In the thousands of years we humans have had domain over this planet, the rest of the animal kingdom has had a keen awareness of the unique scent of man. Unfortunately, since humans are considerably more social than other species, we find this telltale perspiration scent among us to be, well... offensive. Follow along as Tidbits explains more about this physiological phenomenon and what modern science has done to alleviate our fears of social rejection.

DEODORANTS (from page one) chloride, which has a negative charge, as the active ingredient. The negatively charged aluminum “pushes” the sweat back into the body, much like the two negative ends of magnets repel each other. The sweat is reabsorbed by the body and the skin stays dry. Their antiperspirant formula actually worked. • Deodorizing the armpit area was another challenge. Repugnant as it may sound, our armpits, which are warm and moist, are an ideal breeding place for bacteria to form. While sweat itself is odorless, it is the ammonia waste products produced by the bacteria that causes the odor. Deodorants contain insecticides and bactericides that are effective in killing off the entire armpit colony -- at least temporarily. When the anti-microbial agents wear off the bacteria appears again, usually coming from the shirt or other parts of the body. • Our armpit hairs are designed to act like wicks, moving moisture away from the skin to help keep the skin dry. Dry skin is healthier than moist skin. However, hair adds plenty of extra surface area for skin bacteria to cling to. Shaving cuts that surface area down. • Mankind throughout history has worked to combat body odor. Early Egyptians applied perfumed oils to the armpit, and regularly removed their underarm hair. The Greeks and the Romans followed suit, but until the late 1800s the only remedy was washing or masking the odor with perfume and spices. • In 1888, a Philadelphia inventor stumbled on the fact that zinc prevents body odor. Zinc, like aluminum, prevents sweat from coming out of the pores, but it was decades before anyone understood why. He invented a zincbased cream called Mum, patented it, and sold it widely. Bristol-Myers later bought him

• There was a product breakthrough in 1919 with the unveiling of a brash new antiperspirant called Odo-Ro-No. Newspaper and magazine ads proudly boasted that the product banished “B.O.,” an abbreviation for “body odor.” The bold term was regarded by some in those days as flagrantly crude. Previously, such products had tastefully claimed that they kept a person “clean, sweet, and dainty.” To admit that people actually sweat, and to further suggest that sweat actually stunk, made for a shocking advertising claim. “Take the Armhole Odor Test!” challenged the ads, hinting at the catastrophic social embarassment that would surely ensue if one failed the test. Sales soared.

A model in an evening gown appeared on the cover of a Harper’s Bazaar magazine in 1915. The photo was considered scandalous for many reasons; she wasn’t wearing a corset, her skirts were above the ankle, and the back of the dress was low. But the most flagrant offense was that she was shown without any armpit hair. The Wilkenson Sword razor blade company came to their defense, fiercely pushing the idea of women’s underarm hair as unfeminine and unhealthy. They subsequently sold a lot of razor blades.

When I spoke with Elizabeth recently, she told me what a joy it is to play Elaine in “How to Live”: “There’s nothing ordinary about Elaine, and I love it. I don’t take ordinary roles. I sort of gravitate toward the odd ducks, and she’s definitely an odd duck. “Elaine is just filled with positive energy and life. And for her, Elizabeth Perkins the glass is always half-full. There’s always a positive outcome to everything, and she’s completely nuts. I’m having a ball. She doesn’t censor anything she feels or says.

looked at brain fibers that process pain. In veterans with Gulf War illness, those fibers never turn off. Pain is constant. The key here is that researchers (or doctors) can see the actual damage to the fibers with a machine that many hospitals have -- an MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. All that’s needed is special software called fMRI. Knowing that Gulf War illness is not psychological is not new. Studies have linked it to 1990-1991 exposure to sarin gas, pesticides, oilwell fires, smoke, petroleum, anti-nerve-gas pills and a whole array of vaccinations, including anthrax and botulinum toxoid. A partial list of illnesses tied to exposure: Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, muscle and joint pain, headache, memory problems and skin conditions. What’s been seen in the 250,000 veterans who were exposed is that the illness doesn’t go away. It gets worse as time goes on. Veterans who meet certain criteria can receive disability compensation, starting with a Gulf War Registry health exam. Enrollment in Department of Veterans Affairs health care is not required to get the free exam. Also available is the full range of VA health care. However, there is a time limit: Per the VA website, symptoms must be present for at least six months and have appeared during active duty -- or by Dec. 31, 2016. Call the VA Health Benefits Call Center at 1-877-222-8387 for more information.

We scoop, disinfect and remove yo Daisy is a 20-pound mutt, female, somewhere poop weekly for only $9.75 between 2 and 4 years old. We also have 6-year-old Labradoodle. We rescued Daisy from a reservoir near our house in December of 2011. She was on her last leg and has recovered nicely except for one thing: She’s overprotective when anyone or any dog enters the house or yard. If she knows the person or dog, she’s fine once she recognizes them. Otherwise, we can’t settle her down. I was watching our neighbor’s dog today, and Daisy was lying next to me. She started growling, and as the neighbor’s dog came closer, Daisy’s growl escalated. I told her to relax, but she started to attack the other dog. I grabbed her -- making sure she knew it was me -- and she turned on me and bit me. I responded in anger and approached her with that mindset, which made her even more aggressive toward me. I grabbed Daisy and my pistol and headed toward the woods, but I was just venting. I could never hurt an animal. But I am concerned that Daisy’s aggression will get worse as she gets older. I don’t know whether it’s hereditary or abuse, but I need to help her if possible. For a minute there, I thought we were heading for an “Old Yeller” ending -- minus the fateful rabies outbreak as justification. I called this guy to make sure he had talked himself down from the ledge. I asked him, “Have you killed her?” He told me no, she’s fine. “I was just so angry.” Some people reading this will be ready to meet at the town square, tar and feathers in hand. But the truth is, a lot of people get irrationally angry with their dogs when things don’t go their way. Why are we getting so angry? Why is it the dog’s fault that we don’t understand their behavior? Were it not for this man and his family, Daisy would not be alive. She was seriously injured, unable to walk and in grave danger of starving to death alone in a ditch. He rescued her, got her vital medical attention and nursed her back to health. And don’t think that’s not part of the problem. He did so much for her. Why won’t she just behave for him? As with children, so it is with dogs. It just doesn’t work that way. Daisy didn’t bite him because she’s ungrateful. She bit him because he inserted himself into an CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Disorders, Poor Habits Can Obstruct Good Sleep What I would not do for a good night’s sleep. For many years I felt perpetually fatigued, and as I reached my 60s, I never felt refreshed upon wakening. After progressively developing a middle-age spread, it dawned on me, one day, that perhaps I had sleep apnea. I saw my doctor and arranged to have my oxygen level measured during sleep. Called an “overnight pulse ox,” this simple screening test involves no more than placing a sensor on a finger that identifies reduction in blood oxygen levels caused when breathing ceases during sleep. Stopping breathing during sleep sets off alarm bells in the brain that cause partial awakening as your brain directs you to resume breathing. This greatly impairs the quality of sleep and leads to daytime drowsiness and fatigue. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, which is treated by sleeping while using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, which helps maintain normal breathing patterns. Untreated, sleep apnea contributes to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, difficult-to-treat high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and even memory loss. Two other common conditions affecting sleep are restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder. Restless leg syndrome presents with abnormal sensations in the legs and body when you lie down to sleep. Whether asleep or not, a strong urge to move occurs because of sensations that can feel like pins and needles, burning or snakes crawling up the legs. The cause is not clear; it is more common in patients with inadequate iron stores and can run in families. The diagnosis is suspected if the patient volunteers the rather typical symptoms. Therapy involves the use of medications that soothe and suppress sensory nerves; the most common brand names are Neurontin and Requip. Periodic limb movement disorder is a condition in which the legs and occasionally the arms move and jerk frequently during sleep. Unlike restless leg, there are no sensory changes, and because the movements occur only while sleeping, the disorder can go unrecognized for years. Occasionally a spouse will recognize leg movement during sleep. Daytime fatigue and sleepiness suggest the problem, which is definitively diagnosed by performing an overnight sleep study. Once the disorder is diagnosed, treatment involves the use of medications that are also used to treat Parkinson’s disease, including Sinemet and levodopa. Drugs including alcohol, over-the-counter medications and many prescription medications can affect sleep. Antidepressants cause insomnia, as do drugs used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Paradoxically, many sedatives, while putting you to sleep, may reduce sleep quality, resulting in a “hangover” headache and fatigue during the day. In older people, the use of Benadryl (the antihista-

Ideally, go to bed at the same time each night, avoid alarm clocks, spend sufficient time outdoors in sunlight (essential for normal body rhythms) and exercise in the morning instead of the night.

She didn’t willfully ignore his earlier request that she “relax.” She has no idea what “relax” means because he hasn’t trained her. In his 1969 book “The Godfather,” Mario Puzo wrote of the now legendary Don Corleone: “If a bolt of lightning hit a friend of his, the old man would take it personal.” For the Don, that philosophy fueled a strategy, one that allowed for no accidents, no misunderstandings, no unintentional slights -- which took all the stress out of deciding whether retaliation was appropriate. It was. Always. For those of us not in the mafia, living this way makes no sense. And it’s wildly out of place in dealing with our dogs. On that day, before the other dog and the pistol and after the other dog and the pistol, the story of Daisy and her knight was ongoing. He rescued her, he nursed her, he invited her to stay. Still to come: He deepened his insight into her behavior, he got her trained, and they lived happily ever after. Woof!

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Seniors Who Work Must Cough Up Social Security Payroll Taxes Q:

I am 68 years old and getting Social Security. I recently took a job and was shocked to learn they are taking Social Security taxes out of my paycheck. I thought once you are getting Social Security, you no longer have to pay taxes into the system. Am I right?

You’re wrong. Everyone who works (at a job covered by Social Security) must have Social Security payroll taxes deducted from his or her paycheck. And you pay those taxes whether you are 10 years old or 110 years old! A better question you might ask is this: Will those extra taxes I pay increase the amount of my Social Security check? The answer is “It depends.” To understand whether or not the earnings you have, and the taxes you pay, after you start getting Social Security will increase your benefits, you have to understand how Social Security retirement benefits are figured in the first place. Simply stated, your Social Security retirement benefit is based on your average monthly income, indexed for inflation, using a 35 year base of earnings. So, when you initially filed for Social Security, the Social Security Administration (SSA) looked at your entire earnings history. Then they adjusted each year of earnings for inflation. The inflation adjustment factor depends on your year of birth and varies from one year to the next. Here is just one example. Let’s say Mike was born in 1949. And let’s say that he made $7,000 in 1970. When figuring his Social Security benefit, SSA multiplied that $7,000 by an inflation adjustment factor of 6.58. In other words, instead of $7,000, they actually used $46,060 as his 1970 earnings when figuring his Social Security benefit. Because there are literally thousands of these inflation factors -- depending on your date of birth and the year in question -- I simply cannot list them here. SSA produces a pamphlet for each year of birth (for recent retirees) that lists these inflation factors. If you’re interested, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs and click on “Retirement.” Then find the publication labeled “Your Retirement Benefit -- How It Is Figured” for your year of birth. And now, back to our retirement calculation. After SSA indexes each year of earnings for inflation, they pull out your highest 35 years and add them up. Then they divide the total by 420 -- that’s the number of months in 35 years -- to get your average monthly inflation-adjusted income. Your Social Security benefit is a percentage of that amount. The percentage used depends on a variety of factors (explained in the publication referred to in the prior paragraph).

But for the purposes of this fact sheet, we don’t need to know the precise percentage. Suffice it to say that for most people, their Social Security retirement benefit represents roughly 40 percent of their average inflation-adjusted monthly income. So when you are working and paying Social Security taxes after you start receiving Social Security benefits, those additional taxes you are paying will increase your monthly Social Security check IF your current earnings increase your average monthly income. In other words, if your current annual income is higher than the lowest inflation adjusted year of earnings used in your most recent Social Security computation, SSA will drop out that low year, add in the new higher year, recalculate your average monthly income, and then refigure your Social Security benefit. Here is a quick example of what I mean. Let’s go back to Mike’s case cited above. Let’s say that the $7,000 he made in 1970 was the lowest year in his current Social Security computation. And let’s further say that he is still working and made $35,000 last year. Mike assumes that because $35,000 is much higher than $7,000, he should get an increase in his Social Security checks. But remember, SSA didn’t use $7,000 in his benefit calculation. They used the inflation-adjusted amount of $46,060. Because his current earnings of $35,000 are lower than the low year of $46,060 used in his Social Security retirement computation, the additional earnings do NOT increase his average monthly income, so his Social Security benefit will not be increased. On the other hand, had Mike made $70,000, for example, that would increase his benefit. SSA would replace this current low year of $46,060 with the new higher year of $70,000, recompute his average monthly wage and refigure his benefit. How much he will get depends entirely on Mike’s past earnings and his current income. Monthly benefit increases can be as little as about $5, or as much as $50 or more. But on average, a year of earnings will increase your Social Security benefit by about $20 to $30 per month. SSA has a software program that automatically tracks the earnings of working Social Security beneficiaries and refigures their benefits to see if any increase is due. It’s called the Automated Earnings Reappraisal Operation, or AERO. It generally happens between May and October of each year. In other words, IF you are getting Social Security benefits, and IF you are working, and IF your latest

earnings increase your average monthly wage and thus your Social Security benefit, you generally will see that increase by October of the following year. For example, you would get an increase for your 2012 earnings by October 2013. SSA sends you a notice indicating the increase in your monthly benefit, which is retroactive to January of the year you get the notice.

Are We Spoiling Our Granddaughter? Q:

Our 16-year-old granddaughter is our only grandchild, and we love her ver y much. However, we are becoming concerned about her relationship with her parents. Admittedly, we spoil her, which is causing her to come to us instead of her parents for advice. At home, she is obstinate, uncooperative and comes running to us when she feels she’s being treated unfairly. What are we to do?

Writing for publication with a byline is hard work that requires discipline. It can be lonely at times, especially when readers let you know you are wrong and why. Facing criticism becomes a challenge that can be discouraging if you let it get to you. A common practice is for writers to isolate themselves in order to concentrate and do research. They are not necessarily sociable. Unfortunately, writing for print publications doesn’t always pay well until you reach the big leagues, and then you’re competing with the internet for readers. Publishers are looking for well-known writers with proven success. Younger individuals look to the websites for socializing and gratification. Discuss the realities with your son, and encourage him to pursue a practical degree to support himself and possibly his family.

● On April 28, 1789, three weeks into a journey from Tahiti to the West Indies, the HMS Bounty is seized in a mutiny led by Fletcher Christian, the master’s mate. Captain William Bligh and 18 of his loyal supporters were set adrift in a small, open boat. Bligh and his men reached Timor in the East Indies in June, after a voyage of about 3,600 miles. ● On April 24, 1800, President John Adams approves legislation to appropriate $5,000 to establish the Library of Congress. The first library catalog, dated 1802, listed 964 volumes and nine maps. Twelve years later, the British army invaded the city of Washington and burned the Capitol, including the then 3,000-volume Library of Congress.

Shenango Pottery was sold to Anchor Hocking in 1979. “Dolly Madison” is the name of the pattern and was in production from 1952 to 1972. If you decide to sell your set, your options are placing it on eBay or placing an ad in a local paper. If you sell to an antiques dealer, you can expect to receive around half of its value. Your set would probably sell for $200 to $400. If you plan to keep it, insure it for the replacement value of $600 to $900.
