How did you react when they asked you to host Season 3?

I was excited. Chefs are the easiest to cook for since no one ever does it for us. It was nice being on the other side of the table.

I’d want to challenge a chef from a different background. [Season 2 winner] Marcus Samuelsson was an interesting competitor.

What would your last meal be?

My granny’s roast leg of lamb and her incredible crispy potatoes.

GIVE YOUR DOG A BATH Dr. Stephen Zawistowski, science adviser to the ASPCA, on how to shampoo your pet—without getting soaked!

money, entertainment, and more

1

Do a trial run It’s a good idea to “practice” a few times first: Put your dog in a tub without water, give her a treat, and then take her out.

This will get her comfortable with the process.

2

Get prepped Put towels, shampoo, and a cup (if needed) within reach before you start. It’s fine to bathe your dog outside if it’s warm. If you’re washing her in the bathroom, remove any items that might get knocked over.

KOSHER COOKING

Alan Adler, left, says making matzo is more art than science.

3 Lots o’ Matzo

N

estled among the hot clubs and cool condos of manhattan’s

Lower East Side, Streit’s kosher matzo factory is one of the last holdouts of a bygone era. When the family-run business was founded in 1925 by Austrian immigrant Aron Streit, Prohibition reigned and the area was home to a bustling Jewish community. Lines of people waiting for fresh matzo snaked around the block. “Now, 20-somethings roll out of the after-hours bars across the street in the morning,” says Alan Adler, Streit’s great-grandson, who runs the business with his cousins. But inside the factory, which produces millions of pounds of matzo a year and distributes across North America, little has changed. Thirty-seven employees bake the unleavened cracker-like bread eaten during Passover, which begins tomorrow at sundown. Flour and water are blended in sevenfoot-high mixers while rabbis on the floor time the process to no more than 15 minutes so the dough doesn’t rise (Jewish law forbids leavened bread during the holiday). “Making matzo is more art than science,” Adler explains. Sure, Streit’s could move to a modern suburban factory, which would eliminate the challenge of loading trucks on crowded city streets, but that would also eliminate a lot of history. Despite lucrative real estate offers, the company has stayed put. “Being a family business, we have a legacy,” Adler says. “We try to keep tradition alive as best we can.” For photos of the company’s history, go to Parade.com/streits. —Ansley Roan

humans can strip too much of the fur’s natural oils, which protect dogs from cold and wet weather. Rinsing is easiest if you have a showerhead on a flexible hose. If not, use a large cup. Don’t forget to rinse the belly, chest, neck, and under the tail.

Shake it off If your dog is small enough and the weather is good, wrap her in a towel and carry her outside to get dry. If not, pull the shower curtain closed so she can shake off, then rub her fur with a towel.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SYMBICORT

©2011 AstraZeneca LP. All rights reserved. 1102111 2/11

Important Safety Information about SYMBICORT 160/4.5 for COPD SYMBICORT is a registered trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies.

A: Wait until the offender has left the vehicle, then let the air out of his tires. Okay, no. (But that’s what I always do in my head.) Here’s the thing: If you see a handicapped placard in the car window but the driver seems fine, you may just not be able to see his disability. The driver could have a disease like multiple sclerosis, with symptoms that can come and go without warning. Placards or plates may also be issued for mental conditions (though a pathological fear of being more than 50 feet from a supermarket does not qualify). The point is, you really don’t know the full story.

And if the car has no handicapped notification?

You’re better off alerting a police officer, who can issue a fine, than confronting the driver yourself. After all, if someone is enough of a jerk to flout this law, what other laws (about public fighting, say, or carrying a concealed weapon) might he also consider not worth obeying?

—Judith Newman

*Results may vary.

Call your health care provider if you notice any of the following symptoms: change in amount or color of sputum, fever, chills, increased cough, or increased breathing problems. People with COPD may have a higher chance of pneumonia.

SYMBICORT does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms.

Be sure to tell your health care provider about all your health conditions, including heart conditions or high blood pressure, and all medicines you may be taking. Some patients taking SYMBICORT may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or change in heart rhythm.

Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed. While taking SYMBICORT, never use another medicine containing a LABA for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines, as using too much LABA may cause chest pain, increase in blood pressure, fast and irregular heartbeat, headache, tremor, and nervousness.

Patients taking SYMBICORT should call their health care provider or get emergency medical care: • if you experience serious allergic reactions including rash, hives, swelling of the face, mouth and tongue, and breathing problems.

• if you think you are exposed to infections such as chicken pox or measles, or if you have any signs of infection. You may have a higher chance of infection.

• if you experience an increase in wheezing right after taking SYMBICORT, eye problems including glaucoma and cataracts, decreases in bone mineral density, swelling of blood vessels (signs include a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of arms or legs, flu like symptoms, rash, pain and swelling of the sinuses), decrease in blood potassium, and increase in blood sugar levels.

If you are switching to SYMBICORT from an oral corticosteroid, follow your health care provider’s instructions to avoid serious health risks when you stop using oral corticosteroids.

Common side effects include inflammation of the nasal passages and throat, thrush in the mouth and throat, bronchitis, sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infection.

Approved Uses for COPD SYMBICORT 160/4.5 is for adults with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. You should only take 2 inhalations of SYMBICORT twice a day. Higher doses will not provide additional benefits.

Please see Important Product Information on adjacent page and discuss with your doctor.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

For more information, call 1-888-312-0793 or go to MySymbicort.com/offer If you’re without prescription coverage and can’t afford your medication, AstraZeneca may be able to help.

I M P O R TA N T I N F O R M AT I O N A B O U T S Y M B I C O R T Please read this summary carefully and then ask your doctor about SYMBICORT.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER BEFORE USING SYMBICORT?

No advertisement can provide all the information needed to determine if a drug is right for you or take the place of careful discussions with your health care provider. Only your health care provider has the training to weigh the risks and benefits of a prescription drug.

Tell your health care provider about all of your health conditions, including if you: ■ have heart problems ■ have high blood pressure ■ have seizures ■ have thyroid problems ■ have diabetes ■ have liver problems ■ have osteoporosis ■ have an immune system problem ■ have eye problems such as increased pressure in the eye, glaucoma, or cataracts ■ are allergic to any medicines ■ are exposed to chicken pox or measles ■ are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if SYMBICORT may harm your unborn baby ■ are breast-feeding. Budesonide, one of the active ingredients in SYMBICORT, passes into breast milk. You and your health care provider should decide if you will take SYMBICORT while breast-feeding Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. SYMBICORT and certain other medicines may interact with each other and can cause serious side effects. Know all the medicines you take. Keep a list and show it to your health care provider and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SYMBICORT? People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) medicines, such as formoterol (one of the medicines in SYMBICORT), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether budesonide, the other medicine in SYMBICORT, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with formoterol.

SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or that your asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. Talk with your health care provider about this risk and the benefits of treating your asthma with SYMBICORT. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care provider if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. It is important that your health care provider assess your asthma control on a regular basis. Your doctor will decide if it is possible for you to stop taking SYMBICORT and start taking a long-term asthma control medicine without loss of asthma control.

Get emergency medical care if: breathing problems worsen quickly, and you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems.

Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may be at increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

■ ■

WHAT IS SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT is an inhaled prescription medicine used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medicines: ■ Budesonide (the same medicine found in Pulmicort Flexhaler™, an inhaled corticosteroid). Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms ■ Formoterol (the same medicine found in Foradil® Aerolizer®). LABA medicines are used in patients with COPD and asthma to help the muscles in the airways of your lungs stay relaxed to prevent asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles in the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe, which, in severe cases, can cause breathing to stop completely if not treated right away SYMBICORT is used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as follows: Asthma SYMBICORT is used to control symptoms of asthma and prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children ages 12 and older.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is used long term, two times each day, to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD.

WHO SHOULD NOT USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT to treat sudden severe symptoms of asthma or COPD or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in SYMBICORT.

Visit www.MySymbicort.com Or, call 1-866-SYMBICORT

HOW DO I USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT unless your health care provider has taught you and you understand everything. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Use SYMBICORT exactly as prescribed. Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed. SYMBICORT comes in two strengths for asthma: 80/4.5 mcg and 160/4.5 mcg. Your health care provider will prescribe the strength that is best for you. SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is the approved dosage for COPD. ■

SYMBICORT should be taken every day as 2 puffs in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening.

■

Rinse your mouth with water and spit the water out after each dose (2 puffs) of SYMBICORT. This will help lessen the chance of getting a fungus infection (thrush) in the mouth and throat.

■

Do not spray SYMBICORT in your eyes. If you accidentally get SYMBICORT in your eyes, rinse your eyes with water. If redness or irritation persists, call your health care provider.

■

Do not change or stop any medicines used to control or treat your breathing problems. Your health care provider will change your medicines as needed

■

While you are using SYMBICORT 2 times each day, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines.

SYMBICORT does not relieve sudden symptoms. Always have a rescue inhaler medicine with you to treat sudden symptoms. If you do not have a rescue inhaler, call your health care provider to have one prescribed for you.

■

Call your health care provider or get medical care right away if: ■ your breathing problems worsen with SYMBICORT ■ you need to use your rescue inhaler medicine more often than usual ■ your rescue inhaler does not work as well for you at relieving symptoms ■ you need to use 4 or more inhalations of your rescue inhaler medicine for 2 or more days in a row ■ you use one whole canister of your rescue inhaler medicine in 8 weeks’ time ■ your peak flow meter results decrease. Your health care provider will tell you the numbers that are right for you ■ your symptoms do not improve after using SYMBICORT regularly for 1 week

WHAT MEDICATIONS SHOULD I NOT TAKE WHEN USING SYMBICORT? While you are using SYMBICORT, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) for any reason, such as: ■ Serevent® Diskus® (salmeterol xinafoate inhalation powder) ■ Advair Diskus® or Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) ■ Formoterol-containing products such as Foradil Aerolizer, Brovana®, or Perforomist®

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS WITH SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT can cause serious side effects.

■ Increased risk of pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract infections if you have COPD. Call your health care provider if you notice any of these symptoms: increase in mucus production, change in mucus color, fever, chills, increased cough, increased breathing problems ■ Serious allergic reactions including rash; hives; swelling of the face, mouth and tongue; and breathing problems. Call your health care provider or get emergency care if you get any of these symptoms ■ Immune system effects and a higher chance for infections ■ Adrenal insufficiency–a condition in which the adrenal glands do not make enough steroid hormones ■ Cardiovascular and central nervous system effects of LABAs, such as chest pain, increased blood pressure, fast or irregular heartbeat, tremor, or nervousness ■ Increased wheezing right after taking SYMBICORT ■ Eye problems, including glaucoma and cataracts. You should have regular eye exams while using SYMBICORT ■ Osteoporosis. People at risk for increased bone loss may have a greater risk with SYMBICORT ■ Slowed growth in children. As a result, growth should be carefully monitored ■ Swelling of your blood vessels. This can happen in people with asthma ■ Decreases in blood potassium levels and increases in blood sugar levels

WHAT ARE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF SYMBICORT? Patients with Asthma Sore throat, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, thrush in the mouth and throat Patients with COPD Thrush in the mouth and throat These are not all the side effects with SYMBICORT. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist for more information.

Ask ® Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant I need glasses to see far away.

I was surprised to discover that I still need them to see distant objects in a mirror, which is close. Can you explain?

—Rick Zimmerman, Richland, Wash.

you’re not looking at the mirror as an object.

Instead, you’re viewing the light from the distant objects themselves, bounced to your eyes by the reflective surface of the mirror.

Say you can see well at four feet, and you stand two feet from a mirror. You’ll see your face clearly, because the light travels two feet to the mirror, then two feet back to your eyes, a total of four feet. But if you don’t see well at 50 feet, you’ll have trouble clearly seeing a tree across the street reflected in a mirror, because the light from the tree must travel 50 feet to the mirror, then two more feet back to your eyes.

You’ll easily see a drop of water on the mirror because the droplet is only two feet away. The light isn’t being reflected at all. This phenomenon is why a mirror makes a room seem larger.

And when the mirror faces a landscape, the impression is even greater. Replace the mirror with a photo of the same landscape, and the effect will disappear.

Learn about the monuments, trails, and forests Americans are working to preserve—and how you can, too By MICHELLE NIJHUIS 8 • April 17, 2011

a.m. on a recent saturday,

30 volunteers gathered at the visitor center for the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, armed with weapons for that day’s battle: trash bags, work gloves, and wheelbarrows. They’d spent the rest of the week being college students, medical assistants, or retired schoolteachers. But not this morning.

Today they were monument caretakers.

Tucked into the southwestern corner of Colorado, Canyons of the Ancients, a 170,000-acre high-desert landscape, has no restaurants and few trail markers. But its canyons teem with riches of the past: 13th-century towers, rocks painted with images of ghostly hands, and other vestiges of the 1,000-year-old Ancestral Puebloan civilization. “I hike in two miles every few months to check on one of the sites, make sure it hasn’t been vandalized,” says Harry Hance, 80.

In the past decade, looters have stolen artifacts, pushed over walls, and even desecrated centuries-old graves in search of

valuables. Today the volunteers pick up trash and close a stretch of road that’s been used to intrude on monument land. The work is hard and dirty, but no one minds.

Canyons of the Ancients is one of the 886 properties that make up the little-known National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS), created in 2000 and formally signed into law by President Obama just two years ago. These undeveloped wildernesses, historic trails, expansive monuments, scenic rivers, and other sites cover 27 million acres, an area nearly the size of New York state. But the NLCS functions on a budget of $67 million—acre for acre less than a tenth the amount allotted to the National Park Service. Since funds for rangers and other paid caretakers are scarce, the landscapes are often neglected, if not violated. At Agua Fria Na-

tional Monument, in central Arizona, ATV drivers ride unchecked across riverbeds, home to such sensitive species as the yellowbilled cuckoo and lowland leopard frog. At Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, 17 miles—but a world away— from the hubbub of the Las Vegas Strip, vandals have scrawled graffiti on ancient pictographs and spray-painted rocks with

Taking on the vandals are thousands of Americans who spend their time doing everything from carting away litter to mapping archaeological sites. “The more you come here, the more you realize it’s just covered with history,” says Canyons of the Ancients volunteer Karen Bernhart, 66, who works in a chiropractor’s office. “You can live here a long time and never see it all.”

In the past year or so, the NLCS volunteers have become more organized—and more forceful. Many have joined the “friends” groups supported by the Conservation Lands Foundation, a nonprofit that protects and restores NLCS sites. (To find out how you can help, visit conservation lands.org.)

farmer Hugo Tureck, 73, estimates that he has spent hundreds of hours struggling to protect the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. Here, the vast plains of eastern Montana transition into the White Cliffs of the upper Missouri River. “I look at my time on this landscape as temporary,” he says. “It’s going to be here long after me. My job is to protect it. Whether it’s public land or private, I think that should be our role.”

The National Landscape Conservation System hopes to attract more volunteers like Tureck to preserve the monuments.

The NLCS is administered by the Bureau of Land Management, an agency better known for overseeing grazing and mining than safeguarding landscapes.

While many agency employees have embraced their new mission, change is not easy. With few tourist amenities, these sites require effort to experience—but the rewards are rich. Actor Edward Norton, who serves on the Conservation Lands Foundation board, became intrigued by the

my heart races every time,” Seth Meyers says of sliding into the anchor seat for Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment. But on April 30, the 37-year-old SNL head writer will put his political-comedy chops to the ultimate test when he headlines the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

Is your arthritis pain medicine putting you at risk for stomach issues?

Who in politics provides the most comedic material right now?

This year, strangely, it’s been Julian Assange and Hosni Mubarak. They’re less inherently funny, but because of who we have playing them on SNL— Bill Hader and Fred Armisen— and the approaches they took, it provided us a lot of comedy.

Things are always shifting in politics. I don’t think Sarah Palin’s gotten less funny over the last two years, but she’s gotten a little bit less relevant for us.

Have you met President Obama before?

He did the show in the fall of ’07.

It was before even Iowa. He was great—incredibly charismatic, really nice and fast and funny. We had a sketch where he came into a costume party wearing a Barack Obama mask, and when he took it off he was the actual Barack Obama. I said, “If the mask is hard to get off, we’ll think of something else.” And he said, “I think you’ll find I can take off a Halloween mask.” I remember thinking you probably don’t get to this point without knowing how to do that.

SNL broadcasts end early Sunday— do you always go to the cast party after?

I do. If I went home I wouldn’t be able to sleep, and it’s kind of the only time you get to see everybody when they’re not stressed about the next show. There’s something nice F

Ask your doctor about VIMOVO. VIMOVO is a prescription medicine that combines a proven arthritis pain reliever with built-in medication that can help protect you from stomach issues common to NSAIDs. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can effectively reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. But they may also lead to stomach issues which may keep you from taking the medicine you need.

So if you’re worried about potential stomach issues with your arthritis pain medication, ask your doctor about VIMOVO. * In 6-month clinical studies, compared to enteric-coated naproxen.

Approved Uses for VIMOVO VIMOVO is approved to relieve the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoidarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and to decrease the risk of stomach (gastric) ulcers in patients at risk of developing stomach ulcers from treatment with NSAIDs. VIMOVO is not recommended as a starting treatment for relief of acute pain. Controlled studies do not extend beyond 6 months.

Important Safety Information Like all medications that contain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), VIMOVO may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. This chance increases with longer use of NSAID medicines, and in people who have heart disease.

never be used before or after a type of heart surgery called coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). As with all medications that contain NSAIDs, VIMOVO may increase the chance of stomach and intestinal problems, such as bleeding or an ulcer, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events.

VIMOVO is not right for everyone, including patients who have had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction with aspirin or any other NSAID medicine, patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients in VIMOVO, or women in late stages of pregnancy.

Serious allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can occur without warning and can be life-threatening; discontinue use of VIMOVO at the first appearance of a skin rash, or if you develop sudden wheezing; swelling of the lips, tongue or throat; fainting; or problems swallowing.

VIMOVO should be used at the lowest dose and for the shortest amount of time as directed by your health care provider.

Tell your health care provider right away if you develop signs of active bleeding from any source.

VIMOVO can lead to onset of new hypertension or worsening of existing high blood pressure, either of which may contribute to an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Speak with your health care provider before starting VIMOVO if you • Have a history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines • Have heart problems, high blood pressure, or are taking high blood pressure medications • Have kidney or liver problems Review all the medications, even over-the-counter medications, you are taking with your health care provider before starting VIMOVO. Talk to your health care provider about your risk for bone fractures if you take VIMOVO for a long period of time.

The most common side effects of VIMOVO include: inflammation of the lining of the stomach, indigestion, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, abdominal pain, and nausea.

For further information on VIMOVO, please see the brief summary of full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warnings on adjacent pages.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

If you’re without prescription coverage and can’t afford your medication, AstraZeneca may be able to help. Please visit www.astrazeneca-us.com for more information.

about going out and recollecting how it went. And if it’s a bad show, it’s a good reminder that you still get to work with your friends. You don’t take it as seriously as if you just went home and stewed in your own disappointment.

Do you have any other Sunday rituals?

No. Because of the show’s schedule, the rest of the week is very ritualized, so Sundays are a lovely relief, a time to shut off my brain.

You recently moved into a new apartment. What things in it say the most about you?

The first time I had disposable income, the two things I cared most about were a television and a couch. And on this move, I’ve done it again: I have a nice big HDTV and a new couch, which already has a giant sag where I sit.

I put all this effort into getting nice things—but still, the picture above the fireplace is a Bruce Springsteen poster I found in the garbage. It was a promotion for The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, my favorite album.

Are you the funniest person in your family?

Everybody in the family thinks my dad is the funniest. My mother has laughed at everything he’s ever said, which taught my brother and me, at a very young age, that you can punch above your weight if you’re funny.

It’s a nice thing that God gave women that one blind spot.

StayHealthy 5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT...

WEIGHT LOSS 1

The more you gain, the harder it is to lose. A recent

Scandinavian study found that fat cells in obese subjects underwent changes that made burning fat tougher. In fact, gaining as little as 11 pounds seemed to slow the body’s fatburning metabolism.

2

Sleep more to help you lose more. A

small study of dieters found that those who slept more than eight hours nightly burned mostly fat during the

day, while those who got less than six hours of shut-eye shed muscle instead.

3

It may be easier to drop pounds in winter. “Brown fat” is

a unique type of fatty tissue that burns calories instead of storing them. And it blasts more calories when your body is exposed to cold temperatures.

4

There’s something to the low-carb craze. Research has

shown that dieters who cut their carb

intake can shed more weight than those who cut their fat intake—even if they eat more calories overall.

5

Genes do matter—but you can still defeat your DNA.

Think your family is heavy thanks to Mom’s Italian cooking? Not necessarily.

One study found that many overweight relatives shared a “fat gene.” But staying active seemed to counteract its effect.

Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis) due to an infection also may happen more often in people who take Prolia. You may need to go to the hospital for treatment if you develop an infection.

Prolia is a medicine that may affect your immune system. People who have weakened immune system or take medicines that affect the immune system may have an increased risk for developing serious infections.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms of infection: • Fever or chills • Skin that looks red or swollen and is hot or tender to touch • Severe abdominal pain • Frequent or urgent need to urinate or burning feeling when you urinate 3. Skin problems.

Skin problems such as inflammation of your skin (dermatitis), rash, and eczema may happen if you take Prolia. Call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms of skin problems that do not go away or get worse: • Redness • Itching • Small bumps or patches (rash) • Your skin is dry or feels like leather • Blisters that ooze or become crusty • Skin peeling 4. Severe jaw bone problems (osteonecrosis).

Severe jaw bone problems may happen when you take Prolia. Your doctor should examine your mouth before you start Prolia. Your doctor may tell you to see your dentist before you start Prolia. It is important for you to practice good mouth care during treatment with Prolia.

Call your doctor right away if you have any of these side effects.

What is Prolia?

Prolia is a prescription medicine used to treat osteoporosis (thinning and weakening of bone) in women after menopause (“change of life”) who • Have an increased risk for fractures (broken bones).

• Cannot use another osteoporosis medicine or other osteoporosis medicines did not work well.

Who should not receive Prolia?

If you become pregnant while taking Prolia, talk to your doctor about enrolling with Amgen’s Pregnancy Surveillance Program or call 1-800-772-6436 (1-800-77-AMGEN). The purpose of this program is to collect information about women who have become pregnant while taking Prolia.

• Are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed. It is not known if Prolia passes into your breast milk. You and your doctor should decide if you will take Prolia or breast-feed. You should not do both.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of medicines with you to show to your doctor or pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

How will I receive Prolia?

• Prolia is an injection that will be given to you by a healthcare professional. Prolia is injected under your skin (subcutaneous).

• You will receive Prolia 1 time every 6 months.

• You should take calcium and vitamin D as your doctor tells you to while you receive Prolia.

• If you miss a dose of Prolia, you should receive your injection as soon as you can.

• Take good care of your teeth and gums while you receive Prolia. Brush and floss your teeth regularly.

• Tell your dentist that you are receiving Prolia before you have dental work.

What are the possible side effects of Prolia?

Prolia may cause serious side effects.

• See “What is the most important information I should know about Prolia?”

• Long-term effects on bone: It is not known if the use of Prolia over a long period of time may cause slow healing of broken bones or unusual fractures.

The most common side effects of Prolia are: • Back pain • Pain in your arms and legs • High cholesterol • Muscle pain • Bladder infection These are not all the possible side effects of Prolia.

For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

How should I handle Prolia if I need to pick it up from a pharmacy?

• Keep Prolia in a refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) in the original carton.

• Do not freeze Prolia.

• When you remove Prolia from the refrigerator, Prolia must be kept at room temperature [up to 77°F (25°C)] in the original carton and must be used within 14 days.

• Do not keep Prolia at temperatures above 77°F (25°C).

Warm temperatures will affect how Prolia works.

• Do not shake Prolia.

• Keep Prolia in the original carton to protect from light.

Keep Prolia and all medicines out of reach of children.

General information about Prolia Do not give Prolia to other people even if they have the same symptoms that you have. It may harm them.

This Medication Guide summarizes the most important information about Prolia. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your doctor or pharmacist for information about Prolia that is written for health professionals.

For more information, go to www.Prolia.com or call Amgen at 1-800-772-6436.

What are the ingredients in Prolia?

Active ingredient: denosumab Inactive ingredients: sorbitol, acetate, polysorbate 20 (prefilled syringe only), Water for Injection (USP), and sodium hydroxide What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become thin and weak, increasing the chance of having a broken bone.

Osteoporosis usually causes no symptoms until a fracture happens. The most common fractures are in the spine (backbone). They can shorten height, even without causing pain. Over time, the spine can become curved or deformed and the body bent over. Fractures from osteoporosis can also happen in almost any bone in the body, for example: the wrist, rib, or hip. Once you have had a fracture, the chance for more fractures greatly increases.

The following risk factors increase your chance of getting fractures from osteoporosis: • Past broken bones from osteoporosis • Very low bone mineral density (BMD) • Frequent falls • Limited movement, such as using a wheelchair • Medical conditions likely to cause bone loss, such as some kinds of arthritis • Taking steroid medicines called glucocorticoids, such as prednisone • Other medicines that may cause bone loss, for example: seizure medicines (such as phenytoin), blood thinners (such as heparin), high doses of vitamin A What can I do to treat osteoporosis?

There are many steps you can take to treat osteoporosis.

Taking Prolia, along with calcium and vitamin D, may be one option for you.

The House That Built Me

T

he plan was to

drive slowly by the house and keep on going.

But I wasn’t prepared for the sight of all those boarded-up windows. How could a home once so full of living be so deadly silent now?

I slowed the car to a crawl as the ghost of my younger self—all arms and legs and teenage attitude— stood on the porch and shouted, “Oh, c’mon! You’ve got time to stop!” I was bossy, even then.

So I did a U-turn and pulled into the driveway of the home where I lived for most of my childhood. It sits on U.S. Route 20 in Ashtabula, Ohio. When we were kids, we used to stand close to the street and pump our arms at the semitrucks roaring toward us. Every time a driver blasted his horn, we’d hoot and holler. “Like kids raised by wolves,” Mom would say, shaking her head. But she always smiled.

Sure doesn’t take long for memories to kick in when you’re face-toface with the house that built you, as the country song goes. When my parents died in their 60s, they took a chunk of my history with them.

But seeing the house where they raised me breathed new life into forgotten times and revealed the origins of some of my habits, too.

I stepped out of the car and headed for the front steps, where 24 • April 17, 2011

where my three siblings and I lived.

Right, on my 16th birthday, with Chuckie, 10, and Leslie, 14.

my father used to sit after working at the power plant. He’d nurse a Stroh’s and coach me on how too r. throw a softball to my little brother.

“Fingers straight,” he’d say.

“Now, step and throw.” Years later, I coached my daughter’s softball team and told the girls the exact same thing.

I walked onto the porch, took a deep breath. The floorboards dipped at the spot where our feet skidded every time we pumped the swing. The screen door was gone, but I could still hear it slamming whenever one of us

The screen door was gone, but I could still hear it slamming whenever one of us kids ran out to play.”

kids ran out to play. In my early teens, I took pains to close that door gently so Mom wouldn’t catch me about to relax and decide to come up with another chore. She was big on building character with buckets and Brillos; I preferred to sprawl out on that swing, reading one book after another and dreaming of a future too big for my small town.

I stood under the kitchen window where Mom used to peek out on tiptoes and name every bird visitin visiting the feeder. As a kid, I thought she was so silly.

N Now I do the same thing.

S Someday I hope to identify eevery bird by its song, just li like Mom. She would have lo loved knowing that.

I walked to the backyard an and started to laugh. When I w was 12, Dad broke his collarbo bone playing softball and insi sisted I mow the lawn while h he walked next to me, row by ro row. I was so nervous, I kept b brushing back my bangs with one hand until the mower slipped and sliced off the toe of Dad’s sneaker. We watched that sliver of canvas fly into the air, and I was sure it was taking his toe with it. I screamed and darted down the street and didn’t return until dark.

As it turned out, Dad’s big toe was just fine and wiggled a hearty hello for the two years

“Both hands on the mower,” he’d say, pointing to his toe whenever I’d cut the lawn later.

“Good thing to remember.”

The yard is overgrown now, and full of weeds. How he would have hated that.

I looked up and saw various versions of the same girl peeking out my bedroom window. Fifthgrade Connie asked God to drop a little snow on Christmas Eve. The sixth-grader doodled her married name on the frosted glass: Mrs. Paul McCartney.

Oh, girl, I whispered. Just you wait. It gets so much better.

Pulling out of the drive, I caught one last glimpse of Dad. He was standing in the front yard, pointing west and giving 10-year-old me a lesson in geography.

“You could take this road all the way across the country,” he used to say.

Back then all I could think about was how scary it would be to leave home.

Actress (and mom-to-be) Alicia Silverstone shares a healthy dose of sweet nostalgia

cle

As a child, I absolutely loved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They were my favorite candy on the planet. They had that hard edge and really soft middle—who wouldn’t want that?

When I became a vegan 10 years ago, I was sad to give them up. So I developed these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups by combining various recipes and using only homemade and natural ingredients. I’m proud of them.

I think they’re the most ridiculously delicious things in the entire world, and I always give them to people as an introduction to how great vegan treats can be.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ½ cup Earth Balance buttery spread ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter (preferably unsweetened and unsalted) ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs (about 10 squares) ¼ cup maple sugar or other granulated sweetener 1 cup grain-sweetened, nondairy chocolate or carob chips ¼ cup soy, rice, or nut milk ¼ cup chopped peanuts, pecans, or almonds

MAKES: 12 PER CUP: 300 calories, 24g carbs, 5g protein, 21g fat,

1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Stir in peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and maple sugar; mix well. Remove from heat. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, about 2 Tbsp per cup.

3. Combine chocolate and milk in another saucepan. Stir over medium until chocolate

has melted. Spoon evenly over peanut butter mixture.

Top with chopped nuts.

Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.

When we introduced the original Acoustic WaveŽ music system, Sound & Vision said it delivered “possibly the best-reproduced sound many people have ever heard.� And the Oregonian reported it had “changed the way many Americans listen to music.�

Today, the improved Acoustic WaveŽ music system II builds on our more than 40 years of industry-leading innovation to deliver even better sound. This is the best-performing all-in-one music system we’ve ever made, with sound that rivals large and complicated stereos. There’s no stack of equipment. No tangle of wires. Just all-in-one convenience and lifelike sound.

With recently developed BoseŽ technologies, our engineers were able to make the acclaimed sound even more natural. We believe you’ll appreciate the quality even at volume levels approaching that of a live performance.

This small system fits almost anywhere. You can move it from room to room, or take it outside. It has what you need to enjoy your music, including a built-in CD player and digital FM/AM tuner.

You also can easily connect additional sources like your iPod,ÂŽ iPadÂŽ or TV.

Use our 30-day, riskfree trial to try it in your home. When you call, ask about making

with no interest charges from Bose.* And if you order now, you’ll receive the optional 5-CD Changer free – a $299 value.
