World’s Fairs (from page one) were used as a tool for nations to improve their global image by showing their best innovations through elaborate pavilion displays. • The first World’s Fair held in the United States was the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia. The major event celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in that city. Close to 10 million visitors attended the fair, which at the time was equal to about 20% of the U.S. population. • Several new innovations made their debut at the 1876 fair, including Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, Heinz ketchup, Hires root beer, a Remington typewriter, and a 1500-horsepower Corliss steam engine, which provided power for all the exhibits. Four buildings from this Exhibition still remain at the site. • The entrance arch to the 1889 World’s Fair was highly criticized as an eyesore, yet it has become one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Paris’ Eiffel Tower was built as part of the exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. • The designer, Gustave Eiffel, had a permit for the Tower to stand for 20 years and it was set for demolition in 1909. However, the Tower proved valuable for purposes of communications and the City of Paris allowed it to remain. Upon its completion in 1889, at 1,063 feet tall (324 m), it

was the tallest man-made structure in the world, an honor it held for 41 years. Today, the iconic structure is the most-visited paid monument in the world, with 25,000 visitors daily, and some seven million annually. • St. Louis was chosen as the site of the 1904 World’s Fair to celebrate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The 1904 Summer Olympics were held there in conjunction with the fair, the first time they were held in the U.S. The field that was used for the track events is still in use today on the campus of Washington University. • Other features making their debut at Exposition were the commemoration of Louisiana Purchase, the X-ray machine, baby incubator, the electric typewriter, telephone answering machine.

• New York City has hosted three World’s Fairs – 1853, 1939, and 1964. At the 1853 exhibition, Elisha Otis demonstrated his elevator equipped with a safety brake. Three years later, America’s first passenger elevator was installed by Otis in a five-story New York department store. The 1984 Lousiana World Exposition held in New Orleans is the only fair to declare bankruptcy during its term of operation. Its poor attendance was blamed partly on the 1984 Summer Olympics being held in Los Angeles, and the recent opening of Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center in Orlando.

COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION Held in Chicago, the 1893 World’s Fair was officially known as the World’s Columbian Exposition, which commemorated 400 years since the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus to the Americas.

PIANO LESSONS

I love ABC’s new series “Blood and Oil.” The actor who plays Don Johnson’s son in the drama looks familiar. What else has he done? -- Eric P., Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Scott Michael Foster is the fellow you’re thinking of. The 30-year-old actor was a regular cast member on “Greek,” spent a season on “Californication” as Becca’s boyfriend who Hank couldn’t stand, was on “Once Upon a Time,” and “Chasing Life.” Now he plays Hap Briggs’ (Don Johnson) ne’er-do-well son, Wick, on the nighttime sudster. He recently wrapped on the feature film “My Dead Boyfriend,” which was directed by Anthony Edwards and also stars Heather Graham, John Corbett and Gina Gershon. Despite Scott Michael Foster the star power of Don Johnson, Amber Valletta and Chace Crawford, ABC recently announced that it has cut back its original order of “Blood and Oil” from 13 episodes to 10, which could mean that this first season of “Blood and Oil” very well might be its last if there isn’t a drastic upturn in its ratings. Look for season one to air its finale in December. *** I just found “Mike and Molly” on reruns, and I love the show. Please tell me it has not been canceled. If not, when will it return for a new season? -- Tony O. in Florida Photo credit: ABC/Fred Hayes

start shooting until spring 2016, we do have a TV special to tide us over. Called “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride,” Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reprise their roles of Sherlock and Watson, respectively, to bring us this 90-minute movie. It will premiere on Jan. 1, 2016, in both the U.S. and U.K. -- a first for this series, as the U.K. usually airs the series first -- at 9 p.m. ET, as well as online at pbs.org/masterpiece. *** Where has Chris Vance and his series “Transporter” gone? Will TNT air season three? If he is not involved with the series, what is he doing now? -- Laura B., via email

Q: A:

As of this writing, TNT has not announced whether “Transporter: The Series” will be back for a third season. However, if you need your Chris Vance fix now, he has a recurring role on CBS’s “Supergirl” as the villain Non. His first appearance is in episode eight, which airs Dec. 14.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Maximizing Strategies: Going, Going... Gone! Congress and the president finally listened to me. With the budget bill agreement they reached a week or so ago, they killed the so-called Social Security maximizing strategies. And I say: good riddance! We will finally be getting Social Security back to its intended purpose: a social insurance system designed to provide a basic level of income that senior citizens can count on as a foundation upon which to build their own retirement portfolios. Instead, for the past dozen years or so, it had turned into an investment scheme that mostly more well-to-do seniors were using to reap unintended benefits from the system. And those strategies came at great cost to taxpayers. It is estimated that the Social Security trust funds were being tapped for about $10 billion extra each year to cover the cost of all these additional loophole benefits. Let me be more precise about the demise of these maximizing strategies. One of them, called “file and suspend,” will die six months after the bill was signed -- in other words, around May 2016. The other, called “file and restrict,” will be on life support for four more years. The budget bill language says that “file and restrict” cannot be used by anyone turning 62 next year or later. But that means that folks who are 62 or older already can still employ the strategy once they turn 66. I will explain all of this in the rest of the column. This whole mess started in 2000, when Congress passed and President Clinton signed the Senior Citizens Freedom to Work Act. The intention of that law was to allow older people who were still working to claim their benefits at “full retirement age,” (meaning age 66 for most folks retiring in the past decade or so). Prior to 2000, working seniors had to wait until age 70 to claim their Social Security benefits. And that same bill introduced the concept of “voluntary suspension” of benefits. The intent of that law was to let seniors suspend their benefits once they reached full retirement age and earn a “delayed retirement bonus” until age 70. That bonus is two thirds of one percent for each month benefits are delayed. So if a person waits until age 70 to actually claim benefits, he or she would get a 32 percent bonus added to his or her retirement check. (By the way, the recently passed budget bill does NOT eliminate this bonus strategy.) But after a while, folks analyzing that 2000 law figured out that the voluntary suspension rules would allow someone to suspend their benefits for other reasons; the primary one became one for working seniors to allow their spouses (and in some cases, even children) to claim benefits while their own benefits were in suspense. This became known as the “file and suspend” strategy. In a nutshell, the new law says that if the primary wage earner’s Social Security benefits are in suspense, then all other benefits payable on that record must also be in suspense. And this takes Social Security back to its roots. Until the 2000 Freedom to Work Act loopholes opened up, the law had always assumed that if seniors were still working, they were supporting their dependents, and not relying on the taxpayer (via extra Social Security spousal and children’s benefits) to do so. It also looks like the new law is eliminating the other reason people employed the “file and suspend” strategy. The old rules allowed folks to claim full retroactive benefits if they filed (and suspended) at age 66 and then decided to “unsuspend” before

ANSWER: A teratoma is a type of tumor of germ cells -- the cells that become eggs or sperm. They can occur within the testis or ovary, but also can occur outside the gonads. When they do, they usually are found in the midline of the body. A frequent place is the anterior superior mediastinum, in between the lungs and below the breastbone. Teratomas usually are benign tumors, but some types can act like cancers. Your tumor is unlikely to have been there since birth. Nobody knows whether the germ cell that became a teratoma properly went into the gonads during development, or whether the cell left the gonad and then became a tumor. It is clear, however, that men with teratoma outside the gonads are at higher risk for developing testicular cancer later on. Teratomas, being derived from germ cells, are capable of creating any tissue. Teeth and hair are sometimes found inside teratomas. I am very surprised you haven’t been recommended for surgical removal. Surgery is usually successful at curing teratoma. They certainly can grow, and occasionally become very large. I would certainly recommend seeing an oncologist (cancer specialist). Thoracic (chest) surgeons operate on this area. It may be that the position is difficult, but a surgeon should still evaluate you, in my opinion. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: How is it that, at

How to Guard Against Deadly Aortic Aneurysms

by Freddy Groves

The best way to detect an AAA is to get a simple, painless, 10-minute ultrasound screening test. All men over age 65 that have ever smoked, and anyone over 60 with a first-degree relative (father, mother or sibling) who has had an AAA should talk to their doctor getting screened.

Enclosed is a photo of a Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar that belonged to my mother-in-law. My husband remembers her having it during his childhood in the 1950s and 1960s, but I am not sure of the actual age. Riding Hood’s eyes are blue; her apron is decorated with gold star shapes; and the flowers on her dress are red and gold. She stands 13 inches tall and she is in mint condition. Marked on the bottom are the words “Hull Ware -- Little Red Riding Hood -- Patent Applied for -- USA -- 967.” Is this a genuine Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar, or is it a copy? What is it worth?

Hull Pottery made your Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar. They were founded in Crooksville, Ohio, in 1905. They made the Little Red Riding Hood blanks and then they were decorated by Royal China and Novelty Co., which was owned by Regal China in Ohio. After the decorations Hull Pottery began making Little were completed, Red Riding Hood cookie jars in 1905. the jars were distributed by Hull. Louise Bauer designed the cookie jar in 1943. The flowers on yours are primroses. There have been a plethora of fakes and copies. Yours is authentic. Your cookie jar was made in the late 1940s and would probably be worth $125 to $175.

WE SELL RECONDITIONED AND USED CARTS

Coordinating the swing to be balanced, rhythmic, and effortless will be a constant battle for any golfer over their career. It doesn’t take long to lose the swing’s internal timing, especially when playing competitively or in adverse conditions (under pressure). Typically, the body movements get rushed and the arms don’t have time to make their normal, full movements. Your swing can be said to be “out of sync”. One of the best reminders of rhythm and timing is a drill requiring the swing of two separate clubs in each hand. Typically players will use mid irons to perform this drill. Trying to slowly swing two clubs at once will force your arms and body to take a little extra time and coordination so the clubs don’t crash along the way. As you gain confidence with this drill, try swinging them faster until you’re at 60-75% of normal effort or speed. Try hitting balls directly afterward while performing a similar effort level, rhythm, and balance.
