Q

by K Tidbits of Coachella Valley

Week of April 14, 2013

DIAMONDS (from page one) placed blow of a hammer. And if a diamond is placed in an oven at a temperature of 1405° F (763° C), it will disappear without leaving so much as an ash behind.

• On average, about 250 tons of earth must be mined to produce a single one-carat diamond, which accounts for some of the high cost of the gems. Over 130,000,000 carats of diamonds, some 57,000 lbs. of them, are mined every year, at a value of about $9 billion.

• Of all the diamonds to be found on Earth, only 20% of them are suitable for jewelry. The majority of diamonds are used for industrial drilling, grinding, cutting, and polishing tools.

Diamonds are embedded into drill bits for drilling oil and gas wells through thousands of feet of rock.

DR. JOYCE BROTHERS (from page 2) New York station, but one that had nothing to do with sports. The producers gave her the chance to use the professional skills she had acquired pursuing her doctors degree -- psychology.

By Samantha Weaver

• The show format allowed her to field random questions from the audience and offer her professional advice on relationships, raising children, and other life issues.

● It was pioneering British director of suspense films Alfred Hitchcock who made the following sage observation: “The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.”

• The show was an immediate success. Soon she was receiving well over 1,000 letters every week and had to hire a staff just to handle and sort through the mountains of mail. Thousands of grateful viewers expressed gratitude for the content of her show, praising her for providing needed information and advice that they were unable to get anywhere else.

● If you’re an arachnophobe, you probably don’t want to know that a tarantula can live for up to two years without eating a single thing. ● If you’re like the average American man with a job, you spend 8 minutes per day cooking. If you’re like the average American woman who works, you spend 50 minutes a day preparing meals.

• Seeing the enormous interest of her fast- growing following, the producers were quick to recognize that her program was network quality, and the show soon went into national syndication. A late-night show dealing with more “adult” issues was added to her schedule, followed again by another live network call-in radio program.

● There are four times more astrologers than astronomers in the United States. ● You may not think it significant that in 1921, Earle Dickson’s wife had a tendency to injure herself while working in the kitchen.

He kept bandaging her wounds with gauze and adhesive tape, but the bandages always seemed to be slipping off. Finally, in exasperation, he put a small piece of gauze in the center of a piece of adhesive tape, which worked beautifully. None of this would have made any difference to us today, except that Dickson was an employee of Johnson & Johnson. He took some samples of his invention into work, where the owner, James Johnson, loved the idea. The BandAid went into production shortly thereafter.

12:NOO

• She appeared as a celebrity guest on numerous network TV talk shows, along with many cameo appearances on sitcoms and dramas. She is rightly said to be “The Founding Mother who invented media psychology.”

LIBRARIES Happy National Library Week!

Since 1958, we’ve observed this tribute established by the American Library Association. Here are some “book bits” for readers to chew on during this commemorative week, observed by bookworms nationwide.

• The word “library” has its origins in the Latin word liber, meaning “book.” Humans have long recognized the need for an organized archive of history. The earliest libraries dating back to 2600 BC included papyrus scrolls and clay tablets written in cuneiform script. There was even a library classification system as early as 700 BC. • As French settlers made their way to North America in the 1500s, they brought their personal book collections with them. The first non-personal library was established in Quebec City in 1635 at the Jesuit College. Three years later, clergyman John Harvard bequeathed his 400-volume library and half of his estate to the College at New Towne. The college was renamed Harvard College in his honor, and the library’s meager beginnings have grown into the largest academic library and third largest library overall in the United States, with close to 17 million volumes.

• In the 17th and 18th centuries, as the quantity of books increased with the advent of printing, there was a considerable increase in the interest of libraries. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin introduced the idea of a “subscription library,” one that shared books among members of a literary society. People could join by purchasing “stock” in the organization, and books were loaned out to members only.

• The Bodleian Library, the main research center for the University of Oxford, was established in 1602. By 1914, the total number of books in its collections had already passed the one million mark.

• America’s first actual public library was the Boston Public Library which opened its doors in 1854. Today it’s the second largest library in the U.S., second only to the U.S. Library of Congress.

• Established in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation’s largest library. Originally housed in the Capitol building, its 30,000 volumes were completely destroyed in August, 1814 when British troops set fire to the Capitol during the War of 1812. Former president Thomas Jefferson immediately offered his personal library of 6,487 books (which he had spent 50 years collecting) for sale as a replacement, and Congress appropriated $23,950 for the purchase.

• Educator and Columbia University librarian Melvil Dewey copyrighted his decimal classification system for books in 1876, a system still used by most libraries. Each category, for example “Philosophy and Psychology,” is assigned a number, which is then divided into subcategories in increments of 10.

• Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie gave millions of dollars to fund more than 2,500 libraries in 47 U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the West Indies. Carnegie required that the local communities provide the land and a budget for its operation. At the time of his death, Carnegie had already donated $351 million of his fortune – which translates to $4.8 billion in today’s money.

• There are close to 122,000 public and academic libraries in America, with about 8% of that number public libraries. Nearly 170 million Americans are registered borrowers, and they make about 1.6 billion trips to the library each year. □

Michael Vick wrote a book. It’s called “Finally Free.” I haven’t read it, but I can only assume the title is self-referential and not a nod to the dogs who escaped -- dead or alive -- the hell that was his Bad Newz Kennels dogfighting operation.

In 2007, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring. He received the longest of the sentences doled out in that case because of his “less than truthful” statements about killing dogs.

Vick lied when taking a polygraph and throughout the trial attempted to distance himself from the dirty work of torturing animals. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said at the time of sentencing, “I’m not convinced you’ve fully accepted responsibility.” Prosecutor Michael Gill put it bluntly: “He was in this thing up to his neck with the other defendants.” And the judge wasn’t buying it either, declaring, “You were instrumental in promoting, funding and facilitating this cruel and inhumane sporting activity.”

Obviously, I’m not a Vick fan.

But a lot of people are -- most of them in Philadelphia, where Vick has spent his time since his release in 2009 throwing passes and scoring touchdowns for the Eagles.

And a lot of people aren’t.

Earlier this month, Vick was scheduled to sign copies of his new memoir at Barnes and Noble bookstores in Atlanta, Philadelphia and New Jersey.

All signings were canceled due to threats against Vick and store employees.

Violence begets violence.

If forgiveness is as Desmond Tutu describes Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning. -- then Michael Vick is forgiven.

Since his release from prison, Vick has gained the support of the Eagles, the NFL, the City of Brotherly Love, his family, his publisher and even Humane Society of the United States President Wayne Pacelle. He got his chance, his new beginning.

But forgiveness by society on behalf of a voiceless injured party is complicated. How do the parents of a murdered child forgive his killer? Who am I to forgive Hitler his sins against victims of the Holocaust? Is it a belittlement of the wound suffered by another or a lessening in value of the life that would have been -- or does it just feel like it?

Aging America Means Increase in Alzheimer’s As America grows older, the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease will increase significantly. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, the disease is currently the sixth leading cause of death, afflicting one in eight Americans and costing our healthcare system $200 billion annually.

The disease is slowly progressive, and in the early stages, it is no more than a mild disability.

While short-term memory may be lost, other intellectual functions are retained, and with protection and support from family members and the community, a person with the disease can have many years of productive, high-quality life. This requires making the diagnosis as soon as possible.

Sadly, too many patients receive no more than a pill as treatment; an accurate diagnosis is often not made and potentially treatable causes of dementia are missed. To assure the best quality of life, it is essential, if memory loss is suspected, that the patient be evaluated and treated by specialists who are skilled at making a diagnosis. A skilled team -- including neuropsychologists, social workers and pharmacists -- is needed to provide dayto-day care and education. Community resources are needed to assure the best possible quality of life for the patient and family members who bear the burden of caregiving, which gets progressively more difficult.

The initial step in care is an evaluation by a physician who performs a detailed history and examination and then develops a plan of care, the least important component of which is the prescription of medications currently approved to help treat Alzheimer’s and other conditions leading to memory loss.

The first step is to determine if the patient does indeed have significant loss of intellectual function.

As people grow older, many experience difficulty remembering names, seem less astute at math and become concerned that their memory is failing.

Unless the patient has an impaired ability to function in the community (work, shop, manage finances) or interact with others, the problem is nothing more than benign forgetfulness. Memory loss is likely if the patient repeats himself frequently, gets lost while driving and forgets appointments.

Usually talking to the patient and family members will strongly suggest a problem. This is confirmed by screening memory testing and more extensive testing of every aspect of intellectual function by a trained neuropsychologist.

Once memory loss has been identified, an accurate diagnosis must be made. While Alzheimer’s is the most common cause, other diseases, some of which are correctable, also affect memory. In addition to memory testing, blood tests and imaging studies of the brain are frequently required.

Memory loss can be caused by mini strokes and other degenerative diseases of the brain. In 12 percent of cases, a potentially correctable cause is identified. These include depression, vitamin B-12 deficiency, elevations in serum calcium and a condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus. In this disease, swelling of the brain results in memory loss, problems with gait and balance and loss of bowel and bladder continence. This diagnosis should never be missed, as surgery often leads to cure.

Once Alzheimer’s has been diagnosed, every coexisting medical problem must be treated relentlessly, as they all can make symptoms worse.

Examples include depression, high blood pressure and diabetes.

An assessment of the health and welfare of the caregiver is essential. Most are stressed, prone to

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9)

And can you truly forgive someone without fully realizing the nature of their crime?

FREE

“Finally Free” isn’t the only source of writings on Michael Vick. Through September 2013, the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, D.C., is hosting an ASPCA exhibit of the artifacts of dogfighting: www.crimemuseum. org/Dog_Fighting. The exhibit features evidence seized by the ASPCA during dogfighting raids, as well as tools used by forensic scientists to determine how these animals suffered and died. Included also are Vick’s indictment papers, which shed light on the details of the dogs he fought and those he killed.

“Finally Free” might be a worthwhile read.

But I doubt it’s a full account.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Two Rules I Can’t Figure Out

I am usually pretty good at explaining Social Security laws and regulations. And just as importantly, I can provide the rationale behind various rules.

In other words, I can tell you what purpose a certain policy serves or why Congress wrote a particular Social Security law the way they did.

But there are two Social Security rules I simply can’t wrap my head around.

The first has to do with wives and widows getting to share -- or not share -- in any delayed retirement bonus earned by their husbands. (It also applies to husbands or widowers getting benefits from a wife, but 98 percent of the time it’s the other way around.) A retiree will get a two-thirds of one percent bonus for each month he delays starting his Social Security checks after age 66. That comes out to a maximum 32 percent bonus if he waits until age 70 to file for Social Security.

But if he has a wife eligible for spousal benefits on his record, she only gets a portion of his age 66 rate, not his age 70 payment. Her portion would be anywhere from about a third to a half of that age 66 rate, depending on when she started taking benefits.

However, here’s the twist: If he dies, her widow’s rate will be based on his age 70 benefit. And assuming she is 66 or older when her husband dies, she will get 100 percent of this full benefit, with the delayed retirement bonus. In other words, a wife doesn’t share in the bonus, but a widow does.

And I simply cannot figure out why the rules work that way. One former Social Security colleague guesses that spouses were never meant to get the bonus, but that widow’s benefits are strictly an inheritance. In other words, she just “inherits” what he was getting. Frankly, I don’t like that answer. But I can’t think of any other reason.

The second policy I can’t explain also has to do with benefits paid to spouses. Social Security law has always defined a spouse as someone who is financially dependent on the other spouse. In other words, you can’t get benefits on your husband’s or wife’s Social Security record unless you were dependent on your spouse’s income while he or she was working.

In order to keep things simple and keep couples from having to provide all kinds of financial data to support a claim of dependency, the law simply says that if your own Social Security benefit (or any other non-Social Security retirement benefit) is less than whatever percentage of your spouse’s benefit you are claiming, then you can be deemed dependent on that spouse.

Here are some quick examples. Frank, age 66, has worked all his life. His Social Security benefit is $2,000 per month. His wife, Amy, also age 66,

spent most of her career as a homemaker, but she did work a little bit outside the home. Her monthly Social Security retirement check is $600. Because Amy’s benefit is so much less than her husband’s, she is deemed dependent and she can collect a wife’s benefit on his record. She would get her own $600 check and get a $400 wife’s benefit to take her up to the spousal rate of 50 percent of Frank’s Social Security benefit.

Now let’s change the story a bit and say that Amy worked outside the home more than in the first example, and that by doing so, she earned her own retirement benefit of $1,200 per month. Because her own Social Security benefit ($1,200) exceeds the 50 percent portion of Frank’s rate ($1,000), she cannot be deemed dependent on Frank so she won’t get any supplemental benefits as a wife. (She would get widow’s benefits when he dies, but that’s a story for another column.)

The point of these last couple paragraphs is to show that the law says a spouse must be financially dependent on the other spouse in order to claim benefits on his or her record.

But now here comes the twist I can’t explain.

Let’s go back to the first Frank and Amy example.

Frank was getting $2,000 per month and Amy was getting $600 per month. There is something called the restricted application rule that I have discussed many times in this column. That rule allows a person who is 66 or older to delay filing for retirement benefits until as late as age 70, but claim benefits on a spouse’s Social Security record in the meantime. In other words, at age 66, Frank could file for husband’s benefits on Amy’s Social Security account. (This is assuming Amy had filed for her retirement benefit already.) Frank would get half of Amy’s rate, or $300 per month. He would get those benefits until age 70, at which point he would cancel his husband’s benefits and file for his own retirement benefits, which would come with a 32 percent delayed retirement bonus. (By the way, the same scenario would work in the second example, too, except that Frank would get $600 in monthly husband’s benefits.)

I simply can’t explain why in the world the rules allow this to happen. Frank was certainly not the dependent spouse in these scenarios. So why does the law allow him to collect a “dependent” husband’s benefit between ages 66 and 70?

This restricted application rule fell into place only after they raised the retirement age to 66. So I think this spouse-switch procedure might be an un-

intended loophole of the revised retirement age law.

And tens of thousands of new retirees are jumping through that loophole. But my guess is that Social Security planners and lawmakers will be looking to close it. And they would be justified in doing so because it simply does not coincide with the 80-yearold Social Security law that defines a spouse as a dependent.

Isn’t it time for a change in your child’s education?

While all schools stress learning and intellectual development, the goal of Desert Chapel Christian School is to give students an education that goes beyond textbooks: We also place emphasis on individual attention, spiritual formation and the virtue of leading a responsible and ethical life.

At D.C.C.S, we provide a combination of faith and learning that is not present in public schools, all while stressing the importance of moral and social responsibility.

D.C.C.S. Students in all grade levels are able to participate in academically challenging studies and C.I.F. athletic programs in a safe learning environment.

Our fully accredited W.A.S.C. curriculum places emphasis on Christian values and biblical truth.

The cost of placing your child into this first-quality, wholesome learning environment may be more attainable than you expect.

Tuition fees may be determined on the basis of individual ability.PROOF ADVERTISING
