• The year’s midpoint occurs on July 2, with 182 days passed and 182 yet to come (except in Leap years, which have one extra day in the first half). On this midpoint day in 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were heard from for the last time as they attempted to make the first round-the-world flight. Their last radio contact was from the vicinity of Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean, and their whereabouts remains a mystery to this day.

By the end of the three-day conflict, more than 51,000 were dead, along with more than 5,000 horses.

• It is estimated that 569 tons of ammunition were used in the assault, and 634 cannons were positioned throughout the 25-square-mile area.

The Confederates were defeated in the battle, but it was not to be the end of the war. It raged on for nearly two more years, although Lee’s army never recovered from the devastation.

● It’s well-known that the United States is a melting pot of nationalities. At the end of the 1800s, New York City was so diverse that it had more Irish than any city except Dublin, and a larger Russian population than was to be found at that time in the city of Kiev. The only two cities in the world that had more German speakers were Vienna and Berlin, and Milan and Naples had fewer Italians than New York.

• The Liberty Bell no longer hangs in the steeple of Independence Hall. In 2003, it received its own home, the Liberty Bell Center, across the street from Independence Hall, where the 2,080-pound bell is on display, still suspended from its original American elm yoke. Its crack is about a half-inch wide and 24.5-inches long. The steeple of Independence Hall now holds the Centennial Bell, one created for the country’s 100th anniversary in 1876. 

• It’s thought that gunpowder originated in China about 1000 A.D. Firecrackers consisted of bamboo shoots filled with black powder and were used to celebrate the new year. Early fireworks were not the sophisticated colorful displays we know today. Instead, they were just loud explosions designed to scare away evil spirits.

• China remains the largest producer of fireworks, making about 90 percent of the world’s supply.

America imports close to $200 million worth of fireworks each year and manufactures over $230 million of fireworks as well.

• Color was first added to fireworks in Italy in the 1830s when it was discovered that particles shaved from certain metals will produce different colors when heated with flame.

Copper creates blue, barium produces green, calcium is responsible for orange, and sodium makes yellow. The addition of aluminum and titanium will add bright white to the display, and a mix of strontium salts and lithium salts will produce red.

• Sparklers were created around 1880, and while they may seem tame in comparison to other fireworks, sparklers actually burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000° F. (1,093° C), over 15 times the boiling point of water.

Just three sparklers burning together produce the same heat as a blowtorch! Unfortunately, sparklers are irresistable playthings for kids, and the most injuries from their use occur in children under five.

• The black powder used in the manufacture of fireworks is classified as “low explosive.” This means its detonation velocity is about 100 yards per second. Dynamite falls into the category of “high explosive” with a speed of greater than 1,000 yards per second.

• The illegal M-80 fireworks, which simulate the sound of gunfire, are officially known as “military rifle fire simulators.”

• A record-setting fireworks display was set off in Portugal in 2006, consisting of 66,326 fireworks.

• When King Louis XVI of France married Marie Antoinette in 1770, an impressive fireworks show of 20,000 rockets followed the ceremony

Q:

When will my favorite show, “Leverage,” be back with new episodes?

-- Paul T., via e-mail

A:

ries to follow in early 2013. *** Readers: For your summertime reading pleasure, I want to give one lucky reader a copy of Rebecca Bloom’s “Eat, Drink and Be Married.” Simply e-mail me at letters@cindyelavsky.com or send a letter to Cindy Elavsky, King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475 by July 31, and tell me your favorite beach read. This contest isn’t just for the ladies, although many beach books are classified as “chick lit.”

I asked Rebecca if it bothered her to have books pigeonholed as “chick lit.” She told me: “I was offended by it before, but because I thought, ‘Why does it have to be classified?’ But now I’m much more of a realist than when I started writing, and you have to do whatever you can to market your book.

It’s a way to classify and sell, and ultimately, that’s what any writer should want. So, I’m not as against it.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with celebrating women with your writing. ‘The Help’ was awesome, and that was a chick flick and chick lit, so if my book is classified as chick lit, that’s fine with me.”

Can Bad Credit Hurt My Career?

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

just review the promissory note she signed. The “sister” part of me says you probably didn’t think you would need that. A written agreement makes sure that everyone has the same expectations -even sisters. As it is, you expected her to pay you back complete with a mushy “thank you” note. Her expectations? Who knows. She may think you’ve got so much money you haven’t even missed it.

I don’t blame you for being upset, but is $500 worth destroying your relationship? That’s just what will happen if you let your anger ferment and turn into bitterness. You need to accept that she may never pay you back. Once you stop seething, say to her, “Let’s figure out a repayment schedule that’s comfortable for you.”

Do everything you can to work it out, and then write it down. If she ever pays you back, consider it a bonus. And the next time you decide to lend money to anyone, put your expectations in writing -- before you write the check.

Canine Good Citizenship

What do Jonny Justice, Hector, Audie, Ernie, Uba, Ted, Little Red, Leo, Ray and Oscar have in common? Years ago, they all suffered physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Michael Vick and his Bad Newz dogfighting ring. But more importantly, in the here and now, they are all official Canine Good Citizens.

Sounds pretty impressive -- and it is. But what exactly does that mean?

In 1989, the American Kennel Club launched its Canine Good Citizen program as a reward for dogs who demonstrate good manners both in the home and in the community. The CGC program is two-fold in that it promotes responsible dog ownership, as well as good doggie manners.

How does it work?

Responsible dog ownership is encouraged by requiring dog owners to sign the CGC Responsible Dog Owner’s Pledge before their dog is allowed to take the certification test. The pledge requires dog owners to commit to full responsibility for:

-- the health of their dog

-- the safety of their dog

-- the rights of others in not allowing their dog to infringe upon them, which includes picking up after their dog and preventing their dog from becoming a neighborhood nuisance by running loose or barking excessively

-- their dog’s quality of life, which includes attention, playtime and training.

After the pledge comes the test, which must be administered by an AKC-certified CGC evaluator.

This could be a dog trainer, a kennel owner, a veterinarian or vet technician, a therapy dog evaluator, an AKC judge or even a police K-9 or animal control officer. To find a CGC evaluator local to you, visit: http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/cgc_bystate.cfm.

The CGC evaluation tests your dog in the following 10 areas:

-- accepting a friendly stranger

-- sitting politely for petting

-- appearance and grooming, which tests both the owner’s commitment to maintaining a healthy weight and clean coat and teeth and the dog’s willingness to be groomed by someone other than his CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Tome on Cancer Shows the Vast Progress Made

“The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer” is a medical masterpiece written by oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee, a researcher and clinician who describes in Pulitzer Prize-winning detail the history of cancer from its earliest recognition thousands of years ago to the present.

There was a widespread belief in the second half of the 20th century that cures for all cancers were a possibility. This occurred thanks to the remarkable ingenuity and bravery of basic scientists and clinicians. The advent of anesthesia made radical surgery to totally remove cancer from the body possible. The discoveries that poisonous compounds were able to kill cancer cells made medical treatment a reality. And while irradiation and excessive X-rays led to death and suffering, appropriate harnessing of this powerful tool created yet another approach to directly target and kill cancer cells. Early efforts at treating leukemia in children and Hodgkin’s disease led to the disappearance of the cancer and eventual cures for some patients. Spurred by these early successes, savvy and astute scientists, entrepreneurs and philanthropists formed the American Cancer Society.

The organization used marketing and lobbying skills to increase public awareness of cancer, creating hope that a cure for all cancers was possible and persuading Congress to declare a war on this disease by investing huge sums of money focused on eradicating cancer once and for all.

This frontal attack led to great advances in our understanding of cancer and medical treatments. However, this knowledge has come at a price. Many patients suffered greatly when exposed to surgical and medical treatments that were truly brutal and often futile.

For a long time, there was a strong belief that the only way to cure common cancers (lung, colon and breast) was to become even more aggressive therapeutically. More and more drugs were given that led to total destruction of bone marrow, severe infections, bleeding, nausea and numerous other symptoms. Death was prevented by keeping patients in totally sterile environments and by bone marrow transplants that eventually allowed the patient to recover.

During this time, desperate patients de-

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margeneau

Only His Undertaker Knows For Sure!

Q.

My husband is 66 years old. I’m only 60. We are having an argument about Social Security. He insists on waiting until age 70 to get his full benefits plus the delayed retirement bonus. I say he should take Social Security now. If he doesn’t, he’ll be throwing away thousands of dollars. But he says he’s run the numbers, and he comes out in the long run by waiting until 70 to take his Social Security.

Which one of us is right?

aside for her college tuition. Now Social Security is asking for all that money back! This isn’t fair. I set up that fund for the sole purpose of paying her college expenses, and there will be severe tax consequences for me if I don’t use that money for her tuition. How can the government ask for that money back?

A.

Q.

You can relax about the money in the “529 fund:” the government won’t want the money back once you explain to them what you are doing.

The rules say that prior to age 18, benefits for your daughter must be paid to either you or her mother.

But once your daughter reaches her 18th birthday, Social Security checks must be paid directly to her.

As part of that process, they usually ask that you return any conserved funds so that money can be turned over to her. (It’s your daughter’s money, after Please reviewwhat carefully. check:  Phone Number(s)  Prices

I am 67 years old. My husband died when I was 63, and I started getting widow’s benefits at that time. I never worked ver y much, so my own Social Security benefit is ver y small -- much less than my widow’s check.

In a recent column, you talked about widows switching to full benefits at age 66. I was never switched to higher benefits. Should I be getting more money?

A.

You’re both right! And you’re both wrong! Or to put that another way: only his undertaker knows for sure! In other words, because we don’t know how long your hubby is going to live, we don’t know if he should take Social Security at 66 or wait until 70.

Personally, I think you are right. He should take his Social Security now. By waiting until age 70, he isn’t just throwing away “thousands of dollars,” as You’ve written some recent colyou say. He’s throwing away almost $100,000. He is going to have to live a long time past age 70 -- into his umns about the children of retirees getting Social Security benefits. I am one such retiree mid 80s or so -- to come out ahead of the game.

male hormones shrivel hair follicles, the home for each hair. The hair thins, is shorter and falls out well before its time. Sensitivity to this male hormone action is genetically programmed, and in some men, it takes place at young ages.

Have you considered using minoxidil, which is applied to the scalp, or finasteride, an oral medicine?

Hair transplantation works well. The hair is taken from the back of the head, where hair follicles have a long life. It’s very successful.

It would be wise to check with a doctor to see if your hair loss really is something you inherited, or if it’s a sign of something else. ***

Pottery, produced weeping Gold. They made vases, coffee sets, figurines, trays, candlesticks, dessert sets and pitchers. Many pieces were marked with paper labels. Pieces that are marked with the name of the manufacturer and also with “22 Karat Gold” command higher prices than those that are unmarked.

Because real gold was used, some people attempt to remove the gold. The process is extremely dangerous and should not be tried.

Q:

This mark is on the bottom of a tiered ser ving tray and a matching ser ving dish that belonged to my mother. It is decorated with a mottled, uneven gold glaze. There are 3 trays in graduating sizes and all held together by a chrome handle. I don’t remember her ever using the set and don’t know anything about where it came from or how old it is.

Anything you can tell me about its histor y and value will be appreciated.

A:

You have a Weeping Gold set that was popular from the 1940s to the 1960s. The decoration was the result of pouring molten real gold over a textured glaze, thus creating a random dripping pattern.

to do, which is dip down. But then, we are talking about Jose Valverde, who isn’t someone known for consistency.

Former Major League pitcher Dirk Hayhurst cried foul on Yahoo! Sports -- but not for reasons you’d think.

“A pitcher spitting into his mitt is nothing new, scandalous or even the best way to doctor a baseball,” Hayhurst said. “Why, with all the advances in ball doctoring technology available to today’s modern player, hocking a loog on a baseball is like trying to kill an antelope with a sharp stick.”

Gaylord Perry, who threw the pitch well into the ‘80s during his Hall of Fame career, has always defended the practice of, well ... messing with the ball. In interviews of late, he says that he “stretched” the rules a bit.

“I corked a few bats in my day also, but it didn’t do me any good because I was a lousy hitter.

None of those things are gonna help you unless you have the ability to begin with.”

And, at the very least, a bit of a stuffy nose. * * *

Putting from off the green

growing toward the hole, and there are no obstacles that interfere with the putt, don’t hesitate to use your putter.

But what I find many of my students do when putting from just off the green is they get too quick and jab at the ball instead of using their natural, smooth stroke. When you set up to your putt make sure your grip is tension free, ball placement is the same as a normal putt, and you use your natural putting stroke without trying to jab at the ball.

The more you incorporate all the elements from your natural setup and putting stroke the more consistent you will be from just off the green.
