• It was American publisher and author William Feather who made the following sage observation: “The petty economies of the rich are just as amazing as the silly extravagances of the poor.”

• The parents of one first-grade student at Hampton Day School in Bridgehampton, N.Y., once sued the school for not assigning homework to their 6-year-old son. In a victory for students everywhere, the parents lost.

• You probably know that the Chinese script is made up of ideograms: pictures that represent objects or ideas. Often, words are formed by pairing simple symbols to convey a more complex idea. For instance, the symbol for “eye” combined with the symbol for “water” creates the word “teardrop.” Pair “mouth” with “bird” and you get song. And, interestingly, pairing two women together makes the symbol for “quarrel,” and three means “gossip.”

• Census data show that women in the South tend to live longer than their counterparts in northern states.

Don’t fall in love with your investments. May I ask you a question? In these three categories below, which

category is most important to you? # 1 # 2 # 3 God safety mutual funds Health growth stocks Security income bonds Family preferential tax CD’s Freedom annuities Peace of mind real estate When I ask this Question out loud to audiences, they all correctly identify category # 1.The second most important category would be # 2. The least important is # 3.

My point is, it really doesn’t matter which financial tools you use as long as you canaccomplish # 2, which in turn makes it easier to accomplish # 1.

So my advice to you is don’t fall in love with your investments, if you want to fall inlove with something, fall in love with the results of your investments . What are the results we need when it comes to our money, and most importantly when weare nearing retirement or are already retired? # 1 .

Growth of our nest egg, being able to participate in the market when it go’s up. an lock in your gains along the way so the market can’t take them back.# 3 . Income in your retirement that is guaranteed never to run out as long as you live an most importantly, without giving up control of your nest egg.# 4 . taxes, to be able to minimize an control them.

• On July 18, AD 64, the great fire of Rome breaks out and destroys much of the city. Despite the well-known stories, there is no evidence that Roman emperor Nero either started the fire or played the fiddle while it burned. The fiddle did not even exist at the time. Nero was actually 35 miles away in Antium when the fire broke out.

• On July 21, AD 365, a powerful earthquake off the coast of Greece causes a tsunami that devastates the city of Alexandria, Egypt. It was not until 1995 that archaeologists discovered the ruins of the old city off the coast of present-day Alexandria.

• On July 19, 1879, Doc Holliday commits his first murder, killing a man for shooting up his New Mexico saloon. Despite his formidable

reputation as a deadly gunslinger, Doc Holliday only engaged in eight shootouts during his life, and it has only been verified that he killed two men.

• On July 22, 1923, John Herbert Dillinger joins the Navy in order to avoid charges of auto theft in Indiana, marking the beginning of America's most notorious criminal's downfall. Years later, Dillinger's reputation was forged in a single 12-month period, during which he robbed more banks than Jesse James did in 15 years.

• On July 24, 1901, William Sydney Porter, otherwise known as O. Henry, is released from prison after serving three years in jail for embezzlement from a bank in Austin, Texas. He began writing stories to support his young daughter while he was in prison.

July 7 - 13, 2011

Joey Logano, who won the Sprint Cup Series' Rookie of the Year award in 2009, turned some heads at Infineon Raceway by winning the pole.

The 21-year-old had won a pole before, at Bristol in 2010, but few expected him to record the fastest time at a road course. Race day wasn't bad, either, as Logano finished a creditable sixth in his No. 20 Home Depot Toyota. It was easily his best-ever finish at the series' two road courses, Infineon and Watkins Glen.

The Sonoma, Calif., layout provided a welcome and unexpected lift in Logano's fortunes. The Middletown, Conn., native remains only 23rd in the points standings after finishing 20th in 2009 and 16th in 2010. The Infineon finish was only his third top-10 of the season to date.

"This is the last place I figured we'd ever get a pole," said Logano after averaging more than 93 mph around the 11-turn, 1.99-mile course.

After the sixth-place finish, he added, "I can't tell you how badly I needed something like this. It's definitely going to help our season. I think it's definitely going to get us some momentum."

Logano was NASCAR's youngest top rookie ever, and he also became the youngest driver ever to win a Cup race on June 28, 2009, when he won a rain-shortened race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

At Sonoma, Robby Gordon and Logano clashed during the race."That's no big deal to me," said Logano, referring to Gordon. "I don't know.

He was running me all over the race track. He knocked my fender in for no reason. We were a lot, lot faster than him. I just had enough. I wasn't going to get pushed around. He pushed me around before, and I was sick of it.

"I think that's a small story. That's not a big deal. We finished sixth. I'm pretty happy about that."

What would be a big story would be a Logano come-back, now that he has some momentum. To make the Chase, he would have to win at least one race and

Q: I am so happy “Hardcore Pawn” has returned for a fourth season. Will it be back for a fifth, or is it too early to tell? -- Dirk S., via e-mail

A: TruTV’s breakout hit, which centers on one of the world’s largest pawn shops, had such terrific premiere ratings for Season Four that the network has already renewed it for another 13-episode season, which is slated to begin later this year.

• • •Q: I was sad when Thad

Luckinbill left “The Young and The Restless” last year, so you can imagine how happy I was to see him on the CW’s “Nikita.” Will his character be back for Season Two? -- Charlene, via e-mail

A: Thad, who you also can see this month in Hallmark Channel’s “Keeping Up With the Randalls,” gave me the scoop: “I think that’s yet to be determined. They were honest about it and told me that they weren’t sure exactly what to do with it, so that is why they left it open. It’s like anything, I think if the story’s right and it matches up to bring him back, then that would be great. I would love it. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

“I think it would be a good twist if they decided to bring him back. It was really a fun group to work with and a really cool show. I love how stylized that show is. I think that was what I was most impressed with. Not just the way they shoot, but the way it looks. It’s just a really pretty show.”

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I'm writing in regards to your recent column asking whether pets are more than just part of the family, and instead like another child. Some of your readers responded yes to that question.

Like most pet owners, I have been very attached to our pets. However, I find the "pets as children" idea rather false as well as disrespectful to the ani-mal. Animals should be accepted for what they are, not remade into children. Most dogs are intelligent, adult animals, and it is insulting to treat them like silly little children.

Also, most pets are spayed or neutered, and we would never do that to children or any other fam-ily members. We could use procedures that would prevent pregnancy, without eliminating sexual behavior, but in animals that behavior tends to be a nuisance.

Pets can be a real blessing, and they should be respected. -- Barbara B., via email

Don't Remake Pets Into Children

By Sam Mazzotta

DEAR BARBARA: Those are very good points, and thank you for bringing them up! One of the most important things we can learn from caring for pets is compassion and respect for all animals, both tame and wild.

Dogs and cats also require specific care, includ-ing, as Barbara points out, spaying or neutering

to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the occur-rence of abandoned or abused animals. Vaccines and licenses also are typically required by law. Your child doesn't have to wear visible tags, but your dog (and often your cat) does.

Does this mean that owners somehow love their pets less? I think not -- most are devoted to their pet and its welfare and happiness. That's something to be valued.

Send your question or comment to [email protected], or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and information, visit www.pawscorner.com.



Puzzle Answers

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please address Meniere’s disease in your column. I am 88, a female and in good general health. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. I weigh 125 pounds and am 5 feet 1 inch tall. My diet consists mostly of health foods. -- G.R.

ANSWER: Vertigo (dizziness), ear noises (tinni-tus) and fluctuating hearing loss are the three signs of Meniere’s (men-YAIRS) disease. Vertigo comes in spells lasting 20 minutes or more, and they leave the person off balance for several days. Tinnitus can be ringing, roaring, hissing or other sounds that come and go but eventually stay permanently. The same happens with episodes of hearing loss. It becomes a permanent problem in time. All these signs are due to a buildup of fluid in the inner ear, the place where hearing and balance take place.

Treatment of Meniere’s focuses on ridding the inner ear of the fluid buildup. A strict low-salt diet goes a long way in reducing symptoms. The reason is that salt brings on fluid retention. Restricting caffeine and alcohol also helps. Diuretics -- water pills -- might be needed to get rid of the fluid.

A hearing aid usually overcomes deafness.Dizzy spells are accompanied by nausea and

vomiting. Antivert and Phenergan relieve all three.

Should these measures fail, more-heroic efforts are called into play. One is an injection in the ear of the antibiotic gentamicin, which destroys the ear’s balance organ and eliminates dizziness. Another approach is the Meniett device, a little gadget that creates pressure pulses that are transmitted to the inner ear. The pulses pump fluid out. A doctor has to make a small hole in the eardrum so the pressure waves can make their way to the inner ear.

An ear, nose and throat doctor can evaluate you and determine if you are a candidate for these treat-ments or for other treatments I haven’t discussed.

The booklet on vertigo discusses its many causes and treatments. Readers can obtain a copy by writ-ing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 801W, Box 536475. Or-lando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please al-low four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR.

DONOHUE: I have a pain that starts near my elbow and shoots down my arm to the little finger. It doesn’t happen all the time. I don’t know what brings it on. It just appears to happen for no reason. What could this be? -- E.J.

ANSWER: I’m sure you’ve

Hearing, Balance Woes Can Signal Meniere’s

heard of carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s due to a compression of a wrist nerve as it passes through a tunnel of ligaments and bones on its way to the hand and fingers.

You describe something similar, compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. This nerve supplies the little finger and the adjacent side of the ring finger. Compression of the nerve causes the kind of symp-toms you have. You can try a simple treatment, an elbow splint. Your wear it at night, and the elbow should be bent about 60 degrees. Give it a week. If the pain doesn’t leave, you should have an exam. Other conditions can cause the same kind of pain.

10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.

2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.

3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.

4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.

5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.

7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product. These include the growth factors, polypeptides and actives in Ageless Renewal Serum, the lipid-based CoQ10 in Ageless Actives, and many more.

9. ISAGENIX IS AHEAD OF THE CURVEThe Isagenix Quality, Regulatory, Technology, Science (QRTS) teams use the latest scientific research to create life-changing products, thus solidifying its position as an industry leader.
