WALTER SCOTT’S

Bialik, 39, played a young Bette Midler in Beaches, starred in the early ’90s sitcom Blossom and for four seasons has played Sheldon Cooper’s whip-smart girlfriend, Amy Farrah Fowler, on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory, airing Thursday nights.How is Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper)

as an acting partner? “He’s fantastic. He’s very professional. He gives a lot

of room for trying new things. He’s very meticulous, which I am as well, so that’s great.”You have a doctorate in neuroscience. Does it make playing Amy easier? “It makes

memorizing some of the harder terminology easier.”

Is it true that you unwind by cleaning? “I clean my own toilets and change the cat litter. I was part of the Holistic Moms Network before I was back on TV and I

learned a lot of cleaning tips from them. It exists to exchange information about ways to keep your family clean, healthy and safe without using chemicals.” You wrote Mayim’s Vegan Table, a vegan cookbook. Do you stick to it? “I’m not super-strict. We all have our moments when we just break down and get our kids french fries because it’s easier.” What do you like to do when you’re not working? “I’m not really a hobby person. I work a lot and I’m with my kids a lot. I like hiking. I’m pretty domestic. I like sewing. I just took up Mahjong and I’m very musical; I play piano and bass guitar. I just started learning harmonica.”

WALTER SCOTT ASKS ...

Email your questions for Walter Scott to [email protected]: I was just listening to Brian Wilson’s new album, which made me wonder: Does he have a favorite song of all the songs he’s written? —Dianne C., Dana Point, Calif.

A: Wilson’s all-time favorite songs from his impres-sive Beach Boys catalog are “Good Vibrations” and “California Girls.” He

picked those two, he says, because “recording them was quite an experience.” His new album, No Pier Pressure, pays homage to the rich, layered harmo-nies Wilson, 72, and his fellow Beach Boys (Dennis and Carl Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine) created in the 1960s.

1. As a young girl, Vergara was self-con-scious about being thin and wore two pairs of jeans to add bulk.

4. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2000, but after treatment made a full recovery.

5. She became a U.S. citizen in 2014.

2. A pre-dentistry major for three years, she dropped out of college to model.

5 Things About Sofi a VergaraShe’s one hot mama on ABC’s Wednesday-night comedy Modern Family, but things sizzle even more when Vergara, 42, teams up with Reese Witherspoon in the movie Hot Pursuit, in theaters May 8. Here are fi ve things you might not know about the Colombian-born actress.

3. She named her son Manolo, now 22, after a character in Scarface.

What does Tim Gunn, from Project Runway, do

when he’s not on TV?

—Valerie M., Phoenix, Ariz.

A: In addition to co-hosting and mentoring contestants

on Project Runway (returning this summer on Lifetime), Gunn works with

students at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and the

Parsons School of Design. In his new book The Natty

Professor (Gallery), the Emmy-winning style guru,

61, notes that teachers need to encourage

experimentation and “support our students in whatever it is that they

want to do, even if it’s not what we would do

ourselves.”

The famous Brokaw luck has carried the NBC

special correspondent through an adventurous life

and a cancer diagnosis.

T O M

S T A R

BROKAW'S

At 75, journalist Tom Brokaw has had more adventures than most people rack up in several lifetimes. Name any major political figure or world leader of the last five decades, and it’s likely Brokaw has interviewed the person and probably gone hunting or fishing with him or her too. The South Dakota native has traveled to all seven continents, written six best-selling books, won every major award in broadcast journalism and received the Presidential Med-al of Freedom. And he’s been married for 52 years to the love of his life, Meredith, with whom he has three daughters and five grand-children—all in all, a pretty lucky guy.

But, as Brokaw writes in his new book, A Lucky Life Interrupted (Random House), “The conceit of a long, lucky life is that bad things happen to others.” Which is true— until they happen to you. In August 2013, Brokaw was diagnosed with multiple myelo-ma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. After months of treatment his cancer is in remission, and his luck, he says, holds steady. Cancer has changed his life, but the ele-ments that forged a lifetime of good fortune remain the same. In an interview with Parade, Brokaw explained the lessons behind the phe-nomenon his friends call “Brokaw’s lucky star.”

CIRCUMSTANCES “I’ve been lucky from my earliest memory on. I happened to be born to the right parents, and the lives we led—working class, migratory—suited my personality. I had an adventurous mindset and we lived on an Army base, then in South Dakota—it was a dynamic environment. Then I moved to Yankton, where I could get a job at the radio station and play ball and do all the things I wanted to do.”

MISTAKES “The other side of luck is if you think of it as a gift that never goes away, you can abuse it. I did when I was 19, 20 [1959-1960]. I was a college dropout, hitchhiking across the Midwest.That was part of the old, adventurous spirit. My parents were anxious about how I was going to turn out. But I look back and see that was the Brokaw luck because I learned a big, painful lesson about how easy it is to fail. It also brought Meredith and me together because she wrote me the hardest possible letter you can imagine, about ‘you’re going nowhere and I never want to see you again and nobody can understand what the hell is going on with you.’ That was a wake-up call.”

OPPORTUNITY “Even my blind luck was not entirely blind luck. For example, I was in California working for NBC and they wanted me to move East. I was happy where I was. Then they said, we want you to cover the White House; we don’t know where this Watergate thing is going. And I thought, That’s the kind of story I could get deeply in-volved in. Well, that’s the greatest political story in the history of America and I was there every day. Being there for the fall of the Berlin Wall [was also lucky]. We had no idea the Wall was going to come down 24 hours after I got there.”

ATTITUDE “I believe you make your own luck. My motto is ‘It’s always a mistake not to go.’ So I jump on the airplane, try new things—sometimes I get in way over my head, but then I think, I’ll work my way out of this somehow. A big part of making your own luck is just charging out of the gate every morning…The thing I love about living in New York is that I never fail to get up in the morning and think, Something adventurous is going to happen today. The energy is operating at full throttle all the time. And if you want to be lucky you’ve got to go out and take advantage of it.”

ADVERSITY “If there’s an oxymoron in American life it’s ‘hum-ble anchorman.’ Cancer has given me a dose of humility. I’m much more empathetic. It’s a club I would rather not have joined, but it is a club. People come up to me quietly on the street and say, ‘Mr. Brokaw, I’m a cancer survivor, too,’ or ‘How you doing?’ Cops will say, ‘You going to be okay?’ That’s been quite touching, honestly.”

LOVE “[Meredith and I] have been married a long time. This cancer experience has just deepened my awe of her. It’s hard for me to say I love her more. This has deepened our relationship. We’ve always cared about each other a lot, but I so depended on her through this.”

THE BROKAW LUCK

Some luck can’t be con-trolled. You can’t influence what numbers come up on a winning lottery ticket, the weather on your wedding day or the flowerpot that falls from a window ledge as you’re walking by below. Yet “lucky” people do shape their own fortunes, through strategies that make it more likely good things will

happen to them.Take Melisa

Atkeson of Falls Church, Va., who considers herself a “lucky” person. “Absolutely,” she says. “Every day.” Yet a few years ago, Atkeson had a string of bad luck that would wobble the knees of the most stoic. Her husband, Meade, developed an ill-ness no one could

diagnose. Three weeks later, he left his job of 25 years. Her father died of a heart attack. Several financial invest-ments nosedived and the couple lost much of their savings. Atkeson was a stay-at-home mom with five children at the time.

For Atkeson, now 53, shaping her own fortune meant taking a “leap of faith” into a new career as a social worker when she went back to work, even though she had years of experience in the computer industry. It meant following up on a lead during a casual conversation that led to a terrific job a short

commute from home. It meant appreciating that the anxiety that had plagued her much of her life was gone—because terrible things had happened and she had survived them.

Call it serendipity—those moments when things align in wonderful ways you’d never anticipated. “You have to have your eyes open, recognize the unexpected when it happens and take action,” says Dr. Stephann Makri, researcher into serendipity at University College London. Makri de-fines serendipity as when unexpected circumstances and a moment of insight lead to a valuable outcome. Think of Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming, who noticed all the dead bacte-ria around the mold in one of his culture dishes and figured out penicillin.

Open yourself up to ser-endipity and watch your luck improve:

1. PAY ATTENTION Curiosity, alertness, flexibility, cour-age and diligence—they’re traits that prepare you to recognize opportunities and act on them. So are keen powers of observation. Several artists in Makri’s studies practice standing still every day to observe the world around them. Put down your cell phone. Step away from your computer screen. Look around.

2. OPEN YOUR CALENDAR A hyper-scheduled lifestyle can close you off to seren-dipity. Down time—walking, meditating, staring out the window—allows con-

5 WAYS TO GET LUCKIER

LUCKY CHARM"The late Sam Gibbons, congress-man from Florida, came up to me at the 40th anniver-sary of D-Day and clicked a cricket and said, 'I was here 40 years ago.' The 82nd Airborne carried crickets when they jumped into Nor-mandy. They would click, then get a re-sponse of two clicks, and that’s how they found each other. I carry two or three crickets with me at all times. It's a re-minder that I’m lucky I wasn’t jumping into enemy territory in the dark of night."

A growing body of research says you can wield a powerful influence over serendipity in your life. Here’s how.

nections and patterns and ideas to reveal themselves. “Before I started working on serendipity I was very task-driven,” Makri says. “I was not as willing to talk to anyone. Now I make sure I have unstructured time every week, and more opportunities seem to come to me.”

3. INCREASE YOUR ODDS If you try more things, more good things will happen, says Dan Ariely, profes-sor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University and author of Irrationally Yours: On Miss-ing Socks, Pickup Lines and Other Ex-istential Puzzles (Harper Perennial). If you try 30 new things, at the end of the year you might count 15 good things that happened to you. But if you wait to try things only when you’re sure of success, you might count just three good things that happened that year, he says.

4. TAKE CHANCES Just as Atkeson took a chance in changing careers at 48, serendipity is more likely to strike if you take risks or go outside your comfort zone—exposing your-self to new people, places, activi-ties and information gives you the chance to make creative connec-tions that lead to serendipity. Ariely went to an art gallery opening and met an artist interested in the social sciences. That connection led to Ariely lecturing on behavioral issues—dishonesty, self-control—while artists created art related to those concepts. The collaboration even led to a new class.

5. LET IT GO Research shows that a genetic variation in the brain makes some people naturally less anxious and better able to forget bad experi-ences, says Richard A. Friedman, clinical psychiatry professor at Weill Cornell Medical College. The “un-lucky” tend to “be data collectors for bad experiences”—remember-ing every detail of negative events and weighing them all equally, so losing out on a great parking spot becomes just as awful as losing your mother’s heirloom diamond ring. —KM

Leading MD warns: Popular vision supplements often fall short

Are you one of the millions of Americans taking an eye health supplement hoping for sharper focus, better night

vision, less eyestrain, and anti-aging protection—but you haven’t “seen” any real difference? There’s a reason.

“Supplement makers must think consumers are blind and can’t clearly see the fraud that exists in store brand supplements,” says leading eye health expert Julian Whitaker, MD. “They make claims of improving vision with nutrients like lutein, but then only give you 5–10 mg, when the clinical studies demand much more.”

Lutein can be a powerful way to improve macular health, visual acuity, and glare tolerance, but it’s just one of over a dozen nutrients that can help maintain optimal eye health. Others include bilberry and black currant—clinically shown to improve the eyes’ ability to adapt from light to dark within just 30 minutes—zeaxanthin, beta carotene, taurine, vitamin C, and herbs like eyebright and schisandra.

“It is critical that you take a comprehensive vision supplement for long-term eye health. Your eyes are far too precious to skimp by taking a supplement with two or three ingredients in measly doses. Any eye health supplement you take should deliver noticeable results you can SEE!” says Dr. Whitaker.

EYE HEALTH UPDATE

Nourish and protectEVERY part of your eye

Your eyes are only as strong as their weakest link. You must choose a vision supplement that protects your lenses, maculas, retinas, and even the tiny veins and capillaries that feed your eyes.*

Rick Bayless has been instrumental in introducing Americans to authentic Mexican cuisine through his TV shows and Chicago restaurants. In his latest cookbook, More Mexican Everyday (W.W. Norton & Co.), he reveals his secret weapons: deeply � avored sauces that are quick to make, easy to keep on hand and sure to transform every dish they touch. This Salsa Negra is the perfect way to add a dash of Mexico to anything you cook on Cinco de Mayo, or any day.

Sweet-Sour Dark Chipotle Seasoning (Salsa Negra)

1. Place the chiles (with canning liquid), molasses, sugar, vinegar and ½ cup water in a blender and process until completely smooth. Scrape into a small saucepan over medium heat.

2. Let the mixture come to a brisk simmer, then turn the heat to medi-um-low and continue simmering, stirring regularly, until the mixture is the consistency of tomato paste, about 30 minutes.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce. If necessary, add water, a splash at a time, until the salsa is the consistency of runny ketchup. Cool, taste, and season with salt if needed.

Keep it: Refrigerate salsa in a tightly covered pint-sized jar, where it will keep for a month or two.

» ¼ cup balsamic vinegar or sweet sherry vinegar » ¼ cup soy sauce

» 2 (7½-oz) cans chipotle chiles en adobo» 2 Tbsp molasses» ¼ cup (packed) dark brown sugar

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

Experts attribute the rise in sea levels to melting glaciers, ice sheets and the polar ice caps. But for 100 years, humans have been pumping water from the underground water table. How much has this contributed to the rising oceans?

—L.H., Emmaus, Pa.

One team of researchers has reported that the increasing human population and its demands for drinking water, irrigation of crops, etc., could account for as much as 42 percent of the rise, surprising even experts. Much of this water evaporates or runs off into rivers and winds up in the oceans. Also, when water gets warmer, it expands. About half the rise is due to warmer oceans simply occupying more space.
