SOME FACTS ABOUT CAFFEINE

• Caffeine is found naturally not only in coffee and tea but also in about 100 other plants. We consume it for its taste and as a stimulant, but did you know that caffeine also acts as a natural insecticide? While essentialy harmless to humans, certain properties in caffein can kill insects, stunt their growth, impair their coordination and arrest their ability to reproduce. • A typical cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 mg of caffeine, while the same size cup of espresso delivers about 250 mg of the stimulant -which is why espresso is served in such tiny cups. Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than drip coffee. Decaffeinated coffee does not mean COFFEE: Turn to page 3

• Upon Horton’s death, Ron Joyce bought out the Horton family’s shares for $1 million and took over as sole owner of the existing chain of 40 stores. By 1991, Joyce had opened the 500th outlet. Tim Hortons franchises spread rapidly and eventually overtook McDonald’s as Canada’s largest food service operator. The rapid expansion of the chain drove many independent donut shops out of business, while Canada’s percapita ratio of donut shops surpassed those of all other countries.

Coffee (from page one) the coffee is completely caffeine-free. Brewed decaf still contains about 5 mg of caffeine. • The average cup of truck stop coffee will usually contain more caffeine than an expensive cup of designer coffee. That’s because the cheaper robusta beans are higher in caffeine than the more expensive arabica beans that are used in the high-end specialty coffees. • Methylene chloride is the chemical used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The chemical is poisonous when inhaled, but because it evaporates at 120°F (49°C), it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°F. (204°C). Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°F. (93°C) • It’s no surprise that coffee increases alertness and enhances performance on certain tasks. Tests that require fast reaction time, such as for race car drivers, fighter pilots and typists, prove that two cups of coffee can markedly improve performance. However, the caffeine only boosts intellectual speed and not physical power. Furthermore, coffee seems to help extroverts moreso than introverts. There’s also a placebo effect. Studies show that people respond more to the caffeine they believe they’ve consumed than they do to the amount of caffeine they’ve actually been given. • Coffee is addictive in the sense that there is a

● Pretty much everyone has seen shellac on a piece of furniture or perhaps a guitar -- it’s used to give wood that rich shine. You might be surprised to learn that shellac is derived from a substance that is excreted by a tiny red insect found almost exclusively in the forests of Thailand. You might be even more surprised to learn that shellac isn’t just found on wood; the next time you eat jelly beans or take a bite of a bright-red apple you bought in a grocery store, you can thank the Kerria lacca insect for that lovely shine. ● American novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs was the oldest war correspondent of World War II, flying with the 7th Air Force on bombing runs in the Pacific at the age of 66. ● Otters float while they sleep, and in order to keep from floating away from each other while dozing, they hold hands. ● It’s been reported that on his deathbed, noted French Enlightenment figure Voltaire was enjoined by a priest to renounce Satan.

Week of November 23, 2014

Coffee Breakthroughs • Ludwig Roselius’ father was a professional coffee taster in Germany in the 1800s, but his father died young and Ludwig believed that his death was due to ingesting too much caffeine. At the time, the process of decaffeinating coffee caused it to lose most of its flavor, so it was an unpopular version of the drink. • Ludwig opened a coffee business of his own, and in 1903 a ship filled with coffee beans destined for his store flooded and the entire load was soaked with seawater. Ludwig gave this ruined coffee to his researchers, telling them to experiment with decaffeination anyway. Surprisingly, they found that the soaked beans were easy to decaffeinate. The key, they discovered, was to raise the moisture content of the beans before subjecting them to the chemical process. • Ludwig patented the process and moved to America in 1914, setting up a coffee trading company called Kaffe-HAG, with HAG being an acronym for the German words meaning Coffee Trading Company. When World War I began, his business was seized under the U.S. Alien Property Custodian Act and handed over to Americans. Ludwig lost everything, including the trademarked name of his coffee. • He set up a new business, marketing his decaffeinated coffee in Europe until the war ended. He needed a new name for his coffee so he chose a contraction of the French words ‘sans caffeine’ meaning ‘without caffeine.’ • He returned to America in 1923 and established a new business, which became so successful that General Foods bought him out nine years later.

For the Love of Dog, Be the Pig

The best places to shop are those with the most lenient return policies. Nothing sets the alarm bells off We scoop, disinfect and remove yo like an “all sales are final” sign. “Store credit or exchange poop weekly for only $9.75 only” isn’t much better. But full permission to return a lamp that deeply offends my wife’s sensibilities means full discretion for me to take it home and give it a whirl. A dog is another story. A dog is not a lamp. If you’re going to get a dog, it should be for keeps. There’s a saying that the difference between involved and committed is like a ham and eggs breakfast: The chicken was involved; the pig was committed. If you’re going to get a dog, be the pig. Recently, a man called me for advice about a problem that’s not uncommon. The dog is causing a rift in my marriage, he said. He and his wife can’t have kids. She wanted a dog to fill that void. He went down to the local shelter and brought home a dog that looked a lot like their last dog. It didn’t take long for the couple to realize the similarities did not extend beyond the looks department. The dog is phobic, unruly, unsocialized, fearful and completely without training. The husband now contends that they bit off more than they can chew with this beast. The wife’s response? You don’t understand the power of love. Neither is quite right. Love is powerful, but it’s not an education. Its warm rays won’t radiate the ABC’s into your child’s brain. Nor will they weave a heart-shaped glossary of human terms like “sit,” “stay,” “heel,” “down” and “come” into your dog’s limited vocabulary. But how do you know that you’ve taken on more than you can handle if you haven’t made even the most basic attempt at gaining control of a situation? Yes, this tale got off on the wrong foot. There is no logic to bringing an unknown dog into your home to stay just because he looks like your former dog’s doppelganger. It makes as much sense as buying a used car over the phone. If they had it to do over, I’d advise them to first research breeds for one or two that are likely to suit their lifestyle in terms of space, time and energy. I’d suggest they prepare their home for a dog and agree on a training method. Then I’d tell them to visit a few different shelters, together, and spend time with several dogs. They’d administer the personality tests that determine CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Extra Day in Hospital Could Save Your Life Would you willingly stay in the hospital one more day to reduce your chances of being readmitted? A study by Columbus Business School shows that even one day longer in the hospital can reduce readmissions and costs -- and save lives -- when compared to outpatient care. The study focused on pneumonia, heart failure and myocardial infarctions in 6 million patients over the age of 65. That is a huge sampling, which makes their findings quite valid. Here are the stats for one extra day in the hospital: ◘ Mortality risk reduced by 7 percent for those who have had a heart attack; a 22 percent reduction for those who have been treated for pneumonia. ◘ Readmissions rate decreased by 7 percent for those with severe heart failure. ◘ The number of lives saved compared to using outpatient care increased from four to five hundred percent. ◘ When it comes to cost, an additional day in the hospital usually costs less than outpatient care that is the result of being released from the hospital too early. At this point, nearly 20 percent of Medicare patients end up being readmitted within a month. It makes sense for hospitals to try to keep readmis-

Week of November 23, 2014

I took my Social Security when I turned 66 last December. I’m getting $2,400 per month. My husband is 64 and he took his smaller benefits at age 62. He’s getting about $1,000 monthly. I just learned at a Social Security maximizing seminar conducted by a local financial planner that I could have filed for wife’s benefits on my husband’s record at age 66, and delayed my benefits until 70 to get a bonus. Can I withdraw my original claim and turn around and apply for spousal benefits?

Well, yes you could, but do you really want to? Anyone has up to 12 months after filing an application for retirement benefits to change his or her mind. So because you filed your claim 11 months ago, you still have that option. But, you would have to repay all the benefits you’ve received so far. After you withdraw your claim and repay your benefits, you can then turn around and file for wife’s benefits on your husband’s account. So you would get about $700 per month until you turn age 70. (You get 50 percent of your husband’s age 66 rate, even though he took reduced benefits at 62.) At age 70, you would stop your wife’s claim and refile for your own Social Security, at which point you would

Introducing

My wife and I are both approaching age 62. I plan to file and suspend at age 62 so that my wife can take benefits on my Social Security record. Then when we reach age 66, I want my wife to file and restrict so that I can take benefits on her record while she employs the start-stop-start strategy. Then when we turn age 70, we will both take our own retirement benefits and get the 32 percent bonus. Can you tell me how we go about setting all of this up?

I think you’ve attended one too many Social Security maximizing seminars. You know all of the terms, but you seem to have no idea of how they work. First of all, you can NOT file and suspend at age 62. You can only employ that strategy (or any other maximizing strategy for that matter) once you reach age 66. At that point, you would normally file and suspend only if you wanted to let your wife claim benefits on your account while you keep your own benefits suspended until age 70, when you would then unsuspend them and get the delayed retirement bonus of 32 percent that you mentioned. I am not a financial planner, but here is one set of strategies you might want to consider. Your wife could file for reduced retirement now. Then at age 66, she could suspend her benefits (in order to get the 32 percent bonus if she starts them up again at age 70). That’s the start-stop-start strategy you mentioned. At the same time, you could file and restrict. That means you would file for husband’s benefits on your wife’s account. You could receive those benefits even though your wife’s claim is in suspense. You would get those spousal benefits until 70, when you could switch to 132 percent of your own retire-

Well, maybe I should just stop writing about the hundreds of various Social Security issues I’ve been dealing with for 40 years now and just focus this column on one thing only: maximizing your Social Security retirement benefits. The amount of email I get on the subject just boggles my mind. Three or four years ago, no one was talking about maximizing benefits. Today, easily 80 percent of the emails I get deal with this one topic alone. It seems as if everyone nearing retirement wants to squeeze every last nickel out of his or her Social Security account. And almost every email I get on the subject includes variations on this theme: “Social Security is too confusing!” Here is a typical question: “Why did Congress have to make the process of signing up for Social Security retirement benefits so complex?” To answer that, let me make this point. Signing up for Social Security retirement benefits is usually a piece of cake. It’s probably the simplest federal government program application process out there. For example, my wife and I each applied for our Social Security benefits at 62. We both did so online. The applications took maybe 15 minutes to fill out. Our claims were processed in about a week and our checks started flowing into our bank accounts the next month. It’s when you try to squeeze those nickels by employing various maximizing strategies that things get complicated. And folks are coming up with some very bizarre plans to gain what they think is a financial advantage on the system -- usually banking on the hope that they will live long enough to come out ahead in the Social Security game they are playing. Here are just some examples of the lengths people will go to beat the system:

Dinnerware Told A Story Q:

4 Million Readers Weekly Nationwide!

My question is about a wedding gift from my parents in 1956. They gave me a service for a 12-set of china. The set includes all the accessories. I have enclosed the mark that is on the back of each piece. Also included with the mark is the name “Dolly Madison.” The dishes are decorated fluted edges, a single pink rose in the center against a white background and bands of gold. All handles are trimmed in gold. The set is beautiful and was used only twice because of fear I would break a piece. I keep it on display in a dining room hutch. Anything you can tell me will be appreciated.
