February is Black History Month, and this week, Tidbits takes some time to recognize the achievements of some noted African-Americans in various ďŹ elds.

• U.S. President Gerald Ford ofďŹ cially declared this tribute in 1976 as part of America’s Bicentennial, prevailing upon citizens to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.â€? But the observance traces its roots back to 1926, when African-American historian and author Carter Woodson declared the second week of February to be Negro History Week. Woodson, one of the ďŹ rst scholars to study black history was also the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. That particular week was chosen because the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass fell at that time.

• Frederick Douglass was born a slave in Maryland around 1818.

After being shufed around from one plantation to another, he was given to a Baltimore family. Although it was illegal to teach slaves to read, the owner’s wife began teaching Douglass when he was 12. Soon he was reading newspapers and political material, molding his views on freedom and human rights.

psychologically shattered, and began to plot his escape. After one failed attempt, he was finally successful at age 18, boarding a train posing as a free black sailor. Less than 24 hours later, Douglass was sheltered in a safe house of a New York abolitionist. Eleven days later he married a free black woman who had helped him escape, a union that would endure 44 years.

He spent the remainder of his life speaking out on racism, editing a black newspaper, writing three autobiographies, and gaining fame worldwide as an inspirational speaker.

• On Independence Day, 1881, the doors of “Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers” opened with a young principal named Booker T. Washington at the helm. This 25-year-old leader began classes in a run-down old church. The institute was founded by former slave Lewis Adams and George W. Campbell, an Alabama banker and former slaveholder, who were both committed to the education of blacks. Adams had no formal education, yet could read, write, and speak several languages. In 1882, the school bought a plantation, and new campus buildings were constructed. By 1900, the university sat on nearly 2,300 acres. Today it’s ranked as one of the “Best Regional Colleges in the South,” offering 35 bachelor’s degrees, 12 masters’ programs, an architecture program, two doctoral degree programs, and a school of veterinary medicine.

• Born into slavery, George Washington Carver went on to become one of the world’s most renowned botanists and scientists. Because the soil of the south had become depleted by planting nothing but cotton for years, Carver developed methods of improving the soil through crop rotation. Alternating the cotton planting with peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, nitrogen was restored to the soil while providing nutritious crops for farm families. Through years of research and development, Carver came up with 300 uses for peanuts, including cosmetics, plastics, gasoline, adhesives, linoleum, synthetic rubber, and nitroglycerin. He also discovered hundreds of uses for soybeans, pecans, and sweet potatoes, and developed 536 different dyes while experimenting with plant leaves, fruit, stems, and roots. The scuppernong grape alone yielded 49 of these dyes. At age 32, Carver was invited by Booker T. Washington, the president of Tuskegee Institute, to head up the school’s Agriculture Department, and Carver remained there as an educator for 47 years, all the while continuing his famous research.

• On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson stepped to the plate at Ebbets Field as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the first African-American to play major league baseball. After being raised in poverty, he attended Pasadena Junior College, excelling in football, basketball, track, and baseball, chosen as the region’s Most Valuable Player in baseball in 1938. Dodgers’ president Branch Rickey chose Robinson to help integrate the major leagues. Robinson was Rookie of the Year in 1947, National League MVP in 1949, and World Series champ in 1955.

During his decade-long career with the Dodgers, he became their highest-paid player. He closed out his career in 1957 with a .311 batting average.

• Rosa Parks, the “Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement,” made history in 1955 when she refused to surrender her seat in the 11th row of a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Parks was arrested for violating city code and for disorderly conduct, although she had not technically broken any law. Montgomery’s 50-year old law stated that no passenger could be forced to give up a seat or stand on a crowded bus. Nevertheless, her 30-minute trial resulted in a guilty verdict, and Rosa was fined $14 plus court costs.

Rosa’s actions spurred a 381-day boycott of the city’s buses, organized in part by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who said, “…it is more honorable to walk in dignity than ride in humiliation.” Since 75% of the bus customers were black, the finances of the public bus companies plunged, but by the end of the boycott, the segregation of the buses was at an end. When Rosa Parks died in 2006, newly-appointed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke at the memorial service, declaring to mourners that she would not be standing there as Secretary of State without Rosa Parks.

• Condoleezza Rice was the second woman to serve as Secretary of State, but was the first African-American female to hold the position. Prior to her work for the George Bush administration, Rice had been a professor of political science at Stanford University, and in 2010, she returned to the faculty of that institution’s graduate school of business. It’s appropriate that her name Condoleezza, comes from a music-related term, con dolcezza, which in Italian means “with sweetness,” as she spends much of her time playing the piano. At 15, her goal was to become a concert pianist, and she still plays with a chamber music group on a regular basis.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

KEANU REEVES • Although born in Beirut, Lebanon, Keanu Reeves is a U.S. citizen because of his Hawaiian-born American father. He is also a Canadian citizen through naturalization. His English-born mother also gives him British citizenship, but Reeves considers himself a Canadian. His father abandoned the family when Reeves was just three years old, and he grew up in Toronto. His unusual first name comes from the Hawaiian language meaning “cool breezes over the mountains.”

• School was not a pleasant experience for Reeves, who attended five high schools in five years. Challenged by dyslexia, he chose to spend his time on the hockey rink as a successful goalie. His dream of playing hockey for Canada was shattered by an injury, and he began working at a hockey rink while taking acting lessons. His ice-skating abilities paid off in 1986 when he landed his first movie appearance as a Canadian goalie in the film Youngblood with Rob Lowe.

Shortly afterward, he made the move to L.A. After a string of minor roles, Reeves’ first big break came in 1989 when he was 25, with a role in the comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

• Reeves’ early career wasn’t all about the movies. In 1991, he started playing bass guitar with the grunge band Dogstar, a passion he enjoyed until 2002. Dogstar experienced success for several years, opening for Bon Jovi in 1995 and appearing in concert with David Bowie, as well as appearing in two movies.

• Reeves’ reputation received a huge boost in 1994 when he was cast opposite Sandra Bullock in the action film Speed as an LAPD officer who keeps a bomb from exploding aboard a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph. Reeves did 90% of his own stunts for Speed. The film was extremely successful and a sequel was planned. Surprisingly, Reeves turned down the offer of an $11 million paycheck as well as another role opposite Robert DeNiro in the crime thriller Heat.

He opted to tour with his band and to appear in the Manitoba Theatre Centre production

of Hamlet in Winnipeg. His performance during the 24-day engagement earned him a reviewer’s comments declaring Reeves as “one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he IS Hamlet.”

• In 1999, Reeves took his most famous role, that of a computer hacker named Neo, in the sci-fi thriller The Matrix. He was chosen over the likes of Leonardo DeCaprio, Will Smith, and Brad Pitt. The film grossed more than $171 million in the U.S. alone. Reeves spent 11 months in Australia in 2002 filming the sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions back-to-back. The two films were released six months apart in 2003. Reeves received $15 million per film, and 15% of the profits, earning him more than $150 million for the project. Each of Reeves’ 12 stuntmen received a gift of a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle as a gesture of his appreciation.

• In 2001, Reeves became a published author when he released Ode to Happiness, described as a “grown-up’s picture book” on coping with life’s sorrows. Reeves has had his own share of sorrows, including the 1999 stillbirth of his daughter, followed by his long-time girlfriend’s death in an auto accident 18 months later.

FAMOUS SANDRAS

Here’s the word on some famous ladies with something in common – they’re all named Sandra!

• Sandra Day O’Connor grew up on an Arizona ranch where she became an accomplished horsewoman at a young age.

After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in economics in 1950 and completing law school, she set out to find a job. At least 40 law firms refused to even interview her because she was a woman. Sandra took a job working for the county attorney in San Mateo County, California, working for free just to get her foot in the door. It wasn’t long before she was the deputy county attorney there. In 1965, she became Arizona’s assistant Attorney General, before making the move to politics as a state senator

in 1969, becoming the first woman to serve as its Majority Leader. O’Connor advanced to the Arizona State Court of Appeals, where she was when she was asked to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. On July 7, 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed O’Connor as the first female justice of the nation’s highest court, a position she retained until her retirement in 2006.

She is famously quoted as saying, “The power I exert on the court depends on the power of my arguments, not on my gender.”

• Alexandra Zuck was just 12 years old and was already a successful model, having made her debut in Girl Scouts Magazine. She was signed to her first film Until They Sail in 1957, using the stage name of Sandra Dee. By 1959, she was a box-office hit in the beach

movie Gidget and another romantic film A Summer Place. In 1960, at age 18, while filming Come September, she was teamed with co-star, pop idol Bobby Darin. After a whirlwind one-month courtship, the two married.

• For several years, Sandra Dee was voted as one of the most popular and top moneymaking box office stars, 7th on the list in 1960, 6th the following year after starring in Tammy, 9th in 1962, and 8th in 1963. But by 1965, her popularity was waning.

Her 1967 divorce from Darin hurt her innocent youthful appeal and the studio dropped her contract. This beautiful blonde’s life spiraled out of control over the next several years, particularly after Darin’s early death at age 37. But after two decades of seclusion, she reemerged for a short time in

a few productions. Kidney complications claimed her life in 2005.

• If Sandra Bullock had followed in her mother’s footsteps, she’d be an opera singer! With Sandra’s German mother continually on the road performing, the family spent much of Sandra’s childhood abroad. She often performed in the children’s chorus in various productions. Her grandfather was actually a rocket scientist in Germany! After being voted “Most Likely to Brighten Up Your Day” by her high school class, Sandra began studying acting at a North Carolina university. She then moved to New York

City to pursue a stage career, which led to TV roles, followed by small movie parts.

Her first big role was in 1994’s Speed opposite Keanu Reeves. While You Were Sleeping, Miss Congeniality, and The Proposal made her

a bigger star. It was her role in The Blind Side in 2009 that earned Bullock her first Academy Award. Since the break-up of her marriage, she has been a single mom to her son Louis, whom she adopted in 2010.

by Samantha Weaver • It was writer and cartoonist James Thurber who made the following sage observation: "Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility."

• Those who study such things say that if you happen to find lint in your belly button, it's more likely to be blue than any other color.

• The name of the state of Alabama comes from the Choctaw word "albah," which means "plant-cutters."

• Accident or not? At an evening event in 1989, a bottle of wine once owned by Thomas Jefferson was up for sale. The asking price? $500,000. It seems nobody was willing to pony up the cash, and at the end of the night there was no sale. At that point, a waiter (inadvertently?) dropped the bottle, destroying the unprofitable item. The bottle was insured, however, and the merchant did end up with $250,000.

• The White House was not designed by an American. It was Irish architect James Hoban who won the competition to create the architectural plans for the home of the political leader of the United States.

• Before he became president, George H.W. Bush was, for a time, the youngest aviator in the history of the U.S. Navy, getting his wings just three days before he turned 19. *** Thought for the Day: "When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty.

ning comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will take its place, with "Mindy" returning when "Brooklyn" ends its freshman season.

The folks over at "The Mindy Project" are regrouping and retooling as the series tries to get out of its sophomore ratings' slump.

Q: Can you tell me what Sharon Stone has been up to lately? -- Kellie T., via email

Personally, and I know a lot of people who agree with me, the show really has found its comedic stride this season, so I hope they are able to get the numbers they need for a third-season renewal. If not, then we will have lost one of the most intelligent, well-written and well-acted comedies that I've seen in a long time.

Sharon Stone

A: Oscar nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Sharon Stone has signed on to star in a new TNT action-drama, tentatively titled "Agent X." Written by William Blake Herron ("The Bourne Identity"), "Agent X" stars Sharon as America's first female vice president, Natalie Maccabee, a woman with brains, beauty and a cool composure that belies a restless mind. Initially apprehensive that her job would be only ceremonial in nature, she soon learns that it comes with a top-secret duty: protecting the Constitution in times of great crisis with the aid of her chief steward and a secret operative designated as Agent X. There is no word yet on when the pilot will air, but I'm thinking it would be a perfect summer series. *** Q: Can you tell me when my favorite show, "The Mindy Project," will be back? I was so happy that Mindy and Danny finally kissed, and I can't wait to see what's next. -- Janie F. in Colorado A: "The Mindy Project" will return to Fox with all-new episodes on April 1 (no joke). In the meantime, the Golden Globe-win-

*** Q: A while back I heard about a new reality series called "Nashville Confidential," which was to be about the wives of prominent Nashville husbands (singers, songwriters, businessmen, etc.). However, I haven't seen anything about it since. -- Doreen D., via email A: TNT is on track with its Nashville-based reality series; however, the name has changed to "Private Lives of Nashville Wives." The series is set in and around the capital of the high-stakes country-music business, and will follow a group of accomplished, opinionated and driven women as they deal with professional challenges, family issues and social relationships. The cast of wives includes Erika Page White (wife of country singer Bryan White), Sarah Davidson (wife of songwriter Dallas Davidson) and Cassie Chapman (wife of Christian-music artist Gary Chapman). The series premieres Monday, Feb. 24, at 10/9c. *** Q: My grandfather would like to know when "Longmire" is going to be back on. -- LeeAnn R., via email A: Longmire will return for a 10-episode third season this summer on A&E. I'll be sure to let you know when I have an exact date.

"BEHIND THE SCENES AT DOWNTON ABBEY"

by Emma Rowley, foreword by Gareth Neame (St. Martin's Press, $29.99) Reviewed by Larry Cox The concept of the television series "Downton Abbey" began with a dinner and an idea. Award-winning producer Gareth Neame commissioned Julian Fellowes to write the first episode, which was broadcast by ITV in Britain. The series, now in its fourth season, it is extremely popular not just in the U.K., but in America as well.

In this remarkable book, Emma Rowley, a journalist for The Telegraph newspaper in London, used her unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to provide insider information, such as the inspiration behind the details on screen, the choice of locations, the music and much more. Her highly illustrated book is like a backstage pass divided into seven main chapters: scripts, sets, props, wardrobe, hair and makeup, insider knowledge and the "Downton Abbey" legacy.

It is the attention to historic detail that makes this series such a hit. From the period costumes to the historically correct food being served -- both upstairs and downstairs -- the accuracy is astounding. The solidity of the sets offers an intimate look at both a place and time.

For example, downstairs, the floors are paved with flagstone and the corridors, unlike the other rooms in the house, have lower ceilings that correctly show the staff areas of a working country house. It is rather claustrophobic, especially when you put a group of 15 cast members in the servants' hall. But as Nigel Willoughby, director of photography, observes, if you light everything from outside the set, and you're not afraid to let people walk through dark areas, it works.

By delving into the secrets, previously private experiences and tricks of the trade involved in producing the series, all aspects of the making of "Downton Abbey" are documented and examined. This fascinating book allows readers to learn how the drama is created and helps explain why it has become such a hit with viewers. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

BRAIN TRAINING REALLY DOES WORK Research on seniors who underwent brain training shows that the effects were still there 10 years later. The 3,000 seniors, with an average age of 74, only had to participate in a dozen or so training sessions lasting about an hour each to get years of gain.

To see the processing-speed training in action, go online to www.positscience.com and sample a few of the questions.

The study, done by Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, was called the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study, or ACTIVE. Participants were divided into four groups: three receiving training in memory (word lists), processing speed (identifying objects) or reasoning (looking for number patterns), plus a group who didn't get any training. They were tested at intervals of one, two, three, five and 10 years. More than half got additional training to increase the effects.

The results: Memory gains seemed to drop off after five years, but processing speed and gains in reasoning ability still were evident 10 years later. Compared to those who didn't get the training, participants were more able to handle daily activities such as cooking, money and medications.

Soaking the beans takes just minutes before you retire for the night, and in the morning, you can make the batter quickly in the blender. (Note: To cook waffles without added fat, you will need a good-quality non-stick waffle iron.)

These waffles take a little longer to bake than ordinary waffles (about 8 minutes), so you may want to make them ahead of time. They can be reheated quickly in a toaster. Topped with chili or creamed vegetables, they make a great lunch or supper. For gluten-free waffles, substitute brown rice flakes or quinoa flakes for the oats.

• • • • • • • •

1/2 cup dry cannellini, white kidney, or great Northern beans 2 1/4 cups water 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats 2 tablespoons sugar, or 1 tablespoon agave nectar 3/4 tablespoon whole flaxseeds 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3/4 teaspoon orange, almond, or coconut extract 1 teaspoon salt

The night before: Place beans in a large bowl and cover generously with water.

Refrigerate overnight or for up to a week.

In the morning: Drain beans, discarding the soaking water. Place in a blender with 2 1/4 cups fresh water and oats, sugar or agave nectar, flaxseeds, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth, light, and foamy. Set aside and preheat a non-stick waffle iron.

Pour a generous 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron for each 4" waffle. Close the iron and cook for a minimum of 8 minutes. If the iron is hard to open, let the waffle cook for another minute or two.

Repeat with the remaining batter, blending briefly before pouring each waffle. If the batter thickens while standing, add enough water to return it to its original consistency.

The waffles should be golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately or cool completely on a rack and freeze in an airtight container. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Strawberry Sauce Makes about 3 cups Use this sauce on bread or toast or as a topping on pancakes. Agar powder is a thickener made from a sea vegetable that can be used in place of animal gelatin. It is sold in natural food stores and Asian markets.

1 cup water 1 cup apple juice concentrate 3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons agar powder 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Combine water, apple juice concentrate, 2 cups of strawberries, and agar in a blender. Process until fairly smooth.

Transfer to a pan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Add remaining 1 cup strawberries, along with lemon juice. Stir to mix.

Chill until set, at least 3 hours.

Robert Redford opened the Sundance Film Festival the day the Academy Award nominations were announced. When asked how he felt about not being nominated for "All Is Lost," Redford said, "I did the film to get back to my roots as an actor. I'm not disturbed by it. There's a lot of campaigning going on; it can be very political. In our case, we suffered from little to no distribution. I don't know what they (Roadside Productions and Lionsgate) were afraid of; they didn't want to spend money (promoting it). We had no campaigning to cross over into the mainstream. Hollywood is what it is ... it's a business!" *** Tom Hanks, whose film "Captain Phillips" received a best picture nod, was passed over as well, while "Saving Mr. Banks" was completely overlooked. Hanks currently is working on producer/

director Ron Howard's third Dan Brown "Da Vinci Code" film, "Inferno," once again playing Robert Langdon. It will be released Dec. 15. Ron Howard's next film is "In the Heart of the Sea," with Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland, hitting screens March 15. *** Sophia Loren, 80 years Robert young in September, Redford considered by many the last living movie superstar from Hollywood's Golden Era, currently is shooting a one-woman film, "La Voce Umana" ("The Human Voice"), in Italy. Based on a 1930 play, originally starring Ingrid Bergman in 1967 for ABC Stage 67, it is about a middle-aged woman talking on the telephone to her lover of five years, who is about to marry another woman the next day.

*** "White Collar" star Matt Bomer will be busting out all over. No, not like he did in "Magic Mike," but in the indie sci-fi film "Space Station 76" with Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson; in "Winter's Tale" with Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Will Smith (out Valentine's Day); and in HBO's "The Normal Heart" (for which he lost 40 pounds to show the ravages of AIDS), with Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Taylor Kitsch and Jim Parsons. Bomer is prepping to play Montgomery Clift in "Monty." Clift, Oscar nominated in 1953 as best actor for "From Here to Eternity," survived a terrible car crash in 1956, which permanently scarred his face. As a gay man who depended on his looks, he hated his flawed face and turned to alcohol and drugs, which eventually killed him in 1966 at 45. Bomer brings melodrama skills to this role, which he acquired from "All My Children" (as Ian Kipling, 20012002) and "Guiding Light" (as Ben Reade, 2001-2003), and of course, "White Collar." At 36, Bomer still makes fans hot under the collar ... white or otherwise! © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My mixed collie "Skipper" gets extremely nervous during storms and when construction is going on outside -- basically during any unfamiliar noise. He cries and hides under the furniture, and I'm unable to approach him to comfort him. Is there anything I can do? -- Anxious in Boise DEAR ANXIOUS: Talk to the veterinarian first, so that he or she is aware that Skipper has an anxiety issue.

Your vet can suggest a few solutions, including anti-anxiety medication and some training and behavioral techniques you can try.

Many owners want to avoid medication for anxious pets, as they're worried about the side effects. And in some cases, medication does not resolve the problem.

Those are among the reasons owners are looking to alternative solutions to treating anxiety.

Some swear by a homeopathic product called Bach's Rescue Remedy, found in stores that specialize in herbal supplements (although it's being sold more and more in pet stores). About five drops of the product are added to a dog's water dish daily.

Other owners combine homeopathic supplements with other therapies, such as playing music specifically composed to calm dogs during stressful events like thunderstorms. Or they put their dog into a Thundershirt, a wraparound garment that exerts constant, gentle pressure.

No matter what therapy you choose, remember that the home environment and your own emotions can affect Skipper. Make sure his life has routine -- same feeding time, same walking times, etc. When a stressful event happens, keep yourself calm and speak in a soothing voice to Skipper.

TURN OLD CRAYONS INTO VALENTINE ART If broken and worn-down crayons are showing up in drawers, backpacks, art-supply tubs and even the car, don't throw them out! Instead, collect them all in a box and recycle them into fun Valentine art for the heart.

You and your school-age kids can mold some clever designs when you melt down the old and create new, attractive and useful heart-shaped crayons -- perfect for tucking into classroom valentine envelopes for something extra, or for eye-catching toppers on wrapped-up valentine gifts.

Here's how: 1. Remove the paper wrapper from crayons in your favorite Valentine's Day colors such as shades of red and pink. Let the kids break the crayons into pieces and

put them into piles according to the colors.

2. Put the pieces, according to color, in small, heat resistant glass jars, such as empty baby-food jars.

3. With adult help, fit a small rack inside a saucepan, and place the jars on the rack. Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover 1/2 inch of the

4. An adult should carefully pour the melted wax into a plastic candy mold tray (available at craft and kitchen-supply stores in a variety of heart shapes.

You might even find X's and O's). Or, use ice-cube trays that come in heart shapes.

The wax will harden quickly and pop out of the mold easily. You could put the tray in the freezer, or outdoors if you live in a cold climate, for a few minutes to speed up the process.

For added effect, pour a contrasting color into the mold after the first layer of wax has hardened. This will

produce a two-tone crayon.

Now, try out a new crayon heart on a piece of paper and discover that it really works. Make multiples and share them with family and friends for Valentine's Day. *** Donna Erickson's award-winning series "Donna's Day" is airing on public television nationwide.

For more information on diet and weight loss, visit PCRM. org/WeightLoss.

Diet Linked to Bacteria that Causes Inflammatory Bowel Disease Animal-based diets may contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease, according to a Harvard study published this week in Nature. Eleven healthy volunteers consumed either animal-based or plant-based diets for five days. The volunteers on the animal-based diet had an eight-fold increase in the gut population of a bacterium that may cause inflammatory bowel disease, Bilophila wadsworthia. Growth of this bacterium may be stimulated by the digestion of dairy products. In contrast, the gut population of B. wadsworthia fell three-fold in the plant-based diet group. In addition, gut concentrations of a compound linked to liver cancer, deoxycholic acid, rose in the animal-based diet group.

The authors note that diet may contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease via changes in gut microbes.

Marketing Junk Food Still Prevalent in Schools

Obesity May Cause Early Death Obesity may increase your risk of premature death, according to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers examined data from 16,868 participants in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination and the National Death Index.

Obesity caused a 20 percent increased risk of dying 1.6 years earlier from all causes of death and 1.6 to 5 years earlier from cardiovascular disease, compared with normal weight participants. This study highlights the impact the obesity epidemic may have on the current and future U.S. population.

Exposure to junk food is still a problem in schools, according to a study published online this week in JAMA Pediatrics. Researchers analyzed questionnaires completed by school administrators as part of the Food and Fitness study and the Youth, Education, and Society study. Profits from vending machines, advertising, and fast-food options in schools all increased from 2007 to 2012. The majority of elementary school students attended schools that used products like pizza as rewards, and almost one-third of high school students were offered fast food in the cafeteria at least once per week. Researchers stress the dangers of these methods and call for higher standards for nutritional content in school marketing.

PROBIOTICS: GOOD GERMS COME TO THE RESCUE DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 69-year-old woman, writing to you for information on probiotics. After taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, I developed diarrhea and bloating. I had many tests and scans. Everything was OK. My symptoms continued. On my third visit, they took a stool specimen, which showed yeasts. The doctor suggested I go to a healthfood store and buy probiotics. I did, and a miracle happened: My diarrhea stopped. Is yogurt considered probiotics? For how long and how often should you take probiotics? -- N.A. ANSWER: Probiotics contain live microorganisms that promote health when eaten. Microorganisms are bacteria and fungi. The thought of swigging down bacteria or fungi might be a turnoff. However, these microorganisms are the good kind, not the kind that causes infections. They work for us. Probiotics can restore to the digestive tract the normal balance between good and bad germs. They also appear to have a stimulatory effect on the immune system.

Probiotics come as tablets, cheeses, milk, yogurts, juices and other drinks. The labels on these products must say "live and active cultures." The names of the organisms most often used are lactobacillus, bifidobacterium and sacchromyces. Some brand names of probiotics are Culturelle, Align, Floraster and the yogurt Activia.

Curbing diarrhea is only one use for these products.

They're also used for irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions.

Yogurt is a probiotic if it contains live cultures. How long can you take them? That's a question that can't be answered.

The studies haven't been done. The side effects from probiotics are few. It seems to me that you can use the yogurt probiotics forever. The others are probably equally safe for long-term use, but definite statements aren't possible. The labels on the products ought to tell you how long they can be used and in what doses to use them. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I would like to comment on your article on bed-wetting. I am 68 and was a bed-wetter when I was little. It was during an era when children were supposed to be potty trained at young ages. I remember the rituals my parents went through to break me of this habit that, I suppose, was embarrassing to them. I eventually outgrew it.

My first-born daughter also was a bed-wetter. I resolved not to make a big deal of it. Every morning we removed the sheets and pjs, and washed her ... never harping about her "problem." She outgrew it. Two of her five children were bed-wetters, too. She never dwelt on it.

Perhaps bed-wetting has a genetic basis. Parents ought not to grumble and blame their children. We should be thankful for such small challenges and for having normal children. -- S.B. ANSWER: Genes strongly influence bed-wetting. If one parent was a bed-wetter, the child has a 45 percent chance of also being one. If both parents were, their child has a 75 percent chance of wetting the bed. Genes are a big factor.

Bed-wetting is involuntary. The child is in no way responsible. In my opinion, punishing or humiliating a child for wetting the bed is child abuse. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Atlanta Olympics never existed.

Radio pundits, particularly on the right wing, let out a stream of vitriol about the Games. "I wouldn't go to the Games if you paid me!" On Facebook, one talk-show host took a poll to see if there would be anyone willing to go the games.

OLYMPIC MEMORIES ... PRICELESS

I've been very curious as to how United States congressmen can call the Sochi Winter Olympics the most dangerous, corrupt and intolerant games in history, as if the

"There are plans being made to extract Americans by the Navy! Would you take your family?" The answers came in torrents. "NO!" You always run a risk when you write columns like this.

Sochi very well could have a Munich moment. And the world can be a very dangerous place filled with human rage. But I'd have gone in a heartbeat ... and this is coming from a survivor of the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta.

Yeah, I was in the Centennial Olympic Park with a friend watching one of the musical acts. I do not recall the name of the band, but I remember the one that followed ... Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. We decided we weren't interested. Besides, there was so much more to see, and I was, in fact, paid to be there and had access to the Olympic Village. The bomb

www.TidbitsFlorida.com • February 7, 2014 • 11

went off as we were driving off in a taxi. Maybe that doesn't qualify me as a "survivor," but we were within range of the bomb that killed two people and injured 111 others that night.

There was never a serious consideration of halting the Games, but there was a constant air of threat for the rest of the week.

Security for the Olympic Village, which was located on the Georgia Tech campus, tightened, but I still went every day. I got a chance to see hip-hop pioneers Run DMC play the Olympian's laundromat (yes ... laundromat). On another day, Ziggy Marley played underneath a tree like a busker. Hootie and the Blowfish also played a free concert. But the real rock stars were the athletes ... everyone was so in awe of them.

The Dream Team? Forget it, you couldn't get near those guys.

But I witnessed Kerri Strug's winning vault on a broken ankle, and scored a hug from Mary Lou Retton. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. So what I'm trying to say is, if you have a chance to go to Sochi, definitely do go. There are some things you don't want to miss ... near misses and all.

• Online. Too many things can go wrong, especially if you're on WiFi or if the company's security isn't strong.

• Monthly payments of any kind. You lose control over when and if the payment is made.

• Any ATM location that's not out in public. An out-ofthe-way spot is more likely to have been tampered with.

DEBIT CARD SAFETY The recent disclosure that millions of credit- and debit-card holders had their information stolen has gone from bad to much, much worse, with millions more accounts compromised. Of the two, credit versus debit, it's the debit-card holders who are most at risk.

Debit cards are tied directly to your bank account, and your money can vanish. What will you do while all the facts are being uncovered and the fraud revealed?

In the event of a large credit/debit-card grab, such as we've just witnessed, your situation might not be sorted out for months. By law the bank has to investigate within 10 business days, but what happens if your vehicle or mortgage check tries to clear during that time and your account has been emptied?

If you still want a debit card (to save the interest charges on a credit card), there are a few places where a debit card should not be used: • At a gas pump. Go inside to complete the transaction, but remember that the bank will put a hold on your funds for longer than you expect.

• New businesses. Let others be the first customers until all the bugs are worked out in their security. Add to this list small businesses, carryout establishments and restaurants.

• Making large purchases. You won't have the protection of a credit-card company if something is wrong with what you buy.

• A down payment on any item. The balance can be taken at the wrong time.

Do you see the pattern here? The advice is to not use debit cards, at least not until the financial world has managed to make our transactions completely secure.

(That's not going to happen until we start using the microchip-based cards as they do in other countries.) If you object to paying the interest on a credit card, have the money ready to send the minute your statement arrives, or even sooner.

Or open a second account to be used with your debit card and keep limited funds in it. If the information is compromised and the money taken, the damage will be smaller.

Now I serve my little princess in a teacup and saucer I found at the thrift store. I put the food in the cup, and then put a little water in the saucer. The teacup sits in the water on the saucer. The ants won't get the food ever, because they can't cross the water to get at it.

A: While I like the concept of tankless water heaters -- they provide hot water on demand, rather than storing water in a tank and keeping it warm -it's really important for homeowners to do their research before deciding to jump to this system.

TANK OR TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER? Q: I'm thinking of switching from a traditional hot water heater to a tankless water heater. With three teenagers in the house, the current tank heater is just not adequate to keep

hot water available. Will a tankless heater solve the problem? And which is better, an electric or gas heater? -- Sal in Southern California

Electric tankless heaters, for example, look like a good deal up front. They cost about a third to onehalf as much as gas tankless heaters. However, installation can be expensive: most electric heaters require a dedicated 30-amp circuit, meaning an electrician will have to come in to properly wire the house.

In older homes, the installation can be pretty painful on the wallet.

• Freshen stuffed animals by securing a few in a pillowcase and adding a fabric softener sheet. Put in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes, then remove and brush out the fur, if necessary, while still warm.

• "Schedule important doctor's checkups, like your annual physical and dental cleanings, in the same month each year so you your gas system may need some modification.

With either type, you still will have to deal with the problem of adequate hot-water supply. Placing high demand on the heater -- such as running a shower, the dishwasher and the hot water tap in a sink at the same time -will make it more difficult for the unit to heat water to the correct temperature, meaning everybody starts getting tepid water.

Homeowners I've spoken with who have tankless heaters are generally pretty happy with them. But they have experienced a few

• Here is an ingenious way to store markers: Collect enough toilet paper rolls to fill a shoebox standing upright. Paint or decorate the outside of the shoebox with brightly colored paper or paints. Fill with the rolls. The markers stand upright in the toilet paper rolls and they are kept standing uniformly across the box. Much better than a messy bin, where you can't see the colors that are on the bottom.

• When you're finished pan-frying something, add a bit of water to the pan and put it back on the still-warm burner while you eat. When you come back to clean up after dinner, the pan drippings will slide right off!

• If you've been decluttering as a part of your New Year's resolutions, and you came across old pairs of eyeglasses, know that you can donate them to any Lion's Club in your area. They redistribute the glasses to those who cannot afford them. You don't have to know the prescription, and they take reading glasses too!

issues, such as not knowing they need to flush the heating system once per year (and more often in a hard-water environment).

None complained about having inadequate hot water -- either they selected the right-size system for their house, or they adjusted their water use to the rate at which the water gets heated.

Because of the expense involved, find out how much water your family uses and track how much hot water is used during each day. Talk with the tankless heater dealer about the right system based on your needs, compare average

annual costs (in electricity or gas) of the system compared to a traditional tank heater, and make sure you know up front what installation will entail and how much it will cost.

HOME TIP: Tankless heaters can suffer from mineral scale buildup in the heat exchanger. Talk to the manufacturer about installing a flush valve so that you can flush out buildup annually and extend the life of the unit.
