� e Buckeyes Have It
It's the � � h week of the season, and the Ohio State Buckeyes � nd themselves in a situation they're not familiar with: � ey're in danger of losing.
To the Hoosiers, no less.Ezekiel Elliott, running
back for the scarlet and gray, has the answer. He runs for 274 yards on 23 carries, including touch-down runs of 55, 65 and 75 yards, before watching from the sideline as Indiana tries in vain to answer back.
Moments later, the Buckeyes run o� the � eld, � ngers pointing to the sky. � ey came onto the � eld ranked No. 1 in the nation and they ran o� the � eld in the same position. It's nothing new to the Buckeyes. In fact, they've
run o� the � eld No. 1 as o� en as any team in the nation, and by the time you read this, more times than any other program in history.
This week finds the Buckeyes on top of The Associated Press Top 25 Poll for the 101st time, tied with Oklahoma for the best ever.
Yes, there are other polls. � ere's the Coaches Poll. � e Coaches Poll is nothing but a council of sanctimo-nious former bench riders who call in plays until they don't. CNN somehow matters in their equation, so I'm already thinking it's suspect. Like I really care if Wolf Blitzer thinks Ball State is displaying game control and might crack the top 20 this week if they try.
But I'd take the Coaches Poll over the alternative, that BCS Computer Robot Poll. Computer polls are the de� nite worst. It's not that I'm against technology. I am, but it's not that ... it's
just that I have scars. It seems like yesterday ... the Nut Swamp Elementary Science Fair. � ere I was, a can of baking soda in hand, about to drop it into a glass of orange food-colored 7Up strategically hidden within a mound of clay made up to look like a mountain. It was to be a volcano, a glorious volcano. � e teachers came over. It was to be my moment of triumph ... but no.
They stop next to my table and start to study Brad Mascott's display instead. Brad had a shoebox laid on its side, with the top converted into a keyboard. � ere was a slot cut on top of the box. "It's a computer," he announced. "Ohhhh!" said the teachers. � ey gave him the Best in Show. I cried foul. "He doesn't even have FOOD COLORING! OR BAKING SODA!" But it was no use. Times had changed at Nut Swamp. Technology — in this case, an empty Reebok box —
was here to stay. The volcano era was over.
Anyway, those polls are jokes. If you want a poll you can argue over, you need to leave it to the expert non-experts. Leave it to the AP Poll. An old-fashioned poll, comprised of 65 full-time sportswriters and broad-casters who drove to the game in a forest-green GMC truck while smoking Swisher Sweets. � ose are the guys you want picking a champion, believe me.
And that's the poll that says Ohio State has been the best, for the longest ... or at least since the FDR administration. Say what you want about THE Ohio State University ... just make sure you talk about them like the winners they most o� en are. Who can argue the facts?
Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

With consumer prices down over the past year, monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) bene� ts for nearly 65 million Americans will not automatically in-crease in 2016.
� e Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in Social Security and SSI bene� ts if there is an increase in in� ation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The period of consideration includes the third quarter of the last year a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) was made to the third quarter of the current year. As determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, there was no increase in the CPI-W from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015. � erefore, under existing law, there can be no COLA in 2016.
Other adjustments that would normally take e� ect based on changes in the national average wage index also will not take e� ect in January 2016. Since there is no COLA, the statute also prohibits a change in the maximum amount of earn-ings subject to the Social Security tax, as well as the retirement earnings test exempt amounts. These amounts will remain un-changed in 2016.
The Department of Health and Human Services
has not yet announced Medicare premium changes for 2016. Should there be an increase in the Medicare Part B premium, the law contains a “hold harmless” provision that protects ap-proximately 70 percent of Social Security bene� ciaries from paying a higher Part B premium, in order to avoid reducing their net Social Security benefit. � ose not protected include higher income bene� ciaries subject to an income-ad-justed Part B premium and bene� ciaries newly entitled
to Part B in 2016. In addi-tion, bene� ciaries who have their Medicare Part B pre-miums paid by state medical assistance programs will see no change in their Social Security bene� t. � e state will be required to pay any Medicare Part B premium increase.
Information about Medicare changes for 2016, when available, will be found at www.medicare.gov.

The mission of Girl Scouting states: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the world's pre-eminent organization dedi-cated solely to girls - all girls - where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their
lives — like strong values, social conscience, and con-viction about their own potential and self-worth.
Today’s Girl Scouts not only enjoy camping and cra� s, but they also explore math and science and learn about diversity, good citizen-ship, leadership and team-work. Girl Scouting is the place where girls experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together. Girl Scouting has inspired more than 50 million girls and women since its founding in 1912.
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois is a not-for-pro� t organization supported by various United Ways throughout the region. Girl Scouts is a Proud Partner of United Way.

� e American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood before the holiday season is in full swing.
Blood donations o� en decline from � anksgiving to New Year’s Day when holiday festivities pull people away from their donation appointments. � is o� en causes a drop in the blood available for pa-tients. Donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help o� set this seasonal decline.
Blood donor Kathy Steckly Neuschwander’s father gave blood for years. She always saw him wear his pin when he reached his next gallon – about 12 gallons total. When he was diagnosed with leukemia, she and her family learned � rsthand how important blood donations could be around the holidays.
“He passed away in 1994
from leukemia and needed a blood transfusion so we could have one more � anksgiving together,” she said. “My brother and sister were able to come home from the East Coast for this. I can now say I am wearing his three-gallon pin.”
Donors with all blood types are needed, and es-pecially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative and AB blood. To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visitredcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors can now use the Blood Donor App to access their donor card and view vital signs from previous donations.
Upcoming blood dona-tion opportunities are listed below.

CookingWith Lizzie
Egg-sellent RecipesEggs are amazing when you think about it. We depend on them in so many
ways; we like them cooked nearly any way, but especially in the morning. My family likes them scrambled, baked, fried, in omelettes — let's face it — any way they can get them. Some of my favorite egg recipes are below.
Scrambled Eggs Deluxe4 large eggs 1 T. butter1 T. water 2 tsp. red-salmon or golden caviar1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
Into medium-size bowl, crack and open each egg at broad end, keeping rest of shell intact. Rinse shells, drain, and set upright in 4 egg cups. Add water and pepper to eggs and beat until well mixed. In skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it begins to sizzle. Pour egg mixture into skillet and cook until it begins to set on bottom. Draw tip of pancake turner across bottom of skillet, forming large, soft curds of egg. Continue to cook just until eggs are thickened but still moist. Remove from heat. With a teaspoon, spoon scrambled eggs into each shell. Top with caviar. Makes 2 servings.
Ramp-and-Potato Egg Scramble6 small (about 3/4 lb.) red potatoes 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper6 large eggs 2 T. butter or margarine1/3 cup water 1/2 cup chopped ramps1/4 tsp. salt (white bulbs and green tops)
In steamer or 4-quart saucepan with wire rack, steam potatoes over boiling water until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool potatoes until easy to handle. Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch chunks. In small bowl, beat eggs, water, salt, and pepper until blended. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add potatoes.

The Benghazi Select Committee Hearings were held last Thursday. Some called it a hearing, but person-ally, I thought it was more like an 11-hour food fight by a bunch of badly behaved s e cond g raders , b ot h Republicans and Democrats. I stayed tuned to most of it waiting for the grown ups to take over, but those of you that watched along with me already know it didn't happen.
� e � rst thought I had just before the hearings were called to order by Trey Gowdy, Chairman of the Committee, was how would Hillary Clinton lie her way out of this one about sending Susan Rice out on three major network Sunday morning talk shows to tell the American People that what happened was an out of hand protest over a video, when she knew all the time it was a terrorist attack on the outpost in Benghazi that le� Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. Finally, a� er two weeks the truth came out!!! But most of us with half a brain already knew it!
As Gowdy made his opening remarks, Hillary Clinton � ipped through her notes, prepared by her sta� , eyes down and at times started writing. Her typical arrogance prevailed.
A� er that, Elijah Cummings (D-MD) started his rhetoric. It didn't take me long to realize why this committee hadn't made progress (less the infor-mation, e.g., emails, etc. that were requested by the GOP). Cummings turned the hearing into a three ring political circus in the very beginning. He was off and running, attacking GOP Presidential candidates and the Republican Party as a whole. It was certainly not the time for this kind of statement. Cummings, along with every Democrat on the committee, sit on that committee for one reason and one reason only, in my opinion, and that is to get Hillary Clinton elected. It's too bad he and the other Democrats aren't there to get to the truth. But stepping it back, in Cummings' opening remarks, he lied more than once and later had to go back and correct his falsehood in-volving a statement McCarthy made.
As for the Republicans, they were as bad as the Democrats with a little less hostility. Partisan politics came to life in the Benghazi Select Committee hearings.
So what did I learn a� er 11 hours of BS? Something I
already knew, as many did, and I learned some new things:
Hillary Clinton, along with Obama, was responsible for the failed policy in Libya which resulted in the death of four Americans. On Sept. 11, 2012 these men — fathers, sons, husbands, grandsons, uncles, brothers and friends — made the decision to step out and tried to make things better, and our government let them down.
I learned that the day before the hearings started last week, the committee received Chris Stevens' emails — three years a� er the attack.
I learned that the Obama administration (not just Clinton) might have been re-sponsible for putting Susan Rice on the talk shows to lie; a� er all, it was just 56 days before an election.
I learned that Ms. Clinton, then Secretary of State, did not respond to Ambassador Stevens' numerous requests for help prior to the attack.
I learned that when Chris Stevens first became the Ambassador he had 35 secu-rity people; at the time of the attack, he had only 9.
I learned that the night of Sept. 11, 2012 Hillary Clinton emailed her daughter and said there were two Americans killed at the outpost in Benghazi by an al Queda-like group. She told her family one thing and the American people something else.
I was reminded again that she, Obama and their cronies in Washington sat in the White House Situation Room and watched the massacre of four brave Americans as they died one by one in real time and did nothing about it. And let me remind all that there were some Americans that lived to tell the story that said they were told to stand down while terrorists poured through those front gates. Terrorists, not protesters.
And of course, there was a lot more.
In many cases, questions on legitimate issues were raised but not pursued.
For example, regarding Hillary's "turned over" emails, especially regarding Benghazi, the question was asked, "Hillary, why is it that in all of 2011, over 700 emails were about Benghazi, but in all of 2012, the year of the attack, only 67 Benghazi emails were turned over?"
� e Hillary response, obvi-ously avoiding the real ques-tion, was, and I paraphrase: "I don't email much. I use the phone, memos and face to face
meetings."Really? No answer for the
dramatic drop in Benghazi emails and because of no follow up questioning by the committee, we still have no answer to that question!
In the end, did Hillary answer the questions? Yes. Were they complete? No.
Are we prepared to handle the next Benghazi? No, we aren't.
Do I feel the focus was on Benghazi? � e answer is no, it was — as I said earlier — like a three ring circus.
Do I feel that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are solely responsible? I abso-lutely do.
A final thought on this committee: In my opinion the Democrats are interested in covering up for Hillary and getting her elected. The Republicans are interested in the truth but are also inter-ested in hanging Hillary.
But in Hillary's famous words, "What di� erence, at this point, does it make?"
For many it doesn't, but for me and many others, my major concern and theirs is Hillary Clinton is running for President. To me that makes a huge difference. The last thing I want is an untrust-worthy person in the Oval Office. And that would be Hillary Clinton.
So on to other pressing issues.
• Vice President Joe Biden ended his 82-day speculation of will he or won't he run for President. He won't.
• Ben Carson took Donald Trump in the newest Iowa polls. Carson is at 28%, Trump is at 19%.
• The next Republican debate is Wednesday night, October, 28.
• Paul Ryan will run for Speaker of the House.
In closing, here is some food for thought in the words of Ben Carson: "Common sense is a lot more valuable than political experience." And to that I say Amen!
Until next week.

Good Luck or Good God
How many times has somebody wished you good luck? As a follower of Jesus Christ, I don’t believe in luck — I believe in the Lord. � e Merriam Webster Dic-tionary de� nes luck as “chance, fortune, to prosper or succeed through chance or good fortune, to come upon something desirable by chance.” Many who believe in luck become involved in various forms of gambling. One of the signs of the decline of a nation is when the gov-ernment sanctions and promotes gambling to fund their programs. I constantly see individu-als who make weekly and even daily circuits of convenience stores to buy lottery tickets hoping they will be the lucky one to strike it rich. Years ago, I knew an elderly man who constantly told me, “Pastor, when my ship comes in, I’m going to build you a new church.” I guess his ship never came in. � e great come-
dian, Will Rodgers, ob-served, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
Luck repudiates faith in the favor of a good God. “� e blessing of the Lord it makes rich.” (Proverbs 10:22) Luck repudiates the impor-tance of character as a foundation of prosperity. “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul pros-pers.” (III John 2) Luck repudiates the principle of hard work and saving. (Proverb 10:4) Luck re-pudiates trust in God to meet ones needs. (Philip-pians 4:19) Luck pro-motes covetousness which is the root of all evil. (Exodus 20:17; Acts 20:33; I Timothy 6:9-10) Luck repudiates God’s principles of prosperity. (Luke 6:38)
Luck hopes for good fortune. Believers seek the favor of God knowing that God is a good God. Apply these three keys to having the favor of God in your life found in Psalm 37. In Psalm 37:3-5, we have these three keys, “Trust in the
Lord, delight in the Lord, and commit your way unto the Lord.” The object of these three keys is the Lord. Luck is a false god that relies on random chance. � e Lord is the true and living God who is good, holy, and faith-ful. David declared, “� e Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1) � ese three keys bring one into a person-al relationship with the good, good Father.
“TRUST in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and verily you shall be fed,” (Psalm 37:3) Don’t trust in luck, trust in the Lord. He is faithful and true. He is all-powerful, all knowing, and every-where present. Jesus taught us not to worry but to trust in the Lord. (Matthew 6:24-34)
“DELIGHT yourself also in the Lord; and he shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4) Christianity is not a religion but a relation-ship with the Lord; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that infuses one with love, joy, and peace. What a great promise, “He shall give you the desires of your heart.” When one delights them-selves in the Lord, His desires and heart become their delight and will. God gives good gi� s to his children. (Luke 11:9-13)
“COMMIT your way unto the Lord . . . and he shall bring it to pass.” (Psalm 37:5) To commit is to surrender. It is to roll everything o� your back and shoulder onto the Lord. Every burden, un-certainty, desire, guilt, and sin — roll it on Jesus. At the foot of the cross the Roman soldiers gambled for the seamless robe of Christ. Don’t gamble your eternal soul on luck, put your faith in a sure thing — the � n-ished work of Christ on the cross. “Knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance.” (Romans 2:4)
I don’t believe in luck. I believe in the Lord.Shalom,Cli� SandersEagle Life [email protected]

What are the horrors of Halloween? Many might say encountering a grue-some ghoul or a blood-sucking vampire is the most horrific part of Halloween. However, an allergic reaction can be just as scary as ghosts and goblins come Halloween.
� e candy a child eats, the makeup kids use as part of their costumes or even the costume itself can cause an allergic reaction. Parents and kids need to be careful and exercise their due dili-gence to avoid possible al-lergens.
MakeupAccording to t he
American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Halloween makeup can trigger an al-lergic reaction or symp-t o m s o f a s t h m a . Inexpensive makeup may contain preservatives that can cause a rash and swell-i n g o f t h e s k i n . Formaldehyde is a very common preservative used
in many of these products, but some products labeled “formaldehyde-free” can still cause allergic reac-tions. Certain makeup is not advisable to use around the mouth or eyes, so be certain to check all packag-ing for any warnings. High-quality theater makeup may be a better option than the cheap crayon sticks sold at costume stores. In any event, always test makeup on a small area of the skin wel l in advance of Halloween. If a rash or any abnormality occurs, do not use the makeup.
CostumesCostumes can induce an
allergic reaction as well. If costumes are older and packed away in a basement or attic, trapped dust and dust mites can make it dif-� cult for those with aller-gies or asthma to breathe. Accessories used for many common Halloween cos-tumes also may cause reac-tions. Crowns, magic wands and faux jewelry that uses metals like nickel may cause rashes and irri-tation. Beware of nickel and cobalt, which can trigger allergic reactions.
Decorations� ose who want to create
a spooky environment at their Halloween parties should be advised that fog machines can trigger asthma attacks in some people. It’s best to check
with party attendants before firing up the fog machine.
Edible TreatsFood allergies abound in
children and adults. Many
commercially produced candy and chocolate bars are manufactured in facto-ries that also process peanuts and other tree nuts, so exercise caution with treats. Baked goods may
contain wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and any number of other food allergens. It’s wise to have a variety of inedible treats available for trick-or-treaters or party-goers, including stickers,
pencils and small toys.Halloween should be an
enjoyable day for the young and the young at heart. � is beloved holiday can be made safer by avoiding common allergy triggers.

Few items signal the fall harvest season more than the bright, orange pumpkins that dot fields and liven up displays outside of homes and businesses. Come fall, many pumpkins are turned into grinning jack-o-lanterns just in time for Halloween. But there are many
other uses for pumpkins as well.Pumpkins are believed to
have originated in North America. Early Native Americans relied on pumpkins as a source of food that helped them survive long winters. Pumpkins could be roasted, baked, boiled, and dried, and they were eaten and used as
medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added to stews. � e shells of the pumpkins could be dried and used as eating and storage vessels.
While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the fol-lowing are a handful of addi-tional ways this versatile fruit can
be put to use.
Beauty RegimenPumpkins contain a number
of essential vitamins and miner-als that can help replenish the skin. Pumpkin purée can be mixed with honey, aloe vera gel, olive oil, and a bit of cornmeal
to create an exfoliating mask for the face or body. Pumpkin also can be used to rejuvenate dry or tired skin from cold weather.
Honey, pumpkin and yogurt can be mixed together and used to condition hair. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it out and shampoo.
Foods & BeveragesPumpkin purée is the basis
for many tasty, pumpkin-infused treats. Purée can be used in pies, cakes, mu� ns, breads, and many additional foods. Pumpkin purée also may be found in certain beverages, such as smoothies and shakes. A bit of spiced purée may appear as � avoring in teas and co� ees.
Roasted pumpkin seeds make a healthy treat. Boil the seeds a few minutes before draining. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and put seeds in a single layer. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and serve.
Pumpkin wines and beers are popular as well. � ere are many recipes for developing sweet, fermented beverages, which tend
to be especially popular in the fall.
� e “guts” of the pumpkin can be simmered along with aromat-ics and other vegetables to create a vegetable stock perfect for soups and broths.
DecorationsPumpkins can also add to
one’s home décor during fall. Pumpkins can be carved for Halloween displays, hollowed-out to hold tealights or used as centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be used as natural � ower pots for mums or other seasonal floral displays. They can be hollowed-out and used as bowls to serve favorite soups and dips.
Use a hollowed, small pumpkin as a natural aromatic candle holder. Cut holes in the sides to vent the exhaust. Rub aromatic spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, on the inside of the pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle in the bottom of the pumpkin and let it send inviting aromas into the air.
VARIOUS WAYS YOU CAN PUT PUMPKINS TO USE

Halloween is a great time to explore your creative side, especially when it comes to decorating for trick-or-treaters or plan-ning a party. Many special spooky e� ects can be used
to create the scary, intimi-dating atmosphere you desire.
Lightning & � under KitsThese kits combine
strobe lights or lighting
e� ects with sound systems to simulate the sounds and sights of a thunderstorm.
Smoke machineRent or purchase smoke
machines, which can be
found at party stores or big box retailers, to add to your eerie atmosphere. Dim the lights and have smoke rolling through the party room or by the front door.
Faux CobwebsPurchase spiderweb kits
at retailers or make your own with cotton. Pure cotton balls can be pulled apart and stretched over various items in the house to create a spiderweb e� ect.
Accent LightingDrape a non� ammable
piece of fabric over a lamp-shade to cast di� erent hues around a room. � is also dims the brightness in the room, creating shadows here and there.

Who Will Care for Pets When Seniors Can’t?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you address the ongoing problem of cats that are being abandoned or released outside to fend for them-selves when their Mom or Dad are placed in an assist-ed-living facility, nursing home or pass away, and the family is not interested in doing what is right for the beloved pet of their family member. What options are available for this pet? — Rita & Michael, via email
D E A R R I T A & MICHAEL: De� nitely, and it’s a bigger problem than many realize. Many adult children don’t anticipate as-sisted care for their parents or end-of-life planning for them. � e situation is di� -cult no matter what, and too o� en, pets are forgotten as families try to � nd solutions.
What options are out there? Just a few:
• Plan ahead. Pet owners themselves (at all ages) should consider the “what-if ” scenarios and have a plan in place for their pet’s care. Make a will, discuss a pet’s care with family members and put your wishes in writing.
• Choose a pet “god parent.” Ask a reliable family member or friend if they would commit to caring for your pet should it become necessary.
• Look for pet-friendly senior care facilities. It may take a bit of searching, but some facilities allow well-behaved smaller pets.
• Contact a pet-friendly senior advocacy group. An advocate can help with some of the most emotion-ally charged aspects of senior care and end-of-life planning, including pet care. Some nonpro� ts can be found here: www.in-sideeldercare.com/public-policy/6-senior-care-con-sumer-advocacy-groups-to-know/
• Contact the pet’s vet-erinarian. Advice and as-
sistance o� en can be found at the vet clinic, before families must take the

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be growing impatient with a situation that seems to resist e� orts to resolve it. But staying with it raises the odds that you’ll nd a way to a suc-cessful resolution.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel and kinship are strong in the Bovine’s aspect this week. � is would be a good time to combine the two and take a trip to see family members for a pre-holiday get-together.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A col-league could make a request you’re not comfortable with. If so, say so. Better to disappoint someone by sticking with your principles than disappoint yourself if you don’t.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) � e Moon Child’s ability to adapt to life’s ebbs and � ows helps you deal with the changes that you might confront at work or at home, or both. � ings settle down by the week’s end.LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to get some long-outstanding business matters re-solved. � en go ahead and plan a fun- lled family getaway weekend with the mate and the cubs.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A possible workplace change seems promising. If you decide to look into it, try not to form an opinion on just a small part of the picture: Wait for the full image to develop.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A newcomer helps keep things mov-ing. � ere might be some bumpy mo-
ments along the way, but at least you’re heading in the right direction. You win praise for your choices.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could be pleasantly surprised by how a decision about one thing opens up an unexpected new option. Also, assistance on a project could come from a surprising source.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With more information to work with, you might now be able to start the process that could lead to a major change. Reserve the weekend for family and friends.CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) � is could be a good time to begin gathering information that will help you turn that long-held idea into something substantive. A personal matter might need extra attention.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) � at new challenge might carry some surprises. But you should be able to handle them using what you already know. � at new supporter should be there to lend assistance.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone might be trying to dis-guise his or her true motives. But the perceptive and perspicacious Pisces should have little or no problem nd-ing the truth in all that foggy rhetoric.BORN THIS WEEK: You can always rely on your people skills to help you nd solutions to problems others o¢ en give up on.
• It was Pulitzer Prize-winning American jour-nalist, author and histo-rian Garry Wills who made the following sage observation: "Politicians make good company for a while just as children do -- their self-enjoy-ment is contagious. But they soon exhaust their favorite subject -- them-selves."
• According to ancient Egyptian mythology, humans were created
from the tears of the sun.• Th e Pizza Hut restau-
rant chain got started when two brothers bor-rowed $600 from their mom.
• You might be sur-prised to learn that, just as there is a market for used cars, there is a market for used roller coasters. With the sky-rocketing costs of con-struction, it can be cheaper to disassemble, move and reassemble a
coaster than to build one from scratch.
• In the early 1900s, if you called someone a "geek" it didn't mean that person was nerdy. A geek back then was a carnival wild man.
• Iconic songstress Madonna once worked as a coat-check girl at the Russian Tea Room.
• If you weren't a fan of math in elementary school, it might comfort you to know that stu-dents have been strug-gling longer than you probably realize. It was way back in 1900 B.C., in early Mesopotamia, that the � rst known multipli-cat ion tables were created.
• If all the salt in the world's oceans were removed and spread out, it would cover all the world's land in a layer 40 feet deep.
• Researchers using standard stat ist ical methods have deter-mined that it takes an average of 142 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
• Those who study such things say that half the residents of Spain have never read a book.
