SALT FACTS • No animal can survive without salt. Salt is a mineral, not a spice. It's made of 40% sodium, which is a metal with a positive charge, and 60% chlorine, which is a poisonous gas with a negative charge. Put them together and you have sodium chloride, a mineral the body is unable to manufacture on its own. Without salt, muscles won't contract, blood won't circulate, food won't digest, wounds won't heal, nerve impulses won't get through, and the heart won't beat. Salt regulates fluids, controls blood pressure, and helps the liver clear waste products.

Salt is not just a seasoning; it's a necessity.

• The amount of salt needed varies according to a person's size, age, metabolism, and exertion level. The average human body contains about four ounces (113 grams) of salt. A typical human needs to ingest about 0.1 ounce (3 grams) per day to maintain the proper level. The typical American eats about 0.35 ounces (10 grams) of salt per day, and the excess is excreted by the kidneys. The concentration of salt in the blood generally doesn't vary beyond one percent. One-third of the sodium we ingest comes from the salt shaker.

The rest is already in our food.

Although it is true that people who already have high blood pressure can lower it by limiting their salt intake, the fact is that people who have normal blood pressure are not much affected by salt. Salt, however, can be a deadly poison if too much is taken all at once. A mere 2.3 ounces (65 grams) will make a person seriously sick.

About 6.6 ounces (187 grams) will kill an adult human.

Salt saturation used to be an acceptable method of suicide in Japan.

• In an experiment, people were given massive doses of salt, not only in their food but also intravenously. The effects of too much salt were swollen feet, weight gain, an enlarged heart, and high blood pressure. Too little

SALT (continued):

salt resulted in fatigue, confusion, muscle cramps, poor judgment, and an inability to correctly estimate passage of time. In another study, people with abnormally low sodium levels were shown to have a higher death rate than those with a normal level of salt in their bodies.

• Pound for pound, babies have almost two-thirds more sodium and twice as much chloride as adults. In 1980, a brand of soy-based baby formula jumped on the "low-salt" bandwagon and began offering a new low sodium formula. Within a few months, 34 cases of chloride deficiency in babies were reported. The babies were losing weight, sluggish, and stunted because they were not getting enough sodium chloride. They recovered after being switched to a different formula, and the baby food company put salt back in its recipes.

IT'S A FACT • In Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper, the salt container next to Judas is overturned, signifying bad luck.

• Salt is colorless, like snow. It only appears to be white because it scatters light.

• Much of human society has been built around salt, which has often served as the cornerstone of economy. The Roman government used to pay its soldiers in salt, and our word ‘salary’ comes from the Roman word for salt. Any worker who didn't work hard was "not worth his salt."

• The Erie Canal was built with funds raised from a 12% tax placed on American salt and, once built, was used to carry heavy loads of salt from the factories in New York.

WHY IS THE SEA SALTY?

• Your kidneys are responsible for making sure the ratio of salt to water in the bloodstream stays at the optimum level. If you drink salt water while stranded on a raft in the ocean, the level of salt in the bloodstream skyrockets. The kidneys now work overtime to add water to the blood in order to return things to normal. Sea water is three times saltier than urine, so for every cup of sea water that is drunk, the body has to make three cups of urine to flush the salt out of the body. This robs your body tissues of their natural supply of water, and you become dehydrated much faster than if you had not drunk the salt water.

• Seas are salty because water dissolves the natural salts in the soils and rocks it flows through on the way to the ocean.

Over the eons as water has continually evaporated from the oceans, the salts have been left behind. The concentration builds up year after year. The oceans are 3.5 percent salt.

• The Dead Sea, which, at 1,300 feet (396 m) below sea level is the lowest place on the planet, has plenty of fresh water coming in but not a single place where water can go out.

Because the rate of evaporation is so high, all the incoming minerals are left behind. In some spots the Dead Sea is 23% salt which is too salty to support any kind of life. By comparison, the Great Salt Lake in Utah is about 20% salt-- so salty that it never completely freezes over.

• About 97% of Earth's water is in the form of salty seawater.

• When evaporated, 150 gallons (567 l) of seawater will yield 35 lbs. (15.8 kg) of salt.

MORE SALTY FACTS WORD WIZARD • "Wich" was the word indicating a town where salt was produced such as Greenwich, Northwich, and even Sandwich, which was a place before it was a food.

• The word "salt" probably comes from the name of the town Es-Salt, which was once a capital city close to the Dead Sea. It is also the origin of words like "salami" and "salad." The words "war" and "peace" originate from the ancient Arabic words for salt and bread, perhaps because the first wars were fought over these two commodities.

• There is enough salt in the seas to cover all the continents to a depth of 500 feet (152 m).

• The first patent ever issued in America was for a process to recover salt from sea water.

• Where salt seas became land-locked and dried up, large strata of rock salt were left, which are good places for salt mines.

One of the largest salt plants in the U.S. is located in Texas City, where there's a salt deposit that's 1.5 miles wide (2.4 km) and over three miles (4.8 km) thick. There's enough salt in this one location to supply the world's needs for some 20,000 years.

DON'T DRINK SEA WATER

FAST FACT • Some species of sea birds have a gland between their eyes that filters salt from seawater that the bird drinks and empties it out of the beak. Some birds, like the albatross, cannot drink fresh water or they suffer from salt deficiency as the salt continues to pour out of the gland. The camel is also adapted for drinking brackish salt water. Pure water may intoxicate the animal.

JOY MORTON • Joy Morton was born in 1855 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. After falling ill with spinal meningitis at the age of 18, he decided to get a job entailing hard physical labor in an outdoor setting in order to regain his strength. He subsequently went to work for the railroad, working throughout Illinois.

He eventually found a job working for E.I. Wheeler's salt manufacturing company in Chicago.

• He became a partner in the business in 1886 when he invested $10,000 in order to move salt westward by hauling it on barges across the Great Lakes. When Wheeler died, Morton bought the company.

When his brother and son joined the company, it was renamed Morton Salt Company. It was the only salt company in the nation at the time and it is still remains the #1 salt producer in North America.

• Morton was responsible for two innovations in salt.

Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to work properly.

Without iodine, the thyroid swells, sometimes enormously, and forms a goiter. People suffering from iodine deficiency suffer from tremors, fatigue, nausea, and anemia. Iodine is usually present in the soil and the water. But in places where it's not, goiters became common. In 1924, almost 66% of school children in the Lake Superior school districts had goiters.

Meantime, goiters were almost unheard of along the Mississippi River, where the water has up to 18,000 times as much natural iodine as Lake Superior. After being approached by health officials, Morton became the first company to add iodine to its salt in minuscule amounts. Health authorities correctly surmised that salt was the single most universally consumed food item, and it’s easy to add iodine to salt. Onefifth of a pound of iodine is enough to treat an entire ton of salt.

• As a result, between 1924 and 1928, the goiters of Michigan - and everywhere else - virtually disappeared. Today, over half of all table salt sold is iodized. Sea salt has no iodine added because it contains iodine naturally.

• The other innovation Morton invented was to add an anti-caking element to salt.

In the 1800s, ground-up salt tended to form clumps in humid weather. Many salt shakers were made that tried to combat this using various means. Some had agitators inside to break up lumps; some had special pockets for moisture-absorbing solutions.

Morton began adding magnesium carbonate to salt which prevented it from clumping up even in the rainiest environments.

This inspired their slogan (swiped from the Bible, and suggested by Morton's son) "When it rains, it pours" and the famous logo of the little girl with the big umbrella.

In a poll, 90% of housewives recognized the slogan. After the clumping problem was solved, the salt shaker became standard issue.

• In 1903, the Morton warehouse in South Chicago contained over 200,000 tons of salt - the world's largest stock under a single roof.

No one knows what started the fire, but the entire compound was in ruins by the time it was out. Where once there were piles of pure white salt, now there were piles of blackened salt, covered with ashes and carbon. Joy Morton was undaunted. Charcoal makes a good additive in stock food, and soon farmers were buying up the new product: Morton's special "charcoal blend." The entire stock of salt was sold.

• In the 1930s the Morton Co. expanded into other chemical products, and in 1982 merged with the Thiokol Corp. to form Morton-Thiokol. Morton now sells around 400 different kinds of salt-based products.

HOLLYWOOD -- Can you believe that Steve Jobs, the father of Apple, is the subject of yet another bio-pic? Ashton Kutcher played him in the 2013 film, "Jobs," which cost $12 million and only took in $35 million at the box office. Critics were less than kind with their reviews. Aaron Sorkin ("The West Wing"), who wrote "The Social Network," and David Fincher, who directed it, planned to do their own film about Steve Jobs, and Sony Pictures agreed to the $25 million budget to make it. Oscar-winner Christian Bale was set to play Jobs. But when Bale couldn't get a handle on his characterization he bowed out, as did David Fincher.

Enter Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle, who wanted Michael Fassbender to play Steve Jobs, but at a new budget of $33 million. When Sony Pictures refused to shell out more than $25 million, the film was picked up by Universal Pictures, which will release it Oct. 9, with Kate Winslet, Seth Rogan and Jeff Daniels also in the cast. *** Now that Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith are no longer married, he's pursuing a new love -- designing clothes. Banderas studied in London at the Central Saint Martins Design School, which gave us Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Stella McCartney. Antonio is specifically interested in designing capes. He recently admitted, "One garment I love, lost a long time ago, is the cape. In Spain there are still places where clubs of people love to wear capes. For me, it's actually easier to wear than a coat ... you walk into a place and just BOOM! ... throw it off!" No doubt his love for wearing capes came from swashbuckling as "Zorro." *** Filmmakers such as Billy Wilder, Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg have tried to acquire the rights to film

Antonio Banderas

J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," but the author would never allow it. Salinger passed away in 2010 at the age of 91, and now actor Nicholas Hoult, best known for the "X-Men" franchise and the recent "Mad Max: Fury Road," will play Salinger in the film "Rebel in the Rye," based on the biography "J.D. Salinger: A Life," by Kenneth Slawenski, which explores the writer's life prior to the publication of the 1951 bestseller.

Salinger finally revealed in one of his last interviews, "My boyhood was very much the same as that of the boy (Holden Caulfield) in the book ... it was a great relief telling people about it." Is making a film of Salinger's life the same as making "The Catcher in the Rye"? Was Salinger trying to hide a meaty scandal all these years? Put that between two slices of "Rye"!

*** Q: A while back you wrote that Sharon Stone was going to star in her own TV series, but I haven't heard anything about it. Is it still happening? -- Danny T., via email

Q: My husband read that Michael J. Fox is going to play Marty McFly again, but I've searched all over to verify this and can't find anything. Is it true? -- Joanne F., via Twitter A: Sort of. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have indeed reprised their "Back to the Future" roles of Marty McFly and Doc Brown, respectively.

They exercised their vocal talents for the new videogame "LEGO Dimensions," which is based on "The LEGO Movie" and launched Sept. 27. In fact, a lot of famous folks have lent their voices to the game, most of whom were in the movie. Chris Pratt returns as Emmet, Elizabeth Banks as Wyldstyle, Alison Brie as UniKitty and Charlie Day as Benny, among other actors from the film And as part of the original "LEGO Dimensions" story, Joel McHale is X-PO, the game's robot guide, and Gary Oldman is Lord Vortech, the evil mastermind who seeks to control the LEGO Multiverse. "LEGO Dimensions" includes many other famous voice actors in addition to those featured in the video. Members of the original cast of "Ghostbusters," "The Lord of the Rings," "The Simpsons" and "Scooby-Doo" also will be reprising their roles for the game.

"LEGO Dimensions" is available for Xbox One and Xbox 360 from Microsoft, PlayStation4 and PlayStation3, and the Wii U system from Nintendo.

A: Oscar-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Sharon Stone stars in the new TNT action drama called "Agent X," which premieres Sunday, Nov. 8, at 9 p.m.

ET/PT. According to TNT, here's what the series is about: In times of extreme crisis, when traditional law and government aren't in a position to help, there is an unseen hand that works to protect this country and its citizens from all manner of threats by any means necessary. Hidden from public view -- and even from the president -- there is a top secret agent (played by Jeff Hephner) who is trained and ready to serve, deployed only at the careful discretion of the vice president (played by Sharon Stone).

The series also stars Gerald McRaney.

A: The NBC sitcom, which starred Craig Robinson ("The Office") as a middle-school teacher and part-time musician, was canceled in September after airing its six episodes. It was generally derided by both critics and audiences, and never quite got the liftoff it hoped for. The show also featured Peri Gilpin ("Frasier"), Spencer Grammer (who is Kelsey Grammer's real-life daughter), Ben Koldyke, Brandon T. Jackson and Amandla Stenberg.

Tour de France and the last-place finisher is right around 3 percent.

Unfortunately, too many red blood cells increases the risk for stroke and heart attack, and several amateur and professional cyclists have died as a complication of too much blood transfused or its more modern equivalent, the hormone erythropoietin, which causes the body to make more of its own blood. Losing blood, from bleeding or donation, consequently reduces performance.

BLOOD DONATION'S AFFECT ON ATHLETE DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a fit 54-year-old male who bicycles a lot. My friends and I are pretty competitive when we do our rides, pushing hard and challenging each other in positive ways. I donate blood as often as I'm allowed. After donating, my legs feel more fatigued when I ride, and I'm not as strong, particularly on the climbs.

How long can I use my blood donation as an "excuse" for lacking strength? -- A.R. ANSWER: What ultimately determines how much work your legs can do is the amount of oxygen the muscles are able to get, once you have achieved a high level of muscular fitness. The amount of red blood cells in your blood and the amount of blood your heart can pump are the limiting factors for oxygen delivery in a healthy person. So, for a given degree of cardiovascular fitness, your ability to go fast and climb hills is directly influenced by how many red blood cells you have. That's why elite cyclists sometimes used to get blood transfusions before a race. An extra unit of blood might make only a 3 percent difference, but the difference between the winner of the

The plasma (fluid and proteins) is made up within 24 hours after donating blood, but it takes four to six weeks to regain the blood cells. Donating a unit of blood can save up to three lives. That should give you some consolation.

Maybe persuade your friends to donate blood at the same time, so you all are on a level playing field, so to speak. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am looking to have surgery on my cervical vertebrae at a prestigious hospital in St. Louis.

Before I had even made up my mind, the hospital sent a form regarding arbitration. If anything should go wrong, they want me to agree to arbitration instead of going through the court system. They say the choice is mine.

While I understand you might be taken aback by the question, many hospitals are moving toward arbitration as a means of reducing malpractice coverage costs. I personally don't see it as a reason to be concerned about the surgeon. However, I spoke with an attorney, who advised not agreeing to arbitration, as it isn't germane to your medical condition and may limit your options later.

topsies and scans also showed higher body weights resulted in more Alzheimer’s-specific deposits in the brain. This study suggests that lifestyle changes earlier in life can influence the course of disease.

Virus Found in Dairy Linked to Breast Cancer Poor Diet among Leading Causes for Early Death A diet low in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber but high in red meat, salt, and processed sugar is now a key contributor to early death worldwide, according to a study published in The Lancet. Researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) examined life expectancy for 79 different risk factors in 188 countries from 1990 to 2013. Dietary risk factors, including low intakes of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds had the most impact on early death.

Midlife Obesity Increases Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Obesity increases Alzheimer’s disease risk, according to a study in Molecular Psychiatry. Researchers studied 1,394 participants of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) and tracked their weight at age 50 and evidence of Alzheimer’s later on. The results indicate that with an increase in weight, onset of Alzheimer’s disease occurred 6.7 months earlier than when compared to those who were not obese. Au-

A virus found in beef and dairy products may be a possible risk factor for breast cancer, according to a case-control study published in PLoS One. Researchers examined 239 donated breast tissue samples from the Cooperative Human Tissue Network archives for exposure to the bovine leukemia virus (BLV).

www.dalmatianrescue.com

BLV in breast tissue was strongly associated with breast cancer diagnosis, as the virus appeared in 59 percent of those with cancer.

P.O. Box 640108 North Miami Beach Florida, 33164

The researchers found 38 percent of cows used for beef and 84 percent of cows used for dairy were infected with BLV and hope these results may point to preventive techniques in the future.

MICROWAVE PEANUT-APPLE CRUMBLE

ing a pastry blender or 2 forks until mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples.

Lightly spray top with butter-flavored cooking spray.

Apples and peanut butter! One bite and you're a goner!

• • • • • • • • •

4 cups (4 medium) cored, peeled and sliced cooking apples 1/3 cup peanut butter-flavored chips 1/2 cup fat-free soy milk 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup quick oats 1/4 cup Splenda Granular 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons light margarine 3 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter

1. Spray a microwave-safe 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. Evenly arrange apple slices in prepared baking dish.

4. Microwave on HIGH for 10 to 12 minutes or until apples are tender. Place baking dish on counter and let set for 5 minutes. Divide into 6 servings. * Each serving equals: 240 calories, 8g fat, 6g protein, 36g carb., 161mg sodium, 47mg calcium, 4g fiber; Diabetic Exchanges: 1 1/2 Fat, 1 Starch/Carb., 1 Fruit.

PICKING APPLES If you are planning to cook apples, choose a variety that will work well in the particular recipe. Cooking apples are preferred for baking and pies. Some apples fall apart when cooked, so they make great applesauce. And some varieties are really at their best eaten out of hand.

2. In a 2-cup microwave-safe measuring cup, combine peanut butter chips and soy milk . Microwave on HIGH for 60 seconds or until mixture is smooth, stirring every 20 seconds. Drizzle mixture evenly over apples.

Cortland: A fine all-purpose apple, this large round apple remains firm when baked. Cortland is a good choice for fruit salads because the raw slices do not discolor.

3. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, Splenda and cinnamon. Add margarine and peanut butter. Mix well us-

Gala: This New Zealand import is a cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious. It is sweet and crisp

with red-streaked yellow skin and is good for cooking.

Golden Delicious: Another good all-purpose apple with yellow-gold skin and a sweet flavor. Excellent for eating out of hand, pies, applesauce and salads.

Granny Smith: Very crisp and slightly acidic, this greenskinned apple is named for its original cultivator, an Australian grandmother. Its slices hold their shape well during baking, so it's a good choice for pies.

Jonagold: A crisp, yellow-fleshed apple that works well in pies, cobblers and applesauce.

Macoun: A cross between the McIntosh and Jersey Black, it has fragrant white flesh and is a good all-purpose apple.

McIntosh: Round and juicy, this apple's flesh softens when cooked. Best for applesauce, eating out of hand, or in combination with firmer apples in pies.

Newtown Pippin: A somewhat small apple with tart, firm flesh. Great in pies.

Red Delicious: The most familiar red-skinned apple; best for eating out of hand.

Rome Beauty: A large, aromatic apple that is excellent for baking whole.

Winesap: A crisp pie apple with winelike juice.

GROCERY STORE FACTS • In 1936 a grocer named Goldman in Oklahoma noticed that people stopped shopping as soon as their arms got full.

Most shoppers brought their own hand held baskets from home. So Goldman invented a big basket on wheels so shoppers could buy more. Shoppers at first resisted using the grocery cart, feeling it made them look silly. Goldman hired women to walk around the store putting items in their carts.

Goldman made a fortune selling his baskets to other stores.

• A store will lose about 12% of its carts every year to theft.

Each cart costs about $100.

• In a typical year about 33,000 accidents involving shopping carts will be reported.

• The average American makes 3.4 trips to the grocery store each week. Fridays are the most popular days for grocery shopping. Saturdays and Tuesdays tie for second place.

• Women do the grocery shopping 70% of the time; men do it 17% of the time; and the rest of the time they do it together.

Less than half of shoppers shop alone.

• Grocery stores are designed to make the customer walk as far as possible, with basic staples placed at the far ends of the store. Studies show it's how far the person walks in the store rather than the amount of time spent in the store that influences how much money is spent.

• Whatever department is closest to the door in a grocery store will typically sell 1% more merchandise than if it's placed elsewhere in the store.

• A typical store will have over 25,000 items displayed including 243 items in the produce department alone.

• The apple is the most popular produce item, followed by oranges, bananas, lettuce, potatoes, and tomatoes.

• Cereals high in sugar are always stored at kids' eye level whereas nutritious brands are placed at the adult eye level.

Children's cereals have an average of 44% sugar but adult cereals have 10% sugar. A typical store has 124 cold cereals.

real box. The Jungleland Funny Moving Pictures Book was put inside each box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

• The items most likely to be shoplifted from a supermarket are cigarettes, health and beauty aids, meat, seafood, and batteries.

• It's estimated that 34% of shoppers do not pay attention to food labels.

• Lemon Pledge furniture polish has more lemon in it than Country Time Lemonade does.

• The FDA ordered Mazola to remove the words "no cholesterol" from its label because the product had never contained cholesterol, nor does any vegetable oil contain cholesterol.

• The Federal Trade Commission went up against ITT Continental in 1979 for claiming their Fresh Horizons bread contained five times the fiber as whole wheat bread. The claim was true, but the company didn't mention the extra fiber came from wood pulp.

• Sales and consumption of white bread increased every year up until 1963, when it began a slow decline.

• When supermarkets first made the scene, one store called the Alpha Beta arranged everything in alphabetical order so that customers could find everything.

1. Are you a Native American?

2. If yes, are you offended by the term "Redskin?"

3. If no, are you the owner of the team who has vowed to never change its name?

4. If yes, are you of Jewish heritage and do you sue people for libel, claiming to be outraged over anti-Semitic attacks?

1. Four -- Jeff Bagwell (449 home runs), Lance Berkman (326), Craig Biggio (291) and Jim Wynn (223).

For one thing, the argument is over before it even starts.

Here's a quick multi-question diagnostic test for anyone wanting to play along at home:

4. Adreian Payne set a Michigan State record in 2014 for most points in an NCAA Tournament game (41). Who had held the mark?

5. The New York Rangers set a record in 2015 for most consecutive NHL playoff games decided by one goal.

5. If yes, you are Dan Snyder? And really, the excuse that you will have to change a few T-shirts and that it will cost too much is wearing just about as thin as the burgundy and gold, non-official, much-too-snug for 2015 "Redskins Hog Heaven 1995" T-shirt the guy defending the Redskins nickname is wearing at the chain pizzeria.

to vote for a guy who used to own the New Jersey Generals. For one thing, I agree. Political correctness is kind of anti-productive at times. Why should we be tiptoeing around the tulips of somebody's idiocy just because we are afraid of a fight?

Louis C.K. makes the correct observation that late in the 15th century, a bunch of dudes took a boat ride from Europe and thought they landed in India.

"You guys are Indians, right?" they asked.

"No," the natives replied. "We're like, totally different people."

Armed with that knowledge, six centuries later, not only do we continue to persist in calling the indigenous people of this continent names more suited for the peoples who live on a sub-continent bordering THE INDIAN OCEAN, but in our nation's capital, we use the slur variation of their name as a mascot.

And this isn't about the guy who lives in his parent's basement, who comes up for air long enough to flirt with the bartendress and defend his beloved team's honor over a personal deep dish. Nor is this an opportunity for somebody to spout some ridiculous nonsense about political correctness run amok, and that's why we need

There is Dictionary.com, Merriamwebster.com, the Urban dictionary, even Wikipedia operates as a dictionary in some respects.

Change the name. I don't care if you grew up with a bunch of John Riggins posters on your walls. The Native Americans don't like the name. They're offended.

That should supersede your love of Mark Rypien and Joe Theisman jerseys. Change the name. Times are different now. O.J. Simpson is a killer; Bill Cosby is a serial rapist; the guy who used to be on the Wheaties box is now a girl, and he's against gay marriage; and the guy who lost weight eating subs is a pedophile.

We're talking about a football team, not genocide or bulletin boards in high school or your favorite flavor of pudding pops. We're talking about a national embarrassment in our nation's capital (if we were to relocate our capital to Landover, Maryland) that extends well past the team's pitiful performances on the field year in and year out.

Change the name. It's time.

* On Oct. 17, 1931, gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and '30s. FBI agent Eliot Ness and his men routinely broke up Capone's bootlegging businesses, but it was tax-evasion charges that finally stuck.

5) Choose your user IDs and passwords carefully. Use upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, and change them often.

6) Be careful on social network sites. Scammers use those to gather information, such as your pet's name and mother's maiden name, to figure out your passwords. They also may pretend to be a friend to convince you to send money.

10 Ways to Protect Your Money, Identity With the ever-increasing number of scams and ID thefts, a periodic review of how we protect ourselves is a good idea. A recent issue of the FDIC Consumer News outlines 10 ways to guard our personal information and money.

1) If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Whether it's a great job, business opportunity or lottery winnings, beware ... especially if you're pressured to make a decision quickly or to send funds in advance.

2) Look out for scams that offer to send you checks that you'll deposit into your own account, take out your portion and then send them the balance. Those checks won't be any good, and you'll be out of pocket for the money you've sent. Variations on the scam include you sending off prepaid cards, or "holding" money for a foreign business.

3) Be suspicious of unsolicited emails or text messages that ask you to click a link or open an attachment. Your computer, and the private information on it, could be at risk.

4) Don't give out personal information unless you're the one who's initiated the contact. Anyone can call you or send email and pretend to be your bank or the Social Security office asking for information.

7) Review your transactions on a regular basis. Check bank statements and credit-card bills as soon as they arrive. Report any suspicious activity immediately. If you're sure of your computer's security, you can check your activity and balances online.

8) Review your credit reports to be sure someone hasn't opened an account in your name. You can get a free report from each of the big three reporting agencies every year.

9) Protect your personal documents, such as bank statements, blank checks and tax returns. Invest in a crosscut shredder when it's time to destroy those documents.

10) Guard your incoming mail by using a locking mailbox.

For outgoing mail, always drop it at the post office or a mailbox.

Without enough strength, we can have fractures from falls, which leads to disuse of muscles while we heal, which leads to further muscle loss, which can lead to loss of independence.

Researchers at the University of Iowa are to be commended for going down the tomato and apple road once they discovered the correlation between the fruits and a lack of certain chemicals in aging muscles.

The next step is for researchers and biotechnical companies to turn this information into foods, pharmaceuticals or supplements that we can really use to recover our former muscle strength and mass.

Meanwhile, an apple a day probably won't hurt. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

REVERSING MUSCLE LOSS Most of us already have experienced it: age-related muscle loss. It doesn't matter how athletic we were in our youth, some degree of muscle loss is to be expected. Researchers have long wondered how to avoid it, and now it appears they've found the answer: green tomatoes and apple peels.

It turns out that both green tomatoes and apple peels contain the right molecules of ursolic acid and tomatidine, and can reduce transcription factor ATF4, which is a key in age-related muscle loss.

None of this muscle loss happened overnight. In fact, it started very subtly when we were between 30 and 40 years old. As time went on, we lost muscle strength as well as mass. By the time we hit age 65, it's fairly obvious in most of us.

BARBIE DOLLS Q: I have what I think is one of the first Barbie dolls manufactured. Whom can I contact to find out more about it? -- Leslie, Flagstaff, Arizona A: The Barbie doll was introduced in 1958 when Ruth Handler, wife of the co-founder of Mattel, decided that a fashion doll with an expensive wardrobe would be a fantastic idea. It was, and Barbie quickly became one of America's most popular dolls. Although Barbie has changed with the times, many collectors are interest-

A: There were several models and versions of this cookie jar, and I'm not certain which one you have. The "Smiley" cookie jar was popular during the 1940s, and I found several on eBay in the $50 to $150 range. Its value depends on several factors, including condition and version.

*** Q: I have sent you two self-addressed, stamped envelopes with questions. I have not gotten answers and wonder if the cost of my stamps was a waste of money.

-- Betty, Springfield, Oregon

*** Q: I have quite a collection of fishing lures, and I am curious about both values and rarity. Is there a good reference book you can recommend? -- Steve, Orlando, Fla.

A: Yes, it was. I get a lot of questions, and all the ones that I answer appear in this column. If I provided personal answers, there would be no column. It's that simple. I pick the questions that I think would be of most interest to my readers. As I recall, you asked about the value of books, a question I have answered frequently in this column. *** Q: I have a rare vintage Shawnee piggy cookie jar. It is "Smiley." Could you please tell me what it is worth? -Norma, Sun City West, Arizona

A: "Classic Fishing Lures" by Russell E. Lewis (Krause Publications) is one of the better ones available. It features 1,500 color illustrations, current prices and the history of most major lure makes.

an airplane flight or while waiting at the doctor's office. Use cards with numbers 2-10, with aces representing the number 1. Deal the sorted cards face-down into two piles for two players. To begin play, each player reveals his top card. If the cards are a 5 and a 3, for example, the first person to say "8" gets to take both cards. If there is a tie, place cards back in the individual stacks. Play all cards in the two stacks. As math skills grow, subtract or multiply the numbers.

Tip: If your child is just learning her facts, give yourself a handicap by counting to 3 to yourself before you respond.

FAMILIES COUNT Is a foot the length of a foot? How many inches is a dog's paw? Family math fun can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime when you turn everyday items and moments into simple games.

ESTIMATE At the grocery store or farmer's market, older kids will be challenged to estimate the total bill by practicing rounding food prices to the nearest dollar and adding them up.

Start at the breakfast table with these eye-opening questions, and count together.

--Count the number of ingredients listed on the side panel.

Which ingredient has the most letters?

--How much does it weigh in pounds and ounces? In grams?

MEASURE Grab a ruler or a measuring tape, and measure things around the house. Start with small items in inches and progress to feet and yards. How many inches is your phone, your toaster, your dog's tail? Try to find things of equal length. What is the same length as Dad's head? What else is as long as the philodendron vine in the living room?

AROUND TOWN October is National Adopt an Adult Dog Month

na ONE pet food, and more goodies. The regular adoption fee for dogs over a year is $100.

Make Your Family Complete

Open seven days, the HSBC is conveniently located at 2070 Griffin Road, just a block west of I-95.

October is national “Adopt an Adult Dog Month” and the Humane Society of Broward County encourages you to celebrate by stopping by to find your next family member and make your family complete!

Adoption hours are Monday – Saturday 10:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. and Sunday 10:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Waiting to meet you are fabulous dogs in all sizes, colors, shapes and breeds.

For more information visit www.humanebroward.com or call 954-989-3977, ext. 6.

We all know puppies are adorable, but they require a lot of work.

The Humane Society of Broward County is a private, non-profit organization supported by donations from people and companies who want to help us help the animals. The shelter receives no government funding and is not affiliated with any local or national organization with a similar name.

When you adopt an adult dog there are no surprises as to how big the dog will get, and often times they are already well-trained. You can also see the fantastic personality that’s already been developed, and adult dogs who’ve been “rescued” seem to sense it and bond quickly with their new owners.

Stop by any weekday in October and play PLINKO when you adopt an adult dog one year of age or older. You might win an extra bag of Purina ONE food, a discount in the shelter’s pet boutique, or save on your pet adoption fee.

All pets are spayed or neutered and micro-chipped before going home. In addition, they receive preliminary vaccinations and a 10-day limited health care plan courtesy of VCA Animal Hospitals. Dogs over seven months are tested for heartworm, and cats are feline leukemia tested. Adopters also receive a bag of Puri-
