Living the DreamCivil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., took Washington, D.C., by storm

when he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on August 28, 1963. He had organized a march on Washington intending to show America that ending racial problems was of the utmost importance. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King spoke in front of more than 250,000 people who were eager to hear his dreams of peace and change. This speech later became known as one of the most pivotal moments of the American Civil Rights Movement. King and other civic leaders speaking during the March on Washington wanted to promote change through peaceful means, as so many events surrounding the Civil Rights Movement were plagued with unnecessary acts of violence. This speech led to his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize the following year.

The Heat is OnAugust is a month in which sweltering heat sweeps across our nation. From the West

to East Coast, North to South, many of our bodies are drenched in sweat on a very regular basis. But let’s not dwell on the obvious. Here are some random “cool” facts for the month of August. See how many of them you know.• Of the major U.S. cities in the lower 48 states, San Francisco, CA has the lowest average

temperature for August. It would be easy to stay cool there, with an average high of 68ºF and a low of 55ºF.

• Antarctica reached a new low on Aug. 10, 2010, as the air’s temperature reached its coldest temperature on record: -135.8º F. This temperature was approximated by a satellite reading.

• Of the major U.S. cities, 14 of them stay below 80º F, on average, during the summer: San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Portland (Oregon), Boston, Rochester, Providence, C l e v e l an d , M inneap o l i s , Pittsburgh, and Detroit.

• The average high tempera-tures in Alaska during August range from 40º F to 68º F.

Getting to Know Your ProduceThe heat of summer brings a lovely selection of fruits

and vegetables. August is the perfect time of year to sample some of the best produce of the season. Need a little food for thought? Here is a bit of food and veggie trivia to discuss around the dinner table. • There is a flower that is also a green vegetable. Any guesses

as to what it might be? Broccoli.

• China is the home of the very first orange. It is suggested that oranges originated there around 2500 B.C.

• Onions come with a strong, distinct odor. Why do they smell that way? It’s because of sulfur. The element is absorbed during the growing process.

• An avocado has more protein than any other fruit. This heart-healthy fruit also is known to help improve eyesight as well as reduce signs of aging.

• Some people categorize mushrooms as vegetables, but in fact, they are just nutritious fungi.

• Where is the “Carrot Capital of the World?” It is Holtville, California, of course. This town holds a festival honoring the brightly colored vegetable each year.

Are you male or female? The answer to this seemingly simple question can have a major impact on your health. While both sexes are similar in many ways, researchers have found that sex and social factors can make a difference when it comes to your risk for disease, how well you respond to medications, and how often you seek medical care. That’s why scientists are taking a closer look at the links between sex, gender, and health. Here's a list of quick facts and differences between men and women:

• Women and men have different symptoms of heart attack.

• Women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.

• Men are less likely than women to admit to negative moods and seek treatment for mental health issues.

• Men are more likely than women to have gout, a type of arthritis. Female risk for gout increases after menopause.

• Osteoporosis is more common in women than men, yet

it still poses a risk to men as they age.

• Some medicines affect women and men differently, such as aspirin and some sleep medications.

• Females are more likely to injure their knees playing sports.

• Males are more likely than females to develop autism spectrum disorders and certain other neurodevelop-mental conditions.

• Two-thirds of people age 40 and up who are visually impaired or blind are women.

• Pain disorders like chronic TMJ are more common in women.

• Women are often primary caretakers of children, house-hold needs, and aging family members, but they are more likely to delay their own health needs.

A Dynamic DiscoveryWhat can you buy with $7.6 million? Try the largest

Tyrannosaurus rex fossil available to date. This 40-foot long fossil better known as “Sue,” named after its discoverer paleontologist Sue Hendrickson, was unearthed on Aug. 12, 1990, on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It was unquestionably well maintained for its age, with a skull measuring roughly 5 feet in length. A dispute erupted over the land in which Sue was discovered, as several parties claimed rights to the enormous dinosaur’s bones. Many believed this find belonged in a museum, for all the world to see. Therefore, multiple donors and charitable organizations joined together in 1997 to purchase Sue at a Sotheby’s auction on behalf of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. The fossil’s safekeeping was ensured, and Sue, teeth and all, can currently be found resting comfortably in her home at the Field Museum.

“Three days of peace and music” turned into a historic

movement like no other. The Woodstock festival, more

than 400,000 in attendance, began on Aug. 15, 1969, and

ended with the sounds of Jimi Hendrix on August 18.

This legendary Bethel, New York, music and arts festival

occurred at a pivotal time in history, as the Vietnam

War was in full force, and the Civil Rights and Women’s

Movements were at the forefront of societal issues.

The upstate New York town had no idea what it was

in for when the festival took shape. The weekend was

welcomed by some, and shunned by others. Barefoot

beauties danced in the grass. Long-haired, bell-bottom

wearing hippies were everywhere. A host of volunteer

nurses and medics tended to the wounded, with cuts to

the feet being among the chief injuries at the concert. Tales

of Woodstock births have circulated, but proof is minimal.

Whether viewed as inspiring or angering, the Woodstock

festival remains a climactic, influential and memorable

point in American history.
