full 75 percent of U.S. breweries were using them. • You might logically think that the amount of beer consumed is directly related to the required number of trips to the bathroom, but that’s not entirely true. Actually, it has to do in large part with something called the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) produced by the hypothalamus in the brain.

• One of the best ways to diminish the agony of a hangover is to drink a couple quarts of water before going to bed. Guzzling coffee is not a cure since caffeine is also an ADH inhibitor and it also messes up the signals to the kidneys. Coffee has never sobered anyone up.

BEER (from page one)

• ADH regulates urine production and the amount of water in the bloodstream, maintaining the balance between water and salt in the tissues. Alcohol inhibits the production of ADH, so the kidneys don’t receive the normal signals from the brain. They go on drawing water out of the bloodstream at a constant rate because they are not told to stop. This dehydrates the body, which explains why thirst is a main symptom of a hangover.

The Oland Family (from page 2) they have a more sensitive palate. • Andrew Oland says, “My father, Derek, says that beer is a reward for hard work. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve just mowed the lawn, it’s Friday night and you’ve finished a tough week of work, or you’re getting together with friends. To me, it’s every time that you’ve worked hard and you’ve accomplished something and you want to reward yourself and celebrate your success.” • The company brews a number of beers aside from Moosehead Pale Ale, including labels such as Barking Squirrel, Cracked Canoe, and Lawn Chair. • Moosehead is now Canada’s oldest and largest brewery, as well as being the only independently family owned brewery in the country. The company currently employs about 350 people in New Brunswick. Great-great-great Grandma Susannah would be proud! 

It’s nice to have a little breakout scene like this after doing so many projects. It’s tough for a character actor.” ***

Q: Q: I have a question about the actor

who played Jared Leto’s father in “Dallas Buyers Club,” which I saw over the holidays. He looks so familiar, but I can’t quite place him. -- Kyra T., via email

You’re thinking of character actor James DuMont, who’s been on tons of TV shows like “American Horror Story,” “Treme,” “Nashville” and “Bonnie and Clyde,” and on the big screen in “The Butler,” “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “War of the Worlds” and “Along Came Polly,” to name just a few. J a m e s was thrilled to be in “Dallas Buyers Club,” which centers on Ron Woodroof (played by Matthew McConaughey), who works around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is diagnosed with James DuMont the disease. James plays the estranged father of Jared Leto’s character, Rayon, who’s transgender and HIV positive. When I recently spoke with James, he told me about working with Jared: “It’s a really powerful scene we share. Jared does powerful work in this; as soon as we finished our scene, I tweeted that Jared would get an Oscar nomination for this role. And he seems to be the frontrunner at this point.

This past summer I got involved with a series called “Mistresses.” Can you tell me if it’s going to return, or was it just something they put on for the summer? -- Liz R., via email

ABC has renewed “Mistresses” for a 13-episode second season, which is scheduled to air in summer 2014. The show, which is based on the British series of the same name, stars Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes, Jes Macallan and Yunjin Kim. The show centers on the lives of four female friends, and their involvement in an array of illicit and complex relationships. ***

I really enjoy “The Glades,” but I think I read someplace that it is being canceled. I truly hope this is not so. Can you please find out its status? -- Diane, via email

The A&E network decided this past fall to cancel “The Glades” after four seasons. The police procedural broke records for A&E when it debuted, but slowly and steadily it lost more than one-third of its viewers throughout the series run, so the network canceled it. *** READERS: I told you I’d let you know when I had an exact date for the season two premiere of “Vikings,” and I’m a woman of my word. “Vikings” returns to the History channel Thursday, Feb. 27, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

VA Links 5 More Illnesses to TBI

DEAR GEORGETTE: I cannot promise a magic wand in my new book. However, I do believe that it will give you help and understanding for how you can maximize your resources and perhaps even boost your income. I have to say that 70 is looking a lot younger to me every day. I just read somewhere that 80 is the new 60, which I think would suggest that 70 is the new 50! See how young you are? I want to encourage you in every way I can to not only improve your own situation, but to influence your daughters and granddaughters to begin their own planning now, no matter how Ad Proof: young or old they are. I wrote this book for you and them as well. I pray- that all of youFlying will read it and John Cuddihy Flags “A” take it to heart.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has added five illnesses to service-connected Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). What this means is that veterans who have those illnesses as well as TBI will have an easier time getting additional disability benefits. The VA based its decision on a report by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine that found “sufficient evidence” to link moderate to severe TBI with the five conditions: Parkinson’s disease, certain types of dementia, depression, unprovoked seizures or certain diseases of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. Those secondary illnesses will be considered service-connected and won’t require medical opinions to establish whether there is correlation to TBI. There’s a time period for three of the five illnesses, however. Parkinson’s disease or unprovoked seizures don’t have a time frame.  Dementia, if it manifests within 15 years with moderate or severe TBI.  Depression, if it manifests within three years with moderate or severe TBI or within 12 months with mild TBI.  Diseases of hormone deficiency from hypothalamo-pituitary changes if they manifest within 12 months of moderate or severe TBI. Even if you don’t meet the guidelines for severity of TBI or length of time between TBI and the onset of the second illness, file your claim anyway, says the VA. If you have questions or want to file a new claim, go online to www.eBenefits.va.gov/ebenefits or call toll free to 1-800-827-1000. If you’re still active duty but within 180 days of discharge, you can file a pre-discharge TBI claim at the same link to phone number.

A Dog Is a Dog Is a Dog When I started training dogs more than 30 years ago, about 10 percent of the calls I received were from people with aggressive dogs. Today, that percentage is approaching 90. And here’s one more: Actually, this is my daughter-in-law and son’s dog, but I’ve read your information page about aggressive dogs, which she is. She has bitten at least twice, the most recent time being this past week -- and the victim was their own young son, my grandson. My daughterin-law refuses to give the dog up or have it destroyed for exactly the reason you state on your info page: “It’s her first baby.” Our son is standing with his wife. The rest of the family -- on both our daughterin-law’s and our son’s sides -- have said they need to get rid of the dog and protect their son, put their son first. But they want to train the dog instead. Please help me try to reason with my children and prevent any further damage or death to my grandson. “It’s her first baby” is a far more common feeling than you might realize, and I believe what it really means is at the root of this rising percentage. “It’s her first baby” is just another way of saying the family dog is no different from the children and the parents, that the dog is no different from the humans. And this humanization of our dogs leads to emotional confusion on the part of grownups and psychological confusion on the part of dogs. When you see your dog as no different from your child, it becomes difficult to prioritize appropriately and make decisions that promote the safety of your child. And from this clouded perspective, your expectations of your dog become unrealistic. A dog is not a child and does not learn like a child. You can teach your child not to pinch people and have a realistic expectation that he will not pinch. Your dog’s animal instincts have a greater degree of control over his behavior than do you in certain situations. Teaching him not to bite isn’t as simple as teaching your child not to pinch, and your expectations should not be the same. You can’t have a heart-to-heart with your dog about consequences and the feelings of other dogs and people. You have to understand a dog on his own terms, which means educating yourself about canine CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Immediate Treatment is Crucial in Stroke Care If diagnosed with a stroke, it is important to get to the hospital immediately. If it’s caused by a blood clot, immediate treatment with the drug tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) can dissolve the clot, leading to an improved prognosis and less long-term disabilities. Once reaching the emergency room, a CT scan or MRI is immediately needed to diagnose that a blood clot is the cause of the stroke. Using a CT scan, an interventional radiologist or neurologist guides a catheter through the carotid artery and into the affected brain artery, so the TPA can be infused. To be effective, the infusion must begin within three hours of the first symptom of the stroke. Unfortunately, researchers at Yale University have shown that only 37 percent reach the emergency room early enough for the TPA to be effective. Recently published in the journal Stroke, research has shown that 62 percent of Medicare patients diagnosed with a stroke will either die or be readmitted to the hospital within a year. Of those admitted to a hospital following the stroke, 14 percent die within a month and 30 percent more die within the first year. During the first days after the stroke, the risk of death ranged from 9 percent in top-performing hospitals to 18 percent in those hospitals where outcomes were the worst. Interestingly, being designated as a major stroke center did not appear to affect readmission or death rates within a year. Symptoms of a stroke should not be ignored -- either call 911 or get to an emergency room as soon as possible. Early warning signs of a stroke include: sudden weakness or numbness in an arm or leg on one side of the body, loss of the ability to speak or walk, difficulties with balance, dizziness or sudden onset of confusion. On occasion, a severe headache can be a harbinger of a stroke. But the diagnosis is more likely to be caused by a cerebral bleed rather than a blocked artery. Sometimes symptoms may only last a few minutes and completely resolve. The cause is a blockage of a smaller artery that causes transient symptoms. Referred to as a transient ischemic attack or TIA, this is often a warning sign of an impending stroke. If these symptoms occur, it’s essential to get an immediate evaluation, usually in an emergency room. Anyone being treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease or vascular disease in the lower limbs (peripheral arterial disease) is at a greater risk of developing a stroke. A greater than 70 percent narrowing of a carotid artery is associated with an increased risk of a stroke -- as is having a history of an irregular heart rate (arrhythmia) and being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Evaluation of a TIA usually involves a CT or MRI of the brain to determine if there has been blockage of small brain arteries as well as scans of both carotid arteries to determine if they are narrowed. If blocked by more than 70 percent, intervention to open the blockage significantly reduces stroke risk. An evaluation of the heart is needed to determine if atrial fibrillation is present, in which case anticoagulation with the blood thinner Coumadin is prescribed. Patients with atrial fibrillation develop blood clots in their hearts that can break off and go to the brain -- where blockage of a blood vessel can lead to a major stroke. At any age, effective anticoagulation will reduce stroke risk by

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Disability Benefits for Widows but Not Wives Q:

My mother is 60 years old and disabled. She was a stay-at-home mom all her life, so she has no Social Security of her own. She was married to my father for 25 years but he died a long time ago. She remarried, and that marriage lasted 15 years before they got a divorce. Her second husband is 67 years old and retired. He was a lawyer and made a good living. My mom spent many hours filling out disability forms, and has all kinds of documentation from doctors indicating she is disabled. She took them to the Social Security office to file for benefits as a disabled ex-wife of the lawyer. They told her filling out the forms was a waste of time. They said all she is due is a widow’s pension from my dad’s Social Security record. He made nowhere near as much money as the lawyer, so his Social Security account is smaller. Because they were married for over 10 years, why can’t my mom get disability benefits from her well-to-do second husband?

Many golfers out there have a difficult time finishing their swings in balance. It is tough for them to “strike a pose” and hold their finish. This is often a result a poor balance. As discussed in previous articles, the key to making better swings is understanding how the body is designed on a grid and in eight sockets; two shoulder, hips, knees and ankles. Keeping these sockets stacked in relation to each other is what keeps the body in balance and when the body is in balance it makes it easier to keep the rotation of the swing moving through to a balanced finish. Notice in the photo how I am in perfect balance as I am holding my finish; my shoulders are balanced on top of my hips, which are balanced on top of my knees and on top of my feet. I also have both shoulders level to each other as well as the hips and knees. As you can see on the screen in the distance, my body is basically on a grid that shows me what perfect balance feels like. Many times higher handicappers struggle into a balanced finish because their shoulders have rotated off their hips in the forward swing or they have swiveled their knees out from under their hips. As soon as the body feels this loss of balance it will stop the rotation and the arms and hands will need to flip the club through impact resulting in a mishit. Teaching with Motion Analysis Technology, as seen in the photo with the sensors on my body and image on the screen in the background, gives me the exact data to measure my angles in my swing. I can see on the monitor where perfect balance is as I hold my finish, therefore train my body to repeat perfect balance on a more consistent basis. This exact data gives me and the student greater clarity and precision in making the necessary adjustments to create a faster more effective result. If you would like to experience Motion Analysis Technology to improve your swing, give me a call.
