F-35 Lightning II Fighter Jet Pilots Will Wear
$400,000 Helmets
By Christian Davenport
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
T
he F-35 Lightning II is one of the
most complicated weapons systems ever developed, a sleek and
stealthy fighter jet years in the making
that is often called a flying computer because of its more than 8 million lines of
code. The Joint Strike Fighter comes in
three versions, including one that is designed to take off and land on an aircraft
carrier and another that lands vertically,
as if it were a helicopter.
But to truly understand the most expensive weapons program in the history of
the Pentagon, forget the plane for a minute. Consider the helmet.
It's designed to protect the pilot's head,
of course. But compared to everything

The 1,600-mile, OpenWater Migration of
Half-Ounce Songbirds

E
very year, half-ounce
songbirds take off from
the northeastern United States and points further
north, in Canada. They keep
flying until they temporarily land on warm Caribbean
islands, before reaching their
final destination, in South
America. Remarkably, these
little birds make most of that
journey over open waters.
For the first time, scientists
have tracked the migration
pattern of blackpoll warblers,
inserting hard evi-dence into
an ongoing debate over how
these forest-dwelling birds
wind up in South America every year. Researchers from the
Vermont Center for Ecostudies, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and
Uni-versity of Guelph in Ontario published their findings
in early April in the journal

"It sort of defies the imagination on a number of levels,"
said Chris Rimmer, a study
co-author and Ver-mont Center for Ecostudies ornithologist. "One is just the energy,
the sheer energy and physiology required to propel a bird
that many miles, an average
of about 1,600 miles. But it's
also a navigational feat, an ori-
entation miracle in a way that
the birds can strike out from
land and head out over the water and reach their destination
two or three days later."
The work began after researchers used a new kind of
geolocator to track a different bird species. They be-gan

Flint Receives Award
A veteran Addison Central School
educator was honored April 27th by
the Steuben County Legislature for
her work in preventing child abuse.
ACS Principal Deborah Flint was given the “Steuben County Child Abuse
Prevention Award” for her ongoing
dedication to, and advocacy for, her
area’s youth and their families.
Flint is responsible for establishing
“Act ‘n Do” – a cooperative businesscivic program providing meals and
companionship for those in need, according to Emily Hofelich- Bowler,
Addison Youth Center executive director.
Flint also oversees the district’s
Latch Key program for pre-K children, attends community events, and
understands and works to meet the
needs of families, Hofelich- Bowler
said.
Steuben County
Legislature Wrap
Steuben County legislators will be
allowed to run for a fourth term on
the county board, pending the processing of required documents to the
state. County legislators on April 27th
adopted a local law extending the current three-term limit to four terms by
a margin of 11-5 with one absent.
Each term is for four years.
Supporters of the measure said the
extension adds to the overall effectiveness of the board, since legislators
have added experience with governmental issues.

County Legislator by county Clerk Judith Hunter. (Photos provided)
Maio Sworn In as New
Legislator
Corning attorney Steven Maio was
sworn in as Steuben County legislator April 27th, filling the unexpired
term left by the resignation by county
Legislator George Welch, D-Corning
City. Maio, also a Democrat, was
nominated by his party and approved
by the county Legislature.
The term expires Dec. 31, 2015.
Opponents said the term extension
should be approved by the voters –
something that is not allowed under
New York State General Municipal
Law.
Supporters countered the opposition, saying running for any term
ultimately is up to the individual candidates and the continued support of
his or her constituents.
The county Legislature is one of the
few legislatures in the state to have
term limits.
In other action, legislators:
* Authorized tipping fees at the
county landfill for certain items.
* Added County Route 126 to the
county Public Works Capital Construction capital account.
* Approved the Southern Tier Interoperable Communications Agreement. ■

S
aturday, May 9 marks the
23rd anniversary of
America’s largest-single day of giving — the National Association of Letter
Carriers Stamp Out Hunger
Food Drive in Partnership
with the U.S. Postal Service,
Feeding America, United Way
and other partners. Post Offices in communities across
the nation, including greater
Western New York, will be
participating. Just leave a
non-perishable food donation in a bag by the mailbox
on Saturday, May 9, and the Postal
carrier will do the rest. It’s that simple
and millions of Americans will be
helped.
Currently, 49 million Americans—1
in 6—are unsure where their next
meal is coming from. Sixteen million
are children who feel hunger’s impact
on their overall health and ability to
perform in school. And nearly 5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many who live on fixed
incomes often too embarrassed to ask
for help.
In 2014, over 72 million pounds
of food was collected by Postal
carriers nationally, feeding an estimated 30 million people. Over the
course of the 22-year history, the
Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has
collected well over one billion pounds
of food.
The food drive’s timing is crucial.
Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations
during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime,
many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at
a time when many school breakfast
and lunch programs are not available
to children in need. ■

In Bars and Barber Shops, Germany's
Traditional Savings Clubs Live On

F
or thrift-loving Germans looking to salt money away, a pub
in Hamburg's red-light district
can be just as good as a bank.
At Schlemmer-Eck in the St. Pauli
neighborhood, Herbert Stender -- a
75-year-old bartender with tattooed
arms and a skull and crossbones on
his black baseball cap -- has guarded
deposits paid in by regulars to the
savings club they fondly call "Lawless Hill" since 1987. The association
is reminiscent of the kind that once
helped foster a culture of fiscal rectitude and propel Germany's economic
rebound after World War II.
Today, communal saving in venues such as taverns, pubs or barber
shops is a largely social affair as the
tradition experiences a revival in cities like Hamburg and Frankfurt, the
country's banking capital. In an age
of record-low interest rates that's
prompting Germans to spend more
and save less, the clubs offer the engineers, lawyers and students seeking to
join a way to do both while upholding the custom started by their mostly
working-class predecessors.
"Banknotes are the rule," said
Stender, who watches over the gray

five slots each that hangs between refrigerators and a poster of a Norwegian punk-rock band in a back room

Coincidentally, researchers in Nova

For the study, researchers took geolocators about the size of a dime and
weighing half a gram and strapped
them to six male birds as though they

protrudes above the bird's feathers,
which captures information about
light transitions and encodes the information on a com-puter chip.
Five of the six birds made their migrations with the geolocators intact.

What One Patient Taught a Physician
By Mitch Kaminski
Special To The New York Eagle
News/The Washington Post
T
his patient isn't usually mine,
but today I'm covering for my
partner in our family-practice
office, so he has been slipped into my
schedule.
Reading his chart, I have an ominous feeling that this visit won't be
simple.
A tall, lanky man with an air of quiet dignity, he is 88. His legs are swollen, and merely talking makes him
short of breath.
He suffers from both congestive
heart failure and renal failure. It's a
medical Catch-22: When one condition is treated and gets better, the
other condition gets worse. His past
year has been an endless cycle of
medication adjustments carried out
by dueling specialists and punctuated
by emergency-room visits and hospitalizations.
Hemodialysis would break the
medical stalemate, but my patient
flatly refuses it. Given his frail health,
and the discomfort and inconvenience involved, I can't blame him.
Now his cardiologist has referred
him back to us, his primary-care providers. Why send him here and not to
the ER? I wonder fleetingly.
With us is his daughter, who has
driven from Philadelphia, an hour
away. She seems dutiful but wary,
awaiting the clinical wisdom of yet
another doctor.
caring for the fragile elderly:
"We forget to ask patients
what they want from their
care. What are their goals?"
I pause, then look this frail,
dignified man in the eye.
"What are your goals for
your care?" I ask. "How can I
help you?"
My intuition tells me that
he, like many patients in their
80s, harbors a fund of hardwon wisdom.
He won't ask me to fix his
kidneys or his heart, I think.
He'll say something noble
and poignant: "I'd like to

they put their subjects into virtual

subjects put their headsets on and
looked down at themselves, they saw
empty space where their body should

But that wasn't enough to make
them feel invisible — either by their
own description or through objective
tests designed to trick their subconscious.
To do that, the researchers touched
the subjects with large paintbrushes
while making cor-responding touches in the region of empty air they were
looking at. So if a subject's torso was

the hospital for that," I suggest, unsure of how this will go over.
He smiles. His daughter sighs with
relief.
"He really wants to stay at home,"
she says matter-of-factly.
As new as our doctor-patient relationship is, I feel emboldened to tackle the big, unspoken question looming over us.
"I know that you've decided against
dialysis, and I can understand your
decision," I say. "And with your heart
failure getting worse, your health is
unlikely to improve."
He nods.
"We have services designed to help
keep you comfortable for whatever
time you have left," I venture. "And
you could stay at home."
Again, his daughter looks relieved.
And he seems . . . well . . . surprisingly
fine with the plan.
I call our hospice service, arranging
for a nurse to visit him later today to
set up physical therapy and to begin
plans to help him to stay comfortable
— at home.
Although I never see him again,
over the next few months I sign the
order forms faxed by his hospice
nurs-es. I speak once with his granddaughter. It's somewhat hard on his
wife to have him die at home, she
says, but he's adamant that he wants
to stay there.
A faxed request for sublingual morphine (used in the terminal stages of
dying) prompts me to call to check up
on him.
The nurse confirms that he is near
death.
I feel a twinge of misgiving: Is his
family happy with the process that I
set in place? Does our one brief encounter qualify me to be his primarycare provider? Should I visit them all
at home?
Two days later, and two months
after we first met, I fill out his death
certificate.
Looking back, I reflect: He didn't go
back to the hospital, he had no more
falls, and he died at home, which is
what he wanted. But I wonder if his
wife felt the same.
Several months later, a new name
appears on my patient schedule: It's
his wife.
"My family all thought I should see
you," she explains.
She, too, is in her late 80s and frail,
but independent and mentally sharp.
Yes, she is grieving the loss of her husband, and she's lost some weight. No,
she isn't depressed. Her husband died
peacefully at home, and it felt like the
right thing for everyone.
"He liked you," she says.
She's suffering from fatigue and
anemia. About a year ago, a hematologist diagnosed her with myelodysplasia (a bone marrow failure, often
terminal). But six months back, she
stopped going for medical care.
I ask why.
"They were just doing more and
more tests," she says. "And I wasn't
getting any better."
Now I know what to do. I look her
in the eye and ask:
"What are your goals for your care,
and how can I help you?"

Choosing a Hospital Just
Got Easier

The New York Eagle News/ HHS
A
re you the kind of shopper
who reads reviews or looks
at ratings before you make
a purchase? Wouldn’t it be helpful to
have the same kind of ratings when
choosing a hospital?
Choosing a hospital can be overwhelming. Hospitals differ in the
safety and quality of care they provide. That’s why the U.S. Department
of Health & Human Services (HHS)
has made it easier to use the information on their Hospital Compare site
(www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare), by adding star ratings for patients’ experience of care.
Compare websites are a valuable
source of information about the
quality of health care providers and
facilities. The Hospital Compare star
ratings they’ve recently added to the
website relate to patients’ experience
of care at more than 3,500 Medicarecertified acute care hospitals. The

ratings are based on data from the
Hospital Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(HCAHPS) Survey measures that
are included on Hospital Compare.
HCAHPS has been in use since 2006
to measure patients’ perspectives of
hospital care, and includes topics like:
• How well nurses and doctors
communicated with patients
• How responsive hospital staff
were to patient needs
• How clean and quiet hospital environments were
• How well patients were prepared
when they were discharged from the
hospital
Sharing patients’ experience of care
through star ratings is just one example of how we’re committed to helping you make health care decisions
based upon available information.
They’re working on adding an overall
hospital star rating in 2016 to include
the full range of quality measures reported on Hospital Compare.
HHS’ Nursing Home Compare site
(www.medicare.gov/nursinghome-
compare) already uses star ratings
to help consumers compare nursing
homes and choose one with quality
in mind. Physician Compare (www.
medicare.gov/physiciancompare)
has started to include star ratings in
certain situations for physician large
group practices, and HHS just added
star ratings to Dialysis Facility Compare site (http://www.medicare.gov/
dialysisfacilitycompare) to help to
make data on dialysis centers easier to
understand and use. They’re planning
to add star ratings to Home Health
Compare (www.medicare.gov/homehealthcompare) later this year. These
advances are thanks to the Affordable
Care Act and the Administration’s
commitment to transparency.
HHS welcomes additional suggestions on how to provide consumers
with information to make the best
health care decisions for themselves
and their families.

were interpreting this threat in empty
space as a threat to their own body,"
he said.
In a second part of the experiment,
Guterstam and his colleagues subjected their partici-pants to stressful conditions, like suddenly seeing a sternlooking crowd staring back at them
through the virtual reality rig. Within
the headset, subjects either had a
mannequin standing in for their own
body or just empty space, which they
had been convinced via paintbrush
was their own form.
"We saw that in the invisible body,
there was a reduction in both the
physical stress re-sponse and in the
subjectively perceived stress," Guterstam said. He hopes to follow this up
in future studies, and plans a clinical
test using the rig on those with social
anxiety. "If it really has this stressreducing effect, it could perhaps be
used as a novel treatment," he said.
Now that he's sure that one can be
made to feel invisible, he's excited
to see what that illu-sion does to the
brain. Some have suggested that a
sense of invisibility would make humans act less morally, because on
some level they'd lose their fear of societal repercussions for their actions.
That would certainly be something to
keep in mind as the military works
on creating "invisibility cloaks" for
soldiers.
But ultimately, Guterstam says he's
just driven by curiosity.
"We just want to keep figuring out
how the brain works," he said. "Considering that you're born with a sense

there still are too many veterans on the street.

now uses stars to rate hospitals. This is good
-- and bad -- when it comes to judging a hospital.
The Good: At least there is another tool
to help guide you toward selecting the right
hospital. The star ratings look at things like
pain control and communication with the
patient.
The Bad: The star method is based on the
appraisals of patients who've been in hospitals. If a patient has had a bad experience, it
might have nothing to do with the care he or
she received. Patients who are surveyed are
chosen randomly, and they're not all Medicare recipients. (What would be interesting is
seeing a comparison of the results of patients
care and housing, to food, shelter, legal help,
dental services and clothing. Veterans also
can get counseling and help with benefits and

To participate individually, go online to the

on Medicare versus those who have private
insurance. Is our care different from those
with another insurance plan?)
Hospitals, of course, aren't thrilled about
these star surveys, saying that a difference of
only a point can move a hospital down from
three stars to two ... or down to one. They also
point to the fact that it's just patient opinion
that makes up the rating, and that there's
much more to a hospital than a patient's experience. The American Hospital Association even says, "There's a risk of oversimplifying the complexity of quality care."
Medicare does its own reports, but those
are based on dry statistics, such as how many
people got infections while there.
In time, the site also will rate hospitals
based on outcomes and safety, but for now,
the patient appraisals and the Medicare reports are what's available. To see how your

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.

Tesla's Announcement Shows the Coming
Revolution in Energy Storage

L
ate last Thursday, the glitzy
electric car company Tesla Motors, run by billionaire Elon
Musk, ceased to be just a car company. As was widely expected, Tesla
announced that it is offering a home
battery product, which people can use
to store energy from their solar panels or to backstop their homes against
blackouts, and also larger scale versions that could perform similar roles
for companies or even parts of the
grid.
For homeowners, the Tesla Powerwall will have a power capacity of
either 10 kilowatt hours or 7 kilowatt
hours, at a cost of either $ 3,500 or $
3,000. The company says these are the
costs for suppliers and don't include
the cost of installation and a power
inverter, so customers could pay considerably more than that.

by GTM Research and the Energy without solar."
The major upshot of more and
cheaper batteries and much more
widespread energy storage could, in
the long term, be a true energy revolution - as well as a much greener
planet. Here are just a few ways that
storage can dramatically change - and
green - the way we get power:
1. Helping to integrate more renewables onto the grid.
Almost everybody focusing the
Tesla story has homed in on home
batteries - but in truth, the biggest
im-pact of storage could occur at the
level of the electricity grid as a whole.
Indeed, GTM Research's survey of
the storage market found that 90 percent of deployments are currently at
the utility scale, rather than in homes
and businesses.
That's probably just the beginning: A late 2014 study by the Brattle
Group, prepared for mega-Texas util• Erie

ity Oncor, found that energy storage

"appears to be on the verge of becoming quite economically attractive"
• NY Central • Wayne Co Op
and that the benefits of deploying

cantly exceed costs" thanks to improved energy grid reliability. Oncor
has proposed spending as much as $
5.2 billion on storage investments in
the state. California, too, has directed
state utilities to start developing storage capacity - for specifically environmental reasons.
For more power storage doesn't
just hold out the promise of a more
reliable grid - it means one that can
rely less on fossil fuels and more
on renewable energy sources like
wind and, especially, solar, which
vary based on the time of day or the
weather. Or as a 2013 Department
of Energy report put it, "storage can
'smooth' the delivery of power generated from wind and solar technologies, in effect, increasing the value of
renewable power."
"Storage is a game changer," said
Tom Kimbis, vice president of executive affairs at the Solar Energy Industries Association, in a statement.
That's for many reasons, according to
Kimbis, but one of them is that "gridtied storage helps system operators
manage shifting peak loads, renewable integration, and grid op-erations." (In fairness, the wind industry
questions how much storage will be
needed to add more wind on-to the
grid.)
Consider how this might work using the example of California, a state
that currently ramps up natural gas
plants when power demand increases
at peak times, explains Gavin Purchas, head of the Environmental Defense Fund's California clean energy
program.
In California, "renewable energy
creates a load of energy in the day,
then it drops off in the evening, and
that leaves you with a big gap that you
need to fill," says Purchas. "If you had
a plenitude of storage devic-es, way
down the road, then you essentially
would be able to charge up those storage devices during the day, and then
dispatch them during the night, when
the sun goes down. Essentially it allows you to defer when the solar power is used."
This will be appealing to power
companies, notes Purchas, because
"gas is very quick to respond, but it's
not anywhere near as quick as battery,
which can be done in seconds, as opposed to minutes with gas." The consequences of adding large amounts of
storage to the grid, then, could be not
only a lot fewer greenhouse gas emissions, but also better performance.
2. Greening suburban homes and,
maybe, their electric cars, too.
Shifting away from the grid to the
home, batteries or other forms of
storage have an equally profound potential, especially when paired with
rooftop solar panels.
Currently, rooftop solar users are
able to draw power during the day
and, under net metering arrangements, return some of it to the grid
and thus lower their bills. This has
led to a great boom in individual solar installations, but there's the same
problem here as there is with the grid
as a whole: Solar tapers off with the
sun, but you still need a lot of power
throughout the evening and overnight.
Storing excess solar power with batteries, and then switching them on
once the solar panels stop drawing
from the sun, makes a dramatic difference. Homes could shift even further away from reliance on the grid,
while also using much more green
power.
Moreover, they'd also be using it at
a time of day when its environmental impact is greater. "If you think
about solar, when it's producing in
the middle of the day, the environmental footprint is relatively modest,"
explains Dartmouth College business
professor Erin Mansur. That's because
at this time of day, Mansur explains,
solar is more likely to be displacing
electricity generated from less carbon
intensive natural gas. "But if you can
shift some of that to the evening . . .
if you can save some to the middle of
the night, it's more likely to be displacing coal," says Mansur.
Some day, perhaps, some of the
sun-sourced power could even be
widely used to recharge electric
vehi-cles like Teslas - which would
solve another problem. According
to a much discussed 2012 paper by
Mansur and two colleagues, electric
vehicles can have a surprisingly high
energy footprint despite their lack of
tail-pipe emissions because they are
often charged overnight, a time when
the power provided to the grid (said
to be "on the margin") often comes
from coal.
But if electric vehicles could be
charged overnight using stored power
from the sun, that problem also goes
away.
All of which contributes to a larger
vision outlined recently by a team of
researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles's Institute of the
Environment and Sustainability in
which suburban homeowners, who
can install rooftop solar combined
with batteries and drive electric vehicles, start to dramatically re-duce
their carbon footprints - which have
long tended to be bigger in suburbia,
due in part to the need for long commutes - and also their home energy
bills.
Granted, it's still a vision right now,
rather than a reality for the over__________________

M
ichael A. Freeman had long
noticed that entrepreneurs
seem inclined to have mental health issues.
The clinical professor of psychology at UC-San Francisco's medical
school spent a decade at a company
where his clients were the founders of
businesses. He estimates that about a
third of them seemed to have some
type of mental health condition. He
still notices the trend today in his
work coaching executives.
Freeman and California-Berkeley
psychology professor Sheri Johnson
decided to take a deeper look at the
issue. They began polling entrepreneurs and found a strong link between mental health conditions and
en-trepreneurship.
"The people that we admire for being entrepreneurs seem to come from
the same gene pool as the people who
are kind of socially stigmatized because of mental health conditions,"
Freeman said. "They must con-fer
some adaptive advantage otherwise
they wouldn't be so highly represented in the population."
Forty-nine percent of entrepreneurs surveyed reported at least one
mental health condition. Nearly a
third reported having two or more
mental health issues, such as ADHD,
bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety
or substance use conditions. And half
of the entrepreneurs who reported no
mental-health conditions identi-fied
themselves as coming from families
with a history of mental illness.
This may seem counterintuitive.
Why would an unstable person be
most attracted and suited to launch a
business?
Freeman points out that there's a
beneficial side to these mental health
conditions. Those weaknesses come
with corresponding strengths that the
average healthy person doesn't have.
For all of its ills, depression also
brings empathy and creativity. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma
Gandhi attempted suicide as teenagers. Uncommon levels of empathy
can allow a businessman to better
under-stand a customer's need. And
a creative mind won't be satisfied on
the corporate ladder, but instead in a
fast-moving start-up where he or she
can unfurl ideas and dreams.
Individuals with ADHD naturally
make decisions faster, are comfortable working independently and are
more creative, necessary skills at a
start-up. They're likely to be bored
working for someone else.
Shades of bipolar disorder can come
in handy for an entrepreneur.
"When someone truly has manicdepressive illness and they're very
disabled by it, they're in and out of the
hospital; if you look at their relatives,
their siblings, their parents and their
children, they are all high-achievers,"
Freeman said. "And that's been demonstrated over and over again."
When I spoke with Freeman he
drew a parallel between the benefit
of having bipolar disorder in one's
gene pool and sickle cell. Having the
sickle cell trait is helpful in the face of
malaria, but having sickle-cell disease
can be deadly.
"Evolution somehow concocted this
scheme by which some people get
the traits and it confers ad-vantages,"
Freeman said. "And a few people get
the disease and they're like genetic

- but energy storage is a key part of
that vision.
3. Helping adjust to smart energy
pricing
And there's another factor to add
into the equation, which shows how
energy storage could further help
homeowners save money.
For a long time, economists have
said that we need "smart" or "dynamic" electricity pricing - that people
should be charged more for power at
times of high energy demand, such as
roadkill."
For nations looking to aid entrepreneurs and encourage economic
development, having a robust mental
health system makes a lot of sense.
After all, entrepreneurs are the ones
creating new companies and new
jobs.
Freeman's findings can also be seen
as an explanation for the innovative
tradition of the United States, which
has made it the world's largest economy.
As an immigration nation the country is full of people with personalities
types inclined to take the risk of moving a long ways, and of seeking out a
better life. Immigrants are more likely
to start businesses. More than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were
started by immigrants or children of
immigrants.
The research has been submitted to
a journal and is being reviewed. Freeman cautioned me that the find-ings
are new and have not yet been replicated by other researchers. He wants
to see more research in the space.
The research did find one exception
to a mental health conditions being
disproportionately present in entrepreneurs. There was almost no difference in rates of anxiety reported by
entrepreneurs and the control group.
in the afternoon and early evening,
when the actual electricity itself costs
more on wholesale markets. This
would lead to lower pric-es overall,
but higher prices during peak periods. And slowly, such smart pricing
schemes are being intro-duced to the
grid (largely on a voluntary basis).
But if you combine "smart" pricing
with solar and energy storage, then
homeowners have another potential benefit, explains Ravi Manghani
of GTM Research. They could store
excess power from their solar pan-els
during the day, and then actually use
it in the evening when prices for elec-

Study: Many Parents
Don't Have a Will
Almost half of all parents don't have a will.
That's a stunning number of people who haven't
put their final wishes in writing. A Princeton
Survey Research Associates International's poll
for Caring.com asked adult children across the
country for their knowledge about their parents
having a will.
Here are some of the statistics:
• Forty-four percent of parents don't have a
will or living trust, period.
• Sixteen percent of adult children don't
know whether their parents have a will.
• Of those who know there is a will, half of
adult children don't know where to find those
documents, and most don't know what's in
them.
• Only 40 percent of parents have updated
their wills within the past five years.
• One-quarter of adult children don't know if
the wills have ever been updated.
• More females than males know what's inthe wills, but men are more likely than women
to know where the wills are.
tricity go up - and avoid the higher
cost. "There's an economic case to
store the excess solar generation and
use it during evening hours," explains
Manghani by email.
Notably, if there are future reductions in how much money solar panel
owners can make selling excess power
back to the grid - and that's one thing
the current pushback against net metering wants to achieve - then energy
storage comes in and gives panel owners a new way for using that power.
"Storage increases the options," explains Sean Gallagher, vice president
• Older adults, who have older parents and
therefore should be much more informed about
the location and contents of wills, aren't much
better off than young adults. In the 50-64 age
category, 38 percent don't know what's in the
will and 29 percent don't know where it is.
No matter your age, if you're a parent, you
need a will. Consider what happens if you suddenly pass away without having made written
instructions about what's to happen to your
house, your financial accounts and all your
other assets. Not only are you leaving your loved
ones in a bad position at an emotional time, it's
also going to be expensive for them to sort out.
Dying without a will is called intestate, and
each state has different rules about how your
property will be divided. Those rules won't necessarily coincide with your wishes.
If you consult an attorney about having a will
written, ask about revocable living trusts laws
in your state. It's possible (not guaranteed) that
your inheritors can avoid the delays of probate.
If you have a will, update it periodically to
add or revoke provisions by having a codicil (an
amendment) added to it.
Have all your important documents in one
place: insurance policies; information about
how to contact your attorney, CPA and financial
adviser; and your will. And be sure your family
knows where this information is stored.

So in sum - cheaper, more easily
available energy storage helps at the
scale of the power grid, and also at
the level of our homes, to further advantage cleaner, renewable energy. So
if the economics of storage are finally
starting to line up - and its business
side to ramp up - that can only be
good news for the planet.

of homicide.
Cabbies are at by far the greatest risk
in this category. From 1993 to 2002,
an average of 23.7 taxi drivers were
killed every year per 100,000 cabbies.
Thankfully, that figure has since declined to 8, according to an analysis of
data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics by The Washington Post. On the
other hand, the grim tally for police
might be even higher if they weren't
so well trained and equipped.
Joel Neuman, who studies aggression in the workplace at the State
University of New York at New Paltz,
suggested that people in occupations
-- besides policing, in which you're
trained to deal with dangerous behavior -- need to be prepared to try to
defuse violent situations.
"There are a number of occupations where people find themselves
in jeopardy because of the nature of
their work," Neuman said. "At least
the police are trained and hopefully
prepared to deal with these potential
conflicts or assaults, and there are a
lot of professions where people don't
receive that kind of training."

Q&A with Gretchen Rubin: The Habits Behind
Successful, Creative, Productive People
By Lillian Cunningham
Washington Post
G
retchen Rubin has an energetic zeal when talking about
her new book, for which she
was once again part researcher and
part guinea pig. "Better Than Before"
in many respects picks up where "The
Happiness Pro-ject" left off. This time,
she explored not just what makes us
happy, but why routines play such a
crucial role in our personal fulfillment and success. Rubin spoke with
The Washington Post about developing — and maintaining — good habits, particularly when it comes to our
professional lives. Excerpts:
Q: When it comes to being happy in
our professional lives, are there habits
people tend to need more help with
than others?
A: One that's challenging for people
is to have a habit of leisure. Work is
constantly seeping in. People of-ten
want the feeling of being off duty
— stepping away from a device, not
checking e-mail, not feeling like they
should be working all the time, getting enough sleep.
A strategy that works well for that
is to make it inconvenient to do
something like check your phone. If
you walk around with it in your back
pocket, you're going to find it irresistible. But if you put it in the pocket of
your coat, then put your coat in the
closet, you make it a little bit harder,
which helps create that limit be-tween
work and home.
Q: Do you have any advice for how
to chip away at longer-term professional goals, like working on a book
or changing careers?
A: Whenever anybody has a problem with procrastination, it helps to
commit to a specific time and a specific place to do that work. Because
something that can be done at any
Gretchen Rubin has an energetic zeal when

what makes us happy, but why routines play

and success. (Washington Post photo by Jayne
W. Orenstein)
time is often done at no time.
And here's something important
when you're scheduling: Do that
work and nothing else. Don't check
email. Don't do research. Don't clean
up your office.
Q: Do you take that time out of evening hours with family? Or find ways
to bake that into your day job?
A: There's no one solution, because
everyone's job and nature is different.
I would say that many people readily
meet external expectations but struggle to meet inner expectations. When
they have work dead-lines, they easily
meet those. But if there is something
they're doing for themselves — like
learning a soft-ware program or writing a résumé — that's hard for them
to do, because there's no one waiting.
If that describes you, you need to
figure out how to build external accountability. Maybe you work with
a friend, or have an accountability
group, or hire an executive coach, or
arrange with someone to get that résumé to them by a certain date.
Q: What's the most interesting thing
you came across in your research that
relates to leadership?
A: People often say: I want to be like

Steve Jobs, or Ben Franklin. I'm going
to look at what that person's habits
were and copy them for myself. If it
worked for them, it's going to work
for me.
That is not the case.
When you look at the people who
are the most productive, the most creative, they figured out what works for
them. Some people drink a lot of coffee; some people drink a lot of booze.
Some people stay up late; some people go to bed early. Some people work
many hours a day; some people work
very few hours a day. Some people
work in solitude; some people work
amid a lot of buzz.
The people who are really successful just figured out what works for
them, and they work like crazy to
make sure that their environment
gives them what they need.
Q: You explored the link between
habits and decision-making, and how
habits free us from constantly fac-ing
the same questions. Why is automating decisions such a powerful tool?
A: When the brain has the opportunity to make something into a habit,
it wants to — because that frees the
brain to think about novel, complex
and urgent matters. It's freeing when
we don't have to make deci-sions. I
don't decide to get up at 6 a.m. I don't
decide to skip dessert. I decided those
long ago. Decision-making is draining and it's difficult, so if we avoid
decision-making then we don't have
to use our self-control.
A lot of times people will say to me,
"I want to go through my day making healthy choices. Help me do that."
And I'm like: You don't want to go
through your day making healthy
choices, because every time you're
choosing, you have the opportunity
to make the wrong choice. You want
to make one choice, and then stop
choosing.
Are you going to the gym? Yes, you
are. Are you going to go to sleep at 11
p.m.? Yes, you are. If you put it on autopilot, then you don't have to drain
yourself trying to make decisions,
which can drive you crazy.
Q: What's key to boosting the productivity of any given day?
A: Monitoring is kind of this magical strategy, because even if you're not
consciously trying to change a behavior, if you monitor it, then you start
moving in the right direction. If you
want to eat better, you keep a food
journal. If you want to move more,
you use a step counter. With time
use, it's the same thing. Pay-ing attention to how you use your time is very
helpful — especially your time late at
night.
Many people spend a couple hours
at the very end of their day as leisure
time, goof-off time. It's not very highquality. They're like, "What can I do
except lie on the couch and watch
reality TV? I'm too exhausted to do
anything else." But why are you so exhausted? You're staying up late every
night watching reality TV.
If you could go to bed earlier, then
you could recapture that hour. You
might choose to do something dif-ferent with that time if you use it from
6 a.m. to 7 a.m., instead of 11 p.m. to
midnight.
Q: What are your tips for people
when they fall off the wagon with a
habit?
A: It's all about planning to fail —
anticipating what the challenges are,
and figuring out what you're going
to do if you slip up. The funny thing
about habits is you have to keep two
ideas that are exactly contrary in your
mind at all times.
One is that you really, really don't
want to slip up, especially at the beginning. The more consistent you are
with a habit, the faster it's going to
lock in. At the same time, you want to
keep in mind that if you do slip up, it
is not a big deal.
Sometimes people think that if they
load themselves with guilt and shame,
they're going to somehow en-ergize
themselves to do a better job with
their habits. But in fact, research finds
that people who show themselves
compassion are more likely to get
back up on the horse.
It's important to tell yourself things
like, "It wasn't my best day. I'll do better next time." But it's also im-portant
to think about how to avoid challenges. What are you going to do if you're
on vacation? What are you going to
do if you get sick? What are you going
to do if somebody bakes a cake especially for you?
Q: What's your advice for leaders
and managers who need to motivate
others to be more productive?
A: It's important to recognize that
people have different habit patterns.
For instance, some people are marathoners when it comes to work pace,
and some people are sprinters.
I'm a marathoner. We don't like
to get up against a deadline. What
makes us creative and productive is
when we're doing our work steadily
over the long term. Sprinters like the
adrenaline of a deadline. They feel
like that's when their ideas come and
productivity shoots up. If they start
too early, they feel like they burn out,
lose interest and waste time.
If you're a manager, there could be
advantages of having both of those

Smoke Your Own Bacon
By Jim Shahin
Special to The New York Eagle
I
f not for Aristotle, I might have
felt pretty bad about myself
when I tasted my brother-inlaw's homemade bacon a couple of
years ago.
He had shipped me a slab of it from
Indiana, where he lives, and asked for
my opinion. Its umber complexion
was gorgeous, as if it had spent a week
at a tanning salon. The texture was
so firm, you might swear it had been
working out. The capper? That dizzying scent of a perfect smoke.
I had tried making bacon years
earlier, and when it never seemed to
come out right — it was either too
hammy tasting, too salty or too something else — I had given up. So when
I sizzled up a slice of my brother-inlaw's slab and took a bite, I went from
zero to jealous before I even digested.
And that is where Aristotle comes
in. "Jealousy is both reasonable and
belongs to reasonable men," he wrote,
"while envy is base and belongs to
the base, for the one makes himself
get good things by jealousy, while the
other does not allow his neighbor to
have them through envy."
I took the words to heart and
turned my reasonable jealousy into
a commitment to make myself get a
good thing: better homemade bacon.
I'm not the only one on such a quest.
In this golden age of bacon, sales are
growing every year (and now top $4
billion annually), bacon obsessives
praise the singular qualities of Benton's from Tennessee, Nueske's from
Wisconsin and Niman Ranch from
California; and the flimsy, fatty stuff

and smoked meats. (Until recently, the operation

such as breakfast bacon cured with
salt, dark brown sugar, black peppercorns and curing salt; a maple bacon;
and a black pepper-coated bacon.
Truth is, you have to master the basics before you can branch out. And
when I first made bacon, I didn't
know how I was messing things up
because I failed to pay close attention.
Even after I tasted my brother-in-law's
bacon and my jealousy motivated me
to try again, my next attempt wasn't
quite right. That time, I had learned to
pay attention, so I knew exactly where
I had gone wrong.
I had added too much salt to the
cure and left it on the meat too long,
so my bacon came out tasting overly
sharp. Since then, I've been careful to
watch my proportions.
That doesn't mean I haven't gotten
a little wacky with herbs and spices.
It's fun to experiment. (Za'atar bacon,
anybody? Kinda cool. Once.) Like
Story, though, I believe that developing a great basic cure is the way to go,
because then the bacon you end up
with is that much more versatile.
The main ingredient in a cure, salt,
functions primarily to kill bacteria
and thus act as a preservative. To
prevent botulism (a relatively rare
foodborne illness most often caused
by improper home canning), sodium
nitrite in the form of curing salt is often also used in cured and processed
meats. But because bacon is fried before eating, botulism isn't an issue, so
the use of curing salt is considered
optional.
Curing salt is pink (to distinguish
it from table salt). The type used in
bacon is pink salt #1 (#2 is for longer
cures), and it gives the bacon a rosy
color and, some say, a characteristic bacon flavor. I have made lots of
bacon, some with and some without
pink salt #1, and I don't think there

BLT
From Smoke Signals columnist Jim
Shahin
Summary: It's hard to improve on
the classic bacon, lettuce and tomato
sandwich, but this recipe's piquant
jalapeño sauce and homemade bacon
definitely take it up a notch or two.
The heat of jalapeños can vary, so it's
best to taste a bit of the chili pepper
before adding the full amount called
for here. The optional avocado adds a
rich, creamy element to the sandwich.
You will have leftover sauce, which
can be used as a salad dressing and
as a mayonnaise substitute in potato
salad. Serve this sandwich with potato chips and a pickle.
MAKE AHEAD: The sauce can be
refrigerated in an airtight container
for up to 1 week.
Ingredients:
For the sauce
• Scant 1/4 cup regular or low-fat
sour cream
• 1 tablespoon regular or low-fat
mayonnaise
• 1/2 medium jalapeño pepper,
seeded and minced (1 tablespoon; see headnote)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
cilantro leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the sandwich
• 8 slices thin bacon, preferably
homemade
• 2 slices fresh bread, toasted
• 3 slices ripe tomato, or enough to
cover the bacon
• 4 thin slices fresh avocado (optional; see headnote)
• 2 leaves crisp iceberg or romaine
lettuce
Steps:
For the sauce: Whisk together the
sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the
minced jalapeño (to start), the lime
juice, cilantro, garlic and salt in a
bowl. Taste, and add some or all of
the remaining jalapeño. (You may
instead pulse all the ingredients in a
mini food processor no more than
three times; the sauce's texture should
remain a little coarse.)
For the sandwich: Line a plate with
paper towels.
Lay the bacon strips in a large skillet or on a wide griddle (or work in
batches, as needed). Place over medium heat; cook for 3 to 4 minutes per
side or just until crisp. Transfer to the
paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Slather about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the
jalapeño sauce on one side of each
toasted slice of bread. Lay the bacon
on one sauced side, then layer the
tomato slices over the bacon so they
cover the meat completely. Add the
avocado, if using, then the lettuce
leaves. Top with the remaining slice
of bread, sauced side down.
For easier serving, use a toothpick to
anchor each sandwich half before cutting. Serve right away. 1 or 2 servings.

Opening the trunk unveils a ceremony of tackiness — exposed rearspeaker wires and housing. There
appears to have been no attempt to
conceal the ganglia or do anything to
make the mess — no other way to describe it — less visually objectionable.
Chevrolet is to be congratulated
for its overall engineering and design
of the diesel Cruze. I like being able
ing, "The dishes are done!" My father
would inspect my job, find crumbs
on the kitchen counter or something
left on the table, and declare: "The
kitchen isn't done. Finish this work."
My father would have loved the
2015 Chevrolet Cruze turbo-diesel
sedan — and he would have hated it.
It is not finished.
The diesel Cruze is a good car. It is
one of the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid passenger cars sold in the United
States, at 27 miles per gallon in the
city and 46 mpg on the highway — a
driving range of up to 717 miles per
tank. It reliably starts every time in
weather fair or foul, hot or cold. For
2015, it has a pleasantly revised body
and an attractive, high-quality, ergonomically sensible interior.
It is a good effort that, unfortunately, stops short of quality completion.
Here is what I mean:
to drive from our home in Virginia
to visit our daughters in New York
without stopping to refuel. The twotone interior, cocoa and beige, looks
pleasant in a high-end way. But "feel"
in an automobile, or in anything else,
involves sight, sound and touch. The
Cruze leaves the job undone on several of those measures.
The diesel Cruze, for example, is
substantially noisier than the only
other compact diesel sedan sold in
the United States, the Volkswagen
Jetta TDI. The Cruze could perhaps
use more sound-deadening. I don't
think the problem is with the engine,
because the Cruze uses the same 2-liter turbocharged (forced air) fourcylinder diesel popularly used by GM
in Europe. I think the problem is with
"finishing," which is something that
GM has for too long ignored, or just
not taken seriously.

he fuel gods seem to be conspiring against the strong
emergence of a diesel-vehicle
market in the United States. Gasoline
prices nationwide are still quite low,
albeit rising slightly in the past few
months. Overall gasoline consumption in America is at its lowest level
since 1984, according to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
It is the result of a seemingly happy
confluence of events for energy conservation and the environment. But
it bodes ill for a stronger U.S. market
for diesel-fueled vehicles, which are
30 to 35 percent more fuel efficient
but usually several thousand dollars
more expensive than their gasoline
counterparts.
That is too bad, because we are getting some of the best diesel cars and
trucks ever made available — models
such as the excellent 2015 BMW 328d
xDrive Sports Wagon, the subject of
this week's column.
For example, look at the Jetta TDI
and diesel Cruze. I frankly think the
diesel Cruze offers a better package,
especially when equipped with an optional glass roof, premium sound system and advanced electronic safety
package for an estimated $2,125 in
optional costs. But, oddly, after hearing my father talk about "finishing"
for much of my life, I finally understand what he meant.
It means taking scrupulous care of
the little things — the items you think
no eyes will see, no hand will touch,
no ear will hear. It means making
sure all those things are done to perfection so everything that is seen, felt,
touched or heard is assumed to have
been done perfectly also. It is a matter of mastering perception, which is
where the Volkswagen Jetta TDI beats
the diesel Cruze.
Again, the diesel Cruze competes
well against the Jetta TDI in terms
of engineering and innovation — especially in the areas of connectivity
and advanced electronic safety features. But there is no exposed speaker
housing in the Jetta TDI, no dangling wires, very little engine noise
and no cheap plastic that the hands
can touch. The Jetta TDI feels richer, more substantial, more finished.
C'mon, GM. Finish this work.

U.S. Consumers Snap Up Trucks
in April as Gas Worries Fade
By Jing Cao and Keith
Naughton
Bloomberg News
W
ith fuel prices remaining low, Americans went
big in April, snapping up
jumbo SUVs and pickups.
With U.S. gasoline prices down by
about a third from a year ago, sales of
large and luxury sport utility vehicles
soared 31 percent in the first quarter,
while family sedan sales fell 3 percent,
according to researcher Autodata
Corp. That trend continued in April,
analysts said. It's getting so hard to
sell a small car, Ford Motor Co. is
laying off 700 workers at a Michigan
factory that makes compacts and hybrids.
American consumers have become
convinced lower fuel prices are here
to stay and they are reverting to the
vehicle equivalent of comfort food:
roomy SUVs and pickups. Their focus
on fuel economy has waned. Energy
recovery technologies weren't attractive to car buyers surveyed recently
by J.D. Power. Even President Barack
Obama's pleas to consumers to consider fuel- efficient cars have been
falling on deaf ears.
"Lower gas prices are influencing
people tremendously," said John Wolkonowicz, a Boston-based indepen-
dent auto analyst and historian. "Big
is what we want. Americans don't
want those little cars."
Speeding the move back to big is a
new crop of SUVs that don't guzzle
like they used to and now ride on
more comfortable car frames. These
SUVs, known as crossovers because
they combine attributes of cars and
trucks, have become the perfect package to appeal to Americans' desire to
live large without feeling guilty.
"The crossover is just tailor-made
for what we are as a country and who
we want to be," said Wolkonowicz,
a former product planner for Ford.
"Most Americans want to see themselves as adventurous people, taking a
go-anywhere, do- anything approach
to life."
While gasoline prices have increased 14 percent since the year began, a gallon of regular gasoline still
costs about a dollar less than it did a
year ago, according to AAA, the motoring club.
Trucks were likely to be top sellers
again when April results were released (after press time). JPMorgan
Chase & Co. predicted rising deliveries of profitable full-size pickups,
while CLSA predicted that General
Motors Co. would "benefit from the
strong SUV environment." The top
six automakers were all projected to
show gains compared with a year earlier as the annualized rate, adjusted
Nuts & Bolts: 2015 BMW 328d
xDrive Sports Wagon
• Bottom line: I am willing to trade a few miles per gallon for a significantly
lower price. I appreciate the effort and the billions of dollars manufacturers
poured into the development of automobiles such as the 328d xDrive Sports
Wagon. Congratulations on a job well done. But the consumer advantage, in
this case, goes to the gasoline-fueled 328i xDrive version. Most car buyers
are not altruists.
• Ride, acceleration and handling: The 328d xDrive Sports Wagon gets top
marks in ride and handling. Start-from-stop acceleration is a tad slow (0-to60 in 8.3 seconds by my admittedly non-scientific measurement). But the
little wagon pulls exceptionally well in the long haul.
Head-turning quotient: It looks smart and rich, especially with its M-style
aerodynamic body work.
Body style/layout: The 328d is a compact, front-engine, diesel-fueled, fourdoor wagon with a rear hatch. It is a great urban carrier that fits neatly into
tight parking spots.
Engine/transmission: The 2015 BMW 328d comes standard with a 2-liter,
twin-turbocharged (forced air), 16-valve, inline four-cylinder diesel engine
mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that also can be shifted
manually.
Capacities: Seating is for five people. There is enough cargo room for a
week's worth of groceries for a family of four. The fuel tank holds 15 gallons
of required ultra-low-sulfur diesel.
Mileage: I averaged 43 miles per gallon on the highway — no passengers,
no cargo.
Safety: Standard equipment includes front and rear ventilated disc brakes;
four-wheel antilock brake protection; emergency braking assistance; automatic brake drying; traction and stability control.
Pricing: The 2015 BMW 328d xDrive Sports Wagon starts at $43,250 with
an estimated dealer's invoice price of $41,000. Price as tested is $52,050,
including $7,850 in options (M Sports trim, Dakota Oyster leather seat
covering, cold-weather package, advanced electronic-safety package and
dynamic-handling package). Dealer's price as tested is $49,500. ■
for seasonal trends, rises to 16.7 million, the average analyst estimate.
As Americans increasingly turn toward bigger vehicles, automakers are
responding.
Sales of GM's sleekly redesigned
Suburban SUV were up 77 percent
in the first three months of the year
and the automaker is doing all it can
to squeeze more out of the Texas
plant that makes them. Ford's Lincoln
Navigator SUV, a hip-hop favorite
way back in the 1990s, has found new
life with modern styling that boosted
sales 84 percent in the first quarter.
"These are not the same SUVs as
10 years ago," said Michelle Krebs,
senior analyst with AutoTrader.com.
Crossovers, in particular, "get better
fuel economy and because they're on
a car platform they feel different."
Improved mileage and lower fuel
prices have minimized buyers' interest in the issue. Consumers ranked
a list of energy-recovery systems not
important in a new J.D. Power survey
of technology preferences. That may
be because car buyers have a "short
memory" when it comes to expensive
gasoline, said Kristin Kolodge, J.D.
Power's executive director of driver
interaction and Human Machine Interface research.
"We might have seen a different
answer if prices were at $5 a gallon,"
Kolodge said.
With no panic at the pump to drive
consumer behavior, sales of small cars
and hybrids have plunged. Small cars
accounted for 18.5 percent of U.S.
auto sales in the first quarter, down
from 20 percent a year ago, Ford
Chief Executive Officer Mark Fields
told analysts last week.
"Because of that reduction, that's
why we took the shift off " at the
Wayne, Michigan, factory that builds
the Focus compact and C-Max hybrid, Fields said. "The good news for
us is as we see that shift into trucks
and utilities, that's a benefit for us
because of our profitability on those
vehicles."
That profit potential has Obama
worried that U.S. automakers will
return to the bad old days of dependence on big, fuel-thirsty vehicles.
"Detroit needs to be focused on
capturing, you know, the lion's share
of the market for fuel-efficient cars,"
Obama told the Wall Street Journal
last week. "I understand that American consumers sometimes are resistant. We like big cars and we like driving long ways and we like cheap gas."
U.S. automakers, though, need to
"seize the future" by selling more fuelefficient models, the president said.
He also encouraged consumers not to
be lulled into believing gas prices will
remain low forever.
"If you're going out shopping for a
new car, don't think it's always going
to be this low," Obama said in January at an event in Phoenix, according
to the Detroit News. "You'll be mad at
me later, and I'll be able to say, 'I told
you: Don't get a gas guzzler.' "
Steering Americans away from larger vehicles isn't easy. Mid-sized SUVs
are the most shopped vehicle type on
AutoTrader.com and compact SUVs
are No. 2, Krebs said. American drivers like to ride high and have space for
people and cargo, Wolkonowicz said.
And they feel safer in larger vehicles.
Demographics also are driving the
shift to SUVs. The millennial generation, offspring of baby boomers, are
entering their nesting years and need
space for all those child seats they're
strapping into their vehicles.
"J.D. Power says 28 percent of new
car sales now are to millennials,"
Krebs said. "They're mostly older millennials who are starting families and
they need more space."
Unit sales of cars and light trucks
in April probably rose 5.9 percent to
about 1.47 million vehicles, according
to the average estimate from 12 analysts. There were 26 selling days last
month, the same as last year.
Nissan may report the biggest
year-on-year gain among the top automakers with a 9 percent increase,
the average estimate of eight analysts
surveyed by Bloomberg. Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles may come in second at
a 7.6 percent jump, according to estimates. GM and Ford may report a
5.3 percent and 6.1 percent gain, respectively.

2015 NFL Draft Grades: Jets, Falcons Come Up Aces
By Mark Maske
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
T
he NFL draft has ended. And
while it will take years to sort
out the true winners and losers, there is something to be said
about which teams did the best jobs of
squeezing the maximum value out of
the picks they had based on the current evaluations of the players they
chose and passed up.
So here goes one attempt at an immediate assessment.
NFC EAST
WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Brandon Scherff is a good player and if
he becomes a reliable starter at right
tackle, all is well. But if he ends up
playing guard, he might not have
been worth the No. 5 overall pick.
Will the Redskins regret passing up
DE Leonard Williams, perhaps the
draft's top defensive player? The pass
rusher they took in Round 2, Preston Smith, might not be an ideal fit
for a 3-4 defense if the Redskins try
to use him at outside linebacker, at
271 pounds. First-year GM Scot McCloughan did manage to trade for additional picks, as he'd said he wanted
to do. The Redskins have to hope it
turns out that he cashed in on some
final-day selections like WR Jamison
Crowder or G Arie Kouandijo. Grade:
B-minus minus
DALLAS COWBOYS: The Cowboys ended Randy Gregory's plummet by taking him late in the second
round. He has been a highly productive pass rusher and he could be
the steal of the draft if all works out,
giving the Cowboys a potential replacement for suspended DE Greg
Hardy. But other teams were wary of
Gregory's off-field issues after his admission of testing positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Could the Cowboys really afford to
take such further risks after signing
Hardy? Dallas didn't trade for Adrian
Peterson or use an early pick on a
running back, as some had anticipated, to replace DeMarco Murray. That
leaves the Cowboys open to criticism
if the running game falters. CB Byron
Jones was worth the 27th pick and T
Chaz Green, taken in the third round,
could be next in line behind starting
tackles Tyron Smith and Doug Free.
Grade: B-minus
NEW YORK GIANTS: The Giants
reportedly had Brandon Scherff rated
ahead of Ereck Flowers on their draft
board but had to settle for Flowers
at 9th overall when Scherff went to
the Redskins four picks earlier. Still,
Flowers should be able to step into the
lineup immediately, whether it's at
right tackle or guard, and bolster the
offensive line. The Giants traded up in
the second round and got good value
with S Landon Collins, who'd been
projected by many to go in the opening round. DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa, taken in the third round, should
vie for immediate playing time.
Grade: B-plus
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: The
Eagles tried desperately to
trade up for Marcus Mariota, people close to the
situation said Thursday.
They tried far harder than
they have been willing to
admit in the aftermath, and
their failure to complete
such a deal undoubtedly
leaves Coach Chip Kelly
feeling like he will have a
less-than-ideal situation at
quarterback. Now he must
make things work with Sam Bradford
after reportedly being willing to include him in the potential draft-night
trade package. The Eagles did add
players who should contribute immediately with their first-round pick
of WR Nelson Agholor and secondround selection of S/CB Eric Rowe.
Grade: B-minus
NFC NORTH
CHICAGO BEARS: The Bears
did very well, getting immediate
difference-makers on both sides of
the ball. Kevin White is a potential
game-breaker at wide receiver. Some
thought he might go fourth overall to
the Raiders but Chicago didn't have
to move up from the seventh spot to
get him. The Bears were able to get
DT Eddie Goldman, considered a potential first-round choice, seven picks
into the second round, and adding C
Hroniss Grasu in the third round fortifies the middle of the offensive line.
Grade: A-minus
DETROIT LIONS: The Lions
passed on taking Malcom Brown late
in the first round despite a significant
need at defensive tackle after losing both Ndamukong Suh and Nick
Fairley in free agency. They did add
greatly to the interior of their offensive line by trading down, getting G
Manny Ramirez in the deal, and then
selecting G Laken Tomlinson. Detroit
got a potentially explosive runner in
the second round in Ameer Abdullah,
but some draft analysts raised questions about the pick because of his
issues with fumbling. Grade: C-plus
GREEN BAY PACKERS: The Packers focused on their secondary early
in the draft, taking defensive backs
with their first two picks. There is
room to question whether they went
with S Damarious Randall a little too
soon at 30th overall. His tackling has
been questioned. But his pass coverage has been praised and it's possible
that the Packers will use him at cornerback. Green Bay also added an
interesting quarterback alternative
for far, far down the road by using a
fifth-round choice on Brett Hundley
after trading up. Grade: C-plus
MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Adrian
Peterson stayed put, with the Vikings
doing as they said they'd do and not
trading the running back. Minnesota
improved considerably on defense,
and its first two picks should be immediate contributors. The Vikings
got the draft's top cornerback, Trae
Waynes, at 11th overall, and came
back in the second round to add LB
Eric Kendricks. But their best move
probably was getting T T.J. Clemmings in the fourth round. He could
be a starter relatively soon. WR Stefon
Diggs could be a pleasant fifth-round
surprise. Grade: A-minus
NFC SOUTH
ATLANTA FALCONS: The Falcons were thought to be considering a trade-up in the first round for

Jalen Collins in the second and RB
Tevin Coleman in the third. Collins
only made 10 starts at LSU but clearly
is talented and could develop into an
NFL standout. Coleman illustrates
that it doesn't take a first- or even a
second-round choice to get a runner
capable of stepping into the lineup
and producing. Grade: A
CAROLINA PANTHERS: The
Panthers made a debatable pick in
the opening round by taking Shaq
Thompson. There are questions as
to whether he will be a safety or a
linebacker in the NFL. If the Panthers project Thompson as a safety,
they could have taken Landon Collins instead. They did get an interesting player in the second round in
Devin Funchess but will have to figure out whether he will be a tight end
or a wide receiver. Carolina lacked
a third-round pick and probably
needed to do more to maximize its
early choices. The Panthers did make
a fourth-round bid to address their
ongoing issues on the offensive line
by taking G Daryl Williams. But that
might not have been enough in that
area. Grade: CNEW ORLEANS SAINTS: This is
a deep and interesting draft class for
New Orleans. The Saints used their
two first-rounders on T Andrus Peat
and LB Stephone Anthony. They got
the nation's sack leader in the second
round in LB Hau'oli Kikaha. Anthony, Kikaha and CB P.J. Williams,
an excellent third-round value, all
should help right away on defense
while the Saints also added a potential quarterback of the future in the
third round in Garrett Grayson. Remember, New Orleans had to trade
away Jimmy Graham to get its second
first-rounder. Even so, the Saints had
an abundance of early picks and used
them relatively well. Grade: B-plus
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: The
Buccaneers surprised no one by using
the top overall selection on QB Jameis
Winston. Now they must cross their
fingers and hope their confidence that
he can avoid further significant offfield issues is justified. On the field,
he is a pro-ready quarterback. The
Buccaneers rightly addressed Winston's offensive line soon after taking
him. But there is room to wonder if
they chose the right offensive tackle,
in Donovan Smith, near the top of the
second round and if C Ali Marpet will
make a seamless transition to the NFL
from Division III Hobart. Grade: B
NFC WEST
ARIZONA CARDINALS: The Cardinals, after signing G Mike Iupati
in free agency, continued to work on
the offensive line by choosing T D.J.
Humphries 24th overall. He was a
good value at that point and Arizona
was able to come back in the third
round and get the help at running
back that it needed by selecting David
Johnson. Grade: B
ST. LOUIS RAMS: The Rams got
a potentially dynamic and productive runner when they used the 10th
overall choice on Todd Gurley. There
was talk of some teams having Gurley rated as one of the draft's top few
players. It is nevertheless fair to question whether the Rams needed to use
such a lofty pick to get a productive
running back, given the recent history of the NFL draft. They did fortify the offensive line by taking Ts
Rob Havenstein and Jamon Brown.
They made Sean Mannion the fourth
quarterback taken in the draft, ahead
of Bryce Petty and Brett Hundley.
Grade: B
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: The
49ers focused intently on their defense, and the defensive front seven in
particular, early on, which is understandable after the retirements of LBs
Patrick Willis and Chris Borland. DT
Arik Armstead, chosen 17th overall
after the 49ers traded down two spots,
has obvious talent but some draft analysts have questioned his consistency. The 49ers were fortunate to get LB
Eli Harold in the third round. Grade:
B-minus
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: The Se-
ahawks get credit here for the trade
that sent the 31st overall selection
(along with C Max Unger) to the
Saints for TE Jimmy Graham and a
fourth-round choice. There certainly
was not a player of Graham's caliber
available for the 31st pick, and the
deal greatly strengthened Seattle's
bid for a third straight Super Bowl
appearance. The Seahawks traded
up to get a potential contributor in
the third round in WR Tyler Lockett,
who could help on offense and is a dynamic returner. They gave up quite a
bit to the Redskins in that trade but,
in their enviable situation, could afford to do so. Grade: B
AFC EAST
BUFFALO BILLS: The Bills might
not get all that much immediate help
out of this draft. They were without
a first-round pick after dealing it last
year as part of the trade to move up
for WR Sammy Watkins. That turned
out well, although productive wide
receivers were practically everywhere
to be found in last year's draft. CB
Ronald Darby, taken in the second
round Friday, might have a tough
time securing playing time on this defense. But third-round G John Miller
has a chance to be a starter. Grade:
Grade: C-plus
MIAMI DOLPHINS: The Dolphins
did well to get another dangerous
receiving option for QB Ryan Tannehill. DeVante Parker was the third
wide receiver taken in this draft, after
Amari Cooper and Kevin White, and
was the right choice for Miami at 14th
overall. DT Jordan Phillips, taken in
the second round, could be effective

if given a chance to play alongside
Ndamukong Suh. RB Jay Ajayi might
emerge as a superb fifth-round find.
Grade: B
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: The
Patriots made one of the best selections in the entire draft on the final
choice of the first round, and all it
took was a little bit of luck. They
stayed put and DT Malcom Brown
fell to them. He fits in nicely after the
Patriots parted with veteran Vince
Wilfork earlier in the offseason. Some
questioned whether the Patriots took
S Jordan Richards too soon by selecting him late in the second round.
But third-round DE Geneo Grissom could play a role on the defense.
Grade: B
NEW YORK JETS: The Jets made
sensible moves throughout. They
had good fortune when DE Leonard
Williams, probably the best defensive
player in the draft and perhaps the top
overall player, fell to them at No. 6.
They got WR Devin Smith early in the
second round. He should step right in
and help. The Jets traded down in the
third round and ended up with solid
LB Lorenzo Mauldin. A badly needed
prospective quarterback of the future
arrived in the fourth round with the
selection of Bryce Petty. He immediately becomes the most promising
quarterback on the roster but the Jets
will have to resist the temptation to
go to him too soon. He faces an adjustment from Baylor's offense to the
NFL game and won't be ready to play
in the foreseeable future. Grade: A
AFC NORTH
BALTIMORE RAVENS: There is no
better general manager in the league
than Ozzie Newsome and he helped
out QB Joe Flacco quite a bit by adding WR Breshad Perriman in the first
round and TE Maxx Williams in the
second round. Perriman's dropped
passes have drawn attention. But
he has the ability to develop into a

Dog Flu Symptoms
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: At my dog's recent
checkup, the veterinarian told me to keep an eye
on him as a new strain of flu is going around in
my area. I didn't even know dogs could get the
flu. Can you tell other pet owners what symptoms to look for? -- Carol in Chicago
DEAR CAROL: Dogs (and cats) can contract
certain strains of the flu virus, and veterinarians even offer flu shots for pets to protect
against the most common strains.
In the Chicago area, a new strain of flu virus
that affects dogs and cats was recently identified by scientists at Cornell University and
theUniversity of Wisconsin. The Chicago Sun
Times reported that more than 1,000 dogs have
become ill with the flu this spring. Symptoms
include a cough, runny nose and fever. The se-

"Jeans On" after its initial success as a television commercial for Brutus Jeans?
2. Who wrote and recorded "Next Door to
an Angel," "Love Will Keep Us Together" and
"Bad Blood"?
3. Who released "Whispers (Gettin' Louder)"?
4. In 1963, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was
the a-side single. What was on the b-side?
Who cut the record?
5. Name the song that contains this lyric:
"When we met I was sure out to lunch, Now
my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch."
Answers
1. British musician David Dundas. The
song was his biggest hit.
2. Neil Sedaka. It was "Bad Blood" that revived his career in 1975.
3. Jackie Wilson, in 1966.
4. "This Boy," by the Beatles.
5. "Along Comes Mary," by the Association in 1966. The song was written by Tandyn Almer and is about marijuana, not a girl
named Mary. No one-hit wonder, Almer wrote
volumes of music with sophisticated lyrics, a
fact that has been discovered since his death
two years ago.

verity of these symptoms can vary, so it's best
to contact the vet even if your dog's symptoms
seem mild.
If your pet is diagnosed with the flu, your vet
may recommend that you keep your pet well hydrated, and may or may not prescribe medicine
to ease some symptoms. Do not take your pet to
a kennel, doggy daycare, dog park or any other
place where it may be around other dogs. If its
symptoms get worse or it stops eating or drinking, take your dog to the vet immediately.
A vaccine is available for dogs and cats that
protects against the most common strains
of the flu, and can lessen the effects of other
strains. Talk to your vet about getting this shot.

However we have been reading horror stories on the internet about how
when you get there they jack up the
charges 4-500 percent and if you

well as a boatload of other insurances.
It's impossible to get a clear handle
on what these charges are. Is there a
reputable company that we can deal
with that has these charges up front
and can be paid before getting there?

require a car because our accommodations are out in the boonies without
public transportation.
A: If you're dealing with a reputable
car rental agency at a major airport,
you should not run into any trouble.
I would contact your rental company
in advance and ask them what kind of
documentation you need regarding
insurance. It varies between car rental
agencies and municipalities in some
countries. If you're very concerned,
you might also want to call the rental
location and speak with a manager, to
make sure you have what you need.
Q: After making an online reservation for a hard-to-book hotel in
France for this summer, VI-SA updated my card to a new "chip" card. I
emailed the hotel that my card number was the same (without, of course,
mentioning the number), but the new
expiration date was 10/2019. The hotel did not reply. The card I used to
make the reservation (again, same
number, but a 2016 exp. date) is no
longer valid. Should I be concerned?
Do hotels re-verify card information
prior to the check-in date? Thank
you!
A: I would not be concerned. If
your card number had changed — if,
for example, you had lost your card
and had to close the account — then
you might have to give the hotel a
new credit card number. But I've never had a case where someone lost a
reservation because they were is-sued

Q: What are the best strategies for
strengthening self-control?
A: I found when it comes to resisting a strong temptation, for some
people abstaining works really well.
With technology, often people have
to go cold turkey. Like my sister:
She couldn't just play a little Candy
Crush. She had to delete it from all of
her devices.
There are four areas that really
matter for our self-control. You want
to think about eating and drinking
right; sleeping, because you lose your
self-control if you're drained; moving,
just a little bit of exercise helps people
have self-mastery; and then, weirdly,
uncluttering. I was kind of surprised
to realize how im-portant this was.
For many people, getting rid of stuff
makes you feel more in control of
your life. And if it's an illusion, it's a
helpful illusion.
tact information. I don't recall this
from previous applications. Is this
mandato-ry? I'm not married, I don't
have kids, and there isn't anyone I
want to list as an emergency con-tact
in government files. I can't be the only
person who feels this way. What happens if I leave the lines blank? Can I
be denied my passport? Alternatively,
can I enter as my contact "The President, The White House, Washington"
and let the bureaucrats think I'm a
cousin or some-thing?
A: Oh, you had me stumped with
that one. And it turns out I wasn't
alone. I asked my contacts at the State
Department, and here's what they
told me: "Yes, the emergency contact
information is a requirement. I am
not sure on the action that would be
taken if an applicant did not list an
emergency contact, or if they listed
someone such as the president."
That's right, you stumped the State
Department.
Q: I'm flying to Zurich on Thanksgiving Day, in preparation for boarding a river cruise leaving from Basel,
Switzerland, on the Monday after
Thanksgiving. I'll have three nights to
spend pre-cruise getting over my jet
lag and seeing a bit of Switzerland (my
first visit there). I've come up with
three choices: stay in Zurich after I
land there, then take a train to Basel
the day I board the ship; go directly to
Basel and spend the three days there;
or, take a train from Zurich airport to
Lucerne (about an hour) and spend
the time in Lucerne. Having never
been to any of those cit-ies, I'm kind
of clueless. Do you have a recommendation? (It will also be the beginning
of Christmas Market season, which is
why I'm taking the cruise in the first
place, if that would affect your recommendation.)
A: All three of those cities offer a
Christmas market, but I believe Basel's is the largest. My choice, however, would be Lucerne, a lovely city
with beautiful scenery. With three
days, you may be able to hit at least
two of the three.

Prayerful Thoughts
Etcetera...
By Linda Childs
Exclusive to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
I thought I had no unforgiveness in my heart, but the other day someone said
something that reminded me of a wrong that was done to me, and when it came
into my mind, I realized that I had not forgiven them as I thought I had. I knew
this when feelings of bitterness and resentment arose in me.
I know that we are to forgive all who wrong us, just as You forgive for us of
ALL our sins and wrongdoing, past, present and future, through the price paid
by Jesus Christ. It certainly makes sense that we can't ask of You something
we aren’t willing to do ourselves. But what exactly is forgiveness; what does it
mean?
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “forgive” this way: to stop feeling
anger toward (someone who has done something wrong); to stop blaming
(someone); to cease to feel resentment against (an offender); to pardon. I think
herein lies the key. What You are asking us to do is get over the offense, giving
up the bitterness and feelings of having been wronged. This is not the same as
saying what was done was not wrong, just that we don't need the negativity of
our response to it poisoning our heart and soul—this only extends the effects
on us of the original offense, so that we continue the suffering it caused in us,
with no further effort on the part of the offender. In fact in most instances, I
think that the offender has long since moved on, while we can keep ourselves
stuck in a state of perpetual offense. We need to forget about it, and “remember
it no more,” as You do for us.
Furthermore, You would have us pray for the offender, treat them with kindness, mercy and even the love of Christ. I believe You require this of us so that
we may actually feel and internalize the forgiveness and show it in a tangible
way, lest it be just lip service and not actual forgiveness. Again, we shouldn't expect the same from You if we can't give it to others. It is also a comfort to know
that this is a means by which we may overcome evil with good.
Another key point is that, as we are all human on this earth, in many instances
the person who offended may have done so unwittingly, by mistake or in a moment of weakness or emotion. Who among us has never committed such acts?
And if the act was one of intentional harm, we have the comfort of knowing
that we need not seek retribution, as You will take care of that in Your own time
and way. Your retribution may include things here in our world; for example,
perhaps that person may end up living a lonely, unhappy, friendless existence
due to the way they choose to behave, or even that the offender is prosecuted in
a court of law for more serious offenses. Often we will never know how or when
Your reprisal occurs, and it may not be in this realm at all, but then letting go of
the need to know that is part of our act of forgiving.
Regardless of the offender’s intention, I can see that forgiveness, like so many
other aspects of our walk with You, is something that takes practice, a conscious effort and above all, our seeking of Your help. It is also something that
can be made easier or more achievable if we take the time to understand just
what it means and what Your wishes are in the matter. As always, I seek Your
help with my unforgiveness of the person who wronged me. After researching
this, I am working on letting go of the offense, and have prayed for the person. I
pray especially that person opens their heart to You, that they may be filled with
Your love and compassion, so that they will no longer continue to behave that
way anymore. If this doesn't happen, the I leave it in Your hands, dear Lord, that
I may continue living a life full of Your love, peace and joy, unobstructed by my
own unforgiveness. Thank You Lord God for Your loving help with this and all
things. It is such a comfort to know that You are always there for us, constantly
helping us to grow stronger and improve as children of God, regardless of what
we encounter in this world.
Amen
1 John 2:9-11 (CEB) The one who claims to be in the light while hating a
brother or sister is in the darkness even now. The person loving a brother and
sister stays in the light, and there is nothing in the light that causes a person
to stumble. But the person who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and
lives in the darkness, and doesn’t know where to go because the darkness blinds
the eyes.
Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful regarding their wrong deeds, and I will
never again remember their sins."
Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for
those who persecute you,
Romans 11:14-21 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony
with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be
wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is
honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God,

very good receiver who could be an
integral part of the Ravens' passing
game with Torrey Smith gone and
Steve Smith not getting any younger. Williams is the draft's top tight
end. The Ravens failed to address
the secondary in a meaningful way
but gave their defensive line a boost
with third-round DT Carl Davis and
fourth-round DE Za'Darius Smith.
Grade: B
CINCINNATI BENGALS: The
Bengals solidified their future offensive line by using their first two picks
of the draft on Ts Cedric Ogbuehi and
Jake Fisher. Those were wise moves
long-term, with starting tackles Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith
entering the final season of their
contracts. But as the Bengals seek the
playoff victory that has eluded them
under Coach Marvin Lewis and with
Andy Dalton at quarterback, should
they have done more early in the draft
to improve their team immediately?
Maybe Ogbuehi, once he recovers
from his torn anterior cruciate ligament, or Fisher could be given a rookie-year look at guard. TE Tyler Kroft
and LB Paul Dawson, each picked in
the third round, have the potential to
help out, and there perhaps could be
a role for fourth-round CB Josh Shaw.
Grade: B-minus
CLEVELAND BROWNS: The
Browns had five picks in the first three
rounds and they clearly got better on
the offensive and defensive lines. Both
first-rounders, DT Danny Shelton
and C Cameron Erving, should become mainstays. Cleveland also added defensive linemen Nate Orchard in
the second round and Xavier Cooper
in the third. RB Duke Johnson, also
taken in the third round, should contribute. But the Browns did not fix
their problems at quarterback. There
was no trade up for Marcus Mariota
and no deal to land Sam Bradford.
They did not add a receiver early in
the draft to compensate for Josh Gordon's suspension. So while they got
good players, it's not at all clear that
the bottom-line result will be meaningful improvement. Grade: B-minus
PITTSBURGH STEELERS: The
Steelers used three of their first four
choices on their defense and provided
some badly needed help for their pass
rush and secondary. Being able to get
pass-rushing LB Bud Dupree at 22nd
overall was both fortunate and wise.
Addressing the defensive backfield
was imperative and Pittsburgh added a pair of cornerbacks in secondrounder Senquez Golson and fourthrounder Doran Grant. Grade: B
AFC SOUTH
HOUSTON TEXANS: The Texans got probably the draft's secondbest cornerback in Kevin Johnson,
who was well worth the 16th overall
choice. They added a solid linebacker
in the second round in Benardrick
McKinney, and they traded up to take
advantage of WR Jaelen Strong's drop
to the third round. Strong was a terrific value at that point. Grade: B-plus
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: The
Colts added to a position of strength
by using their first-round selection
on speedy WR Phillip Dorsett. That's
not always the wrong way to go. But
with the Colts' moves in free agency
signaling that they're making an immediate Super Bowl push with some
key aging veterans around QB Andrew Luck, maybe that wasn't the
best approach for the circumstances.
The Colts' most immediately useful
pick might end up being third-round
DE Henry Anderson. Grade: Grade:
C-minus
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: The
Jaguars went with the draft's top
pass rusher, Dante Fowler Jr., over
perhaps its top defensive player, DE
Leonard Williams, at third overall.
There probably was no going wrong
there, although there is the potential
for regret if Williams is dominant in
the NFL. There's no issue with taking
a running back in the second round
but 36th overall might have been just
a little bit soon for T.J. Yeldon. A.J.
Cann, chosen in the third round, can
fortify the interior of the offensive
line immediately at guard or center.
Grade: B
TENNESSEE TITANS: The Titans
did the right thing by taking QB
Marcus Mariota second overall. It's a
quarterbacks' league and if you don't
have a franchise player at the spot,
you have to do all that you can do to
try to get one. Yes, there are questions
about whether Mariota's skills will
translate to the pro game. But the Titans weren't in position to bypass him
and count on Zach Mettenberger to
be their starter at the position. Barring an overwhelming trade offer that
apparently didn't materialize, the Titans simply had to go with Mariota.
They gave him a potentially dominant
receiver in the second round by taking Dorial Green-Beckham. But that
is a risky choice because of GreenBeckham's off-field issues that led to
him being dismissed from the team at
Missouri. Grade: B-plus

H
ere are two bacon
recipes from the story
Smoke Your Own Bacon
by Jim Shahin, on page 13.
For both recipes, If the pork belly
you find is skin-on, you can slice it off using a thin fillet knife, or ask your butcher
to remove it. The optional pink curing
salt called for here (not the same thing
as pink Himalayan salt) adds color; it is
available at Williams-Sonoma stores and
online via Amazon.com.
Before the smoking step, you'll need to
soak a cup of apple wood chips (preferably) or hickory or cherry wood chips
in water for 1 hour. And you'll need an
instant-read thermometer.
MAKE AHEAD: The spice mixture
can be refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. The bacon needs to cure in the refrigerator for 7 days; the rinsed, drained
bacon needs to air-dry in the refrigera-
nyeaglenews.com
tor for 8 to 24 hours. The air-dried bacon
can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or
frozen for up to 3 months. The cured,
smoked bacon needs to be refrigerated
for at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
Each recipe makes about 40 thin slices.
Both recipes have ingredients which
are too variable for a meaningful nutritional analysis.
Savory
Smoked
Bacon
Summary: Homemade bacon is one
of the easiest smoked meats you can prepare. This savory version is balanced with
a hint of heat from cayenne and chipotle,
a dark note from allspice and an herbaceous undertone from thyme.
Ingredients:
• 2 1/2 pounds skinless pork belly (see
headnote)
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black
pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves (may
substitute 2 teaspoons fresh
thyme leaves, rinsed and dried)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1/2 teaspoon pink curing salt (optional; see headnote & story)
Steps:
Rinse the belly and dry it thoroughly.
Trim it so that it forms a long rectangle.
(Reserve/freeze the excess pieces to add
to beans or greens.)
Combine the kosher salt, black pepper, thyme, cayenne pepper, allspice, chi-
potle powder and pink salt, if using, in
a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the pork
belly and seal, pressing out as much air as
possible. Massage to distribute the curing
mix evenly. Refrigerate for 7 days; turn
the bag over once a day.
Rinse the cure from the meat, and pat
the meat dry with paper towels. Let the
meat air-dry in the refrigerator for 8 to
24 hours.
Prepare the grill for indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn the heat to high. Drain
the chips and put them in a smoker box
or foil packet poked with a few fork holes
to release the smoke; set it between the
grate and the briquettes, close to the
flame. When you see smoke, reduce the
heat to medium-high (450 degrees).
Turn off the burners on one side.
If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal or briquettes; when the briquettes
are ready, distribute them on one side
of the grill. For a medium-hot fire, you
should be able to hold your hand 6
inches above the coals for 4 or 5 seconds.
Scatter the wood chips over the coals.
Have ready a spray water bottle for taming any flames.
Place the pork belly on the indirectheat side of the grill. Close the lid and
cook/smoke for 1 hour. Slide an instantread thermometer into one side of the
belly; when the bacon is done, its internal
temperature should register 150 degrees.
If it is below that, smoke for about 30
more minutes, but don't worry about the
exact internal temperature of the meat;
you are just giving it smoke for flavor.
Transfer the slab of bacon to a cutting
board; once it has cooled completely,
wrap it in aluminum foil and refrigerate
for at least 4 hours and up to 1 week. Be_________________________

fore using, set the bacon in the freezer for
about 10 minutes; chilled bacon is easier
to slice.
Fry thin slices in a skillet over medium
heat for about 4 minutes per side, until
crisp. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Sweet
Smoked
Bacon
Summary: This version of homemade bacon has a sweetness that goes
great with pancakes and waffles. The
sweetness is not overpowering and
complements other sweet dishes, but
25
nyeaglenews.com
is also terrific with such mainstays as
over-easy eggs.
Ingredients:
• 2 1/2 pounds skinless pork belly
(see headnote)
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple cider
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1 tablespoon coarsely ground
black pepper
• 1 teaspoon pink curing salt (optional; see headnote & story)
Steps:
Rinse the belly and dry it thoroughly. Trim it so that it forms a long rectangle. (Save the excess pieces to add
to beans or greens.)
Combine the molasses, brown sugar, kosher salt, cider, bourbon, black
pepper and pink salt, if using, in a
gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the pork
belly and seal, pressing out as much
air as possible. Massage to distribute
the curing mix evenly. Refrigerate for
7 days; turn the bag over once a day.
Rinse the cure from the meat and

pickling vegetables that would feed
many. She loved to bake. Moon cakes,
donuts and especially cookies were
here favorite. Dorothy learned the art
of baking Christmas cookies from her
mother, as they would make them for
neighbors and friends. She also loved
playing Skip Bo, knitting and reading. Dorothy was an avid NY Yankees
fan with a keen interest toward Derek
Jeter. Of special note as a teenager,
Dorothy loved to swim and actually
swam across Conesus Lake with her
twin brother, Donald.
Dorothy’s commitment to her town
and county was evident as she was the
Town of Springwater deputy supervisor for over 26 years and a member
of the Town of Springwater and the
Livingston County Republican Committee. She was also on the original
committee to build Noyes Memorial Hospital in Dansville. During her
younger years she was a 4-H Leader.
Dorothy was predeceased by her
parents, George and Mary Turner;
her husband Howard; her son William; her twin brother Donald Turner; other siblings, Gretchen Kelsey,
Gladys Scott, Glenn, Wilmot and Ken
Turner. She is survived by her children Mary Jane (Rick) Parks of Wayland and Barb (William) Marr of East
Rochester; grandchildren, William
(Tammy) Burke of Perkinsville and
Terry (Jennifer) Burke of East Springwater, Jerri Kinney and Billie Jo Marr,
both of East Rochester; great-grandchildren Collin and Kelsey Burke,
Emily and Hannah Burke, and Kaylee
Kinney; sisters-in-law Doris Kramer
of Wayland and Theresa Spencer of
Rochester; along with many generations of nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial was
held May 2nd at St. Joseph’s Church
followed by interment at St. Joseph’s
Cemetery in Wayland. Contributions
in Dorothy M. Kramer’s memory may

AFC WEST
DENVER BRONCOS: No one
made a bolder single move during the
draft than the Broncos did by trading up in the opening round to end
the Thursday night plummet of pass
rusher Shane Ray. Ray was an almostindisputable top-10 talent who plummeted after being cited earlier in the
week for marijuana possession. So
clearly there is risk involved in the
maneuver for Denver. But if it works
out, the Broncos will have another
pass-rushing threat to go with Von
Miller and DeMarcus Ware, and that
potential upgrade to their defense
just might be enough to keep them
in the conversation about the AFC's
top contenders. It is unclear, though,
if the Broncos did quite enough to
bolster QB Peyton Manning's offensive line by getting T Ty Sambrailo in
the second round and C Max Garcia
in the fourth. Grade: B-plus
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: The
Chiefs became convinced that CB
Marcus Peters was trustworthy
enough to use a first-round selection even after he was dismissed from
the team at Washington. They'd better be right on that because it was a
significant chance to take with the
18th overall pick. The Chiefs did address areas of major need by taking G

OAKLAND RAIDERS: The Raiders
did the proper thing by taking WR
Amari Cooper with the No. 4 pick.
He was the most polished receiver in
the draft and should be second-year
QB Derek Carr's primary target for
years to come. But it can be debated
just how much there is to like about
the Raiders' draft class after that.
Some regarded the early stages of the
second round as too soon to take DT
Mario Edwards Jr. Grade: B-minus
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Philip
Rivers stayed put. And while the

the first two. They traded up in the
first round to get RB Melvin Gordon.
Although it has become clear that
an opening-round selection isn't required in today's NFL to get a useful
runner, San Diego at least used a lower first-rounder than the Rams used
for Todd Gurley and, in the Chargers'
case, there was a bit of a drop-off from
Gurley and Gordon to the draft's next
tier of running backs. The Chargers
also added a tackling machine in second-round LB Denzel Perryman. San
Diego definitely improved at those
positions, although they are not the
most crucial positions in today's passfirst league. Grade: B
