5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“What’s Good For The Goose,…” -by Bob PerryThe timing is just right for the House of Representatives to ‘once and for all’ estab-lish an unwritten rule that laws passed for the citizenry of the United States is duly applicable to those that make the laws. ‘What is good for the goose is good for the gander’ is a modern day version of an English proverb dating back to 1670 and is notably a woman’s proverb citing dif-ferences between women and men should not exist. The quote reads “That that’s good sawce for a goose, is good for a gan-der”. [1670 J. Ray English Proverbs 98]. The timing is as good as it gets for the House, if it has the fortitude to proceed, can amend the CR (Continuous Resolu-tion funding the government) that the Senate just passed back to the house, void of the de-funding amendment of the Af-fordable Care Act, for approval. The Sen-ate is out for the weekend and returning Monday just in time to take up the revised bill the House will have created and either passes the revised bill or force a shutdown since time will have run out. The last act before a shutdown, if it occurs, would be time-wise on the Senate’s clock. The Affordable Care Act is a prime example that should be used to force law makers to cease declaring they are better than the rest of us. In addition, I would suggest that additional language be added that de-lays the implementation of the ‘individual mandate’ for a year. The Democrats rep-resentatives from purple and red states

would welcome such a delay to avoid the negativity the Act will undoubtedly pro-duce. The President has exceeded his authority and should face impeachment since he has changed the act some 19 times since 2010. Once law has been made law no-one can change it except Congress. Why is there a delay in stopping this constitutional trav-esty by proceeding with impeachment? Members of Congress enjoys a 72% con-tribution rate by us, the tax payers’ for the cost of the health care they now enjoy. Congress and the administration should be forced to eat the sausage they make. I would bet that they would insist that the 72% contribution would continue if they become subject. If the House takes the ac-tions I suggest the Republicans will un-doubtedly come out winners in the public opinion since 80% of the citizenry agree that Congress should live by the laws we are subject to. If there is any will to have a shutdown it appears to be the Democrats that want to blame it on the Republicans. After this fi asco, there is a need to in-crease the debt limit by October 17th and here we go again! The President has stated unequivocally he will not negotiate with Congress over the debt limit, but, as the Speaker of the House has noted, “it just doesn’t work that way”. We have long-term economic problems and they need to be resolved. The making of laws requires compromise and look who is not willing to...

A couple of photos in this edition were taken, September 27th, during the services held at Bradford’s Tem-ple Beth El on the occasion of the joy-ous Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. On this holiday the Jews celebrate the completion of the annual reading of the Torah (the fi ve books of Moses) and af-fi rm Torah as one of the pillars of learn-ing on which they attempt to build their lives. As part of the celebration, the To-rah scrolls are taken from the ark and carried or danced around the synagogue seven times. During the Torah service, the concluding section of the fi fth book of the Torah, D’varim (Deuteronomy), is read, and immediately following, the opening section of Genesis, or B’reishit as it is called in Hebrew, is read. This signifi es the continuous yearly cycle of reading the Torah.…….Most of the photos, however come to us from the classrooms at School Street Elemen-tary School. We stopped in at Ms. Gingerich’s fi fth grade room, where students were involved in small group reading, continued on to Miss Hunter’s art room where fourth grade students were designing and drawing haunted houses, and fi nished off the shoot with photos and a video in Mr. Thompson’s classroom where students were busy with mathematics……..For those who might want to know, the 24/7 work-out center previously located on Main Street Bradford, Main Street Fitness, has now moved to 155 Main Street in Eldred. Lisa Hannahs, owner, welcomes one and all to take advantage of the facilities at the new location……..For those of our read-ers who might have missed last month’s fund drive by the Bradford Area Public Library, donations for the drive can still be sent to BAPL, 67 West Washington Street, Bradford, PA 16701-1234……..It is has just been announced that the Iranian and US Presidents have communicated with each other for the fi rst time since 1979. That was the year in which an Ira-nian President and governing body was elected that didn’t favor close ties with our government. In the meantime, in the ab-sence of communication over the last 33 years, we have received a steady stream of information/disinformation in the media regarding the wicked behavior of that na-tion. Where did all the information come from if we weren’t in direct communica-tion? Perhaps it came from the same spies and agencies that provided all the informa-tion/disinformation about the evils of Iraq before we mistakenly mustered the troops and went into the ten year Iraqi war. Or maybe it came directly from think tanks residing in Washington, D.C., developed to power the drums of war.

They were working on a review of adding and subtracting whole numbers and decimals. Left to right are Kayla Yohe 10, Max Hough 10, and Jamine Hanson 10. They tell us that ma-nipulating decimals is a little harder than working with whole numbers. (See the gal-lery for photos and a video.)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESSeniors: Be On High Alert For Scams

-by Jason Alderman I look forward to the day when we no longer need to warn senior citizens about scams designed to separate them from their hard-earned money. I’m not holding my breath, however. According to the FBI, senior citizens make attractive targets for con artists for a variety of reasons: • They’re more likely to have a nest egg, own their home and have good credit. • Seniors are less likely to report fraud because they don’t know where to report it, don’t realize they’ve been scammed, or are too ashamed at hav-ing been duped – possibly fearing they won’t be trusted to manage their own fi nances going forward.• When elderly victims do report crimes, they often make poor witnesses because of faulty memory. • Seniors are more susceptible to prod-ucts promising increased wealth, cog-nitive function, virility, physical con-ditioning, anti-cancer properties and so on.Here’s a roundup of common telemar-keting scams targeting seniors and how you can avoid them:Be wary, even if callers appear legiti-mate. Caller ID “spoofers” pretend-ing to represent your bank, credit card company or government agencies may try to trick you into revealing personal information under the pretext of fi xing a security breach. When in doubt, hang up and contact the organization your-self.Other common telemarketing scams in-clude: • You’ve supposedly won a free prize but are asked to pay for handling, post-age or taxes. By law, you never have to pay for any legitimate prize.• Get-rich-quick schemes, like those involving Nigerian princes trying to smuggle funds out of their country us-ing your bank account in exchange for a cut of the amount.• The “Grandparent Scam,” where someone pretending to be your grand-child calls in a panic, claiming to have been arrested or injured (often abroad) and asking you to wire them money – and not tell their parents because they’re embarrassed.• Soliciting funds for fake charities, especially after natural disasters.• Companies offering seniors free medical equipment or services. After you provide your Medicare number, they forge a doctor’s signature and bill Medicare for unneeded goods or ser-vices you never actually receive.

• Some particularly brazen thieves will even offer to help you recover money you’ve lost to other scammers (who are often part of the same operation).Although direct telephone contact is common, scammers also use mailers, email, texts and advertisements to lure potential victims into contacting them for further information. A few tip-offs these offers – whatever the channel – might be bogus: • The offer sounds too good to be true. • High-pressure sales tactics – they won’t take no for an answer have sen-sible-sounding answers for your every question or hesitation. • You must make a decision “right now” because the offer will expire soon.• Claims that you are one of just a few people eligible for the offer.• Your credit card number is requested

for verifi cation. Never provide credit card or other personal information by phone, letter or email unless you made the initial contact.• You are urged to provide money quickly and not given time to consider the offer. • There is no risk. All investments have some risk, except for U.S. Gov-ernment obligations. • They refuse to provide detailed writ-ten information. • You are asked to trust the telemar-keter. Like your mother always said, “Don’t trust strangers.”The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) has a Scam Alert Blog that ex-poses the latest scams, as well as a site where you can fi le a complaint if a busi-ness doesn’t make good on its promises or cheats you out of your money.

Bradford TOPS #Article submitted

Vickie Johnson conducted the Thursday afternoon, September 26th meeting on TOP# PA.16 at the First Presbyterian Church. There were 29 weigh-ins with a loss of 27 pounds. Pat Foote was loser of the week, and offi cer of the week was Barb Smead. Leah Zetts is loser in waiting. Vickie stated the fund raiser was a success. There will be a suggestion box for us each week starting next week. Suggestions for bettering the club will be appreciated. Bob Foote brought in his Bird houses and feeders and other things he has made. He explained how each was made and preserved. One of the favorites was a feeder painted with either Pittsburgh Pirates or Steel-ers colors and logos on them. Same with Buffalo Bills. Sue DellaValles’ Helpful Hint was: “Use versatile kitchen shears to cut fresh herbs, canned tomatoes, and to remove escess skin and fat from meats.” Bev. Hannon gave the “Thought For the Day”: “The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” The meeting was closed with a prayer.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEHints To Help You

Win At Losing (NAPSI)—If you’ve long thought you have a fat chance of staying slim, a new plan and product can be good news for you. Fat Loss Facts The plan, created by Dr. Charles Liv-ingston, is not a diet but a healthy weight lifestyle that’s a lot easier to stick to than you may think. There’s a very high success rate and you lose the weight incredibly fast. There’s even a money-back guarantee. Called the Fat Loss Factor, it offers seven ways to burn fat, fast: 1. Police your kitchen. Get rid of eve-rything that’s loaded with sugar and you’ll avoid a lot of the pitfalls that keep many people from achieving their goals. 2. Cut out that low-intensity cardio. End your useless routines and move to-ward some bursts of intense training fol-lowed by recovery paces to boost the rate at which your body burns fat. 3. Equip yourself at home to do some exercise. Get a balance ball, a weight bench and some dumbbells so you can do some work while you’re away from the gym. 4. Be careful about your eating. Sched-ule your grocery trips, and plan what you’re going to eat and when. Then be very selective at the store to get the most natural, nutritious foods you can. 5. Make a third of your diet raw fruits and veggies. They contain loads of anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins, digestive enzymes and fi ber to clean your digestive tract and pull out unwanted toxins. Grab-bing celery sticks, an apple, an orange, carrot sticks and so on is a fast and easy way to snack. Basically, the closer it is to nature, the better it’s likely to be for you and your waistline. 6. Eat only when you’re hungry. Just because it’s lunchtime doesn’t mean you have to eat. Maybe your body can use a break from digestion. In fact, occasional fasting is a healthy practice for most peo-ple. Just don’t get carried away with this and do things such as skipping breakfast every day. To save time in the morning or at any time, try a quick superfood drink such as a protein smoothie. 7. Try a dietary supplement such as an advanced digestive enzyme complex. It’s a comprehensive blend of 16 unique digestive enzymes whose key ingredients have been shown to help your body fully break down and absorb the nutrients con-tained in any and every food you eat. Just take one single capsule at the start of each meal for enhanced absorption of health-promoting, age-defying and dis-ease-fi ghting vitamins, minerals, phyto-chemicals and antioxidants from all foods.

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’ve heard that regular (sugar sweetened) soft drinks cause erosion of tooth enamel. As long as I limit soft drinks to sports drinks and diet soda, do I have to worry?A: Yes, all these drinks can threaten the enamel layer that protects teeth. Research shows it is the acidity of these drinks that causes erosion of tooth enamel. The drinks’ acidity comes mainly from the cit-ric acid, sodium citrate and phosphoric acid added to both cola and non-cola soft drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks. Regular colas tend to be most acidic, but the others are all signifi cantly more acidic than plain water. And studies generally show no difference in tooth enamel ero-sion between sugar-sweetened and sugar-free soft drinks. Even lemonade, wine and nutrient-rich fruit juices (orange, apple, grape) are more acidic than water. When the enamel protecting teeth is eroded, that leaves teeth more vulnerable to develop-ing cavities and can lead to irreversible loss of tooth minerals and structure. To protect your teeth, limit all of these acidic drinks. Even more important than the total amount you drink is the total time teeth are exposed to these acids. Extended sipping over long periods leaves teeth exposed to more acid than when such drinks are con-sumed in a short period. You might drink

some water to rinse your mouth after any of these acid-containing drinks, but wait at least 30 minutes to brush your teeth; otherwise, you worsen damage by physi-cally abrading enamel when acids have softened it. Another reason for avoiding or minimizing sugar-sweetened drinks and limiting portions of fruit juice is to help weight management.

Research Shows Fish Oil Can Contribute To Health (NAPSI)—Many believe that, de-spite recent headlines to the contrary, there are still signifi cant reasons to make omega-3 fi sh oils part of their regular diet. Here are three examples: • Taking fi sh oil may be linked to lowered risk of macular degenera-tion. A recent article published in The Journal of Nutrition reports an associa-tion between high levels of omega-3 fi sh oils and a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, the most com-mon cause of blindness in older men and women. The investigation included 963 par-ticipants, aged 73 and older. The par-ticipants underwent eye examinations during 2006−2008 and were followed for an average of 31 months. Having a higher blood level of omega-3 fats was associated with a decreased risk of de-veloping macular degeneration in this age group in comparison to participants with the lowest omega-3 levels. • As fi sh oil goes up, heart failure goes down. Boston-based researchers published a study involving over 176,000 peo-ple and found that with every 15-gram increase in fi sh consumption, there’s a subsequent 5 percent drop in the risk of heart failure. Researchers’ investiga-tions didn’t stop there. They also looked into fi sh oil supple-ments and the different types of ome-ga-3 fats, in particular DHA and EPA. They found that for every 125-mg-per-day increase in both types, there was a

3 percent decrease in heart failure risk. So it seems that most of the benefi t from omega-3 fats, at least in terms of heart failure, comes from EPA and DHA. The researchers believe that if their fi ndings are “…confi rmed by a large, randomized study, EPA and DHA sup-plements could be added to the list of lifestyle factors and drugs that can be used for the prevention of heart fail-ure.” “That’s a powerful statement coming from conventional doctors,” says Mi-chael A. Smith, M.D., senior health sci-entist for Life Extension in Fort Laud-erdale, Fla., and host of “Healthy Talk” on www.RadioMD.com.

• Fish oil can lower infl ammation. One of the results of unresolved chronic infl ammation can be cancer. Years of study have shown that cancer development is associated with increas-ing infl ammation. “Newer research is revealing that fi sh oil has exciting pos-sibilities for slowing—or even prevent-ing—cancer due to its anti-infl amma-tory effects,” says Dr. Smith, whose organization is a global leader in anti-aging and longevity research. According to Dr. Smith, women with a history of breast cancer who have the highest EPA and DHA, and subsequent lowest level of infl ammation, have about a 25 percent lower risk of addi-tional breast cancer events compared with those having the lowest intake. And there are additional studies showing a preventative benefi t of high levels of omega-3 fi sh oils and lower levels of infl ammation in prostate, co-lon, skin, lymphoma and lung cancers. Keep A Critical Eye Laboratory and clinical research con-tinues to reveal how important fi sh oil is to health and well-being. Omega-3 fi sh oils lower infl ammation, protect against cancer and improve your heart, brain and eyes.

Family-Friendly Tips From An Active Firefighter Family-Friendly Tips From An Active Firefighter On How Play Can Help Educate Children On How Play Can Help Educate Children

About Fire PreventionAbout Fire Prevention (NAPSI)—Most children know what to do when approached by a stranger, but do they know what to do in the event of a house fi re? According to the offi cial sponsors of Fire Prevention Week, the National Fire Protection As-sociation (NFPA), children under age 5 have historically faced a higher risk of fi re death than the overall population due to a lack of preparation. In honor of National Fire Prevention Week, which takes place in October—but, accord-ing to the NFPA, should be an ongoing event—families should consider ways to develop fi re safety plans that eve-ryone in the house can remember and implement, especially the littlest in the bunch. “There are easy things that families can do to ensure safety year-round,” said NFPA expert and active fi refi ghter Joe Molis. “For example, most peo-ple aren’t aware that fi re extinguishers should be serviced annually. They buy one, tuck it away and assume it’ll work when they need it.” According to Molis, there are other ways to make fi re prevention a more engaging activity for little ones. “We’ve found that one of the best ways to en-gage kids in a discussion of fi re preven-tion is to make it fun and to leverage familiar activities, since the topic can sometimes be intimidating.” That’s why NFPA teamed with the popular children’s toy LEGO City to of-fer creative ways to use building bricks to educate the two-thirds of households that have not prepared or practiced a home fi re escape plan. They offer the following tips: • Build the foundation: Help children feel more comfortable discussing fi re safety by working with them to con-struct their home out of a familiar me-dium such as LEGO bricks, addressing fi re safety issues along the way. Point out that they should build and identify two ways out of each room, and that all doors and windows should open easily with a clear pathway for safe exit. • Find a safe place: Every fi re evacu-ation plan should include a safe place to meet, like a tree, lamppost or neigh-bor’s porch, so your whole family can respond quickly to smoke alarms or other warning signs. Help children re-member where that spot is by building it on their custom plan. • Practice your fi re safety plan: Act out your fi re safety plan at least twice a year. First, role- play in the custom plan you build together, then re-enact it in your home. This helps remind children

about the importance of things, like keeping all exits clear of obstacles, and helps to build confi dence during a real emergency. • Be a good fi re chief: Set a good ex-ample for children. Encourage good habits by taking daily safety measures, such as ensuring there is an adult in the kitchen while food is cooking, storing matches and lighters out of the reach of children, and keeping things that can burn at least three feet from heaters. Snoqualmie, Washington mother of two, Gina Nunan, takes her kids to a fi rehouse every so often not only to “wow” them, but also to remind them of safety tips fi rst-hand. “Most fi re-houses give free tours to children with advance notice,” said Nunan. “Hearing them fi rsthand from the guys in uni-form helps get those rules to stick in their heads.” Nunan also suggests reading books that incorporate fi re safety tips at least every other month, like “No Dragons for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids (and Drag-ons),” written by Jean E. Pendziwol. For more information on fi re pre-paredness in the home, parents can visit www.Sparky.org and print out the “Sparky’s Home Safety Checklist” un-

der ACTIVITIES, then walk through the home with children, marking off the checklist to ensure the whole family is prepared for possible fi res and is work-ing together to actively prevent them. Additional child-friendly, fi re safety−themed activities and tips from LEGO City and NFPA are available at:

Glass Tough Enough For A Touch Screen World (NAPSI)—Increasingly, consumers want their portable computers to be thin-ner, sleeker and lighter weight. They also expect their computer to respond when they tap, swipe and touch its screen. No longer a novelty, touch has rapidly become the primary way many consum-ers interact with their laptops, tablets and other mobile devices. In the past, laptop computer screens used plastic as a cover material. Now, in order to support this touch-enabled world, notebooks are adopting sleek, glass cov-ers that provide better touch capabilities, as they do for your smartphone. Unfortunately, with touch comes the in-creased potential for the glass to scratch or break. Even careful interaction with these notebook devices can result in scratched cover glass and an unhappy user. As many people know, replacing a screen can be expensive and sometimes cost as much as half of the full notebook price. Plus, the repair process can leave the user without a device for days, even weeks. The good news is that a familiar name in the world of glass innovation—Corning—has addressed these issues by developing a glass solution specifi cally designed for touch screen notebooks. Called Corning® Gorilla® Glass NBT™, it’s designed to be

tough enough to handle the surface pres-sures intrinsic to these devices and thin enough to enable accurate touch responses by the device. In fact, Gorilla Glass is already used by 33 major brands on over 1,000 product models and 1.5 billion devices worldwide. It is clear that device makers now take the properties of the glass into account when designing a device. The glass is chemically strengthened through an ion exchange process that cre-ates a deep compression layer on the sur-face of the glass substrate. This layer acts as “armor” to help reduce the introduction of fl aws. The result is the cost-effective, damage-resistant solution that consumers have come to expect from the leading maker of cover glass solutions for smartphones, tablets, notebooks and other devices. While Gorilla Glass was designed with touch screens in mind, the glass has also been used in a number of large-format applications, such as digital signage and glass markerboards. It’s believed that fu-ture applications are likely to include ar-chitecture, appliances, automotive and be-yond. To see the glass in action, visit:http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/NBT-In-Action

Each decade has its own distinct foods, including desserts.Yet some of these decadent treats — such as southernLemon Chess Pie from the 1820s, Strawberry Shortcake

from the 1850s, or New York’s Black and White Cookies, firstbaked up in the Roaring 1920s — have stood the test of time.

To celebrate these nostalgic sweets, CanolaInfo’s “Decades of Decadence” recipe collection serves up a delicious trip downmemory lane with modern influence by Ellie Krieger, M.S., R.D.,host of the Cooking Channel’s “Healthy Appetite.”

“History shaped these desserts and they have stuck aroundbecause they are inherently delicious,” she says. “They weredriven by the availability of ingredients in their day, advertisingby food companies in women’s magazines and advancements infood technology or appliances.”

To boost nutrition and keep saturated fat in check, the recipesare updated with heart-healthy ingredients, such as low-fatyogurt, whole-grain flour and canola oil, which has the leastsaturated fat and most omega-3 fat of all common culinary oils.

Try this fresh, healthy update on 1930s Pineapple UpsideDown Cake, originally invented to take advantage of cannedpineapple, which is kept moist and gooey with canola oil. Take a journey back to the ’40s with Chocolate War Cake, a chocolatyindulgence that’s a cinch to make. Or dig into Frozen Grass -hopper Pie, a ’50s favorite once home freezers became common,which offers less saturated fat by using canola oil in the crustand reduced-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt in the filling.

Understanding The Affordable Care Act (NAPSI)—As the Affordable Care Act is set to be fully implemented, there is still much confusion about how the law will affect you and your family. Here are 10 things to know about the health care law’s protections and benefi ts, courtesy of AARP: 1. Health insurance companies can no longer drop your health coverage if you become sick or disabled. 2. Insurance companies cannot discrim-inate against you because of your health conditions or gender. That means health insurance companies can no longer charge you more simply because of your health status or gender. 3. Insurers cannot deny health insurance to anyone under age 19 because of a pre-existing condition, such as cancer, diabe-tes or heart disease. In 2014, Americans of all ages will be afforded this protection. 4. The health care law stops insurance companies from limiting lifetime cover-age for essential health benefi ts. In 2014, this applies to yearly limits, too. 5. Preventing illness with the right im-munizations and screenings will be sim-pler and less expensive. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, now must cov-er preventive benefi ts such as immuniza-tions and screenings for diabetes and cer-tain cancers. Be sure to check with your insurance plan about what preventive ser-vices are covered with no out-of-pocket cost to you. 6. If you are uninsured, fi nding afford-able health coverage is now easier, as it can be purchased via your state’s Health Insurance Marketplaces. It’s like an online shopping mall. You’ll be able to compare the benefi ts and costs of health plans side by side and pick the plan that works best for you and your family. For more infor-mation on your Health Insurance Market-place opening October 2013, visit www.HealthLawAnswers.org. 7. Your children can stay on your family policy up to age 26, even if they don’t live with you or are married. 8. You can sleep well knowing that your guaranteed Medicare benefi ts are safe. The Affordable Care Act strengthens Medicare, and your guaranteed Medicare benefi ts are protected, including doctor and hospital visits and rehabilitation ser-vices. If you have Medicare, there aren’t any other steps you need to take with re-gard to the new health law. 9. The “doughnut hole” is going away and the improved coverage means your out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs will be lower if you have Medicare Part D. If you have high drug costs and reach the doughnut hole this year, you will get a 52.5 percent discount on brand-name pre-scription drugs and a 21 percent discount on generic prescription drugs. Visit the Doughnut Hole Calculator at www.aarp.

org/doughnuthole to learn more about when you might reach the doughnut hole and potential medication options that may reduce your costs or help you avoid the coverage gap entirely. 10. There’s help to pay for insurance coverage. If your job does not offer health coverage and you have a limited income, you may be able to get fi nancial help to pay

for insurance coverage purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you are a small-business owner, you will have more insurance choices and op-portunities to qualify for tax credits. To learn more about how the law af-fects you and your loved ones, visit www.HealthLawAnswers.org in English, www.MiLeydeSalud.org in Spanish or call 1-888-702-9345 for more information.

Pears Take Center Plate With One-Pan Meals (NAPSI)—Weeknight meals can be both convenient and fl avorful with sim-ple one-pan recipes. The trick is to build meals from ingredients that are versatile and can complement their “pan-mates.” Northwest-grown USA Pears can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Pears pair well with chicken, pork and fi sh and make a great addition to family favorites such as pizza or grilled sandwiches. Consider adding pears to your meals for both extra fl avor and nutrition. They are an excellent source of fi ber and a good source of vitamin C. This appetizing reci-pe shows off the pear’s fl avor and versatil-ity.

Crispy Chicken Cutlets with Pears and Shallots

4 small boneless, skinless chicken breastsSalt and freshly ground black pepper¼ cup all-purpose fl our2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, di-vided3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided2 shallots, thinly sliced2 USA Pears, peeled, cored and cut in ½-inch dice¾ cup chicken stockJuice of 1 lemon1 teaspoon Dijon mustard4 teaspoons fi nely chopped fresh thyme (about 4 sprigs)2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fl at-leaf

parsley Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a heavy skil-let, pound the breasts to ¼-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper and lightly coat with fl our. Place 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam, add two of the chicken breasts and sauté on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 min-utes. Turn and sauté until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and repeat with 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter and remaining chicken breasts. Add the shallots and pears to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until lightly translucent and golden, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, mustard and any juices on the plate and deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped thyme and parsley and stir in the remaining table-spoon of butter until just melted. Spoon sauce over chicken cutlets and serve over wilted spinach. Yield: Makes 4 servings. For recipe inspiration and more, visit www.usapears.org and follow USA Pears on Facebook and Twitter.


Considerations For Cash (NAPSI)—Life changes can happen at any time. From car repairs to medical bills and tuition payments, these changes can upset the delicate fi nancial balance that many consumers need to maintain. What options are available to consum-ers to cope with these changes? Credit Cards—When using a credit card for a cash advance, consumers are often faced with high interest rates of more than 20 percent. Also, depending on the bal-ance, making just the minimum payments each month can extend the life and total amount of debt. 401(k) Savings Accounts—Taking money from this fund may not be the best choice to address fi nancial needs. In ad-dition to reporting this money as taxable income, withdrawals from a 401(k) may be subject to extra taxes of 10 percent. Payday Loans—A short-term, unse-cured loan providing cash advances based on employment records, payday loans can be extremely costly. With annual percent-age rates frequently approaching 400 per-cent, other options should be considered. Personal Bank Loans—Many consum-ers turn to personal bank loans to get the money they need to cover major expenses. However, it’s important to weigh the im-mediate need for cash against the interest and debt that must be repaid over time. Peer-to-Peer Lending—Although boast-ing lower interest rates than traditional banks, peer-to-peer lending can pose a risk to borrowers. Borrowers often do not know who their actual lender is, as these arrangements are usually set up by a third party. Therefore, borrowers may fi nd their

loan falling through at a time when they need the money most. Structured Settlement Payment Sales—Personal injury lawsuits, malpractice claims and other payouts can be distrib-uted in structured settlements. These pay-ments are divided over several years and structured to provide a steady stream of income based on each consumer’s individ-ual situation. When extra cash is needed to respond to life emergencies, selling all or a portion of these settlement payments in exchange for a tax-free lump sum can be a sensible choice.

This transaction provides consumers with the money they need now, is not con-tingent on the consumer’s credit, and cre-ates no future obligation to pay anything back. This can give consumers the ability to obtain the funds they need without ac-cumulating debt. In addition to state and federal laws, a judge approves each and every structured settlement sale to third-party buyers. J.G. Wentworth is an industry leader in purchasing structured settlement pay-ments. To learn more, visit www.jgwent-worth.com or call (866) 429-9050.

Fascinating Facts About Humans And Animals (NAPSI)—If yours is like most house-holds in the United States, you have at least one pet. That’s a good thing, considering that people who understand health care have discovered something interesting about animals—they can help improve your health.

How Pets Help Your Health According to Dr. Heather Douglas, DVM, St. George’s University/School of Veterinary Medicine, ‘06, pets can be good for you in four ways. They can de-crease your:• Blood pressure• Cholesterol levels• Triglyceride levels• Feelings of loneliness. The CDC goes on to say that pets can increase your:• Opportunities for exercise and outdoor activities• Opportunities for socialization. Adds Dr. Douglas, it’s a good idea to in-clude your dog in your exercise regimen. Whether it’s running, walking or even yoga (which dogs seem to enjoy), start

slowly and gradually build up tolerance to avoid injury to either of you. One day a week of yoga practice can improve your fl exibility, strength, balance and focus. “Based on a study by Glenn N. Lev-ine and others published in the Circula-tion journal of the American Heart Asso-ciation,” she says, “there is an association between pet ownership (primarily cat or dog) and lower blood pressure. It was also found that dog owners, who are more likely to exercise with their pet, may have a reduced risk of obesity. Dog ownership is also associated with decreased cardio-vascular risk and may have some role in reducing cardiovascular disease. “The human-animal bond is an amazing phenomenon that offers health benefi ts to both the person and pet. Incorporating man’s best friend into a workout regime can add fun to exercise, while improving the health of both the human and animal involved.” Furthermore, according to a study by the Stroke Institute of Minnesota, owning a cat can dramatically reduce your chanc-es of dying from heart disease by 30 per-

cent. The researchers suspect a dog study would provide similar results. A Smart Place To Study These Ideas One place where the study of the inter-action between humans and animals is at the forefront is St. George’s University, a fully accredited center of international medical and veterinary education on the island of Grenada in the Caribbean. There, faculty from 140 countries and students from around the world are looking into how learning about the health of humans and animals can be related. At St. George’s, the Schools of Medi-cine and Veterinary Medicine, the De-partment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine and the Windward Islands Re-search and Education Foundation provide a collaboration of expertise to support the concept of “One Health, One Medicine” and to take students from residency to fel-lowship training to employment. It’s all part of the university’s global approach to medicine. Learn More: If you are interested in a career in medicine, veterinary medicine or public health, visit

Tech Trends And Smart Homes Give Pet Parents Peace Of Mind (NAPSI)—More than 90 percent of pet owners consider their pet a family member, and most of them worry about leaving their pets home alone. Studies by the American Animal Hospital As-sociation and DogVacay.com found that 75 percent of pet parents feel guilty about leaving pets home alone while at work and 72 percent worry about their pets when traveling without them. Fortunately, technology can help pet owners care for their furry friends. For instance, the home control market is growing rapidly, giving pet lovers a va-riety of ways to remotely manage their homes and their pet’s well-being, from anywhere at any time. Driven by in-novation, increasing affordability and consumer demand, home automation services such as XFINITY Home®—Comcast’s security, control and energy management service—deliver a peace-of-mind solution to pet parents. Initially used by animal boarding and day care facilities, streaming live video is now becoming more popular among pet owners who want to keep an eye on their animals while away from home. For instance, with XFINITY Home, you can access cameras from your computer, tablet or smartphone to see what your new puppy is up to or if your cat has enough food in the dish. Other ways home automation services and technologies can help pet parents provide the best possible care for their four-legged friends include: Keep Your Pets Cared For Pet parents who are XFINITY Home customers can get text or e-mail alerts when doors at home open and close.

This way, you can confi rm that the pet sitter is on time and stays for the ex-pected length of time. You can also re-motely disarm your door for the dog walker and set the system to record and send you a video clip of the person opening the door. Keep Your Pets Safe Hundreds of thousands of pets go missing every year, and according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, only 15 to 20 percent of lost dogs and only 2 percent of lost cats are returned to their owners. You can pair your pet with a GPS tracking device, such as Tagg—The Pet Tracker, which has wireless capability for pet owners to know where their animals are at all times. Keep Your Pets Comfortable Experiencing an unexpected cold front? Leaving work later than ex-pected? Home automation services like XFINITY Home let you adjust the ther-

mostat and turn lights on or off remote-ly or by automated schedules. You don’t have to worry about fi nd-ing someone to change your cat’s litter box or to feed your dog when you’re away. Automatic self-cleaning litter boxes such as Litter-Robot and Litter-Maid minimize cleanup time and fre-quency, while remote pet feeders such as PetSafe’s 5-Meal Automatic Pet Feeder can dispense up to fi ve meals at times you set. Keep Your Pets Entertained From automatic tennis ball cannons to interactive laser toys, motion con-trol toys can provide hours of fun for your pets while you’re away. A grow-ing number of mobile apps for cats, in-cluding Friskies’ Happy Wings and Jit-terBug, can also provide interactive fun for felines. For more information on XFINITY Home, you can visit:

Simple Actions Can Make the Difference in Home Fires

(NAPSI)—There seem to be count-less things we don’t think twice about when it comes to protecting our fami-lies. You’d never hit the road on a long road trip without buckling your baby in a car seat. And most people have a nightly habit of making sure the house is locked before going to bed. Both are simple things that become a habit in or-der to keep your family safe. So why are Americans still not tak-ing simple actions to protect their fami-lies from home fi res? According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), almost 2,500 people die every year in home fi res. Yet most of these deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms. Did you also know that cooking is the main cause of home fi res and home fi re injuries? But it doesn’t have to be that way, because Fire is Everyone’s Fight™. There are simple steps you can take right now to reduce your risk of a home fi re that could not just injure you or a loved one, but could take a life. Put smoke alarms in your home to keep your family safe. Make sure your smoke alarms work. Your family is not safe if they can’t hear the smoke alarms. Test your smoke alarms. Push the test button. You will hear a loud noise. If you don’t hear the noise, you need a new battery or a new alarm. Fix this immediately. To protect against cooking-related fi res and injuries, keep an eye on what you fry. Most cooking fi res start when

someone is frying food. Hot oil and grease can burn people and start fi res. Be prepared when cooking and make the cooking area safe. Make sure chil-dren and pets stay at least 3 feet away from a hot stove. Clean and clear the area around the stove before you turn on the heat. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so no one can bump

them or pull them over. Just as the simple click of a seat belt can become a habit that decreases your chance of being injured in a car crash, getting in the habit of doing these fi re safety practices may help save your life or the life of your family one day. Remember, keeping you safe isn’t just the fi re department’s job. Fire is Every-one’s Fight™.

Frightfully Delightful Treats (NAPSI)—Here’s food for thought: Popcorn, discovered in the Americas thou-sands of years ago, has beguiled people for centuries with its mythical, magical charm. Today, it’s also lauded for its nu-tritional and economic value, while the al-luring aroma and taste help make popcorn such a popular treat that Americans con-sume some 16 million quarts of it a year—roughly a quart per person per week. Consider these corny facts:• October is National Popcorn Poppin’ Month.• Popcorn is naturally low in fat and calo-ries. Air-popped popcorn has roughly 30 calories per cup; oil-popped has only 55 per cup.• Popcorn is a whole grain. It has three components: the germ, endosperm and pericarp, or hull.• Of the four main types of corn—sweet, dent, fl int and popcorn—only popcorn pops.• Popcorn needs between 13.5 and 14 per-cent moisture to pop.

• Popcorn forms one of two basic shapes when popped: snowfl ake and mushroom.• Popcorn Zombies are a treat:

Green Halloween ZombiesYield: about 7 pieces

(4½ x 3½ inches each)

2½ quarts popped popcorn6 tablespoons butter or margarine3 cups minimarshmallows4 tablespoons lime gelatin powderRed gum balls, candy corn, fl at green candy strips (or fruit leather), green sugar

sprinkles Place popcorn in a large bowl; set aside. Melt butter over medium heat in a me-dium saucepan. Stir marshmallows into butter until melted. Stir in gelatin powder until evenly colored. Pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated. With but-tered hands, shape popcorn into 7 oval shapes. Flatten one oval shape slightly and squeeze one end to form a “skull” shape. Place onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining shapes. To deco-rate: Press two gum balls into each skull to form “eyes.” Press candy corn into skull to form “teeth.” Use scissors to trim candy strips and press into top for “hair.” Sprin-kle with sugar sprinkles. Allow “zombies” to set for about 20 minutes before wrap-ping individually in plastic wrap (or serve immediately).
