The simple definition of genius is someone with “exception intellectual or creative ability.” That can certainly be said of the individuals Tidbits examines this week.

• What constitutes a genius IQ level? Intelligence tests are based on one devised by French psychologist Alfred Binet in the 1950s. Average intelligence falls between a score of 85 and 114. It’s estimated that about half of the world’s population has an IQ between 90 and 110. A score of about 160 is considered to be a genius. About 1% of all the people in the world are above 136. It’s believed that Einstein’s IQ was 160, while Mozart’s is estimated at 165.

• Considered the world’s first real child prodigy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began studying violin and harpsichord at age 3. At 5, he was performing at the University of Salzburg and at Vienna’s Imperial Court the following year. He was 6 when he began composing minuets and other short pieces. His first symphony came along at age 8 and an opera at 12. Mozart received all of his education from his father and never attended a school. He frequently experienced anxiety, loneliness, and sadness, and occasionally exhibited the symptoms of Tourette’s Syndrome and bipolarism. Although he only lived to age 35, he composed more than 600 pieces, including 68 symphonies, 27 piano concertos, horn concertos, violin sonatas, and many volumes of string quartet music.

• Albert Einstein was responsible for “the world’s most

GENIUSES (continued): famous equation,” E=mc2, the formula for mass-energy equivalence. Yet this German-born physicist failed his first college entrance exam, passing only the math and science sections, forcing him to attend a secondary school before retaking and passing the test a year later.

Einstein’s 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. He came to America on a visit in 1933, and made the decision to stay when new German laws prohibited him from teaching at any university there. He renounced his German citizenship, took a teaching position at Princeton, and became a U.S. citizen in 1940. Regarding the topic of genius, he once said, “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

• Regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all times, Isaac Newton almost became a farmer. His mother urged him to follow in his late father’s footsteps on the family farm, but this genius disliked the profession intensely. He attended Cambridge University, studying mathematics, physics, and astronomy. We’re most familiar with his theory of gravitation, developed after watching an apple fall from a tree. Most folks have also heard of his law of inertia that states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Another familiar Newton law is that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton was also responsible for the first practical reflecting telescope. Modern-day psychologists believe it’s quite possible that this genius had Asperger Syndrome, an autism disorder characterized by severe difficulties in social situations.

• Although we think of Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone, he had 17 other patents, including hydrofoil boats, aerial vehicles, and selenium cells. Bell was 29 years old and working on an improvement to the telegraph when he invented the telephone.

As a young boy, he had come up with a talking doll that said, “Mama,” and at age 12, built a device for the process of dehusking wheat. Following the shooting of President James Garfield in 1881, Bell quickly devised an electromagnetic apparatus to try to locate the bullet lodged in Garfield’s abdomen. In 1906, this genius with a vision said, “The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.”

• Robert “Bobby” Fischer was an American chess master, who at age 14, won the World Chess Championship, the youngest winner of the title. At 15, he was the youngest international grandmaster of all time. This son of a biophysicist father and a teacher, then nurse, then physician mother, Bobby learned chess when he was six years old, using the instructions from a chess set bought at a candy store. As a genius with an IQ of 187, he dropped out of high school at age 16 to dedicate himself to the game. His famous 1972 world championship match against the USSR’s Boris Spassky put Fischer in the public eye. After that match, he became a recluse and didn’t play a competitive game in public for nearly 20 years.

• A modern-day genius, 30-year-old Michael Kearney received his first bachelor’s degree at age 10, and had earned three more by age 21, followed by a doctorate in chemistry at 22. Kearney spoke his first words at four months, and at six months, surprised his pediatrician by saying, “I have a left ear infection.” By 10 months, he was reading, and graduated from high school at age six.

• When Edison was developing the phonograph, it wasn’t as a form of entertainment. He was more interested in its educational and business possibilities – teaching elocution and diction, recordings for the blind, dictation, and recording a teacher’s instructions. During the 1880s, this brilliant individual filed for a new patent on the average of every five days, more than 1,300 items over the course of his creative life. Because he had dyslexia, Edison spent just three months in public school before his mother chose to deal with his learning disability by homeschooling him. Although we mainly remember his “big” inventions, such as the stock ticker, voting machine, motion picture cam-

era and projector, phonograph, and incandescent light bulbs, Edison was also the inventor of waxed paper! As to being a genius, Edison had this to say, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.”

• Kim Ung-Yong’s IQ is approximately 210, perhaps the highest in the world. By his third birthday, he was reading Japanese, Korean, German, and English, and was enrolled as a physics student at South Korea’s Hanyang University. At 8, he was invited by NASA to study in the U.S. and work for the organization. After 10 years with NASA, he returned to Korea and obtained his doctorate in civil engineering.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

WILLIAM SHATNER Tidbits beams up the facts on this famous Canadian, most widely remembered as Captain James T. Kirk.

• Born in Montreal, Quebec in 1931, William Shatner got his start as a child performer on Canadian Broadcasting’s radio programs. While earning his Bachelor of Commerce degree from Montreal’s McGill University, Shatner spent his summers performing with the Royal Mount Theater Company, training as a Shakespearean actor. After graduation, he joined the Canadian National Repertory Theatre in Ottawa, acting regularly in the Shakespearean Stratford Festival of Canada in Stratford, Ontario.

• A far cry from his Shakespearean roots, Shatner was cast as Ranger Bob on the Canadian Howdy Doody Show in 1954. Although his first movie role was the part of “a crook” in the 1951 Canadian film, The Butler’s Night Off, Shatner’s first big role was at age 26 in 1958’s The Brothers Karamazov, along with Yul Brynner.

The early ‘60s were filled with lower-budget movies and TV guest spots for Shatner.

• It was Shatner’s casting as Captain James Tiberius Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise in 1966 that sealed his fame. Even though Star Trek was cancelled after just 79 episodes over three seasons due to low Nielsen ratings, the series became a cult classic with thousands of followers. The short-lived program generated five additional TV series, 12 movies, and books, video games, toys, and action figures.

• After Star Trek’s cancellation, life became tough for Shatner. He had been typecast as Captain Kirk and offers for roles were few. His wife divorced him, taking much of his money with her, and Shatner lost his home. He lived in a pickup truck camper, hoping for better roles to come along. He guest-starred on a number of game shows and did some TV commercials to make ends meet.

• In 1979, Paramount Pictures chose to produce a Star Trek movie, reuniting the original cast. The sequel, The Wrath of Khan,

came along in 1982, followed by six more films, ending with 1994’s Star Trek Generations with the death of Kirk.

• In the midst of filming the Star Trek movies, Shatner landed the role of police sergeant T. J. Hooker, a popular television series from 1982 to 1986. The reality show Rescue 911 followed in 1989, a seven-year stint. At age 73, he joined the cast of the legal drama The Practice in 1997, a series that spun off into Boston Legal, starring as the eccentric attorney Denny Crane, winning two Emmys for the role. Shatner has also been the spokesman for Priceline for 15 years, as well as writing several Star Trek novels, including The Ashes of Eden and Avenger.

• Shatner and his co-star Leonard “Spock” Nimoy both suffer from tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ears. The hearing of both men was damaged while filming a 1967 episode of Star Trek when they stood too close to a special effects explosion.

• Although he retains his Canadian citizenship, the 82-year-old Shatner, an avid horseman, and his wife own a 360-acre horse farm near Lexington, Kentucky. He has been honored with both a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a maple leaf on the Canadian Walk of Fame.

• Back in 1917, B.C. Forbes was a financial columnist for the Hearst newspaper franchise. Along with Walter Drey, the general manager of the Magazine of Wall Street, he founded Forbes magazine, a financial publication containing investing and market topics. Today his grandson Malcolm Forbes, Jr. is CEO and Editor-in Chief of Forbes. This periodical is famous for its miscellaneous lists, such as the 400 Richest Americans, the World’s Billionaires, and America’s Most Trustworthy Companies. According to Forbes, Bill Gates has been the richest American for the past 20 consecutive years, with a current estimated worth of $72 billion.

• On April 14, 1865, Actor John Wilkes Booth entered a private box at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. and shot President Abraham Lincoln with a .44-caliber single shot derringer as Lincoln watched a performance of Our American Cousin. Booth was a familiar face around the theater and a personal friend of the owner John T. Ford.

The structure was used as an office after the assassination for 28 years until the interior collapsed, killing 22 clerks and injuring 68 others. The damage was repaired and the building remodeled into a government warehouse, used until 1931, when it became a Lincoln museum. In 1968, a complete restoration of the historic theater was finished, and it reopened as a live performance venue. The site receives about a million visitors annually.

formaldehyde is used in building materials, including pressed-wood products, along with many household products. It’s also found in cigarette smoke, some glues, permanent press fabrics, fungicides, and disinfectants, and is a common medical lab preservative and widely used at mortuaries. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen, and studies suggest there is a connection between exposure and leukemia. Exposure can be especially irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat, causing coughing and inflammation of the respiratory tract.

• When gold was discovered in California at Sutter’s Mill in 1848, thousands flocked to the area seeking treasure. Most people headed there in 1849, giving them the nickname the Forty-Niners. That year, San Francisco’s population jumped

from 800 to more than 50,000. California’s head count increased by 86,000 people in two years. The folks who struck it rich weren’t the miners, but rather those who created businesses to serve the prospectors. Two well-known companies that came out of the era are Wells Fargo and Levi Strauss.

• Back in 1912, Westinghouse employees Daniel O’Conor and Herbert Faber teamed up on an invention to be used in electrical insulation. It was made of wrapped woven fabric coated with a thermosetting resin, which was flattened and cured in a press. They intended their product to replace mica in the insulation, and dubbed their invention Formica, because it was a substitute for mica. Today we most often think of Formica as a heat-resistant laminate with melamine resin for use on kitchen countertops.

Andie MacDowell Q: Can you tell me if and when "Cedar Cove" will return for another season? -- Richard O., Summerfield, Fla. A: The Hallmark Channel has renewed the phenomenally successful series, which is based on the book series of the same name by Debbie Macomber, for a second season. The show's first season made Hallmark Channel the No. 1 cable channel for Saturday nights during the 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. time slot. With internationally renowned actress Andie MacDowell leading the cast -- which includes Dylan Neal, Teryl Rothery, Bruce Boxleitner, Barbara Niven and Brennan Elliott -- season two of "Cedar Cover" promises more of the same drama, romance and fun. There is no word on the premiere date yet, but I'd start looking for it this summer. And of course, I'll let you know as soon as I know exactly when it will return. *** Q: Would you know anything about the fantastic TV series "24" with Kiefer Southerland? I thought they were bringing it back, or at least making a movie. -- Dick W., via email A: I did report on this about six months ago, but since this is such a hot subject -- I get tons of letters from readers asking me the same question -- I'll write about it again, with some new information to pass along. Fox is indeed airing a new version of "24," which is called "24: Live Another Day." This go 'round, it will be a 12-part series but will still cover the requisite 24 hours. Kiefer will return, as will Mary Lynn Rajskub, William Devane and Kim Raver.

Kiefer recently told the press that the series will take place in London, stating: "'24' has always had such a global sensibility, but to be able to tell this intense '24'-style story with the beauty of Europe's history and architecture as the backdrop is going to be fascinating."

Fox's entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly teased reporters that the show's pickup intrigued many industry stars. "A lot of who's who in Hollywood wanted to participate in this," he revealed. Be on the lookout for "24: Live Another Day" this May on Fox. *** Q: Please tell me that Animal Planet will be airing another "Puppy Bowl" this Super Bowl Sunday! -- Tina W., Portland, Maine

examples of how professionals applied the book's tips to their careers, especially across different life stages and in different industries, round out the narrative of how important personal branding is to having a successful career.

A core tenant of the book is that how colleagues perceive you is just as important as the actual work you are producing. Covering how to leverage new forms of media such as social networking sites, blogs and managing one's digital presence, as well as how to spend time wisely doing activities that enhance one's reputation at work (like joining the company sports team), "Promote Yourself" is packed with personal branding insights.

What kind of work achievements should you be sharing with your boss and team, and how do you share those achievements while still being likable and not "bragging"? How do you a build a network of contacts, both in and outside of work?

Can you be an entrepreneur while still working at a company? Author Dan Schawbel, a columnist at both Time and Forbes, answers these questions and many more.

When stressed or rushed, many of us revert to our old, familiar habits. If those habits aren't healthy, that's when poor choices are made. Habits may include grabbing high-fat doughnuts, stopping at convenient fast-food restaurants, eating larger portions or making afternoon visits to the vending machine.

This recipe for Sweet Potato Hummus is a healthy snack to pack for the days when you're on the go.

The orange flesh of the sweet potato gives away its beta-carotene content. By serving this dip with whole-wheat pita and raw vegetables such as red peppers and broccoli, you'll also get selenium, vitamin C and sulforaphane.

Chickpeas/Garbanzo beans are a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber and help to prevent blood-sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal.

Chickpeas are high in protein and also promote slow burning of complex carbohydrates, thus increasing your energy by replenishing your iron stores.

Peanut butter adds a boost of protein and a creamy texture to the hummus.

Divide the Hummus into serving-size containers along with several individual packages of vegetable sticks so you'll always have a nutritious snack to grab and go! © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc., and Angela Shelf Medearis

• On Jan. 29, 1845, Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven," which begins "Once upon a midnight dreary," is published in the New York Evening Mirror. Poe's macabre work often portrayed motiveless crimes and intolerable guilt in his characters.

• On Feb. 2, 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring.

• On Jan. 30, 1943, the British Royal Air Force begins a bombing campaign in Berlin that coincides with the 10th anniversary of Hitler's accession to power. To make matters worse for the Germans, the following day a massive surrender of German troops occurred at Stalingrad.

• On Jan. 27, 1967, a launch-pad fire during Apollo program tests at Cape Canaveral, Fla., kills astronauts Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chafee. An investigation indicated that a faulty electrical wire inside the Apollo 1 command module was the probable cause of the fire.

HOLLYWOOD -- J.K. Rowling's post-"Harry Potter" project (slated for 2015) is a screenplay, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," for Warner Brothers. It's planned as the first in a series of films about the titular Hogwarts textbook and the adventures of the author. As for her three "Harry Potter" stars: Daniel Radcliff had "Kill Your Darlings" (which grossed only $928,051) and is awaiting release of the Canadian film "Horns" and the British film "The F Word" in 2014. He's currently playing Igor, the faithful assistant to Dr. Frankenstein (James McAvoy) in a new "Frankenstein" film, and has "Tokyo Vice" and "Gold," in which he'll play Olympic gold medalist Sebastian Coe, slated for 2015 release.

Emma Watson did "This Is the End" and "The Bling Thing," due out in 2013, and stars as Ila, adopted daughter of "Noah" (Russell Crowe), along with Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth, hitting screens in March. Rupert Grint did "CBGB," which grossed only $40,000, and the upcoming animated film "Postman Pat: The Movie" with former "Dr. Who" David Tennant. Grint recently appeared on the London stage in "Mojo," to good reviews. *** Not long ago, Raquel Welch appeared with Joan Rivers on "Fashion Police." She said she was 73 years old, yet looked as beautiful and sexy as she did when she was a sex symbol in the 1960s and '70s. Welch has been married four times, has two children, made more than 40 films, was last seen on "CSI: Miami" in 2012 and last October in Lifetime's "House of Versace" TV film, with Gina Gershon.

• On Feb. 1, 1974, University of Washington student Lynda Ann Healy disappears from her apartment and is murdered by serial killer Ted Bundy. In the summer of 1974, Bundy attacked at least seven young women in Washington. By the time he was captured in 1979, Bundy had become America's most infamous serial killer.

• On Jan. 28, 1985, 45 American music artists gather to record "We Are the World," a record that would eventually sell more than 7 million copies and raise some $60 million for African famine relief. The instruction producer Quincy Jones sent to pop stars doing the recording: "Check your egos at the door."

• On Jan. 31, 1990, the Soviet Union's first McDonald's fast-food restaurant opens in Moscow. Throngs of people line up to pay the equivalent of several days' wages for Big Macs, shakes and french fries. Customers were most amazed at the politeness of the workers. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

She starred with some of biggest names in film, including Elvis Presley in "Roustabout" (1964), Doris Day in "Do Not Disturb" (1965), Stephen Boyd in "Fantastic Voyage" (1966), James Stewart and Dean Martin in "Bandolaro" (1968), Robert Wagner in "The Biggest Bundle of Them All" (1968), Frank Sinatra in "Lady in Cement" (1968), Burt Reynolds in "100 Rifles" (1969), Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr in "The Magic Christian" (1969), Mae West and Farrah Fawcett in "Myra Breckinridge" (1970) and Richard Burton in "Bluebeard" (1972).

At the height of her fame, I encountered her at a Hollywood soiree. She walked up to me and asked, "Are you Tony Rizzo?"

I said, "Yes." She extended her hand, "Hi, I'm Raquel Welch." In shock I said, "Yes I know." She replied, "I pay clipping services a fortune, and I've read several things you've written praising my work, I just wanted to thank you, in person." As you know from reading my column, I'm never at a loss for words, but she sure did hush my mouth with that! © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

MAKE A MESS A MINUTE: Kids love a good mess. Let's face it -- mess is often the sign of a good time. Relax, and enjoy moments of discovery and creation.

CARRY ON TRADITIONS, AND START YOUR OWN: Traditions connect us through generations. It might be a special candlestick that comes out once a year, a recipe, a special way of saying "Thank you." Share the old and create the new in 2014.

BUILD A STRONG FAMILY

GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME: The formative years matter.

The moments you spend with the children in your life now will help mold them into giving, resourceful and caring adults.

Building a strong family is like building a house: We do it brick by brick, one day at a time. Here are some "bricks" that I try to focus on annually in January. I get inspired with these little reminders, as I adjust my thinking and goals for my family of five, and also for my extended family as it grows and changes with the seasons and the years.

***

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My friend adopted a little mixed terrier that he named "Jessie." She must have come from an abusive situation because she trembles terribly, barks and sometimes pees whenever anyone but my friend tries to interact with her. I always thought I could get along with any dog, but Jessie is terrified of me. What can I do to make friends? -- Casey in Sioux City, Iowa

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT YIELD BIG RESULTS: It's the little things we remember from childhood, like sledding with Mom, jumping into a pile of leaves with Dad or making pancakes with an uncle on a Saturday morning.

DEAR CASEY: Sometimes it can be extremely difficult to make friends with other people's pets. Temperament and the dog or cat's early environment can play big roles in how they interact with others outside their perceived family unit.

MAKE THE ORDINARY EXTRAORDINARY: Stop and take a moment with children to appreciate the joy and wonder of the world around them.

LOOK THROUGH A DIFFERENT PAIR OF GLASSES: Everyone has a unique frame of reference. Encourage kids to see things from another point of view.

SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE WITH KIDS: Parents and other significant adults in their lives are kids' No. 1 teachers. You're an expert on something. Share your talent or hobby with kids.

Donna Erickson's award-winning series "Donna's Day" is airing on public television nationwide. To find more of her creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday.com and link to the NEW Donna's Day Facebook fan page. Her latest book is "Donna Erickson's Fabulous Funstuff for Families."

Jessie might not have come from an abusive situation; it could be that she wasn't socialized correctly. And if she was just dumped at the shelter (or who knows where else), she could have been traumatized by being abandoned. It's a sad and tough situation, but it sounds like your friend is giving her great care, and they have bonded.

© 2014 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd.

Don't get frustrated if Jessie doesn't take to you immediately. Always give her a friendly "hello" when you come in. If she backs away or gets nervous when you reach out to pat her, pull back calmly.

TEACH, BUT NEVER STOP LEARNING: Learning is a two-way street. Don't know how to snowboard? Having trouble with an app you just downloaded? Chances are your kids can help you out.

GIVE NERVOUS NELLY SOME TIME, SPACE

OFF Purchase

She eventually may come to you to sniff your hand or your ankle -- stay calm and say nice, soothing words. If she sniffs your hand without backing away, try gently running your hand along her jawline to her ear, and scratch her ear gently. Don't try to pat the top of her head, and don't press your face into hers -- many dogs react negatively to these motions.

It could be weeks or months before Jessie allows you to pet her, or maybe never. But give her time and space to feel confident and safe enough to let you in as well.

THE ROLE OF SUGAR IN SUGAR DIABETES DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds. He is a competitive distance runner. He loves Kool-Aid and calculates that in a year he drinks 150 pounds of sugar in Kool-Aid alone.

A friend told him if he continues this habit, he might develop diabetes. Can a skinny, athletic person develop diabetes from consuming sugar? -- S.B. ANSWER: Although "sugar" is half the name of sugar diabetes, sugar doesn't cause diabetes. It's a popular belief that it does, but it doesn't. People with diabetes are careful to watch their sugar intake, and they watch their total carbohydrate intake, but diabetics don't have to eliminate sugar completely from their lives. Careful monitoring of sugar and carbohydrate intake is essential for their control of blood sugar.

Type 1 diabetes, the kind that requires insulin for control, often has its onset in younger years. It's due to a destruction of the insulin-making cells of the pancreas. The destruction is believed to be the work of the immune system. Sugar has nothing to do with it. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 percent to 10 percent of all diabetes cases.

Type 2 diabetes, the much more common kind, comes about from a decline in insulin production along with a decline in the effectiveness of insulin. Ninety percent of Type 2 diabetics are overweight, and weight loss helps them control their blood sugar. Physical inactivity also contributes to Type 2 diabetes. So do genes. Again, it's not the sugar intake that produces this common type of diabetes. But monitoring the intake of sugar is important for control of this variety of diabetes.

The booklet on diabetes presents this illness and its treatments in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 402W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

What’s truly amazing about MAP PEMF Therapy is that it actually regrows cartilage as well as increases bone density.

It has been used by thousands of people, including many professional athletes.

*** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I think I may have the illness where a person pulls out clumps of hair. I'm not sure of the name. I find I do this after I have caffeine. I have been off caffeine for 25 years, and I do not pull my hair out. I thought this might be helpful to others. -- K.H.

It is now available at the WellCo Health & Wellness Center in Hallandale Beach.

ANSWER: The name of the condition is trichotillomania (TRICK-oh-TILL-uh-MAY-knee-uh). Between 4 million and 11 million Americans have it. It's called an impulse disorder. I hadn't heard about a caffeine connection. If this holds true for others, they will deeply appreciate your advice. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You recently wrote that Excedrin with caffeine enhances pain relief. I believe that often the cause of headaches is withdrawal from caffeine. Another inference of this fact is to wean oneself from caffeine when trying to kick the habit. -- B.B. ANSWER: You're right. One of the withdrawal symptoms from going cold turkey off somewhat-heavy caffeine consumption is headache, particularly migraine headache.

I'm right. Caffeine is a mild painkiller that increases the painkilling capacities of other analgesics when incorporated into the same tablet as those analgesics.

CHRONIC PAIN IS DEBILITATING AND QUICKLY ERODES QUALITY OF LIFE Now, a new medical technology allows many patients suffering from back or join pain to avoid surgery and return to the activities and lifestyles they enjoyed previously.

Map PEMF Therapy is a painless noninvasive method of delivering a pioneering new branch of a invisible treatment that provides a revolutionary cure you were waiting for.

A rapid acceleration, which recovers and restores a pain-free lifestyle. The treatment works on all joint problems, tears, sprains, fractures and repetitive injuries such as carpel tunnel, arthritis, and osteoarthritis.

MAP PEMF Therapy can help patients avoid hip and knee replacements and provide rapid alternative recovery methods.

HOW IT W ORKS If you have ever held two magnets in your hands, tried to force them together, and felt a resistance between them, then you have experienced a magnetic field.

PEMF stands for Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields, which are widely used these days to improve circulation and cell metabolism.

The body can become accustomed to nonmoving (or static) magnetic fields, which are generally unable to deeply penetrate the body.

A pulsed electromagnetic field, however, is quite dynamic, is able to penetrate all the way through the body, and creates a cascade of effects within the body.

The MAP PEMF Therapy uses moving magnets creating an energy wave which changes the way your body copes with pain.

The electrical magnets affect the nerve cells which are electrical cells and the magnetic fields affect how the nerves fire and quite them down without using drugs increasing circulation in the area and aid the healing.

Inside the MAP there are electrical coils, and when electricity passes through there it creates a magnetic field that moves through the body whispering at 75 trillion cells in your body going deep into your body where sports creams and heating pads could never reach such as your spine.

The magnetic field turns on activating ions and charged particles bringing in nutrients influencing things like blood cell supply opening up blood cells. You don’t just feel better you are better.

The cost is far less than surgery, and patients avoid the long recovery times and possible side effects associated with surgery.

MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING Like all of my favorite stories, this one starts in Philadelphia.

It is one day before the New Orleans Saints come marching into town to take on the slightly favored Eagles in the wildcard playoff game. It is also one day before the "polar vortex" is scheduled to ruin everyone's travel plans ... or at least the congregation huddled at the bar inside the Westin Rittenhouse Square. For the most part, we're low rollers, and rates have skyrocketed.

At the end of the bar, a pretty woman who we learn is a New Orleans Saints fan sends back her French fries.

She explains in a London accent that because she so seldom orders French fries, she would like an order that

is, you know, good. I have to admire that. We're at the point in America where if you mess up a hamburger or fries, you're either a jerk or you're not trying hard enough.

We agree to retreat to the airport hotels as we pay our bills -- all of us except for the Saints fan, who got her meal free due to poor French fries. She suggests we decamp to Atlantic City instead. At checkout, I watch her roll the front desk like Obi Wan Kenobi at a storm trooper checkpoint in Mos Eisley.

"These are not the charges I am looking for," she huffs.

She gets comped, and yeah, I'm going to Atlantic City to learn the ways of the force.

TIDBITS - Please Support Our Advertisers ®

During the trip, I learn she isn't British, but from New England, and some of her stories make her more Artful Dodger than Jedi knight.

Still, she does take the time to explain how hotels and casinos offer reward points.

"Money is, like, where you put it," she says to me. "Understand?"

I don't, but I get the general gist of offering a cheap room to get people into the casinos.

Atlantic City is the Mos Eisley of America ... it can be a retched hive of scum and villainy. It stands, for many, as a symbol of casino gambling's failed promise: Since gaming was legalized in the '70s, the school system has gotten worse and crime rates and unemployment have skyrocketed. To stave off competition from Pennsylvania and Connecticut casinos, AC has tried to offer more of a Las Vegas resort-style vibe. It really isn't working.

It does, however, have more Philadelphians at the steakhouse bar watching the football games the next day as compared to Vegas, and they're a riot ... even after Drew Brees rips their hearts out. But, like all Philadelphians do in their great every-man, working-class tradition, when faced with another Eagles loss, they complain about Andy Reid.

"Yeah, well at least Kansas City lost!" "Andy Reid! Ten years as a head coach and he still cannot figure out how to run the clock. Lost a timeout at the 2:00 warning!"

"Best head coach in the NFL ... Monday through Friday!"

Me, I'm upset that I can't bet on the games. I'm not even a gambler, but I love visiting the sports book in Vegas during the NFL playoffs. That's when the absurdity of AC and the Artful Dodger's comments hit me with full force.

How come I'm listening to people complain about failed revitalization and lack of revenue when New Jersey won't even take my money?

The Super Bowl is coming to New Jersey, at great expense to the taxpayers of the state, and you can't bet on the game at their gambling Mecca. Brilliant. What are they afraid of? An increase in crime?

ie and dinner out, rent a flick, fix snacks at home and put that extra money on the card payment at the end of the month. (This is especially helpful if you're in shock when you look at the holiday credit-card statements that have come in.)

--Don't buy the sweater or pair of jeans that catches your eye, even if on sale, and send the extra money with your mortgage check as a principal payment.

A DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR EARNED How are you doing so far on your financial New Year's resolutions to lower your expenses? It's the little things that will add up to big money over the course of a year.

Grab a calculator and do the math.

Are you still buying a trenta mocha frappuccino on the way to work? Coffee purchased five days a week at 52 weeks comes to $1,300 if the coffee costs $5.

Tack on another $900 if you add a breakfast sandwich to go. (How many mortgage or car payments is that $2,200?)

Vending-machine snacks at $2 a day comes to more than $500.

A $7 lunch special adds some $1,800 to your yearly expenses.

A $25 bestseller purchased every month comes to $300; you could save if you get your books from the library instead.

Everyday tactics to find extra money: --To pay off credit-card debt a bit faster, forgo one mov-

--At the grocery store, ask when the hot foods at the deli counter are discounted to half price. Chances are it's 30 minutes before the deli closes.

--Try house brands of food. You might be surprised.

--Go online and use this as your search parameter: save money. Browse the millions of hits and pick a few ideas that sound like things you'd actually try.

--Drop all your change into a jar and let it add up for a year. Run it through a coin counter at your bank where they won't charge you a percentage.

--See something at a store that you just have to have?

Wait. Think about it for a whole day.

--Plan ahead. Keep track of birthdays and give-gifting occasions and buy when you see something priced well.

You'll save rushing around at the last minute and paying more than you really want to.

--If a year-long savings plan is too big to contemplate, break it into monthly or even weekly goals.

By Samantha Mazzotta Trees Offer Surprising Year-Round Insulation Q: An acquaintance told me recently that I could plant a tree on the west side of my house to keep my summer cooling bills down. Well, I live in a colder northern state, and it just doesn't make sense to plant a tree that would block the sun in the winter. My friend disagreed.

What's your recommendation? -- Susie in Madison, Wis. A: The great thing about trees is that they have the ability to both keep your house cool in summer and warmer in winter. In Minnesota, a state study found that strategically placed shade trees can reduce air-conditioning bills by nearly 25 percent, and a windbreak can reduce annual fuel bills by up to 20 percent.

How does it work? It all depends on where you place the trees.

In the northern hemisphere, winter winds generally blow in from the north or northwest. (In the Northeast, we also tend to get those wonderful winter nor'easters, but that's another story.) Those cold winds can make it harder to heat your home as they drive in through vents or leaky window- and door frames.

• I love baked goods. Here are some good tips that I use all the time: 1) Use a wine glass to cut biscuits. 2) Set a loaf of baked bread on a tea towel, top down, then use a serrated knife to cut from the bottom.

Your slices will look perfect, since you won't crush the top. -- JoAnn

Plant a couple of trees on the side of your house from which these prevailing winter winds blow (the northwest side or corner, most likely), and they'll act as a windbreak.

Even deciduous trees that lose their leaves in the winter can provide adequate protection.

• If your family likes stuffing, try baking it in muffin tins for single servings. It works very well.

To get the best protection from winds while allowing more winter sunlight to reach your home, choose trees that will grow higher than your home's roof eaves, with sturdy trunks and good branching. Deciduous trees will lose their leaves in winter so that the sunlight can filter in, while perennials (like pines or firs) offer a green view yearround. You might even want to mix these two types of trees.

HOME TIP: Plant protective trees one to two tree lengths (based on the average height to which the saplings eventually will grow) from the house, but no farther.

• "Here's a great chore for little kids. Our family seems to leave shoes all over the house. I will have my 4-year-old collect the shoes and deliver them to the room of the person to whom the shoes belong.

It's a very easy chore, and even is like a game sometimes." -- A.J. in Texas • "When cooking from a recipe that I'm not super-familiar with, I tape it to the front of my kitchen cabinet. It's in a central location, easy to see and won't get dirty. If it turns out to be something I like, I put it in a plastic sleeve protector in my cookbook. I can still pull it out and tape it to the cabinet when necessary." -R.G. in Georgia

• "I use a garment rack to dry outerwear overnight. Hang from skirt hangers (the ones with clips), and make sure there is plenty of room for air to circulate around the damp pieces. I use a small fan pointed at the rack, and make sure it's in a warm location, as this doesn't work so well in our cold utility room." -- D.L. in Michigan Send your tips to Now Here's a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
