Is there any sight greater and more majestic than that of a snow-capped
mountain? This week, Tidbits takes you on an exploratory trip around the world.
It’s sure to be a peak experience.s In the Oxford English Dictionary, a mountain is defined as “a natural elevation of the earth surface rising more or less abruptly from the surrounding level and attaining an altitude which, relatively to the adjacent elevation, is impressive or notable.”s There are five basic kinds of mountains: fold mountains (folded mountains), fault-block mountains (block mountains), dome mountains, volcanic mountains and plateau mountains. Geologists believe mountains make up about one-fifth of the world’s landscape. s The absolute heights of mountains and hills vary greatly according to an area’s terrain. Major mountains occur in long linear arcs, indicating tectonic plate boundaries and activity. Two types of mountains are formed depending on how the rock reacts to the tectonic forces — block or fold mountains.s The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest mountain chain in North America. They extend from Newfoundland to Alabama. s The Appalachian Mountains are made up of mountains, ridges and valleys. The Great Smoky Mountains are in this region, and they run from Tennessee to North Carolina. s The Blue Ridge Mountains are the backbone of the Appalachian Mountain system. They extend from Georgia to Pennsylvania. s Mt. Mitchell, in the Appalachians, is the highest mountain on the eastern coast. It is about 6,684 feet high (2,037 meters).s The Andes Mountain range is an uninterrupted chain of highland that is situated along the western coast of

SeniorNews LineVibration therapy is said to address a number of ills: prevent varicose veins, break up cellulite, rev up the lymph system and reduce knee and leg pain. The big benefit, however, is that it’s possible for vibration therapy to address the problem of bone loss.Here’s how vibration therapy is thought to work: The machine platform that one sits or stands on vibrates at 30-90 cycles per second, the same rate as muscles in the human body. The vibrations in essence mimic the body and do what the body isn’t doing anymore — creating bone, in this case. The studies are numerous and come from all over the globe. In China, a 24-week study in postmenopausal women show an increase in the bone and mineral density of the hip.In Belgium, researchers compared vibration therapy with regular resistance training, and the vibration therapy showed that strength increased.In Florida, a study concluded that whole-body vibrations
“improve quality of life, walk, balance and motor capacity in elderly patients.”Even NASA has gotten into the act with LIV, or Low Intensity Vibration. With astronauts spending long periods of time in space with no real way to exercise, bone loss has been a serious concern. Via various contraptions, NASA has been able to let astronauts work out, but the results haven’t been satisfactory when it comes to bone loss. Enter vibration therapy, and a way for astronauts to maintain bone strength while in space. I found some of these alleged machines for sale online. This is one item that needs a doctor’s advice, though, as a vibration level that’s too high can be very dangerous.

programs also include a food box.If you’re in a veterans service organization, perhaps the best thing you can do for the parents left behind is to host a party for the kids and give the parent a few free hours.If you know a parent who is struggling with the absence of the family’s service member, make sure she (and it usually is a she) has access to information she needs. Ask family support services at the nearest base what help is available, and make sure she knows about it. Programs are called by various names depending on the military branch, but they all involve help with a wide variety of services, such as financial help for mortgage, car payment, phone bill, support groups and more.Prefer to have your efforts remain anonymous? Go to www.aafes.com, click Support Troops and click on Help Our Troops Call Home. Scroll down and look for various ways your purchase of a phone card can help. Also check out phone cards for Injured Soldiers and Their Families.

The holidays can be tough on the families of service members who are deployed. Here are some ways you can help make their holidays a little brighter:If you live near a military base, call its family support services. Tell them you’d like to help with toys, food boxes or anything else. You can help financially by donating a Walmart gift card so the at-home parent can buy what the family needs, paying a utility bill, donating a phone card and more. If you’re so inclined (and have the right equipment), volunteer to play Santa for a group of little kids.Volunteer at any location where they collect, pack and deliver toys for military kids.

Holiday Weight Gain Isn’t Inevitable
The holiday season is a time for festive gatherings with family and friends. It’s also the time of year when we see tempting treats everywhere we turn.“Weight gained during the holidays often comes from eating foods that are high in sugar and fat,” says Joan Daniels, R.D., a dietitian at the University of Michigan. “The good news is that you can still enjoy these special occasions as long as you use a bit of restraint and keep yourself from indulging too much.”Daniels and fellow Cancer Center dietitian Nancy Burke, R.D., offer the following tips to help you enjoy the holiday season without packing on the pounds.• Don’t go hungry to a holiday event. Eat a snack or light meal before you leave. Foods high in protein, like cottage cheese, nuts or chicken, help you eat less later. Fasting ahead of time, leaving room for a big meal or planning extra trips to the buffet table often leads to overeating.• Eat smaller portions of food. This is especially important at a buffet, where you may want to try everything. Instead, choose the items you want to try the most, and eat a small portion of each.• Pace, don’t race. Many times, people eat so fast that their stomachs don’t have enough time to register that they’re full. Eat slowly, savoring each bite and enjoying the taste of the food; chances are you will eat less and not overeat.• Limit fast food. Don’t let a hectic holiday schedule force you to rely on eating fast food often. Prepare and freeze quick, healthy meals ahead of time to stay out of the fast-food trap.• Offer to bring a low-calorie dish to holiday parties. Your host will appreciate it, and you’ll know that at least one healthy item will be on hand.• Be realistic. Don’t try to diet during the holidays. Set a goal to maintain your present weight.• Watch what you drink during the holidays. Regular eggnogs and other drinks made with syrups contain a high amount of calories. Try flavored, calorie-free waters, sparkling apple or grape juice, low-sodium vegetable juices or hot cider instead. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.• Get physical. Look for ways to incorporate some daily physical activity during the holidays. Enjoy a brisk walk, either outside or at an indoor mall. Exercise also can be a huge stress reliever.

TOP MOUNTAINS (continued):South America. It is the longest exposed mountain range in the world and comprises two great ranges: Cordillera Oriental and Cordillera Occidental, which stand divided by a deep intermediate depression. s The Himalayas stretch across six countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, the People’s Republic of China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Some of the world’s major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Yangtze, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to some 1.3 billion people, including the people of Bangladesh. s The world’s highest peak on land is Mt. Everest in the Himalayas. It is 29,036 feet (8,848 meters) tall. When measured from sea-level, Mount Everest is without a doubt the biggest mountain peak on this planet. However, if one were to consider the height of a mountain from its base to its peak, there are few other mountains such as Mt. McKinley and Mauna Kea that are taller than Everest in totality.s Prior to being named Mount Everest, the mountain was commonly referred to as Peak XV. It was formally named Mount Everest after Col. George Everest who was the Surveyor General of India in the early 1860s. s Mount Everest also has some local names such as Sagarmatha (Nepali) and Chomolungma (Tibetan). s The first people to scale Mount Everest were Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. They did it on May 29, 1953.s Alaska has the 16 highest peaks in the United States.s The Malaspina Glacier, at the foot of Mt. Saint Elias, is larger than Rhode Island.s The beautiful Rocky Mountains extend some 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) from the Mexican frontier to the Arctic Ocean, through the western United States
s The Canadian Rockies are quite different in appearance and geology from the American Rockies to the south of them. The Canadian Rockies are composed of layered sedimentary rock such as limestone and shale. The American Rockies are made of metamorphic and igneous rock, such as granite. s Alberta, Canada, is named after Princess Louisa Caroline Alberta, the fourth child of Queen Victoria. The Princess was born in 1848, and married the Governor General of Canada. The princess is also the namesake of Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains.s Five national parks are located within the Canadian Rockies, four of which interlock and make up the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site These four parks are Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho.

Last-minute steps to reduce taxes
There is still time to do the year-end math and see if you can reduce the amount of income taxes you’ll pay. Here are steps you can take:• Invest in computer tax software now, before the end of the year, and run your estimated numbers to see what they look like.• Add up your medical bills for the year. If you can deduct them on the Schedule A tax form, schedule last-minute dental and medical procedures before the end of the year.• Make a 13th payment on your mortgage to increase the Form 1098 interest amount the mortgage company will send you. Every little bit helps.• Make your donations to Goodwill and Salvation Army before the end of the year. Be sure to get a dated receipt with all of your items listed. Use “It’s Deductible” tax software to calculate the value of your donations. Beware noting all of your items as being in excellent condition. “Average” will still get you some amount of donation value without raising any red flags.• If you were out of work and looked for employment, add up your expenses for the job hunt. You can take mileage, clothing for the interview, costs of preparing and copying your resume if you were seeking employment in the same field. The catch is that you can’t wait a long time to see employment if you want to claim the benefits of the job-hunt deductions. See IRS publication 529 for more information. Remember that you’ll be required to pay taxes on any unemployment benefits you received on any amount more than $2,400.• If you are self-employed, use holiday sales to purchase big-ticket items you’ll need next year, such as updated telephones, computer, printer, office furniture and supplies.• If you’ll need a new appliance soon, consider getting it before the end of the year to take advantage of the tax credit for buying energy-efficient models. See www.energystar.gov. The same applies to any fast remodeling projects such as energy efficient storm doors and windows that can be done before the end of the year. • Put as much money as you can, up to the limit, in an IRA. Get expert financial advice and consider making that a Roth IRA.

and sections of Canada. s The highest peak in the U.S. Rockies is Mt. Elbert in Colorado, at 14,433 feet (4,399 meters); in the Canadian Rockies it is Mt. Robson in British Columbia, at 12,972 feet (3,954 meters). s The Continental Divide, located in the Rocky Mountains, separates waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico from those flowing into the Pacific Ocean. s The Rocky Mountains include at least 100 separate ranges, which are generally divided into four broad groupings: the Canadian Rockies and Northern Rockies of Montana and northeastern Idaho; the Middle Rockies of Wyoming, Utah and southeastern Idaho; the Southern Rockies, mainly in Colorado and New Mexico; and the Colorado Plateau in the four corners region.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you give me any information on Canine Influenza Virus? — Jordan C., Kansas City, Mo.DEAR JORDAN: This relatively new virus was identified about six years ago following an outbreak of a mystery illness among dogs at a race track in Jacksonville, Fla. It was determined that a horse virus had been transmitted to the dogs. Since then, Canine Influenza Virus has joined a list of communicable diseases to which dogs, especially those in crowded living conditions like a kennel or shelter, are vulnerable.CIV is sometimes mistaken for kennel cough, as one of its symptoms is coughing that can worsen after activity. However, unlike kennel cough, CIV is often accompanied by a runny nose, sneezing and runny eyes. In more severe cases of CIV, a high fever is present, along with loss of appetite, lethargy or depression, and sometimes difficulty breathing. Any of these symptoms should prompt a visit to the veterinarian to confirm CIV and make sure pneumonia doesn’t set in.
Because CIV is a virus, antibiotics aren’t an effective cure. Treatment includes making your dog more comfortable — including cough medicine or other medicines to reduce symptoms — and keeping its immune system strong through a good diet and vitamin supplements. Prevent your pet from exposing other dogs to the virus, and monitor its condition closely in case its health worsens. The illness usually runs its course in four weeks.Fortunately, a vaccine for the virus is available. Ask the vet about immunizing your pet, particularly if you plan to place it in a kennel or doggie daycare. More information and a clinic locator tool are available at www.doginfluenza.com.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I’ve just hung up the phone after talking to my doctor. He has me scared out of my wits. This morning while reading the newspaper, I couldn’t hold it up. My right arm became weak. In about five minutes, everything returned to normal. I thought I had better call the doctor to see if this was serious.The doctor thinks I had a ministroke and wants me to have someone take me to the hospital ASAP. I told him I was fine. He said that doesn’t matter. I thought I would drop you a line for your opinion. I trust your judgment. What should I do? — T.R.ANSWER: I hope you listened to your doctor. You should do exactly what he told you. You have an emergency on your hands. You most likely had a TIA — a transient ischemic attack — a ministroke. Investigation should be taking place as soon as possible — immediately. A part of your brain lost its blood supply for a short time. Even a brief occurrence like the one you describe can cause permanent brain damage. Worse, it is often the
foreboding of a complete stroke. You have to be checked for a blockage in one of your carotid arteries, the large neck arteries that deliver blood to the brain. You have to be examined for a clot in other body locations like the heart. Pieces of those clots can break loose and be carried to a brain artery, where they stop the flow of blood permanently. Atrial fibrillation, a common heartbeat disturbance, is often responsible for such clots. Numbness, weakness or both of a hand, arm, leg, side of the face or tongue can be a sign of a TIA. Trouble expressing oneself is another sign. So are disturbances of vision. None lasts long, but they are quite significant and serious warnings.I don’t have important background information on you. I am counting on your good sense to get you to the hospital quickly.The booklet on stroke, one of our most feared illnesses, covers the topic in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 902W, 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.

independent retirement home snuggled into a landscape of moss-laden oaks and towering pines. A fountain gurgles in front of the building, and walking paths surround it. It is a retirement home with heart. Holiday Retirement is the parent company, and trains all its employees in what they call the “Holiday Touch.” The Holiday Touch is simply that all the residents are treated as family by a caring, respectful, and empathetic management team.
It’s simple, really. There are two husband and wife management teams that live on site, and are on call 24 hours a day. They are truly dedicated to making the facility a home and making the residents as happy and secure as possible.
Holiday Retirement fashioned its retirement complexes on the cruise ship model. Three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, linens and towels provided, transportation to shopping, and appointments: its carefree living.
The residents and staff participate in many community events, as well as volunteer at hospice, thrift shops, and hospitals. These are active, involved adults. The Indigo Pines staff creates events and trips for the community at large. A trip to Parris Island was a highlight of October. The Hilton Head Vocal Jazz Project will be entertaining there in November, and a sock hop (wear your poodle skirt!) is also planned. Seminars are scheduled every month for continued learning: a Seminar on the Veteran Aid and Attendance benefits, a discussion about Medicare and Tricare, and an investment counselor to speak about investing and risk management are all planned for November.
Indigo Pines is located at 110 Gardner Drive on Hilton Head. Please stop by and enjoy dinner with us!

TOP MOUNTAINS (continued):s The world’s highest mountain, from its base on the ocean floor, is Mauna Kea, on Hawaii. It is 33,474 feet (10,203 meters) high, but only 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) are above sea level. The summit of Mauna Kea has been a celestial observatory since ancient times and is considered to be one of the best astronomical sites in the world. The summit of Mauna Kea is above approximately 40 percent of Earth’s atmosphere, which not surprisingly, allows for exceptionally clear and amazing images of the night sky. Additionally, the peak is well above the inversion layer, which leads to approximately 300 clear nights per year. s Standing at 4,406 feet (1,343 meters), Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles, and as such is the major challenge for any United Kingdom climber or walker. In Gaelic, the mountain’s name Beinn Nibheis has been linked with Irish and Gaelic words meaning poisonous or terrible.s As the most recognized mountain on the European continent, the roughly chiseled rock pyramid that is the Matterhorn is a defining geographical landmark. With a near perfect pyramid, its absolute symmetry distinguishes this mountain. It is considered the birthplace of climbing.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This year, instead of jumping into the whole holiday prep scene, move in a little at a time. You’ll appreciate the sense of control you’re more likely to enjoy.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The separation between the Bovine’s head and heart is never as far apart as it seems. Both senses work best when they come out of logic and honesty.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The best way to keep those pre-holiday pressures under control is to just say no to taking on new tasks while you’re still trying to work with a heap of others.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) News means a change might be on its way, but what does it hold? Don’t just ask questions; make sure you get answers you can trust.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Old friends and new have one thing in common: Both your longtime and newly minted pals have much wisdom to impart.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With time running out, this is a good time for you to show ‘em all what those Virgo super-organizational skills can do.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Librans and
holidays are made for each other, especially if children and animals are going to be part of your joyous season.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Time is getting too short to allow a spat to taint the holiday
season. Restart your relationship and reschedule holiday fun times.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Seeking advice is laudable. You might learn far more than you thought you could. Stay with it.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Continuing to assess changes works toward your getting your new project up and ready. Trusted colleagues remain ready to help.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new situation needs a lot of attention, but it’s worth it. This is a very good time for you to involve the arts in what you do.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It might be a good idea to slow your hectic holiday pace so that you don’t rush past what — or who — you’re hoping to rush toward.BORN THIS WEEK: Others pick up on your confidence in yourself, which inspires others to believe in you and your special gifts.

REadER MaiLDEAR NASCAR THIS WEEK: I liked your answer to Kathy Rhudy concerning Jimmie
Johnson. I say if a person has talent they deserve the rewards. Jimmie Johnson is a good driver. I say hooray for him. Some people don’t like Kyle Busch, but I say he is a good driver. Give him his due. — Norma Lee, Shoals, Ind.
* * *DEAR NASCAR THIS WEEK: NASCAR is concerned about the declining attendance, and declining sales. Could the possibility of a recession have anything to do with it? — John J. Johnson Jr., Liberty Center, OhioDEAR JOHN: Hardly anyone has discussed the decline without citing the recession. There are other factors, as well.
* * *DEAR NASCAR THIS WEEK: Here are some reasons why the NASCAR “bubble” has burst:1. The Chase…silly and a waste of time. Why run 36 races and then have a 10-race champion crowned? Asinine. The most consistent driver should win the championship.2. Thirty-six races are waaaaay too much. Run 25, crown a champ, and leave the people with real anticipation for the next year.3. Eliminate the cookie-cutter tracks. Boring races.4. Go back to NASCAR’S roots. Run two races at Darlington. Revamp North Wilkesboro and run there again. Return to the Rock — Rockingham.5. Qualify 40 cars per race at 1-mile-plus tracks. Thirty-six cars at 3/4-mile-and-under tracks. No locked-in positions. Qualify on speed or go home.
I grew up a NASCAR fan. My family was going to Dover and Richmond (old 1/2-mile track) when they only had grandstands on the front stretch. Ten years ago I was sure NASCAR was going to go down the tubes. It is not a stick-and-ball sport. Don’t try (to) make it that. All your yuppie fans left after three years. — Harold Sultzbaugh, Hanover, Pa.
* * *DEAR NASCAR THIS WEEK: Two reasons (for the sport’s slump) are that
NASCAR fans like me are tired of “NASCAR.” Two examples: mystery cautions or cautions for the slightest little thing, and only enforcing the rules it wants to enforce. (Kyle) Busch went below the line and improved his position (Talladega) and was not forced below the line. He did not win that truck race by the rules that NASCAR itself makes.Those are two quick reasons why NASCAR is less than it was. I will add a third, but it is more of a personal one. Rick Hendricks is the worst thing that ever happened to NASCAR. He has my sympathy for his personal loss, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, but the fact is he’s a convicted felon — although he did buy a pardon — and should have been thrown out of NASCAR. When an organization allows crooks to be team owners, it tells you a lot about the organization. The same thing for (Gene) Haas also.Owners should be limited to two teams, and all affiliations to other teams should be tightly scrutinized and very limited. — Ron Bean, Pachuta, Miss.DEAR RON: Arbitrary rules enforcement was a part of NASCAR long before the slump.
Race attendance is declining. Attendance at the 2010
Brickyard 500 was about half that of 2007. (Associated

hoLiday saFetyThanksgiving is upon us again (unless you’re in Canada, in which case it’s safely past) and the holiday season is about to go full swing. Your family is probably similar to mine, with relatives traveling from all over to catch up on things, and most of all, eat. You might not have a nephew’s wedding to attend in the same time frame, but I just look at it as another opportunity to hang out with family and friends we might not otherwise get a chance to see.If your home is host to this year’s get-together, add a few of these items to your to-do list. They’ll help make everyone more comfortable and safe amid all the bustle of activity.• Plan to sequester your housepets during the height of holiday activity. Place them in a room with food, litter box, toys, and bed or blanket. Check on them frequently.• Put away ongoing household projects, like painting or repairs, or close off rooms that are undergoing repair or renovation. Put a “do not enter” sign on the door if necessary.• Remove chemicals, sharp tools, pesticides and other dangerous items from parts of the home that might be easily accessed by children. Don’t store them near laundry, food or drink.• Rearrange the garage a bit, even if you think no one will go into it. Place chemicals out of reach and store tools securely, in a closed toolbox or hanging high on your workshop pegboard.• Shut off the heat to rooms you don’t want guests to enter. You can do this by closing the registers. If they don’t see the “do not enter” signs, they’ll probably get the hint if it’s dark and cold.• When guests start arriving, make sure your car’s safety brake is set and lock the doors to reduce the chance of curious kids climbing into it.• Once the festivities are done, do a walkaround of the house and yard to make sure nothing dangerous is lying around — spilled liquids, lighted candles or unextinguished cigarettes, for example.HOME TIP: Brush up on fire safety around the kitchen and home for the holiday: The American Red Cross and other safety organizations have plenty of tips on their websites.

THE MAIN SPARKJohnny Bench — one of the greatest catchers and baseball personalities ever to walk to Earth — put it as succinctly as he could that January day. “Sparky…was dissatisfied,” he said. He was, of course, referring to Sparky Anderson, architect of the vaunted “Big Red Machine” of the ‘70s who had just been fired by the team’s president in the 1978 offseason. In retrospect — heck, any respect — it was a pretty dumb move. In nine years, Anderson had led the Reds to five division titles, four pennants, two World Series wins and more wins than any other Reds manager had ever achieved at the time — a record that stands to this day. Cincinnati, however, needed to hear more. The city had just seen the most successful manager in the club’s exceptionally long history (go ahead…Google “Cincinnati Redlegs” to see what I mean) get unceremoniously booted a mere three seasons after the Machine had last rolled through the league; it came as a bit of a shock. How do you just dump a legend? The man considered “the main spark” for one of baseball’s greatest dynasties? Especially
at a franchise that possessed stars like Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Bench and George Foster but was more apt to put the owner’s dog on the front of the media guide instead.“Second place is good, but it’s not up to our standards,” said Dick Wagner, the Reds’ team president at the time. “It’s time to make a change…times and situations change.”The Reds, through inertia, made the playoffs in 1979. They would not reach the postseason again until 1990.Anderson, the baseball fan remembers, was hired by the Detroit Tigers, where he took the wheel of a perennial loser and steered it to a World Series championship within five years, winning the American League Manager of the Year honors in 1984 and 1987. When the dust finally settled, he had rung up 2,194 career wins — the sixth most for a manager in Major League history. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.In a way, it was fitting that George Lee “Sparky” Anderson passed away on Nov. 3, two days after the San Francisco Giants closed out the season with a World Series win. Anderson always hated missing the Fall Classic as a manager, why should it be any different in retirement? And in the end, he perhaps summed up his career and managerial philosophy better than any sports writer ever could.“I got good players, stayed out of the way, let ‘em win a lot, and then just hung around for 26 years,” Anderson said at his Hall of Fame induction.Maybe so, but it helped to have a spark. Thanks for playing ball, Mr. Anderson…you will be missed.

elavskyQ: I am glad to see Tim Meadows back on television in TBS’s “Glory Daze.” Now that Conan O’Brien, Tim’s fellow “Saturday Night Live” alumnus, is also on TBS, is there any chance he will guest-star on the show? — Ralph T., via e-mailA: Tim Meadows’ new one-hour TBS comedy will boast a variety of comedic guest stars this season, but as of now, Conan is not one of them. However, the show is only one degree of separation away from the late-night king.Tim revealed: “We did have Andy Richter (guest star). He did an episode on the show where he plays a priest, an adviser to one of the students. And it’s a really, really funny scene. And we have a lot of other guest appearances by other comedic actors that I think people are going to be very happy about.” You can catch “Glory Daze” Tuesdays on TBS.
i i iQ: Now that “FlashForward” is over, where else can I get my Joseph Fiennes fix? I miss watching him on a weekly basis. — Jenny A. in TexasA: You and me both, Jenny. This spring, Joseph will star in the Starz original fantasy-drama “Camelot,” which tells the story of a teenage King Arthur (played by “The Twilight Saga”’s Jamie Campbell Bower), with Joseph playing the part of Merlin. The 10-part period drama also co-stars Claire Forlani (“Meet Joe Black”) and Eva Green (“Casino Royale”). If the series does well, it could run for multiple seasons.
i i iQ: I collect “All in the Family” DVDs, and they seem to have stopped at Season 6. It has been a long time since they’ve put a new one out, and I wondered if and when
they were planning to? -- Clint K., via e-mailA: Just in time for the holidays, “All in the Family” Season 7, which originally aired from September 1976 to March 1977, is now on store shelves. This season of the groundbreaking series — starring Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers — deals with infidelity, surgery, unemployment, life-saving CPR, draft-dodgers and accidental arson. You won’t have nearly as
long a wait for Season 8, as it’s scheduled to be released Jan. 11, 2011.
i i iQ: What is the meaning of MTAC, the upstairs room with the big screen and worldwide communications on “NCIS”? —Ron S., via e-mailA: MTAC is short for the United States Department of the Navy’s Multiple Threat Alert Center. After the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000, as well as the terrorist events of 9/11, the Navy Antiterrorist Alert Center (ATAC) was transformed in 2002 into the MTAC. According to the Navy’s official
website, “The Department of the Navy’s Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC) provides indications and warning for a wide range of threats to Navy and Marine Corps personnel and assets around the world.”

Each holiday season, many families attend the only ballet they’ll see all year: “The Nutcracker.” But how did “The Nutcracker” become such a popular tradition? And where, exactly, did it come from?The story itself is quite old, and the one we see onstage isn’t even the original but a popular adaptation by the French author Alexandre Dumas, best known for writing “The Three Musketeers.” Once the story made the leap from page to stage, though, history was in the making.Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky composed “The Nutcracker” as his final and least satisfying ballet, taking on the project with a marked lack of enthusiasm. So it is ironic that it would become one of the most beloved Christmas traditions of the 20th century.The ballet premiered in Tchaikovsky’s native Russia in 1892, but “The Nutcracker” didn’t exactly make an instantaneous mark in the annals of American Christmas tradition. In fact, it wasn’t until 1944 that an American ballet company decided to perform the entire ballet. That year, the San Francisco Ballet took on the task, performing the ballet as an annual tradition.It was George Balanchine who really sent “The Nutcracker” on
to popular fame. In 1954 he choreographed the ballet for a New York company, and not a year has passed since when the ballet hasn’t been performed in New York City.Balanchine was the first to have the roll of Clara danced by a child, necessitating a much simpler choreography. By the late
1960s, other ballet companies across North America had jumped on the bandwagon, enthusiastically performing “The Nutcracker” to a receptive annual audience.Today, many cities have a production of “The Nutcracker.” It has even become a tradition on TV. Ovation, the art and
contemporary culture channel, hosts an annual “Battle of the Nutcrackers” every December. For a week, the network runs various productions of the ballet — both traditional and modern interpretations — and asks viewers to vote online for their favorite. The ballet with the most votes is revealed on Christmas Eve and a marathon of all the ballets runs Christmas Day.Whether you go to the theater or enjoy the performance from the comfort of your own home, “The Nutcracker” is a Christmas tradition the whole family can enjoy.
