Jacques Streeter Jacques Streeter had a big game against The SMU Mustangs. Streeter was perfect from the 3-point line and had 18 points. Streeters average is slowly reaching the double digits(9.4 points per game). Streeter passing the double digit mark will give the miners 4 players performing in double digit points. This type of balance is a great reflection of how the Miners are performing. The Miners won 63-54 with the help from Konner Tucker who dished out 12 points of his own. The Miners face ECU and UAB on the road this week before they come back to El Paso for 3 games to start the month of February. This Saturdays (Jan 26th) conference game will be a tough challenge for UTEP. The Miners come into this game at ECU(2-2) with a 3-1 conference record. The ECU Pirates are lead by Senior forward Maurice Kemp who is averaging 17.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Kemp had 30 points against Houston and and is a beast in the paint. A steady rotation of Washburn and lang will be needed to slow Kemp down in the paint. Mid way through the season, the Miners need to keep the pace up leading up to big games against Southern Miss(Feb 20th) and Memphis(Mar 5th). Currently around the conference, Memphis(15-3) and Southern Miss(15-4) lead the conference with both having a 4-0 record.UTEP commit Isaac Hamilton and younger brother Daniel Hamilton(recruit) had a big game this past monday. The brothers combined for 45 points for a win for St. Johns Bosco against Orange Lutheran. Bosco is currently ranked No. 1 in CIF-SS Division III-A and ranked 24th in the country.

an iffy situation at best

Running for Mayor of El Paso requires that a candidate be quick on his or her feet, that beaucoup bucks be available, and, most important name recognition. In the case of the current campaign, it features a candidate that meets all three qualifications, namely Steve Ortega. He is running against an unknown Robert Cormell, who has no name recognition and has never held political office of any sort. But, lest Ortega thinks the election is his, he must reflect and realize that there are no guarantees.
Ortega, a two-term city representative for District 7, has served in a quiet capacity, making noise, for example only in backing the citys providing health insurance for the partners of gay employees, and supporting the destruction of the current city hall to build in its place a $50 million baseball stadium to house El Pasos future sports team the El Paso Padres, or some such. Cormell, however, has made no noise at all and has very little name recognition, outside of business circles. He is a small business owner who has managed to raise so far $4,300 and Ortega $57,000 according to their latest expense reports. Cornell said he has raised very little money because hes been focusing on developing his mayoral platform. He promises that his next campaign report will show a stronger contributor base. Ortega, on the other hand, has raised his money from what he calls numerous $50 to $500 donations, including a $1,000 donation from newly-elected Congressman Beto ORourke. He has also said he would not accept donations from the folks who have been pushing the new stadium, including Woody Hunt, because that might constitute a conflict of interest. But, again, raising large amounts of cash does not guarantee victory. As witness the race a few years ago that featured City Rep. Raymond Telles against Carlos Ramirez for Mayor. Ramirez, who worked with thenMayor Bill Tilney, had only raised $30,000. Telles, however, had raised about $250,000. He even used that money to hire a consultant from San Francisco. All that money, however, didnt guarantee Telles a victory, because he lost to Ramirez. Of course, Telles made many mistakes, such as hiring a P.R. firm from Juarez to develop a newspaper that touted his qualifications and everything that was good about his campaign. Telles himself short-circuited a campaign

fray. Who knows who will jump in and truly challenge Ortega. One possibility is former State Senator Eliot Shapleigh. Although Shapleigh has not done anything to indicate that he would be running, if he did suddenly decide to run, he already qualifies under the three requirements money, name recognition and a track record. Shapleigh outscores Ortega in every category, except money. But, he could clear that hurdle very quickly with his connections and his ability to run winning campaigns. But, for now, the only candidates are Ortega and Cormell, although, again, that could change very rapidly. There is still plenty of time for anyone who dares to run a strong campaign with the intent to win. Ortega still does hold a good hand in his campaign. His refusal to accept donations from the power-brokers who want to bring a Triple-A Baseball team to El Paso may stand him in good stead. From all appearances, Cormell is against Triple-A baseball coming to El Paso, although he hasnt said as much. He probably figures that he could get the voters who oppose such a move to support him. But, then, in El Paso politics, anything could happen. Stay tuned.
Steve Ortega A more recent campaign proved that money isnt everything. The race for State Rep. between incumbent Dee Margo and his challenger, Joe Moody, showed that money came in a close second. Republican Margo raised more than $600,000 while Moody raised a mere $100,000. Guess who won that race Joe Moody, of course. The two candi-
Robert Cormell savvy. The money, however, seemed to give Margo the edge. However, much as he wouldve liked to keep his seat, all that money in his war chest didnt help. He lost. So, theres hope for Cormell. Remember, too, that its a long haul before the election in May. Other candidates are, perhaps, waiting for the right moment to jump into the

Enduring Some Brutal Wind Chills

It was certainly cold last week as temperatures only topped off in the 30s and 40s and bottomed out in the teens and twenties. But as cold as the actual air temperature was, the wind chill is what dealt us a major blow. We recorded some wind chills in the single digits across parts of El Paso and southern New Mexico. But what exactly is the wind chill? The wind chill is a temperature that we feel when the wind is blowing. Its like being at the beach on a windy day when the temperature is 87 degrees. When you get out of the water, even though it is very warm outside, it feels much colder. In fact, many of us will grab a towel to warm up and block us from the wind. This is because the wind draws away body heat by evaporating what moisture is located on the skin. The wind does not change the temperature outside but it does change the temperature of our skin. The wind chill is not a factor for inanimate objects like cars or pipes. A wind chill will only affect the exposed skin of humans and animals. Plants do not have warm bodies so they are not affected by a wind chill. The only aspect of the wind that can be damaging to a plant is that it takes away moisture something that plants desperately need. The wind chill that I often report during my weathercasts becomes critical when the air temperature drops below the freezing point. This is when the wind is stealing and taking away our body heat faster than we can replace it. When this occurs, we can develop frostbite. Thats why it is critically important to dress in layers and be well prepared when it gets cold and wind chill factors are present.
Weather Trivia:
The record wind chill factor ever recorded in El Paso occurred in 1962. What was that wind chill?
A. B. C. D. -3 Degrees -8 Degrees -17 Degrees 22 Degrees
Answer: D -22 degrees. We hit -17 degrees on February 3, 2011

By Sharon Mosley After months of celebrating the holidays, most of us put ourselves on a budget for the new year. But what if we could still "feel" rich and dress like it, too? What a concept! That's the idea behind fashion expert Anna Johnson's latest book, "Savvy Chic, The Art of More for Less," (HarperCollins, 18.99).
Beware the bold tan. Instead

Johnson advises a "very, very light tan." She uses Jergens for her "St. Barts-in-a-bottle" effect. "But exfoliate first because you don't want zebra-striped latte legs."
Wear sleek shiny shoes

with a low heel in a neutral color and steer clear of platforms says the fashion writer. "Angelina Jolie wears black ballet flats and tan patent leather pumps all the time. It's not as if she needs to look more beautiful, but somehow the elegance and restraint of those shoes makes her look even more appallingly rich."
It's the ultimate savvy chic, says Johnson. "And the secret with that is simple: dress a little plainer than you'd like. Chic, as we all know, is a restrained rather than a flashy art.
So, if your pocketbook is feeling poor these days, take a few tips from Johnson who has lots of "shortcuts to putting on the Ritz for pennies."
If you wear vintage, make sure it fits perfectly.

"My 'rich girl' dress is the plainest thing in the world," admits Johnson. "A vintage A-line dress to the knee in oatmeal linen. It looks as classic as an Oleg Cassini or as modern as Prada, and it costs me $30."
Think big. That is go with "big" jewelry

rather than small, she says. "A big watch, an even bigger cocktail ring, a big (I'm talking huge like a tarantula!) brooch, big chunky necklace, and yes, big earrings, all look more glamorous than fiddly, fragile clusters of ornament." There is a trick, however only wear one gold burnished or bejeweled statement per outfit.
Find a statement dress and wear it with "really modern shoes." Graphic prints are
Johnson's favorite. "If you wear an eye-popping dress, it conveys a high level of social and professional confidence." Then add the shoes: "Teamed with a slightly outrageous shoe, you are downright arrogant."
Show off a great handbag. Johnson even suggests you "rent" a designer bag if you have a job interview. Choose one in a solid color without logos, heavy hardware, or trimmings dangling off. "There's not much faking for a great handbag."
Add a personal touch.

Whether it's something "soft, eccentric, or a little bit shocking to make you look more comfortable in your skin," she says. "I have a beat-up old Missoni scarf that I wear with a very formal suit jacket. It makes me look less try-hard and adds a glamorous patina to formal tailoring." Sharon Mosley is a former fashion editor of the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock and executive director of the Fashion Editors and Reporters Association.

One trick to "dressing rich" is to wear a "statement" dress, according to fashion expert Anna Johnson. Here is a bright lemon yellow ruffled dress with statement shoes from Prabal Gurung's new designer collection at Target, coming out Feb. 10.
Go natural with your hair. Skip the "raccoon-stripy" highlights and go

for a more natural look a la Lauren Hutton. "Her hair always had a flyaway grace," says Johnson. "Pokerstraight blowouts look very cheap, especially when the ends look like fried, pointy rattail. Banish the straightening iron!"

DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren
A VERY SPECIAL MOTHER LEAVES LEGACY OF HUMOR AND LOVE

DEAR READERS: My beloved mother, Pauline Phillips, has passed away peacefully at the age of 94. Over the last quarter century Alzheimer's disease had stolen away bit by bit her remarkable intellect, but she battled her illness with courage and dignity. She was my best friend who can never be replaced. As those of you who have read this column when my mother wrote it know, Mama had a deeply caring heart, a lively sense of humor and a deep devotion to all of you. She tried every day to educate, enlighten and entertain, and to inspire civility and respect for others in the many thousands of people who sought her advice. Her days in the office were spent answering letters and calling people who were in distress. Over the years, her list of sources, friends and contacts grew into a Rolodex that was legendary. The demands on her time and travel were many, but she was a loving mother, loyal wife, a caring friend and wonderful role model. Mama was born on July 4, 1918, to Russian immigrant parents and was the youngest of four daughters. She often said that until she was 12 she thought all the fireworks were for her and her identical twin sister, Esther (Eppie). She always had an interest in and deep concern for other people. After her marriage to my father, Morton Phillips, she put that interest into action and became president of her local mental health society and trained Gray Ladies for the American Red Cross. She honed her skills as a writer by writing a letter to her parents every day and to her sister-in-law who had contracted polio and spent a year in an iron lung. I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to my mother's devoted, highly professional caregivers, Jane Ebertowski, Rachael Reisdorf and Erna Hoche, who were at her side 24/7 for the last 11 years. They are angels on earth and brilliant at what they do. Please join me and offer a prayer for my mother. She had an amazing journey from Sioux City, Iowa, to shaking hands with U.S. presidents and British royalty. Ask that her spirit be surrounded by the souls of the many individuals whom she loved and who loved her. She has sat in God's waiting room for so many years, and now may their souls be joined together. -JEANNE PHILLIPS, AKA GRIEVING IN MINNEAPOLIS

week 01/24/13 - 01/30/13

dence of your ability to focus on the present. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you engage in your work at this lucky time in your astrological cycle, you will have long stretches of that heightened state called "flow." Two major features of this state are that it is both fearless and egoless, which are nearly the same thing. Without fear, there is no need to fluff, posture and defend the personality. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because of your daring attitude, routine events glimmer with an element of danger and excitement. By the end of the month, you'll get some news that shakes you like a martini but don't worry, it won't leave you chilled. Instead, you'll buzz with boldness, ready for your heroic leap. THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: It's your year for amplified communication. Though you currently express yourself in many ways, you will expand and deepen your means of expression. More people will understand you and with greater specificity than before. With Mars entering Pisces and Venus coming into your sign this week, your love life is infused with new and spiritual intensity. February and March provide steady financial growth. An adventure in June is unparalleled. Bring family together in July.
Who Will Save Your Soul?

Do you cover your mouth when you yawn? This practice of good manners is actually a hangover from ancient times when people were so concerned with the fragility of existence that they developed rituals to ensure the life force stays put, inside, animating the body. One big exhale, some believed, might accidentally release the soul. The entrance of Mars into Pisces may have you examining your own rituals for staying spiritually intact. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Confident people carry themselves differently from others. Because your confidence comes so naturally, you don't think about this very much. But this week brings new situations in which you may not experience your usual comfort level. So push your shoulders back, breathe deeply and smile. This will be fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Life's cycles and overall balance will be a subject of fascination. While you are having a good time, someone else is not. Should you let it diminish your fun? It depends on the situation, the relationship and the distance between people. It takes emotional intelligence and compassion to navigate these factors well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are friendships you find pleasant, and then there are friendships that are so tremendously beneficial that you can hardly believe your luck. You'll meet new people this week, so start thinking about what you need and who you would like to know. Mindfulness will help you find more ties that fall into the second category. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It may be difficult to determine precisely what is within your control. The only way to find out is to try to have an effect. If it works, great. This week you might think of your environment as if it were a computer game in which you have to click on different elements to determine whether or not you can change them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be asked to account for recent decisions. Though you're the one who made these choices, this won't be easy. Much of what you do is intuitive, and the reasoning may be unclear even to you. And sometimes you are reacting to old subconscious triggers. The best you can do is strive for greater awareness. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Thanks to the needs and animal wisdom of your ancestors, your brain is wired for survival. But some of the "fight or flight" responses that kick in for you these days are unnecessary in today's world e.g., you are not being stalked by a saber-toothed tiger. Detach and get the perspective you need to remain cool. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every once in a while it comes up, and you are suddenly overtaken by a need to become perfect, or a need to appear perfect, which are two very different things, both of them equally unhelpful. Remind yourself of this, and then drop it if you can. It's better to simply be who you are, flaws and all, and go for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who dare to be seen making mistakes are the happiest ones around this week not that they care to compare themselves. They are too involved with their worthy mission to bother with what the rest of the world thinks of their process. You'll be in this category, too, when you take on an exciting problem. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you bring a greater level of awareness to your actions, you may notice that you're more concerned with what others think about how you're doing than what you think. Great! Once you notice, you'll immediately change your direction and focus. Thursday brings a personal breakthrough. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though you have been known to keep an eye out for the bottom line (especially when others have long since forgotten the purpose of an exercise), you really do value process over results. This week's endeavors are evi-

Is Your Big Twist to Unwind: Bank Is Reverse Robbing You Blind?

Bank fees are like a leaky faucet. Drip by drip, there goes your money right down the drain. Remember the good ol' days when virtually every bank was offering totally free checking? Well, you can kiss those days goodbye. Even on accounts that are still advertised as "free," banks and credit unions alike are adding fees to consumer accounts and I mean in every sneaky way they can think of. Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Regions Bank, to name only a few, have recently placed strings on their "free" checking accounts. In the case of Wells Fargo and Regions Bank, you must maintain an average balance of at least $1,500 per month or have at least $500 of direct deposits to your account each month. This means if you have your paychecks or Social Security checks direct deposited, you would pay no monthly fee for checking; otherwise, you must pay a monthly fee of $7 or $9 at Wells Fargo, depending on how you want your statements sent to you each month. Regions Bank and Bank of America have similar arrangements. Even USAA Federal Savings Bank, which has long been a favorite of mine for not messing with "free," has added strings that require either direct deposits or minimum balances to get free ATM use. Bank of America tried to levy a $5 monthly debit-card fee, but dropped it after customers revolted. CONT.P.10

umn (and politics) and read it regularly. However, I do have a bone to pick with a recent column, 'Holiday food, stress lead to extra pounds.' Your recommendation to 'spit it out' after chewing food was a particularly bad one. That kind of response to overeating can set the stage for developing an eating disorder. Far too many people suffer with bulimia and/or anorexia, including my own daughter. It is not something to encourage nor take lightly." A family physician wrote, too, also scolding me for my "spit it out" idea. It's something people with eating disorders do, she said with a wag of her finger, and shouldn't be encouraged. On another subject, here's a thoughtful if depressing email from from W.P. of Sarasota, Fla. Could this be true? "Marilynn, I enjoyed your Tuesday column asking the presidential candidates to encourage lowering demand for health care. Sadly, the reason they won't is arithmetic. "Health care is 15 percent of GDP. Retail food business is 10 percent of GDP. At least one quarter of the economy would be adversely affected by people changing their nutritional and exercise habits, or by funding research that proves the health impact of a vegan diet. I am convinced that this is the elephant in the room that is blocking all exits. " ENERGY EXPRESS-O!

OK, here's a bit of silliness to start your dendrites dancing: What do Chubby Checker and every yoga class have in common? Think now. Yes! The Twist.
Chubby Checker made twisting wildly popular in the '50s, but for thousands of years before him, yogis were doing twists as part of their daily bliss-building routine: deep, penetrating twists around the spinal column that are done standing up, or sitting down; upside-down or rightside-up; twisting as far as possible to the left, then twisting as far as possible the opposite way.
ent vital areas your kidneys, adrenals, liver but the one thing that all twists have in common is that they flush out the stagnant fluids and toxins and bring in fresh, healing blood. This cleansing is especially important in winter, when our bodies tend to be more sluggish. A few twists a day really can help keep the doctor away. Spinal twists lubricate, nourish and increase the elasticity of the muscles and ligaments of your spine. Twists help balance your nervous system, prevent backache and massage your internal organs, toning your kidneys, spleen and liver. Twisting also helps with your digestion and your elimination. You can't say that about a game of tennis.
But what's the purpose of all this pretzelizing? Humility? A trimmer torso? Just because we can?
Today's brief pitch for my primo form of exercise will help you understand why yoga is such a wondrous workout, one that is carefully designed to benefit your entire body. Too many people focus only on the the outward appearance of a yoga asana i.e. Triangle, Cobra, Downward Dog. Just as important, more important in some ways, is what is going on inside your body as you relax into each pose, using your breath to create space, then filling that space with free-flowing prana (energy).
LEARN HOW. So
now you understand why twists are so therapeutic. Next you need to learn how to do them correctly. For that, turn to a good yoga teacher. Mindless twisting can add too much pressure and strain on your body, while a wise teacher can help you understand and respect your limits. With practice, you'll learn to use your breath to maximize your twists, increasing flexibility. Never twist through pain. When you learn to surrender to the resistance of a twist, you have learned something about surrendering to life, letting go of old stagnant energy to make room for life-giving, joy-making fluids to rush in.
WHY TWIST?
When you do a twist, you are giving your organs and glands a good wringing out. Followed by a good soaking. Think of a sponge. First you squeeze it dry, then you release it, and it soaks up all the fluid around it. Different postures work differ-

Dirty Truth
In our culture, "dirt" is a derogatory term. Yet, we need only look back a few decades to the Dust Bowl era to see how dirt is really important. In the 1930s, the prairie grasses were plowed under to grow crops. After several years of intense drought, the soils dried out and no crops or native grasses survived to hold the topsoil in place. Winds whipped the topsoil into huge dust storms, causing many families to become refugees and the loss of more than 5 inches of topsoil from almost 10 million acres, according to the United Nations.

Five inches may not sound like much, but it takes nature up to 500 years to produce 1 inch of topsoil. We are depleting our topsoil at a rate 10 times greater than nature can replenish it, according to several studies. Topsoil loss is three times worse in more populated areas like China and parts of Africa. Chi-

American topsoil often winds up in rivers and streams as silt. Many rivers, such as my local Hudson River, are now brown from topsoil erosion.
Here are a few things you can do to reduce topsoil loss:

Compost fall leaves and vegetable trimmings. Use the compost to enrich the soil in your yard or garden. Eat only pasture-raised local meats, and avoid corn-fed factory farmed meats. Don't buy or support biofuels made from corn. Buy direct from small farmers who are less likely to use large-scale cultivators.

Five D's for Reaching Goals

DR. WALLACE: I'm not a gifted student. I work extra hard and long on my studies to maintain a B average. Because of my limited educational ability, I know that I won't become a college professor or a medical doctor. This means I must concentrate on professions that don't cater to the gifted. I have set a reasonable goal for my future. I would really appreciate any advice you can give me so I can reach my goal successfully and have a wonderful productive life. P.S. I'm a 16-year-old girl. Nameless, Niagara Falls, N. Y. NAMELESS: A very wise retired teacher from Mississippi wrote to me several years ago to give me her philosophy on the learning ability of her students. She wrote, "God gave all people equal talent. It's up to the individuals to find their specialties." I believe she is right on. As a teacher, I have observed students with average ability become highly successful professionals. I've had the good fortune to speak to large groups of teens in many parts of the country from Newport Beach, Calif. to Seattle, Wash. to Lake Charles, La. and Gary, Ind. I always leave them with what I call my "5 D's for Reaching Your Goals and Finding Success." Follow them, and find out where they take you.

Continues from page 9 Wells Fargo, SunTrust and Regions Bank have recently announced that they will be charging debit-card fees on certain accounts. Recent federal law capped overdraft fees and certain levies on credit cards. And the Federal Reserve this past summer limited what banks could charge merchants when consumers swipe a debit card. All of these changes have cut into banks' profitability. But the big banks are managing to wipe away their tears, however. A recent report in American Banker, a trade publication, was downright giddy to announce that after falling to $31.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011, annualized overdraft revenue rose 2 percent, to $31.8 billion, in the same period last year. Let me paraphrase that for you: In the 92 days of July, August and September 2012, consumers coughed up $31,800,000,000 in just overdraft fees. How is it that Americans do not have enough money to get off the consumer credit treadmill but they can easily cover $32 billion in overdraft fees in just 90 days? And, according to a study by the Pew Safe Checking in the Electronic Age Project, 89 percent of the checking accounts offered at the 12 largest U.S. institutions now involve bank fees. For the moment, smaller banks are not following in the footsteps of their larger competitors. At least for now. If you look really hard, you should be able to find totally free checking, with no minimum balance requirements. Just know that somewhere there are going to be strings attached. Count on it.

DREAM. I encourage all teens to dream, and then set attainable goals on the way to realizing that dream. DEDICATION. It takes dedication and planning to reach all your goals. DETERMINATION. You won't reach your goals unless you make doing so a priority. It takes gritty determination in the face of setbacks and discouragement to make your dreams come true. DILIGENCE. Allow nothing to stop you from achieving your goals. Temptation will try to slow your efforts, but be strong and stay the course. Keep your dream in front of you. DELIGHT. Hurray! You've done it! Don't forget to savor your accomplishments every step of the way.
Everyone can dream, set goals and reach that dream! This opportunity is not a function of grade-point average. It's each person's birthright. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

MOGA Controller Enhances Mobile Gaming

DEVELOPER: Power A PUBLISHER: Power A SYSTEM: Android 2.3 or Later PRICE: $49.99 REVIEW RATING: 4 stars (out of 5) As a core gamer for over 30 years, l will be the first to admit that I snub my nose at cellphone games. At first the simplicity was a turn off, but now there are hundreds of high-quality casual and core games available. However, I still can't get past the annoyance of using touch screen controls. Not only do my fingers block major portions of the onscreen action, but they also leave an oily residue that further diminishes the visuals. Thankfully, a handy new mobile gaming controller called the MOGA has managed to eliminate these flaws. The MOGA is a black rectangular controller that can be paired with Android cellphones and tablets to move the controls It's even possible to hook it up to a cellphone or tablet, and then display the visuals on certain televisions. I'm thrilled to see that the MOGA uses the familiar ergonomic console controller setup to which most gamers have become accustomed. Since Nintendo feels the need to change their controller setup for every new console, the last thing I want to do is learn is another foreign set of button placements! Dual analog sticks grace the front of the MOGA, and four face buttons above the right analog stick resemble that of Sony's and Microsoft's controllers. Two shoulder buttons add extra controllability to the unit, and there's also a start and select button on the front. My only complaint about the controls is that the analog sticks don't offer full movement.CONT/P 12
off-screen. It has a cool built-in retractable arm that holds Android phones sideways at a comfortable angle, letting users see both the screen and the controller. Since it uses Bluetooth to connect to Android phones and tablets, the MOGA doesn't have to be attached to the unit it controls.

Continued from page 11 Anyone who likes third-person action games or firstperson shooters simply has to add this cool device to their collection! It makes playing these types of games so much more enjoyable because players can focus on slaying enemies instead of struggling with the controls. The MOGA also greatly enhances flying and space combat games as well as platform REVIE W games like 5 star SCORING S "Sonic CD" and "Pac- 4 sta s = Must-H YSTEM ave rs = V er y G Man." I can't imagine 3 sta ood rs the frustration of 2 star = Above A verag s = Ba e 1 star r playing these types = Don gain Bin 't Bot of games using her touch controls! Not every game on the market works with the MOGA because games must have compatibility added by the developer. Fortunately, this can be done both during development or added in a patch after release. Currently there are around forty games that are compatible with the MOGA, including: "GTA: Vice City," "Steampunk Racing 3D," "Jet Set Radio," "The Dark Knight Rises HD" and "Real Soccer 2013." In addition, at least two free games are included with the MOGA app. All compatible games can be downloaded from the MOGA app store or the Google store, but better support will come from MOGA itself. Not only does the MOGA enhance my portable gaming experience, it's also very quick and handy to set up and use. The unit comes with it's own carrying bag, and both the MOGA and an Android phone (unless it's the Galaxy Note II) will fit easily into a standard pocket. It only takes a few seconds to pull out the MOGA, attach a phone, and then get the gaming party started! Sadly, one major oversight can cause problems. The control button on Samsung Galaxy phones (and possibly others) ends up on the underside of the phone when turned sideways, so it isn't accessible when the MOGA is attached. This means that gamers have to manually remove the phone from the device to adjust the volume, which is an unnecessary annoyance. Power A claims that the MOGA will run for up to eighteen hours on two triple A batteries, and I have yet to run into any problems with power consumption. However, I would gladly sacrifice a few hours of power to get a rechargeable battery pack instead of using standard batteries. Casual gamers will be intrigued by the MOGA controller, but this handy device is a must-have for core gamers on the go!

beginning Kenseth excited

about future with Gibbs No. 20
hange is one of the constants in NASCAR, but it still seemed strange for many to see Matt Kenseth, who spent all but two of his NASCAR starts with Jack Roush or longtime Roush employee Robbie Reiser as his car owner, driving Joe Gibbs No. 20 Toyota in two recent test sessions. Kenseth stunned the NASCAR world, including Roush himself, last year when he announced while atop the Sprint Cup points standings that he was swapping teams. Kenseth had a strong lame-duck run at Roush, making the Chase and winning two of the final 10 races. Even so, he showed no hint of regret at his decision and seemed to be looking only forward as he met with reporters during a recent test at Daytona International Speedway. Everything has been really great, he said of his transition. I dont think it could be any better. He said the full story wont be known until after a few points-paying races. The results pretty much tell the story, and were a few months away from really seeing results, he said. Ive been extremely encouraged. Im really optimistic about the season, really like my group and really like the way they do things over at JGR [Joe Gibbs Racing] and the Matt Kenseth drives the No. 20 Toyota during Sprint Cup Series Preseason Thunder testing at Daytona International Speedway on January 12. (NASCAR photo) cars. Kenseth backed away from drawing comparisons between the Fords he drove for Roush and the Toyotas hes driving for Gibbs, pointing out that since all NASCAR entries have been dramatically changed since last year that theres no fair comparison to be made. Im looking 100 percent forward and not looking back, so its not really fair to compare anything, he said. But, I will say both tests so far my cars have been really fast. I really like how they drive. I really like how they react to change, and Ive been pretty encouraged with how everything has been going so far. Hes also looking forward to working with Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, who have had great success driving Gibbs cars. There are not many people that win more races than those guys, so Im excited to work with them and learn from them and hopefully be able to contribute as well, he said, adding that he hasnt learned anything surprising about his new teammates. We havent been out on a date or anything yet with either one of them so I havent really learned anything on a personal level, he said. Just been working on racing stuff. Kenseth did say hes spent some time getting to know his new crew chief, Jason Ratcliff, and thats important because having good chemistry between a driver and crew chief plays a major part in the success of a race team. Ratcliff, who had built a strong resume as a crew chief in the Nationwide Series, spent last season as a Cup crew chief on the No. 20 Toyota, which was driven by Joey Logano, who has moved to the No. 22 Ford at Penske Racing. Kenseth said he and Ratcliff, who started his career as a mechanic and tire changer for Sadler Racing in 1995 and first became a crew chief in 1999, have tried to spend some time together away from the race track. I have been getting to know him a lot more on a personal level, and just trying to get to know each other a little bit as not just a driver-crew chief relationship, but kind of build a relationship there so we know each other a little bit, Kenseth said. Ive really enjoyed that, and again we havent raced together yet, but Ive really enjoyed getting to know him this winter and spend some time at the shop and spend some time at the track at Charlotte and [at Daytona] as well. The on-track results have been fairly encouraging so far. Kenseth topped the charts on the final day of testing at Daytona with a lap at 194.062 miles per hour and was 13th fastest in last weeks rain-shortened test session at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a lap at 192.143 mph.

63 Daytona 500 victory still resonates 50 years later

This years Daytona 500, on Feb. 24, falls 50 years to the day since DeWayne Tiny Lund scored a Daytona 500 victory that is considered one of the most heartwarming stories in NASCAR history. Lund won the 500, his first triumph in the series now known as Sprint Cup, as a replacement for Marvin Panch in the Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford. Ten days prior to that 500, Panch, who had already qualified the Woods Ford, wrecked a Maserati sports car while trying to set a speed record. Panch lost control of the car in Turn Three, and it turned over. The doors of the Maserati, which wrapped up over the top of the car, had him pinned inside as fire broke out. Lund, Glen Wood, founder of the Wood Brothers team, NASCAR official Johnny Bruner, mechanic Jerry Raborn and tire engineer Stephen Petrasek saw the crash, jumped Bruners station and sped to the crash scene. Modified drivers Ernie Gahan and William Wimble were coming through the infield tunnel into the track, saw the crash, scaled a fence and came to Panchs aid as well. We were the first ones there, Wood recalled. It was hot. Some of the guys got their hands burned real bad. Lund, being the biggest and strongest of the rescue party, used his brute strength, and that was key to freeing Panch, Wood said. For theirs efforts, Lund, Petrasek, Raborn, Gahan and Wimble each received the Carnegie Medal. With Panch hospitalized with burns, the Woods needed a driver for their No. 21 Ford. When Glen Wood and his brother Leonard, the teams chief mechanic, came down to making their final decision, the question they asked themselves was: If its the last lap and youre leading the race, which driver would you rather not see on your back bumper? That made the decision to hire Lund an easy one, Glen Wood said. Tiny was a pretty aggressive driver despite his weight, which was about 280 pounds at that time, he said. The 1963 running of the Great American Race started under caution for a wet track and when the green flag was finally displayed, a total of 36 laps were run before the first caution flag flew. The Woods pitted, checking the tires and filling the car with fuel. After that, the team began a strategy that would put them in position to win on fuel mileage, if the caution flags played out in their favor. They ran 40 laps on the next pit cycle, then 42 on the next two, leaving just one 40-lap run to the checkered flag. Also, their pit stops were quicker because they never changed tires, as their car was getting excellent tire wear. In the closing stages of the race, Fred Lorenzen was leading with nine laps to go, but gave up the lead to stop for fuel. Then Ned Jarrett led briefly, but stopped with eight laps to go, leaving Lund out front. Continues on page 23
Revised Ford Taurus is Americas classic full-size sedan

The story of the Taurus has had its share of ups and downs. Launched in 1986, the original Taurus was a milestone design for Ford, and the public ate it up. For the following ten years it was the best-selling car in the country. But by the late 1990s, sales declined as the Taurus lost market share to Japanese midsize sedans. Despite numerous redesigns, Ford could never reestablish the Taurus as a top seller like it once was. But in 2010 the Taurus got a shot of life where once again, it became a serious player in the full-size sedan market. Now for 2013, the Taurus gets a freshened exterior, more power for the base engine and the addition of an available turbocharged four-cylinder that increases fuel economy. At first glance it may be tricky to spot the design changes to the Taurus but once you see them, they stand out. Up front

base engine and front-wheel drive. Despite its size, the Taurus doesnt drive big. Road manners are impressive for a car that weighs in at 4300 pounds and is 5 inches longer than an Explorer. The steering is direct and precise and gives the driver some nice feedback. The ride is a little firmer than what I would expect from a Taurus, but its far from being high-strung. For a daily commuter, the ride and drive of the Taurus is ideal. With fresh hot looks, an interior made to impress, and choices in the drivetrain for either performance or fuel economy, the 2013 Ford Taurus covers all bases. It may not be the game-changer that the original 1986 model was, but its a solid step in that direction for Ford.
higher than normal, giving them a nice view of the road. The trunk in the Taurus is massive making groceries and anything else you put in there easily lost. At more than 20 cubic feet, it is almost twice as large as some of its competitors. Every Taurus comes with a sixspeed automatic transmission and is front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive being available on the higher end SEL and Limited trim levels. The standard engine continues to be the 3.5 liter V6 engine but for 2013 Ford has upped the power from 263 hp to 290 hp with no penalty to fuel economy. But if fuel economy is a priority, youll be happy to know that new for this year is an optional turbocharged 2.0 liter fourcylinder. This EcoBoost engine makes 240 hp and an impressive 270 lb-ft of torque yet gets 22 mpg in city driving and an astounding 31 mpg on the highway. Those are crazy numbers for a full-size sedan. For those who care more about horsepower than fuel consumption, the Taurus SHO continues with its 365 horsepower twinturbo 3.5 liter V6 engine. For 2013, the SHO gets a Performance package that includes a firmer suspension and upgraded brakes, transforming the Taurus into a four-door sports car. My nicely equipped Taurus Limited came to me with the
there is a new grille and front fasica that smoothes out the lines of the vehicle. Move along to the side and youll notice the different wheels. Then near the rear, the fenders and deck lid have both been reshaped. While all changes are
subtle, the end-result is a sportier overall design for the 2013 Taurus making it look better than ever. Inside, the interior remained basically the same, but thats ok since the Taurus sports one
of the best cabins in its class. Along with the twin-cowl dash, the center stack waterfalls into the dashboard giving the interior a cockpit feel. Every control is logically placed and easy to understand. And the materials used for the dash and console are some of the best I have seen Ford use. If I had to point out any flaw, it would have to be with the gauges they are deeply recessed in the dash making them hard to read at times. When it comes to room - the Taurus doesnt disappoint. The front seats are very comfortable despite being a little constrained by the large console. And the backseat, while not the largest in this class still offers plenty of room with passengers sitting a little By The Numbers:

New crew chief helps Almirola

Since being paired with crew chief Todd Parrott last September, Aric Almirola has become much more competitive in the No. 43 Ford at Richard Petty Motorsports. In the final five races of 2012 he had three top-five starts and two top-10 finishes, including a fourth-place run at Martinsville. He led 69 laps at Kansas Speedway before being knocked out in a crash. Then last week, he topped the charts during a test of the Generation 6 race car at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a best lap of 194.021 miles per hour. His teammate Marcos Ambrose was fourth at 193.285 mph. Almirolas speed, while unofficial, bettered the 193.708 mph run by Greg Biffle in setting the track record last fall.

63 Daytona 500...
Continued from page 21 The announcers kept asking us when we were going to come in, Wood said. We said we werent planning on it. But the reporters were persistent. Kenny Martin, the Woods gas man, assured the rest of the crew that hed gotten the tank full, but the worries in the pit area continued to build. They kept asking us, and we began to wonder ourselves, Wood said. But we did make it. Glen Wood said his team and Lund shared 10 percent of the $24,550 winners purse with Panch. And Lund kept on driving the No. 21 until Panch returned in mid-season, for the World 600 at Charlotte. In seven starts in the Woods Ford that season, Lund had a win and five top-five finishes, with an average finish of fifth. In qualifying he had three front-row starts, with an average start of 5.8. Tiny was a good race driver, Wood said, pointing out that many of his wins came in divisions other than Sprint Cup. He dabbled in a lot of different things. Lund, who had some of his greatest success in the old GrandAm Series, died in a crash during a Sprint Cup race at Talladega on Aug. 17, 1975. The Woods went on to win 98 Cup races and four more Daytona 500s, the most recent of them two years ago with Trevor Bayne driving. Glen Wood has been inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame and his brother Leonard will be inducted next month. A replica of Lunds winning Ford Galaxie will be on display at Daytona International Speedway during Speedweeks, then the car will be placed in the NASCAR Hall of Fame to commemorate Leonard Woods induction.
