he sprawling chemical
plant in Ludwigshafen,
Germany, a city along
the Rhine River, has been a
jewel of Germany's manufacturing-led economy for more
than a century. But the plunging price of natural gas in the
United States has European
companies setting sail across
the Atlantic to stay competitive.
German chemicals giant
BASF, which operates the plant
here, has announced plans for
wide-ranging expansion in
the United States, where natural gas prices have fallen to a
quarter of those in Europe,
largely because of American
innovations in unlocking shale
gas.
Among those most affected
are energy-intensive industries
such as steel and chemicals,
because they use natural gas
as a raw material and power
source. With Europe lagging

in energy production, manufacturers on the continent
warn that a chain reaction
could shift more and more investment to U.S. shores.
"It's become clear, with
the drop in gas and electricity prices in the United States,
that we are, at the moment, at
a significant disadvantage with
our competitors," said Gordon
Moffat, director general of Eurofer, the main lobbying group
for European steel manufacturers.

Taylor's great-grandson
caught a cold, he also ended up
having a severe asthma attack.
Taylor, a retired nurse, spent
many hours at a hospital, helping to hold the toddler for tests
and breathing treatments, and
wondering what was causing
the attacks.
The one thing Taylor never
suspected was that something
inside the Falls Church, Va.,
Cape Cod that she shares with
her granddaughter and greatgrandson was a source of the
3-year-old's medical problems.
It turned out that mold and
mildew from years of shampooing the decades-old carpet were aggravating the little
boy's respiratory system.
The carpeting was replaced
with wood flooring through

determined by the EPA.
The trouble is that many homeowners and renters aren't

advice to heart, a number of
seniors are flocking to laughter yoga — an exercise that
encourages people to laugh

Despite its name, laughter
yoga does not actually require
practitioners to bend and contort their bodies into difficult
poses. Developed in 1995 by
an Indian doctor and his wife,
the exercise only requires people to take deep breaths while
doing simple yoga poses.

and Germany. According to

green-friendly policies that critics say
are contributing to the energy-price
gap.
Here in Ludwigshafen, many people
view the United States as the land of
the future. Since 2009, BASF has
channeled more than $5.7 billion into
new investments in North America,
including a formic acid plant under
construction in Louisiana, where the
company will manufacture a chemical used to de-ice runways, tan leather
and preserve animal feed.
Top BASF officials say that unless Europe allows a more aggressive approach to energy production,
including broader use of hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, even more
manufacturing will move to the United States. Fracking involves injecting high-pressure blasts of water and
chemicals into a well to break apart
rock and unlock the gas inside.
"It's a very slow process, but it's a
continuous one," said Harald Schwager, the head of BASF's European operations, referring to the manufacturing outflow. "Once a customer of ours
decides to build a new factory in the
U.S., then this customer will request
from us to be close by with our production. And so, over time, you see a
self-accelerating process, which will
move production into the U.S."
The company's Ludwigshafen complex, a warren of spaghetti-twisting
pipes and chimneys that makes
chemicals for a variety of products
such as diapers, foam and car parts, is
expanding slightly. Few of the 38,000
workers at the plant, spread over a
site eight times as large as the Mall in
Washington, see any immediate danger to their jobs. But nervous union
officials view the expansion in the
United States as a threat.
"Normally these would be good
times right now. But we look into
the future, and the prognosis is not
so positive," said Robert Oswald, the
head of BASF's union. "If the energy

laxed at the Greenspring retirement
community in Springfield. "But also a
sad life. There isn't a day goes by that
I don't think about my parents and
the rest of my family. But considering that when I was 19 I didn't think I
would make it to 20, and now I'm 93
and I'm still talking? Unbelievable."
Stein's memory is undimmed, his
vision of watching Adolf Hitler ride
down Vienna's Ringstrasse as the
Germans marched into Austria as
clear as it was in March 1938. His
unspooling of the details of that dark
time is the only way his implausible
tale makes sense.
Stein's parents, Eugene and Cecilia
Stein, were born in Romania. They
settled in Austria after World War I
but never bothered to obtain citizenship documents. In the fall of 1937,
when Charles Stein was 17 and wanted to attend the University of Vienna
to study medicine, he had no family
papers to prove his Austrian residency. He would have to pay a far higher
tuition.
"I thought I was an Austrian," he
said, "but at this point I was stateless."
He applied for Austrian documents,
but because of his parents' heritage,
he was given an identification booklet
that marked him as an "Auslander" —
a foreigner. This turned out to be his
lifeline around Nazi persecution and
out of Austria.
After the Nazis annexed Austria
in 1938, Stein witnessed numerous
episodes of Jews being harassed or
humiliated or having their businesses
seized. When confronted by storm
troopers, he was able to produce his
auslander identification and would be
released.
"It's time to start packing," he told
his parents after watching crowds
with raised arms saluting Hitler.
"We've got to get out of here."
But the impending horror wasn't
clear to his parents. "In their minds, a
family was settled," Stein said. "They
were not going to move out. 'We'll see
what happens,' they said."
Stein and his friends began visiting
foreign embassies in hopes of getting
visas. "They all told us where to go,"
he recalled. He said the U.S. Embassy
was different, but people there explained that the boys needed a sponsor in America in order to immigrate.
When Stein returned home one
day, his mother told him that two of
his former classmates, now in brown
Nazi uniforms, had come looking for
him.
"I went into hiding," he said. "I
didn't go home anymore."
Through friends, Stein heard that
Luxembourg was granting students
14-day transit visas. Stein said that he
ran all the way to the Luxembourgian
Embassy and soon had a visa. He sent
word to his parents to bring a gym
bag of his clothes and meet him at the
train station.
When he saw his parents, his mother had brought his gym bag and his
violin, which he had played since he

aware of the link between their housing and their health. Radon exposure,
for example, has no immediate symptoms. Carbon monoxide poisoning
can initially resemble the flu. And
exposure to some toxins may be confused with seasonal allergies.
"In our cars, we have oil and check
engine lights," says Rebecca Morley,
executive director of the National
Center for Healthy Housing. "There's
no such light for a house."
A federal interagency body called
the Healthy Homes Work Group released a report, "Advancing Healthy
Housing: A Strategy for Action," in
February, with the goal of reducing
the number of homes with health and
safety hazards over the next five years.
But, federal officials and experts say,
a reduction in illness and accidents
depends heavily on consumers being vigilant about the dangers in their
homes.
"People spend more time looking
at the kitchen countertops than they
do at issues that can cause serious
health problems," says Nancy Harvey
Steorts, a realty agent in Virginia and
author of "Your Home Safe Home."
"There are so many elements to
having a home that's truly safe," says
Steorts, former chairman of the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission. "Many consumers think that
they don't have anything to worry
about."
Even Steorts, an expert in home
safety, had a problem when she lived
in Dallas. It started with a sore throat
and escalated to symptoms of a heart
attack. The problem stemmed from
glue in the padding of carpet that had
been recently installed, she says.

was 6. "I couldn't take that with me,"
he said. "But I couldn't argue with my
mother. We were in tears anyway. So I
said, 'OK, I'll take it.' "
The 18-year-old Stein boarded the
train. He never saw his parents again.
In a scene straight out of the movies, Nazi soldiers boarded the train as
it neared Luxembourg's border and
demanded, "All Jews out!"
Stein said that he and a friend were
the only two. They were taken to a
separate car and interviewed. After
telling a soldier that he intended to
continue studying medicine, he was
released. Two minutes later, he was
out of Austria.
Stein supported himself as a musician. He maintained contact with his
parents through postcards. But in
1939, his parents were removed from
their Vienna home, and the postcards
stopped.
Meanwhile, Stein made contact
with a distant cousin of his mother in
New York. He was granted a visa and,
in December 1939, rode a cruise ship
to America. He lived in the Bronx,
worked in the textile business and
filed notice of his intention to obtain
U.S. citizenship.
home," Steorts says.
Could your house be making you
sick? Here are some common household hazards and some tips on how
you can address them:
Building materials
Asbestos and arsenic have been removed from most new building materials, but Morley and other health
advocates are wary of the lack of testing and regulation of building materials.
In recent years, VOCs, short for
volatile organic compounds — found
in paints and formaldehyde and in
the glue used to make some furniture,
cabinets and wood paneling — have
been a focus of health concerns.
In 2010, President Barack Obama
signed into law a measure limiting
formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. But the rules
haven't taken effect yet.
Exposure to formaldehyde can
cause burning sensations in the eyes
and throat, and difficulty in breathing. It can also cause cancer, according to government scientists. Exposure to VOCs can cause headaches,
loss of coordination, nausea, and
damage to the liver, kidneys and central nervous system.
Experts recommend choosing lowVOC paints, carpet and flooring and
removing paint thinners and other
chemicals from homes. A qualified
home inspector can point out possible dangers in building materials,
including the presence of asbestos in
insulation, lead in plumbing fixtures
and formaldehyde in paneling or
cabinets. While it may not be possible
to identify all materials visually, an
inspector can tell you what was common, based on the age of your home.
Radon
Except for secondhand smoke, ra
don is the single most prevalent and
deadly home health issue for children, Paulson says.
About 21,000 lung cancer deaths —
more than the number of drunkendriving deaths — can be linked to radon exposure, according to the EPA.
A radon test — ranging from about
$13 for a do-it-yourself kit to $150 for
a professional test — should be part of
a home inspection, experts say.
If radon levels are elevated, the
problem is easily corrected with a
pressurized system that keeps radon
from seeping through the home's
foundation.
Mold and pests
Plumbing leaks and poor insulation
are the main cause of mold and pests,
says Steorts.
Some materials, such as synthetic
stucco, are easy to puncture and may
allow moisture to seep in, says Vimal
Kapoor, president of the Building
Inspector of America, based in Germantown.
An alarm should go off, he says, "if
you feel better when you're out of the
house."
Mold tends to worsen respiratory
illnesses, induce asthma attacks and
irritate eyes and nasal passages, according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Some studies also suggest more severe effects,
including flu-like symptoms.
More surprisingly, cockroaches
can be potential triggers of asthma
symptoms among children allergic to
them, says Stephen Teach, an emergency room physician at Children's
National Medical Center who also
runs the asthma clinic.
Decomposing cockroach bodies
and their excrement easily become
airborne, and can be inhaled into the
bronchial tubes.
In September 1941, Stein received
a draft notice from the Army, and
within weeks he was enlisted in the
artillery. He received his U.S. citizenship in 1942. And in 1943, when the
Army realized he spoke the enemy's
language, he was sent to intelligence
training. By early 1944, Stein was
working in Europe as an interrogator
of German prisoners.
On June 6, 1944, Stein's intelligence
team sat on a boat off the coast as Allied infantry landed in Normandy,
France. By that afternoon, he had
made the shore. He soon was doing
field interrogations.
"I was up with the infantry," Stein
said. "I squeezed [the prisoners] for
everything they knew. The only ones
who resisted were the young officers."
By 1945, Stein was with the 9th Infantry Division in Bavaria and asked
for permission to go to Vienna to
search for his parents. But he was told
Vienna was under Russian control.
Permission denied.
The following year, after the war's
end, Stein connected with a Jewish
organization that had tried to track
Jewish prisoners. He learned that his
parents had been deported to Lodz,
Poland, in October 1941. "They do
not appear on any survivor lists," a
letter informed Stein.
Stein stayed in the Army, translating documents for the Nuremberg
war crimes commission and then doing a stint in Korea during the Korean
War. He met his wife, Barbara, an Air
Force member from Iowa, at a base
in Japan in 1953. They were married
in 1954 and had three sons and seven
grandchildren, all of whom live in
Northern Virginia.
The Steins moved to Vienna, Va., in
1963, and Stein joined the State Department in 1965. He retired in 1978.
His wife passed away in 2003.
In the summer of 1993, Stein read
that the Holocaust Museum was looking for volunteers. He has worked in
visitor services ever since and is at the
donations desk every Friday.
In 1995, Stein made an appointment with the museum's archivist. He
asked whether the museum had any
information about the Lodz ghetto.
He learned that investigators had
recently recovered German records
from the Polish army. Stein was given
five large volumes to pore through.
In there, a son discovered the fate
of his parents. In January 1942, Austrians in Lodz were being selected for
"work" and placed in large window__________________

Other household allergens include
dust mites and grease.
Every six months, look for signs of
pests and mold and mildew. If you are
suspicious about toxins or mold, have
an air quality test, experts say.
Carbon monoxide
When the carbon monoxide detector went off in her Arlington, Va.,
rental, Morley and her roommates
unplugged it. Like many, they assumed the problem was with the detector.
They were wrong.
Because carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, too often, homeowners don't realize there's a problem.
After comparing symptoms of
headaches and nausea, Morley and
her roommates plugged back in the
detector, which sounded a piercing
alarm. The fire department confirmed
high carbon monoxide levels. Faulty
appliances were to blame.
"It was scary," says Morley, who was
treated with oxygen at the hospital.
Exposure can cause a range of flulike symptoms, including headaches,
dizziness and nausea. But carbon
monoxide exposure also can be fatal.
Each year, more than 400 deaths are
blamed on CO poisoning, according
to the CDC.
Gas fireplaces, furnaces, generators
and appliances cause most carbon
monoxide leaks, says Steorts. She
recommends that her clients check
whether appliances have been recalled, and that appliances and heating and cooling systems be inspected
annually.
In addition to installing CO detectors, examine all seals around doors
and windows annually, paying close
attention to the door between house
and garage, because CO can leak into
homes from cars, Steorts says.
Lead
Paint companies began phasing
out lead-based paint in 1951 and
then banned it in 1978. Because it's
no longer used, says Barbara Moore,
manager of the Mount Washington
Pediatric Hospital Lead Clinic in Baltimore, Md., "most people think it's a
thing of the past."
However, because there are so many
older homes in the Washington area,
"we still have a problem with lead
poisoning," says Jerome A. Paulson, a
physician who is director of the MidAtlantic Center for Children's Health
and the Environment at Children's
National Medical Center in Washington.
Specks of dust flaking from window
sills and doors get on floors and toys.
Young children ingest the lead particles when they put their hands in
their mouths.
Owen Gray, a software engineer in
Baltimore, and his wife were cautious
about painted surfaces possibly containing lead in their 1890s rowhouse.
But they were surprised when a
stripped fireplace mantel tested positive for the toxic metal.
"It never occurred to us that would
be a problem," says Gray, whose toddler is being treated for elevated levels
of lead.
Lead exposure has been linked to
loss of IQ, learning difficulties and
developmental delays.
And while many homeowners are
warned about lead paint when they
buy a home (or rent one), they may
not take the risk seriously if they
don't have children at the time, Paulson says.
In addition to painted — and previously painted — surfaces, lead may
also be found in some vinyl tiles, window blinds and plumbing fixtures, including chrome-plated brass faucets.
In houses built before 1978, get a
lead test by certified inspector.
Contractors doing work that could
disturb lead paint such as sanding or
replacing windows should be certified by EPA-approved trainers.
Lead is among the issues that the
workgroup continues to make a priority. But more than that, says Matthew
Ammon, deputy director of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office on Healthy Homes
and Lead Hazard Control, "What it
represents is a change in mind-set, in
how we think about housing."
The report doesn't propose regulations, but it calls for federal agencies
— and there are more than nine involved — to work with each other and
with local governments, nonprofit
groups and communities, Ammon
says.
"This coordinated strategy is a big
first step," says Morley, adding that
she believes regulations are necessary.
The reason that 90 percent of homes
have smoke detectors is that they're
required by local codes, she says. "If
you rely solely on the voluntary action of property owners," says Morley,
"the consequences are lost lives."

in Spring 2012 for consideration in
communities where there is no existing Post Office or where the Post Office will have reduced hours. VPOs
are designed for non-Postal Service
establishments, such as an existing
community business, town hall, library or government center.
The Atlanta VPO operates in conjunction with normal library hours:
Monday through Friday - 10 a.m.- 12
noon and 1 - 5 p.m., also open Monday and Tuesday evenings 6 -8 p.m.
The Atlanta Post Office, 28 Main
Street, operates: Monday through Friday - 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Saturday
- 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Business establishments interested in applying for a contract with
the Postal Service to start a Village
Post Office in their local community
should contact: vpo.inquiry@usps.

provide.
“Noyes is fortunate to have Dianne

prior to injury or illness. The goal of
the Occupational Therapist is to help
people of all ages who need specialized assistance to lead independent,
productive, and satisfying lives due
to physical, developmental, social, or
emotional problems. Occupational
Therapists use the "occupations" of
self-care, work, and play/leisure activities to increase independence, en-
hance development, and/or prevent
disability. In the outpatient setting,
Occupational Therapists primarily
direct the emphasis of their care toward specializing in upper extremity
disorders. Many concentrate on hand
rehabilitation, and are particularly
skilled in hand, wrist and elbow disorders, including carpal tunnel, finger
joint replacement & crush injuries. ■

responded to a report of a car
fire at Boughton Park, Boughton Rd. on Sunday, April 7, 2013 at approximately 12:33 p.m.
Upon arrival they found an SUV

by Brett G. Shay, 50, of Canandaigua,
who was seated in the driver seat. The

The New York Eagle News/NYSP
termined that Mr. Shay was deceased.
The investigation by New York State
Police has determined that Mr. Shay
had just finished walking the family
dog and suffered a heart attack immediately after pulling out of his parking
spot to leave the park. The vehicle
proceeded on its own, without control
of the operator, driving itself into the
woods. A passerby discovered the vehicle fire about 20 minutes later. The
exact cause of the fire has not been
determined, but the origin appears to
be in the driver side engine compartment area. As the vehicle drove over
several saplings, Investigators believe
it likely a brake line or other engine
component was damaged, providing flammable liquids that combined
with engine heat to ignite the fire. An
autopsy by the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office determined
Mr.Shay had passed away prior to the
start of the fire. ■

Wine Production Seen

change prompts a shift in wine production to higher latitudes and elevations in New Zealand and the Northern Hemisphere, researchers said.
Suitable grape-growing areas may

a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences of the United States of

The study used 17 climate models
to estimate changes in suitability for
viticulture and the impact on water
use and natural habitat. Suitability for
wine output will also decline in the
Rhone Valley in France and Tuscany
by 2050, it said.
A growing and increasingly affluent
global population will probably boost
demand for wine and ensure that
grapes will be grown in current producing areas to the extent that land
and water allow, as well as expand
into new areas, the study said.

Cursive Handwriting Disappearing
From Public Schools
7
By T. Rees Shapiro and Sarah L. Voisin
T
he curlicue letters of cursive
handwriting, once considered
a mainstay of American elementary education, have been slowly
disappearing from classrooms for
years. Now, with most states adopting
new national standards that don't require such instruction, cursive could
soon be eliminated at most public
schools.
For many students, cursive is becoming as foreign as ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics. In college lecture halls,
more students take notes on laptops
and tablet computers than with pens
and notepads. Responding to handwritten letters from grandparents in
cursive is no longer necessary as they,
too, learn how to use email, Facebook
and Skype.
And educators, seeking to prepare
students for a successful future in
which computer and typing skills
have usurped penmanship, are finding cursive's relevance waning, especially with leaner school budgets and
curricula packed with standardized
testing prep. So they're opting not to
teach it anymore.
"It's seeing the writing on the wall,"
said Patricia Granada, principal at
Eagle View Elementary in Fairfax
County, Va. "Cursive is increasingly
becoming obsolete."
Michael Hairston, president of the
Fairfax Education Association, the
largest teachers union in the county,
called cursive "a dying art."
"Cursive writing is a traditional skill
that has been replaced with technol-

Md., where penmanship is rated on report cards through eighth grade; here fourth-grader Samuen Nguyen

ogy," Hairston said. "Educators are
having to make choices about what
they teach with a limited amount of
time and little or no flexibility. Much
of their instructional time is consumed with teaching to a standardized test."
Since 2010, 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the
Common Core standards, which do
not require cursive instruction but
leave it up to the individual states and
districts to decide whether they want
to teach it. A report the same year by
the Miami-Dade public school system found that cursive instruction
has been slowly declining nationwide
since the 1970s.
"The Common Core State Standards
allow communities and teachers to
make decisions at the local level about

Plague Draws Attention Amid Concern
That It Might Be Deployed by Terrorists
By Brendan Borrell
Special to The New York Eagle News/The Washington Post
I
saac Baniyo stumbled through
his final exam in English last
November as a pounding headache and chest pain made it difficult
for him to focus. Within days, his fever soared, and he was hacking up
bloody mucus. The dead rats in his
village should have been a warning
sign: Baniyo had caught pneumonic
plague, the contagious form of the
disease responsible for history's most
notorious epidemics, including the
Black Death of the 14th century.
Baniyo lives in a small village in
Uganda, but his case is of keen interest in the United States. In an era
of cheap air travel and international
terrorism, scientists and national
security experts are concerned that,
much like anthrax, plague could pose
a threat as a biological weapon.
"It's been on national lists as one of
the more serious biological agents for
a long time," says Tom Ingelsby, director of the Center for Biosecurity of
the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center. Plague bacteria lack the hard
spores that makes anthrax so durable,
but because it spreads so easily and
kills more than one-third of those it
infects in developing countries, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers it a Category A bioterrorism agent, alongside smallpox
and Ebola.
Traditional healer Marcelo Alipaco - surrounded by the skins of leopards and other animals used in his practice has been trained by CDC workers in Uganda to recognize plague and other illnesses. (Brendan Borrell.)
Plague as a biological weapon is not
new. During World War II, Japanese
planes reportedly dropped plagueinfected fleas over Chinese settlements, and scientists in the former
Soviet Union made large quantities
of plague, potentially including drugresistant varieties, for warfare.
According to the World Health Organization, about 100 pounds of aerosolized plague bacteria sprayed over a
city of 5 million might sicken 150,000
people, fueling an epidemic, particularly if antibiotics were in short supply.
Such an epidemic is exactly what
the CDC is trying to avert along the
Uganda-Congo border, where nature, not bioterrorism, spreads the
disease. According to epidemiologist Paul Mead of CDC's division of
vector-borne diseases in Fort Collins,
Colo., new diagnostic tools and drugs
will not only help Africans but also
will provide a bulwark in the event of
an outbreak or attack in the United
States.
"We're not going to completely
eliminate plague," Mead says, "but if
we can put out the fire early on, we
can reduce the deaths and economic
impact."
Plague has spread with humanity
and its rats to the burrows of prairie
dogs in the Southwest and up the Nile
River to remote corners of Africa. Far
from being consigned to the Middle
Ages, a 1994 outbreak in India resulted in 5,150 suspected plague cases
and 53 deaths, which led the CDC
to evaluate sick passengers arriving
in the United States from India. Today, more than 1,000 plague cases are
thought to occur globally each year,
with more than 95 percent of them in
Africa, particularly Uganda, Congo
and Madagascar.
The plague bacteria, Yersinia pestis,
typically makes the leap to humans as
infected rats die, forcing fleas to find
a new host. The best-known form of
the disease, bubonic plague, results
in painful, golf-ball-size swellings,
known as buboes, in the lymph nodes
of the groin or armpit. Plague can also
cause hemorrhaging of blood vessels in the fingers and nose, leading
to dark-purplish gangrene — hence
the name "Black Death." If bacteria
reach the lungs, the pneumonic form
of plague can spread from person to
person through coughing. Untreated,
plague is almost always fatal within a
week, but identified within the first
24 to 48 hours, it can usually be cured
with antibiotics.
Because the United States has an
average of just five plague infections
each year, CDC researchers decided
in 2003 to conduct their research on
predicting and preventing outbreaks
abroad, and they focused on Uganda.
In the decade since, they have identified 1,287 suspected plague cases.
The only way to definitively diagnose bubonic plague was typically to
insert a hypodermic needle directly
into a bubo, inject a solution and
withdraw the fluid. The sample was
then cultured, stained and put on a
slide. Under a microscope, Yersinia
pestis looks like a safety pin — an oval
with caps on either end. Prior to the
CDC's involvement, most clinics in
Uganda didn't have microscopes, nor
the expertise to use them, much less
an adequate supply of sterile needles
and solution.
But after years of testing in Uganda, the CDC is finishing a study of a
low-cost dipstick, not unlike a home
pregnancy test, which requires just
a drop of blood or urine to reveal
within minutes if a person has plague.
Jeff Borchert, the CDC scientist who
oversees the project in Uganda, says
that having such a test would be critical in the event of a biological attack
and that the United States could provide free tests to Uganda and other
plague-endemic countries.
Meanwhile, the researchers have
sought to expand drug options, because some intravenous antibiotics,
such as streptomycin, are not widely
available and because drug resistance
to other antibiotics poses a concern.
The go-to pill for an anthrax attack
is ciprofloxacin, which is part of the
U.S. Strategic National Stockpile established for national emergencies.
The researchers hope it will also be
approved by the FDA for plague.
As part of the ongoing clinical trials, 14-year-old Isaac Baniyo's plague
was diagnosed with a dipstick; he
then became the fifth plague patient
— and the first with the pneumonic
form of the disease — treated with a
10-day dose of cipro. Fortunately, the
drug worked for him. "It's a very big
step forward," says Ingelsby, who was
not involved in the research.
Despite their efforts so far in Uganda, the team has not achieved its goal
of reducing plague mortality from
about 30 percent to 15 percent. Mead
at first suspected that people farthest
from clinics were not getting diagnosis and treatment within the two-day
window that makes the difference.
That hunch proved wrong.
It turned out that cultural traditions were key, and they were working against the CDC. Many people
in Baniyo's village rely on traditional
healers, who treat illness with herbs
or prayers. During a 2008 outbreak
of pneumonic plague, the healer was
one of those sickened — and a fully
stocked clinic was less than a halfmile away. "Having a diagnostic dipstick and effective antibiotics doesn't
really matter if a person doesn't get to
the clinic," Mead says.

Clinical Trials for
Alzheimer's
If you're a Vietnam veteran, the Alzheimer's
Disease Cooperative Study might need your help.
It's been doing a clinical trial about Alzheimer's
disease in Vietnam veterans who have traumatic
brain injury (TBI) or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with or without any symptoms of
Alzheimer's.
The purpose of the study is to learn how previous injuries affect veterans as they age, which
will add to the information needed to help those
injured in Afghanistan and Iraq. Researchers will
be able to identify veterans who are at increased
risk for Alzheimer's disease, and create preventive
treatments. It sounds very worthwhile.
The study, called Brain Aging in Vietnam War
Veterans by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, will take place at ADNI locations at
19 universities and research centers in 11 states.
During the clinical trial, researchers will study
changes in the brain scans, cognitive tests and
cerebrospinal fluid. Three separate groups will

Seniors older than 65 who have higher levels
of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood benefit from
reduced mortality risk, specifically from heart disease, according to a study by the Harvard School
of Public Health and the University of Washington.
The 16-year study gathered information on three
specific types of fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA), which is related to lower risk of death from
heart disease; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which
is linked to lower risk of non-fatal heart attacks;
and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is associated with lower risk of stroke death.
The study concluded that adults with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood:
--reduce their overall mortality risk by as much
as 27 percent;
--lower their risk of dying of heart disease by 35
percent;
--can extend their lives an average of 2.2 years.
This can be accomplished, the study said, by
increasing the level of fatty-acid foods (fatty, oily
fish) from little or none to a moderate amount,
about two servings per week, or an average of 400
mg per day.
Some researchers have declared the study
faulty, however, because it didn't specifically address the consumption of fish. It also excluded
participants who took fish oil supplements and
concentrated on the levels of fatty acid in the
blood.
If you're curious about this study, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to add one
or two servings of fish per week to your diet. The
types of fish classified as "fatty" include cold-water
albacore tuna, trout, salmon, sardines, herring and
mackerel. Other ways to get omega-3 include eggs,
walnuts and canola oil.

Housing Juggernaut Seen Spurring
500,000 New Workers
By Steve Matthews
P
aul Laney landed a job two
months ago as a home inspector in nearby Woodstock, as
the city added staff to oversee a growing residential construction industry.
"I am really ecstatic about it," said
Laney, 52, who closed his own contracting business in 2007.
At a 19-home development being built by Windsong Properties off
Main Street in Woodstock, about 30
miles north of Atlanta, people are being hired to sell homes, underwrite
mortgages, install garage doors and
security systems, and inspect finished
construction.
A rebound in homebuilding after
a six-year slump should generate as
many as 500,000 jobs in 2013 and
700,000 in 2014 including related services, estimates Russell Price, a senior
economist at Ameriprise Financial
Inc. in Detroit and the top forecaster of employment for the past two
years, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg.
"Housing is like a coiled spring"
driven by "a lot of pent-up demand,"
said Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia University's business school in
New York, who was chairman of the
White House Council of Economic
Advisers under President George W.
Bush. "It is a real source of strength
in the economy — from construction
jobs and all the vendors who play into
it."
About half the jobs created by homebuilding are outside of construction,
estimates the National Association of
Home Builders, a Washington-based
trade group. More than three jobs are
created for each single-family home
built, including related work, a 2008
study by the group estimates.
A carpenter uses a level while working on a home under construction in Beaumont, Calif. A rebound in
homebuilding after a six-year slump could generate as many as 500,000 jobs in 2013 and 700,000 in 2014
including related services, one expert predicts. (Bloomberg News photo by Patrick T. Fallon).
"A revival in new home construction will have a huge stimulative effect on the larger economy," said
Brad Hunter, Palm Beach Gardens,
Fla.-based chief economist for housing research firm Metrostudy. "When
home construction goes up, so does
demand for furniture, tile, lumber,
concrete, draperies, paint, and appliances of all sorts."
Price gains on existing homes in
markets led by Atlanta, Las Vegas,
San Francisco, Phoenix, and Fort Myers, Florida, will benefit homebuilders, said brokerage firm Sterne Agee
& Leach Inc. analyst Jay McCanless
in Nashville, Tennessee. That will allow homebuilders to raise prices, and
prompt some shoppers to look more
closely at new rather than existing
homes, McCanless said.
Single-family housing starts are
likely to rise 18 percent to 632,000 in
2013 from a year earlier, and by another 26 percent to 796,000 in 2014,
forecasts Hunter. Single-family starts
fell 75 percent from the 2005 peak of
1.7 million to 2011's low of 430,600.
Construction companies added
18,000 workers last month after a
49,000 surge in February that was the
biggest in almost six years, a Labor
Department report April 5 showed.
As payroll growth slowed in March
to 88,000, the smallest gain in nine
months, construction added jobs
faster than the overall market.
Yet the increase in construction
jobs so far has lagged new activity
because workers have had their hours
increased, said David Crowe, NAHB
chief economist in Washington.
Weekly hours have risen to an average of 36.8 the past year, the highest
since December 2006.
"We have seen increasing hours, but
there is a limit to that," he said. "I'm
expecting to see a more direct correlation between increases in housing
starts and increases in construction
employment."
The Federal Reserve, which is been
buying $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities and $45 billion in Treasury bonds to lower longterm interest rates, said last month
that housing has "strengthened further." In an El Reno, Okla., speech
April 4, Kansas City Fed President
Esther George cited rising housing
starts and said low inventories were
contributing to more building.
While construction may account
for about 5 percent of the U.S. economy, it has "a big impact on both total
output and employment," St. Louis
Fed President James Bullard told reporters April 3.
In Woodstock, with a population of
24,000, permits have been issued for
64 new homes in the first quarter, up
45 percent from the same period in
2012 and more than double the number for that period in 2011, according
to City Manager Jeff Moon.
New home construction rose to 678
in Cherokee County, which includes
Woodstock, last year from about 400
a year the prior three years, according
to Metrostudy. Developers added 248
new lots in the last quarter of 2012,
"suggesting an expectation of continued growth in demand," Hunter said.
Among the new permits have been
those for Windsong Properties' Garden Street subdivision, where broker
Beth Jones said all 19 homes are under contract. The homes, which sell
for the "upper $200,000s," are being
marketed to people 55 and older and
include a design that can be adapted, for example, for accessibility to
wheelchairs.
"It's a huge success, coming from a
market where everything was slow,"
she said. "The market has been beginning to shift."
Jones, 55, who is paid on commission, says she had to "dip into savings"
during the housing slump, and her income has doubled from the low. "It is
certainly a relief."
Windsong Properties in Woodstock
has 10 full-time employees up from
six in in 2006, said operations manager Carrie Roeger. The company contracts out most of the construction
and other work. Fifty-four subcontractors with at least 62 workers have
been used for the project, excluding
transportation of materials, she said.
International Marble Industries Inc.
in Woodstock, which makes and installs bathroom vanity tops and shower bases and worked at Garden Street,
has increased employment to 50 from
20 people in 2009. The company lost
money from 2008 to the middle of
2011 amid a "gut-wrenching" decline
in business, President Dirk De Vuyst
said.
"We are optimistic that volume is
picking up and there is pent-up demand," he said.
Loud Security Systems of nearby
Kennesaw, which installs security
and wires homes for electronics, has
boosted staff to 42 employees from 22
at the end of 2011, owner John Loud
said. The company may hire a few
more people by year's end, he said.
"All the new construction is very
encouraging, a big plus for us," he
said.
Tim Smith, 32, was hired in February as operations manager for the
Overhead Door Company of Atlanta,
which installs garage doors. The position had been vacant for two years.
The company has hired 10 people in
the last two months and "we need to
hire more for growth that will happen
by the end of the year."
Laney, who was a general contractor in Cherokee and Cobb counties
north of Atlanta, closed his former
homebuilding business during the
housing slump, cutting the jobs of five
workers. "There wasn't any new construction," and remodeling "wasn't
profitable."
After spending much of the past few
years working with heating and air
conditioning work, which fluctuated
seasonally, he took the city job adding
a fifth building inspector Feb. 25.
"I love to see the new construction,"
he said. "A lot of the homes we are
inspecting are already sold. I don't
think the market will be as wide open
as it was once, but there will be a good
steady increase. People still ultimately
want a new home."

Swedish Banks Move to ATMS as
Krona Goes Virtual
By Niklas Magnusson and Katarina Gustafsson
I
f you're looking for Swedish cash,
don't go to a Swedish bank.
Most of the country's biggest
lenders, SEB, Swedbank and Nordea
Bank, have stopped manual cashhandling services in 65 percent to 75
percent of their local branches. They
say cash is out as Swedes rely on credit
cards, the Internet and mobile phones
to make all their payments.
The country's bank notes are
adorned with images of famous
Swedes, including botanist Carl Linnaeus and soon to feature legendary actress Greta Garbo. But they're
used in only about 20 percent of shop
transactions, according to data from
the Swedish Trade Federation.
"We've removed the manual cash
handling simply because we're seeing a change in behavior among our
customers," Swedbank spokeswoman
Anna Sundblad said in an email.
"Only 5 percent of our customers
make over-the-counter cash transactions."
Customer demand for cash services at Nordea, Scandinavia's biggest
bank, is dropping by about 20 percent a year, spokesman Erik Durhan
said. According to Nordea Chairman
Bjoern Wahlroos, the end of cash is
a natural next step in an evolutionary process that has already led to
the extinction of checkbooks. In this
respect, Scandinavia is far ahead of
Britain and the United States, he said.
"The Nordic countries did away
with the check about 30 years ago,
whereas if you look at the U.S. you
still pay by check, and even in Britain people still use checks," Wahlroos
said in an interview last month. "It's
only logical that if we did away with
the check 30 years ago, we're starting
to do away with coins and bills today."
Sweden's banks don't only stand
out for their aversion to paper money.
The nation's financial industry has
performed better than banks across
most of Europe since the debt crisis
hit more than three years ago. Shares
in Nordea have soared 22 percent this
year, trouncing a 2.3 percent gain in
the 40-member Bloomberg Index of
European financial companies. Swed-
LAUGHING FROM COVER
_________________________
After a while, the group began clapping before saying in unison, "Eeyan,
eeyan . . . " or "It's good" in the local
dialect.
"If you can't laugh properly, just
let out a loud 'hahaha,'" said Ueda, a
58-year-old certified laughter yoga
teacher.
The exercise continued as members
were prompted to imagine themselves picking up gold bars, or peeling
huge bananas. They also mimicked
swimming strokes, such as freestyle
and the dog paddle.
as Ikea and Saturn don't accept Visa
or MasterCard in their outlets, only
cash and Germany's so-called EC
cards.
In Britain, cash was used in 58 percent of all retail transactions in 2011,
up from 55 percent in 2010. Payment
with credit cards fell 11 percent, according to data from the British Retail
Consortium.
In Sweden, the number of card payments "is increasing continuously and
for 10 years we've seen strong growth,
which we expect will continue," said
Bengt Nilervall, head of payments at
the Swedish Trade Federation. "Many
European countries are far behind."
Customers operate ATMs outside a Swedbank branch in Stockholm in November. Overall in Sweden, steps by other
banks to remove cash from their branches have led to a decline in robberies, with only five incidents last year,
compared with 16 in 2011. (Bloomberg News photo by Casper Hedberg).
bank is up 17 percent and SEB has
gained 22 percent.
The lenders are also among Europe's best capitalized thanks to Sweden's regulatory requirements, which
far exceed standards set by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision.
The country's biggest banks must set
aside at least 10 percent in core Tier
1 capital of their risk-weighted assets
this year, with the minimum requirement rising to 12 percent in 2015. Basel sets a 7 percent minimum by 2019.
The banks say removing cashhandling services is helping them
cut costs. They're also profiting from
their card business. SEB's reported fee
income from its card operations rose
8 percent to 4.37 billion kronor ($683
million) for last year. SEB has shut
down 70 percent of its manual cash
handling services in Sweden, spokeswoman Anna Helsen said.
Of Sweden's four biggest banks,
Svenska Handelsbanken alone still
offers cash-handling services at all its
461 branches. It will continue to do
so as long as there is demand, bank
spokesman Henrik Westman said.
That customer service comes at a
price. Most of the recent reported
bank robberies in Sweden were at
Handelsbanken branches. Overall in
Sweden, steps by other banks to re-
move cash from their branches have
led to a decline in robberies, with only
five incidents last year, compared with
16 in 2011, according to the Swedish
Bankers' Association.
The Financial Sector Union of Sweden, which represents employees in
the country's financial industry, is
pushing to get rid of cash altogether,
a step it says will make banking safer.
The cost of keeping cash amounted
to 0.26 percent of Sweden's gross domestic product in 2009, compared
with 0.19 percent for credit cards and
0.09 percent for debit cards, according to a KTH Royal Institute of Technology report published in January.
Shops are also trying to cut their
use of paper money. Swedish bedding
retailer Kungsaengen and mobile
phone chain 3 are phasing out cash in
their stores. So is TeliaSonera, which
stopped accepting cash payments in
its Swedish stores in September, said
spokesman Nicolas Rundbom.
At Sweden's main Arlanda airport,
travelers can use automatic tellers to
buy train tickets to Stockholm only
if they have credit cards with a chip.
Those with chipless cards, or cash
only, must line up at old-fashioned
tellers.
In Germany, Europe's largest economy, even international chains such
The group continued the laughing
exercises for about an hour.
Said Ueda: "It's important that at
first, you just let out your voice cheerfully. If you practice every day, you'll
be able to laugh very naturally."
Ueda's "Warai Yoga Kurabu"
(Laughter yoga club) group holds
meetings at the park once a month, in
addition to indoor practices.
According to scientists, people
laugh less as they grow older.
In a survey of 2,471 people conducted by Tetsuya Ohira, a professor
at Fukushima Medical University,
more than 60 percent of female re-
spondents under 50 said they laughed
almost every day, compared to just 43
percent for those aged 70 or older.
For men, the figure stood at 36 percent for those 70 or older, significantly lower than the 58 percent recorded
for those under 40.
"The less people laugh, the more
likely they are to develop memory
loss or other symptoms," Ohira said.
Hiroshi Inoue, professor emeritus at Kansai University, also said,
"Laughing is an excellent ability that
humans have."
"As people get older, they tend to
laugh less and don't talk to others as

Tax Changes for
2013
Now that the 2012 tax season has wrapped up,
it's time to take a look at the changes that have
been made to income taxes for 2013.
--401(k): Individuals now can contribute up
to $17,500.
--Increased deduction for Social Security: For
two years, taxpayers got a small reprieve when
the deduction went from 6.2 percent down to 4.2
percent in a temporary tax cut. Now that additional 2 percent is back. Before too much more
time goes by in 2013, be certain your calculations and deductions are correct.
If you had a child leave home and he or she
is no longer a dependent, your overall figures
will change. If you have multiple jobs, are getting married or divorced, buying a house, having a baby, or usually have a balance due or get
a large refund, your tax situation will change and
you might need to fill out a revised W-4 with your
employer.
--If you're in a high-income bracket ($400,000
single or $450,000 married filing jointly), your
taxes are going up from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.
--Mileage rates have changed: Use of a car
for business is now 56.5 cents per mile, medical miles are now 24 cents per mile and driving
for charitable organizations stays the same at 14
cents per mile.
--Section 179: For assets acquired in 2013, the
deduction is up to $500,000.
--Home-office deduction: If you're self-employed, the home-office deduction changes for
2013 will impact you. In the past, taxpayers have
had one choice in claiming the deduction: Do
multiple calculations involving mortgage interest, utilities, property taxes paid, square feet
of space used, insurance and so on. Now, beginning in 2013 and reportable in 2014, there is a
simplified version.
All that will be required now is to multiply
the square footage used for business times $5
per square foot, up to a maximum of 300 square
feet. That space must still be used strictly for
business -- regular and exclusive use, and as
your principal place of business. The total of
Schedule A home-related deductions will go
on the Schedule A and not be divided with the
home office deduction.
Additionally, there won't be any depreciation
or recapture when you sell your home down the
road. Consult the IRS website (www.irs.gov) for
Home Office Deduction and navigate to the section about the changes for 2013.
Make any necessary adjustments now so you
don't get caught short next April.

National Women's Soccer League Hopes to
Succeed Where Predecessors Failed
By Steven Goff
T
he first attempt burned
through tens of millions of
dollars and, despite an array
of famous figures, was over in three
years. The second try never took hold
and ended in disarray after another
brief lifespan.
But a dozen years after introducing top-flight women's soccer to the
U.S. pro sports landscape, organizers
and investors believe they have finally
found the right formula to sustain a
national circuit and grow the sport's
female branch.
This weekend marks the launch of
the National Women's Soccer League,
an eight-team alliance with highquality personnel (all of the 2012 U.S.
Olympic gold medalists are under
contract), restrained payrolls (around
$500,000 for a team of 18 to 20 players) and humble expectations (the
Washington Spirit is aiming to average 3,000 fans).
The NWSL hopes to avoid the pitfalls that doomed the Women's United Soccer Association (2001-03) and
Women's Professional Soccer (200911) and provide a permanent foothold for the sport.
"We are trying to be practical, really
focus on sustainability, build that base
and grow," said Bill Lynch, owner
of the Spirit, which will play home
matches Montgomery County, Md.
"We're starting simpler — a lot more
modest makes much more sense."
Women's pro league endeavors have
failed to capitalize on the success and
popularity of the U.S. national team,
which has won two World Cup and
four Olympic titles since 1991, drawn
respectable crowds and cultivated
players, from Mia Hamm to Alex
Morgan, who have more mass appeal
than many of their American male
counterparts.
But when the U.S. squad was broken into small parts and the players
allocated around the country to perform weekly, the reception cooled.
The overriding issue with WUSA and
WPS, though, was reckless spending
and mismanagement.
The WUSA, featuring Hamm and
the other stars of the 1999 World
Cup-winning team, averaged 7,246
spectators — a promising count but
not nearly enough to offset the millions poured into the league. WPS
took a thriftier approach but drew
3,930 per game and saw four teams
fold and another relocate in the first
two seasons.
What is different this time is the
involvement of the U.S. Soccer Federation, the sport's governing body,
which is subsidizing the league by
paying the salaries of about twodozen national team regulars who
committed to the NWSL. The Canadian and Mexican federations are also
involved, paying several of their top
players to compete here.
The arrangement serves the USSF's
best interests because it expands the
national team's talent pool and keeps
the players in a competitive environment. Without a domestic league, the
federation would have to consider
implementing a full-time residency
program (for players who do not sign
overseas) and scheduling more international friendlies than desired.
"It's an investment in the sport,"
USSF President Sunil Gulati said.
Using a government
metaphor, "public
assistance was necessary to make it
work. The likelihood
of sustainability is
greater."
Germany,
England, France and
Sweden have kept
most of their players
at home with smallscale leagues.
"Anybody
who
doesn't think there
are several countries
that have closed the gap on us," Lynch
said, "isn't watching international
soccer."
Subsidies have eased the burden
on NWSL owners. With federations covering the salaries for three
Americans, two Canadians and one
Mexican, Lynch is responsible for
only about $200,000 for his other 12
to 14 players. (Non-elite players are
on six-month contracts and have the
flexibility to play elsewhere in the offseason or arrange other jobs.)
The USSF is also administering the
league, headed by executive director
Cheryl Bailey, the national team's former general manager.
Sustainability was a selling point for
top U.S. players, many of whom endured WPS's problems or avoided the
league altogether by playing overseas.
Spirit defender Ali Krieger spent 5
1/2 years in the German league before committing to the NWSL this
past winter.
"With the USSF supporting the
league, it's a better foundation — it's
sturdy," Krieger said. "Before, I wanted to come home, but I said, 'Why?'
You never know if you jumped on a
team, the next year it was going to
disappear. That's not a professional
atmosphere for me. With this set-up,
it gives me hope."
Each team will play 22 regular
season games followed by a week of
playoffs, culminating with an Aug. 31
final. The Spirit opened on the road
Sunday evening against the Boston
Breakers and will make its home
debut Saturday night against Abby
Wambach and the Western New York
Flash, a team out of Elma in the Buffalo area, which won women's soccer
championship titles in the last three
years.
The NWSL does not have a national
TV contract and won't buy airtime,
leaving teams to stream their matches
online.
Aside from low payrolls and broadcast savings, the league is playing primarily in small facilities with low rent
fees. The only team housed at an MLS
stadium is the Portland Thorns, who
are owned by the same group that
oversees the MLS' Timbers. The city's
fanatical soccer culture has embraced
the Thorns in the form of 7,000 season ticket holders. (The Spirit has
about 700.)
The Spirit will play at the Maryland
SoccerPlex, a sprawling athletic campus 34 miles from the White House,
with a stadium in a suburban environment. The base for women's soccer is suburban families, compared to
MLS' foundation of young males and
ethnic groups.
The Washington Freedom played in
the District of Columbia at RFK Stadium in 2001-03 and, with Hamm on
the roster, drew an average of 11,000
over three years. In WPS, the Wambach-led Freedom averaged 4,700 in
2009-10 in the SoccerPlex before relocating to South Florida.
Most other NWSL teams will play
in high school, college or small municipal stadiums.
The league will afford opportunities to young players who otherwise
would abandon the sport after college. And there are a lot of players out
there. According to the USSF, girls

and women account for 35 percent of
American soccer's 4.5 million registered players — twice as many as any
other country. Women's soccer boasts
the highest participation numbers at
the NCAA level, with 200 percent
growth over 25 years.
Without a domestic league, the
number of qualified candidates for
the national team will inevitably
shrink, jeopardizing the American
reign over the women's game.
"Other countries with leagues are
catching up," said Spirit captain Lori
Lindsey, 33, a University of Virginia
graduate and national team midfielder who played in both the WUSA and
WPS. "The world's soccer education
is expanding and we need to continue
growing. We should never be comfortable."
NWSL organizers say they have
learned from their predecessors' mistakes and have taken the proper steps
to avoid another collapse.
The WUSA and WPS "did some
things right but needed to do it at a
leaner level," Gulati said. "This approach provides a higher probability
to succeed."
Idiots
A man, wanting to rob a downtown
Bank of America, walked into the
Branch and wrote this, “Put all your
muny in this bag.”
While standing in line, waiting to
give his note to the teller, he began
to worry that someone had seen him
write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window.
So he left the Bank of America and
crossed the street to the Wells Fargo
Bank. After waiting a few minutes in
line, he handed his note to the Wells
Fargo teller.
She read it and, surmising from
his spelling errors that he wasn't the
brightest light in the harbor, told him
that she could not accept his stickup
note because it was written on a Bank
of America deposit slip and that he
would either have to fill out a Wells
Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank
of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the
man said, “OK” and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later,
as he was waiting in line back at Bank
of America. ■
French Tennis Open Lifts
Prize Money
for Champions,
Early Losers
By Danielle Rossingh
T
he winners of next month's
French Open will receive a record 1.5 million euros ($2 million) each, while early-round losers
will get the biggest raise as the claycourt tennis major responds to player
demands for more equal distribution
of prize money.
The Paris tournament will pay the
singles champions 20 percent more
than last year, while first-round losers
will get 17 percent more. The biggest
increase has been given to losers in
the second, third and fourth rounds,
who will all be paid 25 percent more,
the event said in an emailed statement Monday.
"A better distribution of winnings
guides our thinking on pay," said
Gilbert Ysern, director of the tournament and director-general of the
French Tennis Federation, or FFT. "In
this case, the FFT hopes to continue
its efforts with regards to players who
are eliminated in the first week."
Last year, the French Open was the
first of the four majors to change its
distribution of prize money as it increased pay for the early rounds of
the main draws as well as the qualifying tournament. That followed calls
from players on the men's ATP World
Tour for a more even distribution of
revenue generated by the four Grand
Slam events: the Australian Open, the
French Open, Wimbledon and the
U.S. Open.
Monday's increases are part of a
four-year plan to boost prize money
13
nyeaglenews.com
by 10 million euros through 2016, the
French Open said.
"The Roland Garros prize money
increases are another positive step
forward for our players and we welcome the longterm commitment the
FFT has made through 2016," Brad
Drewett, ATP executive chairman
and president, said in an emailed
statement. "The progress that has
been made through our discussions with the Slams over the past 15
months has been truly significant for
our sport as a whole."
Players who exit the French Open
in the second round next month will
receive 35,000 euros, or 7,000 euros
more than in 2012. Third-round losers will get 60,000 euros, while a departure from the fourth round is rewarded with 100,000 euros.
In the past 12 months, Wimbledon,
the U.S. Open and the Australian
Open have all followed the example
set by Roland Garros and boosted
prize money for the early rounds.
The prize-money pot in Paris totals a tournament record 22 million
euros, or 3 million euros more than
Navy Football Team Back at
White House to Claim Commander-in-Chief's Trophy
By Gene Wang
The New York Eagle News/ The Washington Post
F
ollowing a two-year hiatus, the
Navy football team was back
at the White House last Friday
afternoon to accept the Commanderin-Chief 's Trophy from President
Barack Obama in a ceremony held in
the East Room.
The Midshipmen had won the trophy presented to the winner of the
series among the three service academies seven consecutive times beginning in 2003, but that record streak
ended when Air Force claimed it in
2010 and 2011. Navy has won the trophy 13 times in all.
"This never gets old," Navy Coach
Ken Niumatalolo said after exiting
the White House grounds. "Not that
you ever take for granted coming to
the White House, but I think we took
the Commander-in-Chief 's Trophy
maybe a little for granted."
The Midshipmen beat Air Force
on Oct. 6 in overtime, 28-21, thanks
to a fourth-quarter rally that earned
freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds the starting job. Then the first
freshman to start at quarterback at
Navy since 1991 capped the regular
season by scoring the decisive touchdown late in the fourth quarter for a
17-13 victory over Army.
Reynolds was standing in the first
row behind the president during the
ceremony that lasted roughly 15 minutes, and afterward he, along with all
last year. That compares with A$30
million ($31.3 million) at this year's
Australian Open, and $29.5 million at
the 2013 U.S. Open. Wimbledon will
announce its prize money next week.
The French Open starts May 26.
Spain's Rafael Nadal and Maria
Sharapova of Russia are the defending champions.

of his teammates, shook hands with
Obama and posed for pictures next
to the silver Commander-in-Chief 's
Trophy that rested on a table next to
the lectern.
Senior captains Bo Snelson and
Brye French presented Obama with
an official Navy football helmet, but
despite urging from the crowd, the
president politely declined to wear it.
"Here's the general rule: You don't
put stuff on your head if you're the
president," Obama said, drawing
laughter throughout the room. "That's
politics 101. You never look good
wearing something on your head."
Obama also introduced Niumatalolo as "my fellow Hawaiian," and
Navy's fifth-year coach hugged the
president before thanking him for
taking the time to meet with the team.
Niumatalolo and Obama both grew
up in Hawaii, where they attended rival high schools.
Some of the heartiest applause came
when Obama pointed out Navy has
been at the White House eight times
in 10 years after winning 19 of its last
21 games against service academy opponents.
"Michelle and I were thinking about
just leaving a key under the rug,"
Obama said.
Said Niumatalolo: "Obviously the
president is a very busy man. He has
a lot of things on his plate. We just
feel very fortunate that with everything going on in the world, all the
things he has to deal with, the most
powerful man in the world, he would
take a few minutes out for our team,
for these young men. I know that the
president recognizes who these guys
are and what they represent and what
they do."

PLAQUE FROM PAGE 8

So in 2010, Titus Apangu of the
Ugandan Virus Research Institute,
with funding from the CDC, began
recruiting 10 of these traditional healers, training them to recognize plague
symptoms and providing them with
bicycles, cellphones and referral cards
to direct patients to a specialist at the
local clinic. The number of healers
working with the institute has now
climbed to 42, and they have made
562 referrals for suspected cases of
plague, malaria, tuberculosis and
other serious illnesses. Some are even
sporting homemade uniforms with a
CDC logo.
On a recent morning, Mark Wadribo, a healer in a blue sweater with a
wooden cross around his neck, pulled
out his book of referrals and told the
story of a young farmer who limped
into his compound last year. The man
was so weak, he could barely speak.
"When I examined him, I found high
fever," Wadribo recalled. "I asked if he
had swellings." The man revealed a
bubo on the left side of his groin.
In the past, Wadribo treated such
patients by making incisions and rubbing herbs in the wound. This time,
he grabbed his cellphone and told his
brother to ready the motorbike. They
had a plague to stop.

Q: We're taking my mother-in-law
to Fort Myers for her 80th birthday over Martin Luther King Jr. Day
weekend next year. She's reasonably active for her age and can walk
around, but long hikes are out. We'll
be at a nice place with a pool, but I
doubt that the weather will be that
warm. Do you have suggestions for
activities to do or sites to see within a
two-hour drive?
A: There's actually quite a bit in
Fort Myers: The winter homes of
Henry Ford and Thomas Edison are
big attractions there and worth a visit.
Another historic mansion is the Murphy-Burroughs House, the former
home of a cattle rancher. The downtown is a historic district and pretty
to walk around in. In nearby Naples,
there's the Naples Zoo, plus terrific
shopping. Farther afield, you're within two hours of Big Cypress National
Preserve and the Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary, with its 2.25-mile boardwalk.

Can this be a (long) one-day trip
to see the sights or should we really
make it two? This is a 7-year-old, if it
matters.
A: If what you mainly want to do
is see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, then yes, it can definitely
be done in a day. The historic area —
Independence National Historic Park
— in Old City is quite compact.

Q: Can you explain how Amtrak
sets its fares? They still offer the $49
each way between Washington and
New York, but it now appears to be
limited only to extremely early or extremely late trains.
A: Fares are based on demand. If
the seats are filling at the higher fares,
no cheap seats are offered. You could
always take the bus, which is much
cheaper.

The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always
paused and bowed his head for a
moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.
"Well, Honey," he began, proud
that his daughter was so observant of his messages, "I'm asking
the Lord to help me preach a good
sermon."
"How come He doesn't answer
it?" she asked. ■

Daniel T. Spence
Penn Yan, NY - Daniel Theodore
Spence, 52, of Log Cabin Road on
Seneca Lake's west side, died on
April 8, 2013 following a war with
cancer and kidney failure that he
fought and finished on his terms.
On the sweltering summer day
of July 20, 1960 Ted and Juanita
Spence brought their youngest child
into the world - a healthy little boy
who quickly also became the joy in
the lives of his siblings, Lynn, Lyle,
Susan, and Gwen.
Dan (AKA Thede, Spike or Ted)
grew up with an appreciation of
nature as he fished, swam and skied
Seneca Lake. That reverence led him
to seek a career that embraced all
of the outdoors. After graduating
from Penn Yan Academy in 1978,
he earned his Associate's degree in
Forestry from Paul Smith's College
and became a Licensed New York
Land Surveyor.
After working for other surveying and lumber companies in the
Adirondacks, Connecticut and
Capital Region, Dan returned to the
Finger Lakes area to work at a new
engineering and surveying firm,
Fisher Associates, in 1992. He rose
within the company to the position
of Vice President/Survey Operations
Manager.
Dan was Project/Surveyor overseeing some of the biggest projects in
the Rochester area, including the
O'Rourke bridge in Charlotte, the
Frederick Douglas/Susan B. Anthony bridge (Freddy-Sue bridge) in
Rochester, which is the largest three
arch bridge in the U.S., and lately
positioning the outfall shafts for the
Monroe County Water Authority
water intake tunnel, from on a barge
more than a mile off shore of Lake
Ontario. He also coordinated survey
operations for hundreds of survey
projects. Dan was always at the
forefront of the industry standards,
implementing the latest equipment.
In so doing, he catapulted the firm
into the Machine Controlled Guidance era and facilitated in-house
model building.
Dan’s greatest pleasures came
from teaching youngsters how to ski
behind his Mastercraft, enjoying a
Manhattan on the cottage deck while
watching purple martins, raptors
and waterfowl, sipping a beer next to
a beach fire with a massive circle of
friends, and watching a great football
game - especially if the Kansas City
Chiefs won.
Dan was devoted to helping maintain the Keuka Outlet Trail through
his work and leadership with the
Friends of the Outlet, and to sharing
his multiple skills in the restoration
of his father's birthplace at Cobblestone Springs in Starkey.
Dan’s work-hard, play-hard, and
relax with deep satisfaction approach to life led him to become a
46er, climbing every one of the 46
high peaks of the Adirondacks. He

topped the first 23 peaks bolstered
by a kidney donated by his mother
in 1978 and reached the second 23
mountain tops with the support
of another kidney donated by his
brother, Lyle, in 1995. He hunted the
Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming
and explored as much of this earth
as he could, but the place he always
wanted to spend his time was on the
shore of Seneca Lake.
Dan is survived by his mother,
Juanita Spence; brothers the Rev.
Lynn (Lorrie) Spence of Clifton
Springs and Lyle (Shelley) Spence of
Worland, WY; sisters Susan (Christian Claessens) Spence of Canandaigua and Gwen (Mark) Chamberlain
of Dundee; nephews Casey (Missy)

of Clifton Springs, Kevin (Lenny)
Cole of Lake Alfred, FL, and Brad
(Lauren) Cole of Dundee; nieces
Lisa (Doug Smith) Spence of Oaks
Corners, Amanda Spence of Clifton
Springs, Christine (Jeremy) Busch
of Loveland, CO and Laura (Paul
Newhouse) Spence of Ft. Collins,
CO; 11 grand-nieces and nephews;
several close cousins; and a large
circle of very special friends. He will
be most deeply missed by his best
friend, Cindy.
Dan was predeceased by his father,
Theodore Spence in 1999.

Dan's family also strongly encourages everyone to think of him as they
document an intent to be an organ
donor. Arrangements were made
through Townsend-Wood Funeral
Chapel, Penn Yan.

Prayerful Thoughts
By Linda Childs
Special to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
I thank You Lord for all the wonderful signs of Spring; the warmer spring breezes, the sound of the water rushing in the creek flush with the snowmelt and spring
rains, the sunshine on my face, new signs of life springing forth from the earth and
the cheerful songs of the birds in the trees. All this reminds me Lord of Your neverending cycles of life renewing itself, just as my soul feels renewed in You each day
when I spend time with You. It certainly is worth it to take some time to notice
what’s happening all around us. It is especially wonderful to take the time to pay
attention to what’s happening within us, to listen for Your voice and guidance, and
savor Your love and peace.
Amen

Slate Books:
Books Are Canine; the Web Is Feline
By Daniel Engber
The New York Eagle News/Slate
R
eader, if you and I can agree
on anything, it's that the Internet is made of cats. But we
may differ on the follow-up: What else
could it be made of? When cats took
over on our screens and in our minds,
whose regime, exactly, did they replace?
For too long we've talked as if the
online feline emerged from nowhere,
to fill a niche that hadn't yet existed.
We've made out cats to be the brandnew products of a brand-new age and
ignored the fact that before we had
the Internet, and before the Internet
had its furry totem, media consumers
held a different set of animal predilections. We've forgotten that the readers
from that ancient age of dusty books
preferred the dog, and so they do today. Before the Web page there was
the written word. Before kittens ruled
the Internet, puppies reigned in print.
The real mystery, then, is not how
cats took precedence online, but
rather how they managed to dethrone
the dog. Our media have been split in
two, and each opposing camp - the
old against the new - has a spirit animal suited to its ethos. We're reading
dogs and clicking cats. Knopf is a borzoi. BuzzFeed is a Scottish Fold.
When did our entertainments
break along these species lines? And
what will happen to the dog, once so
proud in literature, as the industry
that championed it limps into the future?
Surely you'll be inclined to grant
the premise: Think of "Maru the Cat";
think of "Marley & Me." But let me try
to make the case using more objective
means. Precisely how do dogs and
cats compare online, and then again
in print?
The other day I went to visit Yahoo
and plugged in the words "cat" and
"cats." (I tried them 10 times each.)
My searches pulled an average of 1.8
billion hits, nearly two giga-cats of
data on the Internet. Then I did the
If kittens rule the Internet, why do puppies reign in print? (Luke Pearson.)
same with "dog" and "dogs," and received one-third as many results. For
every Web-enabled pooch, three kittens danced on YouTube.
Bing produced a similar comparison: 1.7 billion cats against 775 million dogs, for a ratio north of 2-to-1.
Google was more even-pawed, but
still the Web evinced a preference for
felines: Its worm crawled 2.5 billion
sites on cats and just 1.7 billion sites
on dogs.
These searches tell us what we knew
already: That stats on cats are unsurpassed online. But what's the mix for
books?
On Amazon, canines held the lion's
share of search results, by a healthy
2-to-1. A look at Google Books returned the same disparity: The corpus holds 87 million cats and almost
twice as many pups. What's more, this
trend in published work appears to
date back centuries.
What about the future? To get a
more specific sense, I consulted an
online database of book deals and
sifted through the last few years for
references to animals. Since 2008, editors have signed up at least 44 dog-related works of fiction, compared with

20 books on cats. Among nonfiction
deals - including memoirs, how-to
guides, photography, and pet-related
humor - the spread was even more
severe: Over the last two years, the
database lists 57 such arrangements
for canine printed matter against 18
for kitty-lit.
So there we have it: Dogs really are
the champs in print, while kittens
win online. Which brings us back to
where we started.
There's an old joke, often (and erroneously) attributed to the founder
of Random House, Bennet Cerf, that
since people love to read books about
Abraham Lincoln, and people love to
read books about doctors, and people
love to read books about dogs, then
the best-selling book of all time ought
to be a book called "Lincoln's Doctor's Dog."
That wisdom first appeared in print
in 1938, in an essay for the Saturday
Review by editor George Stevens.
His piece, called "Lincoln's Doctor's
Dog and Other Famous Best-Sellers,"
looked at how book publishers try and often fail - to manufacture hits.
The principles of viral marketing that
he laid out 75 years ago ("advertising
sells a book that is already selling,"
for one, and "it is up to the publisher
to know when the iron is hot") have
since become gospel in media both
old and new. Whether it's "The Art of
Racing in the Rain," or just the "Keyboard Cat," the lesson is the same:
Success must be nurtured, not designed.
That's the point of the joke, of
course: You can't squish together
trends and expect to sell a million
copies. But it's just as telling that the
line itself still circulates in old-school
publishing, and in old-school publishing alone. (I first heard of "Lincoln's Doctor's Dog" from a literary
scout, who got it from an editor
at Houghton Mifflin.) This longrunning fad for dogs in books
suggests a deep and strange connection. Consider that in '38 the
dog itself was somewhat scarce:
Around that time, the country
had just 1 of them for every 9 of
us. The doggy boom did not occur
until the 1960s, when the ratio of
dog-to-man would rise to 1-to-5.
(These days it's 1-to-4.) In other
words, dogs were selling books before they sold themselves.
Needless to say, no one in the
business ever wondered if Lincoln's doctor had a cat. The parade of canine hits started with
the corny classics - "Old Yeller" and
"White Fang" - and now includes
some very modern books of science,
the kind that tell us what it's like to
be a dog. Along the way, it swept up
a few of the most famous writers ever
to have written: Steinbeck did a doggy
book, and so did Virginia Woolf. This
highfalutin pedigree lingers even to
this day. In the last few years, several
of our leading journalists - old-media
types, of course - have joined the long
procession: The New Yorker's Susan
Orlean and the Times' Jill Abramson
have lately gone into the doghouse,
and so has New York Magazine's executive editor John Homans.
Brainy writers have been so inclined to scrutinize the pooch, in fact,
they've often tried to get inside its
head. Jack London did an early version of the dog-narrator, but so have
many others: Paul Auster and Dave
Eggers, William Maxwell and Peter
Mayle. Kitties, for their part, have
mostly failed to earn the same regard.
I've seen omniscient cats, but only on
the Web. And here's another, final
way to show that canines get respect
in print: Dogs in stories die; cats almost never do. (That's just as true in
movies, and really any form of narrative. According to one database, the
ratio of lifeless dogs to lifeless cats onscreen is 4-to-1.)
Cats have their place in art, of
course. They've had it since the dawn
of culture. In the Chauvet cave in
France, where early humans sketched
out animals in 30,000 BCE, the evidence suggests a preference for pussies: Among the horses and the bison,
cavemen drew a pride of lions and a
panther.
I'm guessing that since ancient
times, the cat has been more an image than a text. One scholar of feline
memology notes that in the 1870s,
photographs of cats were put on cutesy
cartes de visite. Nice to look at; noth-
ing much to say. In later years the cat
became a star of comic strips, starting
with the black-and-white called Felix,
and then on and up through Garfield,
Hobbes and Heathcliff.
Hart Crane invoked a kitten in his
poem "Chaplinesque," and while tabbies may be good for comedy, they're
better yet in verse. T.S. Eliot once
wrote a book of cat-related poems,
and he's not the only one: Searching
through a site called PoemHunter for
references to pets, I found an equal
canine/feline split. It seems the tendency for putting dogs in print is limited to prose. Poets know the cat's a
short-form thing, quick and nimble,
cloaked with hidden meanings. "The
thing about cats is that they're veiled,"
says Robert Trachtenberg, author of
the recent meowmoir "Another Insane Devotion."
"It's a question of companionship
versus observation," adds Eamon
Dolan, a man who's owned both
dogs and cats, and edited a litter of
best-sellers. "You develop a relationship with a dog, whereas you observe
a cat. Dogs are companions; cats are
beautiful, animate objects." I think he
means to say: We dialogue with dogs
and contemplate our cats.
If cats tend to sit for quiet portraits,
it's in part because they tend to sit.
When they do go outside, it's to pad
around alone, which makes it hard for
cats to gin up exploits fit for publication. That's why an animal like Garfield can only live in comic strips: He's
too lethargic for a novel.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My dog "Beaver," a
medium-size mutt of undetermined parentage,
has a bit of a weight problem. The veterinarian
says he's borderline obese. I've tried feeding him
a limited diet as the vet recommended, but he's
miserable. What else can I do to help him slim
down? -- Clark D., Seattle
DEAR CLARK: Helping a pet lose weight can
be difficult. Like us humans, it's the lifestyle as
well as diet that make it easier to pack on the
pounds. So, beyond just feeding Beaver less, his
daily activities have to change significantly too.
For the next two weeks, carry a notepad around
with you. When you feed Beaver, jot down what
1. Name the song that Harry Chapin performed on the "The Tonight Show Starring
Johnny Carson" that launched his career.
2. What was "Young Girl" about, and who released the song?
3. Name the Art Garfunkel song that was used
as a soundtrack for an animated film.
4. Which group released "White Rabbit"?
5. Name the song with this lyric: "At night,
when all the world's asleep, the questions run
so deep."
Answers
1. "Taxi," in 1972. The response was so great
that Chapin was brought back the very next
night for an encore.
2. The 1968 song, by Gary Puckett & The
Union Gap, told of a man discovering that his
lover was underage. The song peaked at No. 2 in
the U.S. and No. 1 in the U.K.
3. "Bright Eyes," in 1978. The song was used
in "Watership Down."
4. Jefferson Airplane, in 1967. The song contains references to fictional characters in Lewis
Carroll's book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
5. "The Logical Song," by Supertramp in 1979.
The song is said to be a critique of an education
system not focused on knowledge.

and how much he ate. When you walk him, note
how far or for how long the walk was, whether he
was energetic or not, and whether you two played
fetch or ran around off the leash, and so on.
Then, review those notes. You'll see a pattern
of activity and diet there -- and you'll be better
informed and aware than even your dog's veterinarian is. Armed with that information you can add
to Beaver's activity level, extend his walks, spend
more time playing his favorite games. Combining
an increased activity level with the special diet the
vet recommended will help your dog lose weight.
The biggest benefit to this increased activity
will be the improved relationship you develop with
Beaver. He'll no longer just be a lovable dog lounging around the house; with a few weeks of regular
activity, I predict both of you will look forward to
those longer walks and play times.

A Real
Cure!
A woman goes to the Doctor, worried about her husband's temper.
The Doctor asks, "What's the problem?”
The woman says, "Doctor, I don't
know what to do. Every day my husband seems to lose his temper for no
reason. It scares me."
The Doctor says, "I have a cure for
that. When it seems that your husband is getting angry, just take a glass
of water and start swishing it in your
mouth. Just swish and swish but don't
swallow it until he either leaves the
room or goes to bed and is asleep."
Two weeks later the woman comes
back to the doctor looking fresh and
reborn.
The woman says, "Doctor that was a
brilliant idea! Every time my husband
started losing it, I swished with water.
I swished and swished, and he calmed
right down! How does a glass of water
do that?"
The Doctor says, "The water itself
does nothing. It's keeping your mouth
shut that does the trick..." ■

Dog in Heat
A drunk takes his dog for a walk. After awhile he gets thirsty so he ties his
dog to a parking meter in front of a
bar and goes in for a couple of beers.
After he has been there for an hour
or so the local policeman enters the
bar and says, ”Whose dog is tied up
out front?”
The drunk responds, “That’s my dog.
Is there a problem officer?”
“Well she’s in heat,” says the cop.”
“Oh, she’ll be all right. It’s shady out
there.”
“That’s not what I mean. Your dog
needs to be bred.”
“I gave her a half of a loaf this morning. She’s fine.”
At this point the policeman is becoming a little upset. “Listen buddy!
You don’t seem to understand what I
am talking about. That dog wants to
mate.”
“Oh, go right ahead officer, I’ve always wanted a police dog.” ■

- Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these
dangly things and drink whatever comes out'? Hmmm, How about eggs?
- How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box
to start a campfire?
- Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? ■
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A little woolgathering is OK. But don't let that dreamy state linger
beyond midweek, when you'll want to be ready to
take on new workplace responsibilities.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Love rules the
week for single Bovines seeking romance. Attached
pairs also find new joy in their relationships. Friday
should bring news about a business opportunity.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home becomes
the center of a new social whirl, as you show your
talent for hosting great parties. You can expect to
impress a lot of people who've never seen this side
of you.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child
might have to raise those powers of persuasion a
notch to get a still-wary colleague to agree to go
along. Finding more facts to back up your position
helps.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Hold off trying to fix
the blame for an apparent mishandling of a work
situation. A full investigation could reveal surprising facts on how and why it really happened.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your ability to find details others might overlook gives you
an advantage in assessing a possibly too-good-tobe-true offer. A trusted colleague has advice.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect
to be called on once again to act as peacemaker in
a long-simmering dispute that suddenly flares up.
Offer advice, but be careful to stay out of the fray.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your
organizational skills help you line up your priorities
so that you get things done without added pressure. The weekend could hold a special surprise.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) New ventures are favored. But don't launch
yours before rechecking all facts and sources.
Also, be sure you can rely on support from certain
people.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Don't be pushed into renegotiating an agreement, even though it might help avoid a potential
impasse. Get legal advice before you sign or agree
to anything.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Helping others is what Aquarians do so well. But this
time, someone wants to help you. Expect to hear
some news that will both surprise and delight you.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things go so
swimmingly that you're tempted to take on more
tasks. Best advice: Finish what you have now, then
enjoy a well-earned relaxing weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your understanding of
human nature helps you make wise decisions that
are appreciated by all. You would make a fine judge.
