LITTLE STROKES FELL GREAT OAKS

Choosing the best line of play sometimes requires exceptionally fine judgment. In most cases, however, the correct approach is clear-cut, although not necessarily apparent.

For example, suppose you’re in four spades on this deal and West leads a diamond. You win with the ace, and the question is how to proceed. It seems obvious that you should try to ruff a club in dummy to acquire a 10th trick, but this is much easier said than done.

Let’s say you lead a low club at trick two to pave the

way for a club ruff in dum-my. In that case, East would win with the nine and return a trump. He does not have to be a genius to figure out what you’re planning to do. Your best bet would be to finesse, but West unfortunately wins with the king and returns a trump. Eventually you go down one.

However, this is the wrong way to play the hand. The right play at trick two is the king of clubs, not a low club! Observe the effect of this play if West has the ace, which would happen about half the time. In the actual case, West takes the king with the ace but is helpless.

He can return a trump, which you’d win, but when you next led a second club, West would find himself sty-mied. If he won the trick, he would then be faced with the unhappy choice of letting you ruff a club in dummy or sacrificing his sure trump trick by leading a second trump. And if East won the club instead, he would have no trump to return.

The king-of-clubs lead at trick two is not something that springs readily to mind, but it nevertheless substan-tially increases your chances of making the contract.

LIFE With the Beatles: Inside Beatlemaniaby their Official Photographer, Robert Whitaker(Life Books, $39.95)Reviewed by Larry Cox

The impact of the Beatles cannot be overstated. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr not only helped rede-fine popular music, they reconfigured the popular culture of the 1960s and beyond.

Shortly after the band formed, manager Brian Epstein hired fellow Eng-lishman Bob Whitaker to be the group’s official photog-rapher. It was a wise choice, since Whitaker had a keen eye for framing a shot. He took thousands of photo-graphs as he documented John, Paul, George and Ringo in their day-to-day activities. His photographs were different from many of the others that were taken because he not only under-stood the Beatles, he had a sense of what made them different, exciting and char-ismatic. His images chroni-cled the very essence of the Beatles.

Whitaker was collaborat-

ing with the editors of Life just before his death in Eng-land in the autumn of 2011. Despite his absence, work to complete the project contin-ued. The result is not just a treasure trove of images, but also of Bob’s reminiscences of the Beatles as he knew them.

Because Whitaker was so intimately involved with the group, the photos reflect the remarkable chemistry of the four musicians, preserving even the tensions and occa-sional difficulties. Although some of the images will be familiar, others will not. In fact, many of the photo-graphs are appearing in print for the first time.

“LIFE With the Beatles” begins with an explanation of the mania that surround-ed the group. The main por-tion of the book is divided into three important years: 1964, 1965 and 1966.

For older readers, the pictures and well-crafted text certainly will trigger memories. For others, it will explain how four talented young men from Liverpool changed popular culture and allowed us to see and expe-rience things in a fresh, new way.

Furniture Polish

Q: I have several old-er pieces of furni-

ture in my home. They are mostly darker woods. Can you recommend a good polish? I just moved to a dry region and am afraid the pieces might begin cracking. — Art, Palm Desert, Calif.

A: My grandmother made her own fur-

niture polish, and I recom-mend it highly — if you can tolerate the turpentine smell. For her polish, take 1 cup of boiled linseed oil (which is how you buy it at the hardware store), add one cup of gum turpentine and one half cup of white vin-egar. Shake well. Use liber-ally on your furniture, wipe clean, repeat. After several weeks of using this polish, you will discover a nice, protective coat.

***

Q: I have a set of “Anheuser Busch

Budweiser Girls,” which are limited to 1,500 sets. I have No. 144. Each piece is hand-colored and fin-ished. Can you give me a value for this set? — Jean, Decatur, Ill.

A: I assume these are the “Budweiser Girls”

steins. If so, I found three of the steins on eBay for about $15 each. The complete set would be worth more. Incidentally, the first “Bud-weiser Girl” was introduced in 1883. The practice of using beautiful women to promote its beer has contin-ued to this day.

***

Q: I have a ceramic S t a f f o r d s h i r e

dog figurine. The label

on the bottom claims it is circa 1880. I would like an estimate of how much it is worth — a formal appraisal is not required. — Bill, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: I am not an appraiser and not qualified

to provide you with this service. Since you live in Albuquerque, I suggest you hire the services of a good certified appraiser. There are generally two types of appraisals, verbal and writ-ten. The verbal appraisal is less expensive.

***

Q: I recently inherit-ed a set of sterling

flatware. It is the Bridal Rose pattern by Alvin. Can you tell me when it was made? — Susan, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Your flatware was made in 1903. It

was one of the company’s most ornate patterns. Prices include dinner fork, $150; gravy ladle, $280; teaspoon, $150; and salad fork, $170.

CORRECTION: In a recent column, the tele-phone number for Wedge-wood china expert Leslie Vander Maulen Canavan of Alexis Antiques was incor-rect. The correct number is 314-647-7986. I regret the error.

Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questions-forcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox is unable to personally answer all reader questions. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

Fighting ObesityDEAR PAW’S COR-

NER: My dog “Beaver,” a medium-size mutt of undetermined parentage, has a bit of a weight prob-lem. The veterinarian says he’s borderline obese. I’ve tried feeding him a lim-ited diet as the vet recom-mended, but he’s miser-able. What else can I do to help him slim down? — Clark D., Seattle

DEAR CLARK: Helping a pet lose weight can be dif-ficult. Like us humans, it’s the lifestyle as well as diet that make it easier to pack on the pounds. So, beyond just feeding Beaver less, his daily activities have to change significantly too.

For the next two weeks, carry a notepad around with you. When you feed Beaver, jot down what and how much he ate. When you walk him, note how far or for how long the walk was, whether he was energetic or not, and whether you two played fetch or ran around off the leash, and so on.

Then, review those notes.

You’ll see a pattern of activ-ity and diet there — and you’ll be better informed and aware than even your dog’s veterinarian is. Armed with that information you can add to Beaver’s activ-ity level, extend his walks, spend more time playing his favorite games. Combining an increased activity level with the special diet the vet recommended will help your dog lose weight.

The biggest benefit to this increased activity will be the improved relationship you develop with Beaver. He’ll no longer just be a lov-able dog lounging around the house; with a few weeks of regular activity, I predict both of you will look for-ward to those longer walks and play times.

Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com. Did you know mosquitoes can trans-mit heartworm larvae to dogs, but fleas don’t? Find out more in my new book, “Fighting Fleas,” avail-able now on Amazon.

Written by Todd J. Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive

Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern TierIt is no secret that summer feels like the shortest season in

Chautauqua County. In our pursuit to make the most of this wonderful time of year there are many organizations plugging a lot of events into this precious time of year. Organizations do their best to schedule their events so that they don’t fall on the same dates. That is not always possible, or realistic, in a county where we are fortunate to have so much going on to appeal to so many different interest groups.

This year, the committee planning our Annual Golf Tournament purposely set out to make some changes in order to spark some renewed interest and make it more fun for our golfers. One of those changes was a decision to move the date, so a late July date was chosen – nearly six weeks earlier than we have traditionally held this event.

Just this past week, our committee learned that the date chosen conflicts with another charity golf tournament at a different country club. So the committee quickly regrouped and determined a date change was in order. The new date for the Chamber Annual Golf Tournament is Thursday, August 15.

We are so grateful to the organizers at Peek’n Peak for the easy transition in making this date change. The staff at the Peek has been gracious and professional and we look forward to working with them over the next few months as this event comes together. The tournament will be played on the Peek’s prestigious Upper Course, a championship caliber, par 72 course which offers optimum playing conditions in a spectacular setting. The Peek has earned a 4.5/5 star rating from Golf Digest and is a past host to the PGA Nationwide Tournament.

Also new this year is a format change. The Chamber tournament has always been a scramble, but we have had some interest in offering a Two Best Ball tournament. So we have compromised this year and are offering BOTH. Golfers can choose the way they prefer to play. Both will be played simultaneously, and the purse will be divided with prizes awarded for each format.

The Chamber Golf Tournament is being sponsored this year by DFT Communications, Community Bank NA, Cummins, Inc., Fredonia Place, Lake Shore Savings Bank, Lawley-Tradition LLC, National Fuel Gas, Ed Shults Chevrolet, Inc., the OBSERVER, and The Post-Journal. For more information or to register, visit the Chamber website at www.chautauquachamber.org, or call 484-1101 or 366-6200.

As part of its 2013 Membership Blitz, the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is working with all of its affiliated community chambers to hold Business After Hours networking events. These events will be hosted by the community chambers, but are open to anyone in any part of the county. There is no registration fee and each event will include free appetizers and a cash bar. There will be a brief presentation at each event on the value of membership. Otherwise, attendees can simply enjoy the company of other Chamber members or prospective members.

Business After Hours events are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, April 30 at Sully’s Pub in the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, hosted by the Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce; Wednesday, May 1 at the Athenaeum Hotel, Chautauqua Institution, hosted by the Mayville-Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce; and Thursday, May 2 at Applebee’s in Dunkirk, hosted by the Dunkirk and Fredonia Community Chambers of Commerce.

The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce this week kicked off its 2013 Membership Blitz. New members who join the Chamber before May 10 will be entered into a drawing for these prizes from the Chamber: a Sapphire Gem Sponsorship valued at $1,000, their next year’s membership free, or a free pass to all Chamber events for a year (excluding the golf tournament and annual banquet). Additional prizes have been donated by dozens of friends of the Chamber. The prizes will be awarded during the Experience Chautauqua Networking Event at the Lawson Boating Heritage Center in Bemus Point on May 16.

The Chamber of Commerce provides tools to help businesses increase their profits and connect to new customers, and offers information and new ideas as well as representation as the voice of business on important public policy issues. The Chamber’s Shop Chautauqua County Gift Check program easily pumps more than $100,000 a year into the local economy, while providing participating businesses with additional marketing exposure. With a long history of providing health insurance plans, and with a thorough knowledge of insurance exchange programs and the Affordable Care Act, the Chamber is a key source for all businesses on this issue. The Chamber is also the voice of business on issues of public policy and advocacy. These are just a few of the benefits of Chamber membership.

Chamber membership is affordable and valuable. We encourage you to join this network of more than 1,000 businesses in Chautauqua County and become a part of all the Chamber has to offer. For more information, call the Chamber at 366-6200 or 484-1101, or find us online at www.chautauquachamber.org.

was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. After leaving Southampton on April 10, 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading westwards towards New York.

On April 14, 1912, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm (ship’s time; GMT- 3). The glancing collision caused Titanic’s hull plates to buckle inwards in a number of locations on her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea.

Over the next two and a half hours, the ship gradually filled with water and sank. Passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partly filled. A disproportionate number of men – over 90% of those in Second Class – were left aboard due to a “women and children first” protocol followed by the officers loading the lifeboats. Just before 2:20 a.m Titanic broke up and sank bow-first with over a thousand people still on board. Those in the water died within minutes from hypothermia caused by immersion in the freezing ocean.

She carried 2,224 people. Due to outdated maritime safety regulations, she carried only enough lifeboats for 1,178 people – a third of her total passenger and crew capacity. The sinking caused the deaths of 1,514. The 710 survivors were taken aboard from the lifeboats by the RMS Carpathia a few hours later.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Nontraditional Sweet

Freezer PicklesThis is not your typical pickle recipe. No special

equipment or ingredients are needed. This recipe produces a crisp, sweet pickle that goes well in salads, on sandwiches or as a side. The secret to the crisp texture is the sugar, so do not reduce the sugar in the recipe. This recipe works well with slicing, pickling, seedless or hothouse cucumbers.

* 2 quarts cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (use any variety of cucumber)

* 1 medium onion, sliced thinly* 1 tablespoon salt (table salt, canning salt or

kosher salt can be used)* 1-1/2 cups sugar* 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar

Mix cucumbers, onions and salt in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set the bowl on the counter for 2 hours. Pour into a colander and drain water from cucumber mixture. Combine sugar and vinegar. Stir well and pour over cucumbers. Pack into freezer containers or zip-closure bags. Freeze immediately. Pickles are ready to eat in 3 or 4 days. They will keep in the freezer for up to one year.

ASK PSYCHIC; MEDIUM; ASTROLOGER

What do you think it means when you see the same number ALL THE TIME? I always see the number 117. Always. Everyday. And now, I just saw online that the Boston Marathon today was the 117th annual! What does this mean? Anonymous.

As I come into your question; ( and as indicated through the contents of your question ) I see this number cycling- previously; now; and within your near future. I am being told by your spirit guides and teachers you have psychic; clairvoyant; and medium-ship gifts of your own- even though you are currently unable and unwilling to accept them as a part of your conscious reality. They go on to relay some of this has to do with the career path you are choosing for your self and your fear associated with your peers; in-subordinates; and/or your subordinates discovering this validity regarding yourself. Your Spirit Guides and Teachers ask me to remind you...this will not make your gifts disappear. They go on to relay...that which we resist; we draw to our-self. Your Spirit Guides and Teachers also relay you have made a subconscious decision to “stay” away from these gifts in order to allow your self to keep your eyes ( physical and spiritual ) closed tightly regarding romance and matters “of the heart.” I am seeing you previously seeing other groups/patterns of numbers for specific periods of time within your life pointed toward outcomes of events world wide and within your life. Your Spirit Teachers and Guides continue by relaying the above number cycles and via your dreams ( when you give yourself permission to remember them ) are only two means for you to receive insight ( for yourself; others within your inner circle; others within your close proximity and/or matters of your heart ). Your Spirit Guides and Teachers relay we all have patterns and cycles of various sorts which act like keys in order to assist us with our discovering our spirits purpose and the “reason(s)” we decided this/any portion of our journey. Your spirit teachers and guides ask you to take an even closer observation(s) of your life in order for you discover further “mysteries” ( cycles and patterns ) found within your life. Examples might be names of those ( both female and male ) who come into our life ( sub categories: For a moment; to come and go; to teach; to learn; for life’s duration; any and/or all of the before mentioned; etc... ). What do the patterns of certain given names represent ( to you; with others; to others; with you; etc... )? They ask me to remind you they are always here in order to assist you; you must call upon them and ask due to the law of Free Will. They part with giving God’s white light and much unconditional love.

Stir Up Puffy Paint for Rainy-

Day FunIf April’s showers are

keeping your kids inside, surprise them with rainy-day fun that will spark their creativity. Stir up several batches of puffy paint for paper using the simplest of ingredients: flour, salt and water. Add coloring, and the kids will be able to make doodles and designs that will have a sparkly “puff” effect as they dry.

It’s an inexpensive, non-toxic concoction that’s not only easy to mix, but vir-tually messless because the paint is applied with a recycled squeeze bottle.

Here’s the stuff you’ll need for two colors:

1 cup white flour 1 cup plain table salt 1 cup water poster paint or food coloring 2 plastic squeeze bottles with spout, such as recycled honey bear bottles

Here’s the fun:In a medium-size mix-

ing bowl, stir together the flour, salt and water until smooth. It should be thick and pourable like a milk-shake. Divide the mixture into two bowls. Add some paint or a few drips of food coloring and stir each one until blended. If your mix-tures are too thick, add water a half-teaspoon at a time. Pour into the two squeeze bottles.

On a newspaper-covered work surface, squeeze the paint onto a sheet of heavy paper or poster board to create designs. When fin-ished, set aside to dry. The paint will puff on its own

as it dries. For best results, use the paint within two to three days.

Fun things to paint:—Draw small designs

on heavy notecard paper. Add envelopes and tie

with a ribbon for a gift. Or, make a collection of gift tags by punching a hole in the corner and adding string.

—Make a frame for a painting or photo using a recycled cereal box.

Cut a cereal box into two rectangular shapes larger than what you are fram-ing, with one piece slightly larger than the other. The larger of the two pieces is

the frame and the small piece is the backing. Cut out the center of the frame to leave an opening for the art or photo to show.

Now it’s time to decorate it! Paint the plain side of the frame by squeezing some puffy paint on it. Spread the paint out thinly with a paintbrush to cover the cardboard. Let dry, then squeeze fun designs on the painted frame. Let dry.

Attach your photo or art-work to the backing with tape. Place the frame on top and tape in place.

Paint Like a Pro

Q: Hi, first-time paint-er here. My dad

offered some advice to my roommate and I on paint-ing our apartment, such as putting down drop-cloths and stirring the paint really well. Is there any other key information we need so we do a good job? The landlord won’t be happy if we mess it up! — Keri C., Tallahassee, Fla.

A: Preparation is the biggest part of paint-

ing. It can be maddening getting everything ready to paint, but if you do it right, putting down each coat is really satisfying. Here are some key points:

• Get clearance from the landlord or building man-agement before painting. Just as importantly, pay attention to and follow any specific instructions, such as which colors to use.

• Prepare the room(s): Remove as much furniture and stuff as possible. Move what’s left to the center of the room and cover with dropcloths or old sheets. Cover floors or carpets with overlapping dropcloths.

• Prepare the walls: Take down pictures and carefully remove nails and screws; fill the small holes with spackling compound and let dry for 24 hours before sanding smooth.

• Remove cover plates from wall switches and out-lets; cover window and door hardware with plastic or remove the hardware (if it’s easy to put back on). Cover light fixtures with plastic shopping bags and secure with masking tape.

• Brush away loose plas-ter, cobwebs, dirt and peel-

ing paint. Sand bumpy areas smooth using fine-grit sandpaper. Wash the walls with a sponge dampened in a light soap-and-water mix or wall-cleaning product, and let dry.

• Use blue painter’s tape (which is less sticky than masking tape) to mask off window and door trim, and other areas where you don’t want paint to go.

• Assemble all the stuff you need to paint: Not just brushes and rollers, but paint trays, stirring sticks (usually available free with paint purchase) and old rags or towels for cleanup.

• Save money not by pick-ing the cheapest paint, but by purchasing the exact amount you need. How to do that? Measure the square footage of each wall (length times height) and total the numbers.

• Use primer if you don’t know what type of paint is on the walls, or if you’re covering glossy paint with matte paint or vice versa, or if the old paint is darker than the new paint.

Once prepped, you’re ready to paint! Start high and work on one wall at a time. Use a foam edger or a brush to paint a border about 3 inches wide where the wall meets the ceiling. Then start rolling on paint, using a “W” pattern in various directions until the wall is covered. Once the walls are done, paint the trim, win-dows and finally the doors, if you’re painting them.

Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’sIf you’re a Vietnam veter-

an, the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study might need your help. It’s been doing a clinical trial about Alzheimer’s disease in Vietnam veterans who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with or without any symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

It wants to learn how pre-vious injuries affect veterans as they age, which will help those injured in Afghani-stan and Iraq. Researchers will be able to identify vet-erans who are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s dis-ease, and create preventive treatments. It sounds very worthwhile.

The study, called Brain Aging in Vietnam War Vet-erans by the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Ini-tiative, will take place at ADNI locations at 19 uni-versities and research cen-ters in 11 states.

During the clinical trial, researchers will study changes in the brain scans, cognitive tests and cerebro-spinal fluid. Three separate groups will be studied: Vietnam veterans with TBI

but without PTSD, and hav-ing mild cognitive impair-ment; Vietnam veterans with PTSD but no TBI or cognitive impairment; and control-group Vietnam vet-erans with no TBI or PTSD who are comparable in age.

Basic criteria:—Men and women 50 to

90 years of age.—Must live within 150

miles of testing site.—If receiving VA disabil-

ity payments, they must be for something other than TBI or PTSD, or no disabil-ity at all.

There are specific criteria for TBI and PTSD, as well as medical condition exclu-sions, so refer to the infor-mation at www.clinicaltri-als.gov (see trial identifier NCT01687153).

For more information, email Jacqueline.Hayes@va.gov, or call 1-415-221-4810, extension 4593. To find out more about eligi-bility criteria and locations, call 1-800-438-4380.

• To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of news-paper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen.

• To keep ice crystals from forming on the top of your quart of ice cream, just cut a square of plastic wrap and push it down onto the sur-face of the ice cream each time you scoop a bowlful out. It peels off easily when you’re ready for another helping, but there’s no ice! It works for me!” — T.D. in Nebraska

• White vinegar will clean fruit or food-coloring stains from your hands — and most other places, too!

• F.J. of Texas writes: “Keep a fresh roll of unscented toilet tissue in the kitchen to clean up the stove and countertop. It

works well because of its absorbency, and it saves money on expensive paper towels.”

• “If you add a teaspoon of sugar to your biscuit mix or to the dough for rolls, it will help them to brown well and they will come out of the oven with golden tops.” — Jan R. of Michigan

• “You can get five or six more uses out of a pump-top lotion bottle if you cut off the top to access the lotion inside that doesn’t come out of the pump once the level is too low. You’d be surprised how much is still in there!

Your Kids Aren’t Your Own

The TV cable-news net-work MSNBC runs ser-monettes from its anchors during commercial breaks. They are like public-service announcements illuminating the progressive mind, and perhaps none has ever been as revealing and remarkable as the one cut by weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry.

Harris-Perry set out to explain what is, by her lights, the failure to invest adequately in public educa-tion. She located the source of the problem in the insidi-ous idea of parental respon-sibility for children.

“We’ve always had kind of a private notion of chil-dren,” she said, in the tone of an anthropologist explain-ing a strange practice she discovered when out doing far-flung fieldwork. “Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.” So long as this retrograde concep-tion prevails, according to Harris-Perry, we will never spend enough money on children.

“We have to break through,” she urged, “our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their fami-lies.”

Her statement wasn’t an aside on live television. She didn’t misspeak. The spot was shot, produced and aired without, apparently, raising any alarm bells. No one with influence raised his or her hand and said, “Should we really broadcast something that sounds so outlandish?”

The foundation of the Har-ris-Perry view is that soci-ety is a large-scale kibbutz. The title of Hillary Clinton’s best-seller in the 1990s

expressed the same point in comforting folk wisdom: “It Takes a Village.”

As the ultimate private institution, the family is a stubborn obstacle to the great collective effort. Inso-far as people invest in their own families, they are hold-ing out on the state and unac-ceptably privileging their own kids over the children of others. These parents are selfish, small-minded and backward.

“Once it’s everybody’s responsibility,” Harris-Perry said of child-rearing, “and not just the households, then we start making better investments.”

This impulse toward the state as uber-parent is based on a profound fallacy and a profound truth. The fallacy is that anyone can care about someone else’s children as much as his own. The for-mer Texas Republican Sen. Phil Gramm liked to illus-trate the hollowness of pro-fessions to the contrary with a story. He told a woman, “My educational policies are based on the fact that I care more about my chil-dren than you do.” She said, “No, you don’t.” Gramm replied, “OK: What are their names?”

The truth is that parents are one of society’s most incor-rigible sources of inequal-ity. If you have two of them who stay married and are invested in your upbring-ing, you have hit life’s lot-tery. You will reap untold benefits denied to children who aren’t so lucky. That the family is so essential to the well-being of children has to be a constant source of frus-tration to the egalitarian stat-ist, a reminder of the limits of his power.

If the left wants to equalize the investments in children that matter most, it should promote intact families and engaged parents, even if it means embracing shock-ingly old-fashioned private child-rearing.

• On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the first companies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week. In early 1914, Ford had announced it would pay workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours.

• On April 30, 1939, the New York World’s Fair opens in New York City on a 1,200-acre site at Flush-ing Meadow Park in Queens. Among the new technol-ogy exhibited was FM radio, robotics, fluorescent lighting and a crude fax machine.

• On May 3, 1946, in Tokyo, the International Military Tribunals begins hearing the case against 28 Japanese military and gov-ernment officials accused of committing war crimes dur-ing World War II. The trial ended with 25 of 28 Japa-nese defendants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the trial, and one was declared insane.

• On May 5, 1955, the Fed-eral Republic of Germany (West Germany) becomes a sovereign state when the United States, France and Great Britain end their mili-tary occupation, which had

begun in 1945. With this action, West Germany was given the right to rearm and become a full-fledged mem-ber of the western alliance against the Soviet Union.

• On May 2, 1964, an explosion of a charge assumed to have been placed by Viet Cong terrorists sinks the USNS Card at its dock in Saigon. No one was injured and the ship was eventu-ally raised and repaired. The Card had arrived in Saigon two days earlier.

• On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, stu-dents protesting the Vietnam War torch the ROTC build-ing on campus, and Ohio Gov. James Rhodes called in the National Guard to restore order. The Guardsmen fired into the crowd, killing four and wounding 11. They were later brought to trial for the shootings, but found not guilty.

• On April 29, 1986, in a game against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park, Roger Clemens of the Bos-ton Red Sox becomes the first pitcher in Major League Baseball to strike out 20 bat-ters in a nine-inning game. Ten years later, Clemens repeated the feat.

Q:My favorite new show this year far

and away is “Vikings.” Will we get another sea-son, or was this a one-sea-son deal? — Patrick L., via email

A: The History Chan-nel has picked up

“Vikings” — its first script-ed drama series — for a 10-episode second season. As of now, “Vikings” con-tinues to be the No. 1 new cable series of 2013, and has launched History to No. 1 in cable in its Sunday 10 p.m. time period. Dirk Hoogstra — executive vice president of development and programming — says of the show’s renewal: “Vikings is a win-win for us. As our first scripted series, ‘Vikings’ has paid off in a big way, with criti-cal acclaim, strong ratings and a passionate, loyal fan base. We could not be more proud of the entire cast and crew and everyone involved in the making of ‘Vikings.’ Season two will begin production this sum-mer to air in 2014.”

***

Q: Is it true they are making a “Finding

Nemo” sequel? I really hope so because I really loved that movie. — Jane S., Tampa, Fla.

A: You heard correctly. In the new movie,

Ellen Degeneres’ charac-ter, Dory, will be the focus, with the movie appro-priately named “Finding Dory.” While it’s still super early in the production process, there is a little bit I can tell you about the movie. The new film picks up about a year after the action of “Finding Nemo,” with Ellen’s forgetful fish

Dory on her own adventure to reunite with loved ones. According to Disney, the film will feature new char-acters along with familiar ones, including Nemo and his dad, Marlin.

Q: “Bates Motel” is gloriously and

exquisitely creepy, and is one of my favorite shows of the season. There’s still lots more story that can be told, so please tell me that A&E will bring it back for another season. — Erica F., Birmingham, Ala.

A: The first season of “Bates Motel” pre-

miered as the most-watched scripted drama in the history of the A&E Network, so you can bet that Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore will be back for more mouth-dropping drama. Produc-tion begins later this year on a 10-episode second season, which will air in 2014.

Age No Barrier to Heart Valve

RepairDEAR DR. DONOHUE:

I had an echocardiogram. The findings are consis-tent with “moderate to severe aortic stenosis with trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonic insufficiency, with left atrial enlarge-ment and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The ejection fraction is greater than 65 percent.” My doc-tor referred me to a cardi-ologist, who told me I need surgery. I am 86 years old and do not feel it would be safe. Will you explain in plain English what I have, and if surgery would lengthen my life span? — M.I.

ANSWER: Forget about the mitral, tricuspid and pulmonic heart valves. These three valves have an insignificant leak. Your aor-tic valve, however, is your main problem. The aortic valve closes after the heart pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Your valve is so narrow (stenosis) that it cre-ates an obstacle to empty-ing the heart of blood. That has given rise to “diastolic dysfunction.” Your heart can’t fill with blood nor-mally, as it should between heartbeats (diastole). It is less stretchable. The aortic valve trouble has caused it to thicken.

Early on in aortic steno-sis, all goes well. When the valve narrows to a critical

size, about 1 square centi-meter, symptoms arise, and heart damage progresses more rapidly. The three most important symptoms and signs of aortic steno-sis are shortness of breath when up and about, chest pain with activity and fainting spells. Once these symptoms appear, a down-hill course in heart health is to be expected.

Even though you’re 86, age is not a contraindica-tion to surgery. If your health is otherwise good, you could be a candidate for it. Discuss with the doctor the surgery he has in mind. Ask if you might be able to receive a new valve inserted into the heart through a sur-face blood vessel by way of a catheter. No extensive incisions are made. It’s a less-traumatic procedure.

Eat Fish, Live Longer

Seniors older than 65 who have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood benefit from reduced mortality risk, specifically from heart disease, accord-ing to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Washing-ton.

The 16-year study gath-ered information on three specific types of fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is related to lower risk of death from heart disease; eicosapentae-noic acid (EPA), which is linked to lower risk of non-fatal heart attacks; and doc-osapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is associated with lower risk of stroke death.

The study concluded that adults with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood:

—reduce their overall mortality risk by as much as 27 percent;

—lower their risk of dying of heart disease by 35 per-cent;

—can extend their lives an average of 2.2 years.

This can be accomplished,

the study said, by increas-ing the level of fatty-acid foods (fatty, oily fish) from little or none to a moderate amount, about two servings per week, or an average of 400 mg per day.

Some researchers have declared the study faulty, however, because it didn’t specifically address the consumption of fish. It also excluded participants who took fish oil supplements and concentrated on the levels of fatty acid in the blood.

If you’re curious about this study, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to add one or two servings of fish per week to your diet. The types of fish classified as “fatty” include cold-water albacore tuna, trout, salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel. Other ways to get omega-3 include eggs, walnuts and canola oil.

The carrot is a very versa-tile vegetable. It can be used as a starter, main course, dessert or just as a snack. Carrots can be eaten raw or cooked in almost any man-ner imaginable.

Carrots help to maintain acidic and alkaline prop-erties in the system. They provide important vitamins for eyes, skin, bones, heart and muscle health. Carrots also can act as a blood puri-fier, a diuretic and help to relieve flatulence or colic. The mineral content in car-rots lie very close to the skin and should not be peeled or scraped off.

When selecting carrots, make sure that they are a deep, rich color. The deeper the carrot’s color, the more beta-carotene it contains. If you’re buying the carrots with the leaves, select ones that they are moist and a bright green. Remove the carrot greenery as soon as possible because it robs the roots of moisture and vita-mins. You can eat the green tops in a salad or use them similar to the way that you’d use fresh herbs to sprinkle on a dish.

Carrots that are less than 8-inches long and rela- tively uniform in shape and size are the best selection. Carrots should not bend when gently tested. They also should be well-shaped,

firm and smooth with no cracks. They should not look wilted. When grated, carrots should be quite juicy.

Carrots are often sold with the tops removed. To judge the freshness, check the top of the carrot for darkening. Whether loose or in plas-

tic bags, avoid carrots with green shoots sprouting out (not to be confused with their green tops) yellowed tips, soft spots or withering, as these are a sign of age. Carrots that have an exces-sive amount of new sprouts or leaves could have large or woody cores. Also avoid car-rots with large green areas at or near their tops. This indi-cates sunburn damage.

Before storing carrots, remove their green tops, rinse, drain and put the car-rots in plastic bags. Store them in the coldest part of the refrigerator with the highest humidity, they’ll last several months this way. To keep the

carrots crisp and colorful, add a little bit of water in the bottom of the plastic storage bag; this will keep the car-rots hydrated. Carrots should be stored away from fruits such as apples, peaches and pears that release ethylene gas, which causes carrots to become bitter.

If carrots have become limp or dehydrated, cut off one of the ends and place the carrots, cut side down, in a bowl of ice water for about half an hour, to re-crisp them. The coarse, inner core of older carrots should be removed.

This Herb Carrot and Mushroom Loaf is an unusu-al way to serve carrots. It’s a great side dish with roasted meats or fish, and makes a delicious main course for vegetarians.

HERB CARROT AND WILD

MUSHROOM LOAF 1/4 cup butter, plus 3 tablespoons for buttering pan and topping loaf 1 cup chopped onions 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 1/2 cups grated carrots 2 cups sliced, wild mushrooms (crem- ini, shiitake, porcini or Portobello) 1/2 cup chopped celery 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 5 large eggs, lightly mixed 1 1/2 cups fresh, whole- wheat breadcrumbs 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.2. In a large skillet, melt

butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until gold-en. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add carrots, mushrooms, celery, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Pour carrot mixture into a large bowl. Add eggs to the bowl, and 1 cup of bread-crumbs and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Reserve remainder of breadcrumbs and cheese to sprinkle on the top of loaf. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

4. Spread the 2 tablespoons of the butter on the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 inch, oblong baking pan. Spread the carrot mixture into the pan. Sprinkle with remain-ing cheese and breadcrumbs. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, dot with the remaining table-spoon of butter, and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until brown on top. Makes 4 to 6 serv-ings.

Carrots — From Top to Bottom

After all is said and done, more is said than done.ARIES (March 21 to

April 19) Don’t waste your time and energy fretting over remarks you consider unnecessary or unkind. Best advice: Ignore them, and just keep doing your usual good job.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting that new per-spective on a workplace situ-ation could lead to a solution everyone will accept. Mean-while, make time to keep up with your creative pursuits.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those changes you planned to implement in ear-ly summer might need to be reassessed. But don’t make any moves until you’ve dis-cussed this with someone you trust.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor har-mony, making this a good time to work out problems in relationships — whether personal or professional, big or small. An old friend comes back.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) While you’re still rid-ing that high-powered beam, you might begin to lose focus by week’s end. Could be you’ll need to do a little cat-napping to restore your spent energies.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unex-pected development creates a lot of excitement. Where it takes you is your decision. Check out the possibilities, then decide if you want to go with it or not.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although your supporters help you squash

an unfair claim against you, don’t let this go unchal-lenged. You need to learn more about the motives of those behind it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some tasks to clear up by midweek. Then you can welcome the new month on a high note. A friend brings surprising but very welcome news.

SAGITTARIUS (Novem-ber 22 to December 21) You might want to change your plans before they’re set in cement. Consider advice from colleagues. But remem-ber that, ultimately, it’s your choice.

CAPRICORN (Decem-ber 22 to January 19) A dif-ficult situation is working itself out. Lingering prob-lems should be resolved by week’s end, allowing the Goat to enjoy a calmer, less stressful period.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Be careful not to move so quickly that you miss possible warning signs that could upset your plans. Slow down. Your sup-porters will continue to stand by you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your generosity in sharing your time and wis-dom with others leads to an intriguing development that could have you considering some interesting choices.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of influenc-ing people to be and do their best. You would make an excellent teacher.

• You probably know that the phrase “rack your brain” means to think hard, but did you ever wonder where the term originated? The rack being referred to is the medieval torture device on which victims were stretched, sometimes until limbs were dislocated. The idea is that when you’re thinking very hard, you’re undergoing a sort of mental torture.

SMOKE DETECTOR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

A: No, you cannot smell smoke while you sleep. In fact, the Carbon Monoxide present in the smoke will lull you into a deeper slumber.

A: YES! According to statistics from the National Fire Protection Association, you are twice as likely to survive a fire in your home if you have properly installed and maintained smoke detectors.

A: As a minimum, you should have at least one smoke detector on each level of your home, and outside each sleeping area. For added protection, install a smoke detector inside each sleeping area as well.

A: Make sure you buy a smoke detector that is listed by an independent testing laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL.) All listed smoke detectors on the market today provide adequate warning of fire.

A: The ceiling is the best location for the detector, but you can also mount it high on a wall. If you choose to mount it on the ceiling, make sure it is at least 4 inches away from the nearest wall. If you mount the detector on the wall, mount it so that the top of the detector is between 4 and 6 inches from the ceiling.

A: To ensure that you always have operable batteries in your smoke detector, it is recommended that you change the batteries twice a year. A good way to remember when to replace them is to change them when you change your clocks for daylight savings time. Use only the types of batteries recommend on the detector.

A: Yes. All smoke detectors, including hard wired ones, need to be replaced when they are 10 years old. After 10 years, the detectors may not operate properly in the event of a fire.

Cut the rind from the ham, leaving behind the fat. Score the fat diagonally using a sharp knife, about 1/2-3/4 inch deep. Stir together brown sugar, honey, ham drippings, and orange peel to make a glaze. Pour 1/3 of the glaze over the ham. Return pan to oven. Bake for another 45 minutes, basting the ham every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze. Brown the peach halves in a skillet with honey and butter. Arrange around ham to serve. Ham can also be decorated with slices of pineapple with cherries in the center for special occasions.

Furniture Polish

Q: I have several old-er pieces of furni-

ture in my home. They are mostly darker woods. Can you recommend a good polish? I just moved to a dry region and am afraid the pieces might begin cracking. — Art, Palm Desert, Calif.

A: My grandmother made her own fur-

niture polish, and I recom-mend it highly — if you can tolerate the turpentine smell. For her polish, take 1 cup of boiled linseed oil (which is how you buy it at the hardware store), add one cup of gum turpentine and one half cup of white vin-egar. Shake well. Use liber-ally on your furniture, wipe clean, repeat. After several weeks of using this polish, you will discover a nice, protective coat.

***

Q: I have a set of “Anheuser Busch

Budweiser Girls,” which are limited to 1,500 sets. I have No. 144. Each piece is hand-colored and fin-ished. Can you give me a value for this set? — Jean, Decatur, Ill.

A: I assume these are the “Budweiser Girls”

steins. If so, I found three of the steins on eBay for about $15 each. The complete set would be worth more. Incidentally, the first “Bud-weiser Girl” was introduced in 1883. The practice of using beautiful women to promote its beer has contin-ued to this day.

***

Q: I have a ceramic S t a f f o r d s h i r e

dog figurine. The label

on the bottom claims it is circa 1880. I would like an estimate of how much it is worth — a formal appraisal is not required. — Bill, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: I am not an appraiser and not qualified

to provide you with this service. Since you live in Albuquerque, I suggest you hire the services of a good certified appraiser. There are generally two types of appraisals, verbal and writ-ten. The verbal appraisal is less expensive.

***

Q: I recently inherit-ed a set of sterling

flatware. It is the Bridal Rose pattern by Alvin. Can you tell me when it was made? — Susan, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Your flatware was made in 1903. It

was one of the company’s most ornate patterns. Prices include dinner fork, $150; gravy ladle, $280; teaspoon, $150; and salad fork, $170.

Fighting ObesityDEAR PAW’S COR-

NER: My dog “Beaver,” a medium-size mutt of undetermined parentage, has a bit of a weight prob-lem. The veterinarian says he’s borderline obese. I’ve tried feeding him a lim-ited diet as the vet recom-mended, but he’s miser-able. What else can I do to help him slim down? — Clark D., Seattle

DEAR CLARK: Helping a pet lose weight can be dif-ficult. Like us humans, it’s the lifestyle as well as diet that make it easier to pack on the pounds. So, beyond just feeding Beaver less, his daily activities have to change significantly too.

For the next two weeks, carry a notepad around with you. When you feed Beaver, jot down what and how much he ate. When you walk him, note how far or for how long the walk was, whether he was energetic or not, and whether you two played fetch or ran around off the leash, and so on.

Then, review those notes.

You’ll see a pattern of activ-ity and diet there — and you’ll be better informed and aware than even your dog’s veterinarian is. Armed with that information you can add to Beaver’s activ-ity level, extend his walks, spend more time playing his favorite games. Combining an increased activity level with the special diet the vet recommended will help your dog lose weight.

The biggest benefit to this increased activity will be the improved relationship you develop with Beaver. He’ll no longer just be a lov-able dog lounging around the house; with a few weeks of regular activity, I predict both of you will look for-ward to those longer walks and play times.

Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com. Did you know mosquitoes can trans-mit heartworm larvae to dogs, but fleas don’t? Find out more in my new book, “Fighting Fleas,” avail-able now on Amazon.

Tulipsare not actually Dutch in origin - both the flower and the name are from the Ottoman Empire. It is indigenous to Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, and other areas in Central Asia. The name has Turkish origins, tracing from the word for “gauze”, and is similar to the Turkish word for “turban”.

It’s unclear exactly how the flower was brought to Western Europe, but it was during the 1500s, most likely by a Spanish ambassador to Turkey. It was studied and cultivated extensively in the later part of the century, primarily in The Netherlands. During the 1600s, the popularity of the tulip skyrocketed - the bulbs were even used as a form of currency for awhile.

ARIES: This entire week brings about a calm from the previous three to four weeks with planets changing their transiting sojourn from your home sign to transiting through Taurus. Emotions tend to run high within in your intuition as indicated by transiting Uranus through the twenty seventh; self responsibility is indicated. The twenty third through the twenty sixth indicate the possibility of passionate life memories from the past and/or doors to new passions arising.

TAURUS: The Sun is now fully transiting through your home sign indicating a sense of empowerment. Keep in mind some of sense may be an illusion with these transits; engaging brain prior to taking any action prior to the twenty seventh is indicated. The twenty fourth through the twenty seventh indicates a rekindling of romance within a current romantic relationship. Single Taurus may unite with their life lasting romantic partner now; self responsibility to act upon this is indicated- versus testing.GEMINI: The twenty first through the twenty third indicates a moment(s) to spend time with those within your romance and inner circles.

Transits indicate a great time to achieve completion with any unfinished projects around the home front and/or the homes of those within your inner circle. The twenty third through the twenty fifth abounds with indecision or decisiveness- the choice is yours; self responsibility is indicated. The Full Moon on the twenty-fifth may opens door to your inner “dreams; prayers; burning desires” through week’s completion. The choice for possible initiation or completion is yours.VIRGO: The twenty first through the twenty third opens many doors to unfulfilled dreams and aspirations. Self responsibility to see the desired accomplishment(s) is from within your inner decisions and actions- not from outside of you. The twenty third through the first half of the twenty fifth is indicated to bring about quality and harmony where you see the need- waiting for others may bring about inner disappointment. The twenty-fifth through week’s duration may open doors to available passions. LIBRA: The twenty first through the twenty third indicates a time for rest and personal enjoyment; where others are involved within your life- invite them to join you with activities and actions of your choosing.

The Full Moon on the twenty fifth highlights your inner desires and passions through weeks conclusion. Self responsibility with allowance is indicated. SCORPIO: Keeping your temperament in check is indicated for the twenty first. The twenty second and twenty third indicate a time for rest and quiet times with family and/or friends.

The twenty fifth through week’s duration opens many doors of possibilities. A Moon Child is highlighted for single Scorpios. SAGITTARIUS: Temperaments may run high through mid morning of the twenty-fifth; self responsibility is indicated in order to keep the peace and desired outcomes within all of life’s sectors. A person with authority, within a work or career situation, which has previously given you a great amount of leniency, may surprise you by “yanking your chain” in favor or support for another.

Passions and Romance are in the forefront from the twenty fifth through week’s completion.CAPRICORN: Flexibility; kindness and non-financial generosity are indicated from you towards others and self from the twenty first through the twenty fourth. Consideration for balance is indicated through mid morning on the twenty fifth; a father; grandfather; and/or authoritative figure may come center stage in your life at this time. Passions and/or passionate energies may peak new heights from the twenty fifth through week’s completion. Another Capricorn or Moon Child is Highlighted.AQUARIUS: Transits indicate you may fuel the fires of others on the twenty-first. The catch may be- making sure you have the capability to put these fires out prior to acting as a catalyst for igniting them. The home front, yours, and the homes of those within your inner circle are highlighted through the twenty fifth. The twenty fifth through week’s completion indicates a time for inspiring others in (small) groups. A life coach or life coach position may come into play; self responsibility is indicated. PISCES: The twenty first creates energies which may be utilized for your highest and best- as well as for all others around you. Transits from the twenty first through the twenty fifth create energies which allow you to incorporate these qualities ( which may seem foreign to you ) along with inner and outer balance during any action(s) made by you. The twenty fifth through week’s duration could bring about innovative thought processes and/or answers which may allow you to make definitive decisions.

Paint Like a Pro

Q: Hi, first-time paint-er here. My dad

offered some advice to my roommate and I on paint-ing our apartment, such as putting down drop-cloths and stirring the paint really well. Is there any other key information we need so we do a good job? The landlord won’t be happy if we mess it up! — Keri C., Tallahassee, Fla.

A: Preparation is the biggest part of paint-

ing. It can be maddening getting everything ready to paint, but if you do it right, putting down each coat is really satisfying. Here are some key points:

• Get clearance from the landlord or building man-agement before painting. Just as importantly, pay attention to and follow any specific instructions, such as which colors to use.

• Prepare the room(s): Remove as much furniture and stuff as possible. Move what’s left to the center of the room and cover with dropcloths or old sheets. Cover floors or carpets with overlapping dropcloths.

• Prepare the walls: Take down pictures and carefully remove nails and screws; fill the small holes with spackling compound and let dry for 24 hours before sanding smooth.

• Remove cover plates from wall switches and out-lets; cover window and door hardware with plastic or remove the hardware (if it’s easy to put back on). Cover light fixtures with plastic shopping bags and secure with masking tape.

• Brush away loose plas-ter, cobwebs, dirt and peel-

ing paint. Sand bumpy areas smooth using fine-grit sandpaper. Wash the walls with a sponge dampened in a light soap-and-water mix or wall-cleaning product, and let dry.

• Use blue painter’s tape (which is less sticky than masking tape) to mask off window and door trim, and other areas where you don’t want paint to go.

• Assemble all the stuff you need to paint: Not just brushes and rollers, but paint trays, stirring sticks (usually available free with paint purchase) and old rags or towels for cleanup.

• Save money not by pick-ing the cheapest paint, but by purchasing the exact amount you need. How to do that? Measure the square footage of each wall (length times height) and total the numbers.

• Use primer if you don’t know what type of paint is on the walls, or if you’re covering glossy paint with matte paint or vice versa, or if the old paint is darker than the new paint.

Once prepped, you’re ready to paint! Start high and work on one wall at a time. Use a foam edger or a brush to paint a border about 3 inches wide where the wall meets the ceiling. Then start rolling on paint, using a “W” pattern in various directions until the wall is covered. Once the walls are done, paint the trim, win-dows and finally the doors, if you’re painting them.

Send questions or home tips to ask@thisisaham-mer.com. My new e-book, “101 Best Home Tips,” is available to download on Amazon Kindle! Pick it up it today for just 99 cents.

Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’sIf you’re a Vietnam veter-

an, the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study might need your help. It’s been doing a clinical trial about Alzheimer’s disease in Vietnam veterans who have traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with or without any symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

It wants to learn how pre-vious injuries affect veterans as they age, which will help those injured in Afghani-stan and Iraq. Researchers will be able to identify vet-erans who are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s dis-ease, and create preventive treatments. It sounds very worthwhile.

The study, called Brain Aging in Vietnam War Vet-erans by the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Ini-tiative, will take place at ADNI locations at 19 uni-versities and research cen-ters in 11 states.

During the clinical trial, researchers will study changes in the brain scans, cognitive tests and cerebro-spinal fluid. Three separate groups will be studied: Vietnam veterans with TBI

but without PTSD, and hav-ing mild cognitive impair-ment; Vietnam veterans with PTSD but no TBI or cognitive impairment; and control-group Vietnam vet-erans with no TBI or PTSD who are comparable in age.

Basic criteria:—Men and women 50 to

90 years of age.—Must live within 150

miles of testing site.—If receiving VA disabil-

ity payments, they must be for something other than TBI or PTSD, or no disabil-ity at all.

There are specific criteria for TBI and PTSD, as well as medical condition exclu-sions, so refer to the infor-mation at www.clinicaltri-als.gov (see trial identifier NCT01687153).

For more information, email Jacqueline.Hayes@va.gov, or call 1-415-221-4810, extension 4593. To find out more about eligi-bility criteria and locations, call 1-800-438-4380.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS

� Average number of people airborne over the U.S. at any given hour: 61,000

� Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

� Iceland consumes more Coca-Cola per capita than any other nation.

� First novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.

� A duck’s quack doesn’t echo, and no one knows why.

� If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have 1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.

Tax Changes for 2013

Now that the 2012 tax season has wrapped up, it’s time to take a look at the changes that have been made to income taxes for 2013.

• 401(k): Individuals now can contribute up to $17,500.

• Increased deduction for Social Security: For two years, taxpayers got a small reprieve when the deduction went from 6.2 percent down to 4.2 percent in a temporary tax cut. Now that additional 2 percent is back. Before too much more time goes by in 2013, be certain your calculations and deductions are correct.

If you had a child leave home and he or she is no lon-ger a dependent, your over-all figures will change. If you have multiple jobs, are getting married or divorced, buying a house, having a baby, or usually have a balance due or get a large refund, your tax situation will change and you might need to fill out a revised W-4 with your employer.

• If you’re in a high-income bracket ($400,000 single or $450,000 married filing jointly), your taxes are going up from 35 per-cent to 39.6 percent.

• Mileage rates have changed: Use of a car for business is now 56.5 cents per mile, medical miles are now 24 cents per mile and driving for charitable orga-

nizations stays the same at 14 cents per mile.

• Section 179: For assets acquired in 2013, the deduc-tion is up to $500,000.

• Home-office deduction: If you’re self-employed, the home-office deduc-tion changes for 2013 will impact you. In the past, tax-payers have had one choice in claiming the deduction: Do multiple calculations involving mortgage inter-est, utilities, property taxes paid, square feet of space used, insurance and so on. Now, beginning in 2013 and reportable in 2014, there is a simplified version.

All that will be required now is to multiply the square footage used for business times $5 per square foot, up to a maximum of 300 square feet. That space must still be used strictly for business — regular and exclusive use, and as your principal place of busi-ness. The total of Schedule A home-related deductions will go on the Schedule A and not be divided with the home office deduction.

Additionally, there won’t be any depreciation or recapture when you sell your home down the road. Consult the IRS website (www.irs.gov) for Home Office Deduction and navi-gate to the section about the changes for 2013.

Make any necessary adjustments now so you don’t get caught short next April.
