• If you like your coffee fresh and strong but not so hot, make a small tray of ice cubes out of coffee to cool your morning cup.

• “Always dust from the top down. My mom taught me that, since the dust falls and then you vacuum it up at the end. Also, don’t use too much furniture polish, since using a lot can actually attract dust.” -- B.O. in Pennsylvania

• “Keep leftover slices of good meat and veggies in zipper-lock plastic baggies and freeze. When you make canned soups, just add the appropriate bits from your baggie. It really bulks up the soups, and you save money and don’t waste precious food.” -- P.R. in California

• To calm flyaway tresses, rub ChapStick on your palms and then run your palms over your hair to smooth it.

• For a great springtime facial, mash up a small can (or a snack-size serving) of peaches in juice. Add to it 2 to 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and gently massage into skin. Let sit for a minute or two and then rinse with warm water.

• “Styrofoam peanuts are great for adding to the bottom of plants for drainage. You can usually get some for free if you get packages in the mail. If not, you can ask your local shipping store for a few handfuls, and they are usually quite gracious. Mine is.” -- A.R. in Florida

It was 20th-century American director, s c r e e n w r i t e r , playwright and novelist Ben Hecht who made the following sage observation: "Trying

to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock."

by Samantha Weaver

• If you visualize an image of John Lennon, more likely than not you'll see him in your mind's eye wearing a pair of round spectacles. In July of 2007, one pair of those iconic glasses was sold at auction for a whopping $2 million.

• There's nothing terribly surprising about the fact that an animated version of George Orwell's famed novel "Animal Farm" was produced in the United States in 1954. What made this production unusual is that the movie rights were bought by, and the film was covertly funded by, the CIA. It was thought that it would be excellent anti-Communist propaganda during the Cold War.

• If you're like 12 percent of American men who are about to get married, you'll go to a tanning bed before you make that walk down the aisle.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The Daytona 500 is NAS-CAR's greatest race. Of that there is little doubt, though some drivers cite the Brickyard 400 as comparable.

Why is it NASCAR's greatest race?Unlike the greatest events of other sports, the Daytona

500 opens the season rather than concludes it. The Super Bowl, World Series, et al. determine championships. The Daytona 500 isn't even in the Chase. Winning it isn't even a significant factor in determining the Sprint Cup champion. More than any other major sporting event, it stands alone, comparable more to the premier events of golf and tennis than team sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer.

The 500 pays far more than any other race on the schedule, however, and to under-stand its importance, one also must understand unique aspects of automobile racing in general and NASCAR in particular.

"From a talent standpoint ... it's harder to win at Martinsville, it's harder to win at Bristol, it's harder to win at Kansas and most other tracks," Jeff Gordon said, "but I think there isn't anybody who doesn't want to win the Daytona 500. That's the differ-ence. It doesn't matter whether it's a restrictor-plate race or not, or how much skill or luck goes into it. You want to win it.

"The longer you go without winning it, the more challenging it becomes and the harder you think it is, and when you do accomplish it, I think there is that much more meaning behind it, not to mention the fact that this race means the world to a race-car driver."

Gordon has won "the Great American Race" three times: 1997, 1999 and 2004. But many of the sport's greats, most notably Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip, waited

The Best for First

many years before finally claiming the Harley J. Earl Trophy. Rusty Wallace never won it. Tony Stewart hasn't won it yet.

Stewart, the reigning champion, said it was at the top of his "bucket list."The race does not always go to the sport's superstars. In 2011, both Sprint Cup winners

at Daytona claimed their first career victories. Trevor Bayne won the 500, and David Ragan won the Coke Zero 400.

This Daytona 500 could well be another major surprise. It almost surely will be dramatic.

• On March 18, 1852, in New York City, Henry Wells and William G. Fargo join with several other investors to launch their namesake business. In July 1852, their company shipped its first loads of freight from the East Coast to mining camps scattered around northern California.

• On March 17, 1901, paintings by the late Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh are shown in Paris. Van Gogh had committed suicide 11 years earlier without any notion that his work was destined to win acclaim beyond his wildest dreams. In his lifetime, he had sold only one painting.

• On March 14, 1914, stock-car racer Lee Arnold Petty (father of Richard Petty) is born near Randleman, N.C. In 1959, he won the Daytona 500. It's said that Lee Petty never lost a race on account of being too kind to his competitors, even if his competitors were family.

• On March 16, 1926, at Auburn, Mass., American Robert Goddard successfully launches the world's first liquid-fueled rocket. The 10-foot rocket, fueled by liquid oxygen and gasoline, traveled for 2.5 seconds at a speed of about 60 mph, reaching an altitude of 41 feet and landing 184 feet away.

• On March 13, 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army begins training dogs for the newly established War Dog Program, or "K-9 Corps." Perhaps the most famous war dog was Rin Tin Tin, an abandoned puppy of German war dogs found in France in 1918 and taken to the United States, where he made his film debut in the 1922 silent film "The Man From Hell's River."

• On March 15, 1954, the Chords record "Sh-boom." The song's lighthearted melody and nonsensical lyrics kicked off a new era of "doo-wop" music. Doo-wop hits included "Earth Angel" by the Penguins and "In the Still of the Night" by the Five Satins.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband, 46, died suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. An autopsy showed that he died from what the doctor said was a minor heart attack. How does a minor heart attack kill? It was major for him and me. -- C.C.

ANSWER: The pathologist who performed the autopsy must have found that only a small section of heart was involved, and only a small heart ar-tery was obstructed. Minor heart attacks can lead to major complications, including death. They can generate abnormal heartbeats, so abnormal that the heart’s pumping action stops.

You have my deepest sympathy.The booklet on heart attacks explains why they happen and how they’re

prevented. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 102W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I want to get rid of a lot of expired medicines.

I have heard that flushing them down the toilet or putting them in the garbage will make them end up in our drinking water. What is the proper solution? -- M.S.

ANSWER: Different government agencies have dif-ferent recommendations for medicine disposal. Congress is trying to resolve those differences.

First, check with your drugstore to see if it has a pro-gram to dispose of medicines; many do. Also check with your town, county or state to see if it has “take-back” programs. Many do.

If you can’t find a facility that accepts old medicines, mix them with coffee grounds, sawdust, kitty litter or similar materials (making them less appealing for chil-dren or pets to eat), seal them in a plastic bag and put them in your trash.

A few drugs ought to be flushed down the toilet or the sink. These drugs are mostly powerful painkillers, like morphine, fentanyl, oxycodone and Demerol. They pose a danger to children, pets and even adults if acci-dentally ingested. This advice comes from the Food and Drug Administration. You can find the complete list at www.fda.gov.
