TIDBITS® TAKES A DIVEUNDER THE SEAby Kathy WolfeThere is some pretty intriguing life in the world’s oceans, and this week, Tidbits dives into examining some of the unusual creatures found there.

• Probably the most feared shark and fre-quently called a “man-eater,” the great white shark actually prefers a dinner of sea lion rather than human prey. The species’ Latin name Carchardon Carcharias, translates “jag-ged teeth,” and indeed, this shark has about 3,000 teeth, all arranged in several rows. They fi nd their prey very easily due to their extreme sensitivity to the electrical fi eld surrounding living creatures, perceiving half a billionth of a volt. They’re found in every major ocean, and have a life span of more than 30 years. How likely are you to experience an unprovoked at-tack by a shark? You’re more likely to die from a lightning strike. • Due to the publicity generated by the death of adventurer Steve Irwin, lots of folks believe that the manta ray can kill a human. Irwin’s chest was pierced by a stingray, not a manta. The manta is the largest of all rays, up to 25 feet (7.6 m) across, weighing as much as 5,100 pounds (2,300 kg). While its tail is similar to that of a stingray, it does not have a stinger and is harmless to swimmers. turn the page for more!

UNDER THE SEA (continued):• The squid, snail, octopus and clam are all ex-amples of mollusks, soft-bodied creatures with no internal skeleton. Some mollusks have a hard outer-shell; some do not. More than 85,000 spe-cies of mollusks have been identifi ed, and most probably there are many more that have not yet been discovered. • The common squid can be found in all of the oceans of the world. Most are about 24 inches (60 cm) long, but the giant squid reaches lengths of 43 feet (13 m). In 2003, an even larger species was discovered, the colossal squid, which may grow to 46 feet (14 m). When in danger, the squid emits a cloud of ink from a sac to confuse its predators. This mollusk has the largest eyes in the animal kingdom; in fact, the colossal squid’s eyes have a diameter of about 11 inches (28 cm). • Certain octopuses have a life span of only six months. Even the longer-living species only live about four years. Reproduction takes its toll on this sea creature, with males surviving only a few months after mating and females dying within a short time after their eggs hatch. An octopus, like the squid, is a cephalopod, which translates to “head to foot” because its appendages are attached to its head. Also like the squid, the octopus ejects a cloud of dark ink when threatened by predators. The ink is colored by melanin, the same compound that gives humans our hair color. Not only can the octopus eject ink for protection, it can instantly camoufl age itself, changing the color of its skin to match its environment.

¥ Use a measuring cup when adding deter-gent to the washer. You'll avoid using too much detergent, which can get costly. You'll also avoid having residual soap left in the fabric.

¥ If you have air conditioning, use a program-mable thermostat. You can set it to a higher temperature overnight, when it's naturally cooler, and have it cool down the house right about the time you'll get home, so there's no wasted energy cooling a house with no one in it.

¥ "When putting woody-stemmed fl owers, such as roses, in a vase, cut the stem diago-nally and whack with a small mallet. It will absorb water much better this way." -- A.R. in Mississippi

¥ Save small milk cartons and wash well. Fill with water and freeze. You can use these in your picnic basket for an easy cold pack to keep foods chilled.

¥ Too many suds in the sink? Try sprinkling them with salt. The foam will settle down quickly!

¥ "Shower rings (the hooks that hold your shower curtain to the curtain bar) can be used for lots of things. I keep one in my sew-ing basket to hold safety pins. It's terrifi c, and the pins are orderly and easy to fi nd." -- E.L. in Utah

www.tidbitskingman.com DDJ Enterprises, LLC 3UNDER THE SEA (continued):• The largest octopus is the Giant Pacific Oc-topus, which swims in the waters off British Columbia. Their average weight is usually about 33 pounds (15 kg), with an arm span of about 14 feet (4.3 m) and rarely exceeds 90 pounds (40.8 kg). However, the occasional one is found that lives up to the name “giant,” such as the largest ever caught, which weighed about 600 pounds (272 kg). • The mythological mermaid first appeared in stories around 1,000 B.C. An Assyrian legend tells of the goddess Atargatis falling in love with a mortal shepherd. When she accidentally killed him, she was so devastated, she jumped into a lake and took the form of a fish. Although beau-tiful, mermaids don’t have a very good reputa-tion. Folklore tells of them singing to people to enchant them, then luring them to their doom. Rather than rescuing drowning sailors, they squeeze the life out of them. British tales speak of seeing a mermaid as an unlucky omen, one that foretells of impending disaster. • The blue whale is the largest animal in the world, weighing between 100 and 150 tons (100,000 to 150,000 kg). Even at birth, they are huge — 23 to 27 feet long (7 to 8.2 m) with a birth weight of three tons (2,722 kg)! A calf will nurse for about eight months, during which it will drink 100 gallons (379 l) of milk every day, putting on about 200 pounds (91 kg) a day. That’s eight pounds (3.6 kg) an hour! When a calf is weaned, it is 52 feet (16 m) long and weighs about 23 tons (20,900 kg).

¥ On June 20, 1975, director Steven Spielberg’s thriller “Jaws” debuts in theaters. A $700,000 marketing campaign preceded the film’s release, helping it to earn some $7 million in its opening weekend alone. The mechanical shark’s name was “Bruce.”

¥ On June 21, 1964, Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney are killed by a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob near Meridian, Miss. The three young civil-rights workers were helping to register black voters in Mississippi, thus inspiring the ire of the local Klan.

¥ On June 22, 1944, President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration creates the Servicemen’s Readjust-ment Act of 1944, better known as the G.I. Bill. The bill gave returning servicemen access to unemploy-ment compensation, low-interest home and busi-ness loans, and -- most importantly -- funding for education.

¥ On June 23, 1927, The Sioux County Pioneer newspaper of North Dakota reports that President Calvin Coolidge will be “adopted” into a Sioux tribe at Fort Yates on the border of North Dakota. At the Sioux ceremony, photographers captured Coolidge, in suit and tie, as he was given a grand ceremonial feathered headdress.

¥ On June 24, 1953, Jacqueline Bouvier and Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy of publicly announce their engagement. Kennedy gave her a 2.88-carat diamond-and-emerald ring. Kennedy went on to become the 35th president and Jackie became one of the most popular first ladies ever to grace the White House.

¥ On June 25, 1915, the German press publishes an official statement from the country’s war com-mand addressing the German use of poison gas at the start of the Second Battle of Ypres two months earlier. The Germans had fired more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two French colonial divisions in April, claiming the French had first used gas in August 1914.

¥ On June 26, 1892, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck is born. Her novel "The Good Earth" (1930), describing peasant life in China, became an international bestseller and was translated into 30 languages. Buck wrote 80 novels and books.

UNDER THE SEA (continued):• Just the tongue of a blue whale has a weight of 2.7 tons (2,700 kg), more than an elephant. Fif-ty people could stand on it! Its mouth can hold up to 90 tons of food and water, but strangely enough, the whale’s throat dimensions only al-low for it to swallow an item the size of a beach ball. The heart weighs 1,300 pounds (590 kg), the size of a small car, and beats just 10 times per minute. Its major arteries are large enough for a small child to crawl through.• “Benthic marine algae” is a fancy name used by scientists for seaweed. Seaweed is used for everything from food to medicine to fertil-izer. People in some Asian countries consider some varieties a great delicacy and receive health benefits from its rich deposits of calcium, magnesium and iodine. Folks in Belize mix it with milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla for a popular beverage. Germans add seaweed’s compounds to many of their beers. You’ll find it in cosmetics, wound dressings, toothpaste and diet pills. Exclusive spas offer seafood wraps for the body. At the hardware store, seaweed is present in paints and fertilizers. • An echinoderm is characterized by “racial symmetry,” that is, several arms radiating from a central body. The most familiar echinoderm is the starfish. Although we think of the starfish as having five arms or “rays,” there are several species that have six or more. Some have 10 to 15 arms, and the Antarctic species Labidiaster annulatus can even have up to 50! A starfish’s mouth is found on the underside of its body, and many of these creatures swallow their prey whole. Although the lifespan of the average star-fish is about 10 years, some live past 30.

Recently, I spoke with Dr. Karen "Doc" Hal-ligan, a veterinarian and author who has ap-peared on shows like "The Today Show" and "Animal Rescue 911." She is the author of "What Every Pet Owner Should Know: Pre-scriptions for Happy, Healthy Cats and Dogs."Foremost on my mind was on how pet own-ers who are financially challenged -- whether seniors on a fixed income, unemployed or otherwise having difficulties -- could con-tinue to keep their pets healthy. In addition to stressing the importance of preventive care, Halligan urges owners to tell their vet if they're having money problems."I tell owners, be up front with your vet," says Halligan. "Say (that) money is a factor. Don't come in there and think that we're going to change the way we treat your pet because you tell us you can't afford it. That's not the case. We need to know if you're on a fixed income ... [to] come up with a game plan to keep your pet as healthy as possible and try to save you money."

SPONSORED BY

Here are a few tips from Halligan on affordably keeping pets healthy:--Flea and tick prevention in summer is para-mount. Look for the first generic drug for pets, www.petarmor.com/PetArmor Plus, a topical solution that costs half as much as Frontline. It's available from vets as well as at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.--Keep vaccinations up to date: diseases like parvo can be fatal to pets, but are completely preventable.--Pets need annual checkups: "Animals age 7 years in 1 year," says Doc. "If you (only) take them every three years, that's like 21 years (be-tween checkups)."Want to read more of my interview with Doc Hal-ligan? Visit www.pawscorner.com.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS;DAVE DRAVECKYLittle boys dream of playing in the big leagues, as did Dave Dravecky, who pitched his fi rst no-hitter as a teen. After attaining his dream, tragedy struck. Yet this inspirational man picked himself up and has gone on to help those plagued by disease. Hats off to this courageous gentleman! • Ohio-born Dravecky was 26 years old when he was drafted by the San Diego Padres and made his Major League Baseball debut in 1982. The left-handed pitcher won 14 games in his second season and represented the Padres in 1983’s All-Star game. The next year, he contributed to the Padres’ fi rst-ever pennant.• In 1987, the San Francisco Giants acquired Dravecky, who was at the peak of his career. On the 1988 season’s opening day, he pitched a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers. Late that sea-son, a desmoid tumor, a rare type of cancer that develops in the tissue that forms tendons and ligaments, was discovered in his pitching arm. Dravecky underwent surgery that October, and half of the deltoid muscle (the one that forms the rounded contour of the shoulder) was removed. In addition, the long humerus bone in his arm was frozen in an attempt to eradicate all cancer-ous cells. • Dravecky’s circumstance might have been a career ender for a lesser man. His doctors told him, “Short of a miracle, you’ll never pitch again.” But he was determined to make a come-back, and defying all odds, the following July, he was pitching in the minors. The next month, Au-gust of 1989, a miracle happened, and Dravecky was back on the mound for the Giants in an amazing comeback game against the Cincinnati Reds at Candlestick Park. He pitched eight in-nings and the Giants defeated the Reds 4-3.

Hi this is Eunice from Diet Center. I have a nutrition tip and a weight loss tip for you this week. Your nutrition tip for the week is to select whole grains over refi ned carbohydrates. You may wonder what’s the difference? Refi ned carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body like simple sugars, resulting in increased blood sugar and in-sulin levels. Refi ned carbohydrates include processed foods such as bread, pasta, or crackers. When whole grains are refi ned, the fi ber-rich bran and other nutrients are re-moved during the processing. Whole grains are complex carbohydrates in which the fi ber-rich bran and other nutrients have not been removed. Therefore, whole grains are higher in fi ber and offer more ben-efi cial nutrients. How to determine if a product is refi ned or if it is a whole grain can be misleading. Refi ned grains can legally be labeled “whole-grain,” “multi-grain,” or other misleading names. Refi ned carbohydrates include white fl our, wheat fl our, enriched fl our and degerminated cornmeal. There are a couple of ways you can deter-mine if a product is whole grain. If you see the following terms as the fi rst ingredient on the list of ingredients, then it’s considered to be whole-grain: whole wheat, whole grain, oats, rolled oats, whole rolled oats, whole grain corn and oatmeal. Brown rice, wild rice, barley, and bulgur are also whole grains. An-other clue to look for is the fi ber content on the Nutrition Facts panel. It’s smart to look

for 2 grams of fi ber or more per serving. With a little practice, you should fi nd it easy to deter-mine if a product is whole grain or not. Your weight loss tip of the week is to eat nonfat dairy. Such as nonfat yogurt, nonfat cottage cheese, or skim milk. Results from a weight loss study further support the fact that calcium-rich foods may help with weight control. In the study, dieters consumed three 6-ounce servings of nonfat dairy for 12 weeks. The dieters who consumed nonfat dairy lost 22% more weight than the dieters who ate little or no dairy. On average, nonfat yogurt eat-ers lost 14 pounds, while the dieters who didn’t consume much dairy lost 11 pounds. The nonfat yogurt eaters lost an even more signifi cant amount of body fat. Compared to the non-dairy eaters, the yogurt eaters lost 60% more body fat (and maintained more muscle mass)! You can incorporate yogurt into your meal plan in several delicious ways. Eat it with chopped fruit and/or your favorite whole-grain cereal. You can make smoothies by combining yogurt, skim milk and fruit.Consuming yogurt can be a sweet treat that may help you with your weight loss! Thank you for reading Diet Center’s tips of the week. If you need help with weight loss Diet Center is here to help with 4 four successful weight loss programs to choose from. Please call 928-753-5066 or stop by 1848 Hope in King-man.

BICYCLES (continued):• In the 1890s, the first “modern” bicycles

appeared: chain-driven vehicles with simi-larly-sized tires. These were safer than the high-wheel models (and were even called “safety bicycles” as a result), but proved a step backwards in comfort. While the long spokes of high-wheel bikes absorbed bumps and ruts, the smaller wheels on these new bikes, particularly when coupled with the hard-rubber tires of the era, made for jarring, unpleasant rides.

• More than a million bicycles were sold in the United States by the time 1895 rolled around, but one last improvement would propel the bicycle into the must-own category: the pneu-matic tire. Under the guidance of the Pope Manufacturing Company (which made bi-cycles), the Hartford Rubber Works produced America’s first pneumatic tires in 1895. Pro-viding a much softer ride, they soon became a standard feature on all bicycle models.

• Dozens of smaller-scale improvements boosted the speed, comfort, longevity and performance of bicycles during the 20th century. As women began to find them as necessary as men, two varieties of bicycle were made. Men’s bikes were built with an extra stabilizer bar across the top of the bike. Women’s bikes omitted the bar, providing for easier mounting and dismounting of the vehicle when wearing skirts.

• The 1970s saw the development of two bi-cycle extremes. First came bicycles that took you nowhere. Otherwise known as exercise bikes, these training aids first hit the home market at the beginning of the decade. Then, as time went on and the energy crisis sent fuel prices skyrocketing, mopeds appeared. These bicycle/motorcycle hybrids, most popular with city-centered business workers, could either be pedaled like a regular bike or powered using a small, low-powered gasoline engine.

STRANGE BUT TRUEBy Samantha Weaver

DRAVECKY (continued):• Five days later, Dravecky was in Montreal, up against the Expos. He started off the game with three no-hit innings, another incredible deed. In the sixth inning, he allowed a home run on the first batter, and hit the second batter. With the third batter came what has been called “the pitch that could be heard around the world.” Dravecky’s humerus bone broke in two, and in his words, “You could hear the popping noise of my arm breaking all over the stadium. I never felt that kind of pain in my life. It felt like my arm was coming off.” In the post-season playoffs, the Giants won the National League pennant, and as the ecstatic team piled onto each other, his arm was broken again. • As doctors X-rayed the broken arm, a mass was discovered, and it was confirmed that the cancer was back. Eighteen days later, Dravecky announced his retirement and entered a new phase of his life. In 1990, he published a book “Comeback,” which detailed his battles with cancer and his remarkable return to baseball. What he thought was his recovery continued, with surgeries and radiation, yet his arm was actually deteriorating. In June of 1991, his arm, shoulder blade, and left side of his collar bone were amputated in an attempt to save his life. • Dravecky’s second book, published in 1992 was entitled “When You Can’t Come Back.” He has gone on to become a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Along with his wife Jan, he has also founded a non-profit organization, Endurance, to support those affected by cancer.

¥ It was philosopher, historian, mathematician and Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell who made the following sage observation: "In all af-fairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted."

¥ The giant Pacific octopus, the largest oc-topus in the world, is a prolific breeder. Ex-tremely prolific. The female lays approximately 56,000 eggs, all at once. And since, according to experts, the population is stable, of those 56,000 eggs, only two survive to reproduce.

¥ It was Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the United States, who ordered the White House's first bathtub in the 1850s.

¥ Harry Houdini is best known as a magician and an escape artist, but he also performed amazing stunts. In the early days of aviation, he flew in an airplane to an altitude of 3,000 feet, then jumped off the plane onto another one -- while wearing handcuffs.

¥ A recent study conducted by researchers at a university in Sweden found that if a person has to commute longer than 45 minutes to work, he or she is 40 percent more likely to get divorced.

¥ There are more languages and dialects spo-ken in India than in any other country in the world: in excess of 1,600 at last count.

¥ If you're planning a trip to Marrakesh, Mo-rocco, be sure to visit the Koutoubiya minaret. In 1195 Sultan Yakub al Mansur commanded that the minaret be built in thanksgiving for a military victory, and the tower is lovely. The structure's unique attribute, however, is not visible -- it's olfactory. When the minaret was being built, 960 sacks of musk were mixed in with the mortar, and the odor can still be detected today.***Thought for the Day: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." -- Voltaire

Trivia Test Answers


THE SANDWICHSince the average American eats 193 sand-wiches every year, about 300 million nation-wide every day, it’s certainly worth taking a look at this lunchtime staple. • British statesman John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, was a diehard poker fan. Back in 1762, during lengthy gambling ses-sions, he asked his cook to bring him food that wouldn’t interrupt his game and would enable him to hold on to his cards. Slices of roast beef were placed between two pieces of toast and the “sandwich” was born! Montagu was also the namesake for the Sandwich Islands, now known as the Hawaiian Islands. When British Captain Cook became the fi rst European to see Hawaii, he named them after Montagu who had been the sponsor of his voyage and was the First Lord of the Admiralty. • On an ordinary day during the Great Depres-sion, the butcher shop delivered beef rather than hot dogs to Pat Olivieri’s Philadelphia hot dog street cart. Olivieri used the beef for his own lunch by slicing it thin and grilling some onions along with it, then put it on one of his hot dog buns. When a passing cab driver smelled it, he ordered one and before long, most of Philly’s cab drivers were stopping by. In the years fol-lowing, Olivieri added cheese, and the famous Philly Cheese Steak was offi cially invented. • Thanks to John Harvey Kellogg of cereal fame, the average child will consume 1,500 peanut but-ter sandwiches by the time high school gradua-tion is reached. Kellogg was the fi rst person to obtain a patent for the process of making peanut butter. Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich was peanut butter and banana.

THE SANDWICH (continued):• A bunch of bologna? According to Kraft Foods, about 2.19 billion Oscar Mayer bologna sandwiches are eaten every year. Do the math — that’s 69 sandwiches every single second. • A 17-year-old Connecticut youth hoping to become a medical doctor changed the way we eat sandwiches in 1965. Fred DeLuca was try-ing to fi gure out how to pay for his education when a family friend loaned him $1,000 to go into partnership in a submarine sandwich shop. Bridgeport, Connecticut, was the site of the fi rst Subway in August of that year. Today there are more than 34,000 Subways around the globe, and DeLuca is on Forbes magazine’s list of the 400 richest Americans, with a net worth of about $1.8 billion. • No matter what you call it — submarine, hoa-gie, poor boy, torpedo, hero or grinder — it’s all the same. It’s a sandwich on a long oblong roll stacked with meats and cheeses. During World War II, Benedetto Capaldo’s New London, Con-necticut, deli received a call from the U.S. Navy’s Groton submarine base for 500 hero sand-wiches. It was the fi rst of many orders, and the employees began calling the sandwiches “subs” because of where they were headed. During World War I, Italian workers at a Philadelphia shipyard named Hog Island brought large cold cut sandwiches with them to work. The workers were nicknamed “hoggies,” and soon the name of their lunch was modifi ed to hoagie. It’s a Poor Boy in St. Louis and a Po’ Boy in New Orleans. • The Muffaletta sandwich is a New Orleans specialty made on a round loaf of Italian bread, typically called a “muff,” fi lled with salami, ham, Provolone cheese and a hearty spread of olives, pimientos, garlic, onions and capers.
