• Emily gave birth to her first son a year after her marriage, and to another in 1895. Her husband’s infidelity a few years later led to a highly publicized scandal involving chorus girls, young actresses, and blackmail. The couple divorced in 1905. Emily requested no alimony from Edwin, as he had recently lost nearly everything in a stock market crash. She felt he carried enough financial burden and social scorn, and had already suffered enough.

Because your body needs to have a certain amount of “good” bacteria in the digestive tract, lactic acid-producing bacteria such as acidophilus are added to the mix.

• Nomadic Bedouins process camel’s milk into drinkable yogurt, and often live on nothing else for six months. Although yogurt has probably been around for about 8,000 years, the wellknown Yoplait has only been existence for 49 of those. In 1964, a group of French dairy farmers agreed to merge in order to sell their goods nationwide. They linked the names of two of the farmers, Yola and Coplait to form their new brand Yoplait.

• The most important holiday of the Jewish calendar is Yom Kippur, which translates “Day of Atonement.” It’s a day set aside to repent from and atone for the sins of the past year. It occurs on the tenth day of the Jewish month of Tishri, which in 2013 will be September 14.

Yom Kippur is a day of fasting, and traditions include no eating or drinking, no bathing, and no wearing of leather shoes. It is also customary to wear white on this day as a symbol of purity, representing the promise that “our sins shall

Yo-Yo Facts

June 6 has been proclaimed Naitonal Yo-Yo-Day in commemoration of the birthday of yo-yo king Donald F. Duncan. Follow along and discover some facts you may not have known about this ancient but still favorite toy.

• The yo-yo is the second oldest known toy in the world (only the doll is older), and was born over 2,500 years ago in the days of ancient Greece. The first historical evidence of a yo-yo was found in Greece from the year 500 B.C., on a vase featuring a painting of a boy playing with the toy. A 1789 painting of France’s King Louis XVII, which hangs in the Louvre, shows the young monarch with a yo-yo as well.

• Donald Duncan’s entrepreneurial efforts were not just limited to the yo-yo. He is also credited with popularizing the parking meter and introducing Good Humor “ice cream on a stick.”

• Well-known yo-yo tricks include “sleeping,” which keeps a yo-yo spinning at the end of its uncoiled string. “Loop the loop” keeps the body of the yo-yo in constant motion without sleeping, while “walking the dog” involves throwing a strong sleeper, then gently allowing the yo-yo to tap against the floor, where it rolls forward like a dog on a leash.

• The official description of a yo-yo is “an axle connected to two disks, with a length of twine looped around the axle.”

• Before anybody called it “yo-yo” (meaning “come back” or “return” in the native language of the Philippines, Tagalog), it was popular in seventeenth- through nineteenth-century Europe under many names, including “quiz,” “l’emigrette,” “coblentz,” and “incroyable.”

It was called “disk” by the ancient Greeks.

Napoleon’s nemesis, the Duke of Wellington, was an accomplished yo-yo player. At that time, the yo-yo was known as a “bandalore.”

“We’ve worked together before, so we knew that working together again would be awesome,” she said. “He’s been on the set for the past couple of weeks, and it’s been absolutely great! It is exciting because we learn more about Raydor’s past. As we learn about her and how she deals with this personal relationship in her life, we get a much more revealing picture of the woman. The more I find out about her past, the more I understand her present.”

Mary promises an exciting season, telling me: “We are about to finish shooting episode No. 5, so we have a good sense of at least the beginning of the season, and I can tell you we’re pretty excited.

It’s fantastic. It’s new, and it’s interesting, and it’s complicated. I don’t want to give away too much, but let’s just say there’s a lot to be learned, and it’s been tremendous fun to shoot.”

by Rite Aid Pharmacy; it is not health insurance or in any way related to a Medicare drug plan. The company’s website states that this plan is helpful for people who don’t have insurance or are underinsured. I have used Rite Aid Pharmacy for years to fill generic prescriptions, and not once did anyone mention that I could save with their discount program.

I am learning that Rite Aid is not the only pharmacy with a generic drug discount program.

Wal-Mart, Target, CVS and Walgreens, to name a few, advertise similar plans. I don’t know if they discount automatically or if customers must first inquire. Given my experience, however, I would suggest that you not assume you are getting the best price if you use these pharmacies for generic prescription drugs. Speak up. Inquire. Ask for a discount.

As for my next refill, I will not be returning to Rite Aid Pharmacy. In my research, I discovered Adthe Proof: that Costco Member Prescription Program offers a discount on all branded andFlying generic prescripJohn Cuddihy - Flags “A” tion medications over Costco’s already low prices.

In comic strips, country songs and Disney films, dogs and babies go together like Batman and Robin. In real time, where potential danger and acts of instinct and nature can’t be edited out, dogs and babies require constant supervision and should never be left alone in a room together.

In September 2009, in Jacksonville, N.C., a 12-week-old pit bull chewed the toes off the left foot of a 4-month-old infant as the child’s mother slept in the same room. Robie Lynn Jenkins had taken medication that induced a sleep deep enough to drown out her infant’s cries through the night. Jenkins’ boyfriend, Tremayne Spillman, was also asleep in the room. The couple claims they were watching the puppy as a favor to a friend who is in jail on gun charges. They now face charges of their own: felony child abuse.

Before everyone screams “pit bull,” a reminder:

Only a month earlier, in Lexington, Ky., the owners of a Native American Indian Dog spotted the family pup trotting toward the woods behind their back yard with their newborn infant in his jaws.

Four-day-old Alexander James Smith suffered two collapsed lungs, a skull fracture and numerous cuts ● and bruises.

A year before that, in Tulsa, Okla., a 6-weekold black Labrador fatally mauled 2-month-old Zane Alen Earles as he sat unattended in an infant swing in the family’s living room. Several relatives were home at the time.

In January 2008, 8-month-old Andrew Stein was inexplicably and fatally mauled by a 7-year-old chocolate Doberman pinscher, the Stein family pet from puppyhood, with no history of aggression.

And in 2001, a 4-pound Pomeranian killed a 6-week-old girl in Los Angeles as she lay in her crib.

Afterward, LA Sheriff’s Deputy Cruz Solis commented, “Obviously it doesn’t take much to kill a 6-week-old baby, but it’s not something that happens with that breed.”

Obviously, it is.

The point is, no dog, no matter how small, no matter how gentle, no matter how stable his temperament, no matter his perceived love of children, his intelligence, his experience, his playfulness or his affection for you, should ever be left alone in a room with a small child -- for even a second.

Cholesterol Figures Key to Choice of Treatment

Lowering cholesterol is highly effective in lowering heart disease and stroke risk. Elevated cholesterol is an important risk factor in the development of heart disease. When measuring cholesterol in the blood, we not only assess total levels of this waxy, fat-like substance but also the low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), cholesterol and triglycerides.

The most important risk factor for heart disease is having high LDL and low HDL cholesterol.

Total cholesterol of greater than 200 and an LDL greater than 130 are the upper limits of “normal.”

The best measure of heart disease risk is the ratio of the LDL divided by the HDL. A value greater than 5 is cause for great concern.

In assessing the need for treatment, these measurements are more important than your total cholesterol. For example, someone with a total cholesterol reading of 240 (that would be considered quite high) but who has an HDL of 100 and an LDL of 110 is considered to be at low risk, and treatment is not warranted.

The first approach to lowering cholesterol is diet and exercise. A diet high in fiber and rich in omega-3 fatty acids and the monounsaturated fats found in olive and canola oil, fish, nuts and certain vegetables can significantly reduce cholesterol levels. Add to this appropriate weight loss and exercise, and risk of vascular disease can be reduced dramatically.

For most people with abnormal cholesterol, diet and exercise alone are inadequate to reach target levels.

For those who have no vascular disease, the target LDL should be less than 100 and the LDL-to-HDL ratio less than 3. For those who have a history of heart disease or stroke, a target LDL should be less than 70, and the ratio should be as low as possible. Unless there is a major contraindication, their initial treatment should include a generic statin (such as pravastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin), most of which cost less than $12 for a three-month supply. And recently Lipitor (atorvastatin), the most popular statin, has become available as a generic drug.

Most patients tolerate statins, which means they can take these drugs without damaging side effects, and with dose adjustment, most people are able to achieve their target levels for cholesterol. A survey of 27 studies published in the journal Lancet showed that statin treatment in normal individuals with moderately elevated cholesterol significantly

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Q:

I am a married 64-year-old woman.

I started getting my Social Security at age 62.

I was told at the time that I was not eligible for any of my husband’s Social Security. But we were just on a cruise and an older woman told me that she took retirement benefits at 62 and was also able to get half of her husband’s Social Security. Why don’t I get half of my husband’s benefits?

A:

First of all, don’t believe most things you hear about Social Security from senior citizens on cruise ships. I’ve been on more than a few cruises, and I’ve heard so many old folks spreading false tales about Social Security. (I usually don’t let on that I am a Social Security expert until after I hear their fanciful fables. Then I try to set them straight, but they frequently don’t believe me!)

I can guarantee you that your fellow cruise passenger did not get her own reduced retirement benefit AND half of her husband’s Social Security, as she apparently told you. A woman can get her own benefit SUPPLEMENTED up to a percentage of her husband’s rate, but she doesn’t get both benefits.

In other words, you are potentially due a percentage of your husband’s Social Security, to the extent that it exceeds your own benefit. But what the percentage is depends on when you and your spouse filed for Social Security. If he was getting Social Security when you turned 62 and filed for your own benefits, then you are only eligible to have your payment supplemented up to about 30 percent of his.

But if he filed for benefits later, the percentage you get depends on how old you were when he filed. If, for example, you were 64 when he filed, then you might be due up to about 40 percent or so. Had you been 66 or older when he filed, your benefit could have been supplemented up to half of his rate.

My guess is that like most working women, you won’t get any of your husband’s Social Security until he dies (because the widow’s supplement is up to 100 percent). The only way you will know for sure is to contact your local Social Security office.

One final point: Had you waited until 66 to file, you would have had other options. For example, you could have taken just a 50 percent spousal benefit until age 70, at which point you could switch to your own retirement rate and get a delayed retirement filing bonus. That procedure, called the restricted application policy, is a topic I’ve discussed many times in past columns. * * *

Q.

I just came back from a cruise through the Caribbean. Each night, I sat at a dinner table with a group of older widows like myself. As you might guess, Social Security was a frequent topic. One woman said she was getting full widow’s benefits and full retirement benefits. No one else was getting that.

Another woman said she was receiving a state retirement pension and couldn’t get any of her For more teasers log on to www.TriviaGuy.com

You read it in...

Obviously, I don’t know any of the facts about each of your tablemate’s Social Security affairs other than what you told me. But here are my guesses.

The first woman was either telling a big fib, or she really didn’t know what she was getting from Social Security. The second woman was a retired teacher. The third woman was divorced and was probably talking about death benefits from her ex-husband. And finally, my hunch is your husband died when you were in your early 60s, while the other women lost their husbands later in life. Now let me go over each of these situations one by one.

The first woman simply didn’t know what she was talking about. No one can get two full Social Security benefits. My hunch is that she was getting her own retirement benefit when her husband died (probably sometime after she was 66 years old).

Then her own Social Security check would have been supplemented up to whatever her husband was getting at the time he died.

I’m guessing the second woman was a teacher who taught in a state where educators do not pay into the Social Security system. Just as a Social Security retirement benefit offsets any potential widow’s benefits, a teacher’s retirement pension also offsets any widow’s benefits she might be due from her husband’s Social Security record. Actually, teachers are given a bit of a break. While an entire Social Security retirement pension is used to offset any widow’s benefits; only two-thirds of a teacher’s pension is applied as an offset.

The third woman said she didn’t get the death benefit from her husband’s account when he died. I’m guessing they were separated or divorced or otherwise living apart; because the rules say the one time death payment can be doled out only to a spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death.

And that leaves you. A woman who has

Q:

ANTIQUE -- OR -JUNQUE

by Anne McCollam Creators News Service

Antique Buffet Fit for a Continental Breakfast Q:

My husband purchased this antique buffet seen in this photo. He found it at a moving sale in Texas about six years ago and paid $100 for it. It is over seven feet long and is decorated with car vings of medieval figures and has large bun-shaped feet. Someone who saw it said his parents had one ver y similar to it, and he thought it was made in Europe, possibly Germany. He then offered my husband $800 for it, which he turned down because we wanted to keep it.

Can you tell where you think it is from, about how old it is and its value? Any information you can furnish would be greatly appreciated.

I have enclosed the mark that is on the bottom of a covered water pitcher that I have. The pitcher was my grandmother’s, and I remember she always kept it in her refrigerator.

It is decorated on both sides with orange cattails against a cream colored background. The cork lining on the stopper is in good condition and the pitcher has a round shape and stands about seven inches tall.

What can you tell me about the maker, age and value of my water pitcher?

Cattail pattern was made for Sears Roebuck and Company.

A:

Universal Potteries Inc. made your semi-porcelain water pitcher. The round shape was inspired by Art Deco designs. They made semi-porcelain kitchenware and dinnerware and were located in Cambridge, Ohio, from 1934 to 1976. The “Cattail” pattern was made for Sears, Roebuck and Company in the 1930s and 1940s. The design is a decal rather than hand painted. The pattern was used on a plethora of dishes that included water pitchers, butter dishes, platters, bowls, salt and peppershakers, cups and saucers. The popular pattern can also be found on table linens, glassware and tinware.

Your water pitcher can be found selling in antiques shops in the range of $50 to $75.

Answer

The Mantle of History

History is written by the winners.

President Harry Truman, the guy who dropped the big ones on Japan to end World War II, was a big fan of the expression. Years after his presidency, he was offered a “Frost/Nixon” sort of deal that would have had him visit Japan to meet the newly installed government. Truman had the gumption to fire the legendary Gen. Douglas MacArthur, but many still were surprised to learn that he agreed to go -- with one specific caveat: “I’m not going to kiss anyone’s ass.”

Though he left office with one of the lowest approval ratings ever, Truman’s legacy has withstood the test of time, and he is now generally considered one of our greatest presidents.

Some 60 years later, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was running a disastrous campaign for president. A few years earlier, when America was sucker-punched on 9/11, Giuliani took the mantle as “America’s mayor” and offered some semblance of calm under fire. Before that career turn, he was putting away the mob as a U.S. attorney.

Now, Giuliani has picked up another mantle -- Mickey Mantle’s, to be precise -- and once again, another historic figure and hero to many, another person who figures large in the record books and looms large in our minds, is being subjected to the firing line.

Almost two decades after his death and half a century after he hobbled off the field at Yankee Stadium for the last time, a two-bit auction house is claiming to sell an authentic bat of his.

That would not be spectacular in and of itself, but this item is different, the auctioneers proclaim. For the bat in question has been X-rayed, and it has been deemed to be tampered with ... corked.

Corking a bat is a tactic many sluggers have employed, in much the same way that pitchers use sweat and rosin to manipulate the movement of the ball. Essentially, the top part of a bat is removed, the barrel drilled out, replaced by cork sprig and capped with the same piece of wood to disguise the ploy. Corking a bat gives a hitter maximum surface, but shaves off a few ounces in weight, allowing for a rapid swing.

The Mantle family is not amused. They have decided that they are not going to let Mickey Mantle -- a man who wasn’t allowed inside his house at night until he hit 10 straight balls off his surly father who had spent all day mining coal in Oklahoma -- be rewritten as a loser or a cheater.

And the guy they hired to make sure of that? Rudy Giuliani.

For the record, Truman never made the trip to Japan. One assumes there was too much downside for the ex-president and no need to assist his detractors in their attempts to rewrite history.

Lifelong Yankee fan Giuliani, however, is going to be swinging away in court within weeks.

Let the games begin.

WARNING: Reading Tidbits is habit forming

Practice is critical in order to see improvement in your golf game or to maintain a golf game that is at a level that you are happy with.

But unless you are practicing efficiently, your results will be slow and disappointing. I see many golfers get to the golf course early and practice certain elements of their games that they think they need to work on, but once they get out onto the golf course they find that they are struggling with a cmpletely different element of their game.

To better manage your time and the effectiveness of your practice sessions, practice after your round of golf instead of before. Of course, it’s still a good idea to warm up, but just enough to get loose and have a feel for what kind of shot you showed up with that day.

Don’t try to overhaul your swing before you hit the first tee box.

Take detailed notes of how you played each hole land then look for a pattern. If you notice you’ve missed a lot of fairways, hit the practice tee after your round and hit a bucket of balls with your driver. If you had a lot of 3-putts because of lack of distance control, head to the practice putting green and work on your feel.

Not only will you be working on the area of your game that needs the most improvement, but you are building your confidence for your next round of golf.
