& LEAD DRIVERS • It was our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, who made the following sage observation: "No matter how much

cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens."

• If you are a stay-at-home mom, you probably won't be surprised by a recent study that found lower levels of stress in mothers who work outside the home than in those who stay with their kids all day.

• George Reeves is best known for playing the title role in the 1950s TV show "Adventures of Superman." The role was a risky one, though -- not in front of the camera, but during his numerous public appearances. It seems that fans wanted to test the strength of the Man of Steel, so they often kicked and punched him. At a 1953 appearance in Detroit, one boy pulled out his father's loaded .45 Army Colt and aimed it at Reeves' chest. By telling the boy that the bullets would bounce off his own chest and ricochet into the crowd, harming others, Reeves managed to get the boy to put the gun down.

• Though unenforced (and likely unenforceable), there is a law on the books in Tennessee that bars atheists, preachers and duelists from holding elected office.

• Are you lissotrichous? If you don't have curls in your hair, you are. Of course, you may not be able to tell if you are atrichous (bald), a condition that may be caused by trichotillomania, the compulsion to pull out your own hair.

After watching him win the Aaron's 499 at Talladega on May 6, Roger Penske said of Brad Keselowski, "Obvi-ously, one of the goals in my life is to sit up on that stage (as Sprint Cup champion) in ... Las Vegas, and I think he's

the guy who can make it happen."This year, hopefully."Penske, one of American motorsports' preeminent figures, has seen drivers

in his employ win 15 Indianapolis 500s and championships in a variety of forms of racing. He's never won a Sprint Cup championship, though. Until May 6, he had never won at Talladega Superspeedway.

Keselowski, winning for the second time this year and sixth in his ca-reer, could do for Penske what Rusty Wallace, Bobby Al-lison, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and others could not. Keselowski finished fifth in the Chase last year.

"At Talladega, you don't take a thing for granted," Keselows-ki, 28, said. "Not a thing, because you

don't know what's going to happen. I didn't take for granted that we had this race won, no."

In the third turn of the final lap, Keselowski, who had surged to the lead on the next-to-last lap, managed to get his Dodge separated from Kyle Busch's Toyota. His winning margin, 0.304 of a second, was comfortable by Talladega standards.

Keselowski was careful not to read too much into the victory.

"You know, Daytona and Talladega are only four races on our circuit," he said. "How many races are we going to do? Thirty-eight, with the (Budweiser Shootout) and the (Sprint All-Star Race). ... There are a lot of races. You've got to be good at all of them to be champion."

Keselowski won the Nationwide Series title in 2010."You just don't know," he added. "You've just got to keep pushing, moving

forward. The second you think you have become a champion, everybody else evolves in this sport and gets ahead of you.

"It's a never-ending journey."• • •

• Want to pump up a dying charcoal fire? Never use lighter fluid. Even if the coals look really gray, they could be hot on the inside. The stream of fluid CAN catch fire. It’s too dangerous. Put new briquettes in with the old, and start those using a long stick match.

• “When grilling with charcoal, keep a clean spray bottle filled with plain water handy, and use it to keep flare-ups from blackening your food. When the coals have died and you’re ready to clean up the ashes, mist the ashes first. It will keep them from making a dust cloud.” -- U.L. in Georgia

• From charcoal gril l ing expert Kingsford, here’s a great tip to use when grilling chicken: “When applying a dry rub to chicken pieces, it’s often hard to keep the rub affixed, and it’s even more difficult to keep the chicken’s original, golden color. Try ‘painting’ chicken pieces with yellow mustard prior to applying the rub. Not only will the rub stay in place, your final product will be visually appealing -- without any trace of mustard flavor.”



DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 55-year-old man who finally bit the bullet and had a colonoscopy. My doctor had badgered me to have one for the past five years. I don’t have cancer. I don’t have polyps. I do have diverticulosis. I didn’t know I had it before the scope exam. I’ve never had even a twinge of pain. What is this, and what do I need to do about it? -- H.L.

ANSWER: A diverticulum is a small, balloonlike protrusion of the colon lining through the muscle wall of the colon and onto its outer surface. By “small,” I mean that diverticula range from 0.2 inches to 0.4 inches (0.5 cm to 1 cm) in largest diameter, around the size of a pea. Their cause appears to be a lack of fiber in the diet.

In places where the diet has lots of fiber, diverticulosis is rare. In North America, it’s rampant. Fiber keeps undigested food from drying out. Dried food residue requires powerful contractions of the colon muscle to push it along. Those contractions also push the colon lining through the colon wall, creating a diverticulum.

Diverticulosis is frequently a silent affair, not causing any troubles. Diverticulitis, on the other hand, is an inflammation and infection of diverticula. That is quite painful. It produces abdominal pain on the left, lower side of the abdomen, often with nausea and vomiting. The diverticula also can burst and release bacteria into the abdominal cavity, a serious situation. Severe diverticulitis must be treated in the hospital with IV fluids and IV antibiotics.

To prevent diverticulosis from becoming diverticulitis, increase your fiber intake. Fiber is the indigestible coverings of many fruits, vegetables and grains. White flour is refined wheat -- wheat without its outer coat, the bran. Bran and other sources of fiber draw water into undigested food and make it easily pushed along the entire length of the colon.

We’re supposed to get 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. Beans, whole-grain cereals, whole-grain breads, dates, prunes, unskinned apples and pears are examples of fiber-rich foods. If you cannot get enough fiber from foods, then commercial products such as Fiberall, Metamucil, Citrucel and FiberCon can provide it for you.

The booklet on diverticulosis provides more details on this com-mon condition and its complication -- diverticulitis. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 502W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My doctor’s nurse studied my ears with

great interest the last time I was there. I asked what she was looking at. She said I had a crease in my earlobes, and it’s a sign of heart disease. I looked in a mirror. I do have a crease. Does it mean I have heart disease? -- J.K.

ANSWER: Right in the area where an earring is worn, some people have a transverse crease. At one time a fuss was made about it being a sign of heart disease. If it is, it’s not a reliable sign. I have those creases too.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
