Regis PhilbinThe 80-year-old television personality hosts his � nal episode of Live! With Regis and Kelly on Nov. 18 (check local listings). Relive his most memo-rable moments on the show at Parade.com/regis.

Is there any other job you could have seen yourself

doing? I’m addicted to the stock market. It’s such a thrill, like a form of gambling, but I’m probably not smart enough to really get involved.What do you consider your greatest accomplish-

ment? Racking up nearly 17,000 hours of airtime [he holds the Guinness World Record], and this show. Sooner or later people get tired of you, but I’ve been here for nearly 29 years. I’m very proud of it.How did you and David Letterman become pals? One of his producers told me that Dave liked me and invited me to do something on his show. I would run down the aisle

throwing out candy to the audience. Then one night I sat down to talk with Dave, and it turned out to

be quite funny. I’ve just written a book about the 30 people who infl uenced me most [How I Got This Way, available Nov. 15], and he’s one of them.

Is there a guest you wanted for

Live! but never had on? Barbra Streisand. I’ve met her, and she’s a lot of fun. She used to love Who Wants to Be a

Millionaire. But I wasn’t going to ask her to come on the show. I couldn’t do it.

Q: I loved Freida Pinto

in Slumdog Millionaire.

Does she still call India

home? —Anonymous

A: “I go back when I can to visit family, but I don’t know where I’m based any-more!” laments Pinto, 27,

citing her hectic work and travel schedule. “Hopping on a plane every other day to another time zone has been an adjust-ment,” says the actress, who currently stars in the epic adventure Immortals. “It can take a toll on your health. But I feel blessed to work in a colorful profession.”

Q: What happened to

Kal Penn on House?

His character’s suicide

seemed so sudden.

—Larry Lucano, Hudson, Fla.

A: After working for the Obama campaign, the actor, 34, left House for a two-year gig as an associate director of the White House’s Offi ce of Public Engagement. “It was a bummer when they told me I’d be killed off [on the show],” Penn admits. Since returning to acting, he’s become the spokesman for the video game Rayman Origins, and he stars in A

Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, in theaters now.

Q: What has Hayden

Panettiere been up

—Sian-Pierre Regis,

New York City

A: Panettiere, 22, helped scare

up box offi ce in Scream 4 and played Amanda Knox in a TV movie this year. Offscreen, she’s active in whale conservation, and after she supported D.C.’s bid for statehood, the

Q: Is there another instru-

ment Yo-Yo Ma would

—G. Martin, New York City

A: “I play the piano a little bit, but badly,” laughs the legendary cellist, 56, who continues to expand his musical repertoire. He’s part of the ensemble on the cross-genre album The Goat Rodeo Ses-sions, and he recently picked up a new hobby: the accordion. “My wife gave me one for my birthday, and I’ve always been a fan,” he says. “It’s a hard instrument, so I have to get some lessons!”

LIVER

DIGESTIVE

TRACT

Having trouble paying for your Merck medicine?Merck may be able to help. www.merck.com/merckhelps

Statins, a good option,

work mainly with

the liver.

ZETIA works in

the digestive tract,

as do some other

cholesterol-lowering

medicines.

Cholesterol from

food is absorbed

when it enters the

digestive tract.

ZETIA is unique

in the way it helps

block the absorption

of cholesterol that

comes from food.

Unlike some statins,

ZETIA has not been

shown to prevent

heart disease

or heart attacks.

Ask your doctor if adding ZETIA

is right for you.

If you diet and take a statin, ZETIA can help lower

LDL (bad) cholesterol even more.

A healthy diet and exercise are important, but sometimes they’re

not enough to get your cholesterol where it needs to be. If you’re

also taking a statin, ZETIA can help lower your LDL (bad)

cholesterol even further. In a clinical study, people who added

ZETIA to their statin medication reduced their bad cholesterol on

average by an additional 25% compared with 4% in people who added

a placebo (a pill with no medication). Individual results vary.

Important Risk Information About ZETIA: ZETIA is a

prescription medicine and should not be taken by people who are

allergic to any of its ingredients. ZETIA can be taken alone or with

a statin. Statins should not be taken by women who are nursing or

pregnant or who may become pregnant, or by anyone with liver

problems. If you have ever had liver problems or are pregnant or

nursing, your doctor will decide if ZETIA alone is right for you. Your

doctor may do blood tests to check your liver before you start

taking ZETIA with a statin and during treatment.

Unexplained muscle pain or weakness could be a sign of a rare but

serious side effect and should be reported to your doctor right away.

In clinical studies, patients reported few side effects while taking

ZETIA. These included diarrhea, joint pains, and tiredness.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects

of prescription drugs to the FDA.

Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Please read the Patient Information

about ZETIA on the adjacent page.

7-MINUTE SOLUTION

TAKE A MEMORABLE

HOLIDAY PHOTO

Jennifer Chaney, photo consultant for MyPublisher.com, on shooting a family

portrait you’ll be proud to post

1 Pick the right light. Early mornings and late after-

noons are the most fl attering times of day. If you must shoot inside, avoid the fl ash; it’s harsh and causes shadows. Instead, pose by a large window or glass door.

2 Avoid busy backgrounds.

Outside, fi nd an open park without buildings or jungle gyms. Indoors, clear away clut-ter and make your family the focal point. For a traditional look, try an outdoor mall decorated for the holidays, or a tree farm.

3Coordinate your outfi ts.

Go with a uniform look, whether casual or dressy, and choose colors that complement each other. Style tip: Skip the traditional green and red and opt for blues, grays, golds, and cranberry. Matching your scarves, tights, or shoes helps, too. And pay attention to fi t— neither too snug nor too baggy.

4 Don’t strike a pose. Rather than telling kids to stand

still and say cheese, try playing games, singing, even dancing. The goal is to get them to laugh, which will look more natural.

ZETIA® (EZETIMIBE) TABLETS

PATIENT INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA (zet -e-a)Generic name: ezetimibe (e-zet -e-mıb)

Read this information carefully before you start taking ZETIA and each time you get more ZETIA. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. If you have any questions about ZETIA, ask your doctor. Only your doctor can determine if ZETIA is right for you.

WHAT IS ZETIA?

ZETIA is a medicine used to lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood. ZETIA is for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet and exercise alone. It can be used by itself or with other medicines to treat high cholesterol. You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.

ZETIA works to reduce the amount of cholesterol your body absorbs. ZETIA does not help you lose weight. ZETIA has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks.

For more information about cholesterol, see the “What should I know about high cholesterol?” section that follows.

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE ZETIA?

�� ingredient in ZETIA, or to the inactive ingredients. For a list of inactive ingredients, see the “Inactive ingredients” section that follows.

�� cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins.

�� If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not take ZETIA while taking a statin.

�� effective method of birth control to prevent pregnancy while using ZETIA added to statin therapy.

ZETIA has not been studied in children under age 10.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY DOCTOR BEFORE AND WHILE TAKING ZETIA?

Tell your doctor about any prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking or plan to take, including natural or herbal remedies.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including allergies.

Tell your doctor if you:

��

�� are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

�� baby through your milk. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

�� experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

HOW SHOULD I TAKE ZETIA?

�� remember to take your dose if you do it at the same time every day, such as with breakfast, dinner, or at bedtime. If you also take another medicine to reduce your cholesterol, ask your doctor if you can take them at the same time.

�� However, do not take more than one dose of ZETIA a day.

�� ZETIA. Ask your doctor if you need diet information.

�� important that you keep taking ZETIA even if you do not feel sick.

See your doctor regularly to check your cholesterol level and to check for side effects. Your doctor may do blood tests to check your liver before you start taking ZETIA with a statin and during treatment.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF ZETIA?

In clinical studies patients reported few side effects while taking ZETIA. These included diarrhea, joint pains, and feeling tired.

Patients have experienced severe muscle problems while taking ZETIA, usually when ZETIA was added to a statin drug. If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking ZETIA, contact your doctor immediately. You need to do this promptly, because on rare occasions, these muscle problems can be serious, with muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage.

Additionally, the following side effects have been reported in general use: allergic reactions (which may require treatment right away) including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing, rash, and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with target-shaped lesions; joint pain; muscle aches; alterations in some laboratory blood tests; liver problems; stomach pain; inflammation of the pancreas; nausea; dizziness; tingling sensation; depression; headache; gallstones; inflammation of the gallbladder.

Tell your doctor if you are having these or any other medical problems while on ZETIA. For a complete list of side effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL?

�� cholesterol is made up of LDL and HDL cholesterol.

LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the wall of your arteries and form plaque. Over time, plaque build-up can cause a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. High LDL cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease and one of the causes for stroke.

HDL cholesterol is called “good” cholesterol because it keeps the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries.

Triglycerides also are fats found in your blood.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA

Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use ZETIA for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give ZETIA to other people, even if they have the same condition you have. It may harm them.

This summarizes the most important information about ZETIA. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about ZETIA that is written for health professionals.

“I don’t tend to have big birthday celebrations, so

even though I was turning 50 [on Nov. 14, 2004], I thought I’d just have a casual dinner with family and go to bed early. But on the way to the restaurant, the car de-toured to the British Embassy, where I was stunned to see people from every stage of my life. Then I had this horrible thought—‘I’m underdressed!’ They were all in gowns and tuxedos, and I had on black pants and a turtleneck.

“But they whisked me upstairs and brought in this red satin gown that Oscar de la Renta had made for me. I thought, ‘I’m really going to be like Cinderella’—well, without the glass slippers.

“President Bush gave the toast; he used the word friend, which meant a lot. And Van Cliburn played ‘Happy Birthday.’

“It’s hard to keep your center in Washington, and I was about to go into a major new role—secretary of state—so it was wonderful having all of that love and support rush at me.”

CHERRY PIE We can thank Michigan for this tangy dessert: The state grows 75 per-cent of the nation’s tart cherries. Traverse City, which holds an annual National Cherry Festival, is billed as the cherry capital of the world. The average tree yields 7,000 cherries per year, enough for 28 pies.

KEY LIME PIE

Key limes may no longer be the, uh, key to this treat, but condensed milk remains so. Because the Florida Keys had no refrigeration until the Overseas Highway opened in 1938, bakers had to use canned milk, which became an essential element of Florida’s state pie.

PUMPKIN PIE Since its debut in the mid-1600s, pumpkin has become the second most popular pie fi lling in America (after apple), owing to its place on the Thanksgiving table. Illinois is the largest pumpkin producer—and processor.

CHOCOLATE

HAZELNUT PIE Farmers in the Northwest found that the hearty hazelnut mixed well with other ingredients, like chocolate or maple. Oregon grows 99 per-cent of commercial hazelnuts in the U.S.; it’s the state nut.

MACADAMIA NUT PIE This confection is “practically a religion” in Hawaii, says Michael Stern of Roadfood.com. Mac pies have been around for more than 100 years and have a slew of variations. (Layering shredded coconut in the pie crust is one twist.)

PECAN PIE Though this pie is popular in such states as Alabama and Georgia, the Oklahoma Panhandle is so nuts about it that it’s been named the dessert in the “offi cial state meal” (topping off the chicken fried steak, grits, and corn bread).

HOOSIER PIE An early mention of this sugar cream pie dates from 1816, the year Indiana gained statehood. It’s also known as “desperation pie,” since it can be baked with ingredients found on any farm.

APPLE PIE

Pre-Revolutionary versions featured unsweetened fruit in an inedible crust. Now, America’s favorite (and Vermont’s state) pie is made from hundreds of apple varieties. The best ones for bakers are the Mutsu, Braeburn, Honey Crisp, and (perhaps tops) Northern Spy.

SWEET POTATO PIE In 1936, George Washington Carver tried to trace the origin of the sweet potato but failed to fi nd an answer. But he did list all known uses of the crop, including his own pie recipes. North Carolina is the largest U.S. sweet potato producer.

OLALLIEBERRY PIE The “olallie” (a young-berry-loganberry cross) was developed at Oregon State University in 1949; not long after, it was put in a pie. This red, knobby fruit, grown on the California coast, delivers a not-too-tart, not-too-sweet fl avor.

MISSISSIPPI MUD PIE It’s believed this one came about after World War II because it was made from ingredients—chocolate, butter, sugar, and other pantry staples—available at most local groceries. And that name? The chocolate crust reminded some of the muddy banks of the mighty Mississippi.

DERBY-PIE

This chocolate-and-walnut treat is traditionally eaten around the time of the Kentucky Derby. It was concocted about 50 years ago by the manager of a Kentucky inn (its name has since been trademarked).

meat—early Tupperware, as it were. Wealthy Romans packed their pies with oysters and other mollusks, and even blood-sucking lampreys. The fi rst “published” recipe came from the Roman Cato the Censor, for a goat cheese and honey pie.

As the Roman Empire spread north through Europe, so, too, did pie’s reach and popularity. More often than not, early pies were fi lled with meat. In the medieval royal courts of England and France, where banquets were run like cir-cuses, royal chefs would place live animals into gargantuan pies to “wow” jaded guests.

According to the American Pie Council, fruit pies or tarts (“pasties”) were probably fi rst cooked up in the 1500s, when English pastries brimmed with pears, quinces, and apples. English lore credits Queen Eliza-beth I with making the fi rst cherry pie. Pie shells

butch cassidy was known for his daring bank heists, but as a kid, he was collared for stealing a pair of jeans and a slice of pie. He was acquitted, of course. What Amer-ican jury could convict someone for stealing pie?

We have loved pie longer than we have loved baseball. Even before we had a fl ag, we had pie. And though Americans would like to take credit for this touchstone dessert, espe-cially around Thanksgiving, the truth is that pie existed long before the fi rst Pilgrim set a buckled shoe on Plymouth Rock.

Friends, Romans, Pie Makers …

Every culture has made its mark on pie. As far back as 1300 b.c., Egyptian bakers were experimenting with

a primitive pie dough. The Greeks were the fi rst to mix fl our and water into a thick paste that could wrap (and preserve)

contest. And every country store sold “homemade” pie. A Ver-mont housewife, itemizing her baking for the year 1877, counted 421 pies. In Pennsylvania Dutch country, where farmers ate pie three times a day, a young man would often present an elabo-rately carved rolling pin as an engagement gift to his future wife.

Regarding a University of Indianapolis debate over which greater served mankind, pie or ice cream, a 1902 New York Times editorial wrote:

“Pie is the American synonym of prosperity, and its varying contents the calendar of the changing seasons. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can ever be permanently vanquished. It is a signifi cant historical fact that England’s glory was greatest in the days when her gallant sons ate pie.”

It’s unclear who coined the expression “as American as apple pie.” But the phrase has undoubtedly been with us awhile. Some say it was growers trying to push apple consumption during Prohibition, when hard cider was banned. One of the earliest recorded instances is attributed to an opera singer in Chicago, one Alice Gentle, who in 1921 solicited money from

were called “coffyns” because they were considered baking vessels or “boxes,” and pies were still all about the fi lling. Even aboard the Mayfl ower, one of the dishes of choice was a baked meat “pie at sea.”

Pilgrims’ Progress

When the Pilgrims landed, they made use of the exotic ingredients they discovered around

them. Since the sweet apples and other fruit found in England had not yet made it across the Atlantic, settlers turned to their Native American neighbors, who recom-mended a few tasty berries, among other suggestions.

Resourceful colonial women heeded their advice. They added cranberries, eggs, and molasses to the belly-fi lling pies they served with every meal. When they ran out of fresh fruit, they substituted dried fruit.

By the time of the Revolutionary War, cooks were using butter, sugar, and spices in their pastries, forever changing the dessert landscape in America. As sugar production grew, so did the popularity of sweet treats like lemon meringue pie.

Fast Food on the Frontier

As settlers headed west, they (like the early colonists) had to make do with the available

resources. And so their pies were fi lled with local crops like huckleberries and pecans, or in the case of biscuit dough “pie” —the fast food of the wagon trail—possum and prairie oysters (i.e., bison testicles). The fl ood of immigrant families settling on the Great Plains after the land rush quickly learned to make American “prairie pies”—the original hyper-local pies, bulging with rhu-barb, mulberries, and peaches. When fruit was scarce, the settlers turned to “vinegar pie”—a mix of vinegar, butter, sugar, eggs, and water. Down south, sweet potato pie was inspired, it is said, by the nourishing African yams that were brought along to feed the slaves on cargo ships bound for the New World. The pie safe—a wooden cabinet with punched tin door panels to keep air in and insects out—became the Weber Grill of its day, a fi xture on back porches across the country.

As American as ...

By the turn of the 20th century, pie had become the undisputed symbol of American

plenty and national pride. Women were judged by the quality of their pie crust. Every county fair had a pie

a millionaire to fund an Ameri-can opera. The San Antonio Light reported Gentle saying that an American opera would be “as American as apple pie, wheat cakes, corn on the cob, one-night stands and mail-order houses.” Perhaps not surpris-ingly, only the apple pie part of the quote stuck. Later, during World War II, when GIs were asked what they were fighting for, the stock answer they always gave was “Mom and apple pie.”

Perfect Crust

(From a Box!)

Postwar, the pie landscape changed again, and dramatically, with the introduc-tion of Pillsbury Pie Crust Mix. As American families moved into the suburbs and embraced the era of convenience in the kitchen, food companies joined the party, coming up with tag-lines like “For Quicker, Better Pies” and “You and Ann Pills-bury Can Make a Great Team.”

Advertisers continued to cap-italize on apple pie’s patriotic aura in the ’70s when the jingle “Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet” hit the air-waves. By then, supermarket freezers were fi lled with frozen crusts. With hectic work sched-ules and

ARICEPT® ODT (Air-eh-sept oh-dee-tee)(donepezil hydrochloride) orally disintegrating tablets• ODT Tablets: 5 mg and 10 mg

Read the Patient Information that comes with ARICEPT before the patient starts taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with the doctor about Alzheimer’s disease or treatment for it. If you have questions, ask the doctor or pharmacist.

What is ARICEPT?ARICEPT comes as ARICEPT film-coated tablets in dosage strengths of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 23 mg, and as ARICEPT Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODT; 5 mg and 10 mg). Except where indicated, all the information about ARICEPT in this leaflet also applies to ARICEPT ODT.

ARICEPT is a prescription medicine to treat mild, moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease. ARICEPT can help with mental function and with doing daily tasks. ARICEPT does not work the same in all people. Some people may: • Seem much better • Get better in small ways or stay the same • Get worse over time but slower than expected • Not change and then get worse as expected

ARICEPT does not cure Alzheimer’s disease. All patients with Alzheimer’s disease get worse over time, even if they take ARICEPT.

ARICEPT has not been approved as a treatment for any medical condition in children.

Who should not take ARICEPT?The patient should not take ARICEPT if allergic to any of the ingredients in ARICEPT or to medicines that contain piperidines. Ask the patient’s doctor if you are not sure. See the end of this leaflet for a list of ingredients in ARICEPT.

What should I tell the doctor before the patient takes ARICEPT?Tell the doctor about all the patient’s present or past health problems. Include:

Tell the doctor about all the medicines the patient takes, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. ARICEPT and other medicines may affect each other.

Be particularly sure to tell the doctor if the patient takes aspirin or medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There are many NSAID medicines, both prescription and non-prescription. Ask the doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if any of the patient’s medicines are NSAIDs. Taking NSAIDs and ARICEPT together may make the patient more likely to get stomach ulcers.

ARICEPT taken with certain medicines used for anesthesia may cause side effects. Tell the responsible doctor or dentist that the patient takes ARICEPT before the patient has: • surgery • medical procedures • dental surgery or procedures.

Know the medicines that the patient takes. Keep a list of all the patient’s medicines. Show it to the doctor or pharmacist before the patient starts a new medicine.

How should the patient take ARICEPT? • Give ARICEPT exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop ARICEPT or change

the dose yourself. Talk with the doctor first. • Give ARICEPT one time each day. ARICEPT can be taken with or without food. • ARICEPT 23 mg tablets should be swallowed whole without the tablets being split,

crushed or chewed.

• ARICEPT ODT melts on the tongue. The patient should drink some water after the tablet melts.

• If you miss giving the patient a dose of ARICEPT, just wait. Give only the next dose at the usual time. Do not give 2 doses at the same time.

• If ARICEPT is missed for 7 days or more, talk with the doctor before starting again. • If the patient takes too much ARICEPT at one time, call the doctor or poison

control center, or go to the emergency room right away.

What are the possible side effects of ARICEPT?ARICEPT may cause the following serious side effects: • slow heartbeat and fainting. This happens more often in people with heart

problems. Call the doctor right away if the patient faints while taking ARICEPT. • more stomach acid. This raises the chance of ulcers and bleeding, especially when

taking ARICEPT 23 mg. The risk is higher for patients who had ulcers, or take aspirin or other NSAIDs.

• worsening of lung problems in people with asthma or other lung disease. • seizures. • difficulty passing urine.

Call the doctor right away if the patient has:

not enough time in the day, a generation of moth-ers grew up learning how to make “50-50” pies (frozen crust with homemade fi lling), a shift that has endured ever since.

Today, pie is as iconic as ever, and though there are plenty of shortcuts, baking a homemade pie is still a feat to be proud of. That’s why so many virgin bakers dance around their fi rst pie dough. Pie sym-bolizes everything we value: ingenuity, resilience, and a mother’s love. Who wants to fail at those?

We Still Love It

And besides, pie makes people happy. Just saying it aloud draws a smile as wide

as a barn door. There’s something profoundly familiar about pie. It was there in the beginning and it has stuck with us, evolving and adapting at every step of our nation’s journey.

Five years ago, I was asked to run the small farmers’ market in my hometown on the Hudson River, just north of New York City. The fi rst thing I did was organize an apple pie contest. The market committee was skeptical. Would busy people fi nd time to bake pie during soccer season?

To our surprise, 27 pies rolled in: lattice pies, cast-iron skillet pies, apple crumb pies. The bakers ranged in age from 4 to 90, and each had written a story to go with their entry, per the contest rules.

Lori Walsh, a work-ing mother of three, took first place. Her classic, rustic apple pie with a tawny top crust both looked and tasted the part.

On the back of her butter-stained recipe card she’d scribbled:

“After my grandmother died, my sister and I tried to take on her mantle … tried to achieve an apple pie that would bring us back to Grandma and the old family gatherings—people laughing and telling stories and always asking for seconds. …”

Pie will always take us home again.

When legendary Tennessee wom-en’s basketball coach Pat Summitt announced in August that she’d been diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer’s at age 59, it gave many middle-aged Ameri-cans pause. After all, who doesn’t occasionally lose their car keys or forget a dentist’s appointment?

And younger-onset is particularly devastating. “Many people with that condition are still in the midst of their careers, and they might be caring for children and older relatives,” says Monica Moreno, director of early-stage initiatives at the Alzheimer’s Association. The disease can also take longer to diag-nose in midlife because other health issues that can cause similar symp-toms (such as thyroid disease, vita-min B-12 defi ciency, or depression) must be ruled out fi rst.

We all experience “senior mo-ments” as we get older, but experts say there are some important dif-ferences between benign memory lapses—momentarily forgetting a person’s name, say—and the fi rst warning signs of Alzheimer’s.

■ What’s normal: Misplacing your car keys or having a meeting slip your mind.

the household fi nances. Meg Curtis, of Hillsborough, N.H., knew something was gravely wrong in April 2006 when her 59-year-old husband, Skip, announced that the home they’d lived in for a decade was facing foreclosure. Once meticulous about bookkeeping, he hadn’t paid the bills in months and, confused, threw away the past-due notices that followed.

■ What’s normal: Sometimes having trouble summoning the right word.■ What’s not: Repeatedly losing the thread of a story. Retired air force chaplain Meredith Thomas was known for his bril-liant, moving sermons and story-telling. So his daughter Deb Thomas was shocked when she sat in on a service while visiting home and found that “it was full of non sequiturs, as if he’d been reading a book and just skipped 75 pages.” Within a year, the 60-year-old Lincoln, Neb., minister was unable to speak.

■ What’s normal: Needing help with a computer program or setting the DVR.■ What’s not: Becoming disori-ented in a system you had once mastered. In 2003, colleagues of 51-year-old Deborah Mayhew were concerned when the veteran court clerk uncharacteristically began making scheduling errors. A longtime marathon runner, Mayhew also started getting lost on runs outside the Roanoke, Va., YMCA, where she’d been training for years. Once, she was locked out of her car and called a friend for help—only to discover that the key was where she always kept it when she went running: tied on her shoestring.

Could It Be Alzheimer’s?

■ What’s not: Failing to remem-ber standing appointments or becoming confused in your fi eld of expertise. Summitt reportedly showed up late to regularly sched-uled practices and sometimes drew a blank on what play to call in the heat of a game—things she’d never done before.

■ What’s normal: Occasionally forgetting to pay a bill on time. ■ What’s not: Losing control of

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt’s diagnosis made a lot of folks wonder whether

they could have the disease, too. Here’s how to distinguish the typical middle-aged brain

from one in the early stages of dementia. By Beth Macy

“Many [younger-onset su� erers]

Alzheimer’s Association



The Next StepWhat you should do if you suspect Alzheimer’s disease

If you or a loved one is experi-encing symptoms of dementia—like troubling memory loss, confusion, or diffi culty com-pleting routine tasks—see your physician or a memory-care specialist, such as a geri-atrician, a neuropsychologist, a neurologist, or a geriatrics-trained psychiatrist.

“It’s important to get a prompt diagnosis, because the earlier you start treatment, the more effective it can be,” says Robert Stern, director of

Boston University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center Clinical Core. In fact, researchers are work-ing on tests to diagnose Alz heimer’s before symptoms even appear and are trying to develop medications that could slow the disease’s progression—or even stop it in its tracks—rather than tempo-rarily treating the symptoms, as current drugs do. According to Stern, the tests could be available within fi ve years and the drugs within three, but pa-tients can gain access to poten-tial cutting- edge treatments now—and aid researchers—by participating in clinical trials. For a list of trials near you, go to alz.org/trialmatch.

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

Your reply to the question

about the 25,000-mile band

around the earth was so

counterintuitive that I

thought you had lost your

edge. Then I did the math

and learned that you were

correct. Yet the answer still

seems wrong to me. My

question: Why do we cling to

beliefs even after seeing

facts that contradict them?

—Steve Morris, Lincoln, Neb.

Because people get freaked out by the notion of being wrong about anything. It makes them feel insecure. If you can be wrong about this or that, what about all the other stuff you think you know? And the more important the subject, the more unnerving the emo-tion. It’s not too scary to be incorrect about a math concept, but how about the car you bought? Or the doctor you chose?

Your question goes to the heart of much unsound thinking. After we leave school, we tend to head down one of two roads: (1) We close our minds to new or different informa-tion while becoming more and more sure of ourselves; or (2) we watch, listen, and learn as we get older. The second road has way more bumps and curves, but it’s also the path to wisdom.

1Prediabetes

doesn’t always

lead to full-blown

diabetes. Also known as impaired glucose tolerance, prediabetes simply means that the amount of glucose—that is, sugar—in your blood is higher than it should be but not high enough to qualify as type 2 diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Associa-tion, making three lifestyle changes—losing weight, watching your diet, and exercising—can increase your

blood sugar as much as a doughnut. The more processed and refined the food, the more quickly the conversion occurs.

3Exercise is just

as crucial as

diet. Here’s where insulin comes in: This hormone helps transport glucose from your blood into your body’s cells, which burn the sugar for energy. When you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, either your body doesn’t produce enough insulin or your cells don’t use it efficiently; as a result, glucose builds up in the blood. When you exercise and lose weight, your body is better able to employ its supply of insulin (or decrease “insulin resistance”), making it easier to control blood sugar levels.

PARADE Guitar Slinger is the fi rst

album you recorded in your

home studio, in Nashville. What

was that like?

I got to take my time and do most of it barefoot. I just found this bust of Elvis in storage, and I’m going to put it front and center so he can oversee the recording process from now on. I really like the guy, but I love the humor of it, too. I’ve also got a velvet painting of Elvis hanging in the garage.

Your oldest child, Jenny, got

married last year. What advice

did you give her?

If you can spend your life not wor-rying about who’s right, you’ll go a long way. You don’t always have to be right—it doesn’t really matter.

it’s right across the street from the YMCA, whereI work out with mytrainer a few days a week. Then I go and eat and

hope I broke even.

What made you start

watching your weight?

I came to the realization that you don’t see a lot of really old heavy people. So my goal is to be a skinny old man. I’m down about 25 pounds this year.

Do you have a favorite

diet breaker?

I love bad food, andpizza is about as good as it gets. It has to have meat on it; I think pizza with vegetables is kind of an oxymoron.

What makes you angry?

I really fi re on somebody if they treat my friends wrong. I can have a pretty short fuse. But I’m hardest on myself—if I don’t get to the level [I’m capable of ].

Are you still playing a lot of golf?

I’m crazy about it and shoot around par most of the time. It’s a game you can never get perfectly right—you could shoot the best round in your life and still go, “Well, if I’d made that putt, and that one, I’d have been even lower.”

If you had to choose: musician

or pro golfer?

I had aspirations of being good enough to play golf profession-ally, but I’d rather be a musician. They get better-looking girls.

You and Amy have been married

more than 11 years. How do you

keep your love story going?

The bottom line is that we’re still absolutely nuts about each other. We were from the fi rst time we met. It was just freakish—like nothing I’d ever seen or felt. It’s amazing how beautiful life canbe when someone’s kind to you.

What’s your Sunday routine like?

I absolutely love breakfast and go to the same place, Noshville, every day. It gets busy on the weekends, so I wind up sittingat the counter. Amy’s not asbig a breakfast eater as I am, so sometimes Corinna [the couple’s 10-year-old daughter] goes with me. I know all the servers, and

For vince gill,

being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007 offered a

challenge more than a segue into retirement. “It made me want to earn it even more,” says the 54-year-old singer-songwriter, who recently released his first new album in fi ve years, Guitar Slinger. “Resting on your laurels is point-less. You might as well go jump in the big pine box.” Mary Margaretcaught up with Gill in the midst of touring—“a rough stretch,” he says, that will keep him apart from wife Amy Grant for 70 nights. “But we’re both working hard, and we talk two or three times a day.”
