not return. Two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine will fill the void as bosses. Also in the works for Jenn is “She’s Funny That Way” (also known as “Squirrels to the Nuts”) with Owen Wilson, Tatum O’Neal, Cybill Shepard and Richard Lewis. It’s directed by “The Last Picture Show” director Peter Bogdanovich, who wrote the screenplay with his ex-wife, Louise Stratton, in 2005.

Lansbury was nominated all 12 years for an Emmy but never won. She’s getting an honorary Oscar on Nov. 16.

WHEN SHOULD YOU FILE FOR SOCIAL SECURITY? It can be tempting, when age 62 rolls around, to quickly sign up for Social Security and start collecting some of that money you’ve put in over the years.But wait -- collecting at age 62 might not be your best bet. In fact, it can cost you many tens of thousands of dollars in lifetime benefits.AARP.org has a calculator that takes you step-by-step through the numbers, showing specifically how your benefits will be affected by how early you start collecting. Information you’ll need to put in the calcula-

Click the Your Benefits tab. You’ll see an elaborate graph that will show, by your age, whether you’ll get reduced benefits,

full benefits or maximum benefits. Look closely at the numbers. At an average yearly salary, the difference between filing at age 62 versus filing at age 70 can be in the neighborhood of $1,000 per month ... for the rest of your life.Then click the section that deals with how much of your monthly retirement expenses will be covered. Compare those to filing early versus filing for full or maximum benefits.Click on the What If I Claim and Keep Working tab for a real eye opener. You’ll see just how much -- or little -- of your money you’ll get if you take benefits while you’re still pulling in a salary.Calculate all your numbers before you sign up early for Social Security.

late on the court if you were into scoring and rebounding. Off the court, it would seem to most that there could be a lot to learn from the man if one wanted to be a spokesperson or in-studio announcer. Even baseball manager Terry Francona cites Barkley and Michael Jordan as role models for the decision to shave their heads, hence paving the way for other follically challenged athletes, coaches and fans. But Barkley and Jordan and plenty of others like them did not feel every part of their life warranted media coverage. They were wrong, of course ... people were still interested in their eating habits, the car they drove, the restaurants

they owned. What Barkley was really saying was, "Hey, I say that I am not a role model because I am just being me, good or bad.

Use your head ... go to your parents or family or friends for real advice on how to model your life, no matter what role any of your favorite stars may appear to play out for you on television.

"The joke commercials at the time would have superstars in all sports running around incognito -- in costumes and disguises to avoid the public eye as they still continued to do the things they loved to do. I'm not judging, but for whatever reason, it involved a lot of dressing in drag. Today, incognito

is back in the news, and it ties in neatly with one of the social epidemics facing school-age children and their parents. The subject of hazing and bullying, never far from the mind of any parent or school-age child, has reared its ugly head in yet another series of school shootings, mall shootings and, perhaps most bizarrely,

by Miami Dolphins Guard Richie Incognito. Incognito played college football for the University of Nebraska, a successful program with a spirited student body, but a program that seems to put forth a Christian Peter- or Richie Incognito-type player each decade or so.

Peter's problems were largely off the field and dealt more with sexual abuse. Incognito is now being accused of rampant bullying and cheap shotting both teammates and opponents.

According to ESPN and USA Today's sources, Incognitos victims were always rookies or people smaller than him. His cheap shots were pinches and spitting at the bottom of piles when referees couldn't see.

He allegedly hid behind Twitter to make racist, physically threatening statements to his teammates ... one who actually quit the team. As a professional, I have never heard of such a thing before. Incognitos days are over, it would appear. But that leads us to another conclusion regarding role models: Some role models are bad role models.
