TIDBITS® CATCHES SOME

Z-Z-Z’Sby Kathy Wolfe

It’s something that you do every single day of your existence, but how much do you really know about sleep? Tidbits has some lesser-known facts about one of life’s necessities – shut-eye! • When you’re asleep, your body may be resting

but your brain certainly isn’t! It remains hard at work constantly giving orders to the body’s vari-ous systems to keep it breathing, pumping blood, and digesting. Short-term memories are recorded in the brain during sleep. Did you know that sleeping shortly after learning something new will actually improve your ability to remember it?

• Rapid eye movement, or REM sleep, is character-ized by rapid and random movement of the eyes and accounts for about 25% of a total night’s sleep, 90 to 120 minutes. Prior to that are stages of light sleep, when our eye movements stop and brain waves are extremely slow. The first period of REM occurs about 90 minutes after a person falls asleep and lasts about 10 minutes. A sleeper will experience about four or five periods of REM, with each lengthening toward morning. Brain activity is heightened and this is the time of intense dreaming.

Z-Z-Z’S (continued):• Sleep deprivation has numerous negative effects

on the body’s functions and well-being. A recent Harvard study has tied insufficient or irregular sleep to an increased risk for colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease in those who slept less than six hours a night. A shortage of sleep can put the body into a state of “high alert,” which can drive up blood pressure, putting a person at risk for heart attack and stroke. Just one extra hour a night can decrease your heart attack risk by 33%. And consider what that extra sleep will do for your family, social, and work relationships when you are less irritable, impatient, anxious, and de-pressed!

• Lack of sufficient sleep can even lead to obesity! The hormones leptin and ghrelin are instrumental in controlling feelings of hunger and fullness. In-adequate sleep can increase production of ghrelin, which stimulates the appetite, raising the sensa-tion of hunger by as much as 25%. Leptin signals the brain when the body is full, but not enough shut-eye drives leptin levels down. Combine these two and it’s a recipe for obesity.

• Even an increase in wrinkles can occur when you don’t get enough rest. Your body releases extra cortisol, the “stress hormone” when you don’t get enough rest. Cortisol breaks down the skin’s collagen, that substance that maintains skin’s elasticity.

• It’s a little alarming to know that 23% of com-mercial airline pilots admit that sleep deprivation affects their performance at least once a week. One-fifth of those surveyed disclosed that they have made serious mistakes as a result. Fourteen percent of truck drivers confess a “near miss” due to lack of sleep, while 44% of them say they never or rarely get enough sleep on work nights.

• On Oct. 12, 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus reaches the New World. Columbus, and most others, underestimated the world’s size. The expedition probably first landed at Watling Island in the Bahamas. Columbus later sighted Cuba, which he thought was mainland China.• On Oct. 10, 1845, The United States Naval Academy opens in Annapolis, Md., with 50 mid-shipmen students and seven professors. Known as the Naval School until 1850, the curriculum included mathematics and navigation, gunnery and steam, chemistry, English, natural philosophy and French.• On Oct. 8, 1871, flames spark in the Chicago barn of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary, igniting a two-day blaze that kills hundreds of people, de-stroys 17,450 buildings and leaves 100,000 home-less. Legend has it that the fire started when a cow kicked over a lantern in the O’Leary barn.• On Oct. 9, 1936, harnessing the power of the mighty Colorado River, the Hoover Dam begins sending electricity over 266 miles of transmission lines to Los Angeles. The central reason for the dam, however, was the collection, preservation and distribution of water.• On Oct. 7, 1943, Rear Adm. Shigematsu Sakai-bara, commander of the Japanese garrison on Wake Island, orders the execution of 96 Americans POWs, claiming they were trying to make radio contact with U.S. forces. The execution of those POWs remains one of the more brutal episodes of the war in the Pacific.• On Oct. 13, 1953, the world’s first art museum on wheels, the Artmobile, opens in Fredericks-burg, Va., carrying 16 paintings by 15th- and 16th-century masters. Today, there are dozens of Artmobile-inspired museums on wheels in cities and towns across the United States and around the world.• On Oct. 11, 1975, “Saturday Night Live,” a topi-cal comedy sketch show featuring Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman, makes its debut on NBC. It would go on to become the longest-running, highest-rated show on late-night television.(c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

By JoAnn Derson• With holidays on the way, money is getting tight

in my household. This is a fun, creative way to save a bit of cash: Plan a no-spend weekend every month, where you don’t spend any money on your activities. Challenge your children to help you plan it, or take turns finding activities. -- JoAnn

• “To keep my sharp kitchen scissors in the kitchen, I tied a long piece of yarn to the handle and at-tached it to the handle of the drawer I keep them in. Now, those scissors get used in the kitchen, or nowhere!” -- J.J. in Florida

• Remove scuff marks from hard-surface floors (wood, linoleum, tile) with a clean tennis ball. If your floor has many scuffs, you can poke a hole in the tennis ball and insert it on the top of your broom handle. When you hit a scuff, flip your broom over and rub. Most come off right away!

• “Buy pretty dishtowels and tablecloths on clear-ance and clip them on curtain rods for a quick window treatment.” -- T.C. in Texas

• Here’s a great, natural solution for tightening your facial pores, and it feels wonderful on tired skin, too. Start by brewing a cup of rosehip tea and pouring it into an ice-cube tray to freeze. When it’s all frozen, take out a cube. Wrap it inside of a washcloth, and wet just the spot where the cube is. Then, rub it over your face.

• “My kids use rewards charts for chores and good behavior, etc. I used to get some little toys at the dollar store for rewards, but I ended up at the local thrift store one day and noticed that there were plenty of nice, small toys that were actu-ally cheaper than at the dollar store! Plus, they are getting one more use, and that’s good for the environment!” -- A.K. in Pennsylvania

Z-Z-Z’S (continued):• Staying awake for just 17 hours leads to decreased

performance equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.05%. No sleep for 21 hours is comparable to 0.08% blood alcohol content.

• How do you know if you’re sleep deprived? A sure sign is if it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep at night. The optimum amount of time is between 10 and 15 minutes. Other symptoms include irritability, nervousness, and inability to tolerate stress, and problems with concentration and memory. You might also notice blurred vi-sion, hand tremors, or a change in appetite.

• We each have an internal “master clock” in our brains that coordinates the rhythm of our body’s functions. Known as the “circadian clock,” it is affected by external environmental factors, with light as the main factor influencing our 24-hour circadian cycle. These rhythms influence our sleep cycles, hormone release, and body tempera-ture, and function best with a normal light-dark cycle. This master clock controls the productions of the hormone melatonin, the one that makes us sleepy. When there is less light, the clock tells the brain to produce more melatonin, resulting in drowsiness. When a person’s work hours are scheduled during the normal sleep period, it’s difficult to stay awake, but it can also be a health risk. It’s believed that melatonin protects the body against cancer. For those who are exposed to light at night, melatonin levels are reduced, and researchers believe those people are more prone to colon and breast cancer.

• Studies indicate that the risk of cardiovascular disease declines significantly when a person regularly sleeps seven hours a night.

High-Tech Relief for Winter BluesMany of us don’t want to do too much outdoors dur-ing cold weather, but there are plenty of ways to stay busy. High-tech devices can come to the rescue!Here are a few ideas:--Learn a foreign language online. Check OpenCulture.com and look for courses developed by Yale or Carnegie Mellon. Look at www.bbc.co.uk/languages/ if you want to brush up on a language you already know. This one is very well done with videos. Do the lessons with a friend.--Learn how a new electronic gadget works. There are many to choose from. I’m surprised, as are those who know me, but I’m enjoying my Kindle, an e-reader. I’m a diehard book lover, but I’m running out of space for more shelves. The Kindle holds thousands of books, is easy to carry, the text is expandable to huge sizes if necessary, the battery lasts a long time, and on Amazon.com there are lots of free books to get started. To enjoy books on an electronic device, it doesn’t need to be a Kindle. Amazon has free apps (little software applications) for a number of e-reader devices, such as iPad and Android tablets. Check your local library, too, for free book lending on your e-reader. It might even have devices you can check out and sample.--If you have a Roku that streams programs to your television, you might have missed the hundreds of free channels available. Look in the channel store for Pub-D-Hub for vintage commercials, movies, cartoons and more. Check the Lecture Kings chan-nel for course seminars from Yale University and Missouri State, as well as audio books of the clas-sics. Sit in on recorded seminars on the MIT Open Courseware channel.Once you get started, you might even decide to try other high-tech toys!

• One of the former Duchesses of Windsor, when asked to reveal the secret to a long and happy life, replied, “Fill what’s empty, empty what’s full and scratch where it itches.”• You might be surprised to learn that Italians spend more time on social media than people of any other nationality.• In medieval times in Great Britain, those accused of a crime could prove their innocence (or guilt) in trial by battle. This law was unused and nearly for-gotten for centuries. Then, in 1817, a man named Abraham Thornton was charged with murder in the death of a young woman named Mary Ash-ford. The evidence against Thornton was nearly overwhelming, but he claimed the right to trial by battle against his accuser. Since the law was still on the books, the court decided it had no choice but to grant his request. Thornton’s accuser was William Ashford, the victim’s brother, but since he declined to appear on the field of battle, Thornton was freed. Shortly thereafter, trail by battle was officially abolished in the country.• Cats can bark, too. • With 1.45 million lightning strikes per year, Florida experiences more lightning than any other state in the country. Central Florida is unofficially known as the Lightning Capital of the World.• If you’re like 70 percent of Americans, you hate the idea of your parents moving in with you, ac-cording to a recent survey. However, if those sur-vey respondents had to have one parent move in with them, two out of three would choose Mom over Dad.

Z-Z-Z’S (continued):• It’s estimated that sleeplessness contributes to one

in six fatal highway accidents. It seems that men are more likely than women to drive while drowsy and twice as likely as women to fall asleep while driving. Also related to gender, women need about an hour more sleep per night, yet are twice as likely to have insomnia. Unfortunately, the loss of that hour, coupled with stress level, biological stages, and responsibilities makes them more prone to depression.

• A lack of sleep decreases your attention and con-centration and inhibits the cementing of memo-ries, so that you cannot remember what you learn from day to day. A scientific study has determined that a 60 to 90 minute nap can be as beneficial as a full night’s sleep for learning a new skill. A “power nap” can improve alertness, creativity, productivity, motor skills, and accuracy, as well as reduce stress and risk of heart attack, and aid in weight loss.

• What about those folks who never seem to need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? These individuals are awakened by the release of a stress hormone called adrencorticotrophin as they un-consciously anticipate the stress of waking up.

• If you’re one of those who kicks and punches while asleep, you are more susceptible to neurological disease. Experts say that “violent sleepers” have a 50% chance of developing Parkinson’s Disease or dementia and should consult a neurologist to diagnose the problem.

• If you think that drinking coffee will help you stay awake, consider that those folks who drink four or more caffeinated beverages on a daily basis have a higher risk for sleep apnea.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special some-one. You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situa-tion with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a dif-ficult decision.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feel-ings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A col-league could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with co-workers. Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an impor-tant opportunity.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to oth-ers. Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might think it would be best to reject a sugges-tion others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Chang-ing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate.BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for them-selves.(c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

DONNA’S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUNBy Donna EricksonGum-Wrapper Beads on a ShoestringThe big kids are off to school and the younger ones are looking for their own fun. Here’s the antidote. Look around your home with your kids, and find things that could, with a little imagina-tion, be used for something other than their intended use. Talk about what you can do with the items, then get creating. Here’s a fun idea to get the kids started. Save foil liners from sticks of gum, root in the food cupboard for rigatoni noodles, and then grab some household glue, an old magazine and yesterday’s newspaper. What do they all have in common? Beads! Here are two bead-making ideas for creative fun and recycled “style.”Gum-Wrapper Rigatoni BeadsSave eight to 10 standard-size (1 3/4 inch by 3 1/2 inch) foil wrappers from sticks of gum, such as Wrigley’s Extra gum. Spread them out flat on your work surface. To make each bead, dab or lightly brush a small amount of household glue on the paper side of a foil wrapper. Set a large 1 1/2 inch long uncooked rigatoni noodle on one short end of the wrapper, then roll and wrap the paper around the noodle. Add a bit more glue to the overlapping side and tuck the edges inside. Press around the noodle to reveal its pattern. Continue covering eight to 10 noodles. Let dry.String the beads on a thick shoestring, with wooden beads between the gum-wrapper beads. A bright-red shoestring with red wooden beads looks especially nice with the silver beads. Tie a knot, and it’s ready to wear for a necklace.Traditional Paper BeadsTear out illustrated pages from a magazine or save a page from the Sunday comics in your newspaper. Cut the paper into long, narrow triangles approximately 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide at the broad end. To form each bead, carefully roll the triangle around a pencil, beginning with the broad end of the triangle and ending with the pointed end. Glue the point to the rolled paper. Remove the pencil. Continue making enough beads for a necklace. String the paper beads on yarn, thin ribbon or string. Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

(NAPSA)-With so many super hero movies in theaters these days, many kids are likely to have superpowers on their minds. The notion of an ordinary, vulnerable person able to transform into a hero with superhuman abilities seems to be highly appealing to young chil-dren. Playing super heroes can do wonders for children’s creativity as they think up scenarios to rescue imagi-nary friends, pets and toys in danger and create imagi-nary worlds where anything is possible. Since suspen-sion of disbelief is seldom a problem for youngsters, this creative play can inspire way more than one or two fun afternoons. While that dreamed-up play is great exercise for the brain, boosting the ability to plan and focus, super hero creative activities can also be used to start serious conversations be_tween a parent and child, introducing important concepts for kids who may be grappling with how to make sense of a big, complex world.Questions such as what makes someone good or how can you be like a super hero without having magic powers can lead to a discussion of super hero qualities such as selflessness, self-discipline, bravery and fair-mindedness-traits that many say exemplify the best

of humanity. Likewise, discussing what makes someone bad can open up awareness about im_pulses that children also experi-ence from time to time and ways to deal with them. For younger children, Disney’s new movie “Super Buddies” (on Blu-ray and DVD) can make a great conversation starter espe-cially because it’s high on humor and low on scary violence. The super heroes in this comedy are adorable talking puppies who get transformed into caped crusaders and learn to unleash their amazing abilities as they race to the rescue of the planet when it’s threatened by a shape-shifting bully from outer space. The movie is packed with laughs and each puppy has character traits that help illustrate that when you use your wits and work together, you don’t need superpowers to be a super hero.Some of the basic wisdom the Super Buddies learn includes:• Doing good in the world is truly admirable, and it

often takes courage and determination.• Brains sometimes work better than brawn.

• Keep trying, even if things don’t work out right away.

• Be flexible, physically and mentally. • Use humor whenever possible; it has its own su-

perpower. • You don’t have to act alone to save the day. Team-

work can often be most effective and fun.• Anyone can achieve hero status. It’s not neces-

sary to be born with superpowers to become a hero.

The adorable Super Buddies save the world and learn some valuable lessons in a new movie.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

JACKIE KENNEDYOne of the most popular and beloved First Ladies in American history, Jacqueline Kennedy was a symbol of style and elegance. Learn more about the life of a member of one of America’s most famous families. • Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was the first First

Lady to be born in a hospital. The daughter of a wealthy stockbroker, Jackie experienced a privileged childhood full of ballet lessons, French lessons, and equestrian training and events. At age 15, she was enrolled at the prestigious Miss Porter’s School, a Connecticut boarding school established in 1843 that stressed demanding academic courses, as well as proper manners and social skills. During her senior year, Jackie was named “Debutante of the Year” by the local news-paper.

• Jackie’s choice of college was Vassar with studies in history, literature, art, and French, spending her junior year studying in Paris. Following a transfer to George Washington University and subsequent graduation, she took a job at the Washington Times-Herald photographing and interviewing local citizens. One of her final assignments with the paper was covering the coronation of Queen Elizabeth.

• Jackie met Massachusetts senator-elect John F. Kennedy at a 1952 dinner party after he “leaned across the asparagus and asked her for a date.” They were married the following year.

• Although she always wished to write a novel, instead she encouraged her husband to write Profiles in Courage, which she helped him edit, a book that won the Pulitzer Prize.

JACKIE KENNEDY (continued):• Jackie suffered a miscarriage in 1955, and de-

livered a stillborn daughter, Arabella in 1956. Daughter Caroline was born the following year. In 1960, John Kennedy was elected the 35th presi-dent of the United States, and three weeks later their son John, Jr. was born.

• Shortly after the inauguration, Jackie began her famous project of redecorating the White House and historically restoring the public rooms, hunt-ing down furnishings that had been removed from the White House. She was awarded an Emmy for her TV special highlighting the tour of the White House following the restoration. Jackie hosted many fine cultural events at the Executive Man-sion – performances of opera, ballet, Shakespeare, and jazz. She had an elegant sense of style, and her fashions set trends around the world.

• Jackie was 34 years old in 1963 when her husband was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dal-las, Texas. She had experienced the death of her three-day-old son just three months before. After spending several months in Washington following his death, she moved to New York City to estab-lish the John F. Kennedy Library.

• In 1968, Jackie married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who was 23 years her senior, and the couple split their time among homes in Athens and Skorpios Island, Greece, and Paris. Seven years later, she was a widow once again.

• As a widow in her mid-40s, Jackie returned to the literary world, taking a job as an editor with Viking Press, later moving over to Doubleday Books. At age 64, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She gave up her three-pack-a-day smoking habit and cut back on her work schedule at Doubleday, but the cancer continued spread. Just four months after her diag-nosis, she passed away. She is buried in Arlington National Cemetery next to JFK, their son Patrick and daughter Arabella.

HOLLYWOOD -- Dwayne Johnson jumped from the wrestling world into movie theaters, setting the box office afire with five films this year. They were: “Snitch,” with Oscar-winner Susan Sa-randon ($165.6 million); “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” with Bruce Willis and Channing Tatum ($372 million); “Pain and Gain,” with Mark Wahlberg ($70.8 million); “Fast & Furious 6,” with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker ($788 million); and the recently opened “Empire State,” with Liam Hemsworth. Next year he’ll star in “Hercules: The Thracian Wars,” with Joseph Fiennes, Ian McShane and John Hurt; and “Fast & Furious 7,” with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham and Kurt Russell. This year, Johnson took on a reality show with “The Hero” and will next star in a weekly series with the reboot of “The Fall Guy,” which ran from 1981-1986, starring Lee Majors. Johnson’s future looks “Rock” solid.Tommy Lee Jones, four-time Oscar-nominee and a winner for “The Fugitive” (1993), will write, direct and star in a remake of John Wayne’s classic Western “The Cowboys,” about a rancher training a group of boys to herd his cattle to market. He recently directed and starred with three-time Oscar-winner Meryl Streep and two-time winner Hillary Swank in “The Homesman,” due out next year.Lifetime achievement Oscars are going to Angela Lansbury, who has won five Tony Awards, six Golden Globes and was Oscar nominated three times, for best supporting actress in “Gaslight” (1945), “The Picture of Dorian Gray” (1946) and “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962), but never won the coveted little golden man. Also receiving the honor is Steve Martin, who was never nominated for an Oscar but hosted the award show three times. Also sharing the honors is costume designer Piero Tosi, a five-time Oscar nomi-nee for collaborating with legendary Italian director Luchino Visconti on “Rocco and His Brothers,” “The Leopard,” “Death in Venice” and “Ludwig,” as well as a nomination for “La Cage Aux Folles.” The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award will be presented to Angelina Jole at the 5th Annual Governor’s Awards on Nov. 16.Is it time for another Elvis biofilm? This one is called “Last Train to Memphis” and will be about how he started and how he managed to adjust to fame and fortune. Director Kevin MacDonald won an Oscar for the documentary “One Day in September” (2000) and made the 2001 documentary “Being Mick,” about Mick Jagger, who has been named as one of the producers. “Boardwalk Empire’s” Jack Huston, “Gossip Girl’s” Ed Westwick and Zac Efron have been suggested to play Elvis. And you thought Elvis had “left the building.”(c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

COUCH THEATER -- DVD PREVIEWSBy Sam StruckhoffEDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of Oct. 7, 2013.PICKS OF THE WEEK“Much Ado About Nothing” (PG-13) -- Shot on a shoe-string budget in less than two weeks, the best romantic com-edy of the summer almost looks like a home video project. It sort of is: Joss Whedon (yes, the director of “The Aveng-ers”) directed this Shakespearean adaptation around his California home. The modern setting, costumes and black-and-white filter give the story a film-noir feel -- which goes perfectly with the pithy back-and-forth of Shakespeare’s original text. The plot follows an evil scheme to discredit a fair young lady and stir up chaos between families. However, two attractive singles who out-wardly hate each other -- all while being oblivious to the sexual tension between them -- hijack the plot. You don’t have to pretend to like this just to make your English teacher happy; it’s actually enjoyable.“The Purge” (R) -- In a dystopian future, far far away, society has gotten so screwed up that we give a free pass to all crimes for one night every year. This night is called the Purge, and only rich folks have the means to protect themselves from the chaos. Or so they think. Ethan Hawke’s family is targeted by a particularly persistent bunch of masked bandits who want to lynch a man they let into their fortified home. The movie takes that odd little premise and tries to load a lot of social commentary on top. It’s just not sturdy enough to hold. “Monty Python’s the Meaning of Life” (R) -- Now making its Blu-ray release, it’s the bluest of the Monty Python movies. Across several bizarre vignettes, the film ponders the meaning of life through an absurdist lens. Most of the bits can’t be discussed in much detail here, just know that this movie is the most offbeat and ridiculous film in a franchise of weirdos. It also has the catchiest songs. DOG OF THE WEEK“After Earth” (PG-13) -- In this father-son snorefest, Will Smith plays the coolest Space Ranger in space as Cypher Raige (cool name, bro!), while his 14-year-old son Jaden plays the less-talented Space Ranger, Ktai Raige. It’s been 1,000 years since humans migrated off the earth for the welcoming embrace of space. Smith and son’s spaceship crash lands on the now-hostile planet earth, leaving audiences with daunting task of watching Will Smith remotely guide his son through a tedious jungle adventure.The movie is produced, written and funded by Will Smith, his family and friends. So nobody was around to tell them how lame this was. The only outside talent they got was the director: M. Night Shyamalan. Yeesh.(c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

VEGETARIANSIt’s estimated that about 3.2% of the U.S. popula-tion are vegetarians. There are many reasons that folks choose to abstain from meat – let’s examine some of the information about those who like to veg out! • While some people opt for vegetarianism out of

respect for animals’ rights, others have health-related or religious reasons. Motivation might also be cultural, environmental, or economic. The practice has its roots in ancient India, where they based the tradition on nonviolence toward animals. There are more vegetarians in India than in any other country, claiming 70% of the world’s vegetarians. The ancient Hellenes and Egyptians cited medical purposes and purifica-tion rituals for the practice. A Buddhist vegetar-ian abstains from not only animal products but all vegetables in the Allium family, including onions, garlic, leeks, chives, and shallots. They find the odor of these offensive and believe the “anger up the blood.”

• The 6th-century Greek philosopher and mathema-tician Pythagoras was one of the first famous vegetarians, and those of his era were actually called Pythagoreans. He believed that nonvio-lence toward animals was the first step toward the same among humans. In his words, “For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.”

• The word “vegetarian” was coined in the 19th century, and England was home to the world’s first Vegetarian Society, formed in 1847 to dem-onstrate that it was possible to live a healthy life without eating meat.

• Some cultures are primarily vegetarian due to poverty. A large percentage of those populations are poor farmers who cannot afford meat and subsist on beans, peppers, legumes, and grains.

A Smart Calorie Swap(NAPSA)-For many people, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a busy schedule can be a challenge. Fortunately, seafood is a delicious yet simple way to serve up protein, omega-3s and flavor without a lot of effort...or extra calories. “When you’re watching your waistline, seafood is a smart calorie swap,” says Sylvia Melendez-Klinger, Registered Dietitian. “It’s important to find low-calorie options that will help keep you fuller longer, while not sacrificing taste.”

Seafood makes a flavorful, nutritious meal due to its versatility and can often have fewer calories than other protein options. For example, Gorton’s Seafood offers 20 seafood varieties with 200 calories or fewer per serving. Simply Bake Tilapia, Skillet Crisp Shrimp, and Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi are quick to prepare and tasty to consume. Pair each with a side salad of mixed greens or use in classic favorites such as tacos for a well-bal-anced and enjoyable meal. The next time you’re looking for something nu-tritious and delicious to cook, you can check out www.gortons.com for hundreds of recipes that make seafood substitutions simple.

Gorton’s Skillet Crisp Shrimp brings delicious new flavor to tacos.

VEGETARIANS (continued):• Founding father Benjamin Franklin followed

a vegetarian diet for much of his life. Franklin believed that the diet was not only healthier, the money he saved on expensive meat could be spent on books. He is credited with introducing tofu to America around 1770.

• Vegetarians can’t all be lumped together in one group, since their preferences differ so widely. A strict vegan diet is completely plant-based and excludes animal products of any kind, including eggs and dairy, and even beeswax and honey. An ovo-vegetarian eats eggs, but not dairy products. A lacto-vegetarian includes dairy products in their diet, but not eggs. An ovo-lacto vegetarian eats both eggs and dairy. If you’re a pescetarian, you are a vegetarian who eats all plant-based foods, dairy, eggs, and fish.

• There seem to be many health benefits associ-ated with vegetarianism. The American Dietetic Association reports that vegetarians have a lower Body Mass Index, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, less Type 2 diabetes, lower rates of hypertension, and less incidences of prostrate and colon cancer. Studies indicate that a low-fat, high-fiber plant-based diet also decreases the risk of developing gallstones. Some research shows that a vegetarian diet increases the body’s me-tabolism, enabling the body to burn calories at a faster rate than a meat-based diet.

• More people can be fed on a vegetarian diet than a meat-based one. One acre of land can yield about 20,000 lbs. (9,072 kg) of potatoes whereas only about 165 lbs. (75 kg) of beef can be produced on that same acre. Only 20% of America’s corn is eaten by humans, with the remainder consumed by livestock. Livestock eat 95% of the oats grown in the U.S.

The best response when caught sleeping at your desk at work: “... and I especially want to thank you for my excellent boss. Amen.”

CELEBRITY EXTRABy Cindy ElavskyQ: One of my favorite shows is AMC’s “Hell on Wheels.” Can you give me any clues about the season finale? -- Holly F., via emailA: Well, I don’t want to give too much away and spoil the surprise! But I did speak recently with series regular Kasha Kropinski (who plays Ruth), and she gave me a little tease as to what to expect as the season winds down. The South African beauty (who is a total sweetheart!) told me: “People are going to be totally and utterly shocked by what happens in these last few episodes. It is totally left field what transpires. I think that people already have created an idea of what they think is going to happen. But I don’t think anyone could come up with what actually transpires.“Some new relationships develop; some unexpected relationships come to frui-tion. Expect some death and destruction, as usual -- it is ‘Hell on Wheels,’ after all. I don’t think that’s a spoiler at all. Just hold onto your socks because they might blow off.” Q: I was heartbroken when you announced that TNT had not renewed “Monday Mornings.” I spent 46 years as a registered nurse, mostly in a hospital, in vari-ous areas. This was the only hospital-based show I have been able to watch past the first episodes. I appreciated the doctors being challenged about decisions and outcomes. -- Elizabeth B., via email A: I have received quite a few letters expressing dismay over the cancelation of “Monday Mornings.” This series hit home with a lot of viewers, but apparently not enough for the numbers people at TNT. I miss the days when networks gave shows longer that one season to build an audience, and gain momentum and a following. Imagine if “The Office” had debuted this season instead of 10 years ago: With the low numbers the show’s first season brought in, it would have been canceled in a flash. Just imagine all the great television we’d have missed out on! Q: I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. When will “Awkward” return with new episodes? -- Nicole F., Athens, Ga.A: MTV’s hit comedy returns from its summer hiatus on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT with 10 new episodes to round out the third season.READERS: It’s time for another contest!

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was van-ity: but the dreamers of the day are danger-ous men, for they may act their dream with

open eyes, to make it possible.-T. E. Lawrence
