by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we consider the marvel of engineering called the human foot! • With 26 bones, 114 ligaments and 20 muscles, a foot is an amazing invention. A quarter of the bones in the human body are located in the feet. (Add in the bones in the hand, and that accounts for fully half of our bones.) Feet need to be structural marvels. • Consider that the average adult travels around 1,000 miles a year on foot, taking about 10,000 steps per day. A typical 70-year-old human will have walked a distance equivalent to going around the circumference of the earth four times. The feet strike the ground 17,000 times in a 20 mile marathon run, but even a mile of gentle walking subjects the feet to about 80 tons of weight. Feet must be sturdy. • Although 98% of us are born with healthy feet, 80 out of 100 Americans develop foot problems during their lifetime. At any given moment, about 30 million Americans suffer from foot problems, ranging from corns and ingrown nails to club feet and fallen arches. • Four times as many women as men deal with foot problems, mostly due to high heels. Podiatrists trace 95% of the 500 known foot ailments to ill-designed shoes or improper foot care. • High heels prevent the ankles from absorbing their normal share of the force of walking, shunting it instead to the toes. A three-inch heel puts more than seven times the pressure on the forefoot than a flat shoe. This promotes many foot ailments such as bunions, hammer toes, and neuroma, which is a painful thickening of the nerve that connects the toes. A study of 3,000 surgeries performed on the forefoot found that 87% of the bunion surgeries, 81% of hammer toe surgeries, and 89% of the neuroma surgeries were done on women’s feet.

• High heels also affect the knees. A study published in the British medical journal The Lancet showed that high heels cause strain and pressure on the joint that joins the kneecap and the underlying thigh bone. The rotational forces on the inner part of the knee joint were 23 percent higher when women participating in the study walked in heels than when they walked barefoot. • Surprisingly, the big toe has only two bones, while the rest of the toes have three. Although nearly every bone in the body has an official name, one exception is the toe bones. They are known only as “metatarsal digits #1-5.” A fourth-year medical student at Yale decided to undo the injustice by bestowing names on the toes. He called them porcellus fori, porcellus domi, porcellus carnivorus, porcellus nonvoratus, and porcellus plorans domun. In Latin, these names translate as little pig at market, baby pig at home, meat-eating piglet, small pig that has not eaten, and piggy crying all the way home. Some orthopedic surgeons have picked up his names, but doctors have not yet gone hog wild over the idea. • The measuring device in shoe shops is called a Brannock Device, after the inventor who designed it in the 1920s. The firm is still going strong. • Not surprisingly, the place on the body where the skin is thickest is the heel of the foot, where it’s about 1/16th of an inch thick. Compare that to the thinnest skin on the body— the eyelids— at 2/1000 of an inch. Although the heel is the area on the body that is least sensitive to pain, it’s also the sweatiest area. The 125,000 sweat glands in a single foot can excrete as much as half a pint of sweat per day. Research done at the University of Miami centered on foot odor. How does a research team study foot odor? First you get a bunch of volunteers to sit with their feet in plastic bags. Then you have the laboratory staff sniff the feet. They discovered that people with foot odor had large numbers of a certain bacteria on their bodies— the same type of bacteria found in Limburger cheese. They also discovered that antibiotics can reduce the number of bacteria, and thus improve the smell of feet. Why some people carry large amounts of this bacteria and others don’t is still unknown, but is under investigation. It could be differences in a person’s sweat or pH balance. Since it’s not a good idea to take antibiotics to reduce odor, this valiant research team is now trying to find ways to keep bacteria from sticking to the skin, to prevent bacteria from getting a “foothold.” Around 80 million Americans suffer from smelly feet. • One company called Sweet Feet combated foot odor with scented socks. Impregnated with various scents such as powder, citrus, strawberry, and peach, the footsie socks threw off a long-lasting fragrance. The odor remained even through many launderings and the socks cost about $20 per pair. • Many people do not wear the correct shoe size for their feet. Often this is because people stick to the size they were measured for when young and fail to realize that their feet change shape. • The only thing worse for feet than high heels was the Chinese practice of foot-binding. A young girl’s feet were wrapped with a bandage ten feet long, strapped in a figure eight around the foot and ankle. It was tightened daily and pulled so taut that the four smallest toes were forced under the foot, breaking the bones. The bones in the arch of the foot would also break, forcing the arch into a sharp inverted “V” shape. Every two weeks the girl was given a pair of shoes two tenths of an inch smaller than the previous pair. Infection often resulted, sometimes followed by gangrene, amputation of toes, and even death. After two years, the ideally deformed foot fit a shoe only four inches long, and would proudly be called “lotus feet” or “lily feet.” Because women with lily feet could only put weight on their heels and couldn’t walk without pain, they hobbled with a mincing step which men considered charming. No one knows why the custom became habit, though it’s conjectured that the practice was popular because it prevented unhappy wives from running away. The practice began with the higher classes in order to prove that the family was so rich that the daughters didn’t need to work. However, a majority of low-class girls had their feet bound anyway in the hopes that they would find a high-class marriage. Only the most poverty-stricken families, whose daughters needed to work in the fields, failed to follow the practice. Beauty in the feet was considered more important that beauty in the face. Foot-binding was the norm in China for a thousand years, until being outlawed in the Revolution of Sun Yat-Sen in 1911. A 1997 study of elderly women in Beijing who had suffered from foot binding in their youth found they tended to fall easily, were often unable to rise from a chair without help, could not squat, and had higher rates of osteoporosis.

Bake Power Bars for Energy Snack Neighborhoods hum and bustle with an extra dose of activity this time of year, and some households, like the Gustafson’s, seem to be especially on the go -- make that “on the run,” but in a good kind of way. Watching the action from the sidelines, I can’t help but be inspired by this fit family. All four kids play hockey, baseball/softball and tennis, and two play soccer. Toss in the parents, and biking trumps driving the car whenever possible. No wonder mom Angie always has her favorite chewy power bar recipe handy for easy reference. She and the kids enjoy making the tasty snack that is chock full of healthy ingredients, including flaxseed, wheat germ and raisins. Reese’s Pieces are added to the mix, but she controls the amount. “The original online ‘Ultimate Power Bar’ recipe, which has been passed from friend to friend, comes from Lunds, our neighborhood market where you can easily find all the ingredients,” she says. “But, like most recipes I prepare, I tweak the ingredients to suit our tastes. The bars are ideal for school lunches, picnics and rest stops when we bike around town with our cycling club, the Mill City Cyclomaniacs. I don’t know a kid who doesn’t like them -- even the picky eaters ask for the energy snack.” Make a batch this weekend with your kids.

Cataracts Are Common at Older Ages DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My doctor gave me some very unsettling news. He says I have cataracts in both eyes. I haven’t been able to sleep since he told me. My aunt was blind later in life. I don’t know the cause, but I do know that life was very tough for her. I haven’t contacted the ophthalmologist my doctor referred me to. I’m too scared. How are cataracts treated? How long is recuperation? -- S.M. ANSWER: If a doctor examined the eyes of most people over 60, the doctor would tell them they have the beginning of a cataract. Do you know what a cataract is? Right behind the pupil is the eye’s lens, a small, oval-shaped, perfectly clear structure. The lens focuses light on the retina in the back of the eye, so we get a clear picture of what we see. A cataract is a smudge in the lens. Proteins in the lens have stuck to each other to produce a stain in the lens like a thumbprint on the lens of glasses. Your cataract must not be large. You have no complaints of it interfering with your vision. Most cataracts result from aging. Smoking, alcohol excess, constant exposure to sunlight and long-term use of high doses of cortisone drugs also contribute to cataract formation. The evolution of your cataract to one that blurs vision is unpredictable. The process is painless. Difficulty seeing at night and difficulty reading fine print are early symptoms of cataracts affecting vision. Treatment is close to miraculous. When the lens smudge greatly affects vision, the eye doctor removes the lens and replaces it with a lens made of plastic or silicone. Cataract removal is done as an outpatient. You can be up and about by the evening of surgery or the following day. You’ll be astounded at the minimum inconvenience of the procedure and with the vision that results from it. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What’s the best time to take a multivitamin? I take one in the morning. That way I don’t forget to take it. -- L.M. ANSWER: I believe this is the most frequently asked question I get. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble vitamins. They’re better absorbed if they’re taken after a meal that has some fat or oils in it. Vitamins B and C are water-soluble and can be taken at any time. I’m not convinced that the timing of vitamin-taking is all that important. Take your multivitamin when it’s most convenient. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I lift weights seven days a week. I see that I am making progress. My arms are much bigger than they were. I’ve been told I’m overdoing it by lifting every day. Am I? -- R.S. ANSWER: It’s not a good idea to perform the same weightlifting exercises on consecutive days. Muscles need a full 48 hours to recover, rebuild and grow after an intense exercise session. A day of lifting and then a day of rest is a good schedule. You can lift weights daily if you want to. Just don’t work the same muscles on consecutive days.
Should Your Pet Be Microchipped? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Fred” constantly tries to escape the house, and he has succeeded five or six times. I usually lure him back with a bit of cat food outside the door, or a neighbor will call me if they see him. However, he usually loses his collar and ID tag when he runs away (he has a breakaway collar), and I’m afraid he’ll get lost or picked up by animal control. His vet said I should microchip him, but it’s pretty expensive at $100. Is it worth the cost? -- Carol in Virginia
DEAR CAROL: The cost to microchip your pet is not as much as you might think. While prices vary, microchipping can cost less, so ask around other clinics and pet stores that offer the service. Also, low-cost pet-care clinics are often held in towns and cities throughout the United States during the year; many offer microchipping services for less than $25. The microchip itself is about the size of a grain of rice and goes just under your pet’s skin. If Fred runs away and is found by someone who brings him to a local vet, the clinic can scan for a microchip and can then retrieve your contact information. Since your cat is a flight risk, it’s important that you also keep Fred’s vaccinations up to date. Rabies, feline leukemia, and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) are diseases that outdoor cats are especially vulnerable to, should they encounter feral cats or wild animals.

Veterans Claims Still Backlogged Six months ago, we looked at the claims processing time for a number of small and large locations across the country. Given the Department of Veterans Affairs’ efforts to reduce the time to process a claim to less than 125 days, let’s check in with a few of the same locations and see how they’re doing. In November, White River Junction, Vt., had 969 veterans awaiting claims, with 510 waiting an average 239 days. Now they have 834 veterans waiting an average of 239 days. However, average wait time for first claims is now at 559 days. Lincoln, Neb., had 4,476 veterans waiting, 1,678 of them over 125 days. Now they have 2,560 veterans, with 695 over 125 days. Average wait time is 143 days. Clearly there’s been some progress made. Let’s look at some of the more populated areas. Last November, St. Petersburg, Fla., had 46,366 veterans waiting an average 207 days. Of those, 30,321 were past the 125-day mark. Now there are 50,492 veterans waiting an average of 319 days. Of those, 34,860 are over 125 days. As usual, the devil is in the details. The office receives 4,293 claims per month and only completes 3,687. Baltimore, Md., had 19,662 claims waiting last November, with 16,472 past the 125-day mark. Average claim time was 343 days. Now it has 18,421 veterans with 15,326 waiting over 125 days with an average claim time of 417 days. Here, too, the incoming exceeds the outgoing: 1,023 claims coming in each month, and only 880 completed.

A gentleman in Iowa has gone back to school, although not in the traditional sense. He’s found his way to the local elementary school, where he volunteers doing a variety of tasks -- not just a few hours a week, but every day. He’s 74 years old. Some days he spends time one-on-one with children who need help with math. Other times he helps those struggling with reading. During his “spare” time he reorganized the school’s library. His school feels lucky to have him. All across the country there are schools in trouble. They’re victims of budget cuts that take away valuable resources, perhaps the resources that the kids need most. Instead of a reading specialist in each school, maybe that specialist is spread out over five schools, and too many kids are falling through the cracks. The federal infusion of “turnaround” dollars for the past three years is about to end. Less money will mean even fewer resources. It can be a vicious cycle. But it’s one that we can break -- by volunteering at our schools. Here are some things you can do: --Help struggling students with math and reading at all grade levels. --Answer phones in the front office. --Help with building maintenance on an ongoing basis. --Teach art classes. --Assist with field trips. --Give presentations on a topic you know a lot about. --Organize bake sales. --Catalog, repair and shelve books in the library. --Give music lessons. --Chair an afternoon special-interest club. We have the time; we have the experience. Who better than seniors to lend a helping hand at our local schools? To get started, call the school principal, the head of the PTA or the district offices.

¥ It was Albert Einstein who made the following sage observation: “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” ¥ According to some Native American tribes, all you have to do to make a wish come true is to catch a butterfly, whisper your wish to it and set it free.
Q: In my mom’s home, I noticed that a few of the cover plates on the outlets don’t sit flush with the wall. Some are angled out so there is a small gap between the plate and the wall, for example. I tried tightening the center screw on the plates, but this didn’t help, and one of them cracked when I overtightened it. How can I fix this? -- Sarah in Syracuse, N.Y. A: It’s likely that the receptacles themselves, or their housing, are misaligned. This can be caused by the screws holding the receptacle in place being loose, or the housing (the junction box) not being properly secured. Because the receptacle or junction box doesn’t sit straight, the cover plate doesn’t sit straight. Hence, the gap between the cover plates and the wall. Turn off power to the crooked outlets, at the circuit panel. To make sure power is no longer reaching an outlet, plug a radio or a lamp into each of the two outlets of the receptacle. If they stay off, power is most likely off. However, always treat electrical hardware and wiring as if it is live. Remove the cover plate and take a look at the small screws on either side of the receptacle. If they’re loose, tighten them so that the receptacle sits straight within the metal junction box.
Straightening the receptacle should fix the cover-plate alignment problem. However, if it doesn’t, check to see if the junction box itself is straight. It may have been installed at a bad angle. If this is the case, adjusting the box is more complicated. You’ll have to remove the receptacle, disconnecting its wires and labeling them so that you are able to reconnect them correctly. Then you’ll have to unscrew the junction box from the stud, use a level to find the correct angle, drill a new hole or holes in the stud, then attach the junction box via the new holes, rewire the receptacle and put it back in place. This can be time consuming and frustrating, because you are working in a tiny space. If you’ve never wired up a receptacle or light switch before, there are several risks involved, from damaging the receptacle to injuring yourself. In many cases, the first fix -- tightening the receptacle screws -- generally does the trick. However, if the second issue arises, consider the amount of work involved and whether you’re confident in doing it. If you’re not sure you can do it, consider having a licensed electrician come in to straighten the junction boxes and give the house’s entire electrical system a look over for any other issues. HOME TIP: Use a small appliance, like a radio, lamp or a fan, to test whether power is reaching an outlet, by plugging the appliance into it.
“If It SwImS we’ve Got It”
¥ If you drive a white automobile, you have a lot of company. There are more white cars in the United States than any other color. ¥ You probably are aware that the names that foreign places are known by in the English language are not always the same as the names of those places in the local tongue. The capital of Russia is called Moskva in that country, and to Italians it’s not Venice, but Venezia. Not all names sound so similar, though; if you didn’t know the language, it would be nearly impossible to figure out that Ellinki Dimokratia is what Greeks call their country, and that Konungariket Sverige is Sweden to the Swedish. South Korea is known locally as Han Kook, China is Zhonghua Renmin Gonghe Guo, and Finland is Suomen Tasavalta.

Money Management for Students
¥ If you keep aloe around for soothing your skin after too much time in the sun, take this tip from J.C. in Florida: Keep the aloe in your fridge; it keeps it cool, and it feels even more refreshing. ¥ Want to eat more fruits and vegetables? Keep precut fruit and easy veggie dippers like carrots, bell pepper strips and celery at eye level in see-through containers in your refrigerator. The more you see it, the more you’ll eat it. ¥ Wedding Tip: To create a beautiful garland for banisters, use white or light-colored tulle, draped in sections and gathered with a lovely bow. Twist the tulle around a string of clear lights for an even more dramatic effect.
¥ To create an easy resting mat for toddlers, sew three pillow cases together in a row along the long end. When needed, stuff three pillows in, and it creates a long mat, suitable for naptime or TV time. ¥ Use wide, flat rubber bands, such as you might find on a broccoli stalk, to identify your drinking glass. Write each person’s name in permanent marker on the band, and slip over the glass. Another benefit? It makes the glass non-slip! ¥ M.R. in Wisconsin writes: “Chalkboard paint is a wonderful creation for kids. If you rent and can’t paint the walls, purchase large squares of smooth pressboard at a building-supply store and paint those. Then just mount them to the wall using mirror clips. The kids absolutely love ours!

Parents who have a child going away to college have more to worry about than partying and failing grades. Two things are a given: 1) New students on campuses will be approached to sign up for credit cards, and 2) students need to know in advance how to handle the financial responsibility. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a special edition of its Consumer News to help young adults and teens manage their money and avoid financial scams. Here are a few places to start to get your student up to speed. Credit cards: Teach your child everything you know about credit-card use, even your own mistakes. Show them how to read the fine print on the disclosure, to be aware of the card’s limit (and how that limit can affect credit scores) and to pay off the full balance each month. Don’t apply for multiple cards (especially if the applications are being handed around on campus by zealous recruiters) and to take advantage of alerts from credit-card companies about payment reminders. If there’s any doubt about your child’s ability to handle payments, aim him or her toward a pre-paid card or one with a very low credit availability. Credit reports: Students need to know that potential employers will check their credit history during the job-application process. Insurance companies will do the same, with monthly premiums partially determined by credit scores. At some point, a graduate will need a loan, perhaps for a first car. An initial credit history, although short, will help secure a lower interest rate. Picking a bank: As a student, your child will likely only need the most basic of services. If he or she is going away to school, start shopping on the Internet. You’ll need one close to campus that has the lowest possible fees. Check whether there are fees for falling below a minimum required balance, or for an excess number of ATM withdrawals or debit-card transactions. Plan to open an account at the same time you’re moving your student into the dorms. Guarding against fraud and scams: Your child needs to know to review bank and credit-card statements the minute they arrive, to keep personal information private, especially online, and to be suspicious of emails that appear to come from the bank.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An apparent act of injustice might turn out to be either an error in judgment or just plain stupidity. So calm down and cool off, and let the explanations roll out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s upsetting when someone you trusted might have failed you. But with new opportunities ahead, you’ll soon be too busy to feel even a wee bit sorry for yourself. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A sense of uncertainty could be a good reason to change your position on an important matter. Someone close might try to talk you out of it, but it’s your decision to make. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Being too zealous in pursuing your goal could create some resistance. Try to be more mindful of what you ask people to do, and they’ll be more likely to do it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Things change as you go from being ignored to being Lionized once again. This is a good time to reintroduce those previously rejected ideas to a more receptive audience. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone new in your life creates both anticipation as well as anxiety. Avoid the potential for misunderstandings by watching what you say and how you say it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch your budget so that you don’t overspend now and have less to invest when the time is right later on. Arrange to share your weekend with someone special. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The temptation to involve yourself in a friend’s or family member’s personal problems is laudable. But get the facts before you make a firm commitment. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to keep the faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’ve reached an important point in your ongoing pursuit of your goals. You might now want to consider letting someone you trust join you on your journey. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’ve been going through a spate of uncertainty involving people you care for. But it might be time to take a stand on a position you feel sure you can defend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Treading water keeps you busy, but it won’t get you where you need to go. Time to stop making excuses and to start moving ahead toward your goals. BORN THIS WEEK: You see life as both creative and pragmatic. You would not only be a fine artist, but also a successful one.

Staying Connected In The Golf Swing
by Mike T. Pedersen
One big buzzword in golf instruction these days is connection. More importantly staying connected in the golf swing for more power and consistency. Many amateur golfers swing with their arms only and this is a very weak attempt at gaining more distance. Only when you can sync up your arms and body will you hit the ball with power. When you see a baseball player or tennis player hit a powerful shot, you will see the arms and body are moving together. This is the connected movement we are talking about. Too many times golfers are told to make a BIG backswing for more distance, but what happens is they get their arms disconnected from their body at the top, then it’s all timing and arms coming into the ball.
Luther & Carol Pratt
3884 South McKenzie Street (HWY 59) Foley, Alabama
The better golfer realizes that by keeping the arms connected to the body, they can pivot strongly through the ball, getting maximum compression. It is very difficult to learn how to stay connected in your golf swing, but I’ve come across a golf training aid that will help you INSTANTLY get this feeling. And, you can hit balls with it to really ingrain the feeling you need to take it to the course.
They have been in the golf business for 40 years and have been at their present location for 10 years. Specializing in new and used custom brand name clubs. Repair & regripping is also available as well as good golf advice!

McIlroy, Donald miss cut at BMW PGA Champ. VIRGINIA WATER, England — Rory McIlory was one of five 2012 European Ryder Cup players to miss the cut Friday in the BMW PGA Championship, while Medinah teammate Francesco Molinari took the lead at cold and wet Wentworth. The second-ranked McIlory had a 3-over 75 to finish at 5 over. Two-time defending champion Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Paul Lawrie — all members of Europe’s winning team last year at Medinah — also dropped out early. Molinari put himself in position for his fourth European Tour title, shooting a 68 to take a one-stroke lead at 6 under. South Africa’s George Coetzee, Scotland’s Marc Warren, England’s Mark Foster and Spain’s Alejandro Canizares were tied for second. Foster had a 69, and Coetzee, Warren and Canizares shot 70. Sergio Garcia, the Spanish player whose verbal sparring with Tiger Woods turned ugly this week when he said he would “serve fried chicken” if he had dinner with Woods, was five strokes back after a 71.
Luke Donald fired a 78 to miss the cut at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday.
