MICHAELWEATHERLYNot many actors have the kind of job security that Weatherly, 46, has found as Special
Agent Anthony DiNozzo on the long-running CBS hit drama NCIS.
You’re in your 12th year as Tony.
What do you still like about your
character? “He feels more fully realized and I understand him more, but the bad part is, what’s next for a guy like that?”
With NCIS the No. 1 drama in
the world, can you lead a normal
life? “Sometimes getting through an airport takes a couple of minutes
longer, but that’s a wonderful thing. It’s just a great affirmation of all the
hard work that we do.”
You played Robert Wagner in The Mystery of Natalie Wood TV movie in
2004, and now he plays your dad on
NCIS. What’s that like? “Since his coming
to the show, I’ve learned so much about not just television and the professional side, but also how to be a better man.”
Who inspires you? “Recently, I have just been absolutely absorbed in Sting. I’ve seen him in concert a few times recently, and the energy and the happiness he brings into the world is an extraordinary thing.”
You have a 19-year-old and also two
little ones. Is fatherhood easier the
second time around? “It’s a lot easier the second time around for a multitude of reasons. I have some wisdom, some age on me. I have a steady gig, so that financial security makes a big difference and maybe, most importantly, having a partner, because I was separated and divorced very early in my first child’s life.”

WALTER SCOTT’S
Weatherly with NCIS co-star Emily Wickersham
Here are some fun facts about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association event that honors the year’s top achievements in movies and TV.
1. The youngest Golden Globe winner ever is Ricky Schroder, who was 9 when he won
Best New Star for The Champ (1980); the oldest is Jessica Tandy, at
80, for Best Actress in Driving
Miss Daisy (1990).
Last year’s Golden Globe Awards was a rating’s bonanza, with the highest viewership in 10 years. Tonight’s telecast on NBC hopes to recapture that lightning in a bottle—and why not?!—with returning hosts Amy
Poehler and Tina Fey.
Actress Lorraine Toussaint is a
favorite of mine. I was wondering if the woman she plays in the movie Selma is still alive, and if she had a
chance to meet her.—Mekeesha M., Raleigh, N.C.
A: Amelia Boynton Robinson is alive and well at 103 years old, and Toussaint did indeed meet her, as well as several other real-life civil rights leaders portrayed in the film. The star of the ABC series Forever is joined in the new movie, about Martin Luther King’s historic Alabama marches of the 1960s, by David Oyelowo, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Sheen and Cuba Gooding Jr.
5 Fun Facts About the Golden Globes2. Two former Miss Golden Globes (traditionally celebrities’
daughters, who bring out trophies during the show), Linda Evans and Melanie Griffith,
later went on to take home awards themselves: Evans in 1982 for Dynasty, and Griffith in 1989 for Working Girl.
3. Meryl
Streep holds
the record for the most individual GG acting wins, with a total of eight.
4. When Jack Nicholson was honored with the Cecil
B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award in
1999, he mooned the audience.
5. The only cast members of TV’s Friends to win
Golden Globes: Jennifer Aniston
and Matt LeBlanc.

ATTA ‘BOY’Boyhood, director Richard Link-later’s sprawling 2014 fictional opus that tracks 12 years in the life of a young man (and took as many “real-time” years to film), has just been released on Blu-ray and DVD. Don’t be sur-prised if the movie pops up in Oscar nominations this week. Did you know its original title, 12 Years,was changed to avoid confusion with 2013’s 12 Year A Slave?

WISDOM OF THE AGESA recent survey of nearly 70 people who’ve lived a century or longer revealed some interesting opinions and insights on love, life and family. » A woman should never
admit she’s wrong.
» Never let a man
know he’s right.
» Today’s youth “seem smarter and
sharper than when I was young.”
» The key to a long life is to “eat
dark chocolate and give lots of
hugs.”
» Today’s adults will likely regret
“spending their money as fast as
they get it.”

If you resolved to grow your retirement fund in 2015, you’re in luck: New rules and options will make it
easier to sock away more sav-ings. Annual contribution lim-its for those with w o r k p l a c e 401(k)s have increased to $18,000 (up $500) for people un-der 50, and to $24,000 for people 50 and older, a $1,000 bump. (Individual Retirement Ac-count, or IRA, limits remain at $5,500 for people under 50, and $6,500 for people 50 plus.)
If you have no plan, the new government-sponsored myRA is worth a look. The fund, ex-pressly designed to kick-start a retirement portfolio, has the same contribution limits as an IRA, with no minimums and no fees. And your money, invest-ed directly with the Treasury, is guaranteed to never lose value. The catch? Your return will be modest, and your bal-ance can only grow to $15,000, at which point you must trans-fer it to another retirement ac-count. (Check myra.treasury.gov for more info.)
Note: IRAs and 401(k)s come in two flavors—tradi-tional and Roth. Traditional products get you a tax deduc-tion on deposits, but with-drawals will be taxed as in-come. Roth IRAs, 401(k)s or myRAs get you no immediate deduction, but withdrawals are tax free.

The hottest well-being trend rightnow isn’t a hardcore workout or a fad diet. It’s a gentle, ancient practice that millions say is the antidote to the 21st-century
stress that affects everything from job perfor-mance and sleep to your weight.
We’re talking about meditation, and it has cheerleaders from all walks of life—entertain-ers, businesspeople, athletes, even government legislators. Oprah Winfrey, a longtime medi-tator, has teamed up with Deepak Chopra to offer a series of 21-day online meditation “challenges” that have drawn more than 3 mil-lion participants so far. Hip-hop tycoon Russell Simmons’ new book, Success �rough Stillness: Meditation Made Simple (Gotham), aims to demystify meditation for the masses. He even inspired comedian/talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to take it up.
In the business world, Huffington Post Edi-tor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington meditates daily, calling it the “third metric” in success, after money and power. And meditation pro-grams are used to help at-risk schoolchildren thrive in the classroom, and prison inmates cope with the stress of incarceration.
Clearly, meditation is having a moment. And if you’re distracted while reading this —texting, checking email, thinking about what to have for dinner—it could help you, too.
“The goal of mindfulness is to make you more focused and aware, so your mind and body can be in the same place at the same time,” says U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio),
who credits mindfulness for helping him pre-vent burnout. “I compare it to what athletes experience when they’re totally in the zone.”
Ryan believes in mindfulness so strongly that he holds weekly meditation sessions on Capitol Hill. “Stress is bipartisan,” he says. “Mindfulness cuts through current political divides—it’s based on self-care, and prevent-ing illness, and increasing overall well-being and can save healthcare dollars and promote individual responsibility.” Ryan’s goal is “in-fusing mindfulness into the different institu-tions in our country.”
While meditation has roots in Buddhism, many people today practice a non-religious form of mindfulness that requires nothing more than sitting quietly and focusing on your breath. When your mind wanders—and it will—just refocus on your breathing.
“It really is that simple,” says Ryan, who has written A Mindful Nation: How a Simple Practice Can Help Us Reduce Stress, Improve Performance and Recapture the American Spirit (Hay House). “�anks to mindfulness, I’m calmer, more focused, and nicer to people around me. I believe this is something that can help many Americans who are strug-gling right now.”
BODY-BUILDING FOR YOUR BRAINIt’s hard to believe something so easy can
be so powerful. “Mindfulness looks like you aren’t doing anything, but when we watch the brain in these studies, we see different parts lighting up and activating,” says
EVERYBODY’S DOING ITWho can forget The Beatles, resplendent in hippie garb, meditat-ing with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? Today, meditation is more main-stream, as calm-seekers from the boardroom to the playing field and the red carpet look for a way to relax, focus and be present.
LENA DUNHAM The creator and star of the HBO series Girls has been meditating since age 9 to help her cope with obsessive-compulsive disorder. “It has made it possible for me to weather certain challenges and storms and public moments that I didn’t ever imagine would be in my life,” says Dunham, now 28.

psychologist Elisha Gold-stein, author of Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depres-sion with Mindfulness and Self-Compassion (Atria Books). “You can literally change your brain through this practice.”
In the 1970s, molecular biologist Jon Kabat-Zinn decided to study “Buddhist meditation without the Buddhism.” Kabat-Zinn, now a professor emeritus at the Uni-versity of Massachusetts Medical School, had discovered meditation through a friend, and began to suspect it could improve both mental and physical health.
He developed a program called “Mind-fulness-Based Stress Reduction” (MBSR) and documented how it worked to ease pain, suffering and stress in cancer patients, bone marrow transplant patients and even prison inmates. His findings were so com-pelling that over 250 hospitals around the world now use MBSR to promote patient well-being.
And the evidence keeps growing. In a new Harvard study, brain scans showed that mind-fulness meditation increased gray matter in brain areas associated with learning, memory and compassion, and a decrease in the part of the brain linked to anxiety and stress.
ANXIETY-BUSTING FOR KIDS & TEACHERSMeditation can have huge benefits for
children, too. “We’re always yelling at our kids to pay attention,” says Ryan. “But we never teach them how to pay attention.
�at’s where mindfulness comes in.” �e Holistic Life Foundation, a Balti-
more-based nonprofit, aims to change that with mindfulness programs for at-
risk kids in the city’s poorest elementary schools. A pilot study of their program by researchers at Johns Hopkins and Pennsyl-vania State University found that fourth- and fifth-graders who participated in the 12-week program were better able to handle chronic stress, experienced fewer emotional
outbursts, and had less ongoing anxiety. Mindfulness can be a tool for educa-
tors, too. �e U.S. Department of Educa-tion is now funding a major study on how
mindfulness can help teachers cope with the pressures of overburdened classrooms. “When we’ve piloted these programs in schools, the teachers come back begging us to do more,” says Ryan. “�ey know it works and that they need this so they can be their best selves with our kids.”
ATTENTION-BOOSTING FOR ALL OF USMindfulness is especially handy this time
of year, when New Year’s resolutions typically include pledges to lose weight. “Food is one of the most popular applications for mindfulness because we all have to eat, every day,” says Goldstein. “But for most of us, eating has be-come this mindless activity that we do while we’re working, driving, watching television or looking at our phones. We barely even taste what’s on our plates.”
And that piles on calories. Study partici-pants who ate their lunch in front of a com-puter screen gobbled twice as many cookies an hour later as subjects who ate without
distractions, according to recent research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
But mindfulness can help you reconnect with your body’s cues for hunger and satis-faction. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education & Behavior found that learning mindfulness strategies helped par-ticipants eat more slowly—and eat up to 300 fewer calories a day.
�at’s pretty powerful stuff. Still, some crit-ics of mindfulness are quick to dismiss it as another New Age fad like hot yoga or juice
cleanses. But the proponents of mindfulness say that’s OK. “�e beauty of mindfulness is that you can stop doing it, notice you’ve stopped, and then re-engage at any time,” says Goldstein. “We are continually learning from what did or didn’t work and beginning anew. And that’s mindfulness.”

MINDFULNESS
IT’S AS EASY AS THIS
101Mindfulness is free, it’s porta-ble, and you don’t have to be sitting on a pillow somewhere for an hour with your eyes shut to achieve it, says psychologist Susan Albers, author of Eating Mindfully. “You can do it at the dinner table, you can do it dur-ing a meeting at work, you can do it while driving your car.” Here are four simple ways to get started.
BREATHE MINDFULLYSit in silence, breathing deeply. When your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breath.
HUG MINDFULLYWhen you hug someone, take a few moments to focus on the sensation of the hug. “Don’t let go until you feel both bodies start to relax,” says psycholo-gist Elisha Goldstein, who pre-scribes this meditation for couples he counsels, and does it himself every night with his spouse. “That act of touching will actually align your nervous systems so you feel more con-nected.”
EAT MINDFULLYThis classic mindfulness exer-cise helps you pay more atten-tion to your food so you enjoy it more while you eat less. It’s typically taught with a raisin but can be applied to whatev-er you’re eating. Here goes:

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Mindfulness helped the Seahawks win the Super Bowl last year. Coach Pete Carroll initiated the practice in 2011 to help fight stress and improve performance. “Meditation is as important as lifting weights and being out here on the field to practice,” says offensive tackle Russell Okung.

MINDFULNESS
IT’S AS EASY AS THIS
101Mindfulness is free, it’s porta-ble, and you don’t have to be sitting on a pillow somewhere for an hour with your eyes shut to achieve it, says psychologist Susan Albers, author of Eating Mindfully. “You can do it at the dinner table, you can do it dur-ing a meeting at work, you can do it while driving your car.” Here are four simple ways to get started.
BREATHE MINDFULLYSit in silence, breathing deeply. When your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breath.
HUG MINDFULLYWhen you hug someone, take a few moments to focus on the sensation of the hug. “Don’t let go until you feel both bodies start to relax,” says psycholo-gist Elisha Goldstein, who pre-scribes this meditation for couples he counsels, and does it himself every night with his spouse. “That act of touching will actually align your nervous systems so you feel more con-nected.”
EAT MINDFULLYThis classic mindfulness exer-cise helps you pay more atten-tion to your food so you enjoy it more while you eat less. It’s typically taught with a raisin but can be applied to whatev-er you’re eating. Here goes:

Consciously slow down. Look at the raisin, touch it and smell it. Think about how it started out as a grape, shriveled in the sun, and became the treat you see before you. Then eat it very slowly. Take the time to taste it on all parts of your tongue, and notice how you respond: Do you like it? Does it taste sweet? Does it make you salivate? Chew slowly, feeling the raisin beneath your teeth, and then swallow and notice how you feel.
WALK MINDFULLY
You have to walk somewhere everyday, so
turn it into a moving meditation: Focus on each step, what you s e e , h ow i t f e e l s , yo u r surroundings, the weather and, yes, your breath, too. Don’t worry about your destination. “Walking meditation is not a means to an end; it is an end,” says Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh. “Each step is life; each step is peace and joy.”

16 | JANUARY 11, 2015
In the midst of his grief after my mother died, my 72-year-old father began to ride a motor-cycle again. He hadn’t been on a bike in over 40 years, since his first son—my brother, Chris—was born. But as he traveled rural Carolina roads on two wheels, whisking along at great speeds, carving turns into the asphalt, my father’s veil of sadness began to lift.
ViewsThat’s when he joined the motorcycle club in hisretirement community, Sun City Carolina Lakes, a “gang” of roughly 70 men and women who, like my father, love to ride. They also, like my father, love to eat, hence their motto: “Live to Ride, Ride to Eat.” And so they do. Every Wednesday and Sunday, weather permitting, the posse takes off en masse for a food destination—usually a bar-beque joint or famous diner within a few hours of Indian Land, S.C. They take the most adventur-ous and scenic route, twisting through mountain-
ous topography to a place to share a meal and enjoy each other’s company before returning home.
A hodgepodge of seniors from different backgrounds and different parts of the country make up this audacious gang, all who have become friends in a fashion fueled by a specific passion, one that brings exhilaration and meaning to a time of life often complicated by uncertainty. These are men and women who will certainly not go gentle into that good night.
My father’s friendship with one gang member, a Tennessee gentleman named Gary Crabtree, offered him something particularly valuable. Both men had lost their wives to cancer and they often shared long conversations about the experience. But it
was Gary who first attempted an intimate relationship as a widower, falling for and eventually marrying a woman he had known for many years. Gary’s example inspired my father to be open to new love, and soon he met Arlene McCarthy, a successful, charming and independent Sun City resident.
On one of their first dates, Arlene, who had never been anywhere near a motorcycle, bravely climbed on board my father’s Kawasaki 750, wrapped her arms around his waist and held on for dear life, screaming “Yahoo!” as they rocketed into the distance.
On a Sunday ride last year, as the crew of riders collectively cruised along, my father’s dear friend Gary quietly veered off course and crashed on his side. Doctors and witnesses suspect that Gary had passed before hitting the ground. The gang agreed that leaving this life on your motorcycle, surrounded by friends, as Gary did, was a good way to go.
I don’t know when or how my father will go, but I know, for now, he is happy and vital. He has friends and family and a passion that carried him out of shadows of grieving into the light of life. And in this, his 75th year, my father will keep riding on roads where the sun will shine on his shoulders and the pavement will blur below his feet, his new companion on the back of his bike and the motorcycle gang by his side. Yahoo!!!

Does a filled freezer use more energy, or less?
—G.L., Lindenhurst, N.Y.
Say a freezer is filled (but not so full that air can’t circulate, interfering with its normal operation) with already-frozen food and never opened. Also say an identical unit is empty and never opened. Their energy consumption should be about the same. But in real life, the filled freezer will be opened routinely to remove food (which, by the way, will not always happen to be the easiest and quickest to reach) and replace it with more food to freeze, necessary to keep the unit full. Because opening the door and freezing food is what causes energy consumption to rise, a full freezer should use more energy than one with less food. (Yes, opening the door of a full unit will allow less cold air to escape than opening the door of a lightly loaded one, because less air is present around the greater bulk of frozen food. But this fact would be overshadowed by additional openings and freezing larger amounts of food. Plus, the filled freezer had to work to freeze that large load in the first place.) Regardless, I think any difference would be minor.
More important for savings is the purchase price of the freezer, its efficiency rating and features, the location in which the unit operates, setting its temperature no lower than safety requires, keeping compartments free of ice, and whether the door seals tightly.

Itchy Senior Skin and What You Can Do About It
( + = , 9 ; 0 : , 4 , 5 ;
It’s a fact of life: as we age, our bodies
experience a number of changes. Some of these
are obvious and expected, but others come
as a surprise to many reaching their golden
years. This includes uncomfortable – and often
debilitating – itchy skin experienced by a large
percentage of the senior citizen population.
For people who have not experienced
persistent itchy skin, this description can seem
unbelievable, but for countless American
seniors the problem is a daily fact of life.
“Itching is a common problem as we age. The
skin changes, often becoming thinner, drier and
more susceptible to irritants,” says Vishakha
Gigler, M.D., a dermatologist from Encinitas,
California. “I often see seniors in my practice
who are suffering from itchy skin. Medical con-
ditions and certain medications can also be an
underlying cause.”
Whatever their reason for itchy skin, many
seniors seek relief with over-the-counter
treatments. The most common are topical
creams and ointments that have been available
for decades. Hydrocortisone-based steroidal
products are the most widely known and used,
EXW� PDQ\� SHRSOH� À�QG� WKH\� GR� QRW� SURYLGH�
adequate or long-lasting relief.
According to medical professionals, steroidal
creams can be counterproductive for seniors
suffering from itchy skin. Side effects can be
severe and may include adverse reactions like
thinned skin, allergic reactions and more itch-
ing. Oddly enough, even some topical allergy
medications can result in allergic reactions.
Fortunately, newer products have been
introduced over the last few years that are
proving to be highly effective at relieving itchy
senior skin with few, if any, side effects. One
such product is a soothing non-prescription gel
known as TriCalm®. In a recent survey 97%
of dermatologists were likely to recommend
TriCalm to their patients suffering from itch.*
TriCalm is steroid free, which puts many

it works better to relieve itchy skin, since other
products may take up to 24 hours and require
UHSHDWHG�DSSOLFDWLRQV�WR�JHW�WKH�IXOO�EHQHÀ�W��
A clinical study supports this view: TriCalm
was 5x more effective than hydrocortisone
1% at reducing itch.** TriCalm works
almost immediately, providing rapid relief
from itch, whether due to “senior skin” or
other itch-inducing nuisances like bug bites
and poison ivy.
Since the brand was introduced it has re-
ceived wide recognition, including attention
from several prominent national radio and en-
tertainment personalities. This is due in part to
TriCalm’s effectiveness as an itch reliever and
because of the company’s money back guaran-
tee. TriCalm’s “Itch Free Guarantee” promises
that the product will relieve your itch, or you
can return the empty tube for a full refund.
TriCalm is available for purchase at several
major retailers nationwide, including CVS,
Walgreens and Walmart. For more information
about TriCalm, including the Itch Free Guaran-
tee, user reviews and where to buy the product,

Have you ever said to yourself “I’d love to get a computer, if only I could figure out how to use it.” Well, you’re not alone. Computers were supposed to make our lives simpler, but they’ve gotten so complicated that they are not worth the trouble. With all of the “pointing and clicking” and “dragging and dropping” you’re lucky if you can figure out where you are. Plus, you are constantly worrying about viruses and freeze-ups. If this sounds familiar, we have great news for you. There is finally a computer that’s designed for simplicity and ease of use. It’s the WOW Computer, and it was designed with you in mind. This computer is easy-to-use, worry-free and literally puts the world
at your fingertips. From the moment you open the box, you’ll realize how different the WOW Computer is.
