Women Increasingly Making Their Home

lthough Laura Jean Schneider comes from four
generations of Midwest farmers, she is uncertain sometimes about her agricultural acumen.
For the past two years, she has ranched cattle across
100,000 acres on the Mescalero Apache Reservation in
southern New Mexico with her husband. It is, she said,
dangerous work, compared with the farming she once
did in Minnesota with her family. For one thing, should
either she or her husband need immediate medical care,
it would be a hard ride over 27 miles of uneven dirt
roads that flood during monsoon season.
And at age 31, she suffers from debilitating migraines,
back pain and ongoing dental work following a near-fatal car accident a decade ago. There are bank loans, and
the West's ongoing drought, that weigh on her. Yet she
has learned the ropes, as it were, keenly observing how

as part of its continuing commitment
to help students further their education.
Applications are available to students of Avoca Central School, BathHaverling Central School, Bradford
Central School, Campbell-Savona
Central School, Hammondsport
Central School, and Prattsburgh
Central School for the club’s Frank
E. Nicklaus Memorial Scholarship,
Rotary Club Scholarship and the Ted
Markham Memorial Scholarship. In
addition, the Wes Payne Scholarship
and Interact Scholarship are available
to students attending Bath-Haverling
Central School.
There is $10,500 available for scholarships this year, according to Richard McCandless, chairman of Bath
Rotary’s Scholarship Committee.
Application deadline is April 1st. The
recipients of the scholarships will be
notified and invited to attend a weekly
club luncheon in May, at which time
they will be recognized for their outstanding achievement and extraordinary involvement in school and community activities. The scholarship
recipients also will be individually
recognized during each school’s annual year-end awards ceremony.
Students and guidance counselors in these school districts can find
applications and eligibility requirements listed on the Bath Rotary Club
website at www.bathnyrotary.org
Scholarships offered by the Bath
Rotary Club include:
Dr. Frank E. Nicklaus Memorial
Scholarship
Seniors from Avoca, Bradford,
Campbell-Savona, Hammondsport,
Haverling and Prattsburgh are eligible to apply. Dr. Frank E. Nicklaus,
who was born into a family of modest means, had to finance his own way
through college. He peddled newspapers in his youth and, while attending college at Ohio State, he worked
nights in a pharmacy and spent his
summers paving roads. After Ohio
State, he continued with his schooling and received a degree in dentistry from Rochester Eastman Dental
School. He distinguished himself in
his profession, including serving as
president of the New York State Dental Society.
Dr. Nicklaus chose to set up his
dental practice in Bath and served
as mayor for several years: 1949-
1951, 1957-1961, and 1962-1965.
He was instrumental in several significant events in Bath: the creation
of the municipal parking lot, soliciting the Westinghouse Corporation
(also known as Philips Lighting) to
come to Bath, and preventing the
village from being cut in half by the
construction of Interstate 86, which
would have destroyed prime land
for development. Dr. Nicklaus, who
was uncle to professional golfer Jack
Nicklaus, also served as president of
the Bath Country Club. Dr. Nicklaus
loved the Bath community and cared
deeply about its youth. He served as
Haverling School Board vice president for many years. He was involved
in the organization of the Bath Little
League and on June 15, 1949, Dr.
Nicklaus threw out the first pitch to
open the first game ever played there.
He also served the youth in the Bath
community through his membership
in Rotary Club and as its president.
Bath Rotary Club Scholarship
Seniors from Avoca, Bradford,
Haverling, and Prattsburgh are eligible to apply. Applicants for this
scholarship should use the Dr. Frank
E. Nicklaus Memorial Scholarship application form.
Wes Payne Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship is jointly sponsored by the family of Wes Payne, former director of Bath Electric, Gas and
Water System municipal utility, and
the Bath Rotary Club. It is offered to
Haverling seniors only, entering the
field of engineering, technology, or a
related study.
Ted Markham Memorial Scholarship
A new scholarship offered this year,
it is jointly sponsored by Rotary District 7120 and the Bath Rotary Club
in memory of Ted Markham, who
was a long-time Bath Rotary member. Seniors from Avoca, Bradford,
Haverling, and Prattsburgh, entering
environmental studies, agricultural
studies, or a related field, are eligible
to apply for two $1,000 scholarships.
The applicant must not be a child or
grandchild of a current Rotarian.
Steuben Veterans
Services Go "High-Tech"
The Steuben County Veterans Services Agency (VSA) now has a hightech way to help serve local veterans.
Agency Director Daniel McCrae
said the office’s new $2,000 Veterans
Information Management System
software will allow agency personnel
to enter claims information, which
can then be automatically transferred
to other appropriate forms. The system also allows the agency to run reports, McCrae said.
The county system also is compatible with the federal Veterans Affairs’
tracking system, according to McCrae.
The agency now serves roughly
4,100 veterans, according to agency
records.
The cost of the system will be covered by the county Information Technology capital project budget, with a
$700 annual maintenance charge paid
by VSA, according to county Manager Jack Wheeler.
For more information on services
provided by the county VSA, call
(607) 664-2528 or 664-2198.

Steuben County satellite offices

Network’s high-speed fiber-optic netIn recognition of his 42 years of
outstanding service to Rotary, Ted
Markham was awarded honorary
membership in 2012 by the Bath Rotary Club. He served on many committees and projects, maintained
perfect attendance for more than 25
years, and held several offices, including that of club president in 1981. In
1995 he received Rotary’s coveted
Paul Harris Award, which is the most
prestigious award given by the service
organization. In recognition of his
service and contributions to the entire community and Steuben County,
Markham was inducted in 2005 into
the Steuben County Hall of Fame.

ago.
County Manager Jack Wheeler said
plans are underway to link the main
county office building with the Seneca Street Building in Hornell, the
county’s mental health satellite offices in Hornell and Corning, and the
county courthouse in Corning. The
connections will eliminate the need
for separate Internet connections at
the buildings, reducing the cost and
increasing efficient communications
between the County Office Building
and its outlying services, Wheeler
said.
Steuben also will use the high-speed
fiber to link towers now used to communicate with emergency response
agencies throughout the region.
The $90,000 price tag includes fiber, equipment and installation and is
covered by the county’s Fiber Capital
Project, Wheeler said.
Spearheaded by Corning, Inc., Steuben, Chemung and Schuyler counties and the Southern Tier Central
Regional Planning & Development
Board in 2011, the dark-fiber, broadband network has boosted economic
development, public safety and communications in the area. The network
provides high-speed connections for
local schools, hospitals and businesses, and is expected to save the county
millions of dollars in maintenance
and upgrades to the current emergency communications microwave

degree in 1946 and his master’s in
1971, both from Cornell University.
In 1946 he began working for Cooperative Extension programs in Wyoming County. Fortunately for Steuben County, he moved to Bath and
became a county agricultural agent
for the Cooperative Extension Programs in 1957, a position which he
held until his retirement in 1976.
Markham worked with Dr. Konstantine Frank to bring the culture
of European grape varieties to New
York State. The area’s successful production of fine European-type wines
grown locally initiated a business of
major economic importance to the
Finger Lakes. Over the years many of
the local vintners turned to Markham
for advice and assistance.
As a founder and administrator of Mossy Bank Nature Center,
he worked to provide a site for recreational and nature activities. In
2007, the park was renamed the Ted
Markham Nature Center to honor
him for his years of effort, vision, and
dedication to the center. In addition,
the Village of Bath has benefited from
his various interests, including serving on the Bath Shade Tree Committee since its inception in 1963.

The World
In Japan, a Love Affair with Cats
By Midori Yamamura

C
ats are all the rage in Japan
these days — bookstores are
lined with dozens of photo
books featuring cute little felines, and
they're popular online as well. The
furry things are also gaining ground
on dogs as the pet of choice. Why are
they latching onto so many hearts?
There are about 100 titles on cats
in the photo books section of Yaesu
Book Center's main store in Chuo
Ward, Tokyo. Dogs are featured in
about 30 books.
"Ten years ago, there were more
books on dogs. But about two or three
years ago, cats caught up and quickly
took the lead," said Shinji Takasugi,
the store's PR manager. "Photo collections of free-spirited stray cats are
popular these days."
Calendars for 2016 featuring cats
are outselling the dog variety by about
50 percent at the same store. "Books
and calendars about dogs are generally breed-specific, but this isn't true
for cats," Takasugi said. "They sell to a
wide audience."
A search for cats on YouTube returns 3.88 million hits — about 1.6
times the number for dogs. Unlike
dogs, which tend to react to the camera, cats seem unfazed and go about
their affairs as usual. Cat owners post

Being Frozen 'To Death' Saved This Man's
Life. It Could Save Others Too.
By Sarah Kaplan
Washington Post
D
on Smith saw the boots first,
just the toes, peeking out
from a drift of snow along
the side of the empty road.
He brought his car to a stop, clambered out into the early morning chill
and peered through the half-light,
searching for a sign of his son.
"I looked over and there was Justin
laying there," Smith recalled last week
to Pennsylvania TV station WNEP.
His voice was tight at the memory
of it. "He was blue. His face — he
was lifeless. I checked for a pulse. I
checked for a heartbeat. There was
nothing."
The 25-year-old had been lying in
the cold for nearly 12 hours. It was
five degrees below zero, and snowing.
When emergency personnel arrived, they couldn't find signs of life
either. Someone draped a white sheet
over Justin's lifeless body. A coroner
was called to the scene, the state police started work on a death investigation. Meanwhile, a despondent Don
phoned Justin's mother to give her
the unimaginable news. Their son
was gone.
Except, he wasn't. Not according
to Gerald Coleman, the emergency
department physician on duty at the
Lehigh Valley Hospital early on the
morning of Feb. 21, 2015.
"My clinical thought is very simple:
you have to be warm to be dead,"
Coleman told the Hazelton, Pa. Standard-Speaker.
Coleman ordered paramedics to
start performing CPR on a man who
had no pulse, no blood pressure and
by all appearances had taken his last
breath half a day before. And almost
a year later, a week ago Monday, Justin Smith held a press conference to
thank him.
Smith's improbable survival tale
is a story from the cutting edge of
emergency medicine, and indeed, the
edge of life itself. Thanks to new technology and an ever-evolving understanding of what it means to be dead,
doctors are increasingly able to bring
"frozen" people back from the brink.
And they're starting to take advantage
of the same mechanisms that allow
the body to withstand seemingly lethal cold to save a whole host of other
patients — victims of gunshots, heart
attacks and spinal injuries; premature
babies on the verge of brain damage
— who might otherwise be considered beyond rescue.
The secret that saved Smith — and
countless others — lies in the way the
body slows down as it gets colder. According to Outside, metabolism slows
by about 5 or 7 percent for every onedegree-Celsius (1.8-degrees-Fahrenheit) drop in body temperature. At
95 degrees Fahrenheit, just 3.6 below
normal, a person will begin to shiver
uncontrollably. At 90, their lips will
turn blue and their speech will slur. At
82 degrees, they'll lose consciousness.
By the time their temperature plunges
into the 60s, their heart will stop beating altogether.
It's an alarming course of events,
but in some cases, like Smith's, it can
save a person's life. When a person's
body chills at the right rate, the associated slowing of metabolic processes
will protect them from the other effects of exposure. Their lethargic cells
don't require as much oxygen, so the
fact that their heart has slowed and
their breathing stopped is dangerous
rather than deadly. These people hang
in a state of sort of suspended animation, seeming dead by all the standard
measures, but not irreversibly gone.
If the patient is discovered before
their heart stops, and their doctor
knows to immediately begin CPR,
like Coleman did, they have a decent
chance of making it.
Smith, of McAdoo, Pa., had been
walking home from an evening out
with friends at around 9:30 p.m. on
Feb. 20 when something happened
— he thinks that he tripped — and he
fell into the snow.
He wasn't discovered until 12 hours
later. His body temperature was under 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees
Fahrenheit).
"All signs lead us to believe that
he has been dead for a considerable
amount of time," a paramedic had
said in a phone call to the hospital,
according to the Standard-Speaker.
But Coleman ordered them to start
CPR anyway, acting on an ICU truism: "You're not dead until you're
warm and dead."
"Something inside me just said, 'I
need to give this person a chance,'"
Coleman told the Standard-Speaker.
"This is probably going to be a futile
effort," he recalled acknowledging to
the paramedic. "But I think we need
to do our best for him. Okay?"
So they did their best. For two
hours, emergency staff pumped
Smith's chest and puffed breaths into

flown — through a dire snowstorm
— to another hospital branch in Allentown, Pa., according to WNEP.
Once in Allentown, doctors
pumped Smith full of warm, oxygenated blood using a treatment called
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Early that evening, his
heart began to beat on his own.
No one was sure, though, how
Smith's brain might have been affected by the prolonged period without
oxygen. Conventional medical wisdom says that the human brain can
withstand just four minutes without
oxygen before cells begin to die. But
Smith's case was anything but conventional.
When the 25-year-old awoke from
his coma two weeks later, he was disoriented and weak. But his brain was
unharmed. In the end, the night in
the snow cost Smith his toes and both
pinkies (all of which were amputated
due to frostbite) but, incredibly, not
his life.
Smith was released from the hospital in March and returned home on
the first of May. He is now enrolled
at Penn State and is finishing up his
degree in Psychology.
"I consider myself a miracle," he
said in an interview with the Standard-Speaker last week.
Coleman told the newspaper that

Isolated
Elderly
The news coming out of Maine was
beyond sad: An elderly woman was
found dead in her home, and she'd been
dead for two years.
Getting beyond the shock of that is
difficult. We ask: How could something
like that happen? How could no one
notice the disappearance of another human being, a neighbor?
When the former teacher first moved
to her rural property she'd been friendly
with others, but later she became reclusive. Because being alone seemed to be
her preference, neighbors didn't bother
her.
The police had been called a few times
to do a wellness check, but when the
door wasn't answered, they were unable
to press the issue. Eventually, because
icine moves forward in extraordinary
cases," he said. "His survival is a paradigm change in how we resuscitate
and how we treat people that suffer
from hypothermia."
That change is already in the works.
There are countless headlines and a
growing body of research about techniques that help bring nearly-frozen
people back from the brink.
"We've learned that there really is no
temperature so low that you shouldn't
try to save someone," says University
of Manitoba thermophysiologist Gordon Giesbrecht, informally known
among hypothermia scholars as "Professor Popsicle," told Outside.
A 2012 review article in the New
England Journal of Medicine found
that 50 percent of hypothermia patients who were treated with ECMO
recovered, even if they had been in
cardiac arrest for an extended period
of time. If those patients became hypothermic before their oxygen levels
dropped too low, they could even escape most long term damage.
Still, the authors note, there's a
surprising lack of standardization at
hospitals when it comes to treating
hypothermia. Not all facilities have
access to ECMO machines, and not
all doctors are even aware of the treatment. The truism "you're not dead
until you're warm and dead" still isn't
practiced everywhere.
But medicine moves fast. Even as
hospitals work to adopt new ways of
treating hypothermia patients, les__________________

taxes went unpaid and foreclosure was
imminent, the police did break in and
discovered the woman.
How many of us heard this story on
the news and said, "That could be me"?
How many of us, because we don't have
nearby family or friends who are still
living, could be in that same situation?
We need to explore our resources now,
before it's too late, and set up a system
whereby we won't be left unnoticed for
long periods of time, even as we guard
our privacy.
The best way to ensure senior safety
is with a phone-in program, where seniors are called every morning or have
to call in to say they're OK. It's available
in many localities. For very private people, this non-intrusive program can be a
lifesaver. If no one answers the phone, a
contact or the police will be called.
Short of that, we can arrange with a
neighbor that we'll open a certain window curtain every morning. Or we'll
swap phone calls. Or we'll collect the
newspaper off the porch.
Think about these things now, and put
something into practice.

sons from those same patients are
already being applied in a swath of
other areas. If extreme cold can keep
a person's organs alive even as they
lie frozen in the snow, the reasoning goes, then why can't it be used
to preserve the organs of people who
wound up in the emergency room?
It can, maybe.
At the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center, the New Scientist
reported in 2014, surgeons are experimenting with pumping a saline
solution into the arteries of critical
patients suffering from gunshot and
knife wounds to bring down their
body temperatures.
"We are suspending life, but we
don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science
fiction," said Samuel Tisherman, a
surgeon who is leading the trial. "So
we call it emergency preservation and
resuscitation."
The procedure buys more time to
treat the patient's injuries. After doctors have stanched the flow of blood
and repaired the damage, they can
gradually re-warm their patient by returning regular blood back into their
veins. Theoretically, it would work
not just in gunshot victims, but in
people suffering from a whole host of
other problems that stop or interrupt
blood flow to their brains.
The idea of chilling a person to save
them is not entirely new — as early
as the 1960s, surgeons in Siberia were
known to put babies in snow banks
before operations, according to the
New York Times. And doctors have
utilized therapeutic hypothermia
while treating pediatric heart patients
CATARACTS FROM COVER
_________________________
ple or any of their descendants will
ever see an ophthalmologist in their
lifetime is essentially zero," Ueltschi
said in a phone interview. "We have
the ability to change the course of this
disease by using physics-based simulation to teach people a surgery that
could take as little as five minutes and
be done at high volume so they can
cure thousands every year."
The operation, known as manual small incision cataract surgery
(MSICS), consists of making two
small incisions on the eye to loosen
and extract the cataract. After a lens
is inserted, vision is typically restored.
The procedure can be completed in
less than 20 steps and requires only a
trained surgeon, a sterile tool kit and
an operating room.
In China, where cataracts blind
400,000 citizens each year, there are
as few as five surgeons per million
people, the World Health Organization estimated. HelpMeSee plans to
begin a trial program there in April.
About a hundred students will be
trained in MSICS by resident instructors who teach the procedure using
HelpMeSee's simulator in tandem
with classroom learning.
"In the clinical way of training, it
takes years to create a good surgeon,"
said Jean-Marie Andre, a cataract sur-
7

for a while now.
But the idea of swiftly replacing
a patient's blood with salt water —
cooling and effectively "killing them"
to save them — is still somewhat radical. It was first demonstrated by University of Arizona-Tucson surgeon
Peter Rhee and his colleagues during
trials on pigs in 2000.
"After we did those experiments, the
definition of 'dead' changed," Rhee
told the New Scientist. "Every day
at work I declare people dead. They
have no signs of life, no heartbeat, no
brain activity. I sign a piece of paper
knowing in my heart that they are not
actually dead. I could, right then and
there, suspend them. But I have to put
them in a body bag. It's frustrating to
know there's a solution."
Currently, the technique is only
being practiced in human trials at
UPMC and the University of Maryland School of Medicine (where
Tisherman is a professor). And it's
not without controversy. For one
thing, doctors can't get consent from
patients before they try the as-yet unproven therapy, since it's only used in
emergency situations. For another,
a study sponsored by the National
Heart Lung and Blood Institute that
used a salt solution in trauma patients
without their consent was shut down
in 2009 because patients seemed to
die more quickly, without offering
much health benefit, according to the
Baltimore Sun.
On the other hand, it's assumed that
most patients who wind up in the ER
would opt for an experimental procedure when the alternative is almost
certain death. And researchers from a
number of institutions told the New
York Times in 2014 that they've perfected the procedure in studies with
pigs and dogs. About 90 percent of
animals survived in most recent trials, the Times reported.
Tisherman has not published the
results of his trial yet, but lives are
already being saved using a "hypothermia treatment." A procedure that
lowers body temperature by about 6
degrees celsius is now the standard of
care for premature infants and babies
who have suffered brain trauma, the
Wall Street Journal reported in 2013.
By placing infants on a blanket filled
with a cool liquid until their temperature falls and their heart rate slows,
doctors gain about 72 hours to treat
a health crisis while protecting the
brain from harm.
The procedure may have saved
young Mariela Lopez, who was born
just 5 pounds heavy and not breathing one day in 2013.
The tiny girl was rushed to the
University of California, San Francisco's Benioff Children's Hospital
for the cooling treatment while doctors treated her. A few days later, she
was slowly rewarmed, wrapped in a
blanket, and returned to her mother's
embrace.
"Sometimes we look at it like a rebirth," Susan Peloquin, a UCSF neonatal intensive care nurse who helped
treat Mariela, told the Wall Street
Journal. "They get whisked away and
cooled and now it's like starting over."
geon who established a training partnership through the Aix-Marseille
School of Medicine with West Africa
and now works as HelpMeSee's medical officer in Africa. "It's impossible to
train all the doctors needed and then
put them in developing countries at
this rate. The simulator is a major development because it can make a great
surgeon in less than three months."
Other common procedures that
remove cataracts, including phacoemulsification, depend on machinery
and uninterrupted power sources not
readily accessible in impoverished
nations, World Health reported. Lack
of equipment and practical knowledge often result in poor outcomes
for patients, with some even becoming blind afterward.
Ueltschi said reaching those in need
in poor economies depends on finding and training the right candidates
for its program. Each graduate will
be expected to find patients through
networking and conduct a minimum
of 1,500 surgeries per year using sterile, prepackaged tool kits provided
by HelpMeSee. Doctors will be paid
roughly $50 per procedure, depending on location.
Some companies are taking a different approach. BioDigital has created
an interactive 3-D model of the human body that allows users to explore
the different parts of anatomy and
learn the steps of operations through
online surgical simulation. The virtual creation is being used to train doc-
tors in underdeveloped nations on
corrective surgery for children with
cleft lips and palates through international charity Smile Train.
BioDigital Chief Executive Frank
Sculli said the company plans to begin working with Cure Blindness to
teach cataract surgery through use of
the technology in 2016.
"3-D technology is much more effective in educating and training people than any other medium to date
because it's scalable and can be accessed almost anywhere," Sculli said.
"It's not mainstream in medicine yet
because it's expensive and takes time
to develop, though we are moving in
the right direction."
The virtual-reality simulation being embraced by HelpMeSee isn't yet
widely used in medicine, though it's
entrenched in the aviation and aerospace industries.
Ueltschi's father, Al Ueltschi, cofounded FlightSafety International's
pilot-training schools that use simulators to teach people to fly. Often
called the father of modern aviation
training, Al Ueltschi began transferring his knowledge in simulation
training to the medicinal field prior
to his death in 2012 by working with
his son to start HelpMeSee.
The challenge now is proving the
simulator they've created will improve outcomes of operations and
reduce surgical complications in the
field, said Teodor Grantcharov, a professor of surgery at the University of

Slap in the
Face
For those who came by their service
medals honestly, a recent federal appeals court ruling was a slap in the
face. The court said you can wear
medals you didn't earn. It's protected
speech under the First Amendment.
To keep from giving him even more
press, I'll call the central figure in the
case ES, a three-year veteran who enlisted after the Korean War.
Forty years later he filed for PTSD
benefits, saying he suffered because of
the secret Korean combat missions he
went on. He claimed he had been injured and when visited in the hospital
by a captain, had been given a pile of
medals, among them a Purple Heart,
Silver Star and Navy Commendation
with V. The Department of Veterans
Affairs denied the claim (a written
narrative).
ES then resubmitted and used a
copy of a DD-214 that showed he had
earned a bunch of medals and had
been shot. Based on that, the VA gave
him $2,366 in monthly benefits. In
2006, it was discovered that the copied DD-214 was a fake.
ES is all over the court system. A review of documents has him testifying
at the trial of a man who offered him
$10,000 to kill a judge. After all, ES
was a trained killer, given all his medals. ES was investigated for wearing a
Purple Heart at the trial and was convicted of violating the Stolen Valor
Act (in force at the time), faking his
injuries to get benefits, forging his
DD-214 and more. He got 12 months.
He later appealed, bringing us to
today, where it's OK to wear medals
you didn't earn because it's protected
speech.
A fast Wiki-type search reveals that
only one of the 11 judges in the appeals court ever served in the military.
Naples Valley Dental Presents: “Incisor Insights”
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back
teeth. This material bonds into the depressions and grooves of these molar teeth.
The sealant acts as a barrier that protects the tooth from plaque and acids.
Brushing and flossing helps to remove food particles and plaque but toothbrush
bristles cannot reach all the way into the deep depressions and grooves.
Sealants protect these areas by "sealing out" plaque and food.
The likelihood of developing decay on molar teeth begins early in life, so children
and teenagers are obvious candidates. But adults can benefit from sealants as
well.
Sealants are easy for your dental hygienist to apply, and it takes only a few
minutes to seal each tooth. As long as the sealant remains intact, the tooth
surface will be protected from decay. Sealants hold up well under the force of
normal chewing and usually last several years before a reapplication is needed.
During your regular dental visits, the condition of the sealants is checked and
your hygienist will reapply them if necessary.
The key ingredients in preventing tooth decay and maintaining a healthy mouth
are twice daily brushing with ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste; daily flossing;
eating a balanced diet and visiting your dentist regularly.

PayPal Targets Millennial Shoppers with
'Easy Payment' Plans
By Spencer Soper
Bloomberg News
C
onsumers trolling Shop.com
may have noticed a marketing
hook more often associated
with big-box stores like Best Buy than
an online retailer. Under the product
description for a Dell Inspiron laptop
there's a PayPal Credit button that
says: "Enjoy Easy Payments."
The company is offering consumers
a choice between buying the machine
outright for a discount-or stretching the payments over nine months.
The enticement looks to be effective.
Since Shop.com introduced the option last July, average order sizes have
increased from $123 to $140 and
shoppers are buying more big-ticket
electronics, said Eddie Alberty, vice
president of strategic partnerships
at the Greensboro, North Carolina,
company.
"We're seeing more repeat customers from PayPal Credit," he said.
Expect to see a lot more of these
deals online as companies like PayPal,
San Francisco startup Affirm Inc. and
Swedish payments processor Klarna
push into a $2.6 trillion consumer
credit market long dominated by the
banks and credit-card companies. So
far, Amazon.com hasn't followed suit
in the United States, but its British
arm has introduced installment plans
on select purchases of more than 400
credit, including immigrants and
people just starting their careers.
As more and more Americans
shop online, PayPal and its ilk
could have an advantage over the
credit card companies because
the pitch to consumers comes
right before they're ready to pay.
"You get solicited for credit
cards when you are home going through your mail or surfing the Web," said Gil Luria, an
analyst at Wedbush Securities
Inc. "PayPal, Klarna and Affirm
offer credit at the exact moment
you need it. I really want that TV.

Dawson.)
Inevitably, there are concerns
that by offering more credit onpounds ($567). The goal is to make
credit applications as quick and con- line PayPal and other upstarts will encourage low-income shoppers to get
venient as clicking the buy button.
The digital payments companies are in over their heads. Depending on an
keen to grab a commanding share of applicant's credit-worthiness, Affirm

spending shifts to mobile devices, time, the ease of getting credit — just
PayPal, Affirm and Klarna see an op- push this button — could lead some
consumers to skim over fine print
portunity to change charging habits.
A key target is millennials, who explaining that missing a payment
tend to shop from their phones and incurs a penalty. PayPal, for example,
are starting to get married and buy charges a late fee of $35 — which can
big-ticket items — furniture, TVs, turn an interest-free promotion into a
washing machines — that are typi- costly transaction.
Merchants and payment providers
cally paid off over time. Another is
shoppers who have difficulty getting are looking for a smooth and easy
checkout; regulators want full disclosure of the rules. PayPal in May
agreed to pay $25 million in refunds
and fines to settle a complaint from
the federal Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, which alleged it
signed up online shoppers for credit
without their permission and forced
them to use PayPal Credit rather than
their preferred payment method. As
part of the deal, PayPal said it would
improve disclosure so shoppers understand what they're signing up for.
None of the online credit upstarts is
moving more aggressively than PayPal, which got into the credit business
in 2008 when it acquired BillMeLater,
which offered shoppers the ability to
pay within six months with no interest. That became PayPal Credit,
which as of Sept. 30 had extended
$3.4 billion in consumer credit.
Initially, the company offered a revolving credit line-like a credit card
without the plastic. Last year, PayPal
introduced Easy Payments in partnership with Comenity Capital Bank.
So far, it has signed up a few big merchants, including Canon, Keurig and
Shop.com in the U.S. as well as Apple
in Britain.
Last year, purchases using PayPal credit surged 27 percent through
Sept. 30, faster than overall transaction growth of 20 percent in the same
period.
The company uses proprietary algorithms to make credit decisions
based on each customer's PayPal purchase history, so someone with a low
credit score turned away by a bank
might get credit from PayPal. The
company's vast database gives it an
edge, said Steve Allocca, who runs the
operation. PayPal processed $70 billion in transactions from 173 million
customers in the quarter that ended
Sept. 30.
"We have much larger scale and
a rich treasure trove of proprietary
data," Allocca said.
PayPal co-founder Max Levchin
also sees opportunity in offering consumer credit for online purchases.
He founded Affirm in 2012 to offer
online shoppers credit for specific
purchases and has attracted $325 million in investments from such firms
as Khosla Ventures and Andreessen
Horowitz.
Online mattress startup Casper is a

major Affirm client, offering an $850
Queen mattress with no-interest financing that requires applicants to
make six payments of $142. Affirm
collects a fee from Casper on each
sale. Most Affirm credit applicants
are approved instantly after supplying their name, telephone number,
last four digits of their social security
number and date of birth. Those denied based on that are asked to give
Affirm view-only access to their bank
account so the company can determine based on their transaction records if they can make the payments.
Furniture is Affirm's biggest category, followed by apparel.
Affirm was designed to be a transparent transaction with no hidden
fees or escalating charges to appeal to
millennials who may have seen their
parents struggle with banks during
the credit crisis, Levchin said. "A lot
of our customers don't want a credit
card."
Casper met with Affirm before
launching so it could offer point of
sale credit for mattresses costing hundreds of dollars, CEO Phil Krim said.
"Extending payments over time, especially with no interest, is meaningful for consumers, whether they are
buying cars, mattresses or jewelry,''
Krim said. "We see it as a universal offering that appeals to all ages.''
Sweden's Klarna started U.S. operations last year and plans to unveil
a consumer credit offering with an
unnamed bank partner this year. The
company started in Europe by giving people 14 days to pay for goods
ordered online, to help increase confidence in e-commerce since people
would receive goods before paying
for them.
The company considers more than
200 variables when analyzing a consumer credit request, including the
type of device the consumer is shopping from, the time of day and where
the order is placed. Merchants are
eager to offer simple credit offerings
on mobile devices to convert more
mobile browsers into buyers, said
spokesman Erik Engellau-Nilsson.
"The experience on mobile is still
broken," he said.

Apple's App Store Made
$1.1 Billion Over
the Holidays
By Hayley Tsukayama
Washington Post
D
id you buy a few apps for
your new gadgets over the
holidays? You're definitely
not alone.
Apple said January 6th that customers bought $1.1 billion worth
of apps and in-app purchases in the
two weeks between Dec. 20 and Jan. 3
alone. They also set a new single-day
spending record, dropping $144 million on apps on New Year's Day. In a
release, Apple said that this broke a
record that had been set just a week
before, on Christmas Day.
While Apple set a new record this
year, the holiday app-related shopping spree seems to be in line with
what we've seen before: last year, the
company reported that it had made
"half a billion" in revenue in the first
week of January.
Overall, Apple said that customers
spent $20 billion on App Store purchases in 2015. Most popular apps
included games such as Minecraft:
BREWERIES FROM COVER

at a bar or liquor store. Previously ignored styles such as gose and Berliner
weisse have become trendy, while
brewers have a free hand to experiment with Belgian IPAs or saisons
packed with unusual herbs.
On the other hand, the expanding market — at least two breweries
open every day — has created a new
set of problems for brewers. New arrivals, riding the craft beer wave, are
finding it difficult to stand out. And
it's not as if bars have doubled the
number of their taps in the past five
years. So not only do the new breweries need to squeeze past their rivals
even to make it in front of consumers, but they might need to convince
bars that they're more deserving of a
chance than better-known beers from
Lagunitas or Great Lakes.
Graham MacDonald, the co-founder of Washington's new Handsome
Beer, estimates that his beers have
been sold at around 140 bars, restaurants and stores in the District and
Maryland since last fall. Even so, he
describes the process of getting into
those establishments as "a bit of a
challenge."
"There's been a huge influx of breweries who've come to market in the
last year," he says. "Only two or three
years ago . . . it was easy to go in and
say, 'Here's a new IPA, here's a new
pale ale, here's a new stout.' But now
it's not just the other new guys who
are making the same thing; it's all the

Pocket Edition, Trivia Crack and
Heads Up!, as well as messaging apps
such as Facebook Messenger, WeChat and Snapchat. In terms of topgrossers, Apple also noted that gaming and subscription apps did the best
this year, mentioning Clash of Clans,
Monster Strike, Game of War - Fire
Age and Fantasy Westward Journey
as well as Netflix, Hulu and Match.
The firm was also quick to note that
the App Store has made developers
about $40 billion over the lifetime of
the App Store, with roughly one-third
of that figure — about $13 billion —
coming from 2015 alone. Last year,
the company said that it had generated $10 billion in revenue for developers in 2014.
Citing a new Progressive Policy Institute report by Michael Mandel, Apple said that the company had created
1.9 million jobs in the U.S., including
1.4 million through the App Store for
developers, entrepreneurs and engineers, as well as some non-IT staff.
The App Store has consistently
been a selling point for Apple products and a growing area of revenue
for the company. That's particularly
important for Apple to highlight
amid persistent fears that sales of the
iPhone — by far the largest source of
the company's profits — are going to
slow down in 2016.
Many analysts have predicted that
the smartphone market overall,
while still drawing tens of billions in
revenue, will see slower growth this
year. In a presentation January 5th,
Consumer Technology Association
market researcher Steve Koenig said
that a number of factors, including a
strong dollar and weak economies in
parts of the world that had been driving new tech spending, indicate that
2016 will be a slower year for global
tech spending overall. Several analysts have cautioned that Apple could
see iPhone sales shrink for the first
time ever in the coming year — warnings seemingly boosted by reports
that the company has cut back iPhone
production.
The App Store not only provides
Apple with a distinguishing selling
point, but also helps to retain consumers and, in some cases, gets them
to buy more devices within the Apple
ecosystem. And Apple has been am-

"Colorado is the forefront of craft
beer in general. Making great beer
is just the barrier to entry. Five years
before us, opening a brewery was a
very cool thing to do. The difference
now is the amount of brands. There's
a finite number of tap handles at Falling Rock or Euclid Hall," two Denver
beer bars known for outstanding craft
selections.
Ratio's business plan didn't rely on
getting beer bars to put their Frenchstyle saison and Scotch ale on tap.
Instead, it called for 90 percent of all
sales to take place onsite. The brewery
built a modern-industrial taproom
that encouraged lingering, and it
made deals with local music promoters to host acoustic performances
and meet-and-greets with bands. For
outside the brewery, Ratio made arrangements with a handful of modern
restaurants and beer bars, "not necessarily the fastest-moving accounts,"
zumBrunnen says, "but establishing
the kinds of place we wanted to be
in," so that customers at those places
think, 'Oh, I've heard of them, I'll go
check out the taproom.' "
RAR Brewing, which opened as a
brewpub in Cambridge, Maryland, in
the summer of 2013, took the opposite approach. It began distributing its
beers around the Eastern Shore and
eventually in the District and Baltimore last fall, and the citrusy Nanticoke Nectar IPA became a hit. "Nectar

WOMEN RANCH FROM COVER
_________________________
cattle learn the landscape they live in,
and how not all of them are naturally
good at rearing their young.
"I rope, ride and build fence," she
says matter-of-factly. "This is what I
do. It's my job."
As unique as Schneider seems, she
is far from alone. According to the
U.S. Agriculture Department, the
number of women-operated farms
increased from 5 percent to 14 percent between 1978 and 2007. Today,
counting principal operators and secondary operators, women account for
30 percent of all farmers in the United
States, or just under 1 million.
As striking as those numbers are,
particularly when considering the
financial risks and physical demands
that accompany the work, researchers say they would like to learn more
about the full contribution these
women make, and what it means for
the future of farming and ranching in
the United States.
Researchers have observed possible
reasons why more women are farming and ranching. Some women regard themselves less as entrepreneurs
and more as gentle stewards of the
land, or bulwarks against corporations overtaking family farms and developers sweeping in with seductive
offers. Others are drawn to the farmto-fork movement, where locally
grown produce and meat hold much
greater appeal. Also, more women are
inheriting farms and ranches.
Downsizing and mechanization
have also made the work more affordable and less physically demanding
— although "smaller parcels tend to
require more physical labor because
they are typically managed using
hand tools and practices," said Bre-

anne Wroughton, program assistant
for the California Farm Academy at
the Center for Land-Based Learning
in Winters, California.
To that end, Green Heron Tools in
New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, is part of
a burgeoning niche industry that customizes farm equipment for women,
including a tractor rapid hitch, because the traditional tool for attaching and detaching parts "is at best
difficult and at worst impossible for
women (and many men) to safely
manage on their own," according to
the company's website.
None of this much matters, however, to Megan Brown, as she leans over
her squealing Red Wattle pigs with a
fork in her hand so that she can poke
and stroke their backs, which, she
claims, soothes them and stimulates
their appetites. Born and raised on
her parents' sprawling ranch at the
base of Table Mountain near Oroville
in northern California, Brown, 34,
has made a name for herself raising
her heritage pigs and selling their savory meat to local residents and gourmet San Francisco restaurants.
With a swashbuckling demeanor
that has attracted a loyal following to
her Twitter account (@MegRaeB) and
made her a regular fixture at agriculture conferences, she emphatically
calls for more women to, so to speak,
enter the field.
"My mother taught me to develop
as many marketable skills as possible,
so it's not just the ranching with me,"
said Brown, as she swerved her Polaris ATV across the rocky plateau skirting her parents' ranch. "I cure olives,
make beef jerky. I've planted tobacco,
I can skin my own deer. I got a tractor, and I can lift heavy things with it
myself. . . . I really believe any woman
can do what I'm doing."
According to the USDA, the women
who identified themselves as earning
their primary income from farming
or ranching run the gamut in terms
of what they produce. They raise
cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs and goats
in the West and Midwest. They are
viticulturists — or, as they refer to
themselves at times, "vit-chicks" —
who nurture malbec and pinot noir
grapes in California, Washington and
Oregon. They grow lavender, melons
and seemingly every other delicacy
under the sun. Some have taken on
teaching roles and find that more and
more women are joining their ranks.
"(Women's) enrollment in the
classes has been fairly consistent
throughout the last four years of the
program," said Wroughton, "and 51
percent of our graduates have been
women."'
And then there are women like
Donna Schroeder, who at 77 was never schooled in ranching but was clearly born to the land and still ranches it
in Shonkin, Montana.
She says she has no plans to retire,
despite admitting to a small profit
margin along with plenty of bank
debt and machinery upkeep. "If someone wants to do ranching these days,"
she said, "basically someone has to get
out so you can get in. There's only so
much to go around."
One of the few women to be inducted into the National Cowboy Hall
of Fame, Schroeder is wizened and
walks with a slight limp. Her husband
died more than 30 years ago; neither
of her two children live nearby nor
plan to take over the ranch when she
no longer can run it.
Cheryl Cosner, 52, who runs a sheep
and cattle ranch with her husband in
northeastern Oregon, speculates that
one of her two daughters could eventually take over. She studied agriculture economics and animal science
at a time when, she estimates, about
30 percent of her fellow students were
female. She later taught business administration in China and took art
classes that proved helpful when she
started marketing her farm products.
Last year, Brenda Kirsch Frketich
prepared to take over her family's Oregon farm. When her father retired,
he appointed her to work this 1,000acre Willamette Valley farm that has
been in the family for four generations.
She had proved her mettle: When
she was pregnant with her first child,
she was out in the fields — long days,
long nights, she recalled, when she
had to swath and cut the grass into
rows so that the dew would hold the
seed on the straw stems for when the
combine came through. She is now
32 and has a business degree. In taking over the farm, she oversees three
employees, seasonal workers and the
planting and harvesting of perennial
rye and tall fescue grass, wheat, crimson clover, hazelnuts, green beans,
Swiss chard, peas, cabbage and radishes.
"When I started with all this, I
was 11 years old," she said. "My feet
couldn't reach the tractor pedals."
While moving some records and
files into her new makeshift office,
she came across a weathered leatherbound ledger book, with orderly figures and notes marching across the
pages. She marveled at the detailed,
pristine penmanship, now fully aware
of her grandmother's essential role in
the family's business and legacy.
"You can learn the dirt, learn the
soil, you can learn the tools," Frketich
said, "but you also need to understand
the business. She did."

fleeting. This year, RAR plans to stay
in the spotlight by releasing limitededition beers in cans at its brewpub
"monthly, if not bi-weekly," Brohawn
says.
Many in the beer industry pin their
hopes for small breweries on localization: the idea that consumers would
rather drink beers made down the
road than across the country. Lary
Hoffman, who co-owns Galaxy Hut
in Arlington and Spacebar in Falls
Church with his wife, Erica, prefers to
stock most of the taps with Virginia
breweries, such as Blue Mountain,
Champion and Three Notch'd. "You
can get any style of beer locally now,
and the quality is on par with the best
beer in the world, so why not seek out
the regional option?" he asks. A handful of national brands, including Bell's
and Avery, show up on the 28 taps at
Galaxy Hut and the 24 at Spacebar,
but they're the exception. Customers
would be angry "if our draft lineup
looked like a Safeway shelf," Hoffman
says.
In national surveys conducted by
the Brewers Association, 67 percent
of craft beer drinkers said it was important to them that their beer be locally made, while 61 percent said it
was important that the brewery was
independent. Meanwhile, the craft
category is growing faster than the total beer market, and in 2014 reached a
double-digit (11 percent) share of the
marketplace by volume.
Those trends aren't lost on Terry
Haley, vice president for marketing
at World of Beer, which has 77 craftfocused locations along the Eastern
Seaboard and throughout the South.
Haley says his company tries to make
sure local and craft regional beers are
well represented among the roughly
50 taps found at each tavern, even
though "there's definitely a point of
emphasis to have what we call 'craft'
beers across the major styles: Stone,
Lagunitas; here in Tampa, Cigar
City's Jai Alai (IPA). You have to have
some of these standbys."
Of the 50 drafts at World of Beer
in Arlington two weeks ago, 12 were
from the DMV. They included 3 Stars,
Parkway, Oliver and Escutcheon, as
well as the more widely distributed
Devils Backbone and Flying Dog.
Other World of Beer locations had a
similar ratio: 14 of 46 drafts in Atlanta
came from Georgia; Louisville's 50
taps included 11 Kentucky or Indiana
beers.
Brewers Association economist
Bart Watson called the number of
brewery openings "pretty incredible,"
but he points out that America isn't
exactly saturated with beer makers:
In a 2014 article, he noted that the
United States has fewer breweries
per capita than the United Kingdom,
Germany or Latvia. Last summer, after the number of breweries hit 4,000,
Watson calculated that "there are also
nearly 1,000 cities with a population
of more than 10,000 that don't have
a local brewery yet, and numerous
neighborhoods in larger cities without a local brewpub or taproom."

Other markets are hyper-competitive. Mike Sardina, president of the
San Diego Brewers Guild, says that
while there are at least 100 breweries
in the county, there are also plenty of
bars that will give a shot to newcomers. "But the beer has to be killer from
a quality perspective, and the angle
has to be that it's not just another
pale ale," he says. "These bars support
San Diego craft beer to a degree that
they'll bring in any new beer, but if it's
not up to par, it's tough to get a second chance."
That law-of-the-jungle competitiveness will guide whether or not
new breweries make it, says Scot
Blair, owner of San Diego's Hamilton's Tavern, a fixture on national
"Best Beer Bar" lists, and the Monkey
Paw and South Park breweries, both
of which have been honored at the
Great American Beer Festival. "Local doesn't mean better," he says. "The
emphasis has to be on making good
beer. We have maybe 110 breweries in
San Diego. We were better when we
had less breweries, because we were
focused more on quality. It's like real
estate. Everybody jumps on when it's
a bubble."

The Big Boxes, Pushing the
Envelope
By Adrian Higgins
Washington Post
A
s I recall, there used to be a
decent interval between the
new year and the time when
the seed racks started to appear in
hardware stores. If you wanted to
get a jump on the season, or merely
to dream of the summer ahead, you
curled up with that quaint paper collation known as a seed catalogue and
circled the varieties that took your
fancy.
At a gentle pace, as you noticed the
gray days outside growing longer, you
would whittle down your selections
and fill in the mail-order form, knowing you had a month or so before you
needed the seeds in hand. Or you'd
amble in your own good time to the
retailer racks.
Today, as soon as the poinsettias are
shown the door, the seed stands go
up, bright and replete and full of the
promise of spring.
This is vexing on one level because
to the casual consumer, the displays
seem to be suggesting that this is the
time to start seeds. The central period
for starting seeds is from early March
to mid-April, but the business of germination is much more complicated
than that. You might start broccoli
seedlings indoors in about two weeks,
but you wouldn't sow a butternut
squash seed or a lima bean until late
May, directly into the garden and
when the soil has warmed up. Perhaps
folks know this, perhaps they don't.
If you start even cool-season varieties now — in a greenhouse or, more
likely for most of us, under lights
indoors — the seedlings will be too
elongated, rootbound and generally
stressed before it is safe to plant them
out in the garden.
There is much to be said for seed
starting, not just in saving money and
broadening varietal choice, but in getting to the whole essence of gardening, which is about the process of nurturing beauty. But it takes knowledge
beyond the seed packet descriptions,
and particularly it requires a sense
of timing best taught by experience
and observing other gardeners, and
not when the mass merchandiser decides you should consider purchasing
seeds.
That said, there are real advantages
to sniffing around the seed racks now,
even if you end up with a few impulse
buys. Keep your packets of living
germ in the fridge until you're ready
to use them.
Some seeds need attention soon.
The end of the month is the time to
start (indoors, under lights) leeks,
seed merchant. Not necessarily so, it seems. I opened the
$1.59 version of the sunflower packet to find 64 seeds. By
mail (or Web) order, the price
was $4.95 for 50 seeds. I did
the same comparison with
packets of parsnips and broccoli, and again buying directly from the seed merchant
would cost you: The prices
were $3.95 online vs. $1.37
and $1.49 from the mass
merchandiser. The cheaper
versions also had more seeds,
considerably more.
A voice in my right ear
told me that I shouldn't buy
these seeds at such discounted prices because they were

• A lint roller can dust a lampshade if it is
a soft fabric. The roller picks up dust without
grinding it into the surface the way a dust rag
might.
• "Use plastic wrap (or Press N Seal) to line
shelves -- even in your fridge. Spills are easily
and quickly cleaned up by removing said wrap."
-- P.E. in Washington
• Small toys and action figures can usually be
cleaned in the dishwasher. If you have a dishwasher basket leftover from when your children
used bottles, you can use them to contain small
toys. If not, they are inexpensive, handy and can
be found pretty reliably at rummage or tag sales.
• MYO dog treats with this great recipe adapted from DailyDishRecipes.com: Combine 2 cups
of flour with 8 ounces of jarred baby food. Mix to
a sticky dough. Roll out and cut out to desired
shapes. Bake in a 350 F oven for 20-25 minutes.
Store in a covered container up to 2 weeks.
• Epsom salts mixed with essential oils make
for a great tub soak. So relaxing and refreshing
on sore muscles. But did you know you also can
use the same mix in the washing machine as a
softener? It's especially nice for towels.
• "Here's a great way to organize in the shop:
Use chalkboard paint on the outside of cabinet
doors, and even drawer fronts. You can label the
contents, or use the surface to jot down quick
measurements if needed. Simple to erase when
you make a change. I write down references for
a project as I go, and it's easier to see than shuffling through scrap papers on my workbench."
-- A. in Montana
• Another great use for baking soda: Add a
cup or two to your toilet bowl. Swish and let sit
for 1-2 hours. Flush for odor control and shine.
• "To remove paint or stain from hands (even
oil-based), use an old dry washcloth with liquid
hand soap -- no water. After the paint is loose,
rinse with warm water." -- H.P. in Washington
• "I found a terrific metal magnet strip that
is for use in the kitchen. It was a great price
at a local resale shop. I have used it in my mini
workshop to hold jewelry-making tools by my
craft desk. It is especially handy now that I am
making many ornaments for gifts." -- E.L. in
New Jersey
• "Vinegar (1/3 cup) works just as well as
rinsing agents in your dishwasher. Simply add
it to the wash with your regular dishwasher
detergent. It can help with cloudy glassware."
-- W.C. in Washington
• "Another great use for a length of nylon
stocking, or a knee-high, as we used to call
them: Slip over your pet brush and poke the
bristles through. Brush your cat or dog as normal. When you're done, you can pull the kneehigh stocking right off and all the hair will be
caught inside!" -- P.K. in Pennsylvania
• "When you get to the bottom of a bag of
chips or a box of crackers, there usually are a
lot of crumbs. I save ours in a baggie, then add
them to breadcrumbs to bread fish or chicken.
They add a lot of flavor, and it's basically free!
It's funny, because I see packages of flavored
breadcrumbs at the grocery store, and they are
pretty expensive." -- R.L. in Virginia
• To clean hairspray residue off your curling
wand or iron, use rubbing alcohol. Make sure
the wand is cold and not plugged in. Dampen a
washcloth with rubbing alcohol, and simply rub
off the residue.

Behind the Wheel of the Obama Episode of
Jerry Seinfeld's 'Comedians in Cars'
By Dan Zak
Washington Post
J
erry Seinfeld couldn't shake off
the previous night's gig. Tough
crowd at a casino, he explained:
"Like stabbing a minotaur to death
with a kitchen knife." But now he was
in Washington, slipping into the buttery Naugahyde of a 1963 Corvette
Stingray, and rough edges blurred,
and women on Constitution Avenue
were yelling "Cool car!" at him instead of "Mulva?!"
"Ugh, what a car," Seinfeld said,
stepping out of it near the Capitol
Reflecting Pool in early December.
"What. A. Car. It's like having a hot
dog on July Fourth with Scott Carpenter."
Which is why he selected it to drive
to the White House and pick up the
president of the United States, the
guest featured in the show that kicked
off season 7 of his ongoing Web series
President Barack Obama and Jerry Seinfeld filming the episode on the grounds of the White House on
Dec. 7. (Courtesy of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee")
ing wisecracks with the star.
But this kind of showbiz cameo
– Barack Obama's episode debuted
online Dec. 30th – is business as
usual for the president, who has collaborated with entertainers to tout
his policies, burnish his public image
or nudge a national conversation. In
2014, he appeared on Zach Galifianakis's talk-show parody "Between
Two Ferns"
to talk up
HealthCare.gov
after
its
bungled
rollout.
This summer, he sat
in
Marc
Maron's
garage in

Angeles for a

view that
touched on race and racism. Just last

As the title would suggest, 1600 month, he appeared on NBC's "RunPennsylvania Ave. is a bit of a detour ning Wild," a nature-adventure show
for Seinfeld's show, which last sea- with British survivalist Bear Grylls,
son featured the likes of Jim Carrey, to voice his concerns over climate

podcast, Seinfeld jokingly suggested
that his production team should
reach out to the White House. The
executive producer of "Comedians in
Cars" did just that.
"This was an opportunity to pull
back the curtain for Americans on life
in the White House," the president's
press office said in a statement. "The
president and Jerry had a unique, candid conversation that focused largely
on the lighter side of the presidency."
Seinfeld came to Washington a day
ahead of his taping with Obama to
capture scene-setting footage around
town; unlike his usual guests, this one
could not go freewheeling with him
beyond the gates of the White House.
At the Capitol, tourists were beginning to notice Seinfeld, but only after
they noticed the car, a shimmering
mirage of silver-blue metallic in a
small parking lot on the building's
west front. Its back window, split
down the middle, sloped into a dorsal
haunch resembling its marine namesake. It was on loan from some rich
guy in Connecticut who had already
called the crew to ask about his baby,
which hadn't been out of his sight in
32 years.
"The lines," Seinfeld gushed, as if
describing the Ark of the Covenant.
He pointed out the spatial intimacy
between the body of the car and the
wheels – tight but not too tight. Then
Something to
Think About
• If man evolved from monkeys and
apes, why do we still have monkeys
and apes?
• If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it
considered a hostage situation?
• Why do shops have signs, 'guide
dogs only? The dogs can't read and
their owners are blind. ■
he gestured to a nearby Chevy Suburban, a brute hunk of black metal, one
of the production vehicles.
"See how much space is between
the wheel and the body? That's why
it's depressing. What's really missing
from the world are cars you can just
stare at," he said, hands on the waist
of his dad jeans, flaring back his navy
blazer. "We've decided it's more important to stay alive than look cool."
Jerry Seinfeld adores comedy and
cars – he values the pursuit of precision and mechanical perfection – and
a few years ago he combined them
with his love of coffee and launched
this series, which features short videos of wealthy funny people motoring
around in classics that only they could
afford. He picked up Ricky Gervais in
an ice-blue 1967 Austin Healey 3000.
He picked up Tina Fey in a candyapple red 1967 Volvo 1800S.
And in less than 24 hours he would
pick up Barack Obama in the Stingray.
He was nervous.
"You learn over the years how to
handle yourself when you're taken
out of your box and put into a situation that has different stakes and
different jeopardy," Seinfeld said. But
the anticipation of being with POTUS
for 60 to 90 minutes was different. "I
don't talk to anybody about tomorrow. I don't wanna talk about it. I
kind of like to pace around backstage
a couple minutes before I go on, so
I've been doing that for about five
days now."
The crew was also nervous, because the White House seemed nervous. The "Comedians in Cars" shoot
was arranged over the summer, but
now the San Bernardino, California,
shooting was still fresh; while Seinfeld taped B-roll, the president was
preparing for a prime-time address to
the nation.
Seinfeld follows politics, but it has
no place in his act. Political jokes rot
on the vine. He likes his bits to be evergreen. Still, he considers the highlight of his career to be performing in
the East Room in front of Obama and
Paul McCartney in 2010, and he can't
think of another U.S. president who
would be as good on "Comedians in
Cars" as the 44th.
"He's done some really good work
as a monologist at those correspondents dinners – that's how he qualifies to be on the show," Seinfeld said,
referring to the annual black-tie gathering of White House reporters.
"Where's Kramer?" shouted a
mustachioed tourist, eating popcorn at Fourth and Independence
as the Stingray glided past. "Where's
Kramerrr?"
Seinfeld, who's always looking for a
novel camera angle, suggested attaching a GoPro to the Stingray's windshield wiper.

Nuts & Bolts: 2016 Ford Escape
Titanium

A
s it is, depending on whose
numbers you believe, only 15
percent of our nation's people can comfortably afford – meaning
without sacrificing rent, mortgage,
food or utility money – a new car with
a current av-erage price of $33,566.
And that is a generous assessment,
assuming the buyers are living in
relatively high-income places such
as the Washington area. If you're in
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi –
you get the idea – you might have to
budget carefully even to buy, if you
can find one, a new car with a final
2016 Ford Escape Titanium. (Photo by Ford )
transaction price of $17,000.
I'm not talking about cash purchases, either. Nor am I referring to
traditional 36-month finance plans.
Nowadays, you are likely to carry a
note on a new vehicle as long as seven
years.

(315) 694-8674 (Dean Spoor - Proprietor)
For all those reasons, I have decided
to concentrate on reasonably affordable wheels in this space. Don't get
me wrong. I like expensive luxury
cars, as do, apparently, many of my
colleagues in this journalistic pursuit, who spend much of their time
and energy chasing high-cost, highhorsepower automobiles.
Heck, it is fun – but not fun many
visitors to this space can afford.
What they can buy and smile about,
I think, is a model such as the compact, all-wheel-drive 2016 Ford
Es-cape Titanium crossover-utility
vehicle equipped with an optional
turbocharged (forced air), 2-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine
(240 horsepower, 270 pound-feet of
torque).
Buyers shopping the Escape line for
a better deal can find one by selecting
a front-wheel-drive model in S or SE
trim or choosing one with a smaller
engine – a gasoline turbo 1.6-liter
four-cylinder (178 horsepower, 184
pound-feet of torque), or a normally
aspirated gasoline 2.5-liter four-cylinder (168 horsepower, 170 poundfeet of torque).
I'd buy the 2-liter, turbo four, allwheel-drive model only if I were in
a driving environment where I could
enjoy it – rural, long commutes, relatively uncongested highways, that
sort of thing. Otherwise, it makes
more sense to get one of the smaller
engines, especially in heavily congested urban areas.
• Bottom line: The Escape Titanium with all-wheel drive, excellently
equipped, constructed and designed, with reasonable fuel economy (22
miles per gallon city, 30 mpg highway), gets an enthusiastic "buy" here.
Ride, acceleration and handling: It gets good marks in all three.
Head-turning quotient: The 2016 Escape is one of the more attractive compact crossover-utility models – smooth appealing exterior with a high-quality, ergonomically sensible, well-crafted cabin.
Body style/layout: The new Escape is based on the Ford Focus car. It is a
compact, front-engine crossover-utility model available with front-wheel or
all-wheel drive and sold in three different trim levels – S, SE and Titanium.
Engines/transmission: A six-speed automatic transmission, which also can
be operated manually, is stand-ard for all models. The Escape driven for this
column came with an optional 16-valve turbocharged in-line four-cylinder
gasoline engine with variable valve timing (240 horsepower, 270 pound-feet
of torque).
Capacities: Seating is for five people. Cargo capacity with all seats in place
is 34.3 cubic feet. Maximum cargo capacity is 64.8 cubic feet. The fuel tank
holds 15.5 gallons of gasoline (regular grade works fine).
Actual mileage: I averaged 29 miles per gallon in highway driving.
Safety: Standard equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated
front, solid rear), four-wheel anti-lock brake protection, emergency braking
assistance, stability and traction control, post-collision safety system, childseat anchors, and front and rear air bags.
Recommended: Get the optional advanced electronic safety equipment. It
can save you much more than it costs.
Pricing: The 2016 Ford Escape Titanium with all-wheel drive starts at
$31,745, with a dealer's invoice price of $29,602. Price as tested is $36,070,
including $1,613 in options and an $895 factory-to-dealer shipment charge.
Dealer's price as tested is $33,562. ■
Ah, but Warren, what about "fun"
and "the joy of driving"? Hmm. One
of the benefits of getting older is that
you're far less willing to lie to yourself. I drive 40,000 miles annually
worldwide. All you have to do is once
be stuck in a traffic jam in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, or in a tie-up on California's

Explaining the Uneasy Alliance
Between Detroit & Silicon Valley
By Brian Fung, Hayley
Tsukayama
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
F
or the first time this year, buyers of some of the best-selling
cars on the market will be
greeted by a famil-iar logo when they
get behind the wheel. And it won't just
be the automakers'.
From the Honda Accord to the Ford
F-150, vehicles across the country
are adding support for in-car entertainment systems designed by Google
and Apple. Their slick software interfaces allow drivers to make phone
calls, pull up maps or directions, and
even summon streaming music —
using the same recognizable look and
feel of an iPhone or Android device.
The move by automakers to concede the technological centerpiece of
a vehicle's dashboard did not come
FORD ESCAPE FROM PAGE 16

Pacific Coast Highway to be cured of
the "joy of driving" silliness.
Does that mean the fun factor is
gone? Not at all. But I now check my
bank account very carefully before I
go zooming about somebody's back
road in a piece of expensive, highhorsepower metal. There is nothing
more humbling than being ordered to
appear before a local magistrate in a
small town whose speed ordi-nances
you have offended.
Besides, you can have great fun in
the turbo 2-liter Ford Escape Titanium. The little crossover-utility model,
neatly styled inside and out for 2016,
has character. It also is smart – literally, thanks to Ford's welcome upgrade
of its onboard intelligence system,
"Sync 3," a new touch-screen-enabled
system that is far easier to use than
the MyFord Touch system it replaces.
Ford, like most of its rivals, is investing heavily in mobile connectivity – steadily moving toward the day,
as impossible as it might seem, when
cars will drive us more than we will
drive them.
The new Escape Titanium is well
endowed in that regard, assuming
you are willing to pay for many of its
technological extras. Put it this way:
The base, front-wheel-drive Escape
S starts at $23,590. The 2016 Es-cape
Titanium with all-wheel drive, recommended by this column, has a
starting manufacturer's suggested retail price of $31, 745.
I write 52 columns a year for this
beloved journal – too few, I think, to
devote more than a couple to models
so expensive they can be comfortably
afforded by only 1 percent of the U.S.
population.
- The author's opinions are his own.
quickly or painlessly for Detroit engineers who have long prided themselves on their ability to understand
what consumers want from their cars.
Even more unnerving to some is that
Google and Apple soon may be releasing cars of their own.
Apple and Google have each received pledges from roughly 40 automakers to work with their technology. Yet even as executives from either
industry shake hands over these partnerships, there's a clear undercur-rent
of tension in the alliance between Detroit and Silicon Valley.
Software is as central to a car's
character as the stitching on its seats
or the feel of its steering wheel. And
some auto industry executives are
open about their need to partner with
firms that are on the front lines of innovation.
Many of these tech firms are also
launching projects — from driverless
fleets to ride-sharing models such as
Uber — that are expected to disrupt
the basic business of buying or leasing a car.
"Carmakers are definitely worried
that their business model is going to
be seriously threatened in the next
10 years," said Karl Brauer, analyst at
Kelley Blue Book.
Added a senior auto industry executive, who spoke on condition of
anonymity in order to speak more
freely: "It's interesting to see how Silicon Valley looks at us, and that's as
one word — prey."
In the face of disruptive projects
emerging out West, carmakers are
racing to bolster their technology
prowess. At the nation's biggest consumer electronics show three weeks
ago and at the Detroit Auto Show two
weeks ago, some of these companies
are recasting the industrial image that
has defined them for decades.
Gill Pratt, the new chief executive
officer of the Toyota Research InstiCOMEDIANS FROM PAGE 15

"Oh my God, that's genius," he said
after, watching the playback in a parking lot by the Capitol Reflecting Pool,
his voice reaching that Seinfeldian
pitch of hysteria. "Look at that shot!
This is so funny. Look at that crazy
angle!"
The gathering tourists started
chanting "Jerr-y! Jerr-y!" as he opened
the Stingray's door to drive to the Air
and Space Museum. He gave them a
wave, his cuff links glinting in the setting sun.
"I haven't been in here since I was
a kid," Seinfeld said, hot-footing
through the museum, sunglasses on,
so he could use the restroom.
Then back in the four-vehicle caravan, down around the Tidal Basin,
past the World War II Memorial,
onto Interstate 66 and the George
Washington Parkway. The crew mem-
tute, said that robotics could be a major business for Toyota in the future,
and perhaps eventually its primary
focus.
"The old joke is that Toyota is the
world's best manufacturing company.
They just happen to make cars. Times
have changed, and software and data
are now essential components of Toyota's future mobility strategy," he said.
"It is entirely possible that robots will
become for today's Toyota what the
car industry was when Toyota made
looms."
Two weeks ago, several automakers
announced partnerships that would
have seemed odd just a few years ago.
GM announced that it would invest a
half-billion dollars into the ride-sharing company Lyft — a busi-ness that
on the surface would seem to be competition to companies selling cars to
consumers. Brauer said the partnership should help GM absorb lessons
that will be crucial to its survival as it
adapts to a new era of mobility.
"The GM-Lyft alliance follows news
of a Ford-Google alliance, both of
which are only the beginning of a series of automaker-tech tie-ups we'll
see in the coming months," added
Brauer, the Kelley Blue Book ana-lyst.
"The rapidly-shifting nature of personal transportation has traditional
car companies scrambling to position
themselves for an uncertain future."
Meanwhile, Ford said two weeks
ago it would work with Amazon and
drone firm DJI to get cars to talk to
homes and drones. And even as it
signed deals with Apple and Google
to build info-tainment systems for
its cars, Ford said it would continue
to work to make its own proprietary
system an industry standard. Toyota
announced it would use Ford's system
and other manufacturers including
Subaru and Mazda, said they would
consider it as well.
Ford chief executive Mark Fields
said that the number of nontraditional competitors coming into the
indus-try has motivated the company
to innovate and be more tolerant of
mistakes and failure. He added that
the company has been drawing lessons from the ethos of Silicon Valley
after opening an office there, look-ing
at the consumer experience in a much
more holistic way.
"For years in this industry, we've designed vehicles in a certain way. The
switch engineer that does the turn
signal doesn't talk to the headlamp
switch engineer, and you end up with
an experience that, in our past, hasn't
quite worked," Fields said at the major consumer technology conference
here.
"As our vehicles become a part of
the Internet of Things, and as consumers give their permission to us to
collect that data, we'll also become an
information company," Fields added.
So far Detroit's record on creating
easy technology experiences for drivers has been mixed.
Consumers have expressed particular dissatisfaction with automakers'
info-tainment systems — the primary way consumers interact with the
technology of their cars. In 2013,
nearly two-thirds of respondents to
a Consumer Reports survey said they
had problems with those systems.
Those issues have persisted in recent
years, dragging down the reliability
ratings of some car brands, other surveys show.
Still, automakers can be defensive
when it's suggested that they don't
have the technical chops that their
tech counterparts do, and that they
may end up making shells to house
software from the Googles and Apples
of the world. Modern automobiles
are practically run on computers, after all. Sophisticated pro-gramming
helps monitor engine performance,
control idling speed and can even
bers hung out the open sliding door
of a minivan to get car-to-car shots.
Everyone was hooked up to walkietalkies.
"Jerry, can you come around to our
right?"
"They missed a turn."
"Let's meet them at Gravelly Point."
Seinfeld drove the Stingray onto the
grass as a jet screeched in for a landing at Reagan National Airport. The
sun was nearly gone. A chill took its
place. He emerged from the car and
walked to his getaway vehicle, a hohum SUV of negligible make and
model.
"A Festivus for the rest of us," a
biker in spandex called toward him,
and Seinfeld twiddled a couple fingers
in his direction, because you don't
deserve greater acknowledgment if
that's the best you can do.
The comedian was tired. The crew
would get a twilight shot of the car at
rest along the Potomac, but he headed back for room service at his hotel,
where he would continue to pace and
prepare. The conversation topics for
the president would be quotidian.
Seinfeld wanted to nab the normal in
an abnormal life, the nothing in the
everything.
"I wanna know how far he can get
in his underwear before it's weird,"
Seinfeld said from the passenger seat
of the SUV. "And can you really get a
good night's sleep in this place? It's
like 'Night at the Museum' to me,
sleeping in the White House. I just
had another question: Are you ever
talking to somebody and do you ever
think, 'This guy's out of his mind'?"
Everything went as scheduled the
following day. Obama drove the
Stingray on the White House grounds.
The pair chatted in a basement dining
room and Seinfeld asked about presidential bathroom routines, and the

Super Bowl 50: Focus Starts on Manning vs.
Newton, Ends on Two Great Defenses
By Mark Maske
Washington Post
E
ach week, The Washington
Post's Mark Maske provides indepth Monday morning NFL
analysis with "First and 10," a dissection of the league's most important
developments from a weekend of action.
First and 10:
FIRST. . .
DENVER -- It will be a memorable
Super Bowl no matter what happens.
It will be Cam Newton's first. It could
be Peyton Manning's last. The superb
defenses of the Carolina Panthers and
Denver Broncos will square off in less
than 2 weeks in Santa Clara, California.
The Broncos and Panthers took far
different paths on conference-championship Sunday to reach the sport's
biggest stage. The Broncos held on
via a failed two-point conversion try
by the New England Patri-ots with
12 seconds remaining to prevail, 2018, in a tense AFC title game and the
17th career meeting be-tween legendary quarterbacks Manning and Tom
Brady. The Panthers followed with
a dominant perfor-mance to overwhelm the Arizona Cardinals, 49-15,
in the NFC championship game.
Manning goes to his fourth career
Super Bowl, seeking his second title.
It will be his second Super Bowl as a
member of the Broncos. The previous
appearance resulted in a 43-8 defeat
to the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 2,
2014 in the first New York-area Super
Bowl.
Then, Manning just had won his
fifth league MVP award, coming off a
regular season in which he threw for
5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. Now
he returns on the heels of a regular
season in which he threw nine touchdown passes and 17 interceptions and
watched Brock Osweiler start at quarterback while he worked his way back
from a foot injury. The list of quarterbacks to have had a worse season and
still reached the Super Bowl isn't very
long, to put it kindly.
"You try to do your part and contribute," Manning said Sunday.
"When you're not able to contribute
be-cause you can't participate, you
try to be patient and work yourself
back into position to be available to
participate and to try to make a contribution. So there's different ways to
do that. And there's no question it's
been a different season and my role
has been different, and my contributions are different. But I'm for-tunate
and grateful to have the opportunity
to contribute still in some way. It's a
great honor to be going back to the
Super Bowl. Playing Super Bowl 50,
I'm really looking forward to it. It's
going to be a fun two weeks."
Manning was Osweiler's backup
on the final day of the regular season
before Coach Gary Kubiak turned to
him that day for a lift and then went
back to him as the starter for the postseason.
"I really tried to take it one week at a
time all season long through my injuries and some of the other things that
have gone on," Manning said. "Just
kind of staying in the moment, taking
it one week at a time, not assuming
that, 'Hey, this is how it's gonna be.
This is the final decision here one way
or the other.' So I tried to take it one
week at a time, stayed patient, and I
think that's served me well."

7. It was 1996.
Even before Manning knew which
team the Broncos would face, he
knew preparations would be challeng-ing and time-consuming.
"It's not really time to reflect," Manning said. "We have two weeks to play.
We're gonna play a team that we are
completely unfamiliar with. It's gonna be a lot of film study. . .. We'll enjoy
this victory tonight. It was a special
victory. It was a heck of a game."
Indeed it was, and Manning could
thank a Denver defense that was credited with 20 hits on Brady and sacked
him four times. Newton, the likely
league MVP this season, will present
a different challenge to Broncos pass
rushers Von Miller and DeMarcus
Ware, as a far less stationary target.
"I don't want the credit," Newton
said in an on-field interview with Fox
immediately following the lopsided
win over the Cardinals. "This team,
we won as a team. We came out here
and fought our tails off. We did what
a lot of people said we couldn't do.
It's not over yet. . .. I don't know who
we're playing yet. But we'll be ready to
go in two weeks."
Informed that he would be facing
Manning and the Broncos, Newton
said: "Oh, wow, playing the sheriff.
But anyway, we're gonna live in the
moment right now. We're gonna be
excited. I'm very excited about this
organization, happy for Mr. [owner
Jerry] Richardson, Coach [Ron] Rivera and the staff, and especially these
teammates of mine, man. It's great
that we all battled and worked so
hard. And for it to come to fruition
and pay off is great."
The Super Bowl potentially could
be Manning's final NFL game and, if
so, he will attempt to make a glori-ous
exit in the way that his boss, Broncos
executive John Elway, once did. It is
easy to make a case that Manning is
the greatest regular season quarterback in NFL history. The knock on
him has been his lack of postseason
success, especially when compared to
four-time Super Bowl winner Brady.
But winning multi-ple Super Bowls
would cast Manning's postseason efforts in a different light.
He secured his sixth career win
over Brady, and kept the Patriots
from reaching a seventh Super Bowl
un-der Brady and Coach Bill Belichick. Manning declined to address
the topic Sunday of whether BradyManning XVII was the final chapter
in the rivalry that defined their NFL
generation.
"I'm not gonna get into what-if scenarios," Manning said. "I've stated it
all week. I've stated it my entire career: I have great respect for Tom as
a player, as a friend and for the job
he's done as a quarterback for that
franchise. And for Coach Belichick. .
. I can't get away from either of those
guys. Just like today, it's always been
a tremendous challenge when we
play against both of them together
especially. My hat's off to their entire
team."
. . . AND TEN
1. Denver's defense
The Broncos led the league in total
defense during the regular season.
The Panthers ranked sixth in that category.
Several members of the Denver defense said Sunday they felt they hadn't
been afforded the proper respect by
outside observers during the buildup
to the meeting with the Patriots.
"Everybody said we couldn't cover," cornerback Chris Harris said.
"They said I couldn't cover [wide
receiver Julian] Edelman. They said
we couldn't cover all week. They said
they were gonna shred us all week. So
that made us angry. We had it written up every day. That gave us motivation. . .. I wanted to come out here
and prove a point."
Harris said the members of the
Broncos' secondary knew they could
give the team's pass rushers time to
get to Brady if they could take away
Brady's trademark quick throws to
receivers.
"We knew if we could take away
their first throw, make him pat the
ball a little bit longer, that we could
get back there," Harris said. "And
that's what we did. The d-line said
they needed three seconds, three to
four seconds. And that's what we gave
them."
The Broncos did have to do some
lineup-juggling in the secondary
when starting safeties T.J. Ward and
Darian Stewart left the game with injuries. Harris moved from cornerback
to help fill in.
"I had to learn another position on
the run because we had no more safeties. . .. It was hard, definitely, because
you have to think a lot more when
you're not playing your position,"
Harris said. "But we found a way to
get through the game."
Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib,
who played for the Patriots in 2012
and 2013, said it was particularly
grati-fying to beat his former team in
such a setting.
"Being able to beat them twice in
one year — all those guys, I'm still in
a group chat with those guys," Talib
said. "So I'm gonna be on them."
2. Ware's speech
Tight end Owen Daniels said he
and other Broncos players were inspired by a speech delivered Saturday
__________________
FIRST & 10 PAGE 19
night by Ware.
"It didn't really sink in that I was
playing in this game today until last
night," Daniels said. "It really hit me.
D-Ware got me choked up with his
speech to our team last night. It was
really emotional leading up to the
game. At times during the game I had
to kind of calm myself down-good
emotions and all very positive things.
. .. You kind of had to be there. . .. DeMarcus doesn't say a lot. But when he
says things, when he gets an opportunity to speak, we listen.
"He had a hell of a speech for us. I
was welled up. I know a lot of other
guys were, too. It was a special night."
The Broncos signed Daniels, a 10thyear pro who'd spent eight seasons
with the Houston Texans and one
with the Baltimore Ravens, as a free
agent last offseason. He had a pair of
first-half touchdown catches Sunday.
"It's why I came here is the opportunity to play in this game and to
play in the one we're about to play in
a couple weeks," he said. "Just to be a
part of the team is awesome. But to
have an impact with the couple plays
I had today means the world to me. .
.. It was pretty cool to get in the end
zone a couple times in the championship game. . .. I'm kind of at a loss for
words. It's exactly what I wanted. And
that doesn't always happen. It's been
10 years. It's a long time waiting for
an opportunity to play in this game.
To win this game was well worth the
wait."
3. Postseason officiating
It was a regular season filled with
officiating controversies, from ongoing confusion over the NFL's catch
rule to outcome-changing missed
calls that led to the league acknowledging some significant mistakes.
That prompted the league to make
a change to its officiating procedures
for this postseason, giving mem-bers
of the NFL's officiating department
more leeway to communicate with
the on-field officials over ad-ministrative issues.
Whether that has had an effect or
not, the postseason has been relatively quiet in terms of tempestuous-ness
over the officiating.
There was a botched coin flip in
overtime of the NFC semifinal in
Arizona. But that had no effect on
the outcome of the game, given that
the Cardinals won both coin flips and
then won the game with an open-ingdrive touchdown in overtime. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald
was awarded a questionable catch
along the sideline in the same game.
There was Manning sliding down in
the pocket, then being allowed to get
up and throw a completion dur-ing
the Broncos' victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. There was Pittsburgh
assistant coach Joey Porter be-ing
permitted to go on the field during
an injury timeout late in the Steelers'
opening-round triumph at Cin-cinnati, contributing to the second of two
15-yard penalties against the Bengals
that set up a decisive field goal. There
was Steelers wide receiver Martarvis
Bryant being awarded a legal touchdown catch on an ac-robatic grab on
which Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice
president of officiating, said later he
thought it proba-bly wasn't a catch
but there was not enough video evidence to overturn the on-field ruling.
So it hasn't been a perfect postseason for the officials. But compared
to what happened during the regular
season, it has been a bit less turbulent.
4. London franchise?
There has been speculation for a
few years about the possibility of the
NFL not only playing regular season
games in London, but ultimately basing a franchise there.
For now, at least, there remains little reason to give credibility to such
speculation.
The prospect of a London-based
franchise was raised again last week
by a report by the BBC that NFL executive Mark Weller pledged there
will be a team there within six years.
The NFL denied the report, saying
that Waller has made no such commitment.
The reality is that the owners, not
the league, are in control of whether
a franchise is placed in London. The
league clearly would have input into
such a matter. But as the owners' Los
Angeles decision demon-strated, it is
the will of the 32 owners that carries
the day. The owners' L.A. committee,
which worked closely with the league
on relocation issues, recommended
approval of the Carson, Calif., stadium project proposed by the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.
The owners essentially ignored that
recommen-dation and approved, by
a vote of 30-2, the Inglewood, Calif.,
stadium project proposed by the St.
Louis Rams, and gave the Chargers
a one-year option to join the Rams
there.
When it comes to London, there
is strong skepticism among many
owners about the merits of putting a
franchise there. Logistics, competitive
issues and scheduling are viewed as
major problems. Those owners would
have to be persuaded by the league
that a London-based franchise makes
sense and would provide a considerable financial boost to the sport.
For now, at least, there appears to
be considerable sentiment among the
owners against making such a move.
5. Rams-Chargers deliberations
The Chargers began deliberations
with the Rams last week about the
terms of a prospective agreement that
would enable them to share the Inglewood stadium.
The teams said they would not comment publicly on the negotiations and
the timetable for the Chargers making
a decision is not clear. It does appear
that both teams potentially could use
the Los Angeles Memo-rial Coliseum
next season, if needed, with the Inglewood stadium under construction. It
is scheduled to open in 2019.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
told ESPN last week he hopes the
Chargers remain in San Diego and
the Raiders stay in Oakland. Dean
Spanos, the chairman of the Chargers, must weigh the possibilities in
Los Angeles against the prospects for
Get Ready for Winter
getting a new stadium in San Diego.
But several people within the sport
continue to say that if Spanos and the
Chargers feel they are treated fairly on
terms negotiated with Rams owner
Stan Kroenke, they believe it remains
likely that the Chargers will opt for
L.A. The opportunity in Los Angeles
simply is too good to pass up, those
people say. Some add that even if the
Chargers could get a new stadium in
San Diego, they suddenly would be
faced with the prospect of having one
or two NFL competitors in Southern
California, given that their option to
join the Rams would transfer to the
Raiders.
6. Bills' female coach
Buffalo Bills Coach Rex Ryan is to
be applauded for his decision to make
Kathryn Smith the NFL's first fe-male
full-time assistant coach. Last week,
Ryan named Smith the Bills' quality
control coach for special teams.
The Cardinals broke the sport's
gender barrier for coaches last summer when they had Jen Welter working with the team's inside linebackers
during training camp and the preseason. But Ryan's hiring of Smith is
another significant step in the right
direction toward equality and fairness
in hiring.
"I recognize the significance of the
hiring and things like that," Ryan said
at a news conference late last week.
"But for me, I was just concerned getting somebody that can be successful
in that role. And having the experi-
ence that I have had with Kathryn, I
really think she is going to do a great
job in this role. So that was really all
my concern was. . .. I have left out of
here [the Bills' offices] and she has
been the last one here. So every day
since she got the promotion, I see her
in there already working on her drawings and things like that, working on
next season's opponents already. So I
think you know the work ethic, dedica-tion, and all that, I know is going
to be there. I think she is really excited about this opportunity."
Smith's appointment was the most
noteworthy coaching move made by
Ryan this offseason, but it wasn't the
only interesting thing that he did. He
also added his brother Rob and former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed
to his defensive staff.
The addition of Rob Ryan gives the
Bills a former defensive coordinator
as a head coach and a former de-fensive coordinator as an assistant head
coach to go with defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman. Rex Ryan was
asked last week, and legitimately so, if
that will make for too many cooks in
the kitchen. He said the collaboration
will be constructive.
"The great thing is that there is discussion. . . but when the plan comes
in and the call comes in, it is a Buffalo Bill thing and we are all in it
together," Ryan said. "But I love having opinions, having voices. . .. My

Tank Tapping Freaks Out
Fish
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My mom said not
to tap on the side of the fish tank because
it scares them. I'm not tapping very hard,
so why would it bother them?
-- Tanner in Dallas
DEAR TANNER: Imagine this: Your room
has a big glass wall, and strange, scary creatures come up to the glass all day long and stare
at you. Imagine also that the wall has amplifiers
in it so that every time someone knocks on the
glass, the sound is so loud it puts a lot of pressure on your ears.
If that happened to you several times a day,
every day, you'd be pretty stressed out. Especially if it happens when you're trying to sleep

or rest.
For fish, which tend to react badly when their
environment changes, tank tappers can really
cause problems. Because they're constantly being startled and scared, their immune systems
weaken and they become vulnerable to diseases
they can normally fight off. Some fish have been
reported to try and escape from a tank they're
constantly being scared in by jumping out of it.
That doesn't usually work out well for the fish.
The best way to enjoy an aquarium full of fish
is to, well ... just watch them. Most fish will shy
away if you approach the tank, but if you hold
still, they will begin to swim past you and you'll
get a close look at them. If they're holding still
or not swimming fast, don't tap the tank -- just
let them be.

The Reason
I’m Tired!
For a couple of years I’ve been
blaming it on lack of sleep and too
much pressure from my job, but
now I found out the real reason:
I’m tired because I’m overworked.
The population of this country
is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do
the work.
There are 85 million in school,
which leaves 48 million to do the
work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government,
leaving 19 million to do the private
sector work.
2.8 million are in the Armed
Forces, which leaves 16.2 million
to do the private sector work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000
people who work for State and City
Governments and that leaves 1.4
million to do the private sector
work.
At any given time there are
188,000 people in hospitals, leaving
1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people
in prisons. That leaves just two
people to do the work: You and me.

Travel Q & A
Q
Q: My daughter and I would prefer
to fly direct to Savannah, Georgia,
with her lit-tle ones (ages 7 months
and 2.5 years) rather than drive nine
hours each way. However, the thought
of bringing car seats seems like a hassle: lugging them, pay-ing for them to
be checked through, taking time to
strap them in and out of a taxi to our
hotel, etc. Except for a 20-minute ride
back and forth from the Savannah airport, we will not be needing a car. A
few questions: (1) Does the airline (in
this case United) require a 2.5-yearold to use a car seat? (I'm assuming
the baby can sit on Mom's lap.) (2) If
not, do they let you gate check it for
free? (3) Is there such a thing as a taxi
or driver service that comes with car
seats? (4) Do some parents forego the
use of car seats at times like these? (5)
Are taxis exempt from having to use
car seats? If we were renting a car and
driving it quite a bit at our destination, we, of course, wouldn't hesitate
to bring them. Wondering what you
or other par-ents might recommend.
A: Car seats are not required but
recommended for air travel. Airlines
don't charge for car seats checked as
luggage. Yes, you can gate check the
seat. It looks as if you'll need a car
seat for your taxi ride but some taxi
services offer car seats, upon request.
Kids younger than 6 have to be "properly restrained" which I read as needing a car seat.

Q: My wife and I started looking
into Brazil and it sounds like working
with a trav-el agency that specializes
in Brazil would be most helpful in
planning our itinerary since many of
the sites/cities that we want to visit require inter country travel/flights (e.g.
Rio, Iguazu Falls, Pantanal, Amazon).
Can you recommend any agencies?
We do not generally like to tour with
large groups so we are looking for
: We are talking about going to
the Grand Canyon in September (we have an event in Phoenix on Sept. 24). One kid wants to go
rafting (is that possible?), hus-band
wants to do a brady bunch taking a
mule down to the bottom (is *that*
possi-ble?) and wants to camp on the
bottom (is that possible? or just hiking? is there somewhere to stay at the
bottom?). Is it a good time to go (kids
don't go to school)?
A: You can do both. For mule
rides, the park service has great info
about the ex-cursion. You can go for
a multi-hour trip or ride the beast
of burden to the bottom and stay at
Phantom Lodge. Rafting companies
sanctioned by the park also offer trips
for a day to two weeks. You will camp
along the way. However, for both excursions, spots fill up months to even
a year ahead.
I don't know how active your family
is, but the Grand Canyon is very rugged ter-rain. I hiked from rim to rim
a few years ago and felt the calf burn
for days. You might consider mixingand-matching the activities with a
few nights at a lodge on the South or
North Rim, where you can also take
day hikes.

A: We don't use travel agencies, so
difficult for us to recommend them.
I'd first try the United States Tour

Q: I am looking for well-regarded
travel options for a woman in mid70s, looking to travel with a companion. Having been recently virtually
house-bound as a care-taker, she is
now free to travel more; all arrangements used to be done by her husband, now deceased. Have heard of
Elderhostel, but are there other options?
A: That's a good one. You might
also start with AARP's travel planning center. The organization also
has discounts on travel for members.
Other options: ElderTreks, Road
Scholar (part of Elderhostel) and Odysseys Unlimited. Universities often
of-fer alum trips as well.

Q: I will be on a cruise in Indonesia in March, and the last stop before
the end is Bali. Bali is one of those
exotic-sounding, mystical vacation
spots, maybe next door to ShangriLa, but for a non-beach-resort person, would it be worthwhile to spend
a few extra days there? Historic sites,
cultural tours, etc? Also, I'm thinking of spending a few days in Jakarta,
which its own tourism website says
is "crowded and chaotic" and has the
worst traffic in Asia.
A: I definitely recommend Bali for
the non-beach person. I would head
to the Ubud district, the center of arts
and crafts. You can hear live music
and attend dance performances, and
visit lots of crafts shops, including the
workshop of a mask carver. There are
many spectacular Hindu temples. I
found Jakarta over-whelming and it
made me miss Bali.

Prayerful Thoughts
Etcetera...
We Need Each Other
By Linda Childs
Exclusive to The New York Eagle News
Article Submitted
Dear Father in Heaven,
I can never thank You enough for being so steadfast in my life. No matter
what happens, I know always that You are with me. I know this from experience. I know that no matter how terrible or wonderful my life seems at any
given moment, You are with me. You are there, in my spirit, which is part of
Your spirit. You are guiding me, strengthening me, soothing my soul and comforting me. You are with me every step of the way. There are many things in life
through which we must come, many trials and tribulations, some of which are
so hard on us that we are sure we won’t survive them. Yet, we do come through
them, and in time they become a distant memory, as You help us to move on.
As we no longer live in the Garden of Eden, our lives are not all sweetness and
light. Life is a string of moments, some good and some bad, each of which is to
be experienced and learned from, or enjoyed and appreciated, as we go on our
journey. As I became aware that You are with me through each and every one of
them, I gained a hope and a perspective that I never had before. Each moment
is precious in its own right—some good, some bad, some ordinary, some joyful,
some tragic—but each is an opportunity to learn, mature and grow closer to
You. Each moment lasts only that long, and then is lost forever and cannot be
relived. Future moments are not guaranteed to us, and past moments are over
and done with, and cannot be changed.
I realize that all of these moments and experiences combine to make me who
I am. They help me to know that I am capable of more, good or bad, then I ever
thought possible. Our lives are made up of all these moments and experiences,
not just the destinations and goals for which we strive along the way. All that it
takes for us to reach or at least strive for these destinations, together with everything that we experience along the way, form the rich fabric of our lives, and
if we don't pay attention to each one, experience each one as much as we can,
we miss out on so much. The iconic example of this is children—they seem to
go from newborn to full grown and living their own lives in the blink of an eye.
Did we take time throughout that process to get to know them, enjoy them, be
with them and be there for them when they needed us?
I have come to realize that You, Lord, do take notice of each moment of my
life, and fill them with as much care, love, joy and peace as I am able to receive.
You are always there for me, through thick and thin, need and abundance, and
so much more. Again, I thank You from the depths of my soul for caring about
each of us that much, that we may rest assured You are with us through every
one of the moments of our lives.
Amen
Psalms 86:15 “But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to
anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”
Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful
God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep
his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Psalms 36:5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies
never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to
man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,
but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be
able to endure it.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard
you against the evil one.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever
would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who seek him.
Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
Psalm 116:2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I
live. ■
“God loves each of us as if there

~ Augustine
I
think it is fairly common knowledge that we humans are made to
live in community. This is what
Church (with a capital C) means.
We are a community of believers who worship at Mass and in our
prayer lives the same amazing, merciful God. We strive to learn about God
by being open to God’s call, by reading the Bible or listening to Christian
radio or TV. We accept the mission of
Jesus by being his disciples. We witness the joy of knowing God by sharing what He is doing in our lives.
What does it mean to be a disciple
of Jesus? It means being as focused on
others as we are on ourselves. Think
of the parable of the Good Samaritan.
He reacted with compassion while
others bypassed the needy man. We
become more compassionate as we
perform the corporal and spiritual
works of mercy.
Corporal Works of Mercy (Matt:
25:35-40)
• Feed the hungry.
• Give drink to the thirsty.
• Welcome the stranger.

the coaches well to rethink their current play-calling plans.
8. Kelly and Kaepernick
Kelly has not committed to keeping
Colin Kaepernick as his quarterback
in San Francisco.
The 49ers would owe Kaepernick
$14.3 million for next season if he's
on the team's roster after April 1.
His deal would count $15.9 million
against next season's salary cap. He
lost the starting job this season to
Blaine Gabbert, then was placed on
the injured reserve list and underwent shoulder surgery.
But his talents perhaps are well
suited to Kelly's offensive system, and
several officials with other NFL teams
say they expect Kaepernick to remain
with the 49ers.
"I don't see how he's going to be able
to do any better in the short term," a
• Clothe the naked.
• Visit the sick & imprisoned.
• Shelter the homeless.
• Bury the dead.
Spiritual Works of Mercy
• Admonish the sinner. (Luke:
15:7)
• Instruct the ignorant. (Mark 16:1)
• Counsel the doubtful. (John
14:27)
• Comfort the sorrowful. (Matt:
11:28)
• Bear wrongs patiently. (Luke:
6:27-28)
• Forgive all injuries. (Matt: 6:12)
• Pray for the living and the dead.
(John 17:24)
Some thoughts about ourselves may
also be helpful here:
• Be sensitive to the needs of others
and create within yourself a balance
of your own needs.
•May what you see in the mirror
delight you, and what others see in
you delight them.
• May someone love you enough to
accept and forgive your faults, being
blind to your blemishes, and telling
the whole world about your virtues.
• Live in peace, with an awareness
of the beauty of every sunset, every
flower, every person’s smile, and every
front office executive with an-other
NFL team said of the prospect of
Kelly retaining Kaepernick. "To me,
he doesn't have much of a choice but
to try to make it work."
9. Vrabel's rise in coaching
Mike Vrabel, the former Patriots
linebacker who now is the linebackers’ coach of the Texans, rejected an
offer by Kelly to be the 49ers' defensive coordinator.
But the fact that the opportunity to
become a coordinator existed for Vrabel speaks to the growing repu-tation
he is earning as a coach.
Vrabel has been on the Texans'
coaching staff for two seasons after
three years coaching in the college
ranks at Ohio State, his alma mater.
He was recommended to Kelly highly
by Belichick.
Vrabel certainly appears to be on

Five-Spice
Chicken
and Scallion
Kebabs
By Stephanie Witt
Sedgwick
Summary:
Skewered foods are the way to go
when you want the food to look special and you want to control portion
size.
Ingredients:
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken
breast halves (trimmed of fat and tendons), cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more
for the grill
• About 8 scallions, white and lightgreen parts, cut crosswise into 1-inch
lengths
• 1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame
oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons water
Steps:
Combine the five-spice powder and
salt in a 1-gallon resealable plastic food
storage bag, shaking lightly to blend the
mixture. Add the chicken cubes, vinegars and olive oil. Seal, pressing as much
air out of the bag as possible. Massage to
make sure the chicken is evenly coated.
Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
Prepare the grill for direct heat. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high
(450 degrees). If using a charcoal grill,
light the charcoal or wood briquettes;
when the briquettes are ready, distribute
them evenly under the cooking area. For
a medium-hot fire, you should be able to
hold your hand about 6 inches above the
coals for about 4 or 5 seconds. Lightly

coat a grill rack with oil and place it on
the grill.
Have ready six 10-inch bamboo skewers. While the grill is heating, thread
the cubes of marinated chicken and the
scallions onto the skewers, starting and
ending with the chicken. You should
have 5 or 6 cubes of chicken on each
skewer. Discard the marinade.
Combine the hoisin sauce, toasted
sesame oil and water in a small bowl.
Lay aluminum foil on the grill so the
parts of the skewers not covered with
chicken will be shielded from the heat
by the foil. Position the skewers on the
grill. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, then turn the skewers. Brush the
cooked side with the hoisin sauce mixture.

Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Turn
them again and brush with the sauce
mixture; cover and cook for 3 minutes.
Check for doneness. If the chicken isn't
done, cover and cook for 3 to 6 minutes
or until fully cooked; continue to brush
lightly with the sauce mixture on any
parts of the skewers not already coated
with the sauce. The size and shape of
the cubes will affect the cooking time.
The chicken is done when an instantread thermometer registers 165 degrees
in the thickest piece of chicken. Serve
warm.

Ice-Cream
Sandwich
Minis
By Donna Erickson
Summary: Ice-Cream Sandwich
Minis for Game Day
Ingredients:
• 1 1/3 cups unbleached, all-purposed
flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2/3 cup milk
For the inside:
• 1 1/2 quarts ice cream
Steps:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut parchment paper to generously fit a rimmed
11- by 17-inch jellyroll pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together
flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa, and
set aside.
3. With a mixer, cream the butter and
sugar at medium speed until light and
fluffy. Add and beat in vanilla. Add 1/4
of the flour mixture and stir until just
combined. Add 1/2 of the milk and stir
until combined, then continue to add
the flour mixture and milk alternately.
4. Spoon the thick cookie dough onto
the pan and spread as evenly as possible
to all edges. Bake 10 minutes or until
toothpick in center comes out clean.
Cool.
5. Loosen the cookie and invert onto a
cutting board and peel away parchment.
Cut the cookie in half horizontally and
vertically to form four rectangles.
6. Let ice cream sit at room temperature until it is easy to cut and spread.
Working quickly, slice and spread it
evenly over two of the rectangles. (You
may wish to have a different flavor on
each one.) Top with remaining two
rectangle pieces. Wrap both of the large
ice-cream sandwiches with plastic wrap
and freeze.
7. To serve, remove plastic and cut into
serving portions according to taste. (I
sliced mine with a large, sharp knife
into 1- by 2-inch rectangles to yield 40
small servings.)

10. Lynch retiring?
The pronouncement by Seahawks
General Manager John Schneider
during a radio interview last week
that running back Marshawn Lynch
is leaning toward retiring shouldn't
surprise anyone.
Lynch turns 30 in April. He has
been a punishing runner throughout
his career and that has taken its toll
on his body. He could not stay healthy
and on the field this season, playing
in only seven games and rushing for
only 417 yards. He averaged a modest
3.8 yards per carry.
The Seahawks seemingly have a replacement for Lynch already in place
in Thomas Rawls, who was productive this season as an undrafted rookie filling in. The team probably would
not have much interest in keep-ing
Lynch under the terms of his current contract, under which he would
count $11.5 million against the Seahawks' salary cap next season. So
even if Lynch does want to continue
playing, he likely will have to rework
his deal to remain in Seattle or move
on to another team.

ers who in 2002 founded their group
to exchange information on finding
and preserving cloths from the 1930s
to 1970s.
Payne says members have shared
their best linen-care tips on the Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club website
(vintagetableclothsclub.com). Here
is what they suggest to help lessen
burn damage on a cloth or napkin:
"Scorching permanently damages the
fabric. The heat burns and weakens
the fibers, and can also melt manufac-
tured fibers, such as polyester. If the
damage is slight you might be able to
improve the look. Brush the area to
remove any charring. If the tablecloth
is washable, rub liquid detergent into
the scorched area. Launder. If the
stain remains, bleach with an all-fabric non-chlorine bleach."
As for tears, check with your dry
cleaner or alterations expert regarding mending services. Don't let a tear
or worn-out patch get worse year to
year.
