TIDBITS® TAKES A LOOK AT

STRANGE LAWSUITSby T.A. Tafoya

There is no shortage of lawsuits. Lawyers keep busy defending weird and wacky cases. Tidbits looks at a few frivolous lawsuits for a laugh, but don’t try them yourself! Frivolous lawsuits rarely make it through the courts and usually end up costing the plaintiff.

• Richard Overton took the advertising message of Anheuser-Busch a bit too literally. In 1991, he sued the company for $10,000 claiming to have suffered emotional distress, mental injury and financial loss because drinking Anheuser-Busch beer did not bring to life the beautiful women in tropical settings as was advertised. The supposed false advertising led him to buy and drink more Bud Light. The case was dismissed.

• An episode of “Fear Factor” prompted Austin Aitken to sue NBC for $2.5 million in 2005. Aitken claimed to have suffered injury and great pain after watching contestants on the television eat rats. This caused him to become light-headed and dizzy, which resulted in him vomiting and running into a doorway. The judge threw out the lawsuit.

• In 2006, Allen Heckard sued Michael Jordan and Nike founder Phil Knight for $832 million. In the suit he claimed to suffer defamation, permanent injury and emotional pain and suffering because he was often mistaken for Michael Jordan. He said that continual public harassment because of the alleged resemblance “has troubled his nerves.” Heckard dropped the lawsuit later that year.

LAWSUITS (continued):• After eating Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries over a period of four years, Janine Sugawara realized that the “Crunch Berries” in the cereal were not real fruit. She filed a class-action suit against Quaker’s parent company PepsiCo in 2009 for fraud and breech of warranty, seeking full restitution of all money gained through misleading labeling and a court order forcing Quaker to disclose to the public the true composition of Crunch Berries. The case was dismissed.

• In 1910, Olaf Olverson was desperate for cash, so he sold his body to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, for medical research after his death. A year later, he inherited a fortune. He tried to “buy himself back” from the institute, but they wouldn’t cooperate. When Olverson refused to donate his body, the institute sued him for breach of contract. Olverson lost the case. The judge ruled that he not only owed his body to the Institute, he owed them money for the two teeth he had removed without the Institute’s permission, saying Olverson had illegally tampered with their property.

• Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Wilder, Kentucky, was sued by J.R. Costigan in 1993. He claimed a ghost “punched and kicked him” while he was using the bar’s restroom one night. He sued the bar for $1,000 in damages and demanded that a warning sign of the ghost’s presence be put up in the restroom. The club’s lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing the difficulty of getting the ghost into court to testify for the defense. The case was dismissed.

• In 1976, at the University of California Los Angeles

Medical Center, doctors removed John Moore’s spleen in a successful effort to cure his cancer. Doctors later found that the spleen possessed unique cancer-fighting cells. Experiments with the cells led to a new discovery worth an estimated $3 billion. Moore tried to sue the University of California, claiming his spleen was pirated. The spleen had belonged to him so he should share in the commercial value. He sued for part of the profits, but in 1990, 14 years after the operation, Moore lost the case.

• Computer designers at Apple codenamed a new computer model Sagan in 1993. Traditionally, this is an honor. “You pick a name of someone you respect,” an employee explained, “and the code is only used while the computer is being developed. It never makes it out of the company.” This didn’t matter to Carl Sagan; his lawyers complained that the code was “an illegal usurpation of his name for commercial purposes” and demanded that it be changed. The designers changed it to BHA, which stood for “Butt-Head Astronomer.” Sagan sued again, contending “Butt-Head” is “defamatory on its face.” Apple won.

• Chicago lawyer Frank Zaffere sued his ex-fiancé Maria Dillon when she broke off their engagement in 1992. Zaffere filed a suit for $40,310.48 to cover his “lost courting expenses.” He did send a letter along with court papers to his ex stating: “I am still willing to marry you on the conditions herein below set forth: 1) We proceed with our marriage within 45 days of the date of this letter; 2) You confirm [that you] . . . will forever be faithful to me; 3) You promise . . . that you will never lie to me again about anything.” He closed with: “Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the matters discussed herein. Sincerely, Frank.” The case was dismissed and so was the wedding.

• Andrea Pizzo, a former student of the University of Maine, sued her alma mater for failing to protect her from a cow with a “dangerous disposition.” While taking a class in livestock management, a 400-plus-pound Bovine head-butted her into the wall of its pen. Pizzo suffered knee and wrist injuries, so she sued the college for an unspecified amount. In her suit she claims the school “should have known that the heifer had a personality problem.” Verdict unknown.

• Cynthia Economou was sued by Karl Lambert in Florida court; he claimed that Economou stole his foot. Lambert’s foot was severed in a car accident, and Economu, the paramedic on site, took his mangled limb to help in the training of her body recovery dog. In her defense, Economu said, “It was an unrecognizable mass of flesh ... It wasn’t a clean cut. You couldn’t even recognize it as a foot ... If I had thought it was somehow re-attachable and usable, I would have gone to my commander.” She was charged with second-degree petty theft and received six months of probation.

Overcoming the Odds:Falling from the Sky

What would you do if you were in an airplane miles above the earth and the unthinkable happened — the plane breaks apart, and you suddenly find yourself in a free fall? If you were above 10,000 feet, you would quickly lose consciousness due to thin air. When you reached 10,000 feet, you may wake up. A free fall from 35,000 feet would take about three minutes with a landing speed of around 125 miles per hour! (Of course, the time and rate of speed depend on your weight and the amount of air drag created by the position of your body.) The following stories are about two amazing survivors of free-falling experiences.

• In April 1944, Pilot Joe Herman of the Royal Australian Air Force and his crew were on a mission to bomb munitions factories at Bochum. After dropping its bombs, the plane was struck by enemy fire. Herman ordered his crew to bail out, but before he could secure his parachute, the plane exploded, and he was thrown into the night air.

• As he was falling, he bumped into what he thought was debris. In a panic, Herman grabbed on, but then realized it was the leg of mid-upper gunner, John Vivashand, who at that moment was opening his parachute. The parachute inflated slowly, which helped Herman maintain his firm grasp. The two men came down safely with Herman hitting the ground first. His only injury was two broken ribs.

• On Christmas Eve, 1971, LANSA Flight 508 from Lima, Peru, to Pucallpa, Peru, was struck by lightning at 21,000 feet. A fire started, and systems began failing, causing the pilots to loose control of the aircraft. The plane soon went into a dive.

• The turbulent forces on the wings caused them to tear away from the aircraft as it came crashing down into a mountainous region of the Amazon. Amongst the debris, 17-year-old Juliane Margaret Koepcke regained consciousness after an unknown amount of time, still strapped in her seat.

• All the other 91 people aboard — six crew members and 85 passengers, including Koepcke’s mother, were dead.

Koepcke miraculously sustained only a broken collarbone. She spent the next 10 days alone and lost in the jungle with only a bag of candy for food.

• Her father once told her to survive in the jungle, follow water. Koepcke waded from tiny streams to

larger ones until on the tenth day, she made it to the bank of the Shebonya River

where she saw a canoe tethered to the shoreline.

• After climbing up an embankment, she found a hut. As it turned out, it belonged to a group of lumberjacks. They found her the next day.

The incident was seen as a miracle of divine intervention

in Peru, and free-fall statistics seem to support this thought.

Her story has been the subject of two films, the most recent being

a Werner Herzog documentary called “Wings of Hope.”

LAWSWhat are laws, and how do they govern our lives? Here is a brief look at the intended meaning and purpose of laws.

• Everyone and everything lives by some kind of law. Even if you lived on a deserted island by yourself, your life and activities would still be ruled by the law of gravity and other natural, universal laws. Even ants live by their own set of laws.

• The Babylonian king Hammurabi is credited as the first in history to record a set of written laws in about 1786 B.C. They are known as the Code of Hammurabi.

• All civilized societies depend on laws to define the structure in which people relate to one another and to keep order. Laws affect all aspects of society, including everything from economics to social interactions.

• Yet laws alone do not ensure order and peaceful relations. Every law must be enforced to carry any weight. In many countries and communities today, laws are enforced by police and a system of courts.

• There are many different classifications of laws. Contract law governs both simple and complex business transactions. Property law outlines the rights and obligations concerning the ownership of real estate (land and buildings) as well as movable objects like cars, televisions, etc.

• Financial assets are overseen by trust laws, while tort law allows people to seek compensation if their rights are infringed upon or their property is damaged. Criminal law, also known as penal law, protects us by giving the government the ability and authority to prosecute someone that harms another person’s rights or property.

• Labor laws and safety standards ensure that our workplaces are safe. Restaurants and grocery stores we frequent are governed by health codes that keep us safe from spoiled, dirty or diseased food products that could make us sick.

• Written works, movies, music and other forms of expression are protected from being copied by copyright laws. And when using the Internet, we are subject to emerging laws governing this new medium.

• America came into existence due to a dispute over laws. Whether or not the laws of the British Empire should apply to the colonies in North America was the question, and it found colonists and the crown staunchly adhering to opposing answers. The result was war and the American Revolution.

• Today in the United States, the Constitution outlines our most basic rights and is the basis for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives.

• Society is not always in agreement with the laws that regulate our conduct or how the institutions that implement the laws behave. Oftentimes, we are in rebellion against some of their provisions.

• The Greek philosopher Aristotle is credited with saying, “Even when laws have been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.”

• As the population grows and technology advances, the need for ever-changing laws exists. New and improved rules are written every day. One of the best designs of the American legal system is the power of the individual to collectively make or change laws through the right to vote.

Debit-Card ChangesA short five years ago, banks were pushing us to use our debit cards. Rewards programs with points, flyer miles, cash back -- it all added up in our favor.

Now, however, if you have a debit card that’s part of a rewards program, you might have a limited amount of time to cash in those rewards. If your debit card is with a big bank, your rewards program is probably going to be cancelled -- if it hasn’t been already.

The reason for these changes, say the banks, is the Durbin Amendment. The legislation puts a cap on the per-transaction cost that banks charge merchants for each swipe of a debit card, down from 44 cents to 21 cents per swipe, plus a percentage of the transaction total. No more massive millions moving into card issuers hands in the form of swipe fees means no more rewards-program benefits for you.

Banks are looking for new ways to recoup the lost money. If you get an information leaflet in your bank statement, read it. You could learn that your free checking account will no longer be free, or that you’ll

need to maintain certain balances for it to be free, or that you’ll be limited to a certain number of debit-card transactions per month, or that your ATM transactions are no longer free, or that you’ll no longer receive a paper statement without paying for it.

However, that same problem for card issuers might get you a discount from merchants, especially for big-ticket items. If you shop locally at smaller businesses, you have a better chance of asking for and getting a discount, since the merchant won’t be paying high swipe fees and percentages of the purchase cost. Always ask.

Banks and credit unions with assets less than $10 billion are exempt, and if you switch to a smaller bank, you might get a better deal on the fees that the big banks will surely impose.

Before you let yourself be pushed toward putting purchases on your credit card because of a potential rewards program, rethink your plan. While new laws are in place for credit-card fees, you still have to pay the money back.

The new debit card law takes effect in October, just in time for holiday shopping.

The Tragic Case of Hideki IrabiYou can probably point to one pitch -- a 98-mph fastball -- that came to ruin one man’s life.

It was 1996, and a kid named Hideki Irabu of the Chiba Lotte Marines tossed that pitch past a stunned Kazuhiro Kiyohara of the Seibu Lions. At the time it was the fastest pitch in Japanese baseball history.

With ERAs in the 2.50 region and multiple years with 200-plus strikeouts, and with players like Hideo Nomo, Shigetoshi Hasegawa and Takashi Kashiwada -- who signed across town for the New York Mets -- George Steinbrenner and the New York Yankees wanted to make a move. Hideki Irabu -- ÒThe Nolan Ryan of JapanÓ -- was their man.

This wasnn’t the first time the Yankees played catch-up in race ball. The Brooklyn Dodgers broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 with Jackie Robinson, the Yankees waited until 1955 before they activated Elston Howard. Howard was an

incredible player, someone who survived the pressure of being the catcher who succeeded Yogi Berra. His number is retired with the Yankees, and he is forever enshrined in the baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.

Hideki Irabu is no longer with us.

His story begins and ends as a sad one. His father was an unseen, never-spoken-of American serviceman who met his mother one night in Okinawa. In a culture that abhors any sort of disgrace, IrabuÕs mother later married a Japanese man who instilled enough discipline in the boy to play and succeed wildly in baseball.

With that fastball, American scouts took notice. The San Diego Padres bit first, purchasing his contract from Chiba Lotte. It was controversial at the time because up to that point, no American baseball team had directly intervened with Japanese baseball negotiations in such a manner. And in a culture that steadfastly adheres to an intricate code of manners, Irabu bucked the trend. He would only play for the Yankees.

In March 1997, for the rights to just talk to the 27-year-old Irabu, the Yanks gave the Padres $3 million in cash, five mid-tier major leaguers and five minor-league prospects. By May, Irabu was in pinstripes, signed to a four-year contract worth $12.8 million and a signing bonus of $8.5 million.

Irabu went on to win 34 games in his six-year Major League Baseball career.

He endured insults from Steinbrenner (Òfat toadÓ) and Yankee fans alike who couldnÕt support a guy who only played in one postseason game but wore two championship rings.

Alcohol played a bigger part in his life after the big leagues turned their back on him, and after a few arrests for intoxication and whatever presumed family problems he had, his wife left him.

It was as if his life had come full circle. His solution was to hang himself last July.It has been said that there is no such thing as talent, there is only pressure. Pressure, over many years, makes a diamond. For Hideki, on and off the diamond, he just couldnÕt make the time.

Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter and publisher of The Kansas City Luminary.

Fast Roof PatchingQ: While organizing the attic, I noticed there was an area of the floor that looked like it had gotten wet recently. I looked at the roof above, but did not notice any holes. But there is a little water streak down the plywood. Is this a serious problem? -- Carol H., New Bedford, Mass.

A: If you address it quickly, it will not become a serious problem. Minor leaks in a roof can be patched fairly quickly. They’re often caused by damage to the shingles on top of the roof, which occurs over time due to debris strikes, ice buildup or just general stress from extremes of hot and cold.

During the next rainstorm, go into the attic and note where the water is seeping. Follow the trail of water upward until you can see an entry point. That is the likely area of damage. Mark the spot clearly and brightly for now (put a piece of bright tape or tack a bright piece of paper over the spot).

To repair, you’ll need to be able to access the rooftop safely, with safety harness, rope and ladder, and have a helper. If you’re not able to do this, contact a roofing professional to

do the repair.If you can do it yourself, first re-mark the leaky area. From the attic, take a large (ten-penny) nail and drive it straight upward through the bottom layer so that it juts out past the shingles above. (Don’t sink it in all the way, as you’ll need to remove it later.)Gather your repair materials: spare shingles, roofing cement, roofing nails, hammer and pry bar. Make your way safely to the rooftop, with your helper minding the ladder and safety rope. Locate the upward-jutting nail.Remove the nail and patch the hole with a dab of roofing cement.Inspect the shingle for damage. If it is very minor, like a ripped edge or small crack, it can be patched with roofing cement and a piece of spare shingle cut to fit. Or, you can completely remove the shingle, sliding it out carefully from the ones above and to the side, and slide in a replacement. Tack down on the top and sides with dabs of roofing cement. Tap in roofing nails along the top of the replacement shingle, holding the shingle above it up, then press the shingle above it back down into place. Secure the bottom of the shingle with a couple small dabs of cement underneath the flap.

HoME TIP: August is prime time for roofing repairs, as the hot and relatively dry days allow for plenty of work to be done and for roofing materials to set correctly.

Memories Take ShapeWith Homemade Clay

Think of all the experiences your kids have already stored up in their memory pool since summer vacation began. Talk about their recollections together, then put them into shape with this fabulous play clay made with baking soda, cornstarch and water. It’s a snap to concoct and especially amazing to watch the magical transformations when the liquid mixture turns into a mashed potato-like consistency right before your eyes. Chemistry in the kitchen was never so much fun.

The pliable, smooth white play clay is a perfect medium for letting out the creativity of imaginative minds. Shape sculptures of the animals and birds your kids gawked at while at the zoo, a dolphin they met at an aquarium or the clown who taught them to juggle at a country fair.

Once they create sculptures or beads from the dough, let them harden overnight, and your kids will have another fun afternoon putting their strokes of color on their objects.

Here’s the simple stuff you’ll need to make the dough:--2 cups baking soda--1 cup cornstarch--1 1/4 cups water--Saucepan--Candy coloring (optional), available where cake decorations are sold; food coloring also works--Acrylic paints and brushes (optional)

Here’s the fun:1. Place the baking soda, cornstarch and water in the saucepan. An adult should stir the mixture over low heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and continue stirring.

2. When the mixture takes on a mashed-potato consistency, it’s ready for play. If you’d like, separate it into small batches and color each batch with a few drops of candy coloring. If you leave the clay natural, you can let it dry for about 12 hours and paint it with acrylics.

Tips:--For sculptures, put a small lump of clay in the barrel of a garlic press and squeeze to make long hair to plop on a clown’s head.

--For beads, roll small ball shapes in your hands and poke a hole through each one with a skewer. When hard, string on a bit of elastic through the holes.

Digital Mammograms Aren’t More Accurate

dEAR dR. doNoHuE: Please tell me if a digital mammogram is a great deal better than a regular mammogram. If I need to pay part of the cost, I don’t mind, if it’s worth it. I don’t want to pay for something that is simply “newer.” -- S.P.

ANswER: With a conventional mammogram, the image of the breast is captured on film, like a photographic image. With a digital mammogram, the image is captured electronically on bits of computer code, like a digital camera does. The techniques for taking a digital mammogram are the same as those for a conventional one. Digital mammograms are easier to store, and digital images are available immediately but are more costly.

A large study of almost 50,000 women concluded that the accuracy between digital and conventional mammograms is not significantly different. However, in women younger than 50 and in women with dense breasts, digital mammograms provide better pictures. Unless your doctor has directed you to get digital mammograms, you can rely on standard mammograms to serve you well.

The booklet on breast cancer provides information on its detection and treatment. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1101W, 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.

saw flashes of light. I called the doctor, and he saw me that day. He told me I had a vitreous detachment. Is this serious? -- L.P.

ANswER: The vitreous is a thick, gel-like material that fills the back two-thirds of the eye. It provides support for the eye. The vitreous abuts on the retina, the sensitive layer of cells that transfers incoming images to the brain. A vitreous detachment means it has pulled away from the retina. In doing so, it stimulated the retina to cause the flashing lights you saw.

The doctor made sure your retina was OK. Flashes of light also can be a signal that the retina is tearing. For the present, nothing else needs to be done. The doctor will examine you again in a few months to be positive the retina is remaining in good health.

***

dEAR dR. doNoHuE: Ten months ago I had my gallbladder removed. My problem is I must still take a Lactaid pill when I eat some foods, especially dairy. Why? -- D.B.

ANswER: Your gallbladder stores bile made in the liver. When people eat a fatty meal, their gallbladders contract to squirt bile into the digestive tract to aid in the digestion of fats. If the gallbladder has stones, that contraction causes abdominal pain. You should not have that pain now. A different problem centers on lactase, an enzyme that digests milk sugar lactose. As people grow older, many lose their lactase enzymes. Drinking or eating dairy products causes them diarrhea and abdominal pain. You still need your Lactaid pill to digest dairy products. This has nothing to do with the gallbladder.

Tasty

A to ZucchiniNothing inspires a gardener to be generous to friends and neighbors like an abundant crop of zucchini! Anyone who has grown zucchini knows that a little planting goes a long way. Maybe you’ve run out of ways to prepare zucchini, and friends and neighbors are no longer returning your phone calls.

Here are some recipes to transform your abundant crop into tasty snacks, along with tips for preserving your bumper crop for future dishes.

ZUCCHINI-PINEAPPLE

4 quarts diced or shredded zucchini46 ounces canned unsweetened pineapple juice1 1/2 cups bottled lemon juice3 cups sugar

Mix ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 20 minutes. Fill hot jars with hot mixture and cooking liquid, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece lids and process in a boiling water bath (15 minutes for half-pints or pints).

ZUCCHINI PICKLES

2 pounds zucchini, sliced (about 8 small)1/3 pound onion, quartered and sliced (about 1 small)1/4 cup canning salt (2 cups sugar2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns2 teaspoons mustard seed1 teaspoon celery salt1 teaspoon turmeric3 cups vinegar

1. Combine zucchini and onion in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water. Let stand 2 hours. Drain mixture, then rinse and drain again. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour vinegar mixture over zucchini and onions and let stand 2 hours.

2. Bring all ingredients to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 5 minutes.

Pack hot zucchini and liquid into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps and process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner. Makes 4 half-pints.

ZUCCHINI RELISH

2 cups chopped zucchini (about 3 medium)1 small head green cabbage, finely chopped1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)1/2 cup chopped sweet green pepper (about 1 small)1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper (about 1 small)2 1/2 tablespoons salt2 cups sugar2 cups apple cider vinegar2 teaspoons celery seed1 teaspoon mustard seed

1. Combine zucchini, cabbage, onion and peppers in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and cover with cold water. Let stand 2 hours. Drain mixture, then rinse and drain again. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add vegetables and simmer 10 minutes.

2. Pack hot relish into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece lids and process 10 minutes in boiling water canner. Makes 4 half-pints.

DEHYDRATED ZUCCHINI

Choose young,

slender zucchini. Wash zucchini and cut into 1/4-inch slices for cooking purposes or 1/8-inch slices for chips. Dry in a single layer in a 125 F oven until brittle. Use slices in soups and casseroles, or sprinkle zucchini chips with seasoned salt and serve with dips.

To Freeze Slices:Choose young, tender zucchini. Wash and cut in 1/2-inch slices. Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes. Cool promptly in ice-cold water before draining and packaging in freezer bags or containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and freeze.

To Freeze Grated: Choose young, tender zucchini. Wash and grate zucchini, then steam blanch in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes. For use in recipes, pack measured amounts into containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Cool by placing the containers in cold water. Seal and freeze. If zucchini is watery when thawed, discard the liquid before use.

HOLLYWOOD -- James Franco got to host the Oscars with Anne Hathaway because he’s got it all going on. We predict he’s the next big Hollywood superstar ... move over george Clooney! Franco, 33, began his career in TV in “Freaks & Geeks” and won a Golden Globe for playing “James Dean” in the TV biopic. The “Spider-Man” trilogy led to “The Pineapple Express,” the award-winning “Milk” and a best-actor Oscar nomination for “127 Hours.”

In his spare time, Franco received permission from UCLA to take up to 62 course credits per quarter (19 is the norm), received an MFA from Columbia University, went to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts for film making and Brooklyn

College for fiction writing. He’s currently getting his Ph.D in English at Yale and soon will attend the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2012 he’ll attend the University of Houston to get his Ph.D in literature and creative writing (only 20 of 400 applicants were accepted).

Franco has “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” just out, and he produced and starred in “The Stare” with winona Ryder. He directed and starred in a nine-day shoot of “Sal,” the biopic of sal Mineo (Oscar nominated for “Rebel Without a Cause” and “Exodus”), with Val Lauren as Mineo, to be released in 2013. He’s currently filming “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” based on “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” (written in 1900), about its creator, L. Frank Baum. He’ll direct and star in “The Night Stalker,” about serial killer Richard Ramirez, star in “The Iceman” with Michael shannon and direct a film version of William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying.” Franco acquired the rights to Stephen Elliot’s “The Adderall Diaries,” which he’ll adapt, star in and direct, and he’ll be on Broadway next season in a revival of Tennessee Williams’ “Sweet Bird of Youth” with Nicole Kidman.

In his spare time, Franco drops into “General Hospital” to play Robert “Franco” Frank (coming up in September for an extended run). Small wonder he’s got little time for romance. He broke up with his actress girlfriend of five years, Ahna o’Reilly, saying that his interest in education came between them! Talk about cracking the books!

Franco’s Oscar co-host, Anne Hathaway, will be Batwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” currently shooting in Pittsburgh with Christian Bale (again Batman), Michael Caine, gary oldman, Morgan Freeman, “La Vie En Rose” Oscar-winner Marion Catillard, “3rd Rock from the Sun” alum Joseph gordon-Levitt, Liam Neeson and Matthew Modine. With a cast like that, it sounds like she’s having more fun cracking the whip (as Batwoman) than the books like James Franco!

• It was the 37th president of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, who made the following sage -- and somehow appropriate -- observation: ‘Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.’

• Pasta has been around since 5,000 B.C., and it was invented in China, not Italy.

• If you’re planning a visit to the United Kingdom, you might want to keep in mind this rather obscure statute: It’s illegal to stand within 100 yards of the reigning monarch if you don’t have socks on.

• A groundhog can move 700 pounds of dirt in a single day.

• When the two-and-one-half-hour finale of the ground breaking television show ‘M*A*S*H’ aired on Feb. 28, 1983, advertisers paid a hefty $450,000 for a single 30-second spot. That was $50,000 more than the same spot cost at the Super Bowl that year.

• We all know what a disaster is, but did you know where the word came from? The base of the word is ‘aster,’ which is Latin for ‘star.’ The word ‘disaster’ originally meant ‘an unfavorable aspect of a star,’ reflecting the ancient notion that the motions of heavenly bodies affected terrestrial events.

• Baseball players didn’t have numbers on their uniforms until 1929, and it was the New York Yankees that were the first to adopt the practice.

• In the early 18th century, newspapers were not cheap, but the stories published therein were often people’s only link to the events of the day. Since they were so coveted, newspapers were often brought as a gift when a gentleman was calling on a lady friend, much as candy or flowers might be brought in a different era.

• On Sept. 1, 1836, Narcissa Whitman, a missionary, arrives in Walla Walla, Wash., becoming one of the first Anglo women to settle west of the Rocky Mountains. In 1847, a measles epidemic killed many of the Cayuse Indians. In retaliation, a band of Cayuse killed 14 people, including Narcissa and her husband.

• On Sept. 4, 1886, Geronimo, the wiliest and most dangerous Apache warrior of his time, finally surrenders in Skeleton Canyon, Ariz. Geronimo never learned to use a gun, yet he armed his men with the best modern rifles he could obtain and even used field glasses to aid reconnaissance during his campaigns.

• On Sept. 2, 1923, aftershocks and out-of-control fires rock Tokyo, Japan, and the surrounding area following an 8.3-magnitude earthquake. In total, 143,000 people died in the disaster. The Imperial Hotel, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, sank 2 feet into the ground but still managed to stand.

• On Sept. 3, 1939, Britain and France declare war on Germany. The first casualty of that declaration was the British ocean liner Athenia, which was sunk that evening by a German submarine.

• On Aug. 31, 1955, William G. Cobb of the General Motors Corp. demonstrates his 15-inch-long “Sunmobile,” the world’s first solar-powered automobile. When sunlight hit 12 photoelectric cells made of selenium (a nonmetal substance with conducting properties) built into the Sunmobile, an electric current was produced that in turn powered a tiny motor.

• On Aug. 30, 1963, a “hot line” between Moscow and Washington goes into effect to speed communication between the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union and help prevent the possibility of an accidental war. The hot line was never really necessary to prevent war, but it did provide a useful prop for movies about nuclear disaster, such as “Fail Safe” and “Dr. Strangelove.”

• On Aug. 29, 1982, the Swedish-born actress and three-time Academy Award winner Ingrid Bergman dies of cancer in London on her 67th birthday. Bergman was best known for her role as Ilsa Lund in “Casablanca.”



• To test the seals on your refrigerator and freezer, close a piece of paper in the door. If you can pull it out easily, it’s likely that your seal is loose. Clean or replace door gaskets for a better seal.

• To keep vinyl car seats bearable in summer heat, keep a few towels in your vehicle and lay them over the seat. This also keeps the plastic parts of baby seats from burning little legs and arms.

• You can use plain white bread to get fingerprints and smudges off of wallpaper and semigloss painted walls. Just ball up the bread center (not the crust) and rub the smudge away.

• “Out of prewash and looking at a nasty grease stain? Grab your dishwashing liquid soap (not the one you would put in your automatic dishwasher). It’s designed to break down grease, and I just dab it on, scrub a bit and then let it set for about a quarter of an hour. After that, I launder in hot water. It’s usually successful.” -- Nancy V., via email

• Check bagged frozen vegetables with the squeeze test: A bag that’s hard and solid has thawed and subsequently refrozen. You should choose another bag, one with loose, free-moving pieces.

• Remove cloudiness from a batch of iced tea with this trick: Let your tea cool before refrigerating it. You also can add a small bit of boiling water to a glass of iced tea if it is already cloudy.

Dog Tormented by Allergies

Q: My 7-year-old dog, ÒCara,Ó itches terribly and scratches all the time. She may have allergies, but I’m not certain. I’ve tried a number of treatments, including Benadryl, steroids, special shampoos and conditioners, sprays, pills, etc. I have her groomed regularly, and during the last trip had her fur shaved off because it tangles so badly when it’s long. Nothing helps! Is there anything you could suggest? -- A Reader, via e-mail

A: I’m sorry to hear how Cara is suffering. I’m sure you’ve taken her to the vet for a complete examination to rule out other underlying causes, but I do want to mention it for my other readers’ sake.

Dogs can suffer from allergies to many of the same things we humans do. Allergens like dust and dander, as well as flea bites, can cause allergic symptoms. Certain foods also can cause allergic reactions including skin reactions, itching, diarrhea and vomiting.

You’ve tried several common medications to relieve allergy symptoms, without any improvement. It’s time to consult the veterinarian again. Look at Cara’s diet, including snacks and ‘sneaked’ food that you may have caught her trying to get at. Also note her home environment, where she spends most of her time, and the objects, carpeting and plants around her. Talk with the vet about any other possible causes of her allergies.

To Crate or Not to Crate?

Q: What’s your view of kennel cages? My wife hates the idea of using one to train our dog Sandy, but I disagree. What do you say? -- Jerry in Las Cruces, N.M.

A: I’m personally OK with the concept of crating (or “kennel cages”). It’s an effective way to house train a puppy (who won’t soil a sleeping or living area) and teaches it to stay comfortable and relaxed in a similar container, the travel crate, which is essential to traveling with your dog.

However, I do see frequent instances where the crate is misused, with negative consequences for dog and owner alike.The crate also serves as a home or den for your dog. So it always has to be seen by Sandy as a safe place to be, perhaps the safest place in the house for her. If you use the crate to punish Sandy, such as shutting her up in it when she’s being hyperactive or disobedient, she could associate it with negative feelings and avoid going into it.

I recommend you learn as much as you can about using the crate to train Sandy. The American Dog Trainers Network has a list of tips on furnishing the crate, getting her to accept it and using it as a positive training tool. Find the list here: http://www.inch.com/~dogs/cratetraining.html. It also includes important safety tips, such as always removing Sandy’s collar before putting her into the crate, and making sure she’s not left in an environment that’s too hot or freezing cold.

Q: I have been hearing rumors that ‘Desperate Housewives’ has been canceled. Is that true? I hope not, as it’s my favorite show! -- Emmy R., via e-mail

A: ‘Desperate Housewives’ has not been canceled; however, creator Marc Cherry recently announced that this upcoming eighth season will be the show’s last. While the news was bittersweet for everyone involved, cast and crew agree that the time has come to wrap things up on Wisteria Lane. Marc teased at ABC’s Television Critics Association party last month that this final season will return to the basics and revisit the mystery that launched the show: Mary Alice’s death. Teri Hatcher and company will return on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 9 p.m. EDT.

Q: I was so happy to read in your column that Leeza Gibbons would be returning to daily syndicated television in ÒAmerica Now.Ó What made her decide to return to the daily grind? -- Rita E., Omaha, Neb.

A: Leeza, 54, has never been one to rest on her laurels. In fact, she prides herself on remaining busy, be it with her PBS weekly show ‘My Generation,’ her work with the Home Shopping Network and Guthy-Renker on her Sheer Cover beauty-product empire, or her tireless work as an advocate for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Regarding her signing on with ‘America Now,’ which premieres Monday, Sept. 12 (check your local listings for time), Leeza told me: ‘I’m so excited, because this is a real change of pace for me going back to daily television. I’m crazy about Bill Rancic (her co-host), and we’re very excited about working together on this.

“I’ve already hit the ground running and started looking at some segments that I want to make my own, including interviewing leaders and news makers and celebrities about success and living without limits. There’s also consumer news, lifestyle and fitness, and things for children -- we’re

going to tackle all of it.’

***

Q: Last night I rented ‘Red Riding Hood’ and noticed one of the stars is Max Irons. Any relation to Jeremy Irons? -- Hillary G., via e-mail

A: Max Irons, 25, is the son of Academy Award-winning English actor Jeremy Irons. Next up, Max is set to star as the title character in the feature film ‘Vivaldi,’ along with Alfred Molina, Elle Fanning and Tom Wilkinson. It is due for release in 2013.

***

Q: With all the talk of Amy Winehouse’s recent death, the death of football great Bubba Smith was overlooked. Can you give me any information on him? -- Harold T. in Florida

A: Charles Aaron ‘Bubba’ Smith passed away on Aug. 3 of apparent natural causes (as of this writing, the final coroner’s report had not been released). The former defensive end for the Baltimore Colts, Oakland Raiders and Houston Oilers -- who some consider even more famous for his work as Moses Hightower in the ‘Police Academy’ films -- was 66 at the time of his passing.
