â&#x20AC;˘ Although the idea of a bridge spanning the Golden Gate was not new, it was not until 1916 that plans began to take shape for the actual design of such a structure. The concept was met with great opposition from many sources, including the Union Pacific Railroad who owned the fleet of ferries. Another hindrance was the short supply of money as the nation was entering the years of the Great Depression.

NAMES IN SCIENCE

(from page one)

• French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur is best known for creating the method of pasteurization to keep milk and wine from spoiling, but did you know that he also discovered vaccines for a number of diseases including rabies? Oddly enough, when Pasteur was in school his teachers considered his grasp of the basic concepts of chemistry to be quite limited. • All coffee fanatics have Melitta Bentz to thank for making their morning waker-upper more enjoyable. Bentz was a typical German housewife who used her own ingenuity to invent the coffee filter, in 1908, some 300 years after the coffee beverage had been discovered. She revolutionized the perculation process by using blotting paper to filter out the grounds and unwanted residues. • Before he made his contributions to our knowledge about space (as well as creating his many inventions), Italian born Galileo Galilei wanted to be a musician. His father insisted that he attend medical school at the University of Pisa, but Galileo never received his degree. He did, however, go on to publish his works, “The Starry Messenger,” presenting among many other findings that Earth is not at the center of the universe. • Galileo had sound reasons for his claims about the design of the universe, but he was not the first to introduce this concept. Mathematician and astronomer Nicholas Copernicus also claimed that the sun was stationary and Earth revolved around it. His idea was harshly discredited by most at the time, but he is now regarded as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution.

Q A

American astronomer Edward Hubble is famous for work in the field of astrophysics. The Hubble Space Telescope is named for him, and it was his observation, known as “Hubble’s Law” that helped prove that the universe is expanding.

• Marie Skłodowska Curie, one of the world’s most famous female scientists, is celebrated for her discovery of the mysterious element radium, and coined the word “radioactivity”. A brilliant chemist and physicist, Madame Curie completely altered the way scientists thought about matter and energy and paved the way for the treatment of many diseases.

● If you were like the average rabbit, you would take 18 naps every day. ● You probably know that the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz” was based on the book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum. You may not realize, though, that Baum wrote a total of 14 Oz books between 1900 and 1920. The series continued even after the author’s death; Ruth Plumly Thompson produced one Oz book every year between 1921 and 1939. ● Those who study such things say that wine was being drunk more than 7,000 years ago, in ancient Sumeria.

The United States has been home to a great deal of renowned inventors over the years, each offering his or her own unique expertise and contributions to society. Here’s a look at some of the most famous inventors and their accomplishments. • Perhaps one of the most famous American scientists and inventors, Benjamin Franklin is credited with discovering electricity. His numerous inventions include the bifocal lens, lightning rod, the Franklin stove, and more. • A brilliant scientist and businessman, Thomas Edison is best known for inventing the electric light bulb. Other inventions include the motion picture camera and phonograph. • Research chemist Percy Lavon Julian was a pioneer in the medical field for his work with medicinal drugs synthesized from plants and for producing hormones such as testosterone and progesterone from plant sterols.

• American rocketry pioneer Robert Goddard, considered the father of modern rocket propulsion, built the first rocket to use liquid fuel. It wasn’t until 14 years after he died in 1945 that he was posthumously awarded a gold medal by Congress. It is said that his first thoughts of rockets came to him while pruning cherry trees as a boy.

My two favorite new shows of this past season were both on Fox: “Touch” and “Alcatraz.” Will they be back for another season? -- Sienna F., via e-mail

I can’t find new episodes of “Army Wives” on the TV schedule. Is it done for the season? -- Genie D., via e-mail

Don’t worry -- there will be 10 new episodes of Lifetime’s “Army Wives” starting Sunday, June 24, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Note the new time slot, as “Wives” will now follow “Drop Dead Diva.” Upon the show’s return, Susan Lucci will be back in her gueststarring role. ***

I’ve got good news and bad news. Want the bad news first? Fox has opted not to pick up “Alcatraz” for a second season. While it debuted pretty strong in the ratings, each week saw a steady decline in viewers, and it lost more than half its initial viewers by season’s end. “Touch,” however will be back for a second season. And, in case you were wondering, “American Dad,” “Bones,” “The Cleveland Show,” “Fringe,” “Glee,” “Kitchen Nightmares,” “New Girl,” “Raising Hope” and “The Simpsons” will all be back for new seasons come fall.

NO STICKY MESS. I really like coconut macaroons, but they are too sticky to work with. I spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup with Pam, pack it half full of dough, turn it upside down and tap it onto the parchment paper. Perfectly formed macaroons and no sticky mess. -- Nancy, Wisconsin

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by MaryTHE Hunt CELERY. While celery DE-STRING might be a dieter’s friend, the strings are a nuisance. My husband suggested using the vegetable peeler to remove the strings, and it worked. Not only does it vastly improve the taste and texture of the celery for snacking, it makes chopping a breeze. -- Carol, Oregon

REFRIGERATOR WHITE BOARD. Our new refrigerator has a smooth finish, and we started using the top area as a dry-erase white board, keeping track of our shopping list and writing notes. Somehow a permanent marker got used, but I didn’t know it. I tried just about everything, but nothing worked to erase the marker stain. Finally, I grabbed the bottle of liquid Bar Keeper’s Friend that we use for the glass on our wood-burning stove. It took a few applications, but it worked! We still use the fridge as a white board, but I’ve hidden all the permanent markers. -- Pamela, New York RIP OFF THE CELLOPHANE. When trying to open a cellophane wrapper on an item, I use a seam ripper. It works better than using a pair of scissors. -- Joy, Virginia DAWN RISES ON STAINS. I discovered recently that Dawn with bleach alternative removes many stains. I spilled red wine on a new yellow top and it had dried before I was able to treat it. I put the top in a bucket of cold water with a squirt of the detergent and let it stand overnight. Voila! No more wine stain. -- Laurel, via email COMPACTOR BAGS REALLY SAVE. The Space Saver Bags that are advertised on TV are nice, but they don’t last long. Within a year, the bags began to break down and tear. I found that plastic trash compactor bags are a great replacement. I put my items in the bag (making sure nothing sharp is sticking up), wrap the opening around the vacuum hose and vacuum the air out. I twist the hose and bag as I pull out the hose, and tie the bag closed with twine. These bags are thicker, hold up longer and cost a lot less. -- DebbiSu, West Virginia

TIDE FOR THE TOILET. We have well water, and I have tried everything to clean my toilet, but nothing cleaned to my satisfaction. Out of frustration, I tossed in the solution of Tide detergent that I had left over from cleaning my deck. Imagine my surprise when the Tide left a sparkling clean bowl behind. -- Mary, Pennsylvania Ad Proof:

I’m getting a little embarrassed apologizing for messing up with my email responses to readers. I pride myself that I am still able to personally respond to every email I get. But I am a computer Neanderthal. I can just barely handle the software programs I need to know to write this column and submit it to my syndicator; and to respond to emails from my readers. Recently, I was in the middle of answering an email from a guy who wanted to know how Social Security retirement benefits were figured, when all of a sudden, my fast-moving typing fingers must have accidentally hit an odd combination of keys and POOF, my entire answer was translated into Japanese! Actually, I’m not sure if it was Japanese, but it looked like what I imagine Japanese writing to look. Anyway, in my attempts to remedy that error, I must have hit another odd combination of keys when POOF again, the entire document disappeared! And I was never able to retrieve it. So if there is some reader out there who had questions about Social Security computations and is wondering why I never responded to his email, please send it again. I’ll type my response more slowly and carefully and hope I am able to keep it in English and hit the “send” key before I delete it again! In the meantime, I thought it might be a good time to explain once again (I do this every couple years or so) how Social Security retirement benefits are figured. The formula is simple in a general sense, but very complicated when you get to the nitty gritty details. Here is the simple part: A Social Security retirement benefit is a percentage of your average monthly income, using your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. Note that there are four parts to that formula: 1) a percentage; 2) your average monthly income; 3) an inflation-indexing factor; and 4) a 35-year base. We’ll work backwards to explain how things work. The 35-year base is the easy part. When you file for retirement benefits, the Social Security Administration will look at your entire earnings history and pull out your highest 35 years. They don’t have to be consecutive. If you don’t have 35 years of earnings, SSA must plug in “zero” years to get to the 35year base. And please note that 35 means 35! Despite all the rumors out there, your retirement benefit is NOT based on your highest 5 years of earnings, or your last 10 years of earnings; or any other number of years other than 35. Here is a related issue based on that 35- year rule. As part of the discussion of long range Social Security reform, you will frequently hear proposals to change the “computation years.” A number I’ve heard most often is adopting a 38-year base. What they are talking about is basing future Social Security benefits on a retiree’s highest 38 years, rather than the highest 35. That would have the effect of lowering future benefits because the more base years used, the lower benefits are. Think of it this way: if your retirement computation was based on your high three years of earnings, for example, that would result in a much higher benefit than one based on 35 years. So, adding even more years to the base would For more teasers log on to lower benefits further. www.TriviaGuy.com

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9) kibble in flowerpots, under cushions and behind furniture, rocks and trees. This kind of nose work is both physically and mentally exhausting. And it offers the added bonus of reinforcing training and the notion that you control all good things in life. When your dog has successfully “found it” all, and when you’re ready to get on with your day, hide the food puzzle toy (offered in varying degrees of difficulty) that contains the other half of his breakfast and instruct him to “find it” before you leave the house. (Again, how well you hide it should correspond with the skill of your dog’s nose.) Voila! Mental and physical stimulation even in your absence. Repeat for dinner. Countless toys and games of this nature exist for the pleasure and growth of you and your dog. Hide-and-Seek is a version of Find It that uses you as the ultimate reward. Fetch is a great game that reinforces training -- “here, “drop it, “give,” “fetch” -- and provides an awesome physical workout. Agility classes, pack hikes, playdates, trips to the dog park, and group or one-on-one training sessions are all forms of mental and physical stimulation that ward off boredom and all the behavioral problems that come with it. Sorry, pups. No more free lunches! Woof!

But now let’s get back to the current computation formula. Before they add up those “high 35,” they index each year of past earnings for inflation. And this is where the formula starts to get messy. That’s because there is a different adjustment factor for each year of earnings, AND each year’s adjustment factor is different based on your year of birth. Here is a quick example. If you were born in 1949, and earned $20,000 in 1980, they would multiply those earnings by an inflation adjustment factor of 3.25, meaning they would actually use $65,000 as your 1980 earnings. But if you were born in 1950 and earned that same $20,000 in 1980, they would use an inflation factor of 3.33 resulting in $66,600 as the 1980 earnings used in your Social Security computation. You can find a complete breakdown of those inflation adjustment factors for each year of birth (for folks nearing retirement age) at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10070.html. So the next step in the retirement computation formula is to add up your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. Then you divide by 420 -- that’s the number of months in 35 years -- to get your average inflation-adjusted monthly income. The final step brings us to the “social” part of Social Security. The percentage of your average monthly income that comes back to you in the form of a Social Security benefit depends on your income. In a nutshell, the lower your average wage, the higher percentage rate of return you get. Once again, the actual formula is messy, and varies depending on your year of birth. As an example, here is the formula for someone born in 1949. You take the first $749 of average monthly income and multiply by 90 percent. You take the next $3,768 of your average monthly income and multiply that by 32 percent. And you take any remainder and multiply it by 15 percent. You can find a complete breakdown of those computation “bend points” at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10007.html.

In 1965, my aunt brought a Nishi geisha doll back from Japan for my mother. The doll is 12 inches tall and in a glass case. She is sitting and holding a musical instrument. The bottom of the case has a mark with the words “Nishi & Company, Ltd. - Japan.” I was 5 years old in 1965 and I am now 53. She has been kept in perfect condition all these years, and now I would like to know her value.

Nets, too? To those unfamiliar with the relationship, it doesn’t seem fair. New Jersey and the Nets have spent the mediocre part of 35 years together, and this is how it ends? “Crooklyn” steals the girl? Don’t weep for New Jersey -- it can handle it. It’s state capital’s motto is “Trenton makes, the world takes.” It can handle the breakup. In fact, not only will it handle the breakup, it just might beat Los Angeles -- the city that stole the Dodgers from Brooklyn -- for the championship. Feelings of jealousy would be understandable in Brooklyn as the Devils skated around downtown Newark with the Stanley Cup held high. Isn’t that always the way? Your ex looks better than ever, particularly since you’ve learned she is just fine without you. “My message to the Nets is goodbye,” said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a recent press conference. “You don’t want to stay here, we don’t want you? [You] want to leave here and go to Brooklyn? Good riddance -- see you later.” So yeah, congratulations, Brooklyn. You’ve successfully wooed the Nets away from New Jersey. They’re your problem now. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City.

NAMES IN SCIENCE (from page page 3)

• Born into a prominent family of wealth, Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro followed in his family’s footsteps to practice law but couldn’t shake his interest in the natural sciences. He studied physics and math in private for years before he published his hypothesis about molecules that was eventually labeled Avogadro’s Law. • German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen is known for discovering X-rays and received great recognition for his findings, including streets named in his honor, countless awards and the Nobel Prize in Physics. • German physician and bacteriologist Robert Koch made a discovery that changed medicine forever: All diseases were not caused by bad air but instead by bacteria. He was able to find the causes of such deadly diseases of tuberculosis, cholera and the cycle of anthrax. Koch won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1905. • Although he was expected to enter the medical field, Frederick Sanger’s interest in nature and science was too strong. Because of his work with proteins and DNA, Sanger won two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, one in 1958 and one in 1980. He was the first person to find a protein sequence. 

His printing press played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution. It virtually paved the way for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses • Known as the Father of Geometry, ancient Greek Mathematician Euclid published his ideas in “The Elements,” and his teachings influenced Western mathematics for more than 2,000 years. Since it is estimated that he lived from 325 BC-265 BC, little more is known about his life.

PHOBIAS (continued): • Some phobias relate to what’s up above, such as the sun (heliophobia), the clouds (nephophobia), the moon (selenophobia), and the stars (siderophobia). Some folks are just afraid of looking up – they are called anablephobes. • Not all phobias seem that abnormal or uncommon. Lots of people might have a fear of death, known as necrophobia. But those with an extreme form might be terrified of being buried alive. A nosocomephobe has a fear of hospitals, a verminophobe is afraid of germs, and a hydrophobe has an irrational fear of water. • Individuals suffering from extreme agoraphobia rarely leave their homes, due to their fear of public or open spaces and the inescapable situations that may occur there. Only home is safe. • Some phobias can be a learned behavior that comes from listening to others describe a traumatic event. An individual in one’s life can trigger a phobia, such as peladophobia, the fear of bald people. Those with nosto-phobia, a fear of returning home, may be able to contribute their panic to a specific incident. • People who are afraid of looking into mirrors have cataptrophobia, while those with cyberphobia have a fear of working with computers. A person with an anxiety about memories is a mnemophobe. • Don’t confuse levophobia, the fear of objects to a person’s left, with dextrophobia, the fear of objects to the right. • Although some of us fear the possibility of cancer, an extreme carcinophobe will convince himself he has cancer because he touched someone who has it.

Professional Golf Tips Play Better Golf with JACK NICKLAUS With Tina Mickelson

Tee it up wisely Hitting the fairway is key to improving your score. You can increase your chances of hitting the fairway from the tee by incorporating a few key thoughts. First off, identify which side of the hole has the most trouble and tee your ball up on that side of the tee box. For example, if there are bunkers down the right side, tee your ball up on the right side of the tee box. take your aim, be sure to aim away from the trouble. This will, in effect, increase the width of the fairway and keep you out of trouble. And something else worth mentioning is the importance of teeing your ball up on level ground. The tee box is the one place you have control over what type of lie you have, so take advantage of that! “l was golfing at the country club east of here, working on my slice problem. One of your employees thought he saw my ball headed this -- oh, there it is.”
