Flying Cars Just Took a Big Step Closer to
Being Legal
By Jacob Bogage
The New York Eagle News/The Washington Post
I
t looks like a goofy mosquito, its fat cockpit shoving through the wind
while aloft, its wings folded up like a dragonfly while grounded. And it
marks the biggest step toward a real, commercial flying car.
The Terrafugia Transition earned an exemption June 19th from the Federal
Aviation Administration as a "light sport aircraft," meaning the federal government is on track to legalize the first flying car.
After a few more rounds of audits and paperwork,
the Transition, a two-seated flying thingamajig, can
take to the skies under the command of sport pilots,
a low-threshold classification. Terrafugia can also
commercially produce the aircraft without repeated
burdensome federal airworthiness tests.
Flying-car industry executives say their products
should enter the consumer market — albeit at a high
price — in the next decade.

Mary Lincoln's
Demons Blamed On
Vitamin Deficiency
By Michael E. Ruane
The New York Eagle News/
The Washington Post
S
he was ill-tempered,
moody, vain and insecure.
She berated her famous husband in public, went on shopping binges and made enemies.
She was called "the hell cat" by
some of the staff at the White
House.
First lady Mary Todd Lincoln, who also experienced the
deaths of three of her children
and the assassination of her
husband, was a troubled figure
in 19th-century American history. Later in life, she was temporarily institutionalized.
On Tuesday July 5th, a California cardiologist advanced
what he said was a fresh theory
to explain some of her behavior: She suffered from a deficiency of vitamin B-12, probably caused by an ailment called
"pernicious anemia."
John G. Sotos, who has also
studied the medical history of
Abraham Lincoln, detailed his
tisystem pernicious
anemia
would
clarify
[her conduct]
as First Lady
and widow, and
illuminate challenges faced by
her husband,"
he wrote.
The ailment
begins with an
autoimmune
attack on the
stomach, which
then stops making the chemical that helps
absorb dietary
B-12, Sotos explained in an

Service.)
"The symptoms
of
deficiency
appear months
theory in the journal Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, to years later, after the body's
published by the Johns Hop- storehouse of B12 is depleted,
and over time, symptoms arise
kins University Press.
Mary Lincoln's litany of ail- from more and more organs,"
ments and complaints was he said.
It's not clear how Mary Linoften thought to be, in part,
those of a hypochondriac, So- coln got it.

These Fake Turtle
Eggs Could Crack a
Black Market in
Animal Poaching
By Kerry Lauerman
The Washington Post
S
mooth to the touch and
perfectly round, these
ping pong ball-size eggs
could easily pass for any of the
millions laid and buried every
year by endangered sea turtles
on the beaches along the North
and Central American coasts.
That's the hope, anyway.
Except in this case, they were
laid by a 3D printer, and their
silicone shell carries a GPS
tracking device. They may just
help solve a turtle-egg poaching problem that has plagued
Central America and, more
recently, U.S. shores.
"We want to sneak them into
nests that are most vulnerable to poaching," says Kim
Williams-Guillén, director of
conservation science at Paso
Pacífico, the California conservation group that has created the egg that it hopes will

tracker, and weighs less than 2 ounces, about the same as a regular turtle egg.

fool poachers. "It would be really easy for them to grab one
of those eggs and not even notice it."
Paso Pacífico's phony turtle
egg, set to be deployed this
fall in Central America during
an arribada , or mass nesting
event, is just one way law enforcement and activists have
tried to crack down on the egg
poaching of sea turtles, nearly
all of which are endangered or
under high threat of extinction.
Just last week, a Florida man
was caught collecting 107 eggs
straight from a loggerhead turtle while she was laying them;
he could face a maximum five
years in prison and a $5,000
fine. In May, a federal judge
sentenced a California couple
to six months in prison after
they were caught smuggling
911 olive ridley sea turtle eggs
from Mexico. And last fall, a
Georgia man was sent to jail

The World
Turkey's Bold New Plan for Syrian
Refugees: Make Them Citizens
By Ishaan Tharoor
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
T
urkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan recently toured a
southern province close to the
Syrian border and announced a new
plan to cope with the huge population
of Syrian refugees in the country.
"We are going to help our Syrian
friends in offering them the chance,
if they want it, to acquire Turkish nationality," he told a group of Syrian
refugees in the city of Kilis. "We regard you as our brothers and sisters.
You are not far from your homeland,
but only from your homes and your
land. ... Turkey is also your homeland."
Details of the initiative — slated to
be run through the Turkish interior
ministry — are still being thrashed
out and it's unlikely citizenship will
be offered to every Syrian seeking
sanctuary in the country. But absorbing even a fraction of the refugees in
Turkey as citizens raises its own challenges and questions.
A huge population of Syrian refugees lives in the margins of its maSTEUBEN NEWS FROM PAGE 3

according to county Public Health
Department Director Darlene Smith.
The “Steuben County Dental Network” (SCDN) card enables patients
to receive reduced-cost dental care at
participating DenteMax dental practices throughout the region. Smith
told the county Legislature’s Human
Services Health and Education Committee July 8th the plan is ideal for
any county resident currently not
covered by a dental insurance plan.
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention stress that oral health
is essential to general health and wellbeing.
Sponsored by the state Association
of Counties and the Health Economics Group of Rochester, the network
is not an insurance plan, but anticipates significant savings for SCDN
members at participating dental offices. Services include an established
fee schedule for dental services, with
savings ranging from $30 - $50 (for
routine services) to several hundred
dollars for crowns and root canals.
The renewable annual cost is $36.50
for a single membership, and $52 for
family coverage.
Participating dentists can be found
nationwide, and locally include those
located in Painted Post, Horseheads,
Wellsville, Geneseo and Warsaw. Up-
jor cities and in refugee camps near
the border. Since the Syrian conflict
flared in 2011, the Turkish state has
kept the door open for those fleeing
the horrors of the war, a huge influx
that now stands at some 2.7 million
refugees.
The burden of hosting these Syrians has strained both the resources
of the Turkish state as well as led to
fears over militant infiltration into a
country that's increasingly caught up
in the destructive violence unleashed
by Syria's unraveling.
Until now, Syrians have been accommodated through a scheme of
"guest" permits to reside in Turkey.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees in
Turkey, frustrated by their status and
the limited opportunities available to
them, have chosen to make the risky
passage to Europe, often by boat.
According to the Financial Times,
the Turkish government is keen to
retain some of the more skilled and
highly educated Syrians in their midst,
many of whom are better equipped
to make the journey to Europe than
their compatriots. On a broader level,
Ankara simply has had to accept the
reality that hundreds of thousands of
Syrians are building new lives within
Turkey, and that a system should be in
place to better integrate them.
"We got a sense that we were getting very low-quality immigration —
poor, uneducated families, or in the
best case, businessmen who had some
money to set up a shop or factory
here," said a Turkish official, quoted
anonymously by the British newspaper. "That's why you were seeing these
ghettos in cities around Turkey, with
huge numbers of Syrians who were
unemployed and underutilized."
The FT suggests that the Turkish
proposal may mirror points-based
schemes for immigration that exist
in countries such as Canada and Australia, which reward applicants with
higher degrees and skills in desirable
sectors like information technology
and medicine.
"There are highly qualified individuals among Syrian refugees in Turkey," Erdogan elaborated this week.
"Western nations open their doors to
such skilled individuals and they have
no choice but go to the West when we
do not open the gates of citizenship
ourselves. We would like to benefit
from their knowledge."
Many in Turkey, though, are less
than thrilled with the idea. A hashtag
that translates to "I don't want Syrians
in my country" started trending soon
after Erdogan first voiced the idea of
naturalizing refugees.
"When we have so many jobless
qualified people in health, engineering and several other areas and as if
we lack human resources," said opposition politician Kamil Okyay Sindir of the center-left CHP party, "the
government is trying to push the argument that the Syrian refugees will
provide the human resources. This is
not acceptable."
"Some of the Syrians need to go
back," said Mehmet Gunal, deputy
head of the ultra-nationalist MHP
party. "If you start talking about this,
even those who are planning to go
back won't go back. It was wrong in
terms of substance and timing."
His boss, the controversial Devlet
Bahceli, took an even starker line: "It
would be a great contradiction for a
person who has lost the qualification
of being a Syrian citizen to have the
qualification of being a Turkish citizen."
Others point to a more positive outcome.
"This will have a psychological impact on the Syrians in Turkey. I believe they will try more to abide by
the rules and stay away from crime
in order to earn the right to apply for
citizenship," Ibrahim Kavlak, a member of the Association for Solidarity
with Asylum Seekers and Migrants,
told the BBC. "I think this would also
decrease the temptation amongst the
migrants to travel to Europe."
The proposed initiative also comes
at a moment when Turkey is wrangling with the European Union over
the terms of a deal regarding the resettlement of migrants. Ankara still
hopes to secure visa-free travel for
Turkish nationals to the EU. For opponents of that measure, the naturalization of Syrian refugees may add
further fuel to the fire.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Shows Promise for
Healing Soft-Tissue Injuries
By Marlene Cimons
Special to The New York Eagle
News/The Washington Post
W
hen I tore my rotator cuff
in 2008, I had conventional laparoscopic surgery to
repair it. The outcome was excellent,
but the recovery was long and horrible. The orthopedist wouldn't let me
drive for six weeks, or run, swim or lift
weights for three months. I suffered
through weeks of torturous physical
therapy. It was nearly six months before I felt normal again.
So in 2014, after a nurse improperly administered a vaccination that
resulted in chronic pain and an MRI
revealed another rotator-cuff tear, I
vowed I would not go through shoulder surgery (or its aftermath) again.
Cortisone injections and physical
therapy didn't help, so I decided to try
something else: platelet-rich plasma,
a therapy that uses the body's natural
healing properties to mend injuries.
Its practitioners believe it will transform orthopedics. Based on my experience with it, I think they are right.
It may not work for every condition,
or for everyone. But it worked for me.
Before undergoing PRP treatment,
I read quite a bit about it, learning
that it holds promise for healing softtissue injuries such as tearing of the
rotator cuff (the group of tendons
and muscles that provide stability to
the shoulder), tennis elbow, plantar
fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, patella
tendinitis and hamstring tears; it may
even provide relief for mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
"[PRP] works, and the results have
been amazing,'' says John Ferrell, the
sports medicine physician who treated me. "There still needs to be more
research done to perfect the process,
but [it] will change the way orthopedics is practiced in the future. We will
be more preventive. We will be able to
treat ailments noninvasively, and at
an earlier stage.''
The procedure involves collecting
several ounces of blood from a patient's arm, spinning the blood in a
centrifuge to concentrate the platelets
and injecting the concentrated platelets into the injury site to stimulate
healing. Platelets, the blood cells that
promote clotting, contain hundreds
of proteins, called growth factors,
which are important in repairing injuries.
"PRP works by acting like a stemcell magnet,'' says Ferrell, who practices at Regenerative Orthopedics &
Sports Medicine, which has several
offices in the Washington area. "It
releases growth factors that signal
stem cells to come [and] help regenerate the injured area. Rotator-cuff
tendon partial tears are notorious for
not healing because of the poor blood
supply there. PRP actually creates
new blood vessels that feed the tendon the proper nutrients it needs to
heal.''
A recent pilot study conducted
at the Glen Sather Sports Medicine
Clinic at the University of Alberta
on rotator-cuff tears supports this. It
showed tissue healing in five of seven
of the patients who received PRP, as
well as improvements in their pain
and function.
The researchers call the results
"clinically relevant,'' despite the
study's small size, and say the next
step should be a larger, controlled
clinical trial. "I've heard some skeptics
call PRP a cure looking for a disease,
but it is being used in so many areas
of medicine now with promising outcomes," says Marni Wesner, a sports
medicine physician at the clinic and
one of the study's authors. "The potential for benefit from PRP is real.''
I had my first appointment with
Ferrell last October to find out whether PRP might help me. By then, my
painful shoulder had been keeping
me up nights for more than a year.
It bothered me while swimming and
lifting weights, and while getting
dressed. By performing several tests
to assess my strength and range of
motion, Ferrell discovered that my
left shoulder — the site of the tear
— was considerably weaker than my
right.
He then used ultrasound to find the
tear and showed it to me on a monitor. It turned out to be larger than
indicated in the static MRI pictures I
had obtained earlier.
Before deciding whether PRP was
right for me, he had to be sure that
the tear was the source of my pain
and weakness. He injected an anesthetic into the tear, then he ran the
strength tests again. My strength was
significantly better. This meant that
The Picture

A lady comes home from her doctor's appointment grinning from

are you so happy?"
The wife says, "The doctor told
me that for a forty-five year old
woman, I have the body of an eighteen year old."
"Oh yeah?" quipped her husband,
"What did he say about your fortyfive year old butt?"
She said, "Your name never came
up in the conversation." ■

the tear was causing my problems,
and fixing it probably would restore
strength and function to my shoulder
and end my pain.
I had the first PRP injection on
Oct. 23. It was painful, and the aching persisted for about 36 hours. I
had one bad night, followed by an uncomfortable day. After that, the pain
stopped. Still, Ferrell advised me to
baby the shoulder — to use my other
arm when holding a dog leash and to
skip swimming and weights for two
weeks. Running was fine. He also recommended physical therapy after two
weeks.
After what I went through in 2008,
those were restrictions I could live
with.
Ferrell told me not to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, such as
ibuprofen, for a week after the injection because the goal is to encourage,
not stifle, inflammation. Other pain
relievers such as acetaminophen were
okay. "We want to stimulate an acute
inflammatory reaction, which will
trigger the healing cascade to start to
work,'' Ferrell says.
Because there is not yet enough research on PRP — and because some
studies have shown mixed results —
insurance will not cover it.
Still, "it has significant cost savings"
compared with surgery, Ferrell says.
The average treatment is two injections, which costs about $1,000 at his
practice, whereas rotator-cuff surgery
runs about $13,000, he says, although
insurance often covers most of the
Working Past
Age 60
What happens when your friends
all retire and you don't?
"Women Still at Work: Professionals
Over Sixty and On the Job," by Elizabeth F. Fideler, explores why senior
women are still working and what
happens when we do.
Fideler gathered her research from
both surveys and in-depth interviews,
comparing generations, economic climates and preferences.
Why are senior women still working? We enjoy what we're doing.
We're making contributions. We need
the money or the health insurance
that comes with the job. We're trying
to beef up our retirement nest egg.
We get more out of being engaged on
a daily basis with real challenges.
What happens when our friends
costs of surgery.
With additional research, insurance may ultimately pay for PRP.
Unfortunately, there is little financial
incentive to conduct such studies because there is nothing for the Food
and Drug Administration to approve, such as a drug or device. The
centrifuges already are licensed, and
the procedure uses a patient's own
blood, which is regarded as safe. The
American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons — which says PRP "holds
great promise'' — describes the risk
as minimal.
Those who seek this treatment
must look for a clinician with considerable PRP experience — someone
who does the procedure several times
a day, not once or twice a month —
and who has a good success rate, Ferrell says.
Moreover, "you see the greatest
results when the injections are done
under direct visualization with ultrasound," he adds.
By February, the ultrasound
showed my tear to be about 80 percent healed. The remaining tear was
quite small. Ferrell recommended a
second injection to finish the job.
I had it on March 4.
When I returned to see him on
April 12, I was feeling pretty good.
No pain, no problems. He rolled in
the ultrasound machine, and I was
not surprised by the results. The tear
was completely gone.
retire and we don't? We miss opportunities for socializing, unless we take
matters in hand and organize time
together when we are available. We
sometimes have to keep repeating answers to the question about why we're
still working, and try to explain the
sense of accomplishment we get from
continuing to work. This can be wearing. Instead, when the friendships no
longer fit, look for socializing opportunities in new areas where you don't
have to justify what you're doing.
There is one bonus to continuing to
work, despite the push to retire. Studies have shown that retiring early can
shorten one's life, especially if we've
worked for years. Another study of
6,000 participants showed that we'll
have a 15 percent lower risk of death
if we maintain a purpose in our life
and keep working. Anxiety and depression can be a result of retiring
when we really don't want to.
If you're considering retiring, take a
look at this book before you do. Go

find it in paperback, hard copy and

Staff Sergeant David Thatcher,
one of the two remaining Doolittle Raiders, died June 22nd in Missoula, Montana.
The Doolittle Raid was an air raid
led by pilot Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle
on Tokyo on April 18, 1942. Sixteen
B-25 Mitchell bombers carrying 80
crewmembers bombed military targets on the island of Honshu.

"It is likely she was predisposed to it
genetically," Sotos said. "Some people
have suspected that the same bacterium that causes ulcers . . . also triggers the autoimmune attack on the
stomach, but the question is far from
settled."
Mary's physical afflictions included
fevers, headaches, fatigue, a rapid
heart rate, progressive weakness, a
sallow complexion and tingling of the
skin, he wrote. All are consistent with
vitamin B-12 deficiency.
And her irritability, delusions and
hallucinations also are in line with
such a deficiency, he argued.

Thatcher was the engineer-gunner
on the seventh B-25 to take off from
the USS Hornet. After bombing its
assigned targets, the aircraft crash
landed off the coast of China. Thatcher was the only crewmember not seriously injured in the crash, so he took
charge getting his fellow airmen medical attention. He persuaded Chinese
fishermen to carry his injured crewmates to temporary safety. In doing
so, he saved the entire crew from capture. For his leadership on this day, he
was awarded the Silver Star.
Thatcher received an honorable dis-
charge from the Army Air Forces in
July 1945.
Fairchild Air Force Base held a commemorative event in April to honor
the 74th anniversary of the raid.
“I hope that airmen will continue to
honor the raid and remember what
was done,” Thatcher said, at the event.
Thatcher was recently VA’s #VeteranOfTheDay in honor of the raid’s
anniversary.

surviving Doolittle Raider. ■
the most detested public women in
American history," biographer Jean
H. Baker wrote in 1987. "And Americans . . . have unshakable opinions
about Mary Lincoln's failings."
But Sotos contended that "she was
simply a woman with a biochemically
injured mind struggling in a complicated, relentlessly demanding environment."
A native of Lexington, Kentucky,
Mary Todd and the budding politician and lawyer Abraham Lincoln
were married in 1842 in Springfield,
Illinois, according to Baker's biography.
She and her family lived briefly in
Washington, D.C., after her husband
was elected to his single term in Con-
gress in 1846 and returned after he
was elected president in 1860.
By then, one of her children had
died in Springfield, and another
would die in the White House in
1862.
It was while she was first lady that
her questionable conduct emerged
publicly.
She spent lavishly on White House
furnishings, shelling out huge sums
for china, wallpaper, carpets and
furniture. She spent the government's $20,000 four-year allowance
for White House refurbishing in one
year, Baker wrote.
She also spent heavily on clothing
and jewelry, seeking to emulate European royalty, even as the United States
was in the grip of the Civil War.
After her 11-year-old son, Willie,
died on Feb. 20, 1862, Mary took to
her bed for three weeks, overcome
with grief, Baker wrote.
Later, she dabbled in spiritualism
and attended séances in the White
House to try to contact her departed
son. She believed that he and his deceased brother, Eddie, appeared to
her in her room at night.
Meanwhile, her jealousies tormented her.
Three weeks before her husband
was assassinated, she attended an

Operation Gratitude needs our help.
Carolyn Blashek, founder of OpGrat,
recently sent out a request for funds
to ship 3,272 more care packages to
troops currently deployed in dangerous areas.
It costs $15 to send one box, so you
can do the math. It needs a lot of dollars.
Since its founding in 2003, Operation Gratitude has sent 1.5 million
care packages to our active-duty men
and women who are deployed overseas. Donations of items for the boxes
are given by large corporations and
small companies, individuals and
groups.
The boxes always contain excellent treats valued at nearly $100, and
might include videos, flash drives,
candy, books, toiletries, games and
more. Each one contains letters from
home. Sometimes there might be a
key to a brand-new vehicle that will
be waiting when the soldier, sailor,
airman or Marine gets home. Additionally, OpGrat now sends packages
to first responders, wounded heroes,
new recruits and more.
But the postage ... that's the big
problem. There are no government
handouts, no discounts from the Post
Office. It's all on us to help with that.
OpGrat always does a big push at
the holidays, and the goal this year is
to send out 250,000 packages as they
close in on the 2 million mark.

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.

Panning For Gold in a Swollen Stream of
Shoppers' Returns
By Abha Bhattarai
The New York Eagle News /The
Washington Post
T
hat phone case you returned
to Best Buy has ended up
here: in Ed Lawrence's garage,
where he is going through boxes of
castaway phone accessories.
"I take a look at the quality to make
sure it's reasonable or salvagable,"
Lawrence says as he sorts his latest
haul into three piles: sell, fix, trash.
A flowered phone case goes into
his 50-gallon trash can, followed by
a glittery case and another encrusted
with rhinestones. After that, a tablet
cover made of pebbled leather and
four packages of screen protectors.
"Here's another one I know is not
worth keeping," Lawrence says, as
he tosses away a blue MacBook case.
"The unimportant, the strange, the
no-name brands; they all go into the
trash."
Then he finds something worthwhile: a black LifeProof case for an
iPhone 6.
These waterproof cases are what he
calls "premium-dollar finds" — one
can easily fetch him $50 on eBay,
more if it's in a desirable color like red
— and they are what drive the bulk of
his profit.
"It's kind of like Christmas when
I find one of these," says Lawrence,
51, a former banker who now makes
$8,000 a month reselling returned

Rendleman for The Washington Post)
products on eBay. "But the thing is,
you just don't know how many good
ones you're going to get."
Lawrence, who lives in Richmond,
Virginia, has cobbled together a living
buying and reselling a small sliver of
the billions of dollars in merchandise
that shoppers return each year.
As Americans increasingly flock to
the Internet to buy clothing, toiletries, even groceries, they are returning more items, as well. An estimated
25 to 30 percent of online purchases
are sent back, about triple the rate for
items bought in-store, according to a
recent report by Worldwide Business
Research. For clothing and shoes purchased online, the return rate can be
as high as 40 percent.
The result is $260.5 billion worth
of returned items a year, a 34 percent

increase from 2010, according to the
National Retail Federation.
"There is no question that this is a
growing problem for retailers," said
Jim Rallo of Liquidity Services, a major Washington, D.C.-based company
that helps chain stores and manufacturers manage returns. “Think about
it: How many people do you know
who go to Zappos.com, buy five pairs
of shoes and decide to keep just one?
That's an 80 percent return rate right
there."
More than half of returned items
are put back on shelves, Rallo said.
But the rest — a mixer that's been
used once, say, or a set of sheets that
wasn't properly repackaged — are often liquidated.
"If a retailer tries to put that back on
the shelf — even if it's in great shape
but the packaging has been opened
up and messed with — well, who's going to buy that?" Rallo said. "Retailers
have learned over the years that consumers always go for the new."
In recent months, Liquidity Services, which has long specialized in
helping IT firms and government
contractors get rid of outdated tanks,
vehicles and machinery, has expanded its retail practice to deal with an
influx of online returns.
The shift to retail comes as the
company struggles to shore up its
government business following the
loss of a high-profile contract with
the Department of Defense. Last year,
Liquidity Services posted $397.1 million in revenue, a 20 percent decrease
from the year before.
The company now manages returns for 10 of the country's 20 largest retailers, including Amazon.com,
Home Depot and Best Buy, as well as
manufacturers including Sony. (Jeffrey P. Bezos, the founder of Amazon,
owns The Washington Post.)
Returned items often arrive directly
to one of Liquidity Service's six warehouses throughout the country. Some
items are refurbished and resold,
while others are auctioned off on the
company's site, Liquidity.com, where
buyers like Lawrence bid on boxes —
or palettes or entire trucks — of rejected inventory.
Back in his garage, Lawrence pecks
through his shipment of 116 items,
which cost him $220. He works
quickly, opening each package and
inspecting its contents.
"Here's another LifeProof," he says,
taking a pink case out of its box. He
turns it over and notices that the
headphone jack is missing.
"I guess that's why it got returned,"
he says. "But here's the thing: I have
extras I saved from other cases that I
can just plug back in."
He continues, item by item, until
he's finished. The entire process takes
less than 10 minutes.
He steps back and eyes the keepers: A stack of 25 brand-name phone
cases. If all goes well, he says he will
make $720 selling them on eBay, netting a $500 profit.
"This was a very good box," he says,
nodding his head with approval. "Not
all of them are this good."
--By the time a phone case reaches
Lawrence's garage — or his garbage
— it has probably traveled the world:
from manufacturer to retailer to consumer, then back again.
Liquidity Services has a variety of
arrangements with retailers and manufacturers. Some companies vet their
returned wares themselves and pass
on damaged goods to Liquidity Services to handle. Others have returns
routed directly to Liquidity Services,
which then trashes, refurbishes or resells the merchandise.
"A lot of what we decide depends on
the value of that product if it's going
to be resold," Rallo said. "If we can get
at least $75 on a secondary market,
that's usually enough to justify fixing
it up and reselling it."
There is a hierarchy, he says. A $30
Oster blender with a missing part
would probably be sold as-is as part of
a larger palette or shipped off to a recycling facility, while a malfunction-

ing $200 KitchenAid blender might
be refurbished, reboxed and resold.
"We obviously have been benefiting
from the increasing rate of returns,"
Rallo said. "Today, the vast majority
of our retail business, about 80 percent, is returns. That's where retailers and manufacturers need the most
help."
Returns are a rapidly growing part
of the company's retail business,
which Rallo says is expected to grow
about 40 percent this year, even as the
company struggles to recover from
the loss of a lucrative contract with
Wal-Mart in December 2014. Liquidity Services last year posted a loss of
$104.8 million that it attributed largely to the end of its business with the
world's largest retailer.
"Losing that Walmart contract was
a big deal for them," said Colin Sebastian, an analyst for R.W. Baird. "That
created a large hole in the company
and pushed both revenue and profit
margins a lot lower."
Liquidity Services, which has 1,300
employees, is hoping its renewed focus on returns will help make up for
some of those losses.
Even so, analysts say the company
faces a competitive market. Among
the biggest challenges, Sebastian said,
will come from auction houses and
regional liquidators.
"If you're the local or regional manager of Target warehouses, sometimes
it's just easier to deal with the local
guys than to start filling trucks of
stuff and sending them to Virginia
or New Jersey for online liquidation,"
he said. "The opportunity is large, but
there are also a lot of friction points."
--A couple of years ago, Lawrence
logged onto Liquidation.com for the
first time and made a $700 bet. He
bought a palette of 2,000 OtterBoxes
— those bulky phone cases favored
by baby boomers — and wondered if
he'd made a mistake.
Three-quarters of his haul went
into the trash; the rest went on eBay.
It took a few months, but Lawrence
made $5,000 selling those cases, a
seven-fold return on his investment.

Living Longer Means a 2nd
Chance at Those Life
Decisions You Now Regret
By Rodney Brooks
The New York Eagle News/The
Washington Post
I
've written quite a lot about the
fact that today people can live
just as long, or longer, in retirement, as they do in their working
lives. The lesson is you can't scrimp on
saving for retirement because it's likely you will live into your 80s or 90s.
Some people are using those active
years after their "first" retirement to
find encore careers or start businesses
— doing things they truly love instead
of the things they had to do for the
old careers.
Now there's a new take on those
post retirement years. "A Gift of
Time," a new study from Allianz Life
Insurance Co. says Americans are
embracing the opportunity to make
up for those decisions they regret,
such as the college they attended or
the career they chose.
"As Americans come to terms with
the fact that they'll likely live an extra
30 years, they have the opportunity
to look back and evaluate their past
decisions and consider the newfound
possibilities for the future afforded by
time," said Katie Libbe, Allianz Life
vice president for consumer insights.
According to Allianz, 32 percent of
Americans say they regret their major life choices. The biggest regrets
were not following their dreams (39
percent); not taking more risks with
their careers (38 percent) and not taking risks with their lives in general —
things like taking new jobs or going
back to school — 36 percent.
Thirty five percent also said they
wish they had been gutsier in their
choices and done things they really
wanted to do.
Fifty-six percent said they would
travel "extensively" or live in a different place and a quarter said they
would "take more risks in life."
Ninety-three percent say are happy
they can live another 30 years. (That
30 years is what the Stanford Center
for Longevity says is the average increase in life expectancy in the U.S.)
That extra time means more opportunities and different life and career
paths, including:
• Starting a new business, 29 percent
• Having a second career doing
something they really enjoy, 21 percent
• Volunteering and supporting the
environment, 19 percent
And finally, the survey respondents
said they realize that a longer life
means they have to do a better job
with planning in order to fund those
new life goals.

an index fund so people could invest cheaply and simply, Wall Street
made that happen. The exchangetraded fund is an example of a mostly
simple, less-inexpensive product that
has begun replacing mutual funds, a
product that has been mostly more
complicated and more expensive.
Other times, the Street creates a
monstrosity – products that are expensive, opaque and pointless – liquid alts come to mind.
However, merely responding to the
laws of supply and demand is not the
same as providing good professional
advice.
My colleague Josh Brown notes that
accountants tell taxpayers what they
can or can't deduct; lawyers make
decisions on legal strategy; doctors
come up with a diagnosis and recommend a course of treatment.
Which brings us to the latest stunt
in financial services: self-directed investors, who are now looking to hire
"validators." They are "using dedi-

s finance a profession, akin to
accountants, architects, lawyers
and doctors? Or is it a mere salesmanship gig, akin to those whose jobs
are to hawk as many autos, washing
machines or insurance policies as
possible that month?
I encountered this question during the recent debate over the Labor
Department's new fiduciary rules
governing retirement accounts. For
reasons that should be obvious, I support the stricter standard of behavior
for advisers, where they are obligated
to put clients' interests first.
Big Wall Street firms, however,
did not share my enthusiasm. Not
surprisingly, the Street lobbied aggressively for the lower "suitability"
standard, with less transparency and,
of course, higher – often much higher
– fees.
Ultimately, the regulators went with
a watered-down version of the fiduciary standard.
But this debate raised a fascinating
tangential question: Should advisers
do what a client wants, even when the
adviser knows it is not in the client's
best interests?
In theory, it's simple: Best interests
come first. In practice, it's more complicated.
Everybody in finance who is paid
by clients will eventually encounter
one who will insist on a service that
an adviser knows defies common
ly what is most likely to generate the
highest returns for the least amount
of risk over the long-term.
It's pretty simple: Either you buy
into our belief that neither you nor
I nor anyone else has any idea what
part of the world market is going to
do best next – or you don't.
You can do anything you choose –
just not with our firm. We don't offer
an a la carte menu. Either you drink
the Kool-Aid, or you don't.
Hey, no hard feelings. Lots of people want to chase the dragon, playing
the
stock-picking/market-timing/
hedge-fund game.
Now mind you, I won't claim that
the way I invest is the only way to
do so; nor will I claim that other approaches cannot or will not occasionally do well over the short run. And if
someone is fully committed to [insert
alternative investment scheme here],
we wish them the best.
We just say no, and we mean it. We
have fired clients who insisted upon
committing financial hari-kari.
Not everyone agrees with our position.
Indeed, the other side of the argument is that when the public demands
a certain type of investment or advice,
it is Wall Street's job to create a "thing"
to satisfy that demand. Taking advantage of these desires – "satisfying the
demand" – can be quite lucrative.
"Give the people what they want" is
one of the oldest laws of economics.
At times, this has turned out to be
a good thing – when Burton Malkiel,
author of "A Random Walk Down
Wall Street" urged bankers to create

sense and works against his or her
long-term interest.
What sorts of things? These:
• Taking on more risk than is prudent.
• Buying the hot new thing.
• Participating in an expensive,
underperforming private investment
(e.g., hedge funds, venture capital).
• Using excess leverage.
• Following the advice of pundits or
talking heads.
• Overtrading.
• Pursuing the latest media fixation.
• Speculating in commodities.
• Allowing emotions to steer investments.
• Buying low-quality, high-yield
"junk" fixed income paper.
• Buying nonliquid investments
(private equity, gated private investments).
• Market timing.
• Buying IPOs.
• Cherry-picking portfolio allocations.
Our answer to all of the above is no.
We politely decline to engage in what
all of the academic research suggests
is at best a statistically bad bet. We
are not in the business of speculating
with people's "real money," as numerous clients have described it. If you
want to make an expensive gamble,

plans out of it.

Sounding board? That sounds like a
recipe for only hearing what you want
to hear. Confirmation bias is not the
greatest basis for making financial
decisions. It also gives the client the
opportunity to blame the adviser for
missed opportunities that work out,
or for the positions that go against
the investor. It seems like a lose/lose
to me.

POACHING FROM COVER
_________________________
for 21 months after he was caught
stealing 84 loggerhead eggs; he already had been on probation for the
same crime.
Those don't seem like huge cases of
organized egg-theft rings, but "one
individual can cause a big issue," say
Ed Grace, deputy assistant director
for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
office of law enforcement. A stretch of
coastline may have only a few female
turtles, he says, and it wouldn't be difficult for one person to rob every nest
— and single-handedly drive away a
threatened species.
The eggs are a sort of low-brow
delicacy common in Central American and Latin American bars in the
United States. They're slurped raw,
like oysters — sometimes cracked
into a beer — or eaten when they're
hard-boiled with a little salt. They can
cost anywhere from $5 to $20 apiece,
Grace says.
"They're held in jars on top of the
bar," he says. "They're sold like peanuts."
And Grace says that that the slow
recovery of the sea turtles in the United States may be driving more cases
of egg-poaching. In recent decades,
greater focus on protecting different
species of sea turtle — nearly all of
which are classified as endangered —
has led to tougher laws and penalties
and greater local and federal enforcement. "Now that the population has
been rising, [poachers] have more of
an opportunity."
The problems with poaching in
Central America, though, are far
greater. The scale of the turtle nesting,
along with the associated poaching
trade, is massive — and can be deadly
to those who get in the way. In 2013,
a 26-year-old paid ranger, who was
policing leatherback turtle nests in
Limon, Costa Rica, was killed, likely
by poachers.
Williams-Guillén says that Paso
Pacífico developed its egg, which won
a grant from the USAID-sponsored
Wildlife Crime Tech Challenge, out
of its experience trying to prevent
poaching in Nicaragua. Paso Pacífico
collaborates with local communities,
and hires and trains "turtle rangers"
who monitor the beaches.

tense," says the group's founder and
director, Sarah Otterstrom. "There
can be thousands of turtles on the
beach at night. And if there isn't
protection, we can be pretty certain
that the beaches will be poached."
Paso Pacífico estimates that, without
guards, about 90 percent of the nests
are poached.
The fake egg is a way, Otterstrom
says, to shift the focus away from
the poachers — who make between
50 cents and $2 per dozen eggs in
Nicaragua — and to where they are
going, whether it's El Salvador, which
has relatively few turtle nests, or the
United States.
Do they envision using the tracking technology in their eggs to locate
poachers in action — and bust them
in real time? Not quite. They're most
interested in generating maps that
show how — and where — the eggs
are traded, so they can better understand the demand.
They're also going to make the results available to law enforcement
agencies, on both the local federal
level. "We're not planning on collecting data in real time, unless that's
something that they express real interest in," Williams-Guillén said. "It's
certainly a possibility."
Ultimately, she says, the goal is
"being able to determine the players

the trade. Being able to remove even

He was hooked.
"The more you do it, the better you
get at this," he said, adding that most
listings come with just a handful of
blurry photos, making it difficult to
tell exactly what he's buying. "I generally try to double my money on anything I buy."
Lawrence works out of his basement. He spends his mornings bidding on auctions and his afternoons
sifting through deliveries and posting items on eBay. He buys bubble
mailers by the thousands and keeps
a postage scale on his desk so he can
easily package purchases for customers. Most days, he sells 20 to 30 phone
cases.
"I won't be surprised if this one goes
right away," he says as he lists a lime
green LifeProof case with a beginning
bid of 99 cents. "The unusual colors
sell very quickly."
Lawrence has 448 active listings on
eBay, selling more than 1,300 products. They range in price from a red
OtterBox case for a Samsung Galaxy
(with a beginning bid of 99 cents) to a
black LifeProof case listed for $79.99.
He photographs each item using his
smartphone — a Samsung S3 encased
in a black OtterBox — and posts it to
the Web.
"I use a very disciplined approach,"
he says. "You've got to learn the market. The things that sell today might
not sell in a few weeks from now. It's
always evolving."
In his spare time, Lawrence is looking for a full-time job. He'd like to get

He used his severance package to
buy a LearningRx franchise, where he
offered "brain training" programs. A
year and half ago, he closed that business to shift his focus to eBay.
"Did I ever think this business
would get to be so big? No way," Lawrence said. "Never in a million years."
But it continues to grow. He bids
on several auctions a day and wins at
least one every few days. Most of the
items he receives have been returned
to Best Buy or Amazon, he says.
Occasionally Lawrence finds something strange or funny and sets it
aside to show his teenage daughters.
He received a four-pack of athletic
socks for a dog once and, just the
other day, ended up with a compression knee sleeve that he plans to give
to his daughter's volleyball coach. His
most lucrative finds are new iPhones,
which can command more than $100
apiece. Once he received a shipment
of 10 Samsung S-3s that he was able
to sell for a total of $1,300.
But he also receives a lot of junk.
Tucked away in his basement are bins
full of HDMI cables and heaps of

7 Kitchen Skills Kids Need Before They
Leave for College
By Aviva Goldfarb
Special To The New York Eagle
W
hen our oldest child left
for college last fall, I knew
I would miss him terribly.
But would he miss or even think about
home? We're really close, but Solomon
is an independent guy and had spent
plenty of time away, so I was pretty
sure he wouldn't be homesick. I was
happy to call him weekly, but I wasn't
sure what might prompt him to initiate a call or text.
The answer? A cooking question:
"How do I make that chicken? How
much lime do I use in that dressing?
What salad should I bring to a party?"
Even without a kitchen in his freshman dorm, Solomon found plenty
of opportunities to cook at friends'
houses and on team trips.
When he left for college, Solomon
was among the more kitchen-savvy
(and enthusiastic) boys in his crowd,
but some of my friends worry that

their kids don't have even
the most basic cooking skills
they might need in their next
phase of life. My friend Betsy
is pretty sure her son Alex,
who leaves for college in August, doesn't know what "sauté" means, let alone how to do
it. And despite Alex's facility
at making no-cook dipping
sauces, she can't recall him
ever boiling water to make
pasta (though she suspects
he could figure it out).
College students tell me
they cook, or at least aspire
to, for a number of reasons.
Some of the biggest are wanting healthier or tastier food
than what is available on
campus, saving money, being creative, managing food
allergies, or just craving
something homemade when
they're hungry.

vegetables. If using a gas stove, turn
the heat as high as it will go without
the flame extending past the edge of
the pot. Cover to bring the liquid to a
quicker boil.
- Sauté: If your kid can melt some oil
or butter in a skillet, they can scramble or fry an egg and sauté vegetables,
tofu or meat. Make sure the oil or
butter is hot before adding the food,
and stir occasionally with a spatula or
spoon to keep food cooking evenly. If
using a nonstick pan, preheat it with
the oil or butter already in the pan,
and use nonmetal utensils to avoid
scratching the surface.
- Bake and roast: I'm guessing your
child has baked cookies at least once.
But if not, teach them about preheating the oven, buttering or oiling the
pan to make cleanup easier, setting
a timer so food doesn't burn, using
mitts to take hot pans out of the oven,
knowing the difference between baking and broiling (we broil to brown
the top of food quickly), and using
high heat to roast vegetables or meat
quickly and effectively.
- Use a slow cooker: With the right
ratio of food to liquid, you can slowcook almost anything, from a whole
chicken, to soups and stews, to beans
or "baked" potatoes. Slow cookers
work at low heat for hours without
anyone needing to be home to tend to
it. Many college students tell me they
use this appliance more than any other because they can put the chicken
and seasonings in it in the morning
or early afternoon, then come home
to a hot and perfectly cooked meal
after class.
- Plan meals: If we teach our kids
how to plan in advance for a meal
or two, figure out what to serve to
make a complete and nutritious dinner, make a grocery list and shop, and
know when to start cooking each dish
so they will all be ready at the same
time, they'll have the essential skills
to cook anywhere, anytime. (My husband's specialty is cold scrambled
eggs with hot toast!)

ous, but remind kids about the importance of cleaning up after eating,
including wiping down counters and
closing packages tightly so food bits
don't attract critters. (Otherwise,
they'll be unlikely to want to cook
again too soon!)
Summertime, when the pace of life
may be just a little slower, is the ideal
time to get your teen cooking — especially if they leave in a couple of
months for their next phase of life.
Making one of their favorite things
to eat — whether it's burgers, salad,
corn on the cob, pasta or omelets —
is a great place to get them started on
picking up basic cooking skills. Many
families find it works well to have
each family member take on a meal
each week. They might even like to
make a checklist of dishes they'd like
to master before they leave home.
Let your teen decide how involved
or uninvolved in the cooking process
they want you to be. Chances are,
once they see how easy it is to cook
and how satisfying it is to eat something they have prepared, their confidence and interest will grow. You'll
both feel better knowing they can
start to build the base for a lifetime
of skills and meals to feed themselves,
their friends and families (even if
they still seek your advice by text
from time to time).

An Insecticide Controversy Comes Home
By Adrian Higgins
Washington Post
M
any homeowners want to
throw a lifeline to beleaguered bees and butterflies
by planting pollinator gardens that
will provide sustenance and habitat,
but the unwitting use of insecticides
may lure these beloved insects to their
doom.
The worry is that a common type of
pesticide known as neonicotinoids,
or neonics, will poison honeybees,
bumblebees, monarch butterflies – all
the species of insects that we want in
our gardens.
For a decade, neonics have dominated a frustrating quest to find a
cause for the loss of commercial
beehives in agriculture, but the issue has also moved into the garden,
particularly with new legislation in
Maryland. If the Pollinator Protection
Act is signed into law by Gov. Larry
Hogan this month, consumers will
not be able to buy neonic insecticides
after 2017. Farmers and licensed applicators could still use them.
The pesticide industry says neonics
are safe, that honeybees are doing all
right and that the law "inexplicably
blames homeowners for the nonexistent decline in bees." But those
who want to see broader restrictions
for neonics in the United States are
buoyed by it. Hogan has yet to announce whether he will sign the bill.
"It's important that Maryland be
the leader and show the rest of the
United States these are really harmful compounds and we need to limit
their use," said April Boulton, as-
implications and effects" of
the insecticides.
Doebel and others said
that most of the research on
neonic toxicity has been on
honeybees, because of their
agricultural importance, and
much less is known of the
effects on other insects, including hundreds of species
of native bees that are much
harder to track.
This was a central argument by environmental
groups commenting on a

This proved a seemingly perfect way
of targeting the aphids, flea beetles,
weevils, worms or whatever pest was
sucking the sap or munching on the
leaves. Even if you just treated a seed
with a neonic, it would grow into a
plant fully protected from pests.
Stephanie Darnell, a scientist with
Bayer Crop Science, said that restricting a systemic pesticide such as neonics, which her company produces,
could lead consumers to use more
products that are less discriminating
in what they kill. The Maryland bill
could also push consumers, she said,
to pay for lawn service agreements
with contractors with licenses to use
neonics.
By 2011, almost one-third of insecticides used globally were neonics,
creating a market worth $3.6 billion.
By then, the mysterious loss of
honeybees known as colony collapse
disorder had emerged to bring unsustainable hive losses to commercial
beekeepers, and researchers began to
link the crisis to the widespread use
of neonics.
The jury is still out on the cause
of the disorder, which is more likely
to be a lethal mix of stressors, particularly the spread of a parasitic bee
mite. Some studies show that neonics
compromise bees' immune systems
and ability to raise their young.
In spite of the absence of a clear
single reason, the movement against
neonics appears to be gaining trac__________________

Cannibals 2
Two cannibals, a father and son, are
walking down the street, when they
notice a hot girl passing by. The son
says to the father, "Daddy, I'm hungry,
let’s eat that girl that just passed by."
The father replies, "I've got a better
idea son, let’s take this one home and
eat your mother instead!" ■
that?"
The pouch, he says, is the best option he's seen yet.
"Because people still feel they still
have their baby in their arm," Schultz
says. "It's a little bit clunky but it's better than telling them to leave their
phones in their cars or forbidding it."
Graham Dugoni, 29, Yondr's founder, is a former college soccer star who,
after graduating from Duke University with a political science degree,
tried his hand at finance but found
himself increasingly drawn to music.
He had an epiphany while watching a
guy dancing at a festival.
"He was pretty drunk, and two
strangers were videotaping the guy,
and I watched them, over their shoulder, posting on YouTube," says Dugoni. "If a guy can't go to a concert
and just kind of let loose, what does
that do to all interactions in the social
sphere?"
Dugoni started Yondr two years ago.
He tested prototypes of the pouch at a
cabaret show in Oakland and also at
a school in Portland. Eventually, Dugoni cashed out his IRA, sold his Jeep
and found his first real investor, raising about $100,000 in total.
Electronic artist ZHU signed on for
a series of shows. Comedian Hannibal Buress, whose YouTube'd comments about Bill Cosby in 2014 made
him famous — a fact that came to annoy him — hired Yondr for a gig in
2015. During Oscar weekend, Rock
and C.K. used the neoprene pouch
for shows at the Comedy Store in Los
Angeles. Dave Chappelle, an early
booster, brought in Yondr for shows
last month.
Dugoni says the pouch serves two
purposes. The artist can try out new
material without worrying about it
being leaked. Fans will also realize
that they actually enjoy a show more
without constantly filming, texting
and Tweeting.
"If you haven't been to a phone-free
show, you just don't know what you're
missing," he says. "There's something
about living in real life that can't be
replicated."

n a cool, Manhattan night,
DJ Walton, who helps manage Alicia Keys, steps outside
the Highline Ballroom to tell the guy
at the door who, exactly, he may allow
to bring a cellphone into the singer's
sold-out gig. The list is very short.
"Like Queen Latifah," says Walton.
Benji Spanier nods and spreads
the news to everybody else. This is a
"phone-free event," he tells fans waiting in line. And that doesn't mean
airplane mode. Spanier holds a gray,
rubbery pouch in his hand. Your
phone goes in here, he says, and then
we lock it.
"What?" one fan grumbles.
Quickly, Spanier adds an important
addendum.

In the line outside the Keys show,
not everybody was so grateful.
"In this day and age, my phone is
how I keep my memory," said Gerard
Little, 24. "Chris Brown. Jason Derulo. I have their footage on my phone.
If you don't want your music heard,
then don't perform it."
Andrea Ostolaza, 29, said she
wanted to share the concert with her
friends who couldn't get in.
"If it doesn't have a flash or light, I
don't feel like it's disrupting," she said.
Others embraced the phone-free
zone.
"Nobody values people's music, nobody values release dates, and when
music gets leaked, it destroys the mystery," said Ahtivah Lawton, 22.
"It's annoying when people have
their phones out, lights blaring," said
Jackie Coward, 53. "They can't stop
texting. It's disrespectful, and I like
Alicia Keys. I don't need to put out
her stuff early. They should do this in
more places."
For DJ Walton, the manager, the
only real issue is that Keys planned
to premiere songs from her planned
follow-up to 2012's "Girl on Fire."
"We don't want the first time you
ever hear a song to be some (lousy)
mp3 somebody captured on their
phone," said Walton. "We have a 30foot stage and you're looking at it
through a four-inch iPhone. We want
people to come and almost forget
about their phones for a moment."

to pristine. Why? Simple. Rare, indeed, are the people who will spend
$106,325 — the full cost of this week's
2016 Range Rover HSE Td6 — to risk
common off-road damage.
Even rarer are those willing to
spend that kind of money on a Range
Rover Autobiography or Executive
model — $150,000 or more.
Why do you buy it? Do you get it for
the adventure of sleeping overnight at
a Sheetz truck stop, as I've occasionally done? Do you use it to take a long,
off-road guided tour, as I've done a
few times in my career? Do you get it
because you live in England on a large
country estate with wildlife in need of
monitoring and field hands to help?
Probably not.
The truth: This is where prestige
comes into the business of buying and
selling, folks.
The importance is this: Range
Rover genuinely offers prestige with
portfolio.
That means there is real technical,
practical and performance value in
the case. You have to make the economic decision as to whether you actually want or will need it. That is a
real decision.
Almost any bona fide full-time offroad vehicle can travel most roads
traveled by a Range Rover HSE Td6.
But can it do it as well? Not many of
them. No.
So what? It you seldom go off-road
or never plan to leave pavement, why
worry about it or spend more money
to do what you never have any intention of doing? Just in case? You might
as well buy every insurance policy the
world offers. It makes just as much
sense.
You can spend far less than $106,325
and get a safe, reliable, sport-utilityvehicle. Will it serve you reasonably
well on those rare off-road jaunts?
Probably. Just have it checked before
you go. Will it come with multiple
conveniences such as gradient- release control (reactive grounding response), intelligent start-stop for fuel
efficiency, hill start and hill descent
control? Probably not.
Bottom line: If you have the money to spend on a Range Rover HSE Td6,
buy it. If you are primarily in pursuit of prestige via vehicle, get it.
Ride, acceleration and handling: It generally is brilliant in all three areas. But
some broken roads will let you know that they are quite broken.
Head-turning quotient: It is a big Range Rover. No one misses it.
Body style/layout: This is a full-size, front-engine, full-time luxury sport
utility vehicle, meaning it can be outfitted to almost every conceivable personal whim.
Engine/transmission: It comes with a turbocharged (forced air) 3.0-liter
gasoline V-6 (254-horsepower, 443 pound-feet of torque) with 32 valves
and variable-valve timing. The engine is linked to an eight-speed automatic
transmission.
Capacities: Seating is for five people. Capacity with all seats in place is 32.1
cubic feet. With seat folded, it is 71.t cubic feet. Fuel capacity is 22.5 cubic
feet. Premium grade is recommended. The HSE Td6 can be outfitted to tow
7,716 pounds.
Safety: Standard equipment includes front and rear ventilated disc brakes;
four-wheel antilock disc brakes; emergency braking assistance; stability and
traction control; side and head air bags; post-collision safety system; precollision safety.
Note: The HSE Td6 comes loaded with advanced electronic safety systems.
Additional systems are available as options. You already are spending lots of
money. It is worth it. Spend more. Get them.
Pricing: The base price of the 2016 Rover Range HSE Td6 is $93,450 with
an estimated dealer's invoice price of $90,000. Price as tested is $106,325
including an estimated $12,035 in options (advanced electronic suites and
other items). Dealer's price as tested is optional. ■

Paris Says "Non" To 20th-Century
Cars, Bolstering Koolicar, Uber
cars.
People with small budgets will most
likely turn to public transportation.
Renting an urban car from Koolicar for six hours to ride 20 km costs
18 euros, including fuel. A trip with
the taxi-hailing app Uber would cost
around 35 euros. A round-trip metro
ticket costs 3.6 euros. Paris also offers
public-transport incentives to people
who scrap their old cars.
Individuals using old cars could
face a fine of 35 euros from October
1, and of 68 euros from the beginning
of 2017, according to French daily Le
Monde.
The ban may tilt the balance toward
car renting rather than ownership.
"In the very short term, it may not
bring that much to us, but it's a heavy
background trend," Koolicar's Lorentz said, echoing competitor Drivy.
"There are two models: the one
where everyone has two cars in his
garage, and our model, where you get
a car when you need it," said Drivy
founder's Paulin Dementhon. "The
more we make car owners pay for the
real cost of their vehicles, the more
incentives they have to use it moderately."
Teddy Pellerin, co-founder of
Heetch, a French ride-sharing app
created in 2013 that offers a service
similar to UberPop, says a driver for
the app can be reimbursed for the
cost of their new car and participates
in the renewal of the fleet.
Carmakers may not immediately
benefit from the ban since many oldcar owners may not be able afford a
recent vehicle, even low-cost ones.
But some in the industry say it bodes
well.
"We've been saying for a long time
that the most efficient answer to pollution in urban areas will be to [remove] old diesel cars," said PatriceHenry Duchene, head of sustainable
development for Peugeot maker PSA
Group. "In the short term, it is a global signal for the market that will boost
[removal]."

help it take flight, and it's not hard to
meet FAA weight requirements, especially with a waiver.
Terrafugia's waiver shows a path for
other flying car companies to get a
federal go-ahead. Between roadworthiness and airworthiness, experts
say, approval in the latter is much
more difficult to attain.
In other words, it's easier to make a
street-legal airplane than an air-legal
car.
The Transition, and models from
other companies looking to utilize
the light sport classification, have the
footprint of a large pickup truck. They
have side-view and rear-view mirrors

streets starting July 1 in a pollution fight that has car-share
companies saying "Oui!"
In a move to cut pollution, the
French capital is banning cars that
have passed the 20-year mark, leaving many Parisians looking for alternatives, from low-cost new vehicles
to car-sharing and taxi-hailing apps
such as Heetch, Drivy, Koolicar and
Uber.
"It will push individuals to drop
their cars and look for alternative
transportation modes," said Frederique Lorentz, marketing director for
the French car-sharing startup Koolicar, whose users can rent cars owned
by others through an app.
Paris, a laggard on air quality compared to other European cities, is barring cars registered before October
1997 and motorcycles registered before June 1999. The goal is to remove
vehicles that contribute around 5
percent of polluting elements linked
to diseases such as asthma. By 2020,
only cars registered after 2010 will be
allowed on Parisian streets.
The ban adds to scrapping incentives set up by the state. Car owners

But all that depends on clearing

"We've worked with the FAA, and

the future," said Paul Moller, president and chief executive of aviation

Light sport aircraft should weigh

people, have non-retractable landing
gear and strict speed limitations.
The Transition gained exceptions
to be heavier, caused by federal automobile safety requirements, and
to exceed the speed limits, because a
heavier airplane has to fly faster.
Pilots can operate the aircraft with
a "sport" license, which requires 20

NFL Training Camps Approach ... and Yes,
We're Still Waiting On the Deflategate Appeal
By Mark Maske
Washington Post
The Washington Post's Mark Maske
provides in-depth Monday morning
NFL analysis with "First and 10," a
dissection of the league's most important developments.
irst: Deflategate appeal awaits
Tom Brady and his legal representatives continue to await a
response by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit, you might
recall. (And how could you forget?)
Brady is still seeking a rehearing of
the ruling by a three-judge panel of
the federal appeals court reinstating
his four-game Deflategate suspension.
With the training camps of the
New England Patriots and other NFL
teams scheduled to open later this
month, that means that for a second
straight year camps will open leaguewide with Brady's unresolved playing
status being a leading topic of conversation.
If Brady's request for a rehearing
is denied, his legal options would be
dwindling but not fully exhausted. He
still could appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court, and he could seek a stay of his
suspension while the nation's highest court decides whether to hear the
case.
If his request for a rehearing by the
Second Circuit court is granted, there
is the potential for Brady to play a second straight season while the appeals
process plays out.
Yes, Deflategate will end someday.
But then what will we all do with
our time?
The Patriots are scheduled to report
F

straight summer, they will have to get
Brady, their four-time Super Bowlwinning quarterback, ready to play a
season while simultaneously readying backup Jimmy Garoppolo to take
over as the fill-in starter if needed.
Garoppolo wasn't needed as the
starter last season when Brady's suspension was overturned last September by U.S. District Judge Richard
Berman. Brady played last season
as the Patriots reached the AFC title
game but lost at Denver. His suspension was reinstated in April.
When the Patriots held joint practices last summer with the New
Orleans Saints in White Sulphur
Springs, West Virginia, Brady's former teammate Benjamin Watson said
the situation was difficult for Brady.

practice," the veteran tight
end, at that point with the
Saints and now a member of
the Baltimore Ravens, said
then. "He's going through
it. This is something that no
player wants to go through.
You have to go back and
forth between a court and
come back to practice, and
have that sort of distraction.
But I think this will be something that will pass over as
well as anything else. In a
month or so, we won't even
talk about it."
Nearly a year later, it continues to be discussed and
debated.
But if anyone can devise
a way to deal with such an
issue and turn it into an usagainst-the-world rallying
point, it's Coach Bill Belichick and
the Patriots.
"I think if anything they do a great
job of [tuning] out the extra noise, as
they call it, weeding out the riffraff
and the distractions," Watson said at
last summer's Saints-Patriots joint
practices. "That's something I can remember specifically Coach Belichick
always preaching. When they have
adversity, they do a great job of rallying the wagons, circling the wagons, getting everybody focused. I can
remember in 2007, the Spygate stuff
and there were all these accusations.
It brought the team together and they
performed tremendously."
The Patriots are about to put that
coping-with-controversy plan to use
again.
. . . AND TEN
Training camp is a time of hope for
every team. But not every team goes
into camp on equal footing.
These 10 teams will open camps as
the longest shots to reach the playoffs
this season:
1. Browns: Players in Cleveland say
things are changing under first-year
Coach Hue Jackson. But there was a
long, long way to go for Jackson to get
this franchise back to respectability,
and much depends at this point on
the ability of Robert Griffin III to recapture his rookie-year success while
with the Washington Redskins and
stabilize the quarterback situation.
2. Titans: Tennessee did a good job
this offseason of maneuvering to put
a better team around second-year
quarterback Marcus Mariota. But this
was not a quick-fix situation.
3. 49ers: Chip Kelly arrived as coach
and the 49ers kept Colin Kaepernick
in the quarterback mix. Were those
positive developments?
4. Chargers: The Chargers remained
in San Diego, at least for now, rather
than joining the Rams in Los Angeles.
A successful season might strengthen
support for public financing for a
new stadium but it's highly debatable
whether the Chargers have a team capable of making that happen on the
field.
5. Dolphins: Adam Gase, Miami's
new coach, made things work (at least
in relative terms) with Jay Cutler as
the offensive coordinator of the Bears.
But can he turn Ryan Tannehill into a
playoff-caliber quarterback?
6. Lions: Calvin Johnson retired
early and, after his years of coping
with Lions' futility, it's very difficult to
find fault with his decision.
7. Bears: Gase is gone. Will Cutler revert? And even if he doesn't, is
the team around him anywhere near
good enough?
8. Rams: It has been a very good
year for the Rams. They had their
move to L.A. approved. They traded
up for the top overall selection in the
NFL draft and used it on quarterback
Jared Goff. They helped to secure a
future Super Bowl for Los Angeles.
But being a winning team in Goff 's
rookie season might be too much to
expect.
9. Buccaneers: Jameis Winston
seems ready to be productive as a
second-year quarterback but the
Buccaneers opted against promoting
stability around Winston when they
dismissed Lovie Smith as their coach.
10. Jaguars: This team is getting better and Blake Bortles is showing signs

Limiting Pay for Play in
College Sports
By Noah Feldman
Bloomberg View
T
he odds have gone up that
the Supreme Court will consider whether rules governing
amateur participation in U.S. college
sports violate antitrust law. The central issue is whether student-athletes
should be compensated for their efforts.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA, was the defendant in the original lawsuit, and had
already asked the justices to review
the compromise decision issued by
a federal appeals court in 2015. Now
the plaintiffs' lawyers have agreed, filing a brief that argues the Supreme
Court should take on the case.
Agreement from both sides is no
guarantee the court will listen. But
it's relatively unusual — and worth
understanding if you care about the
future of college sports.
The backdrop for the current state
of play is the decision issued by the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit in September. The opinion
can be seen as a classic Solomon-style
effort to give something to each side.
Lawyers for the named plaintiff, Edward O'Bannon, and a class of similarly situated athletes, had convinced
the federal district court to rule that
the NCAA's amateurism rules preventing certain compensation counted as a restraint of trade under the
Sherman Antitrust Act. The district
court had then ordered two different remedies. First, it said the NCAA
could no longer bar member schools
from providing scholarships for the
full cost of attendance. Second, it said
the NCAA couldn't stop member
schools from compensating student
athletes up to $5,000 a year, to be paid
after graduation.
The Ninth Circuit upheld the basic
logic of the lower court's decision,
and analyzed the NCAA's amateurism rules from the perspective of
antitrust law. It upheld the order that
would effectively let schools provide
scholarships up to the full cost of attendance.
But the appellate court struck down
the more controversial piece of the
lower court's remedy that allowed a
paid salary. That decision smacked of
compromise, and indeed, one of the
judges on the panel dissented from
the part of the opinion that rejected
the compensation order.
The NCAA asked the Supreme
Court to reverse the decision. Its central argument is that the Ninth Circuit misunderstood a 1984 Supreme
Court precedent, NCAA v. Board of
Regents of Univ. of Oklahoma. In that
case, the justices applied antitrust law
to strike down the NCAA's exclusive
football television contract with ABC,
and in the process radically transformed the nature of college athletics
in the U.S.
In the course of reading its holding,
the court distinguished the television
contract from other aspects of the
NCAA's policies. It said that it was
"reasonable to assume that most of
the regulatory controls of the NCAA
are justifiable means of fostering
competition among amateur athletic
teams and therefore procompetitive
because they enhance public interest
in intercollegiate athletics."
And the court concluded by observing that "there can be no question but that … the preservation of
the student-athlete in higher education adds richness and diversity to
intercollegiate athletics and is entirely

585
consistent with the goals of the Sherman Act."
According to the NCAA, these
statements amounted to a holding by
the Supreme Court that the NCAA's
amateurism policies are procompetitive, not anticompetitive, under the
Sherman Act. If that were true, then
the Ninth Circuit couldn't contradict
that holding.
The best reading of the 1984 precedent is that it didn't mean to establish once and for all that NCAA
amateurism is procompetitive. The
words "reasonable to assume" strongly suggest that real-world evidence
could overcome the assumption. And
the justices' 1984 statement about
the value of student-athletes sounds
much more like a declarative dictum
without precedential weight than a
specific, self-conscious legal holding.
It even comes in a separate concluding paragraph to the opinion, which
would be a funny place for a whole
new holding.
Even if the Ninth Circuit got it
wrong — and I don't think it did —
the Supreme Court doesn't like to
take cases simply to correct errors.
That's why it's noteworthy that the
plaintiffs' lawyers have now argued in
their brief that the issue is so important that the Supreme Court should
take it on.
Their main justification is size: the
college sports industry now has revenues of $13 billion. That "would have
been unfathomable" in 1984 when the
earlier case was decided, the lawyers
say. They're certainly right about that.
But if the Supreme Court in 1984
never meant to preclude antitrust
analysis, as the Ninth Circuit held, it
isn't a very good reason for the court
to take the case.
The plaintiffs' lawyers are trying to
be strategic. They want the justices to

vacate the Ninth Circuit's compromise opinion and force the NCAA to
allow cash compensation for studentathletes. And in order to get there,
they're willing to risk the holding that
allows for enhanced scholarships.
It could possibly work. Agreement between the parties that a case
should be heard is some evidence to
the justices that an issue really needs
to be resolved. Yet this would have to
outweigh the virtues of the appellate
court's compromise, as well as the appearance that both sides are simply
seeking error correction.
There's also a sub-issue in the case, a
fascinating question of First Amendment law. The lower courts held that
student-athletes can sue the NCAA
for keeping money it makes from
videogame sales featuring the players' names and likenesses. The NCAA
says it should be protected by its freespeech rights. That issue is worthy
of its own analysis and discussion,
which I'll save for another column.
But the presence of the free-speech
issue might actually make it less likely
for the court to take the antitrust issue, since it's potentially confusing
and the court likes clean, well-presented cases.
The upshot is that you shouldn't
rule out a blockbuster Supreme Court
case next year on NCAA amateurism.
After just finishing a Supreme Court
term focused on abortion, affirmative
action and religious liberty, it might
make for a nice diversion.

Finding a Pet Sitter
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I love my two Corgis,
but my job as a nurse is demanding with long
hours, and sometimes I don't get home to see
them for over a day. My sister has been great,
dropping in to feed and walk them, but her work
hours are changing soon. I have to get a pet sitter, but I have no idea where to start.
− Sara in Dothan, Alabama
DEAR SARA: Set aside some time and start
doing research on pet sitters in your area, as
well as reading up on common services they offer. And ask around at work and anywhere else
you socialize: Word-of-mouth recommendations are valuable.
Pet sitters differ from dog walkers in that
they go above and beyond a walk. They spend
time in your home with the dogs -- from 30
minutes to overnight, if needed. They give them
food and water, their daily medication, monitor
their well-being and provide any additional services that you agree upon. Some pet sitters offer
long-term care in their home or facility if you're
away for several days.
Questions to ask your potential pet sitter include: How much does the service cost? Is the
sitter bonded/insured? How many other pets
does he/she sit for? Will the business owner
be the sitter or will an employee or contractor
do the job? If so, how are they screened and
trained? What happens if the sitter can't make
it? How does the sitter handle pet emergencies?
You can find more extensive lists at Care.com
and Pet Sitters International.
Contact at least three sitters and compare
prices and their responses to your questions.
That will go a long way toward finding the best
sitter for your Corgis.

Dallas Pastor T.D. Jakes
Says Fatal Police Shootings Have Left Nation
Frustrated, Fatigued
By Linda Childs
Exclusive to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
You have taught me, and continue do so, that all of us who love You are filled
with an abundance of Your love, joy and peace. The supply of these things is
inexhaustible, but it is up to us to make use of them, to receive them, draw them
deep into our souls and be ever cognizant of them in our daily lives. Because
You gave us free will, we must choose to avail ourselves of them, each moment
keeping them uppermost in our minds, hearts, attitudes and behavior. We always have the choice of acting, thinking, speaking and reacting from the place
of Your love, joy and peace. Establishing this extremely worthwhile habit often
requires us to use the self-control and discipline which You have also given us.
Like all things in our walk with You, these things take practice, and we will fall
short from time to time.
I have learned that if someone or something upsets me I should just let it pass
through me, not take hold of it, react to or own it, or talk about it. If I don't just
let it go, then I give life to it and keep it’s negative effect going inside of me, even
magnifying that effect.
If something hurts or distresses me, and I dwell on it, letting it keep replaying
in my mind, then I have taken what might have stung and turned it into a gaping wound that will not heal until I let it go. If I talk about it, tell other people
about it, the same thing happens—I magnify it. We can be angry about something someone said or did long after the incident is over with and forgotten by
that other person. Thus we are still being hurt by something that is in the past,
staying angry at a person who very possibly has forgotten all about it—if indeed
they were ever aware of it to begin with. We are angry and upset and they are
going about their lives unaware of our upset. In this way, we are only further
hurting ourselves, holding onto something negative and not walking in love, as
You instructed us to do.
I have found that the best thing to do in these situations is to overcome evil
with good, negative with positive. Instead of focusing on the offense, I strive to
focus on You, my love for You and Your love for me and all of Your children
here on earth. Instead of letting the wound fester, I cast my cares into Your
hands with praise and thanksgiving, and I usually do this out loud, as it takes
root in my mind and heart better that way. You are still on the throne, dear
Father, so I know that no upset can prosper in my soul if I don't allow it to. I
choose to magnify the Lord, giving voice to my love and thankfulness for all
that You are and do, and praising You with all of my heart and soul.
I know that this is often not the easiest path, but it gets easier each time we
choose it. I fervently wish that all of Your children would make the decision
each day to do things Your way, loving those around them as Jesus told us to.
The world would be filled with so much more loving-kindness, understanding
and compassion, and we wouldn’t be hearing every day about people whose
hearts are filled with rage and hatred, who hurt and kill innocents because they
don't know how to deal with it. If only they knew You... God, please bless all of
Your children in this world, and expand Your love, joy and peace in their hearts
and souls, so that there is no room left for bitterness, hate and violence. Thanks
be to God.
Amen
Matthew 22:37-40 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great
and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary,
repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit
a blessing.

heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.

Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything

trespasses.”

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will
never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Psalm 16:8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I
will not be shaken.
Psalms 37:5-7 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall
bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret
not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.

The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
I
t was Thursday evening, and pastor T.D. Jakes was at home, laying
out his clothes for the next day,
when he saw the first live TV scenes
of a sniper targeting officers who
had been escorting a downtown rally
against police violence across the nation.
By the time the rampage ended, five
officers were dead. And Jakes, pastor
of the city's 30,000-member The Potter's House megachurch, was devastated.
"It took me back to the assassination of President Kennedy," he said,
horrific bloodshed that occurred only
blocks from where the president's
motorcade had passed more than a
half-century before. "It was deeply
disturbing."
On Sunday, Jakes turned his regular service into a town hall meeting,
inviting into the pulpit Dallas Police
Chief David Brown, Mayor Mike
Rawlings and Saundra Sterling, the
aunt of the 37-year-old black man
who last week was fatally shot by
white officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Alton Sterling's death was captured
on video, as was the death of 32-yearold Philando Castile the next day in
Falcon Heights, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. Castile's girlfriend,
Lavish "Diamond" Reynolds, who
livestreamed the fatal police shooting, called in to the Sunday morning
service, telling the congregation that
"the police are supposed to protect
us. ... This shouldn't have happened."
Jakes, wearing a black suit and gold
tie, prayed for both Reynolds and
Castile's family. "Lord let justice prevail. Wrap your arms around them,"
he intoned.
Yet he also urged prayers for the
Dallas police force.
"This was a peaceful demonstration
that turned horribly tragic. These officers gave their lives protecting not
just black people but white people,
Latinos, people of all races. Let's
praise God for these officers," Jakes
said as people in the 10,000-seat,
capacity-filled sanctuary jumped to
their feet and applauded.
"Hallelujah," many in the congregation of blacks, whites and Latinos
responded. "Amen," others called out.
Ushers passed out tissues to many
in the aisle. One woman comforted
another next to her. "It's going to get
better, baby," she said. "It's got to get
better. The Lord will see to it."
The 59-year-old preacher said many
individuals, not just African-Americans but all races, are distressed and
finding various ways to express that.
Most are turning to peaceful protest
but some to violence, he said.
"We're seeing it in real-time speed
on social media, passing from community to community and 24-hour
news cycles of constantly being inundated with images of bloody shirts
and screaming children," he said. "It
is extremely traumatic. And until
leadership of all colors sits down at
the table and comes out of denial and
says we have a problem, justice will
wrongfully fall into the hands of those
who are not mature enough nor stable
enough to act in the stead of people
who are able to but won't act."
Micah Johnson, a 25-year-old Army
veteran, has been identified as the
lone gunman in Dallas. According
to sources, he was motivated by rage
over the deaths of blacks by police
and increasingly had been exploring
black nationalism.
But Jakes blames Johnson's "naivete" for his deadly response. "We are all
tired. But we can't kill people because
we're tired. We were tired in the '60s.
I think we are even more tired now,"
the pastor said.
He ticked off just a few of the fatal
police shootings of unarmed blacks
in the last two years, before Baton
Rouge, before Falcon Heights, going back to Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old
killed in Cleveland in 2014. "We've
gone through the judicial system. In
every case after case, the police officer
is exonerated," he said.
"We have not seen the weeping of
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In
the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Isaiah 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all
times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. ■
black women like this since the days
of Emmett Till," Jakes continued, recalling the Mississippi 14-year-old
who was murdered in 1955 by two
whites, upset that the youth had reportedly flirted with one man's wife.
Till's death — and the graphic images
of his corpse published by newspapers — galvanized the civil rights
movement.
This racial tension is something
the nation should have solved generations ago: "This problem is too old.
We're sitting here talking about race
in an era where we ought to be talking about terrorism. We ought to be
talking about biochemical warfare. ...

Q
: We've just booked a hotel
for a six-day trip to London
in September but have not
yet booked airfare. Round-trip (nonstop) airfares from the D.C. area are
running about $800-$900. Given the
Brexit situation, should we book now
or wait a bit to see if fares come down?
Any predictions on the value of the
dollar vs. the pound in September?
Any other advice for travel in England
during this slightly chaotic time?
A: If you're finding that airfare on
nonstop flights, I'd go ahead and
book. There's been chatter about
airfares to Europe heading lower because of Brexit, but nonstops will always be the last to see steep discounts.
If you don't mind connecting, you
may want to wait a bit to see which
way fares head.

"Why are we still dealing with a

what we ought to be outraged about."
Jakes, who has served as an adviser
to Presidents Barack Obama, George
W. Bush and Bill Clinton, thinks
elected officials must be just as focused today on fixing issues of civil
justice. Neither they nor the black
community can just wait for another
Martin Luther King to come along, he
said.
"Dr. King was masterful in that moment, critical at that time. But if there
is not another Dr. King, that does not
mean we cannot move our agenda
forward," the preacher noted. "You
cannot think of one person who became a Dr. King for the LGBT community. And look at how much they

Q: Is there a cheap way to buy foreign currency for a future trip? I'd like
to lock in some of the cheaper currency for a trip in late fall, but short
of prepaying for hotels, I can't figure
out how to do it. Most of the currency
conversion shops charge so much in
fees plus the buy/sell spread that it
wouldn't be worth it unless the Euro
suddenly shot up a great deal. Any
ideas? Or is this something that can't
be done on a individual scale?
A: Yes, you can buy a pre-paid,
euro- or pound-denominated Visa
or MasterCards, which will let you
avoid some of the fees. But the savings are likely to be minimal. If you're
traveling this summer, you're probably better off buying currency when
you need it, instead of prepaying for
it. You're also far less likely to lose the
card or the cash in a drawer.

and a dirty bomb? What do I do if I
am stopped for radiation detection?
What will TSA do if I set of the detectors?
A: I'm not a doctor (and I don't play
one on TV), but I don't think you will
set off radiation detectors five months
after treatment. But, just in case, I'd
get written proof from your doctor.

Q: I am doing the New York-SoHo,
Little Italy, Chinatown Free Walking
Tour on a Saturday. It ends around
noon at the intersection of Canal
and Baxter streets. We would like
recommendations on where to eat
afterwards that is not Chinese since
we are planning to have Chinese for
dinner. I'm looking for a laid back
place where I can sit and enjoy a delicious lunch with a relative who is in
her mid-70s and willing to try almost
any type of food from local pizza to
bulgogi.
A: Forlini's is a throwback-style
Italian joint that serves yummy basic Italian fare. It's been around since
1943 and is about a block from Canal
and Baxter.
— Carol Sottili
Q: I am just curious, is it wrong to
take a peanut butter sandwich on a
plane? Peanut butter doesn't have to
be refrigerated so it's a great sandwich
to take.
A: Not at all. I bring all sorts of
pantry items when I fly. However, I
don't know if you would have to ask
your seatmates about a peanut allergy.
Have we reached that point of disclosure now?
— Andrea Sachs
Q: Do you have any suggestions for
one night in August to break the trip
to Cape Cod with 1-year-old?
A: The little towns along the Connecticut Shore are adorable. You
might also enjoy the Thimble Islands area, not far from New Haven.
The Owenego is a lovely hotel with
a beach in its backyard, perfect for a
wee beachgoer.

Cucumber
Mint Salad
With Cheese
By Donna Erickson
Summary:
There are countless ways to enjoy
fresh mint from the garden, including this tasty salad, which I serve as
a side with grilled meat or fish. Ask
your kids to pick a few sprigs for this
recipe and enjoy prepping it together
an hour or two before your meal.
Ingredients:
• 1 English cucumber (also known
as a hothouse cucumber), about 12
inches long
• 8 ounces cheese such as cheddar,
gruyere, Havarti or mild provolone
• 20 fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and
freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
through the stem
• Sprigs of fresh mint, for garnish.
Steps:
1. Trim off the ends of the cucumber,
cut in half lengthwise and let your
child scrape out seeds with a spoon.
Pat the cucumber dry.
2. To dice, slice each half in fourths
lengthwise. Line up the long "sticks"
and cut perpendicularly to previous
cuts, creating cubes.
3. Dice the cheese in slightly smaller
cubes.
4. Remove any stems from the mint
leaves. Cut them using an easy chiffonade technique that makes the mint

look like fluffy ribbon: Stack eight
leaves neatly and roll them up lengthwise to make a tight bundle. An adult
should carefully cut bundled leaves
thinly crosswise, to make ribbonlike
pieces. Or, let kids cut through the
bundle thinly with scissors. Repeat
with remaining leaves.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, cheese, mint, mayonnaise,
salt and pepper. Fold in the tomatoes
and taste for seasonings.
6. Chill and serve garnished with a
sprig or two of mint. Serves 8.

MARY LINCOLN FROM PAGE 7
_________________________
Army review with him in Virginia.
Arriving late in a wagon, she became
enraged that the wife of a prominent
general was riding on horseback beside the president.
Mary confronted her husband and
began to rail at him in front of Army
officers, according to Baker.
"He bore it as Christ might have
done, with an expression of pain and
sadness that cut one to the heart," an
officer wrote later. "He pleaded with
eyes and tones, till she turned on him
like a tigress, and then he walked
away."
She demanded that the general be
fired for his wife's offense. He wasn't.
Calamity struck again when Lincoln was assassinated while sitting
beside his wife in Ford's Theatre on
April 14, 1865, and she was unhinged
anew.
Sotos wrote that although Mary
Lincoln left few surviving medical
records, he amassed a compendium
of hundreds of letters and historical
sources related to her health.
After the assassination, she moved
to Chicago with her surviving sons,
Robert and Tad, Sotos wrote. But in
1871, Tad Lincoln died there at the
age of 18, further afflicting his mother.
In the years after that, Mary suffered from auditory hallucinations,
paranoia and delusions.
In 1875, Robert, worried about her
well-being, sought a warrant for her
arrest on the grounds of insanity.
After a court hearing, she was ruled
insane and committed to an asylum
outside Chicago, where she was confined for three months.
After her release, she went to France
for four years, then moved in with her
sister in Springfield. She died there on
July 16, 1882, at the age of 63.
Doctors in those times knew almost
nothing about pernicious anemia,
and until the early 20th century it was
frequently fatal, according to Sotos.
Nowadays it can be spotted early
through routine blood tests, he said.
It is treated with B-12 pills or shots.
Mary Lincoln's misfortune "was living before treatment was available,"
Sotos wrote, "and before physicians
could make a diagnosis that would
have prevented 150 years of misunderstanding about her."

tion. The European Union has imposed a ban on three types of neonics
pending study. In the United States,
the EPA has put a halt on issuing
permits for new neonic pesticide
products and is reevaluating the environmental risks of neonics. Several
states besides Maryland are considering restrictions, and major retailers such as Lowe's and Home Depot
have said they will phase out the sale
of neonic pesticides and label plants
that have been treated. Ortho recently
announced it was removing neonics
from eight consumer pesticides.
One quandary for gardeners is
knowing whether annuals, perennials
or even woody plants sold at garden
centers have been treated with neonics, which can linger in a plant for
a year or more, as well as in the soil.

different growers.
My thoughts? I wouldn't want neonic-treated plants in my suburban
garden, given the risks to bees. I could
see using a neonic on a precious hemlock to ward off the woolly adelgid (as
a conifer, the hemlock wouldn't attract pollinators). If I had a specimen
ash tree, now at mortal risk from the
emerald ash borer, the choice would
be hard, although ash trees aren't
known as big magnets for insect pollinators, so it might be justified. I
would never treat trees that are bee
magnets, such as tulip trees, linden
trees, cherries and hollies, and fruit
trees, to name just a few obvious ones.
The bigger issue is the idea of reach-

ing for a pesticide to fix a problem,
which is often a symptom of something greater. Most problems can be
minimized by picking a plant developed by nature or a breeder to grow
in a region, to place it correctly, to
care for the soil and to live with a level of insect or disease damage. Weeds
are suppressed by the presence of
more plants and by the gardener with
a sharp hoe.
"We need to take a step back," said
Scott Black, executive director of the
Xerces Society and the co-author of
"Gardening for Butterflies." "We need
to work with nature rather than fighting against it."
