SEEING RED

RESTAURANT AND NIGHT CLUB

by Kathy Wolfe

Cardinal, scarlet, ruby, flame, cranberry or carnelian: No matter how you say it, the color is red! This week, Tidbits looks at what Crayola ranks as America’s 12th favorite color.

Imagine being able to set foot into Russia without leaving the country.

• The longest wavelength of light discernible by the human eye is red. Longer wavelengths can’t be seen and are called infrared. Red light carries the least amount of energy. It’s also the highest arc of the rainbow.

• Early red dye was a very expensive commodity. It came from the female cochineal, a little beetle found in Mexican cacti. When the Spaniards arrived in Mexico in the 16th century, they scraped the beetles off the plants and dried them, then shipped them to Europe. About one million beetles were required to produce a pound of water-soluble extract.

Symbolism associated with the color red is full of opposites. We think of it as the color of love — red roses, Valentine’s Day and Cupid — but it is also the color of danger, hate and the devil. Red can be used as a symbol of guilt, sin and anger, as in the Biblical statement, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow.” Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1850 novel “The Scarlet Letter” tells the story of a woman in sin forced to sew a red letter “A” onto her clothing.

SEEING RED

(continued):

• According to psychological research, people of both genders find those of the opposite sex more attractive if they’re wearing red. Men wearing red appear more powerful to women, as well as higher in status and more likely to succeed. In a University of Rochester study, men were shown identical photos of the same woman. In one, she’s in a blue dress, and in the other, the dress is digitally altered to red. Consistently, men chose the photo of her in the red dress as more attractive.

• Other research indicates that red can keep us from doing our best on important tests. During experiments, those who saw a flash of red before the test were impaired in their performance, perhaps because they associated the color with mistakes and failures, as errors have been traditionally marked in red on school papers. Studies also show that red elicits the strongest reaction of all colors and can actually stimulate energy and increase blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat and pulse rate.

• Most Americans have probably seen the U.S. flag countless times without knowing what its colors mean. The red stripes symbolize “courage, hardiness and blood shed from the brave men and women who fought for America,” while the white stripes stand for purity and equality. The blue field represents justice, perseverance and vigilance.

• Before the days of synthetic dyes, the shade of red known as crimson was produced by using the dried bodies of the kermes insect. This bug is found in the Kermes oak tree, which grows in Mediterranean countries. Crimson is not only the official color of Harvard University’s athletic team, it is also the name of the team itself. Likewise, the University of Alabama’s 19 varsity sports teams adopted the name Crimson Tide in the early 20th century.

• A poem entitled “Warning” inspired the formation of The Red Hat society, a social group founded for the purpose of “fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness” for women over 50. The lines “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, with a red hat that doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me” gave the original group of 18 their signature hat idea. Within seven years, there were 40,000 chapters of the group worldwide. The Society has an online store, a magazine and more than 70,000 registered members who believe “silliness is the comedy relief of life.” The first red hat, which had been a birthday gift to one of the charter members, has been donated to the Smithsonian Museum of American History.

• An abundant amount of iron oxide on the surface of Mars gives the planet its red color, hence its nickname, the Red Planet. The fourth planet from the sun, Mars is the only planet whose surface can be seen in detail from Earth.

• In China, red is the symbol of good luck and fortune, and a bride traditionally wears red and walks down a red carpet to her groom, who lifts her red veil. When the couple’s children are born, well-wishers gift them with red eggs. During Chinese New Year, homes are decorated with red, red clothing is worn, and unmarried children are given red envelopes filled with “luck money.” Feng shui is an ancient Chinese method of organizing our spaces to achieve balance, harmony and good fortune. Devotees of feng shui recommend painting your home’s front door red to invite prosperity.

• Bees can see all bright colors except red. Consequently, red flowers are usually pollinated by butterflies, birds and wind.

• Your blood is red because it contains the protein chemical known as hemoglobin. Bright red in color, hemoglobin contains iron, which makes it a superb medium for transporting the oxygen and carbon dioxide essential for the body’s functions.

• The word red has found its way into many terms and phrases in the English language. When you’re really angry, you’re seeing red. And lots of things can cause you to see red: going through a lot of red tape (having to endure excessive paperwork or requirements to complete a process), or having your checkbook in the red, meaning it is below balance. Taking the red eye? You’re on an overnight flight. There’s not much recourse if you’ve been caught red-handed, because you’re clearly guilty. That might cause you to become red in the face or extremely embarrassed. Has someone given you poor advice?

Guidance with no value isn’t worth a red cent. Now and then, we’ve all received the red carpet treatment, when we’ve been made to feel special, and we’ve all had redletter days, which were important, memorable or joyful.

After such days, many folks like to paint the town red, meaning they go out to celebrate!

• Restaurateur Bill Darden’s first restaurant wasn’t a Red Lobster, but rather The Green Frog, when he was just 19. His first Red Lobster came along in 1968, opening in Lakeland, Florida. The chain now operates close to 700 locations throughout North America, with average annual sales per restaurant of $3.9 million.

TIDBITS’ FAMOUS LANDMARKS:

EIFFEL TOWER

The national symbol of France welcomes nearly seven million visitors every year. Follow along and learn more about the Eiffel Tower, one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

• Paris was chosen as the site of the 1889 World’s Fair to mark the 100th celebration of the French Revolution. The city solicited ideas for a unique entranceway to the area. Gustave Eiffel’s company submitted the winning design, although it was Eiffel’s employee Morris Koechlin who actually designed the Tower.

• Ground was broken in January of 1887, and over the next two years, two months and five days, 300 workers on wood scaffolding assembled more than 18,000 pieces of iron, holding them together with 2.5 million rivets to form the openframed structure.

Gustave Eiffel was adamant about safety precautions, and as a result, only one worker died during the construction.

• At the time of its completion, the Tower was, at 986 feet (300.5 m), the tallest structure in the world, surpassing the previous record-holder, the Washington Monument.

For 41 years, the Eiffel Tower kept that title. But in 1930, New York City’s Chrysler Building exceeded the Tower’s height.

• Gustave Eiffel engraved the names of 72 notable French scientists and engineers on the side of the tower in 23.6inch-high (60-cm) letters, just under the first platform; there are 18 names on each side.

• Nicknamed La dame de fer, or the iron lady, the Tower was finished at a cost of about $1.5 million, which translates to about $58 million in today’s dollars. By the end of its first year, the Tower had recouped about 75 percent of its initial cost.

• About seven million people visit the Eiffel Tower each year, making it the most visited paid monument in the world.

Since its opening, it has welcomed 250 million people from every corner of the world.

• The Tower was not well-received by Parisians and was frequently referred to as the “eyesore.” The structure’s building permit allowed it to stand for 20 years, after which it was to be dismantled.

However, in 1898, it was determined that the Tower was valuable as a radio tower, and it was saved from demolition.

• There are 347 steps to the first level of the Tower where visitors can dine at the fine restaurant Le 58 tour Eiffel. Another 674 steps bring climbers to the second level, location of the swanky restaurant Le Jules Verne. If climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower is on your bucket list, this is one item that you can’t check off. Tourists can only climb as far as the second level, with access to the summit by elevator only. At the top, on a clear day, visitors can see 42 miles in every direction.

• In order to protect the Tower from oxidation, its iron surfaces are repainted about every seven years, 18 times since its 1889 opening day. All the painting is done by hand by 25 painters over an 18-month period. About 50 tons of paint are used, along with 1,500 brushes, 5,000 sanding disks and 1,000 scrapers. The Tower’s color has changed occasionally over the years, starting with redbrown, progressing to yellow-ocher and chestnut brown, and finally ending up with its current bronze color.

• The word “T-shirt” didn’t appear in the English dictionary until the 1920s, and, at that time, was solely used to refer to underwear. Its origin dates to World War I when American troops were clad in wool uniforms during Europe’s hot summers. They saw European soldiers wearing lightweight cotton undershirts, and it wasn’t long before the Army and Navy had them as part of their uniforms.

• They were named T-shirts because of the outline of the garment’s shape. They moved from underwear to fashion in the 1950s when James Dean appeared in “Rebel Without a Cause” wearing a T-shirt, and Marlon Brando wore one in “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Almost overnight, it became cool to wear underwear as a fashion statement.

• Tie-dyed T-shirts became a craze in the 1960s, and the introduction of screen-printing provided the opportunity to create shirts bearing artwork, slogans and advertising.

Screen-printing uses screens as stencils, with ink directly imprinted onto the fabric. A different screen is required for each color. Today’s digital printing is much easier, eliminating the need for separate screens. Much like an inkjet printer works with your computer, digital printing allows multiple colors to be printed directly onto the shirt.

• The Smithsonian Institute is home to the oldest printed T-shirt, a campaign shirt for New York Governor Thomas Dewey’s 1948 presidential bid against Harry Truman.

• The term “blue collar” worker came about from the popularity of the color blue for the durable shirts of manual laborers. Because most office workers were attired in white shirts, that term evolved to identify those who work in office or professional environments. The color distinction has expanded to include a socio-economic class difference.

Surveys indicate that when a group of individuals in dress shirts enter an area, a person in a white shirt will be interpreted as the “boss” over those wearing colored shirts.

of the antioxidant beta-carotene. And citrus fruits provide plenty of vitamin C, another stress-busting antioxidant.

Foods to Avoid

How to Eat Right to Reduce Stress During times of stress, we often turn to traditional “comfort” foods such as macaroni and cheese, pizza, and ice cream. Ironically, these high-fat foods are usually the worst possible choices because they can make us feel lethargic and less able to deal with stress. Not only that, but stress can drive up our blood pressure and raise serum cholesterol levels, wreaking havoc on our arteries and increasing our risk of heart attack.

The best solution? Low-fat, high-fiber, carbohydrate-rich meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables. They soothe us without sapping our energy and give us the nutrients we need to boost our immune system. Here’s a guide to which foods reduce stress and which foods make it worse:

High-fat foods: Fatty foods such as meat or cheese dishes and many baked goods thicken our blood which in turn makes us feel tired, even lethargic. This is clearly not a good way to reduce stress! Even just one high-fat meal can increase our risk of a heart attack.

Caffeine: Many of us deal with a stress-induced lack of sleep by turning to coffee, tea, and colas. Unfortunately, caffeine stays in our systems longer than many realize.

Cutting back on caffeine can help with both sleeping problems and jitters.

Sugar: As a carbohydrate, sugar tends to calm us. The problem with sugar is that it’s a simple carbohydrate so it enters and leaves the bloodstream rapidly, causing us to, in effect, “crash.” On the other hand, complex carbohydrates such as pasta, beans, and lentils, the starchy parts of foods soothe without bringing us down.

Foods to Include

High-fiber, carbohydrate-rich foods: Scientists believe carbohydrates cause the brain to produce more serotonin, a hormone that relaxes us. And lots of fiber is helpful in preventing late-night binging. Some examples of healthy comfort food include baked sweet potatoes, minestrone soup, or sautéed vegetables over rice.

Fruits and vegetables: Chronic stress can weaken our ability to fight disease. By upping our intake of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, we can boost our immune system.

Acorn squash and carrots, for example, are great sources

Women’s Health Initiative Study Shows Modest Diet Changes Yield Modest Results On February 8, 2006, the Journal of the American Medical Association published three articles reporting the results of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification Trial. The study included 48,835 women, and tested a diet that aimed to reduce fat to 20 percent of energy and increase vegetable and fruit consumption.

After 8.1 years of follow-up, the cardiovascular effects of the diet change were minimal. Low density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad”) cholesterol fell 2.7 mg/dL and the risk of coronary heart disease fell by 3 percent while risk of all cardiovascular disease (including stroke and coronary heart disease) fell by 2 percent. Neither result was statistically significant.1 For breast cancer, risk was 9 percent lower in the intervention group, although this result did not reach statistical significance. One exception was for progesteronereceptor-negative tumors, for which the risk decreased by 24 percent.2 For colon cancer, the risk of incidence decreased by 3 percent with a 9 percent decreased incidence of polyps (which are often precursors to cancer).3 Some have taken the result to be a setback for low-fat diet advocates. However, the study confirms the findings

of several others: Modest dietary changes yield modest results.

The WHI diet is reminiscent of the dietary changes advocated by the National Cholesterol Education Program, a dietary shift that reduces fat to no more than 30 percent of calories, with less than 7 percent of calories from saturated fat and less than 200 milligrams of cholesterol per day.

White meat is favored over red meat, but the diet includes as much as six ounces of meat per day. This diet has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol concentrations by only about 5 percent.4

The flaw was in the diet design. By attempting to construct a “low-fat” diet that included animal products, the researchers were left with an impossible challenge. The leanest beef derives about 28 percent of its calories from fat. The leanest chicken isn’t much better at 23 percent fat, and even low-fat milk ranges from 24 to 35 percent total fat. Fish can vary in fat content, but all have cholesterol and more fat than is found in most foods from plants.

Diets that go further achieve far better results. Studies with vegetarian diets have shown LDL reductions of approximately 15 to 20 percent.5,6

The women participants were asked to reduce fat to 20 percent at which level “it was presumed that . . . intake of saturated fat would also be reduced.” However, their intake of red meat, fish and poultry, the major sources of saturated fat and cholesterol in the standard American diet, remained nearly unchanged.

Moreover, the WHI diet yielded poor compliance. While the low-fat group was to have a total fat intake of 20 percent of calories, the group averaged 24 percent after the first year and 29 percent by the study’s end. For comparison, the average American consumes about 33 percent of calories from fat (NHANES III, 2000); little difference from the WHI intervention.

A growing body of scientific evidence has shown that people on low-fat, plant-based diets have dramatically lower rates of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses than meat eaters. And while a modestly low-fat diet will yield modest results, a truly low-fat diet—that is, a vegan diet, without added fat—can be an effective and powerful tool for reducing cancer and heart disease risk.

Dramatic differences in cancer risk have been noted in international comparisons where dietary differences were far greater than those in the WHI.

Treatments Do Exist for Hepatitis C DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I believe I read in your column about something that can be given for hepatitis C. My doctor says there isn’t any treatment. Will you please advise me? -- Anon.

ANSWER: Chronic infection (lifetime infection) happens to about 80 percent of those infected with the hepatitis C virus. Worldwide, the virus infects 170 million people.

In the United States, 3.2 million are infected. Of the chronically infected, close to 20 percent will develop either liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. It takes 20 to 30 years before signs of such complications become apparent.

Predicting who benefits from treatment, therefore, is not an easy task. Perhaps your doctor said you would not benefit

TIDBITS - Please Support Our Advertisers from treatment now. Indications favoring treatment are finding hepatitis C virus RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the blood and documenting liver changes suggesting cirrhosis is beginning to take place. As I said, only 20 percent of those infected with this virus are at risk for these complications.

Treatment isn’t 100 percent effective for all. Success depends on which strain of virus infects a person. Strains 1 and 4 are less susceptible to treatment. ®

Standard treatment is ribavirin and peginterferon. New treatments are about to become available, and they show great promise in improving treatment success. Boceprevir and teleprevir are going to be launched for general use later this year. They will establish a new era for treatment.

The booklet on hepatitis A, B and C details these illnesses, how they are acquired and how they are treated.

Ensalada de Frijoles Makes 4 servings

This salad includes grains, beans and vegetables and makes an easy one-dish meal, especially if you use prewashed salad mix. Jicama (“hick-ama”) is a crispy root vegetable that is available in most markets.

Top each plate with layers of salad mix, carrots, black beans, jicama, tomatoes, corn, cilantro (if using), and avocado (if using).

Mix salsa, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle over each of the salads, then top with generous spoonfuls of additional salsa.

Variation: Substitute warmed corn tortillas (about 2 per plate) for brown rice.

Variation: Fat-free Italian dressing is a nice alternative dressing, especially when mixed with a bit of salsa before adding it to the salad.

If you’re desirous of getting rid of them, doctors can freeze them off or use a laser on them. You can apply tretinoin cream, an acne medicine. It takes a long time to fade the spots, but they will lighten in time. Bleaching creams like Eldopaque and Solaquin also work.

You have to be sure that your insurance covers the cost.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Is it possible for a man with prostate cancer, before it is treated, to pass the cancer to his wife through intercourse? This subject came up during lunch with friends.

Squash Pudding Makes 4 1/2-cup servings

Mashed winter squash is a sweet and colorful alternative to ordinary mashed potatoes. It’s also the perfect holiday side dish in place of yams, and it even makes a tasty dessert, especially if you add a few toasted, chopped pecans.

4 cups chopped butternut squash 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons tahini, peanut butter, or almond butter 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 salt Steam squash until very soft. Transfer to a food processor along with the remaining ingredients, except salt, and process until very smooth. Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.

HOLLYWOOD -- Every time Oscar nominations are announced there are surprises. This year, they’ve nominated four actors we’ve never heard of!

Jean Dujardin, nominated for the silent film “The Artist,” has worked in French films for 10 years. The 39-year-old

Dujardin won the best actor award at The Cannes Film Festival, The Golden Globes and The Screen Actors Guild Awards for a film in which he says only two words. He’s wed to Alexandra Lemy, who co-starred with him in an ‘09 French TV series. His co-star, Berenice Bejo, the best

Don’t Let Foreclosure Stop You from Reclaiming Your American Dream!

By Evan M. Rosen

We all know the obvious consequences of facing foreclosure. Losing your home, facing a deficiency judgment for the difference between the value of your home and the amount of your mortgage, and dealing with damaged credit are a few; but unfortunately there is so much more associated with this process than just your finances. Emotionally, losing a home can be extremely difficult. Often times, people build up a veritable carousel of dreams in their mind composed of all the good things they expect to happen in their home as they grow older. Feeling hopeless as you seemingly watch those hopes and dreams slowly slip away only adds to the emotional loss.

Couple the financial and emotional loss with the newly released scientific research that reveals a rise in stress related physical ailments discussed in a recent New York Times article titled “Foreclosures are Killing Us,” and it’s easy to see that foreclosure is not something to be taken lightly.

So what do you do? There have been several stories in the news about so called loan modification experts who will either do nothing but take your money in exchange

TIDBITS - Please Support Our Advertisers supporting actress nominee, had the film “Prey” out last year, though it went unnoticed. She is wed to “The Artist” writer and director Michael Hazanavicius. Don’t be surprised if Jean Dujardin and “The Artist” both take home the gold!

“A Better Life” best actor nominee Demian Bichir has acted in his native Mexico since he was 14 years old. His first American film was “In the Time of the Butterflies” in 2001, with Selma Hayek. In 2008, he starred with Benicio Del Toro in Steven Soderbergh’s “Che.” He also appeared in the fourth, fifth and sixth seasons of the Showtime comedy “Weeds” as Esteban Reyes, and last year in a little-known film, “The Runway.”

While the two French actors haven’t announced any new projects, Bichir has Oliver Stone’s “Savages” with John Travolta, Blake Lively, Uma Thurman, Selma Hayak, Emile Hirsch and Taylor Kitsch due out in September.

Rooney Mara, nominated for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” did “Friends With Benefits” in ‘09 and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “The Social Network” in ‘10. Unlike the other three she hails from Bedford, N.Y., and has “Lawless” with Christian Bale due out 2013, as well as Steven Soderbergh’s “The Side Effects” with Channing Tatum and Jude Law. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is part one of a trilogy of books written

by Swedish author Stieg Larsson. Mara also is signed to reprise her “Dragon Tattoo” role in “The Girl Who Played with Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest,” all remakes of the 2009 Swedish films.

bio-pic “Lovelace,” not as the star of the most famous Xrated film ever, “Deep Throat,” but as woman’s liberation activist Gloria Steinem. This should be quite a stretch for Parker, who was just the opposite kind of woman in the popular TV series and in two film versions. In order to do Steinem justice, Sara Jessica Parker will have to go from “Sex in the City” to “Feminist in the City!” You go girl!

Send letters to Tony Rizzo’s Hollywood, 8306 Wilshire Blvd., No. 362, Beverly Hills, CA 90211. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc

Sarah Jessica Parker, knowledgeable about “Sex in the City,” has replaced Demi Moore in the Linda Lovelace for a slew of ‘too good to be true’ promises, or who will, possibly in good faith but still unwisely so, submit your private financial information to a bank numerous times hoping the bank will respond to a plea for help.

The overwhelming failure of the federal government’s modification program only serves to highlight the fact that an approach which relies solely on corresponding with banks to ask for a modification is unfortunately rarely feasible.

Moreover, divulging your financial history is not only irrelevant to any legal issue at hand but it is also typically not in your best interest to do so. The larger concern is the servicers’ repeated requests for financial information under the guise of a loan modification might instead just be a fishing expedition to see if you have any assets which would be recoverable in a deficiency.

However, there is hope. Thanks to a handful of highly trained, extremely hard-working and dedicated litigation lawyers, homeowners can fight back and with very fair fee structures, they can do so for far less than you might think. These lawyers are seizing upon the opportunity left behind as a byproduct of the banks’ rush to profit both when these mortgages were formed and now as they are falling apart. Through the application of leverage resulting from numerous legitimate legal and ethical defenses, while simultaneously educating the lender how they would be far better off in a workout than they will be post foreclosure; with one of these highly trained professionals, you have a chance to substantially alter your circumstances. It can be a new day in court for homeowners armed with the right representation but take your time before jumping in with just any lawyer.

Foreclosure defense and all its inter-related topics are part of a burgeoning new area of law. In addition to

exploring all possible legal defenses and counterclaims that can be used in protecting your home, there are also several alternative actions a well-trained attorney can help you with in order to possibly eliminate your liability to the bank and/or prevent them from obtaining a deficiency against you.

Be sure you ask for a lawyer’s credentials before signing up, see if they offer a free consultation and during that consultation ask questions to make sure they are well versed in real estate law, bankruptcy, civil procedure and all of the various state and federal consumer protection statutes. With the forthright, aggressive and well-informed approach from a true legal professional, you have a greater chance of saving your home, getting your finances in order, and getting back on track to reclaiming your piece of the American dream!

For Want of a Nail Imagine being invited to the White House for dinner, but it’s with Joe Biden instead of the president. Or hiring a high-powered attorney for the big case, but when you meet him he has a cheap watch, unshined shoes and a dead-fish handshake.

In sports, as in life, an entire career’s worth of work can change in a single moment.

Most famously, there’s a baseball player who had 2,715 hits, 1,218 runs batted in and a batting title, but his 22-year career has been condensed into a single phrase: “Through the legs of Buckner!” If I say “Leon Lett,” you think of how he lost a touchdown in the Super Bowl, not that he has three rings. If I say “Jim Marshall,” you say “wrong way.”

At the 2012 Super Bowl, 90,000 people were in attendance.

They were guarded by more than 136,000 police officers and other security personnel. They were there to sweat the small stuff. It would only take one mishap for it to forever stain the reputation of Indianapolis, and both the city and the NFL weren’t taking any chances. They went so far as to hire security guards from public schools as far away as Michigan. Just about everyone but the Hells Angels was enlisted.

Kelly Clarkson sings the anthem, Madonna does the halftime show and the MVP wins a Corvette. If Clarkson had missed a word, she would be thrown on the scrap heap

of people who mangled “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Madonna is pulled into the stadium by 100 Roman slaves with people doing backflips all over the place, but everyone remembers that one girl gave the finger.

The game itself trumps all the other games of the season in one 60-minute contest, and that contest came down to three minutes at the end of the game. Mario Manningham gets his feet 1 inch inside the line to pull down a beautiful catch. New England coach Bill Belichik, with one flick of the wrist, loses the Super Bowl by throwing a challenge flag, costing the Patriots a timeout. If the Giants didn’t have 12 men on the field during their final drive, which oddly worked to their advantage by chewing precious seconds off the clock, Brady gets two shots at the end-zone. has found its way into our yard, and we have fed it. She will not come to us, but she and our cat play through the window. We were told our cat should not be around any other cats, as she could give them the disease. If the new kitten comes to us and receives the shot that protects against feline leukemia, would it be possible for the two cats to cohabitate? -- Amy V., via email

Is Sick Cat Doomed to Live Alone?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We adopted a kitten, “Charly,” a little more than a year ago, and she tested positive for feline leukemia. Our vet prescribed a medicine and she has been fine. She is an indoor cat. Now a new kitten

DEAR AMY: There is a possibility that both cats can eventually live together; however, if or when the stray kitten trusts you enough to come to you, you will need to keep her isolated from Charly for a little while longer.

First, the new kitten will need to undergo tests by the veterinarian for both feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), as well as for other illnesses and parasites like worms and fleas. She’ll need to be spayed and receive her required vaccinations. Second, kittens are at higher risk to contract FeLV, so she’ll need

And now, history may well remember Brady as the guy who couldn’t beat Eli Manning. Barring some sort of redemption like John Elway had by winning the Super Bowl, the ball he didn’t catch will define Wes Welker’s career. Likewise, Belichik will always be remembered for letting the other team score in a Super Bowl.

Just as the elephant is afraid of the mouse, true or not, the small mistake ruins the picture in its entirety.

Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

to be housed separately from Charly until she reaches six months to a year in age. Both should receive twice yearly checkups and their immunizations kept up to date.

Charly and the new cat may not mesh indoors as well as they do at the window. If they fight at all, they’ll need to be kept separated, so introduce them to each other very carefully. Also, the new cat mighht never adjust to the indoors. Be prepared for that, and at least get her spayed and vaccinated to protect her and the neighboring cat population.

• On March 2, 1904, Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, the author and illustrator of children’s books, is born in Springfield, Mass. Geisel’s first book, “And to Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street” (1937), was rejected by dozens of publishers.

• On Feb. 27, 1860, Abraham Lincoln poses for the first of several portraits by noted Civil War-era photographer Mathew Brady. A relatively new art form, the photograph (or daguerreotype) showed a beardless Lincoln just moments before the future president’s historic speech at Cooper Union in New York City.

• On March 3, 1887, Anne Sullivan begins teaching 6year-old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at age 19 months. Under Sullivan’s tutelage, Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist.

by Samantha Weaver • It was noted American wit and columnist Franklin P. Adams who made the following sage observation: “Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.” It’s certainly something to keep in mind during this strife-ridden election season.

• Americans make more collect phone calls on Father’s Day than on any other day of the year.

• It was a German company, Interstuhl Manufactur, that made the world’s most expensive office chair. With a price tag of $65,500, you shouldn’t be surprised that the chair is plated in gold and comes with a matching ottoman.

• On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh III, the 20-monthold son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family’s new mansion in Hopewell, N.J. Days later, the baby’s body was discovered near the Lindbergh home.

• On Feb. 29, 1980, the iconic glasses worn by rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Buddy Holly, lost since his death in a plane crash in 1959, are found in Mason City, Iowa. The plane wreckage was strewn across snow-covered cornfields, and the glasses weren’t found until the snow melted in the spring. They were given to the Cerro Gordo County SheriffÕs office, where they sat filed away for the next 21 years in a sealed envelope. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On Feb. 28, 1940, Mario Andretti, whose name will become synonymous with American auto racing, is born in Montona, Italy. He officially retired from racing in 1994 as the only driver to ever win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and a Formula One championship.

• On March 4, 1966, a John Lennon quotation that was ignored in England set off a media frenzy in America: “We’re more popular than Jesus now.” Bible Belt disc jockeys declared Lennon’s remarks blasphemous and

• Have you ever wondered where we got the phrase “the dog days of summer”? According to tradition, the dog days start in July -- and not just because it’s usually pretty hot then. At one time, that was when Sirius, also known as the dog star, rose at sunrise. The Romans associated Sirius (called the dog star because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major, or “large dog”) with hot weather, and at the beginning of the dog days they would sacrifice a dog in the hope of ameliorating the sultry weather.

• If you were to take the entire world’s water supply and compress it into one single gallon, freshwater would make up just 4 ounces, and freshwater that is easily accessible would be just two drops.

• Considering the fact that it’s home to much of the American film industry, it’s probably not surprising that the sprawling city of Los Angeles has the world’s thirdlargest GMP, or gross metropolitan product.

1-888-528-5548 Thomas Ince wrote, directed and produced more than 800 hundred films, but died at the peak of his career at age 42. Known as the father of the movie Western, he helped define the role of the movie producer and made films that were both influential and important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;War on the Plainsâ&#x20AC;?

(1912) was one of the first films to feature real Indians as actors, and two of his productions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Italianâ&#x20AC;? (1915) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Civilization (1916), have been selected for preservation by

the United States Film Registry.

Ince was born into a theatrical family in 1882 in Newport, R.I., and soon became involved in the profession, appearing in several stage productions including â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sweet Sakeâ&#x20AC;? (1906), where he met his future wife, contract actress Elinor â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nellâ&#x20AC;? Kershaw.

In 1911, Ince was offered a job that took him to California,

and after establishing himself in the film community, he leased a tract of land in the Santa Monica hills. Soon he had earned enough to buy the property and build his own studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inceville,â&#x20AC;? as the property became known, was the prototype for the first major California studio, featuring a complete roster of actors, writers, managers and a production people, all working on site.

After selling Inceville to Western actor William S. Hart, Ince joined D.W. Griffith and Mack Sennett to form Triangle Studios, which eventually became MetroGoldwyn-Mayer in 1924.

His biography by an archivist with the Library of Congress is filled with unexpected surprises: Ince played an important role in creating the first Asian stars in Hollywood, and he was not afraid to address such issues as spousal abuse, the changing status of women, religious hypocrisy, love inside and outside of marriage, and the challenges of an everchanging modern world.

Inceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work was cut short in 1924 when he suffered a fatal heart attack following a short outing aboard the yacht of William Randolph Hearst. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

From here forward, monitor your compost regularly and turn it every week. Also keep an eye on what you’re putting into the kitchen compost. Under no circumstances should you put in meat scraps; this will attract flies and result in maggots. Keep a roughly 50/50 ratio of carbonrich to nitrogen-rich ingredients.

By Samantha Mazzotta

Getting the Most From Compost Q: I just have a patio garden for my city apartment, but this fall I was able to start saving kitchen compost, which I transfer weekly to a large plastic laundry tub on the patio.

The large tub is the problem -- water is seeping up around the dirt, and of course the water has an odor. A friend of mine said the pH balance is off. How can I stop this from occurring? -- Jane in New Jersey

ONE ON ONE tutORING • Reading Readiness • Math Skills First • FcAt Preparation Session Carbon-rich ingredients include anything “brown,” such 50% OFF 305-653-1969 With ad. Tidbits

as sawdust, dead leaves, paper or straw; nitrogen-rich ingredients include anything “green” such as greens and vegetables. You can also add crumbled eggshells (calcium) and occasionally sprinkle wood ashes from the fireplace into the pile. When the danger of hard frost is past, add a handful of live earthworms to the freshly turned pile.

They’ll help aerate and break down the pile into rich compost.

A: What you need to do right away is turn the compost pile -- meaning, take a shovel, spade or stick and stir the compost, remixing everything. The compost in the tub has compacted, so instead of actually composting (breaking down solids) it’s putrefying.

affordable18@gmail.com We speak Russian, Spanish and Hebrew

Turning the compost will reintroduce air into the pile and help restart the process. If there’s a lot of extra water after turning, pour off some, but not all of it. There’s also the possibility that rain or snowmelt got into the tub. If you don’t want to punch drain holes in the bottom of the tub (most apartment managers frown on compost water stains on their patios) you should loosely cover the tub with a tarp so that air gets in but water does not.
