CAREERS CUT SHORTby Kathy Wolfe

The music industry has suffered many sad losses over the years. This week, Tidbits brings a sampling of those talented legends whose premature deaths resulted in promising careers cut short.

• Baby boomers will recall Ricky Nelson asone of the biggest teen idols of the 1950s and 1960s. Starting out on his family’s television show “Ozzie & Harriet,” Nelson began hisrecording career in 1961 with the million-selling “Travelin’ Man,” followed by another chart topper “Hello, Mary Lou.” He was still recording in the 1980s with his Stone Canyon Bandwhenhecomposedthehit“GardenParty.”AsNelson,hisfiancéeandbandmemberswerejettingtoaNewYear’sEve1985performance,afirecausedbyamalfunctioningheaterbrokeout in their DC-3, and the plane crashed, killing the 45-year-old singer and several others.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

CAREERS CUT SHORT (continued):• Considered one of the greatest singers of

all time, the velvet-voiced crooner Karen Carpenter,alongwithbrotherRichard,rackedup 17 Top 20 hits and sales of more than 100 million records in the 1970s, including “ClosetoYou”and“We’veOnlyJustBegun.”Yet this beautiful girl with the wholesomeimage struggled with anorexia for years, and desperate to look slim on stage, dropped as low as 79 pounds. The eating disorder took its toll on her heart and eventually claimed her life in 1983 when she was just 32.

• Even young people have heard themusic ofBig Band trombonist GlennMiller, althoughhis music career was only three and a half years long. Such hits as “In the Mood” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” have endured for decades, and even the re-issues of his hits 40 years after his death have achieved gold status. Miller and his swing band scored 31 Top Ten hits in 1940 and another 11 in 1941, making him the top recording artist for both years. In 1942, the 38-year-old Miller left behind his $20,000-per-week income and joined the Army, organizing a 45-member military band that performed for troops and war-bond rallies.In1944,onaflighttoParis,hisplanedisappeared over the English Channel. Itwasn’t determined whether the craft had been shot down or had crashed due to bad weather. The plane was never recovered.

• Patsy Cline was already a Grand Ole Oprystar at 26 and the nation’s number one female artist at age 29. Her recording of “I Fall to Pieces”wastheSongoftheYearfor1962.Shesurvived a nearly fatal head-on collision in 1961 but could only cheat death for one more year. In 1962, after a short five-and-a-half-year career, Cline was killed in a plane crash at age 30 in a swampy woodland in Tennessee. She’s number 46 on Rolling Stone’s list of “100 GreatestSingersofAllTimes.”

Internet Fraud Soars, Are You Prepared?

If 2012 has a theme, it might well be the Year of Increased Internet Fraud. The problems don't occur as much with what we block out with our virus protection as they do with the parts we do let in: email we open and websites we visit. One source pegs the increase in "phishing" (getting your information) at 1,200 percent in just the past six months. It's only going to get worse.During the recent holidays, right in the middle of online shopping season, customers received fake messages supposedly from a major online store. The email looked genuine: the content looked right, the subject line was one that many people would open -- but the sender's address

was forged, and it asked for personal information.That's the key right there: When an email or a site wants your data, beware. The collection form might be a duplicate of the info-gathering method of the legitimate site

and look very authentic.What do they want? They want your personal information any way they can get it. It might be a direct steal when you help by typing in your name and information. It might be that you're tricked into downloading a keystroke logger program that will capture everything you type in.Here are some initial steps you can take to protect yourself:1. Err on the side of caution. Be skeptical. Don't click any links, even out of curiosity. (Even clicking might start a download of spyware.) Don't provide any personal information that's asked for. If in doubt, close the email, close your email client completely, delete your browsing history and close all your browser windows. Then

navigate to that company's website in your normal way by typing in the URL. Be sure your browser's phishing filter is turned on.2. Better yet, pick up the phone. Call the company and tell them about the email you've received. (They'll want to know.) Ask if the mail was legitimate and if something is wrong with your account. To learn more in general about online fraud, go online to Fraud Watch International [www.fraudwatchinternational.com]. Explore the tabs for Fraud Education and Consumer, but especially the Phishing Alerts. Click one event in the very long list, especially if you recognize the company, and explore how the fraud was accomplished. There are graphics and text to describe each step.David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

Pets to the Rescue

There’s a good crop of pet books this season, but two really stand out from the pack of training and pet-care tomes I nor-mally receive. These are perfect for curl-ing up with beside the fire in the new year.You might, or might not, remember the story of the library cat named Dewey, who ruled the Spencer, Iowa, public library for nearly two decades as its resident cat. Li-brary director Vicki Myron along with author Bret Witter published a series of books about Dewey. Now, they’re back with another great addition to the plucky cat’s story: “Dewey’s Nine Lives: The Legacy of the Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions” (New American Library). Myron and Witter present nine true stories of cats and their people, il-lustrating the way pets affect and change our lives for the better.If you’re more interested in a good piece of fiction, take a break with “Walking

Back to Happiness” (Berkeley Books) by Lucy Dillon. It’s a well-composed, smart tale of Juliet, who is grieving the recent loss of her husband and rarely leaves the house except to walk her husband’s ter-rier, Minton. Her mother and sister both try to lift her spirits in between their own busy lives, but it isn’t until Juliet begins walking her mother’s aging Lab, Coco, that things begin to change. It’s a sensi-tive depiction of grief and healing, with a bit of romance thrown in.

Using a power strip for your appliances and

electronic devices can result in a real energy

savings. Many devices continue to use

electricity even when they’re turned off. The

use of one six-outlet power strip that you turn

off at the end of the day uses 87 percent less

energy than leaving the devices plugged into

six individual outlets.

CATASTROPHE

E A C R T A P S T O H

In 1991, country star Reba McIntyre wrapped up a private concert in San Diego and had returned to her hotel. Eight members of her band and crew went on ahead to their next concert site in Indiana. Just 10 miles east of the airport, their plane crashed into the side of a mountain, the result of poor visibility, heavy rain and winds.

A young child says to his mother, “Mom, when I grow up, I’d like to be a musician.” She replies, “Well honey, you know you can’t do both.”

Rhythm and blues singer Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash at age 22 in 2001. The plane, which was overloaded with equipment, was being flown by an unlicensed pilot who had lied about the number of flight hours he had accrued. In addition, traces of cocaine and alcohol were found in his system.
