Can the UTEP Miners win Conference USA? Its to By Joe Olvera , 2012 laugh
When it comes to the UT El Paso Miners football
team, every year is a year filled with high hopes and expectations. This year is no different. With their first game against Oklahoma tucked away in the loss column, the Miners exhibited some strength and some skill against the No. 4 team in the nation. For three whole quarters, the Miners held strong, sacking the quarterback on defense and running fast on offense, holding the Sooners to a 10-7 lead, hardly the stuff of legend. Eventually, however, OK pulled away for a 24-7 win a victory that was expected, albeit, the Sooners didnt live up to the hype of being favored by 30 points.

But, is it too early to hope? Can the Miners pursue an unlikely and unprecedented rush toward a division title? The Miners werent intimidated by the powerhouse Sooners, so are we looking at the new era Miners, as some players have claimed? The Miners history against their next opponent, Ole Miss, certainly looked promising. UTEP won the only other game between the two teams when it beat Ole Miss in the Sun Bowl in 1967. In addition, the Miners are 1-0 in Mississippi when they defeated Southern Miss 40-37 in 2008, in an exciting double-overtime game. Against Ole Miss, a team believed to be in rebuilding mode, it was expected that the Miners would once again play tough and even (gasp) win the game. But that was only if UTEP Q-Back Nick Lamaison could connect with his receivers following a dismal showing against OK when he connected on only 6 of 23 passes. The Miners could be okay, if they could only find a quarterback, a consistent running attack, and a solid defense that doesnt fold at the latest sign of trouble. Win the Division? Well, lets see, who do the Miners play next, and next, and next? Quite frankly, it doesnt look too good if one.....Continues on page 4

Providence Memorial Hospital and Sierra Medical Center Name J. Eric Evans as
Market Chief Executive Officer
EL PASO MONTH X, 2012 Providence Memorial Hospital and Sierra Medical Center have named J. Eric Evans as market chief executive officer, effective September 3, 2012. In this role, Evans will oversee the strategic, operational and clinical activities for the 508-bed Providence Memorial Hospital and the 351-bed Sierra Medical Center. Eric is a well-respected leader with a proven track record of executing successful hospital operations, said Tim Adams, senior vice president of operations for Tenets Central States region. His passion and commitment to cultivating relationships with physicians, J. Eric Evans employees and the surrounding communities are strong attributes that he will bring to his new role. We are confident Erics experience complements the current leadership teams and will ensure Providence Memorial Hospital and Sierra Medical Center continue to provide outstanding service to the community. Evans has served in several leadership roles at Tenet Healthcare, most recently as chief executive officer of Lake Pointe Health Network in Rowlett, Texas, a network comprised of a 112-bed hospital and eight provider-based outpatient centers. As chief executive officer, Evans oversaw the launch of Rockwall Countys only elective interventional cardiology and open heart program and the development of four additional outpatient centers which are slated to open by the end of 2012.

UTEP Miners...
Continued from page 2 .... is to judge their chances by their remaining schedule. The bad news is that one strong game does not a season make. The good news? Sorry, there is no good news. Unlessunlessunlessthe Miners can regroup following their 2810 loss against Ole Miss. Next up for the Miners is cross-town rival New Mexico State, a team almost as dismal as the Miners. The Miners might just win this one, but, for some reason, both teams pick up their pride and their talent when they play each other. After the Aggies come the Wisconsin Badgers a team that was once ranked No. 13 in the nation. Remember, for the most part, the Miners dont play well against nationally ranked teams. Yes, I know, they did beat BYU in 1985, and BYU was the No. 1 team in the nation. But, that was then, this is now 2012. After that comes East Carolina, Southern Methodist, Tulsa, the Tulane Green Wave, perennial powerhouse Houston, UCF, Southern Miss, and Rice. Need I say more? Unless the Miners can find an offense that doesnt leave them hanging with too many third-and-longs, and unless the defense can defend against big plays, the Miners may have yet another dismal season on their hands. Fans can only hope for the best, but, as the Miners have gone in the past, that doesnt leave much room for hope. Remember in earlier days when in order to sell game tickets, the refrain was: Come to the Miner games. We promise we wont embarrass you Guess what? They embarrassed us. But, El Pasoans are a die-hard group and, for the most part, they do love their Miners. Now if only the Miners can return some of that love by winning games. But, this is an imperfect world. The Miners will continue to show up for games, but, win the division? Fat chance.

Global Warming:
Real or Man made?
It certainly is a difficult time to be a meteorologist. Its difficult in that many people are wondering about global warming and if its man made or just a natural phenomenon. I get this question quite often. Its a hard one to answer. I have read many articles and watched many videos from experts on both sides of the issue. Both arguments are compelling. Recently, the American Meteorological Society or AMS, released an opinion that makes it very clear that this ruling body believes that global warming is man made and very real. They say that since the 1950s, human activity is the main culprit with the added production of greenhouse gases. These are gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons that are released into the atmosphere. The AMS says that surface temperature data for the earth shows an increase of 1.4 degrees fahrenheight from 1901 to 2010 and about 0.9 degrees fahrenheight from 1979 to 2010. This warming, they conclude, is whats contributing to continental glaciers and ice sheets melting. The statement also refers to this countrys snowpack. The report contends that snowmelt is happening earlier, snowpack is smaller and the spring runoff is therefore greatly reduced. Weve noticed this in our area. The spring runoff from southern Colorado and northern New Mexico has not been good at all over the past 15 years or so. The AMS believes that the earths future does not look good at all unless we drastically reduce emitting greenhouse gases. This can only be done by educating our fellow man and encouraging our world leaders to take necessary action to prevent further damage to our economies, ecosystems and wildlife.

Weather Trivia:
What is the most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere and at what percentage? A. Carbon Dioxide - 26% B. Methane - 30% C. Ozone - 7% D. Water Vapor - 51%

much more than La Raza Unida Party


To hear tell, La Raza
Unida Party was the be-all of the Chicano Movement when it came to El Paso in 1972 to hold its first convention. La Raza Unida was an organization that worked to increase and improve the political awakening of Chicanos across the land, especially in Texas because no Mexican American or Chicano had ever been elected to political office. The effort was for fomenting self-determination and a sense of participation. Sure, La Raza Unida Party was an important element in the burgeoning Chicano Movement, but, it wasnt the only game in town, or in the nation. Across the land, in California, Cesar Chavez and his movement to improve working conditions for farm workers was also happening at about the same time. Yeah, there was politics involved, but, not to the extent of La Raza Unida. Chavez was more concerned with fighting growers who were only too happy to pay low wages for those who picked the crops from the fields, and who had them working and living under horrendous conditions. He was fighting for growers to eliminate the short hoe and institute the long hoe which was used for eradicating weeds from the fields, but, which was wreaking havoc on farmworkers backs. He was also fighting to gather the workers into a unified force that could clamor for higher wages and, in some cases, win. The growers, however, were aghast at the effrontery of the Chavez workers to unionize and they brought in the Teamsters Union to help break Chavezs efforts to unionize the workers under the umbrella of the United Farm Workers Organization. The battle was on, and strikes and boycotts were held in cities from Delano, CA, to New York City. This fight took on a different tack from La Raza Unida. Eventually, his union was recognized by growers and contracts were signed. On another battle the literary front in Northern California, Berkeley, to be precise, Quinto Sol Publications was beginning to publish Chicanos, to give light to the philosophies and the histories of the people. Octavio Romano, Herminio Rios C., and others, brought forth Tomas Riveras Y No Se Lo Trago La Tierra, Rudy Anayas Bless Me Ultima, Estela Portillo Trambleys Rain of Scorpions, and El Grito a quarterly, intellectual magazine that gave light to the efforts by Chicanos and Chicanas to intellectualize the Chicano Movement. El Paso was not too far behind in those efforts with the creation of Mictla Publications, which published Ricardo Sanchezs tome, Canto y Grito Mi Liberacion, Y Lloro Mis Desmadrazgos; El Politico by Jose Angel Gutierrez, and Voces de la Gente, by yours truly. That publishing house, a first for El Paso, was created by Ricardo Sanchez, Pat Roybal Sutton (now Caballero), and Jose Antonio Parra, the late writer and once State Representative. In San Antonio,Texas, Cecilio Garcia Camarillo, Mia Camarillo, and others, were busy giving voice to Chicanos and Chicanas through their magazine Caracol. This early-day publication was quite radical in its approach, publishing poetry, short stories, essays, and any number of works that complained of the treatment of the people by know-nothings from the Anglo world who would rather that Chicanos and Chicanas vanish from the earth because, wouldnt you know, we were not satisfied with our conditions of existence at that time. In El Paso, another magazine arose mainly, NOSOTROS, as well as other so-called underground publications brought forth by the late Ramon Arroyos.

Chicano Movement was


In Los Angeles, the Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War was blazing new paths in activism for Chicanos and Chicanas, a battle that saw the murder of an El Paso son relocated to California, Ruben Salazar. Salazar, an outstanding journalist was killed while covering the conflict for K-MEX TV. A Sheriffs deputy fired a tear-gas canister into the Silver Dollar Cafe, striking Salazar in the head, killing him instantly. The deputy who fired the canister said he wasnt aiming at Salazar. But, if thats true, then why didnt he fire his deadly missile at the ground? The deputy was found guilty, but, through some miscarriage of justice was never punished. Salazar, as a columnist for the Los Angeles Times was a thorn on the side of Anglo society for his scathing columns defending and speaking well of the Chicano community, a muchmaligned group of people, attacked by those with racist tendencies. The Moratorium was being conducted because Chicanos were five percent of the population of the United States, but twenty percent of the casualties in that highly unpopular war. In short, the Chicano Movement entailed many elements, on many different fronts. While, admittedly, La Raza Unida Party fought to bring Chicanos and Chicanas into the U.S. political structure, albeit as a distinct and separate force apart from the dominant and powerful Democratic and Republican Parties, it didnt accomplish its goals. Yet, it remains alive and well, with renewed efforts to rise again and, this time perhaps, to have a larger impact. Only time will tell. Sin Fin

Want to get a little beauty advice for the new fall season? Now there's a new must-have to add to your fashion shopping list: "Seventeen Ultimate Guide To Beauty: The Best Hair, Skin, Nails & Makeup Ideas for You," by Ann Shoket (Running Press, July 2012, $19.95). Packed full of advice, the editors of this popular magazine have combined the best beauty tips into 187 colorful pages, illustrated with top industry professional secrets, celebrity photos and easy-to-follow makeup and hair trends. And you don't have to be a teen to get inspiration from this book - a woman of any age can take a few cues from these experts to look great this fall. "I love a great beauty haul," admits Shoket, editor-inchief of Seventeen magazine. "But what happens when you get those new products home? What are you supposed to do with that new smoky-eye kit? How do you get that intricate fishtail braid you saw online? Let's be honest: Beauty can be sort of intimidating." Blot the color with a tissue and lightly dust a translucent powder over your lips.

For a doe-eyed effect,


pair fluttery lashes with a swipe of shimmery shadow just on the inner corners of your eyes.

For pretty radiance, mix a


little glitter with moisturizer on your hand. Smooth on your shoulders and dcolletage.

Make plucking eyebrows easier and less painful.


Look for tweezers with a slanted tip they're better at grabbing hairs.

But don't worry. These editors have put it all together for you in one book. Here are some of their best tips:

Dab concealer onto your eyelids before you apply


shadow to prevent fading and smudging.

Statement-making fuchsia lips stand out


on their own. Keep the rest of your makeup light for a romantic feel.

If your red lips fade, use a lip brush to fill them in. Adding another whole
coat can make them look gunky.

Pair lush lashes with strong eyebrows.


Fill them in with a brow pencil. Brush through the hairs to blend.

Get an edgy look by embracing elements that are strong, daring and undeniably cool. It
could be as easy as adding a swipe of crazy-bright liner or wearing neon lipstick with gunmetal shadow. Just be sure to contrast striking touches with a bit of softness.

A touch of cool, icy sparkle on our eyes, paired with a warm coral lip, makes for one hot
look.

Get a radiant look by combining highlighter above the cheekbones with a contouring sweep of bronzer below them. A shot of gloss to the center of the lips
makes your lips extra pouty.

Let the bright colors of autumn inspire your look. Leafy


metallic eyes hit the right note.

Our food system is making us sick. Our best antibiotics are losing their effectiveness, and we are percolating super microbes on our factory farms. Antibiotics have saved countless lives, but recently, antibiotic-resistant infections are on the rise. Microbes have been on the planet a lot longer than we have, can evolve a lot quicker and have begun to overcome our best defenses. Currently, more than two million Americans are infected each year by resistant germs, and 14,000 die as a result, the World Health Organization reports.

Antibiotic Abuse
In an effort to produce cheap meat, factory farming has been cramming more and more animals into smaller spaces and feeding them antibiotics to prevent infections. When antibiotics are given to living creatures, our systems can only use about 5 percent. The rest (95 percent) is excreted into the environment. Snippets of antibiotic DNA wind up in soil microbes and other bacteria because these tiny creatures "swap" genes, constantly exchanging genetic information and evolving.

DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren

tested, from effluent ponds on factory dairy farms to wastewater recycling plants to drinking-water treatment plants and even wild river sediments. Amy Pruden, one of the study's researchers, found that the DNA that helps make germs resistant to antibiotics was hundreds to thousands of times higher in water affected by people or factory farms but still prevalent in smaller quantities in pristine water sources.

SIBLINGS BLINDED BY FATHER'S MONEY TURN AWAY FROM MOM


DEAR ABBY: My father left my mother after 32 years of marriage. To say Mom was devastated would be putting it mildly. She tried to keep things cordial for the sake of her four kids, but Dad spurned her efforts. My three brothers and I are now married with children of our own. Only recently have I been able to express how ashamed I am of myself and my siblings for the despicable way we have treated our mother for the past 17 years. Dad was always arrogant, but he became even worse when he came into money. In our lives, Dad became No. 1. The reason? You guessed it -- the money. We put our mother down every chance we got, and our spouses chimed right in. We visited her only once or twice a year and never repaid the money she lent us. She knew she wasn't wanted or respected. Dad is clueless to the fact that we hang around only because of what we can get (and have gotten) from him. This is still true of my brothers, but I no longer want any part of this charade. Mom is gone now. No, she hasn't passed away. She quietly moved out of our lives and I don't know where she is. I don't blame her for leaving. The abuse she took from us shouldn't happen to a dog. When I look back, I remember a mother who held a full-time job, kept a marvelous home, was a great cook and had a wonderful laugh and sensitivity. She didn't smoke, drink or cheat on Dad. Was she perfect? Of course not; none of us is. All she wanted after the divorce was to be loved by her kids and spend time with her grandkids. Now the grandkids are growing up without knowing this wonderful woman. Mom, if you see this letter, I LOVE YOU DEARLY. I hope you can someday forgive me for all the years of hateful remarks and unkind deeds. The pain you must have suffered is something I'll have to live with the rest of my life. You are a class act, and I'm going to live the rest of my life trying to emulate your values and quiet dignity. -- MISSING MY MOM IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. DEAR MISSING: If you're truly sorry, it's time to tell your mother personally and ask her forgiveness. Do whatever it takes to locate her, including hiring a private detective if necessary. It may be expensive, but use some of the money you got from Dear Old Dad. ** DEAR ABBY: I am an 81-year-old grandmother who blindly trusted that my annual Pap smear exam would provide early detection for any type of uterine cancer. It took a diagnosis of uterine cancer that resulted in a subsequent hysterectomy for me to discover that this test is not enough. Although the Pap test should be part of a regular checkup, it only checks for cervical cancer. Except when hormone therapy is being taken, any bleeding, spotting or abnormal discharge following menopause is NOT normal and should be reported at once to your doctor. -- GEORGIA GRANDMOTHER DEAR GRANDMOTHER: I'm pleased that your cancer was caught in time. However, whether a woman is pre- or post-menopausal -and whether or not she is on hormone therapy -she should IMMEDIATELY alert her doctor to any abnormal bleeding, spotting or discharge. These symptoms are not just warning signs of cancer. They could also indicate a polyp that needs removal, or a sexually transmitted disease. ** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Caregiving Isnt for Sissies ... and Other Conventional Truths


Care for the elderly can be so challenging. You want to be kind, you want to make them comfortable, you might even want to give them five minutes of prime time at the Republican Convention to say nice things about the Mitt Romney nomination and then great-grandpa Harry pulls down his pants on the bus and, everything goes to hell. The convention organizers gave 82-year-old Clint Eastwood five minutes to speak; he took 12. They wanted him to be scripted and use a teleprompter; he refused both. He tricked them with his lastminute request for an empty chair on stage and then proceeded to get very naughty and shock the audience with his tasteless and pathetic "go fk yourself" joke. Twice. And what was the Republican response? Deep listening. Benign acceptance. Unconditional love. Who said compassionate conservatism is dead? This is exactly what you need for dealing with upsetting senior moments, according to Walter St. John, author of "Solace" (Bull Publishing), a thoughtful new book of advice for the millions of people who are caregivers for the elderly and the chronically ill.

DON'T HESITATE TO CALL IN SPIRITUAL HELP. It's natural to experience spiritual


anxiety during a serious illness, St. John says. As in, "Why did God let this happen to me?" You can be a confidante, a support, but when it comes to a more thorough exploration of spiritual needs, St. John suggests you "call in a rabbi, priest or other spiritual advisor. ... Some patients may be just as grateful for caregivers who are concerned about spiritual welfare, too." If you end up praying for or with your loved one, he says, "ask if there's anything specific he would like you to address."

"Above all, seek to connect heart to heart."

Continued from page 8...groundwater downstream from pig farms and in local soil organisms that normally do not contain them. His research found that tainted DNA was in the bodies, underfoot in the soil and in the water around conventional feedlots. Mackie noted that soil bacteria around antibioticusing farms carried 100 to 1,000 times more resistance genes than the same soil bacteria around organic farms.

LET THE TEARS FLOW. Chronic illness


and end-of-life matters will bring tears. Instead of whipping out a tissue and saying something along the lines of, "It's OK; don't cry," St. John suggests you let the floodgates open. Tears are a natural emotional release and can be very therapeutic. "The best thing you can do for someone who is crying is simply be present and listen if the person wants to speak." Amen to that.

DON'T OFFER FALSE HOPE. Resist the urge to sugarcoat reality. Don't say things like, "I'm sure you'll get well soon." People usually know when they are seriously ill and soon to die. If you fill the silence with empty platitudes, you can destroy your credibility and make your loved one feel you can't handle the stress of supporting her, St. John says.

We are growing antibiotic-resistant microbes like these on confined animal-feeding facilities.

Wastewater lagoons attract wildlife such as migratory geese and ducks that carry strains of the Avian Flu. When the wildlife add their microbes, we create an unnatural combination of resistant bacteria. Worse, feedlots often use the wastewater lagoons to irrigate crops. A University of Kansas environmental engineer noticed a dramatic spike in antibiotic-resistant genes happening on one Kansas feedlot. He discovered that new calves were given "shock doses" of antibiotics, which they promptly excreted into the lagoons. That effluent was pumped to the fields to fertilize the cattle feed. They were spraying the crops with highly resistant bacteria from the lagoon and then feeding it back to the cattle, which we later eat. Conservation medicine has been warning us for years about the potential for an outbreak. Doctors estimate that 75 percent of human illness originates with animals, such as Avian Flu, Lyme disease, West Nile virus, Legionnaire's and so on. Preventing and treating outbreaks through conservation medicine involves treating the root environmental problems, such as the loss of deer habitat bringing deer (and ticks carrying Lyme) closer to humans.CONT/P.10

"Let the person speak," says St. John, a retired professor of interpersonal communications. Even if what they are saying is entirely inappropriate and makes you feel uncomfortable, don't give in to "the urge to squelch the discussion or rapidly change the subject. ... It's very important to listen unselfishly and avoid responding with, for example, 'Let's not get into that right now ...' The best course of action is to listen as objectively as possible, with an open mind and an encouraging attitude." I've been a caregiver and still am. This is excellent advice, because tending to the needs of an aging or chronically ill loved one is a minefield of stress and strain. If you want to avoid tension, awkwardness and burnout, you need a strategy that includes practical tips, tactics and key words to say. Here, then, are a few more guidelines from the gospel of St. John:

RESPOND CONSTRUCTIVELY TO ANGER. Anger is a natural response to aging


and to deteriorating health, St. John reminds us. While you can't control your loved one's anger, you can control your own response. Make every effort to remain cool and collected. But don't invite him to be a keynoter in 2016. ENERGY EXPRESS-O! WANT TO MAKE THEIR DAY?

KNOW WHEN (AND HOW) TO SAY, "I DON'T KNOW." What if the person you're
caring for asks you about the afterlife or the unpleasant side effects of a medication? Learn to be noncommittal without seeming evasive, he says. You don't want your loved one to think you don't care, but you also don't want to feel pressured to say something you don't want to say. You can always respond with a simple, "I don't know," or another suggestion in the book: "Wow, that's the $64,000 question, isn't it? I need a little time to digest this."

Not So Ship-Shape
What shape you find yourself in after consuming alcohol may depend, in part, on the shape of the glass containing the drink. British scientists invited 160 social drinkers, ages 18 to 40 with no history of alcoholism, to a pair of experimental sessions. In the first, they were asked to consume either a lager or a nonalcoholic soft drink from either a straight-sided glass or from a curved "beer flute." Participants who consumed lager from the curved flutes finished their drinks almost twice as quickly as those who drank from straight-sided glasses. The drinking rates of the nonalcoholic beverage were the same, regardless of glass shape. Angela Attwood of the University of Bristol's School of Experimental Psychology said the reason may be that it's more difficult to judge the halfway point of shaped glasses. As a result, drinkers are less able to gauge how much they've consumed and wind up drinking more, faster. To test this reasoning, the study participants came back for a second session in which they evaluated computer images of differently shaped glasses containing varying volumes of liquid. They were asked to assess whether the glass was more or less than half full. Curved glasses produced the greatest amount of error. "People often talk of 'pacing themselves' when drinking alcohol as a means of controlling levels of drunkenness," said Attwood. "I think the important point to take from our research is that the ability to pace effectively may be compromised when drinking from certain types of glasses."

Continued from page 9 Another study of the mouths of healthy kindergartners found that 97 percent had bacteria with antibiotic resistant DNA for four out of six tested antibiotics. Resistant microbes comprised 15 percent of the children's oral bacteria, although none of the children had taken antibiotics in the past three months. Mexico and many other countries are vying for American markets by producing food exports in unsanitary and often immoral conditions. These conditions are often worse crucibles for disease-resistant microbes than American factory farms. If you really want to protect yourself and your family from superbugs like the Swine Flu, Avian Flu and other human-folly diseases; A study released in March found standard soap and 10 seconds of scrubbing to be among the most effective ways to get rid of bacteria. With 10 seconds of scrubbing, soap and water gets rid of the common cold virus, hepatitis A and a host of other illness-bearing germs, the study found. meat using organic practices, and "free-range", or "pastured" methods instead of confining animals (and microbes) to small areas where disease breeds. These farms can be found on

Your Horoscope
Mercury, the zodiacal minister of communication, has not always played this role. According to legend, the god started off as a bit of a thief. To keep him out of trouble, his father, Zeus, put him in charge of commerce, birds, pigs, trade, and various and sundry responsibilities. This week, as Mercury enters Libra, politics and other relationships will fall into Mercury's realm of influence. A bright, inventive, cooperative energy prevails. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You respect social norms with the exception of anything that threatens to limit your privacy, personal expression or freedom. Such infringements are intolerable to you, and you're likely to speak up about the injustice, especially on Thursday and Friday. You could even start a social movement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What keeps you from achieving a certain goal is only real because you believe it is. If you believe it's just an excuse, it will be that, too. And what if you believe it's a solvable problem? You'll solve it; that's what. You'll come up with the answer and move past it. Your increased confidence this week helps matters, too. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be presented to new people and groups and introduced in a way that makes you feel terrific. You may find this slightly surprising because you don't often think of how others see you. Introductions have a way of giving you an interesting glimpse of yourself from an outsider's view. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Infants learning to walk don't think about what happened the last time they tried and fell down. Instead, they get up and try again, and their body works out the physical equation. Similarly, you don't have to think about the past to act on all it has taught you. Trust yourself to automatically adjust. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll meet someone you really want to impress. As you wonder what would impress this person, consider the value of being an authentic human. So few people are willing to say what they really want or admit what they are afraid of. Be different, and you'll be most impressive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Attitude is everything. Does it really make sense to keep going at a task with a sour attitude? Whether the attitude in question is yours or someone else's, consider walking away for a time. Solving problems and getting through instances of low morale will be easier when you have a better perspective on matters.

week 09/13 - 09/19


have been dealt at random. This week's evidence suggests that's not the case at all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When is your time your own? If you give too much of it away to activities that don't mean anything to you or to people who drain you, you may feel like the answer is "never." You'll remedy your situation this week, carving out several hours to do what feeds your soul. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Devote yourself in some small way to developing in the manner to which you aspire. Maybe it's a project, a talent or an abdominal exercise. Twenty minutes may not seem like a significant amount of time to get something done, but when you dedicate those 20 minutes on a daily basis, things develop at a rate most pleasing. THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Many of your predictions about this year will come true because you planned them and made them happen. But there also will be the perfect sprinkle of the unpredictable to give you a chance to prove your grace, adaptability and strength of character. The next seven weeks bring excitement. Fresh faces influence your work. A lifestyle upgrade happens in December. November brings better ways of managing money. Invest reasonably in an opportunity in June.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your manner of dealing with a particularly challenging part of your life will shift, and this is the first week of the change. Refuse to fight the fight. Step back and sense your advantage. Where are your points of leverage? Tuesday brings a support system. You'll hold tangible evidence of your success on Friday. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A key is often a small thing you can hold in the palm of your hand, and yet its power is enormous. It can open a home or start the vehicle that takes you across the world. This week introduces a kind of key that is typically small and yet not tangible. It's more of an idea or an approach that can open the whole world to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you make a bad impression, don't worry. A bad impression is still an impression. You weren't put on Earth to fade into the background. Consider that you may have been put here to make mistakes and to occasionally feel the exquisite thrill of winning. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your wishes come in many sizes, shapes and colors. The universe doesn't discriminate. Sometimes big wishes come true while small ones go unanswered. Other times, it's the opposite. You may suspect your blessings

There are even 'colorful' commentators, but unfortunately, their one-liners quickly get old.

"Bullet Run" sports controls that will be familiar to FPS fans, so it's easy to drop into the action and start blasting opponents. Combat is fast and furious and players have small health bars, so don't be surprised if you die a lot! What you may be surprised to discover though, is that this free-to-play game seems to fall into the "pay-towin" category. Unlike many free-to-play games, this title only gives players a bare-bones amount of content to begin with. Anyone who wants to don cool face paint and perform satisfying taunts on enemies will have to pay for every little addition. Since it's much easier to buy powerful weapons than earn them, every kid with rich parents will dominate this game! Simply put, anyone who plays this game for free is at a disadvantage. "Bullet Run" may be a free, but players will have to shell out some cash to truly enjoy playing it.

PET PREPARED
By Gina Spadafori Universal Uclick Its a sad fact of modern life that when we think about disasters, our minds now add terrorist attacks and mass shootings to the natural calamities for which weve long been urged to keep our families prepared pets included, of course. But the fact remains that were far more likely to encounter a tragedy that wont make the news. Accidents, illness and even sudden death are regular visitors to our lives, and they commonly dont raise an eyebrow outside our immediate circle of friends and family. If something happens to you today, your pets need to be looked after, whether the situation will be temporary or, sadly, permanent.

Have a plan for your pet just in case something happens to you
again. While no one likes to think about this possibility, you have a responsibility to your pets to provide for them after your death. You cannot leave money directly to an animal, but you can leave the animal and money to cover expenses to a trusted friend or relative. In some states, you can establish a trust in your pets name. Talk to an attorney about what arrangement is best for you and your pets.

Are you prepared?


The first step is to make sure someone (or better yet, a couple of people) know that you have pets, where they are and how to care for them. Trade information with other pet-keeping friends, family or neighbors, along with the keys to each others homes. I like to recommend making a folder with all your

pets information. Pictures and a physical description of your pet are a good place to start. Add to the file an overview of your pets medical records, including proof of altering and dates of vaccinations. Instructions for any medications should include not only the dosage and where to find the bottle, but also whatever method you use to entice your pet to swallow the pill. Dont forget a copy of your pets license, as well as the name, address and phone number of the animals veterinarian. Write down some information about the tricks and

You should keep a copy of the file on hand in case you ever need to be evacuated with your pet. And
be sure to trade copies with the person youll be counting on to rescue your pet should you ever not be able to. Once you have made all the arrangements, make up a card for your wallet. On it, you should note that you have pets, how many and what kind, and the names and numbers of the people whom you have designated to care for them should you suddenly become unable to do so. A few years ago, I had major surgery, and although everything turned out well, I didnt take it for granted that I would survive, much less thrive. I put such a folder together for each of my pets, complete with arrangements for the worst-case scenario. I surprised myself in that I didnt find the exercise frightening or depressing. On the contrary, I found great peace in knowing that if something happened to me, my beloved pets would be taken care of.

Its essential that someone knows you have pets and how theyre to be cared for in case something happens to you. commands your pet knows, as well as any unique personality quirks, such as a favorite spot to be petted. Keeping all this information in an electronic file is also a good idea as long as there are directions on how to find it! charge to your credit card if you cannot be reached immediately. I have an arrangement with my veterinarian that if anyone absolutely anyone comes in with one of my animals, the doctor will take the pet in and do what needs to be done. And he knows that either I or my heirs will settle the bill later. If you are able to make such arrangements, put those details in the folder, too, and include any information on pet health insurance policies, as well. The final bit of information for the folder should concern arrangements for your pet if you never come home

As part of your preparation, talk to your veterinarian about setting up plans for emergency care or boarding. If youre a longterm client who always pays bills promptly, you should have no problem getting your veterinarian to agree to run a tab or

Born in Belgrade, Serbia and relocating to Melbourne, Australia when he was 13, kick started his musical journey. Like many other youngsters starting out in the music biz, Dragan couldnt afford turntables but he managed to improvise with his old NEC Hi-Fi and started mixing with the tape decks. From here on, Dragan developed further by making bootlegs and mashups. The first official production was released in 2004 and Dirty South was born. Soon after that, there was an influx of Dirty South releases and remixes. In 2005 and 2006, Dirty South was nominated for the renowned Australian Music Industrys top accolade, the ARIA awards, and in 2007 he took home the Best Producer trophy at the InTheMix top 50 awards. He did that again the following year and added best local DJ to his awards list. Since then, there have been many nominations, awards and accolades, including numerous Essential New Tune gongs by the legendary Pete Tong. Besides the successes he has had on his own, with releases like Its

Too Late, Let It Go, The End, Alamo, Phazing and Walking Alone, Dirty South has joined forces with some of best producers in the world and created anthems such as Open Your Heart with Axwell, How Soon Is Now

with David Guetta and Sebastian Ingrosso and Alive with Thomas Gold. On the remix tip, Dirty South has given the remix treatment to some of the most recognizable names in the music industry including U2, Snoop Dogg,

Tracey Thorn, Depeche Mode, Josh Wink, Skylar Grey and Diddy Dirty Money; and was nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award for his remix (with Axwell) of Temper Traps Sweet Disposition. During the summer of 2010, Dirty South launched his Phazing concept; encompassing a label of the same name to its first release from Dirty South called Phazing (which went on to be a global anthem in 2010) to the Phazing Nights branded live events. The Phazing label has since gone on to release tracks including Dirty South Phazing, David Gausa, David Tort & Thomas Gold Areena(featuring Tisto and Norman Doray remixes), Jeremy Olander Airstealer and most recently in 2011 Dirty South & Thomas Gold Alive and Dirty Souths latest smash, Walking Alone (named Essential New Tune by Swedish House Mafia during their takeover of Pete Tongs Radio 1 show.)

THE GOLF DOCTOR

By T.J. TOMASI
ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

Dynamic balance
About one-third of your body weight is in your arms, shoulders and head, and at 100 mph, a 12-ounce golf clubs effective weight is over 30 pounds, so you can image the force trying to pull you out of your golf balance. When it succeeds, it triggers your natural righting instinct, which causes you to bolt upright. You cant stay down and through the shot no matter what your good intentions were at address. Remember, balance is a self-organizing principle of your golf swing, so always swing to balance. Four basic re-balance strategies are employed by your body, depending on the severity of balance disruption, and theyre activated from the ground up, i.e., feet first. Even though static balance sets the stage, its dynamic balance, once the club is in motion, that produces a good strike at impact. When you shift your weight to your toes during your swing, the brain prepares your body for jumping, and these are not the motor networks you want firing while you are trying to hit down on a golf ball. Keep your weight flowing by first loading up your right side on the backswing, then loading weight into your front side as you start down to the ball. And while you shift, make sure to turn. This shift/turn will allow a steady state of golf balance, which is the key to a repeatable motion.

For some players, golf is a stressful game, and if you already have blood pressure problems, coffee and golf can be an unhealthy mix. A study done at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Oklahoma City suggests that people should avoid consuming caffeine during stressful times because the combination of stress and caffeine can spike blood pressure to dangerous levels, especially if you have a history of high pressure. So just in case, it might be a good idea to skip your morning java before your round, or switch to decaf. Or play so well it wont matter.
GOLF SPOKEN HERE

Gamesmanship
(Also known as poor sportsmanship.)
Trying to disrupt the play of your opponent using special tactics such as coughing during his backswing, standing so your opponent can see you then crossing your legs as she putts, creating a controversy to break your opponents concentration, or planting bad images in your opponents mind during what appear to be harmless chats between shots: Bob, your swing looks different than Ive ever seen it. What are you working on? Is this a new driver? Gee, it feels really heavy to me. You know, were playing pretty slowly; maybe we should speed up a bit.

This all-arms swing with very little body rotation is bound to pull the upper body toward the ground, triggering the righting instinct and pulling this player bolt upright.

Whatever happened to finish high and let it fly? Better for this effort is finish low and holler NO!

2012 Chase lineup, following the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Intl Raceway

Denny Hamlin (finished 18th) 2,012; leader

Greg Biffle (finished ninth) 2,006; behind -6

Kevin Harvick (finished 10th) 2,000; behind -12

He led the most laps at Richmond, but his bid for a third straight Sprint Cup victory didnt work out in the rain-delayed race at his home track. But his four regular-season race wins put him atop the standings after the points were reset heading into the 10-race, championship-deciding Chase for the Sprint Cup.

He was the points leader before the standings were reset for the Chase, which proves that hes been the best so far this season at accumulating points, which is the key to winning championships.

Reuniting with crew chief Gil Martin might be the spark he needs to kick his performance into high gear as the Chase begins. Since Martin returned to lead his team, the winless Harvick has had a fifth-place finish at Atlanta and a 10th at Richmond.

Clint Bowyer (finished first) 2,006; behind -6

10

Martin Truex Jr. (finished 21st) 2,000; behind -12

Jimmie Johnson (finished 13th) 2,009; behind -3

Many in the sport consider him the favorite to win the Chase, based on his five championships in the past six seasons. But he hasnt been dominant in recent weeks.

His move to Michael Waltrip Racing this season looks like a smart one. Hell head into the Chase with the momentum of a win at Richmond, one that came because he stretched his fuel mileage in the closing laps.

Hes been steady all season but had victory slip from his grasp in several races, including two weeks ago at Atlanta, where he was leading until a late-race caution flag opened the door for a win by Denny Hamlin. Kasey Kahne (finished 12th) 2,000; behind -12

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (finished 14th) 2,003; behind -9

Tony Stewart (finished fourth) 2,009; behind -3

11

He rebounded at Richmond after lackluster performances of late, including one at Atlanta where he started on the pole but finished two laps off the pace.

NASCARs most popular driver is having one of his best seasons in years and appears to have learned from his previous mistakes in championship hunts. Hes one of four Hendrick Motorsports drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

It wasnt until the ninth race of the season, at Richmond, that Kahne overcame an early season slump and moved into the top 25 in the standings. Now he has two wins and took one of the two wild card slots for the Chase.

Chase for Sprint Cup to begin at Chicagoland

Brad Keselowski (finished seventh) 2,009; behind -3

Matt Kenseth (finished fifth) 2,003; behind -9

12

Jeff Gordon (finished second) 2,000; behind -12

His consistency all season make him a strong contender for the title. In the past 10 races hes finished an average of 4.6 other than at Bristol, where he started third but was swept up in a crash.

Acknowledged as one of NASCARs most talented drivers and a proven championship winner, the big question surrounding Kenseth is whether his upcoming move to Joe Gibbs Racing from Roush Fenway Racing will distract from his title run. He says it wont.

Hes NASCARs Comeback Kid at this point of the season. After getting a win at Pocono six races ago to get in the running for a wild card berth, he finished the regular season with a thirdplace finish at Bristol and runner-up runs at Atlanta and Richmond to beat out Kyle Busch for the final Chase berth.

Prius C, V added to Toyotas hybrid lineup


By Christopher A. Randazzo Prius C Prius C
Compared to the Prius liftback, the C, which Toyota says stands for city is about 20 inches shorter. Actually, the C is only slightly larger than the subcompact Yaris and is meant to cater to the urban-friendly crowd. Also smaller in the Prius C is its powertrain. Similar to that found in the regular Prius, the hybrid system uses a 1.5 liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rather than the 1.8 liter found in all the other Prius lines. The electric motors are also downsized meaning they make less power. Total power is 99 horses (versus 134) but the C can still bring in 53 mpg in town and 46 mpg on the highway. was a little too small for your needs, then maybe the Prius V will get your attention. The V, which in this case stands for versatility is more of a wagon than a hatchback and is notably larger than the standard Prius. Not only is there plenty of room for passengers, but there is 34 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat, and that rear seat can slide, recline and fold down to accommodate various sizes of cargo. Who would have thought a Prius could be used as a utility vehicle? The C is probably the most enjoyable Prius to drive. Its smaller dimensions and lighter weight makes it easy to toss around and in city driving, its a piece of cake to handle. Power is lacking, but hey, thats to be expected, right? What I didnt expect was the fuel economy. Being a smaller lighter car, I expected the C to get much better mileage than what it is rated at. In fact, in town, the C only gets 2 mpg more than the regular Prius, and on the highway, it actually gets 2 mpg less. Hmmm - Im still scratching my head on that one. The V, as expected, is a bit less fuel efficient. Carrying around more weight, the V felt very stable on the road even giving it the smoothest ride out of every vehicle in the Prius family. And with all the room, the V could easily fit the role as a family people mover. Even though the cars share the same family name, they both have unique sheetmetal and even the cabin of the two are quite different. One interior cue they both share is the center mounted instrument panel. With the expanded Prius lineup, Toyota hopes to get more drivers in hybrids. And at a time when gas prices are on the rise as are car sales, the timing couldnt be better. Excellent gas mileage, Toyota dependability and now in different sizes the Prius continues to be a marvel in the car world. By The Numbers:

Since its debut in 1997, the Toyota Prius has been the poster child of hybrid vehicles. Easily the best selling hybrid, we have already seen three generations of the fuel-saving car as Toyota is constantly improving the Prius. But for 2012, Toyota has done something a little different they have launched a family of cars carrying the Prius name.

The conventional Prius is now referred to as the liftback and continues on. Its identical twin the Prius Plug-in add the ability to let you drive 13 miles totally gas free before going back to a hybrid vehicle. But the real news is the smaller Prius C and the larger Prius V, which are very similar to the basic Prius, but have different bodies.

Prius V

Prius V
If you always thought the Prius

Unlike the smaller C, the Prius V shares its powertrain with the regular Prius and uses the same 1.8 liter gas engine along with a couple of electric motors. Total power is the same 134 horses but due to its size, the V brings in 44 mpg in town and 40 mpg on the open road. Recently I spent a week in each vehicle and while they both share the same principal formula for achieving excellent fuel economy, they both serve very different purposes.
