Coast Guard Helicopter That Saved 22 Lives
Heads to Air and Space Museum

ven before the Coast Guard helicopter got airborne that morning, the crew could see the glow
from the fire on the horizon, 40 miles away.
Two ships, one of them a fully loaded oil tanker, had
collided in the Gulf of Mexico near Galveston, Texas.
Both were ablaze, and one was steaming in circles out of
control. Dozens were dead, and more than 20 survivors
were trapped on board.
Three men — a battle-tested Vietnam War aviator, a
veteran Coast Guard pilot on his last duty watch and a
young crewman who took his Bible on every flight —
scrambled into the orange-and-white helicopter and
prepared for takeoff.
They radioed that they were "Rescue 1426." The "rescue" designation gave them air priority, and 1426 was

Dempsey's output is capped
by the Federation of Quebec

percent of world supply. The
Federation has excelled in its
mission to bring price stability
for the province's 13,500 sap

Excellus Designates Noyes Health
"Blue Distinction" Birthing Center
Article Submitted

n an effort to help prospective
parents find hospitals that deliver quality maternity care,
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield announced that Noyes Health has been
designated as one of the first hospitals
to receive the Blue Distinction Center
for Maternity Care designation, a new
designation under the Blue Distinction Specialty Care program.
Nearly four million babies are born
in the U.S. annually, making childbirth the most common cause of
hospitalization. This new Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care
program evaluates hospitals on several quality measures, including the
percentage of newborns that fall into
the category of early elective delivery,
an ongoing concern in the medical
community. Compared with babies
born 39 weeks or later, early term
infants face higher risks of infant
death and respiratory ailments such
as respiratory distress syndrome,
pneumonia, and respiratory failure,
among other conditions. These babies
also have a higher rate of admission
to Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
In addition, hospitals that receive

designed to help children with disabilities or chronic health conditions
– and their families – locate services.
Programs include:
• Children with Special Health Care
Needs (CSHCN) provides families
with physically disabled or chronically ill children, from birth to 21, access
to community resources and government gap-filling programs. CSHCN
also provides intake and referral to
sources of funding and/or services for
families who have children with special health care needs.

practices of care, as well as having
initiated programs to promote successful breastfeeding, as described in
the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative
by Baby-Friendly USA or the Mother-Friendly Hospital program by the
Coalition for Improving Maternity
Services (CIMS) through its “Ten
Steps of Mother-Friendly Care.” The
program also evaluates hospitals on
overall patient satisfaction, including
a willingness to recommend the hospital to others.
Blue Distinction Centers for Maternity Care, an expansion of the national Blue Distinction® Specialty Care
program, are hospitals recognized for
delivering quality specialty care safely
and effectively, based on objective
measures developed with input from
the medical community.

companies across
the nation have
recognized more
than 280 hospitals
as Blue Distinction
Centers for Maternity
Care. Hospitals recognized for these designations were
assessed using a combination of publicly available quality information and
cost measures derived from BCBS

Since 2006, the Blue Distinction
Specialty Care program has helped
patients find quality providers for
their specialty care needs in the areas of bariatric surgery, cardiac care,
complex and rare cancers, knee and

compared to other facilities, those
designated as Blue Distinction Centers demonstrate better quality and
improved outcomes for patients.

MAPLE SYRUP FROM COVER
_________________________
with the publication of a 70-page report commissioned by Quebec Agriculture Minister Pierre Paradis, who
sought a review of how the Longeuilbased Federation regulates supply.
Producers said the current system
of quotas and strategic stockpiles is
a "heavy, inflexible handicap to the
province's performance" and creates
incentives for sales on the black market.
Quebec's share of global supply has
declined by 10 percentage points in a
decade, even as demand and output
rose, according to the report.
"If nothing changes, another 10 percent will be lost by 2025," Paradis said
Feb. 11th in a statement.
Eliminating the quota would cause
extreme price variations and inconsistent quality, and would lead the industry "to ruin," Federation President
Serge Beaulieu said in a Feb. 16th
statement in response to the report's
recommendations.
While the dispute swirls, food
manufacturers are busy adding maple syrup to everything from chips
and Pop-Tarts to yogurt in response
to demand for natural sugars. Traditionally used mostly to pour over
pancakes or waffles, maple syrup is
following the same trend as other natural sweeteners such as honey, which
saw sales rise 13 percent in 2015, said
Jared Koerten, a senior food analyst at
Euromonitor in Chicago.
"World demand is now increasing,"
Caroline Cyr, a Federation spokeswoman, said in an interview. "We
need to be able to keep our markets,
to supply them. So that's why we
stockpile."
The Federation was founded 50
years ago, but it wasn't until 2002 that
a maple-syrup sales agency was created following a vote by members.
Production and marketing quotas
followed two years later, allowing the
organization a level of market control
that may exceed that of oil suppliers
like Saudi Arabia, the biggest producer in the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries.
Every year, the Federation meets
with buyers to set bulk prices, and
unsold production is sent to a strategic reserve in Laurierville, Quebec

— scene of a notorious 2012 heist.
The warehouse stores about 60 million pounds in case future output is
reduced by weather damage or pests.
Demand for exports from Quebec
have increased about 4 percent annually since 2010, according to Cyr.
By the standards of most agricultural commodity markets, which
have seen slumping prices amid excess supplies in the past three years,
maple syrup is remarkably stable. The
2016 price for the top two grades, A
and AA, was set at C$2.95 ($2.16) a
pound, 3 cents more than what producers got in each of the preceding
three years, and 6 cents more than
2012, Federation data show. The average for all grades rose 34 percent in
the past decade to C$2.88.
"The system before was anarchy,"
said Normand Urbain, a third-generation sugar maker who has 7,000
trees tapped north of Montreal. One
year during the 1980s, there was such
a surplus that producers dumped syrup down drains, he said. "You didn't
know what to expect."
Producers outside Quebec are "piggybacking" on the stability fostered by
the Federation, according to Urbain.
The number of taps in the U.S. increased by 45 percent to 11.9 million
between 2007 and 2015, according to
the Quebec report. That could rise
considerably. In the U.S., where Vermont is the biggest producer, only 6
percent of the 200 million easily available maple trees are being exploited,
and Ontario has a tapping potential
of about 108 million trees, the report
showed. By comparison, Quebec has
the potential for 100 million trees, of
which 43 million are already in use.
At Bonenberg's Ontario farm,
known as Mapleside Sugar Bush, he
plans to add 300 to 500 taps this year
on trees that currently deliver sap
from about 1,500 taps.

Clooney Backs Merkel's
Refugee Policy During
Chancellery Chat
By Stefan Nicola, Arne
Delfs
Bloomberg
C
hancellor Angela Merkel, facing the biggest challenge of
her decade in power over the
refugee crisis, has a famous friend
backing her open-door policy for asylum seekers.
George Clooney, in the German
capital to promote his new movie at
the Berlinale film festival, lent his
support to the beleaguered chancellor during a 30-minute meeting at the
chancellery on February 12th to discuss the flood of people pouring into
Europe from war-torn regions. Also
attending was Clooney's wife Amal,
a Lebanese-born human rights lawyer, and David Miliband, the former
British foreign secretary who heads
the International Rescue Committee.
Albert Einstein founded the group in
1933 to assist those fleeing the Nazis.
"Germany is taking on a great responsibility, it's very difficult politically for her," Clooney told a local
television station on February 11th,
shortly before a screening of his movie "Hail, Caesar," which kicked off the
66th annual Berlinale. Clooney said
he "absolutely agrees" with Merkel's
refugee policy, German newswire
DPA reported.
Merkel has faced increasing pressure over her welcoming stance toward refugees, which her detractors
argue helped fuel an influx of more
than 1 million asylum seekers into
the country last year. The chancellor's
spokesman, Steffen Seibert, posted a
picture on Twitter February 12th of
Clooney in a dark suit and tie sitting
at a coffee table with Merkel.
The Berlinale is showing several
films that chronicle the plight of
people fleeing war and poverty, from
U.S. land for maple-syrup production, said David Marvin, a tapper in
northern Vermont. Some producers
are concerned the American expansion occurred too quickly and that
profits may slide this year because of
the weaker Canadian dollar, he said.
Sales by U.S. farmers are effectively
tied to the benchmark Quebec price.
Still, as Vermont producer Jacques
Couture says, American farmers can
make "all the syrup we want."
In Quebec, extra output comes with
a penalty. Selling outside the quotas
— which farmers say has been happening for a while — carries sanctions from the Federation that can
include legal action, fines and asset
seizures.
"It's very restrictive," said Dempsey,
who has 10,000 tree taps on his farm
in Inverness. "If they loosen up the
rules and regulations, I think it would
eliminate a lot of the black market."

They had it shipped across the

trucked to the Udvar-Hazy Center, in
Chantilly, Va., for reassembly.
The Coast Guard Aviation Association, the fraternal group behind what
it calls "Project Phoenix," had rejected
four previous candidates, including
one it bought on eBay, before it focused on 1426.
At the time, the association was just
seeking a sound, restorable aircraft,
suitable for Smithsonian display.
It was unaware, at first, of the helicopter's history.

A Very Close Call: Headache Leaves Man
Fighting For His Life
By Sandra G. Boodman
Special to The Washington Post
The New York Eagle News/The
Washington Post
A
huge sense of relief washed
over Brad Chesivoir when a
Maryland emergency room
doctor told him the good news: He
had not suffered a heart attack or a
stroke, as he had feared. Instead he
was being dis-charged with a diagnosis of headache, although doctors
weren't sure of its cause.
Several hours earlier, on the day
after Thanksgiving 2013, Chesivoir's
family had summoned an ambulance
to their home after he became suddenly weak and unable to walk. But
by the time he got to a hospital, the
60-year-old commercial property
manager was feeling much better,
walking and talking without difficulty. After undergoing CT and MRI
brain scans as well as numerous blood
tests, doctors sent Chesivoir home
and advised him to follow up with his
internist.
Less than five weeks later, Chesivoir
was back in a hospital, his life measured in hours. "He was teetering on
the edge," recalled Edward Aulisi, the
chairman of neurosurgery at MedStar
Washington Hospital Cen-ter, who
treated him there.
The emergency room doctors had
been partly right — but Chesivoir's
problem turned out to be every bit as
life-threatening as a stroke or a heart
Doctors first dismissed Brad Chesivoir's pain as
migraines. Then they said he had 24 hours to
live. (Photo courtesy of Brad Chesivoir.)
attack. And in the intervening weeks
two specialists who saw him had
missed it.
"You know, you're lucky," Aulisi recalled telling Chesivoir shortly after
they met. Without emergency surgery, the neurosurgeon said, patients
with his condition "are the people
who go to sleep one night and don't
wake up."
--A few weeks before the Thanksgiving episode, Chesivoir had suddenly
begun experiencing lightheadedness
and tingling on his left side. "I felt
as if I might not be able to walk or
SLUSH PUPPIES Available • SOUP BAR 10 am - 6:30 pm
might collapse," he recalled. When an
episode occurred in a grocery store
parking lot, Chesivoir's first thought
was that he was having a stroke. He
got back in his car and examined his
face in the mirror, unable to detect
a facial droop that is a characteristic
sign of stroke.
The odd feeling passed quickly and
Chesivoir, who had no underlying
health problems that could predispose him to a stroke, felt reassured.
He'd had similar episodes a few years
earlier, but doctors had found nothing. This time his shakiness seemed
more pronounced when he stood up
after sitting. Chesivoir also began suffering from headaches.
The doctors who reviewed his tests
at the emergency room said the only
thing of significance was evidence of
a possible old brain bleed. Had he
fallen or hit his head? Chesivoir told
them that he had banged his head on
the mantel putting wood in his fireplace and while roughhousing with
his teenage sons — but never hard
enough to see stars or lose consciousness. "They didn't seem too concerned about it," Chesivoir recalled.
Doctors told him they suspected his
head pain was caused by either migraines or cluster headaches.
After conferring with his internist,
Chesivoir consulted a neurologist.
Looking at the images Chesivoir had
brought with him from his ER visit, he
recalled that she seemed concerned
that something on his spine might
be causing the tingling. She ordered
more tests and scheduled a follow-up
appointment for Jan. 21.
But over the next few weeks, Chesivoir's headaches worsened. "I'd go
to bed and wake up in the middle of
the night feeling like flaming railroad
spikes were thrusting into my skull,"
he said. "But at that point I wasn't too
concerned, because so many tests had
been done and there was nothing awful found. I figured it was some kind
of headache" that could be treated
with medication.
On New Year's Eve, while watching
a movie at home, Chesivoir stood up,
complained that his head hurt and
pitched face forward onto a coffee table, briefly losing consciousness. His
wife, Carole Klein, called an ambulance; by the time it arrived Chesivoir
seemed to be functioning normally.
He walked out of the house, met the
crew in the driveway and sent them
away saying he was okay.
Klein, an intellectual-property
lawyer, had grown increasingly worried about her husband. "The scariest
thing was that it seemed like his personality was changing," she recalls.
"He just wasn't right. Brad is very
gregarious and outgoing. He became
cautious and would look like he was
on edge and afraid."
By Jan. 2, 2014, the headaches were
worse. Chesivoir called the neurologist's office and saw a second specialist — the first was out of town — who
told him that his problem was most
likely an atypical migraine, which is
not preceded by the aura many migraine patients describe. "I thought,
'Finally I have a diagnosis,' " Chesivoir
recalled. The neurologist prescribed
amitriptyline, an antidepressant frequently used to prevent migraines.
Chesivoir began taking the drug.
A few days later, he telephoned
the new neurologist after developing
double vision in his right eye. "We see
this with this medication," Chesivoir
remembers the doctor saying. "Cut
the dose in half."
On Friday, Jan. 11, Chesivoir called
the doctor again, minutes after his
office opened. His double vision was
worse and accompanied by zigzag
lines; he was terrified that he was
going blind. "I stressed to the doctor's assistant who took the call that
this was very serious," said Chesivoir,
adding that he was assured that the
doctor would call him back. Chesivoir said he never heard from the
neurologist.
--On Monday morning Chesivoir
called his wife's ophthalmologist, who
agreed to see him; she had an opening in her schedule that morning.
Klein drove her husband to the office.
Minutes after the doctor peered into
Chesivoir's dilated eyes, she issued
Move and
Live Longer
Another study of seniors ages 50-79
has concluded that we can live longer
if we're more active. This one comes
with some fancy credentials: It was run
by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
The difference between this study and
previous ones that showed that activity
makes us live longer is that this study
was monitored. Other studies used selfreported information about the level
of activity. This time researchers used
activity monitors worn on the body, so
the information was certain to be correct. They then tracked those people for
eight years.
They learned that moving doesn't
have to involve weights and sweating at
the gym. Easy activity -- even making
terse instructions to Klein: Drive
straight to the emergency room at
Washington Hospital Center, where
she was on staff. Don't go home first
or stop anywhere en route. Chesivoir
had papilledema, a badly swollen optic nerve caused by excess pressure
on his brain, and needed immediate
attention.
When they arrived, Chesivoir said,
the ER was a zoo. (The ophthalmologist later told Chesivoir she regretted not calling an ambulance, which
would have expedited his admission.)
He and Klein were sent to a bay to
wait for a doctor. On the other side
of the curtain was a family whose
members began loudly playing cellphone ring tones. "I lost it and started
screaming at them that my head was
about to explode and to please keep
it down." Chesivoir was admitted several hours later, after undergoing MRI
and CT scans. He was told he would
be meeting with Aulisi, the neurosurgeon on call.
Aulisi minced no words. Chesivoir
had suffered a brain bleed, an acute
subdural hematoma, which had
grown so large it was now the size
of an adult's palm. Without brain
surgery, which Aulisi planned to
perform first thing the next morning, Chesivoir would probably die.
Scans, including those performed
on Thanksgiving weekend six weeks
earlier, showed evidence of multiple
bleeds, some old and some recent.

the bed, mopping the floor and walking
around the neighborhood -- all count as
activity that can help us live longer.
Here's the bottom line:
If we're fairly active, if we get up and
move around for 30 minutes, we'll live
longer. This can be either light or moderate physical activity. Sweaty workouts
are not required, but moderate-to-vigorous activity is especially beneficial.
If we get an average amount of activity and only move around for 10 minutes a day, we can improve our risk of
mortality by one-third. (But, once we're
up and moving, why stop at 10 minutes?
Wash one more window or walk one
more wing of the mall during senior
walking mornings, and we've just lowered our mortality risk.)
If we're not at all active, if we let ourselves be extremely sedentary, we're five
times more likely to die.
So our new mantra might be: Move,
live longer -- gym membership not required. Consider what the result could
be if we sign up for dance or swimming
classes, take yoga or qigong, or volunteer to do a neighbor's shopping once
a week.

finalized in mid-February, hasn't
been tested yet to see how it complements professional drummers.
Weinberg's next step is having
drummers wear a brain-scanning

and play exactly what they desire.
Since 2006, he has worked to create
memorable music through artificial

A subdural hematoma occurs when
blood pools in the space between the
dura, which covers the brain, and
the surface of the brain. It frequently
results from a head injury that can
occur during a fall; in some cases
the bump is so minor patients don't
remember it. In other cases there is
no bump at all. Aulisi remembers one
patient who developed a serious brain
bleed after a violent sneeze.
"It's a closed space, like a pressure
cooker," Aulisi said. A buildup of
pressure in a confined space can cause
the brain to herniate, or shift from its
proper position, which is often fatal.
"They basically missed it," said Aulisi of the brain bleeds, adding that
diagnosis is easier in retrospect. One
reason for the error, he speculated, is
that a neurosurgeon did not read the
original scans. A radiologist who read
Chesivoir's CT scan raised the possibility of old bleeds, but other doctors
did not pursue that.
By the time Aulisi saw Chesivoir,
there was no choice other than surgery. Klein said he told the couple
that Chesivoir probably had less than
24 hours to live when he reached the
ER.
"I just sort of felt like I was waiting
for the inevitable," Chesivoir recalls of
the night before his operation. Klein
remembers feeling terrified and trying to calm their children, who were
then 16 and 20.
The surgery went well. In the recovery room, Chesivoir said, he "felt so
much better that I hadn't realized how
bad I had felt." Recovery was arduous
and involved lying flat on his back for
two days. At one point Chesivoir suddenly became confused, triggering
fears that he might have suffered cognitive damage, a known complication
of the surgery, or another bleed. But
the confusion resolved within hours
and was chalked up to postoperative
swelling.
"That was the scariest part of the
whole episode," Chesivoir said. "I
wasn't that afraid of dying, but I didn't
want to be a burden on my family."
Several weeks after he was sent
home, Chesivoir, whose hobbies include photography, was taking pictures again, his vision dramatically
improved. After three months he had
fully recovered.
The ordeal was life-changing, he
said. "When things bother me now I
just have to remind myself that in the
continuum of problems, this is very
small."
Klein said that her husband's experience has shaken her faith in doctors. In retrospect, she said, she's
not sure what else they could have
done. "There was nothing different to
do," she said. "We had gone to an ER
and seen two neurologists. I felt like

office and mental health services, indicating that the Department of Veterans
Affairs is taking seriously its role in reducing veteran suicides.
Among the changes:
• Veterans will have their calls answered promptly by someone who is
experienced. Calls pertaining to noncrisis matters will be diverted to other
VA resources, freeing up the crisis responders.
• Eighty-eight more staffers are being
hired, on top of the 300 already at the
crisis line.
• Improvements to the phone systems
to handle increased demand.
As an indication of how much the
upgrades are needed, the crisis line sent
emergency responders to intervene with
veterans in crisis 11,000 times last year.
Do the math: That's over 30 veterans
per day. With the online chat and phone
text functions, crisis staffers talked to
300,000 veterans last year.
But they can't do it alone. If you know
a veteran who might be in crisis, either
now or in the future, become familiar
with the information at www.veteranscrisisline.net. You'll find information
on the warning signs of suicide, suicide
and crisis resources, and ways you can
help. Make your first stop on "The Signs
of Crisis" and click on "Identifying."
The best first way to help a veteran who
might be suicidal or in crisis is to learn
all you can.
If you're a veteran and you need help,
call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1 or send
a text message to 838255. Or go to the
web link above and join a chat group. If
you're not sure whether you're at risk,
take the self-check quiz.
There also is support for homeless
veterans, and if you're deaf or hard of
hearing. These confidential support services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, 365 days a year.

Halitosis (Bad Breath)
Whether you call it halitosis or bad breath, it’s an unpleasant condition that’s cause for
embarrassment. Some people with bad breath aren’t even aware of it.
What you eat affects the air you exhale. Certain foods, such as garlic and onions,
contribute to objectionable halitosis. Once the food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it
is transferred to the lungs, where it is expelled. Brushing, flossing and mouthwash will
only mask the odor temporarily. Odors continue until the body eliminates the food.
If you don't brush and floss daily, particles of food remain in the mouth, collecting
bacteria. Food that collects between the teeth, on the tongue and around the gums can
rot, leaving an unpleasant odor.
Breath odor can also be caused by dry mouth. Saliva is necessary to cleanse the
mouth and remove particles that may cause odor. Dry mouth may be caused by various
medications, salivary gland problems or continuously breathing through the mouth.
Tobacco products are a big risk factor for developing unpleasant breath odor. Toxins
and chemicals from tobacco products become entrapped in the papillae (rough surface)
of the tongue which create an environment for bacterial growth.
Maintaining good oral health is essential to reducing unpleasant breath odor. Brush
twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and use floss or an interdental cleaner to clean
between teeth. Brush your tongue, and use Antiseptic mouth rinses daily which will aid
in reducing bacterial levels which lead to bad breath.
Schedule regular dental visits for a professional cleaning and checkup. If you’re
concerned about bad breath, your dentist or hygienist can develop a treatment plan to
help eliminate it.

God, Wall Street and the New Push to Save
U.S. Catholic Schools
By Tom Moroney
Bloomberg
T
he financial world's fingerprints are all over Boston's St.
John Paul II Catholic Academy. Tile floors gleam and lockers
shine thanks to money raised by the
likes of Bob Atchinson, co-founder of
the hedge fund Ad-age Capital Management. Plaques outside classrooms
highlight donors from Wellington
Management Co., Convexity Capital
Management and Merrill Lynch.
Wall Street's commitment to inner-city Catholic schools goes back
decades. But in major population
cen-ters like Boston, New York and
Chicago, the alliance has taken a leap.
Donors not only demand accountability for what they've given but also
increasingly want to help run things,
too, setting off new debate about the
Catholic identity of Catholic schools.
"It is a dance that is still being
played out," says Timothy McNiff, the
Archdiocese of New York's superintendent of schools.
In Boston, Atchinson is a trustee for
the Campaign for Catholic Schools, a
nonprofit that oversaw $55 mil-lion
in fundraising that made the new
academy possible. In the New York
borough of the Bronx, Richard Brennan of Value Recovery Capital sits on
a board that runs 14 Catholic schools.

McNiff, the superintendent, granted two exceptions after a mostly lay

McNiff backs existing
policy, he expects debate

Rather than take away from public
education, Henken says the foundation's efforts save the system money
by relieving it of a certain number of
students. "Otherwise, it would cost
those schools an absolute for-tune."
San Francisco Bay-area venture
capitalist B.J. Cassin and his wife Bebe
Cassin are pushing the frontiers of lay
involvement. Their Cassin Educational Initiative Foundation has given $22
million to more than 50 Catholic educational institutions around the U.S.,
including 18 Cristo Rey high schools,
which focus on low-income students
who help pay their way by sharing
off-campus jobs. Last year Cassin
launched the Drexel Fund, which invests in a range of faith-based schools.
So far, he says, more than $15 million,
or half the $30-million goal for the
year, has been raised.
A Massachusetts native who graduated from Holy Cross College in 1955,
Cassin can remember the authoritarian ways of clergy-run education.
"The vibe now is more real-life," he
says, and educators "with families and
children can relate to the students
better."
Atchinson of Adage Capital was a
Presbyterian when he started raising
money for St. John Paul II. He converted a year and a half ago, inspired
by how much the faculty and staff
did for its students. "We need these
schools," Atchinson says, "and we
need them to be run as well as they
can."

A Radical Idea for CEO
Pay: Just Give Them a
Fixed Salary
By Jena McGregor
Washington Post
T
he big debates on CEO pay
tend to focus on one thing:
How high it is.
But in a recent essay in the Harvard
Business Review, two London Business School professors say the real
focus shouldn't just be on the size of
CEO pay, but on how it's structured.
Their argument: Research has shown,
among other things, that performance incentives don't really work
for the complex nature of the jobs
CEOs do, that high bonuses or stock
grants can lead to unethical or even
fraudulent behavior, and that lofty
awards can crowd out the "intrinsic"
motivation of wanting to do a good
job for its own sake. Their radical
solution: Don't pay CEOs based on
performance. Just give them a fixed
salary instead.
We caught up with one of the authors, LBS professor Freek Vermeulen, who wrote the essay with his colleague Dan Cable, by phone while he
was in Germany on a ski trip with his
family. Our conversation with Vermeulen, which has been edited for
length and clarity, is below.
Q: So can you sum up your argument for those who haven't seen the
piece?
A: For most CEOs — and actually
most top senior executives — their
pay depends to a very large extent on
some measure of performance. And I
mean a very large extent in comparison to the rest of us. Most of us get
a fixed salary and maybe a Christmas bonus. But for CEOs, it's actually nothing unusual for 60, 70 or 80
percent of their remuneration to be
dependent on performance. But we
have quite a bit of research on the effects of that performance-based pay,
and it isn't very pretty. We know from
research that it doesn't have a very
positive effect.
Q: Before you get into the research,
what's the core of what you're saying?
A. We know from this research that
[performance-based pay] isn't that
effective. Others have been saying
we need to change the measures of
performance. But based on what we
know from research, we say no. Actually, what you should do is something
radically different. What you should
do is not pay them for per-formance
at all, but give them a fixed salary.
Q: So how do you back that up?
A: There's research that shows that
for humans in general, performancerelated pay often backfires. That
seems slightly counterintuitive. But if
a very large component of someone's
9
nyeaglenews.com
pay is dependent on perfor-mance
— and hence there's a lot at stake —
people seem to freeze.
That's not true in routine tasks, such
as for people who work in factories.
But when you ask people to do a very
creative task, they fail to come up with
creative solutions simply because
there's so much at stake. Of course the
job of the CEO is not a routine task. It
is about finding novel solutions, and
innovations, and so on. Therefore, we
say the job of a CEO is not suited to
performance-related pay.
Q: You also say that research has
shown performance-based pay can
actually backfire, and lead to cheating.
A: We have lots of studies on CEOs
that does indeed show that [performance-related pay] leads to fraudulent behavior, or leads to overly risky
behavior. There are even studies on
companies whose CEOs' pay is very
much based on performance, and we
see more product recalls. The negative effects seem to perme-ate the
whole organization, starting from the
top down.
Q: What kind of reaction have you
gotten from the essay?
A: One response is about the size
of CEO pay. It's a very valid question
— do they get paid too much? — but
that's not what we're talking about
here. People have been confusing that
a bit, though I think we were very explicit about it.
The second type of response we've
been getting is people saying the research you're basing your argument
on is not based on studies of CEOs.
First of all, that's not entirely true.
A number of the studies based on
unethical behavior or fraudulent behavior is done on CEOs. But much of
the research we cite is indeed based
on humans. I think that is part of the
problem. People somehow seem to
think that what applies to humans
does not apply to CEOs.
Q: Almost like they're seen as a different breed?
A: CEOs are human. And actually
that's what we do see in this research.
They do react to incentives. In fact I
think we should treat CEOs like other
humans and give them a fixed salary
because their behavior is very human.
If we give them wrong incentives,
their behavior will also be wrong.
Q: The notion of "pay for performance" has become almost biblical
in the belief systems of most boards
and human resources departments.
Shareholder activists are hugely critical when a company has too much
cash compensation. How would you
begin to try to change their minds?
A: The most prominent reaction to
the piece is "you're throwing out the
baby with the bathwater." Yes, how we
currently pay CEOs distorts behavior
— I haven't read many people deny
that. . . . But then they say you just
have to give them better incentives
and better measures. Usually then
people say we have to tie their pay to
long-term performance.
I just have to ask two questions,
then. Please, define for me "long
term?" And the second question:
Please define performance? Yes, longterm performance is what the CEO
is supposed to do. But how on earth
can you measure this? And because
CEOs are human, we know that any
imperfect measure we're going to use
is going to distort their behavior. No
matter what you do, you're going to
get it wrong.
Good CEOs really don't need it. We
have something called intrinsic motivation and it's very powerful. Pay for
performance is what we call extrinsic
motivation. But pay for performance
also destroys that intrinsic motivation.
Q: Pay for performance is also no
longer a concept reserved just for executives. Many people in profes-sional or middle management office jobs
get some portion of their pay in bonuses. Do you not think some small
percentage of pay based on the variability of performance is a good idea?
A: People have been thinking
'you're putting forward a very radical
proposal, to make it completely fixed,
to stir debate a bit.' Often that's true,
and I take an extreme point of view to
argue one side of the debate and come
out somewhere in the middle.
In this case I actually quite mean
it in saying let's make it 100 percent
fixed. Even if only 30 percent of pay
is flexible, you're still going to get it
wrong. You're still going to distort
behavior and your measure of performance is still going to be imperfect. It's still going to end up destroying part of your intrinsic motivation.
So this time I actually quite mean it.
Make all of it fixed.
Q: So how do you measure or manage performance, or motivate CEOs?
Can you really find enough CEOs
who just innately want to do the job
well for its own sake?
A: If a board member said that to
me — "perhaps he's not intrinsically
motivated?" — I'd say "get someone
else." I really mean that. If you have
someone who will only do a good job
if there's a really large bonus, you really need someone else.
How then do you really measure a
CEO's performance? Every measure
you're going to have is some ap-proximation. Of course you're going to
have to try and measure things. Measures should be indicators, and they

could hoist survivors with a metal
rescue basket, was open.
As they got ready to take off, Cobb
and Kilgore noticed that the helicopter's radar altimeter wasn't working.

This was a crucial instrument that
helped tell how far off the surface
they were.
It was against Coast Guard regulations to fly over water at night without it, Cobb said in a telephone interview last month.
He and Kilgore paused. "Both of us
knew the regs," Cobb said. "Both of us
knew what was going on. I made the
decision."
They took off and headed for
Galveston.
--The old helicopter had been sitting
outside at the North Valley Occupational Center's aviation facility in
the Van Nuys area of Los Angeles for
about five years when Bob Johanson
first saw it.
Its paint had faded in the sun. And
there were wooden steps and a railing
leading up to the cargo door.
The facility, which trains aircraft
mechanics, had acquired the HH52A after the model was phased out
by the Coast Guard in 1989. Rescue
1426 had been there ever since.
The HH-52A was a curious helicopter that could land on water to
make rescues. It had a boat hull and
carried an anchor.
Johanson and the Coast Guard Aviation Association had been searching
for a good helicopter since 2005. The
Coast Guard is marking the centennial of its aviation service this year,
and the Smithsonian had long wanted
a Coast Guard aircraft, said museum
specialist Roger Connor.
In 2005, the association had found
three HH-52As languishing in the
weeds at the Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.
The hope was that one of them, using parts from the others, would be
restorable, Johanson said in a telephone interview last month.
But the work was going to cost a lot
of money and take a lot of time, and
the plan foundered.
In 2009, the association discovered
an old HH-52A for sale on eBay and
purchased it for about $9,000, Johanson said. But restoring that turned out
to require time, and space, and that
plan didn't work out either, he said.
In 2012, Johanson, who lives outside Annapolis, Md., learned about
another one in California and went to
take a look.
Aside from the weathering, it was
in excellent shape. Its tail number was
1426.
Johanson asked if the school would
part with it so it could go to the
Smithsonian. The school was amenable but didn't want to lose such a
good training tool.
So a trade was arranged.
The Coast Guard was then getting
rid of a fleet of small Falcon jets, and a
deal was made to swap one of the jets
for the school's HH-52A.
By then, Johanson said, the association had uncovered the helicopter's
history.
--As Rescue 1426 neared the collision site, the three Coast Guardsmen
could see the fire raging on the tanker.
"There was a sea of fire around it,
so it's got a fire footprint much larger
than the tanker itself," Kilgore, 67, of
Rowlett, Tex., said in a telephone interview last month.
As the helicopter hovered near the
tanker, Wynn, 61, spotted a burned
body, covered in oil, face down in the
water, he said in a telephone interview last month.
He dropped a data marker buoy
with a radio transmitter so the body
could be recovered later.
Then he spotted more bodies. These
were on the deck of the ship, and they
were blackened and on fire.
"There's men burning on the fantail," he told the cockpit.
"How many?" he said Kilgore asked.
"I see at least two, maybe more,"
Wynn said he replied.
"We couldn't save them," he recalled. "There was just no way."
The helicopter resumed its search
for survivors.
Suddenly, as Wynn remembers the
sequence of events, there was a huge
explosion aboard the tanker, and a
mushroom of fire erupted.
A blast of heat blew into the helicopter and hit him in the face. "I
could feel that hot, hot air," he said.
The aircraft was tossed, but Cobb
quickly regained control, Wynn said.
"It was intense," Cobb, 74, of Ingram, Texas, recalled. "I wasn't frightened. Maybe I should have been."
Moments later, Wynn said, he saw
two people perched on a railing under an overhang at the back of the
tanker. They were there because the
deck was too hot, they said later, and

Wynn lowered the rescue basket,
directing Cobb over the intercom —

a few feet.
Because of the overhang, Wynn
could only swing the basket toward
them. He tried a few times. Finally
he got it close enough that the men
leaped off the railing, grabbed the
basket and climbed in.
"They would have died if they'd
missed,'' Wynn said.
He hauled them in.
Finding no more survivors on the
tanker, the helicopter flew to the Mimosa, some distance away, where a
group was clustered together on the
ship's bridge.
The Mimosa was out of control, steaming in circles around its
dropped anchor.
Plus, it had a forest of cargo cranes
on its deck that made rescuing the
sailors even more hazardous.
As Wynn lowered the basket, several men grabbed it and jumped in. He
pulled them up and lowered it again.
More piled in, and he retrieved them.
The chopper began to fill up. As
space ran low, Wynn had the sailors
sit on one another's laps.
Cobb and Kilgore, meanwhile,

They were worried about the stress
on the aircraft's transmission and

heaven when I got to 300 feet."
Cobb made for a nearby oil rig and
dropped off the survivors.
The aircraft made two more trips
to the Mimosa that morning, rescuing six sailors on one run and four on
another, Kilgore recalled.
By then, another helicopter had arrived to help. Rescue 1426 was low on
fuel, and it headed back to Houston.
More than 30 men, most of them
Taiwanese sailors from the Burmah
Agate, died in the collision, according to an official report. Twenty-five
of the Mimosa's 26-man crew were
saved. The Burmah Agate burned for
two months.
The three men from the 1426 went
separate ways after the Coast Guard.
Kilgore became a lawyer. Cobb became a registered nurse. Wynn went
into business, taught in a Florida prison and served as a missionary.
All three plan to attend the Smithsonian unveiling next month.
"It has been 35-plus years since I
have seen Chris and Tom and the
1426," Cobb wrote in an email. "I
trusted my life to the men I served
with. . . . That bond survives."

Corinne and his parents, were his
brother Ronald, and his sisters, Onnolee Paine, Dorothy Baker, Leola
Chasey and Audrey McColl.
He grew up in Canaseraga and
graduated from Canaseraga Central School in 2007, 64 years after
his class, as he left school to join the
Army during WWII. He graduated
with the Class of 2007 through the
“Operation recognition” program. He
was drafted into the Army in October
1943 and was honorably discharged
in October 1945. He served during
WWII for two years, most of it on
the front lines. He has three Purple
Hearts and a Bronze Star. Ross made
two beach invasions from North Africa on to Italy (they were Salerno and
Anzio, which were the first European
invasions, and preceded Normandy).
He crossed the Rhine into enemy fire,
and into France, and made it all the
way to Hitler’s bunker outside of Berlin. He was a member of the Fighting
36th Infantry Division, a unit that set
the record for the most consecutive
days on the front lines, 133 days of
combat no matter the weather or terrain.
On his first beach invasion his boat
was shot out from under him and
he was thrown into the water with a
100-pound machine gun strapped
to his back. He couldn’t swim, but
he found a way. He was shot up and
hospitalized three times. He was once
caught behind the enemy lines, bleeding in a ditch with the Germans just
a few yards away. He survived because Italian women hid him under
straw during the day and wrapped
wet blankets over his wounds at night
until he was rescued. One winter he
got frostbite in both feet so bad they
were ready to amputate them. He was
saved when an experimental drug
reached the front lines, penicillin.
Each time he was wounded, he was
patched up and returned to the front.
There was no stopping the 136th Infantry and Sergeant Glover in the
fight for freedom. After the war he
worked various jobs, including as a
bus driver for the Dansville schools.
He got training as a front-end alignment specialist and was considered
one of the best for miles around. He
worked for many years for Shay’s Service/Main Tire Exchange in Dansville
up until his retirement. He held many
positions with the Legion at the Post,
county, regional and state level, including Commander of the Post. He
was instrumental with the American
Legion Baseball program, Boy’s State,
the White Sabers Drum and Bugle
Corps and more.
Surviving, in addition to his wife of
five years, are two sons, Robert and
his wife Shelly of Sleepy Hollow and
Canisteo, and Donald Glover and his
fiancée Donna Fischer of Orchard
Park; five grandsons, Mark Glover
of Corning, Matt Glover of Macedon, Dan Glover of Buffalo, Michael
Glover of Buffalo, and Chris Glover
of New York City. A sister, Georgianna (Harry) Scheithauer of North
Port, FL; three stepsons, Mark Veltman of Schenectady, Scott Veltman
of Albany, and Brett Veltman of Colorado Springs; five stepdaughters, Ingrid Bruck of Pequa, PA, Dana Testo
of Ballston Spa, Leslie Keithline of
Larkspur, Co, Lynn-Erin Chesser of
Sherwood Park, and Cory Veltman of
Sebastopol, CA.
A funeral service was held February 29, 2016 at the Dansville United
Methodist Church. Interment was set
for Rogersville Forest Lawn Cemetery,
South Dansville. Memorial contributions may be made to a memorial for
Ross Glover at the American Legion,
and for the renovation of the Post.
Checks can be sent to Daniel Goho
Post 87 of The American Legion, PO

It's High Season for Online Dating - Plot
Your Moves Carefully
By Sarah Polus
Washington Post
I
f dating is a game, online dating
is a game of strategy. Message
someone "hey," and you'll probably be ignored. Send the wrong emoji
- or apparently any at all if you're male
- and you're as good as gone.
The protocol can be daunting, especially to someone new to the game.
With the beginning of a new year, we
figured there's no better time to ask
online dating experts to share their
tips for success.
Your odds are good during the winter: According to Lauren O'Reilly of
OkCupid, people tend to end relationships going into the holidays and
want to start fresh in the new year.
"Everybody starts their New Year's
For all your

resolution, and a lot of times it's: Get
online or go out more, proactive stuff
to really meet somebody," said Jess
McCann, author of "You Lost Him at
Hello: From Dating to 'I Do' - Secrets
from One of America's Top Dating
Coaches."
Pressure from family members during the holidays or wishing they had
someone to spend the holidays with
encourages people. The weather also
plays a factor: It is "cuffing season,"
after all, the time of year when humans are more apt to want to stay in
and cuddle up.
Your odds are even better on Sundays: Add perusing dating apps
into your "easing into the week day"
Sunday night routine. According to
O'Reilly, 7 p.m. on Sunday is the average peak of traffic for OkCupid, aka
your best chance of striking up a conversation with a potential suitor.
Don't procrastinate: "Messages sent
within the first 24 hours are twice
as likely to receive a response," said
Jean-Marie McGrath of Hinge. The
majority of users take up to 2.5 days
to start a conversation, however.
Be genuine: Look at a dater's profile
and write to them about something
specific, so they know that you're not
just randomly throwing out opening
lines to every single person that is on
the app, McCann suggests. "If they
say they're a foodie, hit them with 'so
I see you're a foodie, what's the best
Mexican restaurant in town?'" McCann said.
Give them something to work with:
Starting a conversation with a question works best. But say more than,
"Hey, what's up?," which puts the
pressure on the other person to come
up with something to talk about. Encourage a match to answer by feeding
them material.
"You can say something like 'Katy
Perry or Taylor Swift?' or a cute opening line with two choices that kind of
gives you a little idea of who they are,"
McCann said.
Play it cool: People tend word-vomit exactly what they're looking for in
their bios: a life partner or someone
to cuddle with at night. Less is more,
warns Laurie Davis, chief executive of
eFlirt, an online dating consultancy.
"You would never say that to somebody when you first meet them at a
bar, so don't say that online either,"
she said. Keep it light and simple, and
never be negative. Listing what you
don't want in a relationship is "just
going to make you look cold," she
adds.
Get offline ASAP: Many people like
the idea of online dating in theory but
don't find success because they never
meet people face-to-face. Which is
why McCann likes the sense of urgency that location-based apps like
Tinder present to users. "You're only
going to be in the same place and
time for a very short finite period,"
she says.
Try to keep virtual chatting to a
minimum: Davis's rules of thumb
are six messages back and forth on
dating sites, 20 to 30 text exchanges
if you're on a dating app. If by two
weeks of messaging, you haven't met
up, someone's got to pull the trigger
and suggest a date.
"You really want to get to meeting
each other and make sure that there
really is some sort of real connection
before you develop a virtual fantasy
of the relationship in your head," McCann said.
Hit them with your best shots:
When it comes to your photos, "you
need to look like you're ready to walk
out the door and go on a great first
date," McCann said.
That means avoiding group photos,
wearing sunglasses or only including
pictures of your face.
"You're 203 percent more likely to
get messages when you have one full
body shot," Davis advises.
Be sure to include pictures that show
what your life is like when you're not
just sitting around your living room
taking selfies. Active lifestyle shots
make for great conversation starters.
Emoji are your friend, but only
if you're a woman: "Men shouldn't
be using emoji at all," Davis said. "If
they use a smiley face in a message,
their response rate drops 66 percent."
Ouch, what gives? According to Davis, women look for confidence in a
man, and relying on emoji to show
emotions doesn't exude confidence.
But for women the opposite is true.
According to Davis, when women
use a smiley face in their profile, it
will increase messages by 60 percent.
"For women, when they use emoji, it
comes across as being warmer."
Davis, however, warns women to
avoid use of flowers, hearts or any
emoji that seem lovey-dovey. "It's
like the text version of too much too
soon."
Momentum is important: "If there's
going to be things that are barriers to the momentum, you want to
make that clear up front," Davis said.
If you're going away, make a plan to
meet up when you get back — having
something to look forward to could
keep a fledgling relationship from fizzling out.

install your window screens to air out the house
(or even if you keep them up year-round),
double-check to make sure they are pet-secure.
Cats love a windowsill, and they can fall through
and out the window if screens are not secure. If
you have a pup, you may want to give it the push
test − it should be able to withstand Fido's nose
jammed against it!

wear gardening gloves. If you love the feel of
dirt in your hands but don't love dirty nails,
simply rake your nails over a bar of soap before
you dig in. The soap gets under there, keeping
dirt out. Bonus, it's easier to wash your hands
afterward!

Vintage Fixtures Require Some Light Research
By Elizabeth Mayhew
Special To The New York Eagle
News/The Washington Post
I
like to buy vintage light fixtures
— sconces, lanterns, pendants
and chandeliers — for my decorating projects. I find that vintage fixtures are often better-made than new
fixtures, I prefer their patina, and I appreciate the distinctive, one-of-a-kind
quality they add to rooms.
Online shopping platforms such as
1stDibs, Etsy and One Kings Lane
have made it easy to find everything
from an early-20th-century French
crystal chandelier to a '60s Sputnik.
But before you click the "buy" button
on a vintage fixture, there are a couple
of things you need to know.
First, always ask whether a fixture
has been rewired. Sometimes sellers note this in the product description, but if that's not the case, call or
email the seller to find out. There are
a number of reasons to have a fixture
rewired. It could be that the wiring is
European, in which case it is not compatible with U.S. voltage, or it could
be that the wire is dried out and brittle
— a potential fire hazard.
Rewiring isn't a big deal; it just
means more time and money that you
will have to invest in the fixture. Any
reputable lighting store can do the
work for you.
Second, if you are planning on using the fixture in a newly constructed
home, you will probably need to have
the fixture UL-certified or you won't
pass an electrical inspection. I learned
this the hard way when an electrician
refused to install a non-UL-approved
vintage fixture in a client's home.
UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a 122-year-old company that
tests not just light fixtures but also
many other items, including blenders and suspended ceiling tiles, for
safety. According to UL's consumer
safety director, John Drengenberg,
more than 22 billion items carry the
UL seal.
To get a light fixture approved by
UL, you need to send it to someone who subscribes to UL's services.
(Translation: The person or company
pays UL a subscription fee.) Typically,
UL subscribers are large manufacturers. This is how it works: A manufacturer sends its product to UL, and UL
conducts a series of safety tests. The
UL tests make sure that all of the components are working properly, that
the fixture is grounded and that the
proper grade of wire was used. Once
the item is deemed safe, the manufacturer is allowed to use the UL stamp
on all future production of that item.
(To be clear, not every item that gets
the stamp has been tested.) Companies continue to pay UL yearly fees
to maintain the relationship, and, in
turn, UL reserves the right to spotcheck the manufacturers' facilities
whenever it wants.
In the case of lighting, electricians,
against being held
liable should something go wrong. For
new construction,
UL certification becomes all the more
important
when
building
inspectors are assessing
a new project for a
certificate of occupancy. This was the
situation when the
electrician I hired
refused to hang my
client's vintage light
fixture; he did not
see the UL stamp
on it, so he would
not hang it for fear
that he would be
cited by the building inspector and
thus jeopardize his
license.
The problem is
A vintage light fixture in the home of one of Elizabeth Mayhew's clients.

that it's not easy to
inspectors, designers and architects find someone who can grant a vintage
use the UL stamp as a safety short- fixture UL approval. Although Manaf
hand; they view it as protection uses top-of-the-line UL-approved
parts (sockets, wires, etc.) to remake
fixtures, he is not certified to attach a
UL-approved sticker to that fixture.
Unfortunately, UL does not have an
adequate resource search on its site.
What it does have is a directory of
subscribers, but there is no geographic filter. The directory is helpful only
in confirming that someone who says
they can give UL approval actually
can. If you do find someone who says
they can do UL certifications, Drengenberg suggests cross-checking the
business name in the UL directory.
He warns: "Watch out for people who
claim to be able to give the certification. They could be counterfeit."
The existence of UL bootleggers is
not surprising: Getting UL approval
on a single fixture can be pricey. I
recently asked three UL-certified
inspectors how much it would be to
have a five-socket fixture certified.
Their prices ranged from $195 to
$650.
Ultimately, only you can decide
whether you are comfortable forgoing UL certification for a fixture. It
is absolutely legal to sell, buy and install non-UL-approved fixtures, and
Vintage fixtures, such as this chandelier in the
author's home, add a distinctive flair but may
require some work to install. (Photo credit: Annie
Schlecter.)
a large percentage of designers, antiques dealers and electricians balk at
the UL requirement, saying that it is
unnecessarily rigorous. In fact, when
I spoke to a number of antiques dealers, they all said that it didn't pay for
them to have fixtures UL-approved
because customers demand it only
about 5 percent of the time.

“Sugar why don’t you sit down by
the table and we’ll start supper,” said
Dorothy to her Husband of 50 years.
“Sure thing,” said her husband settling himself down.
“Now darling, would you like the
soup first or the salad?” questioned
Dorothy.
“Umm I guess I’ll take the soup,” he
responded.
After a whole meal of one endearing term after another, their guest
Bob couldn’t contain his curiosity any
longer. Bob snuck into the kitchen
and asked, “Dorothy do you always
talk to your husband like that?”
“Bob, I’ll be honest with you,” Dorothy replied. “It’s been five years now,
I just can’t remember his name, and I
am just too embarrassed to ask him!”

rare distinction of being both. Born in
West Virginia and reared in Las Vegas
this former surfer/underwater/studio
portrait photographer left his modern
lifestyle driving a horse-drawn wagon
on a coast-to-coast journey across 36
states as an itinerant tintype portrait
photographer. In 1985 he put down
roots in Yates County.
After digging through out-of-theway historical archives in preparation
for his first tintypes, John became the
first to teach wet-plate collodion photography in the field, which he continues to do at his Dundee homestead
each summer. In 2000 John became
the first artist to specialize in tintypes,
exhibiting in some of New York City’s
finest art galleries and later in galleries across the country.
As traditional as John may be in
many ways, he has also in the forefront of innovation. He is not averse
to combining old technology with
new technology to create something
new and extraordinary. For instance,
he was the first to ever make a tintype
movie. John’s works are all one-of-akind originals – originals – just like
historic and modern tintypes and just
like John Coffer. Everyone is invited
to come out and learn more about the
early days of photography and how
this historic process has become a

I don't live in either of those places. Mine is a settled, normally quiet

aren't exactly welcome.
So I had to push the R/T Scat
Pack's electronic ignition button, let
the big engine rumble a bit, release
the emergency brake, slip the eightspeed TorqueFlite automatic transmission into reverse gear and let the
5,300-pound car quietly roll down
and out of my driveway without
touching, or barely touching, the accelerator pedal.
Age is a tempering thing. Had I
been 40 years younger than my current 68, I would've smacked that pedal, rejoiced in the tumultuous exhaust
note and taken off. But I've long since
learned that other people have feelings, too. They might not share my
enthusiasm for a high-powered piece
of shiny metal, in this case, something
painted "TorRed" (read "torrid" or
"tornado"-red paint) with a clear-coat
covering.
Heck, just say the R/T Scat Pack's
exterior was bright red, a color I once
passionately embraced but now try to
avoid. Why? It's brought me nothing
but trouble. In cars, I've paid enough
fines on bright-red performance automobiles to fund a first semester's
tuition at a good private college. In
women, well, I thank God every day
for having the luck to actually marry
a woman who prefers grays, blues and
greens.
So, yes, I was ill at ease running
around in a loud, fast, bright-red
high-performance automobile.
But the longer I stayed behind its
wheel, the more fun I had, the more
seduced I became. I remembered how
much I liked cars with irresponsible
power and speed and how much I
loved bright red despite — or because
of — its association with sin.
Then, God spoke.

Bottom line: This is a toy, a car for drivers who primarily want to have fun.
Ride, acceleration and handling: The ride is smooth on good roads but discernibly bumpy on those that are less well maintained. It goes from 0 to
60 mph in about 5.9 seconds on dry roads. But it has an aggressive rearwheel-drive setup that, with performance tires, renders it useless on mildly
icy roads.
Body style/layout: The Challenger is a five-seat, two-door coupe available
in seven trim levels - SXT, SXT Plus, R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Scat Pack, SRT 392
and SRT Hellcat.
Engine/transmission: The R/T Scat Pack comes with a 6.4-liter, 16-valve
gasoline V-8 with variable valve timing (485 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of
torque). A six-speed manual transmission is standard. The model used for
this column was equipped with an optional eight-speed automatic that can
also be operated manually.
Capacities: The car seats four people comfortably. Cargo capacity is 16.2
cubic feet. The fuel tank holds 18.5 gallons of gasoline (premium grade is
recommended for best performance).
Mileage: Not much. In fact, this one comes with a $1,000 federal gas-guzzler
tax. You get 15 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway - 20 mpg
overall, which is 2.5 less than the federal standard of 22.5. Thus, the tax.
Safety: Standard equipment includes front and rear ventilated disc brakes;
four-wheel anti-lock brake protection; emergency braking assistance; emergency braking preparation; brake drying; post-collision safety system; stability and traction control; and front, side and rear air bags.
Recommended safety options: All the advanced electronic safety items.
Pricing: This one starts at $37,995, with a dealer invoice price of $36,566.
Price as tested is $47,070, including $7,080 in options (advanced electronic
safety, premium sound system and other items) and a $995 factory-to-dealer shipment charge and $1,000 federal gas tax. Dealer's price as tested is

easily make it through this light powder."

Everything We Know About Tesla's
Secret Model 3...and Model Y
By Tom Randall
Bloomberg
T
esla is gearing up for its biggest-ever unveiling: the Model
3, an affordable electric car
that's supposed to take the company
from 50,000 vehicle sales last year to
500,000 in 2020. Here's what we know
so far.
• There will only be one new car (for
now). Despite some speculation to
the contrary, there will only be one
car unveiled in March: the Model 3
sedan. Rumors have circulated that
Tesla might also unveil a Model Y
crossover vehicle, but according to
people familiar with Tesla's launch
plans, this event will focus on the
Model 3 exclusively.
• This is the big one. It's "going to be
probably the most profound car that
we make," Elon Musk said. "It will be
a very compelling car at an affordable
price.'' The Model 3 is now the company's top priority.
• It's on schedule. The unveiling of
the Model 3 was set for this month,
and pre-orders began in February.
Production will start in 2017.
• The price is right. The base model
cent smaller. Given the
room freed up by the electric motor and Tesla's subfloor batteries, it should
still have more storage than
a typical compact car.
• Free range. Expect a
range of at least 200 miles
per charge, possibly more.
The recently announced
2017 Chevy Bolt will have
a 60 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. If Tesla offers the
same sized pack, it's range

• Autonomous ready. The Model 3
will probably come equipped with the
sensors for autonomous driving, even
if Tesla requires additional fees to activate them. In late January Musk predicted that in 10 to 15 years, all new
cars will be autonomous. He also said
roughly a third of people will forgo
car ownership in favor of shared car
services like Uber, or the Tesla equivalent (don't call it Tuber).
• Long warranty. The Model 3 will
have a warranty similar to that for the
Model S, including an 8-year, infinite
mile transferable warranty on the battery pack and drive unit, Musk said on
Twitter in August 2014. That's important after Consumer Reports dinged
the company last year for reports of
excessive drivetrain problems.
• About that Model Y: We know
from a slide deck used by Tesla's
Straubel that the company is planning
a "Model 3 Sedan & Crossover." The
two vehicles will probably share the
same chassis, battery, and motor platform. But the sedan will come first.

His head. The powerful, loud, rearwheel-drive R/T Scat Pack was absolutely no match for that light snow.
It lost traction on a minor hill and
would not move forward. I gave up
and let it slide backward to a flatter,
safer place, where I left it parked overnight.
Luckily, I was less than a mile from
home. I walked. But, for me, it was an
epiphany, an evangelical moment. All

all of that "in-yo-face" macho motorized pride — it all was rendered useless, helpless, impotent by a tiny bit of

ing over-the-air Wi-Fi and 3G or 4G
wireless downloads to add functions
such as self-parking and to upgrade
performances of their vehicles. It's
prompting suppliers like NXP Semiconductors, Ericsson and Gemalto to
celebrate as car builders fight to keep
hackers out.
"As soon as you connect anything
to the Internet, there's a hacking
risk," said Jonathan Olsson, a security
expert at Ericsson, which sells wireless networks to clients from mobile
carriers to carmakers like Volvo. "We
protect the software that's sent to a
vehicle and make sure it hasn't been
tampered with, while policing who
connects to the car."
Tesla recently rolled out new software that will let its Model S and
Model X electric sedans park in a garage or in perpendicular spaces without a driver behind the wheel. The
average update takes 45 minutes. It's
typically aimed at boosting anything
from engine performance to the car's
speed and electric battery usage.
As software gains ground and controls additional features in vehicles,
such as self-driving capabilities or
integrating with services like Spotify,
cars will require regular updates, just
like Apple pushed modifications to its
iPhone software about 10 times last
year. Many updates will be aimed at
fixing software bugs – there are typically 200 million lines of code in a car,
which means it's unlikely to be bugproof from day one, Ericsson's Olsson
said.
The learning curve has proved
messy for some carmakers so far,
spurring demand for expert suppliers. Toyota Motor Corp., the world's
largest automaker, in 2014 had to
recall more than half of the Prius vehicles ever sold to fix a software bug
that could slow down or bring the car
to a halt.
"The car is being converted into a
self-driving robot," said Lars Reger,
chief technology officer of chipmaker
NXP's automotive division. "Because
of that, software is becoming far more
important than it was 10 years ago."
NXP's chips can be found in cars
from manufacturers including Tesla,
Audi, BMW and Mercedes.
The practice of updating a car's software is due to grow at least tenfold
in the coming six years as vehicles
become increasingly connected, researcher IHS Automotive forecast in
a report. About 4.6 million cars got
over-the-air updates for telematics
applications last year, compared to 43
million units expected worldwide by
2022, it said. Maps, infotainment and
core auto functions will also spur updates, IHS said.
It's inevitable that carmakers will go
through the same motions as banks or
retailers did in the past years, bulking
up their security spending to avoid
breaches that would hurt consumer
confidence, said Olivier Piou, CEO
of cybersecurity company Gemalto,
which has Audi among its customers.
"Companies who have a reputation to
protect can't afford not to think about
security," Piou said.

"I think it is quite likely we will do a

January in Hong Kong. "I think it's
sort of a logical thing for us to do."
• The Gigafactory is key. Tesla's
multibillion dollar battery factory in
Nevada will be crucial for meeting
Model 3 delivery demands. Batteries
are the biggest single cost of production, and their price and supply are
currently the biggest limiting factor
for EV growth, according to Straubel.
• Don't call it the Model III. The
car's logo may be three parallel bars,
but don't call it the Model III, Musk
told followers on Twitter. The bars
should be horizontal, similar to the
stylized "E" in the Tesla logo. That's
no mistake; Musk originally wanted
to call it the Model E, in order to spell
out "SEX" and then "SEXY" with his
full lineup of Model names. He had
to settle with "Model 3" because Ford
wouldn't give up the trademark it
owns.

Perfect Storm Creates Baseball's Biggest
Home-Run Surge Since the Steroid Era
By Neil Greenberg
Bloomberg News
M
ajor League Baseball was
in a home run recession.
Entering the 2015 season,
league-wide home run totals had been
dropping precipitously, from 4,934 in
2012 to a 20-year low of 4,186 in 2014.
A variety of factors explained the
plunge in power. Even beyond stricter
drug-testing guidelines weeding out
the performance-enhancing-drugfueled sluggers of the late 1990s and
early 2000s, new approaches and
strategies were hindering hitters.
Higher velocities from pitchers and
an ever-expanding strike zone put
strikeouts at an all-time high. Managers began treating pitchers as sprinters rather than long-distance runners,
calling more frequently to the bullpen
for fresher arms with better pitchplacement at crucial times, while
front offices focused on stockpiling
hard-throwing relievers.
The downward trend in offense
was easily understandable. And that's
what makes the 2015 season so mysterious.
Last season, MLB's home run total jumped by 723, or 17.3 percent, a
spike not seen since 1996 when homers boomed by 21.6 percent in the nascent days of MLB's so-called steroid
era.
Since 1970, baseball has only witnessed six seasons in which the home
run total increased by 700 or more.
Five of them are explainable by events
in and around the game.
The first such spike in 1977 coincided with MLB's switch from balls produced by Spalding to a new version
made by Rawlings, the same manu-
facturer used today. Hitters launched
1,409 more home runs that season. In
1982, the second 700-plus home run
spike, baseball was returning from a
players strike that cost the league 38
percent of its season in 1981. The
1994 strike produced a similar result,
with a 775-homer increase in 1995.
Those seasons were bookended by
home run explosions in 1993 (992)
and 1996 (881) that correlate with the
start of wide-spread PED use in the
game.
Then there is 2015, when baseball's
offensive downturn was reversed
in remarkable fashion. The odds of
such a development are so slim, they
were almost incalculable to Robert
Vanderbei, a math professor at Princeton University.
Vanderbei used MATLAB, a highend program for numerical computation, to determine the odds of such a
spike following the offensive droughts
of 2013 and 2014. The result?
"It said zero," he said. "Something
definitely changed. I don't know what
but something definitely, significantly

changed."
But what? What can explain such a
sudden and violent reversal of baseball's recent trend? As players prepared for the 2016 season in spring
training camps across Arizona and
Florida, no one had a solid theory to
explain the explosion.
"700? That's a lot," Kansas City
Royals starting pitcher Chris Young
said when presented with the figure.
The veteran of 11 big league seasons
couldn't think of a clear reason for the
spike.
Washington Nationals ace Max
Scherzer similarly lacked an immediate answer. He wondered how many
ballparks had moved in fences. Then
he wondered if the ball had changed,
noting he would not necessarily be
able to feel all alterations while throwing it.
"Every year parks bring their fences
in, don't they?" said Shawn Kelley,
who pitched last year with the San
Diego Padres.
The Padres, along with the New
York Mets, did move in their outfield
walls last season at their home, Petco
Park. "It used to be the hardest one to
hit in and last year it wasn't," Kelley
said. "From what I heard going there,
to what I saw when I got there, there
were a lot of balls that went out where
I was like 'I wouldn't think that would
be a homer.'"
Changes to stadium dimensions did
play a role, but the alterations in San
Diego and Queens only upped the
totals for the Padres' and Mets' home
parks by a combined 99 home runs
from 2014 to last season.
Other theories included climate
change, improved scouting, even a
conspiratorial suggestion the ball itself may be livelier. But a closer examination yields no single, clear cause to
explain one of the biggest offensive
outbursts in baseball history.
What it wasn't
Some offered explanations can be
eliminated, however. It's true 2015
was the warmest year on record, and
it's also true baseballs fly farther in
hotter temperatures. Alan Nathan, a
Professor Emeritus of physics at the
University of Illinois, found an increase of average temperature by one
degree Fahrenheit would result in an
increase in home runs by about 0.6
percent.
Per baseball-reference.com, average game temperatures during night
games increased from 73.0 to 73.7
degrees from 2014 to 2015, and from
71.6 to 73.5 during day games. But
to fully account for the 17.3 percent
spike we observed last season, temperatures would need to jump from
those averages around 73 degrees all
the way to 361 degrees Fahrenheit
across all games. Thankfully for mankind, that was not the case.
Equipment changes can also be
ruled out. While Barry Bonds may
have popularized using maple bats,
over the then-more common ash,
when he set the single-season home
run record in 2001, the lumber is a
non-factor.
"If a baseball player thinks they can
hit better with a maple bat, maybe
they can hit better," explained James
Sherwood, director of the University
of Massachusetts-Lowell Baseball Research Center. "But from a scientific
perspective, there is no difference."
One MLB scout with over 30 years'
experience suggested the possibility
of a livelier ball, the theory also put
forward by Scherzer.
"There are smaller seams on the
ball so it is harder to make the ball
move and break on breaking balls,"
the scout said. "I also think the ball is
wound tighter than it has ever been."
Changes to the ball could explain
the jump. In 1974, when Spalding
was still the manufacturer on record,
the ball's outer coating went from
horsehide to cowhide, and home run
production dropped nearly 15 percent from the year before. Rawlings,
the current manufacturer of MLB
baseballs, took over from Spalding in
1977, and home runs jumped up 63
percent in a single season.
Changes — no matter how slight
— can have immediate effects on the
league's home run rate. But not in this
case, according to Rawlings.
"Major League Baseball audits
our plant at least once a year and is
completely satisfied with the ball we
produce," said Mike Thompson, the
executive vice president of marketing for Rawlings. "There is ongoing
__________________
HOME RUNS PAGE 19
testing all year long just to make sure
the consistency meets Major League
Baseball's needs. If anything, the tolerance and specifications on the ball
have been improved. And the rigidity
of those tolerances has been tightened."
In 2000, Major League Baseball and
Rawlings funded a study by Sherwood at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Baseball Research Center to study the baseballs being used.
Sherwood, who continues to examine
baseballs for MLB today, found "no
significant performance differences
and verified that the baseballs used
in Major League games meet performance specifications."
So, was it the players?
One possible explanation stems
from the significant influx of young
talent into the game. Last season
baseball debuted arguably its bestever rookie class, one that included
Chicago Cubs sluggers Kris Bryant
(26 home runs) and Kyle Schwarber
(16), Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Joc Pederson (26), Houston Astros
shortstop Carlos Correa (22) and
Twins infielder Miguel Sano (18).
In total, last season's rookies blasted
714 home runs, an MLB record. But
that total still doesn't account for the
entirety of the spike. There are rookies every season. When you adjust for
the home runs hit by rookies in 2014,
even this record total accounts for
only 360 of the extra 723 home runs.
Breaking down the league by age,
we see an even more notable spike
elsewhere. Older hitters saw a surprising rise in home runs as well.
Even those who should be well into a
decline in the power department.
The home run totals for players
31 and older have steadily trended
downward since the end of the steroid era, considered to be 2006 with
the introduction of MLB's drug testing reforms. In 2015 however, those
veterans hit 320 more home runs
than 2014 while posting the high-
est year-over-year increase in home
runs per plate appearance for that
demographic since the 1993 (plus-24
percent), 1994 (plus-18 percent) and
1996 (plus-22 percent) seasons.
A sudden and rapid appreciation
by this group is unlikely, to say the
least. The findings of MLB aging
curve studies are consistent: players
get worse as they get older. In a study
by Jeff Zimmerman of FanGraphs,
players from 1995 to 2005 showed a
steady increase in home run production before tapering off after their
30th birthday. From 2006 to 2013, the
curve changed to a consistent decline
that began closer to age 25. In other
words, in the post-PED era, a player's
power production is immediately on
the downswing after he hits his 24th
or 25th birthday.
This wasn't the case last season,
when the game's elder statesmen were
turning back the clock. The poster
child, or geezer, for this group is the
New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez,
who turned 40 last season but hit 33
home runs (5.3 percent of his plate
appearances) after missing the entire
2014 season for violating the league's
performance enhancing drugs policy.
In the preceding three seasons, he
managed homers in just 3.6 percent
of his plate appearances from 2011 to
2013 combined, never hitting more
than 18 in a season.
Age 31-plus players Joe Mauer, Ben
Zobrist, Robinson Cano, Shin-Soo
Choo, Torii Hunter, Ryan Howard
and Albert Pujols all saw year-overyear improvement in terms of home
runs per plate appearance. Pujols,
at 35 years old, hit 40 home runs in
2015, his highest total since 2010.
Nelson Cruz, the league's sole member of the 40-home run club in 2014,
hit 44 home runs in 2015 despite
making less contact, pulling the ball
less and hitting fewer fly balls. He
turned 35 in April.
Those final notes about Cruz's season add another league-wide layer to
the mystery, regardless of age: While
more balls are leaving the yard, play-
ers aren't making more contact, nor
did we see an increase in the quality
of that contact.
Scott Spratt of Baseball Info Solutions, a firm that provides data to major league baseball teams, has video
scouts designate every batted ball as
either soft, medium or hard.
In 2013, 30.5 percent of batted balls
were classified as "hard," 29.1 percent
in 2014. So, the 29 percent of batted
balls classified as "hard" in 2015 is a
continuation of a two-year decline. In
addition, there were fewer fly balls hit
last season (33.8 percent of all batted
balls, the lowest on record), yet more
of those fly balls cleared the fences for
a home run.
Perhaps one explanation is the approach of modern hitters. In part fueled by baseball's analytic revolution,
teams have deemphasized the negative impact of a strikeout, encouraging hitters to swing hard and for
power. One MLB executive theorized
that emphasis has helped breed more
power hitters in the game, particularly among young players.
"Organizations are valuing guys
with a specific type of swing and approach," the executive said in a phone
interview. "That's why when solid
contact is made, there is higher bat
speed and higher exit velocity. That's
why you are seeing a home run-to-fly
ball ratio that is a little more significant."
Combine this approach with better information and hitters are better
prepared than ever to smash a home
run.
"I'd put it [the home run spike]
more on the advancements we are
making," the executive said. "Teams
are smarter, more information is
available and there are philosophical
shifts happening all over baseball. We
have the tools to analyze everything
now and we are valuing things differently."
Harder swings combined with better insights regarding pitch placement
and type would definitely impact
home run rates. As would the trend
Get Ready for Winter
of hitters willing to take a few strikes
in order to key in on a pitch they can
crush.
"It's a mindset," said one MLB
scout. "Guys are taking more pitches,
getting themselves into counts where
they are trying to drive the ball. There
is a concerted effort on the hitter's
part to do that."
But why is the home run spike only
coming now when the advancements
in scouting reports and the emphasis
on power over contact have been in
the game for years?
"Guys that don't have those specific
characteristics are being filtered out
of the game," the executive said. "And
the cream is rising to the top."
Maybe it's a little bit of everything?
While no single factor provides a
clear cut answer for the home run
surge, the best explanation may be a
perfect storm. Combine the increases
due to park effects, warmer temperatures, a generational rookie class, better informed hitters who are swinging
harder than ever and the paring down
of the game's elder demographic to its
best power hitters and it's reasonable
to believe that combination could
produce the 723-homer spike in 2015.
But perhaps there is one more
cause. The biggest culprit might be
expectations.
After a nosedive in the home run
department in 2014, we would expect some sort of progression back to
"normal" levels in 2015. In the nine
seasons since the end of the steroid
era in 2006 to 2014, major leaguers
have averaged 4,801 home runs per
season. In other words, if 2014 hadn't
been such an abysmal year for home
runs and was instead an average year
for long balls, the 2015 uptick would
have been just 108, a mere blip we'd
hardly notice.
Though it may not satisfy conspiracy theorists, a simple progression
back to the post-PED era mean, combined with the variety of other factors
above might just be the best theory to
explain the single biggest home run
spike since steroids swept through
clubhouses in the 1990s.

Caring for a Handicapped
Pet
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: We have two dogs
that we adopted from shelters: "Kylie," a beautiful greyhound who is missing one front leg, and
"Zu-zu," a toy poodle, who is about age 16 and is
almost completely blind.
I'm writing to let readers know that caring
for pets with physical challenges can be expensive and challenging. They need to know what
they're in for before adopting a challenged dog.
We wouldn't trade our two "kids" for the
world. Kylie is quiet and very determined even
though walking can be tough for her. Zu-zu is
yappy and can get anxious when she's home
alone, but is loyal and loving.
Both have additional physical issues that
require more trips to the vet, extra medicines,
1. Who released "Be-Bop Baby," and when?
2. Which group released "Electricland"?
3. Who wrote and recorded "See the Funny
Little Clown" in 1963?
4. Name the artist who wrote and released "Song
Sung Blue."
5. What song contains this lyric: "My father sits
at night with no lights on, His cigarette glows
in the dark. The living room is still; I walk by,
no remark"?
Answers
1. Ricky Nelson, in 1957. The rockabilly song
went to No. 3 on the charts, but it's said that
Nelson hated the song so much he eventually
refused to play it.
2. Bad Company, in 1982. It was written by one
of the original members, Paul Rodgers. Although in and out of the group over the years,
Rodgers currently is back in.
3. Bobby Goldsboro, of "Honey" fame. The "brokenhearted guy laughing on the outside, crying
on the inside" song spent nine weeks on the Hot
100 chart.
4. Neil Diamond, in 1972.
5. "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should
Be," by Carly Simon in 1971. The song tells of a
woman who hesitates to marry because she sees
her parents and friends all getting divorced. The
song netted Simon her first Grammy nomination, for vocals.

bit.
Please let your readers know to be aware of
the challenge they take on when they adopt dogs
with illnesses or handicaps.
-- Karen H., Conway, New Hampshire
DEAR KAREN: You told them, and I thank
you! Caring for challenged dogs can be incredibly rewarding, but also difficult. They can have
both physical and emotional issues, particularly
if they've experienced past trauma, neglect or
abuse.
Before adopting a pet, ask plenty of questions
of both shelter supervisors about a pet's known
past, its behaviors and what its treatment may
cost. Talk to a vet ahead of time about the care
and commitment that may be required. When
you're prepared to care for a challenged pet,
you'll be able to create a supportive home for
them.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might
feel more encouraged about changes in your
personal and/or professional life. However, it
might be best not to rush things but rather work
with them as they evolve.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine's
business sense is especially keen this week.
But remember that it's always best to investigate before investing. Make sure there are no
hidden factors that can rise up later on.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Working on a
family project could create tension between and
among those concerned. Your good sense and
your patience can help reduce bad attitudes and
raise positive feelings.
The following is a courtroom exchange between a defense attorney
and a farmer with a bodily injury
claim. It came from a Houston,
Texas insurance agent.
Attorney:
"At the scene of the accident, did
you tell the constable you had never felt better in your life?"
Farmer:
"That's right."
Attorney:
"Well, then, how is it that you are
now claiming you were seriously
injured when my client's auto hit
your wagon?"
Farmer:
"When the constable arrived, he
went over to my horse, who had a
broken leg, and shot him. Then he
went over to Rover, my dog, who
was all banged up, and shot him.
When he asked me how I felt, I just
thought under the circumstances,
it was a wise choice of words to
say." ■
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You should
be seeing more progress in the development
of your plans and more supporters joining in.
News from the past could help change someone's long-held position.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) With personal
aspects strong this week, Leos and Leonas
might want to spend more time with family and
others who are especially close to them. Also expect news of a possible career change.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Taking a strong stand can be helpful this week. But
be careful you don't cross the line into obstinacy. Best to take a position on facts as they are,
not as you want them to be.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You
have a strong sense of the needs of others. This
week, turn some of that sensitivity into an honest self-appraisal, and let it find places where
you can help yourself.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
Creating an emotional comfort zone to handle a
personal problem helps at first. But by midweek,
you'll realize you need to deal with it directly or
it could linger for too long.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Turning the page on a mistake to start
fresh might not be the thing to do. Better to go
over each step that led up to the decision you
made and see which one misled you.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) Goats enjoy a varied diet, but eating crow
isn't on the menu -- at least not this week. An
embarrassing situation might have gone wrong
before you got into it. Check it out.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Your sense of honesty might impel you to speak
up about a situation you disapprove of. That's
fine. But do so without sounding accusatory.
You might not know all the facts behind it.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Being
asked to create a reassuring attitude in the middle of chaos isn't easy, but you can do it. Support
for your efforts comes slowly, but it does come.
Enjoy an arts-filled weekend.

Prayerful Thoughts
By Linda Childs
Exclusive to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
As I have striven over the years to grow and improve in my walk with You,
building the close personal relationship that I am blessed to enjoy with You, I
have heard it said many times that to do this thoroughly, there is no substitute
for spending time in the Word. I have learned much about it over these years,
hearing it from the pulpit and Bible studies, and even read the Bible cover-tocover. However, lately You have repeatedly been finding ways to let me know
that this is not enough—a good beginning, but not enough. I am ready for the
next level.
You have been showing me through preachers and through the content of
some verses on the subject from the Bible itself, that I must keep reading the
Word, as one can read the same thing they have seen many times yet get something different from it each time. You have shown me that I should take the
Word in small doses, studying a particular passage, meditating on it and thinking about what it means and how I can incorporate it into my way of life. This is
like chewing your food thoroughly to get the most out of it, rather than gulping
it down and swallowing it whole without ever having really tasted it.
I must admit, I have been hesitant about reading the Word, and I had excuses.
I didn't feel that I could understand the old text very well, and often had no idea
what a given passage meant. I thought, as many people do, that it is a bunch
of old, dry text without much in the way of meaning, or pertinence to life in
today’s world. You showed me that there are quite a few options of Bibles with
more modern verbiage, even some which help one understand what was meant
by a certain passage.
Also, as with many people these days, I lead a very busy life, long on work and
short on time, or so I thought. But You showed me that this is not putting You
first. One preacher said that we find time for what we want to find time for. I
must admit that this is true, at least to a large extent. I had already developed a
habit long ago of spending time with You each morning, before I start my day.
I also have been working for a while now on turning to You in prayer before
taking a step, even asking You in small things what You think I should do. Thus
I thought I was already putting You first. But I am learning that there are many
ways of doing this, and these are but a few. I doubt I shall ever know them all,
never mind master them all. Nevertheless, this is the area in which You are currently working with me, the next lesson in Your plan to teach me. And as with
all things on which You work with me, it is very much worth the effort! I have
also found, much to my amazement, that when I make the effort to spend time
with You, You help me have enough time to do what else You have put before
me. Who but our beloved Creator could do this?!
So I have started studying the Word, this time in a new Bible which I can better understand. And lo and behold, it does indeed contain much wisdom and
insight into Your ways and how to get so much more out of life, living the way
You would have us live. But it goes much further than this. The Bible helps me
deal with various situations, is helping me to reduce my stress level, improve
my patience, further increase my awareness of You in my day-to-day life, and
so much more.
Part of the purpose of repeatedly studying the Word is so that it will become
so well known to us that it will become embedded in our minds and souls.
Then whenever a situation arises, Your words on the subject will come to us,
guiding our actions and decisions. I now realize that this is one more part of
Your tenet that we should continually renew our minds, another way, a very
important way in which we can accomplish this.
Furthermore, I have come to realize that, as I have also heard many times,
indeed I can turn to the Bible for guidance on a particular subject. I can look
in the back of the Bible, or even do an online search for verses pertinent to a
particular issue or topic.
I now realize that there is so much to learn, so many revelations to be had
from delving into and studying Your Word, that again, it will be a lifetime pursuit. This pursuit, as with all such efforts to know You better and improve myself as a child of God, is likely to bring many blessings and greatly enrich my
life, as well as bring more opportunities to be of service to You and a blessing
to those around me. As this is my deepest desire in life, that is wonderful news
to me!
Amen

Cathedral in Nagasaki, Site of
Atomic Bombing, Is a Sacred
Place for Christianity in Japan
By Toshimitsu Miyai
The New York Eagle News/ The
Japan News/ Yomiuri
U
rakami Cathedral in Nagasaki city is a sacred place for
Christianity in Japan. The
size of the stately cathe-dral with its
two towers and its congregation of
about 7,000 people are both the largest in Japan. In addi-tion, its history
of suffering gives it a special kind of
sanctity.
In 1584, the Urakami district was
donated by a feudal lord Arima Harunobu to the Society of Jesus, which
was aimed at promoting Christianity
in Japan.
However, the Christians of Urakami were suppressed during what was
called the Urakami crackdowns, following the anti-Christianity movements in the Edo period (1603-1867)
by the Tokugawa shogunate and the
government in the early Meiji era
(1868-1912), resulting in the deaths
of many Christians.
However, as the government in
the Meiji era reversed its position on
Christianity, Christian believers spent
30 years stacking bricks one-by-one
on a hill where Christians had once
been forced to tread on tablets bearing an image of Christ to test whether
they were Christians during the Edo
period, and built the 25 me-ter-high
(about 82 feet) cathedral, which was
said to have been the tallest in the
East.
But the cathedral was reduced to
rubble 20 years later on Aug. 9, 1945,
by the atomic bombing of Nagasa-ki.
Urakami Cathedral was rebuilt to meet wishes of Christians in Nagasaki, Japan. (Photo credit: Hiroaki
Ono / The Japan News/ Yomiuri)
The atomic bomb is said to have
killed 8,500 of the 12,000 Christians
in the Urakami district.
After the war, the believers from
Urakami Cathedral and others
toughed it out in temporary shelters
to continue to give donations that
enabled the cathedral to be rebuilt in
1959.
Although many members of the
Nagasaki city council claimed the
city should preserve the old collapsed
Matthew 4:4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our

Travel Q & A
: What destinations should I
set flight alerts for to catch
inexpensive, last-minute, international flights?
A: I don't think there are specific
destinations that are best for last-minute fares. But there are international
destinations that offer traditionally
lower fares. In Europe, that includes
destinations served by discount carriers, such as Reykjavik, Iceland, and
Istanbul. Cities in Central America,
including San Jose, Costa Rica, and
Guatemala City, are often fairly reasonable. South African Airways offers
frequent sales to Johannesburg. Porter Airlines has cheap fares to Eastern
Canada.
— Carol Sottili
Q: I have never purchased trip insurance before. I was looking on insuremytrip.com. I'm overwhelmed!
Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
A: It can be overwhelming. Insuremytrip.com is a solid operation — no
reader complaints. You'll probably
want to choose between a "named
exclusion" policy and a "cancel for
any reason" policy. The former has
exclusions for things like pre-existing
medical conditions and mental illness; the latter will pay a percentage
of your trip (usually 80 percent) when
you cancel, and you don't have to tell
the insurance company why.
— Christopher Elliott
Q: Is it worth doing a day trip from
Phoenix to the Grand Canyon? The
map says it's a 3 1/2-hour drive, but
I'm wondering whether it's longer.
A: The Grand Canyon is phenomenal, but you don't want to rush it.
If you have only a day, I am not sure
driving seven hours is worth it, especially if you want to explore both rims
and hike around.
That said, the interstate can get
pretty busy, so you might be in the car
for an extra hour or two.

to younger generations the horrors of

Tsutomu Tagawa, the mayor of
the city at that time who originally
favored preserving the cathedral remains, changed his mind after visiting St. Paul, Minn., with which Nagasaki city established a sister-city tie, at
the invitation of the U.S. city.
Tsuyoshi Takase, an author from
Nagasaki, said in his book "Nagasaki

ble figuring out where I want to go. A
couple specific questions: Is India safe
enough for a single female traveler to
get around on her own, or should I
do some sort of tour? And is there a
way to narrow down where to go in
Africa? I know I want to go to South
Africa, but do you have any advice on
what other countries to see?
A: Going solo vs. with a group all
depends on your comfort level and
familiarity with traveling in destinations where women may be targeted
for harassment or at the very least intense stares. I traveled around Delhi
by myself, but I signed up for a morning tour to get oriented. Per my hotel's advice, I didn't go out at night,
even though the area around my hotel was filled with people. The moral
of the story: You will have more freedoms with a tour. And you can always
break away from the group for a bit
of independent exploration once you
know the cities better.
I would suggest adding Namibia to
your list. I loved it! It is an easy flight
from Johannesburg.

Q: We are thinking about going to
Vienna, and I've been a little bummed
about the cost and scheduling of
flights. There are, of course, many
more- and less-expensive flights to
the "big" airports. Any ideas about
coming into Germany and taking the
train? Is it a big hassle? A long trip?
Any other quick thoughts about other
routings?
A: Vienna is a notoriously expensive airport. When I lived there, we
flew out of Munich, Frankfurt and,
if memory serves, Luxembourg.
The train ride isn't that bad, but you
have to imagine yourself making the
trip after a long international flight.
You're jet lagging. By the time you get
to Vienna, you want to sleep for two
days. But we saved a lot of money. Ah,
memories!

Q: Friends just got engaged and are
considering a destination wedding to
an all-inclusive. Any resort or even
cathedral because it did not want to
leave evidence of having dropped an
atomic bomb over a church.
But Shigemi Fukahori, 84, an adviser to the cathedral who lost his four
brothers and sisters in the atomic
bombing, says: "Rebuilding the cathedral was our ardent wish. There was
no way of rebuilding it anywhere else
but here, where our ancestors shed
blood and tears for more than 200
years."
About 20 Christians were in the
midst of the "sacrament of confession," a ritual to confess your sins to
the priest, when the atomic bomb was
dropped.

just island suggestions? They don't
know where to start!
A: That is a very personal choice,
and couples often pick a place that
they wish to honeymoon in as well.
Jamaica and the Dominican Republic
are popular destination wedding sites,
but honestly they feel like I Do factories to me. I would consider a smaller
island, such as St. John or Nevis. Your
friends also need to research marriage requirements for foreigners,
which an island wedding planner can
help with. They should also consider
their guests, who will have to pay for
the air and hotel and will need a passport for non-US territories.

Q: Any thoughts on a warm destination for the summer that won't carry significant Zika risk? For personal
reasons, we're not interested in Hawaii, and we're hoping for something
a little more exotic than Florida. Bermuda? The Galapagos? The Canary
Islands?
A: Belize isn't on the CDC's list of
affected countries nor is Cuba. The
Galapagos Islands are amazing, of
course, but summertime is crazy hot
for all of these destinations.
— Andrea Sachs
Q: I'd like to take a four or five
day getaway somewhere warm with
my adult son. We have never been
to Puerto Rico. Is it easy to plan activities, such as a visit to the National
Park there, without a car? Suggestions
for where to stay? We are happy to
walk and want just a few days downtime.
A: I assume that you are staying
in San Juan. If so, most visitors base
themselves in Old San Juan or in a
resort near Condado Beach – it all
depends on your taste in scenery and
scene. You will find lots of choices
in various budget categories, from
simple budget to expensive luxury.
An in-town favorite is El Convento,
an elegant hotel in a restored 17thcentury convent. Most of the beach
resorts have similar amenities, such
as pools, bars, restaurants, beach access, etc. The hotels typically have an
activities desk where you can book
outings. You can also book online in
advance.

Corned Beef
Brisket With
Cabbage
by Angela Shelf Medearis
Summary:
Corned beef and cabbage is a favorite
meal on St. Patrick's Day, but some
folks may want to cut back on the fat
and calories. Brisket is naturally high
in fat, but there are ways to reduce it.
One way is to trim away any excess
fat from the meat before it is cooked.
Another is to cook the meat a day
ahead of time and refrigerate it. Once
the meat cools, the fat will harden and
can be skimmed off.
Ingredients:
• 2 stalks celery, halved
nyeaglenews.com
• 4 carrots
• 1 medium onion, cut in 4 wedges
• 1 4-pound corned beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons steak sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 to 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon corned beef spices
or pickling spices (or spices that come
with the brisket)
• 1 medium head cabbage, cut into
6 wedges
• Grainy mustard for serving
Steps:
1. Place celery, carrots and onion in
the bottom of a large slow-cooker or
crock pot. Rinse the corned beef brisket.
Season brisket and vegetables with the
steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and
salt and pepper. Place the brisket on top
of the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth
until it barely covers the brisket. Cover
and cook on low for eight to nine hours.
2. Remove the meat and vegetables
from the pot and cover with foil to keep
warm. Increase heat to high and add the
cabbage to the slow cooker. Cook cabbage until softened but still crispy, about
20 to 30 minutes.
3. Remove any excess fat from the brisket. Slice brisket across the grain. Serve
with the vegetables and the mustard
and a side of the low-fat buttermilk
mashed potatoes. Remove any excess fat
from the cooking liquid. Pass the extra
cooking liquid at the table. Serves 6 to 8.

Soda Bread
Summary:
This rich and tender rustic Irish quick
bread is the ideal dinner companion for
corned beef.
Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons cold margarine or
butter
• 1 cup golden or dark seedless
raisins
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease large
cookie sheet.
2. In large bowl, combine sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and 4
cups flour. With pastry blender or 2
knives used scissor-fashion, cut in
margarine or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With spoon,
stir in raisins, then buttermilk just
until evenly moistened.
3. With floured hand, gently knead
dough in bowl a few times until
dough forms a ball (do not overmix, or bread will be tough). Place
dough on cookie sheet; shape into a
7-inch round loaf (dough will not be
smooth).
4. Sprinkle loaf with remaining 1/2
teaspoon flour. With sharp knife,
cut 4-inch-long cross, about 1/4 inch

Separating
Egg Yolks
Many recipes call for egg whites
or egg yolks, which means the eggs
must be separated. Eggs separate
most easily when cold. You can use
an egg separator, but the half-shell
method works just as well.
To separate an egg, on the side of a
bowl, sharply tap the eggshell along
its middle to make a crosswise crack.
With your thumbs, gently pull open
the shell along the crack, letting some
of the white run into the bowl. Slowly
transfer the yolk back and forth from
one half-shell to the other, being
careful not to break the yolk on any
sharp shell edges, until all the white
has run into the bowl.
Cover leftover unbroken egg yolks
with cold water (to prevent a skin
from forming on the surface) and
refrigerate for up to two days; drain
before using.

There will be 150 million connected
cars circulating globally in 2016 and
more than 800 million by 2023, according to predictions by Analysis
Mason.
As software innovation continues
to evolve quickly around a network of
connected objects, from refrigerators
to drones, how long carmakers can
upkeep older vehicles will be key in
avoiding future threats from hackers
and cybercriminals. Lessons from the
computer software world show Microsoft Corp. had to extend support
for its Windows XP operating system,
including security patches, beyond
the initially projected 10-year mark
because too many people were still
using the old software.
"Some carmakers are ahead of others" already, said Jerome Robert, chief
marketing officer at Lexsi, a security

to help identify vulnerabilities. "Security is as good as it gets in recent allelectric models, but in older cars, the
ones with electronics here and there,
it's not great."
For suppliers, competition is tough.
Software for cars is attracting resources from companies as varied
as Google and Jerusalem-based Mobileye. Ericsson says it can transpose
decades of developing network-security technology for mobile carriers.
Meanwhile, NXP and Gemalto have
built a reputation by helping secure
banking transactions, mobile phones
and electronic passports.
